There are always many weird things in the deep mountains and old forests, and the people who live there have formed a unique set of rules.
Manling Yehugou is not a deep mountain and old forest, but the transportation is inconvenient and the residents are sparse. Lao Jia lives alone in this mountain and forest. For the first time I have heard of "Snowman running all over the mountains". Did the snowmen become fine? Besides, you are alone. Did you pile up these snowmen for fun?"
Lao Jia shook his head hurriedly, looked at the old Taoist priest, then showed suspicious eyes, and asked: "This old man is not an ordinary person? How do you call it?"
The old Taoist responded faintly: "Brother is just a day away, there are a few safety symbols here, which can protect you from safety!"
Lao Jia took the Taoist talisman and hurriedly hid him close to his body. He took out a black porcelain bottle of wine and invited us to drink together, "It's cold this day. Drink some wine to warm your body!"
I also took a bowl of wine and tasted it. It was very spicy. But my stomach is groaning, and I hope I can eat.
The old Taoist said: "Brother Jia, how can we drink?"
Lao Jia understood that he hurriedly took out the bacon and pickles from the cage, and served us a bowl of chicken soup.
"There is no shortage of vegetables, vegetables and game here. It is difficult to get water. I can't use it for aging snow water. When it doesn't snow, I use a donkey to go to the camel water at a spring twenty miles away!"
We were eating. Old Ding led Zhenmin back. When he saw meat and wine, he pulled Mudun down and started eating.
There is a telephone line here for emergency contact. There is no electricity, but Lao Jia has an old-style radio. After turning it on, the noise is very loud.
The house is very simple, half a kitchen, half a bedroom, and there are wolf skin mattresses on the soil kang.
After we ate and drank enough, Lao Ding said goodbye to him, Lao Jia was a little reluctant, and led the black dog to send us away.
Back in the pickup truck, Lao Ding started the car and started to return. The old Taoist asked, "What did this old Jia do before? I think he is definitely not a farmer, let alone a hunter!"
Lao Ding replied as he drove: "Brother's eyes are very poisonous! This old Jia used to be a soldier, he fought in India, came down from the front line of Laoshan, and went to Maling Prison as a prison guard after he was demobilized."
When we returned to the village road under Hongtu Lingxia, it was already afternoon, and the little horse called out hungry in the van.
Brother Zhenmin hurriedly took out the hare meat brought back from Lao Jia to satisfy his hunger.
Old Ding said to me: "Hang your van behind my car, and I will pull you back to the town."
I was in a hurry, took out the chain from the toolbox of the pickup truck, hung it up, and sat in the pickup truck.
Brother Zhenmin got into Lao Ding's car, the car started, and the van followed the pickup truck and returned to Huimeng Town.
The pony only gobbled up rabbit meat and let me take control of the steering wheel. I had never driven a car before, but had to bite the bullet.
The old Taoist muttered to himself in the back seat: "This old Jia is definitely not a waiting person. His donkey must be a black donkey. He is not only guarding the forests of the Yehugou, but also guarding the wild foxes. The ancient tomb of the ditch."
While holding the steering wheel tightly, I asked: "What does Lao Jia mean when the snowman runs all over the mountain?"
The old Taoist asked, "What do you think?"
Xiao Ma guessed: "Could someone pretend to be? It's too easy to pretend to be a snowman!"
The old Taoist whispered to us: "It's not a snowman, but a ghost chase. We came across the ghost chase under the ghost emperor's debt collector. In fact, they are paper men, but they have fallen on a layer of snow. It was mistaken for a snowman."
"Ghosts?" Xiao Ma and I were a little confused.
The veteran Taoist explained: "Humans are composed of souls and **, what about ghosts?"
I didn't answer, the pony was still gorging, but he choked with food too quickly, the old Taoist hurriedly took out his "boring donkey" and handed it to the pony.
"After a person dies, the body rots into soil, and the soul disappears without a trace, but there will always be exceptions. Some people think that after death, the soul will go to heaven or go to the underworld. But there is a process, and the soul has no substance. , But sometimes it is necessary to show itself, it is necessary to use soulless things, such as paper people."
The old Taoist also took a sip of wine and continued to explain: "Paper people have no souls. They often appear on the graves, and they are possessed by ghosts. These ghosts also like to attach to them."
"What happened last night?" I asked the old Taoist priest again.
The pony gasped for breath and asked, "Yes, how do we pay off the debt we owe?"
The old Taoist whispered: "Little Ma, if you don’t have the excavator, you will follow me in the future. As long as you listen to me, I will pay the debt for you! Xiao Yuan, think about it, and when you think about it, go to Yiyanghua. Guoshan is looking for me!"
"What do you do with you?" Xiao Ma asked.
The old Taoist was a little angry and coldly scolded: "You ask so much what to do? You will just follow me in the future, and you will do what I ask you to do. It is better than you to stay as a ghost slave, you know!"
The little horse hurriedly bowed his head and said yes.
I hurriedly said: "I don't want you to pay my debts for me. We'd better not meet again in the future, and you and Xiao Ma will not go to my place or the hospital to find me, let alone go to my house."
The old Taoist asked back: "Are you trying to unload the grit and kill the donkey or cross the river to demolish the bridge?"
The pickup truck in front suddenly stopped. I had no time to brake and hit the rear of the pickup truck. Fortunately, the speed of the van was so slow that I was fine.
Xiao Ma immediately pulled the car door and went down to check. Zhenmin and Old Ding got out of the car and came to explain to us: "There was a car accident ahead, and a small truck went straight into the ditch."
I hurriedly looked at the bottom of the ditch beside the mountain road, and a small truck fell down inside. Out of professional habit, I immediately rushed to the bottom of the ditch. On the slope of the ditch, I saw the snowman that had been smashed, as well as the snowman's round head and very strange pair of big eyes.
The mountain road here was more than ten meters deep from the bottom of the ditch. The small truck rolled over several times, lying on the bottom of the ditch with its stomach upside down. The cab was deformed. A driver wearing a gray leather jacket was bleeding and unconscious.
I was busy smashing the remaining glass with my elbow to inspect the driver’s injuries. I touched the artery in his neck and had a pulse. The doors on both sides of the truck could not be opened. Fortunately, the truck driver’s legs were not affected. Stuck, I put my hands under his armpits and dragged him out of the car.
Brother Zhenmin and the old Taoist also followed and helped me save people together.
The driver was laid flat on the snow at the bottom of the ditch. I began to look for his wounds. The scalp was cut with broken glass and the blood flow continued. I hurriedly took out the Bo needles and used acupuncture points to stop the bleeding.
The old Taoist priest took out a Taoist talisman, burned it, and scattered paper ashes on the wound. I hurriedly warned: "You can't do this, the wound will be infected!"
"There are no bacteria on this paper ashes. Even if there is, it will be burned to death. How can it be infected!" The old Taoist retorted.
I ignored him and asked Zhenmin, "Where are Lao Ding and Xiao Ma?"
Brother Zhenmin replied: "Lao Ding drove to the town to call for help, and Xiao Ma stayed to see the car. Shall we first lift the patient to the top? You are an emergency doctor, and rescue him first!"
The old Taoist stared at the driver, his eyes full of murderous intent.
I hurriedly warned him: "This person is still alive. If the treatment is delayed, I will take full responsibility. According to the state, it is a crime to fail to save it!"
Brother Zhenmin also echoed: "Old Ding knows that we have come down to save people, we can't fool him!"
I used alcohol cotton wool to press the wound on the patient's scalp, first stopped the blood, and then went to look for other wounds.
The old Taoist said meaningfully: "If the ambulance arrives now, you can still save him, otherwise you want to save him with your set of needles? It's impossible!" (End of this chapter)
