Maybe it was because the glass refracted the candle light. I blinked hard and looked at it. The photo of Tang Gui leaning on the chair returned to normal, with a slight smile on the corner of my mouth and no frown.
It's a bit scary, I don't dare to say it.
You could hear the movement in the room through the glass. Brother Tang Gui was a bit perverted. The lid of the coffin shook loudly, but he kept laughing and looked happy.
Douyazai patted me, and I thought he was saying, "That's so awesome. If Old Tang were to live, he would probably be pissed to death."
Xiaoxuan suddenly put her hand in front of my eyes and whispered: "Don't look, there's nothing interesting to see."
I asked him to squat under the window, and Dou Sprout looked a little reluctant to leave.
"Shhh... let's talk lower down."
"Did you hear that?" I asked.
Douyazai nodded repeatedly: "I heard it, it was a loud popping sound."
"I'm not saying he heard that, I'm saying did you hear them mention someone? Someone named Tian."
"My surname is Tian? The one who stole our diving suits two days ago?" Dou Sprout came to his senses.
"Is it possible that they just have the same surname?" Xiaoxuan asked.
I whispered: "This is too much of a coincidence. It feels like they are the same person. Uncle Xue contacted Lao Tian. There is probably something wrong with this person."
"What should we do now?"
Douyazai pointed upward at the window: "Why don't we go in and catch him? He was so frightened that he was weak."
Xiaoxuan kicked Dou Sprout, frowned and said, "Can you speak with some integrity and not consider my feelings?"
Dou Sprout immediately covered his mouth and said sorry.
"Hmm..." I leaned under the window and thought about it for two minutes.
Douyazai's words are rough or not. If you want to get words out of this couple, you have to make them afraid. This is the simplest and most efficient way. So, what are they most afraid of?
They must be afraid that others will know what they have done.
"Have you got your phone?"
Dou Sprout touched his pocket and said, "No, it's my family."
I didn't take it with me either, so I put it on the table. Xiaoxuan knew what I wanted to do, so she reluctantly took out her pink Motorola flip phone.
I gave Douyazai my phone and asked, "Do you know what to do?"
Douyazai rolled his eyes and whispered: "Don't worry, I'm the best at this."
I checked the time. It was past eleven o'clock in the evening and the village was very quiet. I could only hear a few dogs barking in the distance.
"Listen, let me count to three."
"three."
"two."
"one.
"Do it!"
Dou Sprout Zai and I stood up at the same time, kicked out the door at the same time, and kicked the door open with a bang.
In the room, Tang Gui's back was facing the direction of the door, swaying back and forth.
Hearing the sound of the door being broken, he shivered twice and looked back at us with a horrified look on his face.
"Don't move!" Douyazai took pictures with his cell phone.
Brother Tang Gui was frightened, and his sister-in-law was the first to react.
In less than three seconds, Tang Gui's wife instantly covered her face with her trousers, her movements were smooth and smooth, and she looked like a veteran.
"How about it?"
I looked at the mobile phone that Douyazai was holding, and the photo was all black. I could only vaguely see two figures, but I couldn’t tell what they looked like. This was because the light was not good.
Dou Sprout reached out to pull the light cord hanging from the wall, but with a strong pull, the light cord snapped.
The light source in the room now is the two white candles standing on the chairs.
"You... who are you! Why are you coming to our house!"
Brother Tang Gui tied his belt in a panic.
Douyazai scolded: "Fuck, you are such a pervert, asking who we are and what we do."
"Okay, then I'll tell you."
Douyazai pointed to the mobile phone in his hand and said loudly: "I'm here to take care of you!"
"Do you understand? I'm going to the photo shop to print out five hundred photos! Then I'll put one on the door of every house! Let the whole village know the good deeds you two bad men and women have done!"
Brother Tang Gui was frightened and said tremblingly: "No... no, brother, please tell me if you have anything to say. It was her. She was the one who seduced me!" He pointed at his sister-in-law.
I shook my head, this is a piece of trash, I dare not admit it.
Tang Gui's wife's face gradually calmed down. She looked at me and asked, "You three are outsiders who came to our village a few days ago. What do you want? Money? I only have a few thousand yuan."
Tang Gui's wife is pretty good-looking, with a fair face. She is about forty years old. When she talks, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes are obvious. I heard people say that this kind of crow's feet is a kind of peach blossom appearance. No wonder she does such a thing.
I said: "I don't want money, I want to ask you something, you tell me all the details you know, then..."
I pointed to my phone: "I deleted it in front of you. When we leave in a few days, no one will know about you."
"Okay, if you want to ask anything, just ask."
"A few days ago, did a man named Tian come to see you and your husband? Did this man ask Tang Gui to steal the Taoist statue from Guizai Temple?"
"Yes," she admitted directly: "The man suddenly approached me as the head of the family and offered us 20,000 yuan to steal the statue to him."
"What does that man look like? Why does he want a clay statue? And why doesn't he get it himself? Instead of paying your husband to do it?"
Tang Gui's wife described the man's appearance. After hearing this, I looked at Douyazai and saw that it was indeed Lao Tian whom Uncle Xue had found.
"I asked, and the man said he wanted the statue to sell antiques. As for why he didn't dare to do it, it may be because our village has always had a secret taboo against the Taoist statues in Zaizai Temple."
"Oh?" I didn't know about this and asked what the taboo was.
The blush on Tang Gui's wife's face had faded. She gritted her teeth and said: "We in Tiandong Village all know this matter tacitly and will not tell outsiders. Even the villagers will not tell each other.
It’s not that the head of the house owes a huge debt, and he doesn’t dare to agree to steal it. Anyone in the village who has trouble around Guizailing will not call the police, but will handle it himself."
When she said this, I remembered this. Indeed, even though it was in a remote rural area, after a person died abnormally, no one in the village called the police, and no police officer came.
At this point, Tang Gui's wife took a deep breath and said:
"My grandma once told me that for more than a hundred years, the village invited a Taoist priest named Chen. After seeing Guiziling, the Taoist priest said that he was going to die tomorrow."
"He told his disciples that after he died, he should cut off his head and wrap it in cloth and take it away. Then he would burn his body, mix the ashes into the mud, and burn a clay statue."
"As a result, the Taoist priest died the next day. Seeing that his master's body was incomplete, the Taoist apprentice asked the then Bao Zhang to find someone to braid a head with rattan sticks, sewed it on the head of the corpse, and cremated it together."
"After the Zaizai Temple was built, the Taoist apprentice arranged for a woman in the village to draw a yellow talisman for her. He said that with this talisman, he could manage the annual incense burning and worship at the Zaizai Temple as a
In return, the Taoist apprentice said that if you look at the temple girls, regardless of gender within five generations, there will definitely be a person who will be among the dragons and phoenixes, who will bring glory to the ancestors."
After stopping here, Old Tang’s wife looked at me and Dou Sprout and said:
"You must have seen this way of looking at temple girls. That yellow talisman paper has been passed down six times so far."
"As for the temple girls, people in our village call them Yapo."
