Chapter 118: The boy who is haunted by nine snakes

Although Lin Chu and Xu Minghao live in the bustling Dongcheng District, in this city, they can be said to be out-and-out poor eggs.

It is precisely because they live in Dongcheng District that they rarely have the opportunity to come to Xicheng District.

Not to mention Cheung Chau, which is located in the middle of nowhere in Xicheng District.

Look at this old neighborhood in front of you.

The two suddenly had the illusion of returning to their hometown.

Xu Minghao was stunned and said: "I didn't expect that there would be such a broken place in Shencheng, similar to the third-tier small county town in our hometown." ”

Lin Chu glanced at the old man who was rummaging through the mineral water bottle in the garbage can, and sighed: "Shencheng is a microcosm of our country, the poor places are particularly poor, and the rich places are especially rich. ”

Xu Minghao said: "Then I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to find the villagers of Xiaogang Village here." How could their locals still live in such a place. ”

Lin Chu didn't have much hope and said, "I'm here, just ask first." ”

The two of them asked seven or eight shops and more than a dozen passers-by in a row.

Their accents are from all over the world.

All of them are outsiders, not to mention the villagers of Xiaogang Village back then, but they haven't even seen a single local in Shencheng.

Lin Chu was disappointed and prepared to think of a way after leaving and going back.

At this moment, he saw a full hand-pulled cart on the steep slope ahead, the rope was on the edge of the edge that was about to fall off, and the paper plastic bottles tied on it were about to pour down.

Lin Chu immediately ran forward, holding the cart with one hand and the goods on it with the other.

Xu Minghao also ran up immediately and pressed the other side.

The old man who was pulling the cart in front of him suddenly felt more and more relaxed, so he looked back suspiciously, and realized that it was two young people who were helping him.

The old man was very moved: "Thank you two, if it weren't for you, all these waste products I picked up would have to roll down." ”

Lin Chu smiled and said, "Old man, it's just a gesture, you don't have to take it too seriously." ”

Then he and Xu Minghao worked together to help the old man push the cart up this steep slope of nearly 100 meters.

Then he also helped the old man re-bundle the scrap.

Then he said goodbye to the old man and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute."

The old man suddenly stopped Lin Chu and Xu Minghao.

Lin Chu asked suspiciously: "Old man, do you have anything else?" ”

The old man wiped his sweat with the towel hanging around his neck and said, "I used to be a villager from Xiaogang Village. ”

Lin Chu was overjoyed, looking at the old man's age, when Xiaogang Village was relocated, he must have been in the prime of life, so he must have known the life experience of that mysterious young man.

Xu Minghao said even more excitedly: "Cousin, this must be called stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go!" ”

The old man said, "When I was digging through the garbage just now, I heard that the two of you have been inquiring about the villagers of Xiaogang Village. Now all the villagers in this place have run away except for me. ”

Lin Chuchu wondered why the old man used the word "run"?

This sounds like the villagers of Xiaogang Village are forced to leave Cheung Chau, as if they are frightened.

The old man then asked, "What do you want to inquire about us, the former villagers of Xiaogang Village?" ”

Lin Chu immediately said: "Uncle, I want to inquire about someone, he is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy with greasy hair, some natural curls, heavy dark circles, and likes to have nails in his mouth. ”

The old man's face suddenly changed, and his old eyes revealed a complicated expression.

Not only frightened and surprised, but also guilty and remorseful.

"You ...... Did you see him too? ”

"Hmm. A friend of mine was hospitalized with a serious illness and I knew he had extraordinary abilities, so I wanted to know something about him. ”

Lin Chu confessed his purpose.

The old man pondered for a moment and sighed: "It's not convenient to talk here, so come with me to my house." ”

Lin Chu immediately expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, uncle." ”

Xu Minghao diligently went to pull the rope of the cart on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you rest for a while, and let me pull the car for you." ”

The two of them, led by the old man, came to a courtyard courtyard.

The yard is littered with all kinds of waste wine bottles.

This is the old man's home.

Lin Chu looked a little sad.

Xu Minghao leaned in and whispered, "Cousin, this old man is not easy." But I don't understand, he is a local, and he is a demolition household, how can he not fall into such a tragic end. ”

Lin Chu solemnly warned: "Shut your mouth, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't ask randomly." ”

After a while, the old man moved three chairs and came out: "My room is even more messy, so I won't invite you to sit down." ”

Lin Chu said politely: "It's okay, just sit outside." ”

He and Xu Minghao took a chair and sat down.

The old man said: "You must be curious in your hearts, how did this place in Cheung Chau, which was originally a resettlement site assigned by the city government to our Xiaogang Village, become the current situation?" ”

Lin Chu nodded: "Uncle, why did everyone else leave Changzhou except for you?" ”

The old man sighed and said, "They were all scared away by the child. ”

Lin Chu asked, "Is the kid you are talking about the boy we want to inquire about?" ”

The old man nodded: "Who else would it be if it wasn't him?" ”

Lin Chu said, "Can you tell us more about him?" ”

Since the old man had brought the two of them home, he had already made plans to tell them, but he pondered for a long time before he spoke.

After about a few minutes, he said slowly, "That child's name is Jun Yi, and this name was given to him by his mother when she was pregnant with him. It's a pity that his mother died in childbirth when she was about to give birth. ”

"Junyi's child was born different. When other children were born, they couldn't stop crying. But when he was born, he was quiet and did not cry. ”

"In addition, he killed his mother, so everyone thinks he is an ominous person, and even his father, grandparents, grandparents and grandparents don't like him."

Xu Minghao complained for the young man: "People in your era are really superstitious, and they died in childbirth, which means that the level of medical care is low, and not every newborn cries." It's too unreasonable for you to put the cauldron of a plague star on the head of a little baby at every turn, right? ”

The old man was not angry because of these fierce words, but said more calmly: "This is not superstition, Junyi's child is really very peculiar, I will tell you about an incident not long after he was born." ”

Lin Chu and Xu Minghao immediately pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"On the third day of the child's birth, his family decided to throw him into the river and drown. But the child fell into the water, still not crying, not struggling, just quietly sinking to the bottom. But in less than a minute, he was wrapped around nine arm-thick black water snakes and pulled ashore from the water. After the nine water snakes sent Jun Yi to the shore, they all sank into the water and left. ”

Xu Minghao was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

Lin Chuchu was also extremely shocked.

Surrounded by nine dragons, it is naturally the chosen one who has passed through heaven and earth.

Haunted by nine snakes, who could it be?

The old man continued: "I happened to be washing vegetables by the river at that time, and I witnessed this scene with my own eyes. I was terrified, as were the father and grandparents of the child on the shore. In our rural areas, there is a saying that if a child does not drown once, it means that the child is hard, and the Lord of Yama will not accept it. So no matter how poor the family is, you have to grit your teeth and raise him. So they had to take the child back and raise it. ”

Lin Chuxin knew very well that in fact, in the era when Jun Yi was born, although the countryside was poor, it was not so poor that he said that he wanted to drown his children.

In order to save rations, drowning newborns, such cruel things, only happened in the famine years when children could not be delivered.

Obviously, Junyi's family wants to drown him, out of disgust, and they feel that this child is an ominous disaster.

Lin Chuxin sighed helplessly, and then asked: "Then what happened when he grew up?" ”

Not long after, his father married a new daughter-in-law and had a son, so the whole family hated him even more. Not only was he unpopular at home, but he was also unpopular in the village. Because the boy grew older, the darker and weirder his personality became, and he often played pranks and pranks, so the people of the village avoided him......"

The old man suddenly changed his words and said, "It's not so much that everyone hates him, it's better that everyone is afraid of him." Because as he gets older, the two abilities in him become more and more obvious, and the older he gets, the more frightening and unsettling he becomes. ”

"What ability?"

Lin Chu and Xu Minghao asked almost in unison.

The old man said five words with a heavy face: "Foreknowledge and curse." ”

Lin Chu was surprised: "He was born with the ability to foresee and curse? ”

The old man nodded: "He said that if there is a fire in a certain house, there will definitely be a fire in such and such a house, and he said that someone will break his leg, and someone will definitely break his leg." If it is said that the crops in a certain place will wither, the crops in a certain place will surely wither...... Because he foresaw bad things, people couldn't tell which ones he foretold and which ones he cursed. So they were all very disgusted, and at the same time, they were very subconsciously afraid of him. ”

When Lin Chu heard this, he became even more curious.

Why did such a boy who was born strange and possessed the ability of foreknowledge and curse stop forever at the age of thirteen or fourteen?
