184 The Eight Kings Encounter the Golden Carp
"Lured the ghost into the house?" I was puzzled and asked Cuihua, "What do you mean?" Did anyone see a ghost in his house? ”
"Almost, many people say that they hear the cry of a woman in his yard in the middle of the night, and the crying comes and goes, just like the female ghost crying in a horror movie. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The fat man smiled: "This can't be said to be a ghost, what if Liu Banxian Jinwu hides Jiao?" ”
Cuihua shook her head: "How is that possible, there are a number of big girls and little daughters-in-law in the village, and if there is no girl in my family, can I not know?" Besides, just hearing the crying will not spread throughout the village, several families living next door to Liu Banxian have begun to get sick, adults and children are all chattering like Liu Banxian, and they all said that they saw a woman sitting in Liu Banxian's courtyard crying. ”
"Is it really that wicked? Isn't there anyone in the village to take care of it? ”
"It's only been a few days since this happened, and the people in the village say that it's a ghost called a ghost, and no one wants to look for death by themselves, in case there is really a ghost, and if you can't get a small life, you can explain it."
"It's okay, we're not afraid, we'll go and see after dinner later!"
Cuihua suddenly became anxious: "Oh, you two don't mess around, that Liu Banxian is already nervous, what if it scares you out!" ”
"Don't be afraid, it's not the first time we've seen this kind of thing, maybe it's Liu Banxian's own prank when he is mentally ill."
Cuihua tried to persuade us several times but failed, and finally could only remind us: "Then you can go and see it during the day, but it's better not to stay in his house all the time, his house is very dark." ”
I nodded, knowing that Cuihua was also kind, so I simply changed the topic and asked, "Sister Cuihua, is there a story about the golden carp in our village?" Or it's got a touch of carp. ”
"There's one! But it's all an old story, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's real or fake, you tell us about it, and when we go back, we will publicize it in our village, maybe it will attract a lot of donkey friends to come and play!"
"Okay, I'll read it to you."
I was also curious and casually asked, but I didn't expect this question to be really asked by me, and this old story did play a key role in our future.
After Cuihua's narration, I learned that this Bawang Village was not here at all at the earliest, and the name at that time was not called Bawang Village, but it was renamed Bawang Village when a person who called himself Bawang came here.
It is said that there was one of the earliest refugees in this village, and this refugee was the man who called himself the Eight Kings.
The eighth king said that he used to be a bachelor in the palace, and he was exiled because he offended the emperor, but on the way to escort him, he met a bandit, and thanks to his cleverness, he escaped here alone.
At that time, many people didn't believe the words of the Eight Kings, but some well-wishers saw that he was pitiful and gave him some leftovers, although it was just some leftovers, but it was really delicious for the Eight Kings at that time.
The Eight Kings were grateful to the villagers who gave him food, and promised to repay everyone, but when he was an official, he was a pen, and he had no special skills except for learning.
But it also happened that when the eight kings arrived, it was the busy farming season, and every family was working in the fields, and many of the children were not taken care of, so the eight kings found a place at the entrance of the village, and when the adults in the village went to work in the fields, they called the children of the village here, first, to teach them to recognize a word, read a poem, and secondly, to repay those kind-hearted people who gave them food.
There were many sensible people in the village, and seeing that the Eight Kings really wanted to do things for the village, they got together and built two houses for the Eight Kings in the west of the village to shelter him from the wind and rain, and also opened a piece of land for him to grow grain to eat.
The Eight Kings lived here for two years, and in these two years, whether it was the newlywed and choosing an auspicious day, or moving to build a new house, none of them were unknown to the Eight Kings, even the dead were buried to see Feng Shui, and the sick were bedridden and difficult to manage, as long as the Eight Kings were present, it would definitely be done in minutes.
Soon, the status of the Eight Kings in the hearts of the people in the village is getting higher and higher, and there are even a lot of matchmakers who want to tell the Eight Kings about matchmaking, but at this time, the Eight Kings shook their heads slightly and refused: "I am a criminal minister, maybe one day someone will take me away, if I marry someone else's daughter, then I will be equivalent to harming the life of the other party's family!" ”
In this way, the eight kings lived here alone for more than ten years, but when the eight kings carried a basket to the mountain to pick mushrooms one day, they found that there was a cave the size of one and a half people on the mountain wall halfway up the mountain.
The Eight Kings looked at the cave and said to themselves: "It's strange, I've been here for more than ten years, and I go up the mountain almost every day, and I never remember this cave?"
Curious, the Eight Kings put the basket aside, turned around and climbed directly down the entrance of the cave into the dark cave.
The Eight Kings kept moving forward in the cave, and he didn't know how far he had gone, but when he was tired and wanted to turn away, he found that there was a faint light in the depths of the cave!
The Eight Kings thought that the cave was nearing its end, so he walked towards the place where the light was shining, but when he went to the place where the light was rising, he found that at the end of the cave was a natural pool, and in the pool there was a golden carp half a foot long.
The carp's whole body was glowing with golden light, and even the two whiskers were golden, as if the light that the Eight Kings had just seen was emitted by this golden carp.
At this time, the golden carp seemed to realize that someone was watching it, and swam back and forth in the pool quickly, as if performing its own dance for people to admire.
The Eight Kings looked at the carp in the pond very strangely, and said in their hearts, "What did this fish grow up on?" There are not even some aquatic plants in this pool, could it be that this golden carp only drinks water?
After thinking about it, the Eight Kings wanted to bring the golden carp back to the village and show it to the old people in the village, so that perhaps someone in the village would know what was going on.
But when the Eight Kings put their hands into the water to catch the golden carp, they found that the golden carp's body was so slippery that he couldn't pick it up with two hands.
Just as he was struggling to find out how to bring the carp back, he suddenly remembered that he had brought a basket with him when he went up the mountain, so he hurriedly ran back to bring the golden carp back with the basket.
The Eight Kings ran back to the cave along the same road, and when he walked to the entrance of the cave, he found that the sky was covered with black and oppressive dark clouds, and it seemed that it might rain heavily at any time.
The Eight Kings didn't have time to think about it, so they hurriedly found the place where he put the basket before entering the cave, and then picked up the bamboo basket and turned around to go back to the cave to pick up the carp, but when he found the basket and wanted to enter the cave again, he found that the cave he had just come out of was actually gone.
The Eight Kings were instantly stupid, looking at the location where the cave appeared just now and couldn't say a word, just before he could figure out what was going on, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed among the dark clouds in the sky, followed by a muffled thunderous explosion from above the clouds.
This thunder suddenly woke up the stunned Eight Kings, almost instantly, the Eight Kings understood what was going on, and then quickly buckled the basket on their heads, and ran down the way up the mountain, at the same time, the pale Eight Kings shouted while running: "Golden Carp Tribulation, this is Golden Carp Tribulation!" ”
