The three of them had finished worshiping at the grave of Taoist Master Qingfeng. Not long after they returned to Qingzhu Temple, a man hurried in outside the Taoist temple, with an anxious look on his face. He said that he was a villager from Shepherd's Purse Village in the north, and that his eight-year-old child was lost.
For three days, no one has been seen alive, and no body has been seen dead!
…
The reason why the shepherd's purse village is called is because there are so many wild shepherd's purses near the village. In the past, the village was poor, and everyone relied on these wild shepherd's purses to survive. Now the village is rich, and the villagers have begun to plant them in large quantities.
Shepherd's purse was sold to cities and became the first representative village in Beijiushui to get rid of poverty and become rich.
Although most of the villagers in the village have become rich, there are some exceptions. For example, Wang Dezhi, who is in the village and is lazy and good at eating, is in his forties and his trouser pockets are cleaner than his face.
All acres of land were sold at low prices.
But it was such an old bachelor who had a woman around him recently.
Everyone in the village has seen this woman. She is from outside. She has a fair face, a pretty face, a tall head, a slim waist, straight legs and a big butt.
Such a beautiful woman fell in love with Wang Dezhi and lived in his house every day, which made other men in the village jealous.
It's just like flowers stuck in cow dung. No one can figure out what it is about Wang Dezhi, a woman who seems to have a normal IQ?
At noon that day, Maomao, who was returning home from school on the weekend, passed by Wang Dezhi's house and heard strange noises in the yard. Her curiosity prompted Maomao to look inside through the crack in the door, but she saw a scene that he would never forget in his life!
A woman with long black hair and a red dress was sitting in the courtyard, chewing on a bloody bone.
She was facing Maomao sideways, with a beautiful figure.
Maomao was so frightened that he stepped back and accidentally made a sound. The woman in red suddenly turned her head and saw Maomao hiding outside and peeping.
She did not chase him out, but smiled coldly at him and continued to chew the bones in her hands.
The "squeaking, squeaking" sound of teeth gnawing on bones has been echoing in Maomao's ears...
Maomao ran home panting. Maomao's parents worked outside all year round, and he and his grandfather were the only ones at home.
Grandpa Chen Laosi saw Maomao's distraught appearance and asked again and again, and Maomao finally answered truthfully.
After hearing this, Chen Laosi frowned and then scolded Maomao:
"Maomao, remember, don't look into other people's homes casually in the future. Okay, don't be afraid, go back to the house and do your homework!" In fact, Chen Laosi's heart was covered with a dark cloud.
The village has not been peaceful recently. First, the old scalper of Guan Jun's family in the west end of the village disappeared, and then the children of his third brother's family also disappeared. The half-year-old child disappeared after saying that he was missing. This made the entire villagers of Shepherd's Purse Village feel anxious.
I was very anxious every day, watching my children closely for fear of any accident.
At night, the white moonlight shone down, and the village was silent.
In Chen Laosi's home, Maomao was lying alone on the wooden bed, and in a daze, there was a sound of "Bang! Bang! Bang!" knocking on the glass outside the window!
The sudden noise woke up Maomao, who had just fallen asleep. He opened his eyes, lay on the bed and mustered up the courage to turn his head and look out the window. It was pitch black outside the window and he couldn't see anything.
Just when Maomao wanted to call grandpa, a woman's voice suddenly came from the window:
"Maomao, Maomao, I've found you..."
After Maomao heard the sound, she was so frightened that she quickly retracted her head into the bed, not daring to say a word, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of knocking on the glass sounded again, louder than before. Maomao curled up in the bed and cried out in fright.
"Giggle, giggle..." The weird and harsh laughter also spread through the glass and into Maomao's ears.
Maomao, who was in bed, suddenly remembered the woman he saw at Wang Dezhi's house during the day. The way she opened her mouth and gnawed on bones, and the sound of crunching, lingered in Maomao's head.
Could it be that she came to the door?!
After a moment, the whole window began to shake violently. At this time, Maomao wanted to call grandpa in, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't speak, and his lips and teeth kept trembling.
At the critical moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Maomao's grandfather Chen Laosi rushed into Maomao's room with a portrait in his hand.
Chen Laosi first turned on the lights in Maomao's room, then followed the sound and looked out the window. Under the dim yellow light, he saw a pale and bloodless woman's face, and that face was actually similar to
Wang Degui’s new daughter-in-law looks exactly alike!
At this time, the pale woman's face was pressed against the glass of the window, her green eyes staring intently at Maomao curled up in the bed!
When Chen Laosi saw that this thing was actually targeting his precious grandson, he was furious. He raised the portrait in his hand, pointed it at the face outside the window, and pasted it on the glass.
It's strange to say that after the portrait was pasted on the glass, the faces outside suddenly disappeared and the windows stopped shaking. At this moment, everything seemed to have returned to calm.
When Chen Laosi saw this and calmed down, he saw Maomao still hiding in the bed and shivering. Chen Laosi felt a little distressed and opened his mouth and shouted softly:
"Maomao, Maomao, don't be afraid, it's okay, grandpa is here, grandpa is here..."
After Maomao heard her grandfather's voice, she slowly poked her head out of the bed. When she saw it was her grandfather, she cried "Wow~!" and jumped off the bed and hugged her grandfather tightly!
Chen Laosi saw that his grandson was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he was even more worried. He still doesn't know how his grandson provoked that thing, and whether the woman is a human or a ghost. He must
Go figure it out.
So Chen Laosi brought his grandson and the portrait to his room. He put his grandson to sleep first, and then he decided to take his grandson to Wang Degui's house early tomorrow morning. He wanted to see who the woman who appeared next to Wang Degui was.
backing!
It's a sunny weekend.
As the rooster crows in the yard, Maomao wakes up from sleeping on the bed.
Although he rested for a night, what happened yesterday still left an indelible shadow on Maomao. His whole mental state was completely different from before. His eyes were dull and depressed, and he was afraid of any disturbance in the yard.
Chen Laosi saw it and felt pain in his heart. After breakfast, he took Maomao straight to Wang Degui's house.
When they arrived at Wang Degui's door, Maomao was scared and didn't dare to go in, so Chen Laosi asked Maomao to wait for him at the door while he went in to find Wang Degui.
Chen Laosi walked into the courtyard and shouted:
"Wang Degui, Wang Degui!"
Wang Degui was lying on the hot kang, sleeping soundly with his "new wife" in his arms. After being woken up by Chen Laosi's shout, he felt a little suffocated. He rushed out angrily, and when he saw Chen Laosi standing there
In the courtyard, half of the anger was gone.
Because Chen Laosi is the only carpenter in the village, last year, he used the remaining wood to make a wooden door for Wang Degui for free. Although Wang Degui is an unlearned gangster in the village, who has helped him?
He did remember it clearly.
"I said Fourth Uncle, why are you here so early in the morning if you don't want to sleep?" Wang Degui said, moving a bench out of the house and placing it at Chen Laosi's feet.
Chen Laosi had a serious face, stared at Wang Degui with a pair of muddy old eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Wang Degui, call out your new wife. I have something to ask her."
