The wind rose at night, the night in the mountains came very early, all around were quiet, from time to time there were birds and sparrows who did not know the name to wake up the sleeping beasts, snoring, tearing apart the loneliness of the night, at this time I vaguely saw someone walking towards the "cemetery", they used flashlights to shine around while walking, as if looking for something?

At this time, someone whispered, "Is this the place where you bet with him?" ”

One of them replied in a rough voice, "Yes!" Definitely here, yes", who are they? It turned out to be from Xiaoyangzhuang Village.

This village is not big, it sits in the east and faces west, there are two streets, the village is more than 100 meters wide left and right, more than 200 meters long, there are about more than 200 people, there are three surnames: "Dong, Li, Wang", among which the surname Wang has the largest population, the surname Dong is second, the surname Li is second, in the middle of the village, there is a temple in the south, there are three big houses, the temple gate faces south, as soon as you enter the temple gate, you can see that the middle is enshrined: "Taishang Laojun", there are golden boys and jade girls on both sides, and there are some gods such as Tai Bai Xing to the left; Generally, after a festival, there are people here to burn incense on the first and fifteenth days of the new year.

"The first two days were the first day of the third month, and my sister and her mother (my aunt) came to burn incense for Taishang Laojun."

Speaking of Xiaoying, who always came to the temple to "burn incense" for Taishang Laojun, is there another story? I heard Dong Fei's grandmother say: "A few days before Xiaoying was born, Xiaoying's mother dreamed that Taishang Laojun drove the clouds to the sky above her house, with a dazzling golden light on her body, a little boy standing on the left, and a virgin kneeling in front of her. Go through the world once, eliminate evil and protect your neighbors. If you want to cause trouble, you will not forgive the teacher. The marriage line is coming, and the heart grass is empty.

After saying that, the virgin floated down to the side of the aunt (Xiaoying's mother), and then looked at the Taishang Laojun, the golden light flashed and disappeared, the aunt was happy, took the hand of the jade girl, and the excitement woke up; After waking up, I felt sick to my stomach, and I gave birth to Xiaoying that night, and the people in the village said: "Xiaoying is the jade girl next to Taishang Laojun."

Xiaoying was very smart when he was three years old, he laughed first and then talked when he saw someone, and there was a boy who played with Xiaoying that was Dong Fei, and he had a big brother named Dong Peng on top of him, he was more than three years older than Xiaoying, so this kid was bad? Since childhood, I love to fight with others, and others are burning incense and worshiping God in the temple during the Spring Festival, this kid not only does not worship, but always touches the face of the jade girl in the temple, and some old people can't look at him and say: "This god can't be touched."

Xiaoying grew up to 6 years old, suddenly got a serious illness, went to many hospitals and didn't look good, and then heard that Xiaoying was optimistic in the Taoist temple on the mountain, and somehow Xiaoying worshipped the female Taoist aunt as a teacher. After Dong Fei heard the news, he gathered all the children in the village together, including: Dong Dazhuang, Erzhuang, Wang Fushun, Wang Fugen, Li Ercun, Li Zheng, etc., there were more than a dozen people.

He climbed up the tree by himself, supported the tree skill with one hand, and raised the other hand with a milk cavity and said: "Brothers, my sister Xiaoying asked that stinky Taoist aunt on the mountain to close the mountain, we must ask her to come down."

Dong Dazhuang was the first to agree, and learned on TV below: "The second brother must save Xiaoying from the mountain, and the other children also shouted; Later, because of this incident, Xiaoying's master agreed to let Xiaoying go home once a month for a few days."

Now that they have grown up, Dong Fei is 20 years old, Da Zhuang is the same age as Dong Fei, but he is a few months younger than Dong Fei, because Dong Fei is the second oldest, and now everyone younger than the second brother in the village calls him the second brother, Xiaoying is also 17 years old today, the longer she grows, the better she looks, and she is very sensible; Now I have returned from the mountain school. I heard that with the help of her master, she practiced yin and yang eyes, and also learned non-Taoist techniques and medical skills.

This is what happened tonight, at noon, Dong Dazhuang was okay with the people in the village in the grove in the south of the village to cool off, everyone inadvertently talked about who is not afraid of ghosts, Da Zhuang was the first to be unconvinced, stood up and patted his little chest and said: "If you want to say who has the most courage in our village, then there is no second one except me; Everyone pursed their lips when they heard this, and when they saw Da Zhuang's stubbornness, they all laughed again; Among them is Wang Fushun, the third child of the Wang family, Wang Laosan thought in his heart, I don't believe it, just count you bold? ”。

Thinking of this, Wang Fushun squinted at Da Zhuang and stood up: "Da Zhuang, I didn't say you, you didn't take care of yourself, you said you were bold, and I said I was bold?" ”

Da Zhuang was originally very happy, but when he heard this, his face fell: "Wang Laosan, it seems that you are not convinced, otherwise, let's make a bet."

Wang Fushun is a quick temper, and when he heard someone talk to him, of course he was not convinced: "Bet on it, what do you say to bet!" ”。

Da Zhuang pouted and said, "You know, there is a cemetery in the northeast corner of our village, wasn't the left five roots of Zhao Village dead in the previous paragraph?" Let's compare at twelve o'clock in the evening, who dares to insert a peach wood 'peg' in the grave of the fifth root on the left."

We have a rumor that if anyone puts a mahogany 'peg' in front of the grave of the dead, the soul of the dead will not be able to come out.

Wang Fushun originally just wanted to suppress Da Zhuang's arrogance, but when he saw that Da Zhuang was forced to do this, he stubbornly said: "Okay, just tonight, what do you say to bet on."

Da Zhuang thought to himself, this Wang Fushun really has a kind of ah: "Let's bet one hundred yuan, if anyone loses, use that one hundred yuan to invite everyone here to eat."

Wang Fushun thought to himself, if I don't agree, this will be planted, and the people in the village will definitely laugh at me about this in the future, and I have to agree to anything: "Okay, just tonight, after speaking, I got up, took my clothes and left angrily."

Da Zhuang looked at Wang Fushun's Beiying: "Wang Fushun, if you are afraid of not going, you can laugh with the few people present after speaking."

Wang Fushun turned his head, glared at Da Zhuang, and said loudly: "Da Zhuang, you just wait to get the money, right?" After saying that, he left without looking back."

In this way, everyone went home, Da Zhuang thought to himself, borrowing Wang Fushun's three guts, he didn't dare to go, he was catching up when he got home, his father was drinking at home with his second uncle, Da Zhuang walked over, poured wine for his second uncle, and drank at home. Da Zhuang usually doesn't drink, but this one he got drunk and forgot about going to the cemetery.

In the middle of the night, Wang Fugui looked for his brother, and only after this question did he know that Da Zhuang and his third brother had made a bet, he called the door of Da Zhuang's house and asked: "Da Zhuang is sleeping at home!" This made Wang Fugui anxious, and when Da Zhuang heard that Wang Fushun was really gone, he woke up from the wine, and hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the cemetery with Wang Fugui.

I happened to meet Xiaoying on the way, because everyone in our village knew that Xiaoying had a pair of 'yin and yang eyes', Da Zhuang told Xiaoying what had happened, and when I looked at it one day, it was almost twelve o'clock, and they came to the cemetery.

This cemetery has about fifteen acres of land, the small north wind blows people tremble, the small tree next to the grave makes the wind blow, it seems that this cemetery is gloomy, Da Zhuang wiped his nose and said: "The front is the tomb of the five roots on the left, Xiaoying hummed, walked to the front, Da Zhuang and Wang Fugui followed behind."

Just arrived at the edge of the grave of the fifth root on the left, and used a flashlight to shine on his grave, as if there was a person lying there, Wang Fugui approached to see, is this Fushun, only to see him lying on the ground, motionless, Xiaoying hurriedly walked over, held Wang Fushun, saw that his face was pale, his eyes were closed, Xiaoying knew that this was frightened, quickly rescued, pinched his people first, beat his back, after more than ten minutes, Wang Fushun woke up, everyone saw that Wang Fushun woke up, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaoying said: "Hurry up and go home, don't stay here, you have nothing to bet on." As he spoke, he helped Wang Fushun up, Wang Fushun just stood up and didn't take a step, he was about to fall, thanks to Da Zhuang and Wang Fugui, at this time, he saw Wang Fushun's teeth creaking, crunching, and beads of sweat dripping down, so frightened that he couldn't say a word.

Xiaoying looked back and understood that it was Wang Fushun who patronized the peach wood peg and inserted the corner of his coat into it, can he not fall down this run, he still thought that there was a ghost pulling him, the more he couldn't run, the more scared he was, the more scared he was, the more he wanted to run, and finally he was frightened, Xiaoying walked over and pulled out the peach peg, and they went home; Because of this, Wang Fushun was ill for three days.
