Chapter 778
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 pants. 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. The photo was all black. I could only vaguely see two figures. 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 bastards have done!"
Brother Tang Gui was frightened and said tremblingly: "No... no, brother, please tell me if you have something 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 if I dare to do 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 surnamed Tian come to see you and your husband? Did this man ask Tang Gui to steal the Taoist statue from Gui Zai Temple?"
"Yes," she admitted directly: "The man suddenly approached me as the head of the household and offered us 20,000 yuan to steal the statue to him."
"What does that person look like? Why does he want a clay statue? Also, 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 there has always been a secret taboo in our village about 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 has 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 agree to steal it. Anyone in the village who has trouble around Guiziling will not call the police, but will handle it himself."
When she said that, 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 told me before that more than a hundred years ago, the village invited a Taoist priest named Chen. After this Taoist priest saw Guizailing, he said that he would 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 human head out of rattan, sewed it on the head of the body, and cremated it together."
"After the Zaizai Temple was built, the Taoist apprentice arranged for a woman in the village and drew a yellow talisman for the woman. He said that with this talisman, he could manage the annual incense burning and worship in 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 a dragon or a phoenix and will bring glory to the ancestors."
After stopping here, Old Tang’s wife looked at Dou Sprout and me and said:
"You must have seen this way of looking at temple girls. The yellow talisman paper has been passed down six times so far."
"As for the temple girls, people in our village call them Yapo."
