surname teacher

Chapter 159

Above the layers of mountains, the red moon hangs in the center of the sky as usual. After dinner, Fan Abao went out of the village to have a frenzy with the children. He is lying next to the old house, as usual. Fell asleep.

In the evening, after Jin Suoyang came back from the mountain, he never went out again. During this period, Fan Xi knocked on the door a few times to ask him if he needed to save some dinner for him, but he gave him a direct answer. Refused.

But at this moment, the seven identical dolls cut out from the edges were placed flat on the table in the old room, and the white-haired and handsome young man who chose to stay alone at night was sitting at the table, frowning and kneading motionlessly. Start looking at those dolls.

The pair of thin-sheet glasses on the bridge of his nose were accidentally broken when he fell down the mountain. Because the left half of the frame and the lens have been completely broken and damaged, only the other half can be repaired and used normally.

In order to be able to read and write normally under the weak indoor light at night, Jin Suoyang can only use adhesive tape to wrap half of the temple of the glasses to support the lens, and put the other half The spectacle frames glowing with cool tones were reluctantly used on his cold and serious face, which was also expressionless.

He was so engrossed and focused that he didn't even notice for a moment that the clay doll without facial features had crept up to the corner of the table, squatting next to the spread family book and those paper figurines, worried. He poked the back of his pale hand and asked again.

[The surname is teacher, the surname is teacher, when are you going to sleep? 】

Hearing the voice of the clay doll asking himself with concern, Jin Suo raised his eyes and managed to recover, then remained expressionless for a while, then shook his head and moved his eyes away from looking at it, and then Frowning in a voice that shouldn't disturb the rest of the Fan family, he said slowly,

"I'll be sleeping in a while."

【But... but you haven't had dinner yet... Also, how long will it be after a while...】

"I'm not hungry, if you feel sleepy, go to bed first."

【Oh, well... the clay doll doesn't talk... the clay doll sleeps first...】

After being forcibly interrupted, I could only keep some words in my mouth. After thinking about it, I finally swallowed it quietly. I squatted on the spot and looked at my fingers, but felt that I couldn’t help the clay doll. Some helpless.

But knowing that he must still be worrying about those troublesome things during the day, the clay doll, which scratched its head for a while, could only nod obediently, and then swayed and crawled into the bed beside it to sleep.

When the clay doll finally walked away obediently, he continued to maintain the state just now and sat at the table in a daze for a while, then looked up at Jin Suoyang, who was looking at the moon outside the window through the monocle on his nose. Only then silently watched those rooster paper dolls move their fingers that were already tending to become stiff and cold.

At the same time, he gradually turned from the initial agitation to cooling down and calming down, and some fragmented clues also flooded up in his heart.

Elderly, married couple, male, three minors.

Seven plays, seven shadows, seven dead, and one unsolvable puzzle about the red moon and two Dongshans.

Scattered in the county town one after another, the black shadows tied by hands, feet and necks appeared in front of his eyes twisted and wildly. In the next second, the transparent ropes that could not be broken off under the naked eye turned into strange ones. The shadow gradually disappeared between the young man's fingers in the blink of an eye.

When his eyes fell on a certain page of the densely-packed surname book that was pressed by his fingers, he was also a little upset after looking at it for a long time and finding out how to solve the problem of the seven dead people whose shadows were controlled After a while, Jin Suoyang pushed away the surname book in front of him, leaned back on the chair with his eyes closed, and began to think deeply.

When going down the mountain during the day, Rooster Lang not only successfully took away the suspected Mr. Shen's shadow from the old birthday banquet before him, but also directly killed the local old birthday person who was completely innocent and victimized.

When the corpse hanging from the beam was found, its hands and feet were completely rigid, but no one at the scene saw that it was the murderer who took the opportunity to escape.

Later, when he recalled the strange woman he met on the road before and realized that something was wrong, and hurried to the health center in the county town, the local middle-aged woman who was possessed by the evil spirit in the market also followed her inexplicably. They all disappeared into the ward, and the rest of the shadows who escaped from the Sichuan Opera Troupe were also collectively missing.

However, judging from the fact that the damage at the scene was extremely serious and there was basically no obvious evidence left, Jin Suoyang, who happened to arrive at the scene a step too late, could not judge at all that the woman who was suspected of being possessed took the initiative to do so under certain circumstances. The move of running away, or the rooster man used some method to finally get her away smoothly.

So the white-haired young man who was once again caught in the fog in front of him could no longer deceive himself that there was any surefire way to escape in this hunting game with the rooster man.

At least as far as the current situation is unfavorable to him in all aspects, he has indeed fallen into a certain disadvantage unilaterally.

Coupled with the imminent passing of the Spring Festival of the Year of the Rooster, and the deadline for him to find out the truth in the last two nights, he really can't be sure that the background is a mystery, and there are vaguely some helpers behind the scenes How many innocent people will be hurt by the rooster who is helping him.

Therefore, when he just came back from the county town at the foot of the mountain, Jin Suoyang, who was once alone in a bad mood, seemed to be in a bad mood, and he didn't even want to have more communication with anyone.

But sometimes everything is exactly like this, the more eager you are to immediately find the answer you want in your heart, but you will fall into a short-term thinking dilemma, and you can't see the real doubts about the whole incident.

At this moment, he put his back on the chair with a slightly anxious expression. Because his legs were not healed, Jin Suoyang, who was still unable to stand up easily for the time being, wanted to support the table and leave the table in front of him to lie down on the side of the bed, bowing his head. After struggling to lift his feet, he listened to a string of bells that he had hung under the beams with ropes, and the bells rang again on time just like last time.

In the middle of the night, he would use the unique method of a voice-talking ghost to find him, and he didn't even need to think about who it was.

But he is really not in a good mood at the moment, and he is entangled in all kinds of troubles, so he is inexplicably not in the mood to pick up some ghosts or talk to anyone who is not related.

So after thinking about it, he stared at the swaying voice ghost above his head with a paralyzed face, and he still chose to move his light-colored eyes away and ruthlessly ignored him with a frown.

But I don't know why, even though I have put out my arrogance as a high-ranking young master in a rather 'cold' and 'inhumane' way, I also choose to ignore the voice ghost above my head first, and I don't want to be abused by anyone in any form. bothering.

But after that, Jin Suoyang, who tried his best to concentrate on other things at hand, still felt a little complicated and subtle, and even felt uncomfortable.

And the ghost that was connected to another house by the wall suddenly stopped making a sound after only ringing a few times for a very short time.

Only Jin Suoyang, who had a weird face and even more upset than before, was left blankly standing still, and it took him a long time to sit on the table with his glasses like a clumsy, obtuse and stubborn grown-up rabbit. Sitting side by side, and shaking the rabbit ears on the top of his head with self-doubt.

that's all?Didn't he have something to do with me?Why did it hang up so quickly?

Such doubts filled his heart, which made Jin Suoyang hesitate for a while.

What puzzled him even more was that although his surroundings had quieted down again, a subtle emotion began to spread in his heart.

And for a long time, Jin Suoyang, who turned his eyes back to the voice-transmitting ghost above his head, had a rather strange expression and paused for a while.

【...Do you even know?It's because you are so high up all day long, putting on a self-important look! !It will always look so annoying!Jin Suoyang!Have you ever considered us as your family!A selfish and cruel person like you will always only have yourself in his eyes!You just look down on the rest of us! 】

"..."

[You have been disrespectful since you were a child, and no one in your family is in your eyes except your mother... But now you have offended everyone in the family so ruthlessly, you really feel that you can live a lifetime of nothing. Relying on others, do you just reject everyone's beliefs and live?You have to be forgiving and forgiving, if one day you are in trouble, or you need someone to really help you, but you have no one to rely on, what will you do then...]

It was still those people who were full of malice towards him and those words that he could not understand or understand, but this time Jin Suoyang, who was barely pursing the corners of his lips, was somewhat unable to refute.

And staying in Fan Village these days, I finally feel that I have finally lived a peaceful life for ordinary people for a few days. At this moment, I unconsciously glanced at the voice-talking ghost who had returned to a quiet state. It is strange that the young master Jintu, who is still very out of gregarious, sat speechless for a while and faced the old problem that he did often have problems with emotional intelligence, and he was especially prone to losing friends.

For a long time, just when he himself felt that what he did was actually a bit boring and it was impossible to remedy it, he still frowned very stiffly, but for himself, it was a rare and precious first time to stretch out his hand, and put The voice-talking ghost that he hadn't picked up just now bravely called back.

When he called back, his expression was inexplicably a little unnatural. After all, he was the one who didn't want to talk to anyone just now, but the other side didn't make him wait too long.

In fact, the other party didn't know whether he was waiting or really wanted to know that he was going to call back. He didn't make him wait long and quickly picked up.

But he paused for a while, and felt the subtle feeling that his heart was slightly quiet when the familiar sound source over there approached his ears.

In the next second, Jin Suoyang, who was wearing his clothes and sitting at the table, heard some faint footsteps walking somewhere, and then the same familiar voice sounded slowly.

"You weren't asleep just now?"

"...Well, what's the matter?"

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Jin Suoyang frowned and asked, while the other side went out of the house alone and stood by the fence of Fan Xi's house. Qin Gentiana, whose voice was vaguely hoarse, did not rush to say anything, first stopped and looked up. He squinted his eyes thoughtfully at the small building that he almost left just now, and then calmly looked at the looming figure beside the bed, shaking his head and saying,

"It's nothing."

——I just thought you fell asleep at the table with the light on, and I wanted to wake you up and let you go back to bed.

For the second half of the sentence, Qin Gentian, who was lazily leaning against the cold wall, didn't say it for no reason. After all, in terms of the relationship between the two of them, this kind of words sounded a little too much.

At first, he was just planning to send away the rampant Jieshi, and then went to see Yang Hua downstairs, who was sleeping. Now Qin Gentiana went out alone against the cold wind, and stood under the wall to watch the warm lights on the small building unexpectedly. It's not that he really wants to hang up the voice transmission ghost in his hand, or just give up this opportunity to just vaguely see the other party's every move and go straight home.

After each of them was silent with each other in this strange atmosphere, Qin Gentian, who knew that he must still be thinking about the tricky incident during the day before, recalled the previous conversation with Hengxing Jieshi. Dialogue, and simply stood by the wall, looked up symbolically and asked slowly,

"Speaking of which, do you have any idea about the matter of Ji Lang and the escaped shadow?"

"..."

This point-to-point question finally made Jin Suoyang, who was made a little uncomfortable by the weird atmosphere before, remember the most important thing right now, so he didn't realize that he was being led away by Qin Gentian for a while. He changed the topic, but frowned helplessly, and replied in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

"not yet."

On the way back together in the afternoon, the two of them had already discussed some doubts about the incident during the day. Both of them felt that there must be Jin Suoyang and Qin Gentian who were hiding behind the helper in the matter of Gong Jilang's escape. Returning to the strange massacre case in Shi Musheng's hometown back then, Qin Geng listened to frowning Jin Suoyang over there while slowly sorting out the notes on the table while intermittently talking to him,

"Actually, I now suspect that the village burning case in Xiaozhuang Village is also related to the helper behind Shi Musheng now."

"Oh why?"

"The files of the Fan Village Committee show that he was indeed locked in a chicken coop at the time. Without any help, he would not have been able to complete this matter, and the matter of Shi Shuisheng itself is also a doubtful point, but I am still thinking, those Come and go without a trace, except for the victims, no one can find out where the burners came from, how did they get in touch with Shi Musheng back then, and how did they disappear overnight of."

"Maybe... it came from a place that normal people would subconsciously ignore?"

"Normal people will subconsciously ignore it?"

"For example...in the sky? In the water? Or somewhere relatively far away from the land?"

"..."

When Qin Gentian, who squinted his eyes, said this intentionally with hints, Jin Suoyang, who was stunned, also inexplicably thought of Yang Ji, the fish girl who asked for help from Raksha Haishi in her dream.

Unconsciously recalling the rumors I heard from Yang Ji about the Leopard Man being good at flying, living in the clouds, and killing cannibals, he hesitated for a moment, staring at the eyes in doubt, and vaguely drew it on the paper. Jin Suoyang from the Kingdom of Clouds still suddenly asked Qin Gentian on the other side,

"So you mean, in the past legends, there really was a group of people who lived on the clouds all the time, and had wings and would fly to the human world from time to time?"

"Maybe, but they are all ghost stories to scare children. In fact, no one in later generations has taken them seriously. Of course, this is not spread in Dongshan, but more frequently spread near the Miao people's gathering place. , I only heard that this group of people has been notoriously greedy and cruel since ancient times. They were severely punished by Yang Asha, the goddess of moonlight of the Miao nationality, because they committed a serious crime, and they were driven to live in a cloud floating in the sky. ..."

"..."

"People in the past called them Haishi Miao people. The buildings in Haishi are prosperous and rich, and the buildings on the clouds are beautiful. It is said that their sea masters have countless gold and silver treasures. Even the clothes, shoes and socks on their feet are It is made of the best and most expensive silk gems, but Haishi people are cannibalistic, extremely cruel, and often come to the world to do evil when the moon is at its maximum, and even exploit mortals, killing people and massacring villages. In the cloud, Yang Asha, who was completely disappointed in them, decided to increase the punishment for them year after year, and until today, the sinful Haishi people are still unable to completely escape from the country in the cloud..."

Hearing this, he could vaguely detect that some clues between Gong Jilang and Luocha Haishi began to produce some wonderful connections. Jin Suoyang didn't think about why Qin Gentian suddenly gave up on this matter. With this kind of reminder, I hurriedly asked a sentence.

"In the legends of the Miao people... is there any mention of what felony they committed in the first place before they were punished?"

Hearing this, Qin Gentian, who had been here late at night to imply that he had been waiting for him to ask this question himself for a long time, and Qin Gentian, who had just mentioned this matter with Hengxing Jieshi just now, squinted his eyes and looked at the red hair on top of his head. The moon, dragging its tone again, slowly opened its mouth and said,

"mentioned."

"...what is it?"

"It is said that they were ordered to be punished by Yang Asha because they ate Yang Asha's brother, and there is another saying that Yang Asha is the real incarnation of the legendary moon, and the eaten Yang Asha Asha's brother refers to the shadow on the other side of the moon."

The author has something to say: Yang Asha: Goddess of the Miao nationality, you can still find the famous Miao song of the same name "Yang Asha" on the Internet
