Uncle opened his heart, as if he was worried that the atmosphere was not terrible enough. He elaborated: "That night, your aunt carried a lantern. Walk next to me. The lantern was freshly tied, and the snow-white paper shone in the snow, which was even more white and dazzling. The two of us stepped on the snow, creaking. ”

"The old beggar's grave was erected by the two of us. So we found the location very quickly. Your aunt was very scared, and the lantern kept shaking, and the shadows around it kept shaking. At that time, I felt that all the qiē around me was alive. But our goal is a dead man. ”

"As we walked into the cemetery, your aunt kept talking to me, and I could tell that she was terrified. A face turned pale with fright. I carried a shovel and comforted her as I dug up the grave. Soon I saw the body of the old beggar, she was buried very shallowly, and it was easy to dig it out. ”

"I tell your aunt not to speak again. When the dead get yang energy, they will cheat the corpse again. Your aunt trembled with fear. Ask me, will you cheat corpses on such a cold day? I wanted to tease her and lighten the mood, so I said, "Wait a while, and the old beggar will turn into a zombie." Your aunt was so frightened that she couldn't stand and squatted on the ground. ”

"I gently wiped off the thin layer of soil, then held my breath and sliced with a kitchen knife towards the heart. At that time, it was freezing cold, and I cut the body of an old beggar as if I were cutting frozen meat. Fortunately, the location was accurate. I finally got that dark red heart out. ”

I hear this. I couldn't help but take a step back and stand inside the gate of the hospital. I felt that the street was dark, and there was no one, which was a little scary.

As if he had guessed the meaning of my move, he smiled at me miserably, and then said, "We took out the candle and planted it at the old beggar's grave." Then he put that heart inside the lantern. This set of rituals is also learned from others. ”

"I put the grave up again by the light of this candle. The candle was so low that every time I filled the soil, it shook as if it would go out at any moment. So I filled it very slowly. By the time I finally piled up the grave, I was already sweating from exhaustion. I dug a small pit next to the grave and buried the kitchen knife in it. Then, your aunt and I walked away arm in arm. ”

"On the way back, the heart rolled around in the lantern as if it had come to life. I held it carefully, sweating on my back. By the time I got home, my clothes were soaked. ”

"If you have ever worshiped gods and Buddhas, you should know that most Buddha statues are hollow inside. We stuffed the heart into Guanyin's stomach and sealed it with clay. ”

I swallowed, moistened my throat, which had already been dry, and asked, "This is the heart of the dead, but what about the blood of the living?" ”

The uncle smiled and said, "The blood of a living man is the blood of a child." At that time, your aunt and I often went to other people's homes, and all children under the age of five wanted to hug and kiss them......"

I looked at him in amazement: "You take the blood of children? ”

Like a disheartened criminal, the uncle nodded and admitted.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "On the first day of the first month of every month, we take blood with a needle and drop it on the statue of Guanyin. When it gets fifteen, I'll do it again. We have been doing this lack of virtue for a year, and we have collected the blood of twenty-four children. Later, he and twenty-four children fell seriously ill one after another, but fortunately no one died, otherwise our sin would have been too great. ”

I asked, "Why are you only looking for twenty-four children?" ”

The uncle's voice suddenly became extremely mysterious, and he said, "Because after the twenty-fourth drop of blood, the bodhisattva's heart beats. ”

My scalp tingled when I listened: "The Bodhisattva has a heartbeat...... You mean, that dead heart, alive? ”

Uncle nodded: "It's alive." Sometimes in the quiet of the night, I can still hear the heart, fluttering, fluttering. ”

I swallowed and foamed, thinking to myself: these two people are too bold, and if it were me, I would have to be scared out of schizophrenia.

The uncle said: "Guanyin is alive, you can send your son." We worship Guanyin, burn incense and worship every day, and are devout. As a result, two months later, your aunt was really pregnant. ”

"The day I gave birth happened to be the first day of the Lunar New Year. It happened to be snowing, too. It's exactly the same as it was two years ago. Your aunt was rolling on the bed in pain, and many people were present at the time, and they helped me watch the people and asked me to call Wen Po. At that time, there were hospitals, but hospitals were expensive. I trotted along the street, but after running for a long time, I couldn't find my mother's home. Later I realized that this was a ghost hitting the wall. ”

I wrapped myself around and asked, "Could it be the old beggar who made a fuss?" ”

Uncle nodded: "Later, I found out that I had been wandering around the cemetery and couldn't run out at all. As soon as I gritted my teeth, I simply ran to the old beggar's grave, kowtowed a few times, and said, we are sorry for you in this life, and we will definitely repay you. ”

"After kowtowing to this, I found my mother-in-law's house. Wen Po wrapped her little feet, walked two steps, and shook it. I simply picked her up on my back and ran home. When I carried Wen Po on my back, I found that she was so heavy that she almost crushed my waist, but at this time, I couldn't care so much about saving the child. I trotted, and when I just walked to the gate, I heard Wen Po say miserably: You shouldn't have a child in your life, and now you have barely it, and sooner or later you have to return it. ”

"I was so frightened that my legs went limp, and I fell to my knees. It was like a thousand pounds of weight, and she pressed my body, and I couldn't stand up at all. I knelt on the ground and said, "I will pay for the sins I have done, and I just want to have a son." If you are wronged, don't hurt others, let my daughter-in-law give birth to the child. ”

After saying this, I was suddenly able to stand up. I put the stable woman on the ground, turned around and looked, where is the stable woman? It's a big rock. I broke out in a cold sweat. Immediately afterwards I heard the cry of a child in the house, and your aunt had given birth. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but say, "This is too mysterious, isn't it?" How did you carry back a stone? ”

Uncle said, "I've never told anyone about this, even your aunt doesn't know. It's just that the stable woman in our town has hated me since then. A few years ago, every time it was the New Year, she had to tell people. More than 20 years ago, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was snowing heavily, and on the first day of the new year, his father knocked on my door, picked me up and ran, and when he was halfway back, he suddenly threw me into the snow, and then carried a stone home. The ...... of the cold and the frozen "Zhen Demon Ditch Garbage."

When I heard this, I was scared and amused. I didn't know that the origin of the first year of junior high school was so bizarre.

Uncle sighed and said, "I have been a good man, and many people have come to the house to congratulate me, and a stonemason saw the big stone at my door and said, This stone is good, it is used as a tombstone." The rest of the people scolded him and called him unlucky. But I understood that it was the old beggar who wanted me to erect a monument to her. So I asked the stonemason to chisel "There is no penny in the bag, and righteousness is worth a thousand gold", ten big characters, and erected it in front of the old beggar's grave. When I compliment her so much, I naturally hope that she will let our family go. ”

"Hey, after the child was born, we hid the statue of Guanyin and never took it out again. More than twenty years have passed. There was always nothing going on in the house, and your aunt and I gradually forgot about it. Unexpectedly, she suddenly appeared. ”

I shook my head and said, "She didn't show up out of nowhere. In the past 24 years, she has appeared once on the first day of the new year, but you don't know. My third brother saw it every time. ”

When the uncle heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, that's right." I remember he did say when he was a kid that there were ghosts in the house. At that time, I was very taboo about this, so I reprimanded him, and he never said it again. I thought the ghost was gone, but it turned out that the child wouldn't tell me. ”

The two of us were talking about this when a car pulled up to the door of the hospital. Then, a person jumped out of it and ran towards the hospital: "Doctor, doctor, my wife is about to give birth." ”
