Since Tian Xiaofang has never discussed this topic with her family in the past ten days or so, and she may not be willing to be known by anyone except me at this moment, I asked the Tian family’s youngest daughter and her mother to stay away for the time being. I need to talk to Tian Xiaofang alone.
Obviously Tian Xiaofang knew something about the situation, so I didn't bother beating around the bush. I just told her directly that your sister saw two people, an old and a young, passing by the door ten days ago, and my water bowl round light technique also happened to reveal this. Can you tell me, those two people Who is it?
Maybe it was because she had been having this symptom for so long. Tian Xiaofang started to look a little dazed and seemed more emotional and sensitive. When she heard that I said that the youngest daughter of the Tian family had also seen it, she quickly asked my sister if she was okay. I said her sister was fine. ,you do not need to worry. Tian Xiaofang told me that every time she got sick, she couldn't remember what she had done, but after she calmed down, she still had some impression of the small gap in her memory. The reason why she was afraid was precisely because the two people she saw were indeed the same as the people described by her sister. However, she said that the child did not know why he appeared, but the old man, she thought, might be similar to a few people. Something happened a few months ago.
I interrupted her and said, a few months ago, think back carefully, was it around the time of Beginning of Summer? She said yes, she was still in the city during those days. In this way, the time is consistent with my original hexagram.
Tian Xiaofang said that the old man was from this village a long time ago and was the largest landowner in the village. I didn't have much memory when I was a child, but I had never seen this person since liberation. Until last spring, when I was participating in cultural activities with the team, I saw this landlord when passing a market in the city. It seems that he has been living in the city since liberation, setting up a stall selling hot glutinous rice cakes.
In Chongqing, there is a snack called "hot glutinous rice cake", which is made by cutting large pieces of glutinous rice cake into the size of small glutinous rice balls, then mixing it with soybean noodles mixed with white sugar, and then you can eat it. This snack is very similar to the donkey rolling in the north, sweet and delicious. After liberation, many landowners who used to own land in the countryside had their land cut off from their previous source of rent-collecting livelihood because the land was given to the common people. So these landlords either went to work with relatives or moved to the cities to become common people. . "Fight the local tyrants, fight the evil gentry, and divide the land" was a jingle I often said when I was playing with other children when I was a child.
Tian Xiaofang said that when she saw the landlord, she didn't recognize it at once, but she just thought he looked familiar. She was curious and bought some hot glutinous rice cakes. When she bought the hot glutinous rice cakes, she was recognized by the landlord instead. Are you saying that you are not the daughter of the Tian Deping family? Why did you come to the city too? This is probably what the so-called meeting an old friend in a foreign land refers to.
But even so, Tian Xiaofang still didn't remember who this person was, but she now knew that this person was from the same village as her. So when she wrote a letter to her family once, she mentioned this matter. When Tian Deping replied, he told her that this was the former big landowner in the village. After liberation, he occupied his house and gave it to the poor. This person is no longer here. In addition, Tian Deping didn't say anything more, but he told Tian Xiaofang that this person used to be a landlord.
Tian Xiaofang said that she was the cultural propagandist in their "team", and her daily job was to promote slogans to the people and memorize quotes from leaders, but that day she learned that the man selling hot glutinous rice cakes was the landlord of her village. At that time, I got carried away and reported the matter to the organization.
When I say this, I can probably think of some of the subsequent situations. The weak woman in front of me, the woman I am rescuing, is exactly the same group of people who made me homeless in the first place. They use their loyalty to the country but are similar to religious extremism to regard reporting some people who may have been guilty in the past as a performance of meritorious service. They only think that doing so will remove obstacles to the path of communism, but they have never thought about these "sinners" Their lives and where they will go after experiencing this.
In these miserable years, although I sighed in my heart, I suddenly had no good impression of this woman Tian Xiaofang. However, I still want to save people. Even if they have caused me personal harm, fundamentally, she is the same as her. I am the same, just a victim of an era.
Seeing that I was silent, Tian Xiaofang continued to speak. Soon the organization arrested this person and started parading through the streets to criticize him. I think the situation should be similar to what I encountered at that time. Tian Xiaofang was also praised by the organization for her meritorious service in reporting. However, she said that she had never told her family about this matter. It was just that the landlord was not related to her, so if she caught him, Tian Xiaofang would not have any personal problems.
I tried to imagine that the landowner had his house confiscated and then moved to the city to continue to survive. This was originally a fatal blow, but he continued to do business, which shows that he survived. If this person encounters two consecutive blows from the same group of people in his life, he will easily end up in a dead end. So I asked Tian Xiaofang, did the landlord commit suicide later? Tian Xiaofang lowered her head and said nothing. I suddenly got angry and kicked the edge of the bed, telling her to speak quickly. Then she nodded and cried. Later, when she talked about this matter with her comrades in the team, she found out that the landlord was raped. After being captured, he persisted for more than ten days, and then he hanged himself in the pig pen.
Looking back on when I was imprisoned, the conditions were pretty good. Some teams are said to let "prisoners" sleep in pig pens and cow sheds, which means they are worse than animals. Let alone this landowner, even a shameless person like me would probably not be able to figure it out. When people can't figure things out, they tend to get stuck in the wrong place, and the path becomes narrower and narrower, and in the end they hit a dead end.
Although Tian Xiaofang kept explaining to me that she did not expect such a result at first, and she only found out about it long after the landlord died, and she still felt quite guilty at the time. I cursed in my heart, you are so guilty, this is just a landlord, who knows how many people have ended their lives in the same way these days because of you bastards, even people were beaten to death in the street, you Do you still regard human life as life?
Tian Xiaofang said that it has been a long time since this incident, and the activities in the city have become louder and louder. It was because of this that she was injured. There was a gun battle between a team of her own and another team that day. She gained from the organization Some enemy intelligence officers were hit in the calf by a stray bullet from one of their own when they were delivering intelligence. Originally, it only penetrated the muscle, but when they fell, their center of gravity was unstable and their legs were broken. Tian Xiaofang sighed and said, This is also retribution. I am also a blessing in disguise. I can go home to avoid the limelight. Who would have expected that things like this would happen again and again after I came back. It seems to be my own fault. I can't escape no matter how much I hide. of.
Yes, whether you can escape or not is your business, whether you can escape or not is the ghost's business. Putting together these clues now, the situation is basically complete. When Tian Xiaofang first got sick, she beat the locust tree with a bamboo pole. This method was close to perverted abuse. I estimate that this will happen to her. First, she was subjected to The influence of ghosts, and the locust tree is more likely to attract ghosts. Tian Xiaofang whipped the locust tree, just like those who tortured and extorted confessions whipped the landlord, and even his identity did not change. So I guess that the landowner must have been hanged and beaten at that time, and the tool used to beat him was most likely a whip or a bamboo stick.
However, the landlord hanged himself. He must have tied his neck and suffocated himself to death. This also corresponds to the part that refers to the neck in the previous hexagram. The time when Tian Xiaofang was hit by a stray bullet was about a few months, which was a long time since the landlord died. Although there is no definite evidence that her injury was related to the ghost of the landlord, but since Tian Xiaofang returned to the village, the ghost of the landlord has also followed, which means that from the time of death, the ghost of the landlord has It has never been away from Tian Xiaofang, which shows that it thinks Tian Xiaofang is one of the people who killed him.
This is obviously a dangerous signal. Although Tian Xiaofang is weak now, she is not confused. But if I don't care, she will die sooner or later. Because the soul of a deceased person who commits suicide cannot leave on his own within forty-nine days as usual. Even if it has taken revenge in these days, it will not be able to escape within the forty-nine days. Because suicide and homicide are the same crime, they are both depriving life. Therefore, people who commit suicide are very resentful, and even if there are people in the industry, it is difficult to relieve them. As time goes by, the hostility does not subside, and the rule that the wronged person has his debtor is no longer binding on such an unjust spirit. If Tian Xiaofang is killed, it will definitely harm her family, and even the whole village. .
I asked Tian Xiaofang, starting from the time you remember, have you been able to see those two ghosts every time you got sick? Tian Xiaofang said yes, but it was different from what her sister said. The two people she saw appeared at her window. I pointed to the window and said, do you mean, they are standing outside the window? Tian Xiaofang said yes.
I thought it was almost done, nodded and said, maybe I can find a way to deal with these two ghosts. Tian Xiaofang asked, how to deal with it? I told her, just wait for them here. When you get sick, they will come.
