The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 184
Before arriving at Li Xuan's tomb, Xia Xiangxi already felt the thick yin qi that made one's bones chill.

After walking a few steps, I saw a white-haired old lady sitting on the ground holding a little boy and crying.The old lady was extremely ugly, with a large black birthmark on her face, covering almost her entire face.

How could someone from a good family appear in the wilderness in the middle of the night?Xia Xiangxi recognized the girls as ghosts.But there is no hostility in the two ghosts. Even if such a ghost is harmless, it is not something that can be provoked casually.Xia Xiangxi was worried about Shi Wei in his heart, and wanted to go around, but the old lady just wanted to pester Xia Xiangxi.She cried and said that her grandson was sick and asked Xia Xiangxi to help him find a doctor.

Xia Xiangxi could see that these two ghosts were pestering her on purpose, and Xia Xiangxi didn't want to do anything until the matter was not out of hand.

Grandpa said to Xia Xiangxi that he once met a rogue ghost. If you are kind-hearted, you will never be able to get rid of this kind of ghost. When he sees that you are kind-hearted, he will eat you up and come to you again and again. Money to eat.You give it once, give it twice, if you ask for it too much, the good-hearted alms will become blackmailed, he is like a piece of dog skin plaster, no one can bear it if he follows you wherever you go.Such a ghost, with a bad face, can't be regarded as a great evil. If you harm him, you will be the unlucky one instead.

It's a pity that Xia Xiangxi only remembered what her grandfather said, and she couldn't remember how her grandfather sent that scoundrel away. She didn't know whether her grandfather didn't say it at the time, or said that she didn't care to listen to it at that time?
If the two ghosts in front of him were rogue ghosts, Xia Xiangxi really couldn't think of a good way to deal with them for a while.I endured it for a while, and asked the old lady, how can I save her grandson?

The old lady said that her grandson was bitten by a snake, and she had medicine to cure snake poison at home, but the snake was in their house, and she asked Xia Xiangxi to help drive the snake out.Then she took the medicine and gave it to her grandson.

Xia Xiangxi nodded in agreement, and walked a hundred steps to the east according to what the old lady said, and she really saw a thatched house, which was dilapidated.Xia Xiangxi pushed open the firewood gate, and besides a little boy lying on the kang in the room, there was also a black boa constrictor coiled up.At this time, it seems that they have eaten and drank enough, and they are sleeping soundly in a ball.

Xia Xiangxi knew that this was not an ordinary python, but a kind of python cave specially designed to eat corpses.

Where there are people, there will be snakes and rats.Generally, where living people live, there are many rats, and where dead people live, there are many snakes.Snakes are carnivorous animals. Some snakes like to eat birds and mice, and some snakes prefer to eat the carrion of dead people.The python cave is the last type.In the rural areas in the past, the conditions were poor, and when people died, they were buried in thin coffins.Because such a thin coffin is cheap, the wood is not only thin, but also has many gaps.After the dead were buried, not long after the dead body's rotting body fluids would make the wood of the thin coffin moldy and rotten, the python cave easily got into the coffin from the rotten coffin boards and ate the carrion of the dead body.Once the dead are entangled in the python cave, their souls will be disturbed, and it will also affect the descendants of future generations, so the previous generation is poor, and the next generation will be even poorer.

And those wealthy families, because they have money to bury their relatives generously, and their relatives sleep peacefully in the underworld, will also allow their descendants to be blessed. Therefore, most of the rich families in the previous generation will be richer in the next generation, and the ancestors will be richer for generations.

This is why in ancient times, the more high-ranking officials and nobles, the more things were buried with the dead.This is not only a filial piety, but also a wish to be blessed by the dead in the underworld!
Xia Xiangxi noticed that besides the big python cave, there were several smaller ones.I didn't see it just now because those little snakes were all hidden on the little boy's body.At this time, a head came out from the little boy's mouth, and a tail was exposed between the little boy's legs. It seemed that it had already penetrated the little boy's buttocks into his stomach.The other one uses the little boy's eyes and ears as a playground, constantly getting in from one eye and coming out from the other ear.

Tormenting that little boy like this, how could the dead soul of that little boy be at ease?
It's just that Xia Xiangxi was slightly surprised that a child who died underage cannot be buried in the ancestral grave, let alone be buried with his grandmother.Could it be that this is the tomb of an ancient corpse, and that little boy was a virgin who was forced to be buried with him?

With this doubt in her heart, she didn't hesitate, and killed the big python cave with the mahogany sword in her hand.When the little snakes saw someone threatening them, they all used the little boy's body as a cave, hid it in their stomachs and never came out again.

Xia Xiangxi only saw the movement in the little boy's stomach, so he could only feel anxious.She couldn't destroy the little boy's body.

After thinking for a while, Xia Xiangxi finally thought of a way. He carried the little boy's body out of the thatched hut, found a puddle, and put the little boy's body into the water.Only water snakes are not afraid of water, other snakes do not have this ability.Not long after, those little snakes got out of the boy's body, and Xia Xiangxi killed them with a few swords.

In this way, the little boy's body was put back into the thatched house, and the python cave that she had killed was removed from it, and the house was cleaned.Even the doors and windows of the thatched house were wiped.

By the time she cleaned up the thatched house, the white-haired old lady had already returned with her lively grandson.Xia Xiangxi looked at the little boy's body in the thatched hut, and it was long gone.

Seeing the results of Xia Xiangxi's cleaning, the white-haired old lady nodded.Xia Xiangxi asked her if she had anything else to do?

The old lady said that the door plaque of her house was damaged, and asked Xia Xiangxi to take down the door plaque and hang it again.This is the last thing, and it is impossible for Xia Xiangxi not to agree.He walked to the door and stretched out his hand to take off the door plaque. He didn't know if the door plaque was rusted, or it was nailed to death by a wedge.Xia Xiangxi couldn't take it off for a long time, so the white-haired old lady became anxious and urged her a few words.Xia Xiangxi was also in a hurry, and when she exerted all her strength, she heard a "boom", and the whole thatch collapsed.

Xia Xiangxi didn't know if he was hit by a wall or a beam, his eyes went dark, he was pressed down by a heavy object, and he passed out instantly.

When she woke up, it was already daylight, and she was covered with a pile of straw, and a black dog was scratching the straw while raising its legs, as if it was about to pee.

Xia Xiangxi hurriedly scolded and scared the black dog away. When she stood up, she realized that she was holding a cinnabar token the size of a palm in her hand.

Looking at the collapsed thatched house that I saw last night, there was no sign of it at all.This was originally expected by Xia Xiangxi, because she had known for a long time that the thatched house she saw at night should be a tomb.However, the strange thing is that she pushed aside the straw that buried her, but she didn't see a grave.Next to it is a brick stack piled up with bricks like a chicken coop.

When Xia Xiangxi asked the people in the village, they all said that they heard from the elders that there was also a family living there, and there lived a god mother (in Han Chinese, it means witch, which is an honorific title.), and later that god mother offended Shan Li Miao people were burned to death inside the house.Everyone in the village was afraid of offending the Miao people and causing trouble, so they didn't dare to bury the godmother. After the house burned down, they buried the bones.That godmother can be said to be buried in peace.

Xia Xiangxi didn't ask any more questions when he heard this, and put the cinnabar order away.Since the white-haired old lady was in the same league as her, the experience last night also made Xia Xiangxi feel like she was destined to get the cinnabar order.Such things as Shenyu and Xianyu are the most taboo to talk about. If you talk too much, the adventure you originally got will turn into bad luck, and you will be backlashed.

Because you met some adventures and got some treasure or other, that treasure or something is destined for you, or it is the blessings you accumulated in your previous life, and you should have the good luck you should have. You don’t cherish the future. If it is publicized, it means that you are willing to share your well-being with others. If you give it to others, then what belongs to you will naturally disappear.

Back at the farmhouse, Shi Wei had already returned.Lying on the kang with a sallow complexion, it seems that he has experienced something frightening?

Xia Xiangxi called her, and she sat up suddenly as if she was terrified. When she saw Xia Xiangxi, she swallowed sharply and fell back again.

Xia Xiangxi asked her where she went last night, Shi Wei seemed unwilling to say, waved her hand weakly at Xia Xiangxi, and fell asleep.Shi Wei didn't wake up until it was night.Only then did he tell Xia Xiangxi what happened last night.

Shi Wei said that she was annoyed by that Ji Haitian, so she couldn't stand his begging and wanted to help him.After all... Shi Wei blushed slightly when she said this, and said in a very low voice that she and Ji Haitian have been in love for a few days.

Xia Xiangxi really didn't know what to say about Shi Wei.It's not that people can't show affection to ghosts, and working with people depends on people, let alone ghosts?A ghost like Ji Haitian has a small heart and no shame, so helping him is tantamount to helping a tiger!

Xia Xiangxi later asked Shi Wei why he was confused by a ghost like Ji Haitian.Shi Wei said she couldn't control it herself.Because of her special constitution, she was often pressed by ghosts since she was a teenager. At first, she was terrified and terrified.But she couldn't tell her father about this kind of thing, and she was ashamed to tell others, so she just endured it.The more times she did it, the more she got used to it, thinking it was a spring/dream that made her very comfortable.

Sometimes when she is in good health, she will not encounter such a thing. Instead, she will feel unaccustomed, and will long for those perverts to come into her dream again, hug her and love her, and bring her the kind of lethargy. The feeling she was afraid of made her long again.

Sometimes she will deliberately make herself sick, so that her body will be weak, and those perverts will dare to approach her.
