Chapter 4: Origins
They asked him what he could do to remedy it, and he said that everything that came out of the forest must be burned. As soon as the villagers heard this www.biquge.info they went home and prepared things to go to the forest and burn them.
When the village chief heard this, he was not happy, and said that this gentleman was talking nonsense in broad daylight. The gentleman was also angry, and told the village chief that if he burned the things in the forest, he would give the village chief's family a year's farm work for free if it didn't rain for three days, and if it rained, the village chief's family would have to take care of their family's farm work for the coming year.
As a result, the villagers gathered together in the forest, and when they arrived at the place, everyone saw that this was a deserted tomb, because of the heavy rain in the previous half month, all the things in the tomb were washed out, and in addition to a coffin, there were some burial goods.
The gentleman pointed to the coffin and said that he would burn it first. Some good villagers were curious and wanted to see what was inside, and while everyone was not paying attention, three or five people pried open the coffin at once.
As soon as the coffin was opened, there was a fishy stench, like the smell of a large pile of rotten fish and rotten meat exposed to the sun.
Some of them were so bold that they pinched their noses, leaned in front of them, looked inside, and almost didn't pee. There is a female corpse lying in the coffin, vivid, the jewelry on the body is very well preserved, and everything is the same as new, but this style is by no means all modern all, this is an ancient corpse. The most peculiar thing was the appearance of the female corpse, which was hardly damaged except for the shriveled skin, like an old lady who was old and malnourished.
On the left and right hands of the female corpse there is a small monster with red hair and green hair, the red hair has four ears, like a monkey, a bit similar to a six-eared macaque, but a pair of ears are missing, and the green-haired one has no tail, even with its eyes closed, its appearance can be seen to be vicious. They were only the size of a palm, and the red-haired chest was sleeping with his eyes closed, and the green-haired one saw someone open the coffin and began to look around.
When the fortune teller saw this situation, he insisted that these two little monsters were doing the trick, and they must be killed immediately, and then wrapped in black dog blood and burned to death, and it must be fast, this thing is very clever, and it is not easy to catch them once they run away.
Those few good deeds were bold, and grabbed the two little monsters with red and green hair out of the coffin, and a cadre of people took shovels and hoes to greet the two little monsters. The strange thing is that no matter how you fight, these two things just don't shed a drop of blood, and they don't stop breathing for a long time, drenching the blood of a black dog on their bodies, and immediately rolling on the ground and struggling, no matter how big their mouths are, they just can't make a sound, and then they burn them clean.
At this time, the sun was setting, and it was almost evening, and the villagers asked Mr. what to do with the coffin and the things in the forest. The gentleman said that the origin of these two little monsters is unknown, and the things in them are not good things, and if they are kept, they will cause disaster, and it is better to burn them, and no one should touch them.
When the crowd heard this, they began to hesitate, even if they were not allowed to take the things in this coffin, they were not allowed to take the funeral goods, it was not a pity.
It was also the work of hesitation, the bright moon that was originally shining in the sky suddenly dimmed, and when I looked up, a large dark cloud was on my head, and the stars of the previous days were gone, and there were faint thunders, and it seemed that it would rain soon.
Everyone was excited and couldn't care about that, since Mr. said to burn, then it must be burned. In the end, the village chief decided to leave a few bold people to set fire to the coffin. Liu Jiawu is one of them, he said that he was bold, but in fact, he was a few honest people, and he was usually commanded to direct everything in the village, although he was afraid, but fortunately, he had someone to accompany him.
In order to burn everything before the rain, several people hurriedly picked up a few bundles of firewood, piled things at a starting point, put a fire, and burned it.
A few people squatted by the fire, the more they thought about it, the more aggrieved they became, usually no one in the village treated them like fools, in the final analysis, it was not because the family had no money and could not afford to marry a daughter-in-law, they were all around forty years old, and none of them had a daughter-in-law.
If you want to say that the crowd is divided into similar things, these are the few people who usually have a good relationship with Liu Jiawu, the same nest, looking at the things next to the fire, no one dared to take it, and the bright jewelry was burned by the fire, leaving only distress and regret.
When a few people were regretting it, suddenly the white light flashed in the sky, and several thunderbolts were struck, and a torrential downpour fell, extinguishing the fire that had just burned half.
Several people didn't have time to dodge, they were all drenched, looking at the half-burned coffin in front of them, looking at each other, and their hearts were up and down. One of the companions said that God didn't let the fire burn things, and he couldn't complain about himself.
The rest of the people also nodded, and the man asked them to follow and see if there was anything to pick up, and now take it out, maybe they can exchange it for a few dollars, and maybe they can marry a daughter-in-law.
That being said, when it was time to do it, it was still no match for the wimp's strength, and several people walked over timidly. When the villagers opened the coffin, it was done by a few brave guys, those few were simply Liu Jiawu's nemesis, Liu Jiawu They didn't dare to go closer, they hid from a distance and looked at it a few times, they didn't understand it too much, at this time, in order to get a few valuable things, they had to step forward.
The reason for the erosion of water and fire, the original stench in the coffin was replaced by another even more unpleasant smell, indescribably strange and unpleasant, and the pouring rain still couldn't suppress the strange smell.
Several people were dizzy, and one by one pinched their noses and forcibly stepped forward to take a look, it was okay not to look at it, but they couldn't hold back anymore, and several people spit out in a circle.
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was getting late, and if they didn't do anything, it would be even more inconvenient to go down the mountain and out of the forest, so everyone wiped the filth from their mouths, looked at each other, and pretended to be brave enough to rummage in the pile of unburned things, and everyone saw something and was about to start to take it, when suddenly a white light flashed in the sky, and a flash of lightning immediately illuminated the dark sky as bright as day.
Liu Jiawu frightened the rest of the people with an exclamation, and one of them was a little bolder and scolded Liu Jiawu, Liu Jiawu shuddered and said that there was a lightning bolt just now, and a figure appeared in front of him.
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people were all shocked, and they didn't dare to reply with their trembling heads, and the person who scolded Liu Jiawu was about to ask. Suddenly, I heard the voice of an old man behind me, and the voice said with a questioning question, you are too bold.
A few people couldn't bear it anymore, and knelt on the ground with a thud, and slammed their heads on the ground. There are all kinds of things in the mountains, and there are countless local legends of ghosts and monsters in the mountains, and the coffin that is missing half of the coffin in front of me for some years is thought to be a ghost.
As a result, when I looked back, what kind of ghost was it, it was clearly Zhang Linian, the leader of the good thing just now. The Zhang family is the surname of the village, and the entire family of Zhang has almost accounted for half of the population of the village over the years.
Zhang Linian took the lead to open the coffin before, and when he saw the gold, silver and jewelry inside, he moved the thief's heart and wanted to keep it for himself, when there were many people, the village chief ordered someone to burn the coffin, the village chief is the elder of the Zhang family, and he originally broke off this idea. It rained not long after returning home, Zhang Linian saw that God helped me, even if the coffin was burned, there were still a bunch of funeral goods, how could it be so easy to burn clean, and he quickly woke up a few good brothers in his clan and folded back together.
Zhang Linian and his gang looked down on Liu Jiawu's gang of wastes, so they went to take away the funeral goods and valuable gold, silver and jewelry one by one, and even the clothes on the female corpse were pulled clean by them. Four or five people were holding sacks in their hands, full of bowls, and were about to leave, but they saw Liu Jiawu and his gang looking at them with blank eyes.
Zhang Linian said to Liu Jiawu that if anyone said anything about this today, he would throw him into the mountains to feed the tigers. Then he shook his head and said that it was not that he left you nothing, and the rest were yours.
After Zhang Linian and a few people left, Liu Jiawu and they looked at the half-burned things, and they didn't have hope, Liu Jiawu found a stone in the coffin that was not burned, it was so black and shiny, and he was left as a treasure, and the remaining few saw Liu Jiawu find good things, and they all came to work, and after looking in the ashes for a long time, they also found one or two decent things, but they were indeed a little shabby compared with Zhang Linian.
A few people looked at the things in their hands, crying and laughing, how could they meet a king of Hades like Zhang Linian, if they went to the village chief to complain, they might be bitten back. In desperation, several people worked together to bury the remaining piles of things.
Back in the village, the fortune teller and the village chief would naturally ask, and Zhang Linian also happened to be present, so several people had to join forces to make up nonsense, saying that everything was clean. The gentleman nodded and said, "That's good, in the early years, I heard my master say that 'every drought will be flooded, and every flood will be drought', all because of the feng shui breaking phase." Some corpses have been buried for too long, because of some special reasons that lead to changes in the leylines, the original feng shui auspicious phase has been destroyed, like ours in mountainous areas, every heavy rain is most likely to cause landslides, mudslides, coffins are displaced, if the corpse is rotten, it is fine, if the corpse is not rotten, it will turn into a zombie, and the zombie is the beginning of all the roots. There are two monkeys in the coffin, one red and one green, two of which look like ancient monsters, Changyou and Dry. Naturally, it is not a living creature, but perhaps a martyred child who accompanied the tomb owner to the burial. The child is even more powerful, moody, unrestrained, and now he has been beaten to death and burned to ashes, and he is no longer a person. ”
Liu Jiawu and the others muttered in their hearts after hearing this, forced by Zhang Linian's obscenity, and they didn't dare to tell the truth, so they had to say a few perfunctory words to me, and then turned around and went back to sleep.
Sleeping in bed at night, several people have not slept all night, they are having nightmares when they close their eyes, and they are scared out of a cold sweat in the middle of the night.
It rained all night, and finally it was dawn, there was a lot of thunder outside, and the village was in a mess, looking through the window, the people on the street were in a hurry, as if something terrible had happened, Liu Jia was curious at noon, put on his clothes and went out with him.
A few people happened to meet on the road, and they followed the team to the vicinity of the village chief. It turned out that Zhang Linian's house was buried by the mudslide, and none of the more than a dozen members of the family came out.
Liu Jiawu and others saw such a tragic situation, and their hearts were even more drumming, they were all timid and afraid of things, but they were even more scared when such things happened, and they couldn't stand their imagination of adding oil and vinegar to their brains.
Zhang Linian's house was built against the mountain, and after decades of such a situation, the Zhang family began to be suspicious, and it rained heavily for five or six days in a row, and as soon as the sky cleared, the village chief organized people to dig people up in the ruins. The Zhang family found the treasures on the ancient corpse next to Zhang Linian's corpse, and immediately thought of Liu Jiawu and others, so they came to ask them one by one.
Liu Jiawu and the others had already guessed that there would be such a day, how could they kill such a big thing, and they had to blame it for it, so they had to continue to lie and lie, and put all the blame on Zhang Linian, saying that they forced people like themselves to do it. These guys who usually have a lot of money and Zhang Linian are an absolute comparison, and when they say it, even the Zhang family themselves have no words to refute it, so they have to believe it.
Liu Jiawu and others held things like hot potatoes, for fear that something would happen, although they were illiterate, they could hear the fortune teller and know that these were antiquities, and they could exchange them for a lot of money, and they could not only repair the house when they came back, but also marry a daughter-in-law. Four or five people discussed it together for more than half a year, but they didn't come up with a good way to make a move.
In the end, Liu Jiawu watched the time pass day by day, and he was getting older day by day, and it was estimated that he would have to run for four if he waited any longer. As soon as he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, he proposed that he go to the front station first, and then went to a distant cousin's house in Wuhan, and inquired around and heard that this thing was easier to sell in Panjiayuan in Beijing and the old clothes street in Guangdong, and asked his cousin to buy himself a train ticket to the north.
When I arrived at Panjiayuan, I walked around for two or three days, and I didn't dare to find anyone to speak, until today, the tickets in my hand were almost spent, and it was estimated that it would be a problem to even go back if I stayed, so I had the courage to open my mouth. That is, fate caused me to ask as soon as I opened my mouth.
As the old saying goes, there are nine-headed birds in the sky and underground Hubei Yankees, I really don't believe that Hubei can have a few nests, Liu Jiawu has two bottles of beer, full of wine and food, blushing and thick neck, and slowly told me the whole thing, although it is a fellow countryman, but after all, the place is not right, many dialects are still a little jerky and difficult to understand, but I also understand seven or eight points.
