Chapter 9: The Yin Well
When Chen Xue and Zhang Si argued, they said that there were no children in the village, and now it seems that everyone who can go out is locked in the well room.
The temperature in the well room was low, and the children were all huddled together, and the four students in Chen Xue's class recognized her and shouted Teacher Chen, crying when they stood up, and they were about to run out.
Seeing this, Zhang Si threw away the corpse he was carrying, blocked the door with his body and yelled, "Give me all back!" ”
The little baby who walked a few steps was yelled at by him, and he didn't dare to cry, and stopped with tears in his eyes.
Zhang Si then said: "Teacher Zhang, we don't want to do this either, but there are things in the village. But don't worry, I promise that the day after tomorrow will be over, and all of these children will be alive and kicking up and down! ”
Chen Xue was soft-hearted, and when she saw her students suffering, she could agree. I couldn't push Zhang Si, so I called those students out at the door.
It's just that those children all looked at Zhang Si blankly, and they didn't dare to move without him.
During the stalemate, the fat man turned on the flashlight inside and shone an ancient well.
The ancient well looks like it is some years old, and it is paved with green bricks all around, and the mouth of the well is a whole eight-sided stone, half a meter high, like a gossip.
The fat man looked around, wiped it on the Bagua Stone with his hand, and directly scraped off a layer of frost. frowned, and said to Zhang Si: "Village chief, this is a yin well!" And the yin qi is very unstable, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive tonight with these boys and girls, if this corpse is placed here, I am afraid that no one will be able to deal with it if I inhale the yin qi! ”
When Zhang Si heard this, he was suddenly in no mood to mess with Chen Xue. Li Lin and I heard that it was a yin well, and we hurriedly grabbed Chen Xue.
There are few people in the mountains who dig wells, but in the dam, almost every house has a well.
Digging wells is also particular, and the earth is staggered under the earth, and the soil quality is also different. If it is dug in the yin ground, it will be a yin well, and if the living person drinks it, within a few days he will be seriously ill or fatal.
I heard the old man say that the mountain springs around Qingshui Village are actually Yin springs. It's just that I didn't expect that the only drinking well in their village is also a yin well!
Yin Jing is not only that the water cannot be drunk, but the most terrible thing is that the yin qi floats. In the place where yin gathers, yin and evil things flock to it, and no one knows what it will attract.
There was an incident related to the yin well in our town, there was a family asked someone to dig a well, and the result was a yin well, but fortunately the well was drilled by a master, who knew the harm of the yin well, and hurriedly filled the well.
But I don't know which link except for the mistake, the next day the family of seven died at home, everyone was yellow, mouth open, eyes protruding, all frightened.
Fortunately, the yin qi of that yin well is not heavy, otherwise the whole town will suffer.
Chen Xue is a cultural person, if we told her this when she first came, she would definitely not believe it. But after experiencing Grandma Liu's incident, after listening to me, the expression on her face also changed and changed.
Li Lin added in a low voice at this time: "Teacher Chen, those children are all boys and girls, and the yang energy on their bodies is heavy, and they can suppress the yin energy in the well inside. ”
After hearing this, Chen Xue didn't continue to make trouble and stepped aside.
Zhang Si saw that Chen Xue was not making trouble, so he turned around and pleaded with the fat man and said, "Mr. Big, for the sake of Qi Lao Dao, you have to help our village!" ”
The fat man turned off the flashlight, walked to the door and said, "Don't worry, tell me when the well began to leak yin." ”
Judging from the gossip layout at the wellhead, it is obvious that there are masters who have suppressed the yin qi inside. Otherwise, the people of Qingshui Village would not be able to live now.
Zhang Si squatted at the door, lit a cigarette, and took a few puffs before saying, "It was about four days ago, near midnight." But the Yin Qi started to rise the night before! It's midnight too! ”
I sighed in my heart, three days ago, it happened to be the time when Liu Guozhu's parents were buried, and the day before yesterday, it happened to be the point where a group of people from the Liu family entered the mountain.
Is there any connection between the two?
Although the two villages are ten miles apart, I am not guessing, because Zhang Tiande's corpse will not run to my house inexplicably.
And Grandma Liu and Uncle Liu, I'm afraid it's not as simple as chasing us.
It's just that I don't know the fat man well, and I'm hesitant to say it. After thinking about it, I still held back.
The fat man said: "The solution is very simple, either invite Ding Shilong to come, or his nephew is here, and let him light the lamp is better than you to let these children be insured here." ”
Li Lin and I stole sawdust and lamps in order to chase Grandma Liu and Uncle Liu, because the paste on their faces was the same as the one on my grandfather's face.
Let me guard the ancient well, I will definitely not be happy.
Besides, I won't light the lights either!
"No, absolutely not. No one in the Ding family can do it. Mr. Big, you're trying to figure it out! ”
Zhang Si stared at me and said like a thief.
The fat man was a little speechless, and wanted to say something, but at this time, two people came on the path at the head of the village, one tall and one short, both in suits and leather shoes, and at first glance they were not from the village.
Seeing the stranger coming, Zhang Si and the fat man both stood up, their eyes full of vigilance.
In my cognition, those who wear suits are either rich people or big officials, and Liu Guozhu wears a suit and tie every day, looking magnificent.
Both of them were young, twenty-five or sixteen. The tall ones are slightly emaciated, the cheekbones are protruding, and the short ones are a little fat. But compared to Mr. Fat Big, he still belongs to the thin one.
The two of them had straight faces, without any expression, as if they were wearing a mask.
There were still five or six steps away from us, and the two of them stopped, and the tall man said coldly: "We are Zhang Tianshi's family, come and collect the corpse!" ”
Li Lin and I knew that the surname of the dead Mr. Zhang was Zhang, and there was no need to hide this kind of thing, but Zhang Si had a bad attitude towards us, so we deliberately didn't say it.
Zhang Si suddenly became suspicious, looked at the two of them, and asked again, "Who are you?" ”
"Zhang Shuang!" Tall said.
"Zhang Lang!" The short one said.
The corpses hadn't moved inside, and they were just in the right place to be seen. The short man pointed to the corpse and said, "We are here to collect the corpse, he is from our Zhang family." ”
It is said that people are like their names, and the names of these two people are hearty, but they can't see any heartiness on their faces, and their faces are paralyzed.
Zhang Si saw that the two of them were not polite when they spoke, and his attitude also cooled down, and said: "People die on our ground, no matter how they die, we have to be responsible, we can't be a person to receive the corpse, we will give it, right?" What can be proved by the two of them? ”
Zhang Si's words were reasonable, but Zhang Shuang and Zhang Lang obviously didn't want to talk nonsense, and continued to walk forward expressionlessly.
When Chen Xue saw it, she pulled me and Li Lin to the side, and when she saw that the two of them were going to forcibly go in and move the dead body, Zhang Si stood up and stopped at the door.
At this time, the fat man, who had been beside him without speaking, suddenly pressed his hand on Zhang Si's shoulder and said, "Village Chief, let them take it away!" ”
The fat man was commissioned by Qi Laodao, who Zhang Si wanted to invite, and Zhang Si could still listen to his words. He hesitated, and staggered to get out of the way.
Wang Lang and Wang Shuang turned a blind eye to Yin Jing and the child, like machines.
When they came out, the fat man handed over the talisman that had come out of the corpse's mouth. Wang Shuang took the talisman, and the two of them carried the corpse and left directly.
It wasn't until Zhang Shuang and Zhang Lang walked away that the fat man patted the village chief on the shoulder and said, "I'll stay tonight, you go back to the village and pick five villagers with good physique, plus seven big roosters, who have just crowed, and they all come here before dark." ”
Zhang Si didn't worry about me, and before leaving, he told the fat man to take good care of me and not let me enter the well room.
As soon as Zhang Si left, the fat man squinted at me and said, "The two brothers just now came in the wrong way, and something will happen tonight." Ding family doll, will you light the lamp? ”
When I heard that something was going to happen, I was nervous and a little excited. After all, there are some things, if you blindly avoid them, you will never be able to understand the truth. I just asked if I would light the lights, and I scratched my head in embarrassment and didn't answer.
The fat man saw that I wouldn't, and asked again: "There have been so many things happen recently, and your second uncle doesn't care?" ”
Hearing that he had something to say, I didn't answer, and looked at him vigilantly. There were some things I wanted to ask, but I was also suppressed.
The fat man smiled kindly and touched my head.
After a while, Zhang Si came over with five young men and seven big roosters.
The fat man threw the rooster into the well room and said, "The rooster belongs to the yang, and the yin energy swells up at night, and one of the seven chickens should survive, and when the time comes, you can seal the yin qi with its blood talisman." ”
Zhang Si asked, "What if all seven of them die?" ”
The fat man said: "Then you can only let Ding Ning light the lamp!" ”
When Zhang Si heard this, he hurriedly said, "Then I'll go back and catch a few!" ”
The fat man said: "Seven is a mysterious number, if you can't survive any of them, it's useless for you to catch more." ”
Zhang Si also felt that the fat man was unreliable, but he didn't want me to light the lamp, so he frowned and said, "Mr. Big, if it doesn't work then, you have to say in advance, I'm going to call the children back!" ”
The fat man heard that the village chief's words questioned him, but his face was big, and he didn't see the embarrassment, so he responded very calmly: "Okay! ”
Dinner was a big pot of potatoes and a pot of chicken, and we ate outside the well house.
During this period, Chen Xue told the fat man about Grandma Liu and Uncle Liu. Zhang Si's face turned pale all of a sudden, blaming us for not saying it earlier, and then scolded: "Those beasts of the Liu family really don't know whether to live or die!" ”
Li Lin interjected and said, "Don't you just cheat the corpse, what's there to be afraid of!" ”
"Corpse?" Zhang Si hurriedly retorted and sneered: "If you had cheated the corpse, you wouldn't have died hundreds of ...... thirty years ago."
Halfway through the words, Zhang Si reacted and said that he had missed his mouth, slapped Li Lin on the back of the head with his backhand, and said angrily: "Adults talk, what are you talking about." ”
The fat man suddenly said: "Village chief, my ability can only solve tonight's matter, tomorrow at dawn, you hurry up and find someone to inform Qi Lao Dao!" ”
Fat people want to run away?
Zhang Si didn't expect the fat man to say this, he opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say...... Expressions are abundant.
But if hundreds of people really died thirty years ago, who would dare to get involved?
After October, it gets dark early, and as soon as the night gets thick, fog rises in the mountains. At first, it was blank and blank over the village, but within a few minutes, a thick fog covered the entire mountain.
I don't know if it's because I'm imaginative, or if I'm timid, but I always feel like something is approaching us in the fog.
Li Lin and I took Chen Xue's hand left and right around our necks, hid in her arms and poked our heads around.
And at this moment, the rooster in the well room suddenly crowed and fluttered. Four or five flashlights shone in at once.
I saw that the seven roosters seemed to be held down by an invisible hand, flapping their wings in place, but they couldn't leave. And in just a few seconds, a rooster fell to the ground, convulsed, and stood upright.
Immediately after the second, then the third...... In less than half a minute, all seven roosters died.
At this moment, Chen Xue suddenly roared, and the flashlight in her hand shone behind her.
The flashlight in Chen Xue's hand was brighter than ordinary, and it could penetrate a small section of fog, and the moment we turned around, we saw a black shadow flash away from the flashlight.
