Chapter 157: Family Relocation
Looking around, I searched all over the village and outside the village, but I still didn't see Li Sheng's shadow, and in the end, there was no way, my grandfather and the three of them returned to Li Sheng's house.
Sitting at Li Sheng's house smoking a cigarette, my grandfather thought back and forth, since he couldn't find Li Sheng, he could only think of a way to fight the female ghost, hit the snake and hit the seven inches, and the female ghost was Li Sheng's "seven inches".
Subsequently, my grandfather asked my grandmother to set up a small ghost trap at Li Sheng's house, and he asked my grandfather for the money bag and drove the carriage out of the door.
An hour later, my grandfather returned, and by this time my grandmother had already set up the trapping situation, and saw my grandfather enter the door with a life-size female paper figure.
My grandmother understood at a glance, and just hurriedly cooperated with my grandfather to put the female paper figure in the eyes of the bureau, and then my grandfather took out a yellow paper bag from his body, opened the yellow paper bag, and my grandmother took a look, which was wrapped in a blackened section like a dead branch, and the length of the middle finger.
My grandmother's face turned pale suddenly, so she didn't spit it out, and I don't need to guess that my grandmother also knew that my grandfather not only found a craftsman who tied paper to tie a female paper figure, but also returned to the old house to dig out the female corpse and cut off a middle finger with a short sword.
Looking at the right hand of the female paper man, there is indeed a missing middle finger, and there is only a black hole the thickness of a finger in that position.
My grandfather didn't care about my grandmother's fear when she saw the middle finger of the female corpse, so she pinched out the finger from the yellow paper bag and inserted it into the hole of the middle finger of the paper man's right hand, the size was just right, but it looked disgusting and weird. In order to prevent it from falling off, my grandfather also used a red rope to wrap the middle finger firmly around the paper man's right hand a few times.
After doing all this, my grandfather took out the small bottle containing the female ghost from his arms, opened the cork on the bottle without hurrying, and instructed my grandmother to light a few pieces of yellow paper next to the paper figure, and told my grandfather to scoop a scoop of water in the water tank outside.
The yellow paper was scooped with water, and my grandfather said, "Come out." At the same time, he uncorked the Soul Collector Bottle and slammed the mouth of the bottle towards the paper fire.
There seemed to be nothing in the bottle, as if my grandfather shook the empty bottle, but the paper fire next to the paper man suddenly rose in flames, and it looked very scary.
My grandfather shouted, "Splash water!" My grandfather immediately poured the water in the water scoop on the paper fire, and the paper fire made a "whoosh" sound and went out instantly.
My grandfather and the three of them all stood still and didn't move, three pairs of eyes watching the female paper figure jump. The female paper man jumped to the door of the room a few times, and jumped out of the room after seeing it, at this time, an invisible force pushed it back, and the female paper man jumped backwards several times as if she was out of control, and the paper body shook and hung on the ground.
Seeing that the door could not be passed, he jumped towards the window again, and as soon as he jumped to the window, he was pushed back by a force.
My grandfather spoke at this time, "Female ghost Xiaoqing, don't waste your efforts, you don't have enough Taoism to break this game." ”
The female paper man seemed to be able to hear my grandfather's words, and when my grandfather's voice fell, the female paper man jumped suddenly and turned a grotesque paper face at my grandfather.
My grandfather unhurriedly took out a box of matches from his body, struck one, and when the match was halfway burned, he put it to his mouth and blew it out, and said: "Listen to me honestly and give you a way to live, otherwise, a foreign fire will burn you out!" ”
The female paper man "watched" at my grandfather and stopped moving, as if she was thinking about something.
My grandmother interjected at this time, "Xiaoqing, we know that you and Li Sheng are sincere, and we are doing this for the good of you and Li Sheng, and we have no malicious intentions." ”
The female paper man jumped to the ground and rushed her face to my grandmother again, my grandmother felt like a little rabbit in her heart, and jumped suddenly, after all, this is the first time she has done this kind of ritual, and she still can't accept this kind of "face-to-face" for a while.
My grandmother gasped twice and then said: "Li Sheng wants to wait for the grapes to ripen for you, but have you thought about it, what about his mother, he is dead, what should his mother do?" White-haired people send black-haired people, can you bear it? ”
After my grandmother finished speaking, the whole thing fell silent, the female paper man did not move, and my grandfather and they stopped talking.
After a long time, something strange happened, and my grandmother saw tears flowing from the eyes of the female paper man.
Where did the paper man get his tears? My grandmother looked at my grandfather, who nodded silently at her.
My grandmother and the female paper man said: "We now have a compromise method that can let you and Li Sheng be together, and the yin qi in your body can't hurt Li Sheng, but if you want to be together forever, you have to wait until Li Shengyang is at the end of his life." Would you like to? If you want to, you can jump, if you don't, you can jump twice......"
The female paper man jumped a little......
The female ghost was released from the female paper figure by my grandfather, and then released from the ghost trap by my grandmother......
At dinnertime, Li Sheng looked sluggish and stumbled back in despair, he was found by the female ghost Xiaoqing.
My grandfather's family of three walked out of Li Sheng's house and spent the night in the carriage, giving Li Sheng and the female ghost Xiaoqing a night's time.
The next day, Li Sheng's complexion and spirit were much better, and there was still a slight smile on his face, and his face was more grateful to my grandfather's family, and he also agreed with the method that my grandmother told the female ghost Xiaoqing.
Subsequently, my grandfather brought a female paper man, not a paper man, but a cloth man tied by the method of a paper man, this cloth and the previous paper man, whether in terms of workmanship or materials, are several times better, vivid, at a glance, just like a real person.
My grandmother let the female ghost attach herself to the cloth man, tied two red ropes to the cloth man's two wrists at the same time, and instructed the female ghost and Li Sheng that every month on the fifteenth day, one person and one ghost can meet after the second watch in the evening, and on other days, the female ghost is not allowed to come out. Both the female ghost and Li Sheng agreed.
At this point, the matter between the female ghost and Li Sheng was successfully resolved, and my grandmother breathed a sigh of relief and secretly showed an emotional smile to my grandfather next to her.
At this point, Li Sheng and the Nabu people were together.
Writing here, in fact, it's not over yet, they still have a few words to say, but it's not appropriate to say it at this time, leave a note for the time being, and talk about it later. I don't have a very good memory now, if I forget this stubble, don't scold me, friends.
Postscript: When I left Hewaner Village, there was a family in Hewaner Village who was doing a funeral, carrying a coffin out of the funeral, the scene was quite grand, and there were a lot of people at the funeral, crying and wiping tears, blocking the way.
My grandfather and my grandmother got out of the carriage and inquired, and it turned out that the Hou Mansion was holding a funeral, and it was the rich opium dealer who was lying in the coffin, Hou Desen.
On the day of the fire in the old house, the rich man was looking for a treasure in the house, and he was trapped in the house because of the fire. On the day of his funeral, the fourth aunt of the family happened to give birth to a son. Many years later, I heard that the son born to the fourth aunt of Hudson could only speak when he was eight years old, and the first thing he said was that he was not Hudson's son, and he drowned when he was fishing for wood in the river......
Time flies like an arrow, and time soon came to 1938, this year, my grandmother was 20 years old, my grandfather was 71 years old, my grandmother was 49 years old, and my grandfather was 31 years old.
In late May, the invading Japanese army captured Xuzhou and advanced westward along the Longhai line.
At this time, many people in Sanwangzhuang said that the Japanese were going to fight, and these Japanese were more ruthless than the Xiangma bandits, robbing women and food, killing people without blinking, and many big families near Sanwangzhuang went to the north with their families.
My grandmother persuaded my grandfather to take his family into the mountains to hide, my grandfather disagreed, and said nonchalantly, the Eight-Nation Coalition was not good back then, and now a little Japan can toss out of the sky, there is nothing to fear, I think I ate steamed buns and killed four of them.
A few days later, news came from the villagers that soldiers were digging the embankment at the mouth of the garden in the upper reaches of the river. At this time, it has been raining for a few days, the river is surging, and seeing that the flood season of the Yellow River is coming, digging the river embankment at this time, isn't this looking for flooding?
A few days later, news came out from the villagers that many soldiers were driving away the people nearby, saying that the Japanese were going to blow up the river embankment, and told the people to flee for their lives.
This news shook the whole village, because Sanwangzhuang was downstream of Huayuankou, and once the river embankment there exploded, the entire Sanwangzhuang would be gone.
Because this news is very reliable, the villagers of Sanwangzhuang began to drag their families to flee to the north bank of the river, not only Sanwangzhuang, but also the nearby people are fleeing to the north bank of the river, the river is crowded, everywhere are people and boats.
At this time, Wang Caoyu came to my grandfather with several sons and persuaded my grandfather to leave together.
No matter how strong my grandfather is, he also knows a priority, seeing that this matter can't be faked, the embankment breaking at the mouth of the garden is a matter of the past few days, if you don't leave, the water will come in the future, and there will be a few more dead drifters in the river.
So he packed up the small and soft things in the house, and crossed the river with Wang Caoyu's family to the north bank of the river.
Originally, everyone planned to settle in Liuzhuang, which is the village where my great-grandfather was born, and there used to be two brothers of my great-grandfather, that is, my grandfather's two uncles, but now they have long passed away, and now there are only a few nephews in the village who have not come out of my grandfather's five suits.
But my grandfather said: "If you want to go, let's go farther, Liuzhuang is so close to the river, it is not safe." ”
Wang Caoyu asked my grandfather, "Then where are we going?" ”
My grandfather said, "Further north, there is a nice place at the foot of the mountain, with land, and there is spring water flowing down from the mountain. ”
Wang Caoyu's sons did not agree to go further north, but Wang Caoyu was very happy, because why, he had also been to this place that my grandfather said. #~@@
Twenty years ago, when my grandfather went to Tie Horse Village in the mountains, didn't Wang Caoyu also go with him. The place that my grandfather said is not too far from the tethered horse village, not considered a mountain, next to the mountain, the scenery is good, there are mountains and rivers, they passed by there when they went to the tethered horse village, and both of them said that the place was good.
Tethered Horse Village, that is, the place where my grandfather met the red-haired fox and raised my grandmother.
Of Wang Caoyu's sons, only the youngest son, Wang Shicheng, was willing to follow, and their family was separated. Wang Caoyu took his youngest son Wang Shicheng to follow my grandfather's family to the north, and the other sons stayed in Liuzhuang......
In June 1938, in order to prevent the Japanese mechanized troops from advancing westward along the Yellow River, Chiang Kai-shek adopted the "substitution of water for soldiers" and ordered the explosion of the "Huayuankou", a ferry port on the south bank of the Yellow River, located 17 kilometers north of Zhengzhou City, Henan Province.
On 9 June, with several earth-shattering bangs, the Huayuankou embankment opened, the raging waters of the Yellow River poured for thousands of miles, and countless villages in southeastern Henan were instantly swallowed up by monstrous waves, and the death toll reached 890,000, three times that of the Nanjing Massacre. The Yellow River has been diverted so far, the former Yanjin ferry no longer exists, and even the graves of my great-grandfather and Wang Shoudao have been washed away by the flood!!
This tragedy, known as the "Huayuankou Embankment Burst" in history, and the "Changsha Fire" and "Chongqing Air-raid Shelter Tragedy" in the history of the Anti-Japanese War, are also known as one of the three major tragedies!
It was during that period that our family moved away from the Yellow River and moved to the foot of Taihang Mountain...... the last ghost hunters-
