Chapter 6 Crossing the Gas
At this moment, most of the villagers in Lijiagou have fallen asleep, and a fir coffin is parked in the courtyard of a house next to the mountain, which looks a little gloomy in the moonlight, and the children in the village are afraid to go out when they hear that the ugly Liao Shenpo is contained inside.
This is Li Laohan's home, not long ago in the capital of the son Li Jizu unfortunately died due to a gas leak fire and explosion, now only he and his granddaughter are left to serve those acres of rape fields to survive.
Erya thought of his father's heart, so Li Laohan invited the local famous Liao Shenpo to psychic, who knew that just after casting the spell Liao Shenpo fell to the ground and died, the county public security bureau came to inspect the body, saying that it was a sudden heart attack and sudden death. Although the matter is not directly related to the Li family, the invitation to the goddess itself is engaged in feudal superstitious activities, so she has to bear a coffin money as a punishment, because this Liao goddess is alone and has no children and no daughters, and she wanders around Liuba all the year round, and she does not even have a fixed residence.
Now that Liao Shenpo has been dead for more than ten days, this place is a mountainous area to allow burial, and the villagers finally reached an agreement after this period of consultation, and they will be carried to the nearby mountains tomorrow to be buried.
At the beginning of the child, the moon and stars were scarce, and a person walked on the road in the village, with a thin figure, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, carrying a grass-green schoolbag embroidered with the words "serving the people", and this person was Professor Sun Yifeng.
A few dogs suddenly sprang out from behind the houses on both sides, and as soon as they barked wildly, Professor Sun quickly made a strange gesture, and the earth dogs obediently shut up.
He went straight to the door of the courtyard of Li Laohan's house, stood there and listened attentively, and when he was sure that all the people in the house were asleep, he gently pushed open the fence door and came in.
Professor Sun lifted the lid of the coffin expressionlessly, and a faint ray of moonlight sprinkled on Mrs. Liao's wrinkled face, which could see her frightened expression before she died, and the coffin exuded a strong smell of peppercorns, which is the local folk practice to prevent the corpse from rotting and mildew.
Professor Sun uncovered the schoolbag and pulled out a shivering black cat cub from it, holding a few silver needles in his hand, first pierced two needles on the cat's head, and the rest were pierced into the left and right ghost caves and ghost palace points of Liao Shenpo, and the last long needle pierced into the ghost hiding hole of the perineum jade girl in the crotch, and then threw the unconscious little black cat into the coffin, and gently closed the coffin lid tightly.
In the moonlight, Professor Sun smiled strangely and turned away.
About half an hour later, there was a slight "creaking" sound in the quiet courtyard, the coffin cover was slowly removed, and a withered white hand stretched out, and then Mrs. Liao sat up and climbed out of the coffin, looked around, and went directly to the door of the hall.
She listened to the door, and then tried to push the door with her hand, but the inside was already closed, and when she saw that she could not get in through the door, she slipped down the foot of the wall to the window, pulled the window open gently, and with a twist she got in, as nimble as a cat.
Li Erya on the kang was sleeping soundly, and Lady Liao leaned down and looked at it carefully for a while, then opened her mouth and blew into Erya's nostrils. Suddenly, she was satisfied and raised her body and swooped out of the window, standing in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon and sucking on the moonlight.
There was a cool breeze in the valley, and Arira leaned under the purple cypress tree and couldn't help but wrap his clothes tightly, and he cheered up and stared at the small village below the mountain.
"Is there anything out of the ordinary?" Liu 13 woke up, got up and asked.
Arara shook his head.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a long and terrible cry in the village, like a cat but not a cat, which looked particularly gloomy and terrifying in the middle of the night, and the people in the village turned on the lights one after another, and people ran to Li Laohan's house on the side of the mountain.
When the terrible scream sounded, Li Laohan was awakened, and then went out in his clothes, "Erya, don't come out!" He shouted.
Under the moon, there was the dead Liao Shenpo standing in the courtyard, and when she saw Li Laohan coming out, she grinned, and then exited the courtyard gate and ran unhurriedly along the village path.
At this moment, the villagers who rushed out of the house first saw her, and immediately picked up hoes, wooden sticks, sickles and other objects and rushed forward together, all shouting incessantly: "Fake the corpse, cheat the corpse"
Liu Shisan sneered twice in his mouth, and ordered: "You are guarding here, and the master will go and take a look." After that, he jumped up, and his previous staggering appearance was gone, and his elegant figure disappeared after three or two swayes.
Arira was amazed, it turned out that this old blind man had such agile skills.
Lady Liao fled towards the outside of the village with the smell of peppercorns all over her body, and the villagers chased after her, but they couldn't keep up with her light steps, and watched the distance get farther and farther.
"Wangwang" more than a dozen local dogs in the village chased after him, and soon surrounded Liao Shenpo, and pounced on it to bite it together.
At this moment, Mrs. Liao was cloaked, with a hideous "meow" on her face, and then let out a series of "hiss" threatening sounds.
Those earth dogs are the natural enemies of cats, and they are fearless and desperately pulling and biting, and Liao Shenpo fell to the ground, and her body twitched twice and did not move.
"Hurry up and get some firewood, and burn this old woman as soon as possible to prevent her from cheating her body again." Li Laohan shouted, and someone quickly brought some dead firewood.
After a while, a raging fire broke out, and everyone threw the corpse of Goddess Liao on it, and there was a foul-smelling smell of burning, and it was not until this moment that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"The soul of this Liao Shenpo has been killed by the old beggar in the Buddha Cliff Temple, how can she still cheat the corpse?" Someone questioned.
"You hear her howl like a cat, right? It seems that it is possessed by some kind of cat demon or something, so let's go back and look carefully to see if there is a black cat near the coffin. Li Laohan said.
Locals know that when a mortal dies and stops the coffin, if a black cat jumps over the corpse, it will cause "corpse fraud".
Back in the courtyard of the Li family, a sharp-eyed person found a black dead cat cub in the coffin, and strangely enough, there were two silver needles stuck in the cat's head.
"This is someone secretly casting a spell" Li Laohan was taken aback, and then turned around and ran towards the house.
On the kang in the inner room, Li Erya was gone.
As the noise faded away, Arirashi under the cypress tree was not sleepy at all, and he stared at the village below with his right eye wide open.
After a while, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow sneaking up the mountain, and saw that the figure looked like a woman, walking towards another mountain road, and there was a movement in his conscience in the moonlight, and he saw clearly that it was Li Erya.
Li Erya looked sluggish, walking with mechanical steps, as if she was sleepwalking.
It stands to reason that there has just been an incident in the village, and people are in a panic, but Li Erya is like a person who has nothing to do in the middle of the night into the mountains, where is she going?
When Youliang was thinking about whether to follow, another person appeared in his sight, under the moonlight, the lenses on the person's face reflected a faint moonlight, it was Professor Sun Yifeng who was on leave, but he saw him quietly following behind Li Erya.
Arara stood up and followed far behind.
The night of Zibai Mountain was cool and silent, the moon and stars were sparse, and the mantis in the grass occasionally chirped a few times, and Arira did not dare to get too close, only followed unhurriedly within the line of sight.
Turning the mountain pass, there was a cemetery in front of me, a mess of mounds scattered among the weeds, and there were at least hundreds of graves in the past, and the tombstones were crooked, looking eerie in the moonlight.
Li Erya went around and around during the period, and finally stopped in front of a new grave, and fell headlong on the mound and did not move.
Youliang hid in the woods and quietly observed, thinking that so many tombs must be the ancestral graves of Li Jiagou, and I don't know why she came here.
Professor Sun tiptoed to the tomb, carefully examined the handwriting on the stone tablet, circled the mound where the grass had just grown, pondered for a moment, and then returned the way he came.
When he was far away, Arira got out of the woods and went straight to the tomb, where Li Erya was sleeping soundly, making an even breathing sound.
Youliang squatted down and saw clearly by the moonlight that the tombstone read "The Tomb of Loving Father Li Jizu", and the inscription was "Daughter Li Eryali", a month ago.
It turns out that this is the grave of Erya's father, who came to the grave in the middle of the night? Looking at her expression and walking posture, it is clear that she is sleepwalking, what is Professor Sun going to do when he comes to Lijiagou from the capital? Youliang really can't think of it, but in the middle of the night, in this remote mountain, if a wild beast comes, it will be troublesome.
He stepped forward and pushed Li Erya to call her up, but he couldn't wake up no matter how he swayed, so he had no choice but to sit next to him, leaving her alone It is not good, after all, he has followed the old monk in Buddhism for several years, and he also knows how to help the poor and do good deeds.
Looking at Li Erya's sleeping beautiful face, he hadn't been alone with the opposite sex for many years, and his body seemed to be a little hot at the moment, alas, if only Nizi were here.
Just as he was thinking wildly, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow under the moonlight that was quickly coming towards this side, and he came to him in a moment, and it turned out to be Liu Thirteen.
"Master, why are you here?"
"The old man returned to Ziberlin and didn't see your figure, the backpack is still there, I know that something must have happened, so I looked all the way over, what is going on?"
Arara recounted what he had seen.
Liu Shisan pondered for a moment and said, "Since Sun Yifeng has followed here, it seems that there must be something strange about this tomb. ”
"Li Erya's sleepwalking is so bad, I can't wake her up."
"She's not sleepwalking, she's been manipulated by someone to let the old man see," Liu Shisan sneered and leaned over, sniffed close to her face, and then said, "She's been." ”
"Washiki?" Arira was puzzled.
"It's a kind of demonic spirit, and it smells like a cat." Liu 13 said hehehe.
