Chapter Seventy-One: Earthbound Spirits
Cui Hao said: "I heard that there was a mess in this area, so I asked me to bring someone to take a look." ”
"Mess? What mess? I asked.
"There's Earthbound Spirits here."
"Earthbinders?" I repeated in surprise.
How could there be such a thing as an Earthbound Spirit here?
Earthbound spirits are people or animals who, after they die, have great grievances or wishes, so they have been wandering in the place where they died, becoming evil spirits, and refusing to be reincarnated. Generally speaking, only if you die a particularly miserable death, it is possible to become an earthbound spirit, and the earthbound spirit is not a demon, a powerful ghost, and will not easily hurt others, but it is difficult to say who killed him. However, if you say the wrong thing and get caught in the Earthbinder, he will haunt you until you grant her wish.
So......
When many police officers go to the scene to handle cases, they see those tragically dead corpses, and they never say sympathy, mercy, or anything like that in front of the corpses.
Because this may be heard by the earthbound spirits in the same place, and thus entangled.
"I still have something to do, so I'll go first."
Cui Hao gave me a complicated look, and then quickly disappeared with two little ghosts.
"Hey, wait!"
I also want to ask Cui Hao where the Earth Binding Spirit is.
This kind of ghost does not easily harm people, and generally speaking, they are relatively miserable in life, and have become half-spirit existences. So there is not much yin qi on his body, and the cow tears have no effect on him. In other words, as long as the earthbound spirit is unwilling, I can't see him with cow tears.
How do I find it?
I couldn't stop Cui Hao, but even if he did, he wouldn't necessarily tell me. Lingzheng and I had to go a few more ways to inquire about things, but we didn't find out anything, except for the matter of the ghost medicine.
At noon, a few of us went back to the rented hotel, and while eating, we talked about the things we had inquired about in the morning.
"I didn't hear anything from Lingzheng, only a kind of ghost medicine. The people here are very fond of refining, and eat something called ghost medicine, which has the same effect as opium, but is not so harmful. - There's nothing else but that, what do you inquire? "I said to King Ling's tomb.
"We're pretty much the same, but there's one more thing I heard." King Ling ate at the tomb and replied to me.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"Zhang Heng, on the east side of the village, was bitten by a snake three months ago." When King Ling spoke, his face was a little ugly, and I suddenly understood that King Ling was afraid of snakes and was particularly sensitive to snakes, and now when he mentioned the word snake, his face changed.
It's really strange, the tomb of King Ling, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is actually afraid of snakes.
"Anything else?"
I'm a little disappointed, could it be that we really didn't get anything this morning?
"The part where Zhang Heng was bitten is a little strange...... At the base of the thigh, and every day when it arrives, it is as painful as a poisonous hair, and it is useless to look at many people. King Ling's Tomb explained slowly.
The base of the thigh...... This position is indeed very embarrassing.
Isn't it usually the lower leg or arm that is bitten by a snake? How could you bite such a strange place? Does it matter if you want to be the root of your life?
I said, "Then let's go find Zhang Heng in the afternoon." ”
"Okay."
The villagers here are very kind and simple, but in the same way, like all the people in the village, the women and aunts are more broken-mouthed. We went to the east of the village, but we didn't know which one was Zhang Heng's house, so we ran under a tree next to the street and began to talk to the uncles and aunts.
"Auntie, do you know Zhang Heng?"
I asked an aunt who was eating melon seeds.
"Zhang Heng? Acquaintance, what's wrong? When the aunt mentioned Zhang Heng, a trace of unhappiness flashed on her face.
"Then do you know how Zhang Heng is usually?" I didn't miss the look on her face, and there was something strange in my heart.
“…… I don't know, I don't know, I suddenly remembered that there was something else, so I'll go back first, and you can ask the others. The aunt was silent for a while, said a little angrily, and ran away after throwing the melon seeds. I had to find another aunt to ask, but that aunt was the same, at the beginning, she was good, talking and laughing, as soon as Zhang Heng was mentioned, her face immediately changed, and a look of disgust flashed on her face.
"Don't mention him to the old lady, the old lady doesn't know her." Auntie said impatiently.
I don't know why you reacted so much?
asked three or four women in a row, all of them were like this, and when Zhang Heng was mentioned, he immediately turned his face.
I began to wonder what Zhang Heng did to make these people collectively reject? However, I don't want to know and I can't find anyone to ask, no one is willing to tell me about Zhang Heng's situation, it seems that Zhang Heng is a terrifying and disgusting monster, and everyone avoids him.
"You say, what did this Zhang Heng do that was so angry? These villagers all reacted so loudly. "I watched indignantly as another villager disappeared from front of us and ran away.
King Ling's tomb yawned: "The ghost knows." ”
I sighed.
"You want to inquire about Zhang Heng?" An old man smoking on the side of the road suddenly came over and asked.
"yes, do you know about him?" I nodded.
Zhang Heng...... Alas, the village is in misfortune! The old man sighed heavily.
"What's wrong with him?" I'm getting more and more curious.
"Zhang Heng is twenty-eight years old this year, and he lives in the east of the village. The old man said, pointing to a house not far in front of us, "His parents, he died in an accident a few years ago, and the other party paid him a lot of money, and his parents themselves have a lot of savings, plus that good house, he is one of the richest in the village." However, he is very lazy to eat, usually go to the mountains to collect medicine or something, he fishes for three days and dries nets for two days, and he likes to drink and recruit prostitutes, and the money left by his parents is estimated to have been spent by him. ”
The old man looked at the house and sighed a little.
"Oh, it's a loser, huh?"
I said disapprovingly.
This kind of person can be found everywhere, so it won't be rejected by the whole village.
"Not only that, this Zhang Heng has not studied well since he was a child, stealing things, beating people, and cheating money, which are all commonplace, and there is no one in the village who has not been stolen by him. I wanted to report the crime, but no camera was installed in every household in the village. reported the case, there is no evidence to prove it, then they will not accept it, so the people in the village can't control Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng tasted the sweetness, and began to get worse, and the things he stole became more and more expensive. In the past, every household in this village didn't close their doors at night, but now, every household closes the door tightly every day after dark, and there are some glass shards on several walls, for fear that Zhang Heng will target their house again. ”
“……”
I looked at the old man and didn't know what to say.
If this is the case, then it is no wonder that those villagers showed that look when they talked about Zhang Heng just now.
"These can still be endured, and the most unbearable thing is that Zhang Heng is very lustful." The old man said.
Lascivious......
I seem to think that Zhang Heng was bitten by a snake at the base of his thigh.
"Zhang Heng is a person who likes to harass and molest the girls in the village, from thirty-year-old women to fourteen-year-old children, but he doesn't let go of anything that is a little bit of a gesture, and he usually uses words to tease him, just forget it, as soon as he seizes the opportunity, his hands and feet are not honest, and the villagers who have daughters in each family avoid this person, and when they see him from afar, they will take a detour in shock, and Zhang Heng also likes to peep and peek at the little girl taking a bath, which is commonplace. Give him a chance, and he can even steal the girl's underwear......"
The old man had an expression of hatred and couldn't bear to look at it.
I stood there with a messy expression, digesting the information from the old man's words.
According to what he said, this Zhang Heng is lazy and lustful, shameless and despicable, but people still have money, and people can't grasp the handle, you just want to sue him, there is no place to sue.
This guy is really ...... A wonderful flower in the village!
"Then did he marry a daughter-in-law?" Shen Yan asked.
"No, how can a girl like him marry him. Although he has money, according to his method, in a few years, he will be completely defeated, and he is not willing to work hard, the girl wants to marry him, and he will not be allowed to follow him to the street to ask for food in the future. ”
The old man shook his head and said.
"Then Zhang Heng doesn't have any relatives and friends?"
"Relatives? There were a few of his parents when they were there, since his parents died, his relatives have also cut off relations with him, as for friends, this kid has a few fox friends and dog friends, and they usually spend every day together, but they haven't seen much recently, it is estimated that Zhang Heng has that strange disease, and he is afraid of being infected, so he doesn't dare to come. ”
"Then he's really a loner now."
"This is what he asked for, and he can't blame others. Alright, I'll go back to take a nap, goodbye. The uncle sighed and walked slowly.
A few of us looked at the house that the uncle had just pointed out and walked over.
This is Zhang Heng's house, the house is a two-story small bungalow, the decoration is very good, but it looks a little dirty, and the garbage at the door is also flying all over the sky.
King Ling went up and knocked on the door, but there was no movement for a long time.
Could it be that Zhang Heng is not at home?
A few of us knocked on the door again and waited for a while, but there was still no movement in the courtyard.
"Let's go back first, and come back in the evening." I said.
We turned around and were just about to leave when we heard the sound of something collapsing in the courtyard.
"Anyone?"
"Bang bang-" I turned around and knocked on the door again, but no one opened the door or heard footsteps.
"His uncle, his uncle kicked the door smashed."
King Ling roared impatiently, raised his leg and was about to kick someone's door, I am dead, I am busy pulling him down, let him dissipate his anger, don't offend people, think long-term.
After returning to the hotel, we asked the proprietress about Zhang Heng again, and the answer we got was similar to what the old man on the side of the road said. In short, it is a sentence, Zhang Heng is a pest tumor in the village, there is no advantage in the whole body, it is all disadvantages, he lives to waste air, waste resources, and harm mankind.
"To the point of being a man to the point of Zhang Heng, there is no one left." I sat on a chair in the room and said to Lingzheng, "I suddenly thought of a possibility, the people here hate Zhang Heng so much, the injury at the root of Zhang Heng's leg that has not healed for a long time, could it be that the people in the village have poisoned Zhang Heng?" ”
