After the fire was completely burned out, Li Changshui said loudly: "Come and dig up this land with a few anti-hoes!" ”

However, this time Li Changshui's majesty was invalid, after a long time, no one stepped forward, obviously, everyone was still worried about digging up piles of mouse corpses just now, and everyone must know a little bit in their hearts, what is buried in the ground, the most important thing is that Huang Youcai, the director of the Revolutionary Committee of the year, once organized the excavation of Li Fangtian's grave, but before he had time to excavate, he was first killed by the thunder on a dry day, such a thing happened, and now who dares to break ground on the head of "Tai Sui". Someone asked, "Can I dig this ground, and what if it is struck by lightning?" ”

Huang Yixian said: "You don't have to worry, the reason why Huang Youcai was killed by thunder on a dry day back then was because he chose the unitary time when the yin energy was at its peak that day, and now it is the afternoon when the yang energy is at its peak, everyone just has to do it." ”

Although Huang Yixian gave him a reassuring pill, no one was willing to do it, Li Changshui couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and shouted at the top of his voice: "You guys, Master Huang said that there would be nothing to do, why are you still stunned!" Do you want me and Master Huang to do it ourselves! Fuck you don't want to get the year-end dividend! ”

Li Changshui moved out the year-end dividends of the village-run factory, but everyone drooped their heads, and some villagers with hoes stood back one after another, and still no one stepped forward.

Li Changshui's eyes rolled, and he suddenly took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a few hundred-yuan bills, raised them in his hands, and said loudly: "As long as you come to dig the ground, you will be paid 100 yuan per person!" ”

This trick really worked, and after a while, a few young men who were a little bolder came out of the crowd, carrying hoes and walking forward, which immediately reminded me of nine years ago in Qiping Village, Qi Erye also used this trick to call a group of young men to help carry the Huaimu ghost coffin, but at that time it was only five yuan, but now it is a hundred.

Li Changshui asked several young men to line up, and handed out the hundred-yuan bills in his hands one by one on the spot, and then said: "Wait first, and listen to Master Huang's instructions later, where he asks you to dig, you will dig where!" ”

Huang Yixian held a compass in his left hand and a wooden stick in his right hand, turned clockwise around the land temple a few times, and finally stopped in front of the land temple, drew a rectangle about two meters long and one meter wide on the ground with the wooden stick in his hand, and turned his head to the young men and said: "Just dig down from here, as long as you see the red soil layer, stop immediately." ”

However, the young men looked at each other, and no one moved, and it turned out that the rectangle happened to contain the pile of charred mouse carcasses.

"Uncle Shui, can you find someone to clean up this pile of rat corpses before digging it up!"

"That's it! I can't get off the hoe. ”

……

Several young men complained at Li Changshui.

Li Changshui glared at them, but he didn't say anything, maybe he felt that it was really a bit disgusting to dig directly like this, so he took out another hundred-yuan bill and said to the crowd: "Whoever comes to clean up these mouse corpses, also give a hundred!" As soon as he finished speaking, a voice that could not be more familiar came: "I'm coming!" I got it! ”

I turned my head and looked, it was actually a fat cow! Even though he covered his face with his clothes, I recognized him at a glance because of his panda-like body.

I was very surprised by his appearance, this guy is usually very timid, even if he sees a dead mouse, he will walk around the road, and today he will take the initiative to clean up such a large number of mouse corpses, can he also hit the evil?

I quickly reacted, he was not bumping into evil, but for the hundred-yuan bill in Li Changshui's hand!

Although Niu Fatzi has been trying his best to make money, I didn't expect him to be able to overcome the fear in his heart for money, which was beyond my expectations.

"Which one are you?" Li Changshui stared at the fat cow standing in front of him, with a puzzled expression. Presumably, there are no people in their village who look as fat as Niu Fat.

"Hehe, I'm from the next village!" Niu Fat Man said, snatched the hundred-yuan bill from Li Changshui's hand, put it in his trouser pocket, ignored Li Changshui's surprised gaze, and borrowed a handful of spoons and shovels from the person next to him.

The charred mouse carcass was shoveled by him, and immediately emitted a pungent scorching smell, and it also raised a cloud of black dust, which was blown by the wind, and the black dust mixed with sparks scattered in all directions, and everyone avoided it.

I couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for the fat cow, obviously, the pile of freshly charred mouse corpses was still in a hot state, and he was shirtless, if those sparks splashed on his body, wouldn't it hurt? However, the fat man ignored it completely, and continued to work hard, completely like the timid and fearful guy in my usual impression.

In a few moments, the fat man cleaned up the mouse carcasses, and when he looked at him again, he had completely changed his appearance, and the black ash mixed with sweat stuck to his body, making him look as if he had just climbed out of the coal kiln. He took off the garment that covered his head, rubbed it a few times, and ran to the river.

Looking at the back of the fat man, I was a little worried, he was busy just now, and I didn't know if he was burned, and I was thinking about whether to go over to see him, but Li Changshui began to shout at a few young men to dig the ground, because I wanted to see what would be underground, I struggled for a while, and finally decided to watch the excitement first.

Several young men began to dig down the rectangle drawn by Huang Yixian.

Although it had not rained for a long time, perhaps because the land had been piled up with garbage for many years, the soil was very loose, and in a short time a hole was dug into the ground twenty or thirty centimeters deep.

Seeing this, Huang Yixian hurriedly shouted: "Don't be in a hurry to dig deep, dig up all the soil first!" ”

Under Huang Yixian's personal guidance, a rectangular pit about half a meter deep gradually emerged, but it was still black soil, and there was no red soil layer as Huang Yixian said. I can't help but have doubts about Huang Yixian's words, although in our place, red soil is more common, the teacher also once said that as long as the soil is rich in iron oxide, it will appear red, in the south of our country, most of the soil has different degrees of red soil characteristics, so there is nothing special. However, I don't look like I can dig out a red layer of soil in front of me.

Just when I thought it might be Huang Yixian who looked away, a young man who was digging suddenly let out a "Ah! Then the onlookers also exclaimed.

I hurriedly looked into the pit, and was astonished to see that where the screaming young man had made his hoe, the soil was as bright red as if it had just been soaked with blood! Although the red soil was everywhere, it was the first time I had seen such bright red soil. And judging from the exclamations of the surrounding crowd, they may have never seen it before.

As soon as Huang Yixian saw this blood-colored soil, he immediately stopped several young men from continuing to dig.

He asked Li Changshui to hand over his backpack, took out a very delicate folding shovel from it, squatted down, and carefully scraped up the soil with this shovel. It was as if an archaeologist had discovered some precious artifact and dared to scrape it gently with a tool in order to avoid damage to the artifact.

Since Huang Yixian didn't let anyone else help, he worked alone for half an hour to clean up the black soil in the entire pit.

The blood-red layer of soil was fully revealed, and I was stunned as I watched it, and the rest of the group was shocked, and someone whispered that it was caused by the blood of the dead rats seeping into the soil. In fact, this is a bit unreasonable, because if this is the case, then what about the black soil on the upper layer of weishenme? It stands to reason that the upper soil should be dyed red first.

Huang Yixian seemed to have heard everyone's speculation, and said: "This is the blood and soil layer, which is caused by the interaction of masculine qi and yin and evil qi!" ”

"Then how did this masculinity and yin and evil come about?" Li Changshui asked.

Huang Yixian explained: "Originally, there were peach trees planted in this place, and the peach wood is a masculine wood, which can produce masculinity, and there is a very evil thing buried underneath, which will produce yin and evil energy. Yin and yang are mixed to form this layer of blood and soil. ”

"What should we do now that the peach tree that suppresses evil spirits is gone? Do you want to plant another one? ”

Huang Yixian glanced at Li Changshui: "You still want to plant peach trees, it's useless to plant them now, it's hard to suppress that evil thing anymore." ”

Li Changshui's face changed: "Ah! Master Huang, you have to think of a way! Otherwise, I am afraid that there will be no peaceful life in our village. ”

Huang Yixian frowned and pondered for a while, and said: "There is only one way for today, which is to take that evil stone to a proper place and seal it, as for his body, I still have the opinion of the year, and it must be cremated together with the coffin." ”

"What! Rise...... Cremation of the coffin? "Li Changshui looked a little embarrassed, in our place, it is a big disrespect to lift the coffin, let alone cremate the corpse. And more importantly, Huang You planned to cremate the coffin, but he was chopped to death before he could even move the soil.

"Is there any other way? Why don't you just get that stone away and not cremate the body? ”
