Chapter I Fairy Skin
My name is Feng Yixi, and I always think this name is very strange. Isn't it that I want to die?
I asked my parents why they gave me such a name, and my father said, "You are a baby who always has nightmares. That year, your uncle came from the countryside and took your horoscope back. Not long after, he brought a wonderful fortune-teller home, and I urged others to do a good calculation, so this name was specially changed for you."
I asked the name again, ok? My dad asked me, "Isn't that great? It's loud and foreign, and the fortune teller also said that you have a lot of fate, and changing it to this name can save your life. "
From then on, I never understood why a strange name could save my life, but I did understand one thing. I was named this old man who is like a fortuneteller. He lives in Longhushan, Jiangxi Province, and is commonly called Zhang Tianshi. When I was named, I was already an old man in my fifties. I secretly remembered all this and always had to find a chance to ask him.
Now I have encountered some troubles, and these troubles start from an experience when I was a child, but this experience is related to my dream.
dreams are naturally strange and bizarre.
When I was a child, I asked others: Have you ever dreamed of dead people? The man hesitated. Of course, he dreamed of the dead.
So have you dreamed of many dead bodies? It's just that a lot of them are intertwined and stacked in a big pit, and you are squatting by the pit.
The man smiled, patted me on the head and called me a kid, thinking about something messy.
I ask this question because when I was a child, I had the same dream several times. I ran into a pine forest alone. It was so big and gloomy. An old man was always squatting under the tree, picking up pine cones and needles on the ground, and kept putting them in the shape of little people. I looked down in sequence, just like reading a comic book, but I never understood what these little people were doing. It was just that the old man.
The old man smiled kindly and said, "Isn't it fun? Let me tell you, what are these little people doing? "
every time in the middle of the talk, the old man will look at the sky and say with anxiety, "Alas, it's almost time, I have to go. Don't forget what I said."
The old man stood up and left, and I followed him. After a few steps, a big pit appeared in front of him. The old man jumped into the pit as if he hadn't looked, and immediately disappeared. When I chased after it, I saw that the pit was full of all kinds of dry bodies, and there were hundreds of them, including all kinds of old and young, and I immediately cried.
When I wake up crying, it's always dawn, my parents are still asleep, and no one will take care of me, so I have to stare at the window alone, hoping that the sky will light up soon, muttering, "No skin ... no skin ... so many people have no skin ..." Those bodies in the pit really have no skin. Every one of them is like this, which impressed me deeply. Except what the old man said, he forgot everything when he woke up, and he didn't remember anything.
My family is a worker in the third-line factory. Because of the need of national defense, many military factories were moved to the deep mountains and forests in 1958. It is said that for safety, so the place where I lived and studied since childhood is such a ravine far from the city.
The children in the factory can take over as workers after graduating from high school, so the style of study in my high school has always been poor, so my parents asked me to try it in the county high school to see if I could get into a university. In this way, I went to the county high school to study, which was close to my hometown in the country. That year was 1986.
The style of study in key high schools in this county is positive, but it is completely out of my habit. Especially in the third year of high school, thousands of troops rushed to the wooden bridge, which was extremely stressful. One night, I really couldn't stand the tired evening study, so I slipped out of the school gate and wandered alone.
My high school is in Qilihe, the county seat, which is also called Dadongguan. After Dadongguan, there is a regimental headquarters stationed a little further away. I have a fifth uncle who is a cook there. Seeing that I am wandering around, I am almost at the regimental headquarters. It was a moonlit day, so I thought I would just go to the fifth uncle's place and make do with it for one night.
At this moment, I suddenly found a white rabbit in the middle of the road, very cute, lying there motionless. On a whim, I wanted to catch it. Who knows that as soon as I ran after it, I stopped and the rabbit stopped. After a while, we ran off the road and limped into the river ditch until a quite new tile-roofed house stood in front of us, and followed the white rabbit into an empty room. Rabbit I just found myself lost, quite far from the regimental headquarters. I couldn't see anything clearly everywhere, and I was a little scared, but I didn't feel scared yet. I just struggled to identify the direction and couldn't remember which piece of land I was drilling into.
It was a moonless night, but it became starless and moonless, and it was dark everywhere. It took me almost midnight to reach the regimental headquarters along the route. Fortunately, Uncle Wu slept lightly, so I called a few times and got up to open the door for me. When I talked about the white rabbit, Uncle Wu frowned and said, "This is not a small white rabbit. This is the fairy skin." You can touch white leather, which means you are blessed. "
I quickly asked Uncle Wu what a fairy leather is. I haven't heard of it.
Uncle Wu patted me on the head: "That is a fake white rabbit, also known as fairy skin. White fairy skin is the rarest, and no one has ever met it here. You are the first one. People of the older generation know that when you meet a fake white rabbit in the moon field, it usually means getting rich and good luck. Hey hey, there must be a big treasure hidden in the house where the white rabbit hides. You don't understand.
Early the next morning, Uncle Wu asked about the general place where I met the fake white rabbit, so he rode on a bicycle and sent me back to school. I didn't say a word on the way, which made me suspicious. When I got to the school gate, I jumped out of the car and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Wu, why didn't you say a word? Did I say that the place was wrong?" If you're going to dig for something precious, will you take me with you? Didn't you say I was blessed? "
Uncle Wu didn't say anything, waved me to hurry back to school, and his livid face looked gloomy. However, I knew him well since I was a child, and I was not afraid at all. Finally, Uncle Wu said, "That place is no good, you can't go. To tell you the truth, that house is a haunted house, and no one dares to go near it. It's your boy's lucky that he didn't die there last night."
later, after three or four days, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was too strange. Why did I come across this? Tomorrow is Sunday, and I can rest on this day for a month, so I ate dinner early and went straight to the regimental headquarters to find my fifth uncle.
When I got to the place, Uncle Wu was not there. I waited at the door for a long time before I saw Uncle Wu riding a bicycle with a stranger. Uncle Wu saw me waiting for him at the door, and obviously paused. The stranger was calm, simply greeted him, and took Uncle Wu into the house to drink together.
This stranger is very strange. I felt uncomfortable when I saw him, and his clothes were not so good. At that time, students like me were fashionable to wear green military clothes, big crotch pants and yellow rubber shoes. I wore white sneakers, and I just bought a warrior brand. The stranger was wrapped in a gray suit with green crotch pants below, and his clothes looked sloppy even if they were clean, and his body smelled bad.
later, I understood that they were going to that house to look for the baby tonight. I came at the right time and suddenly got refreshed. I insisted on going with them.
The stranger heard Uncle Wu call him Chen Lianzi, who is a mysterious cellar guest in Shili Baxiang. In our country, every family digs sweet potato cellars, and cellar guests are people who are very expert in digging sweet potato cellars. Just listen to Uncle Wu, this Chen Lianzi cellar guest is not only good at digging cellars, but also knows a lot of other things, which I didn't know at that time. If I understand now, this Chen Lianzi is just like this.
Chen Lianzi advised Uncle Wu to take me with him. Can two adults still look down on me as a kid of sixteen or seventeen? Seriously, I was assured that I wouldn't be bad. Uncle Wu thought that I was led by Xianpi, so I should be very lucky, so I reluctantly agreed.
Chen Lianzi talked with Uncle Wu for almost three or four hours, and it was dark. Each of them went out with a woven bag on his back. I put on Uncle Wu's yellow rubber shoes and followed, and walked towards the house I had been to. On the other side of the river ditch, there was a series of low hills. It took more than two hours to walk to the end. This series of low hills was much taller, solemn and solemn against the moonlight.
I asked Uncle Wu what a fairy leather is, and how can I be lucky enough to meet it? Uncle Wu said, "Fairy skin is the local dialect of our country. This thing is about fate. It usually appears around the tomb. You can either find the secret door of the tomb or find the hidden treasure during the war. Anyway, it is a good thing to meet Fairy skin!"
Chen Lianzi also said, "Yes, Lao Wu, in our line of work, I heard that there are people who specialize in raising white rabbits and big cocks, but I haven't heard of anyone who can find any big tombs with these things."
when we entered the house, all three of us felt that the house was cold, dark and atmospheric, and we almost got lost when we turned around. Chen Lianzi used a fire passbook to illuminate, and many people can make this thing, but Chen Lianzi's quality is obviously much better. Blow hard and the flames are not too big, so I asked him why he didn't use a flashlight.
Chen Lianzi ignored me, beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, and whispered to Fifth Uncle, "Old Five, you only said this is a haunted house, so why didn't you make it clear? I'm afraid that only my master can come in person for such a powerful cover. Look, on the beam! "
Uncle Wu and I looked up and were startled. Do you know what I saw?
There are five deep knife marks on the main beam of the house!
Chapter II Five Ghosts Run over a corpse
We have a custom here. If someone hangs himself in his own house, he must cut a mark vertically on the beam. If he hangs himself in someone else's house, he must cut a mark horizontally on the beam. What about this house? Even if it is a haunted house in the future, this knife mark has the meaning of being separated from chihuo, which means that the house has been made into a haunted house, so don't be in the house in the future.
And on the thick beam in front of us, there are three vertical and two horizontal, and five deep knife marks are open, telling us that three masters and two guests were hanged here! I'm afraid it's the best in the haunted house.
In this field, Uncle Wu had to ask me, where did the white rabbit that led me jump and disappear? Listen to his meaning is to find out the place and go home early if there is no hope of getting rich, so as to save big sleep and get into something bad.
I hesitated for a while, so I took them to find the place. It turned out to be a hole in the ground, an ordinary hole, and there was nothing surprising except that it was several times larger than the rabbit hole.
Chen Lianzi deserves to be a cellar guest. After careful identification for a while, he told us that this hole must have been dug by people, never born, and he insisted on going in to have a look.
fifth uncle was worried about my safety and refused to go down. For a moment, three people froze in the mouth of the cave.
We were in a state of indecision, but there was a sharp meow, which almost broke our three tense nerves.
A rhubarb cat crouched in the corner watching us. It was quite big. Uncle Wu said in a trembling voice, "It's not good for dogs to get rich, cats to be filial, and cats to bark."
Chen Lianzi said with a bitter face, "Yes, yes, dogs come to be rich, cats come to be filial, and people will smell when they die. Only cats can smell it. This cat is coming to be filial, so it can't be on us, can it?"
in the dark, the green cat's eye glowed with fierce light, which made our hearts tremble.
Uncle Wu couldn't help asking, "What should we do now? No, let's go home. I didn't know so many people would die in this house. Besides, it's not a good thing to hang here! "
Chen Lianzi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Oh, wait, fifth, do you think the cat's eyes are turned up or down? Why do I think this cat's eye is turned up? "
I looked at it carefully. To be honest, I really can't see it. The cat's eye is round, unlike human eyes with white eyes. Who knows whether it looks at the sky or the ground? I was just about to laugh at it, but I heard Uncle Wu shout, "Xizi, run!" I grabbed my clothes and pulled them back.
Chen Lianzi had already run out, and Uncle Wu was pushing me to follow. The jumping red dot on Chen Lianzi's hand suddenly stopped, and Uncle Wu and I finally caught up with him, only to see a lamp embedded in the wall, a black lamp!
Chen Lianzi was so scared that he didn't dare to touch the black light at all. He took us, carefully spared the black light and ran away.
This old house is weird, too. I don't know for what purpose, the owner of the house built the house in a strange way, and thousands of families were intertwined. We worked hard and ran for a long time before we got out of the old house and stood by the river ditch panting.
I took this opportunity to ask Uncle Wu, "Why did Uncle Wu drag me to run when I was looking at the cat's eye just now? I didn't find anything wrong? "
Chen Lianzi took over and said, "It's very different whether that cat's eye looks up or down. This room is very evil. The so-called haunted house steals cats, and the dead suppress treasures. The cat's eye in this haunted house turns up, which means that the dead are watching how long you have to live, and turning down is good luck. Hurry up and dig, and we should take the treasure that has been suppressed for many years! I saw that the cat's eye turned up just now, and I knew this trip would be in vain. What's more, seeing the black light is even more terrible. Fortunately, we run fast, don't say anything, go home quickly! "
Then the three of us went back to Uncle Wu's room in silence, and it was almost dawn. We had a good sleep, and this matter has been pressing on my heart. The next college entrance examination is coming soon. Heavy review occupied most of my time, so I didn't go to Uncle Wu's place to play again, and I almost forgot about it.
I got into the university as I wished, and it was not bad. A college in Beijing accepted me. Two years passed quickly, and I was about to graduate. During the summer vacation, I always felt that I had something on my mind and stayed at home for a few boring days, and finally made up my mind to go back to my hometown to see my fifth uncle.
I am an adult in my twenties, so I bought it alone.
