1. Door yin
My hometown is a village called Waxi Village, the name of the village is a bit of an ethnic minority, but it is an authentic gathering place for Han people.
My family has four generations in the same house, and when I was born, the old lady was still alive, and in my impression, the old lady would carry a soft recliner made of thin bamboo and sit in the sun in his yard every day after lunch.
The old lady is a little fat, with a round face, long eyebrows, full of white hair, and a face always with a smiling expression, giving people a kind old man who feels like to ride on the old lady's legs since I was a child, and the old lady will not only not drive me, but also stuff some snacks such as pine nut candy and rice cakes into my mouth, and the rest of the children in the family and my generation have not even had the opportunity to smell it, so the old lady is the closest person I was to when I was a child.
Not only the old lady, the rest of the elders in the family are also very fond of me, today this uncle bought me a dress, tomorrow the aunt took me to the market to see the excitement, the day after tomorrow my parents bought me all kinds of fun toys, I am ignorant I always take this qiē for granted, I am the eldest grandson of the long house, and the family should be nice to me.
I never thought that the most important reason why adults would do their best to care for me and love me was not because they liked me, but because the purpose of giving birth to me was to send me to death.
My family has a terrible curse, each generation of the eldest son does not live to be seven years old, whether it is to send the child away, ask the gods, ask the monk to bless, this curse is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, when the child grows to the age of seven, he will vomit blood until he dies.
And the cause of this predicament is my kind, long-lived old lady, in detail, because of an accidental discovery when the old lady was digging a well 80 years ago.
As a small village in the deep mountains, Waxi Village has its perennial green mountains and green waters, like a paradise, but no one can imagine that under this peaceful and beautiful scenery, there is a terrifying forbidden land that does not know when it started and has been extinct forever.
Little did the old lady know that the hole he had dug would bury his parents and grandchildren for the next eighty years.
At that time, he thought that he had dug up an ancient tomb full of treasures, and that he had overcome his fear, so he slipped down with a rope around his waist.
At first, the old lady did not find anything of value in the catacombs, but just as he was about to return in despair, he found a crystal coffin in an inconspicuous chamber, in which lay a beautiful woman in a red wedding dress and a shawl with her hair.
Although it was only a corpse, the woman's face was lifelike, and even under the light of the torches, her face was slightly flushed.
The old lady is a well-known local hunter, who goes in and out of the mountains and forests all day long, has seen a lot of evil things, and is also a knowledgeable person, the coffin and female corpse in this tomb are extremely strange, and this place must be unknown.
But wealth is fascinating, and even though he knows that this place is risky, the old lady still fixes his eyes on the golden collar and bracelet worn by the female corpse's wrist and neck.
Every ornament has the thickness of a thumb, and any one of them is enough for the old lady's family to eat and drink for ten years, so after hesitation, the old lady made the most wrong decision in his life, he wanted to take these three gold objects.
So he had the courage to smash open the crystal coffin.
I didn't expect that after coming into contact with the air, the original lifelike female corpse instantly dried up and decayed into a pile of pale yellow powder, leaving only the red dress and three gold objects.
The old lady thought that an ominous one had disappeared with the female corpse turning into powder, and crawled out of the hole with three gold objects in his arms in his ecstasy, and after sealing the entrance of the cave, the old lady was excited to stop the well, and ran home to take out the three gold objects, and put them in front of the old lady to tell her that they were dug out of the soil, and the old lady did not mention anything about the female corpse and the ancient tomb.
The old lady didn't know the inside story, thinking that it was lucky, and happily thanked her ancestors for their protection, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, but she didn't know that the woman in red and with a pale face had followed the old lady into the house at this moment.
It is said that windfall is easy to come by, but it is not easy to guard, the old lady thought about it and finally decided that it was safest to hide under the soil, so the old lady dug a pit to hide the utensils under the grapevines in the back of the house.
He felt that it was not safe to be shallow, so he wanted to dig deeper, but he dug more than half a meter deep as soon as he dug.
He actually dug up a coffin of black lacquered wood in the soil layer of his yard.
Although the old lady was scared enough, he still tried to comfort himself that this qiē was just a coincidence.
But soon he learned that it was no coincidence.
On the seventh day after this, his eldest son, my grandfather, suddenly vomited blood, and every day he vomited a bowl full of blood, and within a few days he was gone, when he was celebrating his seventh birthday.
Only then did the old lady know that the coffin was prepared for the boss, and the retribution that should have been counted on him was counted on his son.
The old lady didn't know if there would be a second or third, so he didn't care about being afraid and dug up the black coffin.
Fortunately, there was no coffin underneath, but when the old lady removed the lid of the coffin, he found that a neat red dress was placed inside.
It was the long dress worn by the woman in the crystal coffin.
The old lady knew that he had provoked evil spirits, and that the three gold rings should not be taken at all, so he put the gold rings in the coffin and buried them in the earth.
Then the family was calm, and the old lady even thought that this matter might end like this, but when the uncle was seven years old after he was born, he began to vomit blood, and he couldn't stop it at all, and the family could only watch him die.
On the day after the uncle's death, the old lady was crazy, he dug out the black coffin and pointed at the coffin and scolded: You vicious woman, even if you destroy your body, my family has also been killed by you, why don't you stop, okay, since you want to kill everything, I have nothing to be afraid of, let's fight to the death. With that, he lit the coffin and set it on fire.
But everyone knew in their hearts that this curse did not stop with the disappearance of the coffin, and the boss of each generation of the old Qin family would definitely die of blood tuberculosis.
And I'm the boss of the fourth generation.
In fact, when I was a child, I was very healthy, I could run and jump, I could go crazy and make trouble, and there were few children in the village who climbed trees and picked up birds' eggs to be my opponents.
Soon after my father gave birth to me, he had three younger brothers, and I didn't know that they had come to earth to fill my void, because I could die at any moment.
In this way, I grew up to the age of seven without any illness or disaster, and after that, in addition to vomiting blood like my uncle and uncle before me, I also saw the woman with a pale face, long hair and a shawl, and a red dress like them.
But at the time I didn't know if I actually saw it or if it was my hallucination.
Because every time I saw her, it was just a blink of an eye, and when I blinked my eyelids a second time, she disappeared.
But if I keep my eyes open, she will always be in my line of sight and look at me like that.
When I had another accident, the family did not panic in the slightest, because I had been mentally prepared for a long time, and even the coffin was ready to stop.
Later, my father sued me that the reason why I didn't die was because the old lady died.
Because long before my uncle's accident, the Ning family next door had come to tell him that he could break the curse, but the premise was that the eldest of the family must follow them out to work.
Speaking of the Ning family is a well-known family in our village, as early as the seventies and eighties, when the peasants only knew how to dig in the soil, their family worked outside and made a lot of money, at that time every household in the village still lived in mud houses, and their family had built a two-story red brick building.
However, in the mid-seventies, Aunt Sanshun, the daughter-in-law of the Ning family, gave birth to a son not long after she ran into an evil spirit in the barren mountains, and the people in the village said that the child was born to her and the monster, and it was a bad seed.
The old lady was originally a very typical peasant with traditional ideas in that era, and felt that the croppers should do their duty, and if they didn't farm well, they cheated money outside every day, which was no different from thieves and robbers.
When it comes to this, there is naturally no need to talk about it anymore, but when I was born two years later, the old lady returned to the West, and by the mid-eighties, the peasants' minds gradually became lively, so seeing my appearance, my father decided to go to the Ning family.
At that time, the old Ning head who was negotiating with his grandfather had passed away, and the person who came was his son, and I called Dong Ye's Ning family patriarch, seeing my appearance, Dong Ye sighed and said: At that time, if your grandfather listened to my father, why would it be like this.
Dad said with a sad face: Uncle Dong, let's not mention the past, this kid begs you to give him a way to live.
That's what I'm here for, Quan'er, do you know what your family is provoking in the hell?
It's supposed to be a female ghost, right? Dad said.
No, this is not a ghost, but a kind of dirty thing called yin. Yin? Dad was puzzled.
That's right, in fact, the ghosts that ordinary people say include four categories, namely nightmares, ghosts, yin, and evil, the most harmless to people here is precisely the ghost that people are most afraid of, and the other three nightmares are murderous, evil is harmful, and yin is haunting, and if you provoke it, it will always follow your family and will not be extinguished, and the ghost will not disperse This kind of dirty thing. Dongye did not shy away from saying this in front of me.
