Chapter 1: Yin Yang Village

Next Chapter

The world is so big that there are no surprises.

Has there ever been a strange thing happening around you that makes you unbelievable and jaw-dropping?

You say there is? I laughed and didn't say anything.

Because I'm sure that the story I'm going to tell next, and the people I'm going to tell, are thousands of times weirder than anything you've ever experienced, or even heard of, and will definitely subvert your understanding of the world and make you doubt everything that exists around you!

There is such a strange mountain, called Knee Mountain, which looks like a giant squatting there, and the two small mountain bags halfway up the mountain are like giants' knees.

There is a village at the foot of the mountain, the name is quite strange, called Yin Yang Village, there is such a peculiar old man in the village, surnamed Liu, called Liu Feihu, known as Liu Banhang.

Speaking of this willow half-hanging, the reputation is not very good, when he was young, he was a famous scoundrel in the village, when he saw the girl, he dragged it into his arms, and when he saw the lame, he raised his foot and kicked it, beat people in the face, and scolded people to expose the short, almost to the point where everyone gritted their teeth.

It may be that there is retribution for doing too many bad things, Liu Banhang's family has had major events one after another, his wife, son and daughter-in-law have died one after another within a few years, and now at the age of fifty or sixty, only one granddaughter is left to depend on him.

Liu Banhang learned from the pain, in order to keep his only granddaughter, he restrained a lot, decided not to do bad things, and greeted people with laughter, but this country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, and the skinny "temperament" in his bones can't be removed no matter what, and it always makes people feel that there is a knife hidden in his smile.

The people in the village talked and laughed with Liu Banhang on the surface, but they all said in private that he was hard-hitting, and sooner or later he had to give his granddaughter to Lord Yan, as the saying goes, rumors are poisonous, and the mouth can kill, and it didn't take long for the Liu family to have an accident again, but this time it was Liu Banhang who had an accident.

This matter has to start with the unique craftsmanship of Liu Banhang.

Liu Banhang has two crafts, one of which is to catch rabbits, Yin and Yang Village is located at the foot of the mountain, the so-called backing the mountain to eat the mountain, the game on the knee mountain is really a lot, and it is a good time to catch hares in winter.

There is an idiom called the three holes of the cunning rabbit, and even their hiding places have to make three, which shows the cleverness of the rabbit, and it is naturally not so easy to eat the delicacy of this hare.

Most of the villagers will go up the hill in advance to find the traces left by the hares' running and jumping, and then make a freely retractable ring with iron wire, firmly fixed to the ground where the hare has moved traces, or simply hide in the snow.

If you are lucky, the hare will just put its legs and feet into the ring when it passes, and then jump forward, it will suddenly drive the ring to tighten, the more it struggles, the more firmly the ring is closed, and after two or three days, the villagers can go up the mountain again to harvest the delicious.

This method relies heavily on the experience of the villagers, and the luck component also accounts for three or four percent, so not every time you go up the mountain, you will get a harvest, and some villagers can't even get a hair in winter.

But this willow half-hanging is different, he goes up the mountain every day without running empty, he can bring a rabbit back, and his family can eat meat every day throughout the winter, and it is fragrant every day.

The villagers are greedy and want to learn the craft with Liu Banhang, but Liu Banhang refuses, saying that this is an ancestral secret method, not passed on, after a long time, the villagers are even more disgusted with Liu Banhang, and the disgust is full of jealousy.

No, there is an unconscious young man who is very skinny, and he decided to secretly follow Liu Banhang up the mountain to see what skills he has, if you don't teach me, can't I learn secretly? But he never thought that he couldn't "steal the teacher", and almost lost his little life!

On that day, Liu Banhang, as usual, was wearing a bloated cotton coat, wearing a broken knitted hat that had been opened, with a cigarette in his mouth, walking deep and shallow in the snow, muttering in his mouth, sometimes humming two colored songs, his hands were empty, not at all like he was going to catch rabbits, but like a tourist sightseeing.

This walk was two hours, and at noon, Liu Banhang finally stopped, and the young man hiding behind a big tree was finally free, and looked out while wiping his sweat, but the hot sweat had not been wiped off, and the cold sweat immediately rose again, and he found that he was taken to the entrance of the ghost cave by Liu Banhang!

The ghost cave is actually a cave on the knee mountain, but this cave is very weird, and there are a lot of terrifying rumors about it, all of which say that it is haunted, so it is named the ghost cave.

A few years ago, several bold and unbelieving villagers went into the cave to investigate, but they never came out alive, as if the world had evaporated!

Over time, everyone turned away from talking about this cave.

The young man's face instantly became not very good-looking, and he wanted to escape from this ghost place quickly, but he was afraid that he would make a noise and be discovered by Liu Banhang, and the situation became a dilemma, so he had no choice but to stay where he was, hoping that Liu Banhang would leave quickly.

But Liu Banhang had no intention of leaving, first staring at the ghost cave with an expressionless face, and after a while, he shook his head meaningfully and sat down in the snow.

The young man was puzzled, although he was scared, but he was also full of curiosity, and said that he wanted to catch rabbits. Why are you still sitting down? Could it be that this willow is hanging here and waiting for the rabbit?

Immediately afterwards, I saw Liu Banhang pick up two dead and fallen branches, and began to beat each other, strange to say, those two branches seemed to have become musical instruments in Liu Banhang's hands, and they were knocked out of the tune, the tune was subdued, sometimes high and sometimes low, very ethereal!

The young man frowned puzzled, and he didn't know which one of Liu Banhang was coming.

And the next moment, Liu Banhang tilted his head, his expression brightened, his voice was sharp, he babbled, and he actually sang, singing opera, a strange opera, completely different from the local singing, and what was even more strange was that Liu Banhang made a woman's voice!

The sound of opera babbling, mixed with the clanging sound of beating branches echoing in the mountains, combined with Liu Banhang's expression of squeezing eyebrows and eyes, gives people a very strange feeling.

The young man thought this scene was very funny at first, but after listening to it for a long time, he felt hairy and panicked, coupled with the cold wind blowing directly in the mountains, goosebumps quickly crawled over him, and the nameless fear was also slowly coming, he trembled all over, and hurriedly wrapped the cotton clothes on his body tightly.

Looking at the willow half-hanging over there, the noon sun just illuminated half of his face, and the other half of his face was covered by the shadow of the big tree, one yin and one yang, very weird!

Singing to the emotional place, Liu Banhang's eyes inadvertently glanced in the direction where the young man was hiding, the young man suddenly froze, Liu Banhang's eyes were as clear as the moon, and feminine and evil, like two points of clear spring, about to spew water, how could such a pair of eyes belong to a fifty or sixty-year-old bad old man?!

The young man was messy in an instant, and he felt that Liu Banhang, who was singing, seemed to have changed as if he had changed into a person, becoming a man not a man, a woman not a woman, a man not a person, and a ghost or a ghost......
