As the saying goes, everyone is a knife, and I am a fish. Whoever has a weapon in his hand has the right to speak. Human life is like a piece of grass. This is unimaginable for people in our current era.
My grandma was so frightened after hearing this. She didn’t know where to put her trembling hands, so she had to grab the chopsticks and whisper to my grandpa: "What if the beard discovers the whistle and is tortured to death? There is still a way for us to survive."
ah?"
Grandpa's face turned a little red after drinking some wine. He was obviously a little hot. He took off his cotton-padded jacket and threw it on the kang. He comforted my grandma: "It's okay. I, Lao Zhaitou and Silengzi will throw him up the mountain behind."
It's in the snow. It will be eaten up by wild wolves and wild dogs early tomorrow morning. If Huzi finds out, he will definitely think that the wild wolves picked up this damaged animal before it even came down the mountain. Besides, who is he looking for for this baseless claim?
Are you going? Let's hide the food tomorrow. Nothing will happen, don't worry. Then give me a bowl of rice."
Looking at grandpa's calmness, my grandma felt a lot more at ease, but she was still afraid that she would not be able to eat this precious fine food. Grandpa was tired for a day, and after eating, he lay on the kang and fell asleep.
After my grandma washed the dishes and chopsticks neatly, she lay on the kang and couldn't fall asleep. She was thinking about the beard and what to do if it was exposed. It wasn't until about ten o'clock in the evening that she fell asleep.
But what happened next was even more unexpected by my grandma.
In the middle of the night, my grandma woke up. She got out of bed in a daze and walked to the outhouse with the chamber pot. As soon as she squatted down, she heard faint crying. It seemed that there were many people singing along in a opera.
. She woke up with a jolt. Who was crying in the yard in the middle of the night? Just when she had put up her pants and wanted to look through the window to see what was going on, someone suddenly slapped her from behind. This sudden shock made her
My grandma forgot to shout and looked back.
I saw an old woman wearing linen and wearing mourning kneeling behind her. This old woman had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. Her face looked as white as a piece of paper in the dark night, but her lips were red. She was pulling on my grandma's underwear and crying.
Said: "My grandson's life is miserable. Have you seen my eldest grandson?"
Ah!! My grandma finally screamed. She broke away from the old woman's hand and ran to the back room, trying her best to wake up my grandpa. My grandpa was sleeping soundly, and he cursed: "What are you calling? You're calling for mourning."
?" My grandma quickly told her what she had just seen. When my grandpa heard that someone was in the outhouse, he quickly got up and put on his clothes. He picked up the stove hook from the edge of the kang and ran out. But when he illuminated the outhouse with a kerosene lamp,
How can anyone. My grandfather was so angry that he turned around and scolded my grandma: "Are you sick? You've been sleeping rough." My grandma was in shock now and just shook her head desperately. When my grandpa saw that my grandma was really frightened, he comforted her.
: "It's okay, you were just dreaming. Don't keep thinking about going back and sleeping some more."
Just as my grandma was about to speak, the gurgling cry came out again. At this time, she saw that my grandpa’s face was ashen, and it was obvious that he had heard it. The two looked at each other, but neither of them spoke. My grandpa got brave enough.
I looked out the window. It didn’t matter what I looked at, it really scared my grandfather and grandma out of their wits.
I saw more than twenty people in white clothes kneeling in the dark yard, all wearing hemp and mourning and wearing pointed white hats. The crying came from their mouths. After they cried a few times,
He kowtowed in the direction of the mountain behind him, and then continued to cry. In the middle of the night, so many people suddenly appeared out of thin air in the courtyard, as if they were mourning. The scene was extremely breathtaking.
My grandpa and grandma are now very frightened. How have they ever seen such a battle? Originally, the theory of ghosts was just a word of mouth among the people. It was a pastime for people after dinner or a method used by parents to coax their children to sleep. But today I saw it with my own eyes.
What I saw immediately frightened my grandparents.
Fortunately, my grandfather calmed down quickly. He immediately pulled my grandma into the back room, closed all the curtains, and took out the foreign wax that he had prepared for the Chinese New Year. It was a little brighter, and the light was pleasant.
Feeling safe, grandpa looked at grandma with the stove hook. Grandma had been frightened and cried, but she did not dare to say anything and hugged the quilt tightly on the kang. For safety reasons, grandpa did not dare to go out rashly.
I just whispered to my grandma, "Wait until daybreak and see what happens."
Fortunately, the crying disappeared at about four or five o'clock in the morning. He didn't close his eyes all night, so my grandfather pretended to have the courage to take a look at the window and saw that there was no one in the yard! After another while, the sky became dark. Grandpa
I braved my courage and went to the yard. I saw the door was closed tightly, and it didn't look like anyone had come in. The big yellow dog in the yard was dead, its internal organs had been removed, and the blood was mixed with the snow, and it had been frozen.
Grandpa returned to the house and said to grandma on the kang: "Don't wander around today. Stay at home honestly. I'll go to Nianzi Mountain."
My grandma asked him tremblingly: "Are we talking about something?"
Grandpa didn't say anything. When it was past seven o'clock, he heated up the yellow rice that he had not finished last night. He and grandma ate some and then went out carrying a bag of sorghum rice and a jar of home-brewed liquor that had been brewed for more than ten years.
.
The so-called "for what" is a Northeast dialect, which means to offend the theory of ghosts and gods. In today's terms, it is generally called seeing ghosts. The explanation of modern science is that for some people who suddenly have hallucinations, visions and auditory hallucinations, it is often because
When something happens after experiencing a strange event or scene, people in some places call this phenomenon "challenging evil".
But the world is so big that it is full of wonders. There are many things that we have never experienced personally, and the stories told by hearsay often have ambiguous endings. But this story about my grandparents has indirectly affected my life. This is something to say later.
, let me explain it slowly in the future.
Grandma was really scared now. But she still had to work. When she was going out to clear the snow, she asked Lao Zhaitou's wife and Si Lengzi's daughter-in-law if they heard anything last night. But the answers she got were nothing.
I didn’t hear it. My wife asked my grandma what was wrong, and she told them exactly what happened last night. After hearing this, these old ladies blew up the temple. One said it was haunted, and the other said it was haunted by immortals.
Damn it. My grandma became more and more nervous. They asked my grandpa what he was doing. My grandma told them that my grandpa had gone to Nianzi Mountain to invite people when he got up early in the morning.
Nianzi Mountain is located in the northwest of Qiqihar City and is the remnant of the Greater Khingan Mountains. The most famous thing there is the mysterious Snake Cave Mountain legend. It tells that in the early years of Guangxu, a big snake came out of the hole on the top of Snake Cave Mountain.
, I went to the Yarru River to drink water, and the tail end was still in the cave, which shows how big it is. When the Russians were building the Middle East Railway, they saw this big snake blocking the railway, making it impossible for the train to pass, so they used artillery
Bang it. The big snake became angry and hit several people to death with rocks thrown by its swinging body. Then it returned to the cave again and never appeared again. However, the local people regarded the snake as a god and worshiped it every year.
It is said that there was a capable man named Liu Shuqing at the foot of Nianzi Mountain. Others called him Mr. Liu. This gentleman was in the business of dead people. He opened a coffin shop in the village at the foot of Snake Cave Mountain.
This is the only one in eight villages in ten miles. Mr. Liu's family has a craft passed down from generation to generation. It is said that the ancestors of the Liu family picked up a heavenly book in the snake cave of Snake Cave Mountain. Therefore, the old Liu family has been able to do calculations for generations. In Mr. Liu's generation
What's even more remarkable is that he specializes in choosing ghost houses for the poor people nearby to check the feng shui and break evil spirits. If anyone has weddings or weddings, it is right to go to him to set the date. He is also proficient in the art of exorcism and casting down ghosts. This was unprecedented in the previous area.
Because of his reputation, even the bearded bandits are somewhat afraid of him. Moreover, he is willing to help others and often solves the problems of the poor people nearby for free.
There is just such a Mr. Liu, but he only has one problem, that is, he has a stubborn temper. If he doesn't like you, he won't help you even if you call the dragon. And he is also very good at drinking. Basically, he doesn't like you.
It is said that he is always drunk from day to night, and even when he goes out to help people look around, he always has a bottle of wine in his hand. Someone once saw him drinking by himself but setting up two sea bowls, and even said to himself
Later, everyone learned that he could "pass through the underworld" after drinking, so he was given another nickname, "Drunk Liu". This title was not derogatory in any way, but rather described his ability to interact with ghosts when drunk.
The meaning of dealing.
My grandfather hurriedly went to Nianzi Mountain this time to invite this Mr. Liu. After my great-great-grandfather passed away from illness a few years ago, this Mr. Liu helped find the cemetery. Moreover, he and my grandfather had the same temperament and both liked to drink.
After several bowls of wine at the dinner table, Mr. Liu saw that my grandfather’s drinking capacity was not inferior to his and that we were all generous people, so he started to call us brothers. And we have not lost contact since then, when we met both families during the New Year and the holidays.
To move around.
My grandfather first went to the old driver Baotou in the west of the village and borrowed a donkey cart. After putting things on the cart, he drove the cart in a hurry to Nianzi Mountain. Because of the dirt road in the past, it also snowed, causing the donkey to
The car was very slow. It took nearly a morning to get to Mr. Liu's house. Mr. Liu's wife was hanging clothes outside. She saw my grandfather driving over in the car from a long way away. She hurriedly went to pick up my grandfather. Because she usually
The two families were very familiar with each other, so she didn't want to be outsiders. She said to my grandfather: "Xiao Cui, why are you here so early this year? You haven't eaten yet. Come into the house quickly. Why don't you see your younger siblings?"
Grandpa carried the sorghum rice and liquor into the house, turned around and said urgently to Mr. Liu's wife: "Sister-in-law, help me, where is my elder brother?" When Liu's wife saw the always cheerful grandpa, he looked like this today. It didn't matter.
Something really happened. So she poured a bowl of tea for my grandfather and asked him to sit down first. After seeing that my elder brother calmed down a little, she said, "What's wrong with Xiao Cui? What's going on? Please tell me slowly."
, your damn brother drank too much yesterday and is lying in the back room now."
