055 The face in the well
Originally, Guanghua Temple is still relatively intact, the main hall, the side hall and the statues of the gods inside are readily available, and there are three monks with one teacher, two apprentices.
One day, a group of Red Guards, more than 20 men and women, rushed in, shouting slogans: Sweep away all cows, ghosts and snakes! Go to war against the old world! Noisy and shouting that they want to break the four olds, the old monk and his apprentices knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and were beaten and driven out of the monastery.
Then everyone shouted slogans, smashed everything in the hall, and finally only the Buddha statues in the Daxiong Treasure Hall and the side hall remained, especially the several protector gods in the side hall had hideous faces, so that the female students did not dare to step forward, and the revolutionary generals led by Chen Qimai swore to sweep these cows, ghosts, snakes and gods into the garbage heap of history, picked up shovels and axes, put down these protectors, smashed the mud tires to pieces, let the female students see, see what these protectors are terrible, they are all made of mud, and the female generals then smashed again, and then rushed into the Daxiong Treasure Palace.
The statue of the god in the Daxiong Hall is tall and solemn, and the students look up and don't know how to start.
A girl who had just seen the destruction of the Dharma Protector had a flash of inspiration and proposed to tie the neck of the Buddha with a rope and knock it down.
The team leader, Mr. Chen, praised the clever plan and volunteered to climb onto the Big Buddha and tie a rope around its neck.
Then everyone shouted the trumpet like a tug-of-war, and after a few strokes, the Buddha finally collapsed, and the whole hall trembled, kicking up thousands of feet of dust, and the flying clods of earth knocked down several young generals.
The dust cleared, everyone was dumbfounded, and there were white bones scattered on the ground!
The girls were squeaky and screaming, and the boys were also trembling, didn't they say that they were good mud tires, where did they get so many white bones?
Chen Qimai pulled out a little monk who didn't run from the corner and asked him what was going on?
The little monk stammered and confessed that the white bones were the bones of the monks who had attained the Tao in the temple for generations, and they were placed in the Buddha statue after their death to accept the worship of future generations.
When Chen Qimai and the other young generals heard this, they were furious and smashed the statues and white bones to pieces.
At this time, someone in the yard suddenly cried wolf and shouted: Something is wrong, everyone come out and see, there is something in the well!
Chen Qimai led the people to the wellhead to lie down and take a look, the water surface was actually gurgling and splashing, as if something was going to be drilled out!
The attentive girl said, did our people fall in?
The number of people was immediately counted, including a few injured, and there were quite a few people.
What's under that well water?! If you look for the little monk again, you'll have already run away.
While everyone was talking, someone whispered, "Look, there's a human face coming out of the well!"
Everyone was lying on the edge of the well and looking down, and sure enough, it was a man's face, about 30 years old, still staring.
At the same time, everyone smelled an indescribable fragrance, but if you smell it carefully, it is not right, it is a strange smell.
Some people say, is there a ghost in the well?!
Several of the girls stepped aside in fright.
Chen Qimai stood on the edge of the well and rebuked: "There are no ghosts in the world at all, we are all materialists, go find a rope, I will go down to prove it to everyone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slipped on his right foot, lost his balance, and fell into the well with a scream.
He reflexively stretched out his arms and grabbed the stone platform, and the other boys quickly grabbed his arm and wanted to pull him up, but they suddenly felt that Chen Qimai weighed a thousand pounds, and he couldn't pull it up at all, but fell a little bit.
Chen Qimai felt as if a group of people were pulling him down, this force was very evil, he was scared, crying and shouting: "Don't pull me, hurry, save me! I don't want to die......"
The boys who grabbed him were a little confused, and they didn't understand what he meant, so they could only use their strength to keep him from falling.
A string of splashes suddenly rose from the bottom of the well, and then there was a strange force, and the boys felt that they were sinking down violently, and they were so shocked that they hurriedly got rid of their hands, and if they didn't let go, they had to fall down together.
Chen Qimai screamed and fell, and then plopped, his cry was drowned out by the well water.
Later, the villagers helped salvage Chen Qimai, who had already drowned.
The old man said, the one who died surnamed Chen, that is, there was a mole on his chin, broken eyebrows, and after the accident, this well was sealed, I didn't expect you to dream about it, it's really strange!
I said that he died unwillingly, and scared me in his dreams.
The old man pointed to the direction of the back mountain, and said that he was buried in the back mountain, since he gave you a dream, he should burn some paper money for him before returning to Beijing tomorrow.
I nodded.
The old man didn't mean to leave, I looked at my phone, it was almost 11 o'clock, and I would miss the time if I didn't go to the back mountain.
The old man sighed, saying that the Red Guards surnamed Chen also deserved to be fate, the villagers said that it was the punishment of the gods, and some people said that it was the water ghost ten years ago who hooked him away, and then chatted about the temple, saying that Guanghua Temple has successively done nursing homes, chicken farms, cadre training classes, party schools or something, all of which are old yellow calendars.
Maybe he is alone on weekdays, and no one accompanies him to chat, so he can't hold it when he opens the chatterbox.
I pretended to be sleepy and yawned, but the old man realized that he had talked too much, and got up and went back.
As soon as the old man left, I changed into outdoor clothes for hiking, picked up my travel bag, took a paper figure, sneaked out, climbed out through the gap in the backyard wall, and then turned on the flashlight and walked one foot deeper and one foot shallow towards the back mountain.
After passing through a large persimmon orchard, half an hour later, I climbed up the Chou'er Ridge, and then looked for a big stone that Platoon Leader Wang said, and after looking for a long time, I finally found it.
Sure enough, on the hillside on the side of the large rock, a new grave was found.
As soon as I turned around, another grave appeared in the flashlight, which was overgrown with wild grass, remembering the old man's words, since I gave me a dream, I should worship and burn some paper money, but I didn't have time to prepare, so I had to say a few words silently to the grave surnamed Chen.
Then he came to the new grave again, although it is said that the deceased was a child, but the deceased is the greatest, after all, to move people's graves, and it is on such a special day.
I knelt down in front of the grave respectfully and prayed silently: "Little brother, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to disturb your purity today, please forgive me, don't worry, I'll give you back the seal, please go back, I'll come back another day to send you a lot of paper money, I'm offended." ”
After chattering, I looked at the time, there was still more than a quarter of an hour to go until 12 o'clock, and I could not delay any longer, so I took out the sapper shovel from my backpack and began to dig the grave.
Soon touched the coffin, I slowed down and slowly cleared out the soil, fortunately, the child's coffin is not very big, and the material is thin, so it is not particularly heavy, I first moved the small coffin out of the pit, and then pushed the other end with my shoulder, and finally got the coffin on top and opened the passage of the tomb of the chief of the king platoon below.
The top layer of soil is very thin, and two or three shovels touch the coffin, and this layer of soil is cleared out, revealing the coffin lid.
In a few decades, the coffin has rotted very badly, fortunately it is buried on the sunny side, which is relatively dry, otherwise it would have rotted into a pile of broken wood residue.
I didn't care too much, panting and getting a crowbar, I didn't have much effort to pry open the lid of the coffin of Platoon Leader Wang, then took out the paper figure, lit it with a lighter, threw it into the coffin, and then put the coffin lid back in place.
Platoon Commander Wang's explanation is in order, I breathe a sigh of relief and look at the time, there is a minute to 12 o'clock.
The rest of the work is simple, just dig another pit and bury the child's coffin, and it will be a happy end.
When I climbed out and glanced at the child's coffin, I gasped, oh my God, how did his coffin lid open?!
I gritted my teeth and walked boldly to the child's coffin, and the flashlight shone inside, and my whole body was cold.
God, where did the body in the little coffin go?!
