Saving a person's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, but if you save the wrong person, what will be the result?

Sun Xiaomei said: "At that time, we didn't think about it so much. The countrymen, although their lives are tight, but the folk customs are relatively simple, and they can't see others suffering. Just when the man's body began to sway from side to side and he was unsteady on his feet, my father-in-law stepped forward in time to help him. ”

"Is that person sick?" Xing Ruyi asked, although she had other answers in her own heart.

"It's not sick, it's hungry and thirsty. We took him to a shady place, fed him some water, ate some dry food, and woke up. I heard that we saved him, and that person was naturally full of gratitude, he said that he was alone, with no long things, and the only thing he was good at was fortune telling, saying that he could help us calculate a hexagram. ”

"Have you all counted?"

"Originally, I wanted to calculate it, but when the village chief came, he dispersed us. However, I heard that the man calculated a hexagram for the village chief, saying that his father would not live to spring, and also helped find a yin house for him, saying that the feng shui was excellent and could bless future generations. ”

"And then?"

"And then? Nothing then anymore. The man had only been in our village for a day and was gone. But the village chief's father, as he calculated, did not survive the spring. After his death, he was not buried in the ancestral grave of the village chief's house, but was buried somewhere else. After hearing about this incident, my father-in-law was depressed for many days, saying that if it weren't for the village chief, our family should tell fortunes, and I would know if the future would be good. However, it is superfluous to say anything at the moment, this God does not tell us to live, even if we hold on, how long can we last. ”

Sun Xiaomei said, she burst into tears, Xing Ruyi comforted her, and saw that the effect was not great, so she grabbed the other party's wrist and said: "Why don't I help you calculate a hexagram, although my way of calculating the hexagram is different from their Taoism, but it may be more accurate than them." ”

"The girl also knows the fortune telling?" Sun Xiaomei stopped crying and looked at Xing Ruyi with a curious expression: "Actually, the girl's matter, the little sister also listened to my brother. The girl can solve such a big matter as the old mansion of the Gou family, and this fortune-telling and divination matter is not difficult for the girl. I don't care about myself, I'm just worried about my child, whether the girl can help my child do a hexagram to see if he can survive the catastrophe in front of him. ”

"I don't need divination to know that you and your child will definitely be able to get through the current difficulties."

"Why is the girl so sure?"

"If I don't even have that confidence, why did you let your brother stop my carriage?" Xing Ruyi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's good to put your heart in your stomach, I will try my best to help solve the affairs in your village, and as for you and your children, they will definitely be safe." ”

"Thank you, girl! Look at me, I forgot when I was so sad. What the girl said was that if she didn't trust the girl's ability, why would the little sister beg her brother to invite the girl. It's just that the thing the girl just asked about is probably related to the drought in our village? ”

"I'm not sure yet, I'll have to wait until I get to your village." Xing Ruyi said, glancing at the fox. Since beating Sun Xiaomei and getting into the car, the fox has been pretending to sleep, but Xing Ruyi knows that the fox has listened to all the conversations between her and Sun Xiaomei. As for Sun Xiaomei, although she was very sad, her eyes still couldn't help but glance at the fox from time to time. It wasn't until Li Mao came and urged her to get out of the carriage that she asked, "Is this son the girl's family?" ”

"This is Master Yin, the fiancé of my family's shopkeeper!" Li Mao introduced on the side, Sun Xiaomei whispered, and then blessed the fox: "Yin Gongzi's character and appearance, with a girl, it is really a rare pair." ”

"I also think I'm lucky." Xing Ruyi said, resting his hand on the fox's lap. The fox didn't open his eyes, and directly held Xing Ruyi's with his hand. Sun Xiaomei's expression was slightly unnatural, and she turned around and returned to the donkey cart of the shopkeeper Sun.

After Sun Xiaomei left, Li Mao pursed his lips and said, "It seems that the face of our family Yin Ye has invisibly tempted a good woman. This Sun Xiaomei is also yes, before she took off her filial piety clothes, she had admiration for the man next to her, but it's a pity that Yin Ye is not something that a mortal woman like her can think of. ”

"But every beautiful thing will always make people can't help but look at it twice, I don't think that Sun Xiaomei is like you said." Xing Ruyi said and lowered the curtain: "There is news from Brother Chang's side, Yin Yuan's kid, I don't know if he will meet Brother Chang." ”

"Don't worry, our master, it's not an ordinary person. I guess I'll get the news in a day or two. ”

"That being said, mothers always think about their children, don't they? Besides, if Yin Yuan is here, the left sentence of wishful motherhood and the right sentence of fox father can also block the cranky hearts of some women. ”

"Tsk, the shopkeeper just said that I am not so nervous." Li Mao said, and lightly waved his whip.

In the carriage, the fox opened her eyes, looked at Xing Ruyi with a smile on her face, and nodded her nose: "You, are you feeling proud in your heart?" ”

"Where? It's obviously angry and jealous! Xing Ruyi said, lowered his head and looked for a bag of dried fruits.

"I didn't see it when I was angry, and I didn't smell the vinegar smell when I was jealous, I think you have other ideas." The fox stretched out his hand and dragged Xing Ruyi over: "I warn you, don't use me for experiments, you know very well in your heart that I am the most beautiful flower in the world, attracting not only bees, but also butterflies." ”

"Isn't it a wild bee and a butterfly? To be honest, I really want to try it, how attractive is this face of my husband? Xing Ruyi said, gently bumped the fox with his shoulder, and then leaned over on his lap, eating dried fruits, and asked, "You didn't use your fox clan's charm just now, did you?" ”

"Do you think I need to use it?" The fox asked rhetorically, and flicked it on Xing Ruyi's skull: "Don't be thinking nonsense, the next thing you have to deal with may be a drought, while you are still free, do your homework, so as not to be in a hurry and lose your Ruyi rouge shop shopkeeper's demeanor." ”

"Dryland?" Hearing this word, Xing Ruyi immediately got up.

The drought is a monster that causes drought in ancient Chinese myths and legends, and there is also a record of the drought in the book Zi Buyu, saying that it "wears a beard and walks on one foot". In the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Mei was silent as a continuation, and had a new explanation for the drought, saying that "the corpse became a drought, and then it became a drought." In other words, this drought is most likely a zombie.

Regarding the fact that the drought is a zombie, in addition to Yuan Mei's continuation of the silence, it is also recorded in some other classics. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a story that happened in the ninth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty. In the story, it is said that in a place called Gaomi, where there has been no rain for a long time, the villagers have prayed for rain many times to no avail, and the situation is very similar to the village where Sun Xiaomei lives today. Later, some people found that the grave of Li Xiande, a villager who died of illness at the beginning of the year, was damp, and it was rumored that Li Xiande became a drought after his death. When the villagers heard about this, regardless of the opposition of the Li family, they dug open the grave, opened the coffin, and saw that Li Xian's body did not have the slightest ** phenomenon, so they burned Li Xiande's body. As for whether this Li Xiande is a drought or not, it is not clear in the story.

Xing Ruyi told the fox this story, and the fox smiled faintly and said, "Drought fish, the legendary monster that can cause drought. Most people in the mortal world believe that it is changed by the dead within 100 days of death. As for the dead man after the transformation into a drought, it is very similar to the story you just told, and its characteristics are threefold: first, the corpse does not decompose, and even the dead are lifelike, as if they are asleep. If it is a longer period of time, it will also give birth to some visions, one is more and more like a monster, and the other is the opposite, becoming more and more like a living person. Of course, no matter how much this dartfish looks like a living person, it is still a dead man, no breathing, no heartbeat, and cannot speak, but its eyes can move freely, and its hair and nails can not only continue to grow, but also dominate and move, and second, no grass grows on the grave. Although this drought is not a ghost, it is also an evil thing, so the grave grass does not grow three is the grave water seepage, as for the water seepage on this grave, the rumor is that this drought will take advantage of the night to carry water to their own home. Only when the drought is burned, as the story says, will it rain in the sky and the drought will be lifted. ”

"So, that story is true?"

"I still remember when I first came to your house, Ruyi, you once said to me that art comes from life. The reason why this incident will be recorded separately and even handed down must have its significance of being recorded and circulated, in other words, this incident is true, and after the villagers burned Li Xiande to death, God did rain and alleviate the drought. Otherwise, the end of the story must be something else. ”

"I remember that at the end of the story, it seems to be written that the people of the Li family sued the villagers in court because of this incident, but because there is no precedent for this case, the criminal department only sentenced the two leaders, and the case was hastily concluded. However, from ancient times to the present, these yamen also have their own set of rules, and the more unspeakable the case, the more hastily it must be understood, and there is no follow-up record. ”

The fox smiled lightly, but Xing Ruyi couldn't hold it back, she grabbed the fox's arm and hurriedly asked: "If this drought is really caused by the drought, is it possible that I also have to learn what is written in the story, dig up the corpse, and then burn it?" ”

"If only it were that easy!" The fox rubbed Xingruyi's hair: "If it's just a simple burn, why should I let you do your homework in advance? That story, most of the scary part is covered up! ”

"Oh my God!" Xing Ruyi stroked his forehead with his hand: "It's difficult, I still have to fight with that thing"

"Not really!" The fox shook his head: "My family Ruyi is also the shopkeeper of the rouge shop, isn't there a young man driving outside?" Rough work like fighting, just leave it to him. ”
