Chapter 124: The Dirt Pit in the House

The second uncle's daughter-in-law took her youngest son, Yuwazi, and sent me and the Venerable Master Hongyu to the gate of the dog's house, but she said that she would not go in at all, so I guessed that there was no such normality in the dog's house.

Although she refused to go in, the child in her arms pointed to the door of the dog's house and said that she would go in and have a look.

Seeing this, I told my second uncle's daughter-in-law for the purpose of helping others that I could take him in to have a look, and then send him out later.

The daughter-in-law of the second uncle disagreed, she thought that the place where there was a dead person was not clean, and she was afraid that it would not be good for the child.

Of course I understand that, but this little boy feels so strange that I really want to see what happens to him when he enters the house.

When I was entangled with the mother and son here, the Venerable Master Hongyu had already walked outside the door, and the dog's house was full of people at this time, and most of the villagers knew us, and when they saw the Venerable Master Hongyu coming, they all greeted him warmly.

Seeing this, I couldn't stay here longer, so I had to leave their mother and son behind and walk to the gate of the dog's house alone.

"Wang Yu said that he wants to play with me." The little boy looked at his mother with an aggrieved look on his face, and pouted at her.

I stopped all of a sudden, turned my head and asked the little boy if that Wang Yu was in the house now, which was very important.

When I saw the old man who claimed to be Wang Yu in Sandong Town, I was sure that he had something to do with this leftover baby, if the leftover baby thought that Wang Yu was here, then this place was likely to be the place where the old man said that the gangsters in the mountains stayed.

The little boy nodded, and said to me with a serious face, "He was originally at my house, but his grandfather had to bring him here, and I was going to look for him." ”

The second uncle's daughter-in-law changed her face when she heard this, and shouted at him: "Don't talk nonsense, there is no one named Wang Yu in our village." ”

Wang Yu is at their house, that's too coincidental, if so, then the second uncle's house is likely to be where the bandits lived.

If this is the case, it is very possible that Wang Yu when he was young asked the leftover baby to bring out a note asking for help.

I squeezed out a loving smile and walked back, gently took the boy's little hand, and asked him if Wang Yu often played with Wang Yu, and I got the little boy's affirmative answer, plus his mother's harsher reprimand.

When I asked him what he was playing, the little boy told me that they played a lot and that Wang Yu taught him how to write.

This time, before I could finish asking, the second uncle's daughter-in-law had already shouted at the little boy not to talk nonsense, and walked back.

I know that this matter must have bothered her for a long time, otherwise she would not be in such a hurry to carry the child home, it seems that there are still many unknown secrets in this Wangjia Village.

The dog's body is really still there, and it is still parked on a door panel very normally, and there is no sign of turning into a white-haired zombie at all.

The Venerable Master Hongyu walked over and lifted the yellow paper covering the dog's face and looked at it, and I stood beside him, and I followed him, and in the corner of my eyes, I saw that the Venerable Master Hongyu was looking at me with his eyes.

I knew his current condition, he must not have seen the ghost, so he asked me for help, I nodded to him slightly, indicating that there was nothing unusual about him.

When she came out and sat down, she saw the daughter-in-law of the dog baby crying to death in the inner room, and many women in the village were there to comfort her.

I looked at Master Hongyu, and he nodded to me, so I walked over and asked a woman if the name of the daughter-in-law of the dog baby was Ren Zi, and the person paused for a moment, turned around and asked a woman who was supporting her beside the daughter-in-law of the dog baby.

This was also heard by the dog's daughter-in-law, who raised her crying and swollen face to look at me, and the woman next to her also looked at me strangely.

After a while, the woman who was holding her asked, "Not many people know my sister's name, how do you know?" ”

It seems that she is really right, she must be called Ren Zi, and the bracelet that the dog baby bought in Sanke Town must be given to her.

I beckoned to the woman and asked her to come out with me, and the woman handed over the dog baby and daughter-in-law to someone else and followed me out.

After checking it again in front of the Venerable Master Hongyu, it was clear that the woman was confused and didn't know what we were trying to do.

At this time, a half-sized black dog that was asked to be hugged by Hongyu was sent in, and the person who sent it put it down and ran out.

The woman saw the black dog and barked in surprise: "There are people who have just died, and these cats and dogs are not allowed to come in, why don't you even know this?" ”

I've heard of this too, but I don't know what happened to the Venerable Master, how he made such a mistake.

But he didn't want to, so the Venerable Master didn't pay any attention to her, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and let the black dog smell it, and then scattered it.

Everyone was stunned by the Master Hongyu, what if this was a corpse or something, there were those who were cowardly, and they had quietly slipped away at this time.

The black dog circled twice in the middle of the house, and suddenly ran towards the parked corpse, and this time the people in the house were even more anxious, and shouted for the dog to stop, but the dog did not listen to these people, and the house was in an uproar.

The black dog ran up to the corpse, sniffed around, and got under the door, which was supported by several square stools.

The dog was digging hard underneath, and the people were even more anxious, for fear that it would knock down the door panel and that it would not be a good thing that the corpse on it would be thrown down.

Someone suggested that the body be reparked in a new place, and they knew that someone was supporting the Venerable Master Hongyu, so they could only take a step back like this.

The Venerable Master coughed lightly twice and pointed to the east wall of the house, telling the deceased to stop his head and feet there.

But all the people were quiet, and no one moved the body, and now the deceased was with his head on the south and the back of his feet, that is, his head was facing the door, and his feet were facing the window, and it was said that the ghost of a person walked through the window after death, but now, if the head is east and the feet are west, and there are walls on both sides, where does the soul of the dead come from?

The Venerable Master insisted that everyone do this, and said that the way the dog died was different from others, and the way to dispose of the body after death was also different.

In the end, the second uncle came and asked everyone to do what the Master Hongyu said, and these people went to move the body over.

When the corpse was removed, the place where the black dog was creating was revealed, and the black dog refused to stop for a moment, even when people moved the door panel, it was not scared out.

The dog's house is a rural land, and there are no bricks, and now the black dog has created a big pit, and the Master Hongyu saw that the dog had created a pit here, so he asked people to take something to create it.

In other people's homes, this is still a thing that has never been done, although everyone hesitated, but under the power of the second uncle, they still did it.

After a while, the pit was created to be one person deeper, and the Venerable Master Hongyu made everyone stop.

He asked the second uncle to pick out eight strong boys from among the villagers, fifteen to twenty years old, after the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, before the fifteenth day of the eighth month, and after the tenth day of the first month, and before the twentieth day of the lunar calendar.

The second uncle shouted a few times outside, and he really came in, and eight sturdy boys stood in front of the Venerable Master Hongyu.

One of the eight of them was twenty years old, two were eighteen, one was seventeen, and the other four were all fifteen years old, and their birthdays were all in the seventh lunar month, which made the Venerable Master's brow furrow furrow.

Master Hongyu chose four fifteen-year-olds to stand in the four corners of the room, and the other four to stand on top of the deceased's head and feet.

Then he took out the ink fountain and the mahogany nail from his bag and surrounded the pit, and then he lit a circle of twelve white candles on the edge of the pit, and lit three pillars of incense.

At this time, the daughter-in-law of the dog baby was no longer crying, the family had been created like this, where did she still have the heart to cry, and she also stood aside and watched the Venerable Master Hongyu do things there, but the anger in her eyes made me feel afraid.

It's eleven o'clock in the afternoon, as the old saying goes, it's noon, and it's also the time of the day when the sun is at its highest, so I can't imagine that it would be wise for the Venerable Master to light so many candles at this time.

Just when the three pillars of incense were burned out, the earth shook a little, and the people in the house were startled at first, and then many people who watched the excitement withdrew, and the room fell silent all at once.

A gust of wind seeped up from the pit, and some of the weaker ones couldn't help but quietly retreat.

The Venerable Master Hongyu looked at the people standing in the room, and those who were watching the excitement looked at each other, and quietly withdrew.

The second uncle beckoned to the Venerable Master Hongyu and retreated out the door, and there were now only ten of us alive and one dead body left in the room.

The daughter-in-law of the dog baby had already been helped out of the door, although she was worried about the house, but after all, fear overcame her, and she still followed everyone out.

The Venerable Master Hongyu looked at the incense that had burned to the roots, took out the brass bell and handed it to me, and he took a yellow futon, and sat alone in front of the pit and chanted a word, but I didn't hear a word clearly.

Just as the incense had burned out and the red fire was extinguished, the earth in the pit sank downward.

With the sound of the earth falling, a biting chill poured out of the ground, and the eight strong men and I all looked into the pit, only to see that after the dirt in the pit sank, a stream of black water as black as ink floated up.

The water was constantly rising with a chill, making everyone in the room shiver.

The white candle flickered in the cold air, and the yellow flame gradually turned into a faint blue-green, flickering there like a ghost fire that flew from time to time in a graveyard in the middle of the night.

Seeing such a fire in broad daylight, who could not be afraid, the eight boys in the room were so frightened that they were about to cry, but they still insisted on standing there without moving.

I can't help but wonder that if they don't run, they should be scared to sit on the ground, but when I see the hoarfrost that is gradually rising on their bodies, I understand why they don't run, they don't even have the strength to pull their feet up now, where can they run.
