In the middle of the night, as soon as there was a sound of gongs and drums in the Yaoshen Temple, everyone in the village knew that it was another suspicious person detained during the day.This kind of sound of gongs and drums rings at night every now and then, and people gradually get used to it. However, in Gulu Village, I don’t know when, at night, the cats call Chun. It’s not one cat or two cats, but seven or eight. Screaming, screaming one after another, some are crying like a child whose ears have been pinched by an adult, some are crying on the grave of someone who has just died, some are screaming like a hoarse voice and a broken gong, and the cat is called Chunbiyao The screams in the temple made people feel even more nervous.Elderly people can't close their eyes all night, and even the dog urine moss wakes up from the dream, and can't sleep again.The dog got up and saw that Po was still sitting on the other side of the kang and cutting her paper flowers. He went to pee in the urinal and said: Po, Po, whose cat is this?The mother-in-law is deaf, and she can vaguely hear the sound of gongs, drums and cats, but these noises do not affect her emotions, as if those noises are like the wind blowing a broom in the yard, like a pig humming in a pen, She still cuts her paper flowers quietly.The dog urine moss said again: mother, mother, don't you think it's too noisy?This time I asked my mother-in-law loudly, and my mother-in-law heard it and said, "What are you talking about?"Go to sleep after urinating, standing on the cold floor looking for a cold!The dog peeed moss on the kang, and snuggled up to see what the mother-in-law had cut, but the mother-in-law refused to let him see, and urged him to sleep, so he poked a hole in the window paper.It was snowing again in the yard, and the snowy night was a white night. He saw many leaves suddenly growing on the tree at the root of the yard wall.The tree was already a bare trunk, why did it have leaves? I looked closely and saw that it was covered with bats. I was surprised and said, "Mother, there are so many bats!"The mother-in-law said: It’s snowing, what kind of bats are there, sleep with you!He blew out the lamp with a puff, and the mother-in-law fell asleep.Goupiamos was still thinking about bats, and said: Mother, the bats have hung our tree!The mother-in-law said: Bats are a blessing.The dog urine moss said: what good is it that bats are so ugly?The mother-in-law said: Ugly can avoid evil.It was the first time I heard that being ugly can ward off evil spirits. This seems to be true. His dog peeing moss is ugly and the village is in such a mess. Does he have nothing to do? Deng has been fighting all his life, and he is still running outside, not knowing whether he is dead or alive.Goupiamos said: "Hey, you said that being ugly can ward off evil spirits. People in the village heard that bats are transformed by ghosts. Why is the ghost on the tree in our yard?"The mother-in-law said: They fly away at dawn.Gou Uitao said: Why wait until dawn, we have to drive out the ghosts!The mother-in-law got angry and said: What are you doing so much!It's a ghost, let the ghost guard the night outside!

Finally it was dawn, and the dog got up early. There were no bats on the tree at the root of the courtyard wall. The bats left with Ye, but there was snow as thick as chicken feet on the ground in the courtyard.He walked out of the yard, and there were some people in the village road, all sweeping the snow in front of their houses with brooms and shovels.The third aunt and Lao Shun were talking under the eucommia tree, their voices were not loud, but they could be heard clearly, as if the words were also frozen, with a crisp sound.The third aunt said: "Old Shun, are you going to pick up the dung this morning?"Lao Shun said: "What kind of dung are you picking up in the snow? Have you seen it going back and forth?"The third aunt said: Did you see anyone again?How long have we not seen each other?Lao Shun said: I slept soundly at night. I didn’t see her when the cat called me and woke up. I just said that she went to the bathroom and didn’t care. When I woke up at dawn, the dog was there and she wasn’t there.The third aunt said: Why is the dog here and she is not there?You each sleep in your own?Lao Shun said: How can we sleep in our own place? It's cold and the quilt is thin, so the dog sleeps between us to keep warm.The third aunt said: Oh.Where could she go, the bat?Lao Shun said: Calling bats?The third aunt said: "Early in the morning, the pillars were yelling for bats, and many people went to the entrance of the village. Are there no bats in your yard?"Lao Shun said: I didn't pay attention to this.The third aunt said: God, there are bats everywhere. There is a string hanging from the eaves of my house, and the post said that several of them got into the upper room of his house.Lao Shun said: I heard that Li Zhu's mother has been sick all the time?The third aunt said: I am sick, I think it is difficult to survive this winter, or the pillars are screaming and bats, does he find it unlucky?The dog pee moss walked over and said: There are bats on my tree too!He walked in a hurry, slipped and sat on the snow.The third aunt and Lao Shun didn't go to pull him, the third aunt said: What's the matter, there were bats before but not so many bats, all of a sudden there are so many niggers!Lao Shun, Lao Shun, this can't be related to Kaishi, right?

The third aunt asked Lao Shun what she said, and Lao Shun couldn't say anything, but Goupiati remembered the words. He was a little scared, and even connected Kai Shi with his slipping and falling on the snow.Kai Shi tripped him with his feet on the day of the first snowfall, and he slipped and fell. This time the slip was almost the same as that one. He heard the bones all over his body as if they were installed with wood, click, and then fell. Slumped to the ground.Gouiamo told Niu Ling that the bat was transformed from Kaishi's ghost, and Niubell told Tianbu's daughter-in-law. It was Huang Shengsheng's ghost who changed, and the length and width were given to Bai Zi. When Li Zhu came to Bai Zi's house to borrow noodles, when Bai Zi said the words about length and width, Li Zhu's face changed, and he said: "I have to go to town now." on.Baizi asked what he was doing in town, but Lizhu didn't say anything, just took the noodles and left.

The bats were discussed in the kiln and at the kiln station. The horror of ghosts shrouded Gulu Village. Every person who went to the road checkpoint after a shift lit a torch. Passing through the lane, he took the torch to shine on the corrugated trees and trees on the courtyard wall. , to check for bats, for three days in a row, only seven bats were found, and they were roasted with torches, and the bats did not appear again.But the cat is still calling Chun, and when it sees a cat called Chun, it will be kicked out.Changkuan said: "What are you doing with the cat that is kicked out? Everyone does that. Why don't you let the cat meow?"Confused about length and width: What do you mean?Changkuan said: People still have to be capable!Confusedly said: I don't understand.Chang Kuan said: Poor.Confusedly said: Who is pitiful?Chang Kuan said: You are poor.Confused raised his fist and said: I am poor?Do you dare to say that I am poor? !Changkuan said: I am not a red sword, no one will help you in a fight.Confused, he loosened his fist in the end.

Zhang Kuan and Mi Hu almost got into a fight in the alley, but Li Zhu called his two brothers and three sisters to his old yard to discuss matters.Lizhu's mother has been ill for many years. After Lizhu was injured by people from Xiahewan and Zhenlian, she was shocked and fell asleep, and never got off the kang.Seeing that the old man was getting worse day by day, and with so many bats flying into the yard, and even into the house, he felt unsatisfactory in his heart. After hearing what Bai Zi said, he bought it for his mother in the town. shroud.His father died early, when he buried his father, he built a double tomb, and made a coffin for his mother at the same time. According to the rules established by the brothers, his mother's tomb was arched by the second child, and the coffin was made by the third child. The shroud and funeral By him.Li Zhu called his brother and sister to his old yard. In the upper room, his mother was dying on the kang, and in the lower house they discussed about preparing for the funeral for their mother.Li Zhu took out a full set of shrouds and said that we are only one old man, and we have to dress the old man well before we leave. He originally bought a three-piece suit, but he bought a five-piece suit, and the five-piece suit cost more money. The money paid should be shared equally among the three brothers.As soon as this was said, the two brothers disagreed, and the three of them quarreled. Li Zhu was so angry that he took the shroud and went out, saying: "Okay, okay, blame me for buying too much, I will give it to me if I bought too much." Stay, I will wear it!The three girls came out to chase him away, but they couldn't catch him, so they walked down the alleyway to the west of the village with red necks and blushing faces.

In the evening of the second day, the snow still fell unhurriedly, and everything was frozen on the ground. The pigpen in Moyan’s house collapsed, and the pig ran out. In the woods, he was so anxious that he wanted to pick up a stone to beat a pig. Seeing a stone on the ground, he couldn't pick it up, so he went to pick up a brick, but the brick still couldn't be picked up. I saw a shadow moving in the cemetery behind the woods, big and small, and the pig stopped chasing, shouting that there are ghosts and ghosts, and ran back to the village road.After hearing this, the villagers asked if they looked at the person, and Mo Yan said who went to the cemetery at the moment, how could the person suddenly grow up and suddenly become smaller?Then I asked if it was a wolf. It was snowing and the wolf was hungry. Maybe the wolf hid in the cemetery and waited until it got dark before entering the village?Mo Yan said it wasn't a wolf, how could a wolf stand up on its four legs on the ground, and besides, the pig was paralyzed from fright when it smelled the wolf, would the pig still run into the woods?So it's a ghost, but is it a ghost? Besides, the pig from Moyan's family has to be found. Thanks to the large number of people, a group of people went into the woods, but they didn't see anything again. The pig was in a tree. Dozed off under a tree.But at this moment, Shuai came silently from the other side of the woods.It turned out to be back and forth?But Moyan insisted that the shadow he saw was not back and forth, so even if Moyan was delusional, the cemetery was indeed back and forth, why did Huihui go to the cemetery when it was dark?Ask back and forth: What did you do?Back and forth without saying a word, he staggered towards the village road, and Lao Shun ran over like a gust of wind, and said, "Where have you been?"Where have you been?He carried it back and forth, like carrying a bag of grain, and was about to go home when the Lizhu family in the front alley began to cry.

The column is dead. Lizhu left the old yard of his house in anger the first day, and walked to the west of the village. He didn't come back overnight, and he was still nowhere to be seen the next day. His wife thought that Lizhu had lost her temper and went to the town to return the three shrouds. Care more.In the evening, his daughter-in-law was rolling out noodles on the chopping board. The dough could not be rolled well, and there was a hole in the middle when it was rolled out. After kneading and rolling, the hole was still in the middle.The pillar went through the door.His daughter-in-law saw that Lizhu was covered in mud and snow, his face was black and blue, and he was still holding three shrouds in his hand, so he asked you why you didn't return the shrouds when you went to town?Lizhu said that he didn't go, and he was so angry that he turned around in the back depression all night and then all day.His daughter-in-law wanted to scold him, but she didn't, telling him to rest quickly and go to bed early after dinner.The upright sat on the kitchen sill, still panting.His daughter-in-law was rolling out noodles again, when she heard a bang, she turned her head to look, and saw that the pillar had fallen under the threshold, her head and neck suddenly became very thick, and she hurriedly said, "What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?"Li Zhu's eyes widened, and he didn't speak again.

Lizhu died as soon as he said he would die. In the past ten years, no one in Gulu Village died so quickly as he did.As soon as he died, his mother's illness improved inexplicably, and he was buried in the shroud bought for his mother. Everyone in the village said that he shouldn't have said that he should leave the shroud for him to wear.He died as quickly as possible and was buried as soon as possible, because he was able to burn kilns, and he was full of bad words and offended many people. He was wounded by the head of the town union again, and had a grudge with someone surnamed Ye. His funeral was handled very simply. It was his mother who used a cane to beg Bacao, and Bacao sent the hammer team seven or eight. Individuals carried the coffin to the grave and buried it.

People in Gulu Village died one after another, even the pillars died, and people believed more and more that there were ghosts in the village.Hui Hui is definitely not a ghost, she is just a crazy woman, but does Hui Hui have anything to do with ghosts, or does Hui Hui see ghosts?When Goupimo and Niuling saw each other, they always wanted to get some words out of Laihui's mouth, but they never spoke, and looked at people with a very weird look, and then they gnawed carrots. She loves to eat radishes, said Niuling. : Haven't you smelled that scent lately?Dog urine moss said: no.Niu Ling said, "They are all dead. Didn't you hear that?"Dog urine moss said: I didn't smell it.Cowbell sighed regretfully, but Goupimos was glad that his nose finally didn't smell the smell, so he stuck out his tongue and licked his nose, which was regarded as a reward for his nose.It was covered with snow and white flowers. When they stood in front of the mountain gate and looked towards the woods, talking about how they found out that day, and where the pillar was buried in the cemetery, there was a fluttering sound, and a few birds flew over their heads.Goupiamos recognized that it was a bird on a white bark pine, and when he pinched his beak, he barked: Quack, quack - true!However, the bird didn't stop, and kept flying up Zhongshan.Niu Ling said: Someone asked a good man to tell him about his illness again!Goupiamos said: Are there still good people invited this time?Having said that, they also decided why not go to the mountain temple to see the good people?

It has been many days since I went to the mountain temple, and the good man seems to have never appeared on the village road again. The dog pee moss and the cow bell rushed to the top of the mountain. Three people sat on the steps outside the temple. It seems that they have been here for a long time. The snow had all disappeared, and a puddle of water came out under the feet, and the good man just came out from the door to hug the firewood under the tree.The good man lost a lot of weight, and even his waist was bent. What surprised the dog was that the good man still had a piece of white cloth tied around his head.The dog urine moss said: Is your head still hurting?The good man said: It will be lighter in a few days, and it will be heavier in a few days.Goupiamo felt guilty that he had taken the pumpkin and never thought about the good man's illness, so he hurried to help hold the firewood, but the good man said: Are those pumpkins used?The good man said that the pumpkin was used instead of eating it. Did the good man already know the whole story?Goupiamos didn't know how to answer for a while.The good man said again: Are you ready?This remark made Goupiamos confirm that good people know everything, but he was even more squeamish, because after he also sent the pumpkin, whether the mill’s injury was healed or not, he didn’t go to see it, and he didn’t see it again. I heard my mother-in-law or my wife mentioned it.Niu Ling said: What are you talking about?Dog urine moss said: He asked about my mother-in-law's ears.When the good man saw what Goupiati said, he smiled, let Goupiatis and the cow bell into the house, and said, "Come play with me in this cold weather. There are some potatoes simmering in the stove. If you want to eat them, go dig them up." Look familiar or not.

Entering the room, there was still a person sitting in the room. It seemed that he had talked with the good man for a while. The good man folded the firewood, put it in the kang hole, took off his shoes and sat on the quilt on the kang.Dog urine moss digs out potatoes in the stove. The potatoes are cooked, but they are hot, so they pour their hands back and forth.The good man said: If you want to eat in the house, you should be quiet. I will tell others about the illness first.Then he said to the man: What did you just say?The man said: You said that the time has come, the well-off world has come to an end, if there is a ladder that cannot be climbed, it must come to an end.The good man said: Oh.If people's desires flow freely, and the rules and regulations are swept away, the world will definitely be in chaos. If you want to do well, you must learn to transcend the three realms.Man's nature is the fractal of the heavens, he lives only by breathing the qi of the earth, and his body is the fractal of his parents.Because human beings are born in the Three Realms, they have the ability to go beyond the Three Realms.Human nature is kind, but because of being constrained by temperament and blinded by material desires, it is unclear and ineffective.The heart is in the hell, the heart is evil and righteous, and ghosts and gods know themselves.If you have selfish desires in your heart, you will be tempted by foreign objects.People are full of desires, do everything, have no masters, and are full of evil spirits, they are ghosts.In fact, the way to be a human being is very simple. If a person can be filial to his parents, respect his elders, and love his children at home with a kind nature, he will be able to work hard, and he will not be involved in the bad habits of eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking.Keeping the five moral principles can cultivate the mind, restore the conscience, and purify selfish desires. By following the five moral principles, one can train one's temper until one loses one's temper and restore one's nature.Did you understand what I said? The good man asked the man, the man nodded, but the dog urine moss and the cow bell seemed to be in the clouds.The good man is still saying: Your disease is caused by improper employment, resulting in a deficit, and the resentment of relatives and neighbors for debt collection.I will teach you how, no matter who scolds or sighs at you, you will pretend to be sad and say nothing, let them quarrel, and secretly resolve in your heart that bad things can't be bad. road.After they leave, you have to laugh and say loudly to yourself: Debt, debt!Everyone is afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you.Others force you to worry, so you can eat people, I am happy to see you, you can't do anything to me!If you laugh like this three times a day, you will be cured in three days.After Goupimos finished eating his own potatoes, he asked Cowbell again, but Cowbell refused. The man said goodbye and went out. Cowbell stuffed the remaining potatoes into his mouth, and a big lump bulged out of his cheek.The two of them quieted down and sat on the futon, and another person came in from outside the door, his eyes were red like assholes, and he sat down on the edge of the kang. Gold four-step luck, at present, you lose confidence in things, get angry, that's why you get sick.For example, if you make an appointment to meet six guests, and each of them will talk for a while, if the guests say the time, you will feel anxious, anxious and anxious, and your eyes will hurt.If you don't have confidence, you will get angry, your mind will be unstable, and you don't like to eat.The red-eyed man said: How can I know my heart disease without a pulse diagnosis?A good man said: The five internal organs of a person, the five meridians of the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney, are in harmony with one's complexion. If one of the meridians is sick, one can tell by the complexion.Illness is caused by eating the five poisonous gases of anger, hatred, resentment, annoyance, and annoyance. If you can believe everything in the future, and don't rush or complain, you will starve to death from the illness.The red-eyed man asked again if there is a prescription?The good man said: You don't need to take medicine, you will always be gentle and your illness will be cured.Cowbell quietly asked the dog pee moss: In this way, the disease can be cured?The dog pee moss said: It's fine if you don't.Niu Ling said: Then his head still hurts, why don't he let his head hurt?Dog urine moss said: I know, doctors are not autonomous.The good man said: What are you talking about with the cow bell? Are your ears healed?As soon as he raised his ear, Niu Ling cursed, saying wait, when Tianbu Zaohuo Mill comes back, he will cut off the ear of the person who hurt his ear, cut it off and mix it with wine, believe it or not.The good man said: Are you still so ruthless?Niu Ling said: Am I from Red Broadsword?The good man said: The one with the red sword is pouring water for the people designated by the county federation to cook?Niu Ling said: Then I want to eat steamed buns, you know all about this?The benevolent man laughed and said, "It's fine if you don't blame others."Niu Ling looked unhappy, and the red-eyed man said, "I've been thinking about the words of the good man. When I go back, I will write a note and stick it on the wall, and write: The good man told me not to blame others. This is the root of great kindness in adulthood. From now on, I will ask you every day." , Do you still blame others?Dog urine moss said: Are you a teacher?The red-eyed man said: "It's the teacher, where do you go to school, what grade?"The cowbell pulled the dog's pee moss and said: Let's go outside the door to play with the birds.The two went out. After the red-eyed man left, another person on the steps outside the door went in again. He came to thank the good man. He said that he was walking along the road from east to west. When he passed the checkpoint, the first person who walked in front was inspected. He was detained, and the second person was also detained. Seeing this situation, he couldn't run back, so he continued to move forward regardless of everything, but unexpectedly let him go.He swaggered into the village. He entered the village to see his brother-in-law. His brother-in-law was arrested and sent to the political training class, but there were guards at the gate of the political training class. Once he met, he went up the mountain to meet the good man again.The good man looked at him, there was a scar on his right cheek, and said: Your surname is Wang, have you been here?Wang Bao said: "I've been here before. The last time I came to ask you for advice, I had a premonition that there would be a big change in the world. I was in a state of anxiety all day long. I always felt that I was going to meet some bad news or get some bad disease. You told me about it." The Dao of the Four Realms defines that a person has a physical body and will eventually die. In the face of life and death, if one can stay still and not say anything, after death like this, one will be the Zhijie.When a person dies, he intends to serve the public, joyfully regards death as his home, and thinks that death is well deserved, so death in this way is the mind realm.If when you die, you are concerned about everything, you are reluctant to let go, you feel a little sad, and you die like this, it is the heart realm.If at the time of death, there are thoughts of injustice, resentment and hatred, then death will be the physical world.You let me distinguish these clearly, stay in place, when disaster is imminent, if the heart is not shaken, calamity will come.Later, when I went to fight in the county, I took the shuttle bus to go to Qingfengguan that day. When the shuttle bus left the county town ten miles away, gunshots rang out and the car was in chaos. A young man beside him then got into the seat.When the fighting was over, the young man still did not come out. I leaned over and saw that the young man had been killed by stray bullets.That bus didn't go to Qingfengguan again, I walked to the county town again, and there were three consecutive fightings in the county town, I was still calm as usual and didn't suffer any disaster.So, when I came to see my brother-in-law, I was going to tell him what you told me, but it didn't happen, so I decided to come and see you.The good man said: This is good.You must always remember: he changes things, I change people, he builds temples, and I cultivate gods.Wang Ba nodded, and took out five yuan from his pocket to give to the benevolent person. The benevolent person didn't want it. Wang Ba said, "Why don't you want it? You saved my life. Isn't a life worth five yuan?"What's more, I want you to tell me whether my brother-in-law can avoid this difficulty. He is indeed not a member of the Federation. He wants to go to Xinjiang while the world is in chaos. He insisted that he belonged to the Federation President, so he was detained.Just as Wang Ba put the five yuan on the edge of the kang, Goupiati came in and said: The Fat Joint Finger is here! Before the words were finished, the fat man really entered the door, and said as soon as he entered: There are so many people here, what are they doing?The good man was still sitting under the quilt, and said: "It's cold, you come up to sit, the kang is hot, they come to ask about illnesses."The fat man said: Isn't it?He saw the five yuan bill and took it without any hassle.Wang Ba said: This is the money I paid for the medical treatment.The fat man didn't talk to Wang Ba, but said to the good man: I knew you told him that you were sick, so we didn't come. Who knew that you charged so much for saying you were sick.So many of us have no money to spend or food to eat, the Grain Station Credit Union has lent us money for food, and so many people in the village have given us food and drink, but you have never expressed anything.The good man said: "Then you can take it. It's the money for asking for a sickness. There is a sickness in the money."The fat man said: What are you talking about?The good man said: I am not not giving it to you, I am taking extra care for you, lest you will be in danger.The fat man said: This is your heart? !Let me tell you, you have to prepare, you have to go to Xiahewan in the afternoon.The good man said: Go to the next river bend?The fat man said: Huang Shengsheng was not cured in the town health center. For those who were not treated by western medicine, Minister Ma has already sent someone to pick him up, and then he will go to Xiahewan for Chinese medicine treatment.When Huang Shengsheng is brought back, you go with him, and if you are really capable, tell him about his illness.The good man said: I will not go here.The fat man said: Don't go?The good man said: he is not sick, he is burnt.The fat man said: You did it on purpose, I can tell you, this is the meaning of Minister Ma and Bacao, if you go, go, or if you don’t go, you have to go!The good man said: In this case, Comrade Huang got stuck at the station, and you shouted loudly on the road, and I could hear it here, so I went down the mountain. As soon as the fat man left, the dog was scared for the good man.The good man said: What are you afraid of?Do you think his surname Huang can come alive?Are you two here to play or what?The dog peeing moss was still scared, and said: You said you won't go to Xiahewan?We are fine.Niu Ling said: It's all right, didn't you come to ask if there are ghosts?But the good man laughed and said: Let Kaishi scare you two too?Goupimos said: You don't go down the mountain, but you know everything?The good man said: Do you want to see a ghost?Goupimos said: Can you see ghosts too?Niu Ling said: I want to see you, I want to see you.The good man said: You go to the ditch and bring me a bucket of water, and I will teach you how to see hell. The dog pee moss and the cow bell went to the ditch to bring up a bucket of water, and the kind man taught them a method of hell: in the middle of the night, no outsiders should sit quietly at the crossroads, cover their feet with white paper, and cover their heads with white paper. A piece of white paper, put a piece of mud on the white paper, the mud is shoveled from the grass, there should be some grass on it, then burn a stick of incense on the mud, sit quietly, put your hands on your knees, The eyes are half-opened and half-closed, and the ghost will come after a pot of smoke.
