Chapter 10: The Legend of the Evil Mother-in-law and the Gu
"Daughter-in-law, I heard that your machine made round rice noodles, take three or five catties and cook them for me at home!"
Just when my mother had just weighed the last pound of rice noodles to the villagers, my grandmother shouted at Lele's mother in her nasty shrew voice.
"I'm sorry, my child's grandmother, the rice noodles have just been sold." Lele's mother was not angry, but said calmly.
"What? You've sold out of rice noodles? How do you make a daughter-in-law? I forgot to leave the rice noodles to be filial to my mother-in-law and sold out the rice noodles......" Grandma yelled at her mother in a vicious voice.
The people in the village who had not yet left, when they heard the tone of their grandmother that others owed a thousand yuan, they all shook their heads and said:
"The eldest daughter of the Lan family is such a capable girl, she is really guilty of marrying into their Huang family!"
"Isn't it? usually scolds Lan Ying's girl, such an old lady, I'm afraid that she is the only one in our village! β
"It's hard to hurt Lan Ying's children! Several of their children are very sensible, and they have such a grandmother. β
"Isn't the most bitter thing Lan Ying in front of you? Listening to Aunt Wu next door to her, Lan Ying didn't quarrel with her once no matter how ugly her mother-in-law's scolding was. β
"Such a good daughter-in-law, why is she not satisfied?"
"That's right, our daughter-in-law is a lazy woman, she just doesn't do anything, and she often points fingers at me......"
ββ¦β¦β
The old ladies and little daughters-in-law ignored their grandmother's eyes that were about to burn, and still chatted about the gossip they only knew, and they were not in a hurry to go back.
As long as it is a person from this village, I have heard that grandma is not good for Lele's mother. And every time she takes advantage of Lan Ying's birth and can't work, she calls the separation of the family, this matter is in their village, and it is already an open secret model! Compared with other people's mothers-in-law, many people's little daughters-in-law always feel that they are lucky, because they did not marry into the Huang family!
Grandma listened to everyone's words, and became even more angry, Huang Lele looked at her grandmother's appearance, and now she wished that she had something in her hand, so that she could beat Lan Ying to relieve her anger. This dead old woman, if she dared to touch her mother, her aunt and grandmother would not be polite to this old woman.
Thinking of her grandmother in her previous life, when her grandmother was sick, the uncle and aunt took all the children to live in the town, leaving her grandmother at home alone, and no one cooked for her to eat. If it weren't for her mother's kindness, seeing that she was pitiful, she would take time to boil medicine and cook something for her every day. She didn't die of illness directly, she starved to death first if she didn't get it right! Although her mother tried her best to serve her, her grandmother was eventually taken away by illness. Before he died, he said to Lele's mother:
"Eldest daughter-in-law, I'm sorry for you! I used to be so bad to you, you can serve me regardless of your previous suspicions. My best second brother and his daughter-in-law knew that I was sick, so they took their children to live in the town and never came back! This is my retribution......"
Look at her vicious mother-in-law now, gritting her teeth, and trembling with anger. The whole is an old witch! It's no wonder that no one in the whole village paid attention to her, so she could only complain to her daughter, but her daughter was far from marrying, and the village was even more remote! To get to that village, you have to climb over two mountains, there is no road, the weeds grow taller than the adults, not to mention, a forest that passes by is often infested with poisonous snakes, and the less timid do not dare to approach the forest at all. In that forest, even though he was covered in sulfur and anti-snake medicine, he was bitten by snakes several times. The last time I wasted a hand, and then I didn't dare to catch snakes again......
Even the people who came out of that village were willing to take a long detour, and they would not go through that grove in order to rush that little time.
In his previous life, when he was a child, Huang Lele was very bold, and he often went to herd cattle with his companions during the summer vacation, and at that time he went to the edge of the grove with his companions, and his companions stopped at a long distance, not daring to take a step forward. Huang Lele kept walking around to take a look, and he really saw a colorful snake, curling five or six times in the sun in the bushes. Based on Huang Lele's visual inspection as a 10-year-old child, it is estimated that the snake is at least one meter and five meters long! The color of the skin on the snake's body is very bright, red, yellow, black, blue, purple, green and other colors, which cross the snake's body to form a beautiful and complex pattern. She stayed there and watched it for a long time, but she didn't see it move. He stepped back a little farther, and then threw a small stone over, only to see the snake that Huang Lele thought was dead, and raised its beautiful head with a "swish" and looked at Lele. She also stared at it with wide eyes, and after a long time, no one blinked!
ThatγIf it weren't for Huang Lele's eyes, the snake seemed to be looking at her with slanted eyes! After half a ring, the showy Mr. Snake continued his sunbathing with some disdain. I don't bother to bother with her at all! At that time, Huang Lele was very depressed, but I heard adults say that the brighter the skin of a snake, the more poisonous it is! So no matter how bold Huang Lele was, he didn't dare to provoke it again, but raised his feet and left.
It was the prettiest snake she'd ever seen in her previous life! So it's always remembered very strongly.
Lele still remembers that on the way home, she met another snake catcher in their village, and she told him about the beautiful snake she had seen, and she wanted to ask him what kind of snake it was. As a result, he only asked Lele where he saw it, and as soon as Lele finished talking about the location, in the blink of an eye, the figure of the snake catcher was gone.
ββββββ is ββββββββ dividing lineββββββββ
Now what makes Huang Lele feel very fortunate is: if her aunt also marries in this village, her mother's evil mother-in-law will not be even more tormented with her mother?
From the past life to this life, Huang Lele has always been unable to figure it out: even if her grandmother doesn't love her father, she won't be like this to their family, right? At first, their family had a difficult life, and the neighbors would reach out to help when they saw it. Why can her grandmother turn a blind eye and scold all day long? They did not ask her for food, nor did they disgrace her, nor did they ask her for clothing. Isn't her heart fleshy? It's still half of the flesh, but it's given to the uncle and the uncle; Is the half of the heart for their house long of iron, or rusty iron?
If you explain it from the perspective of their rural superstitions, it can be clearly explained. There is also a saying in their rural area: Someone went to the goddess to ask for a Gu medicine to come back to grandma, and then instructed her to do this to her mother!
In a remote village like theirs, this kind of Gu medicine has always been very expressive.
It is said that some gods and women with bad hearts have Gu skills. If you go to the goddess and invite Gu back to your home, and the person who asks Gu doesn't give Gu to others, then you will be eaten by Gu. I heard an aunt say that her mother-in-law just went to the goddess to invite Gu back, maybe she was kind, so she was reluctant to put that thing on the villagers. As a result, I was devoured by Gu worms every night, and I couldn't sleep well. Her daughter-in-law, who lives next door, often hears bugs at night. Later, when she got up in the middle of the night to fry soybeans, her daughter-in-law began to be very strange, her mother-in-law didn't have many teeth, how could she still eat fried soybeans? So her daughter-in-law got up and secretly saw through the crack in the door that she was taking the fried soybeans back to the room, and she saw that it was not her mother-in-law who was eating the fried soybeans herself, but feeding the fried soybeans to some insects.
The eldest daughter-in-law was frightened by what she saw in front of her, and went back to the house to quietly wake up her husband and ask him to see what her mother-in-law was doing......
Later, I heard the people in the village say: If you have a Gu, he only needs to say a word to you, and he can put the Gu on you! At that time, the old woman who was devoured by the Gu backlash probably couldn't stand it, so she went out to wander around the next day. I hope to meet people from other villages, and then put Gu on others.
As a result, she wandered on the road for a long time when she met a child from her village who was riding a bicycle and was about to go to school in the town. The child politely greeted her, but somehow turned around and rode home! He came home and told his mother that he didn't want to go to school anymore. The child's mother is very strange, her son just went to school, and there was no rice to pay for the meal card, so he ran back to bring the rice to the school to pay the food fee. Why did he go out for a while and then come back and tell her that he didn't study?
So he got the child back and his father to explain the process, and the husband and wife asked him why he didn't want to study, but he couldn't say why, just repeatedly:
"I just don't want to read it!"
The two couldn't ask, and they couldn't persuade the child to go back to school. In desperation, the two of them thought: The child really doesn't want to forget it! Anyway, if you don't study, rural people should go farming......
However, within a few days, the boy covered his ears and shouted:
"Dad! Mother! There is a monk in my ear, knocking on the wooden fish and chanting the scriptures! You help me tell them to stop knocking and don't pronounce! I feel bad to hear! β
The whole family was stunned! By their son's side, let alone seeing a monk, they didn't even see a mosquito!
The child's grandfather and grandmother said bluntly:
"This kid has fallen into evil! β¦β¦β
His sister ran over and hugged him, and kept repeating in his ear:
"It's all right! My brother is fine! The monks were all driven away! β¦β¦β
After a long time of trouble, I don't know if he was sleepy or something, and finally fell asleep.
From that day on, they kept the child in the house and let his sister watch him every day.
A few days after he got better, he said:
"Sister, those monks have come to my room again! You asked my parents to nail all the windows in my room, right? β
His parents had no choice but to nail both windows of his room. Later, he asked his parents to lock him in the house at night.
One day, his parents went out to do farm work again, and her sister saw that he was also much more energetic, so she drank porridge with him and chatted for a while.
That night, his parents chatted with him for a while, and when they came out, they locked the door and went to sleep......
The next morning, when her sister unlocked his door and asked him to get up for breakfast, she found that her brother was missing! And the windows are still nailed and the doors are locked, so where will the big people get out?
When my sister saw her brother mysteriously disappear, she cried with fright! Her cry attracted everyone in the family, and everyone couldn't figure out: how did people not see each other?
It was the summer rice harvest season, and when the people in the neighborhood heard that their children were missing, they all volunteered to help find them. His mother and sister sat on the threshold wiping tears from their eyes, and the men continued to look for someone......
In the evening, everyone was fishing in the fish pond in the village, afraid that the child would accidentally fall into the water......
At this moment, two villagers who were making a tile kiln in the mountains sent him back! When the child saw his mother and sister crying, he asked them very strangely:
"Mom, sister, what are you crying about?"
Her sister said to him with tears in her voice:
"Brother, tell my sister, where did you go last night?"
"Last night? I had already slept, but then an old man with a white beard said he was going to take me to a fun place to see the snow, so I went with him in a carriage, and all I saw was white snow along the way, and when I got off the bus, I saw that everything was buried under the snow! It's a white world......"
"Yes, when we came out of the hut in the morning, we saw the boy buried in the snow, and the snow was up to his neck, and only one head was exposed, so we quickly got tools and dug him out! At first glance, we thought we were dazzled! We don't have any snow this winter, how can there be snow in this summer? When we got closer, there was really a layer of snow, but it was not thick, it was only a thin layer, and there was fluffy sand and mud underneath, otherwise we wouldn't have dug it out so easily......"
All the villagers were a little creepy when they heard their words, the fact that the child could disappear into thin air in a sealed house, and the experience he had said, and the words of the tile burners, no one could explain this phenomenon. It's incredible! Is there really a god or a ghost? Or are they all lying? This phenomenon cannot be explained by science!
Someone suggested that the child's parents go to a goddess and ask what was wrong with the child. But the child's father did not believe in ghosts and gods, but sent the child to a psychiatric hospital, where the child spent three months and then returned.
I don't think there's anything wrong with him when I look at him, but he still occasionally says he hears something.
Later, his mother really had no choice, so she had to catch a chicken and bring rice and incense to find the goddess. Coincidentally, what his mother was looking for was the goddess who sold Gu to this old woman in our village!
The goddess gave his mother an antidote, and she came back and gave the child a few days, but she never had a seizure again.
Until the child grows up, gets married, and has children, his children are healthy......
And the old woman who went to buy Gu, from then on, no villager greeted her, even if she saw her, she would walk around a long distance, and she would never walk past her. Even her son and daughter-in-law moved out and did not want to live with her. Her son only visits her once a few days......
Within half a year, the old lady died, and no one knows how she died.
It is said that when she died, her expression was very strange, and there were many protruding black skin on her body. Except for her son, who carried her to the coffin wrapped in a mat, no one dared to touch their things. When an old man dies, he will be placed outside the coffin for three days, and only after three days will he put it in the coffin to seal the coffin, and then bury her, she is directly put into the coffin and then nailed the coffin to death. After she died, her son burned all the things she had used, and the house was left empty and never entered again......
