Chapter 14: The Mill Story

At this time, I suddenly remembered a story that my grandfather told me when I was a child, which happened before the reform and opening up. www.biquge.info There is such a person in our village, named Xu Fada, whose ancestors are specially engaged in carpentry work for the villagers of ten miles and eight townships, and make some red and brown beds, large wardrobes, eight immortal tables and other ordinary people's household devices. Craftsmen rely on their skills to eat, and their small lives are not bad.

When it comes to Xu Dada's generation, he is left with a man in the family, and he is called Shan Chuan on our side.

He also has four sisters at home, so he has become a little emperor since he was pampered by his family since he was a child.

In the blink of an eye, he is twenty-four years old, he doesn't do any work, and he is an old man, wandering around the village every day, and there is nothing serious, let alone carpentry.

The little boy, who is a door pier, cries and shouts for a daughter-in-law, and thinks about this all day long.

Xu Dafa is usually lazy to eat, and no girl refuses to marry him, and his father, Old Xu Tou, is also heartbroken, and entrusts someone to be a matchmaker all day long.

At that time, the people were poor, and the whole village shared a mill, and whoever wanted to grind corn beans or something would take turns to use it.

It is said that on this day, Xu Dafa walked around the east of the village to see whose girl was white and tender, and to see who was eating what good things were eating.

Suddenly the weather changed, and it rained heavily, and Xu Dafa had nowhere to hide from the rain, so there was such a mill nearby, so he trotted in.

Outside, there was a thunderstorm, and suddenly it was dark, and from the small window of the mill, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the sky was dark, and the pouring rain was endless.

Xu was bored, so he was stunned outside the window, and suddenly someone shouted behind him:

"Little brother, you also come in to shelter from the rain."

This sound startled Xu Dada, could it be that there were others in the house!

Or the voice of a young woman!

The light in the room is very dim, and there is only a huge grinding disc in front of Xu Dafa's eyes, this grinding disc is at least a battle long, how tall is a person, could it be that there is also a big girl who entered the house to hide from the rain behind the grinding plate? A little daughter-in-law covered in water? Could it be that the girl is embarrassed to show up without clothes?

This Xu Dafa is a little thoughtful, and this plot may be too much for anyone to think about, and said:

"Whose girl? I am the son of the old Xu family in the west of the village, and I came out to take care of my face. ”

There was only the noise of thunderstorms outside the door, Xu Dafa waited for a few minutes and no one spoke, so he asked again:

"Big sister, what's so embarrassing about this, where do you live, is it from our village?"

Suddenly there was a giggling laugh, which gave people goosebumps, and the girl finished laughing and spoke:

"My family is from Matouya, and the little woman's surname is Huang. Have you heard of it big brother? ”

Xu Dada thought for a while, there is no family surnamed Huang in this Matou Cliff. After all, it's a neighboring village, so if you don't know everything, you can know at least half of it. Xu Dafa asked again:

"Sister Huang, where do you live in Matou Cliff, why don't I know yet?"

At this time, the other party stopped talking again, Xu Dafa felt that this matter was a little strange, so he walked to the other side of the grinding plate, it didn't matter if he went, he found that something was wrong. He took a step, and the woman opposite him also walked, but it didn't sound like a person's footsteps, it sounded like a burlap bag full of grain being dragged along! Is it a dead man! Legs paralyzed on the ground and dragged by what force!

Xu Dafa was a little scared at this time, so he quickened his pace, but no matter how he walked, the people on the other side of the grinding plate also circled around at the same speed as him.

The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, quickened his pace, and shouted:

"Who the hell are you? Don't mess with me! ”

At this time, there was a burst of giggling laughter on the other side, and he laughed:

"Big brother, our two families used to live next door! Hee-hee! We're all right! I like you, be my friend, don't go! ”

This voice was mixed with this yin energy.

Xu Dafa hurriedly thought about their neighbors, nonsense, how can there be a surname Huang?

Xu shouted:

"Are you a human or a ghost? Don't scare me! ”

The other party stopped talking again, Xu Dafa was already very scared in his heart, he wanted to go out from the main gate, but he was afraid that once he walked towards the main entrance, the woman behind the grinding plate would suddenly follow. I can only play hide and seek here, and keep circling around the mill, which is safer for the time being. At this time, he looked at the window and thought of a way, the window was not big, it was made of wood, and if he broke the wooden collar of the window, he could barely get out of a person. So every time he turned around, he would hit the window with a fist, and after half an hour, the collar of the window was completely broken, and of course Xu Fafa's fist was bleeding.

Xu Dada saw the right moment and used all his strength to get out of the mill through the window. It was still stormy outside, and Xu Dafa, who was covered in blood, ran home lifelessly, and he didn't dare to turn his head, and vaguely heard a woman shouting behind him:

"Brother, don't go, I'm good to you! Xu Dada, you come back to me! Give me back! Hahahaha。。。。。。 ”

Xu Fa ran wildly, shouting that there was a ghost all the way, and fainted when he touched his own door.

The people in this village are all acquaintances, and after a while, all the nosy people, neighbors, relatives and friends rushed to Lao Xutou's house.

The village hygienist poured a bowl of hot ginger soup on Xu Dafa, and then pinched people, and Xu Dafa woke up. As soon as I told the people in the village, everyone was surprised, I didn't hear that there was a person surnamed Huang in the neighboring village, so the village chief organized everyone to go to the mill to see who was doing the blame?

As a result, when they arrived at the mill, they frightened everyone present, and a female corpse was stuck in the window of the mill! His face was pale, bleeding from seven holes, he was smiling, and his eyes were staring straight ahead.

Someone in the village knows that this woman is a girl from Matouya, who went out to the market a few days ago and never came home, everyone is looking for it, and it turns out that she died in this mill. But this woman is not surnamed Huang either, which is strange, could it be that the corpse has also changed her surname.

Later, the woman's family came to collect the body, and her family also said that the daughter was born weak and sickly and could not stand the fright. The woman's affairs began to be divided, everyone is not talking about the same version, the feelings are all made up, and they are spread falsely, even if she is a good girl, she has become a broken shoe. I guess if I had to go to the Public Security Bureau for an autopsy in modern times, the autopsy report would be a natural death such as a sudden heart attack or cerebral thrombosis.

But three days later, Lao Xu Tou found out that something was wrong with his son!

Xu Dafa is like falling into an evil spirit, living normally during the day, and when the time comes, he will be like a ghost, fetching water to wash his face, put on clean clothes, and run to the mill to circle around the mill. His father, Lao Xu Tou, secretly followed him and found that he didn't know who to talk to in the mill, and there were people who talked and laughed, which scared Lao Xu Tou a lot.

When his son became like this, he was very distressed and frightened when he became a father. Hurriedly went to the village chief to discuss the way, the village chief said that there is a Taoist temple called Shenxian Hall in Dahaiyan Village, and the Taoist elder Sun Lao Taoist specializes in subduing demons and eliminating evil, not curing vulgar diseases, and asked him to see if he can help. When Lao Xu heard this, it was a good idea, it was a Taoist priest to cure this ghost, so he hurried home and prepared to bring a fat chicken and half a bag of rice to invite this Sun Lao Dao.

As soon as Lao Xu Tou was about to catch chickens, a white-haired old man entered the courtyard gate.

I saw this old man with kind eyebrows, high nose bridge, white and black beard, dressed in a light blue robe, white mixed yuan sideburns, a pure yang crown on his head, stepping on ten square shoes, holding a horsetail Buddha dust, a seven-star cinnabar mahogany sword behind his back, and a large snakeskin pocket hanging on his waist. Before Daddy Xu could speak, this old man spoke:

"Is your surname Xu?"

Lao Xu nodded and asked:

"Teacher, what is your surname?"

The old man said:

"Shenxian Hall, Sun Dezhang, uninvited."

When Lao Xu heard that it was Sun Daochang who was coming, he hurriedly invited him into the house and poured good tea. Lao Xu Tou was not ambiguous, went straight to the point, and asked Sun Laodao:

"Dao Chief, do you already know about my son?"

Sun Laodao smiled and said:

"Of course I know, let me ask you first, have you offended anyone before?"

After thinking about it, this ancestor has been a carpenter for generations, and he has never deceived anyone, and he has no enemies, how can he offend people? ”

Cui Laodao asked again:

"Think about whether your family once had a neighbor surnamed Huang."

Old Xu Tou said with an affirmative face:

"Absolutely not, let alone neighbors, there is no surname Huang in our village."

Cui Laodao's face changed, and he said seriously:

"On the day your son Xu Dafa was born, did he cause any trouble?"

After Sun Laodao's reminder, Lao Xu suddenly remembered that something had indeed happened on that day twenty-four years ago.

At that time, Lao Xu's daughter-in-law had a difficult birth, and he was anxiously circling the yard outside the door, and the tearing howl of his daughter-in-law made him very restless. At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the chicken coop, and he saw a long-haired weasel crouching next to the chicken coop. A burst of anger suddenly came up in his heart, although the elders said that the weasel was Wong Tai Sin and could not fight, but at this moment, Lao Xu was very calm, and he picked up the scythe from the ground and threw it at the weasel. The carpenter had done a lot of work, and he was really accurate, and he cut off one of the weasel's legs with a scythe, and the weasel limped out of the gate. Lao Xu immediately followed out and found that the weasel had burrowed into a hole in the back wall of his house.

Lao Xu thought to himself, you little weasel, take this time to make trouble, count you unlucky, it turns out that the nest is under the wall of my house, see if I don't kill you. When he returned to the yard and lifted the iron kettle full of boiling water, he poured it all into the hole in the ground, and heard a painful wail inside. That's not all, I'm going to plug the whole hole with earth. Just about to shovel the soil, at this time there was a baby's cry in the house, which made Lao Xu immediately smile, threw the shovel, and ran into the house to hug the child.

After so many years, I forgot about the weasel hole, and I have long forgotten it.

With this memory, Lao Xu Tou felt that something was wrong, and told this Sun Laodao about the ins and outs of this matter.

Sun Laodao was silent for a while, sighed and said:

"Back then, this weasel was already on the verge of enlightenment, and was beaten back to its original form by your sickle and a pot of boiling water. The Huang family and your ancestors have been good neighbors for generations, and your chickens are not missing, so why bother to kill them all. It seems that after more than 20 years, Wong Tai Sin has cultivated to perfection again, and is ready to take revenge! ”

At that time, the common people were still very superstitious, and Lao Xu immediately knelt down for Sun Laodao and begged him to save his son.

Sun Laodao finally agreed, but the price was not small, two old hens plus a bag of flour, which was sky-high at the time, and the local people generally ate pancakes and green onions, and they had to wait until the New Year to eat a white flour steamed bun!

That night, the moon and stars were scarce, and the lights in the village were extinguished, and at this time, Xu Dafa was the same as a few days ago, washed and cleaned, dressed neatly, and went straight to the mill as soon as the time came.

Sun Laodao and Lao Xu Tou secretly followed behind, this Sun Laodao was carrying a snakeskin bag in his hand, and he didn't know what magic weapon was in it.

After Sun Laodao and Xu Tou waited for Xu Da to enter the mill, they secretly listened to the movement by the window.

Good guy, this Xu Dafa was singing, talking and laughing inside, and he was chatting very happily, and he didn't hear anyone talking to him. Sun Laodao motioned to Lao Xu Tou to wait in place, not to go in, and then took out a handful of soybeans from the snakeskin pocket, and exhaled a long breath on the beans with his mouth.

Don't look at Sun Laodao's ancient years, he acted very quickly and kicked the door open.

Read it aloud:

"Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, Yuqing has a life, scattering beans into soldiers, all subordinates, 100,000 elites, demon star ghosts, ancient cave elves, raise their heads and look at each other, bow their heads and listen to them, obey the order to subdue the demons, order me to execute, quickly subdue the law, urgent as the law, pardon!"

After saying that, he threw a handful of beans into it, and then lit a Taoist talisman, only to see a flash of white light in the house, and a big weasel roared away from the window.

"This weasel is not deep, just trying to deceive your son and suck your son's spirit, if after a long time, your son will be physically and mentally exhausted and insane, but it did not harm your son's life, let it go. Be forgiving and forgiving. ”

Lao Xu nodded, and then asked:

"What's the matter with that female corpse? And what will happen to this weasel again in the future? ”

Sun Laodao smiled and said:

"The woman originally came here to rest, but her longevity had arrived, and she died of a sudden illness. It just so happened that Wong Tai Sin used this female corpse to hook your son's soul. Starting today, you will eat half a lifetime of glutinous rice for your son for 7749 days in a row, and it will definitely return to the past. Tonight, Huang Xian was frightened by my method of sprinkling beans into soldiers, I am afraid that I will hide in the mountains, and I will not dare to come out to do evil in this hundred years. ”

That's the story.,The memory of elementary school is only vague.,I personally think that the female corpse was because of the lightning on a rainy day and the living person had a static reaction.,So I've been following that Xu Dafa around the millstone in circles.。 And the thing about Wong Tai Sin, I thought it was a story when I was a child.

At this moment, along the way, I feel that what my grandfather said is not false at all, the world is big, there are no surprises, what my grandfather said must be true and effective, the two zongzi opposite me are facing me like this, and I am circling in circles.

It's not running, it's not running.

Suddenly, I heard someone behind me shouting to me:

"Little stone, don't look back!"
