(Thanks to the Fox Wilderness Fire Daoist for providing the case)

It was on the 4th day of the lunar month in 2005, and I was very impressed.

At that time, the master was in Wanzhou, and after everything was done, he planned to meet an old friend, because it was not too far from his friend's house, so he wanted to visit.

In the cold winter, although I was a hairy boy at that time, and they all said that young men were not afraid of cold, I still felt that the cold was fatal, and I saw that the master was not wearing a lot, and I was embarrassed to shout cold to the master, so I only cared about myself shivering.

After a bumpy ride, when I got out of the car, I was pale and vomited on the side of the road, and the master was next to me to see that I vomited clean, and sighed twice, regretting that I didn't bring more clothes out for this baby.

Master's friend's house was still a little road away from here, and at that time there was no road in that area, so I followed Master on a potholed dirt road for nearly two hours to reach the destination, which was a toss for me.

Master's friend is actually not a colleague, but he only happened to meet during an errand, and then Master would visit his house every year, but in recent years, he has not been available, so he has been going there a lot less. Master always nagged me: "I want to make money for the coffin, otherwise I will be a feng shui gentleman for a lifetime, and I will only use a mat to roll it when I die, which is not too sad." Let's make a lot of money! ”

When I arrived at the friend's house, I looked around, it was a very ordinary yard, behind the yard was a dirt road, behind the dirt road was a pond, behind it was a mountain with peaks, verdant and verdant, at this time a little earth dog came running, barking at us, a rustic atmosphere.

Master took me into the yard, where there was a woman feeding the chickens, and he had a lot of chickens, and when she heard the sound of the woman smacking her lips to feed the chickens, the chickens all over the yard quickly gathered to peck and eat.

At this time, the woman was feeding Huan, looked up and saw the master walking in, quickly stopped what she was doing, turned around and shouted to the back room: "Old Wang, Master Fox is here!" Come out of here! After shouting, he smiled and beckoned Master to the back room, and Master followed with a smile and a big stride. At the same time, he waved his hand at me and motioned for me to follow along.

Before I had walked a few steps, an old face suddenly appeared from behind the door, which immediately startled me, and my master was obviously frightened in front of me, and the woman was just stunned for a moment, and then said, "Dad, is it suddenly black (scary)?, this time it's Master Fox, you can't recognize it?" ”

After listening to the girl's words, "that old face" came out from behind the door, and I saw that it was a very old man, with a white towel wrapped around his head, and a face full of vicissitudes of wrinkles.

I just looked at him like this, and I always felt that there was something wrong with this old man. I tugged at the corner of Master's clothes, trying to show him how I felt, Master pulled my hand away from behind, and made a gesture to stop, he understood, just don't let me talk nonsense, I didn't say anything more, and honestly stood by and watched them.

The master held the old man with both hands and said, "Lao Wang, it's me, old fox, do you remember me?" Come on, come on, sit down first, I haven't come to visit you for a long time, are you okay? ”

The old man didn't say anything stupidly.

The master saw that the old man did not answer, and looked at him carefully for a while: the old man's eyes were slightly swollen and black, and he didn't find any difference from normal people other than that, but from the master's eyes, he still saw a trace of distress.

The woman next to her saw that the master was talking to the old man, but the old man didn't even pay attention to it, and just now he poked his head out to scare him, and he was very upset, so he quickly explained: "I'm sorry, the old man of my family has been crazy recently, and he went to the hospital a few times, and the doctors said that it was Alzheimer's, and he prescribed some auxiliary drugs and asked us to take them home for conservative treatment." ”

The master nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and replied: "Girl, it's okay, look at where you are, I have been friends with your father for a long time, and I came to see the old man this time." As he spoke, the master groped the old man's hand, his eyes full of distress.

It was the first time I followed Master to meet him, an old man who was often mentioned, and when I saw his crazy appearance, I was a little afraid, and when I looked into the room, the room was also dirty, and the woman brought me a bowl of water, and I was about to drink it, when I saw that there were still unbrushed rice cereals sticking to the side of the bowl, and I didn't want to drink it at all.

I tugged at Master's sleeve and thought, "Let's go back after everyone I want to visit." At that time, I was still young, and I didn't know about human accidents, so I felt very uncomfortable in his house and wanted to take my master away.

Master glared back at me, and I was so frightened that I had to lower my head.

The woman next to us greeted us very warmly: "Master, you and the young man will go into the house first, and my father will come in in a while." ”

My master nodded and walked into the house. The old man still stood there stupidly with a blank face. I cautiously walked around him and hurried over the threshold. Just when I was not done across this action, a familiar shout suddenly appeared behind me: "Magnetic ba, magnetic ba", I listened to it and felt a cool back, the sound was very close, it should be from the old man, but this voice turned out to be an old lady shouting, so that I didn't cross the threshold, the heel hung on the threshold, and fell a dog gnawing mud, which made me angry.

This old man really scared me, although standing aside looked honest, maybe I had heard too much about "mentally ill people don't kill people" at that time, and I was really afraid of the old man, and now I want to stay away from this old man, but I was tripped by the threshold like this.

Master also heard this voice, turned around and saw me lying on the ground, all of whom have lived in the countryside, know that the mud floor in the house is also quite strong, this time I fell miserably, my whole body seemed to fall apart, I couldn't use my strength, and I couldn't get up in pain for a long time.

At this moment, the old man seemed to scream again, this time he didn't hear what he shouted, and the woman who walked in front was also frightened, and it seemed that he had never heard the old man call like this, my master came over and grabbed my neck, and pulled me up directly, and then I felt a fishy smell in my mouth, rubbing, and biting my tongue.

The old man was still standing there, at this time there was a grinning expression, my master walked over without saying a word, and directly took the ink fountain (this ink fountain is a kind of rope for the corpse, handed down by the master's ancestors, after a special refining, here I will also explain a little: if the corpse is raised, we will first look at the situation, first appease, and then if it doesn't work, we will go directly to the talisman, and then wrap the ankle with the ink fountain, and then look at the situation, please see if you please Zhenyin), and put a living trap on the old man, which is a trick that my master often uses, Although the set of things is not the same, I think the principle is similar. He pulled slightly, and the old man followed with a smile, and I guessed something at this time, it seems that this old man is not mentally ill, at least not an ordinary psychopath.

My master led the old man to the house, I ran to the master's side, vaguely asked what to do (because my tongue was bitten just now, it hurt to death, so I couldn't speak clearly), the master told me to go out and clean my body first, I nodded in frustration, I had come all the way to freeze to death, just got out of the car and vomited to the bottom, a foot deep and a shallow foot hiked for two hours to come to his house, this is good, I haven't entered the house yet, I tripped again, fell all over the body to hurt not to say, my tongue was bitten, and my clothes were dirty, I'm a big ......

The woman looked at me in such a mess, and I pointed to the back, saying that there was water behind me. I just remembered that when I first came, I saw a pond behind me, and I guess I was asked to go there to wash, so I limped towards the pond.

I washed my face casually and rinsed my mouth, the water was cold with ice slag! The more I think about it, the more angry I am, it's really cold, I have to go all the way to see my friend in such a corner, my friend is still mentally ill, I have to arch a fire when I go back, I'm angry, I've never been so embarrassed.

I slipped to the door in a huff, and saw that the master was sitting in the back room with the woman talking about something, but I didn't see the old man, so I was about to cross the door again, and I had just stepped halfway, and I saw that the old man was sitting next to the door, and I was startled, and my feet were retracted, and I calmed down, but fortunately, this time I had a little bottom, and I was not so panicked, so I slipped over from the other side of the door, and stood beside the master obediently, listening to them.

Come and go, I also heard something, the old man was half a month ago, after walking the night road back a little crazy, the old man in the village taught to go to the village to burn paper money, but it had no effect This woman is the old man's eldest daughter-in-law, the old man has four children, three men and one woman, the wife is gone, and he has not enjoyed the evening happiness and left, the old man's three sons are working in other places, and the daughter is married early, this is old and old, and he is still crazy, and he has not enjoyed any happiness in his life.

After hearing this, the master asked, "Have there been any deaths in our neighborhood recently?" ”

The woman's face changed, and she nodded solemnly.

"Oh, who is it?" My master picked up the tin can on the table and took a sip of water.

"The old woman in the village cupping, the old man of the Ejia family is here to make trouble, Master, did you say that the old woman is the body of the old woman of the Ejia family?" The old woman seemed to think of this at once, and hurriedly told the master.

"What's going on?" My master still asked unhurriedly.

"Hey, that's right..."

After the woman's detailed explanation, I also understood what was going on.

It turned out that the old woman in the village died a month ago, the old woman had no children and no daughters, and she also made a living by scraping and scraping sand and cupping cups in the village, and she had no savings, and the funeral was all done with the money of the villagers.

But when it was time to choose a place to be buried, something happened.

At that time, cremation was not popular, and cremation was more expensive than burial, so there was no need to negotiate, and it was directly the main burial. At that time, there was also a feng shui master in the village, and he insisted that if this old woman was buried in the field of the Wang family (this friend of my master), the whole village would prosper.
