Chapter 166

No one wants to be buried on the edge of a cliff. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Only those homeless homeless people, outlaws, who died in the rivers and lakes, were buried here after they died.

The graves are disorganized, and the grass floods the graves, and no one takes care of them.

In the distance, there are people paying respects, and the black ash after the incense table is burned is flying in the air. It adds some eerie atmosphere to this mass grave.

In this cemetery by the cliff, the only decent grave is Jiang Liao's mother's.

Not far away, the thin shallow mound, which looked almost shallow soil, was a real grave.

Because, there is a remnant monument in front of the grave.

Jiang Chong was immersed in the memories of the past, as if he remembered something terrible, and groaned: "This...... This is related to the most famous event in Hengshui in recent decades. ”

"The most famous event! How did I not know?"

Jiang Liao is also a person who runs around the town, but he has never heard of any major events.

"Perhaps...... Maybe it's because this incident is too weird, or everyone has a little guilt in their hearts, so they don't want to mention it. ”

"Oh!" Jiang Liao and Cuihua felt very strange. What kind of thing is weird, and it makes people feel guilty.

"It's been all these years, so it's okay to tell you about it. Jiang Zhong said gloomily.

Speaking of which, the death of Xu Feng's parents is also related to this incident. Jiang glanced at his son again and continued: "In this small tomb, there is an ominous person buried. ”

"Ominous person!" Jiang Liao sighed.

"Yes, ominous!" the father repeated heavily, his mind racing back to more than a decade ago.

"One autumn night more than ten years ago, it was raining heavily. A person came to Hengshui Town. ”

Jiang Chong forgot to look at the vast green cliff opposite, and said slowly: "In Zhabei, Hengshui Town, although the people living in Zhabei are all poor, they have inherited the tradition of helping the needy for generations, and each family has taken out rice and grain to help this homeless person. ”

However, since then, terrible things have happened one after another.

At that time, this person lived in Xu Feng's house, but in less than a month, three people died in the family, and even Xu Feng's parents died of illness one after another.

A family that was originally quite well-off was wiped out like this, and poor Xu Feng, who was only three years old, became an orphan in the town.

In those days, the entire town of Hengshui was shrouded in gloomy clouds, as if every street and alley was moldy, and there was a faint bad smell.

"Now that I think about it, that smell is probably death. Jiang Zhong said.

The old man in the town said that this man was a demon.

Because Dr. Crane personally visited every house, all those who died of illness were invaded by cold and their internal organs were blackened. But I couldn't find any symptoms.

In just two months, more than a dozen people died in Hengshui Town, all of whom had close contact with this ominous person.

This taciturn man in black immediately aroused everyone's speculation. Perhaps, it was this outsider who brought diseases and disasters to Hengshui.

While reporting to his superiors, the town guard erected wooden racks and piled hay according to the instructions of several elders in the town, and wanted to burn this ominous person who had brought about illness.

A wanderer's life, in the eyes of the imperial court, is not as important as appeasing the hearts of the people in the town, so burn it to death.

It was a blue afternoon, and the men, women and children of the whole town gathered at the grocery market in the north of Hengshui Zha.

Even dignitaries and dignitaries who had never come to such a dirty place came to watch in a sedan chair.

The only dilapidated building in the market, cleaned clean, these nobles, sons, sat on high places in high spirits, waiting to watch a punishment.

The ominous man, with a gloomy expression, was covered with all kinds of rags, firmly wrapped around his body, and a dirty black robe was shining on the outside, which looked extremely incongruous. But a pair of eyes were full of soft kindness.

He didn't have any resistance, since he came to Hengshui, he was like a beggar who only knew how to eat and sleep, he didn't speak ill of people, nor did he take the initiative to ask for it, but just passively accepted all kinds of alms.

Four soldiers struggled to put the wooden pole tied to the man on the haystack!

"Burn him!"

I don't know who started in the calm square. Then, wave after wave of shouts immediately resounded in the sky.

"Burn him!"

"Burn this person who brings bad luck to Hengshui!"

"Burn this plague god!"

"Burn this insidious black devil!"

The young town guard, Lord Wu Zongxian and Lord Wu personally ordered, and the torches in the hands of the leader of the soldiers fell on the haystack with their heads turned over.

Smoke followed by fire, raging up.

The people at the scene were emotional, looking at the man in the flames excitedly.

The flames quickly engulfed the black robe, and in the firelight, only a slightly delicate face remained.

There were no cries, begs for mercy, and screams as one might expect, and the man calmly looked at the crowd under the haystack, as if he had won the victory.

The unexpected picture slowly calmed down the passionate shouts of the crowd.

The man seemed to be deliberately waiting for this moment to come.

Silent.

A calm voice came from the boiling fire: "You saved me, and you killed me again." You foolish beings deserve to be damned!"

Everyone present felt a chill to the bone.

This is the first and only sentence that this ominous person said when he came to Hengshui.

The people slowly dispersed in terror, and only a small pile of black ash was left in the haystack that was more than a foot high.

Master Song of Hengshui School felt unkind, so he collected a little black ash and buried it on the cliffside. It's the man's grave.

Jiang Liao heard this story for the first time. I didn't expect that Hengshui, which has developed water and land and abundant products, also has such a dark story.

He was stunned for a moment, then walked up to the stele.

It was a very small stone tablet, only three feet square, and it was inserted diagonally in the earth and stone.

"As for this monument, I don't know who erected it, as if it had always been here, and no one even knew whether it belonged to this tomb or not. Jiang reminded, watching his son walk towards the stone monument.

Jiang Liao used his hand to remove the weeds on the stone tablet. It was found that there was no text on the stele, not even a single symbol, and it was smooth and smooth.

It is unimaginable that after so many years of wind and rain, this stone tablet has no traces of wind and rain erosion except for the floating soil on the surface.

"It's not like a stone from the south, it's so solid!" Jiang Liao said.

"Speaking of wind and rain, in fact, this story is not over. Jiang Zhong said.

"It's not over yet!" Cuihua couldn't think of what would happen next, and said, "Could it be that this person's family has come to Hengshui to seek revenge?"

"Not really. Jiang Zhong said, "The reason why this thing is weird is here." ”

According to the practice of the old year, Hengshui in that season should be high and cloudy, and the water temperature should be moist, that is, there will be rain, and it will be clear in three or two days at most.

However, the man was burned to death the next day. Heavy rain.

Just like the night when that person came to Hengshui, the torrential rain covered the entire Hengshui.

The rain that fell on the first day turned out to be black! The next day, people were terrified. Everyone is looking forward to the rain as soon as it stops.

However, it seems that someone is specifically against the Hengshui people, and this heavy rain shows no signs of stopping.

One rain, a whole month!
