216 Chen Laoqi
......
"Bangbang...... It's been a day for three watches......"
The one who played the shift was an old man, his real name was no longer remembered, and those who knew him well called him Chen Laoqi, just because he was the youngest in the family. It looks like he is over the age of the sixtieth year, with a sparse white hair, on the door of the head, it is a bare piece, but there are a few strands of hair on the sideburns, just like the iron crutch Li in the eight immortals, he is a bald man, not only like, his left leg, is also lame, and there are some words about lameness, people in the market mention him, that can say a few words, and it is quite mysterious.
Why is it lame?
In the early years, although the Chen family was not wealthy, it was also considered to be worry-free by relying on the ancestral craftsmanship of generations, and if you want to ask what to do, the butcher, the ancestor who killed the dog, in fact, not only killed the dog, but also had to ask Chen's father to take action when it came across a sacrifice for the New Year's holiday.
The reason why this is so is because the butcher knife in their family is unusual, it is said that it was picked up from the battlefield by the ancestor of the Chen family, don't look at the rust, but all the beasts who struggle again have to tremble when they see the knife, become honest and peaceful, obediently suffer death, and are rumored to be miraculous.
It's just that there are too many things to kill, and there are too many blood and evil spirits, and it is inevitable that some evil things will be encountered, but in the final analysis, there is still no accumulation of yin virtue.
This "yin virtue", it is said that after a person dies, the judge has to go over your merits and demerits in life, the great virtue and great goodness, that is, the good life in the next life, what a life is rich, the children and grandchildren are full and so on, but if it is lacking in virtue, the eighteen layers of hell toss you are not counted, this reincarnation may not even be able to do it.
The Chen family is like this, they gave birth to four sons in a row, and the first three all died unexpectedly, either choking to death by drinking water, or choking to death by eating steamed buns, and the death is more bizarre than the other, which is really unlucky.
As a result, in the end, there was only one seedling left in Mr. Chen, Chen's father and mother were scared day and night, and they were afraid that the child would fall into the pit and drown, so in the past ten years, the couple had not slept peacefully, but fortunately, the son grew up.
But there is a disadvantage, this son is a single seedling, he has to be pampered, he opens his mouth for food, stretches out his hand for clothes, he is not delicate, and he can't do anything, he will have fun.
If you want to say that Chen's father and Chen's mother were alive, it was okay, although Chen Laoqi said that he didn't know anything, but his father and mother looked at it, and he didn't develop any major problems, but one winter, a family invited Chen's father to kill a donkey, set up a banquet, and when he went, he was fine, but when he came back, he was drunk, and the butcher's knife was thrown into the banquet, and halfway through, a group of wild dogs rushed out of the forest with red eyes, and they were bitten to death on the spot, and even the bones were chewed.
That night, Chen Laoqi dreamed that his father was covered in blood, and the skin and flesh were missing and tied to a wooden pillar, and there was a green-faced ghost standing beside him, casting one hundred and eight torture instruments, saying that he had killed too many people before his death, and after his death, he had to be cut by a thousand knives, so scared that he was scared, and he urinated, and when he woke up in shock, he didn't even have time to change his pants, and his old lady also woke up crying, and she also said that she was dreaming, and her dream was exactly the same.
But crying and crying, Chen Mu suddenly screamed in pain, and fell to the ground at once, her eyes were confused, and she was talking nonsense in her mouth, only saying that a dog had bitten her, and the pain was rolling all over the ground.
Chen Laoqi listened to the creepy, but the person was right under his nose, not to mention the dog, he didn't see a single dog hair, but the blame was that Chen's mother on the ground had a blue and purple piece on her arm, all of which were tooth marks bitten out by the dog, and she saw that her old lady was gradually losing her life.
Until she died, Chen's mother shouted for Chen Laoqi to flee quickly.
Seeing that his mother was hurt to death, Chen Laoqi was crying and horrified, almost frightened, and then listened to the old lady let him run, so he ran out with a crawl, and subconsciously looked back at the house, only to see that under the firelight, there were shadows, and there was a group of bloody wild dogs circling around his mother's corpse, and he was even more frightened to jump three feet high, and ran desperately.
But as soon as he ran to the street, Chen Laoqi suddenly sighed, only to feel a heart-piercing pain in his left calf, looked down, and saw that there was a dog head hanging on his leg and stomach, the dog's eyes were round, and his ears and eyes were dripping blood, but it was a freshly slaughtered one during the day, but how could this be the same as life, biting it was not letting go, and he heard the sound of the dog barking behind him, which scared him to run wildly.
I stumbled along the way and didn't know how far I ran, seeing the dog barking getting closer and closer, this Chen Laoqi was frightened, but there was no escape, and he was at the end of the road.
But I heard a "creak", it was the sound of the door shaft turning, it turned out that he inadvertently ran to the edge of the Bao Gong Temple, the door was not pushed and pulled, but it opened by itself.
Chen Laoqi hurriedly rushed into the Bao Gong Ancestral Hall.
Strange to say, when he entered the ancestral hall, the dog's head that had been biting his leg and belly was immediately released.
That night, it is said that the surrounding people not only heard the barking of the dog, but also heard the yamen ascending to the hall, catching the movement of shouting "mighty", after that, this Chen Laoqi lived in the Bao Gong Ancestral Hall, although he saved his life, but one leg was lame.
It was September.
Enduring the heat, this old man finished playing the drum in the first half of the night, carrying a jar of old wine in his hand, and half a roast chicken wrapped in lotus leaves, humming a small tune, while walking towards the Bao Gong Ancestral Hall.
Don't look at the Bao Gong Ancestral Hall, in fact, it's not much better, the people are barely making ends meet, and they have been flooded several times in previous years, so it is inevitable that it will be dilapidated.
Just as he was talking, this old man Chen slammed his feet, the voice in his mouth stopped abruptly, his eyes under a pair of gray eyebrows were wide-eyed, and then he hurriedly hid on the side of the road.
In the middle of the night, the empty and deserted street was suddenly full of paper money, and countless thin and tall figures, all dressed in ancient clothes, holding old umbrellas on their heads, under the trouser legs, were all empty floating, like living people walking step by step.
The wind was gusting, and a faint mist was rising from the street
"Yin soldier borrowed the way, I'll be obedient!"
It was not the first time that Chen Laoqi had experienced such a strange thing, his eyes were closed, he hid to the side, and waited tremblingly.
After a while, when the cold and swishing yin wind was gone, he opened his eyes worriedly, and then spread his feet and ran towards the Bao Gong Ancestral Hall, as if this was the only way to calm him down.
This Bao Gong Ancestral Hall is on the shore of Bao Gong Lake, speaking of this lake, there is also a famous hall, it should be said that there is a lake first, and then there is an ancestral hall.
It is said that before Bao Zheng's death, he had inadvertently stumbled on a crescent-shaped treasure mirror, which was embedded in Bao Qingtian's forehead, this thing is very strange, can distinguish demons and evil ghosts, according to people's hearts good and bad, loyal and treacherous, good and evil, but this mirror after Bao Zheng died, but because of the drum of the Yellow River, sunk in the lake, so this lake is named Bao Gong Lake.
It's just that whether it's true or not, but there is no way to prove.
"Huhuhu......"
But it was said that Chen Laoqi was limping, and finally rushed to the gate of the Bao Gong Ancestral Hall, and he was almost one step in, but his body seemed to suddenly press down a mountain, and he slowly bent down, and his feet were as if they were on the ground.
Moreover, in this ear, a gust of wind hit, as if someone was blowing in his ear in the middle of winter, just like cold water poured into his neck, and he was cold.
"Mr. Chen!"
At this moment, a voice came from behind him.
"Who?"
When the old man heard someone greet him, he subconsciously wanted to turn back.
But suddenly, I heard a sound of breaking the air flying out of the Bao Gong Temple, the black shadow was like electricity, but it was a ghost head knife with a black body and a white blade, flying sideways, facing Chen Laoqi's head, and the old man was scared as if he was stupid, his pupils shrank, and he froze in place and didn't dare to move, but under the crotch of his pants, it was ticking and leaking urine, and the old face was white and bloodless.
"Huh!"
The sound of the wind almost brushed his cheeks.
Immediately, he heard a terrible scream explode in his ears, the scream was so sharp and piercing that anyone who listened to it could jump up, and Chen Laoqi turned his head in a daze.
I saw that the knife had been nailed to the ground, but the shadow under the blade of the knife hung a shadow that couldn't help twisting and struggling.
"Old man, do you dare to turn back when you walk at night?"
The voice fell, at the door of the ancestral hall, but I saw a person walking out with his arms crossed, and then walked to the ghost head knife, pulled out the knife, only in Chen Laoqi's creepy, the shadow hanging on the knife was swallowed into the mouth by the person in front of him like a long whale absorbing water, and chewed it up.
At this time, Chen Laoqi reacted completely, rolled his eyes, kicked his legs, and fell straight down without humming.
