"That year, there was a famine everywhere, and many people died, but the harvest in Lotus Leaf Village was very good, and the food of each family was basically enough to make ends meet, and even the lotus root in the lotus pond was much more than in previous years. The people outside looked red-eyed, and a few people secretly came to Lotus Leaf Village to steal lotus root on Chinese New Year's Eve. But the next day they were found dead in the lotus pond, and outsiders said that the lotus pond in Lotus Village was protected by the river god, and no one dared to steal the lotus root after the fight. ”

"Every family can't eat enough lotus roots, and Widow Jiang and my mother are godsisters, so they plan to go to the town to sell some lotus roots, and keep them to make new clothes for the children during the Chinese New Year. When the ginger widow left. Tie the sugar baby to his yard, and tell him not to shout loudly when he leaves, lest people from outside run in and kill him. Sugar baby nodded and said okay, he has always been so well-behaved. ”

"But after Widow Jiang and my mother left, a few naughty children in the village somehow tried to provoke the sugar baby, and they climbed up the wall and threw stones at the sugar baby. scolded him for being a little monster, Sugar Baby said that he was not a monster, he was a human, the children laughed and continued to throw stones at him, but at this time, the villagers in the village passed by Sugar Baby's house, he scolded loudly, several children were startled, and a child fell from the wall to Sugar Baby's house. ”

"Sugar Baby was chained to a pomegranate tree, and he saw a child fall down. I wanted to help him up, but the boy was very scared, thinking that the sugar baby was going to eat him, so he grabbed a branch from behind and poked it into the sugar baby's eye. ”

By the time the villagers arrived, the child was already dead, and there was a child hiding in the corner of the wall shivering, and the chain around the sugar baby's neck was broken, and the villagers beat the sugar baby for a while, and then poked the iron hook into his mouth and dragged it all the way to the head of the village. He was tied to a stake and burned him alive. "Coming to China.

"Sugar Baby's mother disappeared after returning from the town, she saw that the iron chain on the pomegranate tree was broken, and there were traces of blood and struggle next to it, and he followed the traces of blood until he found the head of the village, and saw the charred sugar baby on the town wind pile."

"A lot of people were there at the time, said Sugar Baby's mother. You will all be punished, everyone is afraid, for fear that the kappa will retaliate, so they discussed simply beating the sugar baby and his mother to death, but at this time, suddenly there was a whining cry in the lotus pond, the cry was a little like the cry of a buffalo, but it was much louder than the sound of the buffalo, and the whole village could hear it, and after a while, there was a commotion in the pond, and a monster came out, his mouth was long, and his body was full of hair, and the sugar baby was almost identical, and some old people recognized this thing as the kappa. ”

The kappa spat out and asked the villagers to let go of the sugar baby, he was willing to apologize with death, the kappa's body was as small as a child, and he was standing by the pond, as long as he jumped into the pond, no one could catch him, if he escaped, he would definitely retaliate endlessly, everyone looked at the village chief, the village chief nodded in agreement, and said that as long as you die, you will not kill the sugar baby. So the contract crashed into the town wind pile and committed suicide, blood bursting everywhere, and the charred body of the sugar baby made a snorting sound and emitted black smoke. After that, the sugar baby and his mother cried day and night, and it didn't take long for her to cry and become blind. ”

I listened to Po preach about this, and I wondered, "Since they all died, what happened later?" ”

Bu Po said: "The sugar baby died, the kappa also died, everyone thought it would be fine, but my mother told me that at night everyone will die, no matter where they run can not run away, I asked him why, my mother said, after a person dies, the soul can stay in the world for three days, the kappa committed suicide in addition to saving the sugar baby, the most wanted to save the sugar baby, the kappa is a spirit of life, after death will produce a spirit, can make the soul of the sugar baby stay in the world forever." If the body is burned to ashes after death, the soul must go to the underworld, and the end of not going to the underworld is that the soul is scattered, and the sugar baby's wish before death is not fulfilled, and the kappa wants to help him make a wish. ”

"That night, there were screams everywhere in the village, my mother took the sugar baby and his mother to the house to save our family from death, the next day when our family came out again, the village was full of blood, and overnight, all the lotus leaves in the lotus leaf village withered, and there was a layer of dead fish floating on the river. After that, the spirit of the sugar baby came to my mother and asked my mother to fish out the body of the kappa from the river, cut off the head of the kappa and bury it under the village temple behind the village, maybe one day it will be used. ”

"Sugar baby hasn't been back since?" I asked.

Bu Po shook her head and said: "I don't know if I haven't come back, twenty years ago, the sugar baby's mother died, and the day before she died, she came to me and said that she dreamed of the sugar baby and said that she missed her." ”

After that, I chatted with Bu Po for a while, and it was already after one o'clock in the afternoon, and this small village was surrounded by small hills, and it was difficult to stop the car, and if I didn't hurry up, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to go back before dark.

Bu Po took me to the village temple in their village, which used to be dedicated to the river god, and no one has come to worship since the disaster in Lotus Leaf Village.

I removed the altar under the shrine through the guidance of Bu Po, and there was a layer of bluestone bricks under the altar, and I opened the bluestone bricks, and there was a layer of yellow mud underneath, and after digging a few shovels, a piece of red wooden cover was revealed.

He said that his mother sprinkled water made from wild sheep's horns on the head of the kappa, and then put it in a red wooden box, for fear of being discovered by other evil spirits or the souls of people after death.

There are no runes or Taoist inscriptions on the surface of this red wooden box, but the breath of the kappa's head inside can not be emitted at all, and the master has never told me that the horns of wild sheep have this effect.

When I dug up the red wooden box, I wanted to open it and look at it, but Bu Po stopped me and said, "The child is next to me." ”

I looked at the child standing at the door dragging his nose, he was also staring at my hand with curiosity, I wrapped the red wooden box in the yellow towel cloth that Bu Po prepared for me, touched the little boy's head, and said goodbye to them and left the lotus leaf village.

After returning to school, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, I took a shower in the dormitory and then prepared to go to the cafeteria to have some food, on the way An Xiaowu saw me passing by him in a hurry and shouted: "Wang Yang, you carry a coffin around at night, I'm afraid that I won't be able to hit the ghost!" ”

I responded with a disdainful gesture to him, and he smiled and made a disdainful gesture at me, yelling for me to come back in the evening and drink with them.

After leaving school, I went to the small hotel at the entrance of the school to find Liu Xiangfei, Liu Xiangfei saw me and asked me why my mobile phone always couldn't get through, he thought something had happened to me, and I found that the mobile phone had already run out of battery.

I said, "I'll go with you tomorrow to find a new house, it's too wicked to live in." ”

After saying goodbye to him, he looked at the red wooden box I was carrying behind me with strange eyes, and then stopped me, and I asked him what was wrong.

Liu Xiangfei wanted to speak and stopped, and changed his words and said: "It's nothing, you pay attention to safety." ”

I turned around and walked quickly to the old Beiyuan community, and saw that the old man was slowly walking towards me last night, and the old man saw me from a distance, turned around and walked back, I caught up with him and said, "Uncle, meet again." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the old man knelt down, and said with a broken face: "Ancestor, when I was young, I stole three catties and five taels of grain in the production team, and I really haven't done anything bad next to me. ”

I jumped into the old Beiyuan community, and came to the basement of Unit 3 of Building 76 last night, and there were a few young people in the basement at this time to rent a house in it, even if it was just haunted yesterday, the landlord also informed these young people in friendship, but in order to make the house cheap, there are still many people living here, which may be the helplessness of the young people in Beipiao.

I didn't find the figure of the little Yama in the basement, and I didn't even feel his ghostly energy, I wondered in my heart, and walked out of the basement, there was still yin qi over the top, and the little Yama must still be here.

I looked at the bright moon above my head, climbed along the floor to the roof, opened my yin and yang eyes and looked around, strangely, there was still no trace of the little Hades.

Suddenly, I felt a chill down my spine, and a child's voice came: "Why don't you have a dark light?" ”

The moment I turned around, he stretched out his palm, and I was lifted directly into the air by his qi from the upstairs and fell down, I knew that he was the little Hades, but he had a new face at this time.
