There is a mountain village under the big round mountain, there are more than 500 families living in it, according to this, there are no people in Liao within a radius of 100 miles, because it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the strange rocks are craggy, the mountains are dangerous, the road is rugged and difficult to walk, the land is barren and difficult to cultivate, and the wild beasts on the mountain still haunt and patronize, it is undoubtedly equivalent to the worse of the snow, under the internal and external troubles, those who have the ability have been relocated outward, and those who have stayed so far are living by fishing and hunting, although the folk customs here are simple and simple as being isolated from the world, but it is not a paradise of fish and rice, Yang Tianhao is a native of here, living in a family of three, born frail resulting in young and sick, perennial face yellow muscle thin than children of the same age more than half a circle, parents for the only male in the family to go through hard work, everywhere to seek medical treatment is still the medicine stone is no spirit, it has been more than eight years, still no end. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Today, it was the afternoon, and he was playing by the river with his friends in the same village as usual.......
"Xiao Hao, come home, your stepfather has come to see you" A middle-aged woman, who was hurrying to the river, shouted to her son who was playing with the children.
Ling Yanwen was dressed in the countryside, her eyes were bright, her black hair and shawl were hanging down, and she still couldn't cover the faint nobility that she didn't accept the rouge.
"Mother, what did you say? My stepfather has come to our house? Xiao Hao turned his head, his voice did not change, and he replied in a skeptical tone.
"Yes, as soon as I arrived at home, your father asked me to come to you, come back with me," the middle-aged woman said with a gentle gaze and a kind tone, and at the same time did not forget to help Yang Tianhao pat the mud on his clothes.
"Your father said that he wanted to get something delicious, cook a few more dishes, have two drinks with your father-in-law in the evening, and go to Old Man Wan's to make wine, let's go, it's too late to go back, your father is going to say it again" After speaking, he took Yang Tianhao's little hand and ......walked towards Old Man Wan's house.
There is a courtyard built with a mixture of bamboo and wood at the back of the village, there are five or six houses large and small, there is a tree planted in the courtyard, and from time to time there are birdsong from the top of the tree, under the tree there are two people muttering something around a table made of bamboo, one is a typical mountain people's attire, the body is generous, not tall, with short hair, and the eyebrows are tightly locked, and the other is relatively tall, wearing gray casual clothes, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes, With a calm expression and thoughtful holding the tea in his hand, he was Zhang Jinhua who came from afar, Yang Tianhao's father-in-law.
"Big brother, after I left, has there been any other change in Xiao Hao's situation?" Zhang Jinhua asked very casually.
Yang Dashan smiled slowly, and said with an ugly face
"When you leave, you confess to it, every year on July 7, the door is closed, the body is closed and the soul is closed, the chicken blood goes around the yard three times, the black dog lets the courtyard walk freely, every month on the fifteenth day of the first month, the oriental incense is turned into a charm to drink, we do enough kung fu, nothing is missing, the first two years are still peaceful, to the night of July 7 of the third year, strange things began to come again, and it intensified and there were signs of being out of control."
Yang Dashan took a sip of tea and continued, "I remember that night, as in previous years, after doing all the things we had prepared, we sat with the door closed and waited for dawn, but in the middle of the night, things that shouldn't have happened still happened, Xiao Hao has not recurred for several years, Xiao Hao who slept in his mother's arms began to tremble, and then began to cry, his mother was so scared that she began to tremble, comforting Xiao Hao with a crying voice, and I was about to go crazy, and picked up the hunting knife that had been prepared earlier. Whether it is useful or not, the mother and son are waving and howling angrily, no matter what kind of ghost you are, whoever comes to offend my son, kill! Whoever comes to provoke my son, cut! Whether it was yelling or waving a knife, it didn't help, but Xiao Hao's crying was getting louder and louder, his voice was hoarse, and he was soaked, and he didn't know whether it was sweat or tears, in short, we were helpless at that time anyway"
Speaking of this, Yang Dashan paused and continued, "The matter is not over yet, we are hesitating in the house at the same time, suddenly there is a rustling sound outside the door, from far and near, my mother and I dare not make a sound, our hearts beat faster, holding our breath and waiting for what is going to happen soon, and soon, the wind is blowing in the courtyard, and the leaves; The sand and gravel desperately hit the door and window, and his mother was forced to shrink into the corner of the room with Xiao Hao in his arms, seeing Xiao Hao's reaction more intense, his face was flushed, his head was turned sideways, his eyes were blue, and he stared ahead, as if he saw something very frightening, at that time, although I was afraid in my heart, I still cautiously peeked out in the crack of the wall, it was dark outside, there was nothing, before I could see it from the gap, suddenly, boom! Boom! Bang, three powerful crashing sounds came in from outside the door, as if I didn't stop knocking open the door, I hurriedly ran to their mother and son, the horizontal knife in front, there was a big husband when the door was not opened, if the door was opened, Xiao Hao's crying, his mother's sobbing, mixed with the sound of the impact outside the door and the sound of wind and sand, my heart was mixed, full of grief and indignation, my mind was messy, and I raised the hunting knife in my hand and shouted loudly outside the door; Aren't you going to come in? Aren't you trying to harm my son? It just so happens that I also want to see who you are, whether you are a demon with three heads and six arms? I'm not afraid of you, I'll go out and kill you, so that you don't continue to make waves for the world in the future, after saying that, I'm going to open the door and go out to kill the Quartet, just when I hit the door latch and was about to open, there was a Wang from outside the door! Woof! The barking of the black dog, as soon as the barking of the dog came out, the sound of wind and sand outside; The sound of the impact was calm, Xiao Hao's crying stopped, and the hand that was about to open the door also stopped, his mother and I glanced at each other, and we both saw a sense of incomprehension and relief in each other's eyes, removed the hand placed on the door latch and walked to their mother and son again, checked that Xiao Hao was fine, but collapsed and fell asleep, and soon Dongfang turned white, I know that this pass has passed, but what awaits us will be! I really can't think about what happened after that," Yang Dashan recounted the experience of that night, and rushed to say before Zhang Jinhua could express something.
"After that, the first or fifteenth day of each month, it is not as quiet as before, although it is not as serious as that experience, but it is still too big or small to make our family feel peaceful, and the consequences if you don't come back are unimaginable."
"It seems that this matter is more complicated than I imagined, and it must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will ......" Zhang Jinhua stopped hesitantly in the middle of his words.
"Or what? Brother Jinhuaxian, you and I have been friends for half a lifetime, and you don't have to beat around the bush, is there a way to solve Xiaohao's situation? Yang Dashan, whose body trembled a little, was asking with an eager look at Zhang Jinhua.
"Alas! Big brother, after listening to what you said, I also have a bottom in my heart, and you also know Xiaohao's situation, but your love for your son is heartfelt, and it is difficult to face it for a while," Zhang Jinhua took a sip of tea and said slowly.
When Yang Dashan heard the other party say this, although he was not very surprised, he still became more and more nervous, and said in a trembling tone.
"This ...... In the past ......, my husband and wife have never done anything bad in their lives, they do things in a down-to-earth manner, and behave in a proper manner, but why should God do this to us" Yang Dashan almost howled angrily, with an angry and unjust atmosphere.
"Big brother, calm down, if outsiders hear a lot of bad, you can't solve the problem like this, besides, according to Xiaohao's current situation, it's not impossible" Zhang Jinhua saw that Yang Dashan was overly emotional, and hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, stretched out his right hand, and made a gesture to Yang Dashan and said.
"You...... What did you say? Brother Xian, are you serious? Are you saying that Xiaohao's affairs are promising? Hearing this, Yang Dashan stood up, so excited that tears had begun to roll in his eyes, and he looked at Zhang Jinhua and said in a hurried tone.
"Big brother, sit down first, and listen to me in detail," Zhang Jinhua said calmly.
"Yo! It's my gaffe! It's my gaffe! Let you see you smile" Yang Dashan knew that he was out of shape, and sat down again with a slightly apologetic expression as he spoke.
