Night 448 Warm pit
It is said that in every small mountain village, there will be such a person, known as the "village keeper", who looks stupid and stupid on weekdays, but is simple and kind, they also have a name called "Zhenling people", because they can protect the safety of one party, so please don't despise these kind and good people, I am a ghost crazy, the story I want to tell today is called "Warm Pit", please give those vulnerable groups at least respect!
There is such a person named Zhang Xiaokai in Taiping Village, and most people call him "Zhang Ersil", because this person's brain is not very bright, and the whole person looks a little silly.
Although Xiao Kai is stupid, he is the "baby bump" of Taiping Village, because there is one thing that ordinary people really dare not do except Xiao Kai.
It turns out that in this Taiping Village, there is such an unwritten rule that if someone dies, the body must be parked at home for a day, this custom is found in many places, it is said that this is to take care of those relatives and friends who are far away, and can see the last side of the deceased.
In addition to this rule, there is also a rule in Taiping Village, which is that during the period when the body is parked, someone must be sent to dig the pit where the coffin of the deceased is buried in advance, and not only that, but also find a living person to sleep in for the night.
This method is called the "warm pit", which is said to make the dead sleep more comfortably, although it sounds nonsense, but the rules handed down by the ancestors are still carefully followed by the villagers.
The person in charge of the "warm pit" is not just a random one, and there are certain requirements.
It must be a child's body, because then the yang energy is heavier, so it will not be affected by the disaster and get sick, and it must also be a man, and the warm pit can only be gone alone, and everyone else must avoid it.
People in the village generally get married relatively early, and they are already fathers in their early twenties, and young children dare not go to the cemetery in the middle of the night to sleep alone, so it is too difficult to find someone in the warm pit!
But later someone discovered Zhang Xiaokai, that is, the second fool in people's mouths, because Xiaokai is in his twenties, he hasn't even touched the girl's hand, and his boldness is even more surprising.
Xiao Kai's fate is more bitter, he has no mother since he was a child, and he depends on his father for his life, his father is old and frail and sick and can't do heavy work, and the two of them all rely on everyone's help to survive.
No matter where it is, this red and white thing will usually be done in a big way, Xiao Kai saw that the family was doing white things and didn't know what was going on, but he felt that it was very lively, so he followed the fun together.
When the owner's family was worried about who to find to go to the warm pit, he accidentally found Zhang Xiaokai who was secretly eating snacks in the crowd.
The host patted his thigh and thought to himself, isn't this a ready-made candidate!
Xiao Kai is stupid, but people's fathers are not stupid, and the job of the warm pit is not a good job, and if you are not careful, you will cause disaster and illness for yourself.
So the host took some snacks and brought some money to ask for the consent of Xiaokai's father.
Although the father didn't want his son to take that risk, the villagers helped them a lot on weekdays, and he was embarrassed to shirk it when he used himself, so he told Xiaokai to be careful, and promised his son to go to the warm pit for others.
Xiao Kai didn't understand anything else, but he was very obedient, he would do whatever his father asked him to do, let him listen to the master's words, and he obediently slept in the pit.
The host is really exquisite, afraid that Xiao Kai will sleep there at night and face cold, so he gave Xiao Kai a thick cotton coat and brought a quilt for him to cover.
In addition, I also took some snacks for Xiao Kai to eat when he was hungry at night, Xiao Kai has never loved so much delicious food, and kept saying thank you to the host, and promised that he would sleep honestly in the pit and never go out to run around.
The master sent Xiao Kai to the cemetery, and then instructed Xiao Kai a few words before leaving with someone, leaving only Xiao Kai himself.
Seeing that everyone was far away, Xiao Kai couldn't wait to take out the dim sum and eat it, the food was really not flattering, and the dim sum was a little harder, and the sound of "creaking" came far away on the silent hillside.
"Hey, young man, what are you eating, is it delicious?" someone asked as he lay on the pit and faced Xiao Kai.
"I'm eating the fruit, do you want to eat some?" the silly boy generously expressed his willingness to share with the other party.
"That's wonderful! I haven't eaten anything so delicious in a long time," the man said with a happy smile.
"Then you put your hand down and I'll hand it to you, I promised the master that you can't get out of this pit, otherwise I'll send it to you," Xiao Kai shouted in the pit.
"You're a stupid boy who is really obedient, so you can hand it to me."
Xiao Kai saw a dry hand stretched out in the pit, so he handed a large piece of snack to the other party, and inadvertently touched the other party's fingers, which were very cold, and Xiao Kai couldn't help but tremble.
"Aren't you cold? Your hands are cold, I have a quilt, you can take it and cover it," said Xiao Kai, and threw the quilt outside the pit.
"Silly boy, you gave me the quilt, what are you covering when it's cold at night?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I wear a lot of clothes, and the host gave me a cotton coat, which is not covered with a quilt and is not cold"
Xiao Kai and this new acquaintance, like a pair of old friends, talked cordially, chatting and chatting Xiao Kai felt a little tired, so he curled up in the pit and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, Xiao Kai heard someone outside the pit shouting his name, and the voice should be the master's house.
It was already dawn, and Xiao Kai answered loudly in the pit, and only after the permission of the master's house did he climb up from the pit.
"Xiao Kai, why did you throw the quilt outside, aren't you cold?"
"I gave it to an old uncle"
"Old uncle, where did you come from in the middle of the night in this wilderness?" everyone asked puzzled.
"Why is it only the old uncle, he talked with me for a long time, and he also said that I am stupid but very kind, and I want to treat his granddaughter as my daughter-in-law!"
The people around couldn't help laughing when they heard it, and felt that Xiao Kai must have thought that his daughter-in-law was going crazy and sleeping in the pit dreaming.
Xiao Kai didn't argue with them, when Xiao Kai was twenty-five years old, Xiao Kai ran to the neighboring village, Dad asked him what he was going to do, he said to find a daughter-in-law, Dad thought Xiao Kai was making a fool again, but what he didn't expect was that Xiao Kai really brought a beautiful daughter-in-law back!
Xiao Kai's daughter-in-law is young and beautiful, which makes a few gangsters in the village have bad intentions, and when Xiao Kai is not at home, they secretly run to Xiao Kai's house to make trouble.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xiao Kai's daughter-in-law washing her hair in the yard, and when she was about to make a joke, she suddenly found that Xiao Kai's daughter-in-law had taken off her head directly and was washing it in the basin, which scared a few little gangsters and ran away!
After returning home, the gangsters were all seriously ill, and when they woke up, they became stupid, always saying "there are ghosts" in their mouths, and they were especially afraid of people.
On the contrary, Xiao Kai didn't know when he started, and suddenly became smarter, no longer as stupid and stupid as before, and became smart, relying on that cleverness, leading the whole village to live a good life!
