My grandmother smiled, patted the ashes off her hands, got up from the ground, and said, "I saw a mouse under the stove." ”
The village chief was stunned when he heard this, blinked his eyes twice, and looked a little crying and laughing, why is this daughter-in-law of the Liu family so naughty. Fortunately, the village chief didn't care, and said: "This person is almost unable to be saved, what kind of mouse does it matter." He sighed and shook his head.
"Village chief, is there anyone in his family?" My grandfather asked at this time.
The village chief glanced at his grandfather, "Of course there are people, Da Lin is lying on the bed." As he spoke, the village chief's face was bitter, and he obviously wanted to say a few more words, because his four sons and several grandchildren were also lying on the bed at home.
Before he could say anything, my grandfather snatched the lantern from his hand and went into the back room.
When I went to the back room, I saw a thick sauce-colored quilt on the bed, and there was a cat under the quilt, as if he was shivering, shaking so much that even the quilt shook with it.
My grandfather walked over and lifted the quilt to see a man in his twenties curled under the quilt, like a cat. The man's face was pale, thin and skinny, and a pair of eyes were still open in the deep sunken eye sockets, and when he shone with a lantern, his eyes glowed faintly green. My grandfather has seen Wang Shicheng's father and son get sick before, but they are not as serious as Hu Lin, Hu Lin is still like a person at this time, living out of a panting ghost!
My grandfather didn't look much at it, put the quilt back on Hu Lin, and walked out of the bedroom with the lantern. At this time, my grandmother was taking the pulse of the Hu family, and the village chief was watching from the side.
My grandfather asked the village chief, "How can this Hu family's daughter-in-law be settled, his men have become like that, can't they be put together." ”
The village chief looked at my grandfather and was embarrassed. My grandmother finished checking Hu Shi at this time, and when she heard my grandfather say this, she glanced at the ground, "Is there still a quilt and mattress in the back room?" Otherwise, make the bed quilt on the ground first, judging from the pulse, this Hu family girl will wake up later. ”
The village chief and my grandfather looked at each other, but neither of them spoke, and it was estimated that they could not think of any better way, so the two of them went into the back room together to find the quilt and mattress.
My grandmother swept the ground with a broom, spread the straw mat, tossed for a while, and placed Hu on the ground.
At this time, the village chief asked my grandmother suspiciously, "Daughter-in-law of the Liu family, do you know medical skills?" ”
When my grandmother heard the village chief ask, her eyes moved, and she smiled, "I understand a little bit." ”
The village chief nodded, "No wonder." Then he asked, "Then do you know what is wrong with the daughter-in-law of the Hu family?" ”
My grandmother thought for a moment, "I don't know. Immediately afterwards, my grandmother took the opportunity to change the conversation, "Village chief, if this is not the case, you and my brother will wait outside first, and I will untie the clothes of the Hu family sister." ”
The village chief nodded when he heard this. After that, my grandfather and the village chief went out of the house. As for my grandmother, as soon as she closed the door, she didn't even untie Hu's clothes, but went directly to the stove, took out the pistol and stuffed it into her arms.
After stopping to have a meal, my grandmother opened the door and walked out, then turned around and closed the door again.
When the village chief saw my grandmother coming out of the room, he asked her, "Do you see anything?" ”
My grandmother smiled at the village chief, "It's okay, this Hu family girl is just a little frightened, and she will be fine when she wakes up later." As she spoke, my grandmother glanced at the moon in the sky, which was not very round, "Village chief, I don't think it's too early, let's go home." ”
The village chief blinked twice and nodded.
On the way, the village chief asked my grandfather what was the matter with the chicken blood strip on his wrist, what was this thing, and why it could ward off evil spirits. My grandfather said that this is a white cloth soaked in cinnabar chicken blood, a custom developed in Sanwangzhuang in the past, and people in the Sanwangzhuang area who are rushing at night bring this.
When I got home, my grandfather had not yet slept and was smoking again in front of the oil lamp, and my grandmother sat down next to him and took out a pistol from her arms to show him.
Except for my grandmother, who is sensitive to yin, everyone else is the same as ordinary people, which may have something to do with my grandmother's physique, or perhaps, this craft should be learned by my grandmother.
My grandfather glanced at the pistol with a cigarette pouch in his mouth, and said lightly: "This is a thing that can only be worn by government officers, where did you get it?" ”
"The Hu family took it out of the stove, and the Hu family has a very heavy yin qi, just because of this gun." My grandmother said.
When my grandfather heard this, he immediately put down his cigarette pouch and took the gun from my grandmother's hand. He rummaged the gun in his hand a few times, groaned, paused for a while, and with a bang, withdrew the magazine on the gun.
My grandfather looked at the magazine and then at the pistol, put the magazine and the pistol on either side of the table, turned to my grandmother and asked, "Is the yin qi on the pistol or on the magazine?" ”
My grandmother looked at the pistol, then at the magazine, and raised her finger to point at the magazine.
My grandfather nodded, and said something in his mouth, understood. Then he picked up the magazine, took out the bullets one by one and put them on the table, and when he took out the last one, he didn't put it on the table again, but pinched it in his hand and took it under the oil lamp to shine a light.
My grandmother watched my grandfather's every move with good looks at this time, and saw that my grandfather put the bullet under the oil lamp to look at it, and she hurried to look at it, and saw that this bullet was obviously different from the other bullets on the table, the others were yellow and clear, and the bullet seemed to have rust on it, a layer of dark red.
My grandmother took a closer look and asked my grandfather, "Dad, is this ...... It can't be blood, right? ”
My grandfather turned his head to look at my grandmother, looked very satisfied, and nodded, "Yes, it's blood, it should be the blood of the headless demon, it seems that this headless demon turned into evil, and it is not a coincidence." ”
My grandmother didn't understand, and my grandfather continued: "This is supposed to be an ancient spell, the dying person, knowing that he is going to die, smears the blood of his finger on a certain personal object in advance, and after wiping it, he recites a spell on that object, but the object must not be too big, and it cannot be discovered, and when he dies, the spell will take effect, and his ghost will be dissolved." "Saying that, my grandfather, let out a sigh, "No wonder that headless demon can become so powerful in such a short period of time, I really can't imagine that there can be such a strange person in the government army." ”
"But, how did this gun get to the Hu family?" My grandmother asked.
"Isn't that simple?" My grandfather speculated: "The man of the Hu family's sister-in-law also went into the mountain to carry the corpse, I estimate that the officer's body was carried by him, and the officer made a double gun, he knew that he could not live, so he cursed the bullet and hid the gun in the upper body, and the little Japanese only found a gun on him, thinking that it was gone, and then the man of the Hu family's daughter-in-law found the gun on the officer, he did not hand it over to the Japanese, and put it away himself." ”
My grandmother asked, "Then why didn't he separate the bullet from the gun, and if he buried it somewhere, or threw it somewhere, wouldn't anyone else find it?" ”
My grandfather waved his hand, "I don't know much about this, I also heard from others, saying that those death row prisoners in the past would put a curse on themselves, and after being cut off by someone, the ghost would turn into revenge." ”
My grandmother nodded, "If that's the case, then it's even simpler, when we build a small temple, we put this bullet in it, and the headless demon won't come out to harm people again." ”
My grandfather nodded slightly, "After you left, I thought about it, the matter of building a small temple has to be handed over to Xinyangzi, and our family had better not come out." ”
"Well, if our family builds a small temple, the men in the village will be cured, and no one will go to the Huanghuadong to incense."
My grandfather smiled and nodded.
The next day, my grandfather followed a carriage and drove my grandmother to Huanghuadong, and told Xin Yangzi about the situation, Xin Yangzi was first afraid, and then grateful, afraid that those villagers would come up to the mountain to ask him for food, and what was grateful was that the people of my grandfather's family were really righteous, not only blocked the villagers who were going to trouble him, but also found the root cause of the disease, and gave this credit to himself. It can be said that my grandfather's family is equivalent to the reinvention benefactor of Huanghuadong.
In the afternoon of the same day, Xinyangzi came to the village with my grandmother and grandfather, and my grandfather led him to the village chief, who told the village chief that he had negotiated with Xinyangzi, and Xinyangzi pinched his fingers and counted, not only was there resentment in the village, but also a headless ghost was haunting, and he wanted the man in the village to be well, so he built a small temple in the northeast corner of the village.
The village chief was suspicious of Xinyangzi at this time, and my grandfather patted his chest and promised that if it didn't work this time, he would immediately ask Xinyangzi to return the food and money, and my grandfather also said that all the money for building a small temple would be paid by him, and the villagers would not be allowed to share a little.
As soon as the village chief heard this, he couldn't say anything more, so he hurriedly went to the outside of the village to invite two masons, and when it was dark, a small temple was built. During this period, when the temple was almost finished, my grandmother brought tea to two masons, and while they were resting for tea, my grandmother pressed the bullet into the north wall of the temple, which is behind the tablet.
After dinner in the evening, the village chief led a group of people to burn incense and worship in front of the small temple. However, there is one thing that this small temple is unacceptable to the villagers, that is, the tablet, which is connected with the wall and made of clay, which is not a place that the villagers can not accept, an unacceptable place, is the word on the tablet, which reads: "The position of the headless general of the national government army"
