Chapter 141: Carpenter Zhong (1)
In front of the deserted village, there is a small river, the river passes through the desert, and when it passes through the deserted village, it already has a lot of momentum. This small river passed through the house of Shaoqiu, and not far downstream, there was Meishan. Meishan is a big village, among which there are many landlords and wealthy merchants, and there are many rich people, and there are naturally many beautiful women.
There is an ancient tree in the Mae Mountains, if a dozen people hug it, it will not be able to hold it, the bark is old and ugly, covered with mud, and there are quite unknown large birds inhabiting it.
And in this year, for some reason, this ancient tree was struck by lightning and a large piece was cut off. The ancient trees are no longer prosperous, not as prosperous as in the past, but there is a desolate helplessness. Since then, the ancient tree has been struck by lightning, and the people of Meishan have said that Meishan is not good, and it is a crime, otherwise, why would it be struck by lightning? However, many people have doubts about such statements, and there are naturally not a few people who believe them.
Those who have good looks, passing by here one day, it is the day is scorching, it is inconvenient to continue to hurry, and under this ancient tree, it is quite shady, not busy walking for a while, but staying under this ancient tree, sitting on a clean stone. When I looked at this ancient tree, I cried out for some reason, "It's not good! Hearing the exclamation of this warlock, the people of Meishan were quite surprised, I don't know what happened to the ancient tree, wasn't it just struck by lightning, as for such a fuss?
And this warlock, facing this ancient tree, sat on this stone for a while, weeping faintly, of course, for such a foolish person, the people of Meishan did not care. As they should sleep when they should sleep, and when they should hold a woman, no one will take the nonsense of the sorcerer to heart, and the sorcerer will not force the people to believe his words, so he sits on the stone and weeps for a while, and then departs in a daze.
Not only that, in a dark night, there are people in Meishan who have insomnia, and sleepless people listen to this small river alone in this dark night. The sound of the river at this time is naturally bleak and even frightening. And the wind blew howling, and everywhere it passed, many houses were destroyed, and the screams were naturally constant, I don't know what was going on.
It was a long night, and after a strong wind, the Mae Mountains returned to calm, and for a while they could hardly hear anything, except for the small river that murmured eastward. At this time, I heard the sound of a high-heeled shoe stepping on the bluestone road, and in a trance, I heard the woman cry softly, "Give me back." ”
For such small sounds, the people of Meishan naturally can't hear them, not to mention that most of them have already fallen asleep, and the only one who can really hear them is this sleepless person. At this time, I was so frightened that I hardly dared to stay in this house, and I wished that this woman would not stay in front of her own house, and that it was better to leave as soon as possible.
But the woman did not know what was going on, and sat down at the door of the sleepless man, and said softly, "Give me back." "However, the sleepless man relied on the fact that he had never done anything bad in his life, and at this time he was not afraid of the appearance of this thing, and besides, he still had a knife in his house, which was quite capable of suppressing evil spirits, not to mention that it was only a female, even if it was a male?
After a stalemate like this, the sleepless man gradually fell asleep, and when he woke up again, he listened attentively and heard nothing. Only the wind howled across the sky of the Mae Mountains, but no stones were heard falling, and no one screamed.
When the sleepless person wakes up the next day, he feels that he can no longer stay in this Meishan Mountain, the feng shui has been corrupted, and if this continues, he will not be able to live in peace. No, a few days later, the sleepless quietly pulled all his belongings into a big car, and sneaked away in the dark night, braving the drizzle.
Of course, the people of Meishan can also understand the sudden departure of the sleepless, this is naturally going to other places to make a living, it is normal, why make such a fuss? However, the Sleepless Man is an upright person who is known to all in Meishan, and once he leaves, he has the momentum of never returning, which is quite incredible.
After that, there were quite a few people who followed in the footsteps of sleepless people and left Meishan one after another, and it was impossible to verify where they went. However, other people, especially some second-rate people, feel that there is nothing wrong with living in Meishan, and they should laugh at those who persuade them to leave as soon as possible. As for leaving the place where you grew up?
Carpenter Zhong naturally didn't want to go, because this Meishan is a place where he urinates and lives, and he is used to the mountains and rivers here, and it is not very convenient to find other habitats. Besides, he is not young, and he is old and has to leave his hometown, and the desolation is not something that outsiders can experience. It's better to stay in this Meishan, even if there is no prosperity in the city, but this grass and trees are affectionate to themselves, and they are naturally reluctant to leave.
Bell carpenters are usually helping people repair houses, make doors and windows, repair cabinets, or just make a small chair for others. However, Carpenter Zhong's life is quite good, he doesn't worry about food or clothing, and he also has a son and a daughter, which is very okay in a deserted village. You know, in this poor and remote place, I don't know how many bachelors, it's not that they can't find women, the reason is that there are no women in this deserted village at all. If he has a slight appearance, he left this deserted village early, and would rather go out to beg for food, which is ten thousand times better than staying in this desolate place.
Carpenter Zhong himself is not very good-looking, but the daughter-in-law he asked for is quite good-looking, and the people in the deserted village praise Carpenter Zhong for his good fortune and being able to ask for such a good woman. However, Carpenter Zhong didn't care, as if all this was arranged by God, not by human will.
The carpenter's woman stays in this deserted village, usually has nothing to do, and has nothing to do on a rainy day, but she also stays in this house on a good sunny day, and plays cards with some idle people in the deserted village, which is somewhat unreasonable. You must know that no matter how windy or rainy, even if it is a bullet falling from the sky, Carpenter Zhong will still carry his burden and go to other people's houses to work. However, Carpenter Zhong's woman doesn't care about people's discussions, she is such a beautiful woman, but she only marries this Carpenter Zhong, even if she sympathizes with Carpenter Zhong's honesty, but when she dreams back at midnight, she still spews out a long breath of cold air.
On this day, Carpenter Zhong carried his own burden again, braved the heavy snow, and went to make beds for others. The carpenter's woman stayed at home, and listened to the carpenter's words, and did not go anywhere, but stayed in this room to make a fire, and chatted with the women who came to her house to chat.
At the end of the day, when it was getting dark, Carpenter Zhong had not yet returned home, and Carpenter Zhong's woman was a little afraid, could it be that something had happened to her man, otherwise why didn't she come back after such a night? The other women who accompanied the Carpenter Lady saw that it was not early, and then accompanied the Carpenter Woman so that they did not feel afraid, which was something they were extremely unwilling to do. Why should you be a companion to others, and no one gives you money, as for being so kind? At this time, when they saw that it was already night, they stretched their long waists and left, and for a time there was only this carpenter's woman who remained in this dilapidated house. The son and daughter had gone to bed, and for a while they were alone by the fire, and they heard the wind blowing by, which was terrible and unsettling.
"Why hasn't the skull-chopping guy come back yet?" The carpenter's woman muttered so in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it, because there was no one around her. Is it impossible to talk to the old tree yourself?
The carpenter's woman waited for a while, but did not see the man come back, so she came out of the house, braved the chaotic snowflakes, and walked along the ancient road of the deserted village. As the carpenter's woman walked along the creek outside the deserted village, she could not see a person, nor could she hear anyone talking.
After walking for a while, the woman of the carpenter Zhong did not dare to go, because it was said that there was an unclean place in front of her, and it was not good to walk at night, not to mention that she was still a woman. Isn't this going to run into evil or something, and it's going to be over? However, the carpenter's woman was convinced that her man was not far ahead, so she was no longer afraid and walked forward.
It's really dangerous to go here, you have to go through a deserted tomb, and in this deserted tomb, the legend is quite strange things happening. Therefore, people in deserted villages generally can't walk alone at night, for fear that if they encounter something that shouldn't be touched, what should they do at that time? Besides, such a good woman as Carpenter Zhong's woman, if she walked alone at night, the danger factor would be greater, but I don't know what happened to this Carpenter's woman, she really walked alone to this deserted grave that night.
The night was quite thick, there were few stars in the sky, and the long river was desolate and cold, especially when it was snowing heavily. The carpenter's woman walked and walked, and couldn't help crying, how could she have so no conscience, and she didn't come back at night, so she had to walk alone in this deserted grave by herself in the snow and wind.
I don't know why, when the woman of the carpenter Zhong walked into this deserted grave, she couldn't walk anymore, and her legs seemed to weigh thousands of pounds, but just now, she still had a lot of strength all over her body, and she didn't have the strength at this time, what was going on? Could it be that someone sees himself beautiful and is reluctant to go by himself, so he pulls himself in? But when I looked back, I saw nothing but a broken stone.
When the carpenter's woman couldn't walk, she didn't force it, so she sat on a cold stone, or just waited, anyway, her man would definitely pass by here when he returned. However, the carpenter's woman was mistaken, and her man went out to work today, but instead of going this way, he went to the other side of the river.
The carpenter's woman sat alone on the stone at this time, looking at the boundless desolate grave, and looked up at the snowstorm, and coughed for a moment.
