Mu Chun and I hid behind the tree and watched secretly, and the old man sat there, smoking with a solemn face.
I secretly took a few photos of him with my mobile phone, and the sky was dark, and we suddenly passed the night.
The old man finally moved, and he went into the stone house, and in a short time, smoke came from the chimney, and he should have begun to cook,
Mu Chun and I looked at each other, Mu Chun discussed with me, are you still staring here,
I don't think it's necessary, I know the old nest of this old thing, let's talk about it later, now I'm anxious, I want to go home and see what's going on,
We briefly agreed and prepared to go back, Mu Chun was in charge of marking along the road, he was very careful, taking pictures and videos as he went, recording the most significant road signs,
We went around and around, and finally went out of the mountains, went down the dirt road, and arrived at a village.
Wujiatun is far away from our village, and it takes about 20 minutes to take a small bus.
Mu Chun and I came to the bus station to go back, and saw the sign that it was written, a car in half an hour, and the last car just left, a little bit of a real back,
Mu Chun is really hard, and he walks around the mountains with me at night, in fact, he can ignore this matter, I don't want to go, I propose to go to eat some food first,
I didn't sleep much one night, and I climbed the mountain, and the people who beat the iron couldn't stand it, we came to the entrance of the village, there was a breakfast shop that sold steamed buns, went in and ordered a drawer of steamed buns, asked for two bowls of millet porridge, served side dishes, and we ate wolf,
While eating, two villagers were also eating breakfast next to him, and one of them said, "Have you heard, Mrs. Wu's grave has been dug up?"
"I heard that the word spread in ten miles and eight villages, saying that the grave was dug by a single person, and I don't know if it's true or not, and there are many strange things these days," another said,
Mu Chun took a sip of porridge, touched me, and motioned for me to listen,
The two villagers laughed while talking, probably meaning that Mrs. Wu's grave was also moved, which was really a big and rare thing.
Mu Chun said in a low voice: "The old lady Wu they are talking about, could it be the Chen Men Wu family,"
I suddenly came to the spirit, this old lady of Chenmen Wu is the evil ghost who possessed my mother,
Mu Chun snapped his fingers at the counter: "Boss, two more tea eggs and a side dish,"
"I can't eat it," I said.
Mu Chun glared at me: "It's not for you to eat,"
The female boss came over with tea eggs and side dishes, Mu Chun took them to the adjacent table and put them on the table: "Two big brothers, okay,"
When the two villagers saw it, they hurriedly said, "Yo, what are you talking about?"
Mu Chun beckoned me over, I also had a good eye, took out a cigarette and handed it to two people to smoke, the two villagers were a little confused, hesitated for a moment, or took the cigarette,
Mu Chun said: "I just heard the two eldest brothers say that Mrs. Wu's grave was dug up, what is this Mrs. Wu doing?"
"What are you doing," one villager asked,
Mu Chun said: "We are all college students, see him no," he pointed at me: "He wrote on the Internet when he was fine, he was a writer, collecting materials everywhere, I heard what you said about the grave just now, I was very interested, come and inquire,"
A villager laughed: "That's the case, my kid is okay to hold his mobile phone and look at it, what he reads is the Internet you wrote, how can you make it up so blindly,"
I hurriedly pulled the topic back and humbly asked: "Two big brothers, who are you talking about Mrs. Wu?"
The villager smoked a cigarette and said: "Mrs. Wu is a celebrity in our village, she only has a surname, I don't know what her name is, this old lady is a legend, she died in the nineties, and now she is twenty years younger, do you know how old she lived?"
"How old," I asked,
"Eighty years old," the villager said: "This old lady was a child daughter-in-law when she was a child, and it is said that she later went to Shanghai as a dancer, and then she was favored by a big official, and received the back room to the aunt's wife, before liberation, the big official went to Taiwan, and threw the whole family away, and she was sold to a brothel as a kiln sister, so to speak, the old lady has not lost money in this life, and the men who have been on it are not one hundred but eighty, from the rich to the fritters and leather shoes, they all have one leg,"
Mu Chun and I looked at each other, and we couldn't figure out whether what we said was true, but one thing was certain, this old lady Wu didn't have a good reputation in Wujia Village.
"After the liberation, the old lady was arrested and sent to re-education through labor, to support the northwest, said that it was to be the wife of an old cadre of a corps over there, anyway, it was a mess, I heard the old people say, in the early sixties, she went back to the village alone, how she spent so many years outside, no one knows, after coming back, she was introduced by the matchmaker to Chen Carpenter Chen in Chenjia Village as his wife, this Chen carpenter's original wife died, leaving a demented and stupid son, Mrs. Wu married to Chenjia Village, and served the stupid son after serving the man, the stupid son is said to be a martial madman, At every turn, she copied a kitchen knife to cut people, and her parents didn't admit it, it really hurt her,"
Only then did I understand how the so-called Chen Men Wu family came about, the old lady Wu married a carpenter surnamed Chen,
Speaking of which, the villagers didn't say anything, we were listening with relish, Mu Chun said: "Then what,"
The villager spat out the smoke ring and said with a mysterious expression: "Then you can't guess what happened,"
I was impatient, this person really has a talent for storytelling, and when it comes to the critical moment, he will sell off, I asked: "What's the matter, Carpenter Chen is dead,"
The two villagers looked at each other, and the villager who told the story slapped the table: "Young man, it's okay, no wonder it's a story, I can't hide it from you,"
He said: "It's not bad at all, Carpenter Chen died of a sudden illness, and vomited several liters of blood at that time. Blood, it was useless to push it to the county hospital with a small cart, at that time the red wave began, all the capable doctors in the hospital drilled the cowshed, and the rest were just graduated raw melons and eggs, not to mention vomiting blood, even the cold they couldn't cure, Carpenter Chen died in the aisle of the hospital, the worst thing was the stupid son,"
He paused and said, "This matter has been passed down in our village for decades, and children don't dare to cry at night when they talk about it,"
"What," I made a modest gesture and pulled out my phone to record,
The villagers' self-esteem was greatly satisfied, he said: "I haven't seen this thing, I was not born at that time, I heard the old people say, after the death of Carpenter Chen, Mrs. Wu couldn't live in Chenjia Village, and returned to our Wujiatun with a stupid son, one night, lightning and thunder and heavy rain, Mrs. Wu ran to the village chief's house to knock on the door, saying that her son was lost, the village chief found a militia officer, and some village intellectuals, a group of heavy rainy days were flashlights and torches, looking everywhere, and finally found a stupid son, Guess where you looked,"
"Where," I patiently praised him, and I thought to myself, if he did it again, I would have to smash the tea egg in his face.
The villagers said: "There is a warehouse transformed by the ancestral hall in the east of the village, no one dared to worship the ancestors at that time, the ancestral hall was not picked up, it was full of things as a warehouse, when the village chief pushed the door into this way, the stupid son died in the ancestral hall, the death was particularly strange, he was hanging on the beam, but not hanging, hanging was a neck rope, how did he die, the rope lassoed his cow, the whole person hung in the air,"
Mu Chun was dumbfounded when he heard it: "Is this possible, it can't be broken,"
The villagers giggled: "Who knows, you can try it when you go home, and when you untie him down, the person is already dead, and the cattle are all black?" of, dragged by the old man,"
Mu Chun muttered: "The way of death is strange enough, can you be sure that he committed suicide?"
"It's been so many years, and no murderers have been caught at that time, and who cares if you die a fool," the villager said.
"And then," I asked,
The villagers said: "Then the ten years passed, Mrs. Wu was also old, the older she was, the more crazy she became, a person chattered all day long, and then in the eighties and nineties, the ancestral hall was cleaned up again, and Mrs. Wu ran to the ancestral hall when she saw the sky, and burned incense and kowtowed to the beams of the house, and came to a Taoist priest, not to say that Mrs. Wu was a Niangniang Bodhisattva possessed by the spirit,"
"The Taoist priest said that she was a bodhisattva manifestation," Mu Chun said, "Isn't the bodhisattva a Buddhist?"
The villagers said: "Either say it is feudal superstition, who understands this at that time, the village people cleaned up the ancestral hall, re-molded the Bodhisattva statue, Mrs. Wu named the ancestral hall, called the smallpox palace, she became the mother of the smallpox palace, at that time she was particularly hot, there was a homemade fairy water, able to cure diseases, came to seek medical treatment in an endless stream, the incense was prosperous, thousands of people came in one day, and then the above heard about it, the trouble was too big, came to ban it, and then the old lady Wu died,"
Another villager said: "The old lady is sitting, I heard my mother say, the day she died, there were people in the village who understood that such a corpse was ominous and was going to be burned, but the Taoist priest came again, saying that the old lady must be buried in order to protect the township and ensure safety, everyone believed his words, at that time the reputation of the smallpox palace Niangniang was too loud, and cremation was not popular at that time, and they all felt that it was an insult to burn the corpse, and then they were buried,"
He paused and said: "After the burial, the village has not been born in peace, every year or two there will be something, either someone died, or there was a big drought in the village, although everyone didn't say anything, but I always felt that there was something wrong with Mrs. Wu's body, fortunately, the Taoist priest of Youfang came to the village every once in a while to help everyone solve the problem,"
"He was so kind," I said,
The villagers spitted: "What a fart, he came to ask for money, not only for money, but also for good food and drink,"
