After Chen Suiyu got on the plane, then took a bus, then took a taxi, and finally arrived in the area where his hometown is.
After this whole operation, it was already evening when we arrived at our hometown of Tianling County.
From the small county town to Chenjiacun, there are still many kilometers of mountain roads. When Chen Suiyu took a taxi to that area, the driver asked strangely.
"Young man, I've been to Chenjia Village. It's quite far away. There are mountain roads here. There are no motorcycles to take you there at night. Maybe you plan to walk up there."
Chen Suiyu was scanning the QR code to pay. He made an excuse and replied with a smile: "No, my relatives will come to pick me up later."
The driver then understood and said: "That's OK. , I’m leaving first. It’s late at night and the road in the mountains is very dangerous, so be careful.”
The driver was quite enthusiastic. After saying to pay attention to safety, he stepped on the accelerator and left.
At this moment, Chen Suiyu turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and illuminated the surrounding area. The intersection was a muddy path. It could be seen that it had rained in the past two days, so the road under his feet was a little wet.
"Shengsheng, are your injuries okay? Will it cost too much to take me away?" Chen Suiyu asked worriedly.
Shengsheng patted her chest, straightened her back, and vowed: "It's not a big deal, dad, don't worry. If such a small problem can't be solved, then Shengsheng has been practicing for so many years in vain."
Of course, Sheng Sheng didn’t know exactly how many years she had been practicing. She only knew that she had been in the jar for a long, long time, so long that she lost track of time.
"Okay, let's set off. I'll show you the way and you take me. I happened to buy some tributes. I'll go home and rest at night. Then I'll go pay homage to grandpa the next morning, and then we'll go there again. Work." Chen Suiyu has already made arrangements.
Shengsheng nodded obediently. At this time, she naturally held Chen Suiyu's wrist, and in an instant, the two of them disappeared.
Chen Suiyu was walking normally, but at a very fast speed, so fast that even the shadows of the surrounding trees flashed past, but suddenly, Shengsheng's pace slowed down.
Chen Suiyu was a little confused and asked, "What's wrong, Shengsheng?"
Shengsheng stopped where he was, looked in another direction, and said, "Yes. Ghost."
Chen Suiyu was stunned, subconsciously startled, and then realized that he was so panicked, wasn't he the one who caught ghosts?
So, he looked towards where Shengsheng was, and saw a red will-o'-the-wisp hanging not far away, illuminating the surroundings somewhat strangely.
In the middle of the will-o'-the-wisp, there is a man and woman wearing Chinese wedding clothes standing. They are husband and wife at first glance. They are very quiet, and their eyes seem to be looking into the distance. Both the man and the woman are pale, with a smile on their faces. The makeup is weird and a bit coquettish.
They seemed to see Chen Suigu, grinning and looking atWaving here, this scene in the middle of the night makes people's backs stand on end. Even if Chen Suiyu is not scared, this scene still makes people feel hairy.
"A newlywed couple appeared here with great grievances. They were the newlyweds who died on their wedding day, so they delayed reincarnation. Are their graves nearby?" Chen Suiyu asked Sheng Sheng, because it is far away, it is not clear whether there is a grave nearby.
But Shengsheng can see far away, so she can clearly see that there is a grave around the newlyweds.
"It should be a new grave. Normally, weeds grow on small graves of some years. The soil has not been turned over for a long time, so it can be determined that it is a new person who has just died." Shengsheng said .
Chen Suigu understood clearly, that’s right, the newcomer who had just died had a lot of resentment and did not enter reincarnation after death, but was still lingering in the same place.
"Dad, do we want to go over and have a look?" Shengsheng asked.
Chen Suiyu thought for a moment, then shook his head. He didn’t have time to deal with such trivial matters now. Besides, there were many ghosts in the mountains. Many of them were just wandering around and could not cause harm to people. He had to do it now. Handle your own affairs, after all, you will do business when you come back.

"No, let's go back. Although this ghost is full of resentment, it is just staying at their graves. Let's wait until we are done."
Chen Suiyu finished. , there is still some hesitation in my heart, but when I think that if I delay it any longer, if the mountain god comes again and still doesn't solve it, wouldn't my life be over?
Shengsheng nodded and said: "That's right. It's normal for there to be ghosts wandering in the mountains. It's okay to come over and pray for them after we're done."
After Shengsheng finished speaking, he continued. She took his hand and walked forward.
It’s not far back to Chenjiacun, but it happened in the blink of an eye. When Chen Suiyu arrived at home, he turned on the light switch and saw that the house was declining rapidly because no one lived in it. He was stunned for a moment and his nose suddenly felt sore.
"My grandfather used to draw talismans on this small table." Chen Suiyu pointed to the wooden table in front of him, which looked like it had been there for many years.
Shengsheng felt that her father was depressed, and then she held his arm and said with a smile: "Dad is not sad, there is Shengsheng."
Chen Suiyu turned his head, Looking into her clear and clean eyes, he reached out and rubbed her hair.
"I have always known that people will die, but it is always difficult to accept it when this happens to me. My grandfather is still alive in my memory, but the fact is that he turned into a piece of mud. It’s like Ba Tu has never been here. In the future, many people will forget him.”
“Sometimes I always think about how people are born with nothing and die with nothing. It doesn't make much sense."
It was rare for Chen Suiyu to be sentimental. If he hadn't come back to do business this time, he might not have done it.He wanted to go home, not that he didn't want to come and worship, but that he always felt heavier when he came back, and he didn't like this feeling.
…
On the second day, at dawn, Chen Suigu brought tributes, incense candles and paper money to his grandfather’s grave.
There was almost no one along the way, but some villagers who had come out to farm earlier saw him. They looked like they had seen a ghost, and they were so frightened that they stood still and didn't move.
When Chen Suigu came to the grave, he patiently placed all the tributes. The tributes were not the conventional big fruit roosters.
It was the roast duck he brought back from Kyoto, which was specially vacuum-packed. He also bought fried chicken and cola burgers from the county town, and two cups of milk tea. They were put in the refrigerator last night and are not available today. The taste has changed, but you can still eat it.
"Grandpa, long time no see. I'm going to open some meat for you today. You always try these. People in the city like to eat them. You haven't eaten them yet. Don't be angry. It's okay if you are angry. Tumeng Come and see me."
Chen Suigu sat on the floor and poured wine while talking.
Shengsheng stood quietly not far away, blowing the cool morning breeze. Although it was a hot summer day, it was still very cool in the mountains.
Chen Suiyu did not speak in front of the grave, and quietly watched the incense burn out. After about half an hour, he got up and packed away all the tributes.
"Daddy." Shengsheng's voice came from the side.
She looked at the tribute eagerly and swallowed, "Grandpa has finished eating, can shengsheng be eaten?"
Chen Suiyu was amused when she saw that the child was greedy. Picking up a cup of milk tea, he handed it over and said with a smile: "Eat it."
"Our customs are different here. You can take the tribute home and eat it after the sacrifice. After grandpa has finished, we pack it and go back to eat. ." Chen Suiyu smiled.
