"Shh Zhang Xiaohua immediately stretched out a finger and put it to her mouth, made a silent gesture, and then cautiously glanced out of the door a few times before turning around and lowering her voice: "Be quiet, don't invite it." ”

I looked at Zhang Xiaohua with a cautious expression, staring at me very seriously, as if signaling me not to mention the word "ghost" again, otherwise,,,

Since I walked out of Eighteen Mile Village to the present, I have seen more ghosts and monsters than this girl has seen, if it is an ordinary ghost, I can easily settle it, they are afraid of me too late, I still need to be afraid of them, it's a joke, but seeing Zhang Xiaohua looking at me with a threatening look, I couldn't help but be happy, and said: "What are you afraid of, even if you really have, I can't eat you, hehe." ”

Lao Zhang suddenly interjected: "Okay, Huahua, don't make trouble, Chu Qi is right, no matter how powerful it is, it's just one breath, and it can't eat people, we don't do bad things in our lives, and we're afraid of what those ghosts and monsters will do." ”

The old lady poked her crutches on the ground dissatisfied, and said, "Dead old man, as long as you are not afraid, everyone is preparing something outside, and our family is fine, not only does we have nothing, but we also shout some taboo words." ”

Lao Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, okay, I won't talk about it, you two go to sleep in the East House, I will sleep in the West House with the seventh day of the first month tonight, go to sleep, don't that useless heart in the woman's family." ”

Zhang Xiaohua helped the old lady to walk towards the east house, and when she approached the door, she suddenly turned her head to look at me, and opened her mouth to make a silent gesture. ”

I smiled, and happened to be seen by Lao Zhang at this time, and immediately glared at Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua pouted, glanced at me, and helped the old lady into the east house.

Closing the door, Lao Zhang and I walked into the West House, moved the oil lamp in the hall to the West House, the originally dark West House suddenly brightened up a lot, a wide bed, the quilt was neatly spread on it, Lao Zhang smiled and said: "The seventh day of the first month, go to bed early." ”

Naturally, I didn't feel sleepy, and hurriedly asked Lao Zhang: "Uncle, why do all the dead people in your village use bamboo rafts to bury them, and ,,。 ”

Lao Zhang's face turned cold, and he interrupted me and said, "That's not a water burial, that's defilement." ”

"Hmm." I frowned and said, "Removing filth, what is removing filth, is there something filthy on that corpse?" ”

Lao Zhang's face was a little ugly, he was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Chu Qi, can you really help our village." ”

I said noncommittally: "Since I have encountered this incident, and this incident attracted me, if you can help, you can do your best, uncle, you can say it." ”

Lao Zhang lowered his head and thought for a while, before he slowly spoke: "Alas, the old rules in the village, but all those who are contaminated with that thing have become extremely ominous filth, according to the rules left by the ancestors, they cannot be buried in the village, and they must be removed from the ancestral home, just when there is never such a person in our village, and then let him go down the river and completely cut off relations with our village, so that our living people can retain the auspicious atmosphere and get rid of filth." ”

I nodded slightly, I understood a little, it turned out that the corpse I saw before was the filth removed by the people of Zhangjia Village, but ,,, he was clearly a corpse, how could it be compared with filth, this is too disrespectful to the deceased, right?

After thinking about it, I said, "Uncle, what is the name of the young man who died today, when I entered the village, I saw his mother crying at the entrance of the village, so sad." ”

Lao Zhang sighed again and said: "His name is Xiaolou, Zhang Xiaolou, their family ,,, but he has only one son,,, alas, his mother is not easy, it is not easy to pull such a son, it is not easy to raise Xiaolou as an adult, and before he married a wife and had children to honor himself, he watched his son float away along the river, how can he not be sad." ”

I also sighed, yes, the little mill master of alpaca village, isn't it the same, to say that people in this life, experience three disasters and nine tribulations, it's like the sky falling, and in the end only alone is sad,

Lao Zhang said that he was sad, his voice suddenly raised a little, and he said angrily: "I don't know where the dead skin girls came from, they always pestered some young men in the village, hum, now the whole village is stirred up to talk about ghosts, and no one dares to go out when it gets dark, and some of them also get some dog blood to smear on the blade and hang it on the door, some are posing for gods and some are burning paper money every day, I am not afraid of it, if I touch it, I have to break its neck." ”

Haoran righteousness, emanating from Lao Zhang's body, I can't help but open the eyes of the sky, it is really a resolute temperament, no wonder I am not afraid of any evil, in fact, Lao Zhang is like this, it is the temperament that many ordinary people should have, life in the world, when raising Haoran righteousness into the body, what are you afraid of,

However,,, ordinary evil will not be anything, but anything that has a little Taoism is not something that ordinary righteousness can resist, I think that the outside thing does not intend to toss Lao Zhang's home at all, otherwise Lao Zhang is full of righteousness and can't resist it, because since that thing can entangle a few people in a row, the Tao must be not small, well,

I said, "By the way, uncle, are you all surnamed Zhang here, I think your village here is very big." ”

Lao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Not exactly, there are four villages here together, it looks not small, our Zhangjia Village is a village, to the south is Niujia Village, to the west is Xiaozhuang Village, and the northwest of Xiaozhuang Village is Yanjia Village, if you want to say that there are more people in our Zhangjia Village, the population of the other three villages is very small." ”

I frowned and said, "Did anything like this happen in the other three villages?" ”

Lao Zhang thought about it, shook his head uncertainly, and said, "There shouldn't be,,。 ”

"Ugh." I smiled in amazement: "What do you mean that there shouldn't be, you villages are all together, can such a big thing not spread." ”

"Knock Knock~~~"

As I was talking, I heard a gong sound on the street outside, and I couldn't help but look at Lao Zhang, who immediately turned his head and blew out the oil lamp on the bedside, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

I hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?" ”

"Stop talking loudly." Lao Zhang whispered, and then said slowly: "This is a patrol team composed of several crop men in the village, after nine o'clock in the evening, that is, at sea, knocking on this time, is to let the villagers hide at home to sleep, no one should go out, until tomorrow dawn can open the door to go out, and at this time, make a sound, and then what happens is the creation of each family, no matter whether the dead or not, no one will dare to go out to take care of things, go to sleep." ”

Slowly adapted to the dark environment, but I felt that there was some brightness outside the window, after all, there was moonlight outside, I quietly looked out of the window for a long time, and then smiled slightly, and said that I was not afraid, in fact, it was also a face, not afraid,

When the time comes, I'm going to meet the ghost thing that scared the villagers and ruined their homes.

After a while, after hearing Lao Zhang's sound of sleeping, I quietly got out of bed, opened the door and walked out.
