The gods are vicious, and the Lord is sick and weeping.

It is recorded in the "Book of Discipline Defense" and stated in the "Chronicle Calendar": "The hanger is also the fierce god of the year." The sickness and weeping of the Lord dwells in the second hour after the year. The place of reason is not to build and ask for medical treatment, and to send filial piety and mourning. ”

At the junction of Xuzhou, Jiangsu and Linyi, Shandong, there is a village called Han Village, the northernmost part of Han Village, there is a deserted house, the area of the deserted house is not large, two tile houses and a courtyard. In the courtyard, there are large locust trees that are thick and thick by one person, and in summer, the locust flowers are full of trees, which attract children from the village to come and pick them, and take them home to steam rice and stir-fry chili peppers.

It is said that a family of three who moved from the village lived in the village, and there is still some distance from the village, so the family did not have much contact with the village. Over time, some people in the village who love to chew their tongues talked in private, some said that the family had fled, some said that they had come behind the lawsuit, and everyone had different opinions and said anything.

Once, an idler wanted to get close to the family, but after knocking on the door for a long time and no one responded, he spied through the crack in the door, and when he saw that weeds had grown in the yard, the two houses were also closed and locked. As a result, the news of the family's disappearance came out of the village, and the house was deserted. A speculative person pried open the door and wanted to go in to find some benefit, and found that the hall was full of tables, chairs, benches, beds and furniture, and there was no sense of abandonment, and the other room was sealed.

Rumors spread that the deserted house was haunted, but despite this, it could not resist the curiosity of the children in the village.

One day, a ten-year-old boy in the village secretly went to the deserted house to pick locust flowers, and the boy kicked open the gate and jumped up to the locust tree, because most of the locust flowers in the middle were picked, and the boy climbed close to the canopy. It is nearly seven or eight meters high from the ground, but there are many locust flowers on the branches, and the slightly lower ones are also much more immature, The boy looked down at the position from the ground, and his heart was slightly alarmed.

This distance was just enough to see through the glass on the door from top to bottom to see the inside of the sealed room, and the boy steadied himself and looked inside curiously.

At that moment, a girl's withered face suddenly pressed against the glass, and two black and hollow eyes stared out. happened to meet the gaze of the boy who was climbing on the tree, and a miserable scream, the boy wanted to quickly retreat to the ground to escape, but in a hurry, he fell down in the air, and the boy who fell heavily on the ground immediately foamed at the mouth and passed out.

By the time the family found him, it was already dark, and everyone rushed the boy to the hospital, where they found that the boy's right leg had been fractured and he was in a severe coma. It happened that a man surnamed Shenhan in the village took medicine, and saw through that the boy was hit by a ghost hanger, so he stepped forward and took the boy's family to the corner and asked.

"Did your child go to some unclean place?"

The boy's family hurriedly told the story of the deserted house, and Kong Shenhan immediately replied when he heard it.

"This is a ghost who is haunted, that ghost should be the ghost of the deserted house, if you want to completely cure your baby's illness, you have to go to the deserted house tonight to burn some paper money and send it."

When the boy's family heard this, they hurriedly asked Shenhan for help, and Kong Shenhan, who was a villager in the township, did not shirk and decided to help deal with the matter.

That night, Kong Shenhan took the boy's family to the deserted house, and the big locust tree sheltered most of the sky of the deserted house, and the depressed deserted house looked even more eerie. The boy's father lit the paper money he brought under the locust tree, and muttered in his mouth, "The child is ignorant, the ghost is wrong, don't be angry, do good deeds and let go..."

When he turned to the third circle, there was a sudden knock on the door of the sealed room, and everyone was shocked, and the incense in Kong Shenhan's hand floated strangely to the room. The knock on the door grew louder and more urgent, as if something was about to crash out, and the boy's family was terrified, and if it weren't for Kong Shenhan's presence, they would have fled.

Kong Shenhan calmed everyone and walked towards the closed room, and when he was five or six paces away, the knock on the door stopped abruptly. Everyone's hearts were slightly relieved, Kong Shenhan turned his head and motioned to the boy's father to burn the rest of the paper money, and wanted to go to the closed room to check closely, just when he was about to take a step, a little girl's face appeared on the glass on the door of the sealed room, staring at Kong Shenhan with a sly smile.

Kong Shenhan's face changed, and he immediately retreated, and said.

"The soul comes and goes, and there is no life, if there is a future, tell me the dream."

After that, he beckoned everyone to exit the deserted house, locked the door, and pasted a yellow note, faintly, bursts of crying came from inside the deserted house.

The next day, Kong Shenhan hurriedly found the boy's house again, and asked the boy's father to call the police, saying that there was a murder in the deserted house, and after the police dealt with it, he would go to the deserted house to burn some paper money and sacrifice some tribute, and the boy's condition would naturally improve.

With the inspection of the local police station, it was found that there were two female corpses, one large and one small, in the sealed room of the deserted house, the big one was hanged on the beam, the small one was starved to death, and the door of the room was scratched, which should have been caught by the little girl before she died. It was preliminarily judged that the two female corpses were mother-daughter relationships and homicides, because the hanged mother was still nearly two meters away from the ground, and it was impossible for her to hang herself, and the male owner who disappeared was listed as a suspect.

Eventually, the deserted house was sealed with stones by the villagers, and the boy's illness gradually improved, but his feet were left disabled, and occasionally he could hear the cries of women when he passed by at night, until a few years later, when the deserted house was bulldozed, and things slowly subsided.

The third fold of Wuhan Chen's "Jade Pot Spring" in the Yuan Dynasty: "Ask what is hitting the funeral door, what is the problem of hanging guests, what month is afraid of the annual disaster, desperately dying in Yinghua Village." ”

The third fold of the Ming Dynasty's anonymous "Pang Plundering Four Counties": "Sitting in the office bumped into Taibai, committed hanging guests, sat in the official hall, and made a big market." ”

The third fold of the Ming Dynasty's anonymous "Hitting Dong Da": "When you meet this gangster, you are mourning today." Mo is a natural hanger, an iron-beaten King Kong. ”

Superstitious beliefs believe that encountering evil spirits will bring disaster, but there are also some folk stories about people who are not afraid of ghosts and evil. There is a way, people are bold and upright, even if they encounter ghosts and hangers, as long as they stand upright, they can make evil not suppress righteousness and defeat all demons and monsters.
