Chapter 25: Revenge for Xiao Er
In this way, Mao Leyan led a few wandering spirits down the mountain, Xiao Er led the way, passed through the dense bamboo forest, and then passed through a wheat field, and saw a row of houses looming in front of him, which should be the Guojia Village that Xiao Er said.
Xiao Er's house is a bluestone brick house, which is also quite large, with a courtyard building, and it can be seen that her father is not a poor man who is precarious.
It was the dead of night now, and the people of Guojia Village had already fallen asleep, and the occasional barking of dogs only added a little peace to the quiet night.
Mao Leyan stood in front of Xiao Er's house, after climbing over the wall and entering, he looked at the surrounding environment, the moon was hidden in the clouds tonight, and the velvety sky was only dotted with diamond-like stars, so that Mao Leyan, a big myopia, could not see the situation in the courtyard clearly.
As she stepped forward, a dark shadow slowly appeared on her left. The black shadow moved slowly and walked towards Mao Leyan's position, and the black shadow gradually became clear, and it turned out to be a hunchbacked old lady. She spread her hands and groped her way slowly, the road was not so dark, there was a faint light, at least she could make out the way.
She's blind!
Mao Leyan was slightly stunned, and looked at Xiao Er beside her, she was already in tears, "Grandma!" She exclaimed, separated by yin and yang, her grandmother naturally couldn't hear it, but it seemed that she could feel something, she stopped, listened attentively, and shouted hoarsely: "Two? She was answered by the whirring of the wind.
Mao Leyan noticed that she was dressed very thinly, her old and tattered clothes wrapped around her old body, and her feet were wearing a pair of torn coarse cloth shoes, revealing black toes.
"Two?" She seemed to really sense that Xiao Er was ambushing, and suddenly screamed bitterly.
Mao Leyan stretched out his hand and wrote a talisman on Xiao Er's forehead, Xiao Er's thin figure appeared in the dark night, she bowed to Mao Leyan, and hurriedly stepped forward and cried: "Grandma, it's me!" ”
Her voice was so poignant, especially harsh in the night. The old man was stunned, his body shook slightly, and then he stretched out his hands and groped around, shouting, "Child, child, where are you?" Where are you? ”
Xiao Er just wanted to reach out and touch her, but Mao Leyan warned: "If you don't want to hurt her, don't approach her." "Yin people have heavy yin qi, and the old man is not in good health, once the yin qi is transmitted to the old man, the old man may not be able to bear it.
Xiao Er also knew this truth, and hurriedly stopped and said, "Grandma, Xiao Er is in front of you, you stand still and don't move, otherwise Xiao Er will leave." ”
The old man hurriedly stood still, but his hands couldn't help but continue to grope for a while, and tears flowed from his cloudy eyes, crisscrossing in the wrinkles like mountains and rivers.
Mao Leyan heard a sound in the house, and then the faint candlelight reflected from the window, babbling, the wooden door was opened, and a man with five big and three thick cursed in his mouth and walked out: "Old thing, don't sleep here at night and call the soul?" Going to kill you? ”
He was holding a kerosene lamp in his hand, sleepy-eyed, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Er standing in the courtyard, and he was immediately frightened, and asked in horror: "You...... Are you a human or a ghost? ”
Xiao Er stepped back, her fear was more obvious than her father's horror. In her cognition, the most terrifying person in this world is her own father, whenever he is angry, it is when she suffers.
Therefore, when she saw him come out, she still subconsciously shrank back.
Mao Leyan turned his head sideways and asked, "Is he your father?" ”
Xiao Er nodded timidly, "Yes!" ”
A few figures came out of the house one after another, Mao Leyan saw that it was a woman and a few children, the children were still young, Mao Leyan didn't want to frighten them, so he said to the woman: "Take the child back!" ”
The woman didn't see it clearly, and when her eyes touched Xiao Er, she was suddenly frightened and her legs weakened, and she hurriedly hugged the children back to the house and closed the door with a bang.
Xiao Er's father was so bold that he calmed down after a while, and said angrily: "Slut, what are you doing when you come back?" ”
Mao Leyan sneered: "I'm a ghost from the underworld, Guo Xiaoer said that you killed her, I'll investigate whether it's true, please go back to the underworld with me!" ”
"What the hell? Who are you fooling? He saw that Mao Leyan had a shadow, knowing that she was a human, he was not afraid, his face shook a few times, and he snorted, "Want to scare Lao Tzu?" It's not that easy, hurry up and take that little ghost away, or I'll ask the mage to take her tomorrow! ”
When the old lady heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground with a puff, and bowed down to her son: "Don't, it's so big, she's your flesh and blood, don't ask the mage to take her!" ”
The man kicked the old man away and said angrily: "Get out, you dead old ghost, don't touch me, tomorrow Lao Tzu will do business, are you going to kill me?" You know that your life will be punished, why don't you die in a hurry and stay here to bring disaster to your descendants? The damned don't die, the damned ones die with a few sticks, who is to blame for their own lives? ”
Xiao Er shouted miserably: "Grandma! She didn't dare to rush up to pick up the old man who was rolling on the ground, so she rushed to the man with a wow, and said angrily: "I'll kill you!" Her face was grim, and she looked a little terrifying, but unfortunately she didn't get close to the man, and the kerosene lamp in the man's hand was thrown out, which happened to be splashed on Xiao Er's body, Xiao Er's body suddenly burned, and the man laughed when he saw it, "Okay, I still have no ability at all when I die!" ”
Mao Leyan was extremely angry, stretched out her hand to sweep away the fire on Xiao Er's body, her figure flashed quickly, and she pinched the man's neck with both hands, and said coldly: "Do you want to die?" Dare to be so presumptuous in front of me? ”
Her hands were very heavy, and the man only felt that he couldn't breathe all of a sudden, and his fleshy face began to distort, and he struggled hard, and his nose was whirring, and he couldn't see it.
The wooden door was opened again, and the woman rushed over with a chair in her hand and hit Mao Leyan, Mao Leyan let go of the man's neck with one hand, grabbed his hair with the other, and kicked the woman in the stomach with one leg.
The woman rolled on the ground with her stomach in her arms, wailing as she went. The man struggled in pain, and kept cursing in his mouth: "Slut, let me go, or I'll kill you!" This is probably his mantra, who will be killed at every turn. Mao Leyan sneered: "Hasn't she been beaten to death by you?" How many more times do you want to beat her to death? ”
Mao Leyan's strength increased, and he actually tore off a lock of hair from his head, and the man didn't care about the blood flowing, grabbed a handful of wood on the ground and rushed towards Mao Leyan.
Mao Leyan kicked up a rotten wood on the ground and flew towards his lower body, the man screamed miserably, dropped the wood to cover his lower body, and roared in pain.
Mao Leyan has always been very heavy, especially in the face of such a wicked person, he will not show mercy to his subordinates, and this man will probably not be humane in the future.
Mao Leyan helped the old man up, word by word, and said in a clear voice: "Old man, listen, your son is full of evil, and the underworld should have taken him away, but tonight he was left alive because he still had to provide for you, and the king of Hades remembered that you had no fault in your life, and accumulated virtue and did good, and he couldn't bear to let you be old and helpless, so he left your son alive for the time being." The day you will grow old in a hundred years, that is, the day of your son's retribution. If you don't die, he can live in this world in peace. ”
The old man grabbed Mao Leyan's hand majestically and said, "Thank you Lord Yama for your love, my poor granddaughter ......"
"Don't worry, she has her own place to go!" Mao Leyan comforted.
The old man put his mind at ease and thanked Mao Leyan again.
Mao Leyan walked up to the man, grabbed his hair, slapped him twice in the face, and said angrily: "You don't die today, thanks to your mother, listen, your mother and son will die in the future, she is good, you are good, if she is not good, you should also die." ”
The man now knew that he was afraid, and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, follow the orders of Lord Onicha!" ”
Mao Leyan got up and said lightly: "Since Lord Yan ordered Ben to come over, I can't mention your soul, so replace it with a pig in your pigsty!" ”
The man was originally a butcher, and when he heard what Mao Leyan said, he hurriedly went into the kitchen to get a knife, killed a pig and let Mao Leyan take it, so as to replace his life.
Seeing Mao Leyan carrying the pig, holding the butcher's knife and a large bag of sauce in his hand, and flying away from his own wall lightly, he finally believed what Mao Leyan said.
Back at the broken temple, Mao Leyan began to scrub and scrub. Ignoring the adoring eyes of the souls, nothing was more important to her than filling her belly, and she swore that even if she left the palace, she would have a lot of fish and meat.
With a fresh wooden branch in his mouth, he occasionally took it off to breathe a sigh of relief, and he was addicted to smoking.
The scholar looked at her curiously, "What are you doing?" Is this delicious? ”
"It's not delicious, I want to smoke!" Mao Leyan found a small stream behind the ruined temple, and now she is diligently cleaning the cut pork, cutting the pork one by one, and using it to dry and eat bacon. She didn't know how long she would stay in this dilapidated temple, in short, the food could not be cut off.
"Then I'll go steal a cigarette pouch from you!" The scholar pleases the authentic.
"Got a cigarette pouch?" Mao Leyan threw away the branches, grabbed the scholar with one hand and asked.
"Yes!" The scholar paused for a moment and replied timidly.
"Go!" Mao Leyan's hand fell with a knife, and the ribs were cut into small pieces under her knife technique.
As soon as the sky was bright, Mao Leyan feasted and sat in front of the door of the broken temple smoking a bamboo hookah. The so-called bamboo hookah is a bamboo tube about half a meter long, which has a knot inside, filled with water, and then chiseled a small hole in the middle, inserted obliquely with a small bamboo, put tobacco at the mouth of the small bamboo, ignited, and then sucked hard on the big bamboo tube, one bite at a time, really enjoyable.
Grunt, one bite. Grunt, another bite.
Mao Leyan lazily put the cigarette holder on the side, stood up and watched a touch of orange jump out of the sky, and all the surrounding clouds were painted with a thick orange, and a touch of brightness erupted on the edge of the clouds. How long has it been since I've seen a sunrise? In modern times, it is sometimes even at sunrise that we begin to fall out of bed and go to sleep. I see a lot of sunsets, but I never calm down to enjoy them. I remember that in modern times, when she was lying in the emergency room, a sentence flashed in her mind, if she had the opportunity, she really wanted to see the sunrise and sunset. At that time, I realized that it turned out that we didn't know when we would never see the sunrise and sunset again.
