Located in Shaanxi Province, Weiyang South Village is an agricultural production base along the Weihe River in the south.

The fields there are fertile and fertile, the people's living standards are well-off, and the houses have maintained their former appearance, almost as a farm compound. A small number of families built two-story small buildings, and that was only because of the strong population of the family.

But I don't know when it began, there was a strange "double death phenomenon" in the village.

On average, it occurs once a year, and the cause of death is not bizarre, so it is ignored by most villagers, and only a very small number of elderly people in the village are concerned.

About ten years ago, 85-year-old Wang in the south of the village passed away at home.

He died at about 2 p.m., during a nap.

But at the same time, Mrs. Liu, a 73-year-old woman in the north of the village, suffered a heart attack.

At that time, her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren were not at home, and her neighbors were also working in the fields, and there was not even a passer-by. Old Mrs. Liu called the heavens and the earth to be unreasonable, and died of illness.

At the end of the same year, 71-year-old Dazhangtou died at home. The time of death was about 3 a.m., and the family found him dead around 6 a.m.

The second person to be found dead was 80-year-old Sun Laotou, who lived in the southwest of the village, and the cause of death was a sudden myocardial infarction, and the time of death was about 3 o'clock in the morning.

In the next six years, every time an old man died in the village, someone would die in a similar period of time.

Some are morbid, some are logical accidents, some are natural deaths, in short, the cause of death is not easy to relate.

Although the difference in the time of death is a few minutes to ten minutes, it is considered the same time in the eyes of those who do not care much.

It's okay to do it once or twice, but it's so coincidental every year, it's theoretically doubtful.

However, all the people who have passed away are elderly people, and they are all people who have some hidden physical diseases, and even if they suddenly die violently, the villagers will not be surprised. Moreover, only two people die every year, and only two couples die in one year, which is not a large number. They all died under logical circumstances, and it is impossible to say that it is bizarre.

People treat it as a coincidence, and they forget about it as soon as it passes.

Except for the five elderly people in the village, who have been careful to record it, they do not think that the "double death phenomenon" is a simple coincidence.

Although they were ordinary people who suffered during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, they have received ideological education in recent years. But no matter how edified, the atmosphere of the old society will leave some remnants, especially the idea of feudal superstition can be said to be deep-rooted.

Four of the five elders are male, and none of them are native-born villagers. When they were young, they moved down due to the transfer of the production team, but they were all from Shaanxi Province.

Uncle Wang and Lao Li Tou thought that the head of the house cover (tomb) was touched by a local master (tomb robber), and woke up the powerful master, which caused trouble in the village. Nowadays, only the old man dies because the Taoism of the family there is not enough, and when the cultivation is completed, it should be the turn of the little gazi (small child or young man).

Lao Zhao Tou said that he did not ask for land when digging a ditch seven years ago, and he committed Tai Sui.

Zhao Laosi said that the river god of the Wei River has to come up every year to catch his breath, and now that the river water is polluted, the river god is angry when he sees it, and he will spew out a bad breath every year. Therefore, the old people who died couldn't help but be sprayed to death by this evil breath, and the statement was very outrageous.

There is a folk saying that bad things can't help but be said, and it is said that it is more accurate to come.

In the eighth year, one afternoon, the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family gave birth prematurely, and she had to deliver the baby at the village clinic because she had no time to send her to the hospital.

The birth went smoothly, but the baby was born without crying and had difficulty breathing, due to the blockage caused by fluid accumulation in the throat.

Due to the poor medical conditions at that time, the lack of professional equipment to absorb, and the limited experience of the village doctors, many methods were tried but they could not get it, and the baby suffocated to death in just two minutes.

On the other side of the village, Wang Dabai began to cool off at noon under the big tree in front of his house while watching the villagers play chess. After watching it for a while, he fell asleep, but what he didn't expect was that he died in his sleep at the time the baby was born.

The reason why it is so certain is at that time is because when Wang Dabai was about to die, a whirlwind with sand suddenly blew over the chessboard, and the wind was wrapped in cool air, and it felt like something had touched the back of his hand, which scared the two of them coldly.

Then the two heard Wang Dabai's strange gasp.

I saw Wang Dabai sitting next to the tree, looking at the sky with his eyes, and his breathing was not smooth. The two stepped forward together, and before one of them could speak, Wang Dabai took a deep breath and closed his eyes, tilted his head, and died!

This is the case in the countryside, and it is impossible to hide it. The husband and wife in the north of the village quarreled, and the south of the village knew the content of the quarrel.

The two people who played chess talked to people, and the people who watched the birth was lively also came to say, and the time was right.

In the ninth year, misfortune befell Lao Litou.

People died in accidents, and there is nothing wrong with the situation, and it is Lao Litou's own fault when it comes to careful study.

It rained that day, and the ground was already slippery, but he had to go down to the field, and his daughter-in-law didn't listen to anything. This is good, one foot on the wet mud, and the old bones will be scattered in one fight.

And about two minutes after his death, the naughty second son of the Liu family climbed on the roof to see the rainbow, slipped and fell, and his head was down, and there was a stone stake underneath, and the result was ...... Killed on the spot.

In the tenth year, he got involved with people outside the village.

At that time, the farmer came to the village to harvest the agricultural products, and a few days later loaded a full cart, but when he was about to leave the village, the left wheel got stuck in the wet mud.

At that time, the body was tilted and was about to fall at any time. But the farmer didn't pay attention at all, and blamed him for having a drink before leaving, and he was dazed. He went to see how the wheels had fallen and the body toppled over, and the weight of several tons weighed down, and the man could not have lived.

At the same time, Lao Zhao Tou was watching a sketch in the house.

There was a box of toffee specially for him to eat, and there was a piece of hard candy in the box, which was the hard candy that Lao Zhao Tou took candy to his great-grandson not long ago, and his great-grandson invited him to eat it back. Lao Zhaotou was easy to get stuck when he ate hard candy, so he didn't dare to eat it and put it in the box at that time, and then forgot about it.

At this time, I saw the amusement place reaching for the candy, and coincidentally got the hard candy, without even looking at the stuff in my mouth. With a smile and a twitch, this piece of hard candy snapped into his throat, choking Lao Zhaotou out of breath, pounding his chest, and finally the person lay on the ground and twitched.

Thankfully, the candy was coughed up.

Lao Zhao was refreshed, who wanted to get up and stood in a hurry, his blood pressure rose instantly, coupled with the lack of oxygen in his brain, he fell to the ground as soon as his eyes were dark, and he died of shock, which was only five minutes different from the tragic death of the farmer.

At this time, despite many coincidences, the villagers still did not take the old people's words seriously.

Maybe it's because the way of death is not bizarre, it's an accident that people can accept, but in short, no one thinks so much.

Among the four elderly men, only Zhao Laosi remained. Fearing that the next time it would be his turn, he moved to the city to live with his children, and it is said that he is still alive.

So now the only person in the village who knows about the phenomenon of double death and has an opinion is only the native grandmother Sun.

Grandma Sun talked about this because of the yellow skin (weasel) incident decades ago.

At that time, Grandma Sun was eight years old, and weasels were rampant, and every chicken coop did not stop one night.

The township chief gathered the villagers to fight the yellow skins, and in less than ten days, more than 20 were killed, and the village had a quiet night.

But it didn't take long for the chickens to be stolen again, and judging from the traces left behind, they were dried by yellow skins, and there would be no more than three. So this time, the township chief did not call people, and only led three experienced villagers to fight.

That night, the moonlight was clear, and the four of them set a trap and lay in ambush on a high place.

In the second half of the night, the sentry noticed that two red lights were rushing in the darkness, and immediately called everyone to be on guard.

When I got closer, I realized that these two red lights were coming from a pair of eyeballs. What's even more amazing is that the person who has these eyeballs is actually a yellow skin with a red body!

It is very agile and runs as fast as lightning to the chicken cage that is used as bait. But it didn't do it immediately, as if it sensed something was wrong, and carefully circled around the chicken coop. After turning around twice, he suddenly stood up and looked around, his little nose trembled slightly, and finally stared at the hiding place of the township chief and others!

The township chief and the others were so shocked that they shrunk their necks, and secretly said that this yellow skin is really shrewd.

When I look at it again, the yellow skin is gone!

The sharp-eyed man noticed that it was running towards the village, and the four immediately chased after it.

When they found it, the four of them couldn't believe their eyes, and the yellow skin was actually picking at the keyhole of the lock with the tip of his claws!

What's even more outrageous is that when Huang Pizi found out that someone was coming, he immediately gave up the lock, and actually bit off the wooden stick with the thickness of the baby's leg, dismantled a chicken coop in three or two clicks, picked up two chickens in the blink of an eye, and then in the blink of an eye, it had easily jumped over the one-meter-high fence and slipped away! Two red lights were left in the darkness, and they disappeared after a long, long distance.

Let's say that at that time, the township chief picked up the crossbow and put the arrows on it, and he only had to hook his fingers to wipe out a life.

Unexpectedly, the other three stopped him, saying that this yellow skin had become a spirit and could not be killed, otherwise it would cause death.

The township chief didn't believe in ghosts and gods and wanted to get rid of it, but the three of them just wouldn't give way, so they could only watch Huangpizi run away.

Later, the news spread, and the township chief could not find anyone to deal with this yellow-skinned man, and he was afraid of its mouth and teeth, and did not dare to go alone. So he came up with a way to wrap the dough in arsenic stuff for the chickens, which digested the dough slowly and did not poison prematurely. When he tried to get Huang Pizi to pick up the chicken, as long as he ate the arsenic dough in the chicken intestines, he would be poisoned to death.

The township chief was also afraid that the amount of medicine for one chicken would not be enough, so he added two more chickens.

It didn't work at first, even if the yellow skins were stocked outside the village, they just didn't talk about these three poisonous chickens. It wasn't until the township chief found out that Huang Pizi had picked the fattest hen in the village that the township chief's plan succeeded.

After the three poisonous chickens were snatched away, something terrible happened.

When it was almost dawn, a very strange sound came from the woods at the north end of the village.

For a while it was like the neighing of a wild boar, for a while it was like the squeak of a mouse when it was afraid, and for a while it was like the cry of an old woman, with a rattling sound, like an old man coughing up phlegm.

At first, it was not very loud, but the whole village could hear it and feel the sound coming from behind their house.

After the time of three incense sticks, the sound gradually increased, and it became more and more miserable, and it sounded like the speaker was suffering greatly. By the end, the sound sounded like a frog in my ears.

The adults were in a panic, the children were so frightened that they hid in the bed and did not dare to come out, and the babies cried even harder.

The livestock of the whole village were so panicked that they were screaming and scurrying, as if they knew that the crisis was coming, and they were desperately looking for a place to hide, and even the dogs were very scared, hiding in the corner of the wall and covering their heads and shivering.

Even the rats felt unsafe in the cave and ran out of the village in a nest!
