Although the light was on, I looked around and saw that there was no one in the small house. There was a message on the table saying: "No one is allowed in. I'm going back to sleep. If you need anything, call 166."
The big iron gate outside the Sun and Moon Cemetery is locked, but it is useless. You can get in through the iron railings by leaning on one side and sucking your stomach.
After entering, I held up my flashlight and walked deeper.
Apart from weeds and cypress trees that lack maintenance, the most common thing here is tombstones.
I called them with my flashlight, one by one.
On many tombstones are one-inch black and white photos of men and women, old and young.
These photos all have those two expressions, either with a serious face, or with a smile.
I felt a little uncomfortable. I felt like the people in these photos were all looking at me, so I quickened my pace immediately.
I checked the time, no more, no less, it was exactly three o'clock in the morning.
Walking to the west of the cemetery, there is a large forest.
There is a triangular-roofed house in front of the woods, which looks like an ancient building. This kind of house is generally called a columbarium or columbarium, which is a temporary place for storing ashes.
After a person dies, the ashes are placed here. After selecting a location and completing all formalities, the ashes are moved to the tomb.
I walked over and found that the door was locked and could not be pushed open, so I leaned on the window and held up a flashlight to shine inside.
There are some covered white jars, incense burners, wooden tablets, and an inner room with a leather curtain, so you can't see what's inside.
The surroundings are dark and quiet.
I listened carefully and seemed to hear several men talking in the inner room.
"Whose landlord is this?"
"Mine, come out."
"Yes three."
"Yes, seven."
"Damn it, what's a pair of sevens? You're talking about a seven and a five. You think I'm blind."
I thought in confusion, "Is this someone playing Landlord? How come you can see the cards clearly without turning on the light?"
Then the back room became quiet.
The next second, a cold voice came from behind the leather door curtain in the back room and said: "Brother, come in and play together, we are three short of one."
My face turned pale, and I quickly took three steps back. I shouted loudly into the room: "Children go to school! The money is in the temple! No fun! No money!"
I shouted this, and there was no sound in the room.
It really fucking scared me.
There was no light in the house and no one could be seen, but I heard someone fighting the landlord. I I am from the Northeast. When I was a child, I heard someone say that if you encounter this kind of situation when you go out, it means you have encountered a "lucky card."
"Fu" is also "longevity", which is also called "playing longevity card".
Usually when you go in, you see normal people, three or two people, with money on the table, and they ask you to sit down and play cards.
After you start playing, you will keep winning money, and you will keep winning money, and in the end you will lose it all. At this time, they will say: "You can take a piece of money home and use it as travel expenses."
If you take this money, you will keep your "longevity".
After returning home, the incident will be completely forgotten. The serious consequences may include sudden death, while the minor consequences may result in poverty, heavy debts, unable to save money for anything, and even work where you lose money.
I used to live in Mohe, and my neighbor was an old man named Zhang. He was a lonely old man with no children.
He came to our house every night and told me various stories. In fact, he was poor and came to my house to smoke and eat.
This story about playing longevity cards was told to me by him. I still remember it fresh. Lao Zhangtou was smoking a cigarette and threatening me and said: "Xiao Xiang, if you encounter playing longevity cards when you grow up, tell me to pay the tuition for your child."
, all the money has been handed over to the temple, so I have no money to play.”
When I was young, I asked, "Why do you say you gave the money to the temple?"
Old man Zhang smiled and said: "Haha, because ghosts are afraid of entering the temple."
Old Man Zhang has long since died, probably when I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, but I still remember this story until now.
I was so frightened that I hurriedly ran away from the ashes hall of Sun and Moon Cemetery.
As soon as we ran outside the woods, the big yellow dog came out barking, as if leading the way.
After hesitating for a moment, I followed the dog into the woods.
This forest is different from the one in Guizailing. There are new leaves on the trees. It should be due to the different species of trees.
"Where are the people!"
I looked around and shouted, "Where are you!"
"Don't you want to see me? I'm here! Come out!"
"Danglanglang."
"Danglanglang."
The sound of bells came from ahead, and then a small breeze blew.
The wind blew a piece of paper money with square holes into my face.
I threw away the paper money, took out the knife from my waist, and searched for the location where the bell sounded.
Walk.
Purple light.
I first saw a flash of purple light, accompanied by the sound of bells, and paper money flying all over the sky.
The man with the plastic mask had his back to me. He was holding a basket and shaking a copper bell with one hand. After shaking the bell twice, he would throw a handful of paper money into the sky.
The man shouted at the same time: "Money falls to the ground, a BMW flies into the air, a city god mounts a text, life and death are good and bad, three pillars of bright incense, three baths and three smokes, the body is separated from the fire and burnt, past and present lives."
"Dang Dang Dang." .??.
The man grabbed a large handful of paper money from the basket and threw it into the air. He looked up and watched the paper money slowly float downwards.
I watched and swallowed.
He slowly turned his head and said in a hoarse voice: "You are here."
"Master Hu?"
I tried shouting.
He shook his head and said, "I don't know who Mr. Hu is."
"I am Yuan Wu Chou. I invited you here today for no other reason than to have a chat with you, young man."
"Come with me."
Keeping a distance from him, he walked deeper into the forest for a while.
I saw several grave mounds bulging on the ground, and I counted four of them. None of them had tablets. There was only a stone and a broken brazier placed in front of each mound.
The masked man squatted down and began to burn paper money in the basin.
While he was burning, he said: "Young man, we Five Ugly People are not bad people at all, we are just a kind of inheritance. In the early years, we made a living by performing arts on the overpass."
"We train monkeys, snakes, toads, etc., just to attract the attention of people passing by and add a little showmanship to fill their stomachs, nothing more."
"It's not okay for you to bury Xiao Qin in Guizailing. In a few years, sooner or later, there will be development and clearing there, and they will be discovered. They are also a group of miserable children who have gone astray. I'm here to send him away."
A few meters away, I frowned and asked, "Then why are there only four graves and one is missing?"
He turned back and said with a smile: "Haha, the other one, didn't you sink to the bottom of the water? That's my son."
"Hey, don't worry."
"It's because I failed to discipline him well. He did something wrong and has harmed a lot of people in the past few years. Just stay calm under the water for two years. I will fish him out and bury him in two years."
He said: "You can't defeat Xiao Qin. I secretly asked him to speed up his plan and messed up everything. Now that he is dead, everything is over." It’s over.”
"God Neng Baba, is what Self-Injury Snake has been studying true or false?" I asked.
He said: "Businessmen offered sacrifices to ghosts. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there were no gods, only ghosts. Therefore, it is not the Neng Baba god, but the Neng Baba snake. Legend has it that it is a ghost snake."
At this point, he suddenly laughed and continued: "Nothing will happen if you eat the ghost snake. Where did you find that duck? It is definitely not a common thing."
"You mean Echo Duck?"
I said it was borrowed, with a deposit of 100,000 yuan, and I have to pay it back when it is used up.
After hearing this, the man was quite surprised and said: "You guys are really lucky. If that duck hadn't suddenly eaten the ghost snake, and if Xiao Qin had replaced his hooked blind snake with a ghost snake, in a few years, not
I know what he became in the end."
"Xiao Qin came out of Reincarnation Village (a Dong village in Daping Township, Tongtong County) and became obsessed with theology. He had a very high IQ and studied many things. He also established a research laboratory of his own. He always believed
, there is something in this world.”
"By the way, young man, Xiao Qin said something about you before."
"About me? What did the self-harming snake say?"
"Xiao Qin said that he always feels that there is something in you. It is a very powerful thing. It may be related to some minority tribes. You should be careful in the future."
Before I could react, he added: "They are all dead, but the inheritance of the Five Ugly People will not be interrupted and will be passed down from generation to generation. We don't have to perform as entertainers now, but we still want to help society and help those who don't have enough to eat."
, people living on the streets.”
"Xiao Qin said there is something on you, and I believe him. As the only one of the original five ugly men who is still alive, I want to give you a blessing."
"Give me a blessing? What do you mean?"
"Just stand still and don't move."
After saying that, he walked over step by step, finally stopped in front of me, and got closer to my face.
Getting closer and closer.
"What are you doing...?"
He said: "I want to kiss you."
"piss off!"
I ran away quickly and said, "You haven't been acting normal for a long time! Why the hell are you kissing me?"
"You do not want?"
I immediately shook my head: "Of course not! Go ahead and bless others!"
"Why"
In the end, he sighed heavily because he didn't kiss me.
