Chapter 4 The Night Wanderer in the Deserted House

It is said that Northeast women are bold, and I can be regarded as knowledgeable. This aunt just likes to joke around, and she is actually quite enthusiastic about me. beckoned me to sit down, knocked the tobacco bag pot, and went to the stove to serve rice when I got off the kang.

The food is simple, but it's extraordinarily fragrant. I was also hungry and devoured food, and she was even happier to see that I was not outside. While I was eating, she sat on the other side of the kang table and talked to me.

Not only did she know that I was carrying taboos, but even the meal was prepared in advance, and no one informed her beforehand. In fact, there is no need to tell in advance, she has a premonition about things in about three days.

To say why she is such an ordinary rural woman with such skills, it is because she is the legendary fairy of the horse. Inside the closed door of Westinghouse is the immortal family she supports.

Most of the fairies are not voluntary, and it can also be said that they have found her deep mountain spirit.

The four fairies of fox, yellow and white willow all have sensational legends, and they feel creepy when they think about it. I didn't want to ask, but she was very generous, chattering about her experience of going out of the horse with incense, and told me that it was Liu Xian. The so-called willow fairy is a snake, shamanism believes that everything in heaven and earth has a spirit, and the snake god has not molted and changed, and the legend has the ability to take pictures in the air, and it is the first of the four immortals. Strictly speaking, it is not taboo to peachwood, but the dagger is a sharp weapon after all, and it is still necessary to guard against it.

This aunt is called Yu Banxian, and she is actually the godmother of Mr. Fu. Mr. Fu arranged for me to live here, firstly, because it was nearby, and secondly, she could take care of this operation more or less. The house is not clean, but with her, there is no worries.

Near evening, while Yu Banxian went to the garden to pick vegetables, I sneaked out to call my mother. Surprisingly, he didn't set off, as if something was stumbling on his feet in Beijing. Now I panicked, I was expecting him to come, and we acted together in the light and in the dark. If he doesn't come, will it be up to me to take the lead? While making phone calls, I climbed the hill along the gentle slope behind the house. The line of sight gradually widened, and I was able to see the surface of the river. The old house is bathed in the dim yellow light, adjacent to the bend of the river, backed by the mountains and dense forests, and you can vaguely see the glory of the year.

I had a vague feeling that this place was not empty.

"Niangniang, listen to me, I think there are living creatures in this house."

He chuckled and said, "It's been empty for so many years, and it's close to the side of the mountain, it's normal for there to be living creatures entrenched, but it's not terrifying." ”

No, no, no, I'm not talking about animals, I have a very strong feeling that there are people in it, and they are living people.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and just when I thought it was a signal cut, there was a sudden sound of inhalation. The feeling that gave me a sigh of choking.

"I'm going now!"

Well? What kind of god twist is this? I was in a hurry to explain, but it was actually just a feeling, unfounded. But I think he still has to come after all, and the sooner the better for me. When the time comes, there will be no one, let's talk about it depending on the situation, so I didn't stop him. I didn't want him to travel in the starry night, but he actually touched the door when the sky was bright.

I was startled, and the wolf jumped up and ran out of the courtyard wall. Yu Banxian didn't shy away from it, so he slept in the south kang, and I slept in the north kang with my clothes. Hearing the movement outside, the two of us turned over and got off the kang almost at the same time. She was closer to the door than I was, and she walked out a few steps and yelled.

"Gaha, what's that?"

The night was quiet, and almost the whole village was greeted by him. I am very empty in my heart, knowing that Niangniang is good, I don't dare to guarantee that he can get out of the way. I hurriedly ran out to see, and five or six villagers had already surrounded me with flashlights.

My eyes were fixed on the cornfield, and there was a dirt road to escape through it. The wolf green protector didn't even chase him out, but just barked at the door. Its neck hair stood up, but its tail was clamped, and it retreated to the door while barking, actually afraid!

Yu Banxian was still very calm at first, and her first reaction when she noticed the dog's abnormality was to turn around and look at the window of the Westinghouse. I heard her "Mom", and her face changed.

I followed her gaze, and the curtain drawn by the Westinghouse kept stirring, as if the wind was blowing. There was a terrible smell in the air, and everyone covered their noses and took a few steps back.

"Auntie, what's going on?" A young man from the villagers stepped forward and asked. Yu Banxian pondered for a while and slapped his face.

"You smell this, and you're dead at night!"

Oh my mother, hearing her say this in the dark night made my legs go limp, it turned out that it wasn't exactly the mother's movement, there was something more threatening than him! Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and climb up the mountain together. I came to the place where I was calling, and when I looked down, everyone called out to my mother.

The river crashed against the embankment, and the waves rose with a green tide, spreading overwhelmingly to the land. The outline of the bend is reflected, and the old house at this time is like a dormant mirage, swallowing an ominous yin wind.

At this time, Yu Banxian, a middle-aged woman, was the most reliable existence among us, and I staggered to her side to hide in the soft mountain soil. This is not cowardice, when encountering this kind of incomprehensible thing, rash action is tantamount to looking for death.

"Yu, Aunt Yu, what's the situation?"

Yu Banxian turned around and patted my arm, telling me not to be afraid. She pointed to the side of the house and told us to stare at it. Everyone waited with bated breath for about three minutes before a beam of white light flashed.

"Is it ......" flashlight?

"It's a flashlight, or it's a good quality one."

I followed her words and added, "So it's someone?" ”

She nodded, and at this moment I thought of it, it must have been Niangniang who was exploring the way and shocked the spirit of the river. In this way, isn't the current situation of the mother very dangerous?

This can't be done, no matter how strong the mother is, he only has one person. Those ghosts are said to be water ghosts who drowned in the river, and they specially pulled people to be stand-ins in the middle of the night. The dead body sank at the bottom of the icy river and could not be reborn, and suddenly saw the living, where would it be spared?

Thinking of this, I can't care about being afraid, I must rush to help, or at least remind him. My phone is in my pocket, while everyone's attention is on the house. I blindly sent a text message to my mother: The wind is tight, and it is nonsense.

I don't know if he received the text message, and after observing for about ten minutes, he didn't see the flashlight light on again. Here, Yu Banxian beckoned everyone to go back, and also took me home.

After entering the door, I still didn't feel at ease, and the fairy in the West House was making a lot of noise. Maybe the mountain monster for many years has an aura, and at first glance it doesn't look like a snake spitting letters, and those who don't know think it's a person panting.

I hung my heart for my mother, and I didn't know where he was at the moment. This trip is a favor for me, and I'm really sorry for him if there is a three-long and two-short.

Yu Banxian didn't feel sleepy, and sat on the edge of the kang with a stiff face and loaded cigarettes. Seeing that I was uneasy, she simply took out a box of Zhonghua from the basket and handed it to me.

"Smoke one and freeze your mind, and look at you."

I don't smoke, but I took it anyway and had a good smell. Sitting next to her, I didn't know how to speak. After thinking about it, I should still take the initiative to explain, my mother is too bold. Maybe I'm still inexperienced, and I always feel that no matter how big the business is, I can't do it hard.

After listening to it, Yu Banxian didn't say a word, just smacked his lips and scolded with a smile: "Color".

I don't hear much of this word, eighty percent of it is similar to chicken thief, in short, it is not a compliment. Seeing that she didn't look very annoyed, I followed: "Aunt Yu, did that house empty because there were too many water ghosts?" ”

Yu Banxian puffed out a puff of smoke, came to a little spirit, changed his anger, and said in a low voice: "Don't that useless heart, and don't ask." I'll just tell you, those dead relatives have come here, and you guys are going to be unsettled on this trip. ”

Although my nerves are not strong, they are a little numb when they are scared. Her words did not scare me, but aroused my curiosity. She looked at me as a junior, and she was more or less willing to mention it, although she had reservations, she still told me a general outline.

The owner of that house is surnamed Bai and has been in the medicinal herb business for generations. The Bai family produces beautiful women, so this family is in-law with many local big families, such as the Fu family, the boss of the northern foundation. The Fu family was engaged in the mining business, and after the Bai family married them more than 30 years ago, they also chose a place to open a mine. The mountains here are high and densely forested, and there were no roads built at that time, so it was still difficult to transport timber, let alone ore? Therefore, most of the production of the mine is by waterway, which was originally the most convenient method, but when it comes to this big turn, ten ships and nine sinks. The most sensational thing is that the more the ship sinks, the better the Bai family's business will be, just because things are scarce and expensive. But in the long run, how can anyone be willing to work for the Bai family? They found a very famous Taoist aunt, who is said to have been invited from the foot of Changbai Mountain, surnamed Zhang, known as Zhang Yuelu. With the same name as the stars, it can be seen that the mana is not bad.

After Zhang Yuelu inspected the scene, she pointed out that the Bai family's bay was the resting place of the Dragon King of the River, and mortals were not allowed to disturb it. If you want to do business, you have to pay something. In other words, if you make money from the Dragon King's waterways, you have to compensate the gods. What do the gods want? I don't want money, I want human life.

So the Bai family's money was exchanged for their lives, how could such a big thing be hidden? At that time, many people regarded the Bai family as a disaster, and everyone stayed away. Harmony is the most important thing in business, so what should everyone do? It is said that the Bai family paid a great price in exchange for a way to live and work in peace and contentment, that is, to build a house at the bend. The size of the house must be more than twice the size of the population, and half of the river must be vacated for incense offerings to the water tribe and the dead.

No one knows what kind of price the Bai family paid, but after they built a house, this Jiangwan was really much more peaceful. The Bai family was relieved that they would no longer be involved in the mining business, and continued to operate medicinal materials, and the business was still thriving. Within three years, he became the richest man in Jiangwan. The daughters-in-law of the Bai family have the support of their mother's family, and they are in charge of any family they go, and they are in the limelight for a while.

It has never been easy to be proud for a long time, and soon, a business of the Bai family failed miserably, and it also offended a family that was said to have no one even dared to mention their surname. The Bai family can be called extremely rich, but after the incident, in order to save their lives, they abandoned the house, including everything in it.

At that time, the villagers of ten miles and eight townships came to watch when they heard the news, and the Bai family was evacuated from the long bridge barefoot only in their clothes. After that, no one came to receive it, and the old house was quickly looted and ransacked overnight.

The family of the girl who marries out is even more miserable, and the in-laws' family turns their faces faster than the book, and they must not be tolerated. After the incident, almost all of them chose to commit suicide, and those who were slightly better off still escaped into the empty door. The entire Bai family was uprooted and disappeared in Jiangwan ever since.

It was also the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and it has been thirty years until now.
