"What's so good-looking, she's fine." My grandfather didn't understand what my grandmother was doing and wouldn't go.

My grandmother pulled down the corner of my grandfather's clothes again, and whispered to my grandfather: "Didn't you notice it last night, this Hu family girl is wearing a pair of men's shoes, and the shoe prints next to Zhenshi that day are also a pair of men's shoe prints, let's go over and have a look." ”

"What did you look at?" My grandfather asked reluctantly.

"Let's see if she's still wearing a pair of men's shoes today." My grandmother said.

"Why are you so bored, what kind of shoes do you care about other people's clothes?"

My grandmother looked at my grandfather and winked, "Don't you want to know why she's wearing men's shoes?" What if you wear men's shoes? ”

When my grandmother said this, it seemed to arouse my grandfather's curiosity, and my grandfather liked to join in the fun and watch rare children, and his grandfather's eyes immediately lit up, "That's what you said, let's go over and see for a long time." ”

Saying that, my grandfather was about to step towards the Hu family, and my grandmother hurriedly pulled the corner of his clothes again, "It's not okay to go over like this, don't alarm her, go around quietly......"

"Okay." My grandfather smiled.

Then the two men walked out of the crowd quietly, and at this time the attention of the crowd was on the mason who built the small temple, and no one cared about them.

The two of them got out of the crowd, made a big circle from the side of the crowd, and went around two or three meters behind Hu's diagonally. After making sure that they were not noticed by Hu, the two of them lowered their eyes, and at the same time looked at Hu's feet, and then, the two of them looked at each other, as if they had discovered a new world, because Hu was still wearing a pair of men's shoes on his feet today, Nadier's black cloth shoes, and they were obviously worn on Hu's feet, which looked awkward and eye-catching. The two of them suddenly felt strange and rare.

At this moment, my grandfather seemed to think of something, and pulled my grandmother and motioned for my grandmother to talk to him elsewhere.

The two of them walked away from the small temple and came to an open grass on the east side of the crowd, and after making sure that they would not be heard by others, my grandfather said to my grandmother: "Do you remember what the village chief said when he stood at her door last night after we sent the Hu family to her door?" ”

"Of course I remember, what's wrong?" My grandmother didn't know what my grandfather wanted to say and looked at my grandfather suspiciously. My grandfather continued, "I remember...... The village chief finally said that the two of them were very strange, I saw that you were sweating on your head at that time, and the village chief was still talking there, so I didn't ask him to continue, I am thinking about it now...... What the village chief wanted to say at the time was that Hu was wearing men's shoes? Look at our village, no matter how poor the family is, whose women wear men's shoes. ”

My grandmother heard my grandfather say this, and nodded, "I heard my father say that women wearing men's clothes and shoes can temporarily increase their yang energy. ”

My grandfather took the opportunity to say: "Then this Hu Shi wears men's shoes to increase yang energy, maybe she knows that she is possessed by a headless ghost before she wears men's shoes." ”

My grandma shook her head, "I don't look like ......"

"Why is that?" My grandfather asked.

My grandmother shook her head again, "I don't know, it feels weird." ”

The two of them were silent for a while, and my grandfather looked back at the small temple, where the two masons were busy working with their hands and feet, and the small temple had already built more than half of them. Next to the two masons, the village chief was directing several women and mud to move rocks and provide supplies to the two masons, and the group of people seemed to be very busy.

My grandfather looked at me twice and said to my grandmother, "Otherwise, I'll go and ask the village chief to finish what he didn't finish yesterday." As he spoke, he picked up his crutches and walked in the direction of Xiaomiao'er, and my grandmother didn't stop him, just standing there and looking at my grandfather.

My grandfather quickly walked up to Xiao Miao'er, pulled the village chief aside, and the two of them exchanged heads and muttered to each other, squinting at the Hu clan at the back of the crowd. My grandmother wanted to laugh when she saw the two of them at this time, and she was like two chicken thieves.

The two of them muttered for a while, and my grandfather limped back on crutches. When I came to my grandmother, my grandfather whispered to my grandmother: "The village chief said yesterday that Hu Lin and the two of them are strange, and they are talking about their shoes, not only this Hu family wears men's shoes, but her man Hu Lin also wears women's embroidered shoes, and the husband and wife change their shoes to wear, don't you say strange?" ”

My grandmother asked, "Didn't you ask the village chief why the two of them had to change their shoes?" ”

"Asked, how can you not ask, the village chief said, he doesn't know, the good people in the village with the two of them, many people have asked, but the two of them don't say anything, sometimes ask too much, the two turn around and leave."

My grandmother held her chin with one hand, thought about it, and said, "This is really strange...... at this time, and the curiosity at this time aroused my grandma's excitement and *......

When it was almost dark, the small temple was built. During this period, when the small temple was about to be completed, my grandmother ran home and brought a large pot of tea, beckoning the village chief to drink tea and rest for a while.

Taking advantage of the fact that a few people were squatting next to the small temple to drink tea and rest, my grandmother and my grandfather approached the small temple, and under the cover of my grandfather, my grandmother took out the bullet that had been smeared with "filthy yin blood" from her body, and unknowingly, pressed into the north wall of the small temple.

The headless ghost hadn't appeared since the handjob was found by my grandmother, and then my grandmother smeared it with "filthy blood", and then it was pressed into the mud wall, and it couldn't have come up with it now.

The place where the bullet is pressed into is the position where the tablet is about to be erected. In the past, we used wheat straw mixed with yellow mud, and if possible, some lime was mixed in, and the bullets were pressed into the mud wall, which was equivalent to being buried in the soil.

In the evening, while having dinner, the gong sounded again in the village. Knocking on the gong while knocking, the mouth is also shouting, the general meaning of the shouting is that the bluestone Taoist people of Huanghuadong have set up a small temple in the northeast of the village, who has a strange illness at home, after dinner, the family will take the burning paper and incense to worship it, and after the worship, the patient will be fine tomorrow.

With such a shout, the women, children and old people of the whole village flocked to the small temple as if they were rushing to a big gathering, and every household carried a burning paper incense, and finally the village chief took the leader, and a large group of people burned incense to worship in the small temple.

At this time, Xinyangzi had already sent my grandfather back to Huanghuadong in a carriage. My grandfather's family stood next to the small temple and looked at these villagers, although the headless evil ghosts were subdued, but the grievances that disturbed the villagers were not completely eliminated, the so-called thief captured the king first, and the "king" was captured, but these soldiers without the "king" are not easy to deal with, and it is not a matter to always take the town stone to town them outside the village. My grandmother discussed with my grandfather, and after the villagers finished worshipping, they would put some effort into the pit where the corpses were buried

The small temple is very good, decent, but there is one thing that these villagers cannot accept, that is, the tablet enshrined in the small temple, the tablet actually reads: "The position of the headless general of the national government army".

The government army also robbed the people of the village of food before, and no one can worship them!

After a few villagers who knew how to read the tablets clearly, they were not happy, and encouraged all the villagers to ask the village chief Xingshi to ask for guilt. He said, why do we want to kowtow to him? Others said, do you still want them to come to the village again to grab food?

The village chief was forced to be speechless by a group of people.

In the end, my grandfather helped the village chief to relieve the siege, and my grandfather said to the villagers, this headless general is not an ordinary person, he is a good general, the disease caused by the men in the village, if it were not for the protection of this headless general, the people would have died long ago, and now the headless general only needs to receive your incense, and the men in Ming'er Village will be cured. Xinyangzi Daoren, the apprentice of the Qingshi Daoist, also said, this headless general was sent by Huanghua Daxian to protect the village, if anyone doesn't burn incense, the man in the family will get sick, if you don't believe it, then you can try......

My grandfather said something, and none of the villagers who bluffed dared to say anything, so they only had to burn incense and kowtow to the small temple.

When worshipping the headless general, my grandmother saw that Hu was also in the crowd, Hu was holding three incense sticks in his hand, kneeling on the ground reverently, kowtowing to the small temple, and his mouth seemed to be still muttering. My grandmother suddenly became curious, felt into the crowd, walked behind Hu lightly, squatted down and pricked up her ears to listen carefully...... I see.

Hu Shi looked at Xiao Miao'er at this time, what was he muttering, one was to say, begging the general to bless his man Hu Lin to recover tomorrow; The second is that he hopes that the general will give them a child for the sake of such piety as a husband and wife.

My grandmother sighed in her heart when she heard this, and felt that the Hu family also had the same helplessness as her own family, and there were no children. But why did the couple change their shoes?

At this time, my grandmother remembered my grandfather, who was well-informed, so it was better to ask, maybe he could know.

My grandmother stood up from Hu's side and ran to ask my grandfather. I don't think so, my grandfather really knows a little bit. My grandfather told my grandmother that in this village along the coast, if the couple in the village could not have children, they would exchange shoes to wear, and if they wore them for three years, they would be able to give birth to a big fat boy. The locals all know this method, and when they see the couple changing their shoes, they are very conscious, and no one asks. I heard that this method is quite effective in the local area, but the method of raising one side of the water and soil and one side of the people, and the method along the coast is not necessarily easy to use here in our Central Plains.

Hearing my grandfather say this, my grandmother suddenly brightened, and then her eyes rolled and an idea popped up.

At this time, the villagers who worshiped the small temple dispersed in twos and threes. However, my grandfather, my grandmother, and my grandfather did not leave, and when there was no longer half a figure around the small temple, the three of them got busy......
