Chapter 12: Nie Yuan
Now that the matter is now, He Shichang knows that he can't hide it, so he has to tell the truth to He Weican: He Weican does have an aunt named Zeng, but she died of dysfunction 25 years ago.
There is a saying in rural areas: Once a woman dies when giving birth, she will turn into a miserable childbirth after death.
The tycoon must find a relative as her substitute to be reincarnated and must also let her die during childbirth. Therefore, He Ling's current situation is very dangerous.
What a guy, this turtle is like a turtle eating a turtle, and his relatives don’t recognize him. Li Taiyuan thought to himself.
While smearing the paste, Chen Zhixiang did not forget to call He Ling, and seriously warned her to close the doors and windows, waiting for news from He Weican and the others.
He Weican was dizzy when he heard what his parents said, and his mind was in chaos.
Recalling Aunt San’s frown and smile, he didn’t feel anything wrong at all. He clearly saw the shadow under Aunt San’s feet, and even the other party was still warm in his hand. How could she be a ghost?
Li Taiyuan patted the other person on the shoulder, thinking that he didn't even feel the ghostly aura of that woman. Could it be that this terrible ghost is different from ordinary ghosts?
"Dad, are you mistaken? The third aunt I saw was obviously a living person with flesh and blood..." He Weican swallowed and asked unwillingly.
He Shichang told the two: According to the rumors in the countryside, the miscarriage looks no different from ordinary people, and can even walk in the sun during the day, take a boat and take a car, ask for directions and have a meal.
It is said that the childbirth man carried a bamboo basket in his hand, covered with a piece of red cloth, and the inside was filled with a ball of red wool.
This red line is called "blood bait". When a mother gives birth, she just tied the red thread to the placenta of the mother to prevent the baby from being born. Then she pulls the red line to make the mother unbearable pain. After several troubles, the mother will die of pain.
One corpse and two lives.
Recalling the basket in the hand of Aunt San, He Weican's face turned pale. He slapped himself hard, and kept saying it all blamed him. He didn't think much about it and told the other party about his sister's address.
.
"Er girl, don't worry. You are obsessed with ghosts. She is destined to come back to settle the score with our family. Speaking of which, this is what our family owe her."
He Shichang wiped the corners of his eyes and choked and told the past twenty-five years ago.
The day He Weican was born was in the middle of July, and it happened that Shengquan Village held a special festival of reincarnation every twenty-five years - the Soul-Suppressing Festival.
For nearly a hundred years, nearby villages have adhered to the rules set by their ancestors: Whenever they encounter the soul-sacrificing festival in Shengquan Village, after 5 pm, all villagers must lock their doors and windows and not leave their homes until dawn the next day.
.
Chen Zhixiang's due date was more than half a month later. For some reason, at around 8 o'clock that night, she felt unbearable abdominal pain and showed signs of premature birth.
At that time, the countryside was limited, so I had to pull a ox cart when I went to the town on weekdays. Now, when I encountered such a special time for the Shengquan Village Festival, let alone entering the city, even the small clinic run by barefoot doctors in the village had already closed.
Seeing that his wife was in so much pain, He Shichang would not be able to hold on for the next day if he let him go. Because of his studies, He Shichang has always been extremely disgusted with the rules of the village and the superstitions of ghosts and gods.
After being anxious, he decided to go to Changli Village next door to find Mima Liu to deliver the baby after being reminded by his mother-in-law.
At that time, there were no street lights in the countryside. He Shichang went through an old iron flashlight from his home, hurriedly put on his coat and went out.
That night, the moon was particularly bright and there was a little abnormal red. But He Shichang was concerned about his wife's safety and did not take these visions into his heart.
Along the way, he left quickly with a flashlight. But the flashlight seemed to be running out of power, and it flickered as he walked, and the light dimmed. In order to save electricity, He Shichang simply turned off the flashlight and pinned it to the belt.
Up, with the bright moonlight, I walked out of the village as if I was flying.
At night, the mountains were filled with erratic fog, but it was surprisingly quiet.
At that time, there was not much road construction, and the road from Yuhe Village to the bottom of the mountain was full of narrow and curved paths. In addition, it was night, and most people would get lost if they were not careful. Fortunately, although He Shichang had just arrived in Yuhe Village, he had not had much time.
In 2019, but he is born with a good sense of direction and is quite familiar with the road conditions.
He was guarding against the nearby beasts all the way and rushed away on the rugged mountain roads, thinking that he was about four or five kilometers away from Changli Village.
As we walked, the moonlight suddenly sank. The mountain wind blew in the forest, making a loud and slow rustling sound.
The cold wind in the middle of the night was mixed with ancient instrumental melodies and women's singing, which seemed particularly ethereal in the quiet forest. Following the sound, He Shichang found that it was from Youmiao Mountain to the west.
At this moment, a large fire was lit up in the direction of the top of the mountain. He thought to himself that it was probably the Shengquan Village where the ceremony was held.
Regarding this mysterious village, I occasionally heard the old people here mention it. Shengquan Village is unified and regulated by the Bai family, and follows the matriarchal social clan system, and regards women as the most.
I remember that two or three months ago, the neighboring Xianci Village held a marriage with the other side. The groom was picked up in a sedan chair in the middle of the night. Since then, he has completely cut off contact with his family, and the bride has never even exposed her face.
Once. I heard that once I married into Shengquan Village, I would never be able to interact with my original relatives again.
Such a strange custom was rebellious at the time, and even if it is placed now, it is difficult to accept. But I don’t know what the village chief said to that family, or maybe the dowry given by the Bai family is generous enough, and the man’s family actually has any opinions.
No.
He Shichang was thinking when he suddenly found a dark cloud coming from the top of the mountain to the west, blocking the moon. The next second, the wind suddenly rose in the mountains and forests, and the sky and the earth were dark.
Large clusters of purple thunderstorms gradually accumulated, lightning appeared in the clouds, black clouds rolled in the sky, and the grass and trees around were swaying wildly. The strong wind swept over like thousands of troops, making He Shichang difficult and almost unable to stand firm.
You should know that there is a steep cliff next to the valley. If you continue moving forward, if you are not careful, you may fall off the cliff. Thinking of this, He Shichang struggled to penetrate into the forest and found a tree with a strong wind, and used his belt to fix himself.
On the tree.
He Shichang was holding the tree, and was blown by the strong wind mixed with flying sand and stones so that he could hardly open his eyes.
He squinted his eyes and found a huge vortex in the dark clouds above Youmiao Mountain. With a muffled sound, the purple clouds in the sky became deeper and deeper, and the valley trembled like an earthquake. The dark clouds in the west gathered together, comparable to those in the same way.
Raging waves.
He Shichang gasped and widened his eyes in disbelief.
He saw that in the deepest part of the sky, deep in the dark clouds like a dark abyss, there was a huge and thick strange object moving slowly.
Its movements were very slow, very slow, like a black fish swimming underwater. The surface of the thing was shaking slightly, as if it was about to crack, and its whole body exuded a terrifying aura that made people dare not look directly at.
As the thing moved, under the vortex of dark clouds gathering, countless dark figures suddenly appeared in the sky above the surrounding mountains and forests.
The figure let out a shrill and sharp howl, gradually forming a huge black fog miasma like a majestic mountain range, drifting to the top of the faint mountain.
What is that?
The scene in front of him had exceeded He Shichang's perception. For a moment, he felt his mind was blank and he lost his ability to think.
With a purple lightning bolt on it, He Shichang clearly saw the thing behind the dark clouds cracking a huge gap. Behind the crack was a huge blood-red vertical pupil, emitting a strange and evil light, as if there were countless hidden inside.
