When it came to revenge on humans, I couldn't help but interjected and asked, "Did the fox fairy start to take revenge on you?"
Han Qiguo didn't answer my question, but smiled helplessly at me, drank two more sips of tea, and then suddenly said to me, "In the beginning, it wasn't the fox fairy, but my mother, Han Xia."
Han Qiguo's mother? The story that followed, as he said, was a nightmare.
After the foxes were captured and killed, Han Xia stayed near the sour jujube tomb and cried all day, until one day the county magistrate came back again. This time, instead of the police, he brought a Taoist priest and a few strong men. They were going to dig the sour jujube tomb. .
At this time, no one helped Han Xia, including his sons, because Han Qiguo was bought by the county magistrate long ago. At the same time, Han Qiguo also took some benefits and brought his brothers and sisters to the county magistrate's side, so the county magistrate When taking those people to dig the graves of sour jujubes, only Han Xia stood up alone.
She stood in front of the sour jujube grave and asked the county magistrate, "Why did you dig this sour jujube grave? Why did you encourage these people to hurt the foxes who live here, and they have never done anything to hurt people."
The county magistrate looked at Han Xia and said, "I'm doing official business, and I can't tell you about a woman like you. I advise you to get out of the way quickly, so that I don't get rough."
Although Han Qiguo no longer agreed with her mother's actions in her heart, she didn't want to see her mother being beaten, so she hurriedly went to the side with her brother and sister to pull Han Xia, but Han Xia at the time didn't know where the strength came from. , pushed the children away at once, and then scolded Han Qiguo: "Niezi, don't think I don't know, it was the dog officer who gave you the money, the news about the fox fairy's disappearance and the disappearance of the fox fairy is also You helped spread the word, if it weren't for you, the foxes here would be fine, and if you offended the fox fairy, you would not end well either."
Han Xia spoke as if she had changed a person. Although she was stronger, she was originally a very gentle person. Now she can only use the word "hysterical" to describe her.
Seeing Han Xia's appearance, the county magistrate told Han Qiguo to let him hold his own wife, otherwise he would be rude.
So Han Qiguo rushed forward to pull Han Xia again, and said at the same time, tell Han Xia not to fight so hard, anyway, the fox fairy is gone anyway, if he was talking, why would he watch those foxes being killed one after another? Now that the fox immortals are gone, why are they still guarding a sour jujube tomb? Just collect some money from the county magistrate and move the family.
Hearing Han Qiguo's words, Han Xia slapped Han Qiguo in the face with a slap, pushed him away again, then picked up a stone and threw it at the county magistrate's group. At the same time, he ordered a few of his subordinates to push Han Xia away.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but interjected and asked, "Aren't officials in the old society very powerful, if someone collided, wouldn't they just kill him?"
Han Qiguo rolled his eyes at me and said, "The old society was also a society, and there were laws of the king. Who told the officials at that time that they could kill people indiscriminately?"
I thought about it and said a very idiotic sentence: "TV dramas are all played like that..."
Han Qiguo simply ignored me and continued.
After those shouts pushed Han Xia away, the leading Taoist priest suddenly stood up and said, "Kill this woman, she's already turned into a fox, if you keep her, within three days, this area will be filled with blood. "
Hearing the Taoist priest's words, let alone Han Qiguo, even the county magistrate was surprised, and at the same time, the magistrate immediately denied it and said, "Sir, what are you talking about? troublesome.
Seeing that the county magistrate refused to listen to his words, the Taoist said again, "It's okay not to kill her, then you can tie her up and tie her to a jujube tree in this sour jujube tomb, and let me do it to her. Of course, the time when you want to dig this grave will be delayed by three days."
In the opinion of the county magistrate, this piece of tomb was already in his pocket, and it was almost three days earlier and three days later, as long as no human life was caused and his future was affected.
Therefore, the county magistrate also agreed with the Taoist priest's approach.
So several strong men worked together and tied Han Xia to a tree. This time Han Qiguo and other children were all scared, so they knelt down and begged the county magistrate to release Han Xia. One sentence: "Didn't you listen to this gentleman just now, if your mother doesn't practice exorcism, she will become a monster. We are here to save her."
Hearing what the county magistrate said, a few children didn't know what to do.
On the day Han Xia was bound to Suanzaofen, the entire village of Dongzaofen knew that Han Xia was a monster, so she was bound by the master brought by the county magistrate.
As a result, Han Qiguo and other Han Xia's children were scolded by the villagers as soon as they returned to the village. Some people even started to say that Han Xia's children were also monsters, and the reason why Han Xia's husband died early. , was also killed by the monster Han Xia.
That night, the children of the Han family went to deliver meals to Han Xia, and when they arrived at Suanzao Tomb, they found that the county magistrate was no longer there, only the Taoist priest and a few big men were left. In the distance, they were squatting and chatting, while the Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged in front of a common table on an altar. On the table were some tributes, incense candles and oil lamps, and several talismans were pressed with stones.
Seeing that Han Qiguo and the others came over with the food, the Taoist said without blinking his eyes, "She must not touch any drops of water within three days, let alone the food. Don't worry, your mother will not die."
Han Qiguo and the others were not at ease, so they went to beg the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest was even more arrogant than the county magistrate, so he directly let a few big men kick Han Qiguo and other Han Xia's children away.
At this time, Han Qiguo glanced at Han Xia and found that Han Xia's eyes were different from before. Her eyes had turned green, and they were still faintly glowing with orchids in the night.
Seeing this scene, Han Qiguo was taken aback and couldn't help shouting at Han Xia, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Han Xia smiled at Han Qiguo, then opened her mouth and said one word: "Run!"
Han Xia's voice was very low, but she could vaguely tell from the shape of her mouth that one of the words she said was "run", but Han Qiguo didn't understand it for a while, but stared blankly at his mother, his sister and So is my brother.
The big men who pushed Han Qiguo and the others also looked back in amazement. Only the Taoist snorted and stood up and said, "I knew there was something in this tomb, but I didn't expect it to be so fierce."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask: "Did that Taoist say fox fairy, has fox fairy come back?"
Han Qiguo looked at it and said, "If you interrupt me again, I really can't speak."
I pinched my lips in embarrassment and forcibly removed my pouting mode.
Han Qiguo continued.
After the Taoist finished saying those words, he picked up a talisman from the offering table and stuck it on Han Xia's forehead. Han Xia screamed in pain, "Ah", and the blue light in her eyes also shone. went back.
Then the Taoist priest returned to the offering table and made it again, then picked up a talisman and lit it, then drew a circle, threw it into the air, and pointed at the sour jujube tomb and said, "Hurry up as a decree—press !"
Seeing this scene, Han Qiguo no longer dared to disobey the Taoist priest, and could only bring the food he brought home. At this time, Han Qiguo also gradually believed in the legend that his mother was a monster.
After returning to the village that night, Han Qiguo didn't fall asleep all night because he heard the sound of "woo woo" coming from the sky over the whole village, like the sound of wind, like the cry of a woman, more like It is the "wailing" of a group of foxes.
Although it was a strange night, nothing happened in the village.
The next day, Han Qiguo got up early and went to the sour jujube grave by himself, but when he got to the grave of the sour jujube, he was shocked. Pool of blood.
The Taoist priests and the big men were also gone, the offering table was overturned, a few broken talismans were hung on the jujube tree and swayed in the breeze, and a few low sour jujube trees were hit by something. Same as the attack.
Han Qiguo swallowed and walked over bravely. He was still very worried about his mother's accident, but he didn't dare to shout by himself, so he could only shout in a low voice: "Mother..."
The soft voice drifted away with the breeze, scattered in this sour jujube grave, like a stone sinking into the sea.
Han Qiguo stepped on the weeds and walked a few steps, and found that there was also a lot of blood in these haystacks. The blood in some places had dried and formed blood clots on the grass blades, and the grass blades were bent downward into an arc.
Seeing those bloody Han Qiguo, he was stunned.
However, he still dared to go forward, and at this moment, a "bang bang" sound suddenly came from a tomb bag in the front of the sour jujube tomb, as if something was knocking the coffin under the head of the tomb.
Hearing this, Han Qiguo groaned in his heart, and at the same time he couldn't help but take two steps back, but just as he was backing back, due to his urgency, he retreated into a grass next to his knees.
As soon as he retreated to Han Qiguo, he felt like he had stepped on someone's arm. He couldn't help but look down at his feet, throwing a bloody arm all by himself. He had his head in sight, jumped back to the road when he came over, and did not dare to walk along the grass again.
Han Qiguo already understood at this time, something happened here.
But at this time, the "bang bang" was another two sounds of knocking on the coffin under the tomb, and this time it was replaced by a tomb closer to Han Qiguo.
The thing that tapped the coffin seemed to be moving under the ground.
