Chapter 157: The Neighboring Courtyard
"My eyes are not good, so the old woman went to the temple alone and waited, and I sat in the courtyard and waited, and later, the old woman brought you."
Listening to the blind old man talk about this, I glanced at Chen Hui, it turned out that he took us to their house to stay, it was premeditated, no wonder Chen Hui said to the old woman that he wanted to stay, the old woman said that there was no other place to live, only they had a place at home, and they directly led her to their home, no wonder it was such a cold day, the blind old man was sitting in the courtyard, and the old couple did not show the mountains and water, and they really thought they had met a kind person, but from the face of the old woman and the blind old man, they did not look like some evil people.
Chen Hui said: "What kind of immortal family have you offended, by the way, you just said that these families in the east of your village have all had an accident?" ”
The blind old man nodded, "Something happened, but our family died, and their families always dreamed of pinching someone's throat in the middle of the night, and when they choked their throats, they came out of their breath, and when they were about to die, that person let go of his hand." ”
Hearing the blind old man say this, Chen Hui glanced at me, I shook my head and said, "I've never heard grandma say such a strange thing. ”
Chen Hui asked again: "Have you offended any immortal family before?" ”
"What immortal family......" The blind old man stopped talking and was stunned, and at this moment, the old woman came out of the back room tremblingly, and I don't know when she woke up.
The blind old man, though his eyes were not good, but his ears were very bright, and he seemed to hear the footsteps of the old woman, and he raised his ear to the door of the inner room, and asked, "Son, are you awake?" ”
The old woman looked at a few of us, walked over, and said to the old man as she went, "Wake up, wake up, oh, I'm scared to death." ”
I quickly got up and gave her my little bench, and the old woman sat down with a polite word to me, and I asked her tentatively, "Grandma, what did you dream about just now?" ”
The old woman glanced at me and nodded, and I hurriedly said, "Then can you tell me what you dreamed about just now?" ”
I wondered why the old woman hanged herself, why she lay so well on the bed and got under the bed.
The old woman looked at the blind old man, then at Chen Hui, paused for a while, and then said slowly: "I dreamed that two girls in skirts called me down from the bed and said that they would take me to find my son, and then ...... I don't know why, so I put a rope around my neck, and I hung it on the beam of our house, and our old man's son, just watched, he wanted to save me, but he couldn't save me, and when I felt like I was about to hang, a person covered in golden light came, and I was untied from the beam, and after the man left, I felt someone pinching my neck, and I turned back and forth on the ground......"
When the old woman said this, I understood why she ran under the bed, because she couldn't get out of breath and rolled under the bed.
Chen Hui said: "It seems that you have really offended the immortal family, and it is a big crime, otherwise, the immortal family will not want your life, you still tell us what you have offended." ”
I glanced at Chen Hui, and it seemed that he was going to take care of this matter. However, the blind old man's whole family can suffer this retribution, it must be a big matter, and there are several nearby families, they must have provoked something together, maybe it is really like what Chen Hui said, offended the immortal family. It's a lot of trouble to manage things like this.
The old woman looked at the blind old man, both of them seemed to hesitate, I secretly gave Chen Hui a look, I stood up from the stool, and asked the old woman, "Grandma, where is your toilet, I want to go to the toilet." ”
The old woman hurriedly pointed out the location of the toilet to me, I turned my head and gave Chen Hui another look, turned around and walked out of the hall.
When I came to the courtyard, I didn't go to the toilet, I stood in the courtyard and took out a cigarette and lit it and smoked, and after a while, Chen Hui also came out of the hall and came to me and asked me in a low voice: "What's wrong with the Yellow River." ”
I lowered my voice and said: "I look at their family's affairs, it's not easy to manage, we can't offend the fairy family, anyway, they don't know what we do, let's just stay with them for one night, don't worry about these things." ”
Chen Hui said: "Receiving the grace of dripping water, since we should be reported by Yongquan, since we are staying in someone's house, we have to repay them, follow me into the house and ask again, ask clearly, if you can manage it, if you can't manage it, we can't do it." ”
I said: "The three Taoist priests in the south temple of their village, I think they also have some ability, they should also be in charge of this matter, let's not care about this idle matter." ”
Chen Hui said: "If they really are here to take care of this matter, will this old couple be in trouble tonight?" ”
Chen Hui said this, I really can't deal with it, Chen Hui turned around and went back to the house, I didn't hurry back, I smoked in the courtyard unhurriedly, I wanted to finish the cigarette and then go back to the house, but, suddenly a gust of wind came, I felt stunned, at the same time, faintly, I heard someone crying, as if it was the neighbor's house next to the old woman.
The left and right neighbors of the old woman's house, and the old woman's house are only separated by a wall, and they are all earthen courtyard walls, not so high, I walked to the east wall and listened, it was indeed their neighbor to the west who was crying, it sounded like a woman was crying, at this time, I didn't know which of my tendons was in the wrong place, so I wanted to lean on the wall to look at their neighbor's house.
Turning his head back and forth, there is a stone trough next to it, it seems that the old woman and her family used to raise livestock, this stone trough is used to feed the livestock, but now the cattle are not fed, and the stone trough is thrown to the root of the wall and abandoned.
I moved the stone trough behind the wall, stood on the stone trough against the wall, and tiptoed a little, just enough to see the old woman and neighbor's house from a distance.
I saw that the neighbor's family was poor enough, and the old woman's house was one hall and one west house, and their house had only one hall, and it looked very dilapidated, if it were in our village, this house would no longer be able to live in.
At this time, the lights were on in the hall, and the light came out of the hall and fell in the courtyard, and on the ground in the courtyard, there was a woman sitting, and it was so cold in the middle of the night, and the woman was not afraid of the cold, and she sat there holding something, as if it was a very tightly wrapped child, and the woman was holding the child and sitting on the ground whining and crying, although the crying sound was not loud, but it sounded very sad.
I watched it for a while, and suddenly wondered why I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, holding a child and crying in the yard. At this moment, the clothes behind me were pulled, and I was suddenly excited, and hurriedly looked back, it was Qiang Shun, this bear child, I don't know when it came to me quietly.
Qiang Shun blinked his eyes and looked at me twice, and asked, "Huanghe, what are you not looking at?" ”
I was afraid that the woman in the courtyard would hear it, so I raised my finger and shushed on my mouth, and Qiang Shun pulled my clothes again, "The Taoist chief told you to go back to the house and say that I have something to tell you." ”
I glanced at the woman again, who was still crying, as if not noticing us, and I came down from the stone trough and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Qiang Shun said: "You will know when you get to the house." As he spoke, Qiang Shun stepped up to the stone trough, looked at the old woman's neighbor's yard, and said, "Huanghe, what are you looking at, there is nothing in this courtyard." ”
What? I was just about to step back to the house at this time, and when I heard Qiang Shun say this, I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't you see a woman crying in the courtyard?" ”
Qiang Shun stood on the stone trough and looked back at me, "What a woman, it's dark, there's nothing." ”
"What? Impossible. "I used to pull Qiang Shun off the stone trough, stepped up to the stone trough and looked at the courtyard, and was stunned, and saw the old woman and neighbor's yard, not only empty nothing, but also dark, I was a little dumbfounded, this is not right, just now I saw a woman, sitting on the ground in the courtyard crying, this is only a long time, not only is the person gone, but the lights in the house are not on?
I turned my head and asked Qiang Shun, "When you came to me just now, did you hear anyone crying in this courtyard?" ”
Qiang Shun shook his head blankly, "No, I didn't hear anything." ”
I suddenly bared my teeth, and I was really fucking awkward.
Qiang Shun tugged at my clothes again, "Let's go, the Taoist chief specially asked me to come out and call you." ”
I nodded, and looked into the courtyard again, there was really nothing, hey, let's go.
When I returned to the house, I saw a few bowls of hot water on the table, and they were all steaming.
Chen Hui said at this time: "Yellow River, I asked clearly just now, in the east of their village, not far from here, there is a temple, but what ......about it" Chen Hui looked at the old woman and the blind old man, and the old woman saw Chen Hui looking at her, and quickly lowered her head, as if she had done something wrong.
Chen Hui continued: "However, later, because something happened in their village, they burned down the temple. ”
"Burned?" I hurriedly asked, "What happened to burn down the temple?" I looked at the old woman, and then at the blind old man, and they were silent.
Chen Hui took a sip of the water bowl in front of him and said, "Because, last year, a feng shui gentleman came, and the feng shui gentleman said that this temple was pressed on the male position in their village, so many men in their village could not marry wives, and the closer to the temple, the more powerful it was." ”
As soon as I heard it, there was still this saying in feng shui, Chen Hui continued: "These families in the east of them are the closest to the temple, so in every family, there is a man who has not married a daughter-in-law. Chen Hui raised his hand and pointed, "Let's just talk about the east side of the house, I finally married a daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law died in childbirth, and now, there is no one in their house, so they moved away." ”
What, I was stunned and moved away? The woman I just saw holding the child......
