Chu Sen was also shocked by these lawless villagers and asked, "Are these people crazy?"

"Be careful, don't let them find us." After that, we curled up behind the grave and didn't dare to move. We didn't dare to show our heads until the noisy voices disappeared.

"Damn, I was almost scared to death." Chu Sen said.

"Didn't you always want to get into trouble when you were in school? Logically, you shouldn't be afraid."

"Hoodlums wouldn't be this brutal in a fight, would they? These people don't look like farmers at all, they're nothing but bandits."

We sat for a while, and after calming down, we started to look for Wang's tombstone separately. This time we were more careful and only dared to crawl on all fours, not even daring to breathe.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Sen whispered, "Old Yu, come over and take a look. This is really a bit strange."

I turned around and crawled to his side , only to see Chu Sen standing between two graves. The grave on his left was bigger, and the one on his right was smaller. The top of the tombstone of the bigger grave was engraved with four green characters "Eternal Green", and the epitaph below was "No regrets in youth, in the prime of life, but will follow the immortals for eternity", signed by father: Wang Gui, mother: Chen Ju, brother: Wang Hezi.

This is naturally the murderer 's grave, and on the small grave opposite there are only two words "Ouli" written on it.

Even if we don't know much about funeral rituals, we know that all the graves in a cemetery must face the same direction. It is impossible for them to face each other. Moreover, the two graves correspond very neatly, which is obviously intentional.

It seems that this "Ou Li" is Director Ou's "seed life base". Thinking of this, I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I know what's going on."

"Oh, tell me about it."

So I explained the principle of "planting a life base" to Chu Sen and said, "Since a cenotaph can be used to pray for blessings, it can naturally also bring disaster upon people. Director Ou's inexplicable blindness must be due to this grave. As long as we dig up this grave, the problem will be solved."

"But I'm afraid this grave will be difficult to dig. Since Wang Gui built it, he certainly won't allow anyone else to dig it up. He's a highly respected man in the village, and these villagers are extremely barbaric. They definitely won't let us level this grave."

I scratched my head and said, "You're right. This matter is indeed not easy to handle, but we have found the cause. As for what to do next, it depends on Uncle San's ability."

So what we have to do next is to wait for Uncle San to come out of the detention center.

Drunk driving is punishable by seven days of detention, and when we arrived at the local area, my third uncle had already been detained for three days. Four days later, on a Wednesday afternoon, my third uncle, Luo Tianbao, and a cousin Wu Jinbao, whom I had never met, were finally released.

Later I learned that Wu Jinbao was in charge of the business in the family. He was away on business all year round and rarely went home a few times a year, so I had never met him. He was Luo Tianbao's younger brother. Although he was two years younger than Luo Tianbao, he earned much more money than Luo Tianbao.

However, Wu Jinbao didn't have any special skills. His greatest ability was talking. The purpose of bringing him to Laolong Village this time was to trick Wang Gui into agreeing to repair the grave for his son. But Wang Gui was a very capable person. It was impossible to fool him with just a few words. Instead, he got his uncle San and the others into trouble.

The first thing Uncle San asked after receiving them was: "Where's the car?"

Chu Sen pointed at the Audi Q7 next to him and said, "You haven't seen such a big car?"

"I'm talking about Guangben. Didn't I ask you to bring the car here?"

I asked in surprise, "You really drove a Honda? Aren't there no Japanese cars where we are?"

"That car was given to me by someone when I was doing business outside. My family thinks Japanese cars are unlucky, so I got a Sichuan license plate because my main business is in Sichuan," said Luo Jinbao.

Chu Sen laughed heartily and said, "Old Yu, it seems you are still far from being Sherlock Holmes. Don't make random deductions in the future. It might even cost someone's life."

"Go away, stop talking nonsense." I turned to Uncle San and said, "I thought you wanted us to go to the village to do some research, so I didn't move the car."

Uncle San said, "I don't blame you this time. I didn't explain myself clearly, but the villagers of Laolong are very tough. Are you two really going to go into the village to investigate?"

"We really entered the village and found out some information." Chu Sen couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Uncle San said, "You two are really brave. You're lucky this time. If you were discovered by the people from Laolong Village, they would either kill you or cripple you."

Having witnessed the fighting skills of the people from Laolong Village with my own eyes, I knew that Uncle San was definitely not saying this to scare people, so I nodded and said, "You're right. I'm also scared when I think about it, but fortunately, this adventure finally yielded some results, so it was worth it."

"Oh, what did you find? We have been working in vain for several days." Uncle San suddenly became interested.

So I told him about the unusual sightings in the ancestral grave area. Uncle San asked, "You said the two graves were built side by side, right?"

"Yes, from this we can tell that Director Ou must have been schemed by Wang Gui."

Uncle San nodded and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect this guy to be so knowledgeable."

"Is this the genetic pair that Wang Gui gave to Ou Lijian?" I asked.

Uncle San waved his hand and said, "This is also a kind of living burial, but it's not a living foundation. It's called a kowtow grave."

"Kowtow to the grave?" It sounded new to me. Can you kowtow to the grave?

"Yes, have you ever looked closely at those two graves?"

"Yes, I looked carefully. There are two graves, one large and one small. There are many words on Wang Gui's son's tombstone, but there is only his name on Ou Li's tombstone. Uncle, what does this have to do with kowtow?"

"Didn't you notice the most important detail? What are the shapes of these two graves?"

"This..." I thought carefully and said, "The big tombs seem to be round, and the small tombs are the most common funnel shape."

"If you haven't looked closely at the small grave, you'll see it's not funnel-shaped, but rather resembles a horse's back coiled on the ground. That's why it's also called a horseback grave. The two graves you see are facing each other, one large and one small, like a horse docilely lying at each other's feet, with its back facing upwards. This is called a kowtow grave. If a dead person is buried in a kowtow grave , the fortune of that person's descendants will be suppressed by the descendants of the deceased in the large grave . In the past, wealthy landlords would build their tenants' graves into the shape of horsebacks, with more than a dozen of them standing in front of their own ancestral graves, so they could oppress the tenants' descendants for generations to come."

"This is so abominable. Wang Gui is so immoral." I couldn't help but curse.

"Of course, there are no landlords now. Wang Gui and Ouli are thousands of miles apart, so it's impossible for them to bully each other. His goal is to use this method to ruin Ouli's career. There are no bones in Ouli's grave, but as long as we get Ouli's hair, saliva, blood, and fortune , we can build a living grave to affect Ouli's physical senses. If a person lies prone on the ground for a long time, wouldn't they be blind and dizzy? The equivalent of this for a living person is that Ouli can't look around and can't concentrate on one thing. He's the deputy director, and any wrong decision will cause big trouble."

"If he doesn't pay attention, as a deputy director he can't even drive a car, how can he make any decision?" Chu Sen said.

"So a small kowtow grave can ruin a high-ranking public official?" I said.

"I didn't expect you to find out about this. It saved me a lot of trouble." Uncle San said with a smile.

"But this grave is not easy to demolish. Given Wang Gui's status in Laolong Village, outsiders cannot move this grave at all." I said.

"That may not be the case. Everyone has their own interests. As long as we can find what Wang Gui needs, we can exchange it with him."

"But how do we know what he needs?" Chu Sen asked.

"What a coincidence! I actually know about this." Uncle San said confidently.

"Do you know why you didn't tell me earlier? It was so unfair for me to spend these seven days in detention?" Luo Jinbao muttered unhappily.

"I only thought of this during these seven days of idle time. My seven days in jail were not in vain." After saying that, my uncle asked me, "How did the police handle the matter after the fight?"

"They arrested people, but the villagers and the police were in a standoff for a long time. In the end, it was only after the head of Laolong Village intervened that the police dared to enter the village to arrest people."

"The village chief is a woman, right?" said Uncle San.

"Yes, you have had dealings with her?"

Uncle San smiled slightly and said, "I've never met the head of Laolong Village."
