The place that Old Man Jiang took us to was a bit strange. It was a dilapidated house at the east end of the countryside. The closer we got, the uglier everyone's face became. Huijue kept chanting the Buddha's name, and even said "I He Surou couldn't understand the words.
"If killing one can save a hundred, then this killing is a compassionate killing, and it's my fault."
As soon as Huijue spoke, Old Man Jiang sighed.
Su Rou and I didn't understand what Huijue was talking about, and naturally we didn't know what Old Man Jiang was sighing. As for why everyone looked so heavy, we didn't even know.
"Sanwa'er, do you think that we two are so silly? I feel like they all know something, but we don't know anything at all?" Su Rou was the one who spoke.
These words really touched my heart.
However, after studying in the countryside for so many years, I am very familiar with everything in the countryside. I looked around and at the dilapidated house. While expressing my approval of the crispy pork, I couldn't help but say: "Surou, didn't you notice? Where are we going?"
Surou patted his thigh and said, "Isn't that house Wang Lezi's house? Why are you here?"
Surou often skips school and is more familiar with the countryside than I am. Wang Lezi is a relatively famous figure in the village. People don't like to have contact with him because he is lazy, dirty, and has a strange smell on his body for a long time.
In fact, his life can be the same as that of the villagers. He also has land, but he is too lazy to farm. After his parents died, he lived a life of begging and picking up rags. This is the case here, and also in nearby towns.
After all, how much oil and water can a rural farm have
After a long life of begging and not paying attention to hygiene, he contracted leprosy. There were leprosy on his head and body. However, he still had a wife. I don’t know where he got this woman. She was crazy and sane. Not sure, it's just as dirty as him.
The above reasons are why people in the village don't like to have contact with him. No villager sets foot in his dilapidated house all year round, unless there is some conference held in the village and he needs to be notified.
Surou and I were still wondering, when Hu Xueman walked up to us and said, "You said that Wang Scorpion might be dead."
"What? Dead?" Su Rou and I shouted at the same time.
"That Fayu brought up a trace of the hungry ghost's blood. If it didn't eat people, the color of its blood should be green. This is why your master had to kill it!" Hu Xueman sighed.
"Then how did my master know that something happened to Wang Lezi's family?" Now that master and old man Huijue were in a bad mood, I asked Hu Xueman directly.
"Although your master's divination skills are not as good as those of those top figures, he can still calculate this little thing. What's more, Master Huijue's clairvoyance ability that day is not a decoration. What does this little thing mean?" Hu Xueman said something and then stopped.
At this time, I tasted a hint of the smell. The master must have been surprised by the ferocity of the hungry ghost, so he intercepted a bit of its vitality, and then had to kill it. Old man Huijue had always been compassionate and felt that hungry ghosts could be saved. If it's not necessary, why let it go to pieces? As a result, only after knowing the truth did he say those incomprehensible words.
Now that things have been clarified, Surou and I feel heavy in our hearts. We would rather be as ignorant as before and not know anything.
"Sanwa'er, the bearded man just said that he might be dead. Is it possible that he is not dead? Wang Leizi doesn't care, but his wife is really pitiful." Su Rou was beside me, looking a little unhappy. Speaking of.
Yes, Wang Leizi does feel a little hopeless, but his wife is delirious, which is really pitiful. When Wang Lezi brought his wife home, there were people in the village who wanted to report her, but Wang Lezi said: "What's the use of complaining? If you arrest me, who will care about her food? She will live in exile." There’s no pity on the streets, you s***.”
These words really stopped people from reporting on her. This woman is stupid, stupid, and crazy. Who can bear this responsibility? Later, when the villagers saw that Wang Lezi had indeed not abused the woman, they let it go.
An old man in the village said: "If I knew that he dared to abuse him, I would have to go and complain."
This sentence also expresses the thoughts of many villagers.
Just when we were thinking about Wang Lezi, a group of us had already reached the dilapidated courtyard. My master was walking at the front. He didn't knock on the door, but just pushed it open, and the broken wooden door opened.
Wang Lezi’s house is a place that even thieves don’t want to visit!
As soon as I entered the yard, a strange smell hit my face. The yard was so dirty. There were piles of rags that Wang Lezi had collected everywhere. I almost fainted from the smoke.
Old Man Jiang looked up at the house in the yard and said, "Go in."
The tone was indescribably heavy. Everyone said nothing and followed Old Man Jiang into the house. Hu Xueman walked in front and kicked the door violently. As soon as the door opened, there was a strange smell. The incomparable taste hits your face!
Before the crispy meat went in, he had already spat out the noodles he had just eaten with a "wow" sound at the door of the room, followed by me, and then the boy. Everyone else was fine, and his concentration was stronger than the three of us. !
That smell left a very deep impression on me. In the years to come, if someone asked me what was the worst smell in the world, I would say without hesitation: "Corpse odor!"
It was the unique smell of a rotting corpse.
Old Man Jiang's face also twitched, but he was still calm. Huijue just chanted one Buddha's name. I'm used to it. He didn't know how many Buddha's names he chanted along the way.
At this time, someone covered his nose with his sleeve and fumbled to light the oil lamp in the room. Under the bright light, everyone felt better psychologically.
Under the light, there was a messy main room. No one was seen. Old Man Jiang didn't say anything and walked towards the left wing. This dilapidated house only had three rooms in total.
People hurriedly followed. Surou and I had a very bad feeling in our hearts, but we still followed, just walking behind.
Before they even entered the room, the people walking in front backed out and ran to the door one after another. The sounds of retching could be heard one after another.
Su Rou was hesitant to go in, but I pulled him in. As soon as I entered, I regretted it. This was the first time in my life that I saw such a tragic situation. There were two corpses that had decomposed to varying degrees, and one Lying on the bed, one lying on the ground, all of them were disemboweled.
The crazy woman lying on the bed was Wang Leizi. There was no sign of struggle, but the expression on her face was fixed in an extremely frightened look.
The one on the ground was Wang Leizi. From the messy traces in the room, it could be seen that he wanted to run away, but there was no room for him to run away, so he died like this. The look on his face made everyone feel sick.
It was clearly a combination of disbelief, fear, and unwillingness.
"Amitabha." The old man Huijue recited a Buddha's name. As soon as he finished his words, Surou and I ran out and vomited out together with the people outside.
It's a pity that the smell just now made me and the crispy meat irritated and vomited out. At this time, I could only feel more uncomfortable retching.
"It's so fucking miserable." After finally recovering, Surou said directly.
"Yeah, it's so fucking miserable." I have never had a good impression of Wang Lezi, but now I couldn't help but sympathize with him. After all, it was a living human life.
Besides, I feel so resentful in this courtyard.
"It's a good thing that the hungry ghost was burned alive. I would have to cut it alive." Su Rou said through gritted teeth.
When a person's psychological pressure reaches a certain level, he really needs to say dirty words and harsh words to release it. Surou and I have obviously reached this critical point.
Old Man Jiang and Hui Jue came out. I don’t know what state they have reached. Facing this scene, they can still remain calm. I don’t want to remember it at all. The blood on the ground and the sticky intestines , and some fragments of internal organs.
"The hungry ghosts have been extinct since the Ming Dynasty, at least the blood-eating hungry ghosts. I didn't expect...this encounter caught me so off guard, hey..." Old Man Jiang's tone was filled with emotion. heavy.
