Chapter 51: The Blood in the Bowl Is Not Dry
My uncle continued, "I knew in my heart that I had done my own sin, so I begged the child to take me to the priest, and the child finally agreed to let us go to the priest, and the child led us to a cemetery, which was full of graves, and the people who watched it were chilled, and did not know what the child was leading us into the graveyard.
Your aunt and I murmured in our hearts, asking where the child was taking us? The child said, "Don't you want to see my grandmother?" That's what I'm taking with you. ”
I looked at the desolate graves around me and thought to myself, how could this goddess be so weird, how could she live in a desolate cemetery? I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to ask, and followed the child for a while, and saw a small courtyard, in which there were three thatched houses, and the child pointed to the thatched houses and said, "Go in, my grandmother lives in it, but my grandmother has a strange temper, you should be careful, I will lead you, my grandmother will definitely be angry, I will go first." ”
After saying that, the child jumped and turned to the grave pile, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and your aunt and I looked at the three huts in the graveyard, and felt hairy, but we had already arrived at this place, so we could only go in. So your aunt and I stepped into the courtyard, and as soon as we entered the courtyard, we found that the yard was overgrown with weeds, as if there was no one living in this courtyard at all, and the whole courtyard was very broken, and the doors and windows of the three thatched huts were scattered.
I thought to myself, was I being deceived by that kid? As soon as we entered the village, the boy told us to go back, and now he has led us to this desolate place. Thinking about it, we have no grievances with that child, why did he lie to us, maybe the masters like tranquility, and the goddess lived here on purpose.
So we walked towards the house, and as we went, we said, "Is there anyone?" Is the elderly at home? ”
We screamed a few times, but no one answered, so we arrived at the door, I reached out and pushed the door open, and the door creaked, and a strong musty smell came to my face, and I quickly hid to the side, and waited for the musty smell to dissipate, and then I looked into the house, and looked towards the house, and found that the room was dark and rumbling, and I couldn't see clearly, but I saw a table in the house, and there were several bowls on the table, and I saw that there was still food in the bowls, and I knew that there must be people living here, So he pushed the two doors open and shouted, "Are you at home, old man?" We're here to see you. ”
As he spoke, he went into the house, and when he entered the room, he saw a man sitting on the west side of the room, who was thin and full of white hair, and she sat quietly as if she were asleep. Needless to say, this is the goddess, so I said to the goddess, "Old man, are you asleep?" We're here to take a look at you. ”
Then the goddess suddenly said in a gloomy and hoarse voice, "Didn't I tell you? This disease is caused by yourself, and I can't see this. ”
The voice made people's hairs stand on end, but we came to beg this goddess, although we were afraid of her voice, but we were still there begging bitterly, begging the goddess to show us, at this time the goddess slowly turned her head, her eyes looked straight at us, and I and your aunt were scared to take a few steps back, this goddess was too scary, a thin face, the skin and flesh were all pasted on the face, looking similar to a skeleton, especially those eyes, deep in the eye sockets, almost no pupils, The whole is white. Fortunately, it was daytime, and we knew who it was, and if it was night, we would definitely think of this goddess as an old ghost crawling out of the grave.
The goddess first stared at me, I was uncomfortable, and then she stared at your aunt, first at her belly, and then at her back, as if there was something behind her, and the goddess looked at it for a while and said, "When is the time for retribution, you are from this house, right?" ”
I hurriedly said, "Old man, are you talking to me?" ”
The goddess shook her head and said, "No, I'm talking to the child your daughter-in-law is carrying. ”
When I heard this, I was scared and shuddered, and quickly looked at your aunt, looked up and down, and found nothing, your aunt was still the same as usual, with a big belly, and there was nothing abnormal. I said, "My daughter-in-law is not carrying a child on her back." ”
The goddess said, "Whether you can carry the child or not, you know it in your own heart, and I don't need to say much about this." Alas, go away, I can't control your business. Destiny should have and there should be eventuality, and there is no need to force it, if you force it, you have to bear the cause and effect yourself. ”
As soon as I heard this, I quickly knelt down for the goddess, and then begged the goddess to crack it, and the goddess shook her head and said, "I can't crack this for you, and I don't dare to crack it, so let's teach you a way to see if it can work." ”
I hurriedly kowtowed to thank the goddess, but the goddess just shook her head and said, "I knew why I had to do it today, this method is also an expedient measure, it depends on whether the resentful spirit can forgive you." Listen to me, after you go home today, find a red rooster, a bowl of millet, and when the time comes, after you kill the chicken, pour the chicken blood on the millet, put it in a place where the sun does not see, it is best to put it in the tank, after 7749 days, if the chicken blood is dry, your misfortune will be gone, if you don't do it, you don't have to come to me, find a way for yourself. ”
After saying that, he turned around silently and never looked at us again. Your aunt and I had to go home, find a red rooster and a bowl of millet, and in the middle of the night, kill the big rooster, and then pour the blood of the chicken on the millet and put it in a place where the sun does not see. Since this was done, the family has been peaceful, your aunt is the same as usual, there is no reaction in the stomach, we are glad to have found a master, no, I didn't expect your aunt to hang herself today. ”
When my uncle said this, he lay on the ground and cried, crying and saying sorry for my aunt, if there is regret medicine, he would rather not have children, and live with two people for the rest of his life. Crying is really called that sadness, and the clay man will cry when he hears it. My uncle cried and cried and suddenly stopped crying, and muttered there: "Chicken blood, millet, today is the 7749th day, I, I ......"
After saying that, I got up and ran, I hurriedly followed behind my uncle, my uncle came to a tank, with a trembling hand, opened the tank, and then took out a thing from the tank, I saw that my uncle was holding a bowl in his hand, the bowl was a bowl of millet with blood, the blood on it seemed to have just been drenched, my uncle glared, looked at the chicken blood in the bowl, and said: "The blood is not dry, the blood is not dry, I know why your aunt suddenly hanged herself, retribution, retribution, all this is retribution." ”
My uncle was talking, when suddenly the bowl in his hand cracked and fell to the ground with a bang, and the millet grains with blood flew everywhere. My uncle and I were stunned and stood there stunned. After a while, my uncle cried there again, and I knew that my uncle's heart was extremely sad.
Someone died in the family, the funeral had to be done, and the people in their own family discussed how to send news to relatives and friends tomorrow, especially the mother's family, this must be made clear, otherwise the light one will be beaten, and the heavy one will even be smashed to the ground by my uncle's things. In fact, this has something to do with the customs of the time. At that time, the little daughter-in-law was often angry with the old woman, the old woman seemed to be the same as the wolf grandmother in the cartoon, the mother-in-law in feudal society dominated everything about the daughter-in-law, and could bully the daughter-in-law at will, and the daughter-in-law could not resist, so that at that time, before dawn, there was a little daughter-in-law who carried water, grinding and crushing with her little feet, I remember when I was a child, there were many little daughters-in-law who jumped into the river and hanged themselves.
There is a saying that explains the situation at that time thoroughly, the thousand-year-old waterway flows into a river, and the daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for thirty years, and only by becoming a mother-in-law can she no longer be bullied. Therefore, if it is an accidental death, the mother-in-law will never spare the mother-in-law's family, my aunt is hanged, if this matter is not clear, my uncle's beating must be indispensable, and it is light to smash half to death, so this matter has to find someone who understands to say.
