Chapter 18: Possession
After the man left, the sound of the bang was obviously closer to them, but it was more erratic, not in one place, but constantly changing positions, and the two of them were finally afraid, and looked around with flashlights, but they could not find it.
After looking for nearly half an hour, the person who went home did not come back, and the two adults were also weak-hearted, and the people in the village said, "It's not early, I should go back to sleep." ”
After speaking, he left in a hurry, and after he left, Zhang Jie's father was left alone, he was even more afraid, and said in his heart, even if the peach tree was cut away, he would never look at it again, and hurry home.
Thinking of going home, he took a flashlight and walked straight to his house, from here to his house is very close, in fact, only a few steps, across a few wheat fields, through his own door.
However, wherever he goes, the sound of bangbang follows wherever he goes, as if he is right around him, but there is nothing with a flashlight, this time he is even more scared, but he doesn't dare to run, because he has also heard the elders say that when encountering such a thing, the first thing is that you can't run, as soon as you run, it will know that you are weak-hearted, and it will show its true appearance to scare you, or even kill you directly.
Only by being silent and following the normal steps, it is not sure whether you have a weak heart and does not dare to make a mistake, and when it comes to a place with many people, they will naturally give up following.
Zhang Jie's father thought this at the time, and resolutely did not look back, even if the thing was attached to his back, he could only look at it, because he was also afraid, in case he turned around and saw a grimace behind his back, it would be too scary.
And once you turn back, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any accidents, anyway, it's only a few steps to get home, and if that thing really follows him home, he will have a way to deal with him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jie's father quickened his pace slightly, and soon arrived at his door, and the thing actually followed to the door.
After pushing the door in, the cattle and sheep dogs raised by Zhang Jie's family suddenly woke up from their sleep, the dogs barked at nothingness, and the cattle and sheep were also restless. Zhang Jie's father thought to himself, he really dared to come home with him, he really didn't take me seriously?
Directly to the door of the hall, behind the door he put a double-barreled old sleeve, at that time there was no gun control, every village had a few guns, I remember when I was a child, the village chief's house rifles and pistols combined a dozen, more than enough to arm a squad.
Zhang Jie's father's gun is anti-thief, it is iron sand, and it is a large piece when it is blasted out, except that the safety is closed, and the gun is always filled with gunpowder in the chamber, and the kind that can be shot when the safety is opened.
At that time, Zhang Jie's father picked up the shotgun behind the door and opened the safety with two shots, and directly blasted in the direction of the family's dog barking, only to see a firelight with a terrible scream jump out of his yard and fly straight to the southeast.
Later, after a knowledgeable person in the same village learned about this incident, he specially ran to tell Zhang Jie's father that this was a toad in an old well in the southeast of the village that had become a sperm and wanted to possess him, but he was injured by him with a shotgun, so this toad spirit would definitely come to take revenge on their family, but they didn't know who it should be, so they must be extra careful in the near future.
For the words of this knowledgeable person, Zhang Jie's father really didn't dare to slack off, God knows whose idea the toad spirit would hit his own family, but he was also quite puzzled, why would he target their family?
The knowledgeable person said that their house is the closest to the old well in the southeast of the whole village, and the toad spirit chose his family in order to save trouble, and there is only one way to completely cut off this kind of trouble, that is, to fill the well with quicklime and completely seal the toad essence inside, otherwise something will happen sooner or later.
Zhang Jie's father didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bought a lot of quicklime back, fortunately, the price of quicklime was very cheap at that time, and all of them were transported to the side of the old well, so that the knowledgeable people selected a day, and poured nearly a thousand catties of quicklime into the well.
At this moment, the whole old well seemed to be boiling, and the white smoke suddenly billowed out, and there was a gurgling sound in the well, and the well water was boiled, and at this time, even if there was a dragon in the well, it had to be cooked.
For a moment, I only heard a miserable scream from the bottom of the well: "You have broken my Taoism for five hundred years, and I will not let go of your ......."
After hearing this, the face of the knowledgeable person in the same village suddenly turned pale, and he left silently without saying a word, but after two years, the knowledgeable person moved out of the village and disappeared from the village.
The spring breeze of reform and opening up blew into this small village, Zhang Jie's father relied on his own skills in making cakes, and the son became prosperous day by day.
However, when Zhang Jie was in the second grade of middle school, his father cleaned the cattle pen one day, and found that the nails nailed to the wall and hung wires fell off, and the wires hung down, and they were always in the way when they worked.
So, he used his hand to hold it up, wanting to hang the wire on a higher place, so as not to hinder his work, but the accident happened, and the wire did not know whether it was too old for a long time, or it was gnawed by rats, in short, the aluminum wire inside was exposed, and he immediately stuck to it, and he couldn't get rid of it.
I once heard a person who was electrocuted say that the person who was electrocuted knew very well in his heart and knew what would happen next, but he didn't have any strength in his body, as if his whole body was not his own, and he couldn't even call for help.
At that time, the family went out, only he was alone, the result can be imagined, if you don't rescue immediately after the electric shock, the electrocution will only take a few minutes, he was electrocuted for three hours, and the big man of one meter and eight finally shrank nearly 20 centimeters, and the moisture all over his body was dried and he did not break free from the wire.
The family didn't know what was going on, but there was still a scrap collector passing by their door, feeling thirsty, and wanted to go in and ask for a glass of water, only to find that he had been electrocuted in the bullpen.
The scrap collector was so frightened that he didn't even bother to drink water, and rushed out of their yard screaming.
As soon as the surrounding neighbors heard that the electrocution had died, their first thought was impossible, because Zhang Jie's father wanted to come and put the phrase that electricity is a tiger on his lips, and it was impossible for anyone to be electrocuted, but the panic on the face of the collector did not look like he was lying, so they came to their house in groups.
When I entered the bullpen, I found that the whole person had been electrocuted, and the boss with his scorched black body and open mouth had already died.
At this time, everyone panicked and hurriedly sent someone to find Zhang Jie's family to come back.
The funeral was quite grand, because there was no ice coffin, the corpse began to decay after seven days, the pungent smell smoked people's brains, and the steward saw that there was no way, so he had to order to buy more than a dozen new towels, and then pour wine on the new towels, so that each person who carried the coffin covered his face with a towel to avoid the smell of smoking the dead.
Finally settled into the ground, this matter can be regarded as the past, but it is still not over, Zhang Jie's father has an old cousin from the same village as him, and he is also five big and three thick, he has a son, named Liang Beizhan, who is already twenty-seven or eighteen, but there is no object yet, because people have some bad souls, that is, stupid meaning, and they seem to have one less soul than normal people.
Zhang Jie's father and Liang Beizhan's father are cousins, and he and Liang Beizhan are naturally brothers of the second cousin.
However, it was this old cousin who drank in the village commissary one night two years after Zhang Jie's father's death, because he was too honest and others liked to pour him, and as a result, he drank high.
The wine was drunk until more than eleven o'clock at night, and when everyone dispersed, Liang Beizhan also staggered away, he was a simple and bold, he didn't know what it meant to be afraid, plus alcohol was bold, his eyes were blurred and he didn't know how to come to Zhang Jie's father's grave, he didn't think much about it, the wine came up, and he fell asleep directly on the grave.
When I woke up the next morning, the whole person was wrong, I stood up and moved my body, ran home with a gust of wind, saw his father, and patted my father on the shoulder and said: "Old watch, I left early, there is only one son left in the family, I can't rest assured, you must take care of it for me, please." ”
Liang Beizhan's father felt that the cold sweat came down all of a sudden, and the cold hairs on his body stood on end, only to feel a chill on the back of his head and a knot in his tongue.
Because at this time, Liang Beizhan's tone of speech, including his expression, was almost exactly the same as his dead old watch.
"Release, release, rest assured, I, I, I must, must, take care of, take care of, take care of."
Liang Beizhan's father felt that he couldn't speak, although the weather was hot at that time, he was like falling into an ice cave, and he was cold, this is his own son! Even if a person is a little stupid, but he is still his own son, if the old watch is not gone, what can he do?
Fortunately, the affairs of their family soon became known, because some curious people saw Liang Beizhan coming home, and saw that his walking posture was a little wrong, and the whole person looked gloomy, so they came over to see what was going on.
As soon as they heard him speak like this, the people outside knew that it was bad, and he must have been given by Zhang Jie's father, otherwise he would never talk to his father like this, and he spoke in a clear manner, just like when Zhang Jie's father was alive, the tone of his speech was the same.
Because Zhang Jie's father died a few years ago, everyone still has a deep impression of him, especially his peers, everyone still remembers this person, and it can be clearly judged from the demeanor and tone of his voice that it is him.
And a few people who drank together last night knew that Liang Beizhan slept on Zhang Jie's father's grave last night, plus Zhang Jie's father and Liang Beizhan's father were old cousins, and Zhang Jie's father only had one son, and the answer was about to come out.
Several young people stepped forward together, wanting to subdue him first, otherwise if a person is possessed by a ghost for a long time, his soul will definitely be damaged, and there is a possibility of hanging up.
However, Liang Beizhan was like a natural divine power, and the power that erupted was amazing, and seven or eight young men were stunned and didn't restrain him, and they were thrown by him one by one.
"Who are you? Hurry up, or don't blame me for being unkind. ”
Just when everyone was helpless, a middle-aged woman came over and shouted angrily at Liang Beizhan's nose with a righteous face, not afraid that Liang Beizhan, who was as powerful as an ox, would be unfavorable to her.
