Chapter 21: Oral Transmission of Meat

The mountain god disappeared decades ago, and it didn't appear for so many years, but now it suddenly appeared, and I listened to it very mysteriously, but Liu Cheng asked with interest, "Did she tell you anything?" ”

Old man Li shook his head and said, "Just look for me to get her shoes back, and then leave, did she find you?" ”

Liu Chengen sighed, and then told Old Man Li all the things about me being hit in the center of my eyebrows by a shoe and being borrowed a fire, and Old Man Li was at a loss after hearing this, and only said after a while, "At the beginning, no one in the village gave her food, why did she find the Sun family?" Don't you hate Sun Wenjing for pushing her mountain temple in the first place? After Old Man Li finished speaking, he denied his guess, "If you want to talk about Tui Shan Temple, I also went to push it at the beginning, but she came to the door, but she didn't mention it to me, could it be that Sun Wenjing took something from her?" ”

Old man Li said it so obviously, I can think of the mountain god seal at once, the mountain god seal was originally the mountain god's, but in the end it fell into the hands of my grandfather without explanation, if the mountain god didn't come to take revenge for the fact that she toppled the mountain god temple in the first place, it must be because grandpa took the mountain god seal.

When Old Man Li spoke, Liu Cheng kept staring at Old Man Li's face, without saying a word, and there was no expression on his face.

After the old man Li chattered a lot, he found that Liu Cheng had been staring at him, and immediately said, "Master Liu, what are you doing all the time staring at me, do you suspect that I threw the shoes at Sun Qing?" I have to sit upright, Master Liu, you can't wronged a good person. ”

Liu Cheng smiled faintly and said, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about things just now, I have a question I want to ask you, about the mountain god entering the village to beg for food, I also asked Sun Qing and his grandfather, but what he told you is a little different, what his grandfather said is that the mountain god is holding a dead female baby, and you are talking about a female doll who is about to starve to death, are you sure that the female baby is still alive?" ”

Listening to Liu Cheng's question, Old Man Li was silent, lowered his head and smoked a cigarette, and exhaled a few puffs of smoke before saying, "It's dead." ”

Liu Cheng asked again, "Then why did you say that the girl was still alive before?" ”

Old man Li was silent again, and only after a while did he say, "When the mountain god came with that female doll, he was indeed dead, and he came to find someone to ask for a living person's food, and I also saw it at that time, and the female doll had indeed died, but then I didn't believe that the female doll was dead." ”

"Why?" Liu Cheng asked.

Old man Li said slowly, "I haven't told anyone about this, because no one will believe it, since Master Liu has asked, then I'll tell you." Although no one was willing to give the female doll a living meal at the beginning, I think that Sun Qing and his grandfather must have agreed to the mountain god and fed the female doll a living meal. There is such a thing, at that time Sun Qing his grandmother was still alive, I had a good relationship with Sun Wenjing, often went to his house to chat with him, one night I was idle and ran to Sun Wenjing's house, and he chatted for a while and didn't know why he fell asleep, when he was dazed, I heard Sun Wenjing's house crying with a doll, I was still wondering, and said that his family had not given birth to a doll recently, where did the doll cry? I got up and looked at it, and then I saw Sun Wenjing going out with something in his arms. ”

Liu Cheng and I listened silently, Old Man Li lowered his head and took a few puffs of cigarettes, and then continued, "I followed Sun Wenjing all the way, and saw that he really hugged a female doll, and went to several neighboring villages, specifically picking those orphan women and widows' homes to knock on the door, what did he do, go to those orphan women and widows to ask for milk, those orphan women and widows don't have men, where did the milk come from?" But Sun Wenjing insisted that he wanted to try it, and those orphan girls and widows couldn't bear to watch the female doll he was holding starve to death, so they tried it one by one. At that time, Chen Yingying's mother was also a widow, but she also tried, and the female doll that Sun Wenjing was holding only took a sip, and suddenly disappeared, so frightened that Chen Yingying and her mother immediately closed the door. ”

"And then?" I knew what was really important next and couldn't wait to ask.

Old man Li laughed and said, "When the girl doll is gone, your grandfather will look back satisfied." I was also frightened, and your grandfather suddenly turned around, so frightened that I sat back and sat back in a quagmire, and a rock in the quagmire hurt my buttocks, and I bounced it violently, and then I woke up. ”

After listening to it for so long, it was a dream to co-author, and he was extremely disappointed and glanced at Old Man Li, "It turned out to be just a dream." ”

Old man Li smiled again, "It would be nice if it was a dream, the next day I came back and always felt that my butt hurt, and my heart said that something was wrong, so I ran to the quagmire where I sat down the night before and went to see it, and I really saw my butt marks in the quagmire, which means that I really came here the night before, and what I saw is also very likely to be true, and then I ran to ask your grandfather, and your grandfather insisted that I was dreaming, and I couldn't help it, so this matter was over." ”

Liu Cheng has been listening, and has not opened his mouth to express his opinion, this story seems to be over, but Old Man Li has something to say next, and then looked at Liu Cheng and said, "It is not for nothing that the people in this village do not want to see those orphan girls and widows, nor do they want to see Sun Wenjing, although Sun Wenjing has tried his best to explain these years, but the people in the village do not believe it at all, and it is not without reason. Since the day I dreamed, your grandfather had been involved with those orphan widows and widows, and it was fine at first, but in the next year, several orphan widows became pregnant, and they didn't even have men, how could they get pregnant? This matter was not done by Sun Wenjing, who else could it be? ”

After hearing this, Liu Cheng asked, "Did those pregnant orphan girls and widows give birth?" ”

Old man Li sighed, "Yes, those orphan girls and widows have no men but give birth to babies, and they can't stand other people poking their backs and scolding, most of them hanged themselves when the dolls could eat and live on their own, so their dolls became orphans again, Chen Yingying is one of them, Sun Wenjing is so dedicated to those living orphan girls and widows, you say he didn't do something wrong, why is he so thankless?" ”

Liu Cheng listened and nodded thoughtfully, "So you think that the female doll that Sun Qing's grandfather was holding at that time was the one that the mountain god was holding?" ”

Old man Li sighed, "I think it is, but then the female doll suddenly disappeared again, I guess it may have entered Chen Yingying's mother's belly, Chen Yingying may be the female doll, but I believe in this kind of thing alone, where would other people in the village believe such a mysterious thing." ”

Old man Li finished talking about this matter thoroughly, and Liu Cheng asked Old Man Li a few more questions, and then took me out.

Old man Li went all the way to his house before going back, and after Old Man Li returned to the house, I asked Liu Cheng, "Is what Old Man Li said true?" ”

Liu Chengdao, "There are true and false, the female mountain god came to the door to ask for leave, the shoes are fake, and the dream he made is true." ”

I asked, "Why?" ”

Liu Cheng looked at me and smiled, "If both things are true, your grandfather really saved the female doll, and he is the benefactor of the mountain god, if the mountain god really comes back, he should be grateful to your grandfather, instead of using shoes to harm you." So it's fake that the mountain god came back, and it's true that your grandfather saved that female doll. ”

I thought about it, but I couldn't figure out what the basis for his judgment was, so I simply asked again, "How do you know that my grandfather really saved that female doll?" ”

Liu Cheng said, "Because your grandfather has the seal of the mountain god, this matter is not difficult to guess, your grandfather promised to save the female doll, so the mountain god gave the mountain god seal to your grandfather as a thanks, since the mountain god gave him the mountain god seal to thank your grandfather, then the one who threw shoes at your grandmother and you must not be the mountain god, but another black hand, and the purpose of that person may be the female doll that your grandfather saved." Your grandfather made many orphan widows pregnant in order to prevent the man from finding the doll, and if that were the case, your grandfather would have been so meticulous that it was terrible. ”

That makes sense, but there's one more thing I don't understand, so I asked, "Can the girls get pregnant if they just snort?" ”

When I talked about this, Liu Cheng turned his face and coughed dryly, "Don't ask about this, children." ”

I was so curious about it that I said, "I forgot about it when I heard it." ”

Liu Cheng glanced at me, and then said, "Of course a female doll can't get pregnant, those orphan widows are really pregnant with your grandfather's child, there is a saying in Taoism called' Meat and mouth transmission', just to get those orphan girls and widows pregnant, it is not enough to disturb the audio-visual, only when every pregnant person is stained with the breath of the female doll, can it be done to disturb the audio-visual, so your grandfather will hold the female doll to beg for milk, so that the child they give birth to will have the breath of the female doll, so that it is not easy for the black hand to find the female doll. ”

I listened with a blushing face, so to speak, the people in the village all day long said that grandpa and those orphans and widows are not unclear is not empty words, but there is real evidence, no wonder grandpa has rarely explained over the years, it seems that he really did something wrong, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Then Chen Yingying is the female doll at that time?" ”

Liu Cheng nodded, "Most likely, otherwise your grandfather wouldn't be stupid enough to marry you a female ghost as a daughter-in-law, unless that female ghost has a special identity." ”
