Nuqing Xiangxi Chapter 5 The second aunt of the mouse

Chen Blind's group are all habitual robbers of ancient tombs, all of them are bold, they don't care about spending the night in the Yizhuang Museum, they make up their minds, and they go to the old bear ridge with "clouds and mist and mountain roads like silk". That Yizhuang is far away from the crowd, walked to the palm lamp time to find, only to see that Yizhuang seems to be a deserted mountain temple rebuilt, but the scale of the broken temple is not small, the front and back are divided into three, the top of the main hall of the hill collapsed half, the roof tiles are all barren grass, under the cold moon and cold stars, there are groups of bats flying around the air, the broken wood mountain gate that has fallen off the paint is half covered and half closed, blown by the mountain wind, creaking.

Although the people were bold, when they saw such a scene, they could not help beating drums in their hearts, and they pushed the door in hard. Chen Blind had already discovered in advance that there was originally a corpse keeper in this museum, a middle-aged woman, because of her ugly appearance, living alone in the mountains, and not interacting with others, so she did this business, but she also died of illness two days ago, and now the body is parked in the back room, and no one takes care of it in this barren mountain village for the time being.

It was already dark, but he couldn't be in a hurry to rest, Chen Blind had to look at the entrance and retreat first, so as not to encounter any accidents at night and be able to get out. At that moment, he led everyone, lit a leather lamp, and stepped into the main house, and saw that there were seven or eight dilapidated black lacquer coffins parked inside, all of which were "beds" in the Dead Man's Hotel, and I don't know how many corpses had been contained in them over the years. In front of the coffin is a wooden tablet, each with the name of the spirit master, the smell in the house is strong, gloomy deposit, and the corpses are made of arsenic to become zombies to keep them intact. Lao Xiongling is very remote, the corpse chaser comes about once every six months, and when the time comes, the corpse in the coffin will be taken out and taken away, and the corpse keeper in Yizhuang is responsible for guarding the corpse full-time to prevent the corpse from mutating or being gnawed by wild beasts.

Hua Ma is a pestle to make a body, in the group of thieves is a more superstitious person, go out to do things, worship the mountain every mountain, cross the water to worship the water, as soon as you enter the door, find the incense burner on the table, burn a few incense sticks for the dead in the coffin, and recite the words in the mouth: "I waited through the barren mountain, missed the lodging, stayed here for one night, did not want to disturb, and hoped that the old man Haihan ......" Before the words were finished, I heard a sound in the coffin, and the cold wind hit people in the ground, and the lights and candles were dim.

A gust of wind blew in the village, and the lamps and incense candles in the hands of the thieves were immediately extinguished, and they heard the creaking of the old coffin boards placed in the house, as if there were extremely long nails scratching the coffin lid with their hands, and the sound made people's skin have layers of chestnuts.

Seeing that there was an abnormality, Chen Blind hurriedly put his hand on the short knife on his waist, he has always disliked to use guns, and only carried a short knife to defend himself when robbing tombs. This knife has a history, it is the royal knife "Little Shenfeng" used by the emperor back then, and it is often juxtaposed with the spear before driving, infiltrated by cold light, and extremely sharp. At this moment, he took out the blade and looked at it, only to see the sword light flickering, and he knew that this "collection hall" was not very clean, if there were ghosts and ghosts, or there were evil things.

Blind Chen immediately waved his hand, fanned out with several accomplices, outflanked him, and opened the lid of the coffin one after another to see if the zombies in the coffin had changed. There was such an alarm, the strange sound in the coffin actually disappeared by itself, only to hear the whimper of the mountain wind outside the house, shaking the bricks and tiles of the ancient trees, listening to the ears, particularly sad.

This group of people are all giant thieves who dig graves and graves all year round, the so-called "art masters are bold", and the group of thieves is the most taboo to show the slightest timidity in front of their accomplices, and they have inspected dozens of old coffins several times, and when they see nothing unusual, they have placed stumbling ropes in the coffin containing the corpses. The rope was soaked with cinnabar powder, and the corpse could not be bent, so it could be pressed into the coffin by the stumbling rope and could not come out, and then the coffin lid was fastened, and then the door was closed and the main hall was left.

I returned to the dilapidated courtyard of Yizhuang, but I saw that there was no light in the sky and the wind and clouds in the mountains, and it seemed that there was a heavy rain at night. The method of "looking" is to look at the mud marks to recognize the color of the grass, and it is easier to perform after the rain washes out. After the rain stopped tomorrow morning, it was time to go to see the shape of the ancient tomb, so the group of thieves immediately decided to stay in Yizhuang for the night. This group of people all have murder weapons on them, ink fountains to ward off evil spirits, and a mere mortuary museum, how can they be put in their eyes.

After two circles in Yizhuang, all the houses were dilapidated and filthy, and only a small room next to the back door was still habitable. This room is where the corpse keeper usually lives, and it is also the only room in the hotel for the living. Luo Lao walked crookedly for a day, wishing to settle down and rest earlier, said "please" to Chen Blind, raised his foot and kicked open a wooden door, and stepped into the house.

As soon as Luo Lao turned around after he entered, he saw a straight dead man standing behind another door panel, the body was covered by a large white cloth, only showing a vague outline, a wooden spirit card was erected on the top of his head, and a life lamp in front of him was burned to the size of a soybean. Rao is old man Luo is crooked life, and he didn't expect to poke a corpse behind the door, so he was scared out of a cold sweat on the spot, and subconsciously reached out to pull the revolver.

Chen Blind then entered the house, hurriedly pressed Luo Lao's crooked hand, looked at the spiritual position on the head of the corpse, there was a yellow grass paper talisman on the wooden plaque, and raised the oil lamp to shine on the paper talisman, the spell drawn on it was very familiar. In the past, I learned the Tao in the mountains, and I knew some runes, which were the "pure corpse talismans" in Zhang Chenzhou's talisman, which read: "There are six jiajia on the left, six dings on the right, thunder and lightning in front, wind and clouds in the back, thousands of evils, clear and clear, urgent as a law." ”

Then he gently picked up a corner of the paper talisman, looked at the line of words exposed on the spirit card below, and read: "The position of the second aunt of the mouse...... Presumably the woman who kept vigil in the pavilion, she had just died two days ago, and according to folk custom, she had to be a zombie on the door panel before she could enter the coffin. I heard that this woman is also a miserable person, and my generation will not interfere with the river water with her well water, so she can stop here. ”

Chen Blind's three subordinates are also from a stomach full of bitter water, otherwise they would not have fallen into the grass as a ringing horse, and have always sympathized with those humble and poor people, at this time, listening to Chen Blind, they all readily agreed: "What the big shopkeeper said is that since ancient times, bitter people do not bully people, and we are all forced to go to Liangshan, so we occupy one side, do some heroic deeds, heroic careers, and why embarrass a dead man with bitter water." ”

Although Luo Lao Crooked had the intention to burn the corpse, so as not to put it in the house all night, but seeing that it was difficult to go against the will of the people, and the theft of the ancient tomb still depended on these people, he had to be patient and followed Chen Blind into the house. Hua Ma hurriedly cleaned up the clean place, asked the two of them to sit down, and the other three followers were limited by their identities, so they didn't dare to sit on an equal footing with the leader of the thieves and Luo Shuai, and after cleaning up, they sat on the ground, ate dry food and wrapped their stomachs, and drank some soju to drive away the cold.

Halfway through eating, I listened to the thunder and lightning outside, and several thunderbolts fell one after another, shaking the roof tiles and then pouring rain. Blind Chen sat cross-legged and drank wine, while closing his eyes and meditating on the various news he had inquired about today, imagining the scale of the ancient tomb in Bottle Mountain, and when he heard the rumbling of thunder, he quietly told SΓΉ Hua Ma Gui, the Red Girl and Kunlun Mole: "It's not peaceful in Yizhuang, you must be careful tonight, don't sleep." ”

Hua Magui and the others hurriedly got up to receive the order, and then everyone drank wine and kept vigil, and they had no intention of talking about the second aunt of the mouse Wu clan in the chat, thinking that her title was so strange? Could it be that it looks like a mouse? It's just that the corpse is covered with a white cloth and you can't see her face, and it's hard to imagine her appearance.

Luo Lao sucked enough smoke and felt full of energy, he had long been in love with the red girl for a long time, and wanted to accept her as the eighth aunt, but this woman was too strong, and she vowed not to marry after the great changes in the family, and she refused to agree at all, and she was good at the ancient color tricks of the Moon Gate, and she was a master of cracking the ancient tomb, and she was indispensable for robbing the tomb and opening the coffin. Luo Lao is a big smoker, just greedy for money, and he is not very tight on the color word, and the red girl is Chen Blind's right-hand man, so he has to put this idea on his head, but staying in the barren mountain Yizhuang tonight is very boring, how can he not find a chance to talk to the red girl.

At this time, when he heard Hua Magui talking about the appearance of the female corpse, Luo Lao said crookedly: "How does it look?" Just take a look. After that, he walked to the door, raised his hand and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, and looked at it by the light of the lamp, everyone was shocked, and Luo Lao Crooked was even more fussed: "his grandma, is there really a big mouse in the world?" Even the mute Kunlun Moeller opened his mouth wide and his eyes straightened.

I saw that the female corpse's complexion was bloodless, and the color of the corpse was not white but gray, grayish-white, and there was a layer of black gas hidden in the bloodless gray. The facial features of the second aunt of the mouse are very cramped, with a small nose and small eyes, slightly pointed ears, obvious teeth, and blue and purple lips protruding forward.

Seeing the appearance of everyone who had never seen the world, rare and strange, Chen Blind shouted: "Noisy, I often boast that I am the most excavated thief of the Emperor's Tomb, and I am surprised to see a female corpse with an ugly and strange appearance." ”

When picking up plates and picking up tongue leaks at the bottom of the mountain, Chen Blind Man was experienced and experienced, no matter how big or small, and he explored them one by one, Luo Lao Crooked and others only cared about the news of the ancient tombs of the Yuan Dynasty, and did not pay attention to other things, so they did not know the origin of the second aunt of the mouse, so they had to be told by Chen Blind to know with them.

Regarding what happened to the second aunt of this mouse, the most common saying is this: more than ten years ago, the person who guarded this Yizhuang was a man surnamed Wu, and the mountain people called him "Yizhuang Lao Wu". The Tujia people in the nearby mountains like to eat blood tofu, which is mixed with pig's blood and tofu, kneaded into a lump and put into a bamboo sieve, hung on the kang to dry, and then can be eaten in a variety of ways.

There is a Tianyi Zhuang Lao Wu also boiled a pot of blood tofu to beat the tooth sacrifice, this thing just look at it, smell it will make people salivate, it was not cooked at that time, but it was already fragrant. Yizhuang Lao Wu was drooling and guarding the pot, suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door, Yizhuang Lao Wu hurriedly went to open the door, but there was no one outside the door, not even a ghost, when he turned back, he saw a young woman, who was squatting on the side of the pot to catch blood tofu to eat, eighty percent of the knock on the front door, taking advantage of the old Wu to open the door, jumped in from the back window.

Yizhuang Lao Wu was furious, thinking to himself that this was not the female ringer on the mountain who came to smash the open fire? The master is not dead, and it is not your turn to steal blood tofu, so he picked up an axe for chopping wood and smashed it, and the woman lowered her head and ate it, and when she heard the sound of the golden wind, she fled out of the door with the pot in her arms.

Yizhuang Lao Wu chased after her, and finally caught up with her in a mountain col, and went down with an axe, which happened to chop on the woman's buttocks, and as the blood burst out, a thick rat's tail fell. Yizhuang Lao Wu saw that this was a rat spirit, he was a perennial guard of the dead corpse, and his courage was naturally not small, and he was furious, so he planned to kill them all. Raised the axe and wanted to cut it again, but the woman cried and begged: "Today, I smelled the fragrance of blood tofu in the pot, and I really couldn't resist the temptation, so I came out to steal food, but I was cut off by Xianggong's tail, and I couldn't change back to my original shape. ”

Yizhuang Lao Wu has been a bachelor for many years, he has been guarding Yizhuang for many years, and the men try to avoid him, not to mention that there are women who are willing to marry him. Take a closer look at the woman, although she had a rat face, but after all, she still had a woman's body, so she married her that night. A few years later, Yizhuang Lao Wu went to the mountains to collect medicine for his wife's treatment, but was licked by the old bear, they had no children and no daughters, and as soon as Yizhuang Lao Wu died, only Wu became a widow, and still lived by guarding Yizhuang.

The old people in the village know that the actual situation is not like this, Wu is not a big rat into a fine, but a woman who fled from Yizhuang Lao Wu in the mountains, because she looks very strange, so the descendants in the mountains are arranged randomly, and there are more and more rumors, and over time they all call her "the second aunt of the mouse", and there are many mothers who use her to scare disobedient children: and then naughty beware of being hugged by the second aunt of the mouse in the middle of the night. When children think of that rat-like woman, they often don't dare to cry anymore.

Chen Blind is young and well-educated, intelligent, and has the ability to meet faces, it is not surprising to know that there is such a deformed person in the world, but his fate is bitter, like an ugly person wearing rags, how can he be born in this life? It's here for everyone to break down, so that they don't speculate nonsense.

Luo Lao Crooked also felt that his actions just now were self-defeating and had a ** share, so he had to find another conversation, and wanted to show off some knowledge and take the opportunity to find some face to come back, so he asked Hua Ma and said: "Abductor, I heard that your ancestor is a famous autopsy pestle, can you see why this second aunt died?" ”

Hua Ma turned around and looked at the female corpse, only turned her eyes twice to see it, her face changed color slightly for a moment, and replied: "Hui Luo always put his head, the little one is not talented, look at this female corpse's lips are dark and green, and her facial features are occluded, it looks like her stomach is full of corpse poison, isn't it that there are zongzi in Yizhuang and the corpse is ...... Kill her? ”
