Chapter 413: Concentric Lock
I've never heard anyone say that the tombs in this village are particularly evil.
So for a while, I couldn't figure out what the headwind chief wanted the woman's wooden sign for.
And the two wooden boxes in front of me are also related to wood.
So what the hell is going on here?
"Do you want to open it now?" Dong Jing urged.
Originally, I wanted to drag it out, because I didn't have a problem in my head, and I was afraid that there would be some accidents after the wooden box was opened.
But when I look up at the window in my room, it's already dark.
If you don't do it now, then it's too late.
So I nodded and began to tinker to see how I could open the wooden box.
The lock was completely rusty, and there was no way to open it even with a key, so I had to resort to violent methods.
There is a small hammer under the bed, which is not large, but it is really convenient to use.
I took a hammer to break the locks on the two wooden boxes, and to my surprise, the wood of the wooden boxes was not very hard, and when I smashed it, the wooden boxes had broken in half.
The contents of one of the boxes, I thought they were used for some kind of curse, but what I didn't expect was that there were actually two small locks locked together.
"Concentric locks." Dong Jing frowned.
Where have I heard this name, some attractions will ask couples to buy a concentric lock to lock it up, so that it means that two people will never be separated.
But this is just some gimmick, although some people buy it in real life, but they will not bring the concentric lock back to their home.
And there is no name on it, so I don't know what kind of formation this is.
"But why isn't there a name on it? Isn't this ritual useless? Dong Jing was obviously a little puzzled.
The other box contained a bunch of small paper figures.
Those little paper figures are very similar to the paper dolls in the funeral shop, their faces are painted white, and their cheeks are a little blush, which is really oozing to look at.
At this time, it was already dawn, and the old village chief did not wait for me to pass at his own house, as I requested, but walked up from the door on crutches.
When he saw us in the second room on the right on the second floor, his face didn't quite look right.
"Why are you here?" The old village chief asked.
We didn't realize that someone had walked in and heard his voice, and Dong Jing and I were both startled.
After seeing that the person who came was the old village chief, a nameless fire suddenly rose in my heart: "Why are you here?" Don't you know what we're doing? Didn't I already warn you, waiting for us at your house?! ”
The old village chief's eyes instantly became less friendly: "I asked you to come over and help deal with things, and you will rummage through the cabinets." Don't you know that this is someone else's thing? ”
What he said, I suddenly felt a little bit of sense, but this is our job, and I don't know how to explain it to him.
"Please go out, such behavior is unacceptable in the place under my jurisdiction." He slammed his cane to the ground.
After saying this, his eyes caught eye on the two smashed wooden boxes.
After seeing the contents of the wooden box, Tie Qing's face turned pale.
"How could it be these two things?!" His voice trembled as he said this.
I frowned slightly, he should know something.
"Old village chief, do you know something?" I asked.
When confronted with my question, he did not dare to answer.
Everything he did was concealed, and he was disgusted with us rummaging through the cabinets, it seemed that it was not because we had touched other people's things, but because he was afraid that this Xiaolin family's things would be discovered by us.
"What the hell do you know?!" My tone was a little stronger.
The old village chief still didn't answer my words, but just looked at the two things, and his eyes were red.
Suddenly, he sat down on the floor, tears streaming down his face.
"I killed them, I am!"
In the face of his emotional out-of-control, Dong Jing and I were a little caught off guard.
Originally, I wanted to continue to force him to tell the story, but now I don't dare to ask any more.
"I killed these two children, and they were all my ......" The old village chief became even more emotional, and he burst into tears.
We don't dare to talk nonsense, he is already in the midst of self-blame, if we talk nonsense at this time, I am afraid that he will not be able to slow down and will be gone.
So we sat with him on the side, and it was already dawn anyway, and we couldn't find anything else.
Before these two children got married, Xiaolin's father gave him a baby kiss.
Because that person is a little girl in the city, he gave a lot of help to Xiaolin's father when he was the village head, plus the little girl is in the city, and it is estimated that she will be able to help Xiaolin and make him soar when she grows up.
At that time, in order to protect this family business, the village chief Lin specially went to the family in the city and made a copper lock.
After having the copper lock, Village Chief Lin locked the two locks and turned them into concentric locks.
My father used to be a well-known Mr. Yin and Yang in the village, and he deliberately made it possible for these two children to be together for the rest of their lives.
But it didn't take long for the little girl to be abducted and disappeared.
The people in their family were crazy, and they also found my father to help the little girl tell her fortune.
My father said at the time that the little girl's soul was still in this world, and she seemed to be quite healthy, so the little girl should not be dead yet.
After the family in the city made a fuss about my father, they started to look for the little girl everywhere.
While they were looking for it, Xiao Lin was slowly growing up.
The matter was over, but my father had warned me many times and told me to tell their family that they could not go against their will.
Because once the concentric lock is practiced, the two people will be entangled to death. One life is born, and one is dead.
Later, Xiao Lin and his little daughter-in-law fell into each other's eyebrows, and Village Chief Lin was very afraid that something would happen, so he asked me for help.
At that time, I learned a little skill from my father, so I taught him to let the paper doll replace the little daughter-in-law and prick a few stitches in the leg of the paper doll.
But what I didn't expect was that the paper doll also had needles in its abdomen.
This led to the fact that the little daughter-in-law had no way to have children.
I guess Village Chief Lin should be trying to use this method to make Xiao Lin give up being with his little daughter-in-law.
What he didn't expect was that although he grew up in the village, Xiao Lin never thought about letting this little daughter-in-law leave a queen for their neighbors. ”
