"I really covered the pot, I just fetched water-" Dazhu's daughter-in-law squatted on the ground aggrievedly and cried.

Dazhu looked at the wide-eyed and somewhat frightened child, and patted his daughter-in-law's shoulder, "Forget it, I don't blame you." Quickly clean up, and throw away the dumplings if you can't eat them. After that, he picked up his son and walked out, "Son, go, Dad will buy you cakes and cakes to eat, let's not eat dumplings." ”

The dumplings can't be eaten, Dazhu's daughter-in-law poured the dumplings distressedly, don't mention the anger in her heart. She has never been wronged, and she really can't understand who would go against her and disgust her like this.

The next day, Dazhu's daughter-in-law sent the child to her parents' house, and when she came back, she bought a handful of leeks. She went home and spread egg cakes, fried some shrimp, adjusted the filling of dumplings, and made noodles, and made dumplings in anger. She made dumplings and put them on the edge of the vat with a pot paddle. She wanted to see what kind of evil this was, and how the dumplings were lost.

Dazhu was also suspicious of the strange matter of losing dumplings, and he also wanted to find out what was going on.

It didn't take much effort for the water in the pot to boil. "Dazhu, you watch the fire, I'll serve dumplings." In the main room, when the door table is lit with a lamp, the room is quite bright. Dazhu's daughter-in-law was about to serve dumplings, and suddenly found that a small piece of dumplings was missing in the middle. Dazhu's daughter-in-law completely collapsed; She couldn't figure out why. So she looked left and right by the light, but she didn't find dumplings on the ground.

The pot was placed on the rim of the pot, and it would be knocked over if she wasn't careful, so she didn't think it would be a rat. Looking left and right, the fox suddenly heard a cooing sound, like a human chewing sound. Dazhu's daughter-in-law wondered, the door was bolted, and no one came in, why would anyone eat. She searched for it, and found a dark figure crouching between the other side of the vat and the wall, as if filling his mouth.

"Who? Who are you? What are you hiding there for? Dazhu's daughter-in-law felt a chill down her spine, thinking she was a thief, so she was so frightened that she reprimanded her.

"Hehehe, Dazhu's family, the vegetarian dumplings you made are even better than yesterday's meat filling." A gloomy old voice came from the dark shadow, and the daughter-in-law of Dazhu was furious.

As soon as she heard this, Dazhu's daughter-in-law understood that this person did what happened last night, and Dazhu's daughter-in-law was angry. "You have a bad conscience, don't you want to bully your mother? Who you are, I have to see who you are......"

As he spoke, Dazhu's daughter-in-law reached out to grab the black shadow.

"Dazhu's family, who has a bad conscience? Are you still used to living in my house? Hehe......" The black shadow suddenly raised his head and grabbed Dazhu's daughter-in-law's wrist, Dazhu's daughter-in-law only felt the cold at the wrist to the bone, and the pain was unbearable, but she couldn't move. The two eyes looked at the face of the black shadow without obedience.

I saw that under the gray hair, half of the puffy and pale face, the eyeballs were all white, dripping with blood, the nose was gone, half of the flesh on the face was rotten, revealing the white cheekbones, only teeth were left at the mouth, and the flesh was drooping to the side, like a rotting corpse.

"I, I don't know you......" Dazhu's daughter-in-law couldn't help but fly out of the sky, but she couldn't close her eyes, as if she had magical power, and couldn't help but look at the carrion corpse.

"Look at it, you don't know me, look at it again......" Dazhu's daughter-in-law looked again, isn't this Mrs. Li. is still as kind and kind as before his death, with a ruddy face and a kind smile.

When Dazhu's daughter-in-law saw it, she understood in her heart that it was all done by Mrs. Li. Dazhu's daughter-in-law was shocked and anxious, and desperately wanted to withdraw her hand, but where could she break free, the whole person seemed to be magical, and she couldn't move half a point no matter what. I wanted to open my mouth to call Dazhu, but I couldn't make any sound.

"Dazhu's family, you have done so many ambiguous things, how can you explain to me today......" The hoarse and harsh voice made people very uncomfortable to listen to. The carrion slowly stood up, and a face turned into a skeleton, opened its mouth, and bit at Dazhu's daughter-in-law. Dazhu's daughter-in-law only felt a bone-chilling cold in her shoulder and a sharp pain in her heart, and couldn't help but scream hysterically and fainted.

This voice frightened the big pillar of the stove room, and hurriedly ran to the main house. When I saw my daughter-in-law lying on the ground, she was unconscious. hurriedly picked it up and hugged it in his arms and called, but he saw that his daughter-in-law was clenching her teeth, her face was blue, her body was cold, and her breath was like a gossamer. Dazhu had some guts, and he was also frightened when he saw this situation, so he hurriedly beat his chest and back, crying and screaming, trying to wake up his daughter-in-law.

"it, don't scare me, wake up, what's wrong with you, you were fine just now, what's wrong with you......" Beat for a while, press for a while, scream for a while, cry for a while, but no matter how the big pillar tosses, the daughter-in-law just doesn't open her eyes. Dazhu carried his daughter-in-law to the bed in a panic, and hurriedly went out to ask the neighbors for help and asked someone to ask for medicine.

After a while, the old Chinese medicine doctor Xu from the east of the village arrived. Pulling out the lamp, the old Chinese medicine doctor looked at the patient's face, broke his teeth, looked at the bottom of his eyes, tested his forehead, took the pulse, tossed for a while, the old Chinese medicine doctor gasped, "ah", shook his head again, pondered for a long time before saying: "Dazhu, I have been practicing medicine for decades, but I have never encountered such a difficult disease," the old Chinese medicine doctor smiled bitterly, and then said, "According to the appearance, she is just a deficiency of cold, and she is frightened." But judging from the pulse, she is a dead vein. Ordinary people have this pulse, and the limit is approaching. According to what you just said, your daughter-in-law will not become like this all at once. ”

Dazhu was also dumbfounded when he heard this, and begged Xu Chinese medicine to save his life. Under the enthusiasm of the old Chinese medicine doctor, he had no choice but to prescribe medicine.

"After this party is paid, if the illness does not improve, you can ask another master." After saying that, Traditional Chinese Medicine Xu got up and left, walked to the door and turned around and whispered to Dazhu: "Find your grandmother Dabao in the west to see if it is evil." Although I don't believe in evil, your daughter-in-law's illness is too strange. Dazhu remembered that something strange had happened when he lived in the old home.

Sending away the old Chinese medicine doctor, several neighbors of Dazhuyang took care of his daughter-in-law, and ran to find Grandma Dabao as if he were flying. At this time, the moon had risen, illuminating the entire alley.

Dazhu ran vigorously, panting to find Grandma Dabao and tell the story of the incident. Grandma Dabao carried a lantern and hurried to Dazhu's house by Dazhu.

"Turn the lights on." Grandma Dabao commanded as soon as she entered the house. Everyone hurriedly found a few candles and lit them, and the house suddenly became much brighter, and Grandma Dabao ordered someone to bring the candles closer. She approached Dazhu's daughter-in-law and grabbed her palm, and Grandma Dabao couldn't help but snort. "Dazhu, she's got something dirty. Quickly give her some brown sugar water to ward off the cold. ”

Dazhu filled boiling water from the stove room, brewed brown sugar, and served it to Grandma Dabao. But no matter how you feed it or how you pour it, you just can't drink it. Grandma Dabao put down the bowl, grabbed Dazhu's daughter-in-law's wrist, and lifted her cuffs to take a look. Shocked and gasped, he pointed to his arm and said, "Look, here-" Everyone gathered around, looked together, and saw that on the arm half a foot away from the wrist, there were five black handprints, and the five fingers were still clear, deeply imprinted on the arm of Dazhu's daughter-in-law, "Ghost handprints-" Grandma Dabao's voice trembled a little. Grandma Dabao stood up and began to close her eyes slightly and chant the words, her hands were a foot away from Dazhu's daughter-in-law, and she walked from head to toe. After that, she sighed and reached out to untie the collar on the right side of the neck of the daughter-in-law of Dazhu.

"Look here," Grandma Dabao pointed to show everyone that on the right side of her neck, in an inconspicuous place, two rows of tooth marks were arranged, as if they had been bitten by a person with his teeth. However, there was no bloodshed, just two rows of black and purple marks. When everyone saw it, they were all shocked.

"Alas, Dazhu, your daughter-in-law has encountered something dirty, it is estimated that she is not a good kind, and she will definitely be put to death." Grandma Dabao sighed and moved to a chair, "You, take some paper money and burn it in the yard, it is estimated that the thing has not left yet, you go and send it." Dazhu went out to burn some paper foil as he said, and Grandma Dabao shook her head vigorously and sighed. After a while, Dazhu returned to the house and knelt down in front of Grandma Dabao, "Grandma, you have pity on my ignorant child, save my daughter-in-law." The child can't live without a mother...... "Seeing his daughter-in-law's situation, Dazhu knew that he could only beg Grandma Dabao, so he couldn't help but kowtow to Grandma Dabao.

"I know, I know, you get up quickly......" Everyone hurriedly pulled up the pillar. Grandma Dabao said faintly, "But I have only heard of this kind of being caught and bitten, but I have never seen it with my own eyes, let alone how to rescue it." Grandma Dabao stood up, and someone next to her immediately hugged the trembling old lady. It's not that I don't help, she's definitely going to be hopeless. The old lady said a word before leaving.

Where will the big pillar die? Although this woman is not good, she is the child's mother after all, and if something happens, what can the young son do.

Dazhu thanked the leader, and spent a sleepless night guarding his daughter-in-law alone.

Early the next morning, Dazhu sent someone to bring a letter to his daughter-in-law's family, and on the other hand, he grabbed medicine according to the prescription of Xu Chinese medicine. The medicine is boiled, but it can't be fed into the mouth, and the mouth is pried open, but it can't be swallowed; was so anxious that Dazhu burst into tears, and finally had to give up.

It was almost noon, and the daughter-in-law's family came. The mother-in-law cried, and everyone sighed and persuaded each other.

"How did this happen? Wasn't it okay the other day? Dazhu explained the cause and effect of the whole thing to his mother's family in detail. Feeding water and food is not used at all, and the mother's family has nothing to do, so they have to watch.

On the evening of the third day of the incident, Dazhu's daughter-in-law suddenly had convulsions all over her body, and she lost her breath after a while in the call and shouting of the whole family.

Dazhu and his mother's family had to cry again; As usual, the neighbors helped to do it, watching the funeral and watching the excitement. In the idle talk, no one wanted to mention the cause of the death of Dazhu's daughter-in-law.

hastily held a funeral, and Dazhu and his son lived a life dependent on each other. All these weirdness just add some talking points for the neighbors to talk about after dinner.

In the autumn of this year, the autumn tiger was extremely powerful, and the weather was extremely hot and humid, for six or seven days in a row.

The elderly unanimously said that the weather in early autumn this year was so unusually hot, and there was a fear of heavy rain in the near future.

Sure enough, it was just dark on this day, and suddenly the wind was strong and the clouds were surging; For a while the sky was full of lightning and thunder everywhere. In an instant, it was as dark as the bottom of a pot, as if the air had been dyed with ink, and every household had to light the lamps and candles early. Suddenly, the wind stopped, and the rain suddenly fell like a child crying "wow", and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was pouring rain.

Dazhu and his son had a few mouthfuls of food and coaxed their son to go to bed early. In the middle of the night thunderstorm, on the wall opposite the bed, a round halo quietly appeared with green light. In the halo, Dazhu's daughter-in-law had a miserable white face, staring at a pair of empty and godless eyes, staring straight at the child and Dazhu on the bed.

It rained all night. Early the next morning, Dazhu took care of his son to get up and eat. It rained all night, the air was crisp and fresh, and without the dampness, heat and boredom of the previous days, Dazhu felt much better.

"Son, come over and hug and go to the street to play."

The streets were full of water and full of people. The street is not wide, and when you look at both sides of the alley, the street has almost become a river.

"Maybe the rain and the river in the east of the village have spilled."

"The water on this street is more than a foot deep."

People were talking, teasing, laughing, and telling surprises and novelties about this rare heavy rain.

"Fish, there are fish in the water. Look here's one. ”

I don't know who found a fish in the water and shouted. The sound was like dropping a bomb in the crowd, and then someone waded through the street to catch fish. In a short time, the streets were full of people catching fish. People are frolicking, laughing and scolding, running around, and enjoying their leisure time. Someone took a basket from his house, a basket, and a small fishing net......

All of a sudden, the street became a place for people to fish and fight.

Dazhu hugged his son, watched it with relish, and saw that others had caught fish one by one, and his heart was itching. But he never dared to leave his son, so he held his son to watch the diving place on the side of the street, wading through the water and walking slowly.

The son also looked at the scene in front of him curiously, giggling happily, and dancing happily with his two little hands.

Dazhu was walking in the shallow water on the side of the street, and suddenly felt a sinking under his feet, and Dazhu almost slipped and fell while holding the child. The pillar stopped and stomped on the ground hard, but it was still hard under his feet, but he felt that his body continued to sink. Sensing that something was wrong, he hurriedly jumped to the side, trying to jump out of the sunken ground. As soon as his feet were forced, he suddenly felt that his body was light, he instinctively put his hands together, his body straightened, and his feet finally stood on the ground. Almost at the same time as the pillar hit the ground, there was a rumbling sound where he had stepped on, and a hole the size of the Eight Immortals Table appeared, and the black hole seemed to be a bottomless pit. The water at the entrance of the cave seemed to be sucked by something, and with the sound of whirring wind, it poured violently into it.

"Son-", Dazhu suddenly remembered, the son in his arms. Looking at the eyes again, I only saw the water flowing into the cave, and there was still a trace of my son. "Son, son—"

The shouts of the big pillar alarmed the people on the street. People gathered here one after another, and asked Dazhu as they hurried:

"What's wrong? What's wrong with the big pillar? ”

"What's wrong?"

"Ah——, son, my son fell into the water and couldn't find it......"

Dazhu cried out heartbreakingly, "I slipped just now, and as soon as I let go, my son fell into the water, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye." ”

"Look for it, let's help find it."

"Line up in a row, block the hole, and don't let the water rush in." The people who rushed to see the hole in front of them and hurriedly organized people to touch the children in the water. The water was not too deep, and it was said that the child should not be submerged, so everyone felt around the place for a long time.

"Did you find it?"

"Nope."

"I didn't touch it."

Messages of disappointment poured in. Everyone looked at the black hole and felt an ominous feeling.

"It's not like it's going to fall into a hole." The crowd gathered at the entrance of the cave, and finally someone said the most fearful, most likely, and least acceptable outcome.

"Ahaha-", Da Zhu cried and almost collapsed on his back, and several young people with fast hands hurriedly hugged him, "Brother Da Zhu, Brother Da Zhu, you have to think about it." The crowd was anxious to persuade them.

The water was still pouring into the black hole, as if it would never be satisfied.

"How can there be a hole here?"

"Where does this cave lead? Why are you always dissatisfied, how deep it has to be. ”

"yes, it can hold water."

Everyone talked about it one by one, which made Dazhu listen to it. He knew in his heart that as soon as his son let go in his panic, there was a chance that he would let go. Jiu fell into the hole, but he also understood that there was more than one bad luck. Dazhu was like a walking corpse that no longer felt, and his mind went blank. His eyes were fixed on the gurgling water, and he burst into tears. What a well-behaved and lovely little baby, who looks like a tiger and loves everyone, that's his life. The root is gone in an instant.

Dazhu only felt that there was no hope and reason for him to live in heaven and earth, as if only his own death could make up for his sins against his son. He was desperate and broke free from everyone, trying to pounce on the bottomless black hole. The villagers next to him tried their best to stop him, kept comforting him, and raised his legs and arms to carry him home. It was a long time before Dazhu stopped crying; Just staring at a pair of blank eyes, I stayed there not knowing what to think.

"Big nephew, listen to me, this is a natural disaster. Who would have thought there would be such a thing. An uncle surnamed Chen came over to comfort Dazhu.

"yes, it deserves to be here."

"That's it, what no one thought of, it's his life. I want to open some, I want to open some. The neighbors gathered around the pillar and kept comforting them.

It was almost noon, and the people slowly dispersed to go about their business. Da Zhu's family left a few good hair children to accompany him. A few of Dazhu's haircuts cooked for him, chatted with him, and comforted him. Dazhu just didn't say a word, and his eyes looked straight ahead.

"My son went to his mother, and I don't have anything to think about." Leng Buding Dazhu said something that startled everyone.

"Alas, alas, it's good to open it if you want to, it's good to open it if you want to."

"You're alone at home, there's nothing to worry about, wait a few days, go out with me." Help my brother with his business. As for my own brother, you have to give me a face and arrange an errand for you. ”

"Yes, Dazhu, you are shrewd and have a good brain, in a few years, you will continue to have another one, and in a few years, you will be a big family." Dazhu still sat there dumbfounded, not responding at all. A few confidants accompanied Dazhu all night.

When it was about to dawn, several people were so tired that they all fell asleep. Someone's rooster crowed desperately, waking one of them up. "Hey, wake up, where's the big pillar? Where did the big pillar go? The man woke up and saw that the pillar was gone, and he couldn't help but pat the other companion and ask.

"Huh? Ahh The pillar is missing? Did you go to the hut? ”

"Let's go out and find him. Don't go to that cave looking for the kids. ”

"When the cave went down yesterday, it was silted up by mud, and it was solid." As he spoke, the two got up and walked into the courtyard without alarming the others.

The autumn morning was still a little cool, and the two of them couldn't help but shrink their necks when they went out.

"Big Pillar, Big Pillar, where are you?" One shouted. "Not in the latrine." Another response.

When the two of them turned around and looked at the gate of the courtyard, they were stunned. Dazhu sat at the door, facing inward, still with his eyes open, his head slightly drooping, and a thin hemp rope came down from the deadbolt and connected to his neck......

No one knows what Dazhu saw or thought that night; No one even knows why he ended his life on the deadbolt.

On the 10th anniversary of Da Zhu Niang's death, someone saw Erzhu coming with soldiers on a horse in military uniform. However, he only paid respects at his mother's grave and did not enter the village.

After a few springs and autumns, the courtyard was overgrown with waist-deep weeds, and people's bizarre narratives about Dazhu's family spread from generation to generation like weeds. R1058
