"There were too many people watching the excitement that day, and they didn't pay attention, and there were a lot of people around at once. Originally, it was a good place, but the master made a magic altar, it is said that there is a bronze tripod, and he also killed pigs and sheep to worship, and the incense burned was so thick that many people couldn't open their eyes. He kept jumping, walking around, chanting scriptures, and many people looked interesting and laughing. The murderer was kneeling at the edge of the altar, chanting scriptures and something. Suddenly, everyone saw the hanged man appear in the tree in front of them. The hanged ghost has knife wounds all over his body and does not bleed, but it is said to be black, and it is scary to look at when it comes out with thick water or something. Our Huixiang people were bold, shouted twice, and continued to watch. The master used something, and stabbed the hanged ghost, and the hanged ghost began to struggle as if he had come to life, but after two blows, he did not move, and died completely. ”

The security guard sighed, "This should have been over." But who would have thought that the master looked at the yin and yang, good guy, there were a lot of hanged ghosts hanging on the surrounding trees, and there were other imps hidden. He was so jealous that he immediately copied the guys and prepared to take them away. At that time, there was a dark wind blowing in the park, and the people watching the excitement felt that something was wrong and prepared to run. I don't know how many ghosts the master received, but the other ghosts suddenly screamed together, and many people were called so fainted that they fell to the ground and convulsed. They were lucky enough to get away with it. The rest of the awake were out of luck. They saw a dark shadow descend from the sky and burrow into the murderer's body. The murderer had bowed his head and recited the scriptures, but he didn't dare to raise his head, but when the ghost occupied his body, he jumped up, went berserk, grabbed the tall man, and twisted his neck. The other ghosts laughed and laughed, watching the murderer kill people when they saw them. Many people didn't dodge, and when they were caught by him, they just broke their necks. Some people resisted, but the murderer didn't seem to feel pain, and no matter how many injuries he had on his body, there was no change. ”

Lu Qiaolan was excited.

I also think this story is too much to brag.

The security guard was unconscious and continued: "Dozens of people died that time, and in the end it was characterized as a brawl, and it was over. But everyone here knows that many people have funerals in their homes, and when they talk about it, they are all crying. ”

"So you're afraid of outsiders coming?" I interrupted the security guard's emotion.

The biggest impression I have with this story is to explore the origin of the attitude of Huixiang people towards outsiders.

I remember seeing where I used to see that folklore and folklore reflect social conditions, and the stories contain people's ideas.

Huixiang people will be afraid of outsiders, it may be that outsiders have come here, resulting in some casualties.

This is not surprising and reasonable.

There are many fugitives from Huixiang here, and it is self-evident how much hidden danger and crisis they have brought to the local public security. It's strange that people here welcome people from outside the country.

Even if they don't come to beg, some locals will hate outsiders coming to their hometowns to steal their job opportunities, destroy their hometown environment, and bring all kinds of inconveniences to themselves.

People always see the bad side first, and it is easy to forget the benefits they have received.

There's nothing wrong with that.

But if the thoughts of the people of Huixiang lead to the frequent supernatural events here, and they are all aimed at outsiders, it will bring me too much trouble. Chen Xiaoqiu: They will also be more dangerous.

The security guard didn't understand my question for a while, and his train of thought was not on the same channel as me.

After thinking for a while, the security guard hesitated and replied, "Almost." When outsiders come, it's always a bit of trouble. You outsiders are either here to find trouble, or you are not used to the atmosphere here, you have never seen a ghost in your life, and you are scared enough to come to us, and you look at us like crazy. ”

When the security guard said this, he also showed a little resentment and helplessness.

We're talking as we go.

The security guard told the story for so long, and he didn't feel thirsty.

I asked him about ghosts hitting walls and killing or not killing, and he didn't have any new stories to tell. It seems that this is the common sense of Huixiang people, and there is nothing to say.

My guess is that this may be the result of a combination of their desire for self-preservation and their dislike of outsiders. If the ghosts they encounter will only attack outsiders, of course, they don't have to worry about their own safety, and they can calmly enjoy the benefits of this thing.

The annoying outsiders are dead and gone, and it has nothing to do with them, they don't have to be punished by the law and tortured by conscience. After all, ghosts are beyond human control, and ghosts can't complain about people when they kill people.

In other words, I might be amazed at the strange customs of Huixiang. But now that Chen Yihan and Chen Xiaoqiu's life and death are uncertain, I really can't be happy about the situation in Huixiang.

The security guard took us to the chess room he said.

The chess and card rooms everywhere are probably about the same, smoky and lively.

The security guard was familiar with the way, pulled someone and asked for a name, and after the other party reported the table number, he took us around the chess and card room with ease.

Soon, the security guard waved hello.

On the mahjong table in front, a young man with a shaved head and a cigarette in his mouth raised his hand, and immediately lowered his head again, focusing on the table.

The security guard was helpless, walked over and patted him, and pointed at me and Lu Qiaolan.

Young people are hesitant and reluctant to give up on the poker table.

This chess and card room is very noisy, and from time to time there is a rumble of mahjong machine shuffling, and I didn't hear what the security guard said. It is even more impossible to squeeze two big men into this narrow place.

But I saw that the young man's expression changed, and he looked at me cautiously.

I guess the security guard said that I caught a female ghost just now.

The young man shouted loudly, greeted the other three, and gathered up the change he had placed on the table.

Soon a man crowded over, and after some negotiation with the young man, he took the seat in front of the young man. He looked at the cards and said something to the young man with dissatisfaction. The young man stuffed him with a few pieces of money, and he smiled.

Security guards and young men squeezed out.

We didn't stay in the chess room for long, and the security guard introduced us after we got out of the chess and card room.

The security guard called the young man "Shoko", and Shoko always peeked at me and Lu Qiaolan, and when I asked to meet his relative who owned the commissary, Shoko agreed.

I asked Shoko to tell the ghost story again, and Shoko didn't refuse, and obediently told the story again, and the content was similar to what the security guard said.

Young people are mostly curious and flamboyant. Shoko looks less than twenty years old, he is tall, and he still has muscles on his body, but he is unexpectedly honest.

I think it's honestly weird.

"What do you always see us doing?" I asked directly, "What ghost stories have you heard about outsiders too?" ”
