Here it comes? ”

Hearing what Grandpa said, the villagers in the courtyard were a little panicked and looked around nervously.

"Xiaoxing, take it, go to the door and invite a guest to the door!" Grandpa didn't care about these villagers, but took out three sticks of incense and handed them over.

"Hey!"

I answered, took the incense and walked straight to the gate.

When I walked to the door, I lit three sticks of incense, and when the smoke rose, I rotated left three times, right three times, and then inserted the incense on the ground and shouted, "Treat yourself to the door!" ”

As soon as I went down, all the villagers in the courtyard looked at me nervously.

With my voice, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

Yellow jacket, wooden crutches, melon skin hat drooping eyes, this is an old man dressed like the last century.

"Who is this man?"

"I don't know!"

"I haven't seen it!"

As soon as the old man appeared, the villagers in the courtyard began to talk about it.

The old man looked at the villagers in the courtyard coldly, his yellow-brown eyes were full of resentment, "I'm a debt collector!" ”

The voice is very sharp, yin is not yin and yang.

At this opening, all the villagers in the courtyard extinguished the fire.

Grandpa took a sip of his cigarette holder, stepped forward slowly, and said, "Let's draw a line, how can things be done?" ”

The old man glanced at the villagers in the courtyard again, raised the crutch in his hand tremblingly, drew a big circle, included all the villagers in the courtyard, and said: "If the people of this village do not die, we will not finish!" ”

"In other words, you don't have to talk about it?" Grandpa didn't look at him, and took a puff of his cigarette holder to himself.

The old man didn't speak, and after a lot of glances at his grandfather, he said, "It's not that you can't talk!" ”

As soon as these words came out, I understood, bargaining!

"Let's open the conditions!" Grandpa understood in seconds, and there was no nonsense, and he said directly: "As long as the conditions are not excessive, I can agree on their behalf!" ”

The old man's gaze crossed his grandfather, looked at the villagers in the courtyard led by the village chief, and said gloomily: "Okay, let me tell me my conditions!" ”

He stretched out his hand clenched into a fist, stretched out a finger, and said, "First, I want this village, where every household worships our Huang family as a family protector!" ”

"I agreed to this condition for them!" Grandpa replied directly.

The villagers in the courtyard also agreed, "We agreed!" ”

In fact, this point cannot be called a condition, it is a matter of mutual benefit.

What is Bao Jia Xian?

It is a spirit that protects the safety of the house.

What people who enshrine Baojiaxian need to do is very simple, an offering table, a tablet, and an offering on the fifteenth day of every new year.

That's all.

Offering to the Baojia Immortal, the Baojia Immortal will protect the safety of the house, and at the same time protect the family, it is not harmful for the villagers to obtain incense and tribute, so they agreed so happily.

The old man was not surprised that the villagers could agree so quickly, and he raised a second finger and said, "Second, three people are sacrificed every year!" ”

"No way!"

For this article, Grandpa immediately refused.

"What do you mean by sacrificing three people?"

Some villagers didn't understand and inquired.

"It is to sacrifice people as sacrifices!" There is an explanation that I understand.

"No way!"

After understanding what the sacrifice meant, the villagers immediately refused.

Panshi Village is not big, there are more than 200 people in total, and there are no three new people in the village every year.

Agreeing to this condition is chronic suicide.

More importantly, if you agree, who will you sacrifice every year?

People are selfish, and no one wants to die in vain.

"I'm not discussing with you, I'm giving you an hour to think about it, if you don't agree to this condition, in an hour, we will go on a killing spree, and none of you will survive!"

The old man snorted coldly, slowly retreated, and disappeared into the darkness.

The moment it disappeared, the village dog barked loudly.

For a while, the barking of dogs came and went.

Since my grandfather and I entered the village, we haven't heard dogs barking, and I thought that no one in the village had dogs, but I didn't expect these dogs to explode at this time.

The barking of the dogs was continuous, and soon, the villagers realized that something was wrong.

Dogs in the countryside are basically local dogs guarding the door, and once they find that an outsider enters the village, or enters the door, they will alert their owners by barking.

But the cry was not like a reminder, but like a wail.

With the shouting, the originally dark village lit up.

The house with the dog turned on the lights first, then the house that was woken up by the dog's barking, and in less than a minute, the lights in the village were turned on.

"Hey, what? The dog died? ”

"Wife, what?"

As the lights came on, the phones of two villagers with mobile phones rang.

It was then that I realized that the barking of the dogs, which had been in one piece, was much weaker, or that it was more appropriate that the barking was disappearing.

"Okay, okay, I'll go back!"

A villager hung up his mobile phone and said to the village chief: "Village chief, something has happened to my family!" ”

"Let's go, let's go and see!" The villager immediately said.

To put it bluntly, this one didn't dare to go back by himself.

The villagers' decision was okay, and without saying a word, he took the rest of the villagers back with him.

In fact, we don't need to say it, we will follow him back.

Three minutes later, we arrived at the villager's house.

His dog died.

The dog was a black earth dog, and the dog died a terrible death, with its mouth hanging on an iron skewer, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The iron skewer was the thickness of the thumb, twenty centimeters long, nailed to the ground, and hung with an iron chain, which was used to tie the dog.

The dog, not knowing what was going on, stuck an iron skewer in his mouth and thrust himself to death.

The villager's wife was frightened and cried about the situation.

She said that she was quarreled by the barking of a dog, and as soon as she came out of the house, she saw that the dog was jumping up and banging her mouth on the iron skewer.

One by one, until you hang yourself on an iron skewer.

Before dying, the dog was still struggling.

Next, we walked a few more.

All of these families had dogs, and their dogs died.

These dogs died in different ways, some hit the kennel and killed themselves, some hung themselves on iron skewers like the dog just now, and some strangled themselves to death.

One thing these dead dogs have in common is that they all died by suicide.

Twenty minutes later, the village chief made a rough count, and all of the 28 dogs in the village committed suicide.

At this time, the two conditions mentioned by the old man before also spread throughout the village.

The villagers who knew the situation blew up all of a sudden, the first condition was okay, and they all said it was acceptable, but the second, no one accepted it.

People are selfish, and they sacrifice three times a year, so how do you choose the three sacrifices?

Also, did these three people fend for themselves on the mountain, or did the villagers do it and send them to the mountain after killing?

It's okay to fend for yourself, but if you kill it and send it to the mountain, this is a murderer and a crime.

Now is not the Republic of China a hundred years ago, the emperor is far away, and no one cares about killing someone.

In this day and age, once murder is revealed, it is a capital offense.

So, no one agreed to this condition.

In fact, I can see that the old man who came to negotiate didn't expect the villagers to agree to the second condition

The reason why he appeared to negotiate terms with the villagers was to create an atmosphere of panic.

If I'm not mistaken, these yellow-skinned people see the villagers of Panshi Village as prey.

Some hunters hunt their prey, not to eat meat, but to satisfy a certain desire in their hearts, they enjoy the feeling of chasing prey, and like to watch the prey panic when there is no way to escape.

These yellow-skinned people are probably in this mood at the moment, just like the mood they had when they were dying.

They don't just want revenge, but they also want the people of Panshi Village to live in fear all day long.

This time, if my grandfather and I hadn't come, these yellow-skinned people would not have killed all the villagers at once, they would trap the villagers in the village, and let these villagers watch their relatives die one by one, but they are helpless.

It is precisely because of this that the old man, or the old yellow skin, would put forward such a condition that the villagers could not agree to.

Realizing this, I glanced at my grandfather.

Grandpa is still the same as before, not in a hurry at all, let the villagers say a word there, I will say a word.

"Okay, don't talk about it, let's listen to Master Chen!"

In the end, it was the village chief who stopped the chaotic villagers.

All the villagers looked at Grandpa at the same time, waiting for Grandpa's decision.

Grandpa was still not in a hurry, and after taking another puff of cigarette, he raised his eyes to look at the villagers staring at him, and said, "They don't agree to the sacrifice, do they?" ”

"Disagree!"

The villagers spoke at the same time.

"If you don't agree, then come hard!" Grandpa smiled and said, "Do you agree with this?" ”

"Agreed!"

The village chief took the lead and shouted.

The rest of the villagers shouted along.

Grandpa looked coldly at the villagers who were a little crazy, knocked the cigarette pouch pot, and said, "I said ugly things in front, if it is hard, it will kill people!" ”

Speaking of this, Grandpa paused and asked, "Can you accept the dead?" ”

This time, no one said anything.

"Yes!"

Just as he was about to cool off, the village chief stood up and nodded again.

"Yes!"

With the village chief taking the lead, the rest of the villagers also followed suit.

"Alright, let's move on to the next one!"

Grandpa stretched out a finger and said, "I need two or three guides, and these guides know all the places where the yellow skin was buried!" ”

"Yes!"

The village chief nodded.

"Second, I need rooster blood, the longer the years, the better, it's better to kill the chicken and bleed now!" Grandpa said with a second finger.

"Hurry up, people with roosters hurry up and kill chickens after school, and the losses will be reimbursed by the village committee!" The village chief immediately said.

"The third point, I need three to five raw melons and eggs to go up the mountain with me!" Grandpa held out a third finger.

I haven't heard the word raw melon and eggs for a long time, and I haven't heard it since I went to school in the city.

The so-called raw melon eggs specifically refer to men who have not been broken, which is the so-called virgin.

I'm also a raw melon egg.

"It's not easy to find!"

This time, the village chief was in trouble.

There are few people in Panshi Village, and even fewer are not married.

Those who are married, basically work outside, and those who still stay in the village are not young.

There are a few young people, but at a glance, you can know that they are still dolls, how to bring this kind of up the mountain.

"It's okay if you don't, pee more boy pee for me!" Grandpa thought for a moment and said.

"That's fine!" The village chief said immediately.

"Okay, for the time being, these three o'clock, when the things are ready, go up the mountain immediately!" Grandpa said.

"Hurry up, get ready!" The village chief immediately began to arrange for people to prepare things.

Twenty minutes later, things were ready.

There are two people who go up the mountain to lead the way, one is the second child of the Wu family, and the other is the village accountant Li.

Two bottles of chicken blood were poured into it, and two bottles of boy urine were also poured into it.

Before grandpa left, he made a simple arrangement in the village.

The old man who came to negotiate before said that if there was no answer for an hour, the war would start.

Once we go up the mountain, the village is in trouble without protection.

Grandpa's arrangement is very simple, gather the villagers in the village compound, sprinkle chicken blood and pot ash around the compound, and then use a red line rope to stop it.

There is a bell tied to the rope, and when there is a wind and grass, the bell will ring the alarm.

The protection is actually very simple, in the words of grandpa, the whole village is gathered, the yang is strong, and those yellow skins dare not come.

In this case, what is most needed is someone who can speak and manage things and control the situation, so the village chief must stay.

Once you're ready, start your ascent up the mountain.

It is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a hilly area.

The mountain is just behind the village, and the people in the village call it Houshan, and if you walk it, it takes about ten minutes.

There are many graves in the back mountain, in addition to the ancestral graves of the people in the village, there are many lonely graves and wild graves, and there are all buried in them.

The ancestral graves of the village are at the foot of the mountain, and they have been connected.

Walking past the ancestral grave, lonely graves and wild graves began to appear.

A lonely grave refers to a grave bag and a tombstone, but there is no descendant's grave, and no one pays tribute to this kind of grave.

A wild grave is a grave that has only a grave bag, no tombstone, no name, and it is not known whose grave it is buried.

"In the early years, there were a lot of yellow skins in the back mountains, especially under some wild graves, and the yellow skins were all littered!"

"Later, for a while, it was said that the yellow skin could be sold for money, and everyone in the village came to beat the yellow skin, and it only took a few months to beat the yellow skin!"

"The yellow skin is evil, everyone in the village knows it, and they are afraid that they will make trouble after they die, and the people in the village who catch the yellow skin are all digging pits and peeling the skin in a unified manner, and they are all taking advantage of the fact that the yellow skin is not dead yet, and bury the yellow skin in the pit that has been dug to prevent them from coming out to take revenge!"

Accountant Li walked in with us while talking about the events of the year.

His statement is basically the same as Wu Laoer's.

"I caught more than 500 yellow skins back then, and I remember digging a total of 10 pits!" Accountant Li is still recalling the events of that year, "At that time, the village was really poor, and these yellow skins solved a very problem!" ”

Wu Lao Er shrank to the side and said nothing.

I didn't say anything, I just followed my grandfather.

To be honest, to this day, I still don't know how Grandpa solved this problem.

According to Accountant Li, the villagers of Panshi Village have caught more than 500 yellow-skinned ghosts, which means that we will face more than 500 yellow-skinned ghosts in a while.

I'm a little confused, why are there so many yellow skins here?

Also, Accountant Li's situation is a bit strange.

Going up the mountain with us to find the Huangpizi grave is a matter of nine deaths and a lifetime, everyone knows this.

Wu Lao Er was afraid that he couldn't do it, and he trembled all the way, but Accountant Li didn't, not only was he not afraid, but he was a little excited, and he introduced all the way.

This makes me curious, isn't he afraid of death?

"Master Chen, what are you going to do with those yellow skins?"

After introducing the situation, Accountant Li inadvertently asked.

"Don't worry, you'll know in a moment!" Grandpa smiled and took a puff of his cigarette.

Along the way, Grandpa basically didn't speak, just hurried to smoke a cigarette.

"Good!"

Accountant Li was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything!

"In front of you is a grave buried in yellow skin!"

After walking for another five minutes, Accountant Li pointed to the front and said.

"See!"

Grandpa paused, squinted and said.

I looked in the direction of Accountant Li's finger, but I didn't see anything.

In the middle of the night, it can be said that you can't see your fingers in the mountains.

We went into the mountains, all by flashlight.

But even if you have a flashlight, you can't see far.

There are many trees in the mountains, blocking most of the light.

I can't figure out how my grandfather saw the grave where the yellow skin was buried.

After walking forward for about twenty meters, Accountant Li stopped, shone his flashlight in front of him and said, "That's it!" ”

The place where Accountant Li took the photo was a small dirt bag, the soil bag was not big, and the height was less than half a meter.

I also shone it with a flashlight and soon noticed that something was wrong.

This small dirt bag has no grass, it is bare, and a trace of white gas can be faintly seen escaping from the grave bag.

Grandpa squinted at the grave bag, said nothing, and began to click his cigarette pouch again.

Wu Lao Er shrank behind his grandfather, his legs trembled like chaff, and his teeth began to chatter, colliding together, making a clicking sound.

Accountant Li's expression was a little strange, revealing a hint of embarrassment.

"How many people have died in your family?"

Grandpa spat out a puff of smoke rings and suddenly turned his head sideways and asked.

"Four!"

Accountant Li replied casually.

As soon as these words came out, I was shocked in my heart, this Accountant Li was wrong.

Wu Lao Er also realized it and glared at him.

Accountant Li also realized that he had slipped his mouth, looked sideways at his grandfather, and asked, "When did you find out?" ”

"I've found out since you took me into the mountains!" Grandpa said.

"You found out that you still asked me to bring you in?" Accountant Li asked with a smile.

"If you don't take me, how can I find your lair?" Grandpa asked rhetorically.

"Awesome!"

Accountant Li gave a thumbs up, took two steps back, and after a certain distance from his grandfather, he said, "Come out!" ”

As he spoke, there was a noise all around.

I took a flashlight and took a look in a circle, and found that there were a lot of bloody yellow skins on the trees around me.

They hung on the tree and looked at the three of us coldly, as if they were looking at three more dead people.

"Do you see the doorway?"

Grandpa didn't have a worried look on his face, he was still as calm as before, and after looking around, he turned to look at me and asked.

"Nope!"

I honestly shook my head, and to be honest, I really didn't see anything.
