The so-called most important thing to listen to is the matter related to that red ghost. Fang Guosheng mentioned just now that they vowed to smash that Merlin into 10,000 pieces, and the death method of "smashing a corpse into 10,000 pieces" and that red spectacle will be given to me. The appearance of death is exactly the same.
But when it came to this, Fang Guosheng did not continue talking, but lowered his head slightly, as if he was caught in extremely painful mourning.
This story is a tragedy, so we were not in a hurry to urge Fang Guosheng. After about a minute or so, he asked us, "Are you trying to ask us if we have revenge?"
The four of us nodded in unison.
Fang Guosheng continued: "At that time, we only had more than 20 people left. Because Merlin had made great contributions to the devils, he was promoted to the county seat. If we wanted to go to the county seat to kill Meilin, it would be tantamount to Throw yourself in the net."
Speaking of this, Yang Xiaohui became impatient, so he urged Fang Guosheng: "Then what happened to Merlin in the end?"
Fang Guosheng said: "We have been unable to take Merlin, and we have to wait until the Japanese surrender and withdraw their troops in four or five years before we have a chance. Instead of being a traitor, he became an undercover agent of some country/military. What's even more irritating is that Merlin returned to the town to be the mayor. At that time, the mayor had soldiers in his hands. We are not Merlin's opponent."
"Then the civil war broke out, and until we were liberated in 1948, those of us really turned around."
I asked Fang Guosheng curiously, "During the civil war, weren't you transferred to fight elsewhere?"
Fang Guosheng said: "No, after the outbreak of the civil war, we turned into underground workers, and the scope of activities was also in this county town. Until liberation, we were all here, and we hardly touched any place."
I nodded and asked Fang Guosheng to continue.
He also continued: "We turned over and became the masters, and we had the right in our hands, so we took out the incident of the year and confronted Merlin. He was so scared at the time that he said he would give us a lot of money, hoping that we could let it go. past him."
"That's 50 lives, so of course we won't be bought by the money, so we fought Merlin and divided all his fields and property. At the same time, we also tried Merlin and exposed several of his crimes. In the end we decided to shave Merlin alive."
"Scrape alive!" Li Jiahao frowned and said, "Will it be too cruel?"
Fang Guosheng said: "At that time, we didn't have any culture, and our public trials were conducted in accordance with the old rules of the village. Those who committed crimes of disloyalty, unfilial piety, and injustice would be scraped alive, or killed with a cane."
In the old society, even at the beginning of the founding of New China, the rules in some places were better than the law, so the result of their public trial was that Merlin was scrapped alive, which is not an exaggeration at all.
I asked Fang Guosheng, "Is the place where you scraped the plum forest in Xinghualing? How many people participated?"
Fang Guosheng nodded and said, "We chose Xinghua Ridge to scrape the plum forest, because that is where our comrades sacrificed their lives, and only if that place shaves him alive can we comfort the spirits of those comrades in the sky and at the same time calm our hearts. It's been a fire all these years."
Fang Guosheng paused for a while and then continued: "Almost all the people in the town came on the day of shaving Merlin. Originally, we were going to use a sickle to shave each of them, but after all, many people are timid, so it's not enough to really do it. There are more than 30 people, and they are all men, and more than half of them are the remaining members of the original guerrillas."
I asked curiously, "Did you really shave Merlin with a scythe?"
Fang Guosheng said: "Yes, we were too angry at that time, and no matter what Merlin screamed or howled, we didn't spare him lightly. More than 30 of us shaved him a total of 176 sickles, and he didn't give up at all. When it moved, the flesh on its arms, legs, and face was basically shaved off by us, as well as his nose and ears were cut off by us, and we also dug out his eyes."
As Fang Guosheng said, I just made up my mind, and when he was almost done, I turned my head and retched for a while.
I had such a strong reaction, mainly because I had seen the red ghost show me his death state with my own eyes.
At this time, Yang Xiaohui also said with a very different expression on his face: "Although that Merlin deserves death, I didn't expect you to actually go down and shave it alive. This, this is too cruel."
Fang Guosheng immediately said: "No matter how cruel we are, we only killed him alone, but he killed more than 50 of our comrades in arms, that's more than 50 people alive!"
Without Fang Guosheng's hatred of Merlin in their hearts, it is indeed difficult for us to understand how they did it. I recited the meditation mantra several times, and then calmed my breath: "After Merlin was killed by you, how did you deal with him? corpse."
Fang Guosheng simply said: "The corpse in the wilderness!"
No wonder Merlin would be so "evil" after turning into a ghost. I finally found the crux. He died so miserably, and no one collected his body after he died, which greatly increased the resentment in Merlin's heart.
Before I could speak, Fang Guosheng said, "After Merlin's body rotted, passers-by thought it was too smelly, so they picked him into the river ditch, and after a few rains, his bones were washed away. already."
With no bones left, Merlin deserved such an end.
He did evil things in his lifetime, but after death he became an evil ghost and continued to do evil things. In this way, this Merlin is really a very "evil" ghost. When I encounter such a ghost, I basically don't want to send it away. Now, if I touch him again, I will definitely call out the ghost king without hesitation, and then disperse him.
Just when I was thinking about these things, Fang Guosheng said again: "After Merlin died, all the people in our town applauded, because not only the land was divided, but also the money, and a big traitor was eliminated. But the good times didn't last long, and soon a strange thing happened in the town."
I was shocked and asked, "Could it be that Merlin turned into a ghost and started harming people?"
Fang Guosheng nodded and said: "Yes, the first person who took revenge after he became a ghost was the new mayor who took the lead in shaving him, that is, the vice-captain of our original guerrilla team. Our vice-captain died tragically, he At home, he chopped off his own feet, half of his nose and one ear."
At this time, Yang Xiaohui asked Fang Guosheng, "How can you be sure that the ghost did it?"
Fang Guosheng said, "Because the night our vice-captain died, those of us who participated in the Merlin scraping case had the same strange dream, that Merlin ran back to us bloody."
"The next day our vice-captain died tragically at home, and the rest of us got together and came to a conclusion that Merlin became a demon and came back to seek revenge on us!"
Saying that the story here has begun to be a little fascinating, Yang Xiaohui asked Cui: "What happened later, what happened later?"
Fang Guosheng continued: "Later? Later, the rest of us didn't dare to disperse, and we stayed together in front of the deputy captain's spirit in the middle of the night. We felt that if we had more people, we might not be afraid of that Merlin. When he was human, We shave him once and he turns into a ghost, then we shave him again."
"Of course we are guarding the mourning hall of the deputy captain. Each of us has weapons in our hands, knives, box guns, etc. We all came from soldiers, and it was only four or eight years ago, and there are still many places in China. No liberation, so it's normal that we have those weapons in our hands."
I nodded and said I knew, and let him tell the truth without explaining everything to us.
Fang Guosheng also continued: "We stood in front of the vice-captain's spirit that night, and no one dared to close their eyes. It was about twelve o'clock when strange things started to happen. First we heard that inside our vice-captain's coffin There was a 'click', 'click' sound, as if someone was buckling on the coffin board."
Hearing this, the four of us couldn't help but make a clever call, but no one said a word, because we were all paying attention to the story that happened next.
Fang Guosheng looked up at the sun, as if he was calming the fluctuations in his heart, and after a few seconds he continued to say: "When we heard a strange noise in the coffin, those of us suddenly became clever, and some people said that it was a corpse fraud. , the corpse turned into something, we had a lot of people at that time anyway, and we had weapons in our hands, so we proposed to open the coffin of the deputy captain to see what happened."
"Until the coffin is ready to be buried, the coffin board will not be nailed, so a few people raised their hands and pushed the coffin board away."
Having said that, Fang Guosheng paused again, his face became extremely ugly, and it was obvious that what happened next would definitely be very terrifying.
Yang Xiaohui and Li Jiahao were fascinated by what they heard, so they quickly asked, "What did you see?"
Zheng Lina covered her ears and didn't dare to listen.
Fang Guosheng was silent for a while and then continued: "We saw the vice-captain raised his hand flat, and some coffin board sawdust embedded in his fingernails. No doubt the previous noise was caused by him snapping the coffin board."
"At that time, we were all lighting oil lamps. When the deputy captain raised his hand, one person was so frightened that he threw the oil lamp in his hand to the ground and extinguished it. The spirit shed was instantly darkened. We are even more afraid.”
"But at that time, our vice-captain's corpse had a new movement, and it slowly rose from the coffin."
When Fang Guosheng said this, Li Jiahao couldn't help but burst out a foul language: "Damn, zombie!"
Fang Guosheng shook his head: "At first we thought it was a zombie, but it turned out that our vice-captain was not a zombie, because it was not our vice-captain who controlled the corpse at all, but Merlin who was scraped to death by us."
I carefully asked what happened next, and Fang Guosheng said, "What happened next is the most terrifying thing I have ever seen in my life."
