Chapter 62: Eliminating Evil

"You mean... After you prayed to the fox fairy, the next day the village chief of Gaojia Village who persecuted your father died? I asked.

"Uh-huh." Gao Laosan said.

At the beginning, the village chief of Gaojia Village told me and Miss Bai about Xu Xiangqian's past, saying that the day after Xu Xiangqian committed suicide by jumping into the river, the village chief who killed him in the village died, as if he was scared to death by something. At that time, the people in the village were panicked, thinking that Xu Xiangqian had become a water ghost, and ran back to the village to scare the village chief to death.

Because Gao Xiaowen, who died in the ancestral temple, was similar to the death of the village chief back then, he was also scared to death. Therefore, the village chief and the other old men in the village all thought that Xu Xiangqian had returned. Later, I learned that the so-called 'water ghost' was nothing more than a paper figure made by people with strange fish inside. I think that scaring Gao Xiaowen to death, as well as the village chief who scared him to death back then, may have been done by the same person. At that time, I suspected Gao Laosan, and I met two fathers and sons squatting there eating by the Yellow River, and I tested them. The old man was submissive and didn't say anything, and his son said that they had caught that kind of strange fish in the net, and let them go.

I was in a hurry to find Uncle Yang, so I didn't say anything. At this moment, listening to what the third old man Gao said, could it be that the village chief was scared to death back then, and Gao Xiaowen was scared to death by getting the strange fish into the paper figure later, all of which were done by the fox fairy? Then who is the man in black I chased last night, if the person who got the strange fish into the paper man and raised it in the reservoir is him, could it be that he is the fox fairy? … Look at the man running up ghostly, jumping and jumping, it really doesn't look like a human, the man jumped to the vegetable greenhouse, like a gecko crawled over, the old paper also learned from him, and the result was 'click' to collapse the greenhouse...

I shook my head vigorously, in the dark, I couldn't see Gao Laosan's face clearly, I couldn't figure out whether he was telling the truth or a lie, I could only continue to ask him, looking for clues from his words to judge the truth.

"It turns out that the villain village chief was scared to death by the fox fairy's manifestation." I quietly followed Gao Laosan and said, "Later, uncle, you continue..."

The old man said that after the death of the village chief, the villagers generally believed that Xu Xiangqian turned into a water ghost and ran back to be scared to death. Gao Laosan returned to the Yellow River beach and continued to live a life without fighting with the world. Every once in a while, he would cross the river to the town of Bluestone and burn some paper at his father's grave. And every time he comes, Gao Laosan will inevitably go to the Fox Immortal Temple, burn some paper for Fox Daxian, and put a few sticks of incense. I don't know if it was the blessing of the father in the spirit of heaven or the blessing of the fox immortal, this year, Gao Laosan married a fisherman's daughter from the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and then had a son Gao Dashang.

A family of three is far away from the world, saving money and frugality, but it is also happy. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and in the following year, Gao Laosan's wife died of illness, and he was a father and a mother alone, pulling Gao Da up. Year after year, seeing that his son is tall and middle-aged, and has not yet married a daughter-in-law, his body is not as good as day by day, the old man and the third old man can't help but get anxious, every time a fisherman's boat comes from upstream or downstream, passing by his door, he will stop others, ask the other party to help inquire where there is a suitable unmarried girl, just the old man's cringeful character, as well as the ability to stumble and express himself, he actually dared to stop the stranger's boat, it seems that it is also for the son's lifelong event. Fortunately, those fishermen are also kind ordinary people, seeing that the two fathers and sons are pitiful, no one cares, and no one feels sorry for them. However, the conditions of Gao Laosan's family are too poor, and the tall man is thin, short and slender, and no girl is willing to marry him.

Just when Gao Laosan no longer had any hope for his son's lifelong event, one day this year, a fisherman downstream brought him good news, saying that a family in their village was willing to marry their daughter to Gao Dashang. When asked, the fisherman said that some time ago he had been diverting water from the Yellow River to the tributary river in front of their village, and two girls had gone to the river to wash their clothes, and one of them had been washed away by the flood, and the other girl was probably frightened and mentally ill because she had seen her companion washed away by the water, and she was crazy all day long. The girl was already engaged and was about to get married, so the man's family ruined the marriage. The girl's parents said that if Gao Laosan's father and son did not dislike their daughter as a madman, they would marry their daughter to his family without a penny of bride price.

Gao Laosan naturally didn't say a word, Gao Dashang has been a bachelor for twenty or thirty years, and she doesn't choose to eat, so she doesn't care if she's crazy and stupid, just a woman. The father and son happily took the girl home, and it was not long before the girl became pregnant. Gao Laosan believes that this girl is not born crazy, but frightened crazy, and it will definitely be normal for the child to be born at that time. The old man rejoiced every day, thinking that the Gao family finally had a queen. But on this day, the girl suddenly disappeared. The two fathers and sons searched separately, until they found that in the evening, Gao Laosan came to a depression on the river beach, and saw several villagers from Gaojia Village surrounded in the distance, one by one, swaying, disheveled, looking like they had drunk wine. The old man looked over and saw that his lungs were almost flat, only to see his daughter-in-law lying naked in the middle of the crowd, and a villager ** was lying on top of her, 'hum hi' exercise. These old men all knew each other, and almost every one of them had bullied their father and son, and the villager who was raping his daughter-in-law was named Gao Xiaowen.

Before Gao Laosan could speak, one of the villagers gave him a punch, and then, several villagers worked together, knocked him to the ground with three punches and two kicks, and threatened him that if he dared to tell the story of today, he and his son would be thrown into the Yellow River to feed the fish. Gao Xiaowen scolded and said that the old thing is dead, Lao Tzu is on the rise, and you came over to stir it up. While scolding, he was about to get up, and suddenly, the girl broke out from under him, and rushed into the Yellow River.

As a result, the villagers were all awakened and jumped into the river one after another. The girl was out of breath when she was fished up, so they threw the body to Gao Laosan in a panic and ran back to the village...

The old man was so sad and angry that he couldn't get out of bed for several days, and he didn't tell his son the truth, but only said that the girl had fallen into the Yellow River and drowned. Secretly, however, he gritted his teeth and vowed revenge on those who killed his daughter-in-law. It's a pity that the old man doesn't know the law, he doesn't know how to call the police, and he and his son are weak, and they are not the opponents of those villagers, what should I do? After thinking about it, the old man thought of the fox fairy, so after his daughter-in-law was buried, he struggled to get out of bed, and crossed the river to the fox fairy temple in Qingshi Town. At that time, it was still early, and the Fox Immortal Temple had just opened, and there were no pilgrims inside. The old man knocked his head on the statue of the fox fairy again, and prayed that the fox fairy would appear again and punish those wicked people... Within a few days, Gao's village was haunted by 'ghosts', and Gao Xiaowen was scared to death by 'ghosts'...

Listening to Gao Laosan talk about this, I swallowed my saliva, and said in my heart, this old man seems to be following my thoughts. I used to think that Gao Xiaowen was also like the village chief back then, he was scared to death by the fox fairy apparition that the old man said, and the old man said so at this moment...

In the dark, I heard the old man sitting on the bed sighing and crying. I comforted him, and said in my heart, could it be that the girl who was washing clothes by the river with Gao Laosan's daughter-in-law and was washed away by the flood was the female corpse that killed Zhao Xiaohu, the son of the village chief Zhao? If it is, then it's too coincidental, Village Chief Zhao sent Zhao Yinyang to find a Yin and Yang family for Xiaohu, and as a result, the female corpse stolen by Zhao Yinyang turned out to be the sister of the female corpse that harmed Xiaohu... It may be that the female corpse felt lonely, and asked Zhao Yinyang to pull her sister over to marry Xiaohu and be her companion, I thought to myself...

I asked the third old man again and again, and from what he said, I couldn't find any loopholes. Therefore, I think he should not be lying, everything he said is true. In this way, is the man in black I chased last night really a fox fairy? Did he (it) raise the strange fish into the paper figure and take it to Gaojia Village to scare Gao Xiaowen to death, and then kidnapped Uncle Yang? It's unbelievable, it's unimaginable...

If what Gao Laosan said is true, then if we want to find Uncle Yang and know the origin of the 'river god' in the reservoir of Qingshi Town, we have to start with the fox fairy. Right now, a child is missing in the Fox Fairy Temple, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the Fox Fairy.

Xiang Feng has been going for more than an hour, and I don't know what the situation is now, whether he has found the child. Seeing that I couldn't ask anything from Gao Laosan's mouth, I decided to go back to the town and go to the fox fairy temple to have a look.

"Uncle, come back to town with me, go to the Fox Immortal Temple first, and I'll take you to dinner later."

"Oh, that's embarrassing..."

The old man said he was embarrassed, but he got out of bed and followed me out of the hut.

The rain had stopped, and the air was very cold, and when I inhaled it, it was mixed with a puff of water. The lights in the ancient buildings on both sides of Bluestone Town look like a faint and flickering ghost fire from a distance. The street was washed by the rain, and the bluestone in the distance reflected the light, like a mirror with a very irregular shape.

The third old man walked very slowly, and I had to stop and wait for him from time to time. It was easy to come to the Fox Immortal Temple, only to see that the outside of the temple was empty, and those stalls had already been taken away.

When I walked into the temple, I saw a large group of people squatting or standing in the temple courtyard, both men and women. The paper figures had not yet been burned, they were all covered with plastic sheeting. From time to time, water droplets fell from the old elm tree in the southeast corner, hitting the plastic sheeting, and 'fluttering' sounds. This old elm tree is the tree that the owner of the funeral supply shop said buried the fox's body at the end of that year.

Miss Bai, Wei Niuniu, and Xiao Tutu were squatting under the eaves of the temple house to the north and chatting. When he saw me coming back, he hurriedly got up and greeted me.

"How's it going, did you find the kid?"

Miss Bai shook her head.

"Where's Ah Feng?" I asked.

"Go find the couple who lost their baby." Miss Bai said, "Ah Feng couldn't measure where the child had gone with the Qimen Bureau, so he said that he would find the child's parents and use the Faqimen test to see if he could measure it." ”

"And what are these people for?" I gestured to the people in the courtyard.

"Talk about you like we do." Wei Niuniu said.

"Talk about me?"

"Well, talk about you conscienceless scoundrel."

"Don't listen to her." Xiao Tutu covered his mouth and was happy.

"They heard that Ah Feng is a strange magician, and he wants to use spells to find that child, so they wait here to see the excitement." Miss Bai said.
