The root of all this started with a coffin. After saying this sentence, he stopped talking and fell into the long memories again, as if he was sorting out everything in his mind.
None of us interrupted, we just listened quietly. The old village chief picked up the old smoking gun placed on the kang, pinched it with his hands, put in a lot of broken tobacco, and pressed it again. Press it firmly, light it with a match and start smoking.
After blowing out a stream of smoke, he continued, "This big coffin is the coffin of a woman, and it is a poor woman who died in vain."
"It started more than fifty years ago. At that time, I was still young and less than twenty years old. At that time, everyone was very poor. There was a woman named Meihua in this village."
"My mother died when I was ten, and my father passed away when I was sixteen. After my father died, I was left to live a lonely life. This woman, Mei Hua, is also very young and beautiful. She has always been the object of pursuit in the hearts of many young men."
"But this plum blossom just likes Wang Changyou, who she grew up with as a childhood sweetheart. Wang Changyou is a good young man, and the two of them are naturally in love."
"But there is such a bastard in this village, and he doesn't have a serious name. People in the village call him Erhuangzi."
"He is a scoundrel who specializes in doing bad things and sneaking around. He is also lustful and has done almost all bad things. He knows that Mei Hua is a good-looking woman, and he still harbors thoughts about Mei Hua from time to time."
"Everyone in the village knows him. Wang Changyou naturally knew that he had harassed Mei Hua and stalked Mei Hua, so he took special precautions against this bastard, thinking that the two of them would get married soon. Then Mei Hua and himself After living together, I don’t think that bastard would dare to harass Mei Hua again.”
"After Mei Hua and Wang Changyou got married, they lived happily together. Mei Hua is also a virtuous and virtuous woman. She is excellent at hard work and housework, but these two bastards will not give up."
"I still harassed Mei Hua when Wang Changyou was not at home. Finally, Wang Changyou became so angry that he wanted to kill him with a sickle. He chased him for half the mountain. This bastard was so scared that he never dared to harass Mei Hua again."
"More than a year after the two got married, Meihua gave birth to a boy for Wang Changyou. Although the family was poorer, they had enough food. But when Meihua just gave birth to a child, it was the time to supplement nutrition. She only had food. That won’t work either.”
"Wang Changyou went out one day to hunt in the mountains with other men from the same village. He wanted to hunt some game to replenish the health of his plum blossoms and his newborn son, but he never came back."
"Meihua was very anxious waiting at home. It was completely dark and Wang Changyou didn't come home, so she wanted to go out to look for her husband, so she carried her son who was just over ten days old and went out to look for her."
"Because I went hunting with the villagers, I went to the house of the villager who was very good with Wang Changyou and asked about my husband's whereabouts. I found that the person who went with Wang Changyou had already gone home."
"The villager said that Wang Changyou separated from him after he went up the mountain. As for where he went to hunt, he didn't know. After all, the mountain range is very large. It was pitch black in the mountain at night. In addition, it rained heavily the day before. The soil was slippery and the walking was stumbling. I wonder if he had gone too far and couldn't bring it back with him."
"Meihua had no choice but to ask the women of this family to help look after the children while she went out to look for her husband. The villager also went out to look for Wang Changyou. Meihua walked in the overgrown forest and looked for her man for several hours, but she had no choice but to find him. Return to the village, ask the villagers for help, and go out together to find Wang Changyou."
"The villagers are all enthusiastic people. Naturally, they went up the mountain to help Meihua find Wang Changyou. Men from every family came out to help. I also went out to help search at that time."
"The night was very dark that day, and the road was very slippery. The villagers all held homemade torches and kept shouting Wang Changyou's name."
"After an extensive search, we finally found Wang Changyou, who had long since died, in a depression in the mountains, a ravine more than ten meters high. Poor Wang Changyou's body had been bitten to pieces, and all his limbs were missing. "
"It must have been that the road was slippery at night when it was dark. When I was going down the mountain, I accidentally fell into a deep ditch and was eaten by wild beasts in the mountain. Meihua saw her husband's tragic death with her own eyes, and she was so heartbroken that she couldn't bear it."
"Both my parents left me, and now my husband is also dead. I lamented that my fate was so twists and turns, as if the sky had fallen. I couldn't bear it all, and I passed out paralyzed."
The villagers managed to get Meihua back home, and it took her several days to recover before she got better. Other villagers helped find a woman who had just given birth to her child to take care of her, who was only a dozen days old. .
Meihua buried Wang Changyou with the help of some villagers, and Meihua, the woman, took her children to live by herself.
But not long after, something bad happened. The gangster knew that Wang Changyou was dead, so he harassed Meihua again. He came to Meihua's house several times under the pretext of helping with work and tampered with her. .
I was young at the time, and I taught the bad guys a lesson several times.
But later, this gangster got drunk and broke into Mei Hua's house and bullied Mei Hua. Later, Mei Hua couldn't bear the humiliation, so she picked up a kitchen knife and wanted to kill the person who bullied her.
But there was no way this plum blossom could beat this strong bastard. During the fight between the two, the bastard accidentally hacked him to death. The clothes on his body were stained with blood and turned blood red.
When this bastard saw the blood, he realized that he had killed someone, and his eyes started to turn red at that time. He simply did not stop and hacked Wang Changyou's child, who was only more than ten days old, to death. In this way, the Meihua family It’s like destroying the whole family!
After the gangster killed the person, he ran out and hid. Mei Hua's body was also discovered by neighbors, but due to the conditions at the time, the villagers were unable to find out who had killed the person.
We could only bury this poor woman and the child, who was only ten days old, with her husband Wang Changyou.
But this plum blossom was unwilling to accept it and was brutally killed by an innocent person. It was a person who died in vain.
Since there were no relatives left in the world, some villagers could only bury them in coffins hastily. They were filled with resentment and could not be reincarnated, but instead turned into evil ghosts.
On the seventh day after she was buried, she came back to her soul. On the first seven days, she came to seek revenge wearing bright red clothes. After Meihua turned into a ghost, her temperament also changed drastically. She was no longer the gentle and gentle woman, but terrifying and fierce. The devil.
The whole village was looking for the gangster and vowed to take revenge on him, but the gangster had already run away and hid. The ghost of Plum Blossom entered the house of the gangster in the village at twelve o'clock in the night on the seventh day. Home, I didn’t find that bastard.
The devil's nature was vicious, so he took on a fierce aura and demolished all the houses in the second bastard's house. He also found the people in the village who were closest to the second bastard by blood, and destroyed the second bastard's uncle's house. There was such a big fuss that the miscreant's uncle was frightened to death by Mei Hua.
But after scaring the second-bastard uncle to death, the plum blossom didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. Instead, it only aroused her fierceness even more.
Every few days, he would wander around the village looking for gangsters. The villagers were too frightened to leave their houses, so they had to ask for help. At that time, there was a man with high Taoist skills far away from here. The villagers sent someone I went to invite this Taoist priest to come out.
After the Taoist priest came here, he wanted to check the Feng Shui of the place where the female ghost was buried. However, he discovered a surprising thing where the coffin was buried. Someone had tampered with the coffin.
On the bottom of the coffin, there are seven or forty-nine Yin-gathering and soul-condensing arrays engraved on them, covered with a thick layer of paint. After observation, it was found that those who arranged such Yin-gathering things must know how to practice. people.
This was done deliberately by someone. It was obvious that they wanted to turn this woman into the most terrifying ghost. This was probably a set up by someone.
And it was discovered that even the place where the coffin was buried had been deliberately manipulated. It was chosen in a very dark place and buried near a large locust tree. The locust tree also has another meaning: it is said that It is a ghost tree that can attract ghosts.
This is done to prevent the soul of the plum blossom from collapsing. Generally, if you plant a locust tree in your yard, it will gather the surrounding yin energy, stir up the feng shui of your yard, and attract ghosts wandering around. It will make the feng shui around the house unlucky.
It was obvious that someone had deliberately planned to kill Mei Hua and wanted this woman to die, but why would anyone insist on letting a poor woman die?
Moreover, the plan was so thorough that he had to borrow a knife to kill people and let a gangster who specialized in doing bad things take the place of the crime. The killing was nothing more than that.
The Taoist priest did not announce the things he discovered, so he prepared everything to clean up the ghosts, including Taoist robes, talismans, and other things. He also killed a big rooster and took the blood from the comb.
Cockscomb blood is the blood of pure Yang. After preparing all these things, I wanted to do a magic trick to get rid of plum blossoms at twelve o'clock in the night. Sure enough, at twelve o'clock in the night, the ghost plum blossoms appeared. The Taoist priest told plum blossoms to cast a spell and do it himself. Save her and send her to reincarnation!
But Meihua didn't seem to want to accept his salvation. Instead, she scolded him as a stinky Taoist priest for meddling in other people's business. She told him that she died with hatred, unable to swallow her resentment, and that she wanted to kill everyone in the village and leave no chickens or dogs in the village.
The Taoist priest had no choice. Although he felt sorry for the woman in front of him, it was his responsibility to conquer the devil and defend the Tao. He had the obligation to deal with this disaster, so he could only fight with the woman.
But the Taoist priest discovered that this ghost, the woman named Meihua, seemed different from the ordinary new ghosts, and was much stronger than those ghosts.
The Taoist priest understood in his heart that the unusualness of Mei Hua must be related to someone's manipulation. Mei Hua fought with the Taoist priest for a long time. In the end, the Taoist priest lost part of his life before sealing her into a coffin and affixing a powerful... The corpse-suppressing talisman was made to prevent the possibility of Mei Hua's corpse turning into a corpse, and then people were ordered to bury Mei Hua in the ground.
The Taoist priest thought he had sealed the coffin, so he returned to the Taoist temple with peace of mind. Little did he think that this was just the beginning of the disaster, and that everything the Taoist priest did was taken into account.
Just when the Taoist priest returned to his place of practice, a young man appeared in front of the coffin where Meihua was buried and did something to Meihua's coffin.
It was this incident that caused our village to have no peace for fifty years, causing several people to die in this village every few years.
So up to now, only a few families are still living here. The young ones have escaped, and the rest are like us. We, the bad old men, are not afraid of whether we will die or not.
