Taboo Master

Chapter 361 The Crow Girl

Early the next morning, we prepared offerings and went up the mountain to worship God according to my grandmother's instructions.

I don't know what kind of god we are going to worship, nor does Xinya. Grandma refuses to say, she just told us not to talk nonsense when we enter the mountain, and everything will be arranged by her.

The place where my grandma took us was not too far from the village, just behind the village, but my grandma was old and couldn't walk very well. After about half an hour, I arrived at the small temple that my grandma mentioned.

When I came here and took a look, I couldn’t help shaking my head secretly. To say that this is a temple is an honorific title, but it’s actually a small house with air leaks everywhere, built of earthen bricks, with some broken tiles randomly placed on it. I don't know how many years, it's dilapidated, it looks like an earth temple that has been abandoned for many years.

But what is enshrined in the temple is a portrait of an old lady, which is also very old, with a kind face and a kind face, wearing a big red robe, but with the passage of time, the big red robe has faded seriously, and it looks like an old bed sheet.

I really want to ask which god this is, but my grandma told me not to talk nonsense when I went up the mountain, so I didn’t make a sound. The few of us arranged the offerings, which were actually a few small apples, dumplings, steamed buns, etc. On the altar in front of the statue, I straightened the incense burner and lit the incense candles. Then my grandma told us to back off, but let Xin Ya go forward, followed my grandma to respectfully worship the statue for a few times.

Xin Ya worshiped there, grandma bowed her head and closed her eyes, muttering something, Xiao Bai and I watched like idiots, and finally grandma burned a small pile of paper money and ingots on the ground, and it was almost burnt out At that time, a small whirlwind blew up in the flat ground, spun a few times on the ground, and brought up the dead leaves all over the ground. I squinted my eyes, and saw that the burned ingot paper money on the ground had disappeared.

We still don't understand, we don't know what kind of mystery this old lady is playing, but she asked Xin Ya to kowtow to the statue three more times, then she sighed, pulled Xin Ya up, and asked Xiaobai and me to give the statue to the god again. After a few obeisances, let us go down the mountain with her and go home.

The worship was inexplicable, and it was not until returning home that Xin Ya dared to ask what it was for. Grandma hesitated for a while, and said to Xin Ya: "This is to repay your wish when you were young."

Xin Ya asked what was going on, Grandma sighed again, sat on her old rocking chair, squinted her eyes, and told us a story.

She said that it was about 20 years ago when Xinya's mother was pregnant with her and was waiting to give birth at her grandma's house. It was autumn and the villagers were busy harvesting crops. She was about to eat, and the people in the village were warm and kind, so they brought her food one after another. When she was full, she pointed to a house and said, your house is going to catch fire tonight.

Everyone is very upset, how can there be such a thing in the world, just give you food, and then curse others to catch fire?
But this woman was crazy, spoke with a foreign accent, and wore tattered clothes. It was obvious that she had wandered here, so everyone didn't bother with her. They asked her where her home was and if she remembered who she was. Women can't answer all of them, and they even care about people asking for clothes.

But at that time the people in the village were very poor, and it was easy to talk about what they had to eat. There was no extra clothes, and even some poor families only had a pair of trousers all year round. If they were given to her, they would be naked.

Xin Ya's mother was also there at the time. Originally, her grandma wouldn't let her go out, but she was so bored this day. Could it be that there was some excitement, so she came out. When she heard that the woman asked for clothes, and saw how pitiful she was, she went back. When he got home, he took out one of his old coats and gave it to the woman.

The crazy woman put on her coat, didn't know how to say thank you, stood up and left, Xin Ya's mother was standing next to her, and she was bumped into a somersault, everyone was terrified, and quickly helped her up, criticizing That woman, who knows that the woman was indifferent, pointed at everyone and laughed, and ran away in a hurry.

It doesn't matter if she ran away, something serious happened to Xinya's family. At that time, Xinya's mother was nine months pregnant, and she was about to give birth. If she bumped into her, she would die immediately, bleeding profusely, and everyone in the village was at a loss. She was rushed to the hospital, but the transportation was inconvenient at that time, and she couldn't hold on as soon as she walked halfway. It was Xin Ya's grandmother who delivered the baby. Fortunately, her old man was really capable, and the result was a smooth and smooth birth. Get off Xinya.

But in the end, it was sent to the hospital because the mother was bleeding heavily, which is not a problem that can be solved by delivering the baby, let alone the child was born prematurely.

Unexpectedly, on this night, a family in the village caught fire. At that time, the village was full of thatched houses. When the fire caught fire, it was autumn again, and it was burned by the autumn wind. A lot of burns, because that house was the only one in the village with a TV at that time, and the villagers didn't have any entertainment after dinner, and most of them would go to their house to watch TV, but Xin Ya's mother was bumped by that woman during the day It led to a miscarriage, so he escaped a catastrophe.

However, Xin Ya was fine, but her mother passed away on the second day of Xin Ya's birth because of the premature birth and dystocia, and hemorrhage.Later, Xinya's father carried her out of the hospital, and met the crazy woman head-on, pointed to Xinya's father and said, if it weren't for me, your child would be lost, and you still don't thank me.

Xin Ya was terrified at the time, and there was no one around, who was she talking to?
Grandma Xinya was also there at the time. She knew this crazy woman, and saw her daughter's clothes were dirty on her body, and she was sad when she saw things, so she wanted to take her to eat, but this woman He shook his head and refused, saying that he only wanted to see and hug the child.

But this person is insane, who dares to give her the baby, Xin Ya's father firmly disagrees with letting her hold it, whatever it may be, it is Xin Ya's grandma who speaks in the end, so he has no choice but to agree to let her take a look.

The crazy woman tore open the small quilt that wrapped Xin Ya, took a solid look at Xin Ya, but suddenly sighed, her tone became normal, she shook her head and said, "Girl, you will be sad all your life."

After finishing speaking, the woman stretched out her hand and poked her finger on the child's forehead, turned around and left, and Xinya's father was furious. The child had just been born, and the family was unfortunate. From nowhere, such a lunatic came and said What a lifetime of sorrow, isn't this an embarrassment?

Looking at the child again, he was even more furious, and saw a black fingerprint on Xiao Xinya's forehead, covering the seal.

He hurriedly wiped it off with his hands, but the fingerprints were like birthmarks, and nothing could wipe them off.And with the passage of time, the fingerprint seemed to seep into the skin and became clearer and clearer. He panicked. Grandma Xinya was also dumbfounded when she saw the situation.

In the end, it was Grandma Xinya who took them up the back mountain to worship the gods, burned ingots and incense candles, and placed offerings. The fingerprints on Xin Ya's forehead spread slowly and gradually disappeared.

Xin Ya's father breathed a sigh of relief, saying that the damn black mark was finally gone.Grandma sighed and said, it's not gone, to be precise, it should be integrated into the body.

She told Xin Ya's father that this child's life is not good, and he is against his parents and relatives. Moreover, if he hadn't met a noble person, he might not live to be nine years old. The longest is that the crazy woman yesterday was actually helping her.

Also, if Xin Ya survived, the catastrophe would be over.Moreover, the child's name must have the word crow in it.

Xin Ya's father asked if it was the girl's girl, and Xin Ya's grandma shook her head and said, it was the crow's crow.

At this time, he remembered what the woman said, "Girl, girl, I will be sad all my life", I am afraid that she was not talking about "Girl", but "Crow's head"...

Later, Xinya's nickname was Yatou, but everyone heard that she was the same as a girl, so no one paid attention to it. It was not until she grew up that she took a nickname, but the word Yatou was unacceptable after all, so So he used the homonym "Ya" to name Xin Ya.

It's just that although Xinya grew up safely later, her grandmother once said that Xinya killed Rick's parents and relatives. The younger brother was washed away by the river when he was eight years old. When he was 13 years old, her father was in a car accident again...

Fortunately, no one happened again. Although Xin Ya grew up in loneliness and depression, she was safe and sound, and she is almost 20 years old this year, that is to say, she has already survived this disaster .

So today, grandma took us up the mountain to worship the gods, in fact, she asked Xin Ya to fulfill her wish, in order to thank the god for her guidance at the beginning.

Xin Ya's grandmother stopped talking after talking here, and closed her eyes as if she was very tired. Xin Ya asked again, who is that fairy, and why has she never heard of it?Also, who is that crazy woman?

After a moment of silence, grandma's voice came in a low voice.

"That's the old lady from Houshan. Our ancestors have worshiped it for generations. You seldom in your hometown, so of course you haven't heard of it. As for that crazy woman, if you have a chance to see her in the future, kowtow to her. If it weren't for her, you Can't live now."

After all, grandma still didn't say who the crazy woman was. I thought, maybe even she didn't know, but I had vaguely guessed something. That crazy woman was probably the legendary Crow Girl. Where did she go? There will be misfortune.

But she changed Xinya's life, let her survive, but killed her parents, such a person, if Xinya really sees her in the future, should she thank her, or should she beat her What about a meal?

Xinya couldn't answer this question either, she understood the reason why her grandma told her never to come back, because she was the Crow Girl now, and her grandma didn't want her to bring trouble to her hometown.

On the way back to the city, I asked Xinya what her plans were, she smiled and said quietly, go back to school.

I asked her again if she had foreseen anything in the past few days. She thought about it and said only one sentence: Someone is waiting for you.
