As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster!
Human beings' fear of the unknown and strange is the strongest deep in their hearts.
For example, coffins are used to hold human corpses, which is a fixed common sense understanding. There is already an anchor point psychologically.
Even if you accidentally see the corpse inside, it is within the scope of "psychological expectations".
But if a coffin contains a body that is not a human body, but something else. Moreover, the thing is rotten and shriveled, with a ferocious expression and a terrifying shape... This instant fear of "breaking the inherent cognition" will be even stronger.
So when Wen Sanmei saw a vicious and ferocious rotting dog corpse inside the smashed coffin, she was trembling with fear.
Xiao Ke and the three of them were also shocked when they saw this.
One of them, Wen Dali, scratched his head and said with some fear and confusion.
"Brother Xiao, what's going on? There's no human in the coffin, so why pretend to be a dog? And the dog corpse is so big and fierce."
Xiao Ke forced himself to answer calmly.
"Perhaps it's because in ancient times, the dogs raised by wealthy families were reluctant to eat or abandon them when they died. Just like people, they were buried in coffins."
Another man named Wen Dajing asked again.
"But Brother Xiao, our ancestors in Wenjia Village have lived here for generations. Have you never heard of any of our ancestors' wealthy families having such a weird habit?"
Xiao Ke rolled his eyes at Wen Dajing.
"What happened hundreds of years ago, who knows the details?"
Then he boldly moved closer, intending to take a closer look.
Sudden!
With a snap, the eyes of the rotten dog corpse suddenly opened, staring straight at him with their empty eye sockets.
"oops!"
Xiao Ke was so frightened that he staggered back two steps and almost fell down.
The other three people were also panicked, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Fortunately, at this time, Wen Sanmei and his son arrived with the village chief and several young adults. It was originally daytime at that time, so once there were a large number of people, they would be brave enough.
At the suggestion of the village chief, Xiao Ke and several other young men carefully took out the dog corpse from the coffin with wooden sticks, and burned it to ashes along with the coffin.
I thought this matter was over, but I didn't expect it had just begun.
The first to have an accident were Wen Dali and Wen Dajing who came to help. The two of them suddenly and inexplicably contracted "mad dog disease"!
First, he was afraid of water, then he made strange screams in his throat, and finally he couldn't close his mouth and saliva flowed continuously... The health center in the town failed to rescue him, and he died in violent convulsions.
Originally, Wen Sanmei was worried about the coffin and dog corpse dug out in the backyard. As a result, both helpers died mysteriously, and she was even more frightened. I feel like there must be something evil going on!
So after discussing it with her husband Xiao Ke, the couple quickly bought offerings and went to a small earth temple at the end of the village to worship the Lord of the Earth, hoping to protect themselves from evil spirits.
It is said to be a "temple" of land, but in fact it is just a shrine half a man tall, with clay statues sculpted inside and red satin lining.
But it is said to be quite effective.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, the couple heard a lot of noise at the end of the village. Many villagers gathered in front of the Tutu Temple, chattering.
Wen Sanmei and Xiao Ke both had a bad premonition in their hearts. After looking at each other, they quickly ran over to take a look.
As a result, the couple felt a chill rushing from the soles of their feet to Tianling Gai!
I saw that the clay statue of Lord Tutu in the small earth shrine was even missing its head! It rolled down at my feet and broke into several pieces. It looks very scary.
The body of the clay statue of Lord Tutu is also covered with marks of varying shades, as if it had been scratched out by some sharp claws!
Like...dog paws!
Xiao Ke looked sad and muttered to himself.
"It's over, it's over, that dog corpse must have turned into a devil. It's coming to claim his life! Wen Dali and Wen Dajing are already dead, and our family will be next. Even the Lord of the Land can't protect us, because of that dog devil. broken."
The couple was so lost that they didn't know how they wandered home. They didn't even have the heart to cook dinner. It was because my son complained that he was hungry that he warmed up yesterday's leftovers and ate them.
As a result, Xiao Ke started to have a high fever that night!
Lying on the bed, my whole body was hot, I was unconscious, and my mouth made strange sounds of "ho ho ho" from time to time.
Seeing that his father was in pain, his son Xiao Bo took the initiative to pour a glass of water and wanted to give it to him to drink, but Xiao Ke was so frightened that he made a "woof" sound.
Obviously, this is also caused by "mad dog disease"!
Just like Wen Dali and Wen Dajing before, they were not bitten by dogs at all, but got rabies inexplicably, and the disease was acute.
After Wen Sanmei was extremely frightened, her mind became clearer.
She tied up her husband with a rope, went to the village chief for help, paid a lot of money, and called the doctor in the town to come to her home with rabies vaccine to give Xiao Ke a shot.
In this way, it is much faster than sending the patient to town!
It stands to reason that since they are already sick, the rabies vaccine is useless. But anyway, a dead horse is treated as a live horse doctor... After obtaining permission, the doctor injected Xiao Ke with rabies vaccine and various powerful anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs. It actually really brought his condition under control and brought his fever down.
But he was still unconscious and made weird dog barking sounds from time to time.
The village chief and several young people who came to help that day were also in fear every day.
Wen Sanmei thought of the deeds of Qin Xiangu of Wujia Village and her apprentice - that is, "me" - that had been spread in the surrounding villages many years ago.
I quickly went to Wujiacun to visit, but at that time my parents and I were still in Shenzhen City and had not returned, so I could only go back with regret.
As a result, within a few days...her son Xiao Bo also developed similar symptoms!
Wen Sanmei quickly followed the same method and relied on the rabies vaccine to strengthen anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs to prevent Xiao Bo from having a high fever. But like his father, he was in a coma.
Finally, after the Chinese New Year, she came to visit Wujiacun again and found me.
…
After listening to the story she told, my brows furrowed tightly, and I felt a faint feeling of discomfort.
Because this thing is indeed a little weird!
It’s not that I’m afraid that I won’t be able to deal with the evil spirit, but because I think of the situation where the children of Angkor’s family developed “mad dog disease” - they are all inexplicable, and they are somewhat different from ordinary “mad dog disease” - in fact He was possessed by the remnant soul of the evil dog demon and "took possession of his body".
I suspect that Aunt Wen Sanmei's house is in a similar situation.
I secretly thought about it.
"There is probably some kind of connection between these two things. But for the specific details, we have to go to Wenjia Village to see the situation first. It sounds like this dog evil demon or dog evil ghost is better than the evil dog possessed by Wu Qi. The remnant soul of the brother's child is much more vicious. It even took the head off the earth statue!"
