Chapter 169: Two Secrets
I was taken aback by this old man, and it didn't look like a good stubble! I turned around and ran, just as Fan Laoqi came out of the tent, and it happened that a stone under my feet tripped me, and I threw myself directly into Fan Laoqi's arms. I didn't even look at it and pointed behind me, "Seventh brother, look at it!"
"What are you looking at?" Fan Laoqi pushed me away, "What's the matter, what the hell?"
I looked back and saw that there was no one. But I can't be wrong about the real face just now! That old man is not a ghost, but how did he come and go without a trace?
Hearing the commotion, Wang Jing and Xu Lingxue also came out. When I told them what had just happened, they wondered what the old man was. I just noticed that I still had a cigarette in my mouth, but my lighter made me throw it on the ground. I walked over to look for a lighter, and I searched all over the floor, but I couldn't find my lighter.
"Okay, I don't have a lighter, just take a little less. Wang Jing looked at me with his arms crossed. I can't find it anyway, but where did it go? It can't be picked up by the old man, right?
"It's not early, let's all sleep. Fan Laoqi pointed to the tent.
You can't sleep outside if you don't sleep in a tent, right? As soon as a few of us approached the tent, the door of Cai's lame man's house opened. Liu Blind came out with his head poked out and beckoned at us, "Come in, that old thing has drunk too much." ”
He left us a door, and we looked at each other, what kind of medicine is sold in this blind gourd?
We entered the inner room of Cai Cripple, who was already lying on the table and falling asleep. Blind Liu kicked us a stool and sat down himself. He kicked the stool loudly, and I quickly asked him to move.
Blind Liu threw a peanut into his mouth, "I'm afraid of something, this old thing can't wake up after drinking too much all night." And that little girl, she doesn't have to sleep at all, maybe she listens to Fang Gen. ”
"Then why don't we come in?" I said, looking at the blind man.
There are a lot of dishes left on this table, and they all have the flavor they should have, but there are no hot dishes, they are all cold dishes and pickles, and even Fan Laoqi muttered about eating these high blood pressure in the morning and evening. What kind of person is this cripple Cai, who doesn't eat any hot food?
"I called you in because I had two secrets to tell you. Blind Liu held up a finger, "First, I know who you are and what you are here for." But I advise you to dispel this thought. ”
I was shocked when I saw his eye sockets! His eyeballs were gone, replaced by two copper coins!
"We two old men should have died a long time ago. The blind man took a sip of wine and unbuttoned his shirt in front of us, and then I saw that his upper body was only half of it! It was as if half of it had been gnawed off alive by a wild beast! The gnawed off half was cut out of paper and put together with his original body! The paper you're looking for is just that. ”
"Fenglin Village, in the past, when there were living people, it could still be called Fenglin Village, but now, it is just right to call it Paper Man Village!" Liu Blind laughed, laughing until he coughed. It wasn't until he finished coughing that he told us what had happened.
Decades ago, Liu Blind was a wandering feng shui gentleman, and after coming to this Fenglin Village, he stayed here after meeting Cai Cripple.
For example, when there is a drought for a few months, they all think that it is a drought and find a new burial place and dig up the corpses and limbs, which is called beating dry bone piles.
Where did it come from, there was a new burial ground, and if there was none, it had to be built on the spot, and even the child's mother was not spared, and she had to be locked up in a dark room, praying to the sky for rain day and night.
How could mothers who had no children withstand that kind of blow, and most of them committed suicide in that house. Even if a few survived, because of the prejudice of the villagers, they were not given food, and they died of thirst and starvation.
At that time, Cai's own legs and Liu's blind body were normal bodies. Once Liu Blind fell ill, and the lonely Liu Blind was helpless, so Cai Cripple sent him to the county town for treatment. When Cai Cripple and Liu Blind came back from the county seat, they found that the wife and children at home were gone, and there was a burst of fire in the back mountain of the village, and Cai Cripple immediately understood what was happening.
By the time they reached the back mountain, his daughter had been tied to a wooden rack and had been burned alive. But his daughter was not born on a cloudy day! Cai Cripple was about to save him like crazy, but his leg was broken by the villagers.
Liu Blind took advantage of the chaos to save his daughter-in-law, but when he arrived at the small dark house, his daughter-in-law had already hit her head against the wall and died.
Liu Blind regretted it vigorously, he claimed to be a god, but he didn't calculate the life of Cai's lame family. Since then, Liu Blind has gouged out his necrotic eyeballs and stuffed the copper coins he used for fortune-telling into his eye sockets.
He was the only one left in Cai's lame family, and as soon as he couldn't afford to get sick, Liu Blind came to take care of him. The villagers ignored Cai's lameness, and from time to time people came to scold the street.
On the day of his daughter-in-law's child's death in the second year, when Liu Blind went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and came back, Cai Cripple actually climbed into the yard and was already dying. Liu Blind went to find Lang Zhong in the village, but Lang Zhong didn't pay attention to them.
Blind Liu was ready to die with Cripple Cai, and Blind Liu accompanied Cripple Cai in the courtyard. In the middle of the night, a gust of wind blew, and I didn't know if it was a person or a ghost, a thing called itself a paper fairy appeared, and it said that it could save Cai Cripple, and the price was himself. Blind Liu agreed. The paper fairy bit off half of Liu's blind body.
When Blind Liu woke up the next day, there were only Blind Liu and Cripple Cai in the courtyard. His body and Cai's lame legs have become like this, and the paper fairy has never appeared again. There was also an extra piece of paper between them. After Cai Cripple woke up, Liu Blind told him the front and back, but Cai Cripple didn't appreciate it, he originally thought that he would be relieved when he was dead, but he was still alive.
Cai Cripple took the piece of paper, angry and melancholy, he took the paper and cut out the appearance of a little girl, and became his current granddaughter. Strange to say, since his granddaughter appeared, the villagers have died mysteriously every now and then. As more and more people died, the villagers began to panic and fled, but I heard that some more died on the way.
Liu Blind felt that this little girl was unlucky, but Cai Cripple loved her very much. In addition, he has always felt that this is owed to him by the people in the village, and he has always pretended not to know.
It didn't take long for the village to be empty. Cai lame man set up an incense altar in the dark room where his daughter-in-law died, offering paper fairies. It's strange to say, every time Cai lame confesses, he takes out a few pieces of paper when he comes out. When the house in the village was empty, he cut out the paper figure out of paper, painted the facial features, and the paper figure came to life!
It turned out that Wang Jing's intuition was right. I'm afraid that the only living people in this village are Cai Cripple and Liu Blind.
"Is there any paper left?" asked Fan Laoqi.
Blind Liu put back his sunglasses and sighed, "No." Never again. He never got it back when he offered it last year. ”
What he said didn't seem like a lie. Am I really unable to save the third child?
"Have you made an offer this year?" asked Xu Lingxue.
Blind Liu shook his head, "Not yet." Tomorrow is the day. ”
It's better to be in time than to be in time, and tomorrow I will have another chance!
Blind Liu suddenly raised his second finger, "The second secret is about you and the girl next to you." ”
The hairs on my body suddenly stood on end! The door that had been closed by us was blown open with a gust of wind!
