Chapter 24 Anxian Strange Aspirations
The village slaughter incident caused by the bisexual old corpse has made Bajiu Village a lot more deserted, and this village will soon become a panic village. When we arrived, it was already afternoon, and the doors of the villagers' homes were tightly closed, and we could hear the sobs of everyone as we walked along the road, after all, the families who suffered were more or less related to the families that survived.
We arrived at the swallow's house, and the deformed iron door still had the shocking claw marks of the old corpse. Her dad had returned, and the family of three was watching TV.
"The benefactor is here." Mother Yan came out to greet her warmly. Her house was a watershed, and the residents in the west and east were all dead, and when the bisexual corpses were slaughtered to her house that night, the master stopped them in time and led them to the village committee.
"Hmph." Yanzi's father was full of disdain, among the dead was his brother's family, and before he could see the last face, the master instructed the armed police to burn the body.
"To tell you the truth, we are here to investigate a murderer in a village." Master said straight to the point, "Have there ever been androgynous people in your village?" ”
Yanzi looked puzzled: "What is hermaphroditism?" ”
"It's a male on the front and a female on the back, and they are born together and use a body, which is a rare congenital malformation. may have been born before the dragon and phoenix fetus, but it grew a piece. The specific time, more than 100 years. ”
"Huh?" Yanzi's mother was surprised, she looked at her husband, "I am married outside, I don't know the situation, do you know?" ”
Father Yan shook his head: "My parents went early, and they haven't told me about it for so long." ”
Master stared into the other party's eyes, not like he deliberately concealed it because of his small belly, so he didn't plan to waste time, and led me and Dongtian to start a carpet door-to-door visit.
After an hour, we finished asking all the residents in the east and south of the village, and our mouths were dry. As a result, when we gathered in front of the village committee, we exchanged ideas with each other, but we didn't get anything out of it.
There were only twenty-five households left in the west of the village, and they asked in a hurry, including the seventy-year-old man, who had not heard of it.
Just when we wanted to give up, the master suddenly snapped his fingers and called the village party secretary, and he asked the other party, "Do you have any village records in Bajiu Village?" ”
"It's been lost for a long time." The village party secretary glanced at me and said, "Actually, what you want to inquire about, maybe there are in the old county chronicles, and that thing has a lot of things in Anxian County, and it can be pushed forward by three hundred years at the longest." ”
The county chronicle is a special book that records the history, geography, customs, people, culture, education, and products of a county. The same is true for the village, but it is relatively minimalist.
Anxian County has only published county chronicles that record events within 50 years, so we have also obtained the sealed manuscripts of the county cultural bureau for things before 50 years.
In the evening, we came to the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and the master greeted us in advance, and the person in charge, Mr. Liu, waited for a long time, and he led us to the spacious living room, where we brought out a wooden box, which was full of manuscripts of the county chronicles that had been in place for 300 years.
In the night battle, many strange things dazzled us.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Dongtian put the manuscript in his hand on the table and said urgently: "I have found an incident about hermaphroditism!" ”
Hearing this, Master and I immediately looked at the yellowed page......
In the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu, location, Anxian County, Bajiu Village.
A woman in Zhejiang gave birth to a strange baby, a man on her back, hair on both sides and on the top of her head, her facial features are there, her reproduction is complete, and she has four breasts before and after, but only her hands and feet are hermaphrodites.
Zhejiang's strange baby did not open his eyes for more than three months, did not cry or laugh, so he named it Zhejiang Sanshu.
In addition, during these three months, there was no drop of water, a severe drought, and the crops were dead, so it is predicted that there will be no harvest throughout the year.
The villagers regard the strange baby as a catastrophe from heaven and want to die.
The villagers went to the blacksmith shop in Anxian County overnight and cast a large iron cage with a column diameter of three inches and three sides of the cage.
The villagers returned to Bajiu Village with iron cages, sealed the three coins of Zhejiang into it, locked them with keyless locks and chains, and strangled the three coins of Zhejiang to death and sank to the bottom of the river in front of the full door of the Zhejiang family.
On the second day, God was angry, and it rained heavily in Bajiu Village, and the river swelled and overflowed the crops.
The Zhejiang family was also released by the villagers, and the Zhejiang woman was worried that the body of the child born in October was eaten by fish, so she took the whole family to the river to find it, and wanted to be buried.
However, the water was turbulent, not only could not find the iron cage that sank to the bottom of the river, except for the daughter of the Zhejiang family, the rest of the Zhejiang family were swept into the torrent and drowned.
The Zhe woman wanted to hang herself, but the rope was broken, she was tormented and couldn't die, and the Zhe woman waited for her family to spend the first seven days, drank and hated and left, and wrote a line of blood in front of the door, "One day, all of you will pay the price of your lives!" ”
Follow-up: There are good deeds among the villagers, who want to dig up the corpse of Zhesanguan for whipping, and when the river is reset, they gang up to the center of the river and dig three feet of the river, but they can't see the trace of the iron cage of the sunken corpse.
……
At the end, Master and Dongtian and I looked at each other.
The villagers of that generation were indeed a little cruel, and they were angry at the deformed children of the Zhejiang family due to the proletarianism caused by the drought, and it is no wonder that the old thinking was more feudal, and there would be irrelevant disasters whenever something happened.
The master separated Dongtian from Liu, and he talked to me alone: "Xiao Ming, now I can basically determine the identity of the intersex old corpse, which is the deformed baby who was born in March. ”
I said suspiciously: "In the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu, according to the year, that is, 1901, more than 100 years ago, the time is in line, and there seems to be only one record of hermaphroditism in the county annals." But the old corpse looked like it was older, but it was the baby who strangled and sank to the bottom of the river. ”
"The one who strangled to death first, not drowned, I think it has something to do with the river veins." The master scratched his scalp and said thoughtfully, "It stands to reason that he can't get out, and if the corpse can't be transformed in the water, sooner or later he will be soaked, and the fish will have to eat it." However, the rainstorm the next day, the river veins changed, and the iron cage was inadvertently sealed into the depths of the river, close to the center of the river veins, which caused the baby corpse to change, and absorb yin qi, and was naturally raised corpse, although the physiological form grew slowly, but also aged with time. ”
"If so...... The seven water ghosts with some climates are the seven members of the Zhejiang family who were drowned the next day when they failed to find the iron cage? ”
"It should be."
The master re-read this page of the county chronicle and said solemnly: "The daughter of the Zhejiang clan left the village and put down her cruel words. I think the facts are far more than that, the county records are recorded based on what the local people have seen and heard, as the saying goes, three people become tigers, and many things that are not clear are conjectured by people at the time based on phenomena, and they must deviate from the facts. You see, the Zhe girl hanged herself and didn't die, I suspect that she was rescued by someone and reached an unknown agreement with the other party, so she is a helpless and weak woman so she changes, and dares to leave blood and leave her hometown! ”
"Could it be that the one who intervened in this matter was an evil master, who accepted the daughter of the Zhejiang clan as an apprentice and granted him evil magic, and now he has come to take revenge?" After I finished speaking, I shook my head violently, "No, no, the evil master who snatched Xiaowen that night was a man." ”
"It's a man, and when I fought him, he was between thirty-five and forty years old. Maybe it's the disciple of the Zhe girl, but maybe this matter has nothing to do with the Zhe girl, only the people behind it. There is no progress in this matter based on speculation. ”
A deep sense of powerlessness rose in my heart, and I shook my head and said: "The whereabouts of the Zhe girl have been separated for more than a hundred years, and I want to find out but I can't do it. ”
"Don't panic, let the teacher think again." The master recalled carefully, and he said analytically, "Shooting ghosts with arrows in the air is a means of Yin Mao. The Six-Mang Soul Conjuring Secret Technique is the means of the Bloody Clothes Gate. The river veins are extremely cloudy, and the cage cannot be artificially lifted out, first the unknown number of corpses sealed in the dust are fed to the fish, and the water ghosts are controlled to get on the body of the fish bully, and then the water ghosts and fat fish hold the iron cage to the surface of the river, which is the means of the Disperse Evil Alliance. When the other party was fighting with me, his tricks were also similar to these three evil ways, could this be his ill-intentioned and deliberate misleading my thinking? ”
"The impossible has already happened to this evil master, combining the methods of the three evil paths. Oh yes, Xu Huayan painted the leather door, but she was stunned by the other party, and she didn't even have time to release the defensive magic object of the Ruthless Flower, and the other party also tore her clothes, and there were hidden signs of wanting to violate. Master, can you see something from this? ”
"This evil master has the means to restrain the painted leather door." Master said word by word, "As far as I know, only the 'Huang Xian Guan' evil sect has the ability to suppress the leather gate. ”
"Huang Xianguan?" I'm a little puzzled.
"Believe in the second master Huang, which is the so-called weasel. The disciples of Huang Xianguan are very lewd, and there is a weasel around him all the year round. Many flower thieves are from this Huangxian view. In this way, the evil master has the means of a fourth evil sect......"
"Damn, something is wrong! The evil master wants to defile Xu Huayan, so will he kidnap Xiaowen......" Hearing what the master said, I immediately yelled anxiously.
"Calm down, Xiaowen won't be violated by it, don't forget that she has corpse qi in her body, unless the evil master doesn't want to live." The master hesitated for a moment, and he said thoughtfully, "Forgive the teacher for speaking directly, Xiaowen may not even be able to die simply, since the other party gave up killing you and took her away, he took a fancy to her possession of a half-corpse physique, and most likely wanted to use her to harm others." ”
"This ...... Does it mean that Xiaowen can't be saved? What's more, the origin of the evil master is not clear...... "There is endless despair in my eyes.
"From another angle, no matter how well the gold is disguised, it will shine inadvertently. If there was really an evil master who intervened in the affairs of the Zhe family girl back then, then even if the other party hid the identity of the evil master, maybe there would be times when his negligence was revealed, and then he would be seen by others and become a talking point after dinner. Hehe...... Our ghost Daofu is relatively casual, and the rest of the professions and sects that are beyond ordinary people pay attention to a lot of things. ”
The master reached out and stroked the county chronicles, and proposed: "Xiao Ming, calm down, let's continue to read the county chronicles, focusing on seeing if there are any strange records of abnormal people in the entire Anxian County before and after the Zhejiang tragedy more than a hundred years ago. ”
