There is the yellow plum season in the mountainous area of southern Anhui, this kind of weather is also called the return tide day, it is hot and sultry during the day and suddenly it rains at night, and it is wet on the wall.

For me and the glasses, I can still adapt, after all, we all belong to the south, but the strong son is uncomfortable, and after sleeping all night, he suddenly has a soybean-sized rash on his body, itchy and painful, and there is no other way except to scold his mother.

I saw the painful appearance of his ears and cheeks, and I felt that his body seemed to have a rash and some itching, and a big brother in the Soviet Union once said that people's spiritual consciousness is contagious.

Watching Qiangzi scolding and scolding like scraping the wall dust, I couldn't help but say: "The Red Army can survive the long march through the grass and climb the snowy mountains, can this difficulty be overcome?" ”

Qiangzi replied with a bitter look after hearing this, it was not that he was not determined, it was true that the climate in this mountain was not adaptable, and he would have no problems at all for a year and a half, so he changed his posture and continued to scratch the itch.

I thought to myself that he was optimistic, and that he could still pick up on this allergy.

In fact, I have long been thinking about resting for a while, plus the villagers help me from time to time, I can't go hungry at the moment, and I'll wait until Huangmei is over.

Speaking of our educated youth point, it is actually a brick house, which is covered with tiles at an oblique angle, an authentic rural tile house. Since there are only two small back rooms.

Fang Qing, as a female comrade, naturally occupies one room, and the other room is in difficulty, how to distribute the shop that can only squeeze out two gentlemen at most? In the end, I really had no choice but to draw lots, and the three of them took turns to be the head of the hall, and this week it was my turn.

It stands to reason that as soon as it gets dark there is no rest of the activities, except for the occasional meeting that is, we sleep with a pillow, during this time because I am not engaged in physical labor, and the squeaky tickling of the hadron makes me even more unable to sleep, and I borrow a book from my glasses when I have nothing to do.

When I was about to rely on the words to hypnosis, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the house, although there were many people who came to Zhiqing on weekdays, but most of them came to deliver some food or call us to go to the fields during the day, and no one really came to the door at night.

I sat up from the mat and ran to open the door without even putting on my shoes, and it was my big brother Pan Shun standing outside the house.

"Uncle, what's going on so late?" I asked, rubbing my head.

He first poked two eyes into the house, then turned sideways and looked around, and then whispered to me, "Brother, is it inconvenient for you to come out?" ”

Seeing that his mysterious and secretive, as if he was a thief, his expression was completely different from the past, and suddenly he felt that something was wrong, so he took his shirt and umbrella and walked out with him.

"Uncle, what's going on so mysterious?" Seeing that he had led me for more than a mile without saying a word, I asked.

He just nodded his head frequently and said that it was almost there, and I wondered if I didn't get him donkey hooves, and felt that I had deceived him, and was angry to lead me to the mountain and bury me.

Walking along the dirt road to the outside of the village, until I reached the foot of the mountain, I muttered, this guy won't really be the same as I thought, I firmly refused to leave, saying that there is something to say here, if I don't say anything, I will go back, so I pretended to turn around and leave.

Pan Shun grabbed me and whispered, "Okay, okay, right here!" With that, he put the kerosene lamp on the ground, and carefully pulled out a yellow object from his waist.

"Look, is this gold?"

He handed me this thing, and I thought it was unusual as soon as I got my hands on it, although it looked flat and thin, but it was not light, and I crouched down and looked carefully at it by the light of kerosene, and the oval object was carved with patterns, and in the middle was carved a rooster with a big cockscomb, and I guess it was a piece of gold.

"Uncle, where did you get this thing? It can't be that he did something illegal! I also asked quietly, in such a remote mountainous area, not to mention gold, even a big iron pot is a rarity, my first reaction is that he robbed a rich man who was not defeated, after all, he has a bow and a gun at home, and he really has the innate conditions to do crooked things.

He hurriedly waved his hand and said no, then pointed to the mountain and said, "I picked it up above!" ”

I looked at him in surprise, we often go to this mountain on weekdays, why didn't we pick it up, I let him pick it up, to be honest, I don't believe it, and what's even more strange is why he didn't hide it secretly, and he had to tell me.

"Uncle, don't lie to me, so many people can't see this golden thing, why did they show it to you? If it was really stolen, I proposed that the things be returned to their original owners, this is to be squatted, and it depends on whether you take the right route! ”

I persuaded there, but he still categorically denied it, saying that it was really picked up on the mountain.

"Brother, I'm telling you the truth, I called you out this big night because this thing is too evil!" Pan Shun was a little excited as he spoke, and his voice was much louder, and I hurriedly signaled him to lower his throat, so that others would know that I couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

He quickly calmed down, and continued: "You also know about the incident ten years ago, I haven't spoken a word to Lao Li Tou since then, I just want to ask you for a favor and let him see what the gold comes from." ”

It turned out that he called me out because he wanted me to be an intermediary to help him deliver a message, I looked at the gold piece left and right and didn't think it was anything strange, so I asked him what happened, but I didn't expect that his words made me have goosebumps all over my body.

Pan Shun said that a week ago he went up the mountain to hunt, because Huangmei was rainy all day, and the wild beasts in the mountain seemed to hide from the rain, so he thought about digging a pit to make a trap and waiting for the prey to come to the door by itself.

He found an old tree and prepared to dig a hole under the tree, so that he could easily identify the location in the future, but he didn't expect to dig and dig wrong, how did the original brown soil gradually turn dark red, he thought at first that it was not some beast buried in the soil, but he dug a foot deep and did not see a dead animal, but dug out a piece of gold.

He thought that if gold could at least be replaced with a pig, he took advantage of the fact that no one hid the gold piece on his body and brought it home, and the strange thing was that it began on the night when the gold piece was dug up.

The hunter's sense was very keen, and when he was skinning rabbits by the stove, he vaguely felt that someone was shaking behind him, once on the left and then on the right, but when he looked back and right, he could not see a human figure, and when he looked at it, he suddenly heard a woman's laughter, which he said was different from what he heard in ordinary days, like a big opera.

He felt a little embarrassed, threw down the half-stripped rabbit skin in his hand and quickly washed and went to bed, not even daring to blow out the candle.

But when he was sleeping in a daze, he heard the door creak open, he wanted to open his eyes to see, but his body seemed to be pressed by a thousand pounds and could not move no matter what, although he was not small, but he had not seen this strange thing, and he was so shocked that beads of sweat flowed down his forehead.

It was as if something was moving, and slowly moved towards him from the door, and he opened one eye slightly with the strength of the milk, and without looking at it, he saw a woman in a blue robe covered with white snowflakes standing in front of him, with her hair scattered.

He was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes, but suddenly his ears felt hot soup gushing out, and then he heard the shrill laughter of a woman.

I don't know if I was scared and fainted, but when I woke up, the sky was already bright. He wondered if he had had a nightmare last night, but the door did open a crack.

After a few days, he had this happen, and he always felt that there was a woman by his side, and when he fell asleep, he would be unable to move as he did that night, so that he didn't dare to close his eyes at night, and he couldn't stay up at all today, so he thought of asking me to find Lao Li Tou to see if there was a way to solve it.

Half of his eyes were covered by an eyepatch, but he could still clearly see the purple to black eye sockets, as if he had been playing all night.

On the way back from outside the village, he shouted one brother after another, his expression was eager and full of anticipation, and I didn't want him to feel disappointed that he had fallen to the bottom, so I agreed to come down and find Lao Li Tou for him.

Although I think this is a hallucination caused by his nervousness when he finds the gold piece, my help may be a reassuring pill, which will help him somewhat.

"Brother, I'll leave this matter to you, I have to go home, Yanni is home alone." Before walking to the Zhiqing Point, Pan Shun handed the gold piece back to me, patted his arm and asked for it.

"Uncle, don't worry, now I'll go and see if Lao Li Tou is asleep." I also patted him on the arm, a bit of a rush.

Watching him leave step by step, I made another difficulty, I am not familiar with the old Li Tou, I am not sure whether I will help this favor, besides, Marxism does not have a fortune teller, is it a contradiction or conflict for a young man like me to ask for help from feudal superstition.

But this matter can't be known to others, the glasses are timid, and they can't help but say let me turn myself in, Qiangzi is a chatterbox, maybe tomorrow ten miles and eight villages will hear the wind, Fang Qing is bold and careful, but she is a girl, plus this kind of thing is more complicated, I am afraid of affecting her, think about it, or help this time, who let me get drunk and talk big, I didn't get a donkey's hooves to compensate others.

I know where Lao Li lived, because there were only about 20 houses in this village, and his house was on the edge of a low-necked tree at the end of the village, a lonely one, and I heard that there was an old widower who lived in the past.

I went back to the house and lit a kerosene lamp and rushed to the end of the village, this weather has rain and cold rain to stop being hot, this trip to the road vest has long been wet with sweat, although this can also be regarded as a good deed, but I still can't help muttering two sentences: "I didn't have anything before I came, I came to the door for everything, and I am not the village party secretary......."

Once people are in an emotional mood, they don't have time to think about ghosts and gods, so I held back some anger and walked straight to the door of Lao Litou's house, but his door was closed and there was no light in the house.

"Uncle Li, Uncle Li" called two sentences and no one answered the door, probably asleep, maybe I was too lazy to take care of me, I had no choice but to turn around and shouted loudly with luck: "Old Litou!" ”

Unexpectedly, there was an echo in the blink of an eye: "What are you shouting, the bandits are coming?" ”

I hurriedly turned around and knocked on the door, saying that it was me, Xiaoyu, who knew the youth, and had something important to discuss with him.

Lao Li didn't answer, but after a while, there was a bright light in the room, and the door latch was opened.

"Unless the bandits are coming, we will talk about something else tomorrow morning!" As soon as he opened the door and saw me, he yawned impatiently and prepared to close the door.

I hurriedly blocked the door with my left hand, and took out the gold sheet in my pocket with my right hand: "Lieber, have you ever seen this thing?" ”

The door was dark, and I lifted the kerosene lamp close to the gold sheet so that he could see it clearly.

Now he immediately came to the golden body, dragged the gold piece and looked at it carefully, and asked where he got it while looking at it.

When he saw that I didn't speak, he looked around and invited me into the house.

"Little comrade, you have to tell me the truth, where did you get this thing?" Before I could find a place to sit down, he asked anxiously, and I nodded in the direction of the back mountain and said that it was dug up from the mountain.

He did it slowly, looked at the gold piece and said slowly, "Do you know that this thing will kill you?" ”

"Uncle Li, this is gold, not a poison dart, there is no poison." I waved my hand when he said this, but I didn't expect him to even know gold.

Lao Li Tou sneered: "Why didn't I know this was gold?" I mean, this thing is evil, you kid is going to suffer. ”

When I asked me what this meant, Lao Li Tou explained that it was a burial gold, which should be sewn on some kind of lacquered sand utensils, and as far as he knew, this kind of rooster pattern burial gold should be used to calm the coffin.

There will be a lot of people who die, there are those who run out of oil and die of dry life, and there are also those who have suffered misery with injustice, and there are subdivisions of old death, unjust death, vain death, substitute death, disease death, and scared death, in short, there are many types, but the one who uses this kind of rooster burial gold must be a ghostly person who dies in vain.

It is not a normal death, the deceased will contain great resentment, and with resentment into the coffin, it will gather yin and stiff, and over time, under a certain environmental action, the corpse will change, and the rooster will become yang, so some feng shui masters will use the golden rooster to dispel evil.

Lao Li Tou said that now the golden rooster has been dug up, indicating that this is a fierce grave, and the rooster of this town is taken away, which is likely to affect the dead body in the coffin.
