Chapter 42 The Underworld Pig Face (2)

I thought the doctor was going to get up and turn on the water, but it turned out that in the middle of the night, what were you going to do in such a sneaky way?As soon as I asked, he lowered his voice and said, "Why are you asking so much, go to your toilet."

I said: "I'm on the trumpet, I can solve it anywhere, don't interrupt, be sneaky, hiss... I see, do you want to steal the old blood?" The more I think about it, the more it is, the doctor He has a lot of obsession with the old blood jerky, and he made up his mind before that he will come to Qinling again in the future and go to Huangquan Village to get samples of the old blood jerky.

Now that we haven't left the Qinling Mountains, and people are in Huangquan Village, it is the best opportunity to get Laoxuegu, no wonder this kid got up in the middle of the night to be a thief, it turned out that he had such an idea.

I thought my guess was absolutely certain, but the doctor said: "No, the old blood can be taken tomorrow, but this matter has to be done tonight." My curiosity was completely stimulated, and I said: "If you have something to say Said, if you keep chattering, believe it or not, I will call someone."

The doctor choked, and could only say: "I passed by that big plum tree during the day, and I found something amiss, and I plan to check it out. If you want to come, come, if you don't come, don't make trouble."

something wrong?

I suddenly thought of the doctor's hesitant expression during the day, and I thought to myself, no wonder he was weird at that time, is it because of this reason?While talking, the doctor ignored me, and went there in the dark under the moonlight, so I had to follow quickly.

The people in this place are so poor that they don't even want to keep a watchdog. In other rural areas, if someone sneaks around in the middle of the night, they'll be barking in fright.

But there are no dogs here, so it is quite quiet along the way.

When we got to the vacant area, the doctor lit up the lighter. With the faint light of the lighter, we searched all the way to the plum tree.The doctor confirmed that he had found the right place, and then continued walking along the plum tree, and walked into the vacant group of houses that were completely uninhabited.

The houses in this area are already quite dilapidated. They are all civil structures, big and small, high and low. From the appearance, one can see the owner's family status at a glance.

After I walked in, I also felt that something was wrong: "Jin Le, this place is obviously poor, but look, the abandoned houses here and the houses inhabited by people over there don't seem to be the same. Two places?"

Where people live, the poor four walls are ventilated, but separated by a big plum tree. Although the houses here are also in disrepair, the overall structure is still preserved. It is obviously much taller, and many of them are The courtyards with several entrances and exits are like a village, neatly divided into areas for the poor and areas for the rich.

The doctor said: "There are two families with the surname Wei and Jiang in this village. It is estimated that this place should be the place where the family surnamed Jiang lives."

I said: "The people from Jiang's family are obviously the best. Because they are good, they left this poor mountain valley early. Thinking about it this way, it makes sense."

The doctor did not answer, but stopped and said.

At this moment, we are stopping at the gate of a mansion.

To say it is a mansion is actually only a relative term.

This house is also a civil structure, there are already many cracks on the wall, the wooden gate has become decayed, and only a door frame remains.

"What you said during the day is wrong, is this here?"

The doctor nodded, then pointed to the door of the house, and held up a lighter to show me.

I immediately looked up, and was startled, and suddenly saw an extremely ferocious strange face, hiding on the top of the room, as if it would jump down and bite someone at any time.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a stone-carved animal face, one hanging on the left and right sides of the house.

"What is this thing? It looks weird and scary."

The doctor said: "It's commonly known as 'the pig that keeps money'."

I said, "How does this thing look like a pig? Pigs are much prettier than it."

The doctor said: "I have a friend who studies folklore, so I know a little bit about it. 'Fortune pigs' were more common in places like treasuries in the past. If there are thieves approaching, they will be entangled by the pigs for keeping money." In fact, it is difficult to spend the stolen money, every penny spent will cause a 'pig face sore' on the body, if you spend too much, the whole body will be full of rotten sores, unless the money is returned, it will be difficult to heal."

As soon as I heard it, I found it funny, and said, "Is there something so evil?" The Snake Grass before was so fascinating that people lost their minds, and my world view almost collapsed. After waking up, the world view finally recovered. Such superstitious talk makes people feel more and more unbelievable.

Hearing this, the doctor said, "How do I know? Anyway, that's what I said. It is said that this thing can't be carved out casually. You have to ask someone to open the eyes. Opening the eyes will have the effect. Look..." While talking, he As he walked up the front steps, he stood a little higher, the lighter in his hand was closer to the top of the door, and the pig face could be seen more clearly.

Sure enough, I saw a pair of eyes dotted with red sand on the dark, weird-looking pig's face. Looking at it in the dark, it seemed that there were a pair of red eyes staring at us, not to mention how intrusive it was.

Because of the high lintel of this place, when the doctor passed by during the day, he saw that there were pig noodles here, so he felt that something was wrong, because it took a lot of work to get real pig noodles, and unless there were some valuables and wealth, otherwise the poor mountains and remote , there is really no need.

Strangely, it was decided to visit at night.

While speaking, the doctor had already walked into the gate first.

The gate was extremely dark, and I didn't know where it was. Once the doctor entered, he only left me with a yellow and dim figure, as if he would be swallowed by the surrounding darkness at any time.

I don’t know if I’m scaring myself, but I vaguely feel that there is something wrong with the atmosphere of this place, in a daze, as if there are indeed two eyes staring at us.

This feeling made me feel hairy, I didn't dare to stand outside alone, facing the two pig faces, I immediately entered the gate and followed the doctor, with a little light source, I felt more at ease.

Behind this gate is a narrow yard, and there are three low houses next to it, which are like a stove house. The house facing it is much taller, and the door is almost rotten. The situation was astonishing.

Although the inside is full of cobwebs and dusty, but the furniture and decorations are complete, I don't know how many times better than Wei Laolai's house, but it has been neglected for too long, and most of them are old. There is a damp and rotten smell.

I said: "The rich man." The doctor did not speak, lit a lighter and continued to search other rooms, including the living room, bedroom, backyard, etc., and finally found a place similar to a warehouse, except that it was full of empty.

I don’t know if I don’t see it. I was shocked when I saw it. The original owner of this house is really a wealthy family. There is an old bed in the bedroom. It is obviously not a modern style. It is probably handed down from the Qing Dynasty. The text is complicated, even if it is covered with dust, it makes people deeply feel an ancient sense of wealth and honor.
