Chapter 17: White in the Night
When the group heard this, they immediately rushed over, and when they came closer, there was no one at all, but a garment hanging on the grass. Fang Zhong and his wife recognized this dress at a glance, this was exactly the clothes of their daughter Fang Jing! The old couple felt a palpitation, they didn't find it, but they saw this white dress again!
The people in the village didn't know the strange thing that Fang Zhong and his wife encountered, seeing this dress, the big guy thought it was Fang Jing's, this season is the hot summer, and the dress is what the girls like to wear, which is cool and beautiful. The villagers guessed that it must be Fang Jing's clothes, Fang Jing disappeared for no reason in the middle of the night, and found her clothes in the barren mountains, everyone guessed that Fang Jing had probably met a bad guy!
But they didn't know that this dress Fang Jing had only worn once, and she was now wearing a coarse cloth shirt. After Fang Zhong explained the situation, everyone suddenly realized, Fang Zhong couldn't help but tell everyone about the strange things that happened yesterday, and everyone was embarrassed after hearing it!
At this time, an elderly man said to Fang Zhong: "I heard my grandfather say when I was young, there are indeed people who appear in black clothes on rainy days, and generally as long as that kind of person appears, some strange things will happen." As you said, the rope that binds the coffin suddenly breaks, which is what the older generation often calls the forbidden finger, that is, this kind of person is an ominous symbol, and if the funeral person meets him, the rope carrying the coffin will most likely be broken, alarming the deceased. ”
The old man who spoke was named Li Guoan, who was over 70 years old this year, but his body was still very tough. In terms of seniority, Fang Zhong also called Li Guoan an uncle. Li Guoan had no children, and a daughter died when she was very young, and her daughter-in-law also followed a wealthy businessman from other places to fly away, and he has not remarried since then. What's going on in the village, the old man always rushes to the front, and helps the people in the village to solve the problem, and the big guys are willing to get along with him.
Fang Zhong sighed and said, "Uncle An, you don't know!" At that time, the evil sect was very evil, and when the coffin was carried out, there was a puff of green smoke in the mud pit under the coffin, and many people saw it! Later, when I got home, a series of strange things started happening, and I wondered if Jing'er would be ......
Speaking of this, Fang Zhong stopped, he didn't want to explain that discussing ghosts and gods in this eerie environment, even if there were more than a dozen young men present, still made Fang Zhong feel cold.
Everyone heard Fang Zhong's words, and his voice was nothing more than wanting to say, could Fang Jing be entangled by that thing. You must know that the native mountain people, even if they have not encountered strange things, they have heard some from other people's mouths, at that time the population was sparse, years of war, there were not a few people who died on the battlefield, many people died after no one collected the corpses, the corpses were exposed in the wilderness, and the wild wolves gnawed.
Fang Zhong's words were guessed by the big guys, and a young man raised his eyebrows and said, "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, maybe Fang Jing just went out to relieve himself, maybe he will come back later." I have lived in Chenjiazhuang for more than ten years, but I have heard a lot of deceptive nonsense, but I have never seen what a ghost looks like, in my opinion, there is no ghost at all, it is too complicated for you to think! I think let's go back and get a good night's sleep, maybe Fang Jing will come back after waking up. ”
When Li Guoan heard this, he hurriedly interrupted the young man's words, and he said to the young man in a serious tone: "Erhu, you kid doesn't do less than lack of virtue on weekdays, you must not talk about ghosts and gods at night, you will be unlucky!"
When Erhu heard this, he raised his eyebrows disdainfully and said, "I haven't seen anything in Erhu, isn't it a ghost!" What a ghost, you call it out for me to see! ”
Fang Zhong sighed, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, he put away the dress and looked around with a torch. Seeing that the big guy had been busy for most of the day, he was a little tired, and he didn't want to urge everyone, and wanted to look for it again with his wife, but he was a little scared, so he had to stand aside and wait for them, and wait for them to rest for a while.
Li Guoan saw that Erhu didn't believe what he said, so he couldn't hold his breath a little bit, and talked about the strange things he heard when he was a child.
At that time, it was the period of the Republic of China, and many people were forced to leave their hometowns and go to other places to earn a living with their burdens.
Seeing that Li Guoan began to tell the story, everyone suddenly became interested, they brought a few stones from nearby, found some dry firewood to ignite, and more than a dozen people gathered around to listen to the old man tell the strange things he had heard.
Li Guoan's grandfather was only 14 years old at the time, just in time for the Japanese invasion of China, and they were well-armed, armed with machetes, and a few guns. All the villages that the Japanese pass through will be devastated, and they will commit adultery, adultery, captivity, plunder, and all kinds of evil! A large contingent of strong-blooded young men stood up against the Japanese.
Helplessly, they didn't have a decent guy in their hands, so they had to pick up hoes, sickles and other tools as weapons to compete with the Japanese. At that time, Li Guoan's father was involved, and it was raining that day, and the Japanese swaggered into the village, and they demanded that the villagers hand over all the food, including the family's savings, and take as much as they wanted, and if they found anyone hiding it privately, they would chop off his hands.
The people of the village were simple and loyal, and they had never encountered such a thing, so they were timid at that time, and one by one they obediently handed over all the food and money from their homes. When it was Li Guoan's turn, they only handed over a bucket of rice, but they couldn't hand over the money. At that time, the people were very poor, and it was not easy for a family to maintain food and clothing for a year, and only a few families planted more land, and the harvest was good, and the surplus grain could be exchanged for a few cents in the provincial capital.
Li Guoan's family has only three people, a single family, and the average person is only divided into three points of land. Li Guoan's family has less than one acre of land in total, and the harvest has not been good, and he can't even keep basic food and clothing, so he has to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and even tree bark in winter.
If you can't pay the money, you have to chop your hands, the Japanese are ruthless, and they dare to do it when they say it, killing someone in those days is the same as killing a chicken. Reform has not opened up, and it really responds to that sentence, human life is like a mustard!
The people in the village all took out their savings for more than half a year, and the poorest family also took out two cents, while Li Guoan's family really couldn't take out a penny. Helplessly, everyone handed over the money again, even if he wanted to, he couldn't borrow it, even if someone hid the money, he didn't dare to lend it to him, it was obvious that he was deceiving the Japanese, and he was afraid that the end would be miserable.
When the Japanese saw that Li Guoan's family couldn't pay the money, they pressed Li Guoan's father to the ground without saying a word, saying that they wanted to chop off one of his hands.
