The next morning, Liu Jun woke up at about the same time, the fire in the stove had been extinguished, the broom and the barrel paint, etc., all turned to ashes, Liu Jun covered his mouth and nose with a cloth, cleaned out all the ashes inside, shoveled it into the dustpan and prepared to pour it out.

Originally, the furnace ash is a good thing for plant ash and fertile fields, but the heating of cinnabar will precipitate mercury, and these furnace ashes will not only fail to fertilize the field, but also exceed the heavy metal standard. What's more, Liu Jun's family has no land, and the former stove gray willow Niang was mixed in a dung bucket and poured into the public compost pit in the village.

When the water was boiled again, some noisy sounds sounded outside the courtyard.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming." Liu Jun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly picked up the dustpan and walked out, taking out the garbage along the way.

Walking towards Zhu's house following the sound, I saw a bunch of people gathered there from a distance, gesturing, pointing, accompanied by bursts of screams and fights.

After Liu Jun came to the crowd, he tiptoed to look around, only to see that in the crowd, a woman was wearing a disheveled hair, screaming and rolling on the ground, and the voice was that Zhu Liu.

And her husband Zhu Wu, who was originally cowardly and incompetent and never dared to blush with her, was copying a broom and shouting: "I know, I know." Hit Zhu Liu's body with her head and face, and she rolled all over the ground.

And on the door of their house, there is a line of blood-red letters: Mother, return my life! There is also a small blood-red palm print at the bottom, which looks like a baby's palm for a few months.

There are five words in a line, the words are bright red, the words cry blood, the words are heart-wrenching, and the small palm print at the end is even more imaginative.

To suppress rumors, it is useless to refute rumors, you can only suppress them with more intense hot spots, and when the heat passes, no one will remember it.

For example, in the Weibo hot search in the previous life, every time an unlucky star released a new song or held a concert, he would encounter other celebrities cheating and divorcing and playing a junior, and Shengsheng covered his popularity, so that he finally had to set up an 'unlucky' character to recover some popularity.

What could be more exciting than a combination of suspense, supernatural, human, thriller and other elements?

'Mother, give me back my life', adding a small palm, can instantly make up many versions of the story in people's brains.

Who is this 'mother' referring to? It is shown on the door of Zhu Wu's family, there is only one woman in this family, does it refer to Zhu Liu's family?

Why fight back? Is it 'mother' who killed her son, and the ghost asks for his life? Why are blood handprints so small? Is it the 'baby' that was killed? The ghost baby grows up and comes to ask for his life?

Combined with Zhu Wu's words, a pregnant baby killed before marriage and found someone to take over but couldn't give birth, and now the ghost baby grows up and comes to ask for his life.

The person who was squeezed by Liu Jun turned around and saw that it was her, and he didn't even have a strange look, at most he nodded and turned his head with interest and continued to watch the big show.

Liu Jun also looked at it with great interest, but after watching it for a while, it was boring, but he was a poor person, living in this era, it is a terrible thing to be unable to have children, he will bear endless pressure, even if he can survive, even if he is strong, what is the point of 'punishing' her?

"Why provoke me? Alas......". Liu Jun sighed in his heart and turned to leave.

For the next whole day, Liu Jun was a little uncomfortable, not for this matter, but for this era, this era is so unfriendly to women, just a rumor can kill a woman.

You can't show your face, but you have to run a family, you have to do laundry and cooking, you have to go to the field to plow the fields, you can weave and sew clothes with your hands, and you can have children in your belly, which is simply a superhuman standard to demand women.

This is just a poor family, rich women are even more miserable, the door is not out of the door, blind marriage and dumb marriage interest exchange, in addition to the living conditions are a little better, it is not as good as Liu Jun now.

Why should a good person dress as a woman? Do you really want to live in this day and age? I wonder if I can wear it back when I jump into the river?

When I got home, I washed a pound of beans to grind soy milk and fried bean cakes, and climbed up to the pottery kiln from the back of the house after eating.

In order to facilitate access to the pottery kiln, so as not to take a long detour every time, yesterday Liu Jun and Li Youwei together, tied a long ladder with a few long bamboo poles, leaned on the slope and tied it tightly, and went out to the back of the house to climb to the pottery kiln on the slope.

As for the farce in front of Zhu Liu's door, it was soon over, Lang Zhong in the village came to see it, and at a glance recognized that the big characters of blood were not blood, but cinnabar, which was written on it by someone as a prank, not a haunting.

But no one paid attention to Lang Zhong's statement, even if he knew that it was a word written by cinnabar, he firmly believed that it was just a ghost baby using cinnabar to show his form, and they also asked: The word can be written, what is the matter with the small palm print?

This is to ask Liu Jun, it is a palm he pinched with mud, let the youngest son Lao Ba press it into the sand, press the palm print, and then wipe it in little by little with mud, and then cut it a small circle after drying, and it will be lifelike.

Things were just as she expected, although Lang Zhong confirmed that someone was playing a prank, but the matter still fermented, and in the evening, the news of the ghost baby asking for his life began to circulate in several nearby villages, and the details were particularly rich, as if it really happened.

For example, Zhu Liu's neighbor said that last night he vaguely heard the screams of babies and the sound of something crossing the wooden door.

Another example is the goddess Liu Shipo, who said that she watched the stars at night and found that the night sky in the west was gloomy, which was a sign that the ghost door was wide open.

Another example is Zhu Liu's concubine back then, who said that on the second day of Zhu Liu's newlywed cave room, she did not see the red and white cloth in the sun, and asked Zhu Wu, and the other party said that it was not paved and fell into bed, and everyone did not investigate it deeply, but Zhu Wu's face was not very good-looking when he spoke, so it was.

But no matter how everyone talked about it, no one connected this matter with Liu Jun, because Liu Niang was illiterate.

Everything was as she expected, the only thing that exceeded her expectations was Zhu Wu's reaction, according to Liu Niang's memory, this Zhu Wu is a very cowardly person, timid and afraid, it is rumored that Zhu Liu's has a concubine in Liuzhuang, five miles away, from time to time someone sees Zhu Liu's going in the direction of Liuzhuang, and I haven't seen Zhu Wuguan, this time he dared to use a broom to beat people?

Zhu Liu's reaction is also very strange, people who can usually be scolded by others at a glance, but now that they are beaten, they don't fight back, they just roll around with their heads, should they make this rumor crookedly?

Forget it, no matter what, as long as it doesn't get involved with himself, Liu Jun prefers to adapt to this era quietly.

Before the pottery kiln, some new things appear in the shed, whether you can improve the income of the pottery kiln, make more money to supplement protein, so as to nourish the body, depends on whether these new things can work.
