Chapter 28: Strange Things in the Village
Qianjin Village is a village at the foot of Baektu Mountain, the village is not small, about a few hundred households, scattered at the foot of the mountain.
Today is the day of the funeral of the daughter-in-law of the old Wei family in the west of the village, speaking of which the old Wei is also pitiful, the wife left early, and a person pulled his son up with a handful of and urine. Although the son does not have any great skills, he is honest and willing to work, and a few years ago, he married a daughter-in-law from a neighboring village.
It stands to reason that this good day is coming, but unfortunately the old man's son went into the mountains to hunt in the winter in order to increase some nutrition for his pregnant daughter-in-law, but he didn't want to encounter wolves.
The son's daughter-in-law had a big belly, crying like a tearful person all day long, and when the son's first seven days passed, something strange happened again, the old man's daughter-in-law went crazy and talked to the air all day long, as if there was an invisible person living with her.
Although the old man couldn't see it, he knew it very well in his heart, it must be his son who didn't worry about his daughter-in-law and the child in his belly, so he secretly ran back.
The old man thought that the yin soul hurt people's yang energy, and his daughter-in-law was pregnant and had more contact with the yin spirit, but he was afraid that it would not be good for his grandson, so he ran dozens of miles of mountains and invited a Taoist priest to his home to do it.
This Taoist priest also has some methods, and the daughter-in-law was normal for a while after the exorcism, but after a while, the daughter-in-law became silent and hid in the room all day. I'm also afraid to meet people.
A few days ago, the old man went out to work in the field, and when he came back at noon, he found that something was wrong, and there was a strong smell of blood coming from the house.
The old man rushed into the room, only to feel a chill all over his body. The daughter-in-law committed suicide by slitting her wrists, and the bed was covered with pools of blood, staining the sheets red.
The old man saw that his daughter-in-law's bulging abdomen actually rose and fell slightly, and hurriedly went to the village to call the midwife, but unfortunately it was a step too late, and when the midwife came out with a baby boy in shape, the old man only felt top-heavy, so he fainted.
This front foot only lost his son, and this lost his daughter-in-law and grandson, the blow to Lao Wei can be imagined, the original lively family left Lao Wei Tou an old man, the people in the village also feel pitiful, and they all help, those who have money to make some money, and those who have no money to make some efforts. Zhang Luo also did the funeral hastily.
There was no funeral music of beating gongs and drums, so a few firecrackers were set off and some yellow paper was sprinkled. Several men from the village carried the coffin into the ancestral cemetery.
According to the customs of the village, children who die early are not allowed to enter the ancestral cemetery, so Lao Wei Tou put the body of his little grandson in a wooden box and buried it in the back mountain. And the daughter-in-law's grave is next to the son's grave. Looking at the two bulging tombs, there were no tears left in the old man's cloudy eyes.
It stands to reason that it is safe to be buried in the ground, but since the funeral was completed, strange things have continued in the village. In the middle of the night, I always heard the cry of a baby, and the livestock in the family always died inexplicably. The wound is not visible.
So the brave men in the village discussed the vigil, and Sun Er Fat was in charge of the area at the east end of the village.
The moonlight quietly hid behind the clouds, there was originally a trace of moonlight in the night, and it was dark in an instant, Sun Er's fat man had a cigarette in his mouth, a stick thick with a rolling pin in one hand, and a flashlight in the other, and the beam of the flashlight kept changing directions in the dark night, which was particularly conspicuous.
"Damn, if I want to catch this mischievous guy, I have to peel him off." Sun Er's fat man still put the cigarette butt on the ground, and stepped on his toes fiercely, as if the person who stepped on the soles of his feet was the person who screamed at night.
How good it is to sleep at home with your wife at home at night, and you can also do sports by the way. As soon as he thought of this second fat man, he felt itching, and reached out and grabbed two handfuls of his crotch.
Walking, walking Sun Erfat realized that something was wrong, this night was too quiet, right? The night insects and birds in the mountains have never been so quiet.
"Whew...... Whew......"
A cool breeze blew from behind Sun Erpang, only making Sun Erpang's hairs stand on end, as if someone was blowing towards his neck. It's just that this breath is not warm, but cool with a wet feeling.
Sun Erpang turned around suddenly, took a flashlight and shone it around, and shouted, "Who? Who? Give Lao Tzu a ....."
It seems that the louder he shouts, the more courage he has. It was only the endless night that responded to him.
"Brother Cheng?"
"Cui Mei's?"
Sun Erpang shouted into the distance, it stands to reason that the village is not big, but it is not small. But in such a quiet night, according to the big voice of Sun Er's fat man, the whole village could hear it.
At this moment, there was not even the slightest echo, a deathly silence.
Sun Er's fat man swallowed and spit, his heart was pounding, as if he was about to jump out of his throat in the next second.
"Hee-hee...... Hee-hee......."
There was a child's laughter, almost in Sun Erfat's ears, Sun Erfat's voice screamed, and rushed away into the dark night.
Sun Erpang exerted his strength to eat, ran fast with his eyes closed, and muttered in his mouth: Amitabha, God bless, God bless.
It's just that this laughter has been ringing in Sun Erfat's ears as if it has grown wings.
I don't know how long I ran, Sun Er's fat man couldn't run anymore, he bent over and gasped for breath, and when he opened his eyes, he was shocked to find a cigarette butt on the ground.
Sun Erfat's whole person was like being poured with a bucket of ice water, and he muttered in his mouth: Impossible, impossible.......
Then he sat on the ground, and the real person kept moving back, as if he wanted to find a place to lean on, so that he could feel at ease.
"Uh-huh....... Uh-huh......."
The baby's laughter was replaced by a cry, the voice was shrill and loud, as if it was about to pierce Sun Erfat's eardrum and hit the heart. Sun Erpang covered his ears and shouted: I don't listen, I can't hear......
But the baby's cry was getting closer, closer and closer......
Suddenly, the sound stopped abruptly, and the world seemed to be calm again. Sun Er's fat man slowly opened his eyes. It's just that the scene in front of him made Sun Erpang immortal and couldn't forget it, Sun Erpang screamed, and fainted with a tilt of his head.
About fifty centimeters away from Sun Erfat's eyes, there was a baby suspended in the air, wet with bloodstains, and a long umbilical cord was dragged from the place where his belly squeezed his eyes. The baby's eyes were a miserable white color, with only the whites of the eyes and no eyeballs. The open mouth has fine teeth.
Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, the same is true for going down the mountain. It was midnight when I walked from the top of the mountain to the village below.
When I entered the village, I saw from a distance that the door of a house was open, and an orange light shone in a small area in front of the door.
I was also secretly glad that I was lucky enough to meet someone who didn't rest in the middle of the night. As I was about to walk that way, the Buddha palm on my shoulder squeaked, and then jumped off my shoulder and ran towards the east end of the village.
I secretly said that it is not good, the Buddha's palm is the most sensitive to evil things, and I am afraid that something will happen in the east of the village. I hurriedly followed behind the Buddha and ran to the east.
