()
When he came that day, there was only Cha Wenbin alone. Baidu search to see the latest chapters // [/ Text debut: Book River //
As a Taoist priest, his arrival often means that something unlucky has appeared in the village.
In rural areas, Taoist priests are always closely associated with gods and ghosts. Therefore, on this occasion, Cha Wenbin did not call Chaozi them.
At that time, Cha Wenbin's skills were already very well-known in several surrounding areas, but often because he usually went out for a few months, most of the people who wanted to find him couldn't find the door. It is precisely because of his appearance that a group of characters such as gods and witches have quickly become popular in our few areas, telling fortunes and divination, or naming and measuring characters.
In the era of reform and opening up, some people's thinking has begun to progress, and the spring breeze of modern medicine has also blown into our small mountain village. From the walls of the earthen toilets to the gates of the village committees, slogans against feudal superstition are printed everywhere, but some things still cannot be solved with medicine, such as the state of Ah Discovery.
In the earliest days, rural people invited Taoist priests to exorcise evil spirits, based on the fear of gods and ghosts. But in those years, it has begun to evolve into an attitude of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor, that is, the kind of patients who have no rut in the hospital or people who are very sick and helpless.
Cha Wenbin's arrival, to a certain extent, still attracted a large number of onlookers. His name is not based on pretending to be a ghost, but on word of mouth, and some have seen it with their own eyes.
He is different from ordinary Taoist priests or gods, he never collects money, and he will never make a big show. Even some simple things, such as incense paper, are brought by themselves, and if the owner's home is really difficult, he will give some money to others.
Therefore, in the local area, Cha Wenbin is not just a Taoist priest. If you want to invite him, for some people, it is difficult! For example, private companies have just begun to rise, and some people have a little money in their pockets, so they want to build a luxurious yin house, no matter how many people you take to invite, there will only be an unusually tall man at the door of the house to tell you: Brother Wen Bin is not there,
And for some people, if they want to invite Cha Wenbin to come, it is very simple, such as my father invited him to come and see Ah Fa this time. Cha Wenbin packed his things almost immediately and came back with Abba.
Ah Fa's house is also built on the mountain, the house sits in the north and faces south, in front of a stream, the family built a bridge with a simple wooden plank, people walk on the bridge, the bridge will "squeak, squeak" to make a chaotic sound, for fear that one will accidentally step on the somewhat rotten plank.
Under Abba's recommendation, Cha Wenbin frowned before he crossed the bridge and asked, "How long has the bridge in this person's house been built?" ”
Our village is along the river, and many families have to build a bridge to connect the road to the houses. People who have the conditions in the family can build cement structures, but most of them use this kind of simple wooden planks.
Ah Dad naturally didn't know why Cha Wenbin frowned, so he said: "This bridge has been built for a while, it rained heavily a while ago, the river was swollen, and a wooden board was washed away, and it was only refilled a week ago." ”
Cha Wenbin nodded thoughtfully, and then told my father: "When crossing the bridge, remember to take the left, don't take the board on the right, that board is a bit problematic." ”
Abba is also a smart person, since Cha Wenbin said so, he naturally has his reasons, and there is no harm in doing it.
After crossing the bridge, there were already some people in Ah Fa's family, all of them were brothers and sisters in their family, as well as next-door neighbors. Seeing that the Taoist priest was coming, they all got out of the way and asked Afana's mother-in-law to lead Cha Wenbin in.
As soon as he entered the door, a foul smell hit him, and Abba covered his nose and wanted to vomit. Seeing the scene of the visitor, Ah Fa's mother-in-law also said a little embarrassed: "No way, let my brother tie him up, otherwise he will bite." ”
As she spoke, the woman rolled up her sleeves and saw a row of purple scars on her arms. As soon as the woman saw the injury, she cried again: "I don't know what evil he has done, he was just in a daze a few days ago, and since yesterday, he has been biting." If it weren't for the third and eldest being there, I would have been bitten to death by him. ”
This stench is emitted by Ah Fa's feces and urine, because he was tied, and no one dared to loosen him, so he had to leave his urine and urine on the bed.
As soon as Cha Wenbin entered the room, his eyes met Ah Fa, Ah Fa's eyes revealed a fierceness, and Cha Wenbin's eyes had a hint of coldness. After facing each other like this for about a minute, Cha Wenbin's thumb lightly pushed the scabbard in his hand, and the seven-star sword only showed a few inches, and Ah Fa turned his head inward and stopped looking at it.
"Boil some hot water to wash him first, don't let go of your hands and feet, throw it directly into the vat, remember to put more wormwood in the bucket." After speaking, Cha Wenbin turned around and went out.
When their family thought about it, too, Ah Fa was so sloppy, who would dare to come forward. So the brothers gritted their teeth and cut the clothes on Ah Fa's body directly with scissors and stripped them naked. Although this Ah Fa is a cripple, but at this moment it seems to be infinitely powerful, and the four brothers almost didn't hold him down, and the posture was like being thrown into boiling water to scald pig's hair.
Ah Fa's mouth was stuffed with strips of rags, and because he was going to bite, he just screamed in his throat.
It was almost washed, and the room inside was cleaned up, and then it was wrapped in a blanket and sent back again.
Someone came to ask Cha Wenbin and said, "Mr. Cha, this person has been washed." ”
Unexpectedly, Cha Wenbin didn't mean to do it, but asked: "Where did the wooden plank added to the back of the bridge in his house come from?" ”
This question can only be answered by Ah Fa's mother-in-law, who said, "Caught in the river." ”
Indeed, in our place, the mountains are relatively steep, and when it rains heavily, some of the dead trees and rotten trees on the mountain can easily wash into this stream.
After hearing this, Cha Wenbin didn't continue, but turned his head and asked my father, "Have there been any powerful people here in the past?" ”
"I don't know, what's wrong?" Indeed, as far as our family is concerned, it was also moved by my grandfather's generation, and the total time of settling here is not more than a hundred years, and the biggest magnate is the landlord of the year.
However, the history of our village is too serious, for example, the General Temple is a typical remnant of the broken dynasty. Most of the people who live here now have migrated from other places, and the real aborigines have all died and run away during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Cha Wenbin said to the bridge: "The board I said just now, if I'm not mistaken, is Nanmu's. ”
"Kusunoki?"
"Yes, Nanmu, that is, golden silk Nanmu. Looking at its appearance, it should be the base of the coffin, although it has been a bit long, and it has been soaked in water for so long, you see, those few wooden nails are still fine. ”
Following Cha Wenbin's words, everyone took a closer look, and it was really the case, on this inconspicuous wooden board, there were indeed several symmetrical tenons, some of which had fallen off, but some were still there.
"If you don't mind, it's best to tie the ends of this board with hemp rope and hang it up, because it can't be left here anymore. Hashimoto is a thing that gathers yin, looking at the age of this board, it has to go up thousands of years, with such a thing to walk under the feet, how many people can walk steadily? ”
As soon as she heard that this thing was a coffin board, Afana's face turned white with fright. This thing was picked up by Ah Fa in the river, and it happened that a board on his bridge was washed away that day, so he saw a piece floating on the water. Because the board was quite heavy, it was only when the husband and wife worked together to lift it.
Foolish people will do some foolish things, and if they had turned this board over and looked at it, maybe they wouldn't have used it for it.
When everyone lifted the board, as soon as it was flipped over, everyone exploded at that time. The back of the bottom plate of this coffin is painted with vermilion lacquer, the quality of the lacquer is really good, after so many years, not even a crack can be seen, and it is still shiny when soaked in water.
What's more, there is also a dragon depicted with gold dust at the bottom of the body, which is about 1.5 meters long. The appearance of this dragon is not as complex as that of modern dragons, but the shape and lines are extremely beautiful, and at first glance it is the work of a top craftsman. Just these few pieces of information are enough to show that this board is indeed of extraordinary origin.
Not long after, the news that we found a precious wooden board spread, Ah Fa's house was surrounded by water, and there were still people who bought it at a high price with Ah Fa Na's mother-in-law, but Cha Wenbin only coldly threw away: "Whoever is not afraid of the death of the family should take it." ”
Just his words, those who wanted to get rich immediately dispelled the year, and in the afternoon, the three Chaozi also arrived. In terms of archaeology, he is still very good at it, he only glanced at it, and said: "Tsk, Brother Wen Bin, this thing is not simple, maybe this village is really a little bit of a surprise!" ”
