Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Legend of the Foot to the Gate (Part II)
"In fact, the legend of the foot facing the door has been passed down in this small place for hundreds of years. Those of us here believe that the door symbolizes good fortune, and sleeping with your feet facing the door can turn evil into good fortune and ward off evil spirits. If you wear jade on your wrist, you can make the person you like like yourself, and your heart is the same, and you will live and die. The goddess took a sip of wine and said slowly.
I was immediately disappointed, I thought that the legend of the foot facing the door should be the key to all doubts, so I wrapped my face around the goddess and asked her to tell me about this legend, but I didn't expect what she told me to be similar to what Zhang Wenyi said! Is there really something wrong with your intuition?
Seeing the disappointment on my face, the goddess paused, and continued: "But in the last thirty years, there has suddenly been one more legend of the foot facing the door. The one with too much is very uncomfortable...... No, one might even say evil. ”
"Tell me about it!" I immediately came to the spirit.
"Thirty years ago, a village girl jumped into a river in the town and died. At that time, she was more than five months pregnant, and her man abandoned her after owing a lot of debt, and the village girl was afraid that the creditor would sell her to the kiln to pay off the debt, so she cut her face with a kitchen knife. When the creditor saw that she had become so ugly, he really let her go, but only moved everything in her house, leaving only the broken bed.
The village girl saw that there was only one piece of furniture in the huge room, and that the small home seemed even more empty, so she put the bed diagonally, and deliberately put the foot of the bed towards the door, and comforted herself that it would look better, and that as long as she was alive and had hands, everything would be fine.
"But you can't imagine that such an optimistic woman actually committed suicide and jumped into the river seven days later." The goddess knocked the dry tobacco pipe on the table, and said, "Unexpectedly, on the night when she was salvaged, the night watchman saw that her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were bleeding scarlet blood, and then another night later, her body suddenly disappeared and disappeared.
"From that day on, there have been people in the town who have died suddenly, and those who have died have an expression of extreme fear on their faces without exception, as if they saw something so terrible that they couldn't accept it at all before they died."
The goddess glanced at me slowly, her eyes full of strange looks, and I couldn't help but shudder when I saw it.
She laughed, and continued: "After another seven days, a man who watched the night suddenly noticed a dark shadow and walked into the house of the village girl with very slow steps. He was so scared that he was going to die, so he went to wake up his friend and broke into the village girl's house, and guess what they saw? It's the corpse of the village girl!
"The corpse, which had been missing for several days, was lying quietly on the bed, and her swollen corpse had begun to decompose, emitting an astonishing stench, and the people of the town found out that in the seven days that the corpse had been missing, all the people who had died were creditors who had collected debts from the village girl, as well as her husband."
The goddess sighed, "So a rumor spread in the town. It is said that as long as the furniture in the room is emptied, leaving only the bed, and then allowing your feet to sleep in the direction of the door for seven consecutive days, you must desperately hate those who are sorry for yourself during these seven days, and commit suicide by jumping into the river in the middle of the night on the seventh day, you can become a floating ghoul, with grudges and revenge! ”
I shuddered again, suddenly thought of something, and asked in shock: "How many times has something like this happened in the past thirty years?" Is it true that as long as the legendary conditions are met, strange things will really happen? ”
The goddess thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I don't know either." Because in the past thirty years, only that village girl has become a powerful ghost, and many people have learned afterwards, but in the end, they are still dead corpses, and they never get up when they lie down. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that it was just a coincidence, or someone was pretending to be a ghost." Ha, I was bluffed by you just now, and I almost thought that Zhang Xueyun's corpse would turn into a ghost and come out to kill people. Amusing! That Zhang Xueyun is really crazy, she would believe such nonsense and gossip, and she gave up her life for nothing. ”
"What do you mean? You are not allowed to insult Sister Xue Yun! The little third son stared at me fiercely.
I snorted coldly, "Seriously, she arranged the basement exactly like what your grandma just said, and I don't know what she was thinking!" ”
"What!" The goddess's face was full of fear, and she stood up and took a messy step that did not match her age at all, and hurried towards the basement, pulling the door open, her face full of fear even more frightened.
"Evil, evil, why is that girl so stupid!" The goddess drew a few talismans in the air with her hands, and kept muttering something in her mouth. He suddenly turned his head and asked the aunt behind him, "How long has the child slept in this room?" ”
"Seven days! Seven whole days! The aunt laughed nervously, "Ghost Soul! Hehe, there is a grievance, there is a debt, my daughter will not die in vain. If you want to find it, find the Qi family, kill all the bad guys, good daughter, your mother has always been very cowardly and very afraid of things, which is why I hurt you, I am not afraid of anything in the future! ”
She sat on the ground, crying and laughing, and I coaxed her for a long time before I tricked her into bed. After giving her two sleeping pills, her aunt finally calmed down.
Call! I don't know, why the hell am I here? None of the doubts brought by it have been solved, and now they are plunged into another mess of confusion. In Li Shuren and Zhang Xiuwen's bedroom, the bed is also placed in the position of facing the door, but it obviously has a different meaning, and it should not be the same thing as the legend of the foot facing the door here. Hmph, the mind began to mess up again, could it be that there is another legend with the foot facing the door? Something that most people in this town don't know about?
"Little third son, you go to Qi's house and inform them to be careful at night and don't go out!" The goddess commanded.
"Those bad guys, dying early is basically accumulating blessings for the people in the town, what do they do with so much!" The little third son said angrily.
The goddess shouted angrily, "Dead boy, how did I educate you in the past? No matter how evil a person is, life and death are still a life. If we can save, we must save, do our duty! ”
"Yes, Grandma." The little third son walked out of the door slowly and reluctantly.
"Young man." The goddess glanced at me, "Your blessings are very heavy, and the gods and ghosts will not invade you." Can I bother you with one thing? ”
"Since you've praised me like this, can I still say no?" I scoffed.
The goddess ignored it and continued: "Please try to find Xue Yun's body back within five days, the ghost is not so quickly formed, maybe this matter can be redeemed!" ”
I frowned and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you just say just now that many people have learned from that village girl in the past thirty years, but they all failed in the end?" Why are you so worried now? ”
"You're an outsider, so I'll be honest with you." The goddess glanced worriedly at the basement and recalled, "This inn was built twenty-five years ago, and it used the land of that village girl. If I'm not mistaken, the location of the basement where Xueyun's girl sleeps happens to be the village girl's bedroom, and I don't know if it's a trouble, even the placement of the bed is exactly the same! ”
"What!" I only heard a "boom" in my head, and I was stunned by what I had just heard.
Many things in this world are similar, and logically speaking, there must be some inextricable connection between two and more events or objects that are similar. And now, Zhang Xueyun and the village girl have been connected, so will there be similarities? If, just if, if there is a similarity, what will become of Zhang Xueyun's corpse? Even if you think about it a little, you feel a chill down your spine!
"I see! I'll get her body back as soon as I can, no matter what means! My face became unusually serious, "So if you use any radical methods and annoy the people in the village, you will have to be asked to deal with the aftermath." ”
Since I woke up in the morning, although I kept encountering messy things, there was still a doubt lingering in my mind. Where did Zhang Wenyi's little girl go? Did she take the corpse? What did she mean by what she said last night, it was like saying goodbye to me! And most importantly, what did she do last night?
Maybe after finding her, many doubts will be solved......
