Chapter 340: The Mass Grave
But the little fox Mao Mao didn't seem to put the big black dog in his eyes at all, and he was still gnawing there with a peach, and this stupid fox didn't know how to survive. At this time, I saw the big black dog pounce on the little fox Mao Mao was stunned, sniffed with his nose, Zhong Dabiao had already pulled out the pistol, aiming at the big black dog was about to shoot, I stopped Zhong Dabiao at once and said: "Big brother, don't shoot first, Mao Mao has a way to deal with the big black dog." ”
After I finished speaking, I saw Mao Mao squeak twice at the big black dog, the sound was sharp, and the piercing eardrums were painful, after barking, the big black dog seemed to be stimulated, and he was so frightened that he stepped back, fell to the ground, and then turned over from the ground, and put his paws flat on the ground, and his head kept on the ground, as if he wanted to worship.
The little fox Maomao put his paws on the paws, and threw the peaches he was holding on the ground, squatting there to accept the worship of the big black dog, this scene directly shocked Zhou Baochang, Zhou Baochang hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I don't know that the fox fairy master is coming to the cold house, and he is disappointed, and I hope that the fox fairy master will forgive his sins." "Group number 206097480
I was about to bow down as I spoke, but then I stopped: "Zhou Baochang, don't bow down, it's Maomao, it's a naughty little fox, with us." ”
At this time, Luo Xihan had already passed, hugged the little fox, the little fox looked happy, Zhou Baochang was even more shocked, and said to us: "I can't imagine that a few people are masters, the fox fairies are all obeying you, the little old man has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he looks at a few Haihan." ”
I said: "Zhou Baochang, this little fox is what we met on the road, look at its elf, so I brought it here, if it is a fox fairy, how can it follow us?" ”
Zhou Baochang said: "It's the same thing, okay, a few small guests, please sit inside, I'll go and prepare some coarse tea and light rice, and everyone will eat some." ”
Zhou Baochang, an old man, eats by himself, usually does very little, and suddenly there are six of us, and he will definitely have a big head, so he said: "Zhou Baochang, you don't have to bother, we have the dry food we brought, your old man will get us some tea, let's talk while eating." ”
Zhou Baochang said: "This, how can this be done, this is not a gift of hospitality. ”
I said, "You're welcome, Chief Zhou, it's dark now, let's talk about the night owl." ”
Zhou Baochang heard the word night owl, his body couldn't help but tremble, and then he touched his body, took out a box of foreign fire, lit the foreign oil lamp on the table, and after lighting it, he turned things over on the table, I saw Zhou Baochang turn out a few masks, and then handed them to my hand and said: "Fortunately, I still have a few cat faces at home, and everyone wears them on their heads." ”
I took a look at it in my hand, these are the cat faces of big cats, staring at them one by one, with big mouths, and sharp teeth in their mouths, very powerful, I took the cat face and said, "Zhou Baochang, this is?" ”
Zhou Baochang said: "This is very useful, it can prevent night owls, as long as we wear this mask to sleep at night, night owls will not dare to eat people's brains, so the people in our village, every household has this thing." ”
Talking to take a flower mother pot, we were a kind of clay pot at that time, and the red brick about the same color, more delicate than the red brick, there are ears on both sides, you can tie the rope, there is a spout in front, very short kind, this kind of clay pot, our home is used to make tea, the tea used is the kind of soil tea in the countryside, collected on the fifth day of May, fried in the pot, grab a handful when making tea, the tea soup is golden yellow, and it is very refreshing to drink to the mouth.
Zhou Baochang brought a clay pot, found some bowls, poured a big bowl of tea for us, we took out the dry food, sauce meat, and fritters bought in the bazaar, we made some for Zhou Baochang, and then everyone gathered around the table to eat, at this time Zhou Baochang saw that we were not wearing the mask, and quickly asked us to put it on, looking at Zhou Baochang's face, he looked very anxious, and we put the mask on the back of his head. Zhou Baochang saw that we put it on, so he was relieved.
After we got it, we began to eat with a big bowl of tea, and while eating, we chatted with Zhou Baochang, asking about the cause and effect of this night owl, Zhou Baochang said: "This matter has to start from 20 years ago, 20 years ago, when the Republic of China was just founded, when the world was in chaos, we had a terrible plague.
That has to start with a war, in a valley not far from us, the Qing army royalists and the Republic of China army, there was a war, there were corpses everywhere at that time, our people in the village, were pulled to bury the corpses, buried for several days, the place where the corpses were buried became a mass grave, the smell of rancid smell in summer was smoked for two or three miles, no one in the village dared to walk that road.
But there is a bold man, the bold, nicknamed the second stunned, he walks that road every day, every time he comes back, he brings back some scattered gold and silver, everyone asks him what to do, he doesn't say a word, slowly everyone finds that something is wrong, the body of the two flutes, always with a strong smell of corpses, once the second stunned man came back, his body was injured, bleeding black blood, and his eyes were full of red silk.
As soon as he came back, he began to have a high fever, and he was sober for a while and confused. How did you get hurt? The second stunned man said his own things intermittently, it turned out that when he buried the corpses, the second stunned found that many dead corpses were carrying money, although not a lot, but there was a little bit on each corpse, and he didn't tell anyone about it.
After burying the corpse, more than a month had passed, and the smell of corpses in the valley made the passers-on not dare to take that road, and when he saw that no one dared to take that road, he started to have a crooked idea. He carried a shovel and a hoe, and went to the valley, because there were too many dead people, and the smell of corpses was very strong, so he plugged his nose with mugwort, and then took ginger in his mouth to reduce the smell of corpses, it was summer, and those corpses were rotten and swollen greatly, but driven by money, he still endured the stench and looked for money on the corpses.
Erlenzi can be said to be bold, looking for money in the pile of dead, put it on others and scared to death, because the money is easy to come, Erlenzi quickly became rich, and the group of fox friends and dog friends, drinking wine, eating meat and shopping kilns, anyway, the money is picked up for nothing, although it smells of corpses, but no one has a grudge against money, one by one to see the money open, who asked how the money came from.
One day Erlenzi went to dig up the corpse again, this day happened to be cloudy, the sky was very gloomy, there was no trace of sunlight, it was a standard night owl day, such a day, it was said that he could not go, but Erlenzi was obsessed with money, and went to dig up the corpse. This time he went to dig behind a stone, the soil there was different from other places, it was a kind of black soil, and in other places, the soil covering the corpse was crawling with ants and flies, but in that place, there were no such things, but the second stunned man understood in his heart that he had buried a big official with his own hands here, and there must have been a lot of gold and silver on the body of the big official.
So he began to dig down in that place, digging a few times, he felt that the place was unusual, from the ground all the way up the cool air, he couldn't help but sneeze a few times, there was a bad premonition in his heart, but he was eager for money, or couldn't help digging down, and finally dug up the corpse, when he dug up the corpse, something strange happened, I saw the corpse lying in a hole, when it was buried, it was compacted with soil, and there was no gap, but this one had a big gap, and what was even more terrible was that The corpse was covered in white hair, with scratches on its face, its clothes were scratched, and the flesh hung in bits and pieces.
The second stunned man saw this corpse, his heart was cold, he dug up the corpse for many days, although it was also terrible, but those were rotten, and this corpse did not decompose, looking at the appearance of the corpse, it should have become like this after it was buried. The second stunned man looked at it for a while, if he wasn't greedy for money, it would be fine to cover it at this time, but the second stunned man was a greedy for money, and he wouldn't know that a catastrophe was coming.
At this time, the second stunned man saw a jade plaque in the dead man's waist, so he went down to the pit he dug, and then squatted down and reached out to take the jade plaque.
