Chapter 193: The Strange Hand in the Courtyard
Although this Chen blind man is a blind man, his legs and feet are not slow, and although my grandfather is a lame, his legs and feet are not slow. Led by the blind man Chen, the two of them walked in front, and no one was talking or laughing.
My grandmother and Xin Yangzi followed behind, and no one spoke, but my grandmother frowned as she walked, looked at the two in front of her, and after a few words, she was familiar with old friends who hadn't seen her for many years, what is this called, is it the same smell? Simply Chen Blind is a man, if it were a woman, it is estimated that my grandmother would have rushed up to the death.
As mentioned earlier, Chen Blind has nothing to do every day when he eats enough, so he can wander around the whole village. Although he is blind, his memory, hearing, and sense of smell are very good, and the streets and alleys in the village are clear to him.
Several people soon came to the east of the village. As he walked, Blind Chen suddenly stopped at the mouth of a small alley, turned around, raised his nose and sniffed at the alley, and said to my grandmother and the three of them: "The bald Chen's family lives in this alley. ”
My grandfather thought it was strange, so he asked Chen Blind, "Brother Blind, why are you so sure, you can smell it with your nose?" ”
"Cripple brother, you don't know this...... "Chen Blind smiled, "The first house where I live in this alley, there is a little at home, and it is springing, and the dog smells of urine...... Special sass! ”
When my grandmother heard what Blind Chen said from behind, she almost didn't rush up to pull my grandfather back to her side and kick Blind Chen again. My grandmother said coquettishly, "Brother, what are you talking about there, don't leave quickly, it's almost dark!" ”
My grandfather smashed his mouth and said to Blind Chen, "Then, let's hurry into the alley." ”
"Walking......" said the blind man Chen was the first to walk into the alley.
At this time, the bamboo pole in Chen's blind hand actually stopped exploring the way forward, and held it horizontally against the wall in his hand, and the bamboo pole walked along the wall at one end, and walked to the door of the first family's courtyard.
Walked to the door of the second house, and poked it again, "two"
"Three ......"
stabbed all the way to the fifth house in the alley, Chen Blind copied the bamboo pole and stabbed the door of the courtyard again, but this time, he didn't poke out the sound, and directly stabbed the air, why, this family, there is no door on the door frame.
Chen Blind himself laughed, "Oh, this is it!" ”
When my grandmother heard this, she took a look, and saw that the walls of this courtyard were not high, the small courtyard was not big, and there was a small gray tile earthen house in the courtyard.
At this time, I heard Chen Blind say: "Chen Bald didn't live here before. As he spoke, the bamboo pole pointed in the direction he had just come from, "He used to live in the third house in the alley, and that was the house he built." ”
My grandfather looked back at the third house, the high-walled compound, I don't know how many times more decent than the small earthen house in front of him, so he asked Chen Blind, "What's going on, why doesn't he live in his own yard?" ”
Hearing my grandfather ask, Chen Blind knocked my grandfather's cane with a bamboo pole, "Brother, you are such a smart person, you can't understand this." Immediately after, he lowered his voice and said: "The little daughter-in-law's man caught Chen Bald after he was in bed, and originally planned to bury him alive, but Chen Bald exchanged his own house for his own life!" ”
In the past, when men and women committed adultery, the punishment was very severe, riding a wooden donkey and dipping a pig cage. In the area of Sanwangzhuang, there is also a kind of "one carry" (tiao first sound), people stripped off their waists and tied them to the wooden stakes, and then tied their hands and feet tightly and tied the big stones, and threw them into the river, the wooden stakes floated on the river, but the people on the wooden stakes were immersed in the river face down because of the weight of the stones on their hands and feet, and after the people drowned and fished up, together with the wooden stakes, the whole was a horizontal line up with a capital letter "k".
At that time, the people were like this, and no one thought that these barbaric and cruel punishments were excessive. Three outlines and five constants, who told them to mess around? In comparison, Chen Bald can be regarded as very lucky to survive a life.
Blind Chen turned around and said to my grandmother and Xinyangzi: "Blind man, I can only bring you to their door, what is the matter with you, go in and find it yourself, this house is unlucky, blind man, I will not accompany you." After speaking, Chen Blind and my grandfather exchanged a few more words, turned around, still scratched the wall with a bamboo pole, stabbed the courtyard door and left.
At this time, it was basically dark, and my grandmother noticed that Xin Yangzi's eyes were narrowed into a slit, and she was looking into the courtyard, and it seemed that when she went back later, she would have to let my grandfather pull him away.
As mentioned earlier, the yard is not big, and there is only a small gray tile house in it. Seeing that it was dark, there was no light in the courtyard of the house, and the black lights were blinding. The three of them wondered, there would be no one in this Chen Bald Man's house.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard and shouting twice, no one answered, the three of them looked at each other, Xinyangzi chanted a trumpet, Immeasurable Tianzun, the first to walk into the courtyard. Seeing this, my grandmother and grandfather hurriedly followed.
The three of them came to the door of the house from the gate of the courtyard, the door was open, and it was dark inside, and there was nothing to see outside.
Xin Yangzi stood at the door and recited the number again, but there was still no one to respond inside, and he shouted twice, but no one responded.
Without waiting for Xinyangzi to shout again, my grandfather raised his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, bearing the brunt of the attack, and walked into the house. When my grandmother and Xinyangzi saw it, they had to follow in.
The room is much darker than the outside, at least it is dark, and there is no furnishings to look at, my grandfather shouted twice in the room, in fact, it is not necessary at this time, if there is someone in the house, it should be answered when it is at the gate of the courtyard, it seems that there is really no one at home.
However, the whole house is filled with an indescribable gloomy atmosphere, as if the whole room is full of unclean things. That feeling, just like what Chen Blind said, this house is unlucky.
My grandmother couldn't help but hug her arms, among the three people, she had the best eyes, and looked around the room, there was actually a back room, but it was not good to go into the back room to see, they were already suspected of trespassing on the house at this time, if they got into the house again, it was really full of mouth and couldn't tell.
Xin Yangzi sighed at this time, "Alas, no, the poor Dao's eyes can't see it, since there is no one in Lord Chen's house today, I might as well come back tomorrow." ”
Hearing Xin Yangzi say this, my grandmother and grandfather looked at him at the same time, and saw that Xin Yangzi's eyes had almost narrowed together, and he looked very struggling.
My grandmother said helplessly: "Okay, let's come back tomorrow, brother, you can help the Taoist." ”
My grandfather hurriedly stretched out a hand to hold Xinyangzi.
Walking out of the house and coming to the courtyard, the three of them walked a few steps towards the gate of the courtyard, and suddenly there was a cough from the courtyard, which was not loud, but startled the three people.
Stabilizing my mind, my grandmother and my grandfather looked in the direction where the cough came from, but there was nothing, so where did this cough sound come from? When I looked at the rest of the courtyard, there was no one to be seen.
The two men looked at each other. Xin Yangzi asked, who was coughing, was Chen Hui and his son back. Neither my grandmother nor my grandfather answered, looking around warily.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement, my grandmother signaled to my grandfather with her eyes, and pulled Xinyangzi to leave quickly, the house was really not clean.
However, before they could take a step, there was another cough from the "root", much louder than the one just now, and the three of them were all excited.
My grandmother hurriedly signaled to my grandfather again, hurry up!
However, at this time, an unacceptable scene occurred at the root of the west wall of the courtyard......
When my grandmother was motioning for my grandfather to hurry away, she caught a glimpse of it.
I saw something slowly sticking out from under the root of the west wall, and my grandmother suppressed the fear in her heart and looked there, do you know what my grandmother saw at that time?
A human hand...... The skin on that hand was like a peeled egg, and at night, Bai Sensen's eyes were dazzling, and my grandmother couldn't help but gasp.
When the man's hand came out of the ground, he was like a chicken claw, scratching at the ground desperately, as if there was a living person buried in the ground, trying to crawl out of the ground.
My grandmother hurriedly pinched my grandfather, pinched my grandfather's arm, and said in horror: "Brother, there is a person buried in the root of the west wall, and he is climbing up from the ground!" ”
My grandmother's words frightened my grandfather and Xinyangzi a lot, and the two of them turned their heads to look at the west wall at the same time, and my grandfather was stunned, turned his head and asked my grandmother, "What about people?" ”
My grandmother looked at my grandfather, then at the struggling human hand, and asked my grandfather, "Can't you see?" ”
My grandfather shook his head blankly. My grandfather can't see it, and Xinyangzi can't see it at this time, of course, and the two of them are a little confused.
My grandmother hurriedly urged my grandfather: "Go over and take a look, there must be something at the base of the wall." As she spoke, my grandmother took out three strips of chicken blood from her body and tied them to the wrists of the three people.
My grandpa still trusts my grandma very much, as long as my grandma says there is something, there must be something. My grandfather let go of Xin Yangzi and planned to walk over alone to take a look, but who knew that Xin Yangzi grabbed his arm and said: "Poor Dao has the relics of the master on his body, and all evils will not invade, so take Poor Dao with him." ”
My grandmother raised her hand and said, "There it is." ”
My grandfather took Xinyangzi to the place where my grandmother's finger was at the root of the west wall.
At this time, my grandfather and Xin Yangzi may not have noticed, but my grandmother could see it clearly, and when my grandfather walked to him with Xin Yangzi, the white Sensen's human hand immediately retracted as if frightened.
Besides, my grandfather, when he came to the base of the wall and looked down, it was dark, and he couldn't see anything, so he felt that the soil under his feet was a little soft, and then he stood on crutches against the wall, and let Xinyangzi stand against the wall, and he squatted down to take a closer look at the ground.
My grandfather then found that the ground under his feet had traces of turning, and the soft collapse was all new soil, although it looked quite smooth, but it could be seen that this ground had been cut open in the last two days, maybe there was something buried underneath.
My grandfather asked Xin Yangzi to hold on to the wall and wait, and he himself searched back and forth in the yard with a cane.
My grandmother was standing in the distance at this time and asked my grandfather what he was looking for, and my grandfather said, "Look for the guy who is digging the pit, there may be something buried underneath, and if you are afraid of seeing a dead person, don't come here." ”
My grandmother nodded.
My grandfather finally found an iron drill next to the door, picked up the iron drill and saw that the iron drill head was very sharp, as if it was a new guy, and there was a lot of dried dirt on it, and knocked it on the wall twice, and after knocking the dry mud off, my grandfather took the iron drill back to the root of the wall.
At this time, the problem came, my grandmother was afraid of seeing dead people since she was a child, and she didn't dare to come to her, and my grandfather had bad legs and feet, so that the crutches were okay, and if he was told to use an iron drill to dig the pit, it would be equivalent to driving ducks to the shelves.
In the end, the matter of using an iron chisel to plane the pit fell on the head of Xinyangzi, who had night blindness. Although Xin Yangzi couldn't see it at this time, fortunately, his legs and feet were sound, my grandfather pointed to the direction, Xin Yangzi picked up the iron chisel, and just cut it blindly.
The book says briefly. When the area the size of two square tables was about two feet deep, Xin Yangzi cut down again with an iron chisel, and was stunned for a moment, and asked my grandfather if there were any trees around. My grandfather felt strange when he heard this question, and Xin Yangzi said, why does this shovel feel like it has been rooted in the roots?
Xin Yangzi didn't know that his iron drill went down and pierced a person's face!
