"But we didn't see any movement, Huangshan may have been scolded by us, plus the brain itself is a bit of a problem, we don't care, let him go back to rest, Huangshan this kid was obedient, so he went back." Granny Li said this and sighed, "At that time, I alone thought that this child was not talking nonsense, but it was difficult to resist the crowd and failed to stop it, but nothing happened during the cremation, but it happened that night." ”

When the county magistrate and I heard this, we all cheered up, and what happened next was probably a little unusual.

Granny Li paused for a while, took a few breaths, and then continued: "That night, everyone in the village had a dream, dreaming that their old wife or brothers and sisters were eaten by a giant snake, including me, my wife has been dead for so many years, and I can't remember it clearly, but that night I dreamed of him clearly, and I felt terrible to think about it, and everyone was discussing this matter when I got up early the next morning, but I didn't find Huangshan, and he usually got up early in the morning to work. His father and mother went to his room and opened the door, and found that there was no one inside, Huangshan...... Missing! ”

"Ah...... How so. I was surprised and said, "Did you find him?" ”

"......No," Granny Li shook her head and sighed, "But later a few people in the village saw him and said that he had turned into a snake." ”

"Turned into a snake?" The prefectural commander didn't believe it and said, "What's the situation, it can't be true." ”

"I don't know, but it doesn't look fake. If one person lies, it is impossible for several people to lie too. "And those are all men who have grown up in the village since childhood, and now they have grandchildren, they went hunting that day, and when they went to the depths, they found a figure inside, and seemed to be watching them...... They came back and went door to door to inform that they had seen Huangshan and that their head had turned into a snake's head...... It's exactly the same as that green snake! It is said that the green snake is coming back to find us, and if someone knocks on the door, usually open it after seeing it clearly. ”

"I'm telling you, I'm telling you to be careful at night and during the day, and don't open the door indiscriminately...... You know kid. ”

No wonder I came back and knocked on the door this time, and I opened the door after asking clearly, it turned out that this was the reason, and I said to Granny Li: "Well, we know, thank you Granny Li." ”

"Don't rush to thank you yet, there's more to come." Granny Li said, "From the day we had strange dreams, it seems that everyone in our village has begun to be unlucky, they can't hunt prey when they go out of the mountains, and the people at home always don't eat, so they starve to death, and some people even start to get strange diseases, their eyes have turned dead gray, and their teeth have become sharp...... It wasn't until a month ago that a man named He Zitian came, he entered the ancestral tomb mountain, I don't know what he did, after coming out, the luck of our village began to improve, but he didn't solve the matter and left, how the people in the village couldn't stay, he said he couldn't solve it, and he would call someone else to solve it...... The nightmare continued, but then it didn't get so unlucky, but the person he said never came. ”

"Did he leave anything else behind?" I knew that their so-called strange disease must have been injured by my great-grandfather, so I didn't ask much or say more, so that they could think that it was a strange disease, so as not to disturb people's hearts.

"Not really...... That's the end of the matter. ”

Then we exchanged pleasantries for a while, I pulled the county magistrate to get up, thanked Granny Li, and then left her house, after going out, I said to the county magistrate: "I don't know if this story is true or not, what do you think?" ”

The county order said: "Anyway, I don't believe it very much, you say that there is such a thing as a ghost, even if you say that there is such a thing, how can a living person turn his head into a snake?" Isn't ......that?"

"Don't you think it's nonsense that there are ghosts in the world? And you have this bottle with a female ghost in it, which is even more nonsense. I said, "So let's believe it first, before we see it, I'd rather believe it than believe it, and you sleep well at night, otherwise the snake will crawl on you, haha." ”

"Rely on ......" the county magistrate kicked me gently, "Lao Tzu is protected by a female ghost, I'm afraid of hanging, but you don't want to be swallowed by a snake, but seriously, this kind of thing is really rather credible than believable." ”

I shrugged my shoulders, stuck out my tongue and said, "What's next?" There is a snake in the mountain, I originally planned to go in to find out if He Ye left a clue or something, but now I don't know how to do it. ”

"Didn't He Ye say in the letter that someone from your exorcist clan was coming over, why didn't he come yet?" The prefectural magistrate said, "Although I am smart and clever, I don't know what to do now, so I can only wait for that person to come." ”

"Hey...... Forget it, it's half past eleven, let's go back to the second father's house first. I said, "After dinner, there must be people in this village, and last night I heard footsteps walking in front of our house." ”

The county commander looked horrified: "No, damn, it's so terrifying, why don't I know." ”

"Of course you don't know, you sleep like that."

"What then? Do you want to say that you sleep like a pig? ”

I coughed twice and said, "I didn't say it, you said it yourself, you can't blame me." ”

County order: "You are the pig, rely on ......"

"What? Who do the pigs say? I asked.

"Say you!"

"Yes, yes, the pig said me, hahaha." I looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, I smiled triumphantly.

Bang!

"Ouch"

"Damn, it's ...... Hit a tree! I touched my forehead.

Now the county commander smiled, he smiled proudly, he looked up to the sky and smiled: "Haha, you can't be a man, haha, too carried away!" This is retribution, haha......"

"Hey, county order, come and see, there are words on the tree."

The county magistrate said disdainfully behind me: "Don't you want to lie to me, are you trying to trick me into the past and press me to the tree and hit me?" I'm not fooled. ”

I said depressedly: "There are really words on this tree, I am not a person to lie to you, now I always believe it, grandma's." ”

Only then did the county magistrate come over suspiciously, stared at the small tree I bumped into and said, "Damn, there are really words, who carved it?" ”

"You really said to Xiao Wu, why do you love to rely on it so much, if you don't rely on you, you will die." I said, "Look at what's engraved on it, I can't read it." ”

The county magistrate stared at the three or four rows of crooked words on the tree for a long time, and then read them out word by word: "Little, Xiaolong? Damn, it's written to you. Little dragon, I, is, old man, you, this, down, unlucky, the, son, Ken, will, bump, on, this, seed, tree. ”

I said, "It was left by He Ye!" It's supposed to be an unlucky child, isn't it? ”

"I said most of it, and of course I knew I made a mistake." The county magistrate said, "He Ye is really a god!" You can guess it, you unlucky boy! ”

I said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, you're just a bad child, keep looking at the rest below." ”

"I recognized it a long time ago." The county order said, "What is engraved below, it is not that you are unlucky, He Ye cast a spell on the tree, as long as you pass by here, you will bump into it, and find the words on it, he said that after you see the words on it, you will do it according to the method he left." ”

"How?"

"Said that after dark at night, find a place to erect three white cloths, someone will come to you, don't attack him after you see that person, he has no malicious intent, he needs your help, He Ye said that he also wanted to help, but the degradation of Taoism is too great, and he really can't help, so I handed over this glorious and arduous task to you."
