Chapter 3: What happened to Zhang Tieta and his wife
And Zhang Tieta's experience is even more thrilling than what happened to his youngest son.
When he went, he trekked all the way through the mountains and rivers, cautious, and did not encounter any thrills, thinking that Zhang Gong had also learned to play tricks, where did the ghost come from? But then I thought about it, Zhang Gong met in the mass graveyard of his farmland, and if he didn't meet it on the mountain, it doesn't mean that he is fine. Even though I still think so, my mood is relaxed. When he arrived in the neighboring village, his father-in-law's family had already sharpened their knives and boiled water, and they were waiting for him to slaughter the pigs. After a busy day, I stayed at my father-in-law's house for a night, because of the haunting of the village, my heart was not steady, and the next morning, I said goodbye to my father-in-law's family and went out with my wife. Along the way, in order to make Yangmei mentally prepared, she told the haunted things in the village. Yang Mei sighed and smiled, "One of my sisters is very good at catching ghosts." Climbing the mountain road to the top of the mountain, she panted: "Tower, rest your feet, you can't walk." ”
"Oh, let's take a break. Zhang Tieta agreed, swept around with cold eyes, and sat down on a rectangular mountain rock. Sweaty and sweaty, Yangmei took off her coat.
For the peculiarity of this mountain, because the wife is married to a neighbor, she has to go to more than ten or twenty times a year, and she is used to walking and walking, and can save some ticket costs, so she goes back and forth here, so Zhang Tieta knows better than anyone in the village, as early as 20 years ago, this mountain seems to be cursed, almost no grass grows, and the locals call it "Bald Mountain". Later, for some reason, all kinds of trees, firewood, grass and thorns grew wildly on this mountain, and people began to think that the name was wrong, and changed the name to "Green Mountain", which means that the mountain forest is lush and lush. Later, the mountains were overgrown with weeds, snakes were common among the bushes, and villagers who went up the mountain to cut firewood or other things generally interspersed on the top of the mountain, and did not dare to stay. He remembered that the year his eldest son was born, it was a weekend, and there was a sudden rumbling sound from the top of the mountain, and every weekend since, the sound has been incessant. At first, the villagers were suspicious and went up the mountain in groups to inspect, but they did not see anything unusual.
"Tower, the village is haunted, what do you say is going on?" Yang Mei asked suddenly. Zhang Tieta turned around and said to his wife seriously and seriously: "It's hard to say about this, I understand Zhang Gong, I shouldn't be messing around, and this matter is not child's play." But I haven't hit any since I've been out. ”
"How can the trick of withdrawing Dan bind the power of my Lord Jesus!" Yang Mei sneered, "What kind of little ghosts are coming out to make trouble, I will invite some brothers and sisters to come over tomorrow!"
Zhang Tie glanced at his wife, who had been married for many years, and it was still difficult for him to get used to Yangmei's tone of absolute faith. Turning his head to look up at the main mountain, he thought to himself that Mei was against superstition, and if I continued to talk to her solemnly, I would inevitably quarrel with her. Thinking of this, he tried to adjust his emotions, changed his expression, and said softly and with a smile: "What's the matter! It's not that this kid Zhang Gong uses his audacity to make up stories to bluff others. He raised his wrist and looked at the time, and after a quarter of nine o'clock, he said to his wife, "Let's go, it's almost lunch." Yang Mei's face was obviously clear, and she sighed, put on her coat, and stood up. Brushing a few hairs in front of him, he pointed to the eight strange caves on the main peak: "Tower, have you been married for twenty-one years? I don't know how many pairs of shoes have been worn out on this road! But what is the inside of the holes on this peak?" grinned a little shyly, "It's so high, of course you can't go up." ”
Zhang Tieta was puzzled, what happened to Mei today, in the twenty-one years of marriage, for the first time I heard her say something that had nothing to do with firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and my heart swelled with sweet warmth. "yes, I haven't taken you anywhere in all these years. How about going to the foot of the giant peak?"
Yang Mei pursed her lips and smiled, and glanced at her husband: "Old husband and wife, say these words, meaty!Go ahead, if it's a good place, bring Yangyang and Ming'er to play next time." ”
The mountain trail is complicated. In fact, it's already hard to find a route. So Zhang Tieta decided not to follow the route and took the method of walking in a straight line to reach the destination. To prevent it from stray from the direction of the trip, he took off his shirt, climbed a pine tree, and hung it from the treetops.
The couple turned back as they walked. Walking in a straight line in the mountains is undoubtedly full of thorns and obstacles. Zhang Tieta waved the steel knife and removed the firewood and grass, until he was so tired that he was sweating profusely. Yangmei suddenly exclaimed. Zhang Tieta was nervous for a while, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter!" Yang Mei's feet trembled slightly, her face turned white, she pointed to the front, her mouth was open, and she couldn't speak. Zhang Tieta looked in the direction and couldn't help but be frightened: in the firewood bushes about two meters in front, a group of countless five-step snakes were entrenched, and there was a head that seemed to be a human in the group of snakes, and maggots wriggled ······ Slowly, but fast, he turned around and picked up his trembling, weak, and ownerless wife, and the steel knife fell on the hill with a clatter······
Panting and standing still on the same road, husband and wife, you look at me, I look at you—your clothes and pants are torn, and your face, body, hands, and legs are scarred by thorns.
The couple was in shock. Zhang Tieta was about to go up the tree to retrieve his shirt and hurry down the mountain. At that moment, the whole mountain shook between the whiskers, and a rumbling sound was heard under the feet...... Yang Mei was frightened, and exclaimed again: "Ah, lord!" and sat down on the hill. Zhang Tieta didn't care about being scared at this time, and a kind of courage to protect his wife's safety suddenly appeared, picked up his wife, ran down the mountain with his feet in the wind.
Just after he sweated profusely and carried his wife into the village, he saw a group of villagers surrounding his door, and there was a chaotic sound from the house...... Seeing his son huddled in a corner of the room, after learning the inside story, he was shocked, scared and smiled bitterly.
