In the early morning of the next day, a brand-new coffin was placed in the mud house of the master in Xiahe Village, and the word "Dien" was hung on one end of the coffin.

Several couplets are hung around the coffin, majestic.

"Do good deeds in your life, and leave a name for eternity"

"The high wind is passed on to the township, and the bright festival shows the descendants"

"Flowing water, sunset, eternal hatred, miserable wind and bitter rain for a hundred years of sorrow"

"Unforgettable Virtue, Forever Remembering Kindness"

A group of villagers dressed in white mourning clothes knelt in front of the coffin and cried out for the sky.

"Li Zhengye, you haven't married yet, why did you end up in the hands of Diao people in Shanghe Village, it's sad and lamentable!"

"Li Zhengye, why did you go, how can you leave our orphans and widows?"

"Bad fate, bad fate......"

For a while, the sky and the earth changed color, and there was all kinds of messy wailing content.

Gao Shouyi was dressed in white mourning clothes and burst into tears, he was really sad, not the fake wailing and mourning of these villagers.

Last night's wine banquet and the money from the urinal, it made his heart tremble, and he had to hold a "funeral" for happiness today, of course, he had to pay for it.

According to what Gao said last night, this is called "dealing with extraordinary people, you have to use extraordinary methods", Li Zhengye is "very", and Gao Shouyi's money is also "very".

Gao Shouyi really couldn't understand, and after being happy to receive a hoe, he asked too much, and he simply became a debt collector, so he endured it for the sake of water irrigation for his thousands of acres of fertile land.

"Dad, don't be sad, let's make a show." Gao Shibang saw Gao Shouyi crying so much, he was depressed, and his filial son would not cry like this when he was crying.

Gao Shouyi glanced at Gao Shibang, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu knew that he was making a play, but Li Zhengye spent all his money on playing, can Lao Tzu not be sad?

"Dad, Li Zhengye asked us to do the funeral again, and asked the villagers to collect urine and boil it for distillation, what is it for?"

"Where does the father know?" Gao Shouyi rolled his eyes, but after a little thought, the Li Zhengye in Xiahe Village was stupid before he was hoeed, and everything was strange after being hoeed, which was really incomprehensible.

If it weren't for the fact that Gao Shouyi was ashamed of being a hoe, I am afraid that he would not have been able to agree to be happy to make these expensive reputations.

At this moment, Li Zheng is happily lying in the coffin and sleeping, working at night and sleeping enough during the day.

……

Zhang Dazhu's heart that had been hanging for two days finally let go, and at night he specially asked his aunt to get some meat and vegetables and drink a jar of wine, and slowly hung his heart for two days.

Yesterday morning, Zhang Dazhu, who was in charge of Shanghe Village, led the villagers, and Diao Min, who was in Xiahe Village, to dry up the irrigation water source that was almost dry, and he was careful to hang his liver high for two days.

The two villages are next to each other, whose village's cattle cross the border and spoil the crops, whose village plants the crops across the border, whose village's wool is sheared or something, are all trivial and things, usually a little bit of friction for these, and even develop to the point of group fighting, but both sides have started leisurely and have never made a human life.

But yesterday, I didn't know that bastard of Donkey Day, and he actually turned the Lizheng of Xiahe Village into the mud with a hoe.

Seeing Diao Min in Xiahe Village carrying his family back to the village, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked those mothers-in-law who had married from Xiahe Village to go back to Xiahe Village to inquire about the news.

It doesn't matter if you don't inquire, when you ask, it's bad news, scared him to fidget all day, and last night he lay in bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep at all, and he almost had incontinence.

At dawn today, he asked the villagers to go into the county to inquire about the situation, and the people of Xiahe Village must have reported to the official as soon as possible, and then heard the mother-in-law who returned to the village say that Xiahe Village was doing a funeral for Lizheng, and Zhang Dazhu was directly scared to pee his pants.

The laws of the Tang Dynasty are strict, whether it is manslaughter or homicide, killing people needs to be paid for their lives, even if they are not killed, but the other party is dying in the water grabbing group beating, he is directly responsible, according to the law of Datang, the light is exiled for 3,000 miles, and the worst is the brain melon seed move.

He Zhang Dazhu has two parents and three young children waiting to be fed, if he eats a lawsuit, the five mouths in the family will count on his mother-in-law and aunt to raise him with a pair of hands, and he will have to destroy the family.

At dusk, the villagers who went to the county seat to inquire about the news came back and told him an exciting news, the county order not only drove away Gao Shibang, a villager from Xiahe Village, who reported to the official, but also did not say a word about the murder case of the water robbery group, and Zhang Dazhu's hanging heart was finally put down.

In order to celebrate the false alarm, Zhang Dazhu drank a lot at night, although Datang's wine was not intoxicating, it was also relatively speaking.

Like a traveler like Xingxing, who is used to drinking liquor of more than 50 degrees, let him drink the wine of the Tang Dynasty, it is simply the same as a drink, and there is only urine in a thousand cups.

Zhang Dazhu was a common man in the Tang Dynasty, and he was used to drinking the drinks of the Tang Dynasty, how could he practice the amount of alcohol?

The drink is also intoxicating!

The man drank too much, his eyes were drunk and dizzy, and the sow was also a sable cicada, looking at his mother-in-law who had given birth to three babies was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Zhang Dazhu looked at it and became more and more angry in his heart, and he directly pounced on his mother-in-law and aunt.

The Tang government rewards childbirth, especially men, a household has more than two men, and the government directly gives money, three, four, five, six, seven or eight, and the men are for the government, the more the merrier, and the rewards are quite rich.

The Tang Dynasty man is so sad and urging, working in the field during the day, and when it gets dark, he can make people for the reward of the government.

The mother-in-law first struggled to reprimand, and then half-pushed and half-pushed, just as the mother-in-law was about to obey Zhang Dazhu, she turned her head, and suddenly stared out the window and screamed, "Ghost! ”。

"Aunt Die, Lao Tzu hasn't started yet, what are you calling?"

Zhang Dazhu was frightened by his aunt's screams, and scolded his mother with the smell of wine.

"Kid...... His father...... Yes...... What a ghost! The mother-in-law's body and head shrunk into Zhang Dazhu's arms and trembled, but her hand pointed to the outside of Sichuan, and she didn't dare to raise her head.

"Ghosts?" Zhang Dazhu was stunned, and half of the wine on his body was scared away.

But the wine was crooked, Zhang Dazhu withdrew his pants, bare two balls of thigh meat, and snorted, "If there is really a ghost, Lao Tzu will arrest him and send him to the official tomorrow to receive the reward." ”

"What a ghost......

Following the direction of his aunt's finger, Zhang Dazhu turned his head drunkenly and looked out of the window, his pupils dilated, and he instantly fell into petrification.

I saw several ghost fires hanging in the air outside the window, swaying slowly, slowly advancing from afar, and then stopped in front of the window of his house.

"Give me back my life...... Give me back my life......"

Outside the window, there was a sudden terrible and fluttering scream, as if it came from hell, making people's teeth ache, and the sound hit Zhang Dazhu's already ghostly heart.

"Oh maa!"

Zhang Dazhu looked frightened, his bare buttocks softened, his pants and clothes were already wet, and the room suddenly emitted a smell of urine.

After all, there was a fatality in grabbing water with Xiahe Village yesterday, although Li Zheng of Xiahe Village did not die at his hands, but Zhang Dazhu already had a loss in his heart, and there were even more ghosts.

The common people in this era are simple, coupled with the low level of scientific cognition, as long as the phenomenon cannot be explained, they will be pulled on the ghosts and gods, not only the common people, but also the government and the imperial court.

Nine out of ten people believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, in the two worlds of yin and yang, in reincarnation, and in ghosts after death.

Zhang Dazhu ignored the cold buttocks, and hurriedly "poofed" and knelt outside the window, and his mother-in-law was also so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down.

The heads of the two were like chickens eating rice, and they kowtowed desperately to the window, and their heads hit the floor with a "bang" sound, which was really frightened.

"Ghost grandpa, you have a lot of adults, no, you have a lot of ghosts, the hoe yesterday was not a small one to hit your head, a small injustice!"

Zhang Dazhu cried with fear, his head was broken, and he was still knocking.

“…… I came for the water...... No water...... Insert first and then kill, chrysanthemums are not guaranteed ......"

The content of the ghost voice outside the window has changed again, although Zhang Dazhu can't understand "insert first and then kill, chrysanthemums are not guaranteed", but he understands what the ghost grandfather wants.

"Grandpa Ghost spares his life, and tomorrow morning, the little one will lead the villagers to dig up the intercepted river, and he will not dare to block the river again!"

If it weren't for the drought in Yunyang County this year, for the harvest of Shanghe Village, he would not have led the villagers to block the lower reaches of the almost dry river, so that the Xiahe Village would have been dry for more than ten days, thus provoking a human life and attracting revenge from fierce ghosts......
