The sky is gradually getting brighter. The old men doing morning exercises have already gone out to stretch their arms and legs, and are ready to go to the park to play Tai Chi and seduce the old lady. The hard-working working group are also obsessed with huge dark circles under their eyes.
Wake up in a daze and get ready to face the new day.
In the back room of Fuze Hall, although we three young people were all injured and had not slept all night, we were already listening with eyes wide open to the two old men talking about the blank experience of thirty years ago.
Uncle Wen told us that things were really different thirty years ago than now. When we arrived in Qitaihe, because we had out-of-town registration, we would often be questioned even if we stayed in a store. We were treated as if we were wandering around many times. Moreover, we
People who work in this profession don't dare to say it out loud, for fear of being discovered and labeled as witch doctors who promote feudal superstition, so the two brothers can only pretend to have nothing to do and walk around the streets every day, specializing in old men and women.
I made a living by chatting in a place, because at that time, compared to the young people, it was the older people who knew more. You must know that there was no Internet at that time, and the most advanced thing was the telegraph, but the power of word of mouth is always the greatest, so it is also
I can find out some things.
The two of them inquired about operations during the day and at night. Although the conditions were difficult, they were young and had the advantage of being able to endure hardships, so the two of them didn't care and continued to live a life of doing good deeds without leaving their names until another year passed.
The two of them had almost visited the area around Qitai River and were about to go to the next place. When they were about to leave Qitai River and wait for the train at the train station, they suddenly heard the local fellows chatting and talking about erection.
There was something like a mountain god in Lima Farm, which was quite evil. It had a nose and eyes. At that time, Uncle Wen and Uncle Lin were wandering around without any goals. When they heard about the mountain god, they immediately became interested, so they changed their minds.
For the itinerary, head to Boli County first.
At that time, Boli County was still a very poor small county. People's living standards could only maintain subsistence and clothing. Not to mention transportation, even the few tractors were the property of the production brigade. The two brothers
When we came to Boli County, we asked about the route to the racecourse. Fortunately, although the people at that time were poor, they were very simple. We happened to meet a local fellow who worked at the racecourse, so the two of them took the fellow's donkey.
The horse farm to which the car is headed.
Along the way, the two of them pretended to be chatting and asked the fellow countryman if anything strange had happened at the racecourse recently. The country people were simple and enthusiastic and couldn't hold back their words, so they told them that there was really something strange, and that was the old man who was planting corn in the mountains.
The old man of the Zhen family has died. He was a famous birthday boy in all the villages. However, the death of the old man was a bit strange. He died with a smile and one eye was missing. His family was very poor.
I can’t afford to buy a coffin, so it’s still at home.
When Uncle Wen said this, I was stunned. Damn, wasn't he talking about the old diver? I was trembling a little when I thought of the wet corpse. Lao Yi also suddenly thought of his bitter first kiss and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
It means to want to vomit.
As soon as Uncle Wen mentioned the Zhen family, Uncle Lin beside him sighed, and then said to Uncle Wen: "What are you doing with your children? Is it of any use?"
Uncle Wen glanced at Uncle Lin and surprisingly did not quarrel with him. He just sighed and said: "Since you want to tell them the truth, tell them everything. Don't you feel uncomfortable after hiding it in your heart for so many years?
"
Uncle Lin shook his head, said nothing, lowered his head and started smoking again.
Uncle Wen told us that this was the origin of their relationship with the Zhen family. When they found the Zhen family, it was already evening. The Zhen family was very poor at that time and there were many people. Lao Yi’s godmother and I
Aunt Zhen is still a little girl in her teens.
The old man of the Zhen family did not have dementia at that time. When he was still in his prime, his family was keeping a vigil, but suddenly two young children came. The old man Zhen stepped forward to ask what was going on with these two young people. At that time,
, Although it is a period when everything is waiting for improvement, feudal superstition is simply untenable, but in remote mountainous areas, this kind of thing is still very popular. The two brothers have been living in Heilongjiang for two years, and they know what to say,
So I told the Zhen family that I was Mr. Yin Yang who traveled from other places. I heard that your family had an affair, so I came to help your family handle it. Of course, we didn't charge a penny, just to accumulate virtue.
Mr. Zhen was very happy when he heard this. He knew that he was worried about not having money to find someone to take care of it. It was good that someone came to his door on his own initiative, and he didn't need any money. Although the two of them looked younger, they still had this feeling in their hearts.
There was some comfort, so he invited the two of them into the house with great gratitude.
Uncle Wen said: "The Zhen family was really poor at that time. The whole family lived in a big shack on the mountain. None of his children had any shoes to wear. It's unimaginable that in that era, his family didn't even have corn noodles.
I couldn’t even eat the big pancakes. It was winter, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and even the wild animals were almost starving to death. That night, Mr. Zhen took out some sweet potatoes from home and steamed them, then gave them to Uncle Wen and Uncle Lin.
His family only had one meal a day, so the children at home were watching. Looking at those looks, Uncle Wen really couldn't stand it anymore, so he opened his backpack and found some for use in Qitaihe.
Bacon exchanged for food stamps.
They all came from poor families and had nothing to be particular about, so he took out the bacon and distributed it to the children, which made his family very happy. You must know that in this winter, even during the New Year, it is hard to eat meat.
And these two people came to help for free and even gave them meat to eat. How could they not make them happy? Mr. Zhen almost regarded them as gods who saved people in distress.
Uncle Wen and Uncle Lin saw that this family was really poor, so they had no reservations. They took out all the edible things in the canvas bag and gave them to them. Only then did Uncle Wen have time to look at them carefully when they were dividing the food.
After them, there was only one adult in the family, Mr. Zhen, and the rest were all children. The youngest was my and Lao Yi’s godmother. She was still a child at that time, and the remaining few men were older than the two senior brothers.
One or two years younger, the eldest one is Mr. Zhen’s eldest girl, Zhen Ying. She looks to be two years older than the two junior brothers. She is the eldest sister, but she is the thinnest among the children. She seems to be easily affected by the wind.
It almost blew her over.
When Uncle Wen mentioned the eldest sister of the Zhen family, his eyes were full of melancholy, but there seemed to be a hint of tenderness. We didn't know why he was telling us this. Uncle Wen didn't look at us, as if he was talking to himself.
, he sighed deeply and said softly: "At that time, she was so sensible and kind. She was always worried that her brothers would not have enough to eat, so she gave herself all the dry food we gave her.
My brothers, and I pretended not to be hungry."
Uncle Wen went on to say that after eating, he and Uncle Lin got to work. After all, they were not here for fun this time. They wanted to see what was weird about the dead body, so they borrowed
During the night vigil, I walked up to the body. The Zhen family was poor and didn't even have incense. They just used a broken straw mat to cover the body. Uncle Lin winked at Uncle Wen. Uncle Wen nodded and didn't move.
He opened the straw mat in a sultry manner, only to see the ragged old man Zhen Junbo lying upright, his face turned dark gray due to blood coagulation.
The strange thing is that people should have expressionless faces after death, but this old man Zhen Junbo seemed to be smiling. Uncle Wen stretched out his finger and touched the eyelids of this old man Zhen Junbo. Sure enough, his left eye was missing. At that time,
Uncle Wen was actually much more professional than our generation. He felt that something was wrong, so he pressed his finger into the corpse's eye socket. After retracting his hand, he put his finger in front of his nose and smelled it.
But he smelled an earthy smell, and when he looked up, he saw a gray hair. Uncle Wen was surprised. He hurriedly winked at Uncle Lin. When Uncle Lin saw him sniffing his hand, he guessed it.
Probably, he hurriedly checked the hands of the corpse and found that the left hand of the corpse was tightly held and could not be broken open no matter what. Uncle Lin knew that there was something fishy here, so he forcefully opened the hand and saw that it was broken.
After opening the hand, a bright object fell to the ground. Uncle Lin picked it up and found that it was a Yuan Datou (silver dollar). The two brothers looked at each other and already knew the secret behind it.
It turns out that this is Zhen Junbo. Mr. Zhen was indeed killed by a monster, but it was a bit special, because Mr. Zhen was voluntary. Since ancient times, he has become a monster of the climate when he went up the mountain. They practice whether they follow the right path or they take advantage of the sideways.
, the righteous people can use the power of the immortal veins to become domestic immortals and wild immortals, while those beasts who seek out the side degenerate into harmful monsters. Because the ten years of catastrophe is like a big sieve, those who can survive are all
They are elites and have good luck, so relatively speaking they have very high IQs. They are afraid of being beaten and do not dare to harm others easily.
But some monsters just need people's three souls and seven souls to practice. You must know that the country has national laws and they have methods, so they came up with a damaging trick, which is to 'change lives for money'. Those monsters hiding in the mountains generally
They are all good at digging holes, and occasionally they can dig into ancient tombs. After getting money from them, they start to find the poor people who go up the mountain, appear like great immortals, and then tell them that they want to save them.
Becoming an immortal can also give their family money, but they must give up their physical body. Those who encounter such monsters are usually poor farmers who have lived a miserable life. Of course they will be filled with joy after hearing the "Great Immortal" say this.
They agreed, but they didn't know that this was a precursor to their own death.
When the monsters see these poor people agree, they will first give them a sum of money, and then take off one of their eyes. After the eye is taken off, those people will die, but you must know that this is all voluntary, so this
People who change their lives for death will always smile after death. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a fair transaction, and they can even avoid the punishment of heaven, so those monsters are waiting for home in no hurry.
After collecting the corpse, after the first seven visits, he found his house through the eyeball and took away the corpse for his own cultivation.
Since Uncle Jiu had encountered this kind of monster that offered money for life when he was traveling around with the two of them before, the two of them were quite familiar with the road. Uncle Wen saw that the situation was not good now, because if the body was taken away, Zhen Junbo would
Because of the sin of greed for money, they will be tortured in hell forever, so the two of them walked to Mr. Zhen who was kneeling to watch the funeral, and told him these words exactly. When Mr. Zhen heard what they said,
I didn't believe it at first, but the story about my father's missing eyes was indeed true, as well as the silver dollar. You must know that this mountain road is full of poor people, where would such a thing be found?
Therefore, he couldn't help but not believe it. He hurriedly asked Uncle Wen what to do about this matter. Uncle Wen told him, don't panic, we will help you naturally, and then the two brothers planned how to deal with the monster.
I told Mr. Zhen what to do, and I just waited until the first seven days were over before the monster showed up.
