Song Jie and Mother-in-law briefly greeted her. Mother-in-law Yan slowly walked past Tian Zhu, Song Jie pulled my sleeve and said, "Let's go slowly, don't go with her!"

I asked, "Why?"

"You listen to me." Song Jie didn't explain much.

Granny Yan moved too slowly, so in order not to walk in front of her, Song Jie took us around.

We came to a hill, from which we could overlook the whole village. The ancient buildings were very pleasing. There was a big banyan tree in the center of the village, the leaves covered the sky, and some colored cloths were tied on it. "My mother said that the case you are investigating is in that banyan tree."

"The case is in a tree?" I asked in amazement.

"That's what she said, I don't know very well, but this tree is a **** tree in the village. It's best not to let people see it when you investigate, especially the old lady just now!" Song Jie warned.

When Granny Yan entered a family, we slipped into the middle of the village. It was foggy in the morning, so I didn't worry about being seen. I made a circle around this tree, and Song Jie was sitting on a large millstone next to it, eating wild fruits picked on the road.

My name was Song Xingchen, and he slowly tapped the tree with a scabbard. Then I put my ears on the trunk to listen. I changed the angle and heard some foreign objects in the tree. Sound travels at different speeds in different objects, and the shapes of those foreign objects are like ... a corpse.

I called immediately: "There is a corpse inside!"

Song Jie was startled and said, "So powerful, can you hear it with your ears? Are you a dolphin?"

I said, "Listening to the sound is the basic skill of Wen Song."

Song Jie praised: "It's too strong! If I have this kind of listening skills, I can cheat on the exam, hee hee!"

I laughed bitterly, I have never done anything like this.

But how does this skeleton come out? The banyan tree is a tree with extremely tenacious vitality. Even if a hanging branch sticks into the ground, it will slowly grow into a tree. In Southeast Asia, some temples are often surrounded by banyan trees.

Since this tree is a sacred tree in the village, if it is sawn, it will definitely cause anger. If I pass the test of the Song family, I must abide by the rules here.

Looking at the trunk for a long time, I frowned, "I need a sharp thorn!"

Song Xingchen asked, "Can my sword work?"

"Is your knife fireproof?" I asked.

"Yes!" Song Xingchen nodded.

But we didn't have a lighter on us, so we had to go back first. At this time, there was a loud noise in the village. I saw a group of people coming out. Everyone was wearing a white belt. Some female dependents were crying. Speech: "The soul returns! Return to the former residence; the world is everywhere, many thieves are treacherous!" It seems to be the passage in "Chu Ci · Soul Hunting".

I whispered to Song Jie: "Is this an outbreak in the village?"

"No!" Song Jie said with a smile on her face. "This is called bone burial. You haven't heard of it in the city. Let's go and see the fun!"

We followed the team to a large mess of graves outside the village, and saw two strong men coming out of the team and plan a grave. Granny Yan knelt down, chanting the requiem, and took out the bones inside with a bamboo clip, put it on a mat, washed it with shochu, and picked it into a jar.

It turns out that the local folk customs, after three years of death, the bones need to be taken out for another burial.

The ceremony was not over yet. Granny Yan took the jar to another grave and took out a second pair of bones. Put the two bones in a jar, then kill a big rooster, pour chicken blood on the jar, seal it with a red cloth, and hand it to the family solemnly.

Song Jie whispered to me that this bone-receiving funeral and the marriage with the underworld were done together. The deceased was a young man and woman. They were not lovers during their lifetime. According to local folk customs, those who were not married were considered child funerals. Therefore, the two talents discussed to hold this underworld marriage, so that the souls of the pair of men and women have a companion under Huang Quan.

Song Jie said quietly: "If the new couple is reborn, they will probably become a pair of brothers and sisters, do you think, Song Yang brother?"

I nodded: "Maybe!"

Song Jie's face was red: "Don't get me wrong, I just said it casually."

I don't know why she reacted so much, and I didn't get it wrong.

I asked Song Jie if there was a village chief in this group? Song Jie pointed out an old man, and when the ceremony was over, I used to say, "Hello village head, I am a relative of the Song family, and I want to ask you something."

The village chief wondered: "Who are your relatives?"

I forgot that there was more than one Song family here. Song Jie took my arm and said, "Song Bo, he is my cousin from the city. He is a famous detective outside. He knows a lot of police and officials!"

The village chief immediately respected him: "Oh, I heard He Ting mentioned you, are you Song Zhaolin's grandson?"

I replied, "Yes!"

The village chief laughed: "In fact, we are the same ancestors. The surname of Song in this village is all related, so let's talk about anything."

I asked now: "Did anyone disappear in the village in the past ten years?"

The village chief frowned. "Ten years? The scope is too big, I don't remember it clearly."

"Then do you have household registration files for all the villagers?" I continued to ask.

"Yes, you can come and check." The village chief agreed.

"Then I'll visit again tonight!" I hugged my fist with a smile.

Song Jie pouted beside: "People want to sleep at night, this is a rural place, unlike your nightlife or something in your city, or tomorrow! Song Bo, we will come to you tomorrow morning."

The village chief said, "Okay, you can come here at noon, and I will let my family make a meal for you."

I thought that the pace of life in the countryside was too slow. It would take a day for this matter, but I had no choice but to live in the countryside.

Song Jiela's arm said, "Song Yang cousin, it's still early, let's go to the gun building!"

I wondered for a while: "What kind of cellar?"

Song Jie's cheeks reddened again: "I used to deal with the bandits who used to be bandits. I used to go there with my cousin Song Xingchen, and there is a clay gun on it!"

We went to the gun turret from the path on the hill. In fact, it is two small buildings made of earthen bricks. There is a winding river in front. The water is clear, and you can see the small fishes playing and chasing each other.

Song Xingchen and I stood by the river and sighed, "The air here is so good, it's just natural oxygen."

Song Xingchen turned around suddenly. It turned out that Song Jie was going to attack him from behind, trying to kick him into the river. Song Xingchen cursed, "How old are you?"

Song Jie made a face and suddenly pushed Song Xingchen with her hand. Song Xingchen took a few steps backwards and jumped over from the river. Song Jieyang threw out a few small stones and shouted, "Be careful of hidden weapon!"

The stone splashed a splash of water, and Song Xingchen waved the knife, and even scattered all the water splashes, and did not get a drop on his clothes.

The two just started arguing on both sides of the river. I was far away, afraid of being injured by mistake. I didn't expect Song Xingchen to have such a side. He and Song Jie probably grew up together from a young age, just like a childhood friend.
