Chapter 595: Feudal superstition is hard to believe
What Wang Jiajia came to say was that this summer, before Xiao Yao went to Wuyang Town to install teeth, the wife of the captain of their village suddenly went crazy, jumping up and down in the village all day long, talking nonsense, everyone originally thought she was sick.
It's just that during that time, Xiao Yao was rarely at home, and Wang Jiajia didn't take it seriously.
But after a period of time, the captain's wife's condition did not improve, but became more and more crazy.
She said today: The deceased parents of a certain family, attached to her body, shouted at the offspring of that family, and frightened the children of that family, and they all knelt in front of her, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
She said again: If you count someone in a certain family, you won't live to August 15th, which will cause someone's whole family to tremble and be grief-stricken.
After so many times in a row, people gradually found that as long as someone usually has a holiday with her, she will find trouble with whomever family, and people think that she is purely pretending to be crazy and stupid to avenge personal revenge, and then no one believes her nonsense.
But everyone got in the way of the captain's face, and let her make trouble.
The eternal law of farmers is to work at sunrise and rest at sunset. But summer is the busiest season for rural double grabbing.
At about four o'clock in the morning, when the sky is bright, the farmers will get up earlier and go out to work while it is cool. By the time I got back for breakfast, I had been doing farm work for hours.
On this morning, when the people returned from a long day of working in the fields, squatting under the walls of each house with bowls in their hands, and chatting while eating breakfast, the scene in front of them stunned everyone.
I saw the captain's crazy wife, who jumped up several meters high, broke a branch with a diameter of more than ten centimeters, and carried it up and walked more than 20 meters in the air.
Now the whole village was in a sensation, and all the people were no longer calm, and everyone was talking about it, thinking that she was possessed by a great god and a ghost.
If you don't see it with your own eyes, no one will believe it. If it weren't for the help of ghosts and gods, how could she, a woman, have so much strength to break such thick branches? How did she, an old rural woman, do such a difficult aerial walk?
In the eyes of the villagers, she is a crazy woman, and it is normal to talk nonsense. However, she was illiterate, and she had never gone to school, let alone practiced high jump, a height that even a world high jump champion could not jump, so how could she jump so high and walk so far in the air?
This mystery is still a mystery and has not been solved until now.
Originally, people were no stranger to her. The fifteenth of August has passed, and none of her words have been fulfilled. But this morning's actions had to make the villagers look at her with admiration.
Besides, after walking more than 20 meters in the air, when she landed, she only suffered some skin injuries. When her husband carried her home and put her on the cot where the children slept in the hall. I saw that after a tremor all over her body, she made a voice that was not what she had spoken.
Her Shinto eyes rolled up, and in a rough male voice, she said that she was a certain immortal who had descended to earth to treat the villagers who lacked medical treatment and save everyone from suffering.
With the knowledge just now, the villagers were in awe of her, and many old women knelt on the ground to worship.
At that time, the people were very ignorant, and feudal superstition prevailed. This made the already superstitious peasant believe that she was possessed by a god.
Coupled with what they witnessed in the morning, everyone believed it to be true. In this way, one to ten, ten to hundred. For a time, the people of ten miles and eight towns spread the word of their gods, boiling.
Whoever encounters something unpleasant, whose elderly and children have a headache and brain fever, all come to worship her, begging the gods to bless and hope for the happiness of their families.
Not long after, with the help of the villagers, the tablet of a certain god in the captain's house was quickly erected. A clay statue of the god, painted with various paints, sits on the altar with its face south and back to the north end, which looks very funny.
On either side of the idol, there are two candlesticks. The red candles on the candlesticks swayed with small flames.
On the top of the idol and on each side of the candlestick, a small wooden board was nailed, and the words "The position of a certain god" were written crookedly above. On both sides it is written: A certain god is here, and he will answer his request.
Below the idol is the position of the stand-in, that is, the captain's wife who is meditating cross-legged with her head hanging and closing her eyes. She was originally crazy, but at this time she sat still and accepted the worship of the people.
In front of her, there were all kinds of incense, candles, fruits and other tributes. Although the peasants at that time were very poor, in order to pray for the well-being of their families and to show their sincerity to God, many of them tightened their belts and bought many tributes to send them.
Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's more of a psychological effect, and she really cured some miscellaneous diseases.
Some of them found a partner after falling out of love, some were in a trance after failing in school, and recovered from worshipping God, and some had long-term incurable diseases and asked for divine water to improve. And so on and so forth.
In this way, the captain's wife was possessed by the pilgrim as a true god to save the suffering. said that she responded to requests, had extraordinary results, and became famous for a while.
Since then, the originally deserted small village has become very lively. There is an endless stream of people who come to ask God for hexagrams, burn incense and worship God, and are willing to set off cannons. This scene of heavy traffic lasted until the mid-nineties. How it eventually disappeared is unknown.
Later, this incident also became a topic of conversation for villagers who went to work in other places after tea and dinner.
Listening to Wang Jiajia finish speaking, Xiao Yao's head shook like a rattle.
He purely listened to what Wang Jiajia said as a ghost story. And his attention was all on Wang Jiajia's constantly wriggling lips. So full, round, natural flesh red, very seductive.
Observing that Xiao Yao's expression was wrong, Wang Jiajia knew what he wanted to do. But before she could make a move, she was already hugged by Xiao Yao and pressed down on the bed. Alas, Xiao Yao was much faster than her.
"Don't make a fuss, be careful that your mother comes and sees it. You haven't said what you think about it. ”
Wang Jiajia didn't struggle hard, she was afraid that the action would be too big and hot Xiao Yao, and she was also afraid that Xiao Yao's mother would hear it in the backyard.
"Hey, hey, my mother went to the factory, what are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of the heat. ”
As soon as she heard Xiao Yao say that her mother was not at home, Wang Jiajia couldn't help but panic. She quickly turned her face serious and pushed Xiao Yao away to suppress her body.
She said that being afraid of heat was just an excuse, but she was definitely not afraid of Xiao Yao. What she is really afraid of is herself, she is afraid that she will be lost in a certain environment, and she will let him blindly mess around.
She was afraid that one of her losses would hurt him. She loved him, but she must not harm him, and that was the only principle she had always adhered to.
"Your mother is not at home, and you didn't say it earlier, how ugly is it for the two of us to be alone together? Be careful when you go out lately. Many people who come to pray to God say that there are many mad dogs out there, biting people everywhere, and people are bitten by dogs, and people will bite people, which is so scary. ”
As soon as Wang Jiajia was serious, Xiao Yao became discouraged. Looking at the beauty of her departure, she could only sigh.
Wang Jiajia said about letting go of the dog, Xiao Yao didn't take it seriously at all. But what he didn't expect was that within two days, two militiamen came to the gate of his house with spears on their backs.
Chairman Mao advocated that all the people should be soldiers to defend the motherland, and all guns were equipped with real guns and live ammunition, and they would often organize militia target training. At that time, although it was nearing its end, the militia battalions of each brigade had not yet been disbanded, which was the main security force in the countryside at that time.
Xiao Yao, the militia battalion commander of this brigade, knows him and is also the elder uncle of his clan. He didn't know any of the two militiamen who came today, but he knew that in the brigade in his hometown, he saw the least number of juniors, so he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly opened the door and welcomed the two to the hall and sat down.
"Where's your wolfdog?"
As soon as the two of them sat down, without waiting for Xiao Yao to ask them what they meant, one of them asked Xiao Yao directly. Xiao Yao thought that they were afraid of their own fox, so he hurriedly said:
"It's okay, it's okay, the fox went out with my mother, and he won't be back for a while. Sit down, I'll make you tea, and talk about what you have to drink. ”
If his mother is at home and these characters visit, Xiao Yao will not even want to see them. He is now stabilizing the two of them, just to delay time, so that they can wait for their mother to come back. He said that the fox would not come back for a while, but that he was just fooling them.
"Don't be busy, we're here this time on orders from our superiors, and we're here to fight mad dogs. ”
The other man slapped his chest very awesomely, as if he was not on orders, but the one who gave the order, and his tone was very arrogant. Xiao Yao's character is that others respect him, and he respects others. You're arrogant, he doesn't even dick you.
"Ordered, fight mad dogs, then what are you two doing at my house?"
Although it was summer, Xiao Yao's tone was shivering. He stopped making tea and looked at the two people in front of him with an unkind look in his eyes.
"See, we came with a gun, we just heard that your big wolf dog is too powerful, and our superiors asked us to shoot it directly. ”
The arrogant man reached out and put the spear in his hand with his back, "Whoa. As soon as he pulled the bolt, he signaled that Xiao Yao's bullet was loaded, and he was waiting to complete the task.
"I'll give you two a chance now, get out of here immediately, if you want to kill my fox, unless you shoot me first, otherwise, a dog's life, I will exchange the lives of both of you." ”
"Do you dare to disobey orders, aren't you afraid that we will arrest you?"
The person who spoke first, seeing that Xiao Yao said so unpleasantly, also picked up the gun, "banged", and also pushed the bullet into loading.
They were indeed sent by the battalion commander of the brigade militia, and it was not good for him to come forward in person, so he let these two people who were far away carry it out.
This brigade, the family surnamed Xiao, occupies the vast majority, even if there are a very small number of families who are not surnamed Xiao, just like Wang Jiajia's family, it is definitely related to the surname Xiao.
The two people who came were also surnamed Xiao, Xiao Yao's elders, and they had also heard of Xiao Yao's reputation, but they didn't expect this kid to be so prickly.
"Am I disobeying? Whose order is it to resist? Resisting the lives of both of you? If you don't get out, don't blame me for being rude. ”
"You dare? When you see me, you have to politely shout at me Xiaoda, if you dare to make a mistake, I will arrest you now to see your Laozi." I want to ask him, as a factory director, how did he educate his son, and dare to tell his grandfather and uncle to get out. ”
As soon as the arrogant guy said this, Xiao Yao was completely clear about the seniority of the people who came, but he really didn't care about the seniority of these two people.
