Chapter 65: The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village (Part I) (Replace the Lost)
"That was from the last generation of us."
Lou Lao's thoughts are flying,
"I was only nine years old that year, my ancestor was a landlord, Aunt Wang's real name was Wang Lihua, she was only sixteen years old at that time, but she was already the most famous beauty in the village, my father was still a second ancestor who relied on my grandfather's family business to be a powerful and prosperous second ancestor, he coveted Wang Lihua for a long time, and forcibly defiled her when she was alone in the field.
Wang Lihua's father was an honest farmer, and after knowing about this, he went to my compound with a hoe and smashed the door, but was beaten half to death by my family's family, and almost died on the spot.
You know, that era was not like now, the landlords and village tyrants all covered the sky with one hand, and the peasants had no human rights at all, the landlords oppressed the people, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu couldn't control it. Due to the huge power of my family, Wang Lihua's family had no way to avenge their grievances, and in the end they could only admit to blood planting, dirty people, and cost a human life.
Wang Lihua's father was seriously injured and died, and he was full of resentment, and he died within a few days of going back to lie down, and he didn't close his eyes until he died.
Later, Wang Lihua was pregnant, and after my father found out, he snatched her into the house without saying a word and ignored my mother's objections to be his aunt.
Because my father gave the royal father a glorious funeral, and still took the life of the queen mother as a threat, and the belly grew bigger day by day, the sixteen-year-old Wang Lihua could only accept her fate and obediently stayed in our house.
At that time, I remember, Aunt Wang always cried at the moon alone at night, she had a miserable life, although she did not worry about food and clothing after coming to my house, but she was repeatedly targeted by my mother, the more she was favored, the more my mother hated her, those subordinates looked at my mother's eyes, and often bullied her, and her life was very unsatisfactory.
Later, he gave birth to a son, and his status in the family was even higher, and my mother was more and more afraid that she would threaten the status of our mother, so she had a poisonous plan in her heart-
Taking advantage of the days when my father was out, she spent a lot of money to find someone to defile Wang Lihua, and also threw her son who had just been a full moon into a dry well and fell to death.
Unexpectedly, my mother was still angry, so she found someone to whip her body, and threw her outside in the wilderness. When my father returned, he was furious, but there was nothing he could do, and my mother would not even tell him where she had left her body.
I thought that after this tragedy was over, my family would be able to return to their previous life, but no one thought that this was just the beginning of the tragedy.
I clearly remember that on the third day after Wang Lihua's death, my mother fell into a dry well and died, without even a piece of good meat on her body.
On the same day, my father also had a high fever for some reason, fell unconscious, sweated profusely on his face, and went to the barefoot doctor, but the doctor could not see anything.
My grandfather saw that something was wrong, so he specially sent someone to go to Qiubaku, a hundred miles away, and found a very famous local Taoist chief, known as: Uncle Nine. As soon as Uncle Nine arrived with his two disciples, he immediately knew what was going on.
He said that the problem was Wang Lihua, and immediately asked my grandfather to send people all over the mountains to find Wang Lihua's body, saying that it must be found at all costs. Fortunately, I finally found it, and when the body was brought back, I saw it, and I was so frightened by the appearance of the body that I had nightmares for several nights.
The corpse had not yet decomposed, it was about the same as when it had just died, and the corpse was covered with whiplash wounds, and the skin was open. And her eyes were open, she rolled her eyes, her hands were straight to the sky, and her face was actually smiling.
Uncle Nine said that everything must be opposed, which is the extreme manifestation of the resentment of the deceased, and it is for: anger and laughter.
Stretching out your hands to the sky means vowing to avenge your grievances, and simply put, it is a sign that the evil spirit wants to take revenge.
Uncle Nine set up a spiritual altar for her, and then arranged a very grand scene and opened the altar to do things.
He placed Wang Lihua's body in the center of the altar, closed her eyelids, and cast a spell on the side himself, trying to calm her anger and let her hands fall.
His approach really worked, and we saw the stiff corpse's hands slowly falling down several times, but after a while, the work suddenly straightened up again, and the closed eyes suddenly reopened, and in broad daylight, the people around him were scared to the chest.
I remember that Uncle Nine said at the time that the evil had been accomplished, and the resentment of this female ghost could not be calmed down, and my grandfather was very anxious, and hurriedly asked him what he could do.
Uncle Nine said that there is a way to stop Wang Lihua from continuing to kill, but most of my father Lou Fengquan's life cannot be saved, and it may not only be my father's life, maybe most of our family will have to die to do it.
According to Uncle Jiu, if one more person who is regarded as the object of revenge by Wang Lihua dies, her grievances will be evened out, according to her current grievances, if she doesn't get rid of half of them, with his current ways, she can't be suppressed no matter what.
My grandfather begged him several times, but he just shook his head, saying that there was nothing he could do.
Uncle Nine left, saying that he would come back in four days.
Four days after the whole family was shrouded in darkness, it was Wang Lihua's first seventh, I don't think my grandfather would have thought that most of the people who died when Uncle Nine said were almost the whole family died!
Not only my family, but also several families in the village had people die suddenly and tragically, and I vividly remember that the whole village was crying that night, including my own.
My grandfather, and the whole family of sixty-seven family members, all died violently overnight, and only me and two other male and one female family members survived.
The next day Uncle Nine came, he saw the tragic situation of the corpses in the village, just sighed long, and then instructed his two apprentices to put Wang Lihua's body in a big red coffin, nail it in the coffin with a special arrangement of seven-star nails, and then bury her in the place where the yang energy is the most abundant on the North Mountain, and then finally suppressed her resentful spirit, and then our village has been very peaceful, and nothing terrible has happened.
I was raised by the only surviving female family member in our family, and as the son of a landlord, I lived in the scolding of others every day at that time. It wasn't until later that I encountered the war, and at the age of 14, I lied about my age to join the army and left this sad place. It wasn't until I was liberated more than ten years later that I changed my name to Lou Jianguo, changed my face and returned to the field, returned to my hometown, and started a free clinic in order to atone for the sins of my previous generation. ”
"I see."
Fang Yi suddenly said, why did someone call Jianguo a hundred years ago.
It was also built in the Republic of China.
But what the old man said is really a sad story.
