Chapter 30: The Story of Fifty Years Ago
Uncle Yan looked at the three of us, his eyes had a mysterious color, maybe it was because he had been living alone for a long time or some other reason, anyway, I didn't dare to go and look at each other, because I was a little scared.
But that day is completely different, he seems to really like this Uncle Yan, all the years old at the age of twenty is a manifestation of youth and vitality, and this Tian'er has a straightforward personality, no scheming, and his attitude towards the people he likes and the people he doesn't like is undisguised.
For a moment, I had an almost incredible thought in my head, since both of them were surnamed Yan, could it really be that there was some connection?
I'm thinking about this here, and over there, Bai Yun and Tian'er have started to listen to stories.
I patted my head, sobered up and then leaned over to listen, Uncle Yan spoke for four hours, and when he finished the last word, his audience was only me, Tian'er and Baiyun were lying on the kang horizontally, sleeping soundly.
I poured a glass of water for Uncle Yan, the old man took it and drank two sips, looked at me carefully, and said: "You are a smart person, you can come to this day, and there are a few good brothers by your side, which shows that you are an open-minded person and a person who has no quarrel with the world, but your forbearance makes you pay the price of sacrificing everyone around you, and in the end you can only get a pure land away from the hustle and bustle." ”
"Uncle Yan, I understand the meaning of what you said, as early as more than 20 years ago, someone also said this to my family, but I have always only believed in myself, I will protect everyone around me and prevent them from being harmed, I will endure it, and it is also because I want to protect the people around me, but
Uncle Yan took off a blackened lanyard from his neck, there was a ring at the end of the rope, I looked at the shape and carving process of the ring, and suddenly my eyes lit up, followed by a pain in my heart, this explanation is worn by our Xiao family, and I will never forget the totem on it for the rest of my life. "I believe what you said is true, the Xiao family has a lot of connections with me, just like I said, in addition to those seven people, there were actually three people who entered the village, but these three people didn't want to expose their whereabouts, so they asked me to help them cover, and when the seven people were in the village, these three people hid in my house, so no one knew about their existence, let alone my relationship with these three people.
According to what Uncle Yan said, the seven people of the Lan family came here at that time, and as soon as they came in, they discovered the special feature of this village, the dragon's head was connected.
This was told to him by the three people who hid in their house afterwards, that is, the previous generation of my Xiao family.
This village is called Xiaying Village, Xiaying, Xiaying, the homonym is Xia Jiling, here is backed by the mountain, facing the three springs, the water is abundant, even if the drought will not affect the water problem of this village.
After the seven men came, the people in the village didn't think anything about it at the time, and the seven men were generous, and as soon as they came, they threw out a bag of gold ingots to the village chief and asked to buy a house, because they were not used to living in other people's homes.
Yan Lao said that the village chief's family at that time was about to make a marriage, and the woman's family proposed to ask for a bride price, although the village chief was a small official, but in this mountain, the bride price money was indeed very difficult for their family.
Later, these seven people came, and with such conditions, the village chief naturally would not let it go. Just think that there is a house in the west of the village, the area is not large, twelve rooms with a kitchen and toilet, is a widow in the village lived, one night, it rained heavily, this widow wearing a big red robe jumped off the ancient well in her yard, the village people are superstitious, this wearing a big red robe to commit suicide is very resentful, this house is also said to be a murderous house, and, not long after the widow died, there began to be villagers one after another to see the widow who committed suicide wearing a big red robe lying on the edge of the ancient well crying, Or just see her walking around the village in a white robe.
For a while, rumors spread everywhere, but these were all spread by word of mouth, and the villagers regarded it as a conversation after dinner, although they were afraid, but they didn't really take it seriously.
Later, a drunkard in the village who had bullied the widow was found dead next to the ancient well, pretending to be miserable, with a large area of his body gnawed and his ribs exposed.
Dead people, and they died so strangely, so bloody, the villagers blew up at once, although they called the police, but because of insufficient evidence, the body was seriously damaged, in short, it dragged on for many years, and this matter was just mixed up.
It was such a murderous mansion that the village chief sold to them without telling these seven people. 、
When the people in the village learned about the news, they accused the village chief of being greedy for money and unkind, and even told him that there would be retribution for doing so, but he didn't care about these things when he continued to marry his daughter-in-law.
The village chief is an official in the end, and the villagers dare not blatantly oppose it, but some kind-hearted villagers still privately revealed the matter of this house to the seven people at that time, but after they heard it, not only did they not get angry, but they seemed very excited.
When the villagers saw the reactions of these seven people, they all felt that they had said what they should have said, and there was nothing they could do if others kept going, so everyone stopped mentioning it, and over time, this murderous house was forgotten by people.
During the time when those seven people lived here, just like the old man Yan said, they stayed at home, used money to buy villagers' houses for meals, and used money to hire villagers to deliver mountain spring water to the door of the house for drinking, and they rarely came out since they moved in, and even among these seven people, a few of them never came out at all.
A month later, it was also a rainy night, and suddenly there was a scream from the village chief's house, and everyone went over to see the situation, and the first person to feel it was Uncle Yan.
Uncle Yan said that when he arrived at the village chief's house, half of the village chief's body was left, and the other half had been eaten and bones were left, but what scared him even more was that the things that ate the corpse were gone.
In the room, the village chief's daughter-in-law and the infant baby who were still swaddling had also died, but they died very strangely, and they were actually laughing.
In addition, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the village chief was running naked around the stone mill in the courtyard at the moment, screaming loudly and screaming, her hands kept recovering, as if she wanted to drive something away from her.
Uncle Yan took advantage of the fact that the other villagers did not arrive before he found a cotton coat from the village chief, and forcibly put it on the crazy village chief's daughter. (To be continued.) )
