Chapter 52: Jiang Mi Tiao (1)
A farm tricycle drove abruptly on the country road, and the driver and his wife were talking and laughing in the cab. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 While Daoist Chen, Ma Shouzi and Zheng Pei were sitting in the back of the tricycle, and Zheng Pei was lying on his stomach with a pig at his feet.
Ma Slender looked at the scorching sun in the sky and threw his straw hat to Zheng Pei. He himself took off his soaked shirt and held it above the head of Daoist Chen and himself. The three of them languished all the way in the back-of-the-back car in the sun, heat, and bumps, their expressions solemn, and they were speechless on the road.
Zheng Pei was so uncomfortable that he wanted to die. He looked at the dark pig sleeping in the car bed, and reluctantly summed up the truth that dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, and live pigs are not afraid of the sun.
Chirping!
The tricycle was parked in the middle of the road. The driver jumped out of the car, took out the tools of the crime and began to release water in the field where there was no village in front of the village and no shop in the back. His meaty wife, while munching on melon seeds, watched with interest as the stream at her man's feet flowed into a river.
The sunburned horse looked around, and asked the driver who was shaking twice after the water was released, "Master, how far is it to arrive?" ”
The driver hastily fastened his belt, wiped his hands on the side of his pants, and replied loudly: "Come on, there are still more than ten miles!" ”
"Dead ghosts!" The driver's wife saw his man's door revealing a sledge of bright red underwear, and smiled and threw it with the skin of melon seeds. The driver smiled and tightened the door and got into the cab with a smile.
The tricycle suddenly emitted black smoke and continued on its way. The tricycle shook its body more violently along the way, as if it would not stop until the skeletons of Zheng Pei and the three of them were shaken apart.
"Master, how are you? It's not uncomfortable, is it? The thin man asked worriedly.
Daoist Chen frowned and shook his head. Originally, he didn't get motion sickness, but after a bumpy ride, his face is now slightly green. He watched the thin man sweat like rain, as if he had just been fished out of the water, and asked, "How are you?" ”
"Me?" Ma Slender smiled, "What I'm most afraid of now is cold beer, cold watermelon or something." ”
"Why?" Zheng Pei asked puzzled.
Ma Slender glanced at Zheng Pei and said, "You stupid boy, as the saying goes, don't you say that you are afraid of something." ”
Daoist Chen and Zheng Pei both laughed. yes, if you can get a watermelon that has just been brought up from the well, tsk......
"It's here!" The driver poked his head out and shouted at the trio.
Only then did the slender man realize that the tricycle had been parked at the entrance of the village.
"You walked straight along this road, and the one you saw was the village chief's house." The driver got out of the car and opened the body for the three of them, and pointed to the village in front of him. His wife heard the words "village chief's house" and spit out the car window angrily.
Ma Slender helped Daoist Chen get out of the car and asked curiously, "Why did you put us down here?" ”
The driver didn't say anything with a dark face, and slammed the car shut. He entered the cab, looked at the thin horse, and said as if warning: "If I were you, I wouldn't care about their family's affairs, and I wouldn't come at all." ”
The driver's wife slapped her man's swarthy shoulder: "What are you doing with so many foreign farts!" Let's go! I have to go home and feed the pigs! ”
The tricycle drove away abruptly. The three of them were left alone at the entrance of the village, and no one paid attention to them or asked. The pig poked its head out of the car and looked at the three of them, snorting as if mockingly.
Let's go! Ma Slender put on the shirt that had been dried and covered with white Yandao'er, and helped Daoist Chen slowly into the village. Zheng Pei followed the two of them, carrying a large dilapidated bag, and looked around the village, which was full of adobe houses and even more dilapidated than the bag in his hand.
"It should be that one." Ma Slender said a word, and helped the master to speed up his pace.
Zheng Pei looked ahead, and on this narrow and uneven road, there was a large brick house standing out among the dilapidated adobe houses. The family used cement to wipe out the tall courtyard gate, and also used colored tiles to paste the position of the door beam, spelling out the four big characters of "rich and noble".
The three men looked at each other. Daoist Chen gave Ma Slender a look, and Ma Slender sneered, shook the closed carved wrought iron door, and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone at home?" ”
No one responded.
The thin man shook the door and shouted again.
"Who! Soul crying in broad daylight! The door to the north room opened, and a young woman poked her head out and cursed.
"We are from the city, and we are here to find the village chief." The thin man didn't care about the woman's attitude, and replied.
Seeing that it was a stranger and that it was from the city, the woman restrained her arrogant attitude, straightened her clothes and hair, and walked out to open the door to the three of them.
The three of them followed into the north room, where they saw an old man smoking a paper cigarette sitting on a chair in the middle of the hallway. The woman said to the old man, "Dad, someone is looking for you, from the city." After speaking, he walked into a back room, eating melon seeds while watching TV with Erlang's legs crossed.
The three of them knew in their hearts that this was the village chief.
"Oops, sit." When the village chief heard this, he hurriedly beckoned the three of them to sit down. He pulled out the cigarette case from his jacket pocket and shook it, "Here, smoke a cigarette." ”
Daoist Chen and Zheng Pei didn't answer, only Ma Slender unceremoniously took one and put it on it. The cigarette greatly relieved his fatigue from the bumpy journey, and he took a few puffs before he asked with a smile: "Village Chief, it must be important for you to ask someone to come over to me, tell me what the situation is." ”
"Well, it's hard to put into words." The village chief let out a long sigh, the anger in his eyes hidden by a thick sadness, and he turned his head to look at one of the back rooms and opened the conversation.
"Earlier, our village was prosperous, and the crops were strong, and it was a famous village in ten miles and eight villages. I take care of these hundreds of households, I take care of their food, their clothing, and everything I take care of. I don't talk nonsense about the village head, let's not talk about the good year, even if the year is bad, there is surplus food, and I don't have to worry about anything. ”
"My wife and I have five sons, all of whom are good at cooking. Ten years ago, I told my eldest son a daughter-in-law and invited the men, women and children of the whole village to hold the largest banquet in ten miles and eight townships. The remaining sons have also started families one after another, and now only the youngest son has not yet started a family, but he is also talking about the object. My dignified village chief doesn't talk nonsense, our family was prosperous that day, who could compare? ”
"But, my old man has always had a pimple in his heart. A few years ago, the eldest daughter-in-law died of dystocia, and since then, none of these daughters-in-law have given birth. My old man is getting old, and he looks forward to holding his eldest grandson every day. But none of these indisputable things moved in the stomach. Alas, they also took the medicine they should have taken, and the home remedies they should have used, but there was no movement. My dignified village chief doesn't talk nonsense, my old wife who left gave birth to five big fat boys to my father at a young age, and that belly is really angry. ”
The woman watching TV in the back room used the remote control to change the channel, and then threw the remote control on the table with a snap.
The village chief rolled his eyes at the inner room and continued: "Later, I renewed the strings for my eldest son, but somehow, that mother-in-law died on the kang that night! I hurriedly found a gentleman to come over and take a look, and the gentleman said that it was because the mother-in-law who died in childbirth in the early years was buried in the wrong place, and he made a mistake and rushed to send his son Guanyin. I hurriedly begged my husband to save my family, and the gentleman agreed. He went out to see Feng Shui the next day and said he wanted to pick a good place, but we waited for him for a week and didn't see him come back. I don't tell nonsense as the village chief, I moved the whole village to go out and look for it, but I didn't see half a figure, so this matter was settled at that time. ”
"Later, I found a girl to renew my eldest son, but the woman died on the kang in the cave room. They are not worthy of my eldest son. But since that incident, even my eldest son has become confused and talking nonsense all day long. Some people in the village chew their tongues all day long, and some of the things that are afraid of death have run away to other villages. I don't tell nonsense, I spent a lot of money to invite several gentlemen, but they all left and never came back. This problem has been delayed again and again, and seeing that our family is not angry day by day, my old man is so uncomfortable in his heart. ”
"Later, I asked a friend to inquire around, and it was said that Ma Dao Chang was strong in mana and had personally subdued many ghosts. That's why I asked Xiao Liu from the production team to invite you over, hoping that you can save the old man's family. As long as you can get rid of my son's evil spirit and let my family live in peace, my old man will donate all the savings he has dug out in his own field for so many years to Ma Daochang to make a good deed. ”
Ma Slender nodded and said, "I have not been walking less in these ten miles and eight townships, and I always feel that there is a fierce aura entrenched in your village. Because things are busy, I haven't had a chance to come and see them. This invitation from you has just put this matter to rest, and it can be regarded as a worry in my heart. Well, let me see how your son is doing, is he at home? ”
When the village chief heard that Ma Slender did not mention the thank-you gift at the beginning, he was secretly happy, and hurriedly invited Ma Slender to the back room and asked him to see his eldest son who had been sick and bedridden for a long time.
Zheng Pei secretly asked Daoist Chen: "Master Chen, what is 'Jiangmi Noodles'?" ”
Daoist Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, you kid, you'll understand when you see you." ”
At this time, Ma Slender and the village chief had already walked out of the back room, returned to their original positions and sat down.
"Village chief, your matter this time is really not easy to handle, with my way, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it." Ma Slender frowned and said worriedly.
"Huh?" The village chief was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Alas, Ma Dao Chief, you can save our family no matter what!" You can even give me a trick! ”
Ma Slender smiled slightly and said, "You, don't worry. I observed that this fierce aura was not the opposite, it was like a corpse in chaos. I calculated that we had a relationship during this time, so I specially asked my master to come down the mountain this time and completely eradicate this scourge. This is my master, Master Chen Tianfa of the Luoyue Sect of Zhongnan Mountain, and this is Daoist Zheng, a lay disciple who cultivated with my master. ”
When the village chief heard that the old fairy on the mountain had gone out in person, his happy mouth couldn't close. He hurriedly slaughtered chickens and cooked at home, and wanted to treat these three masters well, but was stopped by Ma Thinzi.
"Don't be busy with your mind this time, when the three of us master and apprentice go around the village, and we have a clue how to get rid of the demon, let's not be too late. Otherwise, what is it for the three of us to eat your meal out of thin air, as the saying goes, it is useless. ”
The village chief was overjoyed, but asked worriedly: "Ma Daochang, you are out, do you want us to accompany you?" It's all wilderness, so don't get lost. ”
Ma Slender laughed and said, "I said, old village chief, don't worry, we have eliminated this scourge, let's go out to set the direction and the bad luck, prepare for the demon eradication tomorrow, and we will come back at dinner." He turned to Zheng Pei, pointed to the worn-out bag and said, "Senior brother, let's put these magic weapons at the village chief's house for safekeeping first, and you don't have to carry them when you go out today." ”
The village chief carefully took the bag in Zheng Pei's hand, sent the three of them all the way out of the village, and asked them to come back early when they parted.
"How's that son? Can it be saved? Daoist Chen asked.
The thin man shook his head and said, "That man's spirit has been sucked up most of it, and he is no longer saved. ”
Zheng Pei asked curiously, "Is the corpse really so powerful?" ”
The thin man laughed and said, "What kind of corpse bosses, that's what I scared them." If it's really a corpse rebellion, not to mention their family, the people in this village won't be able to last a night. ”
Zheng Pei glanced at the thin man with disdain, and said, "Shopkeeper, are you so deceitful of people's money?" ”
Daoist Chen smiled and said, "Child, some of Ma Shou's words are false, but some of them are true. There is a reason why their family is in trouble and has no children. ”
Zheng Pei stood in front of the two of them angrily and said, "I know, I know, isn't it the ghost of 'Jiang Mi Tiao'?" I asked you, but you didn't tell me all the way, what is this 'Jiangmi Noodles'? ”
"Then why don't you dig it yourself?" Ma Slender pointed forward with his hand and said gloatingly.
Zheng Pei looked back and saw that there were piles of small graves in the desolate wild beach. There is also a decent stone tombstone in front of the grave a little outside. And in front of the mound inside, there is either a broken wooden sign that can't be read clearly, or a deserted grave that doesn't even have a wooden brand. The entire mass grave was gradually flooded with dead grass from the inside out. And even in the middle of summer, a trace of smoke and dust accumulates above these mounds.
Zheng Pei looked at Ma Slender in surprise and asked, "Could it be that the 'Jiang Mi Noodles' you are talking about are ......?"
Ma Slender smiled lightly, patted Zheng Pei's shoulder, and said, "'Jiang Mi Tiao' is a white-haired corpse, let's go, look for it." ”
