Chapter 002: Strange Death
I only heard Uncle Tiger say that planting locust trees in front of the door is either raising corpses or ghosts. Uncle, did you plant this locust tree yourself?
After hearing this, Grandpa suddenly changed color, and said no, saying that he grew it by himself after living here.
Uncle Tiger quickly asked Grandpa to cut it. Grandpa cut down the locust tree with his own hands at that time.
Strange to say, after the locust tree was cut down, I slept a little sweeter that night.
The next night, Uncle Tiger came to the door and told my grandfather that he needed to take me out.
Grandpa now trusts Uncle Tiger very much and immediately agreed.
In the evening, I followed Uncle Tiger and walked for a ride, and Uncle Tiger said to me, "Wang Niu, do you want to learn skills from Uncle Wang?"
Hearing Uncle Tiger say this, I couldn't help but think of the scene when Uncle Tiger went to the Yellow River that night, that ability is equivalent to a fairy in the eyes of children. I hurriedly said to Uncle Tiger, uncle, I am willing to learn.
Uncle Tiger laughed heartily after hearing this, and said to me, when you grow up a little more, you will learn from me.
All the way to the place where Uncle Tiger lives, Uncle Tiger's shop is open by the Yellow River, not a lively place, but ten miles and eight villages will find Uncle Tiger to make clothes, which is called famous. After entering the shop, Uncle Tiger took a yellow shroud for me to wear, and let me not take it off for three days.
Seriously, let me wear the clothes of a dead man as a living person, and I really panicked in my heart.
At this time, the time was about eight o'clock in the evening, and Uncle Tiger asked me, are you hungry?
I was about to say that I was not hungry, but my stomach gurgled and Uncle Tiger told me to wait and get me something to eat. I was a little bored myself, so I walked up to Uncle Tiger's house, and at this time, I saw a crack in the door of the inner room.
Out of curiosity, I pushed the door open, but as soon as I pushed it open and saw what was inside, I was immediately startled.
I saw a white snake with a thick wrist suddenly emerge from it, and my heart hung in my throat.
It spat at me, and I turned around and wanted to run.
I happened to meet Uncle Tiger, who looked at me and said to me, "Don't be afraid. Then he stepped forward and said a few words to the white snake, and the white snake seemed to understand Uncle Tiger's words, so he returned to the room, and Uncle Tiger closed the door.
I suppressed the fear in my heart and asked Uncle Hu, "Uncle Hu, can it understand you?"
Uncle Tiger replied and said that it was about the same. Come over here and eat noodles.
Uncle Tiger put down the noodles, I began to eat a lot, and while I was eating the noodles, there was a sound of crying outside, and the crying came from far and near, and soon I saw a young girl in her twenties walking towards this side.
The girl cried very sadly, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
I know this girl, Liu Ying, the name of the village next door to us.
Uncle Tiger comforted Liu Ying and said, "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”
Liu Ying choked for a while before she said the whole thing: "Uncle Tiger, my father is dead, you go and make a set of clothes for my father." ”
After hearing this, Uncle Tiger sighed and said, you wait a minute, I will go with you later.
Liu Ying cried and said okay. Having been wiping his tears, Uncle Tiger quickly prepared tools, carried a black bag and said to Liu Ying, "Let's go." ”
When I saw that Uncle Tiger was leaving, and only me and the white snake were left in this house, I was a little scared, so I said to Uncle Tiger, "Uncle, I'll go with you." ”
Uncle Tiger was stunned for a few seconds, then said a good word, and I followed Uncle Tiger towards Liu Ying's house. On the way, Uncle Tiger asked, "Liu Ying, your father is only forty or fifty years old this year, and he is at the peak of his strength, why did he suddenly die?"
Liu Ying replied: "My father rolled down the mountain and fell to his death when he was working. ”
Uncle Tiger said that birth, old age, sickness and death are normal, so that Liu Yingjie mourns and changes.
When we arrived at Liu Ying's house, we saw Liu Ying's father's body, at this time he was pale and there were blood stains on his forehead, but what made me curious was that I seemed to see a trace of fear on Liu Ying's father's face, and this trace of fear was obviously fixed on his face.
I was looking at it intently, Uncle Tiger suddenly called me and asked me, what are you always staring at?
I was about to say what I saw, but Uncle Tiger shook his head at me as if he knew what I was going to say.
Uncle Tiger took out a ruler from the black bag and began to measure Liu Ying's father, and after measuring, Uncle Tiger said, I will send the clothes over early tomorrow morning.
Liu Ying cried and said, thank you, Uncle Tiger.
When Uncle Tiger left, he also asked Liu Ying a sentence and said, "Has your father had a discord with anyone recently?"
Liu Ying looked blank and said, no, my father is well-known for his good temper, and he is also a well-known good person in the village.
Uncle Hu didn't continue to say more, shouted and walked out of me, and after returning to Uncle Hu's house, I said to Uncle Hu: "Uncle, I just saw Liu Ying and his father have a frightened look on their faces. ”
Uncle Tiger asked me, "What else did you see?"
I shook my head and said, I don't see anything else.
Uncle Tiger said to me: "Liu Ying's father may not have fallen to his death, but was scared to death." ”
After hearing this, my heart was scareless, what was it that would be scared to death, and I asked myself to go to the middle of the Yellow River with Uncle Hu, it was really terrible, but I was not scared to death in that way, Liu Ying's father was actually scared to death.
I asked Uncle Hu, "What scared him to death?"
Uncle Tiger suddenly said to me in a leisurely voice: "Wang Niu, this world is far from being as simple as we seem on the surface, there are many species in the world, not only us, there are snakes, tigers, naturally there will be ghosts, demons and the like." Uncle Tiger didn't forget to look at me as he spoke, and then continued: "Wang Niu, when you grow up in the future, remember to pay more attention to things when facing things." ”
I was young at the time, and I didn't understand what Uncle Tiger meant.
He just answered and said he knew.
After arriving at Uncle Hu's house, Uncle Hu asked me, do you want to go back?
I said I wouldn't go back tonight, Uncle Tiger said yes, and then called my grandfather on a landline, it was about 06 years, and my grandfather also had a PHS.
After making a phone call, Uncle Tiger said it was done.
Then let me rest early, Uncle Tiger went into another room, because Liu Ying and his father died suddenly, so Uncle Tiger had to work overnight, I lay on the bed, I don't know if it's because I don't recognize the bed, so I can't sleep anymore.
I got out of bed and called Uncle Tiger, and Uncle Tiger asked me why I didn't sleep yet.
I said I couldn't sleep. I walked over to see Uncle Tiger making a shroud, looked at it, I fell asleep on my stomach, when I opened my eyes, Uncle Tiger had disappeared, I called Uncle Tiger, but no one answered, just when I saw a pair of black scissors on the table.
I picked up the scissors and looked, Uncle Tiger usually uses this scissors to make shrouds for people, and I also saw that there are many fine lines on the scissors, and when I turned it over, I saw that the back of the scissors was carved with a person and a huge python.
A man and a snake are in a stalemate.
When I was distracted, I suddenly heard someone calling me, and I saw that it was Uncle Tiger, and Uncle Tiger said to me, "What, are you interested in this pair of scissors?"
I put the scissors down and said, Uncle Tiger, is it a snake or a dragon painted on it?
Uncle Hu's face changed, and he said, "What do you look like?"
How do I look like a dragon.
Uncle Tiger laughed and said, "You look at the dragon, I look at the snake." ”
I quickly said to Uncle Tiger, then you must be right.
Uncle Tiger didn't say much, sat down, took the pair of scissors and said, When you really apprentice with me in the future, I will pass it on to you.
I was excited and said, really? Then I'll learn from you now.
Uncle Tiger knocked on my head and said, the time has not yet come, so don't worry.
I was talking to Uncle Hu, Liu Ying ran over again, and said with an anxious face: "Uncle Hu, my father can't wear the clothes you made." ”
After saying this, Uncle Tiger's complexion changed, and he said, "What's the matter?"
Liu Ying said: "Uncle, are you too small, so my father can't wear it." ”
Uncle Tiger shook his head and said I'll go over and have a look. Uncle Tiger is a well-known craftsman in Shili Eight Villages, but he has never made mistakes. On the way, Uncle Tiger suddenly asked Liu Ying and said, "Is it because you can't wear it, or is your father unwilling to wear it?"
