Chapter 757: The Ghost Mother-in-law of the Land Ghost
Her grandfather, who was left with only a headless corpse, stood motionless in the middle of the crowd of people who surrounded him, holding the mallet used to beat the wooden drum in his hand, as if his head suddenly disappeared from the corpse at the moment when the hammer fell!
She was so frightened that her face immediately turned white, and she forgot to cry, and she was about to sit on the ground as soon as her legs were weak, but in the end she was hugged by her mother so that she did not fall.
Wu Yi could completely imagine the terrifying scene at that time, and couldn't help but tremble, and said after a while,
"What the hell is going on? How could a good person lose his head all of a sudden? ”
The blind man whispered beside him,
"Could it be that it happened to be ...... when it was a landslide"
Wang Lumiao glanced at the blind man and nodded,
"Well, it's a landslide, after my grandfather took people into the mountain, probably because there were too many of us, and the movement was too big, which caused a partial collapse of the mountain, like an avalanche, there was a very thin stone flake, which was rotated diagonally from above, and it happened to cut off my grandfather's head.
In fact, one of his shoulders was also cut off at that time, and the whole arm was still attached to the flesh and skin, and I could tear the arm off with a single pull, but I was really frightened at the time and didn't notice these details.
I only remember that at that time, the villagers were just like me, and they were also stupid by the scene in front of them, standing in place and shivering, and many people were still muttering in their mouths, saying that the mountain god was angry, the mountain god was angry, and the last person to react first was my grandmother. ”
When Wang Lumiao said this, a trace of panic appeared in her eyes, I don't know if she was afraid of the headless corpse or afraid of her grandmother, but from what she described next, Wu Yi and the others understood that the panic she revealed at this time was aimed at her grandmother.
Wang Lumiao said that her grandmother was a very independent woman, not tall, and she was not smiling on weekdays, and many children and even adults in the village were afraid of her.
'Land Ghost' is an authentic Miao language, which translates into Chinese to mean 'Land Bodhisattva Temple', which is generally a very simple land temple made of a few stones, which is located in the village for the villagers to worship.
And 'ghost woman' is a kind of honorific title, that is, the person responsible for cleaning the land Bodhisattva temple, because the Miao people are very fearful of ghosts and gods, so few people are willing to be ghost women, afraid that they accidentally offend the ghosts and gods and cause unwarranted disasters, but her grandmother is willing to be the ghost woman in the village, and this is more than ten years, until she gets married and has children, according to the rules of the village, she can not continue to do it.
In the more than ten years when her grandmother was a ghost wife, many villagers had seen her grandmother sitting alone in the land Bodhisattva temple in the middle of the night, facing the statue of the gods, chanting words in her mouth, at that time there were rumors that her grandmother was a yin person, who could communicate with ghosts and gods, that is, from that time, the people in the village became in awe of grandma, and at that time, grandma was just a big girl less than twenty years old.
Therefore, when that kind of thing happened in the mountains at that time, only a bold person like her grandmother was the first to react.
Talking about her grandmother's reaction at the time, Wang Lumiao's face looked a little unnatural, she said that her grandmother was the same as usual, neither crying nor making trouble, but walked calmly to the headless corpse, gently pulled down the corpse's arm holding the gavel high, held the other party's two hands, and said something very calmly.
Wang Lumiao was also carried by her mother at that time, so she could hear what her grandmother said, at first she thought that her grandmother was calling her grandfather's name, but after listening carefully, she found that it was not, grandma was using a very strange tone, back and forth, repeating a sentence, like a spell,
"Come back, come back, I'll bring you back to life......"
"Come back, come back, I'll bring you back to life......"
……
I don't know how many times my grandmother read it at that time, but she finally stopped, and swept around the villagers who were standing stupidly, and those villagers suddenly took two steps back in awe as if they had been shocked, and even hugged their mother, and involuntarily retreated backwards.
"Grandma still didn't speak to anyone at that time, so she staggered over and took Grandpa's severed human head out from under the stone splinter a few meters away, and I glanced at the human head, the flesh and blood were blurred, the eyes were wide open, and the mouth was still open, as if she was still shouting the name of the 'mountain god' before she died.
Grandma closed Grandpa's eyes, and then asked Dad to hold Grandpa's corpse and say, 'Let's go home,' and I immediately started sweating, because I had a gut feeling that she was not saying this to my father, but to Grandpa. ”
Wang Lumiao said this, paused, took a big sip of the water cup and drank a few sips, maybe she didn't feel happy, and asked Wu Yi if he had any spicy wine, Wu Yi made a look, and the demon Taoist priest immediately went to the cabinet to get a bottle, she opened it and directly picked up the bottle and poured it twice, wiped the corners of her mouth before continuing,
"I also told you just now, that big wooden drum is an artifact in the village to communicate with the mountain god, and the whole village is just this one, which is still handed down from the ancestors.
So the village chief at that time, when he saw that his grandmother was going to bring back his grandfather's body, he stood up and stopped his grandmother, saying that you can go, but the sacrifice of worshipping the mountain god must continue, so you have to leave the divine drum on your grandfather's body. ”
"I. Damn, this village chief is sick, everyone is dead in the house, and he worships a bird mountain god, if worshipping the mountain god really works, that person will not die! ”
The fat man said scoldingly.
Wang Lumiao glanced at the fat man and said leisurely,
"The Drum Society Festival is only held once every seven years, and this festival is held in Miao. It occupies a very important position in the clan society, so although the village chief's actions were not very benevolent, in retrospect, it is understandable. ”
"Then your grandmother handed over the things?"
The fat man said.
Wang Lumiao shook her head,
"I told you at the beginning, Miao. People have always believed that all living beings, after death, the souls of the dead will live in the wooden drum, so my grandmother should think that grandpa's dead soul is also in the wooden drum, so naturally she will not hand over the wooden drum that grandpa is carrying.
She was standing there, holding her grandfather's head, staring straight at the village chief, not saying anything, just staring at ......"
