Chapter 145: Immortal Wife
"And then?" Xuan Po couldn't wait to ask.
"Later." Grandpa crouched down, peered into the hole, and said nonchalantly, "He was eavesdropping behind the curtain." The woman said, give me two pounds of fried chestnuts on credit, and my husband will come to pay the bill. The shopkeeper wrapped her in a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts and asked, "When will your husband come to pay off the money you owe?" The woman said, "It's almost there." The shopkeeper coughed, prompting him to pay attention. The curtain is made of burlap, and the gap is relatively large. He could see the woman's appearance from behind the curtain. At first the woman turned her back to him, and he could not be sure if she was his original wife. Because his wife had been dead for a few years, he heard the sound like, but he wasn't sure what it was. When the woman wrapped the fried chestnuts with sugar and turned around and left the store, he almost screamed! This woman is really the wife who has been dead for many years! ”
Since it was late at night, the wind was whining in the distance. Although there were hundreds of us standing in front of the grave of the mountain father, we couldn't help but shiver.
Grandpa went on to say casually: "He knows that things are extraordinary. Didn't immediately run out to recognize each other. After his wife walked out of the door, he came out from behind the curtain, paid all the money he owed for the sugar-fried chestnuts he owed in the past, and then hurriedly chased out of the store and quietly followed his wife. His wife walked in the same direction as where she was buried. He followed his wife through many winding mountain roads and finally came to her grave. At this moment, a small child ran to meet his wife. The child took his wife's hand and was about to go into the tomb together. In desperation, he shouted his wife's name. His wife and the child looked back and saw him. His wife's face immediately changed and she fell to the ground. The little kid stood stunned, bewildered. He hurriedly rushed over and hugged his wife, but at this time, his wife's skin quickly changed color and rotted, and after a while, it turned into a puddle of rotten water and bones. The little child cried and cried when he saw this! It turned out that this little child was the posthumous child of dystocia back then! ”
After Grandpa finished speaking, no one spoke for a long time. The cold wind gently swept over people's faces.
Xuan Po took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth, took out a match, and struck a few times but did not ignite. She put the cigarette back in her mouth and asked in a hoarse voice, "What happened to that child?" ”
Grandpa said, "My father's classmates came to him to ask about it. He didn't know what to do with the child. My father said that he who died is already dead, and he who is alive must live. The man nodded and walked away. I heard that the kid was very capable, and later became the county magistrate. ”
Xuan Po suddenly made a clever suggestion: "Then we can use the same method to deal with the red-haired savage." ”
I asked, "What is the same method?" ”
"Tell a relative to call his name, and when he hears his relative call his name, doesn't it become a rotten bone? We don't need to do it. Xuan Po said excitedly.
"Where are you going to find his dearest?" Grandpa asked.
Xuan Po scratched her scalp and said embarrassedly: "Yes, his wife, his son is dead, even his old buffalo who can't speak is dead." There's no one else to help with. So what should I do? ”
Grandpa stood up, looked at the few stars in the sky with his eyes off the hole, and said, "Even if he has a loved one alive, it may not work for him." ”
"Why?"
"Because that's the bones, it's the red hair." Grandpa said.
"By the way, you said that this is a dog's braincase, why hasn't Daddy's daughter-in-law been resurrected?" As soon as the woman spoke, everyone else nodded.
Pointing to the large and small graves, Grandpa explained, "Even if a dog's braincase hole is formed, the corpse must be located in the brain of the dog's brain. The position of the mountain daddy's daughter-in-law is on the dog's nose, and it can't form a resurrection place. ”
The election woman said "oh", indicating that she understood. The doubts of the people were also solved.
I reminded everyone, "We've been talking for a while, and I don't know where the red-haired ghost has gone now." Shall we chase it tonight? ”
Grandpa said, "I just looked at this hole, and I counted the days." These days, the moonlight is weak and the yang energy is strong, and the red-haired savages will not hurt people for the time being. Everyone went back and kept all the roosters in the chicken coop so that the red-haired savages would not eat them. It is a trivial matter for a chicken to eat it, but a red-haired savage who eats the blood of a rooster will increase his strength, which makes it more difficult to deal with. The red-haired savages will be back here tomorrow night, let's go back and rest first, sleep until the sun rises, store more strength, and come over tomorrow night to deal with the red-haired savages. ”
"Uh-huh." Everyone replied one after another.
"Also," said Grandpa, waving his hand, "when you go back, sweep up the old dust from the beams and wrap it in yellow paper." ”
"Dust on the roof beams?" Xuan Po glared and asked, "What's the use?" ”
Grandpa deliberately sold Guan Zi and said, "I'll know when I come tomorrow night." ”
After speaking, the grandfather stabbed the flat pole in his hand into the hole of the grave, and said with a spell: "Thousands of miles, I only need a needle!" ”
The flat pole was inserted into the hole, and only a short end was exposed at the mouth of the hole, like a cold snake that had not yet climbed into the snake hole.
Looking up at the moon, it was dim and dim, not like a glowing disk, but like a light-absorbing whirlpool.
