After hearing Ouyang Xuanzi say that, the man opposite got anxious, walked back and forth a few times, and stopped to ask Ouyang Xuanzi: "Then I will never see my parents in my life, so I can't go back?"

"That's true. This matter cannot be explained clearly in just one sentence. Think about it, I will come here to find you tomorrow. At that time, you still want to go back to the ancestral grave. Let's talk about this matter. I still have something to do today, so you can go back first."

"Did you come for the old couple of the Shen family?" The man suddenly said, Ouyang Xuanzi looked at him for a while and said, "Have you seen them?"

"I have seen it, but it's when they are alive." The man said.

"When you are alive?" Ouyang Xuanzi also had something she didn't know, for example, at this time.

The man nodded and said, "I remember one night ago, I heard someone going up the mountain, so I came out of the grave for some time and saw who was thrown here. As a result, when I came out, I saw the old couple from the Shen family. I became surprised. What are the old couples doing so late? This is a mass grave. Who would come up?

I followed them for a while and found that they were all carrying tools, one with a bag and one with a stool, and walked to the east of the mass grave. The old man started digging the pit. The old lady stood aside and watched. I didn't hear what she said clearly. Soon, a human skull was thrown out of the soil. Then I saw the old lady cover the human skull with a cloth bag, turned it over and put it in the bag, and then left.

I watched from a distance. After the old couple left, a blue ghost carried a head in his hand and followed the old couple.

I originally planned to go and see, but a few people in the mass grave usually pulled me and told me not to meddle in other people's business. I said I couldn't control this matter, so I pulled me back.

From that day on, I didn’t see the old couple in the Shen family.”

After the man said that, I glanced at Ouyang Xuanzi. So, the old couple of the Shen family buried the head of that year on the mass grave.

But after many years, why did the old couple get the head away again?

The moon is dark and the wind is high. The old couple don’t sleep at night and come to the mass grave to get rid of the human skull. Did they hit evil or possessed by ghosts?

"Does that ghost holding a human head have a head?" I asked, thinking that the ghost at Shen Qingqing's doorstep had no head, something was going on in his mind.

The man shook his head: "There is a headless ghost."

"That's right." I looked at the man and said, and the man asked me, "What's right?"

"It's nothing, I'll just say it casually, don't worry about me. Have you ever seen that headless ghost?" I asked again.

The man thought for a while and said, "I haven't been here."

"So strange." I said, Ouyang Xuanzi said, "It's not strange. Once a ghost leaves a certain place, he may never come back. If he comes back, he will regard this place as a place to live."

"What about now, how do you go and find it?" I asked Ouyang Xuanzi, and Ouyang Xuanzi said, "Go back first, there is something to do tonight, so you can go back too, I will definitely come tomorrow."

"Don't forget, I'll go back first."

"Wait a minute, leave your name." I said, and the man turned around and said, "My name is Shen Tianbao, my eldest brother Shen Tianhua."

"I understand." I agreed, and the man turned around and left. Seeing the man leave, Ouyang Xuanzi and I were also busy going back to the village chief's house. From a distance, we saw white smoke rising from the door of the village chief's house, and brightly lit inside.

Some people at the door were doing something one after another, and I asked Ouyang Xuanzi: "What are those people doing?"

"This is a local custom, commonly known as libation, which is a ritual of sacrifice. Sprinkle the wine on the ground to express nostalgia for ancestors. The people who pay tribute must be at home, have some status in society and are more moderate and of high-quality people. The time is at night. The people who pay tribute are descendants. During the tribute, there must be an Eight Immortals table, set up a spiritual shed with the gate facing south, and the mourning shed is set up at the door facing south. The table is filled with incense pavilions, a wax table, an incense burner, a top eight plate eight fruits, chicken, fish, chopsticks and wine glasses, and children, men and women, potted flowers, snow willows, etc. on both sides of the mourning shed. The wine libation process also varies from place to place, but you must kneel down and raise the wine glass with your eyebrows, point three points from left to right, three times in a row, and kowtow three times in a row.

"It sounds very troublesome." I said, and Ouyang Xuanzi said: "What I said is only part of it, and there are many things I didn't say, which is really cumbersome."

Ouyang Xuanzi said, as we had already walked to the door, and were doing what Ouyang Xuanzi said. He saw only one person venting wine, and two children were kneeling on the other side pouring wine. There were also village chiefs and others inside. They kowtowed when the other party bowed, which was very troublesome.

It took more than ten minutes to come down alone. I thought to myself that there were not many descendants. If there were too many, it would seem like the emperors of ancient times, and it would take several days to finish.

There were many people watching the fun at the door. Ouyang Xuanzi and I couldn't get in, so we went to wait. There was also the sound of trumpet blowing inside, which was also very noisy.

Ouyang Xuanzi took a steamed bun from her arms for me. When I saw that the steamed bun was indeed hungry, I took it over and started eating it. Ouyang Xuanzi also started eating it, but seeing how elegant he ate it, I thought I was too ugly.

After eating steamed buns, the people outside dispersed. We walked in at the door while no one was seeing them. At this time, Shen Qingqing and An Zi were sitting inside. Shen Qingqing looked confused. A good little girl became like this.

Anzi is different, he is always very energetic, maybe he wants to take care of Shen Qingqing.

Seeing Ouyang Xuanzi and Anzi busy getting up and walking, Shen Qingqing was overjoyed and came to us. After stopping, Anzi said, "A strange thing happened during the day. The village chief's wife suddenly started crying and cried for the whole afternoon."

"It's okay, the patriarch is dead. She won't wear mourning clothes, so let's pick on it." Ouyang Xuanzi said as if it was true. After saying that, he also glanced at the village chief's wife who was having a headache in the room.

"We're going to have a rest tonight. If you have anything, you can tell us." Ouyang Xuanzi walked to the side, sat down and patted the place beside him, signaled me to go over, and I walked over, sat down and leaned in Ouyang Xuanzi's arms.

He patted me and took a nap.

When I woke up, I saw the patriarch at the door of the village chief’s house. He stood at the door, looking at the spirit shed with his eyes.

This time the village chief stood up and walked to the door. As a result, the village chief asked, "Are you my grandfather?"

The patriarch did not answer, but heard the village chief say, "When I was a child, you carried me on my back. Grandpa, I will carry you back."

After saying that, the village chief turned around and he was about forty years old, and he didn't look like he was young when he squatted on the ground.

The patriarch at the door lowered his head and lay on the village chief.

The village chief held the patriarch's hands and dragged it into the yard. It looked very heavy, especially the patriarch's feet wearing old shoes, and shuffled the ground and saw that two ditches could come out. The village chief was so tired that he was panting.

While walking on the back of the patriarch, the village chief said, "When I was a child, my grandfather was sweating so much. I didn't expect to be so tired. Grandpa, I'm not tired if I carry you."

I looked at the village chief and couldn't help but shake my head, look at this grandson, how filial.

Grandpa has become a ghost, so he is not afraid. If it were someone else who would have run away long ago, so he would have been scared to death.

The village chief finally carried the patriarch into the spirit shed and put it down. The village chief said, "Grandpa, go back. Your grandson-in-law is in poor health. You have to make trouble, toss me."

The patriarch stood there without moving. He looked around, looked at me, and looked for a while.

I asked Ouyang Xuanzi strangely: "Isn't this patriarch blind?"

"A man is blind when he lives, but he can see it after he dies."

"So that's it. I said why do I think he can see me?" When I spoke, the patriarch looked at the village chief, smiled, and got into the coffin.

The village chief suddenly started to cry, as if he could no longer see his grandfather. He was still very sad when he cried. When I saw the village chief crying, I woke up in a daze.

When I woke up, I saw the village chief leaning on the coffin and crying. In fact, the village chief was dreaming, and this happened in the dream, so he was crying in the dream.

When the village chief's family saw that the village chief was crying, it was probably because of the daytime incident. They were busy coming out to call the village chief. The village chief didn't wake up no matter how he cried, and leaned against the coffin and cried loudly.

It was pitiful to see the village chief crying and unable to wake up, so I said to Ouyang Xuanzi: "Don't look at him, please wake him up."

Ouyang Xuanzi then stood up and walked to the village chief and asked someone to bring out a bowl of water. She put her hand inside and flicked some water on the village chief's face. The village chief woke up as if I was so excited. He opened his eyes and cried even harder. A big man cried in the coffin and whimpered, calling grandpa. He cried sadly, and I felt a little sad when I saw it.

When I thought of my master’s death, I wanted to cry, but I couldn’t cry.

With a sigh, I went elsewhere, watching the village chief crying, it made me sad. This village chief is really...

As I was watching, Ouyang Xuanzi came over and hugged me in her arms: "Did Hong'er remember the sad things?"

I shook my head: "It's not a sad thing, it's over."

I said and pushed Ouyang Xuanzi away, we looked at each other, and I said, "That's all tonight?"

"That's what happened to the village chief's house tonight." Ouyang Xuanzi's words had other meanings. I looked at Shen Qingqing and An Zi opposite. They were all looking at the village chief and didn't pay attention to us.

But at this moment, I looked at the gate. There was a small child standing at the gate. I saw that the child looked familiar and seemed to have seen it somewhere. But subconsciously, I remembered the headless ghost, so I took a closer look, and it turned out that it was a headless ghost.

The headless ghost stood at the door and looked at the yard. Its head was in its hands and its body was stiff, but the head in its hands was not stiff. I looked at the headless ghost's head, and the eyes of the headless ghost were looking for something, and after searching for a while, it showed a strange smile.
