Chapter Ninety-Seven: Two Strange Things
At this point in the story, Huang Wu's past is clearly explained. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info then the next thing Huang Wu explained is related to this incident.
Huang Wu leaned against the wall, clasped his hands on his knees, and struggled for a while, "I don't know what happened next, which ones are true and which ones are fabricated. I used to be a staunch Marxist atheist, so I couldn't explain it, but now I ...... Alas......"
"You say, maybe chopsticks can explain it, he was born in that circle, and his family has been doing this for generations." Fang Jinyuan raised Ye Kui high in order to give Huang Wu a little confidence.
Huang Wu looked at Ye Kui's pair of heterochromatic pupils, and finally told him what he knew: "This has something to do with the legend of our village, although I don't believe in cow ghosts and snake gods, but I heard some stories from the old man when I was a child." ”
As soon as he heard the legend, Ye Kui's eyes suddenly lit up. Legends are what he likes to listen to the most, usually the legends of a place are mostly based on facts, and these legends with supernatural colors are usually the key clues to solve the supernatural events in this place.
Huang Wu told Ye Kui that it is said that the villagers of Baiyangao fled into this mountain col more than a thousand years ago to escape the war. The villagers who started out were all those who fled the famine and met along the way, joined in, and were constantly eliminated by the natural environment, and finally arrived alive in this isolated place.
At that time, after they settled down in the mountain col, there was no food for a while, and the grass roots were all cut down, and they were waiting to starve to death, when suddenly a fairy came from outside. The fairy rode an aar, followed by a flock of white sheep. The gods took pity on their poor people and gave them the white sheep behind them to eat, which saved the lives of these refugees.
With a wave of his hand, the fairy also changed the terrain in the Aries Pass, and arranged to build the ancestral hall of the village, and then turned the white sheep under his seat into the ancestral hall, so that it could become the guardian saint of the village and keep the descendants safe.
"This legend is engraved on the stone tablets of the ancestral hall of the village, including the statue of the white sheep, and you can see it when you go inside. But what happened next, I can only state the facts. I can't explain exactly how it happened. Huang Wu said, to continue his story.
"Wait a minute." Ye Kui interrupted Huang Wu, "The story you just told didn't mention the fog outside, and the people who came here to escape the famine were easy to come in, and they didn't encounter this layer of fog?" ”
Huang Wu shook his head and said, "The matter of the mist is not in the legend. ”
Hearing Huang Wu say that he didn't know again, Ye Kui waved his hand and asked him to continue.
The strange thing happened at Huang Dabing's funeral. Because the parents of the Huang Wu brothers were unlucky when they went to work in the city in their early years, they had a feud with the gangsters in the city, and they were both killed.
That night, Huang Wu spent the night alone in the ancestral hall, and when he was drowsy in the dead of night, he saw a puff of black smoke floating out of his eldest brother's coffin, the shape of the black smoke was very strange, as thick as an arm, and it slid down the coffin like a snake and coiled in a circle on the ground.
Huang Wu thought he was dreaming at the time, and he didn't react much. But just as he was about to change his comfortable position, the snake like black smoke suddenly swam towards him! Huang Wu was suddenly a spirit, whether in a dream or in reality, how could a snake swim towards him be panicked.
What made Huang Wu even more frightened was that when he thought he had come to his senses and everything was gone, he found that when he woke up, he still saw the black smoke-like snake swimming towards him! Less than two meters away from him, he could even see two points of red light emitting a chill on the illusory tongue of the triangle. The black smoke snake stopped a meter away from him, but slowly raised its head, and its neck began to bow up, as if it was about to catapult out in the next second, gnawing on his neck! The intense fear made Huang Wu almost faint.
And at this moment, Huang Wu suddenly heard a sheep's cry, followed by the sound of hooves touching the bluestone slab ground, a burst of white light flashed, and the snake-like black smoke had already flown into the air and quickly dissipated.
Before falling into a coma, Huang Wu vaguely saw that under the moonlight, a huge white goat that had always been snow-white was standing at the door of the ancestral hall with its head held high, and its horns were facing the place where the black snake flew out just now. Then Huang Wu fainted.
Waiting for the next morning, someone in the village got up to wake Huang Wu up, he looked around, there were no black snakes and white sheep, then he was sure that he must be dreaming, settled down, and found that the incense in the incense burner was about to burn out, so he was ready to add it.
Speaking of this, Huang Wu suddenly shivered, and glanced at Ye Kui and Fang Jinyuan, who were listening carefully, in disbelief.
"What's wrong?" Fang Jinyuan was fascinated by what he heard, and when he saw Huang Wu suddenly stop revealing this appearance, his heartbeat seemed to have missed a beat.
Ye Kui was light-hearted, because he had already guessed what Huang Wu had probably seen.
"I ...... I saw a sheep's hoof print on the incense ash. Huang Wu said tremblingly.
After hearing this, Fang Jinyuan's eyes widened suddenly, "Really? Are there really sheep? ”
Huang Wu shook his head, he didn't know if it was true.
Ye Kui motioned for Huang Wu to continue speaking without commenting.
Huang Wu took several deep breaths to calm down his emotions before continuing.
After the story of the black snake and white sheep, Huang Wu did not encounter any strange things, Huang Dabing was buried smoothly, and then he was safe for several months. Huang Wu also recovered from the fright of that day and slowly returned to his normal life.
However, just after forgetting the shadow of the fragrant gray sheep's hoof print, Huang Wu soon encountered a second strange incident.
Li Xiaomei was about to give birth at about ten o'clock in the evening, and after Li Xiaomei was sent to the delivery room, he was left alone in the corridor outside the delivery room of the hospital in the middle of the night. At that time, he was sitting outside the delivery room, excited and anxious, like a normal father-to-be.
But just as he was about to sit down on the chair outside the delivery room, he suddenly found that the electric lights in the entire corridor seemed to have an unstable voltage, and began to flicker and flicker, coupled with the excessively quiet hospital in the middle of the night, his excitement was like a basin of cold water, and he suddenly remembered the black snake and white sheep he saw in the ancestral hall that day.
But the more he feared something, the more it came.
Under the flickering light, Huang Wu suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something black in the shadow under the plastic chair.
With his previous experience, Huang Wu stepped back almost reflexively, knowing that his back was hitting the wall on the other half of the hallway. It's just that his backward movement was too fast, and this time he hit the wall, which made his mind dazed, and at this moment, the black thing swished, and jumped out from the shadow of the plastic chair, and went directly through the crack in the door of the delivery room!
Seeing that the black east entered the delivery room, Huang Wu suddenly thought of Li Xiaomei and his unborn child, and the fear in his heart was immediately expelled by his love for Li Xiaomei and the child, and he also slammed the door and rushed into the delivery room.
As soon as the door of the delivery room opened, the noise inside immediately dispelled the strange silence just now, and the doctors and nurses were startled by Huang Wu who rushed in and immediately blasted him out. However, when Huang Wu was kicked out, he saw that Li Xiaomei had nothing to do, and he didn't see the black unknown thing.
Next, contrary to Huang Wu's expectations, Li Xiaomei gave birth to Topaz smoothly. It seems that nothing has happened before, and it is all Huang Wu's illusion.
Huang Wu was also relieved about this, it seemed that Huang Dabing's death was a bit exciting for him, so he also had something wrong with his spirit.
After that, nothing special happened, and it wasn't until Li Xiaomei was discharged from the hospital and went home that Huang Wu felt that something was wrong again.
When Huang Wu changed his daughter's diaper for the first time, he saw a blue-black birthmark on her inner thigh near her private parts. The birthmark is banded, about five or six centimeters long, and one end is relatively large, and at first glance it looks like a tadpole with a long tail.
When Huang Wu took a good look at the birthmark, he couldn't help but shudder. Where is this long-tailed tadpole, it is clearly a snake with a human face!
The expression on that person's face actually had a sinister and strange smile, as if he was staring at Huang Wu to see him laugh. And the more he looked at that person's face, the more familiar it became, and a name suddenly popped out of Huang Wu's mind - Huang Dabing!
Huang Wu was directly frightened by his imagination and shouted! alarmed Li Xiaomei.
Under Li Xiaomei's concerned inquiries and the mood that still hadn't calmed down, Huang Wu told him about the two strange things he had encountered before. waited for him to react after he finished speaking, and telling Li Xiaomei these ethereal things would not make her feel at ease, but would scare her.
However, when Huang Wu was about to comfort Li Xiaomei, he found that Li Xiaomei actually showed a thoughtful expression. After carefully examining Topaz's birthmark, he suddenly offered to return Topaz to Aries Pass for raising.
Huang Wu was reluctant at first, after all, Huang Yu would definitely live better in the city than in that remote mountain village. But Li Xiaomei was surprisingly persistent, and the next day she carried Huang Wu back to Baiyang Pass on her back.
But Huang Wu didn't expect that this was the last time he and Li Xiaomei met. Li Xiaomei never came out after entering Baiyang Pass, and when he chased after him, all he got was Li Xiaomei's death.
"And then? Did anything happen at Li Xiaomei's funeral? Fang Jinyuan saw Huang Wu stop and couldn't help but ask.
"......No," Huang Wu said with some hesitation, "because she was forced by my eldest brother to sell her body before, and the family thought that she was inappropriate and did not allow her to be buried with my eldest brother, so the body was transported back to her mother's house in Jiangcheng for burial, and I had no name with her, and I also attended the funeral as her brother-in-law, and nothing happened." ”
"You...... Are you mistaken? Fang Jinyuan suddenly stood up suddenly, pointed at Huang Wu and said angrily.
Huang Wu was stunned by Fang Jinyuan's scolding, and he didn't know why.
Fang Jinyuan saw that he didn't understand, and he was even more angry, "You wretched!" People have given birth to a child for you, and you don't even give you a name! You're still not a man! ”
When Huang Wu heard Fang Jinyuan's words, he also lowered his head in shame. His introverted personality is really hopeless.
