Even my grandfather couldn't figure out how old this big locust tree was, because he said that when he was a child, he saw that this big locust tree was as big as it is now.

Of course, this may be an exaggeration, but such a huge tree, even if it is a few decades long, ordinary people will not be able to see it!

Whether to cut down the big locust tree or not has become a big deal. In those days, the villagers were really entangled, and they were obviously divided into two factions, and I naturally don't know the final outcome. Because until I grew up, the big locust tree was still there.

A faction that maintains the opinion is to cut! Because this tree not only hanged the revolutionary party before liberation, but also when the moon is full, there are water ghosts under the tree. This time, it is said that Thin Feet hit an evil under the tree, and he got sick and died.

Zhuo Yiming, the father of Thin Feet, is an honest man and has a good reputation in the village. He was a long-term worker before liberation, and it is said that he worked for a large family of us, and then he stayed in the village, and after liberation, he became a member of our village.

Zhuo Yiming's eldest son, Zhuo Yi, is the same age as my father and is also a more down-to-earth person, but I feel that he is cheerful after all, and he is a person who prefers children, which is why I often go to his house to play with Qiu'er.

As Zhuo Yiming's youngest son, Slender Feet should also be the most loved in the family, and when he suddenly fell ill and died, the family was naturally in chaos. Originally, the thin feet were in good health, but how suddenly they were going to get sick and die, no matter who they were, they couldn't accept it.

It is said that that on that day, Slender Foot took several of his nieces and nephews and prepared to go to the royal home in the village to pick vegetables. When passing by this big locust tree, his nephew Xiao An saw a soft-shelled turtle by the pond, so several people wanted to use a vegetable basket to catch it.

At that time, it was common for shrimp and soft-shelled turtles to be found by the ponds in the countryside. However, people in my hometown don't eat these foods, and feel that these things are not vegetables, but some foods for condiments.

Xiao An has three uncles in Guilin, and his father is a teacher in our school, although he is about the same age as Slender Feet, but he has seen a lot of the world. Thin feet may feel lucky, so they and Xiao An took the bamboo basket to fish.

Who knew that the soft-shelled turtle was not caught, and its thin feet fell into the pond. However, the thin feet that are familiar with the nature of the water are naturally fine, but the soft-shelled turtle has disappeared inexplicably. They shouted bad luck, so they didn't care, and went to the king's house to pick vegetables together.

Everything seemed to be nothing, but when they returned from the king's homeland that day, something was wrong with their thin feet. At first, he had an inexplicable fever, and his family thought that he had fallen into the water and suffered from the cold, but they called a barefoot doctor to give an injection to the thin foot, but in the end it did not work.

Because of the proximity to each other, some people in the neighborhood have seen the thin feet in the past. I heard that he had already babbled nonsense at that time, saying that someone had carried his niece Xiaowen and niece Qiu'er to Wangjiayuan in baskets, and asked everyone to go and chase them back.

The barefoot doctor Yu Xian is my own family in the village, and he lives in the house behind my house in the compound. is the same generation as my grandfather, but he is the uncle of Xiao An, the nephew of the thin foot. He asserted that there was nothing he could do, and asked his father Zhuo Yiming to be sent to the district hospital immediately.

The Zhuo family did not waste time, and called a tractor overnight to send Slender Feet to the hospital. But what makes people feel like a bolt from the blue is that the hospital can't find out the cause of the thin feet, and the thin feet are sometimes unconscious and sometimes awake. When he was unconscious, the doctor could not see the cause, and when he was awake, he babbled nonsense.

In the end, this regional hospital integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine gave a conclusion, and the thin feet were evil.

It may seem like this conclusion now, but when the land was just opened to the households, everyone thought of the behavior of the Slender Feet group that day, and they all believed this statement.

Thinfoot was dragged home the next afternoon, and I don't know how. But the next day I soon heard that Thin Feet had hit the ghost of this horrible thing. Because the Qiu'er sisters didn't go to school, her family was already highly nervous and sad.

When I got home from school, I heard the old people in the compound talking, and I felt scared everywhere I looked.

My mother was at home those days and probably knew that I was timid and didn't allow me to go out early on. At dinner, I faintly heard my mother chatting with Yuxian's wife Lianhua, because after the thin feet were pulled back from the hospital, Yuxian went to see a doctor again, and the Zhuo family obviously did not give up.

I faintly heard that Slender Feet hit a ghost, and Slender Feet waited for the third watch in the middle of the night and other family members to sleep, and I didn't know how to climb to the second floor alone, and played with my own cabbage jar on the wooden floor on the second floor, which scared the Zhuo family's soul out of possession.

What Lotus said was even more terrifying, saying that a pair of eyes on thin feet were scary, hiding in the dark upstairs and looking red, and looking at the infiltration when he was found by his family. Especially after settling him into bed, waiting for the family members who were with him to rest a little, he suddenly ran to the chicken coop by himself, and actually bit two chickens to death, and even the chicken's neck was bitten off.

Not to mention that the Qiu'er sisters were very scared, so they hid directly at their aunt's house and went to Xiao An and Xiaowen as companions, even the adults in his family felt creepy. The neighbors all asked his family to find the master to do it, but after finding it, it didn't work, and the thin feet still shouted to bite the master to death.

The people in the village are afraid, and under the unknown energy, even if there is a firm faith, it will be shaken.

The matter soon spread throughout the village, and some people lamented that Uncle Luo was not there, and if he was there, this ghost would definitely be taken. Because Uncle Luo is also a master, and it is said that he has the best power, but he has been working in the provincial capital for a long time.

Seeing that the Zhuo family really had no choice, someone suggested that the Zhuo family go to Uncle Luo, even if it was far away, find a way to call the provincial capital, and call people back. Some people said that it was the big locust tree that was causing trouble, so they said that they were going to cut down the big locust tree.

It sounds a little inexplicable, but it feels like it has something to do with the big locust tree, and it's mostly crowded anyway.

When it was mentioned that the big locust tree was going to be cut down, some people said that the locust tree was an old locust tree spirit. However, on the bright side, this locust tree cannot be cut, because this locust tree is too tall and obvious, and it is said that it has been on the national military map, and if you want to cut it, you must report it to the township, and the township will apply to the Ministry of Armed Forces.

However, although the villagers have not read any books, and most of them have not even seen the world, everyone is not worried at all. Because there is a special person in our village, he is a figure who is better than the township cadres, and everyone calls him Niu Ye.

This Niu Ye is also my family, his real name is Batian, but he is a character of the same generation as my grandfather. Although they are from the same case, they are not brothers in a small room.

If you want to say why this master called such a nickname, it was called by the people in the township and his generation back then. The extent of his bull's nose is that in the next century, people are still talking about it, and you can imagine his majesty back then.

At that time, the township was still very particular about seniority, and I didn't dare to ask the origin of Niu Ye's name. Later, as the old people gradually got old, everyone didn't know why he was called Niu Ye, but they heard two things about him.

In that era of responding to the call of the country, he led the young people in the township to overhaul railways and water conservancy in various parts of the province. In that pompous era, he led the villagers to produce a bumper yield, and it is said that the highest yield per mu is several thousand catties. I didn't believe it when I was a few years old, and I didn't believe it even more.

However, the state believed him, and he became the only provincial model worker among the peasants in the county, and he represented the city at the capital's supreme congress. In the previous era, this was a big deal, because it was the person who went to Beijing to see the emperor!

Not to mention that the cadres in the township come to visit from time to time, even the leaders of the county will send people to come over to pay their respects during the New Year. This thing is about his own identity, and the other thing is about his errands.

It is said that the earliest movie theater in our township was in the township government, and the second one was built in our village, and it is said that the reason is because the cow master is here. At this time, many people still use kerosene lamps for lighting at home, and our village has diesel engines to generate electricity, also because Niu Ye is there.

At that time, movies were not available every day, and it was said that the most frequent ones were in our village, and they would be screened almost every half a month, and there would be two movies each time. Because my uncle is a movie player, I also went to see it.

There was once a well-known opera at home and abroad called "The Legend of the White Snake", which could be said to be a real empty alley when it was broadcast. The earliest broadcast in Hunan was naturally in the province, and then when it was the turn of the region to broadcast, it happened that Niu Ye accompanied the leaders of the city to hold a meeting in the region.

When he heard that this drama was good, he really went to see it, and later did something that caused a sensation in the city. Because he felt that this film was good, and then he said to the local leaders that our village is a model model, and this drama should be taken back to the village people.

In fact, in the end, it was so that so many city-level cities in the region did not broadcast it, and Niu Ye called the village with a hand-cranked phone and asked my uncle to go to the area overnight. So the large tractor master in our village drove overnight, rushed to the area at dawn, and took the film back to the village to play.

I'm young, but when adults talk about this event, they can be said to be full of energy, and I naturally remember it clearly. So he usually only needs one sentence to do ordinary things will pass, as for whether he told him about cutting down the locust tree, I naturally don't know.

In the end, everyone did not struggle with whether they could cut down the tree, but worried about the reason for the big locust tree itself. Because it is said that this locust tree was planted here to suppress the dragon body under the bypass. Below the road is the best well in the village, where a dragon is coiled.

The old people say that the dragon itself is too masculine and masculine, and the locust tree is born to gather yin just enough to suppress it. In this era, the state does not promote superstition, but the old man said that it is not superstition, it is passed down by the old class.

In the end, the turmoil of cutting down trees continued, and among them, it is said that the main one is actually Niu Ye's mother, Mrs. Yi.

This made me struggle and doubt for a long time when I was a child. Because Mrs. Yi is said to be the godmother of Qiu'er's father Zhuoyi, the two families are considered godparents.

Later, I faintly heard my mother chatting with someone, and Mrs. Yi said that Thin Feet had hit a ghost in the water.
