Rent Affair

Chapter 30 Crazy Wife

I'm as confused as Zhang Er's monk. Before Xiaoyue was alive, people in this village forced the mother and daughter out of the village. But now they're dead and crazy. Why are people in this village still unwilling to let this miserable person go? Son?I wondered inwardly, seeing that the twenty or so people in front of me had a fierce aura, if they said a word carelessly, they would definitely be beaten to a cripple.

I glanced at the old man in front of me, his face was kind.

I winked at the old man in the lead, and told him to take a few steps to the side. The twenty or so people behind him saw my movement, and all moved forward, shouting. When it was cold, the crowd calmed down after shouting. The old man followed me and walked a little to the side. I asked, "Master, you said that I made your village suffer. What's going on?"

The old man was full of suspicion, looked me up and down, and asked if I pretended to be confused in front of him with understanding.

I smiled and said back that I really didn't know about it.

The old man saw that I didn't look like a liar, so he told me about Xiaoyue's aunt.He said that two months ago, the cave in Fangniugang suddenly collapsed, and the outsiders who visited the cave were buried alive in it. When the villagers dug up the earth and rocks in the cave, they found that the outsiders had no bones. When this matter happened, a Taoist priest was found to do superseding. When the Taoist priest arrived in Qingniu Village, he didn't go straight to the cow-herding hill, but went to the small earthen house and said that there was a harmful monster in the small earthen house. Qingniu Village will never live in peace.

This old man is the head of Qingniu Village, upon hearing this, he felt fear in his heart, he hurriedly begged the Taoist priest to let him practice Taoism, so as to keep the safety of the village.The Taoist priest told the old man not to panic, he first had to see where the evil spirit was at work here, and after speaking, the Taoist priest opened the door and entered the courtyard, and saw Xiaoyue's aunt tightly hugging Xiaoyue's body, and Xiaoyue's body in her arms was like coal It was as black as black, and the hair was falling out. If it weren't for the people in this village, it would be difficult to recognize the face of the corpse.

Seeing Xiaoyue's corpse, the Taoist stared at her, and shouted at Xiaoyue's aunt, telling her to let go of the corpse in her arms.Xiaoyue's aunt stood up when she heard this, her long hair was disheveled and her face was haggard. She rushed towards the Taoist priest with the corpse in her arms like crazy, and shouted, "Don't you want to kill my little one?" Yue snatched it away! Don't even think about it!"

Seeing this, the Taoist stepped back, beckoning the old man to help hold Xiaoyue's aunt down, the old man was old and weak, how could he stop the crazy woman in front of him, he shouted in panic and surrounded her Looking at the bustling people outside the door, with a cry, three or four burly men stood out from the crowd, stepped forward and held Xiaoyue's aunt down, the Taoist grabbed Xiaoyue's body and handed it to the old man, saying that the body Burn it quickly, and if you leave it for a while, disaster will happen.

The old man looked down at the charcoal-like corpse, hesitating a little, the Taoist urged again, the old man took the corpse, and hurriedly found some young and bold people in the village to take the corpse to the open space outside the village and burn it up.The old man turned to look at Xiaoyue's aunt who was firmly pressed on the ground, and saw that she was struggling with all her strength. In just this moment, two of them had a piece of flesh bitten off their hands, and her mouth was full of tears. It was bright red blood, shocking, shouting in his mouth, seeing this scene in the old man's eyes, he felt pity in his heart.

The Taoist glanced at Xiaoyue's aunt, and said coldly that this crazy woman can't stay...

The Taoist didn't finish his sentence, but the old man was so scared that the back of his spine was sweating coldly. The old man wondered if there was any other way.

Seeing the old man's kindness and softness, the Taoist priest shook his head helplessly and said, let's keep this crazy woman for a few more months, when he comes to Qingniu Village again, the Taoist priest left the village alone without saying anything.

Not long after Xiaoyue was cremated, the bodies of those outsiders were found in a pit in the wasteland more than a hundred meters away from the cow-herding hill. Everyone in the village wondered how the people who were buried in the cave could be buried for no reason. Even the village head, the old man, was puzzled when he arrived in the earth pit a hundred meters away, but he couldn't explain the reason, so he had to attribute it to the Taoist priest's supernatural power.

After this incident, Qingniu Village is as peaceful as ever, but just last night, Xiaoyue's aunt sang a song in the village late at night, "The sky is terrified, the ground is gray, Wotou and Wotou come out to see your mother..." The voice was like crying, The chickens fly and the dogs bark straight, the sleeping people wake up, and the sleepless people panic.

The old village chief is old and sleepless. Hearing the sound of the ballad, he hurriedly put on his clothes and came out. He saw that every house was lit up, and there were people standing outside the door. Xiaoyue's aunt was holding a doll in her arms. Singing while shaking, the villagers hurriedly gathered at the door of the old man's house, talking one after another or killing the crazy woman, anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the dead person is said to be lost , no one will pursue it.

The old man was a little hesitant, but the people in the village pressed him hard, even talking about the mad woman making such a fuss in the village, the old man saw that the villagers wanted to drive the crazy woman out of the village no matter what. It's okay to go out of the village, but if she finds her back by herself, the villagers will have to kill her... The old man told the villagers not to get excited, and wait until he finds the Taoist priest in the village to ask.

The villagers believed in the Taoist priest's supernatural powers. When they heard that they wanted to find the Taoist priest, they naturally nodded and dispersed to go home.Unexpectedly, the old man brought people to arrest Xiaoyue's aunt and waited for the Taoist priest at the entrance of the village, but I let her go.

After listening to what the old man said, I became suspicious. Even if an outsider was buried alive in the cave in Fangniugang, according to common sense, the corpse should be in the cave. How could it appear in the pit a hundred meters away?It's not like an accident, it's more like someone deliberately imposed this disaster on Xiaoyue. I think this incident has nothing to do with the Taoist priest, but he cleared the suspicion and made the villagers believe it was true , and why did she take the life of Xiaoyue's aunt? Could it be that she knew something?
I bent down and bowed, and apologized to the old man, saying that I passed by this village and saw a crazy woman being bullied, so I couldn't ignore it. I didn't expect to cause trouble to the village.The old man took out a cigarette from his chest pocket, lit it and took a puff. He said that it is a good thing for the young man to act bravely when he sees righteousness, but he can't care about everything. pursued.

I thanked him and asked the old man if he could take me to meet the Taoist priest?

The old man took two puffs of cigarettes, glanced at me, and told me to go, but I can go, but don't talk too much when we meet, and you will lose your words if you talk too much.I hurriedly nodded in response, the old man turned around and told the twenty people to go with him to the entrance of the village to wait for the Taoist priest, the crazy woman will talk about it later, the group of people looked at each other and whispered about me, the old man laughed and said it was just a misunderstanding , Telling them not to ask any more questions, the villagers didn't dare to say anything when they saw the old man talking, so they turned and walked towards the entrance of the village.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw a group of people gathered at some time ago. The old man beckoned me to follow behind him. He was afraid that I would cause any trouble again. After standing for a long time, I heard a person in the crowd shout, shouting, "Yeah!" Look! Isn't that a fortune teller!"

When everyone heard this, they looked around one after another, only to see a man riding a donkey upside down, unable to see his face clearly, the man was walking slowly on the donkey, walking towards the entrance of the village.Seeing that it was a Taoist priest, the old man hurriedly called several young men from the village beside him to go forward to meet him. The young men responded in unison and trotted towards the Taoist priest who was riding upside down on a donkey.

I stood behind the old man and watched the young men running close to the Taoist priest, unexpectedly, the young men suddenly yelled, "There is a ghost", these people seemed to be frightened and ran away in all directions.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the old man quickly waved his hands and told everyone in the village to follow him to see what was going on.

I followed the old man and ran forward. When I got close to the Taoist priest, I could only smell a thick fishy smell floating in the air. I was startled. This Taoist priest might be...

While thinking about it, a group of people ran to the Taoist priest, there was a sound of panic and vomiting, and some of them turned around and ran away in fright. As if he had been frightened before death, the Taoist priest's limbs were hanging down weakly. I bravely stretched out my hand to touch the Taoist priest's hand. I felt that the hand was limp and boneless. Even the limbs and bones of this Taoist priest were crushed into powder?
If it was evil, it would never take a lot of trouble to torture this Taoist priest into such a state. It is likely that someone secretly made troubles, but who would hate this Taoist priest to the bone?I thought carefully in my heart, there is only one person, and that is Xiaoyue's aunt, but she is a lunatic now, will she still do this murderous thing?

The old man, the village head, was also panicked, and he held his chest and gasped for a few long breaths. The only bold villagers around were whispering, and one of the young men was very loud, saying that the Taoist priest died unexpectedly. The village is going to suffer... Hearing this, the old village chief stared wide-eyed and cursed loudly, "You bastard! Go home and stop spreading rumors here!"

The young man was scolded by the old man, and he lowered his head resentfully, not daring to say another word.

The old man took out a cigarette from his pocket, held it in his mouth but didn't light it, stared at the Taoist priest's corpse, helpless.

At this time, a man among the villagers said that he would find an expert in the village to solve this matter. When he said this, the villagers nodded in agreement. Tell the man that since it was his idea, let him go to the village to find an expert to come back and make contributions to the village.

When the man heard this, he shook his head hastily, and evaded that his mother was paralyzed on the bed, and there was a pair of children under her knees. Seeing that the autumn harvest was coming, the crops of the two mu of land at home would also be harvested.

Hearing this, the old man didn't realize that it was all an excuse for prevarication, and said that he would not be allowed to go.The old man looked around among the only dozen or so people around him, and asked who would be willing to go?
