Chapter 89: Sending Meat Dumplings
Fang Yuan followed Brother Mumu's instructions, walked straight to the second floor, and pretended to be calm, and kindly took the fans to visit the old mansion.
But he didn't notice anything strange in the house. Unaware that danger was looming.
After walking into the room on the second floor, in order to show that she was bold, she sat at a shabby wooden table and continued the live broadcast.
But at this time, the comment area exploded, and some fans told her, there is someone behind you!
Or a woman dressed in white!
Fang Yuan looked back in a horrified manner, and then said that there is no one, don't scare me.
But she couldn't bear to say that at first, so she got up and went to check,
But when she walked to the bathroom, a large amount of red liquid suddenly oozed from the door.
Frightened, she hurriedly went off the plant, packed up her things and prepared to leave, but when she walked to the door, she was knocked to the ground by a force.
Immediately after that, a rope floated from nowhere, as if consciously, and directly strangled her neck!
The strength of the rope was so strong that it was pulled up alive, trying to hang her in the room.
Fang Yuan felt that her feet were about to leave the ground, and her throat was completely unable to breathe.
But at this moment, a woman in a wedding dress suddenly walked into the old mansion, barefoot and came to the center.
There was black blood in his eyes, as if he was being controlled by something, and his mouth kept shouting:
"Help, I don't want ......"
The hand unconsciously ripped Fang Yuan off the rope, but he groped for the rope strangely.
just hanged himself in the old mansion.
Fang Yuan, who was pulled to the ground, was frightened when she saw this scene, wanted to scream but couldn't make a sound, and retreated step by step, which can be regarded as escaping.
Fang Yuan, who was too frightened, didn't know what to do at all, she didn't dare to broadcast live anymore, and she couldn't sleep all night.
The most terrifying thing is that there was only one red mark on the neck that was left when he hanged himself that day, but now, it has become four!
In desperation, the panicked Fang Yuan asked around about the way to crack it, and then found Uncle Liu, hoping to give him some guidance.
The three of us were thinking about this matter while listening to Fang Yuan's crying, and Uncle Liu looked up and asked Fang Yuan:
"Fang Yuan, do you know the woman in a wedding dress who suddenly went in later?"
When she heard Uncle Liu ask, she was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and continued to cry and said:
"I don't know, and I don't know why this woman suddenly appeared......"
When Uncle Liu heard this, he touched his chin with his hand and said:
"That's weird...... It stands to reason that people you don't know don't need to help you stop disasters......"
That's when I said:
"Uncle Liu, why don't we go to the old mansion and have a look? Looking for some clues"
Uncle Liu thought about it and nodded in agreement.
But at this time, Fang Yuan suddenly spoke:
"Huh?! No, I'm not going, I'm going to go, I'm going to go! ”
When I saw her like this, I patted her on the shoulder and said:
"In broad daylight, besides, we are here, what are you afraid of."
That Fang Yuan was obviously frightened by this, and still shook her head in horror with her eyes widened,
Seeing this, Uncle Liu sighed and said:
"Little girl's family, don't scare her. That Fang Yuan will be at the door in a while, let's go in, and ask her in time if there is any situation. Victory, go drive. ”
Just like that, the four of them came to the ghost building in the eastern suburbs after a while, because someone died a few days ago, and this place was obviously dealt with, and the door was sealed with a warning strip.
Fang Yuan sat in the car and refused to get out, and we opened the heavy wooden door again under the big sun.
As soon as I entered, a strong smell of dampness mixed with dirt came over the pavement, and I choked a little.
The building is an old-fashioned four-story villa, and it is said that it was the mansion of a large family a few decades ago.
Later, somehow, the big families moved away, and this place was deserted.
In the last few years, news has begun to spread that this place is haunted, either by people hearing singing in the middle of the night, or by people passing by hearing people crying inside.
Gradually, as soon as it spread ten, ten, ten, hundred, the originally barren place added a terrifying color.
We wandered around this place, and didn't find anything unusual, and finally the servants stood in the position where the woman in the wedding dress was hanged, and looked up, and Uncle Liu found the clue.
So he found a chair and stepped on it, to reach the middle beam, Uncle Liu reached out and groped on the beam for a while, and after a while, he took down half of the red rope from it.
Victory and I hurried up and carefully examined the half of the red rope.
The rope was made of gold wire and red thread twisted one by one, and it was very strong, with some black stains on it.
Uncle Liu took the rope and looked at it for a long time, suddenly thought of something, and muttered:
"Golden red rice dumplings? It shouldn't be...... Could it be...... Send meat dumplings?! ”
When we heard Uncle Liu say this, we were a little confused, but Uncle Liu did not hesitate, took a talisman from his sleeve, burned it in the sky with a little fire, and then said to the two of us, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, go back first.
When we returned to the store, Uncle Liu put the red rope on the table, still looking at it carefully, and we hurriedly asked Uncle Liu what was going on at this time.
Uncle Liu said leisurely that this red rope is not an ordinary rope, but a zongzi rope for the Dragon Boat Festival.
In the south, there is a folk saying that the hanged person is deeply resentful, and after death, the resentful spirit will be attached to the rope, if the rope appears to be twisted into gold wire and red thread, it is the golden red rice line, which represents that the evil has been attached.
Only by holding a grand ceremony by the puja in time, and sending the rope to the mouth of the sea in time to burn it and throw it into the sea, can the evil spirits stay in the world to catch the dead ghosts.
This kind of ritual is called "sending evil" by the locals, and because the hanged person is like a zongzi tied by a thread after death, it is also commonly known as "sending meat zongzi".
Therefore, in some areas in the south, wrapping meat dumplings is a metaphor for hanging.
Before the ceremony, notices are also posted on the roads to inform residents to close their doors, avoid people, and not travel at night.
Delivering meat dumplings requires a team of a certain size, and at the same time as Zhong Kui presses the array to drive away the evil,
Along the way, people will sprinkle rice and salt, set off firecrackers, and the streets will usually be emptied, and the doors of homes will be closed.
That's why some netizens will say, "The custom of giving meat dumplings is far away from us, and it is very close."
"Families know about and even hear about these rituals, but they often take place late at night, and the doors are closed and you can't see anything, so they are far away from the daily lives of the residents.
Since the doors of the homes were closed and the streets were empty, there was nothing to hide from the evil spirits at this time, and the purpose of the ceremony was achieved.
If you accidentally encounter a send-off team, you need to immediately turn sideways to avoid it, and silently recite the Buddha's name in your heart, not looking directly;
If you have already broken into the team, you must follow the whole journey, and before returning home, you need to go to the temple to ask for incense protection, if you do not do so, you may be selected by the deceased to "catch alternately", and you will also hang yourself.
Hearing this, we all focused our eyes on the overwhelmed Fang Yuan.
Because this is the north, it stands to reason that these things should not have appeared.
But Fang Yuan is a southerner, and this matter should have some connection with her hometown.
So I asked Fang Yuan:
"Fang Yuan, you reminisce, have any strange things happened to you in the past few years, especially in your hometown?"
Fang Yuan thought for a while, then shook his head and said, No.
Victory asks again:
"So, do you know what a meat dumpling is?"
Fang Yuan still shook her head and said she didn't know.
After a while, Uncle Liu said:
"It is the custom of the older generation to send meat dumplings, and it is normal for young people not to know, don't ask her,
Now the key question is, if you can use the way of sending meat dumplings to the sea in the south to drive away the evil, but now in the mainland, what should we do?! ”
Everyone was at a loss, and this Fang Yuan couldn't provide useful information,
At present, I only know that this thing is a kind of dumpling evil, and it has this kind of connection with Fang Yuan, and I want to hang her.
In desperation, Uncle Liu gave Fang Yuan a few talismans, so that she could stick them on her body when she slept recently, so that she could be safe for a while, and if there was any problem, she would hurry over to discuss.
Then it was getting late, so let Fang Yuan go back first.
A few days passed like this, and nothing happened.
But early one morning, a young man in his 20s suddenly broke into the store.
shouted excitedly,
Questioning us who gave Fang Yuan the charm and almost killed her.
