In the notebook "Strange Tales of Mountains and Rivers", the shadow of Kim Tae-che can be found in each of the events recorded from 1928 to 1929, but when I look at the records of the year 1930, I find that all the records are basically all kinds of strange little stories.

In the entire 1930 record, there is no record of Jin Taezhi, and she seems to have completely disappeared, as if she is not in the memory of the entire Shanhe Village, or even the person who sorted out this notebook.

I counted that in 1930 alone, there were 73 supernatural events that happened in various households or in which people encountered, and the opening of these seemed to be related to a time travel or parallel space event.

On January 1, 1930, an army came to Shanhe Village, and the villagers did not know where the soldiers were coming, so they hid back home when they saw it from afar, and later the team directly found Lizheng's home.

Li Zheng He Wencai walked out of the house, and saw that so many people came at once, his legs were a little weak, and he didn't know if he or Shanhe Village had something going on, so he hurriedly asked with a smile, but at a glance he saw that the chief of the township was standing in front of the team, so he was a little relieved.

It was the prefectural gendarmerie, headed by the captain of the gendarmerie, and two Japanese. Both the captain and the security chief looked at these two Japanese as if they were looking at them.

"He Wencai, I heard that there is an ancient tomb of a woman in the Ming Dynasty in your village, and it is rumored that this woman has gained immortality?" The chief asked.

"Master Bao, this is a rumor, on the evening of August 15 last year, Du Xiaoqing of our village came back late from going out to run errands, and passed by the cemetery of Xiaoshanbao, saying that he saw Nali Caimo facing the moon in front of the tomb...... Ah, talk to yourself. But I don't believe in this matter, if you want to say that this person has been able to live forever, what is he doing in front of the desolate mountain cemetery? So I said that it was Du Xiaoqing's nonsense. Inside, he analyzed it flatteringly.

"Whoever asked your opinion, go and find Du Xiaoqing, Master Taijun will ask in person." The chief said angrily.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Li Zheng ran out in a puff of smoke and quickly pulled Du Xiaoqing over.

"Du Xiaoqing, tell the old man, you saw Li Caimo in the Xiaoshanbao cemetery on the night of August 15 last year?"

"What? What is the night of August 15, what Li Caimo? "The second monk Du Xiaoqing was confused.

"Oh, that's what happened last year, when you passed by the Xiaoshanbao cemetery on the night of August 15!" Rizheng is getting impatient.

"August 15, August 15, I'm at home, what am I going to Xiaoshan to do during the holidays?"

"Hey, I said Du Xiaoqing, you ......"

Then the direction of things became more and more weird, no matter how Du Xiaoqing asked, that is, he didn't go anywhere on the night of August 15 last year, so he had dinner at home, ate a moon cake, and went to sleep. I didn't go out of the village to do anything at all, and I don't remember passing by the Xiaoshanbao cemetery, passing by the ancient tomb of Li Caimo and seeing Li Caimo's affairs.

Li Zheng thought that Du Xiaoqing was playing with him, and he felt that he had no face in front of the official master from the city, so he pulled Du Xiaoqing, took everyone to Du Xiaoqing's house, and called Du Xiaoqing's family to come out for questioning.

When asked about Du Xiaoqing's departure from the village on August 15 last year, Du Xiaoqing's wife shook her head and said:

"No, sir, no one in our family has ever been out of the village on August 15 last year, so we spent the holiday at home."

Then Du Xiaoqing's parents also insisted that Du Xiaoqing was at home for the holiday on the night of August 15 last year, and he didn't go out all day.

Du Xiaoqing also has three children, and the eldest is seven or eight years old, Li Zheng asked the eldest child again, and the eldest child said:

"On August 15 last year, my dad was always at home, and at night at home he ate noodles, beaten leeks and marinated seeds, and mooncakes after eating."

Now Li Zheng He Wencai was completely confused, Du Xiaoqing met Li Caimo on August 15 last year, and the next day he went to find himself and said vividly, he was unwilling, thinking that Du Xiaoqing was not brainy, or did he not believe his words at that time, and deliberately took revenge on himself?

Thinking of this, He Wencai was also angry, and immediately found several people present when Du Xiaoqing came to him last year to tell him about this matter, and asked them one by one.

The result made him even more unbelievable, everyone said that they hadn't heard Du Xiaoqing say it, and they didn't know that there was an ancient tomb called Li Caimo in Xiaoshanbao. Even Lizheng's wife and parents said they hadn't heard of it.

This incident has been in trouble for most of the day, and the villagers have heard the news, and the gendarmerie has only come to the village to inquire about things, not to arrest people, and they have all dared to come out, standing by one to watch the excitement.

At this time, a woman named Lu Dazhu said next to her that she had heard Du Xiaoqing talk about what happened on the night of August 15 last year, saying that Li Caimo came out of the ancient tomb and said that she had obtained the method of immortality, and she was afraid of being remembered, so she could only pretend to be a ghost.

After Lu Dazhu finished speaking, several villagers also nodded yes, saying that they had heard it too.

Other villagers looked at these people with very unbelievable and unfamiliar expressions, what they said was really too strange, what Li Caimo, what ancient tombs, what immortality, they had never heard of.

It's useless to argue like this, He Wencai proposed to go to the Xiaoshan Bao Cemetery to see if it is okay, a bluestone tomb like high and low cannot run.

So the gendarmerie and the villagers who watched the bustle went in the direction of the hill cemetery.

He Wencai took the lead, and after arriving at the Xiaoshanbao cemetery, he went straight to the ancient tomb of Nali Caimo, but when he arrived, he was dumbfounded.

In front of this small grave bag, there is a wooden tablet standing crookedly, the wood has rotted and cracked, and I can only barely make out the words on it: "Tomb of Li Shu".

"Hey, this, this, what's going on, what about Li Caimo's tomb?"

"yes, why is there such a big tomb gone?"

"Who is this Li Shu?"

……

"What are you talking about, hasn't this tomb been here all along, how can there be a person named Li Caimo?"

"That's right, isn't this always Li Shu's grave, she is from Mongolia, his father is an official over there, and he will go south after returning to his hometown, she died on the road, and we will be buried here when I pass by."

"Yes, this is Li Shu."

……

"What Li Shu, I haven't heard of this name, it's Li Caimo."

"That's it, didn't Liu Fangdong come to rob the tomb the year before last, but he also met Li Caimo, and I also came to give her an offering every year, so why is the tomb gone."

"Yes, why is such a big tomb gone, and I also come to burn paper every Qingming Festival to make an offering to her."

"Liu Fangdong also has a headache and dies, or you can ask him."

……

All of a sudden, in the cemetery of Xiaoshanbao, the two groups of people were arguing, which made Li Zheng even more headache, what happened here, why did so many people collectively lose their amnesia, if it was someone else, he could also wonder if these people were going to play what they had discussed in advance, but now even his father and wife said that there was no tomb of Li Caimo......

Thinking about it, Li Zheng He Wencai couldn't help but shudder fiercely, and several smart villagers saw He Wencai's reaction, and they also seemed to think of something, and they all shrank their necks and stopped talking.

"That's not my family's flower plate, last year's Mid-Autumn Festival came to Li Caimo's tomb to put steamed buns, I was thinking about putting it overnight and getting it the next day, but I couldn't find it when I came the next day, I was still thinking about who took it, it was blown into this trench by the wind."

One of the villagers glanced into the ditch next to him, jumped down and picked up a printed porcelain plate.

Everyone stopped talking, some quietly shrunk their shoulders, and some secretly shivered.

The two Japanese looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths raised into subtle smiles.

None of Le Chaem's tomb was found, and the Japanese and the gendarmerie left.

Half of the villagers in Shanhe Village couldn't figure out why Li Caimo's ancient tomb disappeared like this, while the other half were strange how those people said that there was a big tomb of Li Caimo, and there was obviously only a small tomb bag of a woman named Li Shu.

Since this incident, all kinds of strange things have begun to be staged in every household in Shanhe Village every day.

Like what:

The mother and daughter of the Wang family sat together to hold the soles of their shoes and chatted, and the mother said that my shoulder hurts, you come and rub it for me.

The daughter put down the half-contained soles of her shoes and went to rub her mother's shoulders.

Before her mother got married, when she was a girl at home, her mother was patriarchal and always beat and scolded her, once because of a trivial matter, she picked up a kitchen knife and slashed at her, she turned around and ran, and the kitchen knife was cut on the shoulder.

Fortunately, there was an old doctor in the village who was very capable, and immediately sewed her with a needle and thread, and put an herb on it, and the wound healed in two days, but a large scar appeared high and raised in the place of the wound.

Every time the mother has a shoulder pain, her daughter rubs her shoulder, and she will touch the big raised scar a few times, and then the mother will tell her about being cut by her mother when she was a child.

But this time, the daughter didn't find the location of the scar after touching it for a long time, so she kept touching it, and the mother asked, what are you touching?

The daughter said, look for the scar on the shoulder, why is it missing. When did my mother say I had a scar on my shoulder? The daughter said about it, and the mother said don't talk nonsense, why could my mother cut me with a knife?

The daughter was unwilling, and pulled open her mother's clothes to see, only to see that her mother's shoulders were smooth and flat, and there was no scar at all.

The daughter was very scared, but she didn't dare to insist on anything, and later secretly told some relatives she knew, some relatives said that her mother never had a scar on her shoulder, and some said that there was indeed a scar. When the daughter met her uncle once and told him about it, the uncle said with certainty that there was absolutely no such thing. At that time, her grandmother had already died, and there was no way to prove it.

Another example:

The two young couples of the Li family, after waking up in the morning, they discussed what to eat for breakfast before they got up in bed.

The daughter-in-law said that the two bean buns left over from yesterday were hot, one for each person, and then made a pot of porridge and vegetables, so she fried cabbage and ate it.

The man said that there were no bean buns left yesterday, didn't we eat the bud rice batter last night.

My daughter-in-law said when to eat the bud rice batter, I don't like to eat that thing the most, how can I do it, we ate sticky bean buns last night.

As they spoke, the two of them argued, so they got up and went to the kitchen together.

When I opened the lid of the pot, I saw that there was half a pot of leftover sorghum rice in the pot, and there was a bowl of sauce and a few potatoes next to it, but neither of them remembered that they had eaten sorghum rice last night, and as for the potatoes and sauce, they didn't remember eating them.

Another example:

The father and son were going to the field to hunt pesticides, and the son said I should bring the new sickle, cut some grass and come back to feed the cows, and see if the sickle is good by the way.

My father said that when did we have a new sickle in our family, did you buy it?

My son said you didn't buy it last time you went to the market, and you haven't used it once.

My father vehemently denied that he had ever bought a new sickle.

The father and son almost got into an argument, so they went together to look for the corner of the barn where the farm tools were kept, and there was no new sickle, but a new hoe that was unfamiliar.

The father and son wondered whose hoe it was, so the son went to ask his mother, and the mother said that this was the new hoe that your father bought when he was in the market last time, why did he forget it, and he hadn't used it once.

But the memory of this hoe, father and son have absolutely nothing.

Another example:

In the family surnamed Zhang, the mother saw that her son was playing dirty outside, so she heated a pot of water and wanted to bathe her son.

The son was unwilling, so he said dissatisfiedly that his younger brother was also very dirty, why didn't you wash him first?

The mother was terrified, slapped her son hard, and reprimanded sharply: Where did you come from, brother?

My son cried and said I already had a younger brother!

As he spoke, he also took out a bunch of clay figurines, straw gnats, slingshots, etc., which his mother had never seen before, and said that they were all his brother's.

……

I looked at these things recorded in the notes over and over again, and felt that in 1930, a major event must have happened in Shanhe Village that ordinary people could not know, and combined with the complete disappearance of Jin Tazhi from the records of this year, it is very likely that this incident was promoted by Jin Taezhi behind it.

The Japanese, on the other hand, led a team to Shanhe Village to find Li Caimo's tomb.

Li Caimo's method of immortality is just a rumor, how can the Japanese be motivated by a folk rumor? Then they must have very reliable information.

As for what information is available?

Could it really be immortality?

I thought of Guo Mingyue again, my heart tingled, I hope she is really Li Caimo, and she has really explored the way of immortality.
