Chapter 214: Night Road Horror
In fact, it can be seen from the word "locust" of the locust tree. On the left is "wood" and on the right is "ghost", so simply put, the locust tree is "the ghost of the tree".
Generally, the life span of the locust tree is relatively long, and some people will compare the hundred-year-old locust tree to the meaning of longevity and health, and also have the implication of ranking in the three publics, which is relatively auspicious.
But more people say that the locust tree is easy to become a sperm, will attract ghosts, bring unclean things, and will have an impact on people's fortunes.
Later, I specifically checked the allusion of "locust tree psychic", but I didn't expect it to be traceable.
There is such a record in the ancient book: In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang You, the squire of the Shangshu Military Department, wrote very good articles, and he also had great political achievements as an official. He believed that the descendants of the Wang family would be a princess, so he planted three locust trees in the yard as a symbol.
Later, his son Wang Dan really became the prime minister, and at that time he was called "Sanhuai Wang", and he opened a feudal Sanhuai Hall. You see, after planting three trees, and the descendants became big officials, the power of this locust tree is really not small! Another allusion is the well-known "Dream of Nanke", which is recorded in the "Biography of Nanke Taishou" written by Li Gongzuo of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that the Guangling people were drunk and fell asleep under the locust tree in the courtyard.
I had a dream, I dreamed that I went to Dahuai Anguo, and became a relative to the princess, and I was Nan Ke Taishou for 20 years, and the official did a very glorious and illustrious job. But later, because of the defeat in the battle, the princess also died, and he was sent home.
Then I woke up and saw my family cleaning the courtyard, the sun had not yet set, and the flask was beside me. He looked around and found that there was an ant hole under the locust tree, and the big Huai Anguo, who was an official in his dream, turned out to be this ant hole.
The southernmost branch of the locust tree is Nanke County, where he is the guard.
It can be seen that the locust tree still has the ability to make people dream, no wonder it should be called a wood ghost. Therefore, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built the Shanglin Garden, the ministers were far away, and each offered different trees, among which the locust tree was listed as a different tree and contributed more than 600 trees, which is not unreasonable.
……
"What do you see again?" I continued to ask anxiously.
"When I saw the black coffin, I was already scared, and I wanted to quickly turn around and leave, who knows...... I heard your voice again. ”
Wang Manyu said and looked at me with puzzled eyes.
I hurriedly waved my hand: "It's not me!" I should have been sleeping. ”
Wang Manyu nodded, looked at the darkness on one side, and continued.
"At that time, I didn't know what was wrong, my body seemed to be suddenly out of control, step by step towards the two black coffins, after getting closer, I found that the coffin board was only half covered, I glanced inside, and I saw a big snake with the thickness of ankles, slowly poking its head out of the coffin, and spitting letters at me."
Hearing this, my heart jumped directly to my throat, and I hurriedly shouted: "Later! ”
Wang Manyu looked straight at the darkness on one side with his eyes, and then shook his head: "Later, I saw you—you!" Just now. ”
I wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Lao Wu behind me whispering.
"Boy, there's no need to get to the bottom of it, this girl has been hit by the snake demon's psychedelic array, anyway, it's okay now."
"Yes!" I turned around and looked behind me, where three ghosts were walking towards the small toll booth house.
didn't want Wang Manyu to see this scene, so he whispered to Lao Wu and Cheng Blind: "Anyway, now I have to send her back, you two go back together, right?" ”
The second half of the sentence was just a polite remark, but I didn't expect the two of them to nod in unison.
Lao Wu sat in the co-pilot, Cheng Blind opened the rear door on the other side, and as soon as the car drove out, Lao Wu on the side said coldly: "Boy! We're probably in trouble. ”
"What do you mean?" At this time, I was already a frightened bird, and when I heard Lao Wu say this, I directly braked and parked the car on the dam.
The car stopped suddenly, and Wang Manyu in the back seat said "ouch" and hit her head in the front seat, but I didn't care about her.
"Boy, you'll understand in a while!"
Since he doesn't want to say, I don't bother to ask you, it's just more than half an hour's drive, and after I drive home, what else do you say.
Thinking so, he grabbed the steering wheel with both hands and drove again.
Because it was night, there were almost no forks in the embankment of the Yellow River, and I had night vision, so I directly raised the speed of the car to more than 12.
After nearly half an hour of driving in one breath, everything went smoothly, and my hanging heart gradually returned to my stomach.
"Old Wu! I didn't expect you to make mistakes in judgment! ”
I couldn't help but laugh at the old Wu who didn't say a word along the way.
Lao Wu smiled coldly again, still staring ahead, without saying a word, and his face was full of seriousness, which aroused my anger even more.
"Old Wu, you are really a shaft! Now that you have entered the city, can there be an accident? ”
Lao Wu glanced at me with a mocking look and asked me sharply, "Boy, how far is the distance from the ferry we left to the city?" ”
I also followed his example and smiled coldly: "About thirty kilometers, that is, sixty miles, half an hour's drive." ”
"How long have you been driving?"
"It's been almost half an hour, right?"
"Then you see, you can see the building now?"
I looked hard through the glass of the car in front of me, and with my current eyesight, I could say that I could see three or four miles away, but as far as the eye could see, there was an endless dam and trees on both sides.
What's going on?
I panicked a little, but then I thought about it, maybe it was because I was driving at night! It feels fast, but it's not as fast as the daytime.
Thinking so, I didn't answer him, but increased the speed of the car and continued to drive forward, thinking that I should soon see the buildings and other buildings, and then see what the old lame man said.
I drove for another ten minutes in one breath, a total of forty minutes, but the car was still driving on the Yellow River Dam, which felt like there was no end.
I was wondering, and suddenly I saw several people standing in the middle of the dam in front of me, an old man and an old lady, and two children, the old man and the old lady were on crutches in their hands, and the two children were holding black balloon toys in their hands, and all four of them were smiling at me.
My first reaction when I saw this scene was first creepy, and then reason told me that this was not normal.
At this time, it was already about two o'clock in the morning, how could there be old people and children in this place where there was no village in front and no store behind!
They should be ghosts!
There were distracting thoughts in his mind, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while, and at this time, Lao Wu on the side yelled: "Don't stop, just hit it!" ”
"Good!"
I gritted my teeth, slammed the accelerator, and slammed straight into the four people.
