When I went out to the post office, I didn't find the madman, there were only two staff members sitting there chatting, and there was not a single guest inside. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After that, I turned around the annex and didn't find the shadow of the madman, I guess I didn't come out when I went home at this time, and finally I found a snack bar near the post office, and went into the house to order something to eat, Wu Hao sat there and looked around, I looked, "Brother Wu, don't look at it, eat something first, what else do you look at at our table", he looked at the cold dishes on the table and shook his head, "I'm not hungry, you can eat by yourself."
At this time, there was no one at the table in the store, many tourists stayed in the store and did not dare to come out, the waiter was a young man in his thirties, and after serving cold dishes, he was lying on the table on the side to play poker, I looked at him and said to him, "Waiter, come and sit, I want to ask you something."
He looked up at me, "Tell me something, slow down the hot food, wait."
"I'm not asking for food, I'm asking you something else," I said with a smile at him.
Maybe my smile wasn't very good-looking, but he only glanced at me and then withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the poker on the table, "Ask for directions, buy a map, it's sold outside the street."
"I'm not asking for directions, I'm asking about the madman who sat in front of the post office last night."
"You said that uncle, he's crazy, what's the matter to ask", he still didn't look up at me.
At this time, Wu Hao took out a fifty yuan bill from his pocket and shook it at him and put it on the table, he just looked at me, turned around and found that the boss was not there, and came over to look at us, "What do you want to know?" ”。
Don't look at Wu Haoren's boring, he really has a brain, I looked at the door, pointed to the stool next to me, "Sit down and talk for a while", he looked in the direction of the kitchen, "Wait a while, I'll go in and see if the dishes are ready", left after speaking, and put the fifty yuan in his pocket when he left.
After a while, he brought out a plate of freshly fried hot dishes from the kitchen and put it on my table, and then sat down on the stool next to him, "The boss will be back in a while, ask if there is anything, I don't know much."
I smiled, "Big brother, don't be nervous, I just want to ask who the madman who sat at the door of the post office last night was?" And who is Gibouta he is talking about? ”。
The young man hesitated for a moment, estimating whether the fifty dollars in his pocket were enough for me, and finally whispered to me.
The madman is called Nari Su, and the young people live in the front and back yards, they are all locals, young people are used to calling him that uncle, the young man's surname is Mu, called Mu Di, born and raised in the small town of Yaodan, the family has lived here for several generations, that day Su was a postman in Yaodan Town in the early years, the family has a son and a daughter, the wife died of illness in the early years, the daughter married to Hotan, the son gathered a girl from Korla, the uncle also moved to live in his mother's house after going crazy two years ago, and now the uncle lives at home alone.
When the uncle went crazy, he sat at the door of the post office all day and giggled at people, saying strange things, and lost his job, and the words he said would be fulfilled in all likelihood.
"What did he say that would come true?" , I asked him.
According to legend, as early as the Liao Dynasty, a high man founded a shamanic sect in Gaochang, and the first site was the current town of Yaodan, but at that time it was not called Yaodan, but was called Du (dū) Yang.
This person's name is Londodan, according to legend, Londotan was originally a Khitan, and the purpose of creating a shamanic sect was also to hope to bring the divine light to the world, and there were thousands of disciples in the sect, and the power was getting bigger and bigger at that time.
Later, the Liao Tai Sect sent people to recover Long Duodan to become his right-hand man, but they were unsuccessful, and finally someone proposed to oppose the people around Long Duodan first, and then disintegrate him little by little, and Long Duodan had a henchman who was bought by the people of Liao Taizong for a large amount of money.
On a night that had been plotting for a long time, the Liao Tai Sect sent people to Duyang to negotiate with Duodan again to discuss the matter of entering Liao, but was rejected by Londodan on the spot, but at this time, he didn't expect his henchmen to stand up against him, and used the cultists who had been bought in his hands to force Londodan to withdraw from the position of sect leader.
However, at that time, there were too many people who were bribed by his henchmen, and many of Londodan's followers were controlled, and Londotan was also captured alive and tied to a big tree in the sect's courtyard.
The envoy sent by the Liao Taizong lobbied the henchman on the side, and if he wanted to sit firmly in the position of the sect leader, he must serve the people, and now is a good opportunity, get rid of Londodan, and no one will dare to come out to compete with him, and promised that as long as Londodan is eliminated, the Liao State will reward 10,000 taels of gold and 10,000 pieces of cattle and sheep silk, and the henchman was blackened by the desire for profit, and ordered Londodan to be burned alive on the old poplar tree in the courtyard.
And Rondodan had made a blood oath and cursed before he died, and after he died, he would inevitably let the people of Duyang bury him together, and after this sentence was finished, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky, and many people had a long time of tinnitus, and then looked at the big tree in the courtyard was struck by a thunderbolt, and even the trees and people were turned into ashes, and a gust of wind blew and rolled up the ashes and scattered them throughout Duyang City.
After Liao was destroyed by Jin, Duyang also changed many dynasties, until the Ming Dynasty when Zhu Yuanzhang passed by Duyang and saw the end of Danyang Zhaoducheng, Duyang was renamed Yaodan.
"And who is Gibuta that Uncle is talking about?" , I asked him.
"Londodan is a Khitan language, and if it is replaced by our Uyghur language, it is Jibouta, and if it is replaced by what you can understand, it is revenge."
"So the death of the little couple was because of Gibouta's curse?".
The young man shushed at me, "Don't say that, especially in this town, it's very unlucky."
It seems that I am right, maybe there is some kind of magic in this town that is hunting the people here, "Has anything like this happened before other than what happened last night?" ”。
The young man was silent for a while, "Yes, one or two died every year in the past, and then more and more, at most fourteen died in a year the year before last, the cause of death is unknown, and the police can't find out the results, they are all unnatural deaths, and many locals in the town have moved away, leaving only those of us who are reluctant to have family business."
"Can't even the police find out?".
"I can't find out, those people either drowned in their own tanks or choked to death after eating, and some were stoned to death by flying stones while walking, and some even died of exhaustion."
"When did Uncle go crazy? What's going on with him? ”。
"Hey, that uncle's life is not good, two years ago that uncle had an illness, stroke, fortunately was rescued, but since then he has been crazy, he doesn't speak human words when he sees people, he actually says something that people can't understand, and he can't be locked up, you can't always lock up a madman for no reason, not to mention that he didn't hurt anyone, he let him go for a long time, he will eat whatever he wants, and sometimes he will come to us, the boss is also enthusiastic, and he will arrange a chef to cook for him if he wants to eat, After all, after living in a town for generations, no one can bear to look at it."
After saying that, he got up and patted his buttocks, "Okay, that's all I know, our boss is coming back soon, don't let him know what I told you, or I'll be fired."
Mu Di left, and sat at his table playing poker, Wu Hao didn't react at all when he heard the story, I was thinking, could the death of the little couple have something to do with this Gibouta curse, and if you want to know more about Gibouta, you have to find Na Risu.
After a few simple bites, we went to find Na Ri Su according to the location that Mu Di said, this Ji Bu Ta story is very attractive to me, I really want to know what kind of curse is hidden in this town, whether Ji Bu Ta really exists, and Wu Hao and I found the small courtyard that Mu Di said, knocked on the door for a long time and no one came out, it seems that Na Ri Su should not be at home, I don't know where he went.
After that, I almost looked around the town, as long as I could go, I went everywhere, but I still didn't see a figure, Wu Hao didn't squeak on the side, I looked at him and shook my head, "Forget it, let's go back to the store first, it's not a matter of wandering around like this."
There was nothing to say during the day, and when I came out again in the evening, the impact of the little couple on the town was not big, and there were still many people who came out to wander around at night, eat supper, and go on a moon date, but there were fewer than last night.
I came to the post office again, the post office has long been closed, I didn't see that day Su in front of the door, I was disappointed, if I can't find him tonight, we may set off early tomorrow morning, and Jibouta's story may not be heard completely, then Wu Hao patted my shoulder and pointed to the other side, I saw a crazy little old man, wearing a shoe on his foot and smirking at a young man with a backpack, "Hehe, Jibouta will come to you, don't run too far."
