Chapter 225: Mei Xiaodie
I've been on the back of the day thinking about the girl in the flower shirt I saw last night. The most terrifying thing is not actually the woman, but the weird "Rope Flipping Ballad".
Throughout the day, I was also extremely curious about the room in Niu Zhuangshi's house that was locked with a big chain.
For some reason, there was something magical about that room, and it kept pulling me in, making me want to go inside and find out.
At about 7 o'clock in the evening, Aunt Niu sneaked out alone. Only I knew in my heart that this old lady must have gone to the shop to buy burning paper!
Niu Zhuang sat on the kang and filled the kettle. The water in these kettles is made of ginseng and astragalus, and then these potions are cooled and poured into the kettle, which is the source of water for us to enter the mountains.
Because the deep mountains and mountains are extremely cold, drinking some ginseng and astragalus water can replenish qi and blood, make our bodies warmer, and not be frostbitten in the deep mountains.
Pan Donghan was addicted to fighting the landlord, lying on the kang alone, shouting from time to time.
"Grab the landlord! Two kings, four with two ......"
I put on my down jacket and snuck into the courtyard, and I slowly approached the locked room, wandering outside the room from time to time.
This locked room has a glass window on it. It's just that the windows are covered with newspapers, and you can't clearly see the scene inside the house.
I could vaguely see that there seemed to be a gap in the middle of these newspapers pasted in the window.
I pressed my whole face against the window, closed my right eye, stared at my left eye deadly, and desperately peeked through the gap in the newspaper to see what was going on in the room.
I saw that it was an empty room, and there was nothing in the house, no wardrobes, and no valuable medicinal herbs.
There is a urinal on the side of the kang, and a quilt is placed on the kang. The most important thing is that there seems to be a wooden tablet on the edge of the kang, and next to the tablet is the remains of a dead man.
I glared desperately, trying to see the face of the dead man on the portrait.
Just when I was very focused. Suddenly, a huge eyeball appeared in front of me.
The eyeball was lying in the room, and it was also looking out through the gap in the newspaper.
I was startled by the sudden eyeball, and took two steps back, and in a trance, I seemed to see a flower shirt flash through the window.
"Ahh Damn! Ghosts! I screamed.
With my howl, Niu Zhuangshi and Pan Donghan also ran out of the house.
I pointed to the locked room.
"There's a woman in a floral shirt inside! No, it's a ghost, it's definitely a female ghost! "My face turned pale with fright, and my heart was pounding.
At this moment, Aunt Niu, who went out to buy burning paper, had just walked to the gate of the courtyard.
Pan Donghan turned around and saw Aunt Niu's hands full of burning paper, and he was also frightened into a cold sweat in an instant.
"W, what the hell is going on?"
Niu Zhuangshi saw that he couldn't hide it, so he could only stomp his feet hatefully, and then hurriedly explained to us.
"Oops! Misunderstandings, it's all misunderstandings! There are no ghosts, there are no ghosts at all, where are the ghosts! ”
"So, is there really a woman in that room?" Pan Donghan asked.
Aunt Niu said to them with a bitter face.
"It's not a woman in that house. The person in that room is my son Xiaowei! ”
"Xiaowei? How could it be Xiaowei? Pan Donghan was a little surprised.
"I remember that two years ago, didn't you say that Xiaowei was sent to the city for treatment?"
Niu Zhuangshi covered his head with his hands, his expression was extremely painful.
"That's what I lied to you! My Xiaowei is getting sicker and sicker, and I am ashamed, so I lock him in the house! ”
"What the hell is going on?" Pan Donghan was confused by them. The one who was most scared should be me, I thought I had seen a female ghost all night, and I was so frightened and scared. Most of all, I'm afraid of that nursery rhyme!
Niu Zhuangshi invited me and Pan Donghan into the house, and then asked his daughter-in-law to burn paper first.
When we entered the house, Niu Zhuangshi gave us a thorough explanation.
"Man, you know, I have a son, Xiaowei. I have only given birth to Xiaowei and my daughter-in-law in my life! That's my lifeline. ”
Pan Donghan nodded.
"I remember when I first met you, Xiaowei was still a bare-bottomed little doll. But I was not yet 20 at the time, so I wasn't very old.
Later, I only knew that Xiaowei was sick, and you didn't let Xiaowei go out at that time, so I didn't often see him! Later, didn't you say that Xiaowei's condition worsened, and then he was sent to the hospital in the county! ”
"What's the problem?" I sat next to Pan Donghan and asked casually.
Pan Donghan stretched out a finger and nodded his head. I instantly understood, thinking about it, that Niu Xiaowei was a fool!
Niu Zhuang said: "My son was quite good when he was young, he was fine and smart. Later, in winter, he fell into an ice hole, and when he fished it out, he was frozen into a popsicle. He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and finally had a high fever for more than three months.
When the temperature goes down, my son's head won't shine! became a fool. ”
I couldn't help but ask.
"But I heard you talk to Aunt Niu today, who died? Isn't Xiaowei alive and well? Also, Aunt Niu is still in the yard now, who is she burning paper for? ”
Niu Zhuangshi continued to explain while smoking a cigarette.
"This matter also starts with my son's illness! To tell you the truth, someone in my family did die! And it's been three years since he died, yo the one who died! It's my daughter-in-law! ”
"Daughter-in-law?" I'm curious.
"My son has always been stupid and stupid because of his brain, and in a situation like his, he can't marry a daughter-in-law at all.
But there is such a lone seedling under me, I can't let me leave no children and grandchildren. Just three and a half years ago, the man also knew that I had brought people who collected medicinal herbs into the mountains over the years, and I had also collected some medicinal herbs to sell, and I had indeed saved some money over the years!
I used this money to pay a large bride price and get a wife for my son. ”
Niu Zhuangshi said: "As long as you have money this year, you can still marry a daughter-in-law!"
My daughter-in-law is from a remote mountainous area, and there are many poor children in the family, and the girl is not worth much. And my daughter-in-law is not in good health, and she is thin and weak.
It took me a full 200,000 yuan to marry my daughter-in-law home.
But to be honest, my daughter-in-law looks like a flower and jade, and her name is also good, her name is Mei Xiaodie. ”
"Mei Xiaodie!" I murmured slowly,
The colorful butterfly on the plum blossom branch has a really beautiful name!
Niu Zhuangshi took a puff of cigarette after cigarette, sentence after sentence.
