0001 Abandoned babies become double-headed, and the county lord stays by the river
The blood-colored morning light shone through the gaps in the peaks of the Red Camel Mountain, dappled and sprinkled on the banks of the county lord river. An elderly man was hunched on his back, leaning on a mahogany cane, his sparse beard shaking slightly in the breeze. He is the famous feng shui master Zhang Zhiye in the village, and the cousin of Zhang Zhidong, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty.
He was quietly watching a group of children laughing and playing on the shore.
Two older children fiddled with something with sticks in their hands......
Suddenly, the children let out a cry of surprise! A stunned expression followed. Sticks lift small brightly colored quilts on the beach on the shore......
Zhang Zhi also stomped his feet bitterly and said: "It's evil, it's really evil, don't you stop?!" ”
Apparently the group of children ignored the poignant warnings and continued to play.
From the concrete roads in the countryside came the brisk sound of horses' hooves, no, the hooves of donkeys.
"Calling ......"
A small donkey cart stopped beside the old man.
Mao Si rolled up the horsewhip and threw it on the car: "Isn't this Zhang Lao Immortal?" Early in the morning, what are you doing here? ”
Zhang Zhi also shook his beard excitedly, and his old voice trembled: "Look at these little beasts, do something hurtful!" Stop them! ”
Mao Si followed the direction of Zhang Lao Immortal's finger, and sure enough, he saw a few children playing by the river.
Mao Si frowned and said, "Old man, I advise you, don't be nosy?" What do people in their 100s compare with a few children? ”
Zhang Zhi's eyes widened in horror and shook his sparse beard: "These children are the dead babies of Zhang Xishun's family in the neighboring village!" ”
Mao Si suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and said in astonishment: "How do you know? ”
"You don't have to ask, it's not good for you to know too much......"
Mao Sicai felt the seriousness of the situation, and immediately drank away a few children and ran over to take a look, and sure enough, there was an unrecognizable dead baby on the shore!
This is a baby boy with two heads. One of them has a beautiful face, and the other is terrifying!
Mao Si was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he ran in front of Zhang Zhiye in three steps and two steps: "Ghost, ghost ......"
Zhang Zhiye suddenly opened his eyes, emitting a flash of light, and the sallow folds on his face trembled slightly: "People in the yang world, ghosts in the underworld, good and evil are the same body, and the county lord water!" Hurry up and bury that baby! Remember to bury it deeply! Do you recognize a few children who played with dead babies just now? ”
Mao Si thought for a while: "I know those 5 children." ”
"I have 5 pills here, you send this to their residence, inform their family, and let the child take it before the child's time."
Mao Si was confused, and wanted to ask Old Immortal Zhang what the origin of this pill was, or what diseases it could treat.
Zhang Zhi also coughed lightly, slowly turned around, and went home trembling with his mahogany crutches.
There has never been an old man over 100 years old in Huaping Village, and this old fairy Zhang Zhi also lived to be 135 years old, which is also a miracle in the local area. He is proficient in the art of feng shui, and the villagers ask the gods for divination, and the results of his predictions are surprisingly accurate, and he has been worshiped as a god in ten miles and eight towns.
Mao Si jumped on the donkey cart with 5 pills in his hand, and with a whip, he drove the cart into the village. To the south of the village is a cemetery, which is the only way to get in and out of the village.
Suddenly, the donkey roared in terror, and the donkey cart overturned in the ditch. Mao Si was thrown far away and fell to the ground fiercely.
He was out of breath, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and when he turned his head, he saw a man with pigtails, a beard, and lipstick, looking at him and laughing.
The strangely dressed person is called Qiu Zhongren. The people in the village are still very familiar with him, don't look at this person who is neither male nor female, his appearance is not good, but no one dares to offend him, and the villagers have to send him some wine and meat to pay homage to him when they hold funerals.
Qiu Zhongren is the grave keeper of the tomb in Huaping Village. Since childhood, he has been begging all the way from the south to the village. Wang Daniu and his wife, who had no children, took pity on this helpless little girl, so they adopted them as a righteous daughter, and Qiu Zhongren was swept out of the house two months later.
The villagers were very surprised and asked Wang Daniu what the reason was, Wang Daniu's face was flushed, and he shook his head again and again: "Alas...... The family is unlucky, unlucky, unlucky...... Don't ask any more! ”
There are always chivalrous "pick-up heroes" in the world. Qiu Zhongren was adopted again, and the ending was the same, but this time it was shorter, only a month, and Qiu Zhongren was once again expelled from the village and regarded as an ominous person.
Although Qiu Zhongren was born well-behaved and cute, he was a taciturn person.
Zhang Zhi also gasped when he saw Qiu Zhongren's appearance, and he told the village chief to build a house next to the cemetery at the head of the village, and in this way, Qiu Zhongren became the grave keeper of the village for 20 years.
Mao Si saw that he suddenly appeared and scared the donkey, his face turned blue with anger, and he pointed at Qiu Zhongren, wanting to scold but didn't dare to speak.
Qiu Zhongren was casual: "The fourth uncle is frightened, this miscellaneous beast must have been contaminated with the dirt in the cemetery......"
Mao Si scolded in his heart: Just you like this, whether you are a man or a woman, people can be scared half to death when they look at it, let alone a donkey!
When he spoke, he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
Qiu Zhongren's words have always been very effective, and most of the ancestral graves in the village are in this cemetery, and he takes care of them. Since he gave people a handle, Mao Si had to endure it.
Qiu Zhongren stroked the frightened donkey, very strange, this donkey was very docile.
"Fourth Uncle Mao, your donkey is a hoodoo thing, there is a blood stain on the white eyeball of its left eyeball, which appears in the eyes of the beast called the Bloody Light Disaster...... This donkey is the master, you better dispose of it. Qiu Zhongren pinched his fingers thoughtfully, nodded, and shook his head again.
"You'd better kill this animal before the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, otherwise it will be very bad for your family."
Mao smiled all around, and said in fear: "My family is just this valuable thing, if you kill it, the loss will be not small!" Zhongren, is there any other way to crack it? ”
"Yes, yes, but ......" Qiu Zhongren stared at Mao Si with strange eyes.
"Go home and cut your son's middle finger and put a few drops of blood on the donkey's right eye, and you will be able to crack this beast."
Mao Si didn't know if it was okay, and vaguely agreed, feeling uneasy in his heart.
Qiu Zhongren helped Mao Si re-set the donkey cart.
Mao Si took two kinds of vegetables from the car: "Zhongren, let's keep this for you to eat......
Qiu Zhongren smiled strangely and looked at the vegetables: "Fourth uncle, don't you know that I never eat vegetables?" I like to eat meat, especially carrion......
Behind him is a tomb as far as the eye can see! Mao's heart was about to jump out, cremation had not yet been practiced in the village, and Qiu Zhongren's words made him think about it and be terrified......
Caring about it so much, Mao Si jumped on the donkey cart in panic and fled as fast as he could, he didn't want to see this yin and yang man again.
