Chapter 134: Mountain God

I listened to it and hurriedly asked him about Jiang Shoushou's reaction.

After laughing twice, Dai Ma Gan continued: "Hehe, he was so frightened by the head in my hand that he sat on the ground, closed his eyes tightly and was in a trance, and babbled some inexplicable words again and again. He didn't have his usual calmness, but he didn't dare to approach like a child who had seen a ghost. I was baffled by his actions, the big apprentice of the Bone Reclamation Daoist would be afraid of the head of a dead man, and no one would believe it. Of course, I won't let go of this opportunity to know his roots, and he leaked out after repeated questioning......"

It turned out that Jiang Shoushou had a withdrawn personality since he was a child, and he was not scared when he saw anyone, and the arrogance in his bones made him dare to fight on the street when he was a teenager who was a head taller than him, he had a characteristic, that is, he would never be soft, so it was common for his head to break and bleed, and over time, those children were afraid of him, and even the adults in the family did not dare to approach him, saying that his eyes were not like ordinary children.

Once, when several children from the neighborhood were gathering in the alley to make a bet, and they were red-faced, and suddenly they saw him coming towards him, and they were all quiet at once, and they were accustomed to seeing him, and he was accustomed to it, when one of the children stopped him. This child lives next door to Jiang Shou, called Xiao Mao, a neighbor, who has known each other since childhood, and the relationship is still harmonious, so he ran over and grabbed him. Perhaps it was fate that this catastrophe was predestined, but he was very curious about what they were talking about, and after talking about it, it turned out that he was discussing a strange thing that had happened recently, about the mountain temple a mile away.

The mountain temple was built in the Kangxi period and lasted for more than a hundred years. It has been in disrepair for a long time, it has been dilapidated, and no one goes to worship it anymore, I don't know when there are three more coffins in the mountain temple for no reason. Since then, the mountain temple, which had been quietly hidden in the cliffs, has come alive again.

The story should start with a woodcutter named Li Dajia, who has been chopping and selling firewood for three generations, and has to walk several times a day on the mountain where the mountain temple is located, and he is the first to see the three coffins. It is said that Li Dajia cut wood one day and went down the mountain and went to the mountain temple. Sudden heavy rain. The wind taunted, and he had to take refuge in the nearest place.

Of course, the mountain temple is dedicated to the mountain god of this mountain, but the mountain god is not the same according to the beliefs of various places, but the clay statue of the mountain god here is a big-eared mouse sitting on a tiger, which can be described as very strange. The right half of the mountain god's body has long been destroyed. The wooden square that served as a skeleton in his body was exposed. He was also painted with the ash at the bottom of the pot on the wooden square. It looks scary and ridiculous.

Li Dajia will pass by the mountain temple every day, and it is not strange to see it, but today. When he pushed open the half-hidden door, he was really scared out of white sweat. Because there are three more coffins falling from the sky in the small mountain temple, and they are neatly stacked together, just in front of the mountain god.

The strange clay statue is gone, but it is replaced by an even more unavoidable coffin, and everyone will be shocked. The coffin looked down on Li Dajia at an oppressive height, as if it could fall down and crush him to death at any moment. Coupled with the rumbling thunder and the raging wind outside the temple, he tensed the nerves that were about to break, and finally after a flash of thunder like an explosion, he crawled and fled to the foot of the mountain, leaving only two bundles of firewood standing alone at the mouth of the mountain temple.

That night, Li Dajiao vomited blood and died, his eyes wide red as he died, almost popping out of his sockets, and his limbs twisted in an extremely strange posture. His wife Wang will not mention much about how he handled the aftermath, but only said that there were many strange things later.

This big news spread far and wide, and there were many people who did not believe in evil and wanted to go up the mountain to find out, and within a few days, there was an endless stream of people who went up the mountain to explore the wonders, all of which alarmed the county yamen, but there was no second person who found that there were three coffins in the temple of the mountain.

I thought that this absurd thing was understood, but in the early morning of the next day after Li Dajiao's head seven, Wang was found hanged in the mountain temple, and his death was exactly the same as Li Dajia's, only an extra straw rope to strangle his throat, and there was an unburned ingot candle under his body.

As soon as this incident came out, it stirred up a thousand waves, and it was rumored in the streets and alleys that Li Dajiao died unexpectedly, and after his death, he came to his wife to accompany him, and some said that the Wang family couldn't think about it for a while, and went to Huangquan with her husband, and it was also said that the three coffins were prepared by the mountain god to accept the souls of three people as servants, who made Li Dada's family unlucky to meet...... The rumors can't be believed, but it hurts the ten-year-old only son Li Xiao in the family.

Some of Li Dajia's neighbors were worried about Li Xiao, who had not yet understood personnel, and it was difficult for the family of three to reunite with the prefecture, so they notified Wang's younger brother who lived in the neighboring county early, and Li Xiaowei was picked up by his uncle a few days later.

Besides, in the few days after Wang's death, before his uncle picked him up, of course, it was impossible for Li Xiao to live alone in an empty house, but to be with his kind neighbors, Xiao Mao's family, temporarily.

Jiang Renshou knew about this, because the three of them were next to each other, and even if they were cooking on the fire, they could smell what was in the pot, but just like this, he muttered. Because since the day Li Xiao lived in Xiaomao's house, the fire in his house has never been extinguished, not to mention that he can cook seven or eight times a day, and sometimes he hears the sound of quarrels in the middle of the night.

According to Xiao Mao's explanation, it was because Li Xiao had a large amount of food, and after an hour or two, he shouted that he was hungry, and he went to the kitchen to find food in the middle of sleep, and he ate two jars of pickled radish pickled by Xiao Mao's mother in a few days, which was his family's reserve for a year. Xiao Mao's family is the same as other families, not the emperor's grandson, the official eunuch, they are all ordinary people, for this reason, Xiao Mao's parents have a lot of disputes, quarrels, after all, they can't bear to drive Xiao Mao out of the door with a broom, I hope his uncle will come to pick him up soon.

Li Xiao in Jiang Shoushou's eyes is the same as his name, one head shorter than his peers, he never thought about the amount of food but it was amazing, and he didn't see the Li family cooking so diligently on weekdays, it was really strange that there were a lot of them every year.

What are they arguing about? It's not the strange thing in the mountain temple, it's not the three coffins that disappeared, it's not the bizarre death of Li Xiao's parents, it's Li Xiao's nightmare.

Xiao Mao told them that in those few nights, Li Xiao had nightmares every night when he slept, even in broad daylight, he was sluggish and drowsy, and Li Xiao shouted that he was hungry as soon as he woke up. At first, no one cared, just a shock reaction after being stimulated by the sudden death of a family member.

Xiao Mao's mother also asked Xiao Mao to talk to Li Novel more. Xiao Mao is very sensible, they do housework together and go out to play together, but Xiao Mao faintly wonders. (To be continued......)
