The story of Bu Youming begins with his father Bu Huangquan bringing back a dead man from Huangquanyan on the mountain.

Although Bu Youming has left the village at the foot of the mountain, the stories of their Bu family are still being circulated in the village.

When we arrived at the village, every household had closed its doors, and there was not even a sound of barking dogs in the whole village. It was eerily quiet.

I looked at my watch: "It's only after eight o'clock now. Shouldn't this be the time when people from rural areas come to visit us?"

There are not many entertainment projects in rural areas. At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, it is the time when families have dinner, chat with each other, and play mahjong.

Although the lights were on in the village, there was no sound in the houses, which was obviously not normal.

Nie Xiaochun said: "Ever since the incident happened at Bu Youming's house, the village here has been like this."

"After Bu Huangquan brought the dead man back to the village, the village couplets with the word "Fu" all fell off overnight. They couldn't put them back on."

"Then all the dogs in the village were frightened to death."

"Later, although Bu Youming left, the village still couldn't put up Spring Festival couplets and couldn't raise dogs."

In the couplet, the word "Fu" is a barrier to ward off ghosts. If ghosts want to enter, they must deal with these two things first.

Dogs can see things that ordinary people cannot see. According to legend, pure white dogs can also bite ghosts. This is because Erlang Shen's Roaring Dog is a pure white thin dog.

Many people think that the Roaring Dog is a black dog. In fact, this is not the case. It is just the Roaring Dog shown in modern film and television works. In the "Erlang Searching the Mountain" in the Song Dynasty, the Zaju in the Yuan Dynasty, and "Erlang" in the Jiajing Year of the Ming Dynasty

The Roaring Sky Dogs in "Baojuan" are all white dogs.

The couplets in the village cannot be pasted, and dogs cannot be kept, indicating that the people who were brought into the village by Bu Huangquan have not left.

However, since Bu Youming has become famous in the world, won't he come back here to have a look?

I asked Nie Xiaochun, "Where is Bu Youming's home?"

"It's not far ahead!" When Nie Xiaochun led me to the entrance of a courtyard, he was stunned: "Bu Youming said that his home is here! Where is the house?"

There was only a courtyard where Nie Xiaochun led me. The courtyard was as clean as if it had been pushed by a forklift. Except for a flat open space, not even a tile could be seen.

Ye Yang stretched out his hand and pressed it on the ground: "There are dead people buried here. You go and find out about this house. Lin Zhao and I stay here to see what is hidden here?"

After Ye Yang and Lin Zhao stepped into the courtyard, the courtyard door slammed shut.

I followed the crack in the gate and glanced into the yard. I saw Ye Yang and Lin Zhao standing in the empty yard. I felt relieved and took Nie Xiaochun to the house closest to us.

I just knocked on the door twice when I heard someone in the yard curse angrily: "I'm going to die! I didn't know you couldn't knock on the door in the middle of the night!"

I stood outside and shouted: "I'm from the county and I'm looking for your village chief to do some business. My phone is out of battery and I can't contact your village chief. Can you tell me where to find him?"

When the person in the room heard that we were members of the government, his attitude improved a lot, but he still didn't go out: "You follow this road to the end, and the third house from the beginning is the village chief."

"Thank you!" I was about to turn around when I heard someone say slowly: "Don't count it wrong. If you count it wrong, you won't be able to come back."

The villager I was talking to just now clearly didn't leave the house.

However, the person who later said "Don't count wrongly" was just talking to me on the wall.

The sound was like someone standing against the wall, watching us walking forward and talking to us.

I gave Nie Xiaochun a look and walked forward along the wall, tapping on the wall with my hands as I walked.

Knocking on the wall while walking is a taboo for walking at night.

Especially the kind of wall that goes all the way to the bottom with no space in the middle cannot be knocked on.

If you knock outside, someone will be listening inside.

If the other party just listens, that's fine. If the people inside listen and knock along with you, that's bad. It means the other party has followed you.

This is no different from "you call him out" or "he calls you in".

Moreover, if people outside want to go elsewhere, but cannot go, they can only move forward along the wall.

In this world, there is no wall without an end. When you reach the end of the wall, the two of you will meet it.

I knocked on the wall on purpose just to call out to the other party.

Sure enough, someone was knocking on the wall in response to me. After I took a few steps forward, the sound of knocking on the wall stopped suddenly. I took another step forward, and the sound started.

It's just that the sound this time was obviously a bit louder than before.

Has the person knocking on the wall been replaced by someone else?

It should be!

The place where the sound stopped just now happened to be the courtyard wall between the two houses.

I have passed by a house.

Could it be that there is a ghost standing in the yard in every household?

I walked three or five steps further and there was the door of that house.
Chapter completed!
