Chapter 2 The Devil Calls the Door
The little ghost was no more than three feet tall, with green fangs and green skin, and was naked in a piece of animal skin, and he winked at her. Li Shi was shocked, and wanted to close the door when she panicked, but her body was immobilized like a spell, she wanted to wake up Lin Laoshi loudly, but no matter how hard she used, her throat couldn't make any sound.
Li settled his mind and meditated on Amitabha Buddha in his heart, but he saw that the whole world was gray, there were no stars and no moon, nothing could be seen in the courtyard, and his body was even more cold, knowing that this was pressed by ghosts, but other ghosts were lying on the bed, how could I stand up? Li Shi was puzzled in his heart, and felt even more frightened, but his mind was extremely clear, and he had heard that he could wake up immediately as long as he grinded his teeth when he encountered a ghost press, so he tried to close his mouth tightly.
With a hard effort, the upper and lower teeth collide and creak...... Creak...... The sound of her grinding teeth in the silent night was extremely loud, even Li Shi was startled by the sound of her teeth grinding, but no matter how she grinded her teeth, she still stood at the door and couldn't move, the little ghost looked at her and smiled: "It's useless for you to grind your teeth, my king will be there soon." ”
Li couldn't move, he could only watch, when he panicked, he listened to the drums in front of him, blowing and beating closer and closer, all kinds of flashing blue fire lanterns appeared in the gray world, and a group of ghosts appeared under the blue light, and the first one was two big ghosts like giants, these two big ghosts were bald, and their whole bodies were black, I am afraid that they were not three feet high, their eyes were fiery red, and they were very strange, and they each had a halter on their mouths, and they crawled forward on all fours, pulling a brocade car, and their huge nostrils were snorting and panting.
The brocade car is colorful, very small, but there are all kinds of ghosts around the car, some are holding lanterns in their hands, some are blowing suona, some are blowing sheng, beating drums, playing gongs, serving plates, holding incense...... is full of tricks, and this scene is as lively as Zhong Kui's marrying a sister.
There are hundreds of ghosts in this group, swaying and swaying, squeezing into the small courtyard with the brocade car, the courtyard of Lin Laoshi's house, the distance is only a dozen steps, and the ten people standing on it are all lively, and now there are so many ghosts, but the Li family doesn't feel the slightest crowd, but it seems that there is still a place.
The little ghost saw that the brocade car had entered the yard, and hurriedly bowed down and retreated, and the two giant ghosts swayed and pulled the car to about a zhang in front of Li's body, and his body suddenly straightened, and he raised his head and roared to the sky: "Whoa......" These two shouts, dull and loud, and the violent atmosphere filled the entire courtyard, Li was frightened and uneasy, but at this moment, a cool voice came from the brocade car: "Nonsense!" ”
These two words are not loud, but they are very clear and good, and they immediately suppressed the violent atmosphere in the sky, and then the curtain of the brocade car door opened, and a young man came out of it, this son had a smile on his face, wearing a colorful Xia robe, and wearing a crown of the king, which was an unknown evil god that Li worshipped in the rain today.
Li was remorseful and afraid, and didn't understand why this evil god had entangled him, and he was in doubt, so he heard the boy smile and say to her: "Don't be afraid, it's fate for you to worship me today, it's better for me to be your son." As he spoke, he turned into a white light and drilled into Li's stomach.
At this moment, hundreds of ghosts and monsters opened their teeth and danced their claws, dancing with their hands, and laughing in unison, as if celebrating something, Li was surprised, shouted out, turned over, and found that he could move, but there were still ghosts in front of him, and he saw that she was still lying on her own bed, and Lin was snoring around her.
It's just a nightmare, but this dream is too real, Li is still in a trance, and he didn't dare to sleep again all night, so he survived until the rooster broke dawn, and no strange things happened.
Said that the child was still passing day by day, but he didn't expect that a month later, Li felt vomiting and nausea, asked someone to touch the pulse, and was pregnant.
However, since she was pregnant with a child and her family was safe, Li felt that she had thought too much, and remembered what happened that day, and was afraid that the gods had sent her son to him, and remembered the oath he had made, so he felt that he had to repay his vows, so he told Lin honestly about the events of that day, and the husband and wife bought white noodles, steamed a pot of steamed buns, bought a pound of meat, and made a few dishes, so they went to find the small temple to repay their vows.
The temple is on Xiaoyin Mountain, this mountain is small, Lin Laoshi often goes up the mountain to cut wood but has never seen this temple, but he believes what his wife said, the two of them are sincere, looking around, Nazhi for seven days, almost turned the hill but never saw the temple again.
The husband and wife were helpless, so they were not looking for it, and gradually forgot about it, the Lin family was poor, unlike other families who could eat meat to raise the fetus, Lin honestly didn't say it, and he also understood that his daughter-in-law should eat something good, so he got up early and returned late to carry two months of long work for other people's families, bought two old hens that laid eggs, and touched two or three eggs for Li's body every day.
Time flies, three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and in winter, early in the morning, Lin honestly went to the chicken coop to touch the eggs as usual, stretched out his hand, not to mention the eggs, not even the two old hens, Lin Laoshi was stunned in his heart, knowing that it was broken, and took a closer look, there were a few chicken feathers scattered next to the chicken coop, two stalls of chicken blood, the blood had coagulated, and there were some white hairs.
The two old hens of Luhua were obviously taken by the fox, Lin was honestly resentful, and I said: "This thief fox, Wang Decai's dozens of chickens you don't steal, it's just that you're afraid of his family's vicious dog, but you steal it on your head, isn't it because I'm poor and honest and easy to bully?" Without these two chickens, what should my mother-in-law do to make up for herself? ”
Lin Laoshi was anxious again, and felt ashamed of the Li family, the more he thought about it, the bigger the fire, dragged the short axe of chopping wood in his arms, and chased along the blood trail to the back mountain, at that time, the people in the village were very in awe of the five immortals, the so-called five immortals, that is, the five immortals of Huliu, white, yellow and gray, that is, foxes, snakes, hedgehogs, weasels and mice. Especially the villages that support the mountains, they dare not provoke easily.
But Lin Laoshi was in a hurry, and he lost his temper, feeling that no matter what, he had to find the fox who stole the chicken to teach it a lesson, and the honest man lost his temper and was more terrible, far more stubborn than ordinary people, and went to the back mountain regardless of it.
The back mountain is high and dense, and trying to find the fox who steals the chicken is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, but it happened that there was a snow last night, the snow is not big, but the fox's footprints are clearly recognizable, and there are some scattered chicken feathers along the way.
This old tree is afraid that it is not less than a few hundred years old, but it is not a mature tree, not to mention, the tree is still pimpled, it has been half dead, this tree has a famous name called useless, it is said that the ship will sink if it is made into a boat, the coffin will be rotten if it is made into a coffin, the utensils will be broken when it is used, the door will not fit when it is used, and the pillar of the house will be bitten by insects. Even the splitting to burn the fire is a little too hard, so it has such a name.
Lin Laoshi circled around the tree, and saw that there was a big hole exposed behind the tree, which was faintly steaming out of white gas, and after a closer look, he found that there were dry weeds around the hole in the tree, and there was no snow nearby, and there was no trace of the fox's footprints next to the tree hole.
The strange thing is that this tree hole is not as fishy and foul as other fox holes, on the contrary, it looks very clean, Lin Laoshi didn't think much about it, picked up the branches and weeds in front of the tree hole, and got in, as soon as he entered this tree hole, Lin Laoshi was stunned for a moment, only to see that this hole was very spacious, it was even bigger than his house, and the ground was full of fat and thick matsutake mushrooms, and there were some indescribable flowers and fruits around.
Directly in front of the old pile of dead leaves lay on the three white foxes, one big is feeding the two little foxes, one of the two old hens of the reed flower is eaten only bones, the other straight and stiff on the side, presumably the fox wants to keep the next meal.
Seeing his two old hens in such a miserable state, Lin Laoshi suddenly became angry, and shouted and scolded: "What a thief fox, stealing my mother-in-law's food to nourish your cubs!" He pulled out the hatchet from his bosom and slashed at the white fox.
The white fox ate an old hen of Lin Laoshi's Luhua, and was lazily feeding the two fox cubs, where he thought that he was chased here, and it was a little late to see Lin Laoshi, and he panicked, Lin Laoshi's axe had been chopped off, and half of the white fox's tail was cut off.
The white fox was in pain, screaming and scurrying, and couldn't even take care of the two cubs, and when Lin Laoshi turned around, he had already escaped out of the tree hole, Lin Laoshi found a tree vine to tie up the two fox cubs, and went to see the remaining old hen of Luhua, at this time the remaining old hen of Luhua had already died, and the fox tooth marks on her body were very deep, and she couldn't give it to her mother-in-law.
Lin honestly saw that he had run away from the white fox, and his anger did not subside, so he smashed the fox nest and coaxed the two fox cubs out of the tree hole.
As soon as the cold wind blew out of the tree hole, Lin Laoshi calmed down, looked down at the two squeaky little foxes in his hands, and saw that the two little foxes were snow-white, without a single miscellaneous hair, their eyes were full of fear, and there seemed to be tears flashing in their little eyes. However, people are poor and short-sighted, these two little foxes are snow-white, without a single miscellaneous hair, sold to large families, although they can't make scarves, but there are still more than two gloves, how can they be exchanged for a few taels of broken silver, how can they be worth more than their own two old hens.
Thinking of this, Lin Laoshi was inevitably a little surprised, elated, and strode towards home, Nazhi walked too fast, the road down the mountain was slippery, one stumbled, fell to the ground, and the two fox cubs in his hands were thrown out, and happened to be thrown into a tree, he was thrown to pieces, but he still hurriedly stood up to pick up the two fox cubs, picked them up and looked, one was knocked unconscious, the other fell and burst his brain, and died so much that he couldn't die anymore.
