226. The big lady, the second lady(1/2)
Yuning County was surrounded by half a circle of mountains. After they left the city, they walked forward with the mule cart creaking, and soon they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
When Wang Qilin arrived here, he knew that it was the right choice to join forces with Deng Xiaofei. There were many roads at the foot of the mountain, winding into the mountains and forests, like a group of giant pythons gathered here.
But everyone knows that these mountain roads gather at this time, but if they extend into the mountains, they will gradually gather and become farther away. With a slight difference, they will eventually lead to a thousand miles of mistakes.
Deng Xiaofei was familiar with this Feicheng. He didn't need to look at it much, but just identified the direction and then shook the whip in his hand and drove the mule cart into the forest.
In late autumn, the leaves are falling, and Wang Qilin looked up and looked around. The mountains are full of beautiful orange and inconspicuous withered yellow.
There was a bleak feeling coming to my mind.
The big green mule was strong and dragged the car quickly. Deng Xiaofei asked with a smile: "Good man, is anyone willing to have a mountain song?"
Ma Ming was not humble, so he opened his mouth and sang: "I once dreamed of walking around the world with a sword..."
Wang Qilin took the opportunity to ask Deng Xiaofei: "When you left the city just now, did you say that the cat didn't jump and the wild pheasant spirit appeared?"
Deng Xiaofei nodded and said, "Yes, a cat does not jump is a ridge, located between a mountain stream. Its name is a cat does not jump. You can understand how dangerous it is. When a wild cat comes, it can only walk properly and dare not jump on it."
Ba Miao emerged to listen to his story. When he heard this, he pursed his beard disdainfully: I will jump later!
"Cats do not jump and walk with steepness. They usually have to be careful when walking, otherwise they will fall down the mountain and fall to death. However, the hero must know that the more dangerous the place, the more people will die, because the more they go to such a place, the more careful they are."
"But in the past ten days, more than a dozen people have died of cats without jumping! At least one person will die every day. There are rumors that a wild pheasant spirit has appeared there, and it wants to take human life to practice. So whenever someone passes by, it will use illusion to deceive you into going on a wrong path, then fall into the mountain stream and fall to death, and be caught by it to practice."
Wang Qilin asked, "So many people have died? Isn't anyone reported to the official? There are offices in Tingtianjian in the village and county. Isn't it enough to go to the office to find adults to solve the problem?"
Hearing this, Deng Xiaofei laughed disdainfully, and then suddenly changed the topic: "What are you going to Jiangshan Township to do? I heard you still ask about Dading Village? I am familiar with Dading Village. The village chief is a friend I make whenever I go there!"
Xu Da was surprised: "Ah? There is still a chief security chief in the village?"
The Grand Guardian is an official title, originating from the Baojia system in the Song Dynasty. This is a rural military household registration system that has disappeared from the official side. It has fifty households as the Grand Guardian and has a Grand Guardian.
Deng Xiaofei smiled and said, "Some are people in the mountains. Tao Gongyuanming said that in "The Book of Peach Blossom Spring", the people in the ancestors avoided the chaos in the Qin Dynasty, led their wife to this desperate situation, and they did not come back, so they were separated from outsiders. When asked what kind of world it is, they did not know that there was a Han Dynasty, regardless of Wei and Jin Dynasties."
"Dading Village is similar to this. The village is deep in Laoshan, poor and poor, and has poor populations. No matter which dynasty, they are not very interested in them. They didn't even care about these villages for eighty years, so they still do things in the previous dynasty, and the village has the Grand Security Councilor."
After a brief introduction, he looked at Wang Qilin again.
Wang Qilin said frankly without hiding him: "It is said that someone in Dading Village encountered a strange thing, and then invited a Master Zhou to see the matter. I also had something to look for Master Zhou, so I wanted to take the opportunity to see his methods."
As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Xiaofei slapped her fiercely: "Oh, good man, we are really destined to be together. I happened to know who was causing trouble in Dading Village. No one knows better than me in this matter, because the one who caused trouble was the Yin Ding family of the Great Security Chief!"
Wang Qilin smiled and said, "This is a coincidence. The mountain road is long. Can you tell me?"
Deng Xiaofei was excited and said, "The saint said, sit quietly and ponder about one's own faults, don't talk about others' mistakes. Logically speaking, I shouldn't gossip behind others' backs or talk about other people's affairs, but this matter is not secret, so it's not considered gossiping for you."
"Yin Ding is a hunter in the mountains. He is a good hunter! There are more than 70 families in Dading Village, and there is no better hunter than him. The reason why I have a good relationship with him is because of business. Every time I collect bad things, I go to him to get a fair price and never cheat him, so I become a good friend."
Speaking of this, he raised his chest and said, "My heroes, I will never boast about it. I will do business without any deception. It is not the same as many merchants who enter the mountains. They bully the people in the mountains and do not understand arithmetic, and often play tricks to bully them."
"Hehe, although this can make some money in a short time, but after a long time, people can see you clearly, how can they do business with you?"
Wang Qilin nodded in cooperation, but was impatient. This old man was too silly.
Deng Xiaofei saw that he was impatient and smiled and said, "My hero, don't worry. We have a lot of time along the way. I have enough time to tell you what I said just now, to tell you why Yin Ding said more, because I have a good relationship with you."
"Yes, Brother Deng, please continue."
Deng Xiaofei said, "You don't know that there is a big cave called Dixu around this Dading Village. It is opened at the entrance of the cave on the mountain and facing the sky. I don't know how deep it is. It is said that a flying Taoist priest came here a long time ago and said that this cave leads to Jiuyou and is bottomless."
"It's really mysterious. It's surrounded by herbs, wild fruits, and wild animals. Every time it rains, many mushrooms will grow here. Dading Village can make a lot of money by picking up mushrooms in summer and autumn. I'm going to collect dried mushrooms this time."
"But this land ruins are also strange. People often hang themselves on old trees nearby! These people are not from Dading Village, and they don't know where they come from. Anyway, people often go to the land ruins to pick herbs and fruits, and then suddenly see a hanged person."
"After this time, everyone is inevitably afraid and no longer hunting and gathering herbs around Dixu. However, Yin Ding once chased a deer two years ago, he accidentally entered the old forest around Dixu. However, the trees in the old forest were tall and lush, and the sun was no longer visible in the daytime, and the gust of wind made people timid."
"Yin Dingyi is bold. He was almost chasing the deer at that time. He was unwilling to let go, so he broke into the old forest of the earth ruins!"
"There are many trees in the old forest and thorns are everywhere. When he was chasing the deer, he was suddenly hooked by something!"
"Yin Ding looked back and saw an embroidered shoe stretching out from a thorn! The bright red embroidered shoe was wrapped around the shoes, and these sticks wrapped around him..."
"Amitabha is so scary." Chen Yi said as he hugged Xu Da. He knew that this would disgust Xu Da.
Sure enough, Xu Da kicked him: "Get out, what are you afraid of? You have the Buddha to protect you, what demons and monsters dare to attack you?"
"Stop making trouble!" Wang Qilin glared at the two of them.
Seeing this, Xu Da hugged Chen Yi in disappointment and muttered: "What kind of world is it? Force a good person to be prostitute!"
Wang Qilin ignored the two tampers and asked, "Is it a female corpse that entangled Yin Ding?"
Deng Xiaofei nodded heavily: "That's true! Yin Ding went to tear up the thorns, it was strange. The more he teared the thorns, the more he wrapped around him, and he was sweating profusely!"
"Seeing this, he knew that he had encountered an evil spirit, so he sang a breath and said, 'Girl, let go, I already know your thoughts, but you don't want to expose the body in the wilderness, so I called me? Then I'll take you back to the village and place it in the grave'."
"It's strange. After he finished speaking, he didn't need to do anything, and the thorns fell. So Yin Ding kept his promise, put her down from the tree, and carried her back to the village."
Xie Hama said in surprise: "Wuliang Tianzun, the chief guard is so brave. He dares to carry a corpse? Carrying corpse is very particular. There are corpse-carrying corpse makers in Jiangnan, and they are all powerful characters!"
Deng Xiaofei nodded and said, "Yin Ding dares. He is bold and meticulous. Unfortunately, he is born in the mountains. If he is born in the family of military generals, he will definitely be a tiger general on the battlefield!"
"Continue, but Yin Ding carried the female corpse back to the village. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, the female corpse actually coughed and made a sound!"
"This scared Yin Ding. He hurriedly threw away the female corpse and asked her what was going on. The female corpse opened her eyes at this time and said that her name was Wu Yuan. She was originally a county girl. She had a conflict with her family and ran away from home to find relatives to hide. However, she was caught by a big monster beast covered in hair. The beast carried her into the deep mountains, but when she passed by an old forest, they were entangled by a vine!"
"The vines were tightly wrapped, and the struggle of the beasts made them tighter and tighter. Finally, she fainted. Yin Ding recalled carefully that the girl was not hanging her, but a vine wrapped around her body, wrapped around her neck, and strangled her."
"So Yin Ding thought, it turned out that he had misunderstood. The girl was just entangled and held her breath and did not die. Then she was carried by him and was bumpy all the way. She was afraid that the breath she had held was coming out, and this would be better."
"Sure enough, Wu Yuan looked up and showed him that there were no traces under her neck! However, her clothes were opened, and there were red marks on her skin like cream! Yin Ding touched her chest again, with a heartbeat and a shadow. She was indeed a living person!"
Xu Da shook his head and said, "You can't tell that she is a living person at this point, right? At least you have to try the temperature, is it hot or is it wet?"
Chen Yiyi asked in a daze: "I understand if it's hot or not. Touch her forehead, but what does it mean to be wet or not?"
Xu Da said: "Let her spit, ghosts can't spit!"
Chen Yi suddenly realized: "Amitabha, there is still this kind of priority? My master's bald donkey lied to me again!"
"What did he lie to you?"
"He told me that if someone meets something in the wilderness and cannot determine whether he is a human or a ghost, then draw a knife and wipe it around his neck. Those who die will be humans, and those who cannot die will be ghosts!"
Deng Xiaofei swallowed a mouthful of saliva and quickly touched his neck.
Wang Qilin said: "Then Yin Ding's family is haunted because of the Wu Yuan he brought back, right? No, it was already two years ago that he brought back Wu Yuan. How could he be haunted now?"
Deng Xiaofei smiled and said, "The hero is meticulous and good. The matter is not over here, but just the beginning!"
Xie Hama sighed and said, "Please tell me a short story."
Deng Xiaofei said: "Okay, anyway, Wu Yuan thanked Yin Ding for saving her life, so she decided to imitate the ancients and promised her. What about Yin Ding? He originally had a wife, but the wife couldn't give birth to a child, so he had long wanted to take a concubine."
"It just so happens that Wu Yuan is as beautiful as a fairy and can read and write. Yin Ding is very happy, so she married her despite her wife's objection..."
Even Xie Hata was shocked: "My grass - Wuliang Tianzun, is this great security chief too fierce? How dare he marry such a woman?"
Wang Qilin thought silently, could another undead knight come out?
Deng Xiaofei was unhappy and said, "I have dealt with the second wife. She is indeed a good girl from a good family, smart and capable, and kind-hearted. The most important thing is that she is very prosperous. After Yin Ding married her, not only did she gain more than before, but the originally infertile eldest wife was pregnant!"
Xu Dadao: "Wait, the eldest lady was originally infertile, but after the second lady went, she became pregnant? So the question is, whose child belongs to?"
Deng Xiaofei said: "Of course it is Yin Ding's. I have seen the child after he was born, and he is similar to Yin Ding's eyebrows."
Xu Da shook his head and said, "Then you continue to say, I think something is wrong!"
Wang Qilin said in a deep voice: "I think something is wrong, Brother Deng, you said you have seen the second lady and the child, so you must have seen the eldest lady. The problem is, have you seen the eldest lady when she was pregnant? Have you seen the second lady when she was pregnant?"
Deng Xiaofei smiled and said, "The hero asked well. I have indeed seen him. The second lady is weak and cannot do rough work, but she is smart and capable, and can tell the words. So she took charge of the internal affairs of the family, and the eldest lady is responsible for the external affairs. So not only did I see the eldest lady getting pregnant, but everyone in Dading Village has seen her, and even watched her belly grow bigger day by day."
Wang Qilin thought for a while and said, "Okay, what happened later? Why is this haunted again?"
Deng Xiaofei's face turned dark and said, "Yin Ding was satisfied with the second lady everywhere, but he was a little dissatisfied. The second lady couldn't listen to the 'dixu'. As long as someone guarded her and mentioned the things around the dixu, she would go crazy. I know that all the masters are wondering whether this second lady is a ghost?"
"Actually, the eldest lady is even more suspicious!"
"When the eldest lady was about to give birth, she decided to show up. She didn't care, but she didn't want the child to live in the same room with something that didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost. So she asked Yin Ding to take the second lady to Dixu to see what she was afraid of!"
"Yin Ding doesn't want to go. His family has been stable this year. He doesn't believe that the second lady is a ghost. The eldest lady finally took advantage of his outing and found an elder in the village to help trick the second lady into Dixu!"
"Soon after, the eldest lady came back in horror with the help of her elders, but the second lady disappeared! As for what happened, the eldest lady and the elders didn't tell her that the village people didn't know, but the elders once said that the second lady was not a human being!"
"Yin Ding was naturally angry when this happened, but he could not punish the eldest lady. Because she was frightened, the eldest lady had miscarriage. Her body was weaker. If the Yin family had not had the century-old ginseng collected in the mountains to prosper her life, she would have lost all of them!"
"The eldest lady gave birth prematurely and gave birth to a son the size of a palm. Fortunately, the life in the mountains was hard, and the child finally survived. Everything passed smoothly for a year. Just a few days ago, I was there that day, and then something terrible happened!"
Speaking of this, Deng Xiaofei's face gradually changed, showing a look of fear:
"That was the first time I went to collect mountain goods after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The weather was good that day, and the mountains were already a little cold after the autumn. So in the afternoon, the villagers all took their children to bask in the sun, and the eldest lady also brought their son in the crowd. At that time, everyone was telling stories to the children and having fun, but suddenly everything changed!"
"There is no sign! The eldest lady suddenly picked up her son and ran out of the village to the ground ruins! Then she threw her into the ground ruins!"
This turning point came too fiercely, and Wang Qilin subconsciously asked, "Is the eldest lady possessed by a ghost?"
Deng Xiaofei clenched his fists and said in grief: "No, it's the child possessed by a ghost! Or it's the child, it's the ghost Wu Yuan! Or it's the reincarnation of Wu Yuan!"
Xie Hata said decisively: "It is absolutely impossible. How can ghosts be reincarnated? The eldest lady killed the second lady and gave birth to a child on the same day, and then this child was the result of the second lady's reincarnation? It is absolutely impossible!"
Deng Xiaofei said in a low mood: "Anyway, the eldest lady said yes, and the Yin Ding family really started to be haunted when they threw the child into the ground that day. There were always little ghosts pestering the eldest lady. This was really happening!"
Wang Qilin knocked on the handrail with his finger and said, "I originally suspected that the second lady was a ghost, but when I heard it, I felt that the eldest lady had a ghost in her heart."
