Speaking of Widow Zhou, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, she used to be a celebrity in our village because she knew how to pass the yin. According to the old people in the village, what she said about the yin was quite accurate.
The so-called passing through the underworld is to go down below, help find other people's deceased relatives, and then let those relatives come into her body to solve some problems of the living people above.
In fact, the widow of that week was a pretty ordinary woman before. Her shady ability only came about after her husband passed away. As for how she got it, she kept it secret, and people in the village only heard some rumors.
The rumor was told by the second daughter-in-law of the Zhou family and the girls of the Zhou family. It was said that on the night of the seventh day of her family's birthday, the widow Zhou (widow Zhou's husband) did not know what happened, so she escaped back to her house. A west wing room.
The Zhou family was not divided, and the seven members of the family lived together. Originally, the first seven members of the family were supposed to stay away, but they had no place to go, so they had to vacate the west wing room where Widow Zhou and her wife originally lived.
But Widow Zhou suddenly ran back in the middle of the night that day, and her family members who were fast asleep didn't know it. It wasn't until her sister-in-law, who was sleeping next to her, got up that night that she realized her sister-in-law was not around.
My sister-in-law didn't care at first. I thought her sister-in-law was also up at night, right? But when she left the house and was about to go to the bathroom to take care of herself, she was frightened half to death by the sudden laughter.
After all, she was the eldest brother's first child. That laughter sounded particularly scary in the quiet night. The widow's sister-in-law was only 14 years old at that time. How could she withstand such a scare? He immediately screamed and ran back into the house.
The family was woken up like this and they all ran to the yard. At this time, there was no laughter in the yard, but a woman's gurgling voice could be heard. She didn't know what she was saying. Listen carefully. I couldn't hear clearly, but I knew it was a woman speaking.
After Zhou Da went there, Tuesday was the mainstay of the house. He was a man and more courageous. After listening carefully for a while, Tuesday picked up a firewood stick and said: "I heard this sound coming from the west wing. Yes, I'm going to see what's going on and who is pretending to be a ghost."
On Tuesday, my daughter-in-law held off Tuesday and refused to let her go. This was because the eldest brother was in trouble. Rural people are superstitious and she was afraid that Tuesday would bring evil spirits.
At this moment, there was another burst of laughter. Listening to the sound, I felt that the laughter was very happy, but the sound was a bit floaty and made people feel cold.
"Obviously he is my son's first child, why is there a female ghost in the house?" The old man of the Zhou family sighed, the pain of losing his son was still in his heart. He was quite worried about the fact that his son did not come back today and a female ghost came back. uncomfortable.
"But why do I hear this voice sounds like that of my eldest daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Zhou's wife also said in confusion. When the voice spoke in a gibbering voice just now, the accent was so strange that they didn't hear anything. But when she smiled now, the sensitive Mrs. Zhou always felt that it was very familiar.
After what Mrs. Zhou said, the family listened carefully and found that it was not the voice of Mrs. Zhou.
"Forget it, I have to go and see it. I'm afraid my sister-in-law is angry." Losing a husband in middle age is a major pain in life, so Widow Zhou became angry because of this. To put it bluntly, she was angry. Mental illness is normal.
In addition, the family ties between people at that time could be said to be very strong, so how could there be any reason to ignore it
Thinking about Tuesday, I clenched the firewood stick in my hand and walked towards the west wing step by step.
It was still the familiar west wing, but the closed door of the west wing looked so terrifying to Tuesday's eyes, as if once it was pushed open, there would be hell behind it.
Walking to the door, Tuesday took a deep breath. In order to embolden himself, he suddenly yelled. Taking advantage of this momentum, he kicked the door hard.
A rural man who has been working all year round, a kick with all his strength is still very powerful, but the two firewood doors are not plugged in as Tuesday imagined, they are just covered. This time, Tuesday, who used too much force, suddenly He fell into pieces and fell into the door alive.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Mr. Zhou's worried voice came from behind him. He had lost a son, and he was very worried that this son would have some strengths and weaknesses.
"It's okay, I accidentally fell." Tuesday's voice was muffled. It hurt him from the fall, but he still answered quickly to avoid worrying his family.
Mr. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, but when he raised his head the next Tuesday, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
The west wing is not big. To put it bluntly, it is just a bedroom. People can see the whole room clearly when they walk in. On Tuesday, he had not had time to stand up. He was half-kneeling on the ground, still making movements to stand up, but his head was Lifted up.
It was at this moment that he saw the entire west wing clearly. Could he not see clearly? At this moment, a dim oil lamp was lighting on the only table in the room. His sister-in-law, Widow Zhou, was facing away from him, but her shoulders were shaking and she was laughing happily.
Originally, such a scene was not enough to scare the man Tuesday. The reason why his heart was in his throat was because his sister-in-law was in a very weird posture at the moment, with her head tilted and her body slanted, as if she was leaning on something. Same as above! What’s even weirder is that there are two benches in front of the table, and my sister-in-law is sitting on one of them. Normally, a person should sit in the middle when sitting alone, otherwise the bench will tip over, but she sits on the edge of the bench, and still Not moving at all.
Tuesday's throat was tight, and he forgot to stand up. He just half-knelt on the ground. He wanted to go out. This scene was too weird, but the person in front of him was his sister-in-law, and the eldest brother had just left. He couldn't ignore it.
After swallowing hard, I mustered up the courage to shout on Tuesday: "Sister-in-law...sister-in-law..."
There was a stutter in the shout, and because I was too nervous, the words "sister-in-law" she shouted were actually trembling, but Tuesday didn't notice it.
As soon as he shouted, Widow Zhou turned around. When she looked back, she was smiling. Under the dim oil lamp, this smile looked weird at first sight. The two corners of her mouth were turned up and her eyes were squinted, which were the two corners of her face. The piece of meat was stiff.
It feels like a clay statue!
"Look, the second child is here..." Widow Zhou said as she stared at Tuesday. Her eyes were very focused, giving the impression that she was like a cat at night staring intently at some statue.
In an instant, tears welled up in Tuesday's eyes. He was scared. He was not a fool. He clearly heard his sister-in-law say the word "Look?" To whom
Moreover, my sister-in-law’s voice cannot be described on Tuesday. It is said that no matter how calm a person’s voice is, there is still some anger in it. The so-called anger refers to people’s emotions, but my sister-in-law’s voice is just a voice. There were no computers at that time, otherwise Tuesday would be able to To be precise, the sound is very much like electronic synthesized sound.
At this time, Tuesday was not getting up, nor was he continuing to kneel, nor was he moving forward, nor was he daring to go back. He just felt that the bones in his spine were cold.
Suddenly, Widow Zhou, who was staring at Tuesday, stopped smiling. Her expression suddenly became strangely calm, but her eyes were a little fierce. She said: "Get out, don't disturb us, you can't enter this room."
Tuesday didn't answer, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare to say anything at all. People are scared to the extreme, either hysterical anger, accompanied by yelling, or silence. That kind of silence is a kind of wanting to yourself The hidden subconscious.
Facing his sister-in-law on Tuesday, he couldn't get angry, so he had to stay silent.
He stood up, turned around, and walked out of the west wing calmly on Tuesday, but his back felt itchy. It was a feeling after being stared at by something, but he didn't dare to look back, so he had to walk forward with weak steps. When I left the room, I heard a creak and the wood door behind me closed by itself.
"Mom," Zhou Zhou immediately called out, tears streaming down his face, and then he started running quickly. Unfortunately, his steps became weak and he fell down after just a few steps. But how could he dare to waste a moment? He immediately ran towards his family members who were standing not far away, using both hands and feet. He was rolling and crawling, looking as embarrassed as he could be.
The mother-in-law screams made Mrs. Zhou feel distressed. She ran two steps with her little feet and quickly went to support her son: "My son, what's wrong with you?"
"Mom, I feel... I feel like my brother is back." He shouted on Tuesday without even having time to wipe away his tears. Apart from explaining the situation just now that his eldest brother had returned to his soul for the first seven times, what other explanation could there be for it
"My dear Zhou Da." After hearing this, Mr. Zhou suddenly clapped his legs and howled. Perhaps he heard that his son's soul had returned, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
During this first Seven Soul Nights, the whole family was really uneasy. Although they thought it was Zhou Da who was back, because Widow Zhou said not to disturb her and she was really scared, the whole family never entered the west wing again that night.
This is the story about Widow Zhou that has been passed down by the Zhou family. It is really suspenseful to talk about, but among the villages in this land of China, which village does not have a few weird legends? It was even more bizarre and there were more things that couldn't be explained. People talked about it for a while and then didn't take it seriously.
Not long after this happened, word spread in the Zhou family that Widow Zhou had the ability to pass through the underworld. Some people first went to see it with the idea of trying it out, but they didn't expect that Widow Zhou was actually somewhat miraculous. Yin's ability is quite reliable. After two years, not only several nearby villages knew that Widow Zhou of Xiaowan Village could have Yin, but also people from the town came here because of her reputation.
There are three points worth mentioning in this matter.
The first is that Widow Zhou returned to normal after the first seven days of Zhou Datou. I heard that she came out of the west wing that morning and prepared breakfast for the whole family. The only thing is that she has another problem since then, that is, hiccups. She can hiccup ** times a minute. The sound is so weird that most people who see her for the first time will be scared.
The second is that Widow Zhou strongly requested the family to seal the window in the west wing. The window faced the courtyard and had good lighting, illuminating the whole house. Who would be able to pay attention to this request if she was not sick? But after that night, everyone in the family always had an inexplicable respect for Widow Zhou. If Widow Zhou asked, she would do it quickly. In the end, not only were the windows sealed, but the door was also covered with a thick black curtain.
The third is that 5 months after Zhou Da died, Widow Zhou gave birth to a son. No one in the village gossiped about this son. Even fools knew that he must be Zhou Da’s posthumous son. There were also old people in the village who said, no wonder Zhou Da Touqi did such a thing. The big news must be that he has a son and cannot leave his orphans and widowers behind. But no matter how you say it, this week the widow and her son are living well in the village with her ability to survive, and even the Zhou family has received help.
If it hadn't been for the beginning of that movement, Widow Zhou might have been doing this business until she was old. With this income, she could support her son in school, work, and marry a wife. But how could history change due to personal will? The Zhou family is now under strict surveillance, especially Widow Zhou, who is being watched by several people and no longer dares to mention the matter of intercourse.
No matter how the Zhou family's life is going, my family's life is indeed a bit gloomy, and it's all because of me.
My health did not improve. Although on the third day after I was born, my father wrapped me up tightly and borrowed a donkey cart to take me to the township health center early in the morning. However, the doctor there did not You can see what's wrong with me.
In the end, the doctor just told my dad: "This child is probably malnourished. He can just go back and take supplements." He didn't even prescribe any medicine.
On the way back, my father was in a very depressed mood. He said that the child was malnourished and that was not possible. Not only was my mother the best-fed and well-maintained pregnant woman in the village, she was better than most other families. , how can you give birth to a child who is malnourished? He looked weaker than the weakest baby in the village.
My dad couldn't figure it out, but he still chose to believe the doctor. After all, asking for Widow Zhou was just the worst plan. It might not only harm his own family, but also the Zhou family.
After we came back, my dad was thinking about giving me supplements. My mom had no milk, so every day my dad would go to a dairy farm in the neighboring village to get some. He would use the food at home to exchange for it. Not only was it milk, my dad also went to the town to get some. I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and worked hard to get some nutritional supplements. Anyway, they tried their best to supplement me.
The conditions of children at that time were absolutely incomparable with those of children today. My treatment was the only one in the village. Not to mention nutritional supplements, even milk every day, many children did not even think about it. At that time, Children, if they do not receive mother's milk, are mostly fed rice cereal.
Because of the supplements given to me, life at home was very tight, and my parents naturally had no complaints for me. What’s even more touching is that my two sisters didn’t complain at all.
The eldest sister even said: "Dad, please give your brother more milk. He is so young that he doesn't even have the energy to cry."
Everyone could see that the two daughters were greedy for milk when they looked at Bai Shengsheng, but not only did they not make a fuss, they were also so sensible, which really made my dad feel sad and moved for a while.
As a side note, my family is not very patriarchal. Over the years, except for a period when I was a child, my two sisters and I have been treated equally. It’s just that in the rural areas at that time, it was really embarrassing not to have a son, just because the greatest significance of a son was labor force. Without labor force, how could a family support itself
In this way, my father gave me supplements for a month. On the day when I was one month old, my father's original firm belief finally collapsed, because according to the rules, children must be weighed on the scale to see how much they have grown.
That day, my dad gave me a nickname with an almost pious hope, but the fact hit my dad. When I reached the full moon, I only grew 2 taels!
My dad has been gritting his teeth and persisting, thinking that maybe his eyes are not growing, but they are actually growing? After surviving until the full moon, but with such a result, could my dad not collapse
"Xiuyun, I think we have to go find Widow Zhou to see this child." That day, after being stunned for a long time, my father finally said this to my mother. This was also the last resort.
My mother's heart was very tight. To be honest, it was rare in that era for a child to weigh just over 3 pounds when he was one month old. With such a supplement and such meticulous care, if he is still like this, it must be wrong. Normal.
If it was because of a physical illness, forget it, but the doctors said there was no problem, and my performance at that time was just weak, and I didn't even catch a cold once. Besides, if it’s not evil, what is it
"Old Chen, why don't we give it another week and take a look? I've heard that some children don't grow well before the full moon, but they grow very fast after the full moon. Besides...by the way..." My mother hesitated. Hard to say.
"What are you talking about?" my dad asked, raising his eyebrows. The depression in his heart could not be relieved.
"Besides, the widow was yin that week. Can she see yin and yang? Doesn't it seem to be related to our child's affairs?" The reason why my mother hesitated to say it was because she was afraid of breaking my father's only hope.
"I know, but she is the smartest among the eight villages in ten miles and eight villages. Who else can I turn to? Besides, Mrs. Liu Wen also reminded me to look for her," my dad said in a muffled voice. After thinking for a while, he suddenly He became brisk again and said hopefully: "Do you still remember Wang Gou'er's doll? It's the Wang Gou'er that I played well with since I was a child. Didn't his Wang Zhu bump into evil when he was 2 years old? In those days My whole body is cold, I look like a fool, and I’m drooling, why don’t I look for Widow Zhou to look after me?”
"Then go find Widow Zhou, but you must be careful. Don't let those people catch anything, otherwise our family will collapse." My mother sighed helplessly. For me, I The parents finally decided to take a big risk.
