Chapter 100: Lehi (text)
If you are not married, you can still be considered a man? Aren't the two of them afraid of tarnishing Li Yan's reputation by saying this?
However, they didn't seem to want to tell us more about Li Yan and Li Hai, and we were not in a hurry to ask, and we would know about these things later by asking Li Yan or other villagers. ()
"Is Lehi still in the village?" Meng Changqing asked.
Li Yan's parents shook their heads and replied: "No, he is not from here, but he will come here every month or so to drive the corpse, if you count the days, it is estimated that it will only be a few days." ”
After asking other questions, Li Yan's parents were reluctant to talk to us more, and finally simply asked about Ma Chengyu.
When it comes to Ma Chengyu, Li Yan's parents have no scruples, and they talked to us about Ma Chengyu, they have great respect for Ma Chengyu, saying that he is a well-known god who can pinch and calculate, change his life, and even bring the dead back to life.
However, the old man Ma Chengyu died a few years ago, and no one buried him after his death, and it was the villagers here who buried him in the tomb.
These are not important, he said another sentence to attract our attention, Li Yan's father said: "Li Hai is Ma Chengyu's apprentice, you can intercept him here in a few days, he is also very capable, you should have something to ask Ma Chengyu for help, looking for Li Hai is the same." ”
I didn't stay in Li Yan's house for too long before I came out, and after I came out, I asked the villagers about Ma Chengyu's old man's residence, and I was surprised to learn that the dead body shop we saw when we came in was Ma Chengyu's residence, and it was also the dead body shop that Li Hai changed Ma Chengyu's old man's house into.
According to the villagers, Li Hai thought that Ma Chengyu was a man of enlightenment, and the house he lived in had the effect of driving away evil spirits and avoiding evil, so he changed it into a corpse shop, which was used by the people who drove the corpses to rest halfway, and could also prevent the dead corpses from turning into zombies.
The corpse chasing culture here is very popular, and almost every half a month, a special corpse catcher will pass by here, and one of the corpse catchers in Lehi.
However, the corpses in other more remote places were driven, because they were too remote, and the descendants were afraid that it would not be very convenient for the old man to go to the grave after being buried in those places, so they would entrust the corpse chaser to transport the corpse to a slightly easier place.
However, Lehi actually changed his master's house into a corpse shop, which is too unfilial, there are many ways to exorcise evil spirits and avoid evil, and there is no need to change his master's house into a corpse shop.
After learning about the situation with the villagers, Zhao Sansan used the money to find a place to rest in the village.
Before entering the house, he instructed us: "A corpse chaser has come during the day today, and he will rest in the corpse shop during the day, and he will leave tonight. ”
"The corpse catcher does this every time he walks by?" I asked.
"Not really, it's just that the occasional dead person will be transformed, but our corpse chasers are very good and can generally subdue them. The thresholds in our village are generally built relatively high, just to prevent those things from entering the house. The old man said, pointing to the threshold outside.
I nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, I haven't seen anyone else drive out corpses, but it shouldn't be strange to be able to have so many corpses, and occasionally turn into a few.
After entering the house and sitting down, the old man poured us a few cups of tea, and Meng Changqing then asked the old man about Li Yan.
This old man knew Li Yan, and as soon as he heard us mention Li Yan, his feelings immediately rose, and he said to us with a cigarette pouch: "Li Yan, that girl is so pitiful, when she was still alive, how many people in the village came to ask for marriage, but her parents did not agree, saying that those black loaches in the village are not worthy of that girl, in fact, I also think, look at those young people in the village, one has no culture, and the other has no ability, where is the girl worthy." ”
"After those people invited some matchmakers to come to the door and mentioned their relatives more than ten times, they were all rejected, and no one came to the door again, and everyone knew that they were not. The last one to propose marriage was Ma Chengyu, he was his apprentice Li Haiti's kiss, but this time the girl's parents actually agreed, and tried their best to match them. But the girl didn't agree. In the end, there was really no way, so Lehi thought of a way, he drew a talisman and let the girl's parents put it in the girl's shoes, and said that within a few days, the girl would change her mind, and it didn't take long after the charm was put in, someone in the village saw the girl fooling around with other young people in the village every day, and her parents were also a fool, and they really believed that the girl was fooling around outside. In my opinion, it was the evil method that Lehi did, and he probably wanted to make that girl's reputation stink, and then let that girl follow him with all his heart. But not long after the others saw the girl fooling around with the people in the village, the girl was found dead in the house, and she committed suicide. ”
I was angry just listening to it, isn't this thing obvious, it's all that Li Hai made a ghost, Li Yan's parents are so ignorant, I can only say that Li Yan met the two of them, it was Li Yan's sorrow.
Of course, this is just an angry point, and the other point is the idea of Li Yan's parents' arranged marriage, what age is this, at the beginning of the last century, free love was advocated, and as Li Yan's parents, even if Li Yan really fooled around with others, shouldn't they be on Li Yan's side. Judging from their attitude today, they still think that Li Yan's incident back then had lost their face.
"Such a person is simply a vain parent." I can't get angry, so I can only vent my anger verbally.
Several of us here were very angry when they heard this, but Meng Changqing looked calm and didn't express any opinion on this, but said: "When I entered the village, I saw that the village was surrounded by thyme, there are too many such things that can paralyze people's nerves, coupled with the power of charms, it is not strange that people can hallucinate, and the things they see about Li Yan should be hallucinations." In addition, thyme has an antiseptic effect, this village is full of thyme all over the mountains, and the bottom of the tomb is also full of thyme rhizomes, and the corpse is buried there, and it will not rot, perhaps someone discovered this, and used the tomb in the village to raise the corpse, and when the corpse is raised, they will be transported to another place. This man has nothing to do with Lehi. ”
After listening to Meng Changqing's words, I had to sigh that Master is Master, no matter what the situation is, he sees more things than us.
After hearing this, Zhao Sansan also scolded: "This Li Hai is really not a thing, he actually uses this method to persecute the girl, but if you meet him, you have to spare his life first, and let him remove the Tai Chi noble star on Zhaowen's body first." ”
The purpose of our trip is this, naturally we have to complete Zhao Sansan's affairs first, and nodded to him.
The old man didn't understand what Meng Changqing and Zhao Sansan were saying, so he went out again with his sickle, and let us stay in the house for a while.
Not long after the old man left, Zhao Sansan suddenly stood up suddenly, looked out the door and almost shouted, "Old beggar." ”
I looked over and saw a familiar figure at the door, it was really the old beggar we had met outside the hospital.
The old beggar was astonished to see us, and was stunned for a moment before he came over and asked, "Fat sir, young man, why are you here?" ”
"How did you get here?" Zhao Sansan asked rhetorically.
After hearing this, the old beggar said: "I calculated that someone will come here to look for me in the next few days, and I will come back. ”
"You are the old man Ma Chengyu?" I asked uncertainly.
The old beggar nodded.
"Aren't you dead? The grave is still there. ”
I figured it out after I asked this sentence, the second grandmother's numerology was learned from him, the second grandmother can change his life, he can naturally change his life, and the grave is estimated to be the same as the grave that the second grandmother gave us at that time, it was for the purpose of changing lives.
Sure enough, the old beggar listened to the same explanation as I thought.
After we finished speaking, Meng Changqing and He Xiaoxiao stepped forward to salute the old beggar, and the old beggar also responded with a salute, and finally looked at Meng Changqing and Xiaoxiao for a while, and only after a long time did he exclaim: "Strange materials, you two are strange materials." ”
