Chapter 5: Childhood Nightmares

The matter of the eldest brother was the biggest news in Shili Eight Villages, but as the eldest brother will not enter the twelve ghost caves this year, and there is a strange rule of only fishing for the living and not the dead, and there are actually not so many drowning people, the heat of the matter quickly subsided. I have to say that because of the fame of my eldest brother, I have also become a celebrity, and others used to think that I was a college student and village official in the village, but now I have an additional label, that is, Sun Zhongmou's younger brother.

A lot of things are so dramatic, it was a helpless move to send my eldest brother out back then, although it was to send him out, in fact, my mother's original intention was not to let him suffer, and at the same time to let the family afford me, but he experienced ups and downs after being passed out, maybe it was his unique experience over the years that created his ability and character.

I sometimes think, if it was me who was sent out back then, would the fate of me and my eldest brother change and I become a hero-like character?

The answer, of course, is unknown.

That time, after I came back with 100,000 yuan from my eldest brother, my eldest brother sent another 50,000 yuan, plus the family had some savings on weekdays, I discussed it with my mother, and I was ready to take it out to repair the house. As a result, before the construction began, something happened in the village.

This incident is related to the Chen Shishi family, and this Chen Shishi family is the last person I want to contact in the village, which is related to one of my childhood experiences.

It all started in the fourth year after my father's death, when my father died in my mother's womb, so I was just three years old.

Chen Shishi, the poorest in our village, picked up a stupid woman from the outside, the woman looked stupid, and she had saliva in her mouth all day long, which was very ugly, but because Chen Shishi was in her thirties and did not have a daughter-in-law, on the one hand, he wanted to vent his animal desires, and on the other hand, in order to pass on the lineage, he locked this woman in an iron chain at home as a daughter-in-law.

Chen Shishi's father died early, the family was very poor, and he had already passed the age of marriage, and there was no way to do this, but he also had a younger brother named Chen Laogen who was two years younger than him, and he was not young, knowing that his brother had found such a woman, he actually took advantage of his brother to go out to work and touched into the house, anyway, the stupid woman didn't understand anything, just give her a nest head.

This matter was soon known by Chen Shishi, and the brothers fought a fight and lost both, and then the two of them simply pondered, according to the first day of the lunar calendar, the odd number will be the eldest, and the even number will be the second. In just a few years, the stupid girl gave birth to three children, all of whom are men, although I don't know whether it is the eldest or the second, but after all, it is also considered to be in the same vein, and the two don't care, so they call the eldest father and the second one "Da." ”

After another two years, Chen Laogen got sick and died, it stands to reason that this is a good thing, no one robs women with Chen Shishi anymore, who knows that Chen Laogen will make trouble after the first seven days, and he will dream of Chen Shishi all day long and say that he misses a woman, saying that he enjoys it in the yang world but does not know that he is lonely below.

Chen Shi was tortured all day long, and then he thought of a way, found a paper craftsman to tie a few women for Chen Laogen and burned them, and after burning, it really stopped for a few days, but a few days later, Chen Laogen dreamed again, saying that if you hold a real woman, you will use paper paste to fool my brother, this thing can't be done. Chen Shishi asked what do you want, Chen Laogen was not polite, and said that if you let a woman come down to accompany me, I will never bother you again.

Not many days later, the chain of the stupid woman who had been locked at home suddenly broke off and fell into the river and drowned, and the people in the village said that the chain was a chain that tied a dog, as thick as a child's arm, and the stupid woman must have been struggling, which happened to be tired of the stupid woman, Chen Shishi, who was just tired of the stupid woman, deliberately harmed the stupid woman in order to deal with Chen Laogen. But this is just a suspicion, no one has seen it with their own eyes, Chen Shishi does not admit it, besides, a fool who doesn't know where to pick it up, he will die when he dies.

And I, so dead and alive, became the last person to see the fool.

I was fishing for shrimp by the river alone that day, and suddenly I heard someone screaming in the river, so I ran over to look, and saw that it was a fool floating and sinking in the water, and it was not going to float and drown, and there happened to be a small branch on the ground, I quickly grabbed it and handed it to the fool and asked her to catch me and pull her up, but the fool is so adult, how can I be a child of a few years old? She almost pulled me into the water, and the fool looked at me in the water, smiled at me, and then let go of the branch and slowly sank. At that time, I didn't understand why the fool smiled at me at that time, but when I grew up, I realized that she was thanking, and the meaning of that smile was that I didn't bother you, child. That's what I always feel like maybe that fool isn't really stupid.

I was the only eyewitness to the fool's death, and I also became the evidence that Chen Shi proved his innocence, once others said that he killed the fool, he would pull me out and say: "The child told the truth in his mouth, and the leaves said it, and the fool fell into the water by himself." ”

In fact, in those days, I was scared every day because I watched a person fall into the water and drown, and I had to sleep in my mother's arms, but then one thing happened, almost the nightmare of my life, and now that I have grown up, I almost didn't go crazy because of this.

It was all after the fool's death, the body was fished out after the fool's death, Chen Shishi was poor and couldn't afford to buy a coffin at all, so he found a broken quilt and buried the fool, and buried it next to his brother Chen Laogen's grave, which is also one of the strong evidence that the villagers said that he killed the fool, but Chen Shishi's explanation is that they are a family and naturally want to be buried together, of course, this is a foreign language.

After Chen Laogen's death, he gave Chen Shishi a dream because Chen Shishi came out and said it, and no one saw it, but the strange thing after the fool's death was seen in the whole village. On the morning after the first seven days, the stupid woman walked naked at the door of Chen Shishi's house. The villagers all saw it and said to Chen Shishi: "Stone, stone, this is a fool who came to you to seek revenge and ask for her life, although she is stupid in the yang world, she not only vented to your two brothers but also gave birth to three children in your family, you also killed her, she is here to seek revenge!" ”

Although Chen Shishi was not lightly frightened, he still did not admit that he was the fool he killed. I carried the fool alone and buried it. Who knows that this matter is not over, the next morning after Erqi, the fool is still lying motionless in that position, Chen Shishi found out in the morning and scolded along the street: "I fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations, I Chen Shishi said that the fool was not killed by me, if anyone has an opinion on me, let's confront me face to face, don't pretend to be a ghost behind your back to scare Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is scared?!" ”

At this time, Chen Shi was like a mad dog, and everyone didn't provoke him, but behind his back, who was idle and had nothing to do to dig up the fool's body and scare him? If it weren't for the fool he killed, why would the fool die and still be unforgiving to him? Everyone also said that even if the body is buried again, it is useless, fool, there is something wrong with it, and if the matter is not done, it will definitely not stop, as for what it is, it must be to kill people to pay for their lives.

Sure enough, after Chen Shishi buried the fool's body again, the fool's body appeared at Chen Shishi's door again, and he had been dead for more than 20 days and tossed back and forth, the corpse had already stinked, and his stomach was bulging very big, and half of the village was filled with the smell of disgusting people.

The villagers asked Chen Shishi why he didn't scold this time, and at this time, Chen Shishi, who was almost emotionally broken, howled in fright and cried: "It's not you who hurt me, I didn't sleep all night last night, I watched the fool walk back by himself!" ”

Listening to Chen Shishi say this, and then look at the corpse on the ground, the villagers are also frightened, really at this time, no one wants this corpse to continue to make trouble, not only Chen Shishi is not peaceful, the people in the village dare not walk at night, so he said to Chen Shishi: "Stone, whether the person was killed by you or not, the fool has something to say when he comes back like this, or you find a gentleman to take a look, Mrs. Wang of the next village is very good to see this, you go to her to see." ”

Chen Shi was also obedient this time, went to the next village to call Mrs. Wang over, Mrs. Wang circled around the fool's corpse, lit three sticks of incense, and didn't know what to say in her mouth, and after a while she said to Chen Shishi: "The fool's life is hard, no one has treated her well in her life, but someone pulled her before she died, and she wanted to say thank you to that person through my mouth." ”

At that time, I was also in the crowd of onlookers, as soon as Mrs. Wang said this, everyone immediately looked at me, and I was almost scared to cry, especially Chen Shishi, as soon as I heard Mrs. Wang say this, I walked in front of me and made a few heads, and I kept saying thank you.

Mrs. Wang just said so much and left, and the onlookers dispersed, and everyone was still talking about the fact that fools are also affectionate and righteous, and before they died, someone pulled a handful and knew that they would come back to thank them, but Chen Shishi was too ruthless on the dog day. Everyone also said that I had a good heart at a young age, and I would definitely be rewarded when I grew up.

At that time, it was very hot, and it was hard to sleep at night in the house, so I slept in the yard with my grandfather every day to enjoy the coolness, and I had fallen asleep that night, and suddenly woke up to feel a burst of heat, and when I woke up, I saw that Chen Shi was burning a pile of paper money, and I opened my mouth and said, "Uncle Shi, what are you doing?" ”

Turning his head to see, isn't this the grave of a fool and Chen Laogen? When I saw this, I was so frightened that I peed on my crotch in an instant, and I couldn't even cry.
