The driver was a man of few words, but the older adults and aunties in the car were more enthusiastic. Thanks to their enthusiasm and the talkativeness of a few of us young people, we finally asked him about the recent news while driving. Weird things happened in Cao Yazi.
This strange thing in Cao Yazi happened more than a week ago. By coincidence, Mrs. Liu should have returned to Huangfeng Village at that time.
It is said that one afternoon a week ago, a farmer named Liu Enbao in the Cao Yazi group of Huangfeng Village caught a strange-looking and huge hairy mouse in his vegetable garden, and this Cao Yazi The strange things started with this hairy rat.
I heard that he had never seen such a mouse before, so he caught it alive and took it home. As a result, the old cat and dog at home were barking manically before he even entered the door, especially since they had been raised at home for more than ten years. The big gray cat had been howling and hissing at the bag in his hand almost since he entered the door, and its fur "exploded" as if facing a powerful enemy.
Liu Enbao, who was generous and bold, was only slightly confused about these visions and didn't think much about them. But this long-haired rat seemed to be feared by cats and dogs, so he had no choice but to put it next to the chicken coop at the back of the house, thinking that by preventing cats and dogs from seeing it, the house might be quieter. .
In Lancang territory, in addition to growing some basic vegetables, farmers also grow cash crops such as tea, walnuts, etc. As for breeding, except for those large breeding houses with distribution channels, ordinary people just raise some chickens, pigs, fish, and sheep. livestock and aquatic products.
Liu Enbao is a single person. His parents fell ill and died one after another when he was in his early thirties. Later, because his wife could not bear the poor life, she quietly left Huangfeng Village with their son, and there has been no news to this day.
A person has to live his life alone.
Later, he saved some money by growing grain and vegetables, and then he followed the example of most people in the village and raised chickens. It was not a large scale, only about twenty chickens. He ate two during the holidays and other chickens. They will be picked out and sold in the market.
Life had improved a bit, but who would have thought that the hairy rat he picked up out of curiosity would turn out to be the source of another nightmare.
I heard from my aunt that the hairy rat that Liu Enbao picked up looked quite normal in the first few days after he took it home. He also fed it some eggs, corn kernels and other things twice a day. This guy has similar habits to ordinary rodents. It moves slowly during the day but is extremely excited at night. After all, except for the long hair all over its body that is more eye-catching, its fat body is not actually an outlier among rats. I don’t know if you have ever seen a bamboo rat with your own eyes. If that thing could grow, it could be bigger than a cat!
After five days passed, Liu Enbao woke up and went to the back of the house to feed the chickens. He found that all seventeen of his chickens had died in the chicken pen. The chicken feathers and blood were all around in a chaotic mess...
What was even more horrifying was that when he looked back, he suddenly discovered that the old cat at home had been hanged from a pear tree. The cat corpse was covered with pear tree thorns, and its throat seemed to have been bitten off by something. The whole head was just hanging on the body by the flesh. Half of the blood on the fur was dry, and some were dripping. It fell on the root of the pear tree.
Of course, Liu Enbao, who was stimulated, still endured his anger and fear, and after cleaning up the dead chickens and cats, he discovered that the iron cage he used to keep the long-haired rats had a big hole, just big enough for the things to escape. , and the mouse has naturally disappeared.
From then on, the evil things in Cao Yazi began. Every day, villagers found that their chickens died en masse without warning, and the village cats were also found dead in particularly conspicuous places every now and then. At first, they were suspected of having chicken plague, but the death of the chickens did not look like they were dying of chicken plague. Most of them were chickens that were still energetic and even lively the day before, but they died in groups early the next morning. And please come. After the veterinarian looked at it, he said that no symptoms were found in the combs, beaks, or even other aspects of the body, so it was not chicken plague.
Later, the villagers couldn't bear this kind of blow and loss, so they jointly went to the village committee and asked the village to come up with a solution. They couldn't just watch the chickens in the village become extinct.
At that time, the village chief and party secretary saw that the people were agitated, so they had no choice but to do ideological work. After all, if this matter had nothing to do with chicken plague, they would not be able to give a reasonable explanation. However, this matter cannot be left unchecked forever. Several families whose chickens died before, no matter whether they bought new chickens or raised chickens, still could not escape the collective death within three days, just like being poisoned. Like a curse.
Fortunately, the village chief has some experience and knowledge, and knows the principle of "capture the thief first, capture the king", ahem, in short, it means to find the source and sort it out from the beginning.
After asking this question, I learned that out of the seven groups in Huangfeng Village, only Cao Yazi had this evil thing happen, and the first family to have problems was Liu Enbao.
When others heard Liu Enbao talking about how he found the chicken dead, and how he found the cat that died tragically, there was a voice soon accusing Liu Enbao of doing something bad to cause such horror. Curse, otherwise so many cats died, why was his family the worst?
A mouth is like a knife. When everyone does not know the truth but is eager to determine the truth, it is easy to be swayed by some conclusions that seem to be close to the truth. This is the so-called "knife's mouth".
Under the condemnation of the villagers, Liu Enbao finally couldn't stand it anymore and told him about catching a long-haired rat.
When he turned the tables, he really gave others the opportunity to accuse him, especially some older people, who insisted that the rat he caught was not a long-haired rat, it was obtained from Cao Yazi. Taoist Qiu Xian! It was precisely because of his disrespect for Qiu Xian that Cao Yazi was in trouble. This was Qiu Xian's punishment!
At this point, the aunt suddenly stopped, patted the sofa seat in front of her, and anxiously shouted to the driver to stop, saying that she had arrived.
After Auntie got off the bus, there were only three of us passengers in the car, so we didn't hear what was going on. The driver seemed to be deliberately avoiding talking about these things, and the atmosphere in the car inevitably seemed a bit awkward. A few minutes later, the uncle parked the car and said that the preliminary production center had arrived and he could only send it here. As for Caoyazi, where we were going, we only had to walk four to five hundred meters along the road. They didn’t want to go, but we couldn’t force them, so we paid, thanked them, and said goodbye to the driver.
"Let's just go like this? Won't it look very eye-catching?" Tang Keyun asked.
I understand what she means. Cao Yazi is doing a lot of strange things now, and when he is most sensitive to outsiders, it is quite conspicuous for the few of us to just go in like this.
"Don't forget that we are here to visit relatives. Don't let anyone know when you ask. Be more natural in your speech and behavior. Besides, we are not here to be thieves. We act in an aboveboard and aboveboard way." As we walked, I analyzed with them.
Tai Qing continued what I said and added: "Since we are visiting relatives, we can't go empty-handed. I think we can find a canteen to buy some supplements or the like."
Hehe, this guy is very thoughtful.
The canteens in the village do not have as many products as the small shops and supermarkets in the city. The canteens are all run by private households and sell some daily seasonings, daily necessities, snacks for children and the like. After choosing for a while, we felt that in addition to boxed Apart from the milk, there was nothing else that could be considered a "supplement", so I bought two cartons of milk, along with a bottle of wine and a few packs of cigarettes, and headed towards Cao Yazi.
Of course, the owner of the canteen was also curious and asked about our origins. After all, young people of our age are generally less likely to patronize such canteens that are about to be eliminated and banned. But there are more reasons, I think. Or because of Tang Keyun, the iconic beauty who is traveling with us.
Stop gossiping.
The three of us walked along the road, and saw scattered houses from the top of the hill to the foot of the mountain. There were only a dozen or so households in total, but no one was seen working in the fields. In comparison, Dengxing Village was quite busy. Become popular.
However, it didn’t bother us that no one was there. We didn’t think of going to the primary manufacturing office to inquire about it before. When we were buying things at the canteen, we got close to the boss and asked about the approximate location.
"This grass cliff does not surround mountains and is not close to water, but there is wind and no trace of water. The grass and trees are diseased and withered, which shows that the vitality is disordered and evil spirits are spreading. Feng Shui Feng Shui, but there is wind but no water, which affects the earth's atmosphere and people's connections. It is an irreversible damage. As time goes by, this place will definitely become a desperate place. At that time, the earth's energy will be blocked, people will be cut off, evil will be turned upside down, and it will become another evil place..."
I listened to the ghost girl for about four to five minutes, and she probably meant that there was something wrong with the feng shui of Cao Yazi and it was not suitable for long-term living. On an impromptu basis, I asked her if she knew what kind of monster the hairy rat was. According to what the aunt said, it seemed that everything was caused by the "Qiu Xian" the old people called her.
Before the ghost girl could say anything, Tang Keyun finally couldn't hold it any longer and started talking to us about the master called "Qiu Xian".
"Hey, why do you think this ball fairy has such a name? Does it mean that this guy looks like a ball?" She walked in front of us, suddenly turned around, and asked as she walked backwards.
I was stunned and glanced at Tai Qing. The guy shrugged and immediately agreed: "There is a possibility. If you think that the long-haired rat is the so-called ball fairy, it doesn't fit its huge body in the description. ?"
The two people's way of thinking is now connected. I am not sure, but I have a vague feeling that this is not the meaning. Fortunately, the ghost girl answered this doubt for me next.
"This girl is so funny. If the villagers are right and the long-haired rat is really a 'Fairy Fairy', then this guy's identity is definitely a hyena. This Fairy-haired Rat is not a ball, but fur, that's what he wears Another way to refer to long hair."
He is such a Qiuxian. When I told them this, they said that this was just a guess. Maybe that guy was really just a chubby "ball fairy"? Moreover, these two people actually started to delve into the source of my remarks.
Only she and I know about the existence of the ghost girl. We haven’t told my mother about it. Naturally, I won’t let anyone else know about it. It’s not for any other reason than that I don’t want more people to be involved in the mysterious volume. Influence comes.
"I just suddenly remembered a story I heard from my grandpa when I was a child. In it, there was a long-haired monster called Huixiu, also called Qiuxian." I can't help it, I feel like I'm a liar now...
While we were chatting, we suddenly heard a dog barking, and then a large khaki-colored dog rushed down the slope of a small hill in front of us. Judging by the momentum, it was heading for the three of us!
Tang Keyun exclaimed and tightened Tai Qing's arm. At this time, we two gentlemen should stand in front.
The big dog was almost as tall as my knees, and it rushed down so fast that our quickest reaction was to take protective measures with the milk in our hands, and there was no time to look for other "weapons."
From the time we saw it to the time it rushed in front of us, it only took more than ten seconds. I took the lead in throwing the carton of milk in my hand at its head. Don't blame me for being cruel. The native dogs in the countryside are easy to raise. The danger of such a big guy really knocking someone down is no joke.
It's a pity that the injury on my shoulder has not fully recovered. I couldn't use much strength to throw it out. Although it hit the yellow dog's head, it only forced it back a few steps. Instead, it angered it and roared. Jumping up again!
Speaking of Tai Qing's skills, he is worthy of having won a good ranking in martial arts competitions, and his reflexes are also surprisingly fast. He grabbed the yellow dog and used retreat as an advance to advance, and a right whip leg landed on the dog's head accurately. Go up and kick him to the ground.
I looked at the yellow dog that had rolled over and fell to the ground. I quickly picked up a few fist-sized stones from the side uneasily and gave one to Tang Keyun. I blocked her behind me and stood next to Tai Qing again, ready to hit the target at any time. .
Any creature will feel pain and fear when it is attacked, but super beasts... ahem, sorry to get involved.
The yellow dog was probably knocked unconscious by the kick. He roared and stood up. He stared at us with hostility and steadied his body. However, blood was visibly flowing from the corners of his eyes and mouth and nose, and he looked very miserable and embarrassed.
Just like this, it still has the momentum to rush up and attack us, with a fierce look in its eyes and a whirring breath from its mouth and nose...
We didn't dare to relax and stared at its every move.
"Caicai! Sit down!" Suddenly, just as the yellow dog was about to charge up again, a scolding sound came from the air. From the sound of the voice, it sounded like it was a woman. When the yellow dog heard the sound, it actually roared and sat aside obediently. Looking at its obedient appearance at this time, if the blood on its face hadn't been more conspicuous, it would have been hard to imagine that this was the same as the fierce guy before. Same dog.
"Who are you? My cabbage never bites people in the village! Why did you hurt it like this? Cabbage, come here! Hey, hey, hey, you bad guys!"
The owner of the voice was a little girl wearing a raincoat and a big hat. She probably saw the blood on the face of the dog named Baicai, and her attention suddenly returned from us to her beloved dog.
When Tang Keyun saw the dog owner's appearance, she was already angry because she was frightened by the yellow dog. But now, it was good that she was beaten upside down. It was strange that the anger could be spread all over the place.
"You're being unreasonable. It's obviously your dog that's trying to bite us. Even if we kill it out of self-protection, you won't be able to hold it accountable. Besides, as the owner of the dog, you didn't supervise it strictly. You hurt someone, and we haven’t brought you any trouble yet, yet you actually complained to us first, and then you accused us of being bad people instead?”
The little girl wiped the blood from the yellow dog's face distressedly and scolded back fiercely: "My Baicai will not bite people for no reason. You must be bad people. You must have done something bad to make Baicai angry! "
Tang Keyun stopped Tai Qing and I who were trying to explain. Instead of getting angry, she smiled and said, "This dog and its owner are really of the same moral character. It's just unreasonable. It also likes thieves and shouts to catch thieves. Is this the custom of your village? What if? We are bad people, then you are worse than bad people... worse, bandit! Yes, bandit!"
"You! You're talking nonsense!"
Seeing that Tang Keyun was unable to speak, the little girl actually held the cabbage and wiped her eyes.
I signaled Tai Qing to stop Tang Keyun. This girl must have been mad to lose her temper with a little girl.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Little sister, we came back from other places to visit relatives. We are not bad people. What this sister said is just angry. She didn't mean it. Don't take it to heart." I knelt down and tried to communicate with her.
"Your cabbage was indeed attacking us just now. If we don't fight back, we will definitely be bitten. I believe you can understand this, right? As for its injury, we are sorry. Don't worry, I know a veterinarian who treats Many seriously injured animals have been cured, your cabbage is so strong, there will be no problem!"
She put her big hat behind her back and looked at me with red eyes, "I, I'm not a bandit!"
…
The little girl's name is Yang Hongyu, the daughter of a farmer's family in Caoyazi. When we entered the village today, she happened to fall asleep while herding sheep on the hillside. She only woke up when she heard the barking of the big yellow dog Baicai. We thought it was Someone stole the sheep, so he got up and ran down the hillside.
Yang Hongyu woke up and ran to the bottom of the slope. Her mind was troubled by the information about the sheep thief. She didn't think too much for a while and immediately regarded us as bad guys. However, when she saw the miserable state of her proud "bodyguard" Baicai , frightened and angry at the same time, and then he couldn't help but criticize us.
"So, big brother, you are Aunt Qin's...nephews?"
