Chapter 42: Evil
Fu Guibao looked at the galloping horse behind him and said: "This man ran really fast, much faster than a rabbit, but he was so rude, we just let him go, he didn't even say thank you, just ran away!" ”
Li Rizhi smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for what, thank you for catching the wrong person, do you scare him?" ”
Clearing his throat, Li Rizhi raised his voice and shouted: "Horse bolt, you stand for Ben Impermanence, we found that the person who wants to be arrested is you!" ”
The horse bolted to the distance and listened to this, stumbled under his feet, almost smashed, it turned out that he did not catch the wrong person, it was he who wanted to catch himself, he was frightened, and ran faster, with the phrase running faster than a rabbit, it was not enough to praise him for his galloping at this time!
Li Rizhi turned his head and smiled at Fu Guibao: "This person is not dead, but he was treated as a dead man and was parked on the edge of the cemetery, and now it is the middle of the night, he ran back so crazy, it is estimated that he will scare his family half to death, he has to be regarded as a ghost, at least as a monster!" ”
Fu Guibao smiled: "Then he still has to be beaten, it was a monster who beat him before, and now he is treated as a monster, anyway, he found a beaten head!" ”
"The beating has something to do with looks!" Li Rizhi nodded.
The two of them talked and laughed, went back to Shangyang Academy along the original road, and went back to the house to sleep, and encountered a horse bolting in the cemetery, although it was very bizarre and even a little scary, but it didn't make them think too much, after all, there was nothing strange about this matter for the time being!
Besides, the horse was tied all the way and ran out of more than two miles in one breath, and he was so tired that he couldn't breathe, so he stopped and looked behind, the night was deep, and although the moonlight was still bright, it was impossible to see too far.
The horse couldn't be sure if the two young impermanence ghosts were chasing after him, but he was sure of one thing, that is, the farther he escaped, the safer he would be!
So, he gasped for a while, and began to run again, and his body was very good, very strong, and he ran two more miles in one breath, and then he rested again!
The horse sat on the side of the road, sweating profusely, his head still hurt, his body was a little uncomfortable, it may have been a previous injury, but after a wild run, he found that his head did not hurt anymore, and the discomfort of his body was gone, and he returned to his previous vitality.
The horse bolted and looked around, first, to see if the two young impermanence ghosts had chased after him, and secondly, to identify where he was, he was a local, even if it was deeper in the middle of the night, he could tell where he was.
When the horse bolted and found that he was not far from his hometown of Ponyville, he immediately panicked, it was not yet dawn, he could not go home, in case the two young impermanence ghosts were also brought to the house, wouldn't it be a big mess, he had to go around in a big circle, the two impermanence ghosts were dizzy, and then when the day dawned, he would go home again, and the impermanence ghosts would not come out during the day.
So, after resting for a while, the horse felt his strength regain, and he began to run again, so as not to bring the impermanence ghost home, he really used all his strength, running, stopping, and tossing until dawn, and then he gave up, dragging his tired body back to Ponyville.
Before entering the village, it was quite far away, and Ma felt that something was wrong, his home was at the east end of the village, that is, the first one next to the road into the village, and at this time his home had disappeared, leaving only a few black, almost collapsing waste walls!
The horse was shocked, could it be that his house was on fire and the house was burned down? His family is a solid family in Pony Village, with more than 100 acres of fine fields, no worries about food and clothing, and a big healthy mule at home, and the house is also neatly repaired, with three main houses and five side rooms, which is definitely a wealthy family in Pony Village.
The horse ran to the burned house, saw the mess all over the ground, the house was gone, I don't know if my father and mother are okay, I don't know if my daughter-in-law is injured, why is the person gone, is it burned to death?
He almost died, and was chased by ghosts, but when he finally returned home, his home was gone, and his relatives were gone, and Ma Bolted himself to the most unlucky man in Ponyville Village, and he sat down on the ground and began to cry.
As soon as he cried a few times, the door of the neighbor's house opened, and the neighbor shouted: "Bolt, why did you come back, aren't you dead, this broad daylight, you dare to come back to see your father, be careful of being burned to death by the sun!" ”
In this era, superstitious people believed that ghosts could not see the sun, and they would be burned to death when they saw the sun, and the horses were usually very filial and treated the villagers kindly, so even if they were ghosts, they would go home to visit their parents and mothers, and they would not come to harm people.
The neighbor kindly reminded Ma to bolt a sentence, afraid that he would be burned to death by the sun, but when he thought that the ghost was a person who had already died, he naturally couldn't die again, so he hurriedly said: "Be careful that your soul is burned by the sun, and you can't be reincarnated!" ”
"The bolt is back, where is the bolt?" An old man appeared behind the neighbor, and an old lady squeezed over, and they were Ma Lian's parents, Ma Lao Han and Aunt Ma.
When Ma Bolted to see his father and mother, he stopped crying, and quickly got up, pounced forward, and shouted: "Daddy, I was captured by the impermanence ghosts, but before I reached the underworld, those two impermanence ghosts found out that they had caught the wrong person, so they released me back, so I lived again." If you don't believe it, Daddy, look at the ground, I have a shadow! ”
Ma Laohan and Aunt Ma looked at the ground, and sure enough, their son had a shadow, that is, a human being and not a ghost, which showed that the son was not dead!
The Ma family immediately hugged their son and cried, they were really surprised and delighted, and the neighbor also saw the shadow of the bolt and asked, "The impermanence ghost caught the wrong person?" Is it black and white impermanence, and the evil ghosts of the underworld sometimes catch the wrong person? ”
Ma tied up and wiped his tears, and said: "It's two children who are impermanent, maybe because of their young age, so they are too sloppy, and even the wrong person is caught, which scares me so much!" ”
He looked behind his neighbor again and said strangely: "What about my daughter-in-law, why didn't Gui Niang see her come out?" She, she couldn't have been burned to death, was she? ”
The thought that his daughter-in-law might be burned to death by the fire, this time the horse was tied to the sad, his daughter-in-law was the most neat woman in the nearby villages, and his family had five acres of good land as a gift, so he married her home, if he was burned to death, of course he would be very sad.
Ma Laohan sighed and said: "Gui Niang was not burned to death, but it is better to be burned to death, at least if she dies, she will not have to suffer alive, and she will have a lot less suffering!" ”
"W-what the hell is going on?" Horse bolt pillar hurried.
The neighbor advised: "Don't stand at the door and talk, go into the house, drink some hot water, and speak slowly, I'll get you food." With that, he let the three members of the Ma family into the house.
As soon as they cried at the door, everyone in the village knew about it, and they came to see the excitement one after another, asking questions and asking questions, and even some people came with rice bowls, squatting at the door of the neighbor's house, and even pulling rice into their mouths, while watching the excitement.
After entering the house, Ma Tie first poured a stomach of cold water, and then hurriedly asked Ma Laohan what happened, so far, Ma Laohan has not said a clear story.
When Ma Laohan heard his son's question, he sighed and said, "Alas, this thing is really evil, too evil!" ”
The horse is in a hurry, but the old man Ma just can't say a word, so he will sigh, or Aunt Ma said angrily: "Bolt you stupid baby, your father is the kind of wretch who can't kick a fart, you ask him what to do, or let my mother tell you!" ”
Aunt Ma spoke quickly and told what happened, in fact, it was very simple, that is, the horse was tied to the coffin and sent to the cemetery to rest the mortuary, but when Ma Laohan and Aunt Ma went home, they found that the house was on fire, and the fire burned the house.
Because it was a fire during the day, the villagers all went to work in the field, and they didn't have time to put out the fire, and when the villagers rushed back, they could only cut off the fire so that the fire would not spread to the neighbors' houses.
Ma Laohan and Aunt Ma have nowhere to go, they can only borrow from the neighbor's house, although his family has suffered a large loss, but he still has the strength to build a house, no matter what, his family's land has not moved, as long as there is a field property, there is a stable income, and it is not impossible to save money and food to build a new house.
It's as simple as that, and it's over in a few words, but everyone is very strange, how can the Ma family's house catch fire, and it's still on fire in broad daylight, and his stove is not lit at all, and even if it's on fire, it won't burn down the entire house at once, and it's too late to even put out the fire, isn't this evil!
The neighbor boiled some porridge and brought it over, and let the three members of the Ma family eat the porridge, he asked: "Look at the urgency of the bolt like this, I want to ask about your daughter-in-law, your daughter-in-law may have been captured by a monster, and I don't know if she lives or dies, but fortunately, you are back, maybe wait a little longer, your daughter-in-law can also come back!" ”
As for the affairs of the Ma family, the neighbors live close to each other, and they can know a little bit, but the other villagers don't know, a few villagers who usually have a good relationship with Ma Laohan also entered the house, they all know Ma Laohan's character, and they don't ask him, they just ask Aunt Ma and ask her to make her clear, so that everyone can help find a way, come up with ideas, and avoid this evil disaster.
Aunt Ma was right when she heard it, so she told the cause and effect of this disaster, and she insisted that it was a monster, even if it was not a monster, it was a demon!
Ma Bolt's family is a rich family in Pony Village, and his life is comfortable, but Ma Bolt's heart is higher than the sky, and he always wants to marry a beautiful wife, but he doesn't fancy anyone from the village's family, and his family can't afford to marry the eldest lady, so when he is eighteen years old, this marriage has not been decided.
Coincidentally, at a temple fair, Ma bolted and fell in love with a girl, this girl looked quite beautiful, but in the eyes of the Zhuang family, it was very beautiful, Ma bolted his eyes and looked straight, thinking that this girl was his favorite look, and looking at the dress, the family did not seem to be rich, he should be able to marry.
After returning home from the temple fair, Ma Bolted and told his mother Aunt Ma, and said what the girl looked like, Aunt Ma inquired around, and finally had to inquire about the specific news, this girl is from Xiaoli Village, named Li Guiniang, not only has many sisters in the family, but also is very poor.
