The man probably squatted at the door for more than an hour, smirking all the time, or talking to himself, and then saw that the door had not opened, so he got up and staggered away.

After he left, Bai Wei called us all to the house, and instructed us to take turns to watch the candles in the fifth master's house, and we must not extinguish them, and we must try to think of a way to wake up the fifth master within two days, otherwise we will be completely hopeless.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, after all, they had tried almost all scientific and unscientific methods in the past two months, but the fifth master was still lying there motionless, and he could only use a plastic tube to pour some liquid food along his nostrils every day to barely survive.

I asked, "That's just a madman, as far as scaring you like this?" ”

After listening to my question, Bai Wei shook her head and sighed: "Little Liuzi, there are some things you don't know yet, that's not an ordinary madman......"

At this time, the fourth child also interjected next to him and said: "Yes, little Liuzi, don't look down on him, this madman is very spiritual, and he is especially famous in our village......"

Subsequently, the fourth child told me about this unattractive Li madman.

The fourth said that this Li madman was not crazy, he was also a rich family in Huangjiagouzi back then, and his family had a good life, until one night, Li Luozi, who went out and went home early, bumped into his daughter-in-law with his own eyes, and rolled naked on the kang with an old bachelor in the village, everything changed.

As soon as he saw that something had happened, the bachelor jumped out of the window and ran away with his clothes, leaving Li Maniac and his daughter-in-law to have a big quarrel, and the quarrel was earth-shattering.

The single man who ran away was not a good thing, and after hiding outside for a few days, he also knew that he couldn't stand in Huangjiagouzi, so he sneaked back to Li's house and eloped with Li's crazy daughter-in-law, and he never showed up again for more than 20 years.

When he said this, the fourth child was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and then told me that the pair of dogs and men had swept away all the valuable belongings of the Li family, and when they left, the bachelor also lit a fire in the Li family and locked the door of the Li family from the outside.

That night, it happened that the Li madman went to work in the field and came home late, and there was a sleeping child and a pair of old people paralyzed on the kang left in the house, and then the villagers heard the Li family crying and the child screamed, and quickly ran out to put out the fire, and some people went to the field to call the Li madman back, but at that time the whole house was surrounded by fire.

The fourth child told me that he was about seven or eight years old that year, and the fifth master and his father and son also participated in the firefighting, and finally the fifth master poured a bucket of water on his body, rushed in and took out the three-year-old daughter of the madman, and later he wanted to rush in to save the father and mother of the madman Li who was paralyzed on the kang, but the beams of the house burned down before he could go in, and the whole house collapsed......

When Madman Li ran back, he cried and pulled in the coals all over the ground for a long time, his hands were burned, and when he finally found his parents, the old couple had been burned beyond recognition, and after that, Madman Li's brain was not normal.

At first, he took his daughter to live in a relative's house in turn, but life was not good that year, he was crazy and crying and making trouble every day, and he didn't do any work, no one was willing to raise him in vain, and then he took his daughter to settle down in the waste brick kiln at the entrance of the village, and lived by eating the leftovers of the village people and throwing away the rotten vegetables, and sometimes even grabbed food with the dogs.

The people in the village took pity on him, and even more pity his daughter, who had been smart and lovely since she was a child, and had to suffer this kind of crime at a young age, and then the relatives at home couldn't stand it, so they deceived the child out of the hands of the madman Li, saying that it was sent to his distant relatives for foster care, but in fact, it was sold to others as a daughter, and the children were just taken away for a few days, and the people in the village often heard miserable cries from the broken brick kiln, and they cried for more than half a month before they stopped......

However, at this time, Madman Li was just an ordinary madman, and the fourth said that it was probably four or five years ago that he began to become strange.

That year, there was a young man in the village who was seriously ill, and it was useless to seek medical treatment everywhere, and one day the madman Li suddenly laughed and broke into their house, and said to the child's parents: "Your child is not saved, I will get up at half past eight tomorrow morning to collect his soul, you should hurry up and prepare for the future......

When the head of the family heard this, he was so angry that he beat him out on the spot, but the next morning at half past eight, the young man lay on his kang and swallowed his breath, and the family cried to death, and the madman Li passed out at the base of the wall of their house, and then woke up not long after, and after waking up, laughed and left, and later the family said that a few minutes before the young man lost his breath, they clearly heard the madman Li shouting outside the wall, 'Follow me on the road'.

Later, this kind of thing happened a few times, as long as the madman Li came to the door and said who in your family will die at what time, the person will definitely die when the time comes, of course, not every time someone dies he will appear, someone in the village specifically asked him, madman Li said that he is a ghost in the underworld, called 'horse head', the guard of the second triple door below, some people are not under his control, he only obeys orders.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he began to cry out in pain, lifted his sleeve, and a bloody blood strip appeared on his arm.

When I heard the fourth child say this, I was still a little skeptical, so I snorted as if listening to a joke, and the fourth child said, "You don't believe it? Then I'll tell you something I've seen with my own eyes. It was last summer, I went to the market with a few people in the village, and I saw Madman Li wandering around the market alone, and from time to time he muttered to himself, after all, everyone in the village knew each other, so we went over to talk to him, and then someone gave him a problem, saying that he didn't believe he could really hook the soul, and asked him to try it on the spot...... Guess what Crazy Lee said? ”

I shook my head, and the fourth child said, "He said that the time has not yet come, and the person he came to the hook died at two o'clock in the afternoon, but he can prove his identity to us." ”

"Oh? How did he prove it? I asked.

The fourth replied: "He pointed to an unknown woman who was shopping for vegetables in front of him and said, do you believe that I can scare her into peeing her pants just by looking at her?" Of course we didn't believe it, so we asked him to try it now, but Madman Li really walked over, called the woman from behind, and glared at the woman, who was so frightened that she sat on the ground and her pants were wet...... This is what I saw with my own eyes, we were all stupid at the time, and then Madman Li told us that he was the ghost leader of this place, and the woman was also a ghost, and he could see his real body, but he didn't do it long ago, and he was scared like this when he stared at him...... At that time, after the madman Li said this, he began to grin, and then blood seeped out of his broken vest behind his back, and we lifted his vest to take a look, and there were three more blood strips on his back out of thin air, and he said that he said too much for the people below to beat......"

The fourth child said it vividly, and several times affirmed that he saw it with his own eyes, and I didn't dare to disbelieve it, so I asked him: "Then what?" ”

"And then? Then there was no then, this Li madman was sometimes sober and sometimes crazy, and he would start to go crazy if he couldn't say a few words, but at two o'clock in the afternoon, there was really someone in the market, and an old lady who was selling vegetables in the market died of heat stroke because the weather was too hot......"

After listening to the fourth child, I was silent for a long time, and then turned around and asked Bai Wei: "Bai Wei, is there really such a thing?" ”

Bai Wei nodded and replied: "I heard my master say that there is indeed a yang difference in the underworld who does things in the underworld, in our industry words, it is called 'impermanence', what ox horns, horse heads, cow hooves, and horse braids, on the surface, are ordinary people, but in fact, they have opened the spiritual light, and they have been selected by the bull head and horse face in the underworld to be a ghost who hooks the soul." It's normal that you haven't heard of it, after all, this kind of person doesn't show people fortunes, and second, they can't exorcise demons and get rid of hysteria, so they don't have a reputation, and most of them are regarded as crazy or neurotic......"

After saying that, Bai Wei frowned and pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "But I can't figure it out a little, since it's a yang difference, it's good to do things for the following, and it's good to remind the deceased family master a few minutes in advance, but he has been coming every day since last week, as if he was helping the fifth master count down, why is this?" ”
