Chapter 31: The Woolly Dog

The moon in the mountain is very round, but the brightness is not very large, because there are many century-old trees on both sides of the mountain road, with lush branches and leaves, blocking most of the moonlight.

When I walk alone on the desolate mountain road, I will inevitably be a little suspicious, and I always feel that something is following behind me, but I don't have the courage to look back, just walk forward unhurriedly.

Lao Wu once told me that there are three bright lights on a person's body, one on the top of the head and one on both shoulders, which is a symbol of the yang fire of a person's body, and if there are no these three lights, the person is considered dead.

And especially at night, the yang fire on the person is relatively weak, with these three lights, those evil things dare not get close, even if they blow behind you, they will never dare to face you head-on, because after all, there is yang energy in people, and yang energy is still very harmful to ghosts.

But if you turn back, the breath you emit is easy to blow out the lamp on your shoulder, and if you turn out three lamps and one of them, those ghosts will dare to be against you.

And what makes me even more afraid to turn back is that Lao Wu once said that my life itself is a heavy yin qi, and it is easy to provoke these unclean things, and I must obey the taboos he said like a golden rule, and I dare not violate it at all.

After walking for about an hour, the town in the distance was no longer visible, only the howling of the whistling mountain wind ghosts, and the roars of all kinds of wild beasts in the mountains that could not be named, which made people even more frightened.

At this time, I already regretted it, what is there to make less money? It's true that driving the mountain road in the middle of the night is not something that a coward like me can do, although I practiced a little more courage when I was with Lao Wu, but now after all, I am alone, and I don't even have anyone to talk to, let alone what kind of ghost thing it is, even if a wolf comes out coldly, it can scare my soul away.

Just when I was suspicious, I suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps behind me, this time, I suddenly received the blood all over my body was cold, in the middle of the night, on the uninhabited mountain road, there was the sound of someone walking behind me, no matter how I thought it should not be human.

In an instant, I was greeted by a myriad of possible castes, maybe I was nervous, it wasn't something dirty, but someone who was in a hurry to travel at night.

Or maybe the black blind man in the mountains and forests came out to forage for food, and the blind bear also walked on two legs, and in terms of pace, it was not much different from a normal person, but it was a little bigger than a normal person's pace.

I didn't dare to turn back, not only because I didn't know what was behind it, but also because if it was a blind bear, I would be putting my life in its hands.

However, the sound of such footsteps was so slight that it could not even be heard if you did not listen carefully, and it was completely obscured by the howling mountain wind.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that the last thing I wanted to believe was the Woolly Dog.

I've heard from the elders of our village about seeing the Dog, but I still haven't been able to figure out what the Dog is, except that it is terrifying, kills, and seems to be the most difficult of the ghosts to deal with.

It was told to me by an old man surnamed Zhu in my village, which is his personal experience, and I have always remembered this story, but I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing.

The surname Zhu is a lonely old man, who has no daughter-in-law in his life, and half of his face has completely shrunk, which looks particularly terrifying, but I am not afraid of him, because we are neighbors ourselves, and he is very good to me.

According to him, the main reason why he couldn't marry a daughter-in-law was that he met a woolly dog when he was young, and if it weren't for that, he would now have a house full of children and grandchildren.

Old man Zhu was also a surprisingly bold figure when he was young, he was never afraid of anything, and it was more common to walk at night, and the old people in the village persuaded him to walk less at night, because the population was still relatively small at that time, and there were only two or three hundred people out of the village.

At that time, people were very poor, unlike now, when the dead in the family were very large, and the whole funeral became quite grand, and the living were living in difficulty at that time, who could take care of the dead? Usually, rich people are buried in thin coffins, and they just find a cemetery and bury them.

As for those who have no money, it is even simpler, that is, relatives and friends come to mourn, and they don't even care about food, and they don't have a coffin, so they roll it up with a reed mat and bury it in a random place.

The number of dead people is heavy, especially in the east of our village, where there is a public cemetery, where almost every family member dies will be buried, so that there are still countless graves standing there.

One night, Lao Zhu went out to run errands, and when he came back at night, he passed by the cemetery in the east of the village, and when he had not yet reached the cemetery, he had just crossed a small bridge, and suddenly saw four or five children beside the road in the moonlight, all of them fat and chubby, very cute.

But the strange thing is that it was late October, and the weather was already very cold, and you needed to cover a thick quilt when you slept at night, but these children were all bare-bottomed.

Lao Zhu chuckled in his heart, he also knew that he had met a little ghost, these children were all little ghosts, the oldest was four or five years old, and the youngest even just knew how to climb.

As soon as they saw Lao Zhu coming over, these children suddenly stopped moving, and looked at him intently, their eyes full of cruel resentment.

At that time, when Lao Zhu said this, I was really scared of white sweat, although I like children very much, but imagine that if I saw a group of such children in that situation, it is estimated that I can directly scare me to death.

After all, Lao Zhu is a young man with strong blood, and he drank some wine at a friend's house, and the wine is so strong and courageous, he walked over without dodging, and was not intimidated by the eyes of those children at all.

At that time, when Lao Zhu talked about his experience, he said with emotion: "Ghosts are still afraid of people, if it wasn't for the fact that I met a woolly dog later, I wouldn't have become like this." ”

I simply threw myself to the ground with the five bodies that Lao Zhu admired, this is a real man, a pure man, he can be so calm and calm when he knows that he has encountered a ghost, I can't do it myself, even a little ghost can scare me stupidly.

When Lao Zhu walked among the children, the children suddenly spoke to him: "Carry us for a while, right?" ”

Lao Zhu snorted coldly, and said in his heart that I am in the prime of yang, you are looking for death, you dare to let me carry it, I will carry it, and I don't believe it, what evil place can there be?

At that time, Lao Zhu agreed, and when four or five children saw that he agreed, they jumped on him one after another, and Lao Zhu did not refuse, directly clasped his hands back, and walked in the direction of home with the children on his back.

When they walked to the entrance of the village, those children couldn't hold their breath and asked Lao Zhu to put themselves down, because the village is beautiful and popular, no matter how powerful these ghost things are, after all, they are obscure things that can't see the light, and the popularity of the village forced them to dare not approach.

"If you want to come up, you can come up, and if you want to go down, how can there be such a cheap thing? Since I'm carrying it on my back, come home with me. ”

Lao Zhu ignored the words of those children, and still walked quickly towards the village, but he felt that he was getting heavier and heavier, four or five children, at best, more than a hundred catties, but now he felt as if he was carrying three hundred catties of things.

I have to sigh that the people of today do not have the strength of the people of the past, the young people of the past carried more than 100 catties of things to rush and did not have anything to do, and now there is no one who is willing to carry more than 100 catties of things to walk, and even such a short distance from the head of the village to the end of the village will ride a bicycle battery car or something.

"If you don't put us down, we're going to scare you!"

When those children saw that the request was invalid, they immediately became anxious, and they turned into all kinds of terrifying things in front of Lao Zhu's eyes, one of the children became blue-faced and fanged, and their bright red tongues spit out half a foot long, dangling in front of Lao Zhu's eyes.

But Lao Zhu was really bold, he didn't blow it out, he wasn't moved at all, his hands were tightly clasped behind his back, and he soon walked into the village.

When he walked to the main road in the village, the weight on his back suddenly became much lighter, as if there was nothing left, but Lao Zhu knew that there must be something, but he didn't dare to harm himself anymore.

When he got home, Lao Zhu immediately asked his family to put the lamp in his hands, and as soon as he let go of his hands, he made a noise and dropped four or five mourning sticks from his back.

Everyone should understand the mourning stick, that is, after the death of a person, the filial sons and grandchildren of the family carry the one, it is said that the guy in the hands of black and white impermanence is the mourning stick, but the people are much more advanced.

"What's going on?"

Seeing Lao Zhu come back with a few mourning sticks, Lao Zhu's mother was frightened. Hurry up and ask. Lao Zhu told the matter one by one, and then ignored his mother's prevention, lit a fire and put a few mourning sticks in the fire and burned them.

The strange thing is that those mourning sticks should be able to be lit even though they are rotten, but when they are placed in the fire for a long time, they can see the smoke and not the fire.

Lao Zhu was ruthless, took out a bottle of kerosene from under the bed and poured it on it, and suddenly the fire was in full bloom, and several mourning sticks were burned to crackle, and finally ignited, and finally burned to ashes, and the black smoke hovered over their house for a long time before dissipating.

After this time, Lao Zhu's courage became even greater, he thought that his life was very hard, even those evil things were not his opponents, and he was even more unscrupulous when he walked at night.

Finally, one night half a month later, he came across something that he regretted for the rest of his life, the woolly dog.

It was also a moonlit night, in fact, most of the hellish things happened on a moonlit night, I don't know if it was a rule, the weird things that happened when the moon was dark and the wind was high were often the mountain spirits and water charms people, not dirty things.

Lao Zhu attended a classmate's wedding, and on the way back, he still passed by the small bridge, and after crossing the small bridge, he suddenly shivered inexplicably.

Usually at this time, people will scold two sentences, no matter what the scolding is, in short, it is difficult to hear, which means to warn those invisible things, don't mess with me, Lao Tzu is very powerful.

Lao Zhu is the same, although he is very confident in his courage, he does not have the courage to challenge this kind of rules that have been passed down for thousands of years, and he also scolded a few words.

As soon as he finished scolding, Lao Zhu found that there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and he didn't look back, just walked straight forward, and when he passed by the cemetery, he suddenly felt a pair of big furry paws on his shoulders, and followed him step by step.
