Young people in the village even praised this as true love, the beautiful love that people yearn for, but it was too bleak and pitiful for the child in her belly.
Mrs. Xu's image in everyone's hearts has changed from an unpleasant gossip to a noble character that is praised.
But on the third day after she drowned, the villagers' comments stopped like a duck being strangled.
Because another villager drowned inexplicably, and three have drowned today. The atmosphere where the villagers were originally feeling sorry for the death of Mrs. Xu turned into panic.
Everyone speculated that Mrs. Xu's resentment lingered after her death, and she turned into a ghost and came back to seek revenge on those who had cursed her.
As for the cause of death of Xiao Zheng and Mrs. Xu, it is still not clear.
And because Xu Jinhua’s fetus was still in her belly, her body was still in the river and had not been fished out.
Xing Baole said that such a resentful corpse cannot be easily touched. The child must be delivered first to resolve the resentment of the dead infant before it can be cremated.
Otherwise, the corpse turned into a mother and child, which would be much more terrifying than zombies. By then, the entire village would be devastated. This is the current situation.
Everyone was panic-stricken and pinned their hopes on Xing Baole and me, hoping that we could properly dispose of Xu Jinhua's body, because everyone speculated that Xu Jinhua was responsible for the drowned villagers. After all, many people had scolded her. .
"But." At this point, Xing Baole frowned and said seriously: "I'm sure that the three drowned villagers were definitely not killed by Xu Jinhua, because Xu Jinhua's soul is still in the body."
I also felt that it was unlikely. I looked at Zhang Meng subconsciously. If Xu Jinhua turned into a ghost and came out to take revenge, the first one to kill would be his daughter-in-law Zhang Meng. After all, the two had deep grudges and would give priority to those who scolded her. The villagers are a bit unreasonable.
Zhang Meng saw me looking at her carefully, her face immediately turned pale, and she begged me: "Mr. Da, I beg you too, you must take care of my mother-in-law's body. I'm afraid that she will come back to me, and I can't Damn it, my daughter is only eighteen years old and has only graduated from junior high school for one year."
After she finished speaking, she hugged Xu Lingxiu's head. The girl remained silent and looked ugly all the time.
At this time, Xu Gang also begged us to dispose of Xu Jinhua's body and bury it properly so that she would not harm others. They also obviously believed that the villagers' deaths were related to Xu Jinhua.
"I'll try my best." After I finished speaking, I looked at Xing Baole and said, "Are you sure Xu Jinhua's soul is still in the body? Have you seen it?"
"Well, I've seen it." Xing Baole said with a solemn expression: "And the soul's resentment is very strong, plus the resentment of the dead baby in the belly, it has reached a terrifying level. The dead baby must be delivered within two days. , if the dead baby breaks open its belly and crawls out on its own, it will be a bad thing, and the first one to suffer will definitely be Xu Gang's family."
"Ah?" When Xu Gang heard this, his face immediately turned pale with fright, and his whole body trembled. He quickly stood up and begged me to dispose of his mother's body tonight.
Zhang Mengye begged us in a panic, so scared that he knelt down in front of us, saying that as long as he solved the problem, he could pay more.
My heart was also very heavy. To be honest, it was my first time to receive vaginal discharge, so I wasn’t sure about it.
But I still comforted them, "Don't worry, I will try my best, but there is one thing I have agreed upon in advance, and you must do it."
"What's the matter?" Xu Gang was stunned for a moment and then continued to promise, "Tell me, Mr. Da, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse."
I glanced at Zhang Meng's face and said: "I delivered the baby from your mother-in-law's womb. After the baby's body is cremated, the ashes must be enshrined at home for three years. A big offering must be made on the first and fifteenth day of every month. You must not give anything." Make mistakes, so that you can live in peace with each other."
Xu Jinhua's body and soul are relatively easy to deal with, but the baby that was about to be born was stillborn, so the resentment must be overwhelming, many times more powerful than the mother's resentment.
Although chanting sutras and dedicating merit during the delivery process can resolve most of the baby's grievances, it cannot be completely eliminated.
It is necessary to enjoy three years of incense offerings to resolve the grievances. Offerings are also another kind of compensation. Otherwise, if the infant spirit makes a fuss, the Xu family will be destroyed.
Even though the infant spirit is small, it is much more powerful than most wronged souls and ghosts because of its great resentment due to its premature death.
"Ah? Enshrining infant spirits?" Zhang Meng immediately stood up after hearing this, and said in a panic: "Mr. Da, there are immortal families who enshrine Buddha statues. How can there be any one who enshrines infant spirits? How can this be done?"
Her body couldn't stop trembling.
"Yes." Xu Gang also said fearfully: "Mr. Da, isn't that infant spirit equivalent to a little ghost? It is enshrined at home. What should I do if something happens to it?"
While his expression was scared, his eyes were also a bit questioning.
"Whatever Master Chen tells you to do, just do it. I have to listen to him on this point, so don't stop inking." After Xing Baole finished speaking, he looked at Xu Gang strangely, "Your mother has a baby in her womb. , they are your brother and sister after all, what are you afraid of?"
I also immediately said that this was a necessary process. If he didn't agree, Yingling might kill Xu's family immediately.
Besides, the death of the infant spirit involves deep cause and effect. I have no way or reason to beat the infant spirit to pieces, otherwise I will have sown evil karma, which is not good for me.
"This." Zhang Meng's expression was very ugly, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Then, okay, Mr. Da, are you sure everything is fine?"
She looked at me with frightened eyes.
I was just about to speak when I suddenly heard the sound of a dog barking in the courtyard. I turned around and saw an old man approaching seventy years old coming.
Even though I was far away, I could feel the corpse energy all over his body. He was Xing Baole’s father, Xing Wushang, and my grandma’s friend.
"Uncle Lao Xing is here." Xu Gang stood up when he saw this and said, "I will go out to buy groceries first. Wife, you can make a fire first. You will eat at my house for lunch."
After speaking, he walked out and chatted with Xing Wushang for a while, then went to the store.
When the little girl Xu Lingxiu poured me tea, she prepared an empty bowl for Xing Wushang and filled it with water.
While we were talking, this little girl had been silent and quite shy. When I looked at her face, her eyes flashed and she blushed shyly.
"Uncle Xing, please sit down in the room and I'll light the fire first." Zhang Meng looked at Xing Wushang who came in and forced a smile before walking out of the room.
"Uncle Xing, you're here." I stood up and greeted politely. After all, I am a person of the same generation as my grandma, so I have to give him enough respect.
"It's okay. We haven't seen each other for a few years. Xiao An is getting more and more energetic..." Xing Wushang said hoarsely.
With the same hoarse voice, Yang Jinghong's was full of magnetic allure, but his was like fingernails scratching glass.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Xing Wushang looked at us and asked, "How are you doing? Have you come up with a clue?"
Xing Baole didn't speak, but looked at me.
I frowned and hesitated for a moment and said, "Although I don't understand the specific cause of their death, the drowned villagers in the village were definitely not caused by Xu Jinhua."
"That's right." Xing Wushang nodded in approval and said, "Xu Jinhua's soul is still in the corpse. Her biggest wish now must be to give birth to the child smoothly first, and it is impossible to harm the energy of the villagers."
"But how did Xiao Zheng and Xu Jinhua die?" Xing Baole said to himself depressedly and solemnly.
This is indeed a question that puzzles us all. There are very few people who go to the river in winter, but Xiao Zheng went to the river inexplicably and drowned in it, and his soul disappeared. It was too weird.
As for Xu Jinhua's death, the villagers speculated that she died in love. Some also said that she was seduced by Xiao Zheng and asked her to go down to accompany him. There are too many different versions of the theory.
But I feel that neither of these two points is possible. Xu Jinhua is pregnant with a child. As long as he is not crazy, it is impossible for him to commit suicide in love.
Xiao Zheng's soul disappeared after his death, and there is no possibility that Xu Jinhua's soul could be taken away. The cause of death is very confusing to us.
The final solution discussed was to get Xu Jinhua's body out first.
However, my heart is always hanging, because the existence inside the red egg gave me an idea before, which made me doubt my thoughts, but I am not sure yet.
During lunch time, Xu Gang and Zhang Meng gave me a toast and repeatedly asked us to resolve this matter, even...
