Chapter 26: The Heart of the Heart (Part 6)
If Niu Da Rhubarb doesn't come out, even if the dozen or so villagers bang on the door together, my family's tall gate building has a thick door slab, and it can still be carried for a while.
But he was good, the villagers just bumped into it once, and he opened the door and came out. Isn't this self-defeating, and I really can't figure out why he did it.
Could it be that Niu Rhubarb didn't know the strangeness of the villagers, and he didn't know that they came to catch him to pour the merit soup?
But Niu Rhubarb's reaction after going out is not like ignorance. If he really didn't know, it is estimated that when Ma Weiguo called the door, he would have already opened the door.
At this time, the night breeze was bleak, Niu Rhubarb stood at the door, holding a cigarette bag and pot in one hand, took a puff, and the fireworks went out for a while. In his other hand, he was holding a handful of greens.
In recent days, Niu Da Huang has helped watch my grandfather and eat and live at my house. He said that the water spinach in his field has grown, so he always stir-fried the vegetables and ate water spinach these days.
At this moment, the handful of greens he is holding in his hand must be water spinach.
Didn't he come out without figuring out what's going on outside?
I sighed, and said to myself, it's still a step too late. I knew that I should have come over to inform Niu Rhubarb first, I thought that my house was far away from the courtyard of the brigade, but I didn't expect these people to come to my house first.
"Old Niu, come with us to the brigade courtyard, the Taoist masters will be rewarded!" Ma Weiguo said as he twisted the gold chain around his neck.
As he spoke, he began to signal a few villagers next to him to step forward and go to erect Niu Rhubarb.
"Wait, I haven't eaten yet! You see, I haven't fried this green vegetable yet! Niu Rhubarb said, shaking the handful of greens in his hand.
"Don't talk nonsense, the Taoists have a reward, just drink a bowl of merit soup, what else do you eat?" Ma Weiguo said, and several people were going to hold Niu Da Huang.
However, Niu Rhubarb said unhurriedly: "Oh, why are you in a hurry? Old man, I will go myself. At this point, he paused, stared at the two villagers who were going to set him up, and said, "Do you recognize the dish in my hand, what kind of dish is this?" I still have some in my own land, do you want to have some? It's delicious! ”
The two villagers looked confused and couldn't speak.
"They don't know, Captain Ma, do you know the name of this green vegetable?" Niu Rhubarb asked again.
Ma Weiguo was stunned for a moment, blinked his mouth, and didn't say anything, he didn't seem to know.
Niu Rhubarb took a puff of cigarette, smiled, and said, "You don't even know this, so I'll tell you." This dish is called water spinach. ”
Hearing the word "water spinach", Ma Weiguo and several surrounding villagers suddenly stiffened on their faces. They seemed to think of something, but they couldn't grasp it, their pupils couldn't help but dilute, and their eyes became more and more blank.
"People's hearts are hearty, vegetables have no heart to live, what about people without hearts?" Niu Rhubarb stared at Ma Weiguo and asked with a smile.
Ma Weiguo opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but he began to mumble about the bezoar just now, he didn't seem to understand. "People's hearts are hearty, vegetables have no heart to live, people have no heart...... What happens when people don't have a heart? People have no intention ......" Suddenly, Ma Weiguo seemed to understand, he raised his hand and touched his heart, his face turned dark in an instant, and he said with great difficulty: "People...... People have no intention...... Surely death! ”
Immediately, he fell straight to the ground.
Ma Weiguo's sentence that people have no intention and will definitely die also made the surrounding villagers hear. They touched the front of their hearts as if they were looking for something, but to no avail, they all fell to the ground.
I was on the side, dumbfounded.
I really didn't expect that there would be such a means for the rhubarb. A handful of water spinach, after asking a few words, can you get rid of those villagers who are controlled by rat spirits?
I walked over, and Niu Da Huang saw me go back, and there was some surprise.
He asked me what was the arrangement of my uncle's house, and I had to tell him the truth, the merchant went to my uncle's house, and it seemed that he had taken his body away. Tomorrow will hold a funeral for my uncle, and I can only repair a tomb for him. Niu Rhubarb thought for a while and said, then the funeral will not be held first, the village is too chaotic, and it is not suitable for a funeral. Later, he asked, why did the merchant take my uncle's body?
I don't know about this, so I guess I can only ask the merchant to bear himself.
Glancing at the villagers who fell to the ground, I was very surprised, so I asked Niu Rhubarb, what is going on?
Niu Rhubarb said that he was just a small skill of carving insects, and he had also heard that paragraph in the story of the Romance of the Gods before. Bigan was gouged out of his heart, Jiang Ziya taught him a way to save his life, but the old vegetable seller who was turned into Daji asked, Bigan fell to the ground, and bled to death. So, he just gave it a try, but he didn't expect it to work.
However, I looked at Niu Da Huang's confident look just now, and it didn't look like I was going to give it a try.
Niu Rhubarb explained, saying that in fact, these villagers are not really disheartened. Their hearts are in the hands of those Taoist priests, and they can't perceive them for themselves. Therefore, when Niu Rhubarb takes out the water spinach, they will be confused, they can't feel their hearts, they think they have no hearts, so they will fall to the ground.
They're not really dead now.
As long as the Taoist priest who grasps their hearts thinks, these villagers can wake up at any time.
"Grandpa Niu, what should I do now, the villagers have all been controlled by those Taoist priests, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in the village anymore." I put it this way.
However, Niu Rhubarb shook his head, and he said: "Yiwa, Laojieling Village is my root, and it is also your grandfather's root, whether it is my meaning or your grandfather's meaning, it is impossible for us to leave here." Even if you die, you will never leave! ”
He said very firmly, and I said, "Isn't it okay to go outside and avoid the limelight?" ”
"No way!" Cattle ecliptic.
I didn't understand it very much, so I asked, "Is it because of the old grave?" ”
"Yes and no!" When Niu Da Huang saw me mention Lao Tombpo, he thought for a while, and then said: "A baby, there are some things, you have to be mentally prepared." Laojieling Village has been stable for hundreds of years, and this time, I am afraid that it will become a place where the wind and clouds meet, and these rat essences who sell merit soup are just the beginning. ”
Obviously, Niu Rhubarb knows the secrets of Laojieling Village, and I estimate that what Wang Shenpo said, what he can't suppress, is exactly what Niu Rhubarb said.
As I finished saying this, without waiting for me to ask, Niu Rhubarb glanced behind me.
He smiled kindly and said, "This little girl, her eyes are born! ”
Behind me, standing was naturally He Xiaojing, He Xiaojing was a ghost, I didn't expect Niu Rhubarb to be able to see her, so I asked: "Grandpa Niu, can you also see her?" ”
He nodded, and said, "You are under the command of the king goddess?" ”
He Xiaojing nodded, and she said, "My name is He Xiaojing, and I used to be a classmate of Brother Lin Yi. ”
Niu Rhubarb also nodded, he glanced at me, pulled me into the courtyard, and whispered to me: "Yiwa, when did this little female ghost start to follow you?" ”
"It didn't take long." I said.
"There is a sentence I advise you, red face is a curse, and the look I look at the little girl is not quite right. Your daughter-in-law who has not yet married is not an ordinary character, and there is no room for sand in her eyes, if you let her know that you have such close contacts with other girls, I am afraid that you will not be able to eat and walk around! ”
After Niu Rhubarb finished speaking, he muttered: "This Wang Shenwu is really, what does she think, for no reason, isn't this adding to the chaos?" ”
His words made me a little speechless, it's not enough for me to marry a ghost daughter-in-law, is it possible that I can still accept two? With my small body, there are two female ghosts, and the essence is not enough for one to suck!
After Niu Da Huang finished admonishing me, he gestured to He Xiaojing and said, "Little girl, come in too, this night, it's not peaceful outside." ”
I didn't expect that Niu Rhubarb would be able to face a female ghost so calmly, it seems that he is by no means as simple as I imagined.
However, He Xiaojing shook her head and said, "I'...... I'm just here to deliver the letter, and now, I'm going back, or I'll be suspicious. ”
"Deliver a letter?" I wondered.
He Xiaojing nodded, looked at the door panel, didn't enter the door, and said, "Tomorrow night, the lame horse is going to act, Brother Lin Yi, you have to be careful." ”
"What is he going to do?" I asked.
"This ...... He didn't tell me either, I only heard that it was, and a Daomen family surnamed Ma was also coming. In that family, there are many powerful scattered Taoist priests, Brother Lin Yi, you must be careful to protect yourself. When she finished speaking, she looked at me, and her eyes looked like a tender girl, not a terrifying female ghost.
"Good!" I said.
"Brother Lin, I'll go first, after a long time, he will be suspicious." After He Xiaojing finished speaking, I nodded, and was about to say a word to let her be careful, but was stopped by Niu Da Huang.
Then, He Xiaojing's figure took a few steps into the distance and disappeared into the darkness.
Niu Rhubarb closed the door of my house, turned back to me and said, "A baby, what you say is unintentional, but the listener is intentional." Originally, she was just sending a letter, and when she saw you, she just told you, but she stayed with you until she left, and you should understand what it means. ”
"Grandpa Niu, don't talk nonsense, she just received the explanation of the Wang Shenpo, and at the same time carried the letter, she just protected me, how can it be as complicated as you said." I said.
