The old man looked confused and looked at me and then at Ma Yunfeng.
"Who invited you to come over and see Feng Shui?"
I smiled and said: "No one invited us over. As I said just now, I just found something wrong here, so I came to take a look...Uncle, I want to ask something, please help me."
As I said that, I took out fifty yuan from my pocket and handed it to the old man.
The old man was dumbfounded. He probably didn't expect such a big twist in the plot. Just now he thought he was stealing bottle caps, but in the blink of an eye, he actually had extra money.
He was stunned for two seconds and said hesitantly: "This...isn't good, I'm at work..."
Ma Yunfeng took out another fifty and stuffed it into his hand, and said: "What class do you work in? You were snoring when we came in just now. We have something to talk about quickly. Let me ask you, is this old locust tree haunted?" "
The old man's expression suddenly changed and he waved his hands repeatedly: "If you want to say this, I won't nag you. It's so late at night. I still want to live a few more years."
He turned around and wanted to run away. Ma Yunfeng grabbed him and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Since you work here every day, how can you be afraid of ghosts? That hanged ghost on the old locust tree, you are Aren’t you familiar?”
The old man's face turned green: "I'm not familiar with it!"
Ma Yunfeng said reluctantly: "No, you must be familiar with it, and we already know it even if you don't tell us."
He kept winking at me, and I smiled and said, "Uncle, just tell us. We won't talk about ghosts or ghosts in the middle of the night, and you don't have to be afraid. The hanged ghost has been conquered by us." Now I want to ask you about this old locust tree."
The old man was held by the two of us and couldn't run away even if he wanted to. Hearing what I said again, he asked with a crying face: "What do you two want to ask? You can't mess with this old locust tree. There is a dragon in it."
When I heard it, there was a dragon in the old locust tree? ? ?
Oh, this was completely unexpected. I quickly asked: "What's going on? Please tell us quickly. To be honest, we are relatives of Han Youfu's family, not outsiders. We are all from the hometown. Just tell me." Bar."
After hearing what I said, the old man looked at us and slowly let down his guard.
"If you two say that, then I can talk to you about it, but let's not talk about it outside. Let's talk about it inside the house."
So the two of us followed the old man into the house. He sat down and drank some water, and then started to tell.
He told us that the old man Long Huai in the village was indeed a bit evil. There had been several security guards in the school before, but none of them dared to work the night shift here, so he was the only one who stayed.
It's not that he is brave, but he has no choice, because he is an old bachelor. The old house at home collapsed due to rain a few years ago, and he has no money to repair it. He is homeless, so he has to live in the school.
The school hired him as a security guard, specializing in night shifts, and gave him a few hundred yuan a month to take care of food and housing, so he happily accepted it.
To put it simply, he has no food to eat and is homeless. No matter how evil the old Longhuai is, there is nothing to fear. The cricket is still living an ignoble life. Compared with dying of poverty and starvation, being haunted is nothing.
As for Lao Longhuai, he said that this old tree is not only haunted, but when he sleeps here in the middle of the night, he can often hear sounds similar to the braying of cows.
At first he thought someone's cow had escaped, but when he went out to look for it, he couldn't see anything, and he also discovered that the cow's braying seemed to be coming from the old tree.
He also told people about this, and some people speculated that this old tree was often used to tie cattle. Could it be that after the cattle died, they returned to the old tree?
Others said that the old dragon locust tree was hundreds of years old, and it was feared that it had become a spirit and had some characteristics of a dragon, because everyone found that the tree was growing more and more like a dragon.
Anyway, I was just guessing. Later, I invited a Feng Shui master to take a look. The gentleman took a compass and looked around. After some research, he asked someone to drive a few iron nails around the old tree, saying that it could calm down the tree. Live in old trees.
As a result, many students and teachers in the school had fevers and diarrhea the next day. The Feng Shui master also fell seriously ill and almost died.
Only then did people realize that something was wrong, and quickly pulled out the nails, not daring to provoke him again.
After hearing this, I realized that no wonder the security guard looked at me strangely during the day. He must have seen me holding a dragon-seeking ruler and thought I was here to see Feng Shui again.
Ma Yunfeng couldn't help but press the question and said, "This old dragon locust tree is so weird. Doesn't anyone know its origin? And who put the iron ring in the tree?"
The old man chuckled: "Don't worry, we'll talk about it soon. Most people don't know about this iron ring, but if you ask me, you're asking the right person. Don't think I'm poor. My family has been around for generations." They are all from this village and have heard the legend of Old Long Huai."
I guess this old man had very few people to chat with him. Plus, we gave him a hundred yuan. Once this enthusiasm got up, he couldn't stop it and he didn't hide it at all.
He said that the iron ring on the tree was from before liberation. It is said that when the Manchu Emperor abdicated, a strange thing happened in the village.
Because the village was remote and sparsely populated at that time, there were only twenty or thirty families living in it. Lao Longhuai was located far away from the village and was surrounded by wild fields.
That year the Manchu Emperor abdicated, the villagers didn't know about it at all. They worked at sunrise and rested every day. As a result, in the middle of the night, someone heard an old cow mooing outside the village.
The sound was so loud that almost everyone in the village heard it. You must know that there were few old cows in the whole village at that time, so everyone was curious as to whose cow had escaped.
After calling like this for three days and three nights, the villagers got together and said that the sound was too weird, so they all ran out to check it out.
People searched around following the sound and found the old locust tree.
There is nothing special about the reason why it is called Dragon Sophora japonica, because the species of this tree is Dragon Claw Sophora japonica, and its branches are shaped like dragon claws. It is found everywhere in the country, so it is not surprising.
But this old locust tree is different. The tree looks like a dragon coiled above it, with its head raised to the sky, which is very majestic.
It's strange to say that when people came to Lao Longhuai's place, the cow's braying disappeared, and when they walked farther away, the cow's braying reappeared.
An old man in the village who knew some Feng Shui said that this old locust tree belongs to the yin tree, and it may be psychic for more than a hundred years. Especially looking at the shape of this tree, I am afraid that the spirit of the earth dragon has been born in it.
Because it is said in ancient books that the roar of a dragon is similar to that of an ox.
