"Uncle Hu, do you feel better?" Hei Ya leaned over and asked, he raised my father's hand to cut his pulse, rolled his eyelids again, then breathed a sigh of relief, looked at me and said, "Qingpi, the soul is fine! This fate has been picked up! Recuperate for a while, I will protect Uncle Hu as a lively little old man in the future!"

"You stinky boy...... Hehehe...... "My dad gave him a playful look amused, he stood up with my arm, and I still felt dizzy when I got up, I quickly held him in my arms, but he pushed him away, and smiled reluctantly, "Dad is not yet seventy or eighty years old...... Alas, this time I fell on the road, what a shame for the adults! I'm causing trouble for you two brothers, it's really my old bones, and I'm getting more and more useless!"

"Dad, why did you go to show people the murderous house in the middle of the night?" Seeing that my father was fine, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly made a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, watching him suck and drink hot tea, I asked???. ? Huo Ran ?Wen ?? ??? ．?ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? ｅ?ｎ`ｏｒｇ

"Yes, Uncle Hu, why don't you wait for us to come back, or call my two eldest brothers, this kind of dangerous thing should call us!" Hei Ya comforted, "But fortunately, you are fine, otherwise how would we explain to my aunt!"

My father took a sip of hot tea, let out a long sigh and said, "You go out to discuss something big, I'm afraid of delaying you...... Besides, the middleman Lao Xu said that the house there has been idle for a long time, and recently the master wants to move in and send someone to clean up, but the cleaning person always says that he has encountered a ghost, I think it's just an idle house, and I recruited a wandering ghost to go in, so I didn't take it seriously, usually I can't deal with those little ghosts, so I followed Lao Xu to the murderous house......"

I'm often not at home, in fact, my father has been taking jobs privately through Lao Xu, a middleman, but the work he takes is generally to look at feng shui, exorcise evil spirits for people, show people looks, summon spirits for children or something, ghost catching is rarely encountered in the city, he always thinks about his son I, I will marry a big star Wei Chunyu in the future, he and my mother can't save no money at all, they will be too poor in the future, and they will make their daughter-in-law look down on them, so they will take jobs to make money.

This time about catching ghosts, the middleman said very simply, just that the cleaning workers saw the ghost shadow, and the lonely ghost was not a big deal for him, so he took it lightly and gave it when he saw that he was well paid.

When he arrived at the murderous mansion, the door of the murderous mansion was tightly closed, and he walked to the door, and before he could push it, the door creaked open.

The courtyard was unusually cold, he was quite cautious, before entering the door, my father shivered fiercely, he felt in a trance that the situation inside might be worse than said, but since he came, he wanted to take a hard look at it, so as to have an explanation to the master's family.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he immediately regretted it!

On the window of the room, a black ghost shadow suddenly appeared, and on the window on the other side, there was indeed a snow-white ghost, he pulled out a "ghost exorcism" that had been prepared for a long time, and before he could turn into a charm, he saw a small whirlwind under his feet, and his legs immediately seemed to have stepped into an ice cave, and a cold breath swept through his body from the soles of his feet, and his legs could barely be opened, and those small whirlwinds surrounded his legs, and he could hardly take a step again.

My father was involuntarily trembling all over, his heart was not good, he was weak, but his neck was hard and couldn't turn, he took advantage of his ability to move, and immediately turned the talisman in his hand, but found that it had no effect at all, his head was cloudy for a while, and his eyes were turning upward......

"Broken ......" Before he could finish speaking, my father felt a gust of wind blow in front of him, and a black ghost leaped past him, and then he didn't know anything!

"Alas, it's really useless!" my father let out a long sigh and said a little embarrassed, "Yazi, Qingpi, you two have been to this murderous mansion and fought with the things in it, what is it that is so powerful?"

"I was concerned about your injuries at the time, and I didn't take a closer look at what that thing was, but after listening to Qingpi's description, we discussed it, we should have encountered a drought......!"

But my dad objected.

Drought Fish, a monster that is said to cause drought, is believed in the countryside to be the result of a dead man within a hundred days of death. The corpses of the dead who have become marls do not decompose, grass does not grow on the graves, and water seeps from the graves, and the droughts will carry water to their homes at night. It will only rain when the drought is burned. The custom of burning dry fish in the villages around Luzhong continued until the sixties of the twentieth century.

He said that it is rare in modern times, because in most places, the whole coffin burial is changed to cremation, and a fire burns the corpse into ash and slag, and then puts it in a small box, which does not have the conditions for the corpse to become a dry fish.

My father said that in the past, especially in the area of Shandong and Henan, whenever there was a drought, it was customary to treat the newly buried corpses as drought fish.

After all, farmers rely on the weather for food, and if the crops need rain but it doesn't rain for a year, the people will have no livelihood and no food to eat.

My father said that there are many legends about fighting drought, saying that in the ninth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, there was no rain for a long time in the high-density area, and the crops were planted, and the seedlings could hardly grow, and even if they did, they would die of dryness!

It was discovered that a villager who died of illness at the beginning of the year was always damp since he was buried, no matter how dry the land around him was, so some people suspected that this villager had become a drought after his death!

At that time, the people were brave, and the villagers suffering from the drought in various villages united, regardless of the family's obstruction, and threw the grave away, and saw that the dead villager's body had not rotted after nearly half a year, so everyone was even more sure that this guy had become a drought!

So he took the body out of the grave at noon, poured oil on it, and burned it!

Not to mention, after burning the drought, it didn't take long for it to rain in the sky, so the legend of the drought, the more evil it became, and once there was a drought, everyone would look for the drought.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the concept of zombies as drought was very popular, and there was the custom of autumn rain such as "beating drought bone piles" and "burning drought fish", once encountering drought, people began to excavate newly buried graves, and whether it was a real drought or not, they dragged out people's corpses and burned them.
