Volume 1 Village Gossip Chapter 14 The Culprit
Although I am prepared and experienced with such a voice, I still can't compare to the calm and composure of my master and grandfather, and I can't stand the cold hairs standing on my body, and the most terrible thing is to be awakened by this cry, which really makes people's hearts beat faster, like the drums of a lion dance team.
Master immediately took out rootless water for us, but when he applied it for me, he didn't let me come, and he did it himself, for fear that I would not know the preciousness and waste it.
Then we went downstairs in the dark, different from the Fang family, this time through the rootless water, I didn't see anything like mist, everything was as usual, but my vision improved a little bit.
The woman's cry came and went, and we couldn't get the bearing, the only thing we knew for sure was that it was coming from the room.
We searched almost the whole house, even the thatched latrine in the back hall, and still did not find a trace, the general ghost floating, there will always be a trace of breath, through the rootless water, we will be able to see, but we have always heard only the sound of the ghost, but we are very surprised.
In the end, the godfather seemed to realize something, stopped in the master bedroom on the second floor, took out a yellow rune paper, still holding it with his sword fingers, and threw it in the air, the rune paper did not spontaneously combust, he threw the rune paper into the air, and the flame of the rune paper suddenly went out, leaving sparks overflowing, rising a thick green smoke, floating in the air, and filling the whole bedroom with clouds and mountains and fog.
But after a while, the green smoke dissipated, and I saw that there were damp marks slowly emerging on the grass and mud wall facing us, slowly printing and dyeing the whole wall, outlining the appearance of a modern woman, vivid, like the rubber bottom of the photo, even the hair of the sideburns was clearly visible, and the woman's hand wiped the corners of her eyes, looking like she was crying, crying and dipping. At the same time, the complaining cry suddenly came close at hand, echoing faintly in my ears.
I was shocked, my bones stood on end, and I retreated again and again, and my whole body was stuck to the wall behind me.
Master glared at me with disdain and said, "This is not a ghost, just a trace of nostalgia, the reason why we can hear her cry is that she must have done it on purpose, and may have asked for us." ”
Grandpa Godfather ignored me and Master, saluted, closed his eyes tightly, and quickly whispered a mantra, muttering endlessly.
I asked Master what Grandpa Goda was doing, and he told me that Grandpa Godfather was communicating with that trace of nostalgia, and he guessed that he might be able to ask some eyebrows about Fang Xuan.
Remembrance is a trace of reluctance and attachment left after death, forming an invisible and faint Qi, which is different from the soul, which will only exist near the place of death, and slowly dissipate over time, not even a form of energy, but closer to the remnants of consciousness. So it's very difficult to communicate.
However, the surprises that Master and Godgrandpa brought to me were one after another.
Ten minutes later, Grandpa God's result came, he slowly opened his eyes, and sighed "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable", this one, with anger, with regret, with lamentation.
I saw that the woman on the wall slowly disappeared, dissolved, and there seemed to be a lament in the air, and the cry gradually faded away, disappearing into the vast night.
Grandpa turned to us and told us what he knew.
There is a good saying, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. This woman turned out to be the woman who died in childbirth, when the transportation conditions were not good, she was in labor at home, and the midwife in the village delivered the baby, but her ending was unexpectedly linked to his crazy husband.
And the root of all evil has to start from the end of December five years ago.
The woman was seven months pregnant, and one evening in late December, her husband went out drinking with a few friends until late at night, and when he got home, he hurriedly undressed and went to the bathroom to shower. She didn't know what happened to her husband, so she went out to check and saw that her husband's clothes on the ground were splashed with blood, and she was frightened and hurried to ask her husband what had happened.
However, her husband did not respond, and after taking a shower, he threw away all his clothes and pants, and immediately went to bed, ignoring her from beginning to end. After such a night, both of them tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
The next morning, her husband suddenly woke up, sweating profusely, and had some nightmare, turned his head and told her in horror that he had killed someone!
She was taken aback and hurriedly asked her husband what had happened.
Her husband told her at this time that he had gone to have dinner with a few friends last night, including Sun Stick next door, and on the way back, he met a monster with two heads, short but very scary to look at. Frightened, they wanted to run away, but Sun Stick was emboldened by the wine, rushed up and kicked the fellow away, shouting: "Man-eating wild ghosts, run to our village to spread wildness, see that I don't kill you!" Seeing that the monster did not resist or coax, they each found a fellow and went down with a stick.
At first, there was a loud cry, and it was silent in a few seconds, Sun Stick was afraid that he would not die but be bitten by the snake, so he picked up a big stone and smashed it on the monster's brain, this time splashing the blood of several people, until this time, no one could see clearly that there was a person lying on the ground, a freak with two heads! But it has been beaten beyond recognition, and the white brains are sprinkled all over the ground, mixed with bright red blood, which makes people feel frightened.
So, some people shouted that they had killed someone, they were all farmers in the countryside, they had no knowledge, they panicked all of a sudden, and some people even turned around and ran away, only Sun Stick's eyes were red and bloodshot, shouting what to panic, and then arranged for others to throw the child into the nearby river, washed the blood on the ground with river water, and covered up the remaining blood stains with sediment, everything was done in an orderly manner, and then several people dispersed in a hurry.
After the husband finished speaking, the woman decided to call the police at that time, in order to turn herself in and be punished lightly, the husband naturally should not, even if it was only sentenced to a few years, she never had the face to see the villagers and the elders, and told her that the arrangement of the sun stick was not bad, and no one would find out, and the child was a freak, even if he was seen, he did not dare to say. He was sure that the woman was a woman, she had never read a book, she had no opinions, and she had to obey her husband.
Who knew that this was just the beginning, from then on, her husband had nightmares every day, couldn't sleep at night, and could only smoke on the balcony every day until the sun rose in the east to relieve the palpitations, so that the spirit deteriorated, and the woman was afraid that it would affect the fetus, so the two had to sleep in separate rooms.
The woman knew that she was pregnant with a fetus in her womb, but her husband had blood on his hands, and their family would be punished sooner or later, but she didn't expect this retribution to come so quickly and so fiercely.
On the second night of the separation, the woman dreamed of a little child crying to her with a bloody head and an unrecognizable face, at first she couldn't see the appearance of the child clearly, and felt that it was her husband's affairs that affected her, and after more than half a month, she actually dreamed that the child gave birth to two heads, and opened her hand to hold her, and she woke up with fright that night, and then came abdominal pain, but it was a sign of childbirth.
I was born half a month prematurely......
The pain was like a flash flood, swept through the whole body, piercing the heart, it lasted all night, the blood soaked the whole sheet, the woman felt that she had stepped into the ghost gate with one foot, even the midwife had never seen this battle, and she was so frightened that she was in a hurry. In this way, the pain never lessened until the next morning, when the child was born, the midwife took it and looked at it, and passed out directly.
What was born was a sarcoma with hands and feet but unrecognizable!
Everyone was trembling with fear, the woman's husband went crazy on the spot, her parents-in-law were so frightened that she almost fainted, but she herself slowly closed her eyes and floated up to the clouds with endless regret and grief......
Only this trace of nostalgia was left, crying in the old house every day.
After listening to this, my heart was shocked, I didn't expect that Sun Stick turned out to be one of the culprits who killed Fang Xuan, after he killed Fang Xuan, he even concocted him into a little ghost, could it be that he killed Fang Xuan on purpose?
No, there is still a problem, the person who pointed out Grandma Fang has no eyebrows from beginning to end.
And the woman's death, one corpse and two lives, in the dark, it seems that Fang Xuan's revenge was done after his death, doesn't that mean that Fang Xuan's hands have been stained with blood!
Shouldn't this karma be on her husband? Why does it affect the woman and her fetus?
Master said that the cause and effect of one corpse and two lives was too heavy, and it was not at all something that a little ghost could bear, if it was really Fang Xuan's doing, then his result would probably only be wiped out. And the saying that it doesn't hurt the family is also valid in the ghost road, unless it is the most ferocious ghost, it will be unscrupulous. So he felt that there must be something strange in this.
We are more and more sure of Sun Stick's actions, and it is not clear that he is doing it from beginning to end.
As for the woman's last request, Grandpa Godon also told us that he wanted us to go and see her husband, and if his husband was still saved, he hoped that we could help. Until the end, she still remembered her evil husband, thinking that he didn't mean it.
However, if you commit sin, you will commit it, so how can you care whether you mean it or not.
So Grandpa didn't agree to come down, only said that he would go and have a look.
Master looked next door through the window, his face gloomy as night, and anger burning in Master's chest.
Then the master said, "Go!" ”
Then he went downstairs and came to the front of Sun Stickzi's house, where the master once again showed his amazing lock-picking skills, and opened the door with a wire, and rushed straight in with us.
Before, they were afraid that Sun Stick would recruit the police, but this time, they no longer cared about Lao Shizi trespassing into people's houses, Sun Stick's own hands were not clean, how could they dare to call the police?
As a result, as soon as I entered, the room was a mess, full of all kinds of bottles and cans, but there was no one.
Hey? I heard a voice in the room just now, why is there no figure now? Didn't we run out when we communicated with the woman's remaining remembrance? Could it be that he felt something was wrong and planned to abscond?
Master and Godfather immediately searched the house to find Fang Xuan's phalanges, but found nothing.
Master told me that with Fang Xuan's phalanges as sustenance, raising the little ghosts must definitely use a container, put in the corpse oil, talisman paper, and Fang Xuan's phalanges, and it will be completed, which is called the underworld and is dedicated to the little ghosts to stay.
And looking at the large number of bottles and cans in Sun Stick's house, you can see the clues.
Despite this, we still haven't found Fang Xuan's netherworld.
We began to get anxious, once Sun Stick absconded with Fang Xuan's evil spirit, the ends of the earth were so big, where would we go to find them?
At this moment, a terrible scream suddenly pierced the silent night in the village.
