6. Ghost things on the prairie
Six
The death of Grandpa Tie Dan'er lifted a curse from the village for several years: many people died in the village one after another, no less than ten people, old and young. The village of hundreds of people was panicked by this.
The first to die is the second brother of Grandpa Tie Dan'er called Er Guisheng, because the old grave is in Shanxi, and his father is buried in Shanxi, the brothers don't want to toss back and forth, so they are ready to be buried in the nearest grave. As the saying goes: there is a backer behind and a river in front, and water is a symbol of wealth. He also instructed his sons to be buried there after his death, in what direction and in what direction, and so on. Even if his brother died, he was not allowed to go to the grave first, but "stumbled" on the western slope.
Since Ergui Shenghua was on the west slope, the dogs in the village began to bark night and night, more than a dozen dogs in a village, every night they all went to the west slope to chase a few times, and when they were halfway through the chase, suddenly there would be a dog with their tails between their legs and screaming and running back, as if they had been beaten. The other dogs still chased after each other, and barked wildly for a while on the western slope before returning to the village, night after night! The people of the village were in panic all day long, and the sun went down and they did not come out, and the lively riverside grassland suffered a long and silent night.
Then there were a series of dead people in the village, everyone said that the place where Ergui was born was a ghost road, and after the ghost was blocked, he came to the village to take revenge, and the people in the village were arrested one by one as substitutes for the dead ghosts.
It wasn't until Grandpa Tie Dan'er died that the two nobles were able to go to the grave together in the village to stop the dead.
Ergui died miserably.
A month before death. I went alone to my sister's house more than ten miles away to visit relatives. When the sun was about to set, I carried the half-pocket white noodles that my sister had received and went home. Halfway through, it was getting dark, and there was a winding path in the lush pasture, and he followed the road until he reached home in half an hour, and there were no large predators in the grassland, and wolves were rare. So when his sister left him to leave the next day, he didn't listen, besides, why didn't he go through this road ten times or eight times?—— what were he afraid of?
Walking two miles further to Dawa to reach home, he vaguely saw the faint light of the village, and he still walked unhurriedly.
Suddenly, there were two waist-high "villains" around him, blocking his way, and he was really startled! Instinctively, he wanted to pull away with one hand, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, the two "villains" jumped aside. He immediately understood: he was blocked by two ghosts.
He made up his mind and scolded the imp loudly, saying that he was a righteous man, and that he should not be teased at him. But no matter how much he threatened him, the imp was always jumping around him, making it difficult for him to move an inch. He began to beg for mercy, begging the imp to spare him and let him go home.
The little ghost kept circling around him, and he kept fighting with the little ghost for a whole night. Until a rooster crows from a nearby village, the imp disappeared in an instant.
He fixed his mind and found that he had trampled the two-step grass into a sturdy straw mat. His sister's mille-feuille shoes were also dyed green by the grass. Looking up, the morning glow had already appeared in the east, and the sky was getting brighter, so I hurried home.
When I got home, my family hadn't gotten up yet.
tossed up the family and told his experience of meeting the two ghosts. The family panicked, and hurriedly looked for a big fairy in the grassland to see, and the big fairy said that the little ghost was just boring and teasing him.
I don't want to, as soon as the sun sets, Er Guisheng starts talking nonsense, and when the rooster crows, he falls asleep. A month later, the man was so thin that he died.
Not long after Ergui died, an eighteen-year-old young girl in the village also died inexplicably.
Her younger brother wanted to know the reason, and begged the immortals everywhere, and listened to the words of a god: climb to the roof at midnight on the Midyear Festival, wrap a piece of red cloth on a small basket, take a mirror face down, cover the chimney together, put three sticks of incense, and silently recite his sister's name, so that he can see his sister's current condition.
He made an appointment with a few friends, and on the night of the Midyear Festival, a few people dared to climb into the room. And so he did it: he really saw a busy street, his sister was breastfeeding a child with her arms, and he opened her mouth wide in surprise to make no sound.
Shenhan repeatedly confessed: Don't squeak when you see him, and don't teach the other party to see him.
A few people next to him asked in a low voice: "Did you see it?"
"I saw it, I saw it!" he replied excitedly.
Just as he was about to call his sister, he suddenly seemed to be pushed from behind by someone, and fell off the roof of a foot high for some reason.
After falling, he has been unconscious and talking nonsense. People say that they were pushed off the house by ghosts, and I'm afraid it's hard to get better. I invited the immortals, gods, and goddesses from all over the country to see it, and they all said that Yangshou had not yet arrived and could not die, but they couldn't come up with any good treatments, so they could only raise it slowly.
Not long after Grandpa Tie Dan'er died, he miraculously recovered. When I woke up, I couldn't recall what I saw, and my head hurt like it exploded. People only scratch the surface of it.
After Grandpa Tie Dan'er died, on the night before the New Year, Tie Dan'er's mother would dream that Grandpa Tie Dan'er was dressed neatly: a black cloth coat, cloth shoes with a thousand layers of soles, a five-foot red cloth belt on his waist, and a dry tobacco pouch with a stick, and walked back from the gate with his hands behind his back in a hurry.
Countrymen are busy all year round, not the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Spring Festival is generally just a festival, and I don't remember a few festivals, every time I dream of Grandpa Tie Dan'er coming back, Tie Dan'er mother will say in the morning: Look at the month card today It is estimated that it is another festival again, and nine times out of ten times is accurate.
It wasn't until the years when Shandan was admitted to college that Grandpa Tie Dan'er no longer appeared in Tie Dan'er's mother's dreams.
Tie Dan'er's mother said to Tie Dan'er: Your grandfather has been reincarnated. Since then, I have let go of this family and no longer worry about it.
