Chapter 045: The head is on the ground, and the body is twisted
My body was getting colder and colder, I caught a glimpse of the blood on Yu Xuemin's hands, my teeth kept chattering, and my eyes were black.
Yu Xuemin bowed his head and whispered in my ear: "I'm helping you get rid of ......"
With that, he threw the knife to the ground, and his hands seemed to hold a bloody round thing.
He took out a piece of yellow cloth with a talisman from his pocket and wrapped it up, pursed his lips and looked at me, there was pity in his eyes, and in an instant he was full of disgust: "If it weren't for Xiao Yu protecting you, I would have finished you with my own hands." ”
As the words fell, he stepped over the corpse of the old man and left.
I lay on the Tongyin Stone in despair, my mind was a mess, and I twisted my neck vigorously to look at the old man.
His body was lying on the ground in an extremely distorted position, his face facing me, his face was bruised, his eyes were round, his mouth was wide open, and his tongue was drooping to the ground......
"Dad......" I called him in a hoarse voice, tears streaming down my face.
My head was getting heavier and heavier, I was tired, I gritted my teeth and didn't dare to close my eyes, I was afraid that I wouldn't wake up.
"Tuzi!" I suddenly heard Xiao Yu's voice.
I was shocked, looking around for his figure, and suddenly a hand reached out in front of me, grabbed me by the collar, and slammed it hard.
I felt like I was being dragged up, and by the time I could react, I had fallen to the ground.
I moved, my heart was ecstatic, I could move!
I was busy looking for the old man, but I froze the moment I turned around, this was not the room I was in before.
Although this room is also a blue brick wall, the paintings on the wall are very different.
The paintings on the walls here are painted in black with blood red outlining the figures, and on the east and west walls are rows of people kneeling on the ground facing south, their heads on the ground in a twisted and strange way.
I gasped, it was exactly the same as the posture of the fourth grandmother who died!
I looked at the south wall, and there was a large black stone painted on it, on which a man was lying with his hands folded in front of his chest, and on the back of his hand was a small disc the size of a palm, carved with the sexagenary branch of the heavens and the earth, like a compass, and an iron ring on the outside.
Looking up again, this person actually had yellow paper on his face!
Why is this so similar to Xiao Yu?
I boldly walked a few steps forward, reached out and touched the wall, but my hand passed directly through the wall, and at the same time a gust of wind blew, and the four walls were blown away like smoke, and the surrounding area became black and hollow.
I was almost so frightened that I didn't catch my breath, and subconsciously shouted: "Xiao Yu? ”
When the words fell, my shoulders suddenly felt cold, and I was forcibly turned around, just in front of Xiao Yu's yellow paper face.
"Xiao ......" I pointed to the painting behind me, and before I could finish speaking, he grabbed my hand and put a round thing on my wrist.
I looked down and saw that this was not the iron ring on the outside of the compass.
Xiao Yu put his hand on the iron ring and bent over, although through the yellow paper face, I could still feel that he was staring into my eyes.
"Go back and don't talk to anyone about it, you know?" He said.
I nodded stunned and said anxiously: "Xiao Yu, where is my dad?" ”
He let go of my wrist, and the iron ring that had been on my head was gone, except for a light black mark on my skin.
He bounced on my head, and I couldn't help but close my eyes, and my body was light, as if I was being dragged backwards by an invisible rope, and finally my chest ached.
"Hmm......" I gritted my teeth and snorted, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Zhao Yi looking at me nervously.
He was wrapping a strip of white cloth around his chest, and when he saw that I woke up, he breathed a sigh of relief and took out a yellow talisman and slapped it on my head.
The yellow charm burned out, my body gradually warmed up, and the pain in my chest became clearer and clearer.
I sat up with my chest covered, and found that I had been moved to the ground, Zhao Yi had already carried the old Yu head and put it on the Tongyin stone, he picked up the knife that Yu Xuemin threw on the ground, and cut the old Yu head's neck neatly.
Blood flowed to the Tongyin Stone, and a terrible cry came from the Tongyin Stone.
Zhao Yi held the knife that was still dripping blood, walked to the paper ingots on the south wall in a few steps, sat down cross-legged, holding a cinnabar talisman in his hand, and his mouth moved quickly.
The yin wind blew around the Tongyin stone, and the crying became louder and louder.
Zhao Yi slammed the rune paper and pointed to the sky, the rune paper burned with a bang, and he pressed the burning rune paper on Yuanbao Mountain with his backhand.
The old man's body tensed suddenly, only to hear a thunderous roar, and the kerosene lamp in the cave went out.
In the dark, I felt someone walking past me, at first glance it sounded like a person, but when I was careful to distinguish it, it looked like a group of people, with uniform steps.
I reached out and touched only half of the hardwood, and I was busy withdrawing my hand, reaching out again after a while, this time touching nothing.
I don't know how long later, the kerosene lamp in the four corners of the room was lit by Zhao Yi again, he picked me up from the ground, and said, "Go, go home." ”
I looked into the house, and there were footprints on the ground, like a man walking on tiptoe.
And the Tongyin Stone and the old man are gone!
"Uncle, where's my dad?" My heart is cold.
He didn't stop and said, "Let's go, he'll be back." ”
I didn't believe him, and struggled to get off the ground: "You're lying to me, where did you get my dad's body?" ”
I watched Yu Xuemin strangle the old man to death, why did he leave by himself? Not to mention coming back.
Thinking of this, I began to cry again, I had no father, and my heart was uncomfortable to death.
"Don't make a fuss, be honest." Zhao Yi said in a deep voice, "He will come back, believe me." ”
I didn't believe him at all, if it weren't for the pain in my chest and the lack of strength in my body, I would have gone down to the ground to find Lao Yutou, so that he wouldn't have hugged me.
I bowed my head and shed tears, feeling useless.
As soon as Zhao Yi hugged me to the entrance of the village, my grandmother greeted her, and when she saw the blood on my clothes, she almost fainted with fright.
"Hurry up and send Tuzi to the hospital." She said with a white face.
Zhao Yi shook his head, "Auntie, Tuzi is fine, let's go home first, let the people in the village see it." ”
As soon as I entered the house, my grandmother immediately sent Zhao Yi to boil water, saying that she wanted to bathe me.
When he came out of the house, my grandmother closed the door and locked the curtains, and I was still in tears, she had already untied my clothes.
Seeing my chest, my grandmother's face changed suddenly, and she was distressed, but she was more stunned, and muttered, "There is really such an evil thing." ”
I was about to bow my head when she stopped me, and she buttoned me up and said, "It's nothing, don't look at it." ”
I was full of old people who were dead, and I didn't notice that something was wrong with my grandmother, so I hugged her arm and choked up: "Grandma, my dad...... No, he was strangled to death by Yu Xuemin. ”
Saying that, I have now gnawed at Yu Xuemin's heart, and I threw myself into my grandmother's arms and cried.
She hugged me, didn't ask the old man why he didn't have it, and sighed: "It seems that he still has a conscience." ”
My eyes ached when I hugged my grandmother crying, and my head began to hurt.
Grandma hugged me silently, not knowing what she was thinking, and suddenly said: "On the fifteenth day of the next lunar month, burn more paper money for him." ”
As soon as she said this, the tears that I had stopped began to flow again.
Grandma came back to her senses, held my face to wipe my tears, and coaxed me softly.
She showered me and changed my clothes before going home.
I finally realized that something was wrong with my grandmother, and she wouldn't let me look down when I was taking a shower and changing clothes.
Thinking of this, I busily unbuttoned my clothes, looked at my chest, and was shocked.
On my right side of my chest was a round scar the size of a child's palm, which looked very hideous, but it was no longer bleeding, and the wound had grown tender flesh.
I reached out and pressed it, and I gasped in pain.
I trembled and went down to find Zhao Yi, "Uncle, what's the matter with the injury on my chest?" ”
He glanced at me and explained, "The wound on your body is not the same as if you were cut by a knife in normal times, and you will understand the difference later, you just need to remember now that the wound on your chest is fine." ”
I touched the scar on my chest, and it took me a long time to react, and it was also evil.
Zhao Yi burned the clothes I wore into the dwarf bun and said to me, "I'll take you to your uncle Jianguo's house." ”
I immediately nodded, ran to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, I was going to fight with Yu Xuemin,
Zhao Yi snatched the kitchen knife in my hand with a dark face and put it on the big closet, I was so angry that I couldn't do it, and finally took the burning stick and walked to Yu Jianguo.
On the way, a village asked us where Lao Yutou went, and I immediately reddened my eyes, "My dad ......"
Before I finished speaking, Zhao Yi covered my mouth and said, "Lao Yu is far away, she didn't bring soil, she is not happy." ”
The man saw that my eyes were red, and said with a smile: "Tuzi, you are a big girl now, even if your father doesn't take you out, you can't cry." ”
I stomped on Zhao Yi's feet, he snorted, and covered my mouth like that, and didn't let go of me until I entered Yu Jianguo's door.
Yu Jianguo was sitting in the courtyard smoking with a sad face.
I ran to him with a burning stick and said angrily, "Uncle Jianguo, where is Yu Xuemin? ”
He said dejectedly, "Let's go." ”
"How can you let him go, he strangled my dad to death." I said angrily.
Yu Jianguo was choked directly, and his cough eased for a long time, and his lips trembled, "What you said is true?" ”
I nodded firmly, he threw down the cigarette pouch and pot, snatched my burning stick, and said with a blushing face, "I'll go after him and see if I don't kill him." ”
Zhao Yi hurriedly stopped him, "It's useless for you to catch up now, I'm here to tell you, you have to go to your Yu family's ancestral grave at twelve o'clock tonight to burn paper, Tuzi is a girl, I am an outsider, and now you are the most suitable person." ”
Yu Jianguo immediately agreed, and finally asked with red eyes: "Then what can I do about my brother?" ”
Zhao Yi said: "It was said to the outside world that Lao Yutou had gone far away, and he would tell the people in the village half a month later that he had a car accident on the road and the people were gone." ”
I looked at Zhao Yi in surprise, and couldn't figure out why he was doing this.
"Why?" Yu Jianguo asked.
Zhao Yi explained: "Now the dwarf bun is rumored to be chattering, if you let others know that something happened to Lao Yutou now, it is difficult for the people in the village to guarantee that they will not think about it, and they will talk about it for half a month, and then someone will send a blet back, and you will treat it as Lao Yu." ”
He paused at this point, and then said: "This is all done by Lao Yu before, let's just don't tell the news of his death." ”
Hearing Zhao Yi say this, Yu Jianguo hurriedly responded.
Zhao Yi didn't go directly, but stayed until midnight, carrying a shovel and going to the ancestral grave with Yu Jianguo.
I followed behind with a flashlight, staring at Zhao Yi aggrievedly.
He rubbed his arms and said, "What are you doing looking at me?" Look at the road. ”
"Uncle, can my dad really come back?" I asked nervously, I didn't believe it, but when I heard him say that the old man had all been arranged, I seemed to believe it a little.
He touched my head and said very seriously: "Yes, your dad will definitely come back, when did I lie to you?" ”
I was ecstatic in my heart, happily grabbing his sleeve, and the haze in my heart was all gone, "Is my dad pretending to be dizzy to deceive Yu Xuemin?" ”
Zhao Yi said casually: "You'll know the first thing here when you grow up, and I won't say it if you ask me now." ”
As we spoke, we had arrived at the ancestral tomb of the Yu family, Zhao Yi took me to stand on the side, asked Yu Jianguo to go to the grave one by one, and gave him six pieces of rune paper to burn in front of the largest grave.
I tiptoed and looked, and I was secretly shocked, wasn't this a piece of rune paper buried in it when Lao Yutou took me to bury the before?
When did Zhao Yi dig this out? Some of them still have dirt on them.
When Yu Jianguo finished burning the paper money, Zhao Yi took the shovel and went up to start digging the grave.
"Daochang Zhao, what are you doing here?" Yu Jianguo stopped him and asked with a dark face.
Zhao Yi said: "Lao Yu asked me to take out the things in my grave and give them to Tuzi. ”
I frowned secretly, when did the relationship between Lao Yutou and Zhao Yi be so good?
This sentence calmed Yu Jianguo, and he said: "Be careful, this is the ancestor of our Yu family." ”
Zhao Yi nodded, saying that it would not be an offense to the ancestors of the Yu family, which made Yu Jianguo dodge, and he shook his arms and dug the grave.
I pouted, the graves were dug up, and I was not offended?
After he dug up the grave and saw the contents clearly, Yu Jianguo and I were both surprised, this tomb was not a coffin, but a piece of wood as thick as three people.
Zhao Yi jumped into the grave, groped around the wood for a long time, and lifted it up along the crack of the wood, the wood had already been split, and it was pulled out into the shape of a canoe, and there were several ceramic jars.
"Uncle, what's this?" I asked, puzzled.
His eyes lit up and he was particularly excited, explaining, "This is a ship burial. As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Jianguo, "I've only heard that there are burial ship coffins in the land of Bashu, but I really didn't expect to see them here." ”
Yu Jianguo didn't know why, so he followed his words and asked: "Daochang Zhao, the good coffin has become a ship coffin, has the coffin of our family's ancestors been replaced?" ”
He silently retracted his gaze and said, "It shouldn't be, maybe your ancestors have any special intentions or continue the custom of ship coffins." ”
He rummaged through it for a long time, and finally took out a small bottle stained with mud from the middle jar and said, "Found it." ”
He covered the wood with earth again, and let him go back.
I tentatively asked, "Uncle, what did my dad let you take?" ”
"I don't know, go back and see." He said.
When he got home, he carefully washed the porcelain vase, lifted the wax seal of the porcelain vase, and used tweezers to pinch out a ball of white paper.
He carefully unfolded the lump of paper, a white and thin piece of paper.
My eyes widened, and this piece of paper looked exactly the same as the one that Yu Xuemin had pasted on my face.
Zhao Yi held this piece of paper and stared at the lamp for a long time, and finally pulled a hole in my hand and dripped blood on it.
Beads of blood flowed down the paper onto the table, but they didn't seep in.
I was amazed.
Zhao Yi frowned and said, "Could it be that I found the wrong one?" ”
"Uncle, what are you looking for?" I asked him.
He folded the piece of paper, "It's nothing, your dad asked me to look for the bottle before he left, but he didn't tell me what was in it." ”
Speaking of this, he paused, smiled and said, "Tuzi, I'll take it for you first, and I'll give it to you when you grow up." ”
"Okay." I replied, since it was the old man who asked him to take out the graveyard, it must be very important, even if it was given to me, I don't know where to hide it.
"Uncle, I saw Zhao Shengcai when I was in the short bun, he was also fainted on the ground at that time, why didn't you see him when you picked me up from the Tongyin Stone later?" It occurred to me that I was reminded of this.
Zhao Yi's face sank, "Did you really see it?" ”
"Well, there was a black shadow coming out of his body at that time, and he was the one who injured Lao Yu's head first." I reminisced about the scene and said.
Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel that Yu Xuemin seems to be deliberately standing by, he just waited for Zhao Sheng to appear and hurt Lao Yu's head, and then pick up the leak himself.
Zhao Yi went back to the house and took his jujube wood sword, and said, "Let's go, let's go to Zhao Shengcai's house to have a look." ”
When the two of us went out, we happened to meet Dahu, and he was sweating all over his head, "Tuzi, where is my master?" ”
"He's out of the house." I bowed my head and said, a little weak-hearted, I didn't dare to look into the eyes of the big tiger.
Dahu was very anxious, but he didn't notice that something was wrong with me, so he grabbed Zhao Yi directly, "Uncle, my master is not here, you will be a little tired, do me a favor, Zhao Shengcai will see if it is going to happen." ”
I was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”
Dahu dragged Zhao Yi to Nianzigou and said, "I can't get up from the bed, people look very empty, and they don't dare to go out of the house, and the gods are chattering." ”
trotted to Zhao Shengcai's house, I stood at the door with my nose covered, I didn't want to go in, there was a fishy smell in the house.
Dahu explained embarrassedly: "He is like paralyzed on the bed, he can't move, he eats, drinks and Lazar is in the house, and he is not allowed to open the door and open the window." ”
Zhao Yi opened the curtains, and Zhao Shengcai hugged the quilt and screamed, desperately shrinking into the quilt.
Zhao Yi didn't care about him, walked around the room, and asked Dahu's mother: "Has he been out in the morning?" ”
The big tiger mother's eyes flickered, lowered her head, and said, "No." ”
I knew she was lying, "You're lying, I saw him in the morning." ”
"Mom, don't hide it, you see he's like this, and he won't be able to hold it if he keeps it hidden." Big Tiger said.
The big tiger mother said at this time: "I went to cook for him at nine o'clock in the morning, and when I finished the meal and returned to the house, he was gone, and I searched for several times outside the village and did not find it, and then he came back staggering back at almost eleven o'clock, and before lying on the bed, he specially told me not to let me go out." ”
Zhao Yi hummed, set up a stool in front of the window, and then jumped ** to get Zhao Shengcai from the quilt to the stool, and asked Dahu to find a rope to tie him.
I pointed to Zhao Shengcai's feet and let the big tiger see: "Look, I didn't lie to you, he has no shadow." ”
The big tiger and the big tiger mother were scared and their legs were weak.
"Uncle, where is Zhao Shengcai's shadow?" Dahu asked with a pale face.
Zhao Yi said: "This has to ask him himself, tie him here first, I'll prepare something, and then come over to summon his spirit." ”
Zhao Shengcai trembled all over, tears and snot flowed all over his face, and he screamed at the big tiger mother, with a hideous expression.
Zhao Yi hurriedly walked out, and I also followed, wanting to see what Zhao Yi was going to do.
I've always been curious about Zhao Shengcai, "Uncle, what's wrong with him?" ”
"His soul is gone." Zhao Yi said.
I suddenly remembered the dark shadow that came out of him, and hurriedly said, "Has his soul been lost in the house of the low bun?" ”
Zhao Yi shook his head, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly said, "You stay here and watch him, and I'll be back soon." ”
After he finished speaking, I couldn't catch up with him as soon as he trotted.
I had to go back to the yard.
The big tiger mother sat at the door, facing Zhao Shengcai's direction, her eyes were empty, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
I sat down next to the big tiger and asked him, "What's wrong with your mother?" ”
"I don't know." The big tiger asked me in a low voice, "Tuzi, where has Master gone?" He didn't tell me before he left. ”
My heart jumped, and I said perfunctorily: "I don't know, he said it's far away." ”
I was afraid that the big tiger would chase after me, so I ran into the house under the pretext of going to see Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Shengcai kept twitching, faintly rolling his eyes, and when he saw me coming in, he actually leaned back desperately, as if he wanted to distance himself from me, and finally fell directly to the ground with a stool.
He fell to the ground, his mouth opening and closing, muttering something, I leaned in and listened for a long time, and found that he was saying three words over and over again: ghost face.
"What do you know?" I asked him.
He rubbed back desperately, his mouth kept talking, and he didn't respond to my words.
"Tuzi, come out and help." Zhao Yi suddenly called me in the courtyard.
I'm a little confused, what did he do, and he came back so quickly.
By the time I ran to the yard, Dahu had already moved a table and placed it in the yard, and Zhao Yi put the plastic bag in his hand on the ground and pulled it out in the same way.
I looked at the five fruits he took out that were very familiar, and suddenly said, "Uncle, did you bring back the offerings in the short buns?" ”
"Recycling."
As he spoke, he had already set up the offerings, asked the big tiger mother to go to the stove to put out a bowl of firewood ashes, he lit a stick of incense and inserted it in the bowl, and carried Zhao Shengcai and the coffin to the table.
He asked Da Hu's mother to stand by the door with Zhao Shengcai's clothes, and Da Hu and I stood behind Zhao Chengcai and pressed his shoulders.
He stood straight in front of the table, holding a peachwood sword in his right hand, holding a piece of rune paper in his left hand, and suddenly twisted his waist and circled around Zhao Shengcai with broken steps, and sang sharply: "Zhao Shengcai's life soul is coming back soon, Zhao Shengcai's life soul is coming back soon......"
Dahu and I looked at each other, and both smiled and blushed.
He said more than a dozen times, lit the talisman paper in his hand, threw it at Zhao Shengcai's feet, and called Zhao Shengcai's name over and over again.
At the moment when the rune paper burned out, someone outside the courtyard sighed, and the next moment a gust of wind blew the clothes in the hands of the big tiger mother.
Zhao Yi hurriedly said, "Come back and put your clothes on him." ”
The big tiger mother ran over tremblingly and put her clothes on Zhao Shengcai's neck.
My scalp was numb, and I hid a few steps back, and when the big tiger mother ran over just now, there were two shadows at her feet!
Zhao Yi grabbed a handful of firewood ashes and hit Zhao Shengcai's face, and the incense on the table suddenly went out.
Zhao Shengcai screamed, his legs kicked desperately on the ground, I looked down, my scalp couldn't help tingling, his shadow actually came back.
"Come on, you clean up the table, and I'll send him to the house." Zhao Yi carried Zhao Shengcai into the house, and I hurriedly followed up.
After a while, Zhao Sheng opened his eyes and looked at the two of us blankly, "What's wrong with me?" ”
Zhao Yi said lightly: "I lost my soul, I finally picked up a life, and I will live well with the big tiger mother in the future." ”
I was surprised in my heart, I don't understand why Zhao Yi said this, Zhao Shengcai is not a soul at all.
Zhao Shengcai suddenly changed his face, shouted to the big tiger mother, and was angry at her, "Why do you let anyone in?" ”
The big tiger mother's eyes were red with grievances.
Zhao Yi looked at him expressionlessly and snorted coldly, "I'm so fucking nosy." ”
With that, he led me out the door.
"Uncle, what's wrong with Zhao Shengcai? Did he also want to take the contents of the buns? I whispered to him, "Tell me about it." ”
He sighed and said, "Tuzi, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it, if I didn't estimate that thing and wouldn't come back to Zhao Shengcai, I wouldn't care about it." ”
But it's even more torturous for him to say just one thing.
I was depressed.
When the two of us walked to the entrance of the village, the big tiger caught up with a slap mark on his face.
"Big Tiger, Zhao Shengcai fought? He's gone too far. "I immediately turned around and walked back, wanting to go to Zhao Sheng to settle the account, if it wasn't for the big tiger coming to Zhao Yi, he wouldn't have survived, how could he just beat someone.
The big tiger grabbed me and blocked the slap marks on his face, "No, it's not him, it's my mother, she complains that I came to you." ”
"Why is your mother like this?" I feel very sorry for the big tiger, and I feel aggrieved, if Zhao Shengcai beats someone, I can still go to him to settle accounts, but this big tiger's mother does it, I really don't have any position.
He smiled at me, "It's okay, let's go home first." ”
I nodded, carefully holding the big tiger, his ears were red, he glanced at me, and quickly looked away.
Zhao Yi muttered: "The big tiger was hit in the face, and his leg is fine." ”
I pretended not to hear and kept helping the tiger to my house.
After eating, I cleaned up, and just as I was about to lie down, someone knocked on my door, and when I opened the door, I saw that it was a big tiger.
He stood at the door, holding the peach wood sword used by Lao Yutou in his hand, with a red rope wrapped around his right hand, with a wooden face, and said, "Tuzi, I'm leaving." ”... Friends who read books, you can search for "", you can find this site as soon as possible.
