Maybe it was because I waited too long, or maybe it was because I didn't sleep well last night, so I fell asleep without knowing how, until I was woken up by someone shaking me.
I opened my eyes, and what appeared in front of me was Wen Bao's skinny head. The yellow and thin hair instantly startled me, and I quickly turned over to avoid it until my head hit the wall before waking up.
Wen Bao stretched out another finger and gestured to me to silence the sound, then slowly floated out of the door, and came back after a while, patting his chest with his hands, with an expression of the rest of his life.
The drowsiness on my body finally dissipated. I had already noticed that Huang Xiaolong was gone. Seeing Wen Bao's performance, I understood that the actions just now had not attracted any attention, so I walked to the window and looked out through the gap.
Sure enough, the street lights outside had already been turned on, and all the villagers, including Huang Xiaolong, were on the pier, writhing and swaying. I guess this was the disgusting dance Huang Xiaolong was talking about.
I looked at it for a while, and apart from being awkward, I couldn't see anything wrong with this dance, so I turned my gaze away and prepared to ask Wen Bao something.
Just turning my head, I was almost taken aback again. Wen Bao was lying next to me watching the dance outside with relish. When I turned around, the tip of my nose almost touched his hair.
It was as if the tip of my nose had touched ice, and there was a faint smell of the sea. I hurriedly backed away, moving a bit more, and Wen Bao looked at me in bewilderment.
I just sat on the bed and waved to Wen Bao. Seeing Wen Bao approaching, I asked, "Are they worshiping Grandpa Hai?"
Wen Bao nodded, and said with a smile, "Did you see, they dance really ugly."
I nodded in agreement, but the timing was wrong, otherwise Huang Xiaolong would be able to cheat him for a few meals if I recorded it. Wait a minute, I didn’t mean to say this, I felt that the rhythm was taken away by Wen Bao, so I hurriedly pulled it back.
"When those villagers pushed you into the well, were they controlled by Grandpa Hai as they are now, or were they sober?"
Wen Bao tilted his head and thought for a long time, then shook his head honestly and said, "I don't know."
I thought for a while, then continued to ask: "Are there any strange places in the village besides Grandpa Hai?"
Wen Bao must be a fool. After thinking about it for a long time, I almost yawned before I said, "Isn't Xiuxiu Niang strange?"
Xiuxiuniang, I recalled it, and it seemed that I didn't recognize this person named Xiuxiuniang during the day, so I hurriedly asked for details.
Wen Bao said, "Xiu Xiuniang never takes a bath, and she always stays in the house. She doesn't worship Grandpa Hai, and no one pushes her into the well."
I nodded, and I can pay attention to this Xiuxiu Niang for the time being, but how do you know that a woman never takes a bath? I looked at Jin Bao with malicious intentions, but Jin Bao didn't care at all. opened the mouth.
"The old house is also very strange. I always feel very scared there and dare not go there. And once I saw someone inside. He is really brave." Jin Bao showed a look of admiration.
I asked about the old house, and only then did I know where Wen Bao was talking about. I have seen that old house too, it looks like it has been around for a while, and I planned to take pictures with Huang Xiaolong, but I really can't go up, the whole house is on a cliff.
I also asked Jiang Ada at that time. According to Jiang Ada, it was dug into a cliff when the road was built later, very similar to those nail houses encountered during road construction, because Jiang Ada said that the house had been abandoned So I didn't care about it at the time, and now it seems that there is also a very likely place where the Nanyang warlock is hiding.
Wen Bao didn't think of any other weird things. I sent this information to Wu Jian by text message, and at the same time, I brought the topic back to Grandpa Hai.
And according to Wen Bao, Grandpa Hai appeared when he was very young, but definitely not always, because he still has a vague memory. Although he doesn’t remember how long it was, Grandpa Hai only appeared decades ago. Yes, shortly after it appeared, the village chief took the villagers to pay homage to Grandpa Hai.
Because the fishing village is different from other villages, villagers often have accidents on the moody sea, so they are more superstitious than other villages, especially for things related to the sea.
But no matter how simple it is to worship every day, it is always unbearable, and Grandpa Hai’s worship has to be at night, which is even more unbearable. In a few days, the number of people worshiping in the village is decreasing Fewer and fewer.
However, there were fewer worships, but the fishermen who went out to sea did not encounter any danger. Gradually, other people relaxed, and in the end, only a few people worshiped every day, and sometimes there was no one.
At this time, something happened in the village, which made the villagers and Grandpa Hai almost stand on opposite sides.
Jiang Ada's son went fishing with several of the most capable young people in the village. When they encountered a storm, the boat crashed and everyone died. Four or five people died at once. It can be regarded as a big event, so no one went to worship Grandpa Hai during that time.
Who would have thought that the next night, the village head would go crazy and ask the villagers who were still paying respects to their relatives to pay homage to Grandpa Hai. The villagers who were sad about the death of their relatives would naturally ignore them, but the village head kept pestering him endlessly. You know, the man by the sea Although they are superstitious, they are all fighting with their lives, but there are no softies, so a fight with weapons begins.
In fact, in a small fishing village, everyone does not look up and sees them down. Even if there is any quarrel, it will not be a big deal, but it is a word from the village head that makes things out of hand. The village head said: "Some young people have an accident. , because of disrespect to Grandpa Hai.
Everyone was grieving, but the village head's mention made everyone point the finger at Grandpa Hai. If you don't bless us, why should we pay homage to you. So the villagers are going to destroy the statue of Grandpa Hai.
The village chief stopped them, and both sides were red-eyed before fighting, and the village chief fell directly into the sea and drowned during the conflict.
But when they were about to destroy the statue of Grandpa Hai, all the villagers who did it were dazed and danced. In the following time, as long as any villager made irresponsible remarks about this matter, they would Join the worship team and dance weirdly, and slowly, the whole village is like this.
At the end of Wen Bao's speech, he told me mysteriously: "The village chief is not dead. I have seen him before, and I love wandering around the village."
I don’t care about the ghost of the village chief. I looked at Wen Bao and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Maybe what Wen Bao said about Grandpa Hai was true, but he didn’t say one very important thing, that is Why would Wen Bao say that Grandpa Hai is so big and he needs to sell it for money? Wen Bao can say such a thing, obviously, he should have seen Grandpa Hai, or know what Grandpa Hai is.
I looked at Wen Bao, wondering if he had forgotten this question or if there were other reasons.
Seeing me looking at him, Wen Bao had a weird smile on his face and said, "You've also made irresponsible remarks to Grandpa Hai."
