Evil Town Doubtful Cloud (Folk Tale)

Five years ago, I graduated from normal school and was assigned to teach at Yushui Middle School, a township middle school in our city. Yushui Town is the largest township in the county, located on the road that must be crossed by north-south traffic, the economy is relatively developed, and it is a thousand-year-old town, and there are still ancient walls in the Warring States period.

When I arrived at the school, I was warmly welcomed by teachers and students. The school gave me a separate room as a dormitory. The students' foundation is poor, but they are very hardworking, and the most diligent of them is YouRong, who is my class representative, who studies very hard, and is also very beautiful and well-behaved. I liked her very much and often gave her make-up lessons.

I usually don't have classes on Friday afternoons, and after class at 10:30 a.m., I go back to the county town to reunite with my family.

I remember one Friday morning after class, the sky began to drift light rain, I cut a short way to the station. This path I once walked once will be there soon. But the strange thing is that this time I can't get to the head. I turned around and couldn't get out for more than two hours. I wanted to ask someone, but I found that there were only a few lonely houses around, and a few graves, walking around in circles. When I was almost exhausted, the rain stopped and the sun came out. I also walked out in a daze. When I walked out, I looked back, and it turned out that I had been circling the grave pile just now!

When I came back on Sunday, I asked a colleague to come back with me, still walking down the path, and soon returned to school. After returning to school, I told my colleague about it, and his face changed slightly, and he wanted to stop talking. I hurried to ask, and he said, "This is normal, the rain used to be called an evil land, because the terrain is complicated." You are not familiar with this place, it is normal to get lost, and you can walk alone in the future. "At that time, I was calm and didn't think about it anymore.

I will never forget that Tuesday morning, the bad news of Yu Rong's murder, because the night before she was still in my dormitory, she came home a little late, I asked her to stay, she said her parents would be in a hurry, I did not keep. On the way, she meets the bad guys and is killed after being ruined. The person who saw her body said that her eyes were wide open and showing a look of fear, and there was a reference book I had lent her.

When his father, Yufford, heard the news, his already gray hair was completely white overnight. When he came to the school to get Yu Rong's relic, I saw him. I wanted to comfort him, but seeing that his expression was so calm that he didn't say a word, I didn't know what to say. Yu Rong's death had something to do with me, and if I hadn't given her a make-up lesson, or if I had left her behind, it wouldn't have happened. My heart was full of guilt. Although her parents did not hold the school and me accountable, and the teachers and students did not say anything about me, I always felt that their eyes on me were a little different.

I couldn't stand their eyes and decided to move out. There is a family in front of the school, a small two-story building, three generations of the same house, they also have a dog, the dog saw me is still quite polite. We're all surnamed Qu, which makes us all very happy. They said that the house was empty anyway, and it was better to live in. I wanted to give money, but they insisted on not, saying that I could give his grandson english as long as I had time, and I promised to come down. I found a house on the second floor, it was quite spacious, and after a little cleaning, I moved in.

Now I only go to school when I have dinner, and when I finish class, I go back to my "home", prepare lessons in the house, and grade my homework. The people in their family are very kind, Grandpa rarely talks, and Grandma grows some fruits and vegetables in the yard. The son opened a rental, the daughter-in-law opened a clothing store in the town, and the grandson Xiaoming was also very well-behaved. The life of this family is very moist and rich. Whenever I make something delicious at home, bring it to me.

The case of Yu Rong's murder was soon solved, and the murderer was the son of a nearby Zhang butcher. Zhang Butcher has long stopped killing pigs, and his family has built five floors, but his only son does not learn well, steals chickens and dogs, and causes trouble. I heard that Zhang Butcher and Yufu were still brothers in arms, and this kind of thing actually happened!

My mood had just calmed down, but the good times were short-lived, and soon something happened again: two students at the school sneaked out and ran to a nearby pool to swim, and both drowned. Parents of the students went to the school to make trouble, and the principal was dismissed.

Wave after wave, wave after wave. Soon, a woman hit a tree on a bicycle and was killed; a son of a hacked his own parents to death; half a month later, two trucks killed one person alive...

The townspeople began to panic, and even spread rumors: rain was originally an evil place, a princess died here, and now the princess began to recruit people to serve her. Arrest people every half a month. I scoffed at that statement, but I did the date, and it was about half a month apart.

When I went back from self-study this day, I heard scolding and crying from the room of the owner's son and daughter-in-law. I rushed in, and as soon as I entered the door, I smelled a pungent smell of wine. Only to see his son and daughter-in-law mingling together, and grandson Xiaoming crying on the side. I rushed up to pull them, and Xiaoming reacted and helped me pull his father away. But they broke free and became entangled. Fortunately, at this time, the two old men returned and pulled them apart. It turned out that his son Xiaoqu drank too much to play cards and lost, and then came back to beat his wife. It was not advisable to ask more about other people's housework, so I hurried upstairs to sleep.

For the next few days, I heard the sound of scolding from their house every day, and once my daughter-in-law hid in the toilet and drank pesticides, and I happened to see it before I survived. In these days, Grandma Qu's words were also less, and Grandpa Qu was even more silent, and sometimes I felt as if he was secretly observing me.

On this day, as soon as I entered the house, Grandpa Qu asked me to go to his house. I was weird, but I followed up anyway. He took a shoe box from under the bed, and then took a lump of cloth from the shoe box, opened the cloth, and saw that inside was a red bracelet. He took the bracelet and asked me, "You know what's happened in town lately, don't you?" "I know." "I don't know if it has anything to do with this bracelet." He looked at me, saw my doubtful face, and sighed and said, "Tell you a story, this story is something I personally experienced..."

One day ten years ago, Boss You and Zhang Butcher came to Grandpa Qu's house. It turned out that the two of them had found a cave in a nearby waterhole, and they believed that there was some treasure hidden in it. They need Grandpa Qu's help, because Grandpa Qu's water is one of the best in town. Grandpa Qu couldn't stand their soft and hard bubbles, plus the family was also very difficult at that time, so he went with them.

At night, they quietly dived into the water, along the embankment, about six or seven meters under the water, found the slowest part of the water, and touched a boulder covered with moss. Together, the three pushed the stone away, revealing a cave inside. The three men turned on the flashlight that had been wrapped in oil-paper cloth and found that inside was a step diagonally to the right. They walked down the steps, the water getting less and less, the rock walls becoming dry, and finally the three of them reached a stone house. In the middle of the stone house is a coffin, surrounded by several piles of white bones. They opened the lid of the coffin and saw a female corpse lying inside. The woman's hair was still intact, her body had dried, and her clothes turned to ashes when touched. There are many jewels next to the corpse. Boss You and Zhang Butcher went up to grab it, and Grandpa Qu was afraid of the female corpse and white bones, so he did not dare to come forward. Zhang Butcher, fearing that he would tell him, forced a bracelet taken from the female corpse's wrist into him.

After returning, Boss You and Zhang Butcher secretly sold their things and soon became rich. Grandpa Qu did not dare to take out the bracelet and buried it in the courtyard.

Who knows, three months ago, when Grandma Qu was digging the vegetable field, the bracelet was actually shaved out by the dog. Grandma Qu showed it to Grandpa Qu, and Grandpa Qu said that it was a fake, and Grandma Qu let him throw it away without much thought. Grandpa saw that ten years had passed, and nothing had happened, so he did not bury it anymore and put it away himself. It's just that I often sneak out to watch it alone. Curiously, he found that the bracelet would change color, slowly turn red, and when it was so red that it seemed to drip blood, it suddenly faded, and then slowly turned red, and so on.

At first, Grandpa knew it was a treasure, but when he heard someone say that people died in the town every half a month, he suddenly remembered that every half a month, the bracelet was red. So he noticed that when the bracelet was at its reddest, something always had to happen. He was shocked, very scared, and even more afraid that his family would find out this secret.

Now the bracelet was red again, and Grandpa Qu handed me the bracelet, only to see that it was red like blood.

"For two days, I had a premonition that something was going to happen to my son and daughter-in-law. I don't regret that I died, as soon as they had an accident, this home would be finished. The old man sighed, "I think you may have a relationship with our family." I'll tell you what happened, and maybe there will be salvation. After saying that he looked at me expectantly and desperately.

What am I going to do? Why didn't you learn fortune telling, gossip and ghost hunting at that time? What is the use of learning English? I had no clue but to look at the history of the town.

When I went to the prefectural cultural center and checked the county chronicle of the county, I found an ancient incident.

At the end of the Song Dynasty, the Jin attacked the Great Song. A princess of jinguo came to the county with her army and was accidentally killed by the ambushed scattered soldiers. The Jin then carried out a massacre in the county and buried the princess in the area, looting the gold and silver jewelry of the local rich to accompany the burial. They were originally scheduled to return to China to bury the princess after taking the Song Dynasty, but later the Jin Kingdom was defeated by the Mongols, and the relocation of the tomb could not be carried out.

I asked the curator about this, and he said that the descendants had not found the tomb of princess Jinguo, so this legend may not be true.

I asked the curator if he had any jewelry or an introduction, and he gave me a book with incomplete yellow pages, "Strange Talks on Spiritual Artifacts." This book was compiled by the Anonymous Clan of the Qing Dynasty. Above I found an article about the "Sorrow and Joy Bracelet", saying that this bracelet was made by a craftsman in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it will change color with time, and the color is like blood. If anyone gets it, if he does not let it see the light, he can bless the master. Otherwise, the bracelet will suck blood every half a month, which will also cause harm to the owner.

The "Sorrow and Joy Bracelet" has been sealed by the royal seal for generations, and the whereabouts of the Song Dynasty are unknown.

I don't know how the bracelet got into the hands of the princess, I think it will be like this: the Song Dynasty prepared a lot of rare treasures to ask for peace from Jin, will the sad and happy bracelet also be among them?

The next day, I got on the bus back to the rain, and an old man with a cloth bag stopped me in the middle of the way, but when I came up, I didn't have money to buy a ticket. The driver wanted to drive him down, and I thought he was a beggar, so I helped him pay for it. The old man thanked me and sat down next to me, looked at me, and asked me if I had a difficult problem, and I did not know how to answer.

The old man said, "We have a relationship, you take me." "I felt that the old man was not like an ordinary person, so I took him back to Grandpa Qu's house." Grandpa Qu is secretly weeping, and his son and daughter-in-law are still arguing. He didn't care, as if it had nothing to do with him. I was about to introduce the old man to Grandpa Qu, when the old man rushed to say, "I see that there will be a blood and light disaster in your house within a few days." As soon as Grandpa Qu heard this, he knelt down in front of the old man and prostrated his head: "Please sir help, I am willing to take my life to pay off the debt." ”

"Tell me the ins and outs."

Grandpa Qu told the story of the matter, and then gave the bracelet to the old man, and I told him what I saw in the cultural center. He groaned and said, "I don't know if it's okay, I can only try." You take me to the pool to have a look." ”

When we got to the edge of the pond, Grandpa Qu showed us where he had been in the water, and showed us how to walk in the water, and the location of the cemetery below was facing the path where I had lost, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Back at the edge of the pond, the old man took out the bracelet, whispered a few words into the air, took a charm from his cloth bag, burned the bracelet and circled it, and then handed the bracelet to Grandpa and asked him to throw it into the water. Grandpa's hand trembled and he threw the bracelet into the water. The bracelet floated on the surface of the water and slowly sank, the color of the water changed from clear to red, and it took a long time to slowly disperse.

We thanked the old man, and the old man said, "I can't save you." "Finished talking and left.

When we went back, the old man's son and daughter-in-law were no longer quarreling. The next day, they also came out arm in arm.

Who knew that half a month later, Grandpa Qu died.

A year later, I was transferred back to the county seat. This matter has been buried in the bottom of my heart, and I have never said it to anyone.

The other day, Rain's colleague called me and talked about some people and things in the past. He suddenly said, "You know what? An ancient tomb was found in a deep pool and stolen. I said, "I already knew that." Without waiting for him to ask, he hung up the phone.

The truth is out, and I can also disclose this secret, so I wrote this story, and readers can also read it as a fictional novel.
