Chapter 72 The ancestors live in the old house
Chenjiacun and Tongkou Town are not far apart. You can drive there in ten minutes.
However, when he arrived at the village, Chen Hao couldn't help but sigh.
The whole village is not small, with hundreds of households, but now, every household is closed, and there are only a few old men and old ladies in the village, chatting together or busy in the vegetable garden, which looks very...
Deserted.
This is the development of the great era. Working outside is the only choice for the majority of working people to follow the pace of the times.
A car entered the village and attracted the surprised eyes of these old people.
Chen Hao had no idea of showing off and drove directly to the old house.
His old house is a common large tile-roofed house in rural areas, with a small courtyard and kitchen in the back, and a small bamboo forest. It would have been very good a few decades ago.
However, most of today's villages choose to build two-story small buildings, so this large tile-roofed house seems out of place.
Chen Hao moved to Tongkou Town when he was in junior high school. This large tile-roofed house had not been maintained for many years and has now become a dilapidated building filled with all kinds of debris.
Chen Hao parked the car and was about to get out when he suddenly made a move and looked at his old house in astonishment.
Under his yin and yang eyes, he actually saw a gathering of yin energy!
Damn it, is there a ghost in my old house?
Chen Hao's heart suddenly jumped.
It's not that he was scared, but he was shocked. You have to know that he lived here before junior high school! What is the concept of a ghost in the house?
Chen Hao looked at the old house with twinkling eyes. After pondering for a moment, he opened the car door and walked directly to the old house.
Although I no longer live here, the ghost actually occupied my old house. I am very brave.
Pushing open the rotten door, Chen Hao went directly to the room where the Yin Qi was.
Before it manifested, Chen Hao couldn't see clearly what this ghost looked like. However, judging from the level of yin energy, this ghost had existed for a long time, and it was weaker than the century-old water ghost like Zhao Yuan. It was an old man.
ghost.
In other words, if this ghost didn't occupy the deserted house halfway, it would have been living here all the time.
When I was a child, I actually lived with ghosts and didn't know anything about it. This is ridiculous...
Chen Hao's face darkened, he looked at Yin Qi and said, "Stop hiding, show up."
The yin energy in the corner remained motionless, seemingly unconscious.
Oh, don’t you care about me? Do you know whose territory this is?
Chen Hao smiled, took out the exorcism charm from his wallet, input his magic power, and waved it out.
The exorcism talisman was triggered instantly and turned into a ball of spiritual light, impacting on the Yin Qi.
Bang, amidst the muffled sound, the Yin Qi surged and half of it dissipated.
This time, Yin Qi didn't dare to hide anymore and flew out from the corner.
Just when Chen Hao was about to use the consecration bracelet to slap it again, an angry voice sounded.
"You are an unfilial descendant and you actually beat your ancestors."
Chen Hao: "..."
At this time, the Yin Qi turned and transformed into a short, fat old man wearing a shroud, blowing his beard and staring at Chen Hao.
Chen Hao's raised hand froze, he was dumbfounded, and his mind couldn't turn around.
Ancestor? This ghost is an ancestor of the Chen family?
"Ahem, um, are you always doing this?" Chen Hao didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, he quickly put down his hand and asked weakly.
The short and fat old man gritted his teeth and said: "I am your grandfather's father, you bastard. Look at what you have done. You almost beat me to death. Are you trying to bully your master and destroy your ancestors?"
Chen Hao quickly said: "How could it be possible? I don't know. You keep hiding in my old house without knowing why. Um, are you really my... great-grandfather?"
Halfway through the explanation, Chen Hao looked at the short, fat old ghost suspiciously.
Speaking of which, his grandfather passed away due to illness when he was a child. He didn't even remember his grandfather's appearance, let alone his great-great-grandfather who lived much earlier.
"Hey, you don't recognize your ancestors. I'll beat you to death..." The short, fat old man was angry and waved his hand to beat him. However, when he raised his hand, the old man remembered that this young man is not ordinary. He can see himself, and he can also
Those who can use spells, if they really want to take action, they are not sure who will hit whom, their movements suddenly freeze, and they don’t know what to do.
Chen Hao discovered the old man's anomaly. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was somewhat credible.
Because the old man's behavior was very natural, not like telling lies, and Chen Hao suddenly remembered something. He seemed to have heard of such a great grandfather when he was a child. It is said that the great grandfather was also a landowner at that time, and his family owned hundreds of acres.
Liangtian, who also has two shops at the dock in Tongkou Town, is a famous local figure. And what he is most famous for is his ability to have children. He has four sons and three daughters from one wife and one concubine, which is what Grandpa is most proud of.
But later, at the wedding banquet of my great-great-grandfather’s fiftieth birthday, it was reported that the eldest son had gone to attend something like that, and when he left, he also took the third son with him. When he heard the news, his great-grandfather was so angry that he died at the birthday banquet.
It made a fuss.
Chen Hao had heard this matter as a story when he was a child, so Chen Hao didn't worry about it. But now, looking at the old ghost's clothes and his angry expression, Chen Hao was already somewhat convinced.
"Ahem, it's not that I don't recognize it, it's just that it's a little hard for me to accept that you suddenly said that." Chen Hao responded euphemistically.
The short and fat old man took advantage of the stage to go down the slope, put down his hand, and hummed: "You little bastard, I'm afraid you have forgotten my ancestor a long time ago, but your uncle's house still has my portrait, you will know it when you see it.
"
Now Chen Hao completely believed it. Being able to say this meant that he was not afraid to investigate on his own.
It's just that it feels weird to have an ancestor suddenly appear.
Chen Hao looked at the short, fat old man with some embarrassment. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer the question.
The short and fat old man looked at Chen Hao and sighed: "It has been so many years since his death, but I didn't expect that my Chen family would still have such a person like you."
Chen Hao said modestly: "You always praise me, but I just got some opportunities and know some sideways. Well, great grandfather, have you always lived in my house?"
The short and fat old man hummed: "Do you think a living person can withstand the evil spirit of a ghost like me? If your family hadn't moved away, my ancestors wouldn't know where to hide in the wind and rain."
Chen Hao looked astonished: "You can't, are we elders of the Chen family so unfilial? You were also a very famous person back then, and you must have built a luxurious tomb."
The short, fat old man became even angrier when he heard this. He glared at Chen Hao and said: "When your grandfather was still alive, I still had a place to live. Once your grandfather dies, who will remember me? I returned the grave, but now it has been dug up and the bones have rotted away.
Yes, your uncle’s family’s bumper grain harvest every year is probably due to me.”
Chen Hao was ashamed. What he said was so thorny in his spine.
"Ahem, Grandpa, you can't say that. You have so many sons and daughters, and my grandpa is not the only one. Those elders don't remember you."
Hearing this, the short, fat old man's face showed loneliness and disappointment.
"Yes, there are so many children, but your grandfather is the only one who remembers me well. This ancestor really failed."
