Chapter 167: The Ring
I hurriedly asked the old woman, "What happened later?" ”
"Then ......," the old woman continued, "and then one day ...... Yes, that night, my son had eaten at night and walked for a while, and came back, and my father and I hadn't slept yet, and I saw that my son was holding a dead weasel in his hand, and there was blood on the upper of his shoes, so I asked him, why was there blood on the shoes, where did you get the blood, and he panicked and said that it was from this dead weasel, but then he ...... I saw that the weasel had good fur on it, and there were no wounds at all. ”
I hurriedly asked again, "Is that the same night that he had the ring on his hand?" ”
"Yes." The old woman nodded, "He handed me the weasel and told me to put the weasel up, and I saw that he had this ring on his hand, so I asked him where the ring came from, and he said he picked it up......"
Without waiting for the old woman to finish, Chen Hui asked, "Did your son only bring a ring and a weasel, and didn't he have anything else?" ”
The old woman turned her head and glanced at Chen Hui, the whole person was stunned, hesitated, I glanced at Chen Hui, and saw Chen Hui staring at the old woman with sharp eyes, as if she had found something.
The old woman didn't dare to look at Chen Hui with him, and after pausing for a while, the old woman said in a hurry: "Yes...... Also, there is a small leather bag, there are two small bottles and a small white bowl, on the two small bottles, there are paintings, our old man touched the two small bottles, said what is the nose, no, what is it...... Snuff bottles, our old man said, are supposed to be antiques. ”
Chen Hui and I immediately glanced at each other, snuff bottles, it seems to be something from the Qing Dynasty, an old object.
I asked my son where all this came from, and he didn't say anything at first, but then he told us...... When he and the neighbor's boy were taken out of a tomb, the old man and I were terrified. ”
Chen Hui and I looked at each other again, that's right, Mr. Feng Shui really took the old woman's son and their neighbors to rob the tomb, but during the tomb robbery, Mr. Feng Shui may have had some conflict with the two of them, the old woman's son and his neighbor's kid teamed up to cut off Mr. Feng Shui's head, and the blood on the old woman's son's shoes should have squirted out of Mr. Feng Shui's neck and splashed it.
If this is the case, the old woman's son died unjustly, not to mention stealing the grave and digging the grave, but also carrying the murder case, no wonder the thief hole for them to sit on with the statue, the general tomb robbers, the hole will not be backfilled, after the theft is over, they carried the idol back, just for fear of finding the corpse in the body, the original work is seamless, but it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a bad thing.
I asked the old woman again, "Did your son also bring the dead weasel back from the tomb?" ”
The old woman shook her head, "I don't know about this, my son didn't say it." ”
Then I asked the old woman, "Where are the things your son brought back and the dead weasel?" ”
The old woman looked at me, then at Chen Hui, and said with a blank face: "It's gone." ”
"What?"
The old woman explained: "Later, my son gave me the leather bag and the dead weasel, and the son said that the things in the bag are all treasures, and they can be sold for a lot of money, and if they sell for money in the future, they will be able to marry a daughter-in-law, and they also said that the dead weasel, and Ming'er peeled the skin and sold it for money, and I, as soon as I heard that I could sell it for money to marry my daughter-in-law, I hid the leather bag and the weasel in the cabinet, but ...... But when I opened the cabinet the next morning, I saw that the leather bag and the weasel were nowhere to be seen, but I searched the house and found nothing, because of this, my son had a quarrel with the two of us. After saying that, the old woman sighed with shame.
I said, "Later, you can talk about it." ”
"Later...... About two days later, the whole family in the east moved away at night without saying a word, and after they moved out, a few days later, our son was wrong, as if he hadn't woken up all day, confused, sometimes talking nonsense, hiding at home and not daring to go out, his father told me, is my son stupid...... We didn't dare to find a doctor for him, for fear that the people in the village would know that when he was not stupid, he would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
When the old woman said this, she sighed again, "Later, there was an evil thing in the village, especially in the east of our village, none of them were born in peace, either this crazy, or that stupid, I found several people to see, and they all said that it was because of the retribution for burning the temple, and we felt that our son might also be retributed, and the whole village made money to build another temple in the south of the village, who knew that after the temple was repaired, it would not be okay at all, this evil thing, there should be, and it is getting more and more ruthless, Many people in the village said that sometimes they could hear women crying at night, and some people ...... I also saw a woman holding a child and crying in the village at night......"
When the old woman said this, I swallowed dryly, and I also saw the woman holding the child's burden!
The old woman was still saying: "The people in our village think that the temple in the south is also unlucky, otherwise, why is there more and more evil things, so we discussed, go to the temple to see, and burn that temple again......
When Chen Hui heard the old woman say this, he frowned and said two words angrily, "Ignorant!" The old woman was startled, and looked at Chen Hui tremblingly.
I hurriedly smiled at the old woman and said, "Grandma, don't be afraid, our Daochang Chen is this temper, you can continue." ”
The old woman moved her eyes to me again, and said: "No, it's over, it's just last night, the village invited an old Taoist priest, and wanted the old Taoist priest to show it, but if it doesn't work, the temple will be burned again, I didn't want to go, my son said in a dream, I will meet the savior of our family there, I will go over, and then I will meet you." ”
Savior? The savior didn't save you, didn't the blind old man die like that? There are some things, if you let others eliminate the karma you have created, you are creating karma again, but the death of this blind old man seems to be a little wronged.
At this time, I thought back to the situation last night, no wonder after the old Taoist priest found out the headless ghost, the woman who watched the temple said that it was a headless ghost, and it had nothing to do with our temple, it turned out that the people in their village wanted to burn the temple again.
Now, things were almost a bit clearer, and I walked over to the table and picked up the green ring. The death of the old woman's son should be the headless ghost, but what's the matter with the blind old man, why does he keep hitting the coffin?
I looked at the ring again, and I said, "Is it that thing in the tomb?" But even if the thing in the tomb had a blind old man attached to it, why did it hit the coffin? Is it just for this ring? By the way, and the leather bag and the dead weasel, which disappeared the next day, where did they go? Does it have something to do with the thing in the tomb, it came at night and brought the weasel's body and leather bag back to the tomb?
I asked the old woman again, "Grandma, is the dead weasel that your son brought back very small, only about a foot long?" ”
"yes." The old woman stretched out two hands and gestured to me, "It's so long." "The old woman's gesture is only a foot long.
I nodded, this is almost the right number, the dead weasel brought back by the old woman's son should be the one I saw in the ancient tomb, as for why the dead weasel got into the eye socket of the skull, this is hard to say.
Afterwards, Chen Hui and I walked out of the hall and went to the courtyard to discuss in a whisper, Chen Hui had the same idea as me, the one who killed the old woman's son should be a headless ghost, and the one who killed the blind old man was the thing in the ancient tomb, and the thing in the ancient tomb probably wanted to get this ring back. As for the female ghost who appeared in the village, neither of us could figure out what was going on, and Qiang Shun heard a woman crying in the ancient tomb at the entrance of the cave before, and he couldn't figure out what was going on. I feel that there are a lot of things going on.
In a blink of an eye, a morning has passed, the time has come to noon, the old woman at this time, she is not in the mood to cook, Chen Hui cooked a pot of noodles, let the old woman eat, the old woman shook her head and said that she couldn't eat it, and whoever left it in the house became like this, she couldn't eat it.
After a few of us had dinner, Chen Hui discussed with me whether to find a way to get a coffin for the blind old man, and then help find a place to bury the father and son, so that the bodies of the father and son could not be left to dry there all the time.
Although Chen Hui is a Taoist priest, he has a bodhisattva heart, so I nodded and agreed.
Chen Hui called the four of us to the courtyard and asked us to take out all the things that could be sold for money, to see if we could make up a coffin for the blind old man, what do we have on us, Qiang Shun and Silly Niu have nothing on them, but I still have a few yuan on me, this is the money that Chen Hui gave me to buy cigarettes before.
Chen Hui took out all the money on his body again, adding a total of one piece, just about two hundred yuan, Chen Hui looked at me and asked, "Huanghe, are you gone?" ”
My heart suddenly jumped, and my heart said, there is still ten yuan, which Grandma Huangshan gave me, telling me to spend it at the most critical juncture, now...... It's certainly not the most critical juncture. I shook my head at Chen Hui and said a word, and there was no point.
Chen Hui sighed, took the money to the hall to find the old woman, I took out two cigarettes from my body, handed one to Qiang Shun, lit the cigarette, and smoked it with a weak heart.
After a while, Chen Hui came out of the hall and said to me with a sad face: "This old woman has no money at home, so we can't even buy a sycamore coffin with such a little money." ”
I smoked a cigarette, took the ring out of my pocket, and said to Chen Hui, "Dao Chief, how much do you think this can be worth?" ”
Chen Hui looked at it, shook his head again, and said: "Even if it's valuable, we won't be able to sell it for a while, it's so remote here, unless we go to some big cities to find someone to sell it." ”
I laughed, "I have a way to sell it, and, ...... tonight."
