Night 794 The Old Mill

The old mill has secrets, and it is too polite to be destroyed once.

When it comes to places where spooky stories are frequent, people may think of hospitals, schools, abandoned factories, toilets, etc., but few people think of a place where weird and terrifying things happen just as often, and that is the mill!

Mills are rare in big cities, but they are still everywhere in our country, and sadly most of these mill workers are elderly, and the younger ones are middle-aged people in their forties, and very few young people are doing this profession anymore, because this profession is dirty, and the money is not very much, and it is more hard.

If you have the opportunity, you can go to the mill to have a look, preferably the old mill, after you go in, you will find a very strange phenomenon, that is, no matter which direction the doors and windows of the mill are facing, how big the doors and windows are, it is difficult for the sun to shine in, and the inside of the mill always gives people a cold feeling.

There is a superstitious saying that explains this strange phenomenon, they say that plants are actually alive, and when these rice grains are crushed and broken, those lives disappear with them, that is to say, the mill is the place where countless lives have disappeared, and these innocent souls have been gathering in the mill for many years, so that the mill has become a place of shade!

These superstitious sayings are some, believe in some things if you don't believe in them, you can't believe them all, don't believe them 100%, our story today is a story that is mostly true!

Zhang Laohan is almost seventy years old this year, his body is still quite tough, when he was still "engaged in the collective", he was in charge of the team's mill, and then the policy was good, all the land was divided into households, and the collective things were also divided into individual hands according to the equals, and Zhang Laohan had a deep affection for this mill for so many years, so he divided more than one acre of land and gave this mill to himself.

At that time, the village relied on farming to eat, and there were not many people who made money by working, and no land meant no harvest, so everyone said that Zhang Laohan was a fool at that time, and he exchanged more than one acre of fertile land for such a useless thing.

But the people who said these words later closed their mouths again, because after the land was distributed to individuals, they were no longer like collectives, this relied on that, that relied on this, and in order to get more food, they all tried their best to make their land more productive and productive, and they also paid attention to scientific farming!

Scientific farming has improved everyone's harvest, but rice milling has become a big problem, relying on manual grinding of the mill alone, not rushing at all, so more people are willing to spend a little money to go to Zhang Laohan's mill, in order to save worry, and the speed is fast!

In this way, after the autumn harvest, Zhang Laohan can be said to be making money every day, and his income is much more than everyone farming!

However, soon as the price of grain continued to fall, farming could no longer meet everyone's living needs, most of the people went out to work, and Zhang Laohan's mill business also declined all the way, and now the daily harvest is only enough for food and clothing.

However, Zhang Laohan has no children and no daughters, and the whole family is not hungry when he eats alone, relying on the income of the old mill, he still eats and drinks without worry, and his life is quite comfortable.

Now the country has been engaged in rural construction, as the saying goes: "If you want to get rich, build roads first", the original sheep intestine road, to be widened into a big road, around many obstructive old and redundant buildings need to be demolished, coincidentally Zhang Laohan's old mill is also in the scope of demolition.

But it is this old mill that makes it difficult for everyone, because the mill is just an old and dilapidated small house of less than ten square meters, even if it is a subsidy, there is not much money, and the mill is Zhang Laohan's only source of livelihood, if the mill is demolished, the old man will not be able to live, build a new mill, and do not meet the conditions, it will definitely not be approved, if the old man pays for it, such a "huge amount", even if Zhang Laohan himself is sold to make up not enough!

After hearing about this incident, the villagers, you hundred, I eighty gave Zhang Laohan some money, plus the money for demolition compensation, there is still a lot of difference from building a new mill, so the demolition and relocation office sent someone to discuss with the old man whether he could demolish the mill first, and other things will be talked about later.

The old man didn't say anything at first, just squatted at the door of the mill and smoked dry cigarettes, until the staff of the demolition and relocation office said that his mouth was dry, and the old man knocked on the cigarette pouch and the cigarette ash in the pot on the threshold and said: "This old mill has been with me for almost 50 years, my old man has never married a wife in his life, has no children and no daughters, this mill is my wife, my son and daughter, I will not dismantle how much money you give!"

The staff touched a nose of ash, and had no choice but to report to the superiors that the demolition had encountered a little trouble, but unfortunately the superior leader was a guy who could only speak human words, but could not handle personnel, and heard that Zhang Laohan wanted to be a "nail household" to obstruct the demolition work, and immediately took a few people and a bulldozer to forcibly demolish the old mill.

When the old man heard that someone was going to forcibly demolish his mill, he picked up a flat pole and stood guard at the door of the mill, shouting loudly to the demolition team: "If you want to demolish my mill, you can press me down!"

No matter how bold the demolition team is, they don't dare to make trouble easily, and they have no choice but to leave after a long time, at this time someone came up with an idea to say that Zhang Laohan is stubborn and stubborn, but after all, he is just an ordinary peasant little old man, and he is not a fairy, it is impossible to guard the mill every day, we just need to push the mill at night when the old man is not there, and then the old man will be too late even if he opposes the demolition!

This idea is like leaving at least seven or eight days of food, it is simply so bad that you will send someone to guard near the mill that day, and as soon as the old man leaves the mill, he will immediately push the mill!

The old man seems to have guessed the ghost idea of these people, guarding the mill is not leaving, the mill is not demolished, the road can not be constructed on time, the construction period is delayed again and again, the old man guards the mill is also not leaving, the weather is very hot this night, Zhang Laohan gnawed two neighbors to see his poor secretly sent steamed buns, so he hid in the mill to enjoy the cool, because of the high tension in the past few days to look at the demolition team of the people, this relaxation actually fell asleep.

The demolition team, who was also drowsy near the mill, suddenly found that there was no trace of the old man at the door of the mill, thinking that the old man couldn't help but leave, and even didn't check if anyone was in the mill, so they hurriedly beckoned the bulldozer and pushed the mill off, which made Zhang Laohan buried alive in his sleep by the falling masonry tiles!

When the old man woke up, he found that he was dead, and the surroundings were already in ruins, and he couldn't help but cry, and said with great guilt: "Old hero, I'm sorry for you! After so many years, I still haven't been able to keep your last home!"

It was still in the years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a Red Army soldier was injured and recuperated in Zhang Laohan's house, that day the devil came, this soldier was afraid of affecting Zhang Laohan's family, regardless of the serious injury, rushed out of Zhang's house and the devil duel, and finally died unfortunately.

Zhang Laohan was just a child at that time, and Zhang Laohan's father buried the warrior near the mill not far from his home, because this place was relatively heavy and suitable for burying the dead, and at the same time, the mill could be used as a cover, so that the bad guys would not destroy the warrior's grave, so that he would not be able to live in peace after death.

Later, Zhang Laohan insisted on this mill for this reason, but what Zhang Laohan never expected was that the grave of the old hero was not destroyed by those crazy villains, but was destroyed in the hands of the descendants of these heroes who threw their heads and spilled their blood and guarded with their lives, which is really sad, lamentable, and angry!
