Chapter 22: Damn the Snake
I saw an old townsman take the lead in raising his cane high towards Song Xiangu and scolded: "Snake spirit! You have caused us to lose our conscience! We're not done with you! ”
The old man's voice was choked, and he was about to smash Song Xiangu's head with his cane.
Several surrounding townspeople also rolled up their arms and sleeves and began to rush forward, and Song Xiangu was so frightened that she hurriedly hugged her head and begged for mercy.
"Enough! What's the use of killing her now? ”
With a loud shout, the little white rabbit walked out of the crowd, and his eyes were red and tearful.
I hurriedly stepped forward and asked the little white rabbit, "Little white rabbit, what's the matter?" What did the Gray family leave for everyone? ”
The little white rabbit calmed down his emotions for a while, and then he opened his mouth and briefly told us about his experience after leaving.
When the white mouse died, it left three things for my sister and me, one was the nest of lucky little mice, the second was a bamboo basket, and the third was a locust branch.
The little mouse was entrusted to us by the white mouse before he died, and the bamboo basket was used to hold the little mouse, so what do the locust branches represent? I wondered if it had something to do with the last thing the white mouse said was left for the town.
Later, when I went to the county town to find Lao Yan for help, I told the little white rabbit about it, and the little white rabbit was really smarter than me.
At first, the little white rabbit thought that the locust branch would represent the locust tree in the yard of a certain family in the town.
But when I thought about it, I found that it was wrong, there were people who planted trees in the yard, but there were no people who planted locust trees.
Because there is a folk saying, it is called 'no mulberry is planted in front of the house, and no locust is planted behind the house'.
The mulberry word is mourned together, and the Huai person is like a ghost, and the house is haunted after the funeral, and the two are very unlucky.
However, if the locust branch left by the white mouse represents a locust tree, the locust tree must have been planted in the house.
Because when the white mouse told me and my sister about this, he did not hand over the locust branch to us in any other way, but deliberately placed the locust branch in the bamboo basket containing the little mice, which also has a mystery.
The gray family in Jiuhe Town has been ruined, only the last nest of little mice survived, they have no home, but the white mice hide them in the bamboo basket, the bamboo basket is their home, the locust branch is placed in the mouse 'home', isn't it still in the courtyard?
On the way back, the little white rabbit thought about it for a long time, and finally suddenly realized.
People belong to yang, wild immortals and evil charms belong to yin, people's courtyards are yang houses, and the courtyards of wild fairies and evil spirits naturally refer to yin houses.
But in the eyes of those wild immortals and evil spirits, there is never any such thing as a yin house, so what this yin house refers to must be a person's yin house.
So the White Rabbit inquired and took the townspeople to a cemetery outside the town.
This cemetery is naturally not the one that the town elder went to when he was 'moving mountains and reclaiming the sea', there are a total of six cemeteries around our town, after all, the cemetery was not popular in a poor and remote place like ours in those years, so the burial of the ancestors of all families and ethnic groups was relatively chaotic.
Of the six cemeteries, only one of the cemeteries is planted with locust trees, or more precisely, the cemetery happens to be wrapped in a wild locust forest.
The little white rabbit led everyone to the cemetery and searched for it, and soon locked on a strange grave in the cemetery.
The grave was not large, and there was no monument in front of the grave, and it seemed to be abandoned for a long time, but it was the only grave in the whole cemetery that did not grow grass on the soil, as if it was often carefully tended.
How could someone take such meticulous care of the small grave bag that doesn't even stand on the monument?
This inevitably attracted the attention of the little white rabbit.
So the little white rabbit picked up the floating soil in front of the grave, and a small stone platform was unexpectedly revealed under the soil, and a line of ghost-like characters was faintly engraved on the platform, which was five horizontal rows of characters.
Others didn't know it, but the little white rabbit recognized it at a glance as an ancient Manchu script.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was 'South Mao North Horse' in Xuanmen and called it in the world, the south runs through the lungs of Sanmao Road, refers to Mao Mountain, and the north longitudinal dragon Xing a horse first, refers to the horse fairy.
The position of the horse fairy is derived from the oldest witch religion in the hot summer land, and it was enshrined as the state religion in the Qing Dynasty.
Originating from the Qing Dynasty's birthplace of Longxing, the Horse Immortal is the subtlety of the fact that it can establish an inspirational connection with the ghosts and immortals such as the Flower Three Immortals, the Five Elements Immortals, and the Breeze and Smoke Souls who are engaged in the cultivation of the world, which is the so-called psychic possession of the folk.
And because this culture is inextricably linked with the Manchu people or with the ancestors of the Manchu people, the various gods and immortals who started from the Northeast mostly use Manchu as a symbol and communicate in Manchu.
Because of this, according to the Ma Xiandang saying, Manchu is also called the 'cosmic language' for the communication between the 'immortals'.
The little white rabbit was born in the Baijialou metaphysical family, she naturally understands these things, just one look, she recognized that what was written on the stone platform was 'Jiuhe Town Doufu'.
"This is it! Dig! ”
The little white rabbit hurriedly told the townspeople to dig with shovels, and dug more than three feet down, and saw golden grains of grain appearing in the soil, including corn, wheat, and millet......
The townspeople were dumbfounded, and no one had ever seen grain buried in a grave.
The little white rabbit let people continue to dig, this digging, actually dug out thousands of catties of grain under the grave, someone from the grain depot took a grain bag and poured it, enough to fill more than 60 bags.
And it was only then that the townspeople finally understood the painstaking efforts of the Gray Immortals.
On weekdays, these rats hide in the dark, stealing, picking, or finding, hoarding grain one by one, and waiting until the time of the catastrophe, and then give back to the world to save the suffering of the world.
This was a great merit, but it was mistaken by the townspeople for being a thief who stole disaster relief food, smoked rat holes, and released snakes to eat rats until they were destroyed......
For a while, the townspeople at the scene all burst into tears, and some even broke down emotionally, knelt down and began to kowtow desperately to the grain full of graves......
The little white rabbit couldn't help choking, glanced at the remorseful crowd and snorted coldly: "The rats are afraid that you will starve, and I don't know how much grain has been secretly put into the rice jars and noodle jars of your families. Take a look! This is your father's last legacy before he dies! ”
As soon as the little white rabbit said this, the crowd was even more wailing.
After listening to the little white rabbit, my sister and I couldn't help but cry.
Looking back on the past three years, the two of us begged for food everywhere, let others bully, and established an inextricable relationship with the rats intentionally or unintentionally, and also had to be rescued by the rats again and again.
However, their kindness is really regrettable in the end, but in the end, they are all destroyed......
In the house, just as everyone was glaring at Mrs. Song who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, a weak voice came from the bed-
"Damn the snake...... You damned snakes......"
