Chapter 2 Chapter 224 Self-combing Girl

Wei Ning couldn't stand it anymore, and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's going on?" Zhang Long sighed and said: "This is all the sin we made in the past, let my son... Oh, poor!" Hearing the tone of this couple, Wei Ning probably knew that the son of Zhang Long and his wife died in an accident in all likelihood, but what does this have to do with the old woman outside the door? At this time, Zhang Long stopped hiding from Wei Ning, and said: "The old woman outside the door is the self-combed girl of Bing Xintang, and she came to buy the door for her sisters."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Wei Ning was even more confused when he heard it. After Zhang Long explained, Wei Ning finally understood.The so-called self-combing women are those women who will never marry for life. After holding the "combing bun" ceremony, they put their braids into a bun, expressing that they will never marry.Most of them live in groups in the aunt's house, supporting each other, and have a very deep relationship. The most famous aunt's village today is Bing Xintang, which is known as an important witness to the history of self-combing girls in the southern region.But according to the common practice, they cannot die in their natal family or other relatives' homes, they can only be carried outside the village, and after death, they can only be hanged by their own sisters to pay homage to the grave, in order to make their own death less miserable, Therefore, some self-combed women often go to "guard the tomb".

"Shou Tomb Clearance" is also called "buy the door", that is, the self-combed women find a dead man to marry and become the wife of the deceased in name, so that they can die in the husband's family in the future, and these self-combed women have to pay a sum of money to the husband's family to "buy". doorway". Only then did Wei Ning realize that this self-combing girl came to "buy the door", but why did the Zhang family disagree?After thinking about it later, I realized that the Long and his wife were regarded as white-haired people sending black-haired people. Naturally, they felt extremely painful about the tragic death of their son. If they hired another self-combing girl to buy the door, they might disturb their son. quiet.In addition, the concept of rural people is relatively old-fashioned, and the status of women is naturally not high. Self-combing women are usually mysterious, and they are easily contaminated with some ghosts. It is natural for ordinary and honest people not to want to deal with them.

This self-combing girl obviously heard the news of the death of Zhang's parents and came here specially to "buy the door". This will naturally hurt the sensitive nerves of Zhang Long and his wife. Zhang Long waved his hand and said, "Grandma, I also know your difficulties, but the poor boy of my family... has not even found the body yet, so you came to buy the door, aren't you trying to curse us? Maybe my child He hasn't died yet!" Apparently, Zhang Long still held a glimmer of hope in his heart. Wei Ning's heart moved, and he said: "Brother Zhang, what's going on, tell me, maybe I can help you."

"Hey, what can you help? The officers and soldiers of the government have been looking for it for almost a month, but they can't find anyone alive or dead! These days, my husband and I are really... Sigh!" Zhang Long faced The old woman outside forced a smile, and said, "Grandma, don't stand outside, it's windy outside, and you're getting old, a mistake is not good for anyone, come in and rest." Zhang Long has no hope that Wei Ning can help, but rural people are always willing to share their sufferings with others, which can also win a little sympathy from others.It turned out that Zhang Long originally had a child, the only seedling in the family, and he was a good young man with a craft in the town. Over the years, he had earned some money, and he was about to find a wife for him, but he didn't know What's the matter, this person disappeared for no reason a month ago, the Zhangs and his wife have issued a notice and reported the crime, but the child is still alive and dead.Now Zhang Long and his wife have already prepared for the worst, and shed tears all day long. Originally, the mood of the two of them has just improved these days. Isn't it just to sprinkle salt on the wounds of their husband and wife?Therefore, Zhang Long and his wife were extremely disgusted.

Wei Ning frowned and said, "Brother Zhang, can you tell me your son's horoscope?" Zhang Long was stunned for a moment, seeing that Wei Ning had already taken out five copper coins from his pocket and lined them up, he said in astonishment, "Could it be that you are a Mr. Yin and Yang?" Wei Ning nodded with a smile. After listening to Zhang Long's son's horoscope, Wei Ning threw the five emperors' money into the air, using the "Fire Pearl Spirit" method taught by Wang Tuozi. After seeing the hexagrams, Wei Ning He frowned and said: "Look at the hexagram, your son's fate will start at two months and two days after his birth, and he will be lucky at two months and days and hours after his birth. The hexagram shows that he will be lucky at the age of twenty-seven. Great catastrophe, but it doesn't show that his life ends here!"

Seeing Wei Ning's seriousness, Zhang Long couldn't help but feel happy, and said: "Yes, sir, you are really accurate. My son took over a business when he was twenty-seven years old, and then he started slowly. Currently this handicraft shop." Seeing that Wei Ning's calculations were very accurate, Zhang Long was overwhelmed with confidence and said, "Sir, do you mean my son is not dead?" Zhang Long's wife stood up quickly when she heard this, with a look of joy on her face. Wei Ning smiled wryly and said: "This is just a display on the hexagram, and I also deduce it according to the hexagram, it may not be true."

Zhang Long's daughter-in-law suddenly knelt down at Wei Ning's feet and said, "Sir, as long as you can save my Zhang Mao, I will work for you in the next life without any complaints!" Wei Ning quickly helped Zhang's sister-in-law up, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, you can't do this, I will do my best. It's just that my skill is still weak, so I may not be able to help you find your son..." "Just do your best, just do your best." Zhang Long and his wife seemed to be drowning people grabbing a life-saving straw, and now they can only place their hopes on Wei Ning.

Just as Wei Ning and the Zhangs were talking, a look of surprise suddenly flashed in the eyes of this old self-combing girl, and she became a little uneasy. Wei Ning asked: "Before your son disappeared, did you have any strange behavior?" Zhang Long frowned into the word "Chuan", and thought carefully: "Usually he works in the handicraft shop in the town, but he doesn't do anything special. I remember that night he told his mother that he was going out for dinner. Woolen cloth." "Has he never met someone special or something special?" "People or things..." Zhang Long tried hard to remember, and suddenly said loudly, "By the way, it seems that a girlfriend he was talking about died at that time, and the child was sad about this for a long time, but later I haven't heard him mention that woman again, do you think it has something to do with my son's disappearance?"

Wei Ning said: "We have no other way now, we can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and every useful clue must not be let go. Can you find out where the woman is buried? I'll go and see." "This..." Zhang Long said with some embarrassment, "We really don't know." "Why don't you ask Zhao Shun, Zhang Mao's friend." Mrs. Zhang suggested. "Yes, that little bastard must know." Zhang Longxi said, "I'll ask Zhao Shun now." After speaking, Zhang Long ran out impatiently, and after a while he ran back excitedly and said, "I know, this girl is the daughter of the Leng family in the neighboring village, and she was buried on the cemetery next to the two villages. Let's go see it together tomorrow!"
