The old people generally say that this kind of year is a year of evil spirits, and the more chaotic the world, the more evil it will be. As for what evil is, it is what we folk call demons and monsters. But evil things can't just be said to be ghosts, they must be harmful ghosts in order to be called evil.

But the story has been told so much, most of them are natural and man-made disasters, and there is really no evil, but many details cannot be explained and cannot be verified, it can only be said that it is an evil thing, and it is a little scary to think about it.

Lushi County is the mountainous area at the junction of Henan and Shaanxi provinces, mostly hills and rivers, few people and few people, and the materials are not very abundant. But according to the appearance of the whole country at that time, it didn't make much difference to live and live.

During the period of the Republic of China and before the liberation, several major events occurred in Lushi County, which can be called a major case. The first thing is the story of the beginning of the grave, the back hall temple of the Zhang family's house. The Zhang family hid the tablet in the Houtang Temple, and also arrested a lot of children, so far the old man of the Zhang family has not been found, but most people say that he has long been dead, but the truth of the matter can not be known, can only be concluded through the Republic of China period militia investigation of some clues, the Zhang family is eating children, and they seem to be controlled by some kind of evil, the whole family is particularly abnormal, that is, abnormal. But when Zhang Mao died in prison inexplicably, the Zhang family case was solved after more than 20 years, but some things were also resolved.

Let's talk about this second thing, usually on July 25 every year, every household abides by a sentence, that is, don't smile when you go out during the day, and don't turn sideways when you sleep at night. It is strange for some people to say this, why don't you laugh when you go out during the day? Why can't you sleep sideways at night? Why do people circulate such words? Could it be a local custom?

In fact, this sentence has something to do with Xiao Po, when Xiao Po had a famine in 42 years, it was even more terrifying than mentioning the devil entering the village. It is rumored that on the night of July 25, 42, three children were playing on the street in front of their house, and some time ago they heard the children laughing in the street, but when the family went out to call the children back to sleep. The three children were gone, and there was no trace of them.

At first, it seemed that it was just a case of missing persons, and the officials had all run away, and there was no one who could take care of things, so the child was lost and had to be found by the adults themselves. But after looking for several days, they didn't find the child, and the family was in a hurry, and they were especially afraid that they would be caught by the Henan leader who had escaped, but they regretted it later. It's better to let the Henan leader catch and sell it, at least he can still live.

The three children finally found it, and it was a coincidence, the place where the children were found was actually the grave slope behind Nanpo Village, which was more than ten miles away from the county seat, but only the heads of the three children were found, and there were no others, and the wound on the severed head and neck was particularly messy, and it looked like it was using something that was not particularly sharp. After a mess of chopping, the head was cut off.

This is not only miserable, but also particularly terrifying. These three young children could not provoke anyone, how could they be killed in such a cruel way, and why did they only leave their heads, where did their bodies go?

Since the society was in a relatively chaotic time at that time, no one could investigate this matter, so it was closed. In the future, I will have a long memory and look at all the children.

Unexpectedly, 42 was just the beginning, and the next year was also on July 25, and the child was lost again, this time it was not taken away on the street, but directly at home.

said that there is a family, and only the mother and mother are left. The child was only three or four years old, and walked around the stove house with a runny nose following his mother's buttocks. The child's mother hid a little millet at home, and took advantage of the fact that the families were sleeping at night, so she secretly made a fire to cook some millet porridge to drink, and chopped wood and carried water back and forth, and the child followed her a little in the way, and the child and his mother coaxed the child to let him be safe, and give him something to eat later.

But the child made trouble, saying that he was hungry and wanted to eat now, and the child couldn't stand it, so she had to let the child look at the pot, and she went into the house to get the leftover tofu that she ate at noon. But when the child mother entered the house and took the dried tofu, there was a burst of laughter from the child in the stove house, and I don't know what amused the child, so the child and his mother quickly turned around and went back to the stove house. But I didn't expect that after a while, there was a person standing behind the kung fu child, an old lady with a hunched back, no soles of her feet, completely like two sticks on the ground, and a pair of strange round shoes on her feet, her hair was messy, and her face was very strange.

The old lady stared at the cauldron in front of her, and from time to time stuck out her tongue and licked her parched lips. The child was startled at first, but then she thought the old lady was hungry, and smelled the smell and went into the house. But when she looked closely, she realized that something was wrong, and the old lady looked greedily not at all the pot with millet boiling, but the child standing in front of the stove and looking at the lid of the pot.

The child asked the old lady a little strangely, "You fled from the east, right?" Are you hungry? Don't make a sound, I'll give you a bowl to drink when the pot is boiling. The child's mother was also kind-hearted, thinking that the old lady had fled, so she wanted to give him a bowl of millet porridge to drink.

But the old lady stared intently at the three or four-year-old child, and there was still a hale on her lips, and the child saw that the old lady looked too scary, and wanted to run to his mother. But as soon as he turned around, he didn't wait to run out, but he was suddenly grabbed by the old lady's thin hands, and he didn't care about the child's crying, so he grabbed it and wanted to go out.

How can this child can, hurry up to catch up to get the child, but before she can get close, the old lady stopped at the door, slowly turned her head, the face is extremely long, the skin is twitching Baba is drier than the bark, a pair of eyes are very round, she has no black eyeballs, the whole eyeball is completely yellow, looking at the child behind her and his mother cracked her mouth and smiled. The corners of the mouth opened along the cracks on the face to the bottom of the ears, revealing pitch-black teeth and a mouth full of broken teeth, just laughing so rattling. The child was just a young daughter-in-law, and she had never seen such a thing, so she immediately sat down on the ground in fright, and let the old lady take her child.

Within a few days, this matter spread in Lushi County, all said that there was a long ghost-like smiling old lady who specially caught the child back to eat on July 25, because it coincided with the time of losing the child the year before, and someone saw the old lady who took the child away, so this matter is relatively noisy, and the door is closed every night, in order to make the child remember for a long time, the adults describe the old lady as very scary, called "laughing woman" (to be continued......
