Grandpa and a few people agreed to cut down the tree time is three days later, that night Grandpa told Grandma He's words, so the next day, Grandma refused to let Grandpa go, but Grandpa is also stubborn, the statue of God are smashed, cut down a tree, what? In fact, grandpa is also a smart person, his identity makes him can not not go, but he decided, according to the words of the real Ho to do, not close to within three feet, cut back three days and nights do not go out.
Words said is to defeat the cow ghosts, snakes and gods, but some ideas, really is deeply rooted thousands of years, this cypress legend is also very much, so really cut when, really not a few people dare to, especially in the grandpa are not on the time, that is, there is a man in the village, called Li Bold, people as the name is bold, that is, bold, then laughed at the time, the god statue of the old man are smashed, but also afraid of a tree? You do not cut, I come to cut, but first said, this tree I felled, the tree can belong to me.
At that time, grandpa also really want more than one thing is not as good as one thing, said into, that will be given to you, cut the tree, you want to do what you do what, Li Dare wife died early, the two sons is also a tiger, and the eldest son are married and have children, father and son three are bold and do not believe in evil people, think this is a good thing, so, other people do not dare to do the thing, he took the two sons, on the battlefield father and son, like the same two days! The tree to cut down, the first day there are people to see, the second day to see no one dares to go, because cutting down the tree, the tree outflow, but the blood.
Not only red, but also a smell of blood, Li bold two sons also a little timid, but Li bold do not believe in evil, insisted on cutting the tree, after the cut, everyone is actually afraid, afraid of Li bold family things, my grandfather also within three days of the day is not dark to turn off the lights to sleep do not dare to go out.
But after a week, Li bold family alive and well, and this week ah, Li bold father and son of three people will carpenter, froze that big cypress tree, made three big cypress coffins, rural people have nothing to fear of coffins, but envious of these three coffins really porcelain, in the city also for a dozen pounds of food stamps, can be envied by others to the death, when my grandfather that annoyed ah, my grandmother a good lesson. Look, said these are feudal superstitions, you want to believe?
But in a few days, Li bold family's daughter-in-law to the crazy like the morning naked from the home ran out of the shouting, said the family out of the matter out of the matter, are dead are dead, and so people ran to his home, everyone was scared out of their wits, Li bold family house on the beams of the house, three children above the rope hanging father and son of three people.
Each tongue stretched out a long long long, eyes convex to the outside, that look to be more horrible to have more horrible, not to say so many death, on the hanging of the most ugly people it? At that time to see this situation, the villagers were stunned, no one even dared to go to the three people's bodies from the beams to unload. Later, the burden must have been handed over to my grandfather, who made him the captain? At that time, my grandfather's legs wobbled and he was so scared that he didn't have a face. Later on, the village elders intervened and sold two coffins made of cypress wood, leaving one left, so we had no choice but to use poplar planks to make two coffins to bury this tragic death of a father and son.
A cypress tree made three coffins, just three people died, this is revenge is not? –The rumor mill was in full swing, and Grandpa was criticized by the leadership for killing the gossip in the cradle, and if it continues like this, he won't be able to do his job as a captain.
After burying these three people, that night, my grandmother tore at my grandfather's ear and said: "I'll let you train me, I'll let you train me, if you don't listen to me, it'll be the three of us who will die!" Grandpa didn't have much to say, but only felt a pang of fear.
At that time, the environment, there is gossip is very simple, grandpa also has a way, that is, Li Bold family of a few mouths, who said that they will be arrested as a cow ghosts, snakes and gods to criticize and fight, three or two down, no one dares to say, but this thing is over?
The next thing is my old man's thing, said earlier, his body is not very good, is the emperor body beggar life, can not work out of the door, when seven or eight years old, walking are not good. That is, in the Li bold family three oral seven times, the first seven back to the soul of the night, this time the whole village are sleeping early, early very early, that thing we can control the mouth not to say, but who all know is the cypress tree on the fairy killed Li bold three mouth.
That night, my old man cried for his life, crying out of the soul like, have been crying, and then simply rolled a white-eyed stare past, this can be my grandfather scared, the old Guo family can be so a single seedling, if this is no longer available? Immediately looked for the village barefoot doctor to come and pulse and acupuncture, but no use ah, the village barefoot doctor is an old Chinese medicine, then rolled my old man's eyes and said to my grandfather: "more Chen ah, to the baby to prepare for the aftermath of it."
My grandfather was so scared that he was about to kneel down, but the old Chinese medicine doctor had no choice, and then he said, "Why don't you carry him to the hospital in the city?
That night there was no moon, not even the stars, grandpa towards the direction of the city carrying my old man on foot, the road is old and familiar, but has been until dawn, grandpa so by memory has been walking, and then walked really tired, that era of people used to rush, and do not feel that dozens of miles of road have any difficulties, but this time grandpa felt that the road is really difficult to walk ah, and then really tired, just rest in place! Then really tired, rest in place, touched my old man, finally still breathing.
Until the daybreak, the village rooster crowed, grandpa turned around and saw the village behind him is very familiar, his mother this is not their own village? And then look at the three souls scared no seven, their position, but is Li Bold family of three new graves next to the graves are buried in the wheat, graves around the wheat seedlings were stepped on a circle, feelings this is the back of the child in the three graves before the turn of the night?
Grandpa was afraid, but carrying a child is always a little bit of courage, cursed a few words to the grave, pulled his legs and ran, ran back home in one breath, grandma naturally at home crying all night, see grandpa came back early in the morning, thought to run to the city carrying my old man's body back, scared all of a sudden wow cry out.
"Give me some food, cry what, the baby is not dead, I carried the baby to the city yesterday, fell into the Li Doudou mesmerized, their family of three seems to have a vendetta against me as if, let me in their graves to give a night to turn around!" Grandpa cursed, and then ate a couple of nests, carrying my old man once again to go, thinking that this time in broad daylight, it will always be okay.
But just walked to the door, the neighbor Guo Erwa home of the old yellow dog rushed out, the dog knows my grandfather, but this time with the crazy like rushed to my grandfather rushed over, my grandfather a dodge, directly bitten to the thigh, the dog force how much, froze and ripped off a piece of meat, then that called a blood flow like ah. Grandpa yelled: "Erwa Zi!"
No need to call, just heard the dog barking and grandpa screaming neighbors have rushed out, holding a wooden stick ah what directly began to greet that big yellow dog, directly just crazy beast beat only out of gas not in gas.
"More Chen brother, this thing, this dog I chained it, do not know how to bite off the rope, and it usually see you wagging tail, today this why crazy it?" Erwa is usually more afraid of my grandfather, coupled with the identity of my grandfather's captain, are about to cry in fear.
"Brother, you can't carry the baby to the hospital, I'll carry it on my back?" Erwa continued to try and say.
"Roll! All roll!!!" Grandpa but at this time suddenly angry, like crazy, all the people were driven out of the house, then, he leaned on his crutches to go to the gate child inserted, called up my grandmother, said: "child his mother, you go to the He Zhen person to me called over, no, is to invite over."
"What are you inviting He Zhenren for now? Don't you want to draw a clear line with the remnants of feudalism?" Grandma said.
"I tell you, I feel wa this suddenly uncomfortable, may be Li bold family three brothers of the ghost, yesterday I go out to let them give ghost wall, today go out to directly by a beast I am familiar with to bite, you still do not know how to do? The three of them are preventing me from going into the city, want to kill our children ah!"
Grandma heard, face all white, immediately ran to the cowshed, He Zhengen to cattle during the day, Grandma has been to find the back of the mountain to find him, found the situation, He Zhengen pinch a finger count, said: "You go back, your children are temporarily okay. During the daytime I go over to your home morechen is not good, night to say."
When the grandmother came back, told Grandpa He real words, and Grandpa a good lesson, said follow others smash idols, baby if not is his sin to create.
Grandpa has been smoking cigarettes and sighing, but the heart is pondering, his mother's he did not offend Li Bold, then cut the tree is also his own to cut, how to blackmail on their own? If you don't want to get some paper money, secretly go to the three of them to burn?
This is also called a big thing to make a small thing is not.
Grandpa's leg was injured, did not go out to work, spent a day at home, but also listen to my grandmother cried a day, wait until it was dark, He real people carried a bag over, my grandfather is naturally a supply of cigarettes and wine, He real people to my old man's pulse, turn the eyelids to look at, and shook his head, the grandmother pouted and knelt down, scolded: "My family even more Chen is not a thing, created the sins, what retribution to pay me into the world, I will not be able to do anything, but I have to do something. There is what retribution report me into, do not retribution to the baby ah."
He real people mixed up my grandmother said: "Your family patriotic body is not strong, this is the evil hit, do not be afraid, I first look at what the gods."
At that time, who dared not have incense burners at home, He real people from their own bags to take out a, lit three incense inserted, and bit through his middle finger, in my old man's brow, people in the middle of the point of two blood spots, said: "Not much matter, received my incense, I ask what happened, sent away."
Just as Real He turned around, Grandma pointed at the think stove and said, "Immortal He, the incense went out!"
He real people look back, face immediately changed, read: "should not ah, sister-in-law, you also do not worry, may be I this incense tide."
When He Zhenren replaced the three children, just inserted, this time, even these three children incense directly from the incense burner broke, over there, my old man, immediately began to convulse all over the body, pointing the two blood marks, have begun to smoke.
He Zhenren's face went white this time, saying, "Damn, the ghosts don't catch the incense, this thing is finished!"
