Chapter 13: Strange Tales
Facing the three questions I raised, the second uncle smiled faintly: "He doesn't want money, I also asked about this, that's because of the rules set by the master in the early years, three out and one free, three times to collect money, you have to work for free once, but you can ask the master's family to ask for a meal, when fishing for this dead woman, just in time for this proper mouth." ”
"Is there such a saying?" I was surprised.
The second uncle nodded: "I believe in the master's words very much, and never dare to disobey it, in fact, the job of fishing for corpses, you have to hire a boat, and you have to dive, risking your life to try again and again, of course, ordinary corpse collectors are troublesome, and the cost alone is not enough, but he has real skills, and the corpse is easy for him to catch, so the rules that the master set for him are not excessive." ”
"As for why you don't return the gem to the master's family, of course it's still selfish, such a good thing, a fool also knows that it's valuable, and it all depends on it to change his fate, although he has good skills, it's not every day that someone drowns, and when he waits for the next sale, he doesn't know the year of the monkey," the second uncle explained.
As for the dead woman who jumped out of the coffin and jumped all the way to the fishing house with her head pestle, the second uncle was also puzzled for a long time, until many years later, when he talked about it with an old gentleman who understood yin and yang, and listened to the people's instructions, it suddenly became clear.
At the beginning, the feng shui gentleman who was looking for him was right, ghosts and zombies and the like really can't bend over, and the methods taught to him are all correct solutions, but the problem lies in some details.
According to the judgment of Lao Yin and Yang, the woman who committed suicide by throwing herself into the pond should have sunk to the bottom of the pond with her head down, which is completely different from other people who committed suicide by throwing themselves into the water, whether it is a zombie or a ghost, in the residual memory, she will always maintain the posture and form of the moment of death......
"I'll go!" When the second uncle said this, my heart suddenly burst.
The second uncle said: "The whole incident, there are indeed suspicious points, but it is not what you said, the woman kept saying that it was an ancestral treasure, but the main family did not mention anything about the gem before and after, if there is really such an important thing lost, how can the main family give up?" ”
"This is one of them, and the other is that this woman's posture of throwing herself into the pond is too strange, with her head down, light rain, think about it, who throws water with her head down?" The second uncle asked me.
I gasped, I wipe! How do I know this? But then again, even people who want to commit suicide do so step by step into the water, or jump into the water and drown. With your head down, so decisive...... It's not easy to understand psychologically.
"Second uncle, what do you think? What is the situation when people are head-down? I asked, surprised.
The corners of the second uncle's mouth grinned slightly, and he sneered: "Throw yourself into the well!" ”
"Throwing into a well?"
"Not bad! Only the person who throws herself into the well will have her head down, the mouth of the well is narrow, and she can't play any other posture......" The second uncle said, hehe, and unscrewed a bottle of liquor.
"Second uncle, don't drink it, it's almost enough," I quickly stopped.
"Huh! What do you know, kid? The second uncle has no woman, drink a little wine, that's all there is to have fun, Xiaoyu, the second uncle will tell you a few more today, you can remember everything, go back and sort it out for me," the second uncle said, pouring another teapot of liquor.
I was speechless, swallowing and foaming, and when I looked at the clock, it was already twelve o'clock in the night, and the second uncle had to tell it again, he had already told me two stories!
In fact, in my heart, I am still faintly worried about that little girl, is she already waiting for me in bed...... I couldn't get enough of it last night, and I actually want it today.
Tore open a few more bags of Zhou Black Duck, and the second uncle looked intoxicated and enjoyed. I wanted to ask him about it... The things about the people in the painting, but the girl's advice echoes in your ears all the time, don't tell the second uncle.
"Second uncle, is there really a ghost in this world?" I asked curiously.
The second uncle looked at me with a wry smile and replied, "Xiaoyu, your question... Can it be a little deeper, whether there are ghosts or ghosts, this is what children ask. ”
He took a sip of wine and said, "I'm wondering, why, the woman threw herself into the pond in the posture of throwing herself into the well?" That's a big question! ”
I nodded: "Indeed, and besides, I am also curious, it stands to reason that the person's lungs are above, even if she falls headfirst into the water, she should quickly turn up......"
The second uncle waved his hand: "Should?" There should be too many things in this world, she should still float up, but there is no result, I guess, this woman, just like a wooden pole, her head is poked straight into the mud, this fishing is also a stupid dick, the master told him, the dead standing upright can't be fished, but he didn't say, the body inserted into the water upside down can't be picked up, this is good, the latter is more powerful than the former! ”
I reminded me a little worriedly: "Second uncle, this gem is good-looking, but I always feel... The origin is unknown, the evil nature is very evil, it is a hoodoo thing, or... You'd better sell it. ”
The second uncle smiled disapprerovingly: "Xiaoyu, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, the dead woman has already found a handful to settle the account, and the body is also burned, how can you find me again?" This thing has been with me for almost twenty years, don't worry, it's okay. ”
"But..."The second uncle paused and continued: "When the second uncle is gone, and this stall is under your control, you can sell it if you want." ”
I shuddered when he said this, what do you mean he's gone? The second uncle is really drunk and starts talking nonsense!
"Second uncle, what nonsense are you talking about?" I frowned and complained angrily.
The second uncle looked at me with a smile on his face.
He pondered for a long time, lit a cigarette and said, "Later, I went through a lot of things, and I may be able to explain why the woman fell into the water in the position of throwing herself into the well." ”
My curiosity was aroused again, and I replied in a wink: "Second uncle, say it quickly." ”
The second uncle was smoking, his bloodshot eyes were a little sleepy, and he told me an unbelievable strange thing.
It happened in the 90s of the last century, at that time, the second uncle already had two money, and drove Santana to the countryside to collect treasure.
The hottest years of family planning in China were in the late 80s and early 90s, and the slogan at that time was: Fight out, flow out, just can't give birth! Escape family planning today, go out, and go home tomorrow with all your possessions!
Although the slogan is loud, but in the countryside, the idea of passing on the family is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, if there is no male baby in anyone's family, it is really bad to the extreme, and try every possible way to secretly give birth! The hospital did not give a birth permit, so they went to the midwife, which once revived this almost extinct profession.
To say that in the folk, there are strange people in all walks of life, and there are strange people in the industry of midwifery!
This person is a widow, surnamed Chen, I don't know what her real name is, the villagers call her Chen Xiaoshou, Chen Xiaoshou as the name suggests, hands as small as a child, no matter how tricky you are dystocia, as soon as she arrives, a pinching and massage, to ensure that the child falls to the ground, mother and child are safe! The maternal pain is also small, and it is much more reliable than the obstetrician in the hospital!
With the help of several years of "policy inclination", Chen Xiaoshou earned a lot of money, and her family also built a two-story small western-style building, but she did not break away from the masses, and was still actively "solving problems" for the villagers. Some mothers are afraid of pain, and the first child also comes to her to deliver the baby.
It happened one night, Chen Xiaoshou and his daughter were ready to sleep, and at this time, there was a knock on the door.
The courtyard door opened, but when he saw that it was a young man in his early 20s, he was anxious and angry, and when he saw Chen Xiaoshou, he knelt down.
"Auntie, save my mother-in-law, she can't give birth... Whining! The big man cried out in a hurry.
It is normal for the mother to give birth suddenly at night, Chen Xiaoshou didn't say anything, and quickly asked the girl to take the white porcelain basin and towel, and pushed the electric car to go out.
Under inquiry, this young man is from Zhangzhuang, in the next village, his wife suddenly felt uncomfortable in the middle of the night, and then she was unstoppable to give birth, and the situation was very dangerous, and one of the child's legs had come down.
When this woman gives birth to a child, her head comes down first, how can anyone come down with a leg first? That doesn't hurt to die? Chen Xiaoshou didn't dare to delay, followed the young man to Zhangzhuang, and after entering the door, he immediately threw himself into the "battle"!
Generally speaking, Chen Xiaoshou takes over the work alone during the day, and at night, he has to bring his 12-year-old daughter when he is at home alone. There were heart-rending screams in the main room, and the little girl was led to the next room to be with the young man's mother.
The kind grandmother peeled peanuts for her to eat, and from time to time there was a command from her mother next door: "Hard! Hard! "You! Fetch me another basin of water. ”
The whole family is busy cooperating, the atmosphere is very tense, and the little girl can also hear that this delivery seems to be more troublesome than ever!
The old grandmother smiled heaps on her face, and talked to the little girl without saying a word, and after two hours, the child had not been born, and the girl was a little worried.
At this time, the electric car outside the yard suddenly sounded, just now the door was more urgent, after knocking on the door, even the car didn't care to push in, so I hurried into the house to rescue the mother. The girl was worried, afraid that her car would be lost, so she ran out!
When she got to the door, the car was fine, and there was no one around, but when she turned her head again, the frightened souls were scattered in an instant! Behind her, there is still the door of a mother's house, it is clearly a big tomb! The cyan stele reflects the black and red inscriptions in the moonlight!
When the child woke up again, it was the next morning, and there were no alleys around where people lived, and there were abrupt graves everywhere.
Last night, the terrible grave was still in front of her, and the little girl almost fainted with fright, but what made her soul flutter was that the white porcelain basin used by her mother to deliver was still fastened on the grave bag, and there were a lot of stains on the basin... Similar to asphalt, it smells great!
"Second uncle, what's going on?" I asked, stunned.
The second uncle sighed: "This is just the beginning, and the situation in the future is what I remember most deeply over ......the years."
