The fat man and Lao Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard me say this. Who said it wasn't, on this night, when I encountered so many evil things, anyone who changed it would not be able to stand it, and a divine tendon had never relaxed.

The three of us felt an indescribable sense of relief in our hearts, so we walked briskly towards the platform, hoping to wait for the bus back to the city.

Because the sky has gradually brightened, there are early road officials on the side of the road, and it is on the side of the platform, I don't know what they are burning early in the morning, and we can smell the strong smell more than ten meters away.

When I got to the platform, I walked over to the road officer. Ask them where this is, not far from the nearest county seat?

When the political personnel along the way saw a passer-by asking him, they pointed to the road sign on the other side of the road and said, "This is Huangquan Road, almost 20 kilometers away from the county seat!" ”

As soon as we heard this, the three of us were taken aback, Huangquan Road? Fuck we've been going around all night, can't we have been wandering around Huangquan Road all the time? Could it be that we hung up early in the morning? The three of them stared at each other with big eyes, and they couldn't speak for a while.

At this time, the road officer seemed to see our fright, so he smiled and said: "Young man, you are outsiders, don't worry, this is not Huangquan Road in the underworld, because there is a very famous spring in front of it, named Huangquan, so this road is also called Huangquan Road." ”

When we heard this, we were relieved that it was just the same name. It seems that it must be that yesterday's 'one' reading 'novel' ybdu hit too many evil nights, so the gods are still in a tense state. "Damn, which melon baby took this name, Huangquan is nothing, but can this road be called Huangquan Road? Does this still make people dare to drive here?" muttered the fat man angrily.

The road officer said, "The young man is right, this road really shouldn't be called that." took this name, and the road was all evil, and there was a traffic accident. ”

We nodded, and people generally said that things that are taboo should be avoided as much as possible, which is taboo. Generally, when you go out to travel, you have to listen to good words, which is also called begging for auspiciousness and also known as begging for color or mouth, which is "color custom". And the national highway in front of me is good, directly named Huangquan Road, which is indeed a taboo among the people, and it will invisibly attract some negative influences. If some people with low luck drive this road, there is a real possibility that something unfavorable will happen, and it will lead all the way to the real Huangquan Road.

Folk taboos and colorful customs, strange and strange, have become customary for a long time, forming a fairly stable group consciousness. For example, during the New Year's holidays or other festive days, people are taboo to say the word "death", and if a person dies, they do not say death, but say that someone is "old".

There is still a custom of not sweeping the floor on the first day of the first lunar month, that is, avoid sweeping the floor. It is said that sweeping the floor on this day will sweep away the treasures of the house, which is unlucky. This is a kind of sustenance for people's desire to get rich. In fact, this custom was first seen in the "Sou Shen Ji", which said that in ancient times, a merchant crossed the Qingcao Lake and met a god, and the god asked him what he wanted, and the merchant said that he wanted to be wishful. The gods allowed it, exhaled Ruyi, and it turned out to be a maidservant. The merchant brought her back, and soon the family became rich. Later, when the merchant saw that the maidservant girl did not sweep the floor, he was very upset, so he became angry, scolded her and even beat her. Ruyi was beaten, very unwillingly, and got into the broom in a fit of anger. After that, the merchant's family swept the floor diligently, but the family became poorer and poorer. Therefore, people say that sweeping the floor is not satisfactory, and not sweeping the floor is satisfactory. But you can't do it without sweeping the floor every day. The first day of the first lunar month is the first day of the year, and it is believed that this day can predict the bad luck of the whole year, and the first day of the first lunar month does not sweep the floor. This was originally a legend, but later became a common custom.

There are still some taboos in various places, such as wearing straw sandals to enter other people's homes, which is regarded as a taboo. Because in the old days, straw sandals were worn when the family died or when they were funeral for their parents and brought filial piety; It is also taboo to set up a bunk in the hall and use the door panel as a bed, because in the old days, the berth in the hall was used to move the corpse of the dead, and the door panel was mostly used to carry the dead. Do not stick chopsticks in the middle of the meal when eating, because it is for the dead. If the clothes and pants are torn, they should not be worn on the body to repair the nails, saying that wearing the nails will not change, and the main worry is that they will accidentally stab the body when they repair the nails. Reading books in casinos is considered taboo because books are the same as losing, and gamblers are certainly not willing to lose.

All of this shows that people care about taboos, because they all think it is unlucky. (Actually, there are many more, because I am afraid that everyone will be idle, so I won't talk about it).

I glanced at the road sign with the words "Huangquan Road" written on the opposite side, and smiled helplessly, if I don't change the name as soon as possible, this road will definitely be unlucky.

However, this matter of changing the name of the road, we ordinary people can't change it, and we don't have such a big ability, the so-called heart is more than enough but not enough, maybe that's it.

I said thank you to the road officials and prepared to leave, but I casually asked them: "What are you burning here, it's a little pungent." ”

The road administration officer replied: "There was a car accident here yesterday, and all the people in the car died, alas! No, we came early in the morning to burn the clothes left by the dead on the side of the road, so as not to make passers-by look scary. ”

The fat man and I were immediately stunned, thinking, could it be that the ghost car we were in before came to pick up those people who had been in the car accident yesterday?

Obviously, all three of us wanted to go together. The road officer probably thought we were just scared of the accident, so he said, "Isn't it scary?" Those who died in a car accident yesterday had their clothes scattered all over the platform, and no one dared to come here to wait for the train. Alas, this road has really taken a bad name. ”

Hearing this, Lao Hu turned his head to us and asked, "Did you see the clothes scattered on this platform last night or night?" "In addition to the people on the platform yesterday, did you have any clothes?" The fat man's face was also full of horror.

Finally, the two of them looked at me together, and I thought about it carefully, and felt that it was really as the fat man said, that there was really no clothing on the ground except for the people waiting for the train on the whole platform. It is impossible not to see the bloody and dirty clothes scattered all over the platform, after all, these things are very disgusting.

I shook my head and said, "It seems that the car really came to pick up those who died in the car accident last night." ”

Lao Hu and the others shuddered fiercely, obviously afraid of what happened last night.

No matter how confused the road officer was, I said thank you immediately and hurriedly walked away.

I waited for half an hour, maybe because the time was too early, there has not been a passing bus, the only one is a long-distance bus running inter-provincial, and they will not pay attention to our wave at all.

Just as we were waiting, a small car suddenly stopped in front of us, the window fell, and a man in his forties poked his head out and asked, "Do you want to ride in the car?" Where to? ”

When we saw it, we were very happy, although what came in front of us was a "black car" soliciting customers, but there were three of us, and we were not afraid that he would be able to kill a few brothers. So we immediately stepped forward and replied: "Big brother, we are going to the nearest county seat, how much do you see?" ”

The driver man said that he wanted a hundred, although the price was a bit of a lion's mouth, but we just had to go back to the city as soon as possible, so we didn't have the heart to bargain with him, so we simply made a big head of two hundred and five wrongs, and then hurriedly got into the man's car.

As soon as we got in the car, the three of us were sleepy, because we were tired for a day and a night, and we had not rested, and the price had already been negotiated anyway, so we didn't have to worry about the general driver deliberately taking a long detour in order to make money, so the three of us quickly closed our eyes and dozed off.

In a daze, I had a very strange dream, I dreamed of the late Zhang Zhenren. In the gray fog, I saw that he was dressed in the clothes of an ancient officer, and his mouth seemed to be shouting my name, but he was far away, and he couldn't hear it clearly for a while.

So I walked towards him with vigorous steps, and when I got closer, I asked him, "Master, why are you here, aren't you the same, I was listening to what you were shouting just now, are you calling me?" ”

Zhang Zhenren scolded me with his head covered his face: "Don't call you, old man, did I deliberately run up to play?" Something that has no interest, what have you done in the past few years, your divine sense is still so weak, and I didn't react to shouting at you for so long. ”

Divine consciousness refers to the primordial spirit, or the consciousness of the soul. Generally speaking, the stronger the mana, the stronger the divine sense, and can perceive the surrounding danger information and yin and yang aura more than normal people. And it is said that the more powerful mages can still leave the body, which is what the folk call the original god out of the body. Its original spirit can travel thousands of miles at night, investigate things thousands of miles away, and go down to the underworld to enter the house, and do things in the underworld, which is very good.

And I, even Zhang Zhenren took the initiative to call me, I couldn't even notice it in time, it was indeed how bad it was, and it was no wonder that his old man would scold me.

I was embarrassed to snort and asked him how he had time to come up, how he was doing down there, and did the underworld embarrass you?

Zhang Zhenren saw that I cared about him so much, the anger on his face disappeared in an instant, and his face was full of relief, he said: "Don't worry, I'm fine down there, Lord Hades, for the sake of Master Zu, the things about saving you and violating the rules didn't make me ugly, and it also made me a ghost." You can rest assured! ”

I nodded, if it was really his old man who went down to the underworld to be punished by hell last time in order to save me, then I would really be unable to get over it in my heart, and I would never be able to let go. I said, "That's good." Master, did you come up to see me this time? ”

As soon as he asked this, his face immediately changed back to his previous anger, and his expression was full of hatred for iron. He said, "You are embarrassed to say that you have met a wicked person now, and you dare to sleep in peace." If I don't come up to you, will I wait for you to come down to me? ”

When I heard this, I was shocked and asked him who was the wicked man?

Zhang Zhenren said: "The driver who carried you is the one who wants to take your life, I wanted to approach and call you just now, but he sensed it." So I can only call you from afar. Remember, watch out for this person, his skills are not something you can match. ”

I was scared at the moment, damn it, I thought that God was tired from seeing the three of us tossing all night, so I specially arranged for a black car to drive us back to the city.

I asked him what to do.

Zhang Zhenren said that he couldn't help me, because as a prefectural official, he couldn't interfere too much in the affairs of the world, so everything had to be solved by me. However, when he left, he said: "There is a saying that a good man does not suffer immediate losses, and sometimes a little loss can turn a catastrophe into a catastrophe." Remember! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared in an instant, and I immediately woke up from my dream. Then I found that the car had stopped, and it was not parked in the county, but in a deserted meadow.

I suddenly thought of the strange dream just now, so I immediately became frightened, and hurriedly looked at the cab, wow, the driver was gone
