Wearing white armor as an immortal, curing all kinds of diseases into the world, the nails are sharp and sharp, and the eight directions attract wealth for hundreds of days.

There is a saying that is not very widely circulated, saying that hedgehogs are divided into white ashes, and the white ones can become immortals, and the gray ones fall into demons, so the white immortals that everyone is familiar with are actually transformed by white hedgehogs. Bai Xian is generally a loner, often showing people as an old man, using his own cultivation to practice medicine to save people, and occasionally giving money to people who are destined, so in people's hearts it is the image of the fortune doctor, but there are exceptions to everything.

My family was one of the first people in our village to build a house, but in the countryside, there are many conflicts caused by building houses, and some have even escalated to the point of fighting and fighting. should be neighbors living in harmony, but because of their own little interests or the so-called feng shui fortune, they don't get along with each other, and they secretly set you a trap to make a stumbling block, but this is actually human nature.

Building a house is a big deal in the countryside, and there are many rules to pay attention to, and these have to find professionals to help, in fact, they are the contractors, but these contractors in the village are different from other places, and they will more or less have a little side-by-side technique. Coincidentally, my neighbor is this kind of person, and the relationship between the two families is not bad, and it is even more coincidental that the two of us are going to build a house at the same time.

In this way, my parents naturally began to discuss with their neighbors, agreeing on a series of issues such as the height of their respective houses, the width of the alleys between houses, and so on. The neighbor was also very enthusiastic, and also took the initiative to introduce a group of construction workers to us, and there were many problems to help, of course, we are also very grateful, my dad did not give the neighbor a cigarette and alcohol in return.

If the two families maintain their relationship until the end, they will be fine, but it is like a curse in the dark. At the beginning, the things in the house were lost, and it was the kind of iron plate used to build the house, from one piece to three or four pieces later. The village is not big, this iron plate is big and cumbersome, first of all, the thieves outside the village were ruled out, and after some search by the family, the clues were really found.

Some relatives with good relations saw someone burying a batch of iron plates used for building a house in the yard, and this family is the home of our neighbor's father-in-law, and the person who buried the iron plates is also a neighbor. This surprised my parents and made them completely angry, but because they had no evidence and no certificate, and they couldn't break into other people's houses to verify, for the sake of prudence, my father learned about it from the side, and sure enough, it was the neighbor who did it.

Catch the traitor and catch the thief, catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, you didn't see others stealing with your own eyes, and if others don't admit it, you really can't do it, and the neighbor's death doesn't admit that the two families have completely broken up. In order to vent the evil anger, my mother scolded at the door every day, anyway, how ugly it sounded and how to scold, during that time, the people in the village were talking about it, and I thought that things would slowly develop like this until they forgot about it, but then it became a little outrageous and terrifying.

One rainy evening, my dad took me to clean up the construction waste around the house, which had not yet been built, and there were a lot of rubble and steel bars scattered on the ground. I picked up some steel bars along the outskirts of the house, when a black thing suddenly appeared in front of me, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be a big hedgehog, half the size of a basin in the house.

So I hurriedly called my father to come and see, and while I was shouting, the hedgehog did not escape, but just drilled into my newly built house, but before it could climb in, it was caught by my father. The hedgehog was so big that the few whiskers at the corners of its mouth were a little white, and it seemed to be able to see the emotions of a human in its eyes, and I was attracted for a moment, and I couldn't take my eyes off it.

This big hedgehog was put into a water tank by my father, the depth of the tank is about one meter three or four, and the space inside is also very large, the hedgehog is just right to put in, because the inner wall of the tank is smooth, it can't run out. I just stood aside and watched it keep crawling out, this hedgehog is not like other hedgehogs I've ever seen, it shrinks into a ball when it meets people, it desperately wants to crawl out, as if someone has set a goal for him.

I watched for a long time, until my mother called me to dinner, and when I was leaving, I found a wooden board to cover the mouth of the cylinder, and pressed a few large stones on it, and of course, a thumb-sized ventilation slit. Half an hour later, I took half an apple from the kitchen and ran to the tank, removed the plank and looked inside, and found that the hedgehog was no longer crawling, but shrunk in a corner to rest, I threw the apple into it, and pestled it with a stick, but it was still motionless.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and I didn't want to get wet, so I covered the planks and pressed the stones, turned around and ran back to my room, thinking that I would take a closer look the next day. But that night, I encountered some strange things, my family was demolished at that time, so the family lived in three huts at the end of the yard, and the water tank for the hedgehog was about five or six meters away from the hut, in the middle of the new house and the temporary living hut.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, while lying in bed, I suddenly heard someone coughing in the yard, intermittently, a bit like a grandfather who was choking on a cigarette. I thought I had misheard and didn't care, until my brother asked me if my grandfather was coming, and I realized that someone was indeed coming. I hurriedly got up and went out to check, but when I stretched out my head and looked out, there was not even a figure in the courtyard, it was pitch black, only a lamp on the edge of my father's new house shone brightly.

The rain had not stopped, and it was dripping, and it made a ticking sound on the tarpaulin in the yard, and just when I was confused, I suddenly heard another cough, and I heard the sound very clearly. Now, my hairs stand on end, isn't it haunted in the middle of the night?

In a panic, there was another cough, so frightened that I quickly closed the door slammed shut, and the old mother sitting on the side was also startled, and looked up and asked me who was outside, and I trembled and said that there was no one outside. Mom also felt strange when she heard it, but she didn't talk to me anymore, but got up and went out to check, and then Dad slept in the hall of the new house, and she was not afraid, she just thought that someone was coming.

I followed my mother out, and the mother who was standing at the door asked who it was, but there was no other sound in response except the sound of the rain. At this moment, another cough came, and my mother was bold, and instead of panicking, she quickly locked on to the source of the sound, and I watched her walk straight to the water tank, and then remove the stones and planks. At this time, the coughing sound came again, and this time even I could hear the source of the sound, and it actually came from this jar, that is, this coughing sound was made by this hedgehog.

I couldn't accept it for a while, I didn't expect the hedgehog to make a human-like coughing sound, and my mother put the planks and stones back together, and then came back to beckon me to sleep, and said a fuss to me. Seeing that it was a misunderstanding, I lost interest, after all, a rainy night is still not as comfortable as being in a bed.

I don't know how long it took, but a urge to urinate woke me up from my sleep, so I put on a piece of clothing and rushed out, ran to a random corner of the yard and began to pee. In a daze, there were a few dry coughs in my ears, I subconsciously looked at the water tank where the hedgehog was placed, and after my eyes adjusted to the dark night environment, I was horrified to see a person out of the water tank.

I saw the man staggering out of the water tank, and then slowly walked towards the new house, and in the dim light, I could see the general appearance of the man, an old man, wearing a gray robe. Maybe it didn't notice my presence, or maybe the shadow in the corner helped me, and the old man was only a few meters away from me as he got out of the tank and into the new house.

Then I saw that the old man's vision was getting more and more blurred, and when he was about to enter the new house, he disappeared completely, which was a short time, but it was like a second for me. I reacted, I ran back to the house and jumped on the bed, and the whole person trembled and hid in the quilt to listen to the movement outside, vaguely feeling that the old man was standing next to me, and he might lift the quilt and eat me at any time.

I don't know how I fell asleep in the end, anyway, I just slept until dawn, and when I got up, it didn't rain anymore, and my parents were cleaning up this thing outside. I immediately ran to the water tank to see the hedgehog, to see if the old man who had crawled out of the tank last night was a dream, or if something was really at work, so I removed the stones, took the planks, and looked at the water tank, and all I saw was the empty bottom of the tank and the half of the apple.

My parents didn't care because they were too busy, and who would believe it when it came out of the mouth of one of my children, but since then, our family has been unlucky. First, a worker accidentally fell and was injured, and then my father found that the foreman did not build according to his drawings, so he quarreled and then replaced a new group of people, and then it didn't work, and my father and mother also quarreled for this.

In short, a lot of things didn't go well after that, everyone's temper was inexplicably bigger, and it was easy to contradict each other if there was a little conflict, so the progress of building a new house in my family was also put on hold, and I stopped working for nearly a month, until a relative of my grandmother's family found out the reason.

My grandmother's house is not far from my house, and it is only a matter of one or twenty minutes by bicycle, and during the shutdown, my parents were contacting the new foreman and the construction team. At the wine table, my mother told my relatives about the matter, and the relative was an old foreman, and I felt a little strange when I listened to my mother's narration.

The next morning, my relatives came to our house, but he came alone, and after saying hello to my parents, I took my father around the new house. It didn't take long for me to hear my father's scolding from behind the new house, and then I saw my father walking out with a white cloth bag, followed by the relative, and my mother also hurriedly stepped forward to ask, I didn't hear what to say, anyway, the relative sat for a while and left, still holding the white cloth bag in his hand.

After some time, a new construction team came, and then the construction began again, fortunately, there were no more accidents later. But one thing that made me feel strange was that my mother scolded Huai more often and more fiercely, and it wasn't until I overheard my parents' chat that I knew the general situation of the matter.

It turned out that the white cloth bag was found in the northeast corner of my family's new house that day, and it was buried in the soil under a large stone, but it was not buried deep, it was found by a relative who was a contractor, and what made people think about it was that there was a dead hedgehog inside. When it was dug out, it had already begun to rot and attract maggots, and I heard relatives say that this is a curse, which will have a certain impact on the feng shui of the house and the luck of the owner, and the people who do this kind of thing are most likely from their line.

This matter came to an end here, and the neighbors went out to work that year and rarely came back, and when my house was built, my parents also embarked on the army of migrant workers. It wasn't until a few years ago that our family went back to our hometown for the New Year, and we saw the neighbor's family again, but according to what I heard, they have been out for many years, and the husband and wife are also sick and miserable.

As for the old man I saw that night, I think it was most likely a white fairy, maybe the remains buried under the stones were his descendants, and when the white fairy wanted to rescue him, he found out that it was too late, so he was angry with our two families.
