When I heard this, I thought to myself, "Is their weird expression exactly the same as the one I saw when I was a child?" ”

I was thinking about it in my heart, and I heard Grandma Zhang sigh again and say, "There has been no peace in the village in those years, today is not this house on fire, tomorrow someone in that family is sick, or injured." After Zhang Xiaobing died, the next year after that, he took Zhang Jun's other one with them at that time, and Zhang Shengli also died in Xinchang. ”

I hurriedly asked, "Zhang Shengli?" How did Zhang Shengli die. ”

"Zhang Shengli is a person who is idle all day long, stealing chickens and touching dogs, but fortunately gambling is very good, in addition to stealing chickens and touching dogs a day, he can't get off the table at other times, and even if he comes down, he will go home for a meal at most."

I heard others say that in the evening of that day, Zhang Shengli and his mother-in-law said that there would be a group of people at home in the evening. His mother-in-law knew what she was here for, and complained to Zhang Shengli and said, "Gambling and gambling all day and night, when have you ever won, can't you live in peace?" If you want to gamble, don't come to the house, gamble outside. Don't trouble me when the government comes to arrest you."

As soon as Zhang Shengli heard his mother-in-law's words, his heart was furious, but when he thought that what his mother-in-law said at the end was quite reasonable, he had an idea in his heart at that time. So he didn't bother with his mother-in-law, and said, "Eat your food, you can eat it yourself, I won't eat at night." With that, he turned and walked out

"Where are you going?" Zhang Shengli's mother-in-law asked.

"You don't care where I go." Zhang Shengli replied and turned to leave.

But who knew that he would leave forever.

At around nine o'clock that night, Zhang Shengli was waiting for his group of gamblers at the entrance of the village.

"These bastards, why haven't you come yet, did this group of turtle sons win me during the day, and dare not come at night for fear that I won." Zhang Shengli lit a cigarette and continued to wait at the entrance of the village

After about 20 minutes, three bicycles appeared on the road at the entrance of the village, and there was a person on the back seat of each bicycle, a total of six people arrived at the entrance of the village and got off the bicycle.

One of them asked, "Zhang Shengli, didn't you say I'm going to your house tonight, why are you waiting here?" Then he approached Zhang Shengli and shone it with a flashlight, and saw that the blood vessels on Zhang Shengli's face showed a purple-blue color under the bright light of the flashlight, so conspicuous, as if a tree had been painted on Zhang Shengli's face. With an indescribable weirdness, he asked, "Why are you so bad and sick?" ”

As soon as Zhang Shengli heard this, he said, "You are sick, did 'Mao Erqiu' win against me during the day, and you don't want to play at night." ”

When Mao Erqiu heard Zhang Shengli say this, he didn't like it in his heart. I thought to myself that his illness had nothing to do with me, and kindly reminded him that he was not happy, so whatever he was, I could win money.

"Zhang Shengli, where to play? Hurry up and lead the way, go! Mao Erqiu said

"We won't go to my house tonight, let's play in the new field of our village, I always feel as if something is happening tonight, playing in the field, in case something happens, it is convenient for us to escape!" Zhang Shengli replied

"Okay, it doesn't matter where you play."

The seven men came to the new field, found a stack of wheat straw, pulled a little wheat straw, and spread it on the ground. The bowl (dice) shook. It was until more than 11 o'clock in the evening and played for more than two hours.

For more than two hours, Zhang Shengli did not win. At this time, he had already lost his red face, and coupled with the purple and cyan blood vessel lines, he looked extremely hideous.

If I press it harder, I won't believe it, and I won't be able to open it once.

The moment the dice cup opened, Zhang Shengli's face turned green.

Zhang Shengli sat down on the ground at once, and the whole person looked very decadent and lost. In order to turn over the book, he brought out all the food stamps at home, and just now he pressed them all at once.

"It's so late, everyone should disperse, let's go back first, and you should go back early. Don't think about it, it's normal for us gamblers to win or lose, maybe you'll turn it over tomorrow. Mao Erqiu said to Zhang Shengli while getting up, and after getting up, he randomly pulled out a few of the bundle of food stamps in his hand and threw them to Zhang Shengli, and then several people left as soon as they rode their bicycles.

Zhang Shengli just leaned on the haystack, slumped there, his eyes looking straight at a certain corner of the new field, a pile of haystacks, and someone piled up the wheat straw there after the new well was filled.

In Zhang Shengli's eyes, a vague figure walked out from the middle of the pile of haystacks and slowly walked towards Zhang Shengli.

……

When Zhang Shengli was found the next day, his body had become cold. Leaning against the haystack like that, his eyes were full of whites, and everyone knew that he was looking at the haystack opposite him, the new well under the haystack to be exact.

The nostrils, ears, and mouth are stuffed with yellow mud. The whole face is an eerie purple and cyan color. With a smile! Next to him was a bowl of 'sour rice dough', and the chopsticks didn't move.

That day, the dogs in the village barked for a whole day, and did not stop until twelve o'clock in the evening.

From that day on, something had to happen in the village every day, and on the first day, when Zhang Yi and his grandfather went out to fetch water in the morning, they didn't pay attention when they went out, and they were mixed by the threshold and broke their arms and second.

The next day, the neighbor's Xiao Zhang's mother went out to mow the cow, and a good sickle cut off four fingers.

This situation has lasted for half a month, and the old people in the village have discussed that there is no way to continue like this. Someone suggested finding a Mr. Yin and Yang to show Yucun.

The next day, Mr. Yin and Yang came, walked around the village, and then came to Xinchang, and said, "This place is full of resentment, just let me see it for a while, I can't solve it, I want to sacrifice to the village!" Otherwise, your village will never stop! ”

"How do you sacrifice to the village?" An old man asked

"I said you should write it down, find two big chickens, and they should be crowing, and they will be very red. A black dog wants four white hooves, find a syringe, draw half a tube of blood from each of the four hooves of the black dog, mark the blood drawn from each hoof, remember, be sure to distinguish the front and back, left and right, and then kill the black dog and peel off the skin. In the long stone that one person is tall and one person can hold in from the river bend, I make Taishan stone. Buy some firecrackers, buy more, buy as much as you can, and the firecrackers will go off all night. Buy some red cloth and make clothes, it must be red, and make five sets. These things must be indispensable! After saying this, Mr. Yin Yang explained, "It's too late today, tomorrow the things must be prepared during the day, tomorrow night to sacrifice the village, and secretly get your Taishan Heiye on a sedan chair at night." After explaining, Mr. Yin Yang left.

The next day, the people in the village were busy, looking for roosters for roosters, killing dogs for dogs, and looking for stones for stones. Clothes made clothes.

It wasn't until six o'clock in the afternoon that Mr. Yin Yang came.

As soon as he came, he said, "All the women and children in the village are leaving now, and tonight, no matter how old or young, they will all go to the Taishan Black Master Temple to make up for the night." There must be no women in the village. ”

After listening to Mr. Yin and Yang, everyone in the village went home to settle the women at home, and the efficiency of the croppers was still good, and all the women and children in our village slept in the Heiye Temple all night that night.

After all the women and children have left, the festival begins

Mr. Yin Yang asked, "Is Taishan Heiye invited?"

"Please," someone replied,

"Find ten young lads,"

At this time, ten young people came out of the crowd.

"Eight people take turns to replace the black master, one person resists the flag of the black master, one person takes the firecracker, and then listens to the movement of the new field, as long as the firecrackers in the new field sound, one of you set off the firecrackers in front of the firecrackers, and the big flag behind the road, the black master lifted, starting from the entrance of the village, has been walking around the village. Remember! I don't say let you put it, Hei Ye's sedan chair must not fall to the ground. Mr. Yin and Yang arranged for these ten young men

After that, I asked again, "Have you all remembered, this is a big matter, don't take it lightly!" ”

"Got it," the ten guys replied firmly and seriously

Mr. Yin Yang saw the performance of these guys and was very satisfied to arrange other things......

"Remembered"
