h people are easily able to blend in with the general population.But her heart was much more wicked than an ordinary person's. She wasn't necessarily harming heaven and earth, but she was definitely h...The dog barked furiously, causing the surrounding villagers to curse.
"Your dog is going crazy! Is it rabid"
"It's so annoying, they keep shouting all day long!"
"There are no thieves even in broad daylight! What's the point!"
"Just kill me!"
A gaunt man hurried out of the courtyard, apologizing before returning inside to scold the large black dog.
"Dah Hei, stop calling! If you call again, I'll really kill you!" He roared angrily.
The black dog whimpered twice, its voice full of distress, then suddenly barked fiercely, as if desperately warning its owner of danger.
My brother patted the door and said, "Uncle, can I make your dog stop barking Do you believe me"
The man glared at my brother, then saw Xi Lingzhou behind him with a scowling face, and hurriedly scrambled aside.
Xi Linzhou was reluctant to go in. She was afraid of the evil spirits in the courtyard. My brother went in for a stroll and then came back to say, "Xiao Qiao, there's something indeed in the southwest corner inside. We're definitely going to stay here tonight. That thing should appear at night. The evil energy is very heavy. Do you want to come down and take a look There's a nice stand in the courtyard."
I laughed and said, "When I went out with you before, when have I ever been afraid of the heat I'm not that delicate!"
"That's what they say, but the sun was scorching my scalp. I sweated profusely. The old lady said that after giving birth, the body gradually loses fluids, so even with air conditioning, I sweat a lot these days."
That gaunt man was Xi Lingzhou's biological father. Xi Lingzhou didn't even look at him, just stood at the door and refused to enter the courtyard. He awkwardly tried to persuade him many times, saying that standing at the door would make it awkward for the neighbors to see.
"When selling your child, how do you not fear people talking behind your back What are you afraid of now Retribution will come sooner or later, and then you'll have to cry slowly." Xi Lingzhou sneered, as if facing a complete stranger.
The man was a little afraid of her and didn't dare to say much. He turned back to ask us, "Are you friends with Er Ya"
"Hey, what's up" I glanced at Xi Lingzhou. She snorted and turned her head away.
This look is so much like a delinquent girl... Wearing denim shorts, a crop top, a metal necklace, red short hair, and a string of ear piercings... This look is actually a witch
I can only say that society has made progress.
My brother passed me a soft Chinese pastry, and we sat on bamboo benches under the flower stand chatting.
This old man's surname is Liu. He was originally very poor. His wife gave birth to two daughters, and the second daughter was Xi Linzhou. At that time, they couldn't afford to raise their children, so someone suggested selling the younger daughter so she could have a better life at least having enough to eat.
Having no other choice, he had to sell Xi Lingzhou. When doing so, he secretly made a plan: he would work hard and earn money to buy her back someday.
With the money from selling his daughter, he began to work hard in a small town, starting a small business from morning till night. He earned some money and built this small courtyard here, finally having a place to call home. At this time, he wanted to buy Xi Linzhou back, but she had already left with Old Madam Ma.
Since moving here, everything has been going smoothly at home. The eldest daughter got married early, and since they didn't have any children, they continued to have more, resulting in three daughters being born. He felt that God wouldn't give him a son, so he dismissed the idea of having his wife give birth again. He also contacted Xi Linzhou again, planning to take this sold daughter back home as well.
As his daughters grew older, he planned to renovate and expand their house. During construction, a skull of an animal was unearthed from the ground. The workers said it was an ominous sign and refused to continue working. He was frightened and decided to ask Xi Lingzhou to come back and handle the situation.
Who knows, Xi Linzhou didn't even enter the courtyard and ran away. This time was the same, standing outside the courtyard and unwilling to go home.
"She hates us, and we feel ashamed to see her... I think retribution is normal, but the children at home are innocent. I've been terrified these past few days, I tied all three kids up with ropes before I dared to sleep!" He wiped away a tear.
"Why tie it up with a rope" I asked, puzzled.
His face was full of terror, and he spoke in a hushed voice: “At first, I saw San’er running into the yard in the middle of the night to dig! I yelled at her, and she fainted! The old people in the village said she was bewitched by something!”
Later, the four little ones woke up again in the middle of the night. My big black dog bit one of them... I started to get scared, my youngest daughter is only four years old! I'm afraid that next time it will be her.
He paused and whispered, "Some people in the village say this is my second daughter seeking revenge on us. I was thinking of calling her over to see for herself and apologize to her..."
A witch is indeed a love-hate relationship. When you need help, you hope they can save you; when you offend them, you fear their revenge.
I glanced back at Xi Linzhou crouched outside the door. Could this be her revenge
In the center of the living room, on the table, sat a black box. My brother asked, "Is that what you dug up Can I have a look"
"Able to, able to! You're a master, of course you can see..." Uncle Liu hurriedly led us to the front of the main hall.
A plastic, round mirror commonly found in the village was hanging on the front door... Did this family expect that just by hanging up a random mirror they could ward off evil It's highly unlikely to be effective.
My brother entered with a copper token in hand, humming, "We've seen plenty of scary things... huh What is this thing"
He opened the box and glanced inside, beckoning me over to have a look.
Inside is the skull of an animal. Its head shape is long and pointed, with two curved large horns. The skull is not white but a deep brown.
"... a ram's horn." I looked up at my brother.
My brother patted my head: "Right, the Pan Yangjiao, Uncle Liu, did any of your ancestors believe in Buddhism Tibetan Buddhism."
This thing is very common in the Tibetan areas, Tibetans often hang it above their doorways. Some have scriptures carved on them, and it is said to be used to express gratitude to cattle and sheep that contribute to the family.
Uncle Liu was completely baffled: "My family has been poor for three generations, we can barely even afford to eat, so how could we believe in Buddha If I were truly a human-headed sheep, I would have been boiled and eaten long ago!"
Pffft...
Looking at the color of this lamb's head, I'm certain it's blood. Blood dropped onto something pure white will turn this deep brown after a while.
Don't ask me why I know.
My brother closed the box and said to Uncle Liu, “Tonight, don’t tie up your daughter. We’ll drive the car in and park it in your yard. Let’s see what is haunting us.”
I walked to the gate and asked Xi Lingzhou, "Is there just a sheep's skull inside You want this thing for 100,000 yuan What is your purpose"
Xi Linzhou glanced at me: "I only need to glance at this black box to know that it's important to me, so I'm willing to spend the money. It's not as complicated as you think."
As twilight descended, Uncle Liu hurried his three daughters back to their room for bed. After the courtyard lights were extinguished, a gust of eerie wind arose immediately in the southwest corner.
"He's here." My brother was a little excited.
The big black dog in the courtyard barked again...could utter a "soft word" with such detachment, coldness, and aloofnessMy brother kept winking at me. I couldn't see his eyes in the darkness, but I understood what he meant.Don't get distracted, okay...
