Chapter 53: Resurrection of the Dead
The cacophony of noises and footsteps drew closer, and he hurriedly hid behind a stone statue. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe statue looked like a stone ox, two or three meters tall, and its neck was chained, and the end of the chain didn't know where it went.
After hiding behind the stone statue and adjusting to the darkness, I vaguely saw that it was a group of soldiers wearing ancient armor who made the sound just now. They all dragged long hooked halberds, and each of them carried live chickens and ducks on their backs, as if they were marching in a hurry.
Looking at them muttering and screaming, I was wondering what this group of guys was coming from, but I suddenly woke up.
I suddenly remembered that if I didn't guess wrong, I might have encountered the legendary ghoul.
In the past, I often heard people say that in some places where there are too many dead people, there are often unjust souls swimming around, which is often referred to as the Yin Soldier. It seems that it may also be a large group of zombies.
The yin ghoul was an old lady in her 90s. The older a person gets, the less sleepy he should be. But this old lady is different, she sleeps every day, as if she can never wake up.
Then I woke up occasionally, and I just moved a chair and dozed off in the sun. Her lips kept stirring, and she didn't know what she was talking about, and whenever people wanted to come in and listen, she smiled sadly and stopped talking.
Whenever I saw her like this, the knowledgeable old man in the village would say, "It's broken, it's bad, I'm afraid this old woman is going to become a yin ghoul." "People who live in a mountain village certainly know what a yin ghoul is. It is said that the yin ghouls are some people who are so old that they are about to die, these people have already stepped into the ghost gate with half a foot, but there is still half a foot that has not entered, and they do not want to die with a sigh of relief, so they have become such a thing that looks like a person and not a person, a ghost and not a ghost.
In order to prolong their lifespan, they can't help but leave their bodies in the middle of the night, put on their shoes and go out to find a child who is less than one year old, and then kill the child, so that they can get the child's life in exchange for their own life. As for why you can only get children who are not over the age old? Because they don't have any mana, they only rely on this half-dead body that is still in the world to hang for a breath, so they can only kill the child, and when the child is a little older and one year old, even if he gets it, he can't get it to die. But since the yin ghoul has a ghost word, he must have a reason for calling him a ghost, that is, once the yin ghoul puts on his shoes at night, the adults will not be able to see him, and he can walk 7 or 80 miles in an hour.
Therefore, when many people see children crying in one place, it is very likely that it is because they see a ghoul. In fact, the way to deal with him is also very simple, as long as you put a metal sharp weapon on the head of the child's bed, so that the yin ghoul will not dare to get close
Then again, although the old people in the village said so, no one suspected that she had become a yin ghoul. Later, the first person to find out about this was her daughter-in-law, one day her daughter-in-law got up at night and went to the thatched house, heard the old lady's room have a noise, and then usually heard people say that the old lady was going to change something, so she wanted to see what was going on, but when she opened the door, the old lady's shoes were really gone. This frightened the old lady and daughter-in-law, so she hurriedly ran back to the room and called her husband: "Husband, husband, your mother has really changed." ”
"What's the matter if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"
"Hurry up and see Sa, the man is sleeping in the bed, but the shoes are not in front of the bed."
When her husband heard this, he was also shocked and sat up. Hurriedly ran to the old lady's room to take a look, and sure enough, the shoes were gone. Think about the old lady, this is a sin, she is a half-dead thing, and she still harms other people's children. But asking him to kill his mother, I think no one can do it. So helplessly, the next day, the husband and wife hurried to ask the old man in the village to see how they could not kill people and prevent him from going out to harm people.
To say that the old center of the tree is empty, and the people are old and know-it-all. Sure enough, this question was really asked by his two husband and wife. That is, some people say that as long as the old lady goes to bed at night, she immediately lifts the old lady's bed and turns around. In this way, the yin ghoul is trapped in its shell and cannot find its way out.
When the husband and wife heard this, they went home that night and began to do so, and as soon as the old lady went to bed, the two of them were one person and one head, and when they lifted the bed, they reversed. As soon as the two of them turned in this direction, the old lady lay on the bed and shouted with her eyes open: "What are you going to do, what are you going to do, I can't die, I don't want to die." Hurry up and get my bed back. ”
Daughter-in-law: "Mom, after living for such a long time, even if you die, you can die, how can you get old and harm other people's babies?"
But where could the old lady listen, I saw that she didn't answer her daughter-in-law's words, but just shouted vigorously: "I can't die, I don't want to die, I can't die yet." ”
Screaming and screaming, the daughter-in-law and the son saw the old lady's shoes in front of the bed move by themselves, and ran out of the door with a snap, and the daughter-in-law and the son knew that it was the old lady's soul that was going out again, so they pounced one by one, but what is the yin ghoul? That's a 7 or 80 mile walk in an hour, faster than a car. So the daughter-in-law and son naturally pounced, and the two waited in front of the bed all night, and the next day, the old lady's shoes came back wet again. Wet shoes are dewdrops from going out at night.
As soon as the old lady's shoes came back, the daughter-in-law scolded: "You are an old immortal, you still have to be shameless, you are still greedy for life and afraid of death at such an old age, and you will harm other babies." ”
But it's useless to scold, the old lady must have harmed another child when she went out, so she just sat on the head of the bed with a sad smile on her face full of satisfaction.
Seeing that this trick didn't work, the two of them went out to consult the old people again.
In the end, the old people gave another trick. As soon as the old lady slept on the bed, let the little couple take the old lady's shoes away, so that the yin ghoul could not get out.
So the husband and wife did it again that night, and sure enough, in the middle of the night, they heard the old lady crying wolf in bed.
After dawn, the old lady didn't cry or make trouble, but moved a chair to sit under the eaves of the porch to bask in the sun, and after about half a month, the little couple thought that the old woman had finally been cured. So the daughter-in-law put the 7-month-old child in the nest on the threshing field, and wanted to go to the pond to wash vegetables and make lunch.
The daughter-in-law thinks that the old lady has not been "sick" for so long, and it should be no problem to wash the vegetables by herself. (To be continued.) )
