Chapter 105: The Star-shaped Stone Pile
The next day, I was ready to go to Catherine's house early in the morning to solve Catherine's problem, but as soon as I went out, I found Liu Yuwei standing at the door, as if waiting for someone.
Not sure why. I haven't told Liu Yuwei about helping Catherine from beginning to end, but I can't say why in the end: my own feeling is that Liu Yuwei will definitely not be happy when she hears about it.
As for why I won't be happy, I can't say either.
I originally saw Liu Yuwei at the door, and I planned to leave later, but she saw me with her eyes raised, and I had no choice but to greet her.
Morning, what are you doing here? I said hello and asked.
I'm not waiting for me, Liu Yuwei is a little dodgy.
What's the situation?
Who are you waiting for?
Before I could finish my sentence, a voice behind me rang out: Wait for me? Do you have questions?
I looked back: Zhang Gui and Yang Li were standing behind me.
Both guys were dressed in jeans and plain clothes and looked like they were ready to go shopping.
I asked Yuwei to go out to jump, brother, are you going?
Bundy? I was stunned and shook my head: I didn't like the atmosphere there. It is the greatest support for us, thank you!
In fact, I don't really like Liu Yuwei dodging as if she had been knocked into a secret, but I also knew what she was going to do, so I looked at Liu Yuwei with a smile and said: My brother also just came here. It's shorter than you, so you'll be able to play with him. Actually, I'm a very boring person, I don't like anything that young people like, don't be like me.
That's it, Yuwei, can you just take me to have fun? Zhang Gui on the side said in a pleading tone.
No problem, but will Yang Li go too? Liu Yuwei looked at Yang Li in jeans a little strangely.
Hehe, he wants to feel the atmosphere too! Zhang Gui laughed: He is basically inseparable from me, you can rest assured! No one could tell that he wasn't human at all.
I was also very curious, looked at Yang Li and asked: You can also dance?
I'm doing a good ghost jump. Yang Li said expressionlessly.
Zombies dance ghost dances, how do I feel so harmonious
Okay, you guys go, Mo Qilin hasn't been found yet, be careful with everything, even though this guy is already wanted. I nodded.
Liu Yuwei seemed a little dissatisfied, but she still walked outside with them.
Watching Liu Yuwei and Zhang Guipan talking, the two went out together. I don't know why I always have a very unhappy feeling when I look at their backs.
But Liu Yuwei is gone, I called Catherine directly.
After making an appointment with Catherine, I met her at the school gate and headed towards the market.
Catherine seemed to be in a good mood, and smiled happily when she saw me: My colleague called me in the morning and said that Gordon had left, and he looked very embarrassed, and he simply ran away with the fastest speed he could, what did you do last night to make this guy leave so obediently?
Hehe, nothing, just had a good talk with him. I laughed.
Just talking? Catherine looked at me and smiled, but didn't ask any more.
Clever girl.
Arriving at the farmer's market near the school, Catherine went directly to a chicken vendor: "Boss, have I ordered the chicken?"
The vendor, a middle-aged man in his 40s, immediately nodded and grabbed a big for Catherine.
That chicken was very large. It looks like it weighs 8-9 pounds, and the finish of the feathers is very good. The cockscomb is ruddy, and it is also solid when it stands up, and it is indeed a good rooster.
Seeing that I nodded, Catherine immediately bought the chicken, and after I asked the boss to tie the chicken legs, I left the market with the chicken wings and the chicken.
Zhang Heng, in fact, I don't really understand, what is the use of using this chicken to drip blood in the room? Catherine looked at the big rooster and asked curiously.
Around the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties in China, chickens began to become sacred objects that guarded the door and warded off evil spirits.
The Jin Dynasty's "Collecting Memories" said that chickens can ward off evil spirits, so that the evil of the demon disaster group can not be harmed, and the ugly ones will naturally retreat; And remember the customs of the time: New Year's Day every year for today's people. or carved wood and cast gold, or a picture, for a chicken, and placed on doors and windows. The Southern Dynasty's "Jing Chu Years Chronicle" contains the customs of the first day of the first lunar month: sticking a picture on the chicken household, hanging reeds on it, inserting peach charms on its side, and a hundred ghosts are afraid of it.
This custom has been passed down to this day, and the villages in Datong, Shanxi Province, still retain the ancient custom of pasting paper-cut roosters on the door of the Spring Festival. In the north and south of the river, there are traditional New Year paintings of "Chicken King Town House", which are posted indoors. On the screen, the big rooster has a golden corolla, a righteous body, and a worm with his head held high, indicating that he will ward off evil spirits.
And it is generally believed that the rooster has the function of crowing, which can expel the ferocity of the night and call for the dawn to come, so it also has the role of a pioneer.
In fact, in ancient China, the animals that could ward off evil spirits were all males, and they were all males with super combat effectiveness: for example, lions and tigers or something, of course, if the combat effectiveness was not very fierce, then the male function was very fierce: for example, the rooster could mate with 40 hens each time he was in estrus, and so on, which was probably the simple materialism of the working people
After explaining the role of chickens, Catherine and I went to Catherine's bachelor dormitory.
It didn't make a difference here, and after looking at the orientation of the room, I began to use the rooster to ward off evil in the main traffic of this house.
Because of the size and height of the floors, the current houses generally do not have the kind of design that can penetrate the hall: that is, the wind can pass directly through your home, from one side to the other. The current design is basically a closed structure, so it is easy to form a wind with nowhere to go in the house, forming a dead wind pocket.
This situation does not matter in the short term, and in the long term, it is very bad for people's physical and mental health, and the solution is very simple: blow the air in your home regularly, change the air in your home, and also need to be disinfected regularly
And Catherine's house is a typical representative of this type, it has only been two days without being occupied, and as soon as you enter, it gives people a feeling of life.
The so-called feeling of life is the smell you smell when you walk in a house when it is uninhabited for a long time: there is no breath of living people.
And this feeling is only two days since the house has been unoccupied, and now I kind of believe Catherine's words.
Looking around, I began to look for the central axis and orientation of the house, then looked at the main traffic of the house, and after basically deciding, I went to Catherine's kitchen and found the kitchen knife, ready to start killing chickens.
Catherine had probably never killed any living creatures, and was a little frightened to look at me, but she was bold enough to stand by the side.
First of all, I plucked the hair on a designated part of the chicken's neck, exposing the blood vessels on its neck, and then lifted the chicken upside down and gently cut a shallow hole along the blood vessels with a kitchen knife.
Chicken blood immediately gushed out.
Immediately carry the chicken upside down and drip chicken blood all over the room, especially in some small corners where no one goes to it.
Watching the chickens move as they dripped, Catherine covered one ear and mouth with a stunned expression.
While dripping chicken blood, I noticed that in some corners, the dripping chicken blood was quickly absorbed by the floor, while other places were not.
After looking at a few corners, I immediately noticed that they were all on the central axis of the house, and this central axis was facing the balcony window.
It seems that the problem of those piles of rocks is really serious.
After dripping all the blood, I looked at the stones on the balcony again, turned back to Catherine, and said, "After the demon mirror is hung up, you can prepare to come back to live."
Thank you, but I'm actually quite scared Catherie smiled bitterly, especially if you make me even more scared, this house is full of blood! Catherine said apologetically.
In fact. If you don't think about it, nothing like this will help you. I smiled and said, "Okay, it's almost over, I'll go first."
Catherine shook her head and said, "This is leaving?"
There are other things, just don't worry too much, if there are any questions, just call me.
Seeing that I was leaving, Catherine pitifully hesitated and said, "Okay, you be careful."
Walking out of Catherine's room, I thought about it and decided to investigate for myself what that rubble pile was.
It was not yet visible in Catherine's room, and I found that the place was on a small cliff that was difficult for ordinary people to reach, and it was difficult to walk everywhere from above or from the face.
Looking around, I decided that I might as well find a way to climb the rock.
After a lot of effort, I finally got to the vicinity of those things.
There were five piles of stones, arranged in the shape of a star, and each stone was almost the same size, and looked quite neat, so I must negate my previous judgment: this was not a peasant's grave, but something deliberately arranged, but I still need to confirm what it is.
I have never seen a mausoleum with this kind of layout, and the middle of those large stones is filled with white plaster and other things, and the repair is quite exquisite, each stone pile is about 1.2 meters in diameter and more than 1 meter high.
After a careful search of the neighborhood, I didn't find any useful clues. But there's no way I'm going to take this thing apart right now and see what's inside.
It is estimated that you still have to ask Lao Song or Grandpa to understand what this thing is.
