Chapter 115: The Past of the Village
I didn't expect Silly Hai to mention the origin of that corpse. In my opinion, Silly Hai is tight-lipped, from the old road of the Huyang River to the trapping of the new city this time, he did not involve any important issues when he talked to me, and he said a lot of things, all of which were inconsequential gossip.
So what did he mean by suddenly mentioning this corpse?
"If I knew the origin of that corpse, I wouldn't be so curious, let alone be arrested by Zhao Sanyuan." I asked Silly Hai: "What do you mean by saying that corpse is a hoodoo thing?" ”
"As soon as he appeared, it was disturbing and brought disaster." Silly Hai said seriously: "You know what? The first place where the body was found was in our village. ”
"Is it our village?" I paused for a moment, but quickly realized that although the cave behind the corpse was located in the depths of the mountain, if you calculated it carefully, the nearest populated place was our village.
"That's right, it's our village."
What Silly Hai said happened a long time ago, at that time, there was no me and Silly Hai.
At that time, the people in the village made a living from farming. Although our family has been running a small antique shop for generations, due to the limited environment, the small shop has long since ceased to exist, and my father was also farming in the village at that time, and I probably know these things.
One winter, the snow was very heavy, and there was not much work in the fields in winter, so every household prepared cabbage and radish and other vegetables for the winter in advance, and went back and forth to the mountains when they had nothing to do.
Just after a heavy snowfall, every house is clearing the snow at the door. Someone inadvertently said that yesterday I had a dream and dreamed of a person in colorful clothes, floating around in the dream, which was quite scary.
As soon as this man said this, he was immediately echoed by the others, and several neighbors said that they had such a dream last night. The village spread the word from one to the other, and the final result was that the whole village had such a dream.
"Is there such a thing?" I don't know if what Silly Hai said is true or false, when I first met Lao Wang and them, I thought that four people had the same dream, which was already a very paradoxical thing, but the people of a whole village would have the same dream at the same time?
"Yes." Silly Hai nodded affirmatively.
At first, people didn't take this dream too seriously, but on the second day, the third day, the villagers still had the same dream, dreaming of the man in the colorful clothes. Moreover, the dream became more and more detailed and realistic, and they dreamed that the man in the colorful clothes, floating around, suddenly fell into a black swamp.
At that time, people in the countryside were somewhat conservative and feudal in their thinking, and people thought that it was not a good sign to have such dreams one after another.
In the end, it was Lu Fangding who was the first to come forward and suggested that this matter be investigated. Because the people who had this dream were the people in our village, and the people in the neighboring villages were so good, no one had ever dreamed like this. Lu Fangding was very knowledgeable in the village at that time, and he felt that since this was the case, then it must be that something was wrong with our village itself.
Lu Fangding said this, in fact, many villagers don't want to cause trouble, and the villagers are quite taboo about this kind of godly chatter, for fear of causing even more trouble. At that time, only Silly Hai's father was willing to follow Lu Fangding to find it, and Silly Hai's family and Lu Fangding seemed to be a little close, and Lu Fangding's person couldn't get along with many people, but he had always taken care of Silly Hai's family.
Lu Fangding wanted to find out the root of the strange dream, but no one responded. The matter dragged on for the time being, but after another two or three days, the situation became more serious, and the villagers were still dreaming the same dream, but the content of the dream had changed. They dreamed that the man in the dream was lying in the dark and sloppy mire, dying, and he had him rescued.
The dream lasted for two days, and the villagers were even more frightened and afraid to act rashly. Immediately, several children in the village who were relatively weak fell into evil spirits, and an old man in his eighties died in a dream.
Those families who had an accident at home panicked, and specially invited a big immortal from outside. To be honest, some of the great immortals of that year may indeed have some outstanding features, but more of them are charlatans. The invited Daisen walked around the village, and then said a series of things that no one could understand, and the general meaning was that things were not easy to do.
In the end, those who had an accident at home pooled some money together and asked Daxian to resolve the disaster. Daxian accepted the money, and he patted his chest and promised that this matter would definitely be solved.
Daxian specially set up an altar to say that things had to be done overnight, so that the big guys could go back to sleep, and no one could come out at night.
"That great immortal is a liar." When Silly Hai said this, he smiled slightly and said, "He may have thought about escaping at night." ”
The people in the village listened to Daxian's words and stayed at home honestly at night. But that night, the people had the same dream, they dreamed of the man lying in the mire, his face was ugly, and his expression was hideous.
At dawn the next day, after the villagers went out, they saw the great immortal kneeling in front of the altar, almost frozen. In the end, the villagers wiped his body with snow, and he slowly warmed up before he woke up.
After waking up, people found that something was wrong with Daxian, obviously crazy, and several strong men couldn't drag it. After going crazy, Daisen rushed out of the village and never appeared again.
After this incident, everyone was scared, but there were also some people who felt that if they didn't find a way to solve it, then things would definitely get worse and worse, and maybe it would affect the villagers of a village.
Lu Fangding's proposal was shelved for several days, and finally got a response from some people. They began to look around the village to see what was wrong.
About a kilometre from the village, there is an abandoned cowshed. At that time, there were very few machinery for farming, and cattle were needed to cultivate the land, and the cattle in the village were public, and there were special people who were responsible for raising and guarding them. Because the cowshed is far away from the village, it is not very convenient, and later a new cowshed was built directly close to the edge of the village, and the old cowshed was abandoned, and no one will come all year round.
It was next to this abandoned cowshed that there was a mud pit mixed with cow dung, and the temperature was so low in winter that the mud pit was frozen, and when the villagers found it, they found a man lying in the mud pit.
When they found this person, people's eyes were straightened, because they all recognized this person as the person they saw in their dreams.
This man must have been lying in the mud pit for days, and he was not dead on such a cold day. No one knows what to do, the matter is obvious, maybe there have been accidents in the village during this time, all of which are related to this person, and no one dares to deal with this person casually. After discussing for a long time, they temporarily carried the man to an empty room in the village.
Silly Hai must have heard these things before, but he hadn't experienced them himself. However, based on his account, I guessed it in my heart. That person is the top master of Banda Jue, definitely not comparable to people like Xiao Mao, the cowshed is so far away from the village, he can even affect the people of an entire village.
After the man was carried back to the village, it didn't take long for him to wake up. At that time, some people thought that the origin of this man was a mystery, but since he had his eyes on our village, he must have his purpose. No one wants their village to be restless all day long, so the villagers want to negotiate with the other party to see what the other party's purpose and conditions are.
The proposal to find this person was put forward by Lu Fangding, so the person in charge of negotiating was also Lu Fangding. Lu Fangding met with that person alone, and no one knew what they said. After Lu Fangding came out, others asked him, but he didn't say anything. But this matter concerns everyone in the village, and the children who had an accident have not yet returned to normal, so a group of people surrounded Lu and asked questions.
asked in a hurry, and Lu Fangding told them that there was no way to agree to the conditions proposed by this person.
Then, something happened, Silly Hai's father suddenly went out of the house, and some domestic animals and poultry in the village began to die inexplicably, and many people have seen that those poultry and livestock that have died will still keep squirming on the ground. A few evil children did not get better, on the contrary, a few children committed strange diseases one after another.
In the end, no one could stand it, and a few people in the village who could be the masters of the house came to Lu Fangding to discuss, but Lu Fangding refused to speak.
At that time, in addition to Lu Fangding, my father was also a person who was valued by the villagers, because he was well-read and educated, but he didn't like to do much and basically didn't express his opinions. These villagers talked to my father, and no one knew what they were talking about.
Lu Fangding saw that my father might have expressed his opinion, and he immediately found those villagers, and the conversation between them was also a mystery.
Immediately after, the man who had been carried back from the side of the cowshed died, and no one knew how. Someone secretly guessed that it was Lu Fangding who came up with the idea and killed the man.
But this kind of thing can't be said nonsense without real evidence, and even if it is said, Lu Fangding will definitely not admit it.
After that person died, the people in the village reached a consensus that this matter must not be spread to the outside world, let alone the people in the neighboring village, even their own children, they should not let them know. When the older generation is dead, this incident will be equivalent to not happening, and it will be completely forgotten.
That person's body was disposed of by Lu Fangding, no one asked, no matter whether it was burned or buried, as long as there was no more trouble in the village, everyone would burn high incense.
After listening to Silly Hai's narration, I can't tell the truth from the fake for the time being. But there is one thing I can almost confirm. Lu Fangding must have had an in-depth communication with that person.
People in ancient travel know that Lu Fangding started with a dzi back then. Lu Fangding is in the village, how can there be a dzi? There is no doubt that his dzi was probably obtained from that man's hands.
