Grandma's compass did not point to the moth's grave, but pointed straight to another grave next to it. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info this is strange, all the previous signs show that the little moth and the ghost made those strange things, as well as the illness of the second son, but now the spirit is not in the little moth grave, can this tomb still run away with long legs on its own?

At this time, everyone was sitting around and resting, while the messengers were bandaging the sunspot, and only Grandma Tai, Grandma, the village chief, the second son's father, and Xiao Wu were studying their next move.

And what's going on with the grave next to it? Several people invariably remembered a story that had been passed down in the village for many years.

Our village is located on the north bank of the inland river not far from the mouth of the sea, and it was an important gathering place for salt transportation during the Qing Dynasty, and the entire Qing Dynasty royal family and Beijing City relied on us for salt.

Although our village does not make a living from transporting salt, the prosperity of salt transportation also affects the prosperity of our small village. In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, speech was very strict, not because "Qingfeng is illiterate, why bother flipping books." "Did the condemnation of capital and condemnation happen?

That year, just in time for the entrance examination, talents and lifters from all over the country went to Beijing to catch the exam. Because the transportation was quite inconvenient at that time, some people from the south had to wait for more than half a year to arrive in Beijing, while some came in advance and lived near Beijing to wait for the time for the exam.

Although we are not under the roots of the imperial city, there are also many students who are preparing for the exam to stay with us for a period of time in the exam year. As a result, during that time, the sound of reading and chanting would often be heard in the village, making a village that made a living from farming seem to be extraordinarily literate. Not to mention that the environment changes people, just because of these passing students, the culture and education of our entire village have presented a positive atmosphere.

It is said that one year, two students from the village who were rushing to take the exam came to live in a family in the village, this family was surnamed Wang, and the old Wang's family was born in poverty, looking forward to someone to board, which was also a good income for their family, so he always looked forward to having students come to his house to stay.

The two students came from the south, and they had been walking for almost a year, and they even used several umbrellas during the stop-and-go, not to mention clothes, shoes and hats. The two of them came together, lived together at Lao Wang's house, and got up together in the morning to read and write, and they didn't know that these two people thought they were brothers.

Lao Wang was very moved when he saw these two so studious, and thought of how good it would be if his children could work so hard and have such opportunities, so he looked for opportunities to get close to these two little brothers every day.

After a long time, everyone has nothing to talk about, and the scenery of the south makes Lao Wang yearn for it from the poems, paintings, and articles of these two people. However, when Lao Wang mentioned the cold in the north and the snow in the north, these two people were envious, and they always looked forward to seeing a real heavy snow, so when they chatted, they also formed a deep friendship.

At that time, if you want to get ahead, you can only go to study, read more books, and if you are lucky, you can get a fame in the examination, and you can become an official, which is the ultimate pursuit of scholars. Especially for the Han people, under the social conditions at that time, there was room for rise only if they wanted to gain fame, so many students regarded the entrance examination as the greatest pursuit of life and regarded it as life.

These two people are the same, their family backgrounds are not good, and they hope to change the life of the family and their own destiny through studying. The two of them met during the township exam, so they also came to Beijing to catch the exam.

The prosperity of Beijing has not yet been seen, but the seafood at the mouth of the sea can be enjoyed by these two people, at that time there are many things in the sea, we want to eat the season's big crab or something is easy, and the taste is absolutely authentic, even the common people have their own set of experience on how to make seafood.

After eating the seafood, these two people often write poems to commemorate this day of rushing for the exam. Whenever I eat crabs and fill my mouth with poems, I always amuse the audience next to me.

But suddenly, one day, as soon as Lao Wang opened the gate and was about to go to the field to dig some sweet potatoes and come back, a team of officers and soldiers came to the door and said that they would take away one of the talents. This made Lao Wang a little surprised, and he thought, what kind of mistakes would these two scholars make?

But the officers and soldiers couldn't help but take away the Xiucai surnamed Lin, but the strange thing was that the other boarding candidate in the room was fine at all, but when the officers and soldiers took Lin Xiucai, he didn't even show his face. After the officers and soldiers took Lin Xiucai away, Lao Wang went to ask another candidate: "After all, you came together and lived together, why did such a thing happen?" ”

The rest of the examinees just smiled and didn't speak, which made Lao Wang even more puzzled.

The day before the exam, Lao Wang heard that the arrested Lin student was beheaded because he was involved in a literary prison, but in fact, when the news came, the Lin student had already been disposed of. But the strange thing is that since the other candidate was arrested, he suddenly seemed to be a different person, always talking to himself with a lot of heart, and finally didn't even go to the exam.

Later, there were rumors in the village that this student betrayed Student Lin, and secretly told the government that Student Lin had said something unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty. But after Lin Xuexue was arrested that day, he never admitted that he had said something unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty, so Lin Xiu died unjustly. So the ghost began to come to the village to ask for the life of another Xiucai.

This rumor made the old king shudder, because they lived in their own home, if something really happened, wouldn't they be able to live here? In order to verify his idea, Lao Wang was extra careful at night, and looked through the window to another student house in the boarding house from time to time.

The first half of the night was fine, just when Lao Wang was about to go to relieve himself and then go to sleep, he saw a figure flickering and entered the boarding house. Lao Wang carefully leaned to the window and looked in, it didn't matter what he saw, the soul of the fifth child was almost scared, it turned out that there was a person in the room, the figure just now was actually the corpse of Lin Xuexue, a headless corpse. Some people asked, what about his head? Don't forget, he was beheaded, and he didn't have any relatives or anything to get there, so he had no head.

Lao Wang saw that the scene in the house was like this, one of the living people nodded and bowed there, and he didn't dare to raise his head, while the headless one was gesturing to the living one with high spirits.

The next day, Lao Wang asked what was going on, and at first the candidate was reluctant to answer, but Lao Wang had been grinding for a long time, and he had to say it.

It turned out that he did tell the government in order to have one less competitor, and he didn't think about the consequences, but the actual consequences would cost someone else's life. After that Lin Xiucai was beheaded, he was unwilling, so he had to let another Xiucai find his head, otherwise he would not be allowed to sleep every night.

The king asked, "Then where is his head?" ”

"It should be near the execution site, but no one dares to ask for it." Another student said.

In this case, Lao Wang felt that he should also help Lin Xuezi find his head in various aspects, and he couldn't let him not get the whole corpse.

So Lao Wang told another student to pay attention to a red thread tied from him when Lin Xuexue came back tonight.

Sure enough, in the evening, he came again, and Lao Wang could see the two communicating with paper and pen through the window, and thought to himself that he must know where the other end was.

Early the next morning, Lao Wang took the student to look for the red line, and found the red line in a hole in the west of the village, so the two dug the hole, and finally found that the other end of the line was tied to a corpse, which was already a little rigid.

After finding the real one, the two got up and went to the town again, and after several inquiries, they finally found the place where the execution was carried out, and after another day of searching, they finally found Lin Xuezi's head in a bush.

After wrapping their heads in red cloth, the two men went to the cave in the west of the village, took out the corpse, put it on again, and stitched it with a few needles to prevent it from falling off again.

After everything was arranged, a grave was dug on the spot and the body was buried. Since that day, people have never seen the figure of the informant, Lao Wang's rent has not been paid, and he is also unhappy, but there is a vast sea of people, where to find this person. After a long time, everyone regarded this incident as a legend, but whenever the rice was ripe, when everyone went to the rice field to threak rice, they would look at the deserted grave on the edge of the west end from time to time, as if they were looking at an old story.

And now the grave pointed to by Grandma Tai's compass is the grave of Lin Xiucai, who was once told and killed. Since the compass pointed at it so strongly, it means that the beheaded Xiucai must be extremely resentful, and after a hundred years of changes, I really don't know what happened inside.

Grandma Tai said: "If you want to know why this tomb is so resentful, you have to go inside to see it, otherwise it is useless to just think about it."

Everyone was silent again, and Grandma Tai also knew everyone's mood, but since she came here, no matter who made trouble, she had to be even, otherwise who knows how to get better about the second son's illness?

"Dig a grave!" Grandma Tai gave an order, and each group began to act.

First of all, Xiao Wu took a group to pull out the grass on the grave first, and then the village chief took the second group to dig the grave with a shovel. The third group stood by just in case, while the messenger took the black dog to the periphery. A huge grave digging began, I wonder if it is still the Qing Dynasty Lin Xiucai? If so, after so many years, why is there such a big resentment? Then why did the moth and him reappear again and again in a time and space?
