The bamboo guards were a special group recruited by the local government during the Qing Dynasty. Most of them were ghost watchers, but there were also many down-and-out ghost masters. Most of them signed up to join the bamboo guards because they were poor and had difficulty making a living, and went to the mountains to be ghost watchers.
So among these people, there are many talented people with extraordinary skills, but they just want to make a living, so they hide in the mountains and forests. At that time, in order to prevent these people from leaving, the government issued a ban that "only entry is allowed, but not exit". If someone can't stand the loneliness and escapes, he will be sentenced to death. Therefore, for more than a hundred years, no one dared to run out of the mountains.
At first, the government would send them food and supplies, as well as some female prisoners, so that they could get married and have children. Later, during the Republic of China period, they were gradually forgotten by the government and left to fend for themselves. However, they were isolated from the world, not only afraid of the ban, but also afraid of being regarded as ominous people by the outside world, so they would rather starve to death than go out.
They cultivated land in the valley, but the best fields in the valley were planted with bamboo, leaving only some limited wasteland on the hillsides. They had to rely on God for the harvest, but the food harvest was very small, so they lived a hard life. Sometimes in drought years, they could not even get enough food.
The crazy girl was actually a very smart girl. In order to fill her stomach, she pretended to be crazy and stupid, and ran out of the mountain from time to time to find food. How could the tribe leader and the villagers care about a crazy girl and punish her with a ban? But no one thought that she was just pretending.
It can be said that every family in this village has their own unique Taoist skills. Crazy Girl is no exception. Although she is a girl, she has inherited her father's lifelong learning. Among the skills that Crazy Girl has learned, some are evil skills that are abandoned by Taoism, such as collecting ghost insects and cultivating evil spirits. The big toad is her masterpiece.
As a girl, she went out of the mountains to look for food, so she would inevitably encounter bad guys, so she brought a big toad with her for self-defense. This time, she happened to meet a foreign magician outside the mountain, this bastard. He knew the bamboo guards very well, so he used food to lure the crazy girl.
The crazy girl, who had been hungry for several days, sold a meal to this grandson. Not only did she help him deal with us, she also secretly killed a bachelor in the village, Liu Laosan, and asked him to live here disguised as Liu Laosan. Liu Laosan had a strange temper, did not associate with anyone, and often stayed at home, so his appearance had long been blurred by others. In addition, the grandson had a white cloth bandaged on his face, so others could not tell whether this Liu Laosan was real or fake.
They hid my little white flag and the captured fox in the storage box of the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall was only visited during festivals or when worshipping ancestors. No one entered during normal times, so no one noticed their activities.
The crazy girl confessed everything in front of all the villagers. The clan leader and Lao Hei were so angry that their faces turned green. They immediately led people to search for the dog bastard. They found the dog bastard's body deep in the bamboo forest. It turned out that the soul had been taken away by the evil insects in the bamboo.
I don't quite believe that this grandson would die so easily, but I have seen his appearance, especially the mark on his face that I made with the bloody cross, which is definitely not wrong. Maybe because of diarrhea, he couldn't climb the hillside, so he hid in the bamboo forest for shelter. His body was weak, so he was killed by the ghost insects in a confused manner. It was a good opportunity for this grandson! But I still have many unsolved doubts in my heart, and I am afraid that this will become a mystery that will never be solved.
