Affliction from the mouth. This old bone of mine has experienced too many rights and wrongs, and has seen a lot of life and death. My eyes and brain are numb, my teeth are missing, my ears are deaf, and my vision is getting worse day by day. In the days to come, but your world is over. ”

Zhiqing looked at the kerosene lamp, Xia Laohan's face was full of wrinkles and hidden rings of years. He understands that it is a waste of time, so that they gradually grow old and decay, the more time passes, the more things they understand, and those unforgettable memories are the most rare precipitation in life.

"Brother, don't be so sentimental, life will only get better and better, you can live a good life when you are old, don't think about it."

"I have to think about it! The wife gave birth to a daughter, and left without a little nostalgia. This finally made her daughter look forward to it, and she married again. Marry and marry! just married to a useless character. Alas! ”

Zhiqing looked at Xia Laohan with a peaceful face, knowing that he was thinking about his daughter again, and hurriedly comforted: "It's better to be alive than anything else, the dead are gone, we still have to live our own lives!" Life is short for only a few decades, and it is not easy to come to the world. Dude! You've got to want to drive some. ”

"Alas! The girl is disobedient, why does she like this bastard who doesn't do her job. ”

Zhiqing didn't know about Old Man Xia's son-in-law, so when he heard the other party say this, he couldn't help but ask, "What does your son-in-law do?" He's from there? ”

"Wang Ermao, do you know each other? He is from Menling Village. When Xia Laohan mentioned his son-in-law, his small eyes showed a hint of anger, and even the tone of his speech became a little heavier.

Menling Village's? Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, it seemed that Xia Laohan was going to tell about the incident in Menling Village. At this time, he was like an enthusiastic listener, respectfully listening to the news that the host of the program was going to talk about next.

Xia Laohan's small eyes stared at the kerosene lamp that was turned on by Bào, and his eyes seemed to be shining. He pursed his lips and slowly told the story hidden in his heart.

Xia Laohan's daughter was left when she was born, and she was waiting to be fed. The poor one is so thin that he can pinch and hold her. The baby was so hungry that he cried all day long, so anxious that Xia Laohan barely jumped into the river in front of the door. Later, he stole some beans from outside, chewed them into a pulp, and put them into the mouth of a baby like a bird feeding.

Xia Laohan was a father and a mother again, and finally brought up his daughter. It's a pity that because of long-term malnutrition, my daughter was sick when she was young.

There is a bachelor in Menling Village, named Wang Ermao. Once I saw Xia Laohan's father and daughter in the market, this kid stared at Xia Laohan's daughter.

Wang Ermao's bottom is fine Xia Laohan doesn't know, anyway, he will send food to the Xia family every once in a while, and sometimes cut half a catty of pigs or something.

When you are hungry, you don't have the courage to refuse a good thing that comes to your door.

After coming and going, Xia Laohan's daughter had a good impression of Wang Ermao.

At that time, as long as there was food, it was better than anything, and Xia Laohan saw that Wang Ermao was generous, and he was also considerate to his daughter. is even more filial piety to him, so he acquiesced to this family business.

Wang Ermao cut a pork knuckle for Xia Laohan, not only replacing his only daughter, but also taking away his heart.

Later, Xia Laohan learned from others that this Wang Ermao was a laipi who didn't learn anything and did everything. The pigs ròu elbows in exchange for his daughters were all on credit, and he had to marry his daughters to earn centimeters to pay off the debts slowly.

Just before the bloody case in Menling Village, Wang Ermao came to Xia Laohan to find quicklime water.

For King Mao, Ermao will come to his father-in-law to find that thing? Wang Ermao told his father-in-law that he was looking for this thing to prevent insects on trees.

But later, Xia Laohan heard an old friend say that there was a cave cutter in Menling Village who picked up a child. He also said that the child's father died in lime water and fell into the reservoir and drowned.

This lime water was still difficult to find at that time, and it was Xia Laohan who worked as a temporary worker on the county construction site. I secretly took a piece home and prepared to use it to make some water when boiling corn jelly.

Working as a temporary worker on the construction site is only a few cents a day's wages, and you have to delay earning centimeters. Xia Laohan didn't think it was cost-effective, so he didn't go later. The lump of lime has been sitting there, and he wants to wait for his daughter to boil corn jelly when she comes home, and her daughter likes to eat corn jelly!

This cave slasher died of lime water, which made Xia Laohan very uneasy.

He picked up stacks and prepared to go and see, but before he could go, the plague broke out in Menling Village.

Saying goes; There is no impermeable wall, and some people say that the main culprit of the plague in Menling Village was that the dead cave cutter accidentally dug up an ancient tomb under the stratum while digging the tomb, and there was a coffin in the ancient tomb, and there was a female corpse in the coffin.

The cave slasher removed the female corpse in the coffin and found that there was a treasure on the female corpse, but as for what treasure, there was no way to know. The cave slasher is dead, and there is no proof of death, who to ask?

Chapter 055 Extra Incidents

Some people say that Wang Ermao knew about this, and after he used lime water to bewitch the eyes of the cave slasher, he went to his house and turned the cave slasher's home upside down. I don't know if I turned over the baby, anyway, Wang Ermao also died later.

The wind-like kerosene lights in the room reflected the flickering shadows of two puppets on the mottled earthen wall. It was the light of the kerosene lamp that scandalized the shadows of the two people, the fat one was Zhiqing, and the thin one was Xia Laohan.

Zhong Kui, who was outside the door, kicked open the door, stepped into the house, and glared at Xia Laohan angrily.

Zhong Kui stared at Old Man Xia with anger on his face. The latter has an unexpectedly good psychological quality, and is surprisingly calm when stared at angrily.

Xia Laohan glanced at Zhong Kui at the door indifferently with a pair of old eyes under the kerosene lamp. Like an old cow, he slowly moved his gaze and smiled at the blooming lights of the kerosene lamp. And said loudly: "Bào lantern flowers, there are guests." ”

Chen Zhiqing couldn't understand why Xia Laohan was so happy when he saw the kerosene lamp bào lantern. He didn't understand and didn't talk to him, he just spoke out to stop Zhong Kui's reckless behavior, and got up and grabbed him and sent him to the door, intending to let the kid continue to watch outside. So that Xia Laohan could continue, desperately hoping to hear what was going on from his mouth.

But at this moment, Xia Laohan looked away from the kerosene lamp, stared at Zhong Kui and said, "It's okay to let him listen." There's my old buddy outside, and he's as old as me, but he's still very sensitive to his ears. ”

The old guy in Xia Laohan's mouth is the black dog that has accompanied him for most of his life.

Zhong Kui also learned how powerful the dog was, and said that it was vigilant and ferocious, and it was naturally not a false appearance.

Xia Laohan said this, Zhiqing is not good at pushing Zhong Kui out, and he is a little unbearable. It's not that he deliberately scolded him for fear of reckless trouble, but the purpose was just to get him to avoid it.

Under Zhiqing's suggestion, Zhong Kui closed the door first, and then sat down next to him with great reluctance.

After Zhong Kui's mood stabilized, Zhiqing suddenly asked, "Brother, what do you think of Zhong Hansheng?" ”

Hearing Zhiqing say Zhong Hansheng's name, Xia Laohan's eyelids blinked vigorously a few times under the kerosene lamp, and then his eyes flashed with a touch of crystal. Zhiqing knew that as soon as his eyes lit up, the story was about to start again......

After a short break, Xia Laohan's thinking became clearer and clearer, and he talked slowly, telling the story of moldy hair in his heart.

Xia Laohan's memory is pulled back to more than ten years later, Zhong Hansheng is a down-to-earth and clever person, and his brain is not ordinary and flexible. Whenever there is any activity in the village, he is the fastest.

Due to Zhong Hansheng's various good performances, he was soon promoted to accountant by the village. Later, he became a militia company commander, and later he was promoted to the county town as the head of the armed forces.

At that time, a group of young intellectuals, men and women, came to the village, and they were arranged to carry out labor education in farmhouse huts one by one. Zhong Hansheng is very enthusiastic about this group of educated youth, especially taking care of a female baby.

At that time, Zhong Hansheng was very popular, and those educated youths respected him even more.

Xia Laohan told this, stopped for a few seconds, and then sighed: "This person! Originally, it was good, but the world tossed people into taste. But if you want to live well, you have to be like Zhong Hansheng, who is comprehensive and goes with the flow in order to live in peace. ”

Zhiqing sneered: "That's, that's ......"

Zhong Kui next to him scoffed at Xia Laohan's words, and his previous good impression of Lao Han seemed to be transformed into anger at this moment. In the accumulation of hair in the heart, it is good to wait for the opportunity to send out.

Xia Laohan ignored Zhong Kui's emotionality, he smacked his old nose and eyes, opened his leaky mouth and continued......

There is a dilapidated temple in the village that has been in disrepair for a long time, and this dilapidated temple was not a broken temple before, but a good temple where incense was flourishing and crowds of people were surging. The world is like the weather, it changes when it is said. There is an activity on it, what is clear, clear and clear, clear cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and it is strictly forbidden to believe in ghosts and gods. The first thing to suffer was the broken temple, and the mud bodhisattvas in the broken temple all suffered, smashed and smashed, and pushed to the ground. Half a moon down, a good temple turned into a ruined temple.

smashed and smashed, there are still people who quietly go to the temple to place their thoughts and expectations.

Xia Laohan is also one of them, he repeatedly thinks of his wife, so he quietly goes to worship the statue of Zhong Kui in the broken cat.

That day, he had just entered the ruined temple to worship the mud bodhisattva, when he heard footsteps and weeping from outside the ruined temple. Hearing that someone was coming, Xia Laohan was nervous and scared. He had to find a place to hide quickly, or he would be standing on a high platform the next day, wearing a pointed hat and being spurned by others.

The mud bodhisattva who was worshiped by the world covered Xia Laohan's trembling body, but he couldn't block his ears.

Xia Laohan heard a pair of men and women coming in, the woman was crying, and the man was whispering something. Then I heard the sound of my clothes tearing, and the sobbing of the female voice was even more hidden.

Xia Laohan didn't dare to look at it, and he didn't dare to make a sound. Just squatted quietly behind the mud bodhisattva and listened to the whole process.

Zhong Kui and Zhiqing, who listened to the story, asked at the same time, "Who is the man?" ”

"I don't know, when there was no movement outside, I came out and didn't see anyone. All gone, alas! What a wickedness! ”

The three people in the room fell into a brief silence again, except for the tireless dancing and strange lights of the kerosene lamps, which kept changing their figures.

Xia Laohan was trying his best to think about whether there was any omission in what he had just said, and by the way, he remembered his wife and daughter.

Zhiqing fell into deep thought, thinking about the details of the old man's story, and analyzing the highlights one by one.

Zhong Kui was secretly comparing the story told by Xia Laohan and following what the woman he saw in the hospital said to him. Why are the stories of the two of them so similar? Infant! Bastard man, educated youth...... What does it matter to them to themselves?

Xia Laohan coughed dryly, as if he was addicted to smoking. A tear rolled down from the corner of his eye as he coughed.

Zhiqing was getting up to help him with the cigarette pouch, and suddenly there was a black dog barking frantically outside.

"Rest! There are distant guests outside, and the pot is covered with rice. Xia Laohan didn't know if he said it to Zhiqing in the house or to Zhong Kui, anyway, neither of them understood what Xia Laohan meant when he said this.

The strange thing is that when Xia Laohan said this, the sound of the black dog barking outside gradually faded away. It was as if he was out of the courtyard dam gate, and ran to the river to bark as if he was chasing something.

Zhong Kui wanted to go out and have a look, but was blocked by Xia Laohan.

Xia Laohan said to rest, then rest!

Later, Zhong Kui realized that this sentence was originally said to the thief baby. 'Far away, it's a joking name for the thief's baby, there is food in the pot, that is, there are people in the family, you are bold, dare to come? This is actually a kind of joke for those who don't learn and don't know how to eat and be lazy, and do the most despised line in the three hundred and sixty lines. The previous sentence should be a warning to this line of banter!

The three of them had nothing to say when they had something to rest on their minds, but the next day something big happened.

It's amazing

Chapter 056: Confusing Dreams

Zhiqing was not the only one who couldn't sleep this night.

Zhiqing and Zhong Kui lived in the same room, which was where Liu Wengen slept before.

Because of the fatigue of the day, Zhong Kui, who had long been tired, entered the house and lay on the kang and fell asleep into the dreamland meeting Zhou Gong.

Zhiqing was entangled because of the story that Xia Laohan told before.

Listening to Xia Laohan say that Zhong Hansheng doesn't seem to have any problems, so what is the problem? Were the three bloodbaths in the woods man-made? Or is there something else? Looking at the condition of the three deceased, it is very similar to several bloody cases in Menling Village a few years ago. Is there really a 'ghost' sucking blood? Sucking the brain marrow?

Thinking of a living person, sucked dry of blood and brain marrow, Zhiqing coldly fought a few cold wars one after another.

Zhiqing in the dark night, listening to Zhong Kui's sleeping snoring, listening to the chirping of insects at night outside the window. I don't know why, he felt a little frizzy and restless in his heart.

Zhiqing knew that this feeling was very bad, and it was a precursor to something to happen. With his previous habits and feelings, every time he has this kind of frizziness in his heart, something big must happen.

What will happen? Zhiqing couldn't understand the limitations of this sense of uneasiness in his mind.

Zhiqing changed his posture, turned over and continued to think; Who are the man and woman in the ruined temple? Is it a man and woman who are cheating on them temporarily, or is there something else hidden? Why did Zhong Hansheng avoid talking about the Menling Village incident, but the discussions he heard in Donghua Village were inextricably linked to him, how can this be explained? There is also the female corpse in the ancient tomb, is it true or false? Why didn't you hear Zhong Kui talk about it?

According to Zhiqing's speculation, when Zhong Mingfa, the cave slasher, discovered the ancient tomb, Zhong Kui should also be sensible. It is impossible for him not to tell his son, and there is the theft of Zhong Mingfa's house, what is Wang Ermao looking for? Is there really a treasure? Or is it something else?

If you think too much, your thinking will be confused, and when you are confused, your brain will be confused. The brain is like a cache program, too many questions clog the thinking nerves, the more you think about it, the more confused you become, and the more confused you are, the more confused you want to sleep......

All the sounds are silent, the river is running endlessly under the rope bridge, the distant mountains are shrouded in night fog and are shrouded in sleep, Zhiqing fell asleep, but Zhong Kui woke up inexplicably.

Just now Zhong Kui had a strange dream, in the dream he saw a dark shadow, like wood, standing in front of Xia Laohan's door.

Zhong Kui stepped forward and without saying a word, he took out the short-handled scabbard pinned to his waist and stabbed at the shadow.

The Shadow screamed, sadly...... Zhong Kui suddenly felt nervous, and he looked at the shadow in the thorn through the faint light of the night. found that it was Xia Laohan who was stabbed, this surprise was not trivial, and he immediately kicked his legs and woke up.

There are times when the night insects stop, and when Zhong Kui wakes up, he feels that the house is surprisingly quiet inside and outside.

How could Zhong Kui assassinate Xia Laohan! Although before going to bed, Xia Laohan told that he gave his son-in-law lime water and blinded his father's eyes, but he can't be blamed! So what's going on with the dream just now? How could you have such strange dreams?

Zhong Kui felt that the reason why he woke up was because he saw Xia Laohan getting up in the middle of the night to fetch water in the middle of the night, and he unconsciously developed the habit of waking up on time at this moment.

Now that you're awake, you should hear something! Zhong Kui remembered that when they lived in Xia's house, he had not stopped sleepwalking in the middle of the night to get up to fetch water, and tonight must be no exception.

Old man Xia popped up in his mind, and Zhong Kui immediately remembered the stories he told before going to bed.

On the surface, Zhong Kui doesn't seem to have anything to do with these stories. But if you think about it deeply, you will find that these stories are related to him.
