The years of reselling the haunted house

I smiled, what Pang Dahai said was reasonable.I also heard from Chu Liuyan that this kind of pig-killing knife is a deadly weapon, and I want to open my eyes.If he takes it with him, let him take it with him, be prepared, it may save lives when necessary.

I asked curiously again: "Then you quit being a pig butcher, why did you come out to work?"

Pang Dahai sighed: "I can't help it. Now there are designated slaughters. Although we are also in the countryside, the business is getting harder and harder. You can't make much money by slaughtering pigs. It's better to go out and venture out. Oh, I Say, what on earth do you do? How do you do real estate and there are dangers, what dangers are there?"

I waved my hand: "Don't ask so many questions. Anyway, just follow me. Let's get ready and leave for Hunan tomorrow."

"Success. You are loyal enough and a friend enough. I believe in you, and thank you for my mother. I heard that tall and thin man call you Li Yang. From then on, you will be my boss, and I will hang out with you."

"Don't talk nonsense, you still call me the boss when you are old." I scolded with a smile.

Fatty Dahai laughed: "Actually, I'm old, I'm young. Besides, the boss is an honorific name, and it has nothing to do with age."

As far as our age is concerned, this guy is really the same age as me, and two months younger than me.But looking at the appearance, I really can't believe it.

After finishing Pang Dahai, I feel a lot more relaxed.This guy has killed pigs, although he quit this job, he probably still has a lot of hostility left on his body, otherwise he wouldn't scare that brat away.With him by my side, it is equivalent to carrying a living amulet with me.

I took Pang Dahai back to the company.

Pang Dahai looked at the facade of my company, and walked into the company, clicking his tongue incessantly.

I looked back at him: "You are sick, why are you smacking your tongue?"

Pang Dahai looked around the company and asked me: "Brother, your company is not bad. You said that I work in your company now, am I also considered a white-collar worker? Much better than that dog captain?"

I smiled, this fat man is also a master who has never seen the world, the broken company of my third uncle and I can't be regarded as a white-collar worker.

I pack all kinds of things for travel in the company, still according to the old principle, the more the better.Especially this time without the company of my third uncle, I packed up everything I could think of and threw it into the car.I gave Pang Dahai 500 yuan and told him to go to the vegetable market to find a pork dealer and buy a butcher's knife from him at a high price.Although this knife may not be inherited from the ancestors, but the white knife enters and the red knife exits all day long, and it can be somewhat fierce.If Pang Dahai holds it, he will be prepared.

And I took the time to go to the bank and took out the Five Emperors Buddha Lamp from the safe.This was also what Chu Liuyan explained. Although he didn't know what it would be useful for, he took it with him as he wanted.

Pang Dahai went out all afternoon, and came back sweating profusely in the evening, and handed me a knife.

It was a sharp knife with a wooden handle. The wooden handle had been polished black and shiny by hand. The blade was cold and glowing blue. It looked sharp.

I asked him why he had been out for so long?Pang Haihai said: "I went to several vegetable markets, and the knives for selling meat there were not good. Those were butchers, and they were not real knives for killing pigs. Later, I went to the slaughterhouses in the surrounding towns and bought them. This knife."

"What's the point of this knife?"

"It's nothing special, just handy. I'm not bragging to you, brother, I'll know if this knife is good or not."

As he said that, Pang Haihai sniffed the knife under his nose: "This knife smells like blood, it has been fed with blood, it is a good knife."

I waved my hand: "All right, all right, just keep it handy. Wrap this knife in a cloth, and don't let anyone check that you carry controlled knives."

That night, I arranged for Pang Dahai to stay in third uncle's bed.Early the next morning, we were ready to go.

Before leaving, I felt something was wrong, so I called Xue Quangui again.This is what I thought, the fat man and I traveled hundreds of kilometers to that strange village, so we had to go directly to Mrs. Jin for help without a reason.What did you say when you went to see her and asked, where did you bury that dead child?

Since Xue Quangui and that Jin Po's hometown are in the same village, I might as well take advantage of Xue Quangui's relationship and settle down at his house first.

Xue Quangui and I explained what we meant. Xue Quangui knew that I was doing it for the house, so he hurriedly agreed, saying that his mother was gone and his father still lived in the village.I can say that his good friend went to the village to live in his hometown, and it happened that he was going to bring some things to his hometown.

Not much time, Xue Quangui drove to the company, loaded a few bottles of good wine, a few cigarettes, and a lot of nutritional supplements into my car.

Xue Quangui looked at me and said: "Brother, don't worry. I've already called my father and made an agreement. You can go and find him directly. Here is the detailed address. In addition, brother, don't talk to him about our affairs. I said, lest... lest..."

I took the address, nodded to explain, waved goodbye to him, and drove on the road with Pang Dahai.

Pang Dahai can drive, this time I don't even have to drive, I can sit in the co-pilot and enjoy myself, I can't help feeling how good it is to be rich.

Xue Quangui's hometown is Aojiazhai in Hunan, which is at the junction of northern and western Hunan.I checked the map and it was about 800 kilometers away.If we can take the high-speed all the way, we will take the high-speed. If we take turns driving, we should be able to get there in one day.

Thanks to me for changing this second-hand Honda, otherwise, that broken car would have to go for two days.

Along the way, except for a short rest in several service areas, we hardly stopped, and the car rushed to the town where Aojiazhai is located.

I thought I could arrive at Aojiazhai before dark, but when I walked from the town to Aojiazhai, I found that things were contrary to my wishes, the road conditions here were very bad.Coupled with the fact that we were not familiar with the route, we went back and forth several times, and when we arrived at Aojiazhai, it was already dark.

I complained endlessly, if I knew this, I should have stayed in the town and came back to the village the next day.But it's already arrived, so naturally I can't go back to the town.

Fat Dahai clutched his stomach and complained, "Brother, I'm hungry."

"Didn't I eat two pieces of bread for you at noon? Are you hungry so soon?"

Pang Dahai had a bitter face: "Brother, those two pieces of bread are not enough for me to fit between my teeth."

I waved my hand: "Okay, okay. Let's go to the village now, to Xue Quangui's father's house. We came from a long way, and he can't entertain us with good wine and food. Then you can eat your fill."

As I spoke, I drove the car and prepared to enter the village.

Before I came here, I did my homework and learned that most of the ethnic minorities in Hunan are concentrated in the western part of Hunan. However, although Aojiazhai is located in the western part of Hunan, it is not a place where ethnic minorities live together.But the people here are also accustomed to calling the village a stockade.

They slash-and-burn farming here, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and the villages also have distinct ethnic characteristics.

Chapter 178

It was already evening at this time, I parked the car at the entrance of the village, and was about to get off and ask Xue Quangui where his father lived?

We both got out of the car, but we didn't see anyone on the left or right.

Suddenly Pang Dahai pulled me, pointed to the front right and said, "Do you see someone under that tree?"

I heard the reputation and looked, in front of us on the right, outside the village, there was a big willow tree.

The willows are luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun, with a huge crown, like a big umbrella opened.

It's just that I watched for a while, but I didn't see the person Pang Hai mentioned.

I asked him suspiciously: "Who is there, are you blind?"

Pang Dahai scratched his head: "No, just now I clearly saw a person in red clothes. Why did he disappear in a blink of an eye?"

I couldn't help shivering, and I was wearing red again.Although the red dress looked joyful, but when I thought about it, ordinary people, especially those from farming families, would not wear red clothes on weekdays.Unless there is a happy event, the red picture will be hung for auspiciousness.

And red, for me, is a very sensitive word.In my opinion, on this big night, anyone who wears red for no reason is definitely not an ordinary person, and it will be more or less a little strange.Who in the ravine would wear a red dress to swagger through the streets?

I stood still, and said to Pang Dahai: "Your boy, you can spot it for me. We have just arrived in this village, so don't make trouble for nothing. If you don't go into the village, you can settle down first."

Pang Dahai glanced at me: "You don't look like an old man. If you can see it, don't you know if you go and have a look? I guess he must be hiding behind a tree."

After finishing speaking, Pang Dahai swaggered towards the willow tree.

Being robbed by this fat man for no reason, I held my breath, but there was nothing I could do, and hurriedly followed.

When I got under the willow tree, I really felt that this tree is not ordinary tall.And entering under the canopy, the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees in an instant, and a burst of coolness hit.

I looked up and found that there were many red cloth strips tied to the branches of this tree.Looking around, there are no less than a hundred of them densely packed. It is very enjoyable to look at, but it gives people an inexplicable sense of weirdness.

At this time, Pang Haihai had already circled the tree twice, with a dazed expression on his face.

I asked him: "Where are people? Are there any?"

Pang Haihai scolded: "It's really strange, I clearly saw a figure... It's not a person, could it be... a ghost?"

I slapped him: "If you don't talk about ghosts at night, you want to see ghosts that much?"

Although I now firmly believe in the theory of ghosts and gods.But in an unfamiliar environment, I still have lingering fears about the word ghost.After all, I am a fledgling, fighting against ghosts alone, and I have no experience at all.

"It's not a ghost, where did that person go?" Fat Dahai stared at the bull's eyes, puzzled.

"Don't talk." I stopped Pang Dahai's loud voice, and looked up at the willow tree by myself.

Although this willow tree grows very big, depending on its size, three or five people can hug it.But I know that willows do not have vines, but there are many vines as thick as a child's arm wrapped around the willow tree in front of me.These vines, wrapped around the tree, spiraled upwards, covering the entire body of the tree.

My heart skipped a beat, I don't remember whether I heard it from my third uncle or read it from a book.The vines from the tree are like the bones of a human being. With the bones, the tree will have aura. Of course, this refers to the kind of trees that have no vines.Looking at the willow tree in front of me, looking at the thickness and the vines all over it, it must have been hundreds of years old.Is this also a spirit tree?

I reached out and touched a red cloth strip hanging relatively low.

As a result, Pang Dahai shouted from the side: "Don't move."

I turned around in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"Brother, you don't understand this. This guy is hanging on, so you can't move around."

"Why don't I understand? Isn't this the cloth strip someone made a wish on this tree? I've seen it in many monasteries."

Fat Dahai chuckled: "I'm just saying you don't understand, right? On the trees in the monastery, you can hang red cloth strips to make a wish and ask the Buddha to bless you. But in this rural tree, you hang red cloth strips to worship the godmother. .”

"Waiting for Godmother? Fuck, do you understand all this?"

Pang Dahai said: "What's the matter? We do it all over there. Although I'm not from here, I guess the customs in this area are similar. On our side, if there is a tree over a hundred years old in the village, then But baby. When every family has a child, once there is a minor illness or disaster, the family will bring the child to worship the old tree, worship the tree as a godmother, and ask the old tree to bless the child to grow up healthily. At the same time A red cloth strip will be hung and the child’s birth date and name will be written on it, and it will be regarded as a marriage. In the future, this tree will bless the child and drive away disasters and solve difficulties.”

"And this, it sounds strange, but does it work?" I asked curiously.

Pang Dahai shook his head: "I don't have any children, I don't know. But my mother said that I also worshiped an old tree in our village when I was a child. Look how good I am now, so I think it works."

As he spoke, Pang Dahai clenched his fists and pounded his chest hard.

I reached out and touched the trunk of the big willow tree, and said, "But I've heard a saying that willows, mulberries, poplars, elms, and locust trees are not allowed to enter the house. There is also a saying that no mulberries are planted in the front, no willows are planted in the back, and ghosts are not planted in the courtyard." Clap your hands. This shows that the willow tree is a kind of shady tree, and hanging red cloth strips on this shady tree is yin on top of yin, which is not good for the mansion."

"What... what do you mean? What is ghost clapping?" Pang Dahai asked curiously.

I smiled: "Ghost clapping refers to the poplar. The leaves of the big-leaved poplar, when blown by the wind, make a crackling noise just like ghost clapping. And willow mulberry, poplar, elm and pagoda tree are five kinds of shade trees, so they are not suitable. Plant it at home."

Pang Dahai curled his lips: "I'm at the entrance of the village, and I don't have a home."

I nodded: "I just feel that this tree is weird. Okay, don't get too far away, let's go, go directly to the village to find someone."

I had just taken two steps with Pang Haihai, but suddenly there was a flash from the corner of my eye.

I looked up suspiciously, and found a red shadow flashing in the canopy.

At first I thought it was also a red cloth strip, but when I looked carefully, I found that the red thing was much larger than the cloth strip, and it seemed to be a red pocket.

The bag was hanging on a tree vine, and the heavy things in it were dangling on the tree vine.

The angle just now was blocked by the branches, so I took two steps away and saw the bag.

I lifted my head and peered under the bag.There seemed to be something special in that bag that was attracting my desire.

I wanted to turn around and leave, but I couldn't move.

My ears started to ring, and Pang Dahai seemed to be calling me, but I couldn't make out what he was calling.

Immediately afterwards, my neck tightened, as if something was entangled.

This feeling is like being entangled by that ghost baby with its umbilical cord in Shao Xiaoyao's house, gasping for breath, but it doesn't help.

Chapter 179 Simple and rough is more effective

My heart tightened, and my eyes moved back from the red bag on the tree.

I found a tree vine wrapped around my neck. The tree vine was not very thick, but it was as thick as a finger, and it was tightening tightly.

I began to struggle desperately, and my vision gradually blurred.

The vine got wrapped around my neck for some reason, and now I can basically tell that there must be something wrong with this old willow tree.

I tried my best to pull the vine around the neck, but it was like a mantis arm being used as a cart, and it didn't work at all.

I wanted to open my mouth to call for help, but found that as soon as I opened my mouth, the vines tightened a little more. I could only exhale, but couldn't inhale. The tongue stuck out so long that I couldn't speak normally.I kept opening my mouth to shout at Pang Dahai next to me, but I couldn't make any sound.

Pang Dahai was also very frightened, stared at me for a while, then suddenly turned and ran away.

"Damn it." I figured that I must look ugly, and I might look like a hanged ghost.But it's not enough to scare the fat man away, right?This performance was too unexpected for me, and it was too disrespectful.

I was so angry that I scolded the fat man several times in my heart, but it didn't help, I couldn't get rid of the entanglement of that tree vine at all.I even wondered if it might be that ghost baby who chased it here. This time, instead of the umbilical cord, I used tree vines.It seems that my method of death can basically be determined. Whether it is the umbilical cord or the vines, I will be strangled to death.

I couldn't keep up with my breath, my whole body lost strength, and my eyes kept turning black.

My heart was ashamed, this is the answer to the sentence, I died before I left the teacher, but my death was a bit miserable.

While I was enduring the pain, I was thinking wildly. At this time, my brain seemed to be out of my control.

At this time, the tree vine kept tightening, and strangled my neck, lifted my whole body, and my feet were suspended in the air.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Fatty's shout, and as the neck loosened, the vine wrapped around my neck broke and fell off.I also fell from midair to the ground.

I first took a few deep breaths while covering my neck, and I could feel it with my hands, and it was covered with strangle marks all over it.The imprint of the little ghost's umbilical cord strangulation last time had just faded away, and now a new wound has been filled.

"Boss, are you alright?"

I looked up and found that Pang Dahai was holding the butcher knife in his hand and was looking at me with concern.

I understood, it turned out that this guy didn't run away without morale, but went back to the car to get the knife.I can't help but feel ashamed of my own narrow heart.

I saw that the half of the vine strangling my neck had been taken back, and the other vines were still lingering on the tree, as if nothing had happened.If it wasn't for the half of the vines cut off by the fat sea on the ground, I would really think that what I just experienced was just an illusion.

I shook my head and said, "It's okay. What happened just now? How did that vine get around me?"

Pang Dahai said: "I don't know either. You kept looking up at the tree, and you didn't pay attention to what you were talking to. Later, for some reason, a vine hung down and wrapped around your neck. I pulled it hard. I slapped it twice, but it didn’t move, so I went to get the knife. This knife still works, and it’s done with one knife.”

I can only smile bitterly to myself, I wear dog teeth around my neck, and I still have a few talismans drawn by Chu Liuyan on my body, these things are not as straightforward as a pig-killing knife when it comes to critical moments.
