According to my mother, I was very happy to drink wine in the evening. The six big men www.biquge.info in the pen "Fun" Pavilion drank more than half of the vat of rice wine that my family had steamed out a few days ago, estimated to be twelve or three catties, and drank it from more than 11 o'clock in the middle of the night until the fifth watch of the chicken crow in the early morning.

According to my mother's words, several men sat together and drank, and the wine was actually just a lead, and bragging and farting was true. A few people often pour a few cups of "cat urine", regardless of the north, south, east and west, all of them are nonsense, heavy talk, bullshit, and even some people who are not interested, even the stinky thing of stealing the man's father and picking up ashes are shaken out.

The more lively the drink, the easier it is to make a fool of yourself, and you often fight bravely until you finally lie down. Let the woman who is full of anger but has no way to vent end up with disgust.

The scene was similar.

Among the six men, except for Yang Shigong, who is in his seventies, is still conscious, the rest including my father are drunk.

Father and Zhou Limin lay on the table, Zeng Chenggong lay on the stool, Zeng Qinghu and Liu Laoman lay directly on the ground.

Yang Shigong stood up, his steps were a little staggering, he looked at the few people who were staggering, and said with a long laugh: "Just a few of you want to drink down my old man?" Haha......"

The hall was drunk, and her mother was a weak woman, screaming and pulling to no avail, and her face was full of helplessness. At this time, there were still two hours before dawn, and when I saw that Master Yang took a cane and picked up a bag to leave, my mother hurriedly kept him and asked him to squeeze on my bed, and only left at dawn, Master Yang smiled and said:

"Niece and daughter-in-law, walking at night is my specialty, these few steps can't stop me, you don't have to worry. However, they have to work hard for their nephews and daughters-in-law to mix my packet of medicinal powder into water and give them to drink, or they will be able to walk back in a while. “

As he spoke, he took out a small paper bag from his bag and handed it to his mother, then opened the door, twisted the flashlight, and dissolved into the night. At the corner, he also blew the horn of the ox with a "woo", indicating that he had left the master's house after finishing his business, which caused a burst of rabid dogs from the dogs of Hecun.

The next evening, there was a lot of discussion in the village, and when Yang Shigong was having a good time, he revealed that a middle-aged man in the village would die in two months. His original words were: "The middle-aged male guest came so quickly, he arrived as soon as I turned paper (burned paper money), and he couldn't even force back after two hits, and it is estimated that it will appear in two months at most." “

According to the legend of Lilai, there are two types of ghosts. People have three souls and seven spirits, and after a person dies, the soul leaves the body and becomes a ghost, which is a dead ghost. There is also a kind of living ghost, also called yang ghost, which is a ghost that turns the yang soul of a dead person out of the body and becomes a ghost. This kind of ghost usually does not appear until about half a year after the dying person. During this period, whenever someone in the vicinity holds a funeral or performs a ritual, this kind of yang ghost will rush to the phenomenon to collect money paper (dark money) and grab sacrificial meals.

It is said that a warlock with advanced cultivation can see this kind of yang ghost, and can accurately determine the dying's location, gender, age, physical characteristics, and time of death according to the direction it is coming from, how fast or slow it is, etc. If you are lucky, you can also fight off the yang ghost to help this person survive the death calamity and avoid death, but it is inevitable that he will have a serious illness or go through other calamities.

At that time, although several people kept asking, Yang Shigong did not elaborate on the height or anything. just sighed "It's a pity", revealing that the person is from this village, and this river will definitely appear in about two months.

For a while, there was a little panic in the village, Yang Shigong's yang omen (prophecy) has always been very accurate, I don't know if the middle-aged man is about to leave this world unlucky.

In the midst of this panic, another big thing happened:

Yang Shigong, who predicted that someone would die in the village about two months later, disappeared.

There is no one in life, and no corpse in death.

For a time, the village blew up.

After Master Yang left my house that night, he didn't come home at all.

His family thought he had gone somewhere else temporarily, but they didn't care about it. After two days, he didn't go home, and his wife was a little uncertain, so she sent her granddaughter Yang Sisi to my house to ask. On the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day, the relatives searched all over the house, but no one was found, and no message was left.

This has never happened before, the family panicked, cried to the brigade headquarters, and successfully found the last two people who had seen Yang Shigong through multiple inquiries.

After Master Yang left my house, he was met by two people.

One is Chen Shanzhu.

Chen Shanzhu wife had a stomachache after half the night, at first she endured it, but it hurt more and more, seeing her sweating profusely and pale, Chen Shanzhu was distressed, and he didn't care whether it was dawn or not, he went to the brigade department to call the barefoot doctor Zeng Fanjin, and it happened that Zeng Fanjin went to the district hospital to get medicine and didn't come back.

After hearing his symptoms, Yang Shigong said, "I'm afraid it's colic, I'll go with you to see it." “

Chen Shanzhu was overjoyed and hurriedly led him to his home.

When he got home, Chen Shanzhu's wife recounted the symptoms: intra-abdominal colic, sometimes like a knife, sometimes like a needle prick, sometimes if the hand was writhing in the abdomen, Yang Shigong took a little inspection and concluded that it was indeed suffering from colic, and said to Chen Shanzhu: "Do you have porcelain tiles at home?" “

"Porcelain tiles? What porcelain tiles? Chen Shanzhu looked ignorant.

Master Yang didn't bother to explain, reached out and grabbed the flower bowl on his bedside stool that still had half a bowl of water, splashed the residual water on the ground, and smashed it in the corner of the stool with a "bang". He chose a sharp porcelain piece with sharp corners, wiped it on the placket of his clothes, grabbed the hands of the woman who was sweating profusely and her face was discolored, and pierced the tips of the middle and ring fingers of the index finger with the porcelain piece, and the blackened blood flowed all over the fingertips in an instant, dripping on the ground next to the bed.

Chen Shanzhu saw that his heart trembled, and asked carefully: "Uncle, is there so much blood in the way?" Do you want to find a strip of cloth to wrap it? ”

Master Yang said with a smile: "Don't do anything, you have to bleed if you are colic, it should be much better now, how much blood can you get out of the finger scratch point?" If it doesn't work, you have to draw again, you feel sorry for your wife, and when she gets better, won't you make up for it when she gets better? “

Chen Shanzhu smiled bitterly, laughing more ugly than crying.

As soon as she spoke, the woman had quieted down, and weakly thanked Master Yang, saying that it was much better. Master Yang squeezed her fingers and said to Chen Shanzhu:

"Okay, I'll wipe the blood later, I need to rest these days, pay attention to the lack of water on my fingers, but I'm not Langzhong, I'm afraid she has something else, you'd better accompany her to the hospital outside after dawn, and pick up some medicine for her treatment."

Seeing that the woman closed her eyes tiredly, Master Yang took her bag and wanted to leave, Chen Shanzhu thanked him with a thousand thanks, and gave him ten eggs and sent him to the gate of the courtyard before returning to the house.

Another person who has seen Yang Shigong is Zeng Xianjing.

Zeng Xianjing is over 70 years old, and he has a bit of a stomach trouble these days, and he wants to get up and go to the thatched house when the horn sounds. His thatched house was on the side of the road, and he squatted in the pit for a long time, and when he came out, he happened to meet Master Yang coming out of Chen Shanzhu's house. The two also said a few words. Although I could smell the smell of alcohol on his body, I could see that he was not drunk, he did not walk fast, and his steps were very steady.

He was the last person to see Master Yang in the true sense.

Both of them were sure that Yang Shigong was carrying his bag on his back with a cane and flashlight in the direction of his Zhangmuling.

But the question is: where have the people gone?

Running away from home? No, Master Yang is over seventy years old, has only one daughter, recruited a son-in-law, and now the eldest granddaughter Yang Sisi is seventeen or eighteen years old. If the family is harmonious, there is no reason to leave the family without saying goodbye.

Something must have happened.

From our Xinghua Village to Zhangmuling Yang Shigong's house, there is only one road, along the creek through the village after crossing the Longyan Ridge, downhill and then straight up Zhangmuling, although it is a mountain road, but it is not narrow, in the old days you can cross the carriage. And there's nothing at stake. The captain of the brigade successfully organized more than a dozen militiamen to search along the way, but searched all over the small waterholes and roadblocks, but to no avail.

At that time, there was no roadblock robbery, and as far as Yang Shigong's ability was concerned, no one had the courage to kill him. Although it is a mountainous area, there are no beasts of prey for a long time. Since the beginning of the great steelmaking in 58 years, the trees on the mountains have been cut down one after another, and the wild beasts cannot be hidden. Coupled with the wanton hunting, not to mention the South China tiger has long been extinct, and now even wild boars have not been seen for more than ten years. Moreover, ordinary beasts could not fight him.

Don't talk about ghosts, that's what he does. He's a goblin hunter. But it really doesn't make sense to see no one alive or dead like this. Gritting his teeth, Zeng successfully led more than a dozen militiamen to the nearby mountains to search, but after looking for no clues for two days, he reported to the Commune Revolutionary Committee and was unable to do so.

Until the end of the year, the heavy snow closed the mountain, and the gang of Hong Mazi went hunting in the mountains and picked up a bag of "Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge" at the entrance of Longyan Cave. The villagers and Master Yang's family confirmed that the bag and the contents were exactly what everyone saw when Master Yang left my house that night, and even the eggs sent by Chen Shanzhu were still inside, but a few were broken, and the remaining ones were also stinky.

There are many caves on Longyan Mountain, in addition to the Longan Cave at the mouth of the largest cave, there are old wormholes, lion holes, ox holes and so on in a small way, as for a little less, there are more than 20 large and small, and it is said that most of these holes are connected, legend has it that there are treasures hidden in the caves on this Longyan Mountain, there are many people who went into the cave to look for treasure before, not only did not find the treasure, most of them went away without returning, and threw their lives in the stone cave.

According to a few people who escaped with their lives, the cave was complicated, and it was easy to get lost after entering, and there were man-eating demons and monsters inside...... Anyway, it was extremely terrifying, and then very few people went treasure hunting, and the little adults repeatedly warned us not to go into the hole to play.

If Master Yang entered the Longyan Cave, he would definitely be more than lucky.

Under the cry and begging of Yang Shigong's family, the captain successfully organized more than 20 militiamen to decide to search Longyan Cave to see if they could find the bones.

Longyan Cave is the largest hole on the mountain, it is said that there are holes in the hole, the intricacies are complicated, coupled with the mysterious and terrifying ghost legend, there are very few people close to usually, except for the legend that the ancestor of Yang Shigong Ma Shigong has entered, the rest no one has entered the hinterland, I don't know how long and deep the stone cave is.

He successfully led people into the cave with lantern torches, but he withdrew out of the cave in less than an hour, saying that there were too many holes in it, some of which were deep and unknowable, some of which were too small to enter, some of which had water, and there was not enough food and fire, and he had no experience, so he could not find it in the depths. Since no one or body was found near the entrance of the cave, it was impossible to find it any further.

At that time, Yang Shigong's original prophecy had been verified, and in the second month, Meng Qingnan, who was in his fifties, died of illness.

No one expected that Yang Shigong, who made the prediction at the beginning, would evaporate from the world. I don't know if it was Ma Shigong, the ancestor who followed him, and became an immortal.

These are actually all later words.
