I looked in the direction that Shen Yue pointed, and sure enough, there was a small courtyard in front of me, but the blue brick walls of that courtyard had collapsed, and there was indeed a figure under the broken window in that courtyard, but the figure was motionless, and it was not a living person at first glance, it was blue-gray, and I thought it was a stone statue.

"It's not human, why do I think it's like a stone statue?" I wondered.

Shen Yue ran directly over there, and when he got closer, he even touched the head of the stone statue, and he said, "Xiao Fan, this is really a fucking stone statue!" ”

The stone statue, I also thought it was a stone statue just now, but the stone statue was a little too realistic, and the height ratio was the same as that of a real person, so at first glance, it really looked like a real person.

Shen Yue came out from that side, walked towards the front for a while, he pointed to the front and said: ", there are also in front, there are many such stone statues in the courtyard over there." ”

At this time, Sister Zhang and the little goblin also followed, and I asked, "Sister Zhang, did you see this kind of stone statue when you came yesterday?" ”

Sister Zhang nodded, she said: "See, these stone statues have always been in this ghost village, before entering the village, we went to the nearby village separately to inquire about some news, it is because of these stone statues that this village has become a ghost village, don't touch those stone statues!" ”

"What happens if you touch it?" I asked.

"I don't know about this sister, it's just that your father and your second grandfather agree that this kind of stone statue is dangerous, so, no matter what, don't touch it anyway!" Sister Zhang emphasized again and again.

Shen Yue also touched the head of the stone statue just now, and I looked at him as if nothing had happened, but I was still a little worried. A few of us hurried ahead of the curve, and Sister Zhang continued to talk about the village.

Yes, this village was a very famous fishing village a long time ago, because it was close to the Yi River, the whole village made a living from fishing, and the fish in this place were particularly delicious, and there were a lot of them, most of which were mainly carp. In addition, the carp produced in this village is very distinctive, that is, each fish has a gray-black mark on the door of the head, which is very irregular, and it feels as if it has been burned from a distance, which looks very strange.

But the more this kind of fish, the more delicious it is, and the size is still very large, and some of the best ones are nearly two feet long. This is also why, in the Qing Dynasty, in a small fishing village, every family in the village could live in a blue brick house, and each family could have a separate courtyard.

It wasn't until the end of the Qing Dynasty that there was an incident in which the village chief had a dream, and he dreamed that a man knelt in front of his bed, saying that he was begging the village chief to spare his life.

The village chief wondered, because he had never seen the man at all, and the man did not look like he was from the village. The village chief asked, "Tell me, how can I spare your life?" ”

The man on his knees replied, "There is a carp in the pool in your yard, and unlike ordinary carps, there are no black spots on the forehead, and I will survive if I let it go!" ”

The village chief agreed, because carp with black spots on its forehead sold well, and those without black spots could not be sold at a high price.

However, when the village chief got up the next day, he found that the sun had already dried his buttocks, and went to the pool to look for the carp, but found that the carp was gone.

So he went and asked her daughter-in-law if she had seen the carp.

The village chief has also read for a few years, and he has also heard about the carp jumping over the dragon gate, and Li Bai also has a poem that says: The three-foot carp of the Yellow River is originally in Mengjinju, and the amount is not a dragon, and it returns to accompany the fish. Yes, the carp jumping over the dragon gate will go through the thunderstorm, and the head of the failure will leave a little black robbery scar, and the black-spotted carp is actually the carp that failed to cross the catastrophe. This carp does not have black spots, could it be said that it is going to leap over the dragon gate and turn into a dragon?

And this place is not far from the Dragon Gate, is the cross real?

The village chief muttered more and more in his heart, so he went to ask his daughter-in-law where the fish had gone. Because yesterday's harvest was only the size of that fish, but there were no black spots on the forehead.

Who knew that when I asked, I found out that the carp had been sold by her daughter-in-law, and it was still at a high price, and a carp was sold for ten taels of silver.

The village chief asked when the person who bought the carp came, and the village chief's daughter-in-law said that she had come early in the morning, and that she had bought the carp and left with a donkey cart.

It's been a few hours, and I can't catch up if I want to, so the village chief has no choice but to give up. It's just a dream anyway, and you don't have to take it that seriously.

On the same day, when the village chief went out fishing with a few village men, he heard a person from the same village say that the person who came to buy fish in the morning must have been the owner of a coffin shop in Luoyang City.

The village chief asked the owner of the coffin shop what it was and which coffin shop it was, but the man couldn't answer. The man said that he also saw it from the man's donkey cart, because the cart in which the man was riding was different from the cart used to pull the coffin, and the cart was used to pull the coffin.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a more famous coffin shop in Luoyang City, which is easy to think, could it be that the person who came here to buy the carp at that time was Lin Zhaotang?

Sister Zhang said this, she looked at me, because the mention of the coffin shop made me think of the Lin Ji coffin shop, and Sister Zhang must have thought of the Lin Ji coffin shop that we went to find together.

The only thing that made me doubt was that when I saw Lin Zhaotang that day, he didn't look like a living person, he was covered in corpse spots, including that Aunt Qing, I was wondering, what happened after I brought that carp back then?

Of course, this may also be just a coincidence, after all, there were many coffin shops at that time, and it was not only Lin Ji's coffin shop that was famous.

However, from that day on, the small fishing village could no longer catch the carp with black spots. Even the kind of ordinary fish and shrimp are becoming less and less.

Seeing that the harvest is not as good as day by day, a villager found a dark hole under a cliff by the river, the hole is buried underwater, some villagers said, is it that the fish elsewhere have been caught, maybe there are still some fish hidden in the dark hole, the villagers are excited to see this, the village chief talked and said: "Otherwise, let's try it!" ”

Several villagers went into battle and found the strongest fishing net, and they were all excited.

This is at least a little hope.

Then, the villagers just lowered the net, and then used the usual method to let the net go deep into the dark hole, waiting for the floats around the net to move.

However, after going down the net for more than ten minutes, the bait on the net was also very sufficient, but the float just didn't move.

The villagers were a little discouraged, saying that the cave must be empty too, there must be nothing. There was no hope, and everyone began to pull the net on the shore, who knew that when the net was pulled, it would be dead and sinking.

The first few villagers immediately came to the end, this is a fucking big guy?

Four or five men, under the command of the village chief, pulled hard, and after more than ten minutes, the fish was not caught, but a corpse was caught. At that time, everyone was frightened, and even some people were about to run away, and one of them said quickly with his brain: "What corpse, how can this corpse be so heavy, is it a treasure, our place is so close to the Longmen Grottoes, it is not strange to have a god carving stone carving or something!" ”

This was directly said to the hearts of the villagers, and everyone dragged the stone statue to the shore in a daze. That's right, as the man said, it's a stone statue, a bluestone stone statue, the carving is lifelike, no wonder everyone thought they had caught a corpse just now.

People in the village who are a little cultured say that this beautifully carved stone statue may be able to fetch a good price. However, the stone statue was very heavy, so everyone carried it and placed it in the nearest villager's house to the river.

The village chief sent people to inquire outside to see if there was any such thing, and a few people came, and the prices were very low, and the villagers felt that this mysterious stone statue was worth it and were unwilling to sell it at a low price.

Later, the villagers continued to salvage the cave and fished out many of these stone statues. Some villagers ran around to contact buyers, but no one wanted such a stone statue of unknown origin.

One morning, something strange happened, and it happened in the house where the stone statue was first placed. The man in the house is missing, and there is an extra stone statue in the courtyard, which is exactly the same as the man.

Hearing this, the matter became more and more suspenseful, and Shen Yue asked: "Fuck, it's really fucking weird, could it be that the man really turned into a stone statue?" ”
