Chapter 47: The Cave
There were two people standing in front of the cowshed, a man and a woman, the woman was Wang Fang, she pulled a rope in her hand, and tied the old cow in the cowshed to a stake that had just been driven into the ground, and the man was evil.
It's Yan Guang.
He just died in the morning, and all of us saw it, and at this time we came to clean up for Yan Guang, and there were many people behind me who were muttering, most of them were scared, and there were also complaints, let them collect the corpse, but people are good, what kind of corpse to collect? Isn't it a joke?
A few of us didn't speak, just looked at what the two were going to do, so we knew that Yan Guang was actually going to kill the cow, he was holding a hammer in his hand, holding a seven-inch nail in his hand, and put it on the head of the cow.
I watched the old cow being tied to the stake, tears kept flowing from the corners of his eyes, and the ring on the cow's nose was all for the old man, but his head was attached to the stake, and he couldn't run at all.
I looked at it, it looked at me, kept screaming, the voice was very low, the tears in the eyes were filled with fear, I could especially feel the pleading in the eyes of the old cow, this old cow is also pitiful, the calf had just died before, and it would be killed by the owner again.
I don't understand a little, Yan Guang has just finished the funeral, what is he doing to kill the cow at this time? I don't do a banquet again, I am killing the old cow, a little unreasonable, although this cow is old, but it is a matter of their family to plow the fields and plough the land in the future, kill it at this time, isn't it to cut off their own back road?
Everything was very strange, I walked over and asked Yan Guang, "What are you doing to kill a cow?"
Yan Guang's expression was quite strange, always showing a kind of smiling smile, and he said to me, "Sacrifice to the sky."
It's a little strange for me to hear the word sacrifice to the sky, he sacrifices to the sky? What are you doing in the sky? I looked up at the sky, the sun had already set in the west, and it was already dark when it entered the unitary period, so it was not a good time to worship the sky at this time.
I think these two people are weird, the two of them have been smiling, there is no one who has just died of his father and grandmother, and his sister is lost, and he is not seen to look for it, even if you are resurrected from the dead, it should be a little humane, I don't see any human touch in these two people at all.
I didn't stop, ran to the front of the mourning hall, as soon as I entered the mourning hall, I saw the altar on the side of the mourning platform, a pillar of high incense, tributes on both sides, left chickens and right ducks, all the heads were chopped off, and the hair was not plucked, Yan Liu and Wang Hong also came in, looking at this altar is a little strange, Yan Liu pinched his fingers, his face changed greatly, the meniscus of the solar calendar, the thirtieth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, tonight is the last night of the ghost month, this table of tribute is obviously not to worship the sky, but to worship the ghost.
I looked back at the courtyard outside, which people were helping in the yard, preparing to kill the cow, I asked Yan Liu, "Do you think he is a human being?"
Wang Hong grabbed a sentence: "Even if it's a person, it's not the two people before."
Yan Liu nodded and said to me: "The fat man said a human word, even if the two of them are people, they are not the two people before, this matter is very strange, could it be that the yellow skin got on his body and ate the hollow to occupy the flesh?"
I shook my head, that night I met not a yellow skin, but a red python, and if it was a yellow skin, the corpse cat in my arms would have jumped out a long time ago, but this corpse cat cat in the arms of my hot body did not climb out, which means that it is not a yellow skin.
"Kill the cow and eat the meat, hey"
"Niu Bao'er comes to aphrodisiac, hey"
"Kill cattle and eat meat, every family has it, hey"
There was a song about killing cows outside, and in the past, if the family killed cows, they would give some to the neighbors, so those who loved to coax made up songs, and then they sang again, and I haven't heard this song for many years.
At this time, there was a scream of the old cow outside, I glanced at Yan Liu, the old cow screamed miserably, I hurriedly ran out, and saw that Yan Guang was a hammer on the head of the old cow, and the hammer was nailed to the parietal bone of the old cow.
I ran over with Yan Liu, and saw that Yan Guang was fierce, and he was about to give the old cow a second blow with a hammer, I gave Yan Liu a look, he understood, and the firewood knife in his hand slipped out and picked it up towards the rope, and the old cow got out of trouble, and flew Yan Guang out of the head.
Lao Niu Sahuan, shaking his head and tail, all the people quickly cracked the road, the old cow is not easy to mess with, even the tiger has to give three points, Lao Niu Sahuan ran out, everyone followed, Yan Liu and I glanced back at Yan Guang, his chest deflated, but he got up like a nobody, and his face was still the same as a smile.
I didn't say much to Yan Liu, I left quickly, and when I was waiting for him, I was coming to clean him up, and now I was chasing Lao Niu and talking.
There was no one in Yan Guang's house now, and the two of them stood at the door, looking into the distance with a smile on their faces, and suddenly, their eyes showed a scarlet color, like ghost fire.
The old cow ran happily and threw off all the people who caught it, I followed Yan Liu and Wang Hong all the time, the old cow ran in circles, ran a big circle and returned to Yan Guang's house, but he didn't enter the house, stood in front of the cow dung heap, and kept turning around.
Yan Liu saw the old cow constantly wandering around in front of the cow dung heap, so he whispered to me: "Hu San, if you see it, I know that there is something wrong with this cow dung heap."
When I heard this, I looked around, and I was shocked, and I patted my head, why hadn't I observed the feng shui of this cowshed before? If you see it, you probably won't have any of these moths.
I said to Wang Hong, "Dig!"
Wang Hong looked at the pile of cow dung, the pile was the same as the hill and did not want to, I saw that the matter was urgent, without saying a word, began to pull with my hands, farmers have the habit of gathering cow dung, often pile the cow dung behind the cow pen, and when the cow dung is dry, it will be taken home and burned.
Wang Hong and Yan Liu saw me pulling with my hands, they looked uncomfortable, the matter was urgent, so I couldn't take care of it, Wang Hong couldn't see me like this, so they hurriedly took a shovel and dug with me, but Yan Liu always stood there, looking at me and looking at him, people were not ashamed, and said to let me go.
The two of them pulled quickly, and after a while they dug up the dung heap, and there was a big hole under the dung heap, where no one knew, and the wind was gusting inside, and the stench was repeated.
Wang Hong said rarely: "Why is there such a big hole down here?" Where does it lead?"
I didn't make a sound, but I don't have to think about it to know that this hole must lead to the dwarf mountain bag and connect with the Yan family's ancestral tomb, or it will be the hole with horseshoe prints at the foot of the dwarf mountain bag, so that it will form a heart-piercing brake.
The feng shui of this place has formed a bad place, and it is extremely vicious, the so-called heart piercing sha is some yang houses built with holes in the ground.
There are holes in the ground, and evil things will pass through from below, and the head of the household will be guilty of wearing "piercing the heart".
This evil causes the fortune of the house to be unstable, and it is most likely to cause a bloody disaster.
Yan Liu looked at the entrance of the cave, there were five or six feet, and the bottom was even deeper, so he threw a fire fold down, and after landing, he could actually see the light, Wang Hong lay at the entrance of the cave, muttering in his mouth: "What is the thing digging such a big pit under this?"
Yan Liu and I also squatted at the entrance of the cave, and I asked, "I'm also blindfolded, and I haven't heard that snakes can dig holes?" It's such a big hole, it doesn't look like a snake dug out, I've been in the industry for so long, and what I encountered this time really taught me a lesson. ”
Yan Liu didn't pay attention to me, but jumped down directly, and I followed, it was a mule or a horse, just go down and see, Wang Hong scolded: "Your uncle, you two rats, drill holes every day, and the harmful Lao Tzu also follows."
I took the lead, the pit was very big, but it was very short, and the three of us had to bend our waists to walk, but we stopped just a few steps, because there were three forks in the road, and the three holes were black, like leading to Huangquan Road, I glanced at Yan Liu, and I didn't know which way to go.
Suddenly, the corpse cat in my arms sprang out and sniffed around the three holes, and after a while, it went into the middle hole, and we quickly followed.
The hole in the middle is very wet, the feet feel very soft on the ground, like a newly dug hole, the hole is not very long, the three of us just walked for a while, I saw the corpse cat stopped in place, kept looking at the head, I ran over, suddenly the heel was unstable, and fell headlong.
I was a little panicked, who knew there was a hole below, this dead cat stood at the mouth of the hole, I thought there was a road ahead, so accidentally planted a heel, but fortunately the hole is not very deep, I will soon be in the end.
I saw a fire on it, and knew that it was Wang Hong and Yan Liu, and the two of them also jumped down, I got up and touched my head, as if I had hit something, I turned around and saw that it was actually a coffin.
Wang Hong ran over with Yan Liu, and also saw this coffin, this coffin is so familiar, it seems that I have seen it somewhere, but I actually stopped my mind for a while and couldn't remember to see it there.
Wang Hong pushed me, I took a look, this hole is not very big, about seven or eight feet square space, three people standing in it and a coffin looks a little cramped.
Wang Hong felt happy when he looked at the coffin, walked around the side of the coffin, and knocked on the coffin lid again, I knew that Wang Hong had made a few dead people's fortunes, so as soon as he saw the coffin, he knew that there was money to be made.
But I think this coffin is not ordinary, looking at the material is a copper coffin, and it is familiar, I touched the coffin lid, there is a pit on it, this pit should be used to put the corpse mirror.
Corpse mirror, I pondered this sentence, and suddenly thought of one thing, in the cemetery I met in Bailao Mountain last time, it seems that there is a corpse mirror in that coffin, so thinking about it, my heart trembled, is there anything else to do with this matter?
"Squeak"
Suddenly there was a piercing sound from the coffin, which scared the three of us into a cold sweat, and the sound was like the sound of fingernails scratching on the wall, which couldn't help but be harsh and upsetting.
The three of us glanced at each other, and we had a very tacit understanding.
"There's someone in the coffin."
