Chapter 2 Yindazi
Storytelling, singing, and persuasion,
Three major roads go in the center,
Good and evil will be rewarded in the end,
The right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life.
As mentioned in the previous document, Zhang Yingshan decided to explore the ghost market of Jiming Island at night in order to save his mother.
In ancient times, the fishermen's equipment was backward, and the boat sailed on the sea by cranking the oars with bare hands, not to mention the slow speed, and the safety was also extremely poor, in order to have a good harvest for fishing, it was often necessary to drive the boat out to sea in the middle of the night, shake it to dozens of nautical miles away, and catch some fish and shrimp.
The reason why I left so early was because the voyage was too long, and I couldn't come back that night because I was late. The second is to come back early and catch up with the evening market, take the fish to the market and sell it, and exchange it for two melons and dates, which is enough for the whole family to chew grain for a day, but after all, this is also a business to eat depending on the sky, when the weather is bad, or the flood season is not right, the family will have to starve with wide eyes.
If you follow the current way of thinking, every day fish, shrimp, crabs, mountains and delicacies are served, it is a good day for princes and nobles, but after all, it is not full to eat this all day long, so it is often hungry and blue-eyed, so as the old saying goes,
- "I'd rather marry a farmer than envy a poor fisherman." ”
The mountains in the sea are called islands, which are small pieces of land scattered in the sea.
So how did this Jiming Island come about?
Fishermen go out to sea in the middle of the night all year round, there is no lack of small islands suitable for stopping boats and resting on the way, and in the long run, some people have found that on Jiming Island, every time the sky is bright, by the moonlight, you can see the island people coming and going, and the shadows are full of shadows.
But according to common sense, how could there be people on this isolated island in the middle of the night in the middle of the night, everyone thought it was very strange.
There are also many brave people among the fishermen, named Jia San, on this day he took advantage of the moonlight to go to the island to see, only to see that the houses on Jiming Island are low and scattered, there is a big road in the middle, and there are people on both sides of the road to set up stalls, it seems to be a market.
Although the streets are full of people, they are all erratic and indistinct.
It is said that the people in the market are shouting and selling, and it should be full of people, but here there is silence and silence, only the silver-gray and cool moonlight, coldly sprinkled on the stalls and pedestrians, and can't help but give people goosebumps.
There was no turning back when he opened the bow, to say that this Jia Sanye was indeed extraordinarily courageous, he tore off a piece of his shirt and tied it behind his head with a "swish", covered his mouth and nose and went on the main road of the market.
The third master took a look, and the market sold these things can be called varied, which is pearl, what is coral, gold, silver, jade, birds, beasts, scriptures, classics, mountain treasures, medicinal materials, and many things are unprecedented.
But if you look closely, the pedestrians who come and go in this market seem to be floating in the air without touching their feet, and there are no shadows under their feet, and there are sharp-beaked monkeys walking on two legs, dragging a big tail behind their backs to bargain in front of the stalls, this is actually a group of mountain spirits and ghosts!
Rao is he Jia San is bold, and he is also scared at this time, the wind is tight, and he turns around to run for his life.
At this moment, he only heard "clucking" in the distance - three loud rooster crows, Jia San looked back and saw that the sky was bright, how could there be any housing markets, there was only a reef wasteland left on the island, and there was not even half a figure.
Hence the name of Jiming Island.
Jia Sanye went home and fell seriously ill, and he left for a long time before he saw him, but the news of the ghost market on Jiming Island spread far and wide.
Turning his head, let's talk about Zhang Yingshan again, chasing the old doctor out of the door has long been missing, and said in his heart that the old doctor must be an unborn master, it seems that my mother has been saved this time!
But it was noon at this time, and the sky was bright, and I was very anxious while rejoicing.
finally got through to the dark, Zhang Yingshan was eager to save his mother, and he was about to walk out, only to hear a shout of "hey" behind him.
It turned out that his wife Xiuqing stopped him from behind, and when Zhang Yingshan turned around, an object was stuffed in his arms, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a bundle of red thread.
"This trip is dangerous, you are alone and no one answers, do not let go of the red thread tied to the bow of the boat, the other end in your hand, the dark light is blind at night, even if you follow the vine and touch the melon, you can return to the boat, more or less there is a response, not to get lost, the cinnabar soaked in the line is a thing to ward off evil spirits, and it will be able to ensure your safe return."
Zhang Yingshan was anxious, and he didn't listen carefully, he hastily put the red line in his arms, agreed indiscriminately, turned his head and walked out of the door.
When the night arrives, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the big moon shines on the land of Jiaodong like day.
As the old saying goes, the bright light is not a person, the bright moon does not walk alone, and there is no one who walks at night without encountering ghosts.
But Zhang Yingshan grew so big, he never knew that there was a word to be afraid in this world.
In a hurry, he went to the dock to drive the boat out to sea, just lowered his head and hurried away, and bumped into one head-on with a "bang".
I saw that the person in front of me was about fifty years old, well-dressed, but the style of the clothes looked very ancient, his face was pale and blue, like white paper, but only the two faces had a touch of bright red, and the cold moonlight shone on his face, revealing an indescribable grotesque and weird.
"Yo, who doesn't have long eyes, why are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated."
The man said, his two eyes stared at Zhang Yingshan, and Zhang Yingshan's heart was furious.
But because he was at fault first, he gave up his hand and said politely:
"I'm sorry old man, the younger generation is in a hurry and has no eyes under his feet, and he collided with you, so you can bear more."
"Hmph, this is like a human saying, the old man is not as knowledgeable as you." After speaking, he raised his hand and pointed, "Boy, I see that you are dressed very new, I'm afraid you just died a few days ago, right?" ”
Zhang Yingshan sighed in his heart when he heard this, what's the matter, he knew in his heart that he was not dead, this old man asked himself, could it be ......
Thinking of this section, Zhang Yingshan broke out in a cold sweat, and simply followed his words and said:
"Your old man's eyes are as wise as a torch, and the younger generation has indeed just died for three days."
Hearing this, the old man bowed slightly, and it seemed that he was expecting it.
"Then in the middle of the night, where are you going in a hurry?"
Zhang Yingshan lied and said, "The younger generation heard that there is a place in the Yinghai Sea, called Jiming Island, which is a market on the island in the middle of the night, selling everything, and I don't dare to go when I am a person, but now I want to go to see it for a long time when I die." As he spoke, he looked the old man up and down with his eyes.
"Hahahaha, it's interesting and interesting, he was timid when he was alive, but he wasn't a coward after he died!"
The old man saw that Zhang Yingshan spoke to him with great respect, and he was commensurate with his predecessors everywhere, so he couldn't help but flutter, and asked sharply:
"I happen to be going to the market too, how about you go with me?"
