CHAPTER XIII
There are only two situations for the cow to kneel, one is to repay the favor, and the other is to intercede.
Seeing the old cow suddenly kneeling, I was a little confused, could it be that this cow was going to be slaughtered?
But I didn't find a butcher next to the cow for a long time, and besides, this big banyan tree is used to pray, who would tie a cow to be slaughtered here, not to find bad luck.
"This cow is not pleading, it is being pressed by a ghost!" Ma Liang's voice was a little low.
Crushed by a ghost?
I looked at the cow with wide eyes, and I didn't notice anything unusual next to it.
"Don't look at it, you can't see it without opening your eyes, unless that dirty thing wants you to see." Ma Liang said softly.
I asked him if he could drive it for me and show me what it was on the cow.
He said yes.
After saying that, he took out two copper coins from his pocket.
These two copper coins look very quaint, and the handwriting on them is no longer legible, and they look a little old.
The two copper coins are tied by a red rope and look like glasses.
"Come, close your eyes!" Ma Liang said and held the copper coin on my head, and then read something softly, but I didn't hear it clearly when I read it too fast.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt a chill on my eyelids, probably because he hung the copper coin on my head like glasses.
"You can see the dirt from the hole in the coin! But you have to be mentally prepared. Ma Liang reminded.
I answered, and then opened my eyes and looked at the old cow.
The next glance scared me enough.
Five or six little children, about seven or eight years old, rode on the old cow's body, their faces were pale and white, and they wore dead men's makeup, and their horns were braided, and they wore red belly pockets, and they were jumping and jumping on the old man.
When they saw me look over, they all turned their heads to look at me and grinned at me.
My body shuddered, and I quickly took the two copper coins down. When I opened my eyes again and looked at the old cow, I couldn't see the little boys anymore.
"Are you alright?" Seeing that my face was ugly, Ma Liang hurriedly recited the meditation mantra.
I shook my head and said it was okay, but I was suddenly scared. Then returned the copper coin in his hand to Ma Liang.
"If you take this thing, maybe it will be useful!" Ma Liang didn't take it, "But use it less in the future, if you look too dirty, you will lose your life." ”
I hummed, put the two coins in my pocket, and asked him if he could see anything.
Ma Liang shook his head and said no, there are also levels of dirty things, this thing can only see ordinary spirits, if it is more advanced, such as a powerful ghost, you can't see it.
I asked him if he could see Qin Liangying.
He looked at me with idiotic eyes, and said don't even think about it, the thing you provoked is more powerful than the ghost, and the ghost sees her as if she sees an ancestor, and she doesn't dare to put a fart.
I shrunk my neck, feeling a little sad in my heart, it was enough for me to be entangled by such a powerful thing.
It's not a few days before the 30th now, and there is still a week left after counting the next day, which is the day I get married to Qin Liangying.
I don't know if I'll be alive or not.
I shook my head and stopped thinking about it.
……
I had already inquired with the driver who sent us to Laipizhou's house, and it was in the middle of the village, and there was a white cloth hanging in front of the house.
I hadn't walked for a few minutes when I saw a house wrapped in a white cloth outside the door.
To be precise, a coffin without a lid is placed in front of the house.
If you guess correctly, this should be Lai Pizhou's home, then this coffin......
"What a grudge!" Before he reached Lai Pi Zhou's house, Ma Liang said with a solemn expression.
I glared at him and said When are you still angry, didn't you see Lao Zhou's body being thrown outside the door.
Before I could get close to the coffin, I could smell a large stench of rotting corpses, which almost didn't smoke my tears out, and made me dizzy. It's summer, and I don't know if the coffin has been sitting for a few days, and the corpse has stinked to the point that it is difficult to approach under the sun.
I endured the stench, leaned over to the coffin and looked down, but when I saw the corpse, I couldn't hold back anymore, I covered my mouth and ran to the side and vomited.
It was true that the corpse belonged to Lai Pizhou, but his face was completely decomposed.
Because of the soaking in water, the corpse was particularly swollen, and the face could not be seen at all, like a pig's head.
A large number of flies buzzed around the corpse, and a few maggots burrowed around the corpse.
I couldn't help but feel the contents of my stomach pouch rushing up.
The buzzing of flies confused my hearing, and I couldn't calm down.
What was in front of me was beyond my comprehension, and I couldn't relate what I saw to Lai Pi Zhou in my life.
It's not a corpse at all, it's a pile of rotten meat.
Ma Liang didn't vomit, but his face was not very good, pale and pale.
It took me a long time to vomit before I came back to my senses, and my body was still a little weak.
I don't understand why Lai Pizhou's body was left outside the door to the sun, and there was not even a little tribute around, not even the lid of the coffin was covered, and the body was left to rot and stink in the sun.
What about his family?
"Are you better?" A somewhat familiar voice rang in my ears and patted me on the back.
I turned my head to look and saw that it was the big brother of the driver who had sent us before.
I straightened up and took a few deep breaths before asking him what the hell was going on and why the body was just sitting outside the door.
"Hey, it's not because of this time." The driver's eldest brother sighed and asked me to go to his house with Ma Liang and him, and he slowly told us that the smell was too bad.
On the way to the driver's eldest brother's house, call Zhou Cheng, and he asked us to call him Brother Zhou.
Brother Zhou's home is not very far from Lai Pi Zhou's home, and it is only a few dozen meters apart.
On the way, he told us what had happened after Ripizhou's death.
Brother Zhou said that he lied to us before, but in fact, it was not that the coffin could not be lifted, but that no one dared to lift it.
On the night of Rai Pi Zhou's death, something happened in the stockade.
The first one to have an accident was Lai Pizhou's daughter-in-law, Zhang Xiaohua.
According to the rules of the village, if someone in the family dies unexpectedly, the family must keep a watch at the place where the person died, which means to appease the deceased.
Because those who die unexpectedly belong to the injured ghosts, it will endanger the living people in the village.
Therefore, it is necessary for relatives to comfort the deceased with affection and calm his grievances.
When Zhang Xiaohua was keeping a vigil by the river, there were more than a dozen young men guarding on the side.
I was a little puzzled when I heard this, and some mockingly said that Zhang Xiaohua's charm was too great, she did something sorry for Lao Zhou, killed people, was afraid, and called so many lovers to accompany her.
Brother Zhou didn't speak, but Ma Liang explained: "If I'm not mistaken, these young people are all virgins, and they want to borrow their yang energy to suppress the unjust souls, right?" ”
"Hmm!" Brother Zhou nodded and said that this was indeed the case. Generally, if there are people who have died unjustly in the village, they will be accompanied by more than a dozen boys, on the one hand, there are many people who are not so afraid, and on the other hand, it is used to suppress resentment, after all, the boys are full of yang.
Later, when the wake reached two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhang Xiaohua went to the grass on the side to relieve herself.
At first, the group of young men didn't care, but then they suddenly heard a sound of talking, as if Zhang Xiaohua was talking to someone.
The group of young men were a little curious, who was Zhang Xiaohua talking to in the middle of the night.
As a result, in less than half a minute, Zhang Xiaohua was heard screaming.
When the group of young men went over to look, they found that Zhang Xiaohua was dead, and she died a miserable death.
All the clothes on her body were taken off, a big hole was opened in her stomach, the hidden parts of her lower body were torn alive, her body was covered with scratches, her eyes were wide, and her face was full of horror, as if she had seen something terrible.
The next day, the police came, and after checking for a long time, they said it was a suicide.
How could the people in the stockade believe this result, whoever committed suicide would scratch his body all over his body and dig a big hole in his stomach.
But the forensic dissection showed that the result of various examinations was suicide, and the scratches on the wrapped body and the wounds on the stomach were all scratched out by Zhang Xiaohua herself.
In the end, the case was also closed.
The second person who had an accident was Zhang Xiaohua's lover, and his death was exactly the same as Zhang Xiaohua's.
What's even more incredible is that after Lai Pizhou's death, he was afraid that he ran to Guangdong that day.
As a result, on the night of Zhang Xiaohua's death, he inexplicably appeared by the river where Lai Pizhou died, kneeling down to the river, looking like he was kowtowing.
Two people died within two days, all of whom had something to do with Lai Pi Zhou, which made everyone in the village panic, saying that Lai Pi Zhou's unjust soul had come back to take revenge.
Originally, everyone thought that after Zhang Xiaohua and her mistress died, they would be fine.
As a result, on the third day, Zhang Xiaohua's mother also died, and the death was exactly the same as the previous two people, with scratches all over her body, her stomach and lower body were broken, and her face was full of horror.
At this time, Zhang Xiaohua's family was all panicked, and there were rumors in the village that Lai Pizhou was going to kill Zhang Xiaohua's family.
"Three people died in a row? So what did the police say? What does this have to do with Lao Zhou's coffin exposed to the sun? I was speechless in surprise, I thought it was just Lai Pi Zhou who died, but I didn't expect that there were three more dead, so I couldn't help but ask three questions in a row.
"The police came, but there were no clues at all, so it could only be characterized as a serial murder case, and the investigation had no effect for two days!" Brother Zhou sighed weakly, his face was a little pale, and he seemed to be frightened.
"And then?"
Later, Zhang Xiaohua's family really had no choice, so they invited a Taoist priest to do it. The Taoist priest said that Master Zhou's grievances were too heavy and he wanted to kill Zhang Xiaohua's family, so he asked Master Zhou's body to be roasted under the sun, saying that it was used to dry Master Zhou's grievances with the sun, so the corpse was put for two days and no one carried it away, and the Taoist priest said that it would take seven days and forty-nine days to do it, so now even if the corpse stinks and does not pass, this happened, the village is deserted, hey, I want to move away! ”
"It's just a fart!!"
When Ma Liang heard this, he gritted his teeth angrily, "Which Taoist priest came up with the idea, he doesn't know if this will not only not calm the grievances of the undead, but will make the grievances of the undead soar?" It's going to happen! ”
"Little brother, what do you mean by that?"
"I mean, not only will Zhang Xiaohua's family be killed, but I'm afraid that the entire village will be killed!" When Ma Liang said this, he suddenly remembered something, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked Brother Zhou.
"When did Lao Zhou die?"
"If you count it, today is the sixth day!"
Day six?
My heart trembled, that is to say that Lai Pi Zhou died on the day I said goodbye?
"Tomorrow is the first seven?" Ma Liang gasped, grabbed my arm and hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go immediately, it's too late if we don't leave!" ”
I was stunned and said it wasn't that serious.
"Not serious? Hehe......" Ma Liang sneered, and was about to speak, but the next second, his face suddenly turned pale, his eyes looked in the direction in front of him in a daze, and muttered to himself, "I can't leave, I can't leave......"
I turned my head to look in the direction of his gaze, and my heart shuddered......
