In front of the deserted village, there is a small river. The river flows through the desert. When passing the deserted village, it is already quite impressive. This small river passes Shaoqiu's house, and not far downstream is Meishan Mountain. Meishan is a big village, and there are many wealthy landlords and businessmen in it. There are many rich people, and naturally there are many beautiful women.
There is an ancient tree in Meishan that cannot be hugged by more than a dozen people. The bark is old and ugly, covered with dirt, and there are quite a few unknown birds living in it.
And just this year, for some reason, the ancient tree was struck by lightning, and a large piece was chopped off. The ancient trees are no longer prosperous and prosperous as in the past, but there is a sense of desolation and helplessness. Since then, the ancient tree was struck by lightning, and people in Meishan said that Meishan was in ruins and that it was an outrage. Otherwise, why would it have been struck by lightning? However, many people have doubts about these statements, and naturally many people believe them.
Someone with a good appearance passed by here one day. The sun was scorching like a fire and it was inconvenient to continue on the road. However, it was quite shady under this ancient tree. I was not busy walking for a while, but I stayed under this ancient tree and sat down. On a clean stone. When looking at the ancient tree at this time, for some reason, they shouted, "It's not good!" And hearing the sorcerer's exclamation, the people of Meishan were quite surprised. They didn't know what happened to the ancient tree. It was struck by lightning. , as for what all the fuss is about?
And this warlock, facing this ancient tree, sat on this stone for a while, crying quietly. Of course, the people of Meishan did not take this kind of nonsense to heart. People still sleep when they should sleep, and hug women when they should hug women. No one will take the magician's nonsense to heart, and the magician does not force people to believe his words. He sat on this stone and cried for a while. Then he left angrily.
Not only that, in a dark night, there were people in Meishan who had insomnia. The sleepless people were listening to this small river alone in this dark night. The sound of the river sounded desolate, even frightening, at this time. And the strong wind howled and blew past. Many houses were damaged wherever it passed, and the screams naturally continued. I don't know what happened.
It was really a long night. There was a strong wind, and Meishan returned to calm. For a while, almost nothing could be heard, except for the small river murmuring eastward. But at this time, I heard the sound of high heels stepping on the bluestone pavement. In a trance, I heard the woman calling softly, "Give me my head back."
Naturally, people in Meishan cannot hear such small sounds, not to mention that most people have already fallen asleep. The only ones who can really hear it are the sleepless ones. At this time, I was so scared that I almost didn't dare to stay in the house. I wished that this woman would not stay in front of my house. It was best to leave as soon as possible.
However, the woman didn't know what happened at this time, and actually sat down in front of the sleepless man's door, and whispered softly, "Give me my head." However, the sleepless man had never done this in his life. He is not afraid of the appearance of this thing at this time. Besides, he even has a knife in the house, which can suppress evil spirits. Not to mention that this is just a female, so what if it is a male. ?
After such a stalemate for a while, the sleepless man gradually fell asleep. When he woke up again, he listened carefully and heard nothing. The wind howled across the Meishan sky, but no more stones were heard falling, and no one screamed.
When the sleepless man woke up the next day, he felt that he could no longer stay in Meishan. The feng shui had been ruined and if this continued, he would not be able to live a peaceful life. No, a few days later, the sleepless man quietly pulled all his belongings into a big car and walked away secretly in a dark night, braving the drizzle.
Of course, the people of Meishan also quite understood the sudden departure of the sleepless man. It was natural that he had gone to make a living elsewhere. It was perfectly normal, so why was there such a fuss? However, Sleepless Man is an upright person who is known to all in Meishan. Once he leaves, he has the momentum of never coming back, which is quite incredible.
After that, many people followed in the footsteps of the sleepless people and left Meishan one after another. Where they went was impossible to verify for the time being. However, other people, especially the second-rate people, think there is nothing wrong with living in Meishan, and they should laugh at those who persuade them to leave as soon as possible. As for leaving the place where you grew up?
Naturally, Carpenter Zhong didn't want to leave, because Meishan was where he urinated and lived. He was used to the mountains and rivers here, and it would be inconvenient to look for other places to live. Moreover, I am not young anymore, and it is fashionable to leave my hometown when I am old. The desolation in this is something that outsiders cannot understand. It is best to stay here in Meishan. Even though it is not as prosperous as the city, the plants and trees are all sentimental to me, so naturally I am reluctant to leave.
Carpenters usually help people repair their houses, make doors and windows, repair cabinets, or just make a small chair for others. However, Carpenter Zhong's life was pretty good. He had no worries about food and clothing, and he also raised a son and a daughter. This was quite acceptable in a deserted village. You know, in this remote rural area, there are countless single men. It’s not that they can’t find women. The reason is that there are no women at all in this deserted village. Those with a little bit of looks left this deserted village long ago, preferring to go out to beg for food, which is ten thousand times better than staying in this desolate place.
Carpenter Zhong himself did not look very good, but the wife he got was quite good-looking. People in the deserted village praised Carpenter Zhong for being lucky to find such a good woman. However, Carpenter Zhong didn't care. It seemed that all this was arranged by God and was not dependent on human will.
Carpenter Zhong's woman usually has nothing to do when she stays in this deserted village, and has nothing to do on rainy days. But she also stays in this house on this nice sunny day, playing cards with some idle people in the deserted village. This is somewhat unreasonable. You know, no matter it is windy or rainy, even if the sky is freezing, Carpenter Zhong will still carry his own baggage and go to work on other people's houses. However, Carpenter Zhong’s woman didn’t care about people’s comments. She was such a beautiful woman, but she only married Carpenter Zhong. Even though she sympathized with Carpenter Zhong for being honest, she would still grow long when she dreamed about it at midnight. The ground blew out a breath of cold air.
On this day, Carpenter Zhong carried his own baggage and braved the heavy snow to make beds for others. Carpenter Zhong's wife stayed at home. She listened to Carpenter Zhong's words and didn't go anywhere. She just stayed in the house to warm herself by the fire and chat with some women who came to her house to chat.
At the end of the day, when it was getting dark, Carpenter Zhong hadn't returned home yet. Carpenter Zhong's woman was a little scared. Could something have happened to her man? Otherwise, it was so late at night, why didn't she come back? The other women who were accompanying the Carpenter Zhong woman saw that it was getting late, and they were extremely unwilling to do this to keep the Carpenter Zhong woman company so that she would not feel afraid. Why should I give others company? No one will give me money. How can I be so kind? Seeing that it was already dark, they all stretched out and left. For a while, the only one who stayed in this dilapidated house was Carpenter Zhong's woman. The son and daughter had already gone to bed, and for a while they were alone by the fire, warming themselves up. They heard the wind roaring past, which was shrill and disturbing.
"Why hasn't the guy who chopped off the head come back yet?" Zhong Carpenter's woman muttered in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out loud because there was no one around her anymore. Don't you want to talk to the old tree by yourself?
Carpenter Zhong's woman waited for a long time, but when the man didn't come back, she left the house and walked along the ancient road in the deserted village under the chaotic snowflakes. I don't know what happened to the man who chopped off his head today, and he came back so late! When Carpenter Zhong's woman walked along the river outside the deserted village, she could not see anyone or hear anyone speaking.
After walking for a while, Carpenter Zhong’s woman didn’t dare to leave because it was said that there was something unclean in front of her, and it was not good to walk at night, not to mention she was still a woman. If this happens, we might encounter evil spirits or something like that. Will it be the end of the world then? However, Carpenter Zhong's woman firmly believed that her man was not far ahead, so she was no longer afraid and walked forward without hesitation.
Going here is really quite dangerous, as you have to pass through a barren tomb, and in this barren tomb, there are legends that some strange things happened. Therefore, people in deserted villages generally cannot walk alone at night, for fear of encountering something they shouldn't encounter. What should they do then? Besides, Carpenter Zhong’s woman is such a good woman. If she walks alone at night, the risk is even greater. However, I don’t know what happened to Carpenter Zhong’s woman. She actually walked into this deserted grave alone that night. .
The night was quite dark, with few stars in the sky, and the long river going eastward was desolate and cold, especially when it was snowing heavily. As Zhong Carpenter's woman walked, she couldn't help but cry. How could the head-chopping man be so heartless that he didn't come back at night and had to walk a long way in the snowy wind and walk alone in this barren tomb?
I don’t know why, but when Carpenter Zhong’s woman walked into this barren tomb, she couldn’t walk. Her legs seemed to weigh over a thousand kilograms, but just now, she was still quite strong. Now I have no strength at all. What is going on? Could it be that someone saw her as beautiful and was reluctant to leave alone, so she held her back? But when I looked back, I could see nothing but a broken stone.
When Zhong Carpenter's woman couldn't walk any longer, she didn't force herself. She just sat on a cold stone and waited here. Anyway, his man would definitely pass by here when he came back. However, Carpenter Zhong's woman made a mistake. Her man went out to work today, but instead of going this way, he went to the other side of the river.
Carpenter Zhong's woman was sitting alone on the stone, looking at the endless tombs. She raised her head and glanced at the wind and snow, and suddenly started coughing.
