Chapter 30
"It can't be so evil, it's absurd, how can this person drink tea with that?" Grandma also felt that it sounded a little weird, she straightened up and looked at Grandpa.For a while, both of them were silent.

"How can it be impossible? Nothing has happened these years? If that place wasn't haunted, could it be that the houses that moved out before were full of food and left a good house..." Grandpa took a sip of tea to moisturize throat, looking at the light bulb above his head as if recalling something.

"Tell me, if there is really a ghost in that room, how can the old man still live to such an old age." Grandma was also a little puzzled.

"Who knows. There may be some special reason in it. I don't think that female ghost is harmful. By the way, do you remember that the old man didn't have a cat at home, or a black cat with green eyes?" Cat. As soon as I walked out of his house this morning, the black cat jumped out and scared me. The more I walked, the more I thought about it, and it became more and more wrong. When I raised a cat, it was a problem for him to support himself. There is still food left to raise a cat , Something went wrong, could it be that I didn't notice it before?"

"Black cat? Are you sure it's a black cat?" Grandma asked as if remembering something.

"Black cat, what's the matter? Is there any problem?" Could it be that the black cat has something to say.

"Have you ever heard that black cats are used to ward off evil spirits? They usually appear in places with strong evil spirits. The more unclean the place, the better it is to keep." Speaking of black cats, grandma felt that there might be something in it. problem.

"Could it be for the town house? In this way, I'm afraid the house is really not clean. Forget it, forget it, don't talk about it, I'd be scared. By the way, I told the old man that I will bring it back next time." A few masons went to help pick up the roof tiles of his house. I went to see them today and found that many of them were broken. As for the beams, one of the rafters was directly poked out of the wall, and it was still a little crooked. I took a few steel nails to fix it. It’s firm, don’t let the house collapse before the winter. You don’t know, his window paper is all torn, and he hasn’t been there for half a month. It feels like no one lives in the house. It’s probably an old man My body is not as cheerful as before, and I have no time to deal with these things."

"Okay, since you have agreed to it, let's take some free time to find some people to help. Don't talk about the haunted house. If you do, you may not know what others think, and who will be willing to help It's not easy for the old man to live at such an old age. It's been a few years. Be sure to remember, and don't talk nonsense about the cat. I'm afraid you will forget everything when you drink, and you will be stabbed out Already." Grandma's thinking is justified.

After that day, and after a while, there was nothing to do in the field, so Grandpa asked a few masons to go to the old man's house to help repair the house, and brought along the cotton shoes made by Grandma.It was grandma who was careful, remembering that she hadn't given cotton shoes to the old man for two years, and every time it was the clothes, she almost forgot the shoes this time.The soles of the shoes are made of layered soles stitched by themselves, which are wear-resistant and comfortable. The uppers are made of black corduroy and old cotton taken out of the children's old cotton jackets.

After experiencing what happened last time, Grandpa still felt a little guilty. Fortunately, there were many people going back this time, so he was able to strengthen his courage.When we arrived at the door of the old man's house, the door was still closed this time, and the old man came to open the door after knocking for a long time.People who looked at it knew that they were here to help with the house, so they hurriedly called everyone into the house for tea.The woman in white and the cat from last time were gone at this time, and the house was still cold and gloomy because it was more popular than before.

Things went particularly smoothly this time, and I told everyone what needs to be repaired, and it took an afternoon to get it almost done.The old man was also very happy, holding his grandfather's hand and thanking him again and again.Except that it was weird that an elderly bricklayer kept staring at the old man and not speaking during the work, nothing special happened.

After finishing their work, everyone refused the old man's request to stay for dinner, and they all prepared to go home.It's getting dark too, it's better to go back earlier.The old man didn't have anything to eat, so he didn't have the nerve to stay for dinner.After packing up and saying goodbye to the old man, grandpa and the others who came with him set foot on the way home.It was on the way that the old bricklayer who had been looking strange before said something that everyone couldn't believe: "Tell me something, don't be afraid. The old man doesn't seem to be human."

"What is not a human? What are you talking about?" The young mason probably thought he was swearing, so he replied angrily.Upon hearing this, Grandpa felt a little terrified when he thought of the female ghost and the black cat.

"When I was young, I learned spells from a wandering Taoist priest for several years. Of course, I was not very proficient in learning spells, but I could still feel some things. A smell. Don’t you think he’s a bit spooky? Also, I’ve never been to that room before, so I’m not sure if the Yindi is true, but this time I smelled a corpse as soon as I entered the room. The smell of rot, that is the smell of the cemetery. You may not be able to smell it. That's why I find it weird, and judging from his appearance, the old man should have died a few years ago, but he is still alive and well. Let me know I’m wondering, I shouldn’t.” He stopped to light a pipe while talking, as if he wanted to take a few puffs of cigarettes before leaving.Several other people, including grandpa, were also itch this time. Although they were still a little scared, the truth of the matter seemed more attractive.How about the elders, there is nothing to worry about if there are lonely ghosts here.

Thinking of the female ghost and the black cat before, Grandpa told the old mason all these in detail, trying to make him come up with more useful results.

When he heard the white shadow and black cat mentioned by his grandfather, the old mason seemed to have finally found evidence and started to talk again: "I don't know if you have heard of it? The cat should be a white tiger. It is born with extremely strong spiritual power, but it is not Yang Qi. It is Yin power. The cat is in charge of the underworld. There is a clear record of this saying. The black tiger he sat on was actually a black cat in its original form. It is said in the scriptures..." Xuanmao , to ward off evil spirits.Easy to place in the south.It is suitable for all children and grandchildren... "'Xuan Mao' is a black cat, which is used to ward off evil spirits. Generally, this kind of thing likes to appear in places with strong evil spirits. It can be seen that there is really a problem with the old man's land, otherwise he would not invite black cats to the town house to exorcise evil spirits .If a cat recognizes the owner, it can also become a spiritual pet with stronger spiritual power, but this requires the kitten to be separated from the mother cat three days after birth. No one is allowed to see it, only the owner is allowed to see it, and the owner will feed it alone. .Do not let the cat leave the house until it is half a year old, and lock it in the house. It is not allowed to go out if it eats, drinks or looses. It is too difficult to ask it to recognize the master and protect the master. It seems to be very deep. Fate and Taoism, you need some means, know how to sacrifice to it at a specific time, and it will be willing to follow you."

As he talked, the old mason remembered a story he had heard, "When I was young, I heard from my master that there used to be an old lady named Wang in their place. She lived for an unknown period of time. She had a cat at home. The owner’s cat. The old lady and the cat never go out, and all the things are delivered to the house by outsiders. Later, because the local tyrants wanted to rob her house, they forced her to come out of the house. She hugged the cat and cried loudly After a scene, the cat also cried. But she finally came out of the house with the cat in her arms. As soon as she went out, the cat kept screaming and died soon. Then the old lady begged the person next door to dig a hole outside the house. The cat was buried in the pit. The old lady built the soil herself. After the soil was covered, no one moved. The old lady was very white and fat, but she fell to ashes as soon as she died, which was quite scary. Later, some knowledgeable people said , the cat was in the house, black and white, so he didn't dare to enter the old lady's house to seduce the soul. But once out of the door, away from the eyes of the town, the cat couldn't be restrained. The cat could live for a long time Yes, but he tried his best to block the old lady for the last time."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt uneasy. Could it be that the old man was already dead?Could it be that the ghost in the room was suppressed by the black cat?No one dared to ask more about this matter, because no matter what the result was, it only showed one problem, that is, there was a very weird secret hidden in the old man.In this way, everyone didn't figure out the truth of the matter for a while, and no one dared to ask the old man about the specific situation in person until after the old man passed away.

The old man lived until he was 103 years old. He had been dead for a week when he was found, but his body was still not decomposed at all. It was discovered by a sister-in-law in the same village who went to deliver things.At that time, there was a black cat beside the old man, but it also died.In addition to the black cat, there were also white shadows coming and going all over the room, which almost scared the woman crazy.

The funeral was organized by the villagers together, and a Taoist priest was also invited.When the Taoist saw the old man's body and the house, he made the same speculation as the previous mason.The white shadows all over the room were witnessed by many people at that time.But in the end, regarding the mystery of the old man's body not decomposing, the Taoist said that it might be because of the low temperature in winter but the last trace of spiritual power of the black cat. What is the truth, and now everyone has not figured it out.It's just that the black cat guards the house, and the white shadow in the house agrees.

After the funeral, the old man's house was abandoned like this, and no one took care of it anymore. The hilltop really became a shadowy place that no living person dared to cross.

The old man died just like that, but the stories he left behind were recited by people in several surrounding villages for a long time.Anyone who has heard of this series of events will be amazed by the weirdness and magic of this series of events. Let’s talk about the white shadow in the house first. Although only a few people were lucky enough to witness the ghost haunting, everyone still 100% believes that the land is a bad feng shui of.

A few years later, the newly appointed village chief decided to demolish the abandoned house together with several collapsed houses around it, so that the place could bask in the sun and drive away evil spirits.It is said that if the yin is too heavy, more and more dirty things will be attracted to gather, and I am afraid that one day it will harm the villagers.

Rural people are all superstitious, so it's okay if there was no such statement before, but after the village chief's analysis, everyone felt that it really seemed to be the case.Could it be that that place will gather more and more lonely ghosts and become a forbidden place for the living?The idea of ​​gathering yin in the dead place spread in several nearby villages for a while.

"Everyone votes together. If you agree to the demolition, draw a check mark on the red paper. If you disagree, you can put a cross. If you have other opinions, you can report it to me privately. The reasons for the demolition have also been notified to all parties beforehand. The households have been settled, and now the democratic decision has officially begun.” The new village head is only 27 years old, and his name is Huang Jianguo.

The village head has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face. He is a very decisive and straightforward person.Regardless of his young age, he is the first high-achieving student in this village, but he came back from the teacher's college.He first taught at Goujiling Primary School for several years, and later became the new village head because of his high level of knowledge and culture. After taking office, he did a lot of good things, and the villagers still believed him.

He first introduced peanuts, sesame and other crops from other provinces, and later held special training courses to teach the villagers farming and planting techniques, so everyone believed what he said.This time, after a democratic resolution, the villagers finally decided to demolish the old man's house.The result came down, but who to dismantle has become a thorny issue.
