My grandfather squinted his eyes and looked at my grandmother, and my grandmother said excitedly: "Guan Er Ye was defeated and left Mai Cheng and was killed by Sun Quan, and then Sun Quan buried Guan Er Ye's body in Dangyang, and the head was given to Cao Cao, Cao Cao buried Guan Er Ye's head in Luoyang, and Guan Er Ye's ghost was chased from Jingzhou to Luoyang, and he kept shouting along the road." Give me back my head', Cao Cao was afraid, and was scared out of the headless ghost of Guan Erye, and his headache was cracking, and later Cao Cao built a temple for Guan Erye in Luoyang, so that the people in the city could worship incense, and Cao Cao's headache was alleviated. ”

After my grandmother finished speaking, my grandfather laughed, "Not bad, it seems that I taught you to read and write, but I didn't teach you in vain." As soon as the conversation changed, my grandfather asked again: "Now, you know what to do, right?" ”

My grandmother hurriedly nodded, "I know Dad, it's much easier to build a small temple than to carve a stone head." ”

My grandfather smiled again and nodded slightly, looking very pleased.

This kind of small temple that my grandmother said, is really small, the image is a little bit, it is about the same as the volume of the washing machine at home, but it is a little higher than the washing machine, square, two layers up and down, and the lower layer is solid, looking at it alone, it is like a square platform built of stones, with three walls on the upper floor, one side is empty, the height, width, and depth are basically the same, and the roof ridge of the temple is two on the left and right, in the shape of a "person", it looks like a big shrine, and there is only one tablet inside, an incense burner, and two wax tables. Some are a little more elaborate, and inside is a small statue of a god, which is very simple. Now there are many big temples in the countryside, in the early days, they were actually this kind of inconspicuous small temples, and later the small temples were full of incense, and people renovated and expanded it, which formed the scale of the current big temple.

Just then, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door, and my grandfather had returned, followed by a little old man. My grandfather and my grandmother got up from their stools at the same time and looked behind my grandfather, and it turned out to be the village chief.

The village chief looked confused at this time, and asked my grandfather when he entered the door, "Brother Liu, why did the daughter-in-law of the Hu family come to your house in the middle of the night?" ”

As soon as my grandfather heard the words of the village chief, he glanced at my grandfather, it seems that my grandfather is not stupid, he didn't tell the truth to the village chief, my grandfather immediately smiled and said: "I can't sleep tonight, so I want to go outside for a walk, who thinks, just open the courtyard door, I saw the daughter-in-law of the Hu family lying on the side of the road in front of our house, I called her twice, she didn't agree, the ground was cold, I asked my daughter-in-law to carry her into the house." ”

Hearing what my grandfather said, the village chief looked at my grandfather and then at my grandmother, doubted the letter, and asked, "The daughter-in-law of the Hu family...... Where are you now? ”

My grandfather raised his hand and pointed, "In my daughter-in-law's room." ”

The village chief followed my grandfather's fingers, glanced at the door of the room on the west side of the living room, and then said: "This daughter-in-law of the Hu family has no father-in-law and mother-in-law, and she and her man are at home, and her man is now sick and lying on the bed, this ...... in the middle of the night" The village chief showed a difficult look on his face, looking in a dilemma, "This, this, who will I go to call someone to carry her......" said, his eyes glanced at my grandmother.

My grandmother understood what he meant, and hurriedly said, "Village Chief, if you know where this daughter-in-law of the Hu family lives, you can show me the way, and I can carry her back alone." ”

The village chief was overjoyed when he heard this, "Medium! I'll show you the way......"

Subsequently, my grandmother carried Hu out of the room, and several people in the outhouse glanced at Hu at the same time, Hu was still unconscious at this time, but the white breath on his face had completely faded, and lying on my grandmother's back was like falling asleep, and it seemed very quiet.

At this time, the village chief found the white cloth wrapped around Hu's neck. Before, my grandmother was afraid that the wound would be thicker and then strangle Hu, but she only wrapped it thinly two or three times, but this also caused the blood flowing from the wounds in Hu's neck to penetrate the white cloth, and it looked full of blood stains.

The village chief's eyes were obviously not very good, he took two steps forward, squinted his eyes, and after confirming that there was blood on the white cloth with his old eyes, he exclaimed: "What's going on in her neck?" ”

"This is ......" my grandmother was about to reply, when my grandfather coughed and interrupted my grandmother, "I saw her like this, who knows what she did." ”

The village chief glanced back at my grandfather, looking a little puzzled, and my grandfather also showed a puzzled face at this time, and glanced at him. The village chief smashed his mouth and stopped asking.

Afterwards, the village chief walked in front with a lantern, and my grandmother followed him closely behind him with Hu on her back. Out of the courtyard gate, the village chief led the way, and the two of them walked towards the southwest of the village.

Of course, it is impossible for my grandfather to let my grandmother go to the Hu family's house alone, seeing that my grandmother left with the Hu family on her back and followed the village chief, she hurriedly motioned for my grandfather to follow with her, and by the way, she also brought my grandmother's baggage, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, in case the headless evil ghost was really hidden in the Hu family's house, and my grandmother didn't bring anything alone, wouldn't it be very dangerous.

My grandfather hurriedly took his baggage and went out, and soon, he limped into my grandmother and the village chief, and walked side by side with my grandmother.

The village chief heard movement behind him, and while walking, he turned back with a lantern, and saw that it was my grandfather, his lips moved, and it seemed that he wanted to say something, but my grandfather was busy saying: "My daughter-in-law is still young, and I don't feel at ease when I go out in the middle of the night." ”

The village chief nodded when he heard this, and said nothing.

The three of them soon came to the door of a family in the southwest corner of the village, this family did not seem to be very good, with low stone courtyard walls and two dilapidated gates.

There is only one house in the courtyard, but because the light source of the lantern is limited, the moon in the sky is not very round, and it is dark and rumbling, and I can't see anything clearly.

"Oh, this is it." The village chief walked a few steps towards the courtyard gate, turned back to my grandmother and my grandfather and said: "The man of the daughter-in-law of the Hu family is called Hu Lin, and the people in the village call him Dalin, a year ago their parents starved to death, and he had no land at home, so Dalin relied on hunting in the mountains to make a living, and this daughter-in-law helped to do some needlework or something for others, and the days were still passing, but it was strange to say that they were ...... these two people."

The village chief didn't open the door on the other side, but stood at the door and talked endlessly, and my grandfather glanced at my grandmother, and saw that beads of sweat were coming out of my grandmother's forehead. My grandfather was immediately unhappy, interrupted the village chief, and shouted in a low voice: "Village chief, can we go into her house and then talk about it, I want to exhaust my daughter-in-law, why don't you call your daughter-in-law to try it on your back!" ”

The village chief was stunned by my grandfather's roar, glanced at my grandmother, and probably saw my grandmother's sweat on her head, and immediately gave my grandfather a smile, turned around, and saw that the courtyard door was not locked.

My grandfather said again at this time: "Village chief, you just said that she is the only man in her house, and her man is still lying on the bed, who do you expect to open the door for us when you knock on the door like this?" ”

The village chief was stunned by my grandfather's question, and looked back at my grandfather, as if he realized something, "What your brother said is right, her man can't get out of bed while lying on the bed, this Hu family's daughter-in-law is outside, the door should be open, who gave them the courtyard door?" ”

As soon as the village chief said this, my grandfather also realized, two people, you look at me, I look at you, and look at each other.

My grandmother frowned at this time, and she had a bad feeling in her heart, she looked at my grandfather and said, "Why don't you jump over and open the courtyard door." ”

My grandfather glanced at the courtyard wall and muttered, "This courtyard wall is not too high, I'll try it." As he spoke, my grandfather walked to the front of the courtyard, stood on the base of the wall with his crutches, grabbed the wall with both hands, and straightened his body upward, which was not bad, and climbed on the top of the wall with the upper half of his body, and then turned over and got closer to the yard.

The village chief was also quite discerning, and hurriedly handed the crutches to my grandfather over the wall.

After a while, my grandfather opened the courtyard door from the inside.

At this time, my grandmother walked up to my grandfather with Hu on her back and motioned for him to open his baggage and draw a few chicken blood strips from it.

My grandfather opened the baggage and took out three chicken blood strips, handed one to the village chief, and the village chief glanced at it, "What is this?" ”

"To ward off evil spirits, this is the most effective way to walk at night, just tie it on your wrist." My grandfather said.

The village chief was skeptical, "It's all in place, why don't you give it to me early." ”

"Do you want it?" My grandfather was gesturing to take it back.

The village chief hurriedly took it.

After tying up the chicken blood strip, the three of them walked through the courtyard to the door of the house, but the door was hidden.

After pushing the door into the house, the village chief found an oil lamp lit, and my grandmother, with the help of my grandfather, temporarily put Hu Shi on a chair.

Gasping for breath, my grandmother glanced into the house, there were few decent objects in the house, but the strange thing was that the yin in the room was very heavy, and I didn't know where the cold wind was blowing.

The village chief and my grandfather could not feel the yin air and cold wind, and the village chief walked towards the door of the only inner room at this time, and shouted twice when he walked to the door, but no one answered in the inner room, and the village chief carried a lantern and opened the curtain and walked in.

Taking advantage of the vacancy, my grandmother quickly tossed around in the outhouse, and at the same time, motioned to my grandfather to stand at the door of the inner room to help her look at the village chief, my grandfather didn't know what my grandma was doing, but it was certain that my grandmother must have done it for a purpose, of course, definitely not to take anything from others.

When my grandfather walked to the door of the inner room, my grandmother had already discovered the source of the yin qi in the house, and there was a pile of burnt firewood and grass ashes under the stove in the southeast corner.

The inexplicable yin qi in the room was issued by this pistol, and I didn't wait for my grandmother to take a closer look.

My grandfather, who was guarding the door of the back room, coughed violently, and my grandmother knew it and hurriedly stuffed the pistol back in.

At this time, the curtain of the door of the inner house moved, and the village chief walked out of the inner room with a sigh, "What kind of evil has our village done, the men in the whole village have become like this, alas...... Ay? Liu's daughter-in-law, what are you doing there on the stove? ”
