All Chapters_Chapter 028 Suspicion Returns
When I woke up, it was the next morning, the sun shining through the windowpane on my face, and my eyes were astringent.
I subconsciously touched to my side, it was empty, I knew that Zhou Manman could no longer lie next to me and sleep quietly like a fawn.
"Son, are you awake?" Mother's voice remembered outside the door. "It's time for breakfast."
"Hmm." I said yes, sat up and put clothes on my body.
I didn't say a word when I ate, my eyes were stunned, I didn't have a father when I was a child, I was bullied by others or suffered any grievances, I didn't cry or make trouble.
At that time, I thought that I would die if I bled out, so I never dared to do anything with others, and I explained my illness to others like a fool.
My mother raised me with hard work, and every day of the Lunar Calendar, I would pick vegetables from my own vegetable garden and sell them in the town.
I never felt that there was any shame in this, and there were a few times when I couldn't sell the vegetables at home, and I fell asleep lying next to the vegetable stall, and when I woke up the next day, I found myself lying on the bed at home.
Once, on the way out of school, I saw my mother's stall trampled by two thugs who collected protection money, and my mother's eyes touched me standing in the middle of the road not far away, she picked up the vegetable basket and left, ignoring the scolding of the thugs behind her.
My mother smiled and said to me, "Son, why did you get out of school so early today, the vegetables were sold out, and my mother took you to buy meat and make braised pork for you to eat at night." ”
My mother took my little hand and left, and I clenched my other little hand into a fist and turned to look at the two thugs behind me who were smoking cigarettes and smiling insensibly, their eyes frighteningly red.
I knew that my mother was very lonely, and at that time I thought that I must find a beautiful and gentle daughter-in-law to take care of her when I grow up.
I thought Zhou Manman was such a person, but in the end, she was just a walking corpse.
When I watched her being tied to a fixed wind pile to be burned to death, I had mixed feelings, and she said that she had never wanted to harm me, so I regretted it and pounced on her to save her.
The villagers stopped me and dragged me out of the crowd, and then I didn't know who knocked me unconscious.
My mother said that something strange happened after I fainted last night.
Zhou Manman was not burned to death by the fire.
At that time, everyone was very scared, and Li Fugui didn't expect it to be like this, the fire in this world can burn all evil and filth, including ghosts, he doesn't know why the female ghost Zhou Manman can't be burned to death even though she was engulfed in fire.
Later, when the blind man finally heard the sound and knew what was going on, he looked around and pointed to a dead tree in the far side of the pond for everyone to look over.
There was a big black cat on the dead tree.
The big black cat frightened everyone, no one had ever seen such a big cat, and its eyes were staring at the villagers with green eyes, as if it were staring at its prey, and when it saw someone shining a flashlight at it, it jumped down from the tree with a cry and disappeared into the night.
The villagers didn't understand what Guo was blind about, and Li Fugui didn't understand either, so they asked him what was going on.
Guo Blind said that if you want to kill Zhou Manman, you must kill the big black cat, the black cat was with the woman who was nailed to the coffin when the plague broke out in the village seventy years ago, and he has not died for so many years, he has already become a sperm, and he has been hiding in the forbidden land of the back mountain, it is it that makes the dead Zhou Manman a ghost.
Some people of the older generation remembered the events of the past, saying that the woman was indeed followed by a black cat, and then disappeared with the woman.
But cats can live for 70 years, no one dares to believe that the life span of cats in one year is equivalent to 10 years of human beings, and it is already an unprecedented thing to live for 10 years, but the facts are in front of them, and everyone has seen it with their own eyes, and they have to believe it.
Guo Blind said that there was a big black cat behind this female ghost to protect her, and the ordinary open fire could not be burned to death, and there were only two ways to kill her, one was to use Dao Fire, and the second was to seal.
This fire is something that can only be cultivated by a Taoist master who cultivates for a lifetime, and the old Xiucai of decades ago can take fire out of thin air in his hands, that is the Dao fire.
But Guo Blind doesn't have this Taoism, he is the most famous feng shui gentleman in Futuling, or a Taoist disciple, he can't, who else can?
Li Fugui's face was gloomy, he didn't know Dao Huo, there were really strange people in the world who could cultivate Dao Huo, but he practiced martial arts, even if the Soul Breaking Needle in his hand was given to him by a strange person who taught him back then, saying that he might use it in the future.
So Li Fugui could only listen to Guo Blind's advice and use the second method to seal Zhou Manman.
The villagers listened to Guo's blind man's words and pulled a coffin from the town overnight. In front of everyone, Guo Blind drove several black nails into Zhou Manman's limbs, and then put her into the coffin, adding nails to the coffin lid, and pasting cinnabar yellow charms around and on the coffin lid.
Guo Blind said that Zhou Manman was injured by the ghost, and most of the yin qi was dispersed, and after sealing, the coffin was exposed to the sun for seven days, and then she would be gone, but during this time, someone should take turns guarding the coffin day and night to prevent the big black cat from taking Zhou Manman's soul away.
The villagers had no choice but to agree, and a few able-bodied young men from each village took turns guarding the guard, each with an old-fashioned shotgun.
Li Fugui looked at Guo Blind with unkind eyes, and left the crowd without saying a word.
After telling me everything that happened last night, my mother asked me what I wanted to do next.
I said, "Two days of calm, go to the county and find a job." ”
Seeing that I was not happy, my mother didn't ask any more questions, so I went back to my room after eating, and took out the feng shui secret records that Huang Cripple handed over to me before he died.
Ordinary feng shui common sense is not very difficult to understand, plus most of the Huang family's feng shui secret records are relatively basic things, and I will jump over when I encounter difficulties and difficult to understand, so it didn't take long for me to read the content on the feng shui secret records.
When I was in high school, I was also interested in Feng Shui for a while, and I rented a copy of the Book of Changes in a bookstore, and after reading it for a while, I found that I couldn't understand it, so I didn't read it again.
In the afternoon, I walked out of the house and prepared to take a look at the wind pile at the head of the village.
When my mother told me that Zhou Manman was not yet gone, I was somewhat relieved, but she had to be nailed to the coffin for seven days and seven nights, bearing the pain of the scorching sun until she was reduced to ashes.
From a distance, I saw the pitch-black coffin next to the wind fixing pile, surrounded by a dozen young men, holding shotguns in their hands to prevent the black cat from coming to bite the soul. For the sake of the tranquility of Futu Ridge, the villagers had to take strict precautions to prevent accidents.
"Yang Hao, it's good that you are a good person, she didn't hurt you when she helped her say a few fair words on the bus, and she didn't hurt you, and it was also thanks to this female ghost that she had a little conscience." A woman in the crowd on the side of the road greeted me when she saw me coming out.
I nodded, smiled apologetically, and got out of there.
"Cut, where is it good, the lonely man and widow have slept for seven or eight days without opening the meat, who believes it." The other woman whispered as she rolled her eyes as she munched on melon seeds, and after a while he seemed to remember something funny. "Unless he can't, he can only do it in a hurry."
I looked at the coffin that kept Zhou Manman inside, ignored those people, and walked towards the head of the village.
Zhou Manman's ghost is not gone, and the soul of the underworld who does not return to the underworld after the first seven years will not be able to return, either the lonely soul and wild ghost in the adult world, or gradually die. Ghosts who remain in the world after the first seven days are actually not much stronger than people, if they are all as exaggerated as flying away from the sky on TV, what is the difference between them and immortals?
The ghost that cannot be burned by the open fire should put it into a coffin sprinkled with corpse powder, and the inner wall of the coffin is pasted with a yellow charm of cinnabar to ward off ghosts, and the soul can be dissipated by exposing it to the sun for seven days.
I want to save Zhou Manman, but I can't do anything, not to mention whether I can beat these young people, even if there is no one to guard here, I'm afraid I won't be able to open the coffin.
The general coffin lid has to weigh more than 100 catties, and there is no special tool to open the coffin and pull out the nails after nailing the nails on it. The black coffin containing Zhou Manman had just been beaten, and the wood was extremely hard.
I think it's too many times to guard against a cat.
When the young men guarding the coffin saw me walking towards the coffin, they beckoned me to hurry up, and I looked around the coffin from a distance, and as my mother had told me, there were cinnabar yellow charms on all sides of the coffin and on the lid of the coffin.
The black paint on the surface of the coffin does not look dry, and the texture of the coffin rings can be faintly seen.
I don't know why, but I always felt that there was something wrong with this coffin.
In our Futuling, there are elderly people in the family, generally a few years in advance to put a good coffin in the idle house, this kind of coffin is called the longevity coffin or the happy coffin, the old people look not only not afraid but also happy that they have a place to live after death. The older generation of people had experienced wars, and many people died in wars, and many of them were hastily buried with mats, so it was a good thing to know that they would have a good coffin after they died.
Guo Blind wants to use the coffin to seal Zhou Manmanman, just borrow a family's, there is no need to go all the way to the coffin shop overnight to pull a freshly beaten coffin, I can even smell the smell of the coffin, it is a new wood that has just been cut not long ago.
When I got home, I flipped through the Feng Shui Secret Book and found the one that recorded the method of letting the evil spirits fly away in seven days.
The method mentioned in the book is roughly the same as Guo Blind's method of exterminating ghosts, but the book says that the cinnabar yellow charm must be attached to the inside of the coffin to purify the ghosts in the coffin, and the last line emphasizes that the yellow charm cannot be pasted outside.
Because the yellow charm sticking on the outside of the coffin is to attract ghosts.
