Five

I couldn't sit still any longer, and the sea started looking for me for new textbooks again.

I've got to break this mess.

Otherwise, I will be the next one to die in the village.

I brought three catties of pig's head meat and two taels of wine to find Wang Laola.

The door was overgrown with weeds, and before I could enter the door, I heard the barking of his two black dogs.

His two black dogs are extremely psychic.

Wang Lao's two legs are almost paralyzed, he is single, no children and no daughters, if it weren't for these two black dogs, he probably couldn't take care of himself.

Wang Lao was extremely lame, and whenever a child passed by his door, he would let the dog out and bite it, and since then the adults in the village have told their children not to approach.

But there was only one difference for me: maybe it was the same as the rest of the village, because my grandfather was a scholar.

Who? An old, muddy voice came from inside the room.

Grandpa Wang, it's me.

Come on in.

It seemed like it was said to me, and it was like it was said to his two black dogs.

Hearing this, the black dog immediately stopped barking and made way for me.

I walked in slowly, and the roof of Mr. Wang's lame house fell off, revealing mottled white stones, cobwebs in the cracks of the walls, and the hemp ropes hanging on the branches swayed slightly in the wind, which was eerie and terrifying.

The closer I got inside, the more I heard a pungent smell of urine and feces, and the smell was very strong, hitting the Tianling Gai.

I felt like I was going to retch in the grass in the next second.

I resisted the nausea and held my breath as I walked inside.

The door was opened with a creak, and a stronger flavor came to the face.

An unkempt old man sat in the middle of the rotten wooden village.

The legs were skinny and dangling slightly in the empty trouser tubes.

At first glance, although the upper body is thin, it can also be called lean.

But the lower body is like the body of a six- or seven-year-old child.

Wang Lao has been paralyzed for so many years, and his muscles have long since atrophied.

Wang Lao lame didn't raise his eyes.

Are you Ginpei's grandson? He spoke slowly, a foul breath coming out of his mouth.

Yinping is my grandfather's name.

I nodded heavily.

What are you looking for from me?

Grandpa Wang, I want to live.

Maybe his old man has been closed all day, and the news has not yet reached his ears.

I told him about the tragic appearance of Ah San fished out of the well and the death of the new fortune teller, Lan Jiao.

When Wang Laolame heard this, his expression was still very flat, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.

It's not surprising that they do this business, fortune-telling and disaster relief, and they haven't seen any evil spirits.

Grandpa Wang, I have a hunch that I will be next.

Lately, the sea has been following me all the time, and I feel like his next target is me.

Mr. Wang didn't answer me a few questions.

You say you're next, but why would that kid want to hurt you?

Because I was admitted to the county high school, he didn't.

What does this have to do with you? Thou hast gone thy own way, and thou hast not taken his way.

Have you ever done anything evil?

Never, I studied innocently, and I never did anything bad.

That's good.

Immediately, Wang Lao twisted his body, took out a piece of talisman paper, wrote something with his back to me, folded it and handed it to me.

Take this with you and open it when the time comes.

Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

There are gods and Buddhas in the heavens, arbitrarily judging good and evil in the world.

I hurriedly took this charm, this is my life charm.

I thanked him and prepared to put the meat and wine on the table.

Take all the wine and meat back, I will take someone else's, but I can't take yours.

But would you like to hear me tell you a story?

He asked me in a hoarse voice, but the tone was not like an inquiry,

It was like I had to listen.

I was confused as to why he didn't accept me.

Even if you want to tell me a story?

This old man, it's not that no one has spoken and chatted for too long, he feels lonely and lonely, and he needs to find someone to listen to him.

Without waiting for me to nod, he slowly opened his head

For many years, a young man was happy with a beautiful girl, and the girl was also devoted to him, and the two were happy.

But the young man's family was poor, and he couldn't even make up the coins to propose his relatives.

Seeing that the woman he loved was about to marry someone else, the young man had a plan and came up with a crooked idea: to go to the rich and noble house in the village to steal something and sell it.

He took advantage of the darkness of the night to touch a rich family, who knew that the family had a very clever dog. The dog barked and immediately woke the family.

The young man wanted to run, but he was held down and tied up.

No matter how much he begged for mercy, the family was extremely vicious and refused to let him go.

He didn't expect that wicked family to be so vicious.

Fortunately, a well-wisher gave him a life, but he lost his legs since then.

He had a problem even staying alive, and he never had the face to see the woman he loved again.

But the woman had a deep affection for him, and despite the obstruction of her family, she came to the young man.

So the woman did not leave him, and she wanted to be with him.

Who knows that the gods and Buddhas are ruthless.

On the day that the woman came to him, she met the wicked man to dishonor him.

When the wicked man saw that the woman was so beautiful, he hung his eyes with lust for a moment, and burned himself.

He stripped the woman of her clothes in front of him, intending to do something wrong.

The young man was angry and anxious, but his legs were weak, his nails were stuck in the mud, he slashed half an inch, struggled to crawl over, and was kicked a few meters away by the man.

The woman was crushed by the wicked man,

The young man had to watch, and he shouted for help,

The throat of the shouting oozed blood,

Shouting's face was dark and his eyes were red.

startled the whole Zhuangzi with the dogs barking one after another,

The shouts, the barking of the dogs, the mournful cries of the women,

It shook the entire village and reverberated over Zhuangzi.

But the whole village seemed to be deaf.

No one could hear it.

He shouted and looked at the curtain of the door,

Until the end,

No one stepped in to stop this inhuman evil.

I had no choice but to watch my beloved being stripped of his clothes and defiled his body.

The villain looked at him with a wicked smile,

Provoking this look at the young man,

Envy it. He lifted his pants and walked away.

The woman felt that her body was not pure, and she should dishonor herself with the filthy earth.

No matter how the young man shouted and dragged,

With hatred and resentment in her eyes, she was bent on death and committed suicide.

On the day she died, the young man held the cold corpse in his arms, his eyes full of sorrow, and he looked up to the sky and wept.

The next day he buried the woman.

Immediately ignoring the bloody legs and hands,

Struggling to crawl through the village, crying for justice.

The blood was mottled and poured all over the floor.

But everywhere he pleaded, there was no way out.

After that, there was no one in the world in the eyes of the young man.

Only this ruthless sky and swallowing loess.

Immediately, Wang Lao lame and sighed heavily:

Ghosts are just hideous-looking, and people are well-dressed.

He lowered his head, said no more, and waved me away.
