Toads, also known as toads, I believe everyone is familiar with this kind of thing. I grew up in a small county, so I am very familiar with this stuff, but this is the first time I have seen this kind of stone toad.
In fact, toads are not uncommon in ancient decorations. There are also toad patterns on bronzes of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. From the Warring States to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, toads have always been considered as sacred objects and have the function of warding off evil spirits. Toads are also considered to be one of the five poisons.
My uncle, this thing suddenly appeared on the coffin. What's the explanation? This is indeed a bit weird, because the surroundings of this stone toad are very moist, as if there is dew. There are one large and one small.
The toad rides on a big toad, with only eye sockets but no eyeballs. Its mouth is so big that it feels like it is roaring or asking for help.
At that time, Lao Yi and I were stunned, what is going on? A toad is lying on the coffin and not biting, but everyone responds to each other? Just when I was a little confused, Lao Yi spoke, and he sighed: "This is a toad lying on the coffin, and the toad is not biting."
Spider is narrow?"
Unexpectedly, this old boy was still in the mood to tell jokes. This made Uncle Lin who was next to him angry. Maybe he regretted in his heart why he accepted such a stupid apprentice with no eyesight. He scolded Lao Yi: "Hurry up.
Get out of here, I feel so bad when I look at you."
When Lao Yi saw Uncle Lin getting angry, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he lowered his head and stopped talking. I saw that the faces of the two old guys were also very heavy, and they were obviously in a very bad mood. With Lao Yi's experience, I can learn from the past.
I stepped on the thunder, so I didn’t dare to say anything.
The people around were also stunned, especially the Zhen family. Aunt Zhen asked Uncle Wen: "Brother Wen, how could this happen? I remember that when my great-grandfather was buried, there was no such thing on the coffin?"
Uncle Wen thought for a while, and then said to the Zhen family: "I'm afraid this is the fault of the carpenter who was bullied by your Zhenling family."
Is it the carpenter's fault? I looked down upon this old man. He's an uncle. How can this look like a stone statue? Even if someone is doing it, it must be the stonemason's fault. Don't tell me your explanation is that the carpenters and stonemasons are from the same family. That's it.
It's like the world's martial arts originated from Shaolin.
Uncle Lin spoke at this time. He asked Aunt Zhen: "Tell me, what good thing did your third child do to make people take revenge like this? If you don't tell me, then I won't care about this matter. Who cares? Who cares?"
!”
Aunt Zhen's face became very embarrassed, and the three brothers of the Zhen family also looked as if they were frostbitten. They thought for a while, and Zhen Fu came out and said to us: "Brother Wen, don't let the family scandal be publicized."
, let’s go over there and talk.”
So he asked the helpers to rest first, and then walked far away with us. Since these two old masters couldn't take care of me and Lao Yi now, Lao Yi and I followed.
Zhen Fu told us what happened when the third child of his family was repairing the ancestral grave. As the saying goes, no matter how harmonious a family is, there will always be a prodigal son. The third child of his family was such a person. He ate, drank, whored, gambled and took money.
Well, my parents have been accustomed to it since I was a child. The family is quite rich, so I have developed a lot of bad habits. As I said before, I beat the lame and scolded the dumb. When he grew up, he still did not do his job properly.
When the old man of the Zhen family saw how unsatisfactory his son was, he immediately became angry and refused to give him a dime from then on, thus cutting off his financial resources. However, Zhen Ling did not take it seriously and did not know.
Where did I get a batch of tobacco seeds? I actually went up the mountain to plant tobacco. Fortunately, the area was not large, and no one in this barren mountain knew about it. The harvested tobacco paste was then sent down the mountain through my friends.
I resold it and made a decent profit.
The Zhen family were extremely angry when they found out about this, especially the old man. He was so angry that he suddenly suffered from cerebral congestion. Fortunately, they were sent to the hospital for rescue in time and were rescued. From then on, the old man was a little awkward when speaking.
Moreover, his mind was not very clear, and he had completely forgotten about his third son.
The third child was a little scared, and he also felt a little guilty, so he wanted to do something to compensate his family. He happened to have some spare money, so he wanted to renovate his great-grandfather's ancestral grave, so he went down the mountain to ask for help.
This group of craftsmen is a family of four. The elderly parents lead a pair of children. Because their craftsmanship is very good and very cheap, they are very famous in the mountains.
The strange thing is that the third child is not a human being, but he actually fell in love with the daughter of that craftsman, so he molested her in every possible way while they were repairing the grave. Since the craftsmen of this family are all honest people, they didn't
How much resistance, anyway, the third child just had a mean tone and mostly touched his hands and feet while working.
But something happened the night before the work was about to be finished. The third child drank too much and even took advantage of the drunkenness to touch the craftsman's daughter's room and insult her!
You know, the craftsman's daughter was just a child in her early twenties, and she was ruined by a middle-aged scoundrel, which made the little girl want to die. Fortunately, her family found her in time and saved her.
When I came back, after hearing the little girl cry and tell her the reason, the little girl's brother was so angry that he suddenly picked up the hammer and went to find the third child to fight. But it was a coincidence that Zhen Ling was at home with his friends.
They drank together, and his friends were all just socialites who were not doing their jobs properly. How could a young boy in his twenties beat them? The poor young craftsman couldn't get revenge, but he was beaten for no reason.
The story reached the ears of Zhen Fu, the second eldest son of the Zhen family, and he was very angry. He thought about why he had such a brother who was worse than a beast, but there was nothing he could do about it. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. After all, he was a
He was born in his mother's womb. He didn't want the matter to become a big deal, so he had to go to the craftsman in person and wanted to keep the matter private. He would give him whatever money he wanted, as long as he didn't see the official. How could the girl's brother be willing?
Do you want to know that money can buy your sister's happiness in the second half of her life? He disagreed with anything, but his parents hesitated. After all, this is not a glorious thing. If there is a turmoil in the city, his daughter will definitely not be able to get married in the future.
Besides, the Zhen family has great influence in these eight villages. If they are offended, what might they do?
So both parties finally compromised, and the Zhen family put down the matter with one hundred thousand yuan as compensation.
After listening to Zhen Fu telling us the reason, the two old guys sneered, as if they already knew who Zhen Ling was, but Lao Yi and I were already furious. What is his uncle's name?
People!!
It is said that there is one type of person who gets beaten the worst in prison, and that is the rapist. You have to know who doesn’t have a sister or something like that. Comparing one’s feelings with others, aren’t you doing something sinful? It’s such a good little girl for you to destroy.
, needless to say, if that craftsman really knows something, they must have done it.
Uncle Wen sneered and said: "Retribution, this is really retribution! I told you that your brother would get retribution, but I didn't expect that he would come so late and have his ancestor's coffin chiseled out with bitter coffin nails."
I really don't know what the "bitter coffin nails" the old magician mentioned are. I looked at Lao Yi, and he also had a confused look on his face. Since neither of us knew, I guess this was Uncle Wen bragging again.
, this word can be completely ignored, but what is certain now is that there is definitely something wrong with that stone toad.
Let’s not talk about whether the craftsman knows this kind of heretical technique, but the word retribution can be completely explained, because Lao Yi and I have proven this word many times. To put it simply
, those who come out to fool around will have to pay it back sooner or later, just like borrowing money from a loan shark, and they often have to pay a lot of interest when they repay the debt.
The Zhen family obviously didn't know what the coffin nail that Uncle Wen was talking about was, but they were obviously very nervous. At this moment, a helper ran over and said to us with a very frightened expression: "No..."
·Okay, no, your old man’s coffin...is leaking!"
Is it leaking? We were all stunned, and we couldn’t figure out how there could be water in the coffin. Just when we were stunned, the two old sticks ran towards the coffin without saying a word. Lao Yi and I
Seeing that the boss had already gone, why did he dare to delay any more? So he ran over too.
It was already past six o'clock in the morning, the sun had climbed up the mountain, and the early morning sunshine was very warm on the face. The early birds in the mountain forest were chirping happily, just like what was said in the junior high school Chinese textbook.
It’s the same as the description, a harmonious and loving scene.
But when we ran to the coffin, our faces changed. I shivered and felt a cold wind rushing down my back, because the scene in front of me was really weird.
Yes, it’s weird, not scary. Although these two words are always connected, they have different meanings. I didn’t feel scared, I just felt weird. Because weird things often have no explanation, even if
Yes, it is mostly ambiguous. Especially those of us who have been influenced by scientific civilization and have grown up, we often feel weird when we see anything abnormal, because there is absolutely no bullshit scientific basis for it.
Just like the sandalwood coffin in front of us. Due to its good texture, it may be a high-quality sandalwood. Therefore, except for the peeling paint on the outside of the coffin, there is not much decay. The coffin is placed on the ground, which is strange.
What happened was at the bottom of the coffin. The ground near the coffin was actually wet, as if there was really water in the coffin.
Moreover, the wet area was still expanding. I swallowed and spit. Damn it, this is too weird! Is there water in the coffin? Where did this water come from?
The faces of the two old guys looked as if they had eaten flies. Although it was still relatively cold in the mountains in the early morning, I could clearly see beads of sweat appearing on the foreheads of these two old masters.
Uncle Wen couldn't care less about his face and shouted to the Zhen family: "Come here!! Get ready to open the coffin! Hurry up!"
As soon as the Zhen family members heard Uncle Wen's urgent tone and knew the seriousness of the matter, they hurriedly ran over and knelt in front of the coffin. Uncle Wen said to me and Lao Yi: "Come here and help pry the coffin, quick!"
"
Lao Yi and I didn't understand what was going on, so we and a few helpers took a crowbar and pried off a few coffin nails on the coffin. After prying off sixteen coffin nails, Uncle Wen calmed down.
, said to everyone: "Gentlemen, now is the time for Mr. Zhen to see the light of day. Anyone born in the year of the Dog or Rooster, please turn around and avoid it!"
After saying this, some people turned around, and then Uncle Wen nodded to those of us standing nearby and said, "Good luck opening the coffin!"
Several of us used the crowbar to lift up the coffin lid, and then pushed the coffin lid aside.
