Chapter 43: Dry Bones and Bloody Clothes (7)
That year, I was twelve years old. The village www.biquge.info calm and serene, and the families get along harmoniously and without quarrels.
It wasn't until the summer of that year that two priests and a 30-year-old prisoner passed through the village to eat and rest, and the fate of the village began to take a tragic turn.
The two prisoners collected 9,000 years of money and unshackled the prisoner's hands and feet in the village, and set him free.
The prisoner called himself Jiang Da, but rumors said that it was not his real name. In order to get free houses and fields, he went to the government to report his name as a 9,000-year-old man, and soon settled in the village.
Thus began the lawless evil.
At first, he went door-to-door to collect protection money, and then in the name of being 9,000 years old, he blackmailed the village chief to deduct the grain that the peasants had worked so hard to grow, and every winter he forcibly coerced a few old women in the village to cut cotton clothes and pants for him.
Jiang Da got tired of playing Game of Thrones, so he began to plague the girls to be married in the village, some of them were defiled and threw themselves directly into the river, and some became nuns, causing the women in the village to either commit suicide or run away.
Now there are no young women in the village except for men and old women.
"And how did you die tragically?"
I...... Whining.
Daddy has been suppressed by Jiang Da because he has not paid enough food taxes for a long time.
One day, my father told me and my brother to play at home and not leave the house, and locked the door. He walked alone along the riverbank all the way north, thinking of borrowing some money from a wealthy distant relative. But the younger brother squatted in the house for a long time, feeling depressed, and kept crying and wanted to go out to play for a while.
I couldn't resist my brother, so I opened the window and pushed him out.
Who knew that Jiang Da's bully couldn't find his father, so he had to arrest his younger brother. That's when I realized why my father didn't want me to take my brother out when he was leaving.
After my brother was arrested by Jiang Da, he not only threatened my father to take away my house, but also asked us to sign a deed of sale.
Daddy couldn't bear me and my brother to be slaves for the rest of our lives, and we fought with Jiang.
The emaciated father couldn't withstand a single fist, and was finally beaten to death by Jiang Da and his lackeys.
I knelt on my side, crying out for the sky and pleading, but instead of saving my father's fragile life, Jiang Da was so angry that he pawed me to the thatched house next to me, unbuckled my trouser belt with his lackeys, and took turns to molest me.
At that time, I had no love, and my only hope before I died was to exchange my body for my brother's livelihood.
Who knew that the day after I became a ghost, I heard my brother's miserable howl in the grove, and later I heard that Jiang Da used my brother as a dog, and if he didn't obey, he beat him, and when he was red-eyed, he simply smashed my brother to death with a hoe.
When the younger brother died, there was blood all over the ground, his head was smashed to pieces, and his limbs were cut off with sharp knives.
Later, when I went to look for him at night, my thin limbs appeared in the pool of blood, and my body was gone.
Speaking of this, Xiao Yi burst into tears.
Lingsu Xue also burst into tears, and she didn't stop for a long time.
After a long time, Ling Suxue smashed her fist on the tree next to her: "Damn, God turned a blind eye to such a vicious bully." ”
"Who called him a high position in the background!" Xiao Yi choked.
"What about the high power, isn't there still an emperor!"
"The emperor is far away, so he can't care so much!"
"No, even if the emperor doesn't care about it, I will eradicate this bully!" Lingsuxue gritted her teeth.
"Ling girl, it's not as simple as you think. In the past thirteen years, many township officials have wanted to bring Jiang Da to justice, but in the end, they were all suppressed by the 9,000-year-old who covered the sky with one hand. You are a weak woman, even if you are jealous and hateful, it will only be bad for yourself. Xiao Yi's face was full of tears: "I advise you to rescue Brother Jing, just run away, don't do a tasteless struggle." Anyway, the people of the village have been accustomed to the suppression of bullies for so many years. You two strangers really shouldn't be involved! ”
Ling Suxue was sad in her heart and wanted to hug Xiaoyi, but people and ghosts had different paths, and she could only hold a bunch of air. So she looked at Xiao Yi with her eyes stubbornly: "Don't you want to see your brother?" ”
Xiao Yi's eyes were filled with pity, but his expression was hopeless: "I really want to see my brother again, but maybe he has been reincarnated." ”
"You said that if a person who dies unexpectedly rushes to the netherworld as soon as possible, he will remain in the world and become a lonely ghost."
"But after so many years, if my brother hasn't been reincarnated, why doesn't he come out to see me?" Xiao Yi said in despair.
Ling Suxue shook her head, feeling that people who died miserably should not be miserable all the time. With a bright faith, she asked, "How long will it take to go to the national capital here?" ”
"Hurry up and go to Yuanchuan for three days and three nights!"
"It turns out that your country is called Yuanchuan, I can resist the sword, several times faster than the speed of a horse, it is estimated that I can reach Yuanchuan at dawn. During the time I came back, Brother Jing asked you and your ghost friends to take care of me! With that, Ling Suxue took out the Blue Falling Moon Shadow Staff and flew away against the wind.
Xiao Yi seemed to see the gods, looked at Ling Suxue's body flying away, knelt on the ground, and after kowtowing three times in a row, he called out the ghost friend hidden in the woods.
"Everyone, hurry up and follow me to Bully's ginger house to protect someone." Xiao Yi instructed everyone.
There was a timid and scared ghost, and he cowered and said: "Jiang bully is not afraid of yin and yang, I am afraid that I will be beaten to ashes by him!" ”
"yes!" Other cowardly ghosts chimed in.
"Don't you want revenge?" Xiao Yi persuaded.
"In thirteen years, no one has touched a single hair of the ginger bully, but I am afraid that revenge is far away."
"Then you don't go, I'll go by myself!" It was not difficult for Xiao Yi to float out of the woods alone.
But there were still three kind-hearted ghosts who were not afraid of death followed: "Xiaoyi, you are not afraid, and we are even more afraid!" ”
"Thank you three." Xiao Yi said gratefully.
Then the four ghosts floated to Jiangda's hut, standing on each side, staring inside, without blinking.
Until dawn, one of the ghosts couldn't help it, floated to Xiao Yi, and pointed to the east and the white sky: "Dawn is coming, are we still standing here?" ”
"At this moment, the ginger bully is sleeping soundly, you go back to the woods first, and I will guard here alone." As she spoke, Xiao Yi took out the mushroom in her arms and turned it into an umbrella and held it in her hand.
"But the mushroom can only last for a few hours, and it is unknown when the spirit girl will come back, and it may be dangerous for you to stay outside like this."
"It's okay, you go back first, and send me mushrooms in three hours."
"Okay."
The three ghosts reluctantly returned to the forest, leaving Xiaoyi alone to stand outside the thatched hut.
After more than an hour, the sky was bright. Jiang Bai walked out of the house with a sleepy face, and after stretching a big lazy waist, he saw Xiao Yi standing at the door and laughed: "Yo! The lady said goodbye yesterday, and she can't wait to see me today? ”
Xiao Yi ignored it, and saw Jing Liqiu hanging his head unconscious inside through the crack in the door, and his heart was like a colic.
"Humph! Ignore me, I'll go to the mage and ask him to get you back to the yang! Jiang Da deliberately passed through Xiao Yi's soul, shook the shining copper coin in his hand, and swaggered towards a small Taoist temple near the village. (To be continued.) )
