Chapter 8, Conspiracy

The yellow paper figure began to struggle in the palm of my uncle's hand

What nonsense is this, isn't it going to cost you your life? You place the oil lamp under the bed, who do you think you are worshipping at night?

My parents, however, wore worried expressions and seemed somewhat uneasy

We walked towards Duan Gong's home, and it was not difficult to find it, as there was only this one Duan Gong in the ten miles and eight villages

Cousin's remarkable skills truly left me feeling shocked and surprised. When I was with him at the slaughterhouse, he often liked to boast during his free time, and at that time, I really thought that what he said was all false.

My parents are also evasive and simply cannot provide an answer

Surely my uncle and the others would not harm me, would they

I find it somewhat unusual to hear him speak this way, after all, my uncle used to effortlessly tell risqué jokes and the like

Why bother asking what this nonsense is about?

Upon hearing this, Uncle Biao began to curse: "Damn it, it must definitely be that worthless Duan Gong."

I followed my cousin outside, who was holding a flashlight in his hand

Uncle suddenly stopped my parents

"No way, this is what Master Duan said, Master Duan would never harm Xiao Yang." My father couldn't help but start to refute upon seeing this

Grandfather is already dead, it is absolutely impossible

If it were not for my uncle's timely appearance tonight, the consequences would have been unimaginable; I would have had a 90% chance of not surviving

We walked briskly, and after about half an hour, we arrived at Duan Gong's home. However, what I did not expect was that upon arrival, we encountered something even more chilling.

Uncle Pig has killed many, and there is an invisible aura of ferocity about him. Generally, when ordinary people see Uncle Pig angry, they are indeed quite frightened.

Just now, because my parents were present, there were some things I did not ask out loud. Over the years, I have been away from home working in pig farming, and I have actually learned one thing: for many matters, it is best to report only good news to my family and not the bad, to avoid causing them worry

Cousin and cousin-in-law, you wait at home, and Xiao Yang and I will come over.

It is impossible; I quickly shook my head in denial upon thinking of this matter

Uncle Biao asked me with a fierce expression

My father spoke in confusion. My mother also wore a face full of doubt

The table and Uncle Book did not delay this time; they immediately took action and crushed the yellow paper figure in their hands.

Therefore, my uncle will definitely not harm me

Uncle Biao opened his mouth and asked, "Who asked you to order this?"

Uncle Biao spoke softly, then immediately walked outside, wielding a butcher's knife in his hand, looking quite fierce

However, I have long since become accustomed to it

I nodded and said yes

And I soon saw the small yellow paper figure in my uncle's hand, which suddenly moved a little

Think carefully about who is closest to you today, as they have the opportunity to stick this paper figure onto you. If I am not mistaken, this yellow paper figure has been cursed by someone; otherwise, it would not have acted against you in the middle of the night

Uncle Biao, with quick eyes and swift hands, promptly grasped the yellow paper figure that was moving in his hand tightly.

Uncle explained

However, my uncle still protected me with all his strength

My parents immediately turned pale upon hearing this, "What do we do now, old buddy?"

It now appears that what Uncle Biao said back then may not have all been false

The flesh on Uncle Biao's face was filled with anger

Grandfather placed a talisman on me

When my parents saw this scene, they were immediately frightened, their faces turning pale, and they instinctively took a few steps back

After consuming two cups of wine, one begins to speak nonsense

Uncle Biao spoke in a fierce manner

I quickly replied to my uncle, saying: "It is Duan Gong. Duan Gong said that as long as the oil lamp does not extinguish tonight, I will be able to live."

At this thought, I suddenly paused for a few seconds. Could it be my grandfather? At that time, I was carrying my grandfather to his burial.

Cousin, what on earth is going on?

Uncle Bu strides forward, and I follow closely behind. My mind recalls that the people who have come into contact with me, apart from my parents, are my eldest uncle, second uncle, and third uncle, as well as their families.

I simply do not know the answer to this question that my uncle asked me; I have no understanding of these mysterious matters

I believe what he said makes sense

I followed behind my uncle, and my parents quickly caught up.

When my mother stepped back, she did not forget to pull me along

Uncle Biao is speaking very seriously at this moment

Cousin, are you really confused or just pretending to be confused? Why is it that you don't understand anything?

Uncle walked into my bedroom, his gaze began to wander. After wandering, he looked towards my bed and soon spotted the oil lamp beneath it.

Cousin spoke as he walked to the front of my bed, directly flipping over the bed board, and then extinguished the oil lamp. To be honest, if it weren't for Cousin arriving in time today, I might have really lost my life

These oil lamps are lit at night to honor the spirits, and some wandering souls may also be attracted to these oil lamps. The heavy yin energy in the house is also a reason for attracting some wandering souls.

Uncle Biao had no choice but to say: "With too many people, it will be easy to alert the snake by stirring the grass at that time"

Along with me, that gentleman does not seem like a bad person either, especially since he was invited by my uncle, who has always treated me well, even though this time my second and third uncles have blamed my grandfather's death on me

Moreover, my salary remained unchanged, and during the holiday, I was given a pig's head to bring back.

I am completely confident about this matter

Then you all be careful

Upon hearing this, Uncle Biao said: "Rest assured, Xiao Yang has never been treated poorly while following me. Xiao Yang, do you agree?"

Cousin, cousin-in-law, you can rest assured that I will not neglect Xiao Yang's matters. I am eager to see who dares to bully my nephew.

As my uncle spoke, an image involuntarily surfaced in my mind, that of someone previously choking me by the neck

The other one is Duan Gong

"Cousin, how could Master Duan possibly want to harm Xiao Yang?"

After the exclusions, only Duan Gong remained. I quickly summarized the situation.

Uncle, what exactly is the matter with that yellow little paper figure

Uncle's expression was gloomy and very serious

As I reflect on it now, I cannot help but feel a surge of fear in my heart

My parents took us to the door

After following my uncle, he taught me the skill of slaughtering pigs, as well as some other abilities.

"If I don't come today, Xiao Yang, you might be in trouble. Uncle will definitely avenge you."

This statement from my cousin finally allowed my parents to stay at home, but when my cousin and I left, my parents still earnestly urged him to make sure to take good care of me

It is very likely that someone has stuck something on your back. I do not want your parents to come along because I am also afraid that their concern will lead to confusion later.

Uncle looked grim and said: "Someone wants this little thing to harm Xiao Yang"
