Chapter 6 Someone Else
At this time, I also noticed Duan Gong's expression, and suddenly a bad premonition arose in my heart.
When I got closer, my parents came up to me and asked me how things were going.
I told them the general idea of what happened truthfully.
My parents breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and my uncle's tense expression also relaxed a bit. But at this moment, Duan Gong came forward and said, "Baby, did you not listen to me and come back?"
Duangong's face was frowned, and looking at his expression, you knew that something bad was going to happen.
It was the Taoist's words that immediately attracted everyone's attention towards me, and a look of worry reappeared on my parents' faces.
I was in a daze and didn't answer immediately. Later, I said, "No."
The Taoist priest’s expression did not relax, and he continued to ask me, “Really?”
The Taoist priest asked me the same question over and over again, which made me begin to doubt myself, but I remember that I really did not look back on the way to the cemetery carrying my grandfather's body.
There was one time when I looked back, and that was after I reburied my grandfather.
I thought about it for a while and then told the story again.
After I finished speaking, the Taoist priest did not answer me immediately, but remained silent.
Seeing this, my uncle asked for me, "Master, this kid is not violating your instructions, right?"
"Well, there is a deadly aura blocking his life palace. It seems that his grandfather is not the only one who wants to kill the kid."
As the Taoist priest spoke slowly, my whole family turned pale with fright .
When my second uncle and third uncle's families heard that I was in trouble, they were unwilling to stay here any longer. They said goodbye and left in a hurry.
But the uncle was still here, looking at me with concern, and patted me on the shoulder, reassuring me not to be afraid. I nodded and said, "Okay."
"Duan Gong, what do you mean? Who else wants to harm my son?" my father asked with concern.
Duan Gong pinched his fingers but did not speak in a hurry.
My father was anxious and said, "Whoever dared to harm my son, I will definitely kill him."
My dad said this angrily.
The Taoist priest went to ask my father to calm down. After counting with his fingers, he looked at me again and suddenly asked me, "Baby, have you offended anyone recently?"
After graduating from junior high school, I followed my cousin to slaughter pigs and sell pork. I have been staying outside all these years. It is absolutely impossible to say that I have never had any quarrels with others outside, but it is also basically impossible to say that there is any deep hatred.
I briefly described what had happened to me, but after listening, the Taoist priest shook his head and said, "Not these?"
The uncle immediately asked, "What is that?"
"If the kid didn't offend anyone, then it's your Chen family who offended someone."
Duan Gong continued.
The uncle objected, "It's impossible. Our family has always been simple and honest in the village. We get along well with the villagers and basically have no conflicts."
My mother also said: "Yes, we get along well with our neighbors."
After hearing this, the Taoist priest was somewhat unconvinced and said calmly, "Think carefully, why did the kid's grandfather suddenly become disappointed? Was it really because of the kid's blood and anger?"
These words made everyone present look solemn.
Now there are people plotting against us and trying to cut off our family's descendants.
I was young and anxious, and I was very straightforward, so I asked directly: "Master Duan, please tell me directly, who is the enemy of our family?"
Duan Gong rolled his eyes at me and said, "If I knew, I would have solved it for you directly."
From the way Duangong spoke, it was clear that she didn't believe it.
"It seems that the people following you are your family's enemies. They will not let your grandfather go even after he is buried."
Duan Gong continued to speak.
"Is there no other way?"
Uncle asked anxiously.
"I think the baby's grandfather came back not to harm the baby, but to protect the baby."
Duan Gong suddenly said this, and it was as if everyone had just woken up from a dream.
"That's right. How could my father be willing to kill his own grandson?"
The uncle sighed.
However, the most urgent task is not to lament about these things, but to think about how to solve the problem.
The Taoist priest stared at me and said, "When you go to sleep tonight, place a scented oil lamp under your bed. If the scented oil lamp can survive the early morning hours, then you are fine for now. If not, then you are in serious trouble."
I looked at the time and it was already late.
Just listening to his words, my heart couldn't help but start beating fast. I admit that I was really getting nervous.
Even scared.
But there was no other way. The Taoist priest said to me, "I will go back tonight. If the lights are not out, you don't need to look for me. If they are out, remember to look for me."
"Duan Gong, aren't you going to stay?" my mother suddenly asked nervously.
"It's no use for me to stay now. I have to go back and prepare some things."
After saying this, Duan Gong did not delay and walked out of my house.
It was now almost eleven o'clock. My uncle sent the Taoist priest away. My mother brought a willow branch that she had broken from somewhere to me and asked me to use it to take a bath to get rid of the bad luck.
I listened to her and took a bath with willow, and at night I lit a scented oil lamp under my bed. But I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
My heart felt like it was holding a breath, so tense that I dared not relax at all.
I don’t know if any ghosts will come to my house tonight, so I can only wait. I took a deep breath and felt very nervous.
I took out my cell phone to check the time, and at this moment I could feel the light coming out from below through the gap in the bed. When I felt the light, my heart, which had been hanging in the air, couldn't help but relax a little.
It was past midnight and the incense oil lamp was still not extinguished. I was very happy. Five minutes later, it was still the same.
It looks like nothing will happen, and I should be able to have a good sleep tonight.
Just as I was getting ready to go to bed, a voice suddenly rang in my ears. I couldn't help but be distracted for a few seconds when I heard it.
It's like someone is having a conversation.
After just a few words of conversation, sounds of quarreling were heard outside the door.
When I heard the arguing, I immediately felt something was wrong. It seemed like something was going to happen.
After waiting for a while, the sounds of quarreling were getting closer and closer, and suddenly in the next second, I heard a slamming sound outside my bedroom door.
The noise was very loud and there were several bangs. Just when I was about to ask who it was, a familiar voice came from outside the door.
