Chapter 141: The Strange Woman Eats the Fetus
Mute Balan blinked and asked cautiously, "Then shall we still go?" β
"Nonsense," Cheng Xinghe slapped the dumb Balan on the head: "What can I do if I don't go, my brother is so hungry that he has a duodenal ulcer now, what kind of evil thing is love, blocking my brother's meal, my brother tore it up." β
I also followed-ours, in our industry, meeting is fate, if you really encounter an evil spirit, there is absolutely no reason to leave it alone.
That small village looks dilapidated from afar, and it is really not small when you get closer, and the people in the village are enjoying the shade under the dendrobium trees on the side of the road, and it seems that we rarely see these outsiders, and our eyes are very strange when they see us.
A child saw Cheng Xinghe's fashionable ankle-baring jeans, and asked his grandmother with his nose: "Grandma, is this brother a rice customer who planted rice in the field?" β
This Cheng Xinghe is angry, I can't wait to show the child Levi's trademark, and popularize science This is the new model for the summer of 2019.
There is a small restaurant in the village with the words "Historical Records of Beef Offal".
Cheng Xinghe was quite happy: "I can't imagine that there are still cultural people in the poor countryside, and the shopkeeper must love to read and worship Sima Qian, so he is called Shiji Beef Offal." β
Who knew that a very fat chef opened the curtain and said while greeting us: "No, no, it's because of my surname Shi." β
Cheng Xinghe suddenly had black lines on his head, and he was dumb and laughed, and we entered this small shop.
Not to mention, the shop is quite clean, and the things are very delicious, Cheng Xinghe didn't breathe, drank four bowls, I saw that he ate about the same, so I looked at him: "What about the octagonal box?" β
Cheng Xinghe didn't raise his head, so he took out the box and threw it to me.
I wanted to open the box and take a look, but when I looked over the box, I frowned.
This box is inlaid with a very delicate lock, which looks like a tangram, and can be used to create various shapes.
Dumb Balan also said "hey" at a glance: "Who is so leisurely and elegant, and still make a tangram on the box, brother, I'll break it off." β
I hurriedly said don't worry, this is not an ordinary lock.
I also heard about this by chance from the owner of an antique shop, this is called the Eight Treasures Exquisite Lock.
It is a very special lock, and it is also a craft of the old era, and its reputation is similar to the nine stars and twelve plates that store the Seven Star Dragon Spring, but this Eight Treasures exquisite lock has one characteristic, that is, danger.
If you don't spell it right, the box will explode immediately, and the contents will be wiped out, and the person who opens the box will also have to be unlucky - it is said that the light will be blown up into a stick, and the heavy will be directly reported by Lord Yama, which is similar to dismantling the bomb.
Therefore, the ancient people all stored the secret letter of the lover, the secret chapter or something in the Eight Treasures Exquisite Lock, so that even if the box was stolen, the thing would be destroyed by the lock, it is said that the East Factory and the West Factory of the Ming Dynasty had the most such things, but unfortunately the times have changed, the craft has been lost, and there are few people who have seen it, let alone unlock it.
Cheng Xinghe wanted to scold his mother when he heard it: "It's more difficult to find a secret scroll than to learn scriptures from the west." β
However, this box has this, which shows that the contents are very important, and we must be right.
So I figured out how to open it.
At this time, a regular customer came to the store, and asked the shopkeeper, "Is the master here?" β
The boss of Shiji shook his head: "Not yet." β
The regular customer was also anxious, and muttered, "Why haven't you come yet?" My wife's stomach rose day by day, and she was frightened. β
Guru?
I remembered the evil spirit of the village, so I asked the boss what he asked the master for?
The boss sighed, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "What else can I do, the village is haunted, so I invited the master to come to the court." β
"Haunted?"
"Yes." The boss replied, "The ghost woman eats the fetus." β
It turned out that a strange thing has happened in this village since the beginning of this year - at the beginning, it was Yang Erdan's daughter-in-law in the east of the village who was pregnant, went to the county seat to check, and came back to be happy, saying that she was pregnant with a male baby, and the family also specially set up wine to celebrate.
But who knows, Yang Erdan's daughter-in-law was seven or eight months old, and she was taking a nap, when she saw a very short old lady in the house.
That old lady is only one meter three or four, with dark skin, at first glance it is no different from other old ladies in the village, but the strange thing is that this old lady is wearing a white mourning dress.
Yang Erdan's daughter-in-law was not happy at that time, and said that everyone in the village knew that she could not enter the door of others if she wore white and filial piety, not to mention that she was still pregnant. There are many taboos, so I asked who the old lady was and what she was doing at her house?
But who knows, she can't open her mouth at all, and she can't move, just like a ghost pressing a bed!
She watched the old lady come in, circled around the bed three times, and muttered: "The moon is full, the belly is round, and you pay back the debts owed by others." β
Saying that, it was like touching a watermelon, touching the big belly of Yang Erdan's daughter-in-law.
Yang Erdan's daughter-in-law seemed to be frightened, and she saw that the old lady's hands were also shriveled and dark, with long yellow nails - with hooks!
And the old lady patted her big belly, listened with her ears, and was obviously very satisfied, and then lifted Yang Erdan's daughter-in-law's clothes, and put her mouth on Yang Erdan's daughter-in-law's navel.
"Whew...... Whew......"
It's like sucking the gas in the stomach of Yang Erdan's daughter-in-law!
Yang Erdan's daughter-in-law suddenly heard a child's cry, opened her eyes suddenly, and realized that she had a nightmare in broad daylight.
Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she looked down and screamed out in fright!
I saw that her pregnant belly was smaller-as if she wasn't pregnant!
This sound called their family out, everyone was scared enough to see it, and hurriedly sent it to the hospital for examination.
This made Yang Erdan's family cry, but it had already happened, and they couldn't do anything - where to find someone to settle accounts?
At most, I asked the mage for a few yellow talismans and pasted them at home, ready to have another child.
But at this time, Ma Shuangliang's wife in the west of the village also had an accident - exactly the same as Yang Erdan's daughter-in-law, the two of them were about the same month, but after dreaming of the mother-in-law wearing white and filial piety, the fetus disappeared!
There are old people in the village who say that this is a ghost woman stealing a fetus!
Some people don't believe that there is a ghost in the world, saying that it may be an organ thief, and you can see the two pregnant women shaking their heads - who steals organs and can take the fetus out of the womb unscathed, and the mother is not missing a single hair?
This incident caused a lot of panic, and the pregnant women in the village were all in danger, and they tried not to sleep during the day, for fear that the ghost woman would break in with a song, and at night they were also strictly guarded and let the men watch.
But no one can go without napping for the rest of his life, but as soon as he dozes, the child will be stolen by the ghost woman.
In this way, the whole village has not had a newborn for a long time.
The people in the village became more and more frightened, saying that this matter could not be dragged on like thisβit had to be cut off by the ghost woman.
So the village pooled money and invited a master from the county town to show the village what feng shui was all about.
Ghost woman stealing a fetus? I really haven't heard of this kind of legend, and neither have Cheng Xinghe and Dumb Balan.
But since someone is in charge, I am relieved - I just put all my energy on opening the octagonal box.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and there was the sound of gongs and drums and cannons clapping. β
As he spoke, they all ran out to see.
The three of us started to study the octagonal box, but after looking at it for a long time, we didn't find any cluesβa few times we wanted to try it, but we couldn't afford to make a mistake, so we had to think about it more.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from outside: "It's bad, the master has hit the evil spirit!" β
What's that? I suddenly stood up - can a master still collide with evil?
When I got to the door and looked out, I saw a person wearing an apricot yellow robe standing in the crowd, and it really looked like it was going on, but now, the master was holding a peachwood sword in one hand and slashing around, and with the other hand desperately scratching his face, it was also seen from his fingers that he scratched himself out of his face with blood!
While scratching, he also screamed: "I was wrong, I don't dare...... Spare me, spare me......"
Cheng Xinghe immediately said: "There is a black old lady wearing white and filial piety - sitting on his shoulder and picking his eyes!" β
I immediately asked, "What is the origin of the old lady?" β
Before Cheng Xinghe could reply, the body in the robe was crooked, and he suddenly stopped moving.
Some brave villagers went up and tried it, and screamed: "The master is out of breath!" β
