The so-called "borrowing" means temporarily taking something that does not belong to you and then returning it later. There is a saying in China since ancient times, "You walk on your Yangguan Road, and I will cross my single-plank bridge." This sentence refers to two people with completely different paths, each living his own life without affecting each other.
This is how it should be between humans and ghosts. They can coexist, but they shouldn't interfere with each other. But if ghosts appear in the human world, they are actually taking over our place. A group of ghosts appear at the same time and exist for a clear purpose, such as "burial", walking on our road, that is, borrowing our road, and as they disappear, they return it to us.
The so-called "Yin soldiers borrowing paths" are usually understood in the metaphysical circles into two models. One is that many people died on the ancient battlefield, and these people died suddenly. So every once in a while, at regular and inevitable nodes, they suddenly reappear in the human world, and the way they reappear in the human world is mostly the last moment of their lives, such as war.
The other type usually occurs after a catastrophe or plague, and many people die in a short period of time. If these people want to transcend at the same time, it will disrupt the order. So the "Underworld" sent out Yin soldiers to escort the dead souls. The Yin soldiers who escorted the dead souls would line up in long lines and escort the dead souls away like prisoners.
These are two widely circulated methods, but in fact there are far more than these two methods. There is another situation that is very similar to what I encountered. Many people suddenly died in a short period of time, but the death of these people was an abnormal state, for example, they were killed by ghosts. Among the ways people die, being killed by ghosts is the worst kind, because when they die, most of them die with extreme fear rather than pain or hatred. Therefore, these people who died of fear would subconsciously hide from the underworld soldiers who came to escort them, because those underworld soldiers were, to a certain extent, also a type of ghost.
So the thing is clear. Su Pinggui killed this woman, and the woman took revenge, thus killing everyone around him. So much so that Su Pinggui had to pretend to be someone he didn't know well enough to even bury him. This means that if I go to some old people to ask whether a massacre occurred in a local big family named Su around the 28th year of the Republic of China, if so, then 99% of the time it is the owner of this haunting. .
I explained these words to the young man. Although she kept saying yes, I knew that he actually didn't understand. I don’t have to waste my time on him, I can just let him take me to the old man in the village. The young man told me that he had only joined the queue here not long ago. All these things could only be known by asking the production team leader. He was a veteran in the village and most of the people who settled in the village knew each other.
So I went with him to the production team of Sujiatuo. After the young man was punished, he still found out about the oldest elder in the village. It was said that before liberation, he was a pig herder for the landlord's house. He was still young at that time, and when the army wanted to arrest the young men, he hid under the hay in the pig pen to avoid being captured. After that, he stayed in the village. After liberation, the land was divided and he became a farmer honestly.
According to the address provided by the production team leader, we quickly found the old man’s home. The old man's surname is also Su, but according to what he said, he actually doesn't know what his surname is. He has been an orphan since he was a child and was raised by a landlord's family. Although his social class is low, the landlord did not treat him poorly. , gave him food and clothing, and asked him to help the landlord's family herd pigs, so he adopted the surname Su.
I asked Uncle Su, do you know that in the years when the Japanese first started fighting, there used to be a wealthy family in the village, and there was a man named Su Pinggui in their family? Uncle Su thought for a while, maybe it was because it was too long ago and he was getting older. Later, he said that he still remembered that Su Pinggui was the only son of another landlord named Su. Later, when the old landlord died, his son inherited the ancestral business. But he died not long after he lived.
I asked again, do you know how Su Pinggui died? Uncle Su slapped his thigh and said, "Who among the elderly in the village doesn't know that Su Pinggui is a little bastard? He usually bullies others and often does bad things. What little ancestral legacy his father left to him will be lost in the future." about there. The older generation in the village don't like this brat. If he does too many bad things, he will be punished sooner or later.
Uncle Su came close to me and told me softly that no one in his family, except for the servants, was a good person. The old mother was also tricky and would often beat up the long-term workers, thinking that she could outdo others with just a few stinky riches. Being superior, Su Pinggui had the same moral character as his old mother. He had been domineering in the village for a long time. Not only that, he also took over other people's daughters! I insist on marrying someone as my concubine!
After many years, it seems that Uncle Su is still filled with indignation when he mentions this matter. I must have been bullied back then, no wonder I haven't forgotten it after all these years. Uncle Su then told me that later on, God opened his eyes and everyone in his family contracted leprosy and died completely. It's just a pity that those servants and servants are all children from poor families. It's a pity that they suffered retribution along with this bastard family.
Uncle Su's words basically confirmed my guess. Even if he didn't continue talking at this moment, I knew that that was the truth of the matter. But to be on the safe side, I asked a question: Did a woman die before Su Pinggui’s family got leprosy? He was also buried in mourning robes and mourning.
Uncle Su was stunned for a moment, and then asked me, how do you, a young man like you, know these things? I laughed and said that I had heard other old people talk about it before, but I didn't say it in detail. I heard that the woman died in a strange way. I didn't know if it was true.
I pretended to be an old lady gossiping and asked a question that seemed to be asking. As expected, the old man took the bait immediately. He patted his thigh and said, isn't it? The girl died unjustly. The Su family even pretended to hold a funeral and carried out the funeral in a grand manner. However, people in the village spread the news that the girl was killed by someone. There was not even a body in the coffin, it was empty!
I was shocked when I heard this. This was indeed something I didn't expect. Fortunately, I asked more questions. So I quickly asked, where did the body go? Does that girl have a black mole on her eyebrow? Uncle Su once again looked at me with surprised eyes for a long time, and then asked, this...was this told to you by others? I was stunned for a moment, and then said of course. The old people in the village said it while chatting. It is said that they were still wearing red clothes when they were buried.
Uncle Su sighed and said, "Shit!" They said it was an empty coffin, and the corpse ghosts knew where they had hidden it. I asked him why he was so sure. Uncle Su said that when the funeral team was knocking in the village, he went to watch it and found that usually there were four people carrying the coffin, but this time it only took two people to carry it away, and Those two people are servants of the Su family.
I then recalled that the funeral procession of the ghost I saw from a distance in the early morning was indeed carried by two thin young men. Uncle Su went on to say, we are all farmers. We have worked all our lives and carried countless kilograms of things. Is the woman in the coffin really so light? Judging from the footsteps of those people, they all knew that there was nothing in the coffin, but everyone was a little afraid of the Su family at the time, so no one opened their mouths to ask. But everyone in the village who knew about it at the time also knew that the dead girl died unjustly.
Uncle Su said that the girl was none other than the girl who was occupied in the village and was forcibly taken as a concubine by Su Pinggui. He said that this way, her parents would be exempted from the rent. This stupid guy was so ruined. Got a good girl. Uncle Su went on to say that the little girl had been married for less than a year. When people passed by the Su family's house, they often heard the girl's cries of being beaten, and often heard words similar to bitch and kiln sister. Son and other unpleasant words. Later, all the Su family members died of leprosy. After cleaning up the dead, the village felt unlucky and did not dare to go near the Su family's house for a long time. However, a young villager passed by later and heard a woman's voice coming from the house. Crying, so during those days, everyone often said that the girl who was killed came back to take revenge, and that everyone in the Su family was killed by this girl.
Although I know this is true, I still asked Uncle Su why he said this. Is there any basis for it? Because his basis may be very critical. Uncle Su said, you said this person's health is good or bad. Even if he got an infectious disease, he wouldn't be gone, let alone die together. The Su family almost died overnight. , when the body was discovered, there were no external injuries. There were just a lot of hives on the body and the skin was rotten. No matter how severe the leprosy is, people die in their own order. As a result, they all die together. Tell me, isn't this an evil thing?
Of course this is an evil thing, but Uncle Su has never seen it in person. Uncle Su's words almost completely confirmed what I had thought before, except that the female ghost in red turned out to be the daughter of someone in the village, which I didn't expect. So I asked Uncle Su, are the girl's parents still in the village? Uncle Su said that it was gone a long time ago. Her mother died of anger not long after her daughter's death. Her father also fell ill and died during the liberation years, and the whole family was wiped out.
I still feel a little sad and a little regretful. But after all, no matter how hateful Su Pinggui is, the other servants are also innocent. In such a tragic case of annihilation, even if the girl has great grievances, she has gone too far. So I asked Uncle Su, where is Su Pinggui's home? Are all his relatives living there now?
Uncle Su said, where are there any relatives? Everyone avoids such beasts, and with so many people dead in the house, where can anyone dare to live there? Later, during the land reform, it was given to everyone, but everyone thought it was dirty and didn't want it, so it remained empty. Later, some educated youth came to the village, so they cleaned it up and gave it to them to live in.
I was shocked: Isn't that... the young men's dormitory? So, everyone lives in a haunted house where many people died?
