Chapter 336

According to folklore, herbivores like cattle and horses all have shady eyes that humans don't have.

The so-called Yin eye is able to see some dirty things that human beings can't see.

Here, please allow my brother to be wordy, don't spray.

When I was seven or eight years old, my family raised a little jujube horse, which was used to cultivate land, pull crops and sell agricultural products in the city (it was in the mid-1980s, when livestock cars were not prohibited in the city, and rural people would use cattle and horses to pull their own cabbage and watermelon into the city to sell them).

That summer, my father and I drove to the city at about nine o'clock in the evening (it took about seven or eight hours to walk from the countryside to the city, which was still a smooth time).

At that time, it was good to have a carriage at home. Most people started from home at six or seven o'clock in the afternoon with people pulling the cart.

At about one o'clock in the morning, we met several neighbors in the same street on the way. They were husband and wife or brother and sister who were pulling a cart to sell watermelons in the city. Because the trip was smooth that day, my father was not in a hurry, so he slowed down and talked with them.

Now when I think about that time, it's incredible that many people even pull a thousand kilos of watermelon on foot and drive about 50 kilometers in the night. When they go back home, it's the evening of the next day. People still like dancing for one more cent per kilo of watermelon.

Although our family has a carriage, but the car is also heavy, and my father is a person who cherishes animals. Even if his legs are not convenient, he always walks with a whip. But I'm too young. After walking for a few hours, I'm very tired. I climb on the watermelon cart and lie on my back looking at the stars with my legs up.

At that time, the air quality really did not say, looking at the stars in the sky is particularly clear, blinking really like a girl's eyes.

After catching up with the neighbors, my father went down with them and talked loudly about the watermelon harvest this year and whether it could be sold at a good price tomorrow.

I am bored in every way, lying on the watermelon pile, listening to their conversation.

At that time, the road was very narrow. As long as it was not a village, there were no commercial houses on both sides of the road. There were only large areas of trees and farmland. It was dark all around without any lights.

Father, as they were walking, I felt a little sleepy. I closed my eyes unconsciously. As soon as I was about to go to bed, I suddenly felt that the car had stopped. Then our little jujube red horse made a loud noise.

The father who was talking was a little puzzled. He pulled the reins and yelled, "fight!"

Jujube horse, who used to be gentle and regarded his father's instructions as the imperial edict, didn't listen to him this time. He held his head high, looked at the front with fear in his blue eyes, snorted hard, and stepped on the road with his front hooves. He even stepped back.

At this time, an old man suddenly said, "Oh, no, we've got something dirty!"

We have a legend here that animals such as horses and cattle have Yin eyes, and they can see dirty things that human beings can't see, such as ghosts and goblins, hamsters and wolf spirits in the legend.

These things always come out at night to scare people, so they are called dirty things by the common people, which is also called evil devil in writing.

Father and others also know this story. They've even heard of the strange thing that two brothers in the neighboring village pull a cart to sell vegetables, but they encounter dirty things on the way and walk around the graveyard all night. Human beings can't see those things. Such a situation is what the old man called "ghost hitting the wall.".

If we didn't have the red horse in our family that night, maybe we would pull the cart around for a night until the golden rooster crows.

All of a sudden, the father and they were in a panic. The old man, who was experienced, immediately asked everyone to turn on their flashlights. If they didn't have flashlights, they would light up the smoke.

In folklore, anything dirty is afraid of light and fire.

So, four or five scooters, more than a dozen people, in addition to our two children, other people, men and women, all lit up flashlights and lit up the smoke.

A few brave young men, with a flashlight in their left hand and a stick in their right hand (the stick is used for weighing when selling watermelons, and also for self-defense. It's very strong and easy to handle), slowly search along the middle of the road according to the orders of my uncle.

According to folklore, the road in the world is the river in the underworld. Ghosts can only walk on both sides of the river (that is, both sides of the road). They dare not go down the river at all. If they want to cross the river, they have to go to the crossroads (the crossroads are the intersection of yin and Yang, and also the bridge in the underworld. In the early days, many people would burn paper at the crossroads on festivals related to ghosts and gods such as Qingming Festival, Giving alms to the homeless wild ghosts can be regarded as the virtue of accumulating Yin, but they will never leave their own name and home address, so as not to encounter those greedy wild ghosts who will often harass them).

Therefore, the old man told the boys to walk in the middle, in order not to be pulled away by the ghosts on both sides of the river.

The young men were young and full of Yang, and there were many people and guys in their hands, so they were not afraid at all. They were all swearing, carrying sticks and waving. After about 100 meters, they saw nothing except a pile of paper burning ashes under a crooked neck tree.

Strange to say, after the boys turned on their flashlights and walked around with sticks, the jujube red horse in my family was no longer in a panic and became obedient again. He was pulled by his father and soon passed the road.

The old man of my family seemed to know something. Before he left, he took out three cigarettes (a pack of six cents for the public. At that time, it was even a high-grade cigarette in the countryside. If it wasn't for going out, he would not be willing to smoke at home). He stood under the crooked neck tree and talked a few words before he left.

After that, we had a good journey and arrived at the farmer's market in the city before dawn.

I remember clearly that the price of watermelons sold by our party was the highest and the fastest on that day. Before 3 p.m., all watermelons sold out, and we arrived home three hours ahead of time happily.

Later, by chance, we heard that an old lady, who couldn't bear to be bullied by her daughter-in-law, was hanged from the crooked neck tree in the evening on the road where our jujube horse was suddenly frightened.

In the folk custom, abnormal deaths such as hanging and drowning are considered to be violent deaths. They can't enter the reincarnation of the underworld. They can only be solitary ghosts, and they can't enjoy the "welfare treatment" of the underworld. Therefore, those things are unwilling to go out in the middle of the night to scare people.

Fortunately, the old man knew some rules, and before he left, he gave the old lady three sticks of "superior" incense.

As soon as she was happy, she not only let us go, but also blessed us with "prosperous business".

From this point of view, this idiom is very reasonable.

Er, it's a little far and a little too much. Don't blame it.

In fact, it's not boring gossip. It's really my brother's personal experience when he was young. Although it's creepy in retrospect, it's still a little warm compared with those modern ghost stories.

Less gossip, more books!

Gao Fei strangled the camel, turned to look at the dark ghost sand, and asked Tietu curiously, "evil devil? Why didn't I see the evil devil

Tietu also strangled the camel, coldly said: "if you can become a donkey, you will certainly have a pair of eyes, but also can see the dirty things that human beings can't see."

"Cao, why don't you become a donkey?"

Gao Fei scolded, but he no longer doubted tie Tu's words. When he was a child in an orphanage, he heard Liang Ming's grandmother say that animals have shady eyes and can see dirty things. Camel is also a kind of animals and can see dirty things that human beings can't see. It seems normal.

Just now, the camels had to run for at least two or three kilometers. They all had big nostrils, gasping and shaking.

Gao Fei asked Tietu, "what shall we do?"

Tietu tightly pursed the corners of his mouth and said faintly, "let's go back."

Ye Xin was sad and wondered: "go back? Do camels like it? "

Tietu replied, "when we get to the place where camels dare not go forward, we can walk there. Anyway, it's not too far away from Longmai. In fact, I'm a little puzzled. How did Lao Liu and some of them get rid of camels? "

Qincheng carefully proposed: "did they cover the camel's eyes with cloth?"

Tietu shook his head: "it's useless. The animal's eyes can't be covered. It seems that they may have walked in and put the camels somewhere. Well, I won't say any more. Let's go. "

After a torrential rain, there were a series of strange things, such as ghost town, ghost woman, Goofy's mind lost, and camel warning. The four people no longer dare to be careless, and they seized on their weapons one after another, forcing the camel to turn around again.

The camels reluctantly, under the threat of the whip, had to set foot on the section to the dragon vein again.

On the way back, Tietu searches the front carefully with an infrared telescope with night vision function.

However, except for the dark sand dunes, there was nothing else to be seen. Instead, the night wind was getting stronger and stronger, blowing some quicksand on the top of the sand dunes and making a clattering sound, just like someone was walking on tiptoe.

Soon, four people and six camels came to the area where the camels were frightened again.

This time, the camels showed people their incredible warning again. As soon as the camel on Tietu's crotch had a loud nose, it began to retreat.

"Woo!"

Tietu gave a low drink and jumped down from the camel. After leading it back for more than ten meters, he said in a deep voice: "everyone tie the reins together, and then tie each camel's hoof together. In this way, they can't go anywhere. They can only wait for us here."

Qin Cheng asked anxiously, "if we bind the camels, we will harm the sand wolves and other wild animals."

Tietu shook his head: "it doesn't matter. According to the desert legend, no beast will come to the ghost sand area."

Soon, the three of them tied the reins of the camels together according to what Tietu said, and connected one of their hooves together with a rope.

Qincheng patted a camel and said softly, "camel, camel, don't be afraid. We will come back soon and let you be free again."

The camel seemed to understand the words of Qincheng, raised his neck and gave a loud cry.

Since the camel refused to move forward, the four had to pack some of their belongings, carry them on their backs, follow the iron butcher with a brass compass, and walk to the area where the camel stopped.
