Chapter 024: Destroying the Gate
I woke up scared and called out to my mother, and I heard my mother running over and she turned on the light in my room and asked me what was wrong.
I thought about the dream I had just had, and if I had said what I had seen in my dream, my mother would have hugged me and cried again, she didn't want me to see something unclean, and every time I saw something unclean, I would get a serious illness.
I shook my head and said, "Nothing. ”
My mother came over and helped me cover the quilt and sat on the edge of the bed for a while, she knew that I must have had a nightmare, wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, and stayed with me until I fell asleep again.
The next morning, Wangjia Village exploded because the village chief was found dead on the doorbeam of his house.
He hung at the gate in a daze, like a black dog that had been dried by the air, with only skin and bones left, staring at every villager of Wangjia Village who passed by his door.
The first to find the village chief's body was Wang Fugui, who wanted to go to the cornfield to pull weeds before the sun came out in the early morning, and when he rode past the village chief's door, he saw the village chief standing at the door out of the corner of his eye, so he greeted him.
But the village chief did not respond to him, so he turned his head and looked again, this look could scare him to death, even the car turned into the ditch in front of the village chief's house, he was so frightened that he screamed incoherently, many people were awakened by his ghost crying wolf howl, naturally they inevitably scolded him, but when they all saw the village chief hanging straight on the door, both legs were frightened.
The village chief's feet were only two inches off the ground, his head tilted to one side, his two eyes were dull, there were two rows of deep gums on his neck, and there were blood stains on his neck and collar, and when the wind blew, the village chief's body shook slightly, and the door creaked.
Grandpa rushed to the door of the village chief's house, and when he saw the village chief's tragic death, his brows were furrowed, and it was obvious that the grandfather couldn't see what was happening.
"Secretary Wang, how did the village chief die? Look at his blood is drained, is it a vampire? "Wang Laohan and the village chief's family are neighbors, they both live not far from the old well, and the village chief has been sucked dry by something, so he naturally feels that a big disaster is coming.
"Where are the vampires, uneducated, less talking!" The king butcher scolded the old man.
"Hey! How much culture can you have to kill pigs alone, and you were fired for pulling someone's whip before you finished the third grade, how high can you be cultured, then foreign movies are like this, why can't there be vampires?! When Wang Laohan saw that his grandfather was present, he straightened his neck and argued with Butcher Wang.
"Alright, stop arguing." Grandpa opened his mouth to stop them, and then asked, "Why don't you see Wenzhong and Wenyi?" ”
Wen Zhong and Wen Yi are the two sons of the village chief, and now they are nearly thirty years old and still single, the two brothers are usually lazy and lazy, idle, and always flirt with the big girls in the village when they are idle, so they are not less affected by the soles of the village chief's shoes, and the matchmaker in our village has introduced them to them several times The objects are yellow, on the one hand, because of their lazy name, and secondly, because they are from Wangjia Village. So now the two brothers still live in the same big yard as the village chief.
"You can't still sleep, will you?" Someone said.
"When the fuck are you still sleeping, so much movement can't wake them up, is it really a pig?!" Grandpa entered the door of the village chief's house while talking, he shouted a few times to the hall, and saw that no one answered, so he pushed the door in, who knew that after the door was pushed open, he saw four legs hanging in the air, it was the village chief's two sons Wenzhong and Wenyi, but the two fat uncles had been sucked dry of blood, so thin that they almost couldn't see the human appearance.
The villagers of Wangjia Village, who stood at the door and did not dare to come in, let out a frightened cry, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably, grandpa glanced back at everyone, and asked Wang Dahai and the third brother to move the two corpses down and put them together with the corpse of the village chief, and then grandpa walked to the door and broke a few willow branches from a dry willow tree, and braided the willow branches into a bracelet and put it on the wrist of the village chief.
In the past, my grandfather helped the old birthday star in the village to preside over a white event, and when the old birthday star lost his breath, he also broke the willow branch, at that time I asked my grandfather what this meant, but my grandfather did not tell me, and then the master told me that within three days after the death, the hand with the willow is to drive away evil spirits, and the willow with the willow is to attract ghosts, and the willow is the willow tree that is usually seen in the village, and the willow is the crying stick that grows on the grave sprouts and grows.
But one thing to note is that men wear left, women wear right, even if you take the wrong one, it's fine, but you must not wear both arms, this is a rule that has been handed down since ancient times, and it is also a taboo for rural funerals, and no one knows why.
At that time, I ran to the door of the village chief's house, and I happened to see my grandfather braiding wicker into a ring and putting it on the village chief's wrist, and he put on exactly six.
Liu Quan received the call to the police and quickly rushed to the door of the village chief's house, behind him were a few little policemen who had just joined the organization this year, and brought them out to have a good experience, but when they lifted the white cloth and saw the three corpses below, they were so frightened that their legs became weak.
"How did he die?" A young policeman asked timidly.
"On the surface, he hanged himself, but in fact he sucked the blood dry, do we count carrying him down to destroy the scene?" Grandpa asked.
"Count." The policeman subconsciously replied, but he glanced at Liu Quan, and immediately shook his head again and said, "No, no." ”
Grandpa motioned for Liu Quan to carry the body away, but the people of Wangjia Village were not happy, they said with bitter faces: "Secretary Wang, comrade police, you should tell me what's going on, why did the village chief's family die overnight, and look at the corpse, which is still a person, I'm afraid that the three together are less than 80 catties, in case there is really a ghost who specializes in killing people and sucking blood or something, what should the people of our Wangjia Village do?" ”
Liu Quan saw that his grandfather didn't speak, so he said: "Isn't this still investigating, if you know what killed the person, then there is no need to investigate!" ”
A group of people shouted, the village chief's family of three was wiped out, and the way of death was so bizarre, Wang Laohan shouted: "Mrs. Meng said a strange thing to the village chief before she died, she must have killed the village chief." ”
"Wang Laohan, our secretary didn't speak, what are you coaxing?" The butcher couldn't get used to seeing Wang Laohan's startled appearance, and always sneered at him.
"Where did I get the heckling? Mrs. Meng's family of five was hanged, and she said some strange things to the village chief before she died, and now the village chief's family is also hanged, who said that it doesn't matter at all? Wang Laohan explained.
Grandpa took a puff of dry tobacco and said: "Wang Laohan is not unreasonable, the village chief's family was sucked dry by something, but I really haven't seen such a situation, and I can't guess what it is for a while, everyone is careful tonight, don't sleep when the lights are on, I came out at night to find out what is going on, if it is really a ghost, I will go to the back mountain tomorrow to invite Wu Zhenren." ”
Grandpa walked out of the crowd, he picked me up from the crowd and put it on his back, I struggled for a while and said, "Grandpa, I'll go by myself." ”
Grandpa seemed stunned for a moment, looked at me seriously, and then put me on the ground.
When everyone heard Grandpa say this, they were a little relieved, if someone killed the village chief's family, with Grandpa's ability and Liu Quan and the others who stayed behind, they would definitely be able to catch the murderer, if it was done by Mrs. Meng's ghost, then they could only go to the Taiyin Temple in the back mountain to invite Wu Zhenren.
But I know that it was not a villain who killed the village chief's family, nor was it Mrs. Meng's ghost, but Mrs. Meng's husband, Dr. Wang, who had been dead for 20 years.
I don't know if my grandfather knows about it, so I said, "Grandpa, I saw Dr. Wang standing at the door of your house last night, and there is a child. ”
When my grandfather heard my words, he stopped, I looked up, and I saw from the side that the corners of my grandfather's mouth showed a trace of imperceptible curvature, I didn't know why my grandfather was laughing, he asked me, "I don't have a fever anymore, do you?" ”
In the past, every time I saw something unclean, I had a fever the next morning, but today I didn't have anything.
I nodded, and then saw a flash of heat in my grandfather's gaze for a moment, as if he had obtained something he had longed for for a long time.
My heart suddenly remembered what Huzi had told me in a dream that night.
"Yoko, be careful of your grandfather."
