Chapter Forty-Eight: The Dirty Old Man
Seeing that Qian Zhonghai was so excited and said such things again, I hurriedly beckoned to him and said, "Brother, don't be excited, calm down!" Calm down! I have no malice, something happened to me in reality, according to Sister-in-law's meaning, I need these five copper coins to save the emergency. ”
"Sister-in-law? I'll just say it! That woman is not a good thing, she was evil in the past, and a few years ago she yelled to destroy the Yin House, and as a result, the whole village was driven away. Later, I went to the East Express Road where Uncle Li lived, and said that Uncle Li was not a good person, for the sake of the people in Xiyaokou, I wanted to look at her, this head is pure Nima is not normal! It is estimated that she knows the importance of this copper coin to the people of our West Kiln, this time it is fake to let you take the copper money to save your life, and it is true that everyone in our West Kiln Mouth will let you come to Huohuo as a gun! ”
"Can't you? I said brother, I don't care about that sister-in-law's grievances with you, what I want to know now is... Why is this copper coin so important? Why did you give it to me, and you could be eaten by everyone in the West Kiln? I asked, for some reason.
Sighing, throwing away the slate in his hand, Qian Zhonghai said: "Let me tell you this, these five copper coins are the treasures of the forty-five old ghosts in the Yin Mansion!" Without these five copper coins, we will continue to have evil things in the West Kiln, and another catastrophe will come! ”
"Forty-five old ghosts? What are you talking about... What do you mean? "Qian Zhonghai's words made me have a lot of brains.
"What do you mean? Nothing interesting? Anyway, don't count on copper coins, where to go back and forth, in case you do something excessive, annoy the people of Xiyaokou, and be beaten to death, don't blame me for not reminding you! ”
"Don't! Brother, if you help me find the copper coin, I will triple the money I give you and give you three thousand! Three thousand is okay, right? ”
"If you give me 330,000,000, I can't do this! Among the forty-five ghosts who were guarded by copper money, there was the ghost in my family, I don't want to make trouble with you for some money, and then harm the people in the whole West Kiln! ”
After saying this to me, Qian Zhonghai turned his head and strode away.
Seeing Qian Zhonghai leave like this, I sat on the stone beside me with a confused expression, and then lit a cigarette depressedly.
Looking at this form, according to Qian Zhonghai's words, it seems that it is useless to get these five copper coins. But then again, what exactly do the forty-five ghosts in Qianzhonghaikou mean? What is the ghost of his family?
Just when I didn't know what was going on, a hunched thin old man stretched his neck and came to my eyes, and a pair of evil little eyes looked at me for a moment before saying to me: "Little guy, can I smoke the whole cigarette for you?" ”
When he asked me for a cigarette, I took a closer look at him.
I found the old man dressed in a bury manner, with tattered clothes, a chicken nest on his head, and a bowl with a few coins in it, which looked like a begging outfit.
Seeing that he was pitiful, I gave him the half of the pack of cigarettes that was left in my hand, and at last took two coins out of my pocket and threw them at him.
Seeing me do this, the dirty old man said that I was a good person, and then he hurriedly lit a cigarette and smoked it beautifully.
After smoking a cigarette in three or two sips, the dirty old man unceremoniously took the remaining half of the box of cigarettes into his arms, then looked around, wiped his nose with his hand, and then said to me shyly: "What? I just heard you say to that little cub in Qian Zhonghai, do you want the five copper coins unearthed at the mouth of the West Kiln that year? ”
"Huh? You know? The dirty old man's words immediately intrigued me.
"Of course I know, I am also from the West Kiln, and the five copper coins are placed in a yin house in the col. I can see clearly how the copper coin was put back then! ”
"Really? Can you take me, uncle? "I was a little thrilled by what he said.
"Hey, hey! It's not a simple place, I can take you there, and I can help you find out the copper coin, but you have to give me ......" As he spoke, the dirty old man twisted his fingers and smiled evilly, which was obviously the rhythm of asking for money.
"How much do you want?"
I released this directly, and the dirty old man's eyes lit up and said: "You see that I have no wife and no children, every day, it is indeed not easy to go to the city to beg for two dollars, didn't you just say that you would give Qian Zhonghai 3,000 yuan?" I don't want more, you give me three thousand, and I can do this for you clearly! ”
"Really? If you can handle it, money is not an issue! "After all, this copper coin may really save my life, and I will also give up these two coins.
"Nacheng, you follow me, I'll take you now. Let's try not to be discovered by the people at the West Kiln Mouth, and we can't do it if we find out! ”
In this way, led by the dirty old man, I followed him to the hill east of the West Kiln.
On the way, this dirty old man actually broke a shocking big secret to me!
The dirty old man said that the forty-five old ghosts in Qianzhonghai actually refer to the forty-five people who dug up the grave and died directly or indirectly! And the ghost of his family in Qian Zhonghai refers to his father Qian Donkey.
The dirty old man also said that the Yin Mansion was proposed by Li Shichang. When the Yin Mansion was not built and these people who died due to digging graves and making evil spirits had not been placed in the Yin House, the West Kiln Mouth was not peaceful for a day. It was because of listening to Li Shichang's suggestion that the Yin Mansion was built, and all the evil corpses were moved to the Yin House, and the West Kiln was too peaceful. So for so many years, the people of Xiyaokou have treated Li Shichang as a saint!
Those five copper coins were also arranged by Li Shichang in the five places in the Yin Mansion. He also said that no one could touch the five copper coins, otherwise there would be chaos in the west kiln, and the people in the village would never have peace. Moreover, Li Shichang also warned the people not to tell outsiders about the West Kiln Mouth back then, saying that it was taboo, so it would lead me to ask others about digging the tomb back then, and others would have such a big reaction!
And the next sentence of the dirty old man made me even more dumbfounded.
"Boy, let me tell you, after the completion of this Yin Mansion back then, a total of forty-three people died because of digging graves and making evil spirits (Qian Donkey and another person died later, and it was thought that they were indirectly related to the digging of the tomb, and later the bodies of the two people were placed in the Yin Mansion without exception. So forty-three corpses were placed in the mansion that year. I remember that it seemed to be the first day of the eighth month, at eight o'clock in the evening, and the sky was starless and the moon was cold and windy. The corpse is placed, incense is burned, and the person is gone, and the matter here is over. But when this is over, guess what's going on? ”
"What?"
"At ten o'clock in the evening of the same day, the parking lot behind the city hospital that had just opened for a short time suddenly had a tragic accident, which directly caused several deaths!"
