folk legend

Chapter 3
It is said that the old man who came from outside the village stood outside the gate of Old Liu’s house and looked into the yard for a long time, making the chattering people under the old elm tree think he was a distant relative of the old Liu’s family. .

When the talkative person was about to tell the old man about the situation of the old Liu's house, he heard the old man shout into the yard: "Is there anyone in the house?"

The old man's voice was quite loud, and it stands to reason that the people in the room should have heard it, but after he finished shouting, it took a long time, and no one came out of the room.So, the old man yelled again, but there was still no answer. It seemed that the old man was a little impatient with waiting, so he walked into the yard.

At that time, Sanliangzi Village was full of old-fashioned mud houses with good sound insulation. Besides, Liu Degui was copying a big ax and chopping bone sticks in the house to make bone soup for his father. , I heard someone shouting in the yard in a trance, put down the ax in my hand, washed the oil on my hands, and then went outside, thinking about this time, who would come to my house?
After pushing open the door, Liu Degui didn't take a closer look at the situation in the yard, and walked directly towards the gate, almost colliding with the old man who was coming towards him, only then did he realize that someone had entered the yard.The young man looked at it carefully for a long time, but he didn't know this old man?Just when I was about to open my mouth and ask who the old man was.The old man took the lead and said: "Young man, there is something evil going on in your family lately, right? Is it because a person came back to life after death? Let me tell you. Hurry up and do it, or something big will happen!"

When Liu Degui heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened, and he didn't want to at that time. The outspoken young man pointed at the old man's nose and cursed loudly: "You say you are an old man, come to my house and talk nonsense. My father is living well, and he eats more than me every day. If it weren't for your age, he would have to clean you up, get out!"

Liu Degui was really angry enough, cursing his father and ancestors would make anyone angry, so he ignored Sanqi 21 and scolded the old man.But this old man, after being scolded by Liu Degui, not only didn't get angry, but he laughed and continued to talk about him, as if he would not give up until he reached his goal.

The old man's attitude directly caused Liu Degui to be furious, thinking in his heart, hey, you said that this old man has a trick, he came to my house and told me that my father was bewitched, and he had to convince me, why?Who do you think you are?Lord Tianwang doesn't care about my family's affairs either.

People in the countryside fight against the sky and the earth every day.Fighting against nature, don't look at the surface is honest, but it didn't touch their bottom line, once it touches their bottom line, there is no way, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, rabbits don't shit, birds don't lay eggs In this place, the concept of law is already weak, coupled with the bloodiness of the old man, the result can be imagined.

Liu Degui didn't know enough, but that didn't mean he was stupid. Now that someone cursed his own father like that, and he still couldn't drive him away, the young man's bloody energy immediately turned against him.Turning around and looking around, he saw a two-pronged fork for oxfork fodder placed under the window sill, and he went to pick it up and was about to beat the old man.

Seeing the young man holding a fork, the old man was startled. He quickly turned his head and ran out of the courtyard, saying as he ran, "Don't...don't do it, don't do it, I'll go by myself, I'll go by myself."

Even though the old man was quite old, he ran quite fast. He had already reached the door while he was talking. Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, he knew that the young man was not chasing him, so he turned around and smiled at Liu Degui again.The shameless and angry Liu Degui chased after him again with his two-pronged fork in both hands.Only at this time, the old man had already run a long way along the small streets of the village.

Seeing the funny look of the old man running and jogging, Liu Degui muttered and cursed, what a fuck, you shameless old thing!Then he turned and went back to the house.

The old man was afraid of the two-pronged fork in Liu Degui's hand. That thing pierced his eyes, and if he went back and forth, he could pull half a catty of meat off, so he ran to the village in one breath, looked back, and made sure that Liu Degui was not chasing him, so he stopped. down.There was a big smooth rock by the side of the road, I sat down on it, gasped for a few breaths, and cursed: "You son of a bitch, I'm doing this for your own good, and frighteningly frightening me , a natural bastard, he deserves to be a fucking fool for the rest of his life!"

The old man murmured and scolded the boss for a while, but he only met Liu Degui once, how could he know that Liu Degui was a jerk?Could it be...

After resting for a while, the old man clasped his shoulders tightly, looked around, made a little identification of the direction, and then headed towards the village chief You Guofu's house.

When he came to You Guofu's house, the door of his house was closed.The old man, who had nowhere to vent his grievances, kicked open the two old-fashioned wooden doors.It seems that all the anger I received just now was vented here, but the old man just kicked the door. The old man hadn't completely calmed down yet, and while walking to You Guofu's house, he cursed loudly: "You Guofu, you bastard, why don't you give up?" Get out, old man."

You Guofu also works on the production team during the day, but his work is quite different from Jiang Decai and the others. He just assigns work to the villagers, and then picks and chooses to find some relatively light work. Do something, and it's over.At the end of the day, he was hardly tired.

If you don't get tired during the day, the energy you save will naturally be used at night.Now lying on the kang, he was about to put his arms around his wife to make a villain. At the critical moment, he suddenly heard the knock of the door, and then someone scolded him in the yard, the voice sounded familiar.

But, familiarity is familiarity, you can't do this at this time!What the hell is going to happen if he scares himself out of his wits?Besides, on my three-acre land, there is enough room for you to yell and drink.Angrily, You Guofu pulled a gown, draped it over his shoulders, got off the ground, pulled on his shoes, and went out cursing, looking for someone to settle the score.As a result, when he saw the person clearly, You Guofu was honest, like a mouse seeing a cat, nodding and bowing as if welcoming the inspection of the superior, and politely invited the old man into the house.

The old man was not polite, as if he had returned to his own home, and after entering the house, he sat down on the edge of the kang, still a little annoyed, and asked You Guofu: "It's the one in your village, the one who died two days ago, what's your name?" what?"

"Dead?" You Guofu may not have reacted from the state just now, so the old man was stunned by the question. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized: "Oh, you mean the old Liu's family, but the old Liu is not Died, and came back to life after a few hours. Brother Han, let’s talk about this in the room, don’t say it when you go out, that old Liu’s son..." When it came to this, You Guofu used Pointing to his own head.Continued: "There's not enough count here!"

"What the hell! He's possessed by an evil spirit, and he's letting something unclean get attached to him. If you don't resettle quickly, all of you will be doomed!"

The old man surnamed Han had just finished speaking, when he heard a bang in the room, so frightened that You Guofu yelled, jumped onto the kang, and plunged into his back, with his buttocks sticking out high and high, like in the mountains. It looks like a frightened silly roe deer.

"Look at how promising you are, and you're still the head of the village! It's okay, your wife dropped the tea mug on the ground."

It turned out that after old man Han entered the house, You Guofu's wife saw that the head of the house was so polite to the visitors, so she hurriedly poured water for the guests, and when she was about to bring the tea mug to the old man, she heard old man Han talking about the bewitching , The rural woman trembled in fright, and the tea mug fell to the ground.

You Guofu, who understood what was going on, gave his wife a good meal, and his daughter-in-law went to Westinghouse in a fit of anger, Zhu Bajie threw a rake and stopped serving.You Guofu was also at leisure, so he told Old Man Liu about Old Man Liu.

After knowing the specific situation, Old Hantou frowned and pinched his fingers for a long time before saying: "Fortunately, I came in time. If it's a day later, I'll be blind."

You Guofu and old man Han have known each other for a long time, and it was the first time that he was so urgent, so he knew that this matter was no small matter, so he hurriedly asked old man Han: "Brother, what should we do about this matter? Old man like us Crop poles don’t understand these things either!”

The old man Han thought for a while, and said to You Guofushui: "Hurry up and find a cigarette rope, the longer the better, and find a plowshare tip, preferably one that has plowed the ground. After finding something, we will arrange it tonight." Let’s see, we have to wait until tomorrow for details on how to clean up.”

You Guofu listened to the old man's instructions and didn't dare to neglect, so he hurried to prepare things.

Cigarette rope, to put it simply, is hemp rope. The difference is that this kind of rope is specially used to dry the old fire cigarettes in the countryside. At this time, there are no cigarettes in the village, and the villagers usually smoke their own. The kind of fire smoke, also known as green leaf toad dry, this kind of old fire smoke can make people choke their nose and tears a lot, but the peasants smoke it happily.

This kind of cigarette rope has another benefit, to ward off evil spirits!As for the reason for warding off evil spirits, it seems to have something to do with Wuye God.Both the plowshare tip and the plowshare are handed down from the old life and can ward off evil spirits. They are used when people die in the village. They are also relatively common things in the countryside, so it is not difficult to find them.

Not long after, You Guofu found two things back.According to the old man Han's instructions, the two of them sneaked into Old Liu's yard before midnight while it was dark, and circled the three earthen houses of Old Liu with a long cigarette rope. , and finally press the tip of the plowshare on the joint of the two rope ends.
