Chapter 32 Chapter Eleven

Perhaps it was the experience of the same adversity in Tianniu Village, or maybe it was my extraordinary performance in Tianniu Village. Tian Xiaomei and Wang Erya treated us with a little more respect and obedience, and restored a little bit of feminine tenderness. A group of five people and the two dead bodies went northward all the way, but it went smoothly, and they came to Zhaniuping before they knew it. "Xiucai, the place names in Zhijiang are a bit weird. I just left Tianniu Village and came to Zhaniuping. Why are they all related to cattle?" Tian Gudao discovered the wonder of the place names.

"Mr. Tian is very right. My grandmother is from Zhijiang. When I was a child, I often came here. I know that there are cow dung fields, cow skin villages, thousand bulls, and Niuguping. When I was young, my grandmother It has been said that cattle are people's ancestors, and they can ensure that people have enough food and clothing, so people think that cattle are transformed by gods, and they respect them very much." As we walked forward, we found that there were more and more pedestrians on the road.Groups of Dong compatriots in costumes rushed forward. "Fellow townsmen, what are you going to do?" Tian Gudao curiously asked the Dong compatriots passing by.

The Dong compatriots looked at us curiously as they looked at the Tianlu corpse flag carried by the ghost cub.After some inspection, he said: "We are performing a cow fight here today." "Bull fighting? Could it be a bullfight? Anyway, we're going along the way, so we might as well join in the fun." Tian Gudao asked for my opinion. "Okay, okay!" Wang Erya was very excited. Bull fights are not real cow fights, but a unique folk performance created by the Dong people in Zhijiang for a long time.They fought the real cows in their lives, processed them and put them on the stage.It has a history of hundreds of years.It is generally performed in festive festivals and relatively large public places.

We just remembered that today is the September 9th Double Ninth Festival. When I came to a big market in Zhaniuping, the cattle fighting performance had not yet started.We found a remote highland and looked down at the excitement from the heights. At this time, the spectators formed a circle. I saw two cows shaking their bodies, jumping while walking.The two cows are dressed up by four people, and the heads are carved out of wood, covered with cloth, with real horns on them, and then made into leather with cloth, which is painted to be the same as the real cows.Two people pretend to be a cow, one person pretends to be a bull's head, and holds the wooden bull's head to perform.

There are two cow-watchers next to them: one looks at the bull and the other looks at the cow.Seeing Niu Gong is carrying a cow mouth cage on his back, while Kan Niu Po ​​is holding the cow mouth cage in her hand, and the two of them are holding the bullwhip in their hands, waving the whip non-stop. In the crowd, a six-member gong and drum team performed their duties, cooperated tacitly, and tinkered with the musical instruments in their hands. At this time, Kanniu Gong and Kanniu Po ​​flirted and teased each other very humorously, and sang songs to each other.I don't know if it is a folk song or a love song, but I only know that the scene is very lively. When watching Niu Gong tease and watch Niu Po, his appearance is funny, and the onlookers burst out laughing.

After a bit of flirting and teasing, the show begins. "Boom, boom, boom!" The drummer raised his arms and beat the drum with pride and passion, and the gongs and drums sounded! The two cows were ready to fight. They walked together affectionately, and then sharpened their horns, planed their hooves, rolled, etc. with the rhythm of gongs and drums. Watching the bull and the cow beside them, they argued unconvincedly with each other. win or lose. The gongs and drums became more and more urgent, and the two cows began to fight.Fight out a variety of stances and tricks, dizzying.The audience shouted to cheer and encourage, the climax of the bull fight was ups and downs, and the outcome was hard to tell.

At some point, the ghost cub curiously sneaked through the crowd, came to the performance area, inserted between the two cows, the cow-watching male, and the cow-watching woman, imitating their movements and performing. The six performers were stunned for a moment, probably confused by the ghost's unprovoked appearance, but they didn't know the reason.When everyone saw that it was a child, they didn't chase him away, and let him dance and perform together.Ghost Cub Yao also has a talent for acting, his movements are orderly, and he cooperates well with the other people, without looking obtrusive.

The spectators were not surprised by the appearance of ghost cubs except for being curious. They probably thought it was the latest performance form of bull fighting, but they found it interesting and novel, and kept cheering. Tian Xiaomei and Wang Erya applauded Gui Zaiyao vigorously.The bull fight is very interesting, the applause of the onlookers is constant, and the ghost cubs and monsters participate in it, we are also fascinated by watching it. Unconsciously, the sun was setting, the crowd began to loosen, and people began to leave from time to time.We just remembered that we had to keep going.They drove the corpse forward, but at this time something happened, the corpse of the cattle dealer Wu Liucong did not move at all!

"Grandma is a kimchi, I knew today was very strange, why did I hook up with the cow. Now it's the cattle dealer's turn to have something happen..." After Tian Gudao said this, I suddenly realized the mystery. We then re-cast the spell several times, but the dead body of the cattle dealer Wu Liucong still remained unmoved. "Xiucai, what's going on!" Tian Gudao whispered next to me. Surrounded by onlookers, although we played the banner of the Ming sect exorcising corpses, if others knew that there were two dead corpses standing beside us, they would definitely be shocked, which is naturally not a good thing.

The spectators slowly receded like a tide.There were only a few of us and a group of people left on the huge empty space, and there were actors performing bull fights in the middle of the field. "Guys, why don't you leave? Today's performance is over. If you don't enjoy it, come and see it next time." The woman who was performing to see the cow woman just now shouted at us while removing her makeup. I was a little embarrassed with Tian Gudao, so I responded indiscriminately. After carefully looking at the woman, the woman is estimated to be forty or fifty years old, with a rosy complexion, a bit of beauty, and looks like a young lady.Perhaps because of the flirting and teasing performance just now, the blush on his face has not faded away, showing a bit of enchantment that does not match his age in the setting sun, and the plump buttocks are particularly conspicuous.

Tian Xiaomei and Wang Erya came in without knowing it, and looked at us strangely.The ghost cub was still immersed in the performance just now, carrying the Tianlu flag up and down again. "Xiu Cai, what's going on?" I don't know either.Hurry up and take out the "Liu Pai Walking Corpse Side Door Secret Technique", which records that the dead body does not move in place, and there are five reasons for this: the soul is completely lost; Through the secret. "Then which of these five situations does it belong to?" Tian Gudao was a little anxious. I guessed, it turned out that Wu Liucong, a cattle dealer, met his former lover here. The souls of the dead have feelings just like the living. When they see their loved ones, they will protect them with all their strength; when they see someone they hate or even hate, they will try to do evil and torture them.On the way of walking, if the dead body meets a lover of the opposite sex, its soul will be reluctant to leave for a long time, so that it cannot drive away the dead body. Knowing the reason, I wiped off the Yang fire on my forehead and cast Yin spell. Seeing the ghost of Wu Liucong, a cattle dealer, actually closely following the leaving theater troupe!Could it be that his former lover was here? I took a closer look, and there was only one woman in the performance team, that is, a woman with a curvy buttocks who played the role of watching cows. From this point of view, Wu Liucong's lover in life was that woman with the buttocks! Wu Liucong, a cattle dealer, traveled all over the country with his grandfather when he was young. He learned how to touch cattle, test steps, test cars, and test plows, etc., and engaged in cattle trading for a living.Together with his father, Wu Liucong's family has been a cattle broker for three generations.Wu Liucong ran the most bull markets in Zhijiang, Mayang, and neighboring counties in Guizhou. People who work as cattle brokers actually go to the rivers and lakes and eat a lot of food.They usually rest wherever they go. There are no hotels in some places, and they usually stay at the homes of people they know or the homes of villagers who are willing to provide accommodation at night. Because of this, Wu Liucong is like a big brat, showing mercy everywhere. The woman who sang the opera just now was Wu Liucong's acquaintance and acquaintance when she went to Guizhou to sell cattle and stayed at her house. "Xiu Cai, how can we solve this situation?" "It is said in Liu Pai's secret technique of walking corpses that you can wipe the corners of the eyes of the dead with the tears of a lover of the opposite sex." "Then let's hurry up and ask the woman for a few tears." "I'm afraid it's not right!" "Why is it wrong?" "First, it's too presumptuous for us to go up to ask her for tears; second, even if she is willing to help give tears, it may not be able to cry immediately; If she goes to beg for tears at home, I'm afraid it will cause her husband's misunderstanding; fourth, if his husband knows about her relationship with the cattle dealer Wu Liucong, it will cause trouble..." "Stop! Stop talking, so many things are wrong! Then you should say something right!" Wang Erya came over to listen to our chatter, and after understanding the reason, she volunteered and said, "Isn't it just a few tears, I can help you with this! I love to cry since I was a child, and I have rich experience. Although I haven't cried much for many years, I have basic skills It’s still there, you should still be able to cry if you put in a little effort.” "Really? I really didn't see that you can cry! When you were young, you often made others cry!" Tian Gudao mocked Wang Erya. Wang Erya is straightforward, with a knife mouth, a bean curd heart, and she is a little unreasonable.And he likes to sing against Tian Gudao, he is really a pair of enemies. Hearing Tian Gudao's cynicism, Wang Erya was about to lose her temper, and I immediately interjected: "We appreciate Miss Wang's kindness, but the problem can only be solved with the tears of that 'look at the cow'." "Let's have a competition, let's see who can catch the tears of 'Wan Niu Po' first..." Wang Erya is a big kid and always has a lot of strange ideas, which is really comparable to Tian Gudao. "It's fun, it's fun!" Hearing that Wang Erya was going to compete with us, the ghost cub patted his little palm, revealing his true nature as a naughty boy. "Compare, who is afraid of who!" Tian Gudao became interested when he heard the competition, "Just play bigger, let's set a bet, whoever gets the tears of the woman with the hips first, wins, loses." The party who wins must pay the winner three hundred cash, do you dare to bet?" "It's a deal!" Wang Erya glanced at Tian Xiaomei, and after getting the acquiescence, she took out three hundred Wen from her pocket. Ghost Cub Yao took the copper wire, and then took out three hundred coins from Tian Gudao's pocket, and acted as the referee, standing aside and giggling. "Xiucai, hurry up and recruit! If you lose to two women, copper coins are a trivial matter, but you will lose face!" Tian Gudao came over and whispered to me.Seeing that I didn't respond for a while, Tian Gudao ran towards the theater troupe in front, fearing that Wang Erya would take the lead. Tian Gudao went straight to the theater troupe, stepped forward and pulled the woman with the hips aside.His abrupt behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of several men beside the woman, and they flocked over to clean him up.Tian Gudao was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain it.The more this was the case, the more the men thought he was a hooligan, so they punched him. I hurried up to make a rescue: "My brother just recognized the wrong person. His sister was abducted by bad guys a few days ago, and we are looking around. He was eager to find someone, and he mistakenly took this elder sister as his own sister when he saw his back. These days, I am very anxious, irritable, and my mind is a little confused, please don't misunderstand me!" When everyone heard what I said, they put away their fists and turned to express sympathy for Tian Gudao.The buttocked woman also patted Tian Gudao's shoulder, comforting him gently. After the other party left, Tian Xiaomei and Wang Erya squatted on the ground and laughed non-stop. Tian Gudao's face was a bit ugly, and he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he yelled at me: "Your sister was kidnapped by bad guys!" When Tian Xiaomei and Wang Erya heard this, they laughed even harder.Ghost Cub Yao also accompanied Han Xiao. "Xiu Cai, have you figured out a way? If you tell her that Wu Liucong is dead, she will cry!" Tian Gudao was ready to put all his eggs in one basket. "No! If she cries, others will know that she has something to do with Wu Liucong. We can't harm her for our own benefit. If you do this, she may deliberately cover up and not cry." I stopped Tian Gudao "I have an idea. You sneak up in front of them immediately, place a pile of wet branches at a narrow intersection, and when you see them approaching, set them ablaze. These wet branches emit thick, blinding smoke, and they If I can’t stand it, I will cry. I will prepare a towel covered with hot peppers, and when the woman is crying, I will send a towel to her to wipe her tears. The hot peppers will stimulate her, and she will cry more and more. The tears stuck to the towel, and I took it back to wipe the eyes of the dead Wu Liucong. This will naturally solve the problem." "Good idea! I didn't expect scholars to be so treacherous!" Tian Gudao said while doing things according to plan. Sure enough, he followed the troupe and walked forward for a while, and suddenly saw thick smoke billowing in front of him, which made people blinded by the smoke.Tian Xiaomei, Wang Erya, and Gui Zai Yao kept choking and covering their eyes.Wang Erya cursed: "Which wicked ghost..." I held the towel in my hand, guessing that the heat was almost ready, and was about to step forward.At this moment, the sky suddenly changed, and it rained heavily in an instant, extinguishing the billowing smoke, and our plan was immediately ruined. I can't scream!The trick he finally came up with was in vain. Strange to say, when the thick smoke cleared, the rain suddenly stopped. Without the cover of the smoke, Tian Gudao in front of him was suddenly exposed, his face was darkened, and his appearance was very funny. Seeing this, I had no choice but to make a last effort, took out a towel, and walked towards the woman, preparing to hand her a towel to wipe off the rain.Before reaching the woman, Wang Erya ran up from behind and snatched the towel from my hand. I was about to chase after her, but Wang Erya had already handed Tian Xiaomei a towel to wipe off the rain on her face. "Ouch..." Tian Xiaomei screamed, covering her eyes with a pair of jade hands, rubbing her eyes for a while, and taking them away for a while.It's not rubbing, it's not rubbing, the expression is very painful. "Miss, what's the matter? Don't scare me!" Wang Erya hurried to catch up with a frightened and mournful face. "It's so glaring, it smells so spicy, I can't open my eyes, give me some water..." Tian Xiaomei couldn't stand the stimulation of the chili, and burst into tears. Wang Erya was in a hurry, and finally took care of Tian Xiaomei.At this time, Tian Xiaomei had already guessed that I had tampered with the towel, but there was no evidence, so it was inconvenient to attack. Suddenly, Wang Erya chased after the curvy woman in front, and they were cleaning the rainwater on their bodies by the side of the road. Wang Erya pulled the woman aside and whispered something.Not long after, suddenly, I saw the woman shrugging her shoulders and sobbing, tears streaming down her face.Wang Erya hastily took out her handkerchief and wiped away the woman's tears, which penetrated the handkerchief.Wang Erya picked up the handkerchief, ran towards me immediately, came straight to Wu Liucong's dead body, and wiped Wu Liucong's eyes with the handkerchief soaked by the woman. "Xiu Cai, try casting a spell on the dead body to see if it can move the dead body! Don't play tricks on purpose, or I will tell others the truth, and you won't be able to close it!" Wang Erya threatened me. In fact, I didn't even think about cheating on my debts. Wang Erya really treats the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.I cast a spell and chanted, and Wu Liucong's corpse could indeed walk! "You win, you win!" Gui Zaiyao gave Wang Erya all the six hundred Wen in his pocket. Wang Erya took the copper coins and ran to the woman again. The two of them turned their backs to us and whispered while hiding aside. After a while, I saw the woman showing a happy smile and waving goodbye to Wang Erya... Tian Gudao ran over with a dejected look on his face, and then looked at Wang Erya in confusion: "Damn girl, what did you say to the woman just now, she cries for a while and laughs for a while, how do you cooperate with me?" Wang Erya raised her head proudly, pretended to ignore it, and then deliberately asked, "Want to know?" "Speak if you have something to say, fart if you have something to say, hurry up!" Tian Gudao just wanted to reveal the answer immediately. In fact, Tian Xiaomei and I are also looking forward to it, and also want to know what this ghost girl said to the woman. "You guys are really a bunch of fools. It's actually very simple. I walked over to her and said: Sister, do you want to make money? She said of course she did. I said you cry, and I'll give you three hundred cash. She said you wouldn't lie to me. I said lying to you would be a terrible death. So she cried immediately... After that, I fulfilled my promise and gave her three hundred Wen. She happily said, next time I have this kind of work, come to me again..." Tian Gudao and I stayed where we were.Tian Xiaomei laughed so hard that her branches trembled...
