His milk name is Stone, he was originally a bare hand that slaughtered pigs and cattle, he had thick eyebrows and rat eyes, five big and three thick, and was born with a long horn on his head and a long thorn on his body, which made pigs, cattle, and sheep stop looking.
It was the early seventies of the "broken four olds". That day happened to be the Qingming Festival, and Shi and a few companions were arranged to demolish a Zhao Di Ge Temple in the middle of the mountain, what is called the Zhao Di Ge Temple, which means that whoever wants to have a son can make people get their wish as long as they let the pregnant belly woman touch the little chicken of Zhao Di Brother. Therefore, in that era when "family planning" was talked about every day, this temple obviously contradicted the social situation and had to be demolished. At first, none of them dared to do it first, it was the stone that was usually fierce and evil, and in front of the bodhisattva, they were also frightened and sweaty, and their pees were flowing. No one wants to offend the bodhisattvas who have been enshrined in this temple for hundreds of years, but since they have been arranged to come, they can't help but do it, and how can they get the work of the production team without working? So everyone smoked the last cigarette, waited until the sun was about to set in the afternoon, and then they climbed up to the roof, opened a stack of tiles, and then began to dig the wall with a hoe, and the pieces of flying mud smashed a realistically shaped mud bodhisattva (Guanyinzi) on the table, especially the male chicken was smashed in two by a tile, rolling sadly in the middle of the road, as if telling people about the unfairness of their hearts.
A gust of night wind blew from the valley, and they all shivered. Suddenly the stone screamed, and it turned out that a centipede more than ten centimeters long had emerged from the earthen wall and almost bit his foot, he took a few steps back, and he had not yet hidden his heels, and then he saw that two things wearing white shirts on the side of the field ditch at the foot of the mountain were missing. He almost fell off the wall more than three meters high, but fortunately he was helped home by the other two people.
At night, Stone fell ill, and he said that he had seen the white ghost on the edge of the ditch with his own eyes. In the following days, the fever did not go away, and how to inject and take medicine did not work. As soon as his eyes were closed, he was full of nonsense, and often exclaimed in his dreams, "White ghost... White Ghost. "It creeps his family.
At that time, the countryside, especially the mountainous areas, were relatively feudal and backward, and a witch made rumors to confuse the people: "When a stone encounters a white ghost, it is necessary to drive away ghosts, catch ghosts, and send ghosts to save him." The news reached stone's mother, and she felt that she had to try it, so she paid for a witch dressed in flowers to come to stone to catch ghosts. In fact, witch hunting is very simple, every time when the night is quiet, she will take a handful of burning incense and mirrors, turn around the stone, and read words in her mouth. After that, she asked Shi Shi's mother to pinch some rice balls and send them to the three forks of the village, and burned incense, candles, and torches. This was the legend in the countryside at that time, "sending ghosts." ”
However, in the blink of an eye, five days have passed, and the illness of the big stone is still the same, and the original figure of the five big and three thick is now as thin as a straw, and at this time, he is a goose feather floating from a distance, which will also crush his people. Stone's family is even more anxious like ants on a hot pot. At that time, another rumor was made to confuse the people: "If the stone demolition of the temple offends the bodhisattva, you should first apologize to the bodhisattva, otherwise, your life will be in danger." Some people also said: "That day was the Qingming Festival, and the stone must have been fascinated by the Qingming ghost." For a time, rumors hung over the mountain village.
That day, my brother and I were on our way out of school in a white shirt, and my mother, who happened to run into Stone, led him out in the sun with a sick man, and when Stone touched us, he exclaimed, "White ghost... White Ghost... White Ghost. "I immediately fainted, which frightened my brother and I, who were overwhelmed and confused.
When I got home, I told my mother what had just happened and asked her what was wrong with the stone. My mother told us both about the Qingming Festival a few days ago, how the stone saw two white ghosts when they demolished the temple in the middle of the mountain, and then they got a strange disease of hot and cold, full of nonsense. We all laughed when we heard it, and after laughing, I said to my mother, "What Stone saw that day was not a ghost, that day the two brothers went to the ditch to catch ducks, deliberately put out the long sleeves of white shirts, and pretended to be ghosts to play games to make fun of each other." I remember very well that the stone only saw a ghost action we did and then we slipped away. And because he didn't see the two of us clearly, he thought it was a white ghost. After listening to my words, my mother put down her face and scolded our two brothers fiercely for a while, saying: "People are scary and scared to death, there is no medicine, you know?" I said indignantly, "I didn't scare him, don't we even have the right to play games?" He was simply scaring himself. ”
In the evening, my mother took us to the stone house to apologize. He personally took the two of us to the stone, and repeatedly explained that what he saw that day was not a white ghost, (pointing to the two of us) but these two troublemakers were there pretending to be ghosts and playing tricks. After that, we cut off our nails and gave him sencha to drink. It is really strange to say that after drinking our nail tea that night, Stone slept peacefully, did not burn, did not make trouble, and the next morning he would get up and cook noodles to eat.
Stone's mother remembered that the witch said that Stone encountered a ghost and needed to send a ghost, purely to cheat money, spent a lot of her money not to say, and almost wanted her son's life. So she decided to settle the account with her. However, when she came to her house in a huff, the witch who had done something wrong had already gone to the empty building...
