7, the soul of the Han family
When the two of them returned to the village, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.
Tang Hui very gentlemanly asked Zhu Yue to solve the problem of food and clothing in the small restaurant in the village, and Zhu Yue also chatted with the villagers in the restaurant about the woods in the back mountain by the way.
There is an idiom called talking about the color change of the tiger, and in this village, this idiom is about to become talking about the color change of the forest. As soon as Zhu Yue mentioned the woods in the back mountain, the proprietress of the restaurant frowned, in her words, the woods were not clean, and the house in the forest had also had an accident.
Since there is something, Zhu Yue must ask to the end, and the proprietress did not hide it, so she told Zhu Yue everything she knew about the woods.
Things have to start from the time when the village was first built after the liberation, when the village was not as large as it is now, and the area behind the mountain was also a barren forest, and there were no big mansions at all.
At that time, there was a family surnamed Han in the village, and the ancestors of the old Han family were all hunters, and the family lived a good life, and the people were also very prosperous. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Han family reclaimed a large amount of wasteland because of the large number of people, so that the Han family became a landlord.
At the time of liberation, it didn't matter whether they were rich or poor, everyone's life was about the same, and the so-called rich people were nothing more than eating one more bite of food than other people's families, and they could usually mix a mouthful of meat to eat every once in a while. However, the situation of the Han family is completely different, their ancestors are all hunters, and eating meat is very common for them, plus the fields that were reclaimed later, the Han family has become the richest man in the village, and many villagers will even go to the Han family's fields to help work.
At that time, the old man of the Han family had five children, of which the eldest and fifth were men, and the other three were girls. As the old man of the Han family got older and older, his legs gradually began to step into the coffin, and the distribution of these houses and land in the family became a big problem.
The eldest son felt that he did the most work, and there were many people in his own family, so he should be given the most land.
But Old Man Han liked his youngest son very much, so he gave the youngest son the most haode piece of land, and also gave his younger son several big houses.
Such a distribution method will definitely cause dissatisfaction, not only the eldest son of the Han family is unhappy, but the other three daughters are also unhappy. So after the old man Han died, the eldest brother and three sisters of the Han family began to squeeze out the fifth child, and even said bad things about the fifth child to the villagers behind his back.
After a long time, the fifth child felt that he couldn't get along with these brothers and sisters at home, so he simply moved to the back mountain and built a big mansion by himself, and then lived his own life there. Because there is still a lot of land to plant, Lao Wu also hired some long-term workers, and these people also live in that big house.
Originally, life was quite stable, and when the corps came to reclaim the Great Northern Wilderness, it didn't have much impact on the people of the Han family, especially Han Lao Wu.
But by the time of the Cultural Revolution, Han Lao Wu's good luck finally ran out.
Landlords, ***, capitalists...... and so on, all the messy hats were buckled on the heads of his family, and in less than five years, the originally prosperous Han family suddenly became depressed. Han Lao Wu couldn't bear the mental and physical torture, and Zuihou hanged himself in the mansion.
The originally lively Han family's mansion was suddenly empty, the long-term worker was gone, and the family was also dead and fleeing, and only Han Laowu's youngest son and a wet nurse still lived in that house. Later, Han Lao Wu's son also disappeared, and the wet nurse also left, and the house became completely empty.
Later, some people said that although Han Lao Wu was dead, his resentment had not yet dissipated, and at night Han Lao Wu's ghost began to cry, as long as he was in the woods in the back mountain, he could hear it clearly.
Regarding the story of the haunted house in the back, the restaurant proprietress talked about it here, and Zhu Yue also had many questions in her heart after hearing it.
She and Tang Hui did hear the cry in the house, but this cry was more like a baby, Han Lao Wu suffered and committed suicide to death, if he really turned into a ghost, he should be an adult, even if he cried, it should not be a baby's voice. In addition, there won't even be a single bird in that wood, which doesn't seem to have much to do with Han Lao Wu.
Zhu Yue threw these questions to the restaurant proprietress but the proprietress did not give a clear answer, only that those who entered the woods would definitely encounter trouble.
Zhu Yue asked again if anyone in the village had seen Han Lao Wu's ghost.
The proprietress shook her head and said, "No one has seen it, but there were three people in the village who died because they went to Han Lao Wu's house, the first one was strangled in the house, and the other two hanged themselves." ”
"And what about this? When did it happen? Zhu Yue asked.
"It's not too long, in the summer of '09, three little young girls in the village ran into the woods, and when they went, there were three, and when they came back, there were only two." The proprietress said.
"What's the matter with the head removed?" Tang Hui also interjected and asked.
"Didn't those two young men come back, but they were covered in blood, and they looked scary. The people of the village went to ask them what was going on, and they said a bunch of gibberish things, which probably meant that they strangled one person and strangled the man's head. ”
"Didn't you call the police at the time? How could he commit suicide again? Zhu Yue asked.
The proprietress shook her head and said: "At that time, no one in the village thought of calling the police, and they all went to the woods to find the body, but they didn't find the girl with the broken head at all, and when they came back, the other two girls were gone." Two days later, they were seen in the woods in the back mountain, and they hung themselves naked from a tree. Everyone in the village knew that this must be Han Lao Wu's ghost, so they didn't call the police and buried the body. ”
"And later?" Zhu Yue then asked.
"Later? There was no more back, and no one dared to go into that wood, for everyone knew that it was haunted. After the proprietress finished speaking, she pouted and shook her head, "I advise you not to go into the woods, because if you don't get it right, you will get into something unclean." ”
Zhu Yue nodded and smiled and thanked the proprietress before continuing to ask.
Five years ago, a girl disappeared from the mansion, and two other girls hanged themselves in the woods, and these girls may have become ghosts, and they are most likely the long-haired white ghosts that Ren Ran saw.
But where did the missing boy go? Where did the body of the girl who was strangled and decapitated five years ago go?
The puzzle continues.
