As the saying goes, when people die, their hands are spread out, whether they are gold, silver, treasures or beauties, nothing is born or brought to death, there is no need to catch it anymore, only in extreme tension and fear of death, and when death with a very heavy resentment, people's hands will be clenched, such a death is very rare, not to mention that it is not something else that is tightly held, but their own head.

Qingyun was so frightened that his head was covered with sweat, and he said to Kongtongzi in a trembling voice: "Master, uncle, the ancestor back then, the ancestor he ......."

"Smack!" Before he could finish speaking, Kongtongzi slapped him heavily, "The ancestor is also something that you and other juniors can discuss, and when you encounter a little thing, you will panic, what kind of system!" What a system!! ”

Qingyun was beaten twice, and immediately sobered up a lot, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, bowed his head and said, "Uncle Shi has taught him a lesson." He looked elsewhere.

The Miao couple was still crying, so I stepped forward and asked directly, "Is there a sacred tree here?" ”

The Miao man was extremely emotional, and blurted out: "I don't know the sacred tree of the ball, I only know that the old madman killed my son in order to take revenge, and I will definitely let him pay for my son's life today." While scolding, he picked up the scimitar and rushed out.

The pain of losing a child has made him lose his mind, this is his most vulnerable time, at this moment, he should not lie, I must have never heard of the sacred tree, I regret that the question just now was too reckless, but seeing that the Miao man was about to go out, he said in a hurry: "Why does the crazy old man want to take revenge on you?" ”

The Miao man stopped, turned around and frowned, and shouted, "What does our Miao family's affairs have to do with you?" ”

His answer was full of suspicion and resistance, and I regretted it even more, I wanted to ask something when their psychological defense was weak, but it turned out to make people wary, if they didn't get to the point, the chance of asking the truth would be smaller and smaller.

I heard Xia Ti continue: "Doesn't that Duo'er's matter have anything to do with you?" ”

This sentence is very clever to ask, if the crazy old man wants to take revenge on them, it can only be for the "Duo'er" in his mouth, and this deception is very successful.

The Miao man was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What does Ah Duo's matter have to do with us, you guys get out of here." Anger betrayed his timidity, and the more he rushed to end the conversation, the more uneasy he was.

I was very satisfied with his reaction, remembering that Kongtongzi said that Master Zu went to several villages back then, so I moved a bamboo chair, sat down, and continued to lie in a pretentious manner: "To be honest, we all know about those villages." ”

When I mentioned "those villages", everyone's eyes were on me, even the woman and the old lady who had been crying all at once stopped crying, and the Miao man looked at me in horror, the anger just now was gone, and the cold sweat flowed down instantly.

He was silent for a long time, and several times he wanted to speak and stopped, as if there was something he didn't dare to say.

I reached out and picked up the little boy who was hiding under the table, who was no longer shivering as he had just been, but he was at my mercy, staring at him a little dazed. I took him in my arms and whispered that I was not afraid, but he didn't respond.

Kongtongzi said: "He was scared out of his soul." ”

Old Lady: "Ah! The Miao man also reacted, immediately opened all the doors and windows, and held the boy in his arms, the Miao woman stepped on the bamboo chair, knocked on the beam with the back of a kitchen knife, and shouted loudly at the door, as if shouting "Jinbao", it seems that the little boy's name is "Jinbao".

After a while, the boy gradually came back to his senses, this is also amazing, there is really such a way to cure the soul in the world, this is called "shouting soul", the old lady quickly brought a bowl of water, poured it into the boy, saw that the boy was fine, the family cried.

I said to them, "You don't have to say anything about it, but you have to think about your youngest son, so that he doesn't repeat the mistakes of his brother in the future." ”

The Miao man trembled when he heard this, this sentence touched his heart, and now he should be most worried about his youngest son, and said to me in a trembling voice: "Okay, okay, I say, but I can only say it to you alone." ”

I nodded and followed him into the inner room.

He hesitated again and again, and said intermittently: "It happened thirty years ago, when I was only a teenager, the village is much older than now, Ah Duo is the witch doctor in the village, that is, the Gu girl who raises Gu, in fact, there are more Gu in the seedling land, and Gu is the medicine here, which is mostly used to cure diseases and save people." It is no different from Langzhong in the Han land, the status of the witch doctor in the Miao village is not high, but this Ah Duo girl was born slender and beautiful, famous for hundreds of miles, at that time, many people rushed for several days, just to see Ah Duo's face, and the young men who came to the village outside were endless.

However, Ah Duo has always been unmoved, she is kind-hearted, all she thinks about is how to raise Gu to save people, in addition to treating the people in the village on weekdays, she also regularly goes to the back mountain for medical treatment, the back mountain is in a remote and desperate situation, there are three villages in the middle and upper, the people there are very weird, I heard that there are few contacts between the villages, and no one will come out of the mountain to visit us here as a guest.

We have always been well water and not river water, but people are going to get sick, and there is no witch doctor in their village, so they have to let Ah Duo treat them, but even so, no matter what kind of emergency illness the people in the three villages of Houshan have, they will never take the initiative to come out to see Ah Duo for a consultation, just waiting for Ah Duo to come to the door regularly.

But that day, I was chopping wood on the mountain, and met a white young man, he panted and said that he was from the village in the back mountain, and his brother was infected with a sudden illness, and came to find Miss Aduo to save his life, this kind of thing is also very normal, and I was young and simple-minded, and I didn't think much about it, so I led him to find Ah Duo, in fact, everything was fine.

But Ah Duo didn't come back after he left, we waited for half a month and waited for a message from the white young man, saying that Ah Duo had married into their Zhongzhai, and the three villages in the back mountain had family rules, and they couldn't go out of the village, since they had to abide by the rules when they married into the village, they couldn't come out again.

How can anyone believe this kind of nonsense, Ah Duo's father and mother have never heard of such a son-in-law, there is no matchmaker and no kiss, so they want to leave their beautiful daughter? We guessed that there must have been some accident that made them unable to explain, so they made up this kind of lie to perfunctory us, or was overrun by some shameless person.

How can we swallow this bad breath, so the patriarch took all the young people in the village to the back mountain to ask for explanations, that is also the first time I entered the back mountain, in the dense forest for two days to find the next village, it is a small village with only dozens of households, the people in the village said that they did see Ah Duo went to the village, but did not see her come out, and someone gave us a courteous guide and took us to the village.

Zhongzhai is much bigger, we asked them for people, but the other party said that Ah Duo did worship with a young man in this village, but then he didn't know where to go, since he had to abide by the clan rules and couldn't go out of the village, how could he not know where to go, and it was clearly contradictory to the previous statement.

Later, I don't know what the other party said to our patriarch, the patriarch was angry, ordered to launch a fierce attack on them, and the two sides began to fight, we wantonly burned and killed, the strength of the other party was not weak, but after all, we had to take care of their own old people and wives and children, and could not unify to set up a formation against the enemy, so naturally it was not our strong opponents, I also personally cut off the head of a teenager and killed a pregnant woman, and also snatched her silver jewelry, think about it at that time It was really inhumane and lost reason.

We returned victorious, and every family tasted the sweetness, so we asked the patriarch to lead us to Zhongzhai again, in fact, the second time we went to Zhongzhai, called the dignitaries, in fact, it was to rob things, we burned and killed, more ferocious than the previous time, and more inhumane.

But people are greedy, it didn't take long, we went again like a demon, but when I went to Zhongzhai for the third time, I saw a scene that I can't forget in my life, the boy who was cut off by me actually stood in front of me alive, his pregnant woman was also there, all alive, and all of them were very capable of fighting, the strength was endless, I was so scared that I fled back, that time our losses were very heavy, the patriarch only brought back eight or nine people, not only empty-handed, one by one also in a trance, until today, I didn't even mention it again, and even my mother and my wife and children didn't know what had happened.

As for Ah Duo's father, he finally found his daughter's body, I heard that Ah Duo was indeed alive at the time, and he committed suicide in front of him, Ah Duo Dad was hit too hard, and he went crazy at that time, I saw him come back with Ah Duo's body, as if he was dozens of years old all of a sudden, and his mouth kept saying: Still alive! Still alive! Later, Ah Duo Niang also died of excessive sadness.

Not long after, the patriarch, the strongest man in our clan, also died, and died with his head in his hands. And so the nightmare began, and since then, for thirty years, every hill climb festival has been the death of people in this way, and over the years, everyone has become suspicious and frightened, whether we have fled to a distant land, or stayed at home, even if the doors and windows are closed and the lights are not on, and the family sits together, but the painful and tragic death has come as expected, without exception, and it is the strongest young man in the village who has died.

Can you imagine? Every year today, there is a young man who loses his head under the noses of his family.

There is no sign, and there is no murderer, it must be Ah Duo and those unjust souls who died in vain to ask for their lives, this is to let us also feel the pain of losing a child, retribution! Retribution! The village invited many Taoist priests to come and detain the soul, but it was useless, this ghost-faced Taoist master and apprentice is said to have high mana, but it's a pity! Woo, my hard-working son is still dead in vain, what retribution is good for me, why harm innocent children. ”
