Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 62

The temperature in Saibei is very different. During the day it is still hot and people sweat profusely, but at night it can make people squawk and scream.As soon as the sun went down, the wind started to pick up. The wind outside was blowing, and the temperature plummeted.We cut two salix plants outside the house and built a fire. Everyone sat around the fire, eating a simple dinner and chatting wildly.

Lao Luo wiped his mouth, took out the bong, added some shredded tobacco, knocked it on the ground, and habitually held it in his mouth, and started to smoke it in a rattling manner.He squinted his eyes, the smoke curled up on his face, and he said slowly: "Actually, Saibei Fort was a very prosperous frontier fortress before. It is located at the throat of the Silk Road. Businessmen from all over the world, or foreign businessmen from Persia in the Western Regions, have to pass through Saibeibao. Multi-ethnic cultures are widely exchanged here, and this place once prospered. Later... Later, do you know why this place fell?" Old Luo It's sold out.

"If the Silk Road is gone, this place will also be gone!" I replied as a matter of course.

"Hehe, your thinking is really too simple! Then why is there no one living here in the end?" Lao Luo continued to ask.

"Uh... Maybe it's because of environmental problems. The environment here is too harsh, and a lot of yellow sand in the Lop Nur desert is blowing here!" Gu Meidi analyzed.

"The ancestors have lived here for so long, and they have long been used to the washing of yellow sand, how could they suddenly not get used to it?" Lao Luo shook his head: "I also heard from the older generation that the reason why Saibei Fort is It will become an empty city because there is a story in it!" After a pause, Lao Luo emphasized his tone, and said sadly: "A horrible story!"

Anyway, everyone had nothing to do around the fire, and since Lao Luo wanted to tell a story, everyone listened carefully to him.

In fact, the decline of Saibei Fort was not many years ago. It is said that during the period of the Republic of China, Saibei Fort was occupied by a local warlord. Although it has lost its former prosperity, there are still many people living there.At that time, the warlord was surnamed Cao, called Cao Hui, and had 3000 people under his command, entrenched in the frontier area, and was very powerful.

Cao Hui had an ugly face and a sarcoma on his forehead. When he got angry, he was hideous and terrifying.The uglier people are, the more lustful they are. Relying on his power and power, Cao Hui occupied many women from good families, including six concubines in the back room.

On the day of Cao Hui's [-]th birthday, he invited a troupe to sing babble for two or three days. Saibei Castle was decorated with lanterns and festoons, making it even more lively than during the Spring Festival.

There is a young and beautiful Huadan in the theater troupe, named Xin'er, who is the foreman's biological daughter. She looks so watery, with an oval face, a small waist, and especially those slender legs. Any man who sees her will be impressed. His eyes glowed.This Cao Hui was a lustful hungry ghost, and he didn't care about watching the show at all. His eyes darted across Xin'er's chest and butt, revealing a lewd smile from time to time.

That night, Cao Hui held a running water banquet and got very drunk. When passing by a row of wing rooms, he saw a graceful figure with long hair and shawl reflected on the paper window of the back room.This row of wing rooms was where the theater troupe stayed. Cao Hui hiccupped it, put his finger in his mouth, dipped some saliva, and poked a hole in the paper window.

At that time, a red candle was lit in the house, and Xin'er took off her make-up and changed her clothes to get ready to go to bed. The continuous performances for the past two days made her feel a little tired.She took off the outer veil skirt, revealing a sexy red bellyband, and her smooth back was facing the window. She never imagined that a pair of eyes full of desire were staring at her greedily outside the window.

Xin'er blew out the candles and went to bed, and soon there was the sound of even breathing.

Cao Hui was burning with desire, like a beast inside his body, under the influence of alcohol, he broke into Xin'er's bedroom with his red eyes, and pounced on the sleeping Xin'er.Like a mad wolf, he threw off the quilt, tore off Xin'er's red bellyband, and then pressed his plump body onto it.

Xin'er was awakened, screaming and crying, but in front of Cao Hui, a wolf, she was just a lamb, no matter how hard she struggled, it was useless, the heart-piercing pain almost made her faint.

Xin'er's cries woke up the foreman in the next room. The foreman jumped out of bed, ran into the room with a candle in his hand, and almost fainted when he saw the scene in front of him.He threw himself at Cao Hui recklessly, cursing Cao Hui as a beast.

Cao Hui was in high spirits, and he seemed annoyed to be interrupted by the foreman, an old man. He didn't want to get up from Xin'er's delicate body. With his strength, he threw the foreman away with one arm, knocking his head on the table On the corner, blood flowed immediately.

"Bastard, I'll fight with you!" Blood stained the old man's face, howling, the old man got up, and threw a chair at Cao Hui.

boom!
The gunshot rang out suddenly, the old man's raised arm was still in the air, and a blood flower bloomed on his chest. The blood flower quickly became bigger and soon dyed the whole clothes red. After falling down, bloody foam gushed out of his mouth, and he cursed the word "beast" before losing his temper.

Cao Hui was annoyed that the old man spoiled his interest, so he pulled out his waist gun in a fit of anger, and killed the old foreman with one shot.

The rest of the troupe heard the sound and came to see this scene, and then looked at the guy smoking in Cao Hui's hand, no one dared to act rashly.They are all powerless ordinary people, whoever offends Cao Hui, a bastard warlord, will die. They succumbed to Cao Hui's despotic power and dispersed silently one by one.

This fellow Cao Hui is not as good as a beast, even wantonly ravaging the young Xin'er in front of the corpse of the old foreman, Cao Hui's arrogant and contented laughter came from the room from time to time.

Seeing her father's tragic death in front of her eyes, Xin'er stopped crying and also stopped struggling.At this moment, her heart was dead, and her soul was gone. She was lying there like a wooden stake, letting Cao Hui toss and turn on her body to breathe.

The next day, Cao Hui was still sound asleep, snoring like a pig, a lieutenant rushed into the room in a panic and woke Li Tong up: "General, it's not good, it's not good, something serious has happened!"

Cao Hui scolded the lieutenant angrily: "What's the trouble, is the sky falling or is your mother dead?"

The deputy general swallowed hard, turned around and pointed to the courtyard outside, and said in a trembling voice: "Xin'er is dead! Xin'er is dead!"

"Who is Xin'er?" Cao Hui hadn't recovered from his drunkenness yet.

"That's... that girl who was lying in this room last night..." The lieutenant pointed to the wooden bed.

"Oh? That little girl is really exciting!" Cao Hui frowned, and said disapprovingly, "Why did she die? I still want to marry her as the wife of Qifang!"

Cao Hui yawned, got up and put on a coat: "If you die, you will die. Just drag it and bury it. You should panic!"

"No! No!" The lieutenant shuddered: "Go and see, the girl's death condition... the death condition is a bit terrifying..."

"What's so scary, you've never seen a dead man, have you?" Cao Hui had just stepped out of the door, and the words that followed were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't swear.Because he saw Xin'er's body at a glance, the lieutenant general did not lie, Xin'er's death was extremely horrific, even Cao Hui, a murderous and unblinking demon king, couldn't help shivering, and most of the drunkenness woke up immediately.

"Damn it!" Cao Hui's legs trembled twice. If the lieutenant general hadn't supported him, he might have fallen down.

Xin'er was hanged, wearing a bright red dress, hanging like a kite on the jujube tree in the courtyard.As soon as the wind blew, her body swayed back and forth, and blood scum was continuously sprinkled down, and a large pool of blood pooled on the sand under the tree, and the smell of blood was so strong.A pair of scissors was still soaked in the bloody water. Xin'er used the scissors to dig out her own eyeballs, then cut open her stomach, took out the bloody intestines, and hung them on the branches. She used her own The intestines hanged himself, and the pair of gouged out eyes are now placed outside the window of the bedroom, staring lifelessly at Cao Hui who has been sleeping.

The bright red skirt fluttered in the wind, and the two black eye sockets were full of resentment. It seemed that Qing'er's strange singing came from the wind: "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."

Cao Hui felt chills all over his body. He never thought that this weak little girl would choose such a tragic way to end her humiliated life.

"Bury her! Bury her for me!" Cao Hui yelled in horror.

Because Xin'er's death was too horrible, and she died with hatred in a red dress, many people dared not touch her body.Cao Hui had no choice but to take out two silver dollars as a reward. With a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Two soldiers bravely climbed up the jujube tree, carried Xin'er's body down, and threw it into the desert overnight with a cart.

Cao Hui felt uneasy, so he ordered Xin'er's body to be burned and buried deep in the sand.

Then he still felt that something was wrong, so he invited a mage at a high price, and performed rituals in the courtyard for three days and three nights.Before leaving, the mage gave Cao Hui an ancient jade in the shape of a copper coin, then sprinkled paper money in every corner of the courtyard, pasted yellow talismans, and warned Cao Hui: "This girl died with hatred, with great resentment, and her body is full of grievances. Wearing red clothes, I vow to turn into a ghost to seek revenge on you. She will come back on the first seven nights, and there is only so much I can help you with. You'd better stay in the protective circle I set up and don't go anywhere. If you can get through the first seven days, she won't come to you again!"

It was the fifth day when the mage left, and Cao Hui spent the next two days in panic, but in just a few days, he lost a lot of weight. He had nightmares when he closed his eyes, and Xin'er's shadows were flying in front of him. He saw Xin'er pull out her intestines, hang them around his neck, and then grinned at him: "Strangle you to death! I want... to strangle you to death you……"
