At that time, there were no toys for children, and glass marbles were the favorite of little children.

The milk beads are high-end goods in glass marbles, milky white, with seven-colored leaves inside, and the partners want to have a bunch of milk beads on their bodies, which is awesome. Junjun brought me milk beads, but I couldn't get enough of them, and I wanted to promise him at that time.

But after thinking about it, Tong Tianwang said that Junjun was dead, and explained that I couldn't make a sound no matter what I saw or heard, could he be a ghost?

If you want to say that I am still young, but my brain is not stupid, I just gritted my teeth and said nothing.

Junjun didn't hear my response, and said below, Xiaopi, don't hide from me, come out and play, I'll give you all the milk beads. Then, I heard the sound of glass marbles touching each other, and I could no longer resist the temptation of the milk beads scratching my heart and liver, and opened my mouth to say, "I'm in the attic!" ”

"Bang!"

A huge gong sounded.

The sound of the gong was deafening, muffling out the sound of my answer.

"Old and young mothers-in-law are optimistic about their own babies, don't go out!"

The hoarse voice of the old village man came from outside the door, followed by a flurry of footsteps, and someone shouted: "Oh my God, the crazy woman has taken my Lei Lei away!" ”

It was noisy, and everyone shouted one after another, and they should all rush to the wax crossing.

I was stunned.

Lei Lei is a little older than me, and I have played house games with her, is she going to be killed by Ping's daughter-in-law?

There was no more noise downstairs, and the military probably didn't hear my reply just now, and I don't know where to run at the moment.

I don't know how long it has been, but I was worrying about Lei Lei's life and death, when I heard the door of my house creak open, and the sound of small footsteps came, as if someone was rummaging through something. The baskets and pots made violent noises, as if they had been thrown to the ground in anger.

After a while, I couldn't help but be curious, and I lay down in the slice of the attic and looked down.

It almost made me scream.

An unkempt, sleek woman, with mud and sand and aquatic plants on the Yellow River, was constantly looking for things downstairs, and the places where she stood and walked were full of water stains, and I even smelled the muddy smell of the Yellow River.

Ping's daughter-in-law!

She's coming for me!

My scalp exploded instantly, and I was so frightened that I went straight back.

This is quite a move.

Daughter-in-law Ping suddenly looked up, her vicious eyes staring straight at me through the gap in the attic slab, the corners of her mouth raised, and she let out a ghostly smile.

She looked around, and found a stout wooden stick, which was placed at the mouth of the attic, and the man, like a snake, carried the stick up the attic.

I was so frightened that I couldn't move at all, and I cried when I opened my mouth.

When Ping's daughter-in-law saw me crying, her smile became more and more exaggerated, the corners of her mouth were grinning to her ears, the speed of climbing wooden sticks began to increase, and the muddy smell of the Yellow River aquatic plants became stronger and stronger.

Seeing that she was about to go up to the mouth of the attic, all of a sudden, the strange talisman paper "Peng" that the old uncle had pasted on the edge of the attic suddenly burned, burning a blue flame, and Ping's daughter-in-law screamed "ah", and her body slipped off the wooden stick, as if her arm was burned and injured. After she fell to the ground, she glared at me fiercely with a look of eyes that were about to be stripped alive, and then she covered her arms and said viciously, rabbit cub, you can't go!

Ping's daughter-in-law flashed out of the door three times and disappeared.

When Tong Tianwang came back, I was already crying tired and fell asleep, he saw the talisman that had burned black, hurriedly picked me up, and said Xiaopi, we have to run away quickly, otherwise we will die here.

I asked him, is Lei Lei dead?

Tong Tianwang pulled a kitchen knife from the kitchen, stuffed it into his waist, and said Don't ask, Ping's daughter-in-law was injured just now, and after she recovers from her injury, you won't be able to walk anymore.

I lay on Tong Tianwang's back, only to see that he didn't even take the lantern, and the broken bicycle that he usually regarded as a treasure was gone. Tong Tianwang said that the road in the village was closed, and just now he pretended to look for Ping's daughter-in-law with the villagers, but in fact, he was touching the road, and there was a small mountain road to walk.

I was running into the mountainside, and suddenly there was a raging fire in front of me, and I saw the old village chief with a few villagers, intercepting us head-on, and one of them was a person I didn't know, in his forties, wearing an earthy blue cloth suit, sheepskin boots, a bamboo basket, and a felt hat.

The old village chief asked, "Brother-in-law of the Xie family, are you going to run away?" ”

Tong Tianwang's face changed, and he put me down: "Old village chief, I don't get involved in the affairs of your village, I want to take Xiaopi away!" ”

The old village chief treats me well on weekdays, but at this moment he has changed his fierce appearance: "The old Xie family caused trouble, so many babies died, you said you were leaving?!" ”

Tong Tianwang said: "Don't talk nonsense!" Ping's daughter-in-law is crazy and kills, what does it have to do with my brother-in-law's family? ”

The old village chief snorted coldly: "Thank you for the cake this day, it is hidden deep enough, it has been more than 30 years since I moved our village, if it weren't for this incident today, I wouldn't know that the Xie family was all dirty." ”

Tong Tianwang took a mouthful of phlegm: "Phew, you are the dirt, the big soil!" I respect you for your age, but you scold my brother-in-law's family for not being cold, don't you respect the old! ”

The old village chief looked very annoyed: "Are you still pretending to be ignorant with me?!" Tie up the two of them, sink the Yellow River, and feed Ping's daughter-in-law! ”

A few sturdy villagers with hemp ropes in their hands rushed up to tie us up.

Tong Tianwang took out the pig-killing knife from his waist, protected me behind him, and shouted: "Whoever dares to come over, I will kill him!" ”

The middle-aged man wearing a felt hat raised his hand, stopped the villagers, hugged his fist to Tong Tianwang, and opened his mouth to say: "The four flowers of the mountain gate, which cousin is it, show your hand and look at it, follow the way." ”

When Tong Tianwang heard this, his face changed slightly, but it was fleeting: "Follow your spicy next door, don't follow me all these things!" Lao Tzu Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do hasn't been stained with blood, so come and try it! ”

Hearing this, the man in the felt hat shook his head, retreated to the back, and bowed slightly to the old village chief.

The old village chief greeted with his hand, and several capable villagers rushed over.

Tong Tianwang pulled out of the stance, and was about to have a tragic fight with the villagers, but he didn't expect to be knocked unconscious by one of the villagers.

What about the bloody Jeet Kune Do?

They tied me, who was already frightened, and went straight to the wax crossing.

There were two thick pillars by the river, one tied to me and the other to my uncle, who had been knocked unconscious. The pillar stands diagonally on the edge of the Yellow River, and our bodies are suspended from the river.

I looked at the rushing waters of the Yellow River below, listened to the whining of the wind, and knew that I was about to die.

The uncle, uncle, and grandfather, who were good to me on weekdays, under the command of the man in the felt hat, held torches in their hands and put on a unique formation by the river, all showing a look of eagerness to cut my skin and eat meat.

That scene is enough for me to remember for a lifetime.

The old village chief said to me: "Xie family baby, don't blame me. If you want to blame your father, your father and mother, they are good to provoke the things in the river, Ping's daughter-in-law wants to seek revenge on your family, if you don't die, the village will be the last. ”

After speaking, he lit a thick incense candle and began to burn paper by the Yellow River.

The man in the felt hat said to the villagers, "Chickens, dogs, and cows should all go back, and in addition, take care of the old people and children in the village, and no one is allowed to come out until the sacrifice is completed."

The blazing fire by the river reflects their bizarre movements and expressions, which are indescribably weird and absurd.

Why did the old village chief say that my grandfather had been hiding in the village for more than 30 years?

Is it really a curse?

What is the relationship between the things in the river and Ping's daughter-in-law?

I thought my uncle must know something, but he was already dizzy, and I couldn't ask, so I could only cry.

After they finished worshipping the Yellow River, the man in the felt hat took out the black powder from the bamboo basket on his back and applied it to my face. I don't know what the powder was, I just thought it stenched, it was worse than, and it had a strong choking smell. He powdered my face and muttered that my fly droppings were finally working.

At that moment, I remembered his unique eyes, there was a circle of yellow marks like gold wires next to the black eyeballs, like a double pupil, looking at him, I seemed to fall into the abyss, there was an inexplicable palpitation and nothingness.

The man in the felt hat smiled at me "hehe" and whispered: "Little doll of the Xie family, after you die, go down and ask your grandfather, and ask him if he knows what the mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch mean." He's a stupid praying mantis, and my yellow-eyed rake is a pretty yellow finch. ”

After saying that, the man in the felt hat turned back to the villagers and said, "Cut down the pillar!" ”

Two villagers took axes, rounded their arms, and slashed at the pillar that bound us.
