Chapter 20: A Strange Curse
I was supposed to travel and relax on the weekend, why did I encounter this unfortunate thing?
The roast chicken was thrown away, and he had a fight with a crazy woman, so don't attract the police.
But I want him to apologize and can't pull it off.
Alas, beating a woman is a dishonorable thing in the first place, and it would be even more humiliating to be taken to the police station by the police.
Wu Li's friends didn't want to make a big deal and apologized to Wu Qianqian on behalf of Wu Li.
"Everyone should dissipate their anger first, the Buddha can't fight, otherwise it will anger the Buddha, and it will be bad for everyone, it's not right for my buddy to beat people, but it's also this lady who threw his things first and slapped people, everyone has something wrong, each step back and open the sky." ”
The people who watched the excitement around also echoed the voice.
"That's it, what to call the police, the police have to ask one by one when they come, let's go out and burn incense to ask for peace of mind, ask for protection, don't make a big fuss. ”
"Yes, yes, just call the police, take a step back. ”
"This young man threw away the roast chicken, this is a temple, vegetarian! The eldest sister is too, if she has something to say, how can she come up and throw other people's things, slap and bite people. ”
Everyone's gossip is persuasion.
Now everyone doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, and their eyes are focused on Zhu Qianqian.
Zhu Qianqian seemed to have eased from the anger just now, but her eyes were a little confused at this time, and there was a trace of fear in them.
"Qianqian?" Granny Zhang held Zhu Qianqian's shoulders and shook her gently, wanting her to come back to her senses.
"No, no, no, don't kill me, I didn't do anything bad, I want to go home, hurry back, ...... quickly" Zhu Qianqian suddenly spoke incoherently, closed her eyes, and seemed that the things in front of her made her very scared, and her body trembled terribly.
Now the people next to her could be sure that her body was shaking because of fear.
How could a person who was so angry and arrogant just now suddenly become so afraid?
Was she beaten stupid?
Zhu Qianqian's appearance seems to be that she doesn't plan to care.
The crowd of onlookers began to go their separate ways.
Zhu Qianqian was taken back to her room by several resident pilgrims.
After comforting them, they discussed with the temple again, and the meals of several long-term pilgrims were still delivered to their respective rooms according to the previous rules, but the time was much later.
After the weekend, on weekdays, the number of pilgrims decreased significantly.
The lives of several long-term pilgrims have returned to their previous regularity, but Zhu Qianqian's mental state is good and bad.
Every night, Zhu Qianqian's house always makes a creepy shout.
During the day, several resident pilgrims asked Zhu what had happened today?
She replied that she had been sleeping all night and did not remember anything that had happened.
Things are getting a little weird.
Could it be an auditory hallucination?
But not everyone has auditory hallucinations.
Mrs. Wang and Granny Zhang found the abbot of the temple and told them about the strange things that happened at night, although the host believed in Buddhism, he did not believe that the shouting at night was the theory of ghosts and gods.
After comforting a few of the pilgrims, it was decided to strengthen the patrol security of the temple and the backyard rooms.
The people patrolling at night found that the strange shouting was indeed coming from Zhu Qianqian's house.
Several people broke into the door and found Zhu Qianqian walking around the house, talking to herself and in a trance.
Granny Zhang asked worriedly, "Qianqian, what's wrong with you?"
"Someone is trying to harm me. ”
"Who? and where?"
A few people looked around, and there was no shadow of outsiders.
There were also patrols outside the house just now, and there were no strangers.
Is she hallucinating?
Is it the after-effects of last weekend's fight?
Or is it a psychopath?
But I had never heard of Zhu Qianqian having a history of mental illness before.
The temple called Zhu Qianqian's family, and after some communication, her family decided to come over this weekend to pick her up and take her to the hospital for examination.
In the next few days, Zhu Qianqian's situation was good and bad.
During the day, he is like a normal person, but at night he is a little in a trance.
Granny Zhang and Mrs. Wang were a little worried, but although they were worried, Zhu Qianqian had a family, and since her family said that they would pick her up from the doctor on the weekend, they could only wait until the weekend.
It's weekend again.
On Friday night, the number of pilgrims began to skyrocket.
The usually quiet Thousand Buddha Temple is noisy again.
Last weekend's scene was playing out again.
Although the temple has put up a warning sign in the hall prohibiting pilgrims from eating meat here, there are still temporary pilgrims who use it as a place to eat, bringing not only meat, but also wine.
Uncle Li, who has always been kind, also began to go crazy, "Buddhism is pure, how can you tolerate such nonsense!"
Gao Xiaopeng was also in a bad mood, he already had insomnia, and because of Zhu Qianqian's incident last week, he often couldn't sleep well at night.
Now that the number of pilgrims has increased, even eating has become a problem, and I can't help but lose my temper.
Gao Xiaopeng and Uncle Li stepped forward to find someone to theorize.
Granny Zhang and Mrs. Wang stepped forward to help.
After a few words, the two sides argued.
After that, it goes from moving from mouth to hands.
This time, the crowd of onlookers was not like the last time to persuade the fight, but fanned the flames on the side.
In the end, it turned into a group fight.
Fortunately, it was stopped in time by the increased patrol personnel.
Several of the resident pilgrims suffered minor skin injuries, but they were not serious.
One of the pilgrims with wine and meat scolded indignantly: "Recently, I heard that there is a sound of ghosts crying wolves in the backyard of the Thousand Buddha Temple, it is estimated that it is a few ghosts made by a few of you permanent pilgrims. ”
One of the pilgrims chimed in, "Yes, they must be cursed, that's why the longer they stay here, the worse their temper becomes." ”
The abusive words almost caused the two sides to fight again.
The abbot stepped in to calm the turmoil.
That night, there was another strange noise in Zhu Qianqian's house, but everyone didn't care.
Everyone has noticed that they have not been in a good temper lately, is it really cursed as the pilgrim just said?
In the second half of the night, Zhu Qianqian's house was not as good as before, the strange sound was gone, and it was very quiet.
Early morning of the second day.
Granny Zhang was worried about Qianqian's situation, and took the initiative to knock on the door and call her to have breakfast together.
After a few knocks, no one in the house responded.
Haven't you woken up yet?
With the force of the hand, the door was pushed open a gap.
Qianqian didn't lock the door when she slept at night?
Granny Zhang had a sense of foreboding.
Hopefully it's forgetting to lock the door and not a thief sneaking in in the middle of the night.
Dipping his head into the room, there were knocked over objects on the floor.
On the wooden bed next to the window, Zhu Qianqian was lying on it, her clothes disheveled, her hands around her neck.
Oh no!
Granny Zhang rushed open the door and ran to the bed, this time looking carefully.
Zhu Qianqian's eyes were wide open, her hands were pinching her neck, her clothes were disheveled, and her hair was messy.
Judging by his face and expression, he was a dead man.
"Ah...... Dead man......"
Granny Zhang screamed in shock.
The screams quickly drew a crowd of onlookers.
Tourists who came to incense early in the morning, as well as pilgrims who stayed in the guest room last night, came to watch and found that Zhu Qianqian's death was terrifying.
Someone called the police, and there were temple staff who cordoned off the scene.
The crowd of onlookers was full of discussions.
"It's like strangling yourself. ”
"Can a normal person strangle himself?"
"No, so it's not a normal person, is it really the same as the legend, cursed here?"
"A weird curse?"
"Why is this scary? Doesn't it mean that the Thousand Buddha Temple in Thousand Buddha Mountain is very effective? Why is there a strange situation of cursing the dead?"
"I heard that this woman slapped a pilgrim last week and threw away other people's food, such a violent temper, it is estimated that she has done too many bad things before and has suffered retribution. ”
