The wilderness is overgrown with weeds, and the wind blows the dead branches and grass rolling all over the ground.

"It's dry, be careful of the candle ......"

The husband Yuan lame shouted in his voice while knocking on the bangzi.

Yuan Cripple is a cripple, dragging a pair of broken shoes, walking with one foot of one meter six, one foot of one meter seven, and walking high and low through the streets and alleys. is such a broken day, coupled with Yuan Cripple's broken voice, it sounds extremely terrifying.

Today is the annual Qingming Festival, as the saying goes, it is rare to rain in the valley, it is rare to be sunny in Qingming, the sky is really in season, yesterday it was still sunny, and today it is gloomy.

Qingming Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, and Winter Clothes Festival are the three major ghost festivals in China.

Zhongyuan Festival, that is, the seventh half of the ancestor worship festival, also known as Shi Gu, Ghost Festival, Zhai Gu, Diguan Festival. The festival customs mainly include worshipping ancestors, releasing river lanterns, worshipping the souls of the dead, burning paper ingots, etc.

Winter Clothes Festival, the first day of the tenth lunar month every year, also known as the "October Dynasty", "Ancestor Festival", "Hades Festival", the people call the ghost head day, is a traditional sacrificial festival in our country, according to legend originated in the Zhou Dynasty.

The Winter Clothes Festival is popular in the north, and many northerners will sacrifice on this day to commemorate the deceased relatives and send winter clothes.

Among them, the Qingming Festival is the first of the three major ghost festivals, and it is the most weird. On this day, as soon as the sky is dark, the doors and windows of every house are closed, and basically adults and children do not leave the house, especially the weak people are not easy to travel.

It is said that on the night of the Qingming Festival, the underworld also has a holiday to rest, and they all begin to relax during the holiday, so the ghosts and ghosts of the underworld come out to wander. The male ghost finds the female ghost for a tryst, and the female ghost finds the male ghost to mingle. If there is no lover, they will come out to find people, they will only find people who are weak to take advantage of the weakness, and the ghost is not trivial, not to entangle you, but also torture half to death.

Such miraculous things are all nonsense told to children by old people who have nothing to do, and they have been passed down from generation to generation, of course, no one knows whether there are so many eight things.

The lonely Yuan lame man was like a lonely ghost, he was full of smoke and black pressure all the way, and a gust of night wind hit him, making people shudder.

This guy was not slow to walk with a pair of broken shoes, and the bang in his hand knocked three more times, repeatedly shouting his old words.

"Close the doors and windows to prevent theft and theft......"

The remote and ancient town of Datun is sparsely populated, and it coincides with Halloween, and they are all squinting at home, and no one dares to come out if there is no urgent matter of getting married to a father. He kept shouting "anti-theft and anti-theft" all over Datun Town, just you Yuan lame man swaggering alone in the ghost street and ghost road, where did the thief come from?

Yuan Cripple is also a human, not a god, there is not even a ghost on the street, and he is quite hairy in his heart.

From time to time, he turned back and always felt that someone was following behind him, the more he was afraid, the more loud he was, he could vaguely hear the sound of broken steps behind him, and what was even more strange was that someone seemed to be panting behind his big head. Turning his head sharply, Ma Labazi's hair, except for a cloud of smoke, there is not a single hair.

At that moment, a woman's laughter came from behind her, the voice was sharp and long, and the laughter was like an old hen being stabbed in the neck, and the last cry of hysteria came out, and then floated in the night sky. I can't help but tear people's hearts out, I can't wait to tear a hole in my chest, and then take out my heart and knead it a few times to be comfortable.

"There are no footsteps, only breathing and the wicked laughter of the girls, is it a ghost? It is said that ghosts don't make a sound when they walk, so it can't really be, right? ”

The more Yuan lame thought about it, the more scared he became, the more afraid his legs became, and he couldn't take a step. Suddenly, he turned his head sharply, but it was terrible, and suddenly, Yuan Cripple was scared and sweated.

I saw a black mess in front of me,? Like charred coal, the black charcoal almost stuck to his face. Relying on his sesame big courage, Yuan crippled and raised the flickering lantern in his hand, he tried to see what this pitch black was.

He tried to keep his mung bean eyes as wide as possible, and the in front of him was unkempt, grinning and sticking out his long tongue, rolling his big white eyes, staring at him honestly.

Yuan lame suddenly felt trembling all over his body and his limbs were stiff, and he couldn't wait to borrow two long legs to scatter the girl. He said in his heart, mother! When you first gave birth to me, why didn't you give me a pair of wings?

Yuan lame wanted to run, but his pair of little short legs didn't listen to the call, and he was in a hurry, and the crotch of his pants was gone, wet, and he was extremely useless.

The ghost in front of him had an even more hideous face, and his extremely ugly face was distorted and distorted. A pair of dirty big black hands and claws slowly stretched out towards Yuan Cripple, and it seemed that this ghost thing was going to strangle himself to death.

"Oops! My mother! Ghost ......"

Yuan Cripple was really frightened this time, this guy's eyes rolled white, and he fell to the ground with a "quack" back, staring at the root of his white eyes, foaming at the mouth, and convulsing all over. The lanterns and bangs fell to the ground one after another, and the paper lanterns burned to ashes after they landed.

This crippled man suffered from epilepsy since he was a child, commonly known as sheep's horn wind, and he would get sick every time he was frightened or extremely nervous.

His father and mother heard from the neighbors that eating cat meat can cure convulsions, the so-called home remedies cure serious diseases, as long as they heard that they can cure the child's disease, no matter what damage tricks have to be used, even if someone says that eating dog shit is effective, they will catch a handful of children in their mouths, so the unlucky is the cat, in those years, the big cats, kittens, domestic cats, and wild cats were killed a lot by Yuan lame, his father and old Yuan.

Lao Yuan hung the caught cat on the crooked neck tree, and then used a sharp horn knife to peel off the skin alive, saying that it was the only way to work, because the live peeling can gather the cat's aura, and the aura is the root of curing diseases and saving people.

The cat's cry is already terrible, the taste of this live peeling is not pleasant, and the cry is even more heartbreaking, more terrifying than the night owl's cry, no less than the ghost crying wolf.

Cats have caused a lot of scourges, and in the end the disease is not only not cured, but the epilepsy has become more and more serious, and it used to be smoked for half an hour, but now it is not good for an hour, and the child is pumped all over the body, and over time it destroys the brain, and it is almost like a fool, with a wooden expression and dull eyes.

It's also strange to say that Lao Yuan, who put down the butcher's knife, seemed to be enchanted, and at night he said that there was a cat meowing outside. He was so frightened that he covered his ears, covered his head with a quilt, and didn't dare to come out when he was soaked with sweat.

did not cure the disease of Xiao Yuan's lameness, Lao Yuan was stunned again, and he was extremely itchy all day long, no matter where he stripped naked, he scratched it, peeled off his skin piece by piece, made himself a blood gourd, and finally strangled himself to death with a hemp rope hanging on the crooked neck tree that hung the cat.

Those who have witnessed Lao Yuan's death still have lingering palpitations when they mention this matter.

The old man in the village said: "Don't do evil, you will be retributed, everything in the world has spirituality, Lao Yuan is a cat who has mutilated too much and suffered retribution, how you let the cat die, the cat will let you die." ”

No, today Yuan Cripple was frightened and fell to the ground and smoked the sheep's horn wind, and the saw Yuan Cripple lying on the ground, clenching his teeth and foaming at the mouth, smoking like a wooden man, he raised his leg and kicked Yuan Cripple's lame foot, and pouted.

"Phew! Yuan lame, you are really a fucking calf, you are still a husband like a rat? Scare you turtle bastard, you can't scream in the middle of the night? ”

What the hell is this? He is the well-known pimply gangster Suoba, this bad thing bag likes to paint the ash on the bottom of the pot on his already dirty face, and comes out to pretend to be a ghost to scare people, and today he met Yuan Cripple, and he was unlucky.

In the past, Yuan Cripple may not be drawn into this bear, today happens to be Halloween, and he is already weak when he meets this ghost father again, it's strange if he doesn't smoke! This may be the right time, place, and people!

This Suo Ba was originally an orphan, some people say that he was born to Sister Yao, some people say that he was born to a big girl, in short, he himself doesn't know who gave birth to him, let alone who his father is.

He said that he was of royal blood, his surname was Aixin Jueluo, and his name was Suoba, and his family was getting down to today's field, otherwise he would not be the prince but also the lord of Baylor. "How did the royal family get mixed up with his virtue? You can't be born by a wet nurse, right? ”

Someone would always respond with a mockery of his bullshit, but Suoba didn't think so.

"You grass people are all rat-eyed, hey! It is poverty that limits your thinking! Fortunately, the Qing Kingdom is gone, otherwise based on your words, Lord Ben Belle would have ordered someone to click you at the entrance of the vegetable market. ”

It is said that Suo Ba was abandoned in the barren mountains and mountains in infancy, and it happened that a priest from Longshou Mountain passed down the mountain, heard a baby crying, and the Taoist priest found the baby boy along the sound, and brought the baby boy back to the Taoist temple to raise, and since then Xiao Suoba has grown up in the Taoist temple as a little Taoist.

Suoba has been extremely stubborn since he was a child, stealing chickens and touching dogs. In the Taoist temple, there is a clear soup and little water, how can he bear it when he is lazy and cunning? Go down the mountain today to steal a chicken, and tomorrow go down the mountain to go down a duck. Then wrap the stolen chickens and ducks tightly with yellow mud, throw them into the fire and cook them, shake off the cheeks, turn up the big molars, and then fall down on the hillside to bask in the sun and sleep when the belly is full, and then get up and go up the mountain before the sun goes down, and end up at ease.

Without a thatched house that does not leak rain for three years, paper cannot contain the fire after all, and the common people often come to the mountain gate to seek justice. Suo Ba was scolded by the Taoist chief, and beaten at the worst.

It is said that one day, Suo Ba sneaked down the mountain again, jumped over the wall and jumped into a small farmhouse yard, noon was the time for the hen to lay eggs, a grasp of a quasi, he skillfully put the thief's paws into the chicken nest, and soon pulled the old hen out of the chicken nest.

The thief looked at the old hen in his hand and bared his teeth proudly, and turned around to leave with the old hen in his hand. Unexpectedly, an old man was standing in front of him with a fierce look, and what was even more terrifying was that the old man was holding a big yellow dog in his hand. The big yellow dog is huge, like a fierce lion, with big red eyelids, a big mouth, sharp teeth, drooling, and a posture of swallowing its bones and eating its flesh.

"You're a Taoist priest and stealing chickens? What kind of monk are you? The old man was huffing and glaring at Suo Ba angrily.

Suoba clutched the old hen's wings in his hands, and the old hen was not to be outdone, and was dying in his hands. He looked at the old hen in his hand, and then at the old man in front of him, embarrassed with big yellow teeth.

"What are you yelling about? I'm not stealing, I'm borrowing, I'll take the old hen back and feed it fat, and I'll give it back to you when the eggs hatch and the hens hatch. "Suo Ba steals other people's chickens, and he is quite tough when he talks.

", what are you talking nonsense? Do you think my old man is a nursing doll? Stealing chickens is said to be borrowing chickens, and the eggs laid by the old hen are also mine, who are you fooling? Go with me and go to your Taoist chief to judge. ”

The old man reached out to grab Suo Ba, how could Suo Ba sit still and wait to die. This thief is very thief, comparable to Liang Shanbo's chicken thief, he flashed and climbed over the wall, and ran away.
