Chapter 157: The Antecedents of the Village

"It all started with the mountain temple. The mountain god in the mountain temple is called the White Wolf General by us. It was about 100 years ago, maybe 200 years ago. At that time, Baigu Village was not so rich, and everyone lived in fear, just because of the two evils in the forest. ”

"One of the evils is a colorful tiger, living in the east of the forest at the foot of the Tiger Wolf Mountain, this tiger has become a sperm, not only can easily kill passers-by, make the demon wind, but also detain the soul of the person it eats, as a ghost, help it deceive passers-by to its lair. Every year, a large number of passers-by are killed, and many people in the village are also victimized. ”

"And the second pest is the wolf pack, this group of wolves lives in the west of the forest, and there are wolves in the forest, which is not uncommon, but what is rare is the number of wolves. There are many wolves, many times more than the people who live around this forest. The animals can take away poultry and livestock, children at worst, and even attack lone villagers. ”

"Because of these two evils, Baigu Village is very poor, so poor that no one is willing to marry it, so that a lot of people in the village are singles. ”

Hearing this, Cai Wei said thoughtfully: "So, the White Wolf General appeared later?"

"Yes, there are many rumors about General White Wolf, some say that General White Wolf is a person from Baigu Village, and some say that General White Wolf is a fierce general of the Song Kingdom. But in short, the White Wolf General came on a white wolf. He subdued the wolves in the forest, killed the colorful tigers, became the village chief of Baigu Village, married three local widows as mothers-in-law, gave birth to twenty children, and became the mountain god of Tiger Wolf Mountain after his death, and has always protected Baigu Village. ”

"Colorful Tiger?" Ghost Cry said with interest, "The Colorful Tiger is not dead. ”

"What? not dead, impossible. The crazy woman shook her head again and again: "If you hadn't died, how could you have never heard the rumors of this colorful tiger." ”

The ghost cried, "I remember, there is a tiger statue in the mountain temple, right?"

The madwoman nodded, and the ghost cried and continued, "That tiger is hidden in the statue!"

The crazy woman's eyes widened, and then she muttered to herself: "No wonder, no wonder, no wonder every time I go to the mountain temple, I am always terrified when I see that tiger statue." ”

Then she came back to her senses and said to Ghost Cry and Cai Wei: "What I just said, the people in the village basically know, but there are still some that only a few people in the village know. ”

"Oh!" Ghost Cry and Cai Wei cheered up, showing an interested look, and listened intently.

The crazy woman swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said slowly: "Just a hundred years ago, there was an unfilial son in the village, who was idle all day long, stealing chickens and touching dogs. Once, he actually hit the head of the mountain temple with his idea. On that day, there was a sudden fog, and he secretly entered the mountain temple while the guards were not paying attention, and then took down the knife in the hand of the mountain god's clay sculpture. The next moment, it was pouring rain. The guards ran into the house to take shelter from the rain and saw him. He badly wounded two guards and disappeared, and that night, the temple collapsed and the clay statue of the mountain god was destroyed. When he reappeared, he was no longer him, but a white wolf general riding a white wolf. After that, the mountain temple was abandoned. ”

"Abandoned?" Cai Wei said: "No, when I entered the mountain temple with the ghost brother, I obviously saw the big ding in the mountain temple, and there was still residual incense, and it was not far from the last incense." ”

The crazy woman had a sad look on her face: "That's because, the time has come." ”

"What time?" Ghost Cry asked.

Speaking of this, the crazy woman's face was merciful, and her voice jumped out of her clenched teeth: "20 years, every 20 years, General White Wolf will have to change his body, and at that time, the villagers of Baigu Village will always go to worship once. ”

"20 years ago, General White Wolf had a big problem after changing his body and was almost exposed. The damn father of the old woman, in order to solve this matter, sent the old woman to the bed of the county order. At this point, her eyes were red: "That's it, that's it." Afterwards, the old woman was pregnant, he disliked the old woman, felt that the old woman was ashamed, almost soaked the old woman in the pig cage, and beat the old woman with a wooden stick to give the old woman medicine. The old woman and her child's life were hard, and they were stunned until the child was born. ”

After the child was born, he kept the old woman and the child locked in the house, and the poor child of the old woman, from childhood to adulthood, could only lie on the window and look out. Until he died, my poor boy could walk around, but he was disgusted by the villagers, and every time he came back, he was wounded. They are all 19 years old this year, and they are obviously tall and burly, and they are dignified. But because of his identity, he didn't even marry a daughter-in-law. ”

"But...... But...... My poor Kang'er!"

Speaking of this, the crazy woman couldn't go on, and choked up and cried. Cai Wei's eyes were red when she heard this, she had already guessed, I was afraid that something had happened to this eldest lady's son. She whispered comforting to the crazy woman, and after a while, the crazy woman gradually recovered, and she continued: "My child's name is Kang, Wu Kang, and the old woman hopes that he can be healthy, and he has indeed grown up healthy, he has never been sick since he was a child, and he has grown tall and strong. The people in the village refused to borrow our oxen, so we and our mothers ploughed by ourselves, the old woman supported the plow, and Kang'er dragged in front, he had great strength, and no one in the village could compare with him. As for the two of us, we can plow faster than the rest of the village. ”

Later, General White Wolf took a fancy to him. We decided to run away, Kang'er can fight, more than a dozen people are not his opponents, if he joins the army, he will definitely become a general. However, Wu Jinbao, who should have killed a thousand knives, actually led someone to catch the old woman and threaten Kang'er. That's it, these days ago, Kang'er became the white wolf general, pity my Kang'er, I haven't even married my daughter-in-law yet......"

That Wu Jinbao is the name of the old village chief.

A whimper came from the mouth of this crazy woman. Cai Wei comforted helplessly, and the ghost cried and looked at the face of the crazy woman, her face was distorted by pain and resentment, three points like a person, but seven points...... Like a ghost!

The sound of whimpering welled in his ears, making him irritable, and he walked out of the door with his feet up, sat down on the threshold, rubbed his temples, and decided to wait until the crying inside was over before going in.

Ghost Cry underestimated the crazy woman, 20 years of torture made her body full of holes, and it was the same 20 years of torture that made her spirit like King Kong. It was only a moment before the whimpering stopped.

Ghost Cry stood up and walked in, and saw that the madwoman had wiped away her tears, plucked the dried fish hanging on the beams of the house, and began to prepare to eat.

Ghost Cry stepped forward and snatched the dried fish: "That's free, let's eat fresh." ”

The crazy woman felt a little inexplicable: "Where is it fresh?" ”

Ghost Cry smiled slightly, showed a fierce smile, and walked out on his feet, whistling by the river.

Not long after, the big black horse swam up with a broken fish basket and climbed ashore.

This fish basket was found by the big black horse from the pyre. The fish basket is full of fresh big fat fish.
