The years of reselling the haunted house

Granny Zhang continued: "Actually, it doesn't matter what it's called. The important thing is that they can detoxify the poisonous earthworm. We see that mushroom head looks a bit like a dog's head, so we call it dog's head mushroom. "

"Dog's head mushroom? What a coincidence? No wonder I thought you gave my dog ​​to..."

Grandma Zhang waved her hand: "These are two different things... The dog's head mushroom I said resembles a dog's head, but it is just similar in shape, but it is much smaller than the real dog's head. You read it wrong. It should not be because of this, but because of the dog's head mushroom... ..."

As she said that, Granny Zhang walked to the nearby grass, knelt down and searched carefully.

Finally, she reached out and pulled up a piece of grass in one place, and showed it to me: "Look, this is the dog's head mushroom."

I took it over and took a look, and found that it was indeed a grass, but the rhizome of this grass was very thick, and a kind of fruit was formed between the grass leaves.The fruit is umbrella-shaped, rather like a mushroom.The mushroom head is not completely round, there are three protrusions on it, two are closer to each other, and one is slightly farther away.

At first glance, those three bumps really look like two ears and a snout on a dog's head.

Grandma Zhang and the others call this fruit the dog's head mushroom, but it's really an image.It's just that the mushroom head is half the size of a palm at best, which is indeed too different from a real dog's head.

Grandma Zhang took the dog's head mushroom and snapped off the rhizome of the dog's head mushroom in front of me.

As soon as the stem was broken, a stream of red juice came out from it.

The red juice dripped down the ground along the rhizome, and the amount was not small.

When the red juice was gone, Grandma Zhang turned over the stem, and I saw that there were still a lot of black fibers inside.This should also be a unique structure of this plant.But when I saw the black fiber, I immediately thought of the black hair I saw in that pot.

Moreover, Grandma Zhang told me that after the dog's head mushrooms are cooked in the pot for a period of time, they will condense together to form a hard mass.They need to be stirred constantly with a spoon to separate.

Now I finally know why I mistake the dog's head mushroom boiled in the pot for the meat of Tie Zhu.

When the red juice boiled out, the whole soup turned into a pot of blood.And these dog's head mushrooms gathered together, together with the black fibers from the boil, also made me have a bigger misunderstanding.

Grandma Zhang said that after she brought us here, she cooked a pot of dog head mushrooms.It is because we are afraid that we will be bitten by that kind of poisonous earthworm, because there is no way to prevent that kind of poisonous earthworm.The only way to rescue after the event.However, as long as you take the soup of dog's head mushroom once, you can maintain immunity to this poisonous earthworm for three to five days.

Knowing the truth of the matter, I also feel that my eyes have been opened.After the old horse wakes up, he should also become interested in this miraculous phenomenon in nature.

Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that not only Ma Di and Pang Dahai drank this soup.The three Danqiu brats also ate and drank just now.What's going on here?Could it be that they were also poisoned by poisonous earthworms?This is unlikely, right?

When I raised the question, Grandma Zhang smiled wryly and said, "They are ghosts, how could they be poisoned?"

"Then why would they also eat the dog's head mushroom soup you prepared for them?"

Grandma Zhang said: "It was because of a chance, I discovered that they like to drink this soup and eat dog's head mushrooms in it. So we reached a tacit agreement. Every day I will prepare some for them..."

"But mother-in-law, didn't you say that this kind of ghost is very evil? People are afraid of people, but ghosts worry about ghosts. Are you... not afraid of them hurting you?"

Chapter 649 Yin Yang Tomb

Grandma Zhang sighed and said: "Old man, I have lived for most of my life for decades. It can be said that I have seen all kinds of weird things when I was young. But nothing compares to my experience here in the past two years. Everyone Said, ghosts are difficult to deal with. But I seem to be related to ghosts. And now I firmly believe that no creature in the world is born to do evil, and everything has its reason. The saying that people are inherently good, I think not only It’s only talking about people, but it’s also applicable to other creatures. As you can see, I get along very well with these Danqiu brats now, I give them food, and they help me carry stones..."

Pointing to the stone grave, I asked, "They...are they helping you move the stones?"

Granny Zhang nodded: "This is the tacit agreement we have reached with each other. Come and see..."

Saying that, Grandma Zhang led me to the stone grave.

I have been observing this stone tomb, except that it is covered with large and small blue stones, there is nothing unusual about it.

But this time, Grandma Zhang took me half a circle around the stone tomb and came to another direction of the stone tomb.

This is the direction that those Danqiu brats just wanted to cross, but they haven't been able to.At the same time, this is the side where they tried to throw the stone over, but also failed.

When I got here, I discovered the difference between this half and the other half.

There is not a single stone on this half of the grave, it is all soil.

Not only that, but the color of the soil on it is still black.At first glance, the tomb looks like a coal pile.

Grandma Zhang motioned for me to grab the soil from the grave to try.

I grabbed it and found that the soil was wet.

"Mother-in-law, what is the name of this grave? How could it be that there are two states in one grave?" I asked puzzled.

"Because there is a saying about this kind of tomb, it is called Yin-Yang tomb."

"Yin Yang tomb? How was it formed? What's the difference between this and an ordinary tomb?"

Grandma Zhang waved her hand: "Let's go. Let's go back first, and I'll tell you about the origin of this Yin-Yang tomb later."

Saying that, Grandma Zhang tremblingly took off the lantern inserted on the Yin-Yang Grave, held it in her hand, and led me back along the way I came, to the thatched cottages.

"Tie Zhu... Tie Zhu..." I looked around, looking for traces of Tie Zhu, and shouted a few times.

The iron pillar disappeared from where we lived, and there was no trace except for a dog barking.This worries me a lot. We have been here for a while, and if the iron pillar is nearby, it will definitely appear.As a result, it still hasn't appeared until now, and I feel a little empty in my heart.

It seems that this silly dog ​​is a mockery or a beast.After a period of training, it is still unorganized and disciplined, and the problem of not obeying orders has not changed at all.

I yelled twice, but got no response.Looking at the dark forest, I don't know where this guy went.

"Don't worry, your dog will be fine."

Grandma Zhang saw the extraordinaryness of Tie Zhu, but she had great confidence in it.

I had no choice but to give up looking for Tie Zhu, and followed Granny Zhang back to my residence. I was also worried about Pang Haihai and Ma Di, so I went to see them first.

The condition of the two of them has improved significantly. Not only is their body no longer as stiff as before, but the temperature on the surface of their body has also become normal.It's just that they are still frowning, they haven't woken up yet, and there is still a layer of sweat on their faces.

It seems that the toxicity of the so-called poisonous earthworm is really not small.I helped them wipe the sweat off their faces.

Grandma Zhang saw that I was more concerned about the two of them, so she also stayed in that room.

"Grandma, can you tell me about the Yin-Yang grave?" I moved a bamboo stool for Grandma Zhang, and I sat directly on the bunk.

At this critical time, I really dare not leave them again, even though Grandma Zhang said it was fine, I was afraid that there would be another accident.

At this moment, Granny Zhang had a sad expression on her face, and said, "The Yin-Yang tomb...is my daughter's tomb..."

"Your daughter's grave? Why is she buried here?"

Granny Zhang nodded: "Yes. My daughter's name is Zhang Yingying. We originally lived in a village [-] kilometers away from here. My daughter could have stayed in other provinces after graduation, but she missed us, so she gave up staying in the By chance outside, I went to our poor village and worked as a road toll collector. I usually collect tolls at the toll post you see. At that time, the road was not closed, but because the place is relatively remote, many people were unwilling. Come here to work. So the girl and the others are not enough, and they have to work long hours every day..."

When Granny Zhang talked about her daughter, she finally picked up her memory slowly.She slowly told me about her daughter, and the sadness on her face gradually faded away, replaced by a more gratified expression.

It can be seen that in her eyesight, this girl is definitely an exceptionally good girl who can make her proud.

Of course, this is also a mentality that parents all over the world often have.

Grandma Zhang went on to say: "You have seen that place too. It is surrounded by mountains and there is only one winding mountain road. There are occasional small landslides, and I think there will be accidents in that place sooner or later. I also advise my daughter not to do it there. But my daughter said that other good places have already been occupied. This place is the closest job she can get to us. Alas...it’s my fault too. That place... can't stay..."

Hearing this, I asked in surprise: "Mother-in-law, why did you feel that there would be an accident in that place? Is there any basis? Is it just because of a small landslide?"

Granny Zhang shook her head: "Of course it's not just because of this. I think the feng shui in that place is not good..."

I was taken aback: "Grandma, do you still know Feng Shui?"

Grandma Zhang shook her head: "I don't understand. But my old man, my daughter's father understands."

"Then your uncle is a Feng Shui master?"

"No, he's not a feng shui master, he's just a sawmaker."

I was taken aback again: "Sawmaker?"

What kind of industry is this again?Since I came into contact with this industry, papermakers, pig butchers, bone pickers, etc., all kinds of seemingly ordinary industries, many of which are ancient industries have extremely rich historical origins, and in them, it seems There are more mysterious skills hidden in it.

So I heard about the profession of sawsmith again, and subconsciously thought that this should not be an ordinary industry.

Chapter 650

Grandma Zhang saw that I didn't understand, so she simply told me about the origin of the sawmaker.

After listening to her, I understood that the most basic skill of the so-called sawman is to cut down various trees in the mountains.This is a kind of industry, and it is also a means of earning a living in the mountains and forests.But sawsmiths are the same as pig butchers, paper cutters, etc. In addition to the methods of cutting trees and killing pigs that we can see, there are also unknown internal industry secrets.

Many people don't know sawsmith now, because it is indeed a profession that is on the verge of disappearing.He is different from a carpenter. A sawman usually works in the mountains, cutting down big trees, and then transports them back home for the carpenter to use. Of course, he also does some more delicate work, such as the rafters of rural houses in the past. They were all sawn by a sawmaker in the mountains first.

Grandma Zhang did not specifically say what special skills sawsmiths have, but I think that since sawsmiths have to live in the wild all year round, especially in the deep mountains.However, there are many treacherous things in the deep mountains, and there are many mountain spirits and tree spirits. If you don't have certain skills, it is impossible to gain a foothold and survive.And as far as I know, there are many strange people in these ancient industries.Take Granny Zhang as an example. She also has some skills, but the more mysterious one is her old man who doesn't show up.A sawmaker also knows Feng Shui, so it is conceivable that her old man must have better methods.

So I firmly believe that Granny Zhang's wife knows some Feng Shui.

Grandma Zhang went on to say: "My old man has seen it near the place where my daughter works. There are two mountain peaks standing side by side, like a pair of scissors. Moreover, the surrounding wind direction is not good, and it will form a whirlwind there. The wind has to go around Only eight bends can flow out. These eight bends directly affect the Feng Shui Bureau there. The toll post stands there, which happens to be in the center of a fierce scissors. Such a boundary can persist for several years without accidents. It's not easy. This is because it is a public facility and has a unique aura of protection. If it were a private place, something would have happened a long time ago. But even so, the scissors' evil point has formed, and the place is not far from the accident gone."

I nodded: "However, these feng shui-related theories can only be discussed in private by yourselves."

"Who said it wasn't?" Grandma Zhang sighed and said, "My old man, I also asked the leader of the toll station..."

"What do you want them to do? You don't want them to move the toll booth?" I asked.

Granny Zhang nodded: "You're right, my old man has that temper. He saw the problem, so he went to the leader of the toll station. Tell them that there is a problem with Feng Shui here, and let them deal with it no matter what. Move this toll station, if possible, it is best to close this toll station."

Grandma Zhang shook her head as she spoke.

In fact, you don’t need to listen to the following words, I know it too.An old man who cut down trees in the mountains, without any background, went to the leader of the toll station and said that he wanted to abolish the toll station.

Sure enough, Grandma Zhang told me that his old man went there five or six times in a row.The first two times, the stationmaster of the toll booth was also the father of the staff in the station, so he came forward to meet him.Later, seeing that the old man was endless, I stopped seeing him.He also warned Granny Zhang's daughter, Zhang Yingying, to persuade her father not to run this way and make trouble for no reason.

The old man Zhang has a bad temper, and his personality is even more stubborn.Seeing that the station master avoided seeing him, he rushed into the office.The two people were not speculative, first they quarreled, and later developed into fighting.Don't look at old man Zhang, who is very old, his body is very strong, and his skills are even more vigorous.He actually beat up the station master.

The webmaster was so angry that he couldn't get over it, so he turned his anger on Zhang Yingying.As a result, Zhang Yingying was not happy working at the toll booth.

Old man Zhang is worried every day, worrying about the Feng Shui problem there.So he started to work for his daughter and asked her to change jobs anyway.He also said that if she didn't change places, the old man would go to the station every day to make trouble.If it doesn't work, go to the main station to find a bigger leader to report the problem.

In the end, Zhang Yingying was also tortured by the old man to the point where she had nothing to do.In addition, working in the station was not going well, so he agreed to his father and wrote a report asking for transfer.

Because Zhang Yingying worked very well during this period of time, she was well received by everyone.The terminal also considered changing Zhang Yingying to a better position to motivate other employees, so the transfer order was quickly issued.

But unfortunately, after the transfer order came down, it happened to be in the hands of the station master.He temporarily withheld the transfer order and did not tell Zhang Yingying, but continued to arrange for her to work overtime.

And that Zhang Yingying looks very beautiful, youthful and beautiful.The station master had been coveting Zhang Yingying's beauty all along. On the day the transfer order was issued, he still arranged for Zhang Yingying to be on the night shift.That night, he was very drunk, and when there were no vehicles passing by, he teased Zhang Yingying and even started to move.

Zhang Yingying was ashamed and refused sternly.But the station master took advantage of the alcohol and got into a beastly attack, and insulted Zhang Yingying in the station.

That night, something happened at the toll booth.

Just around midnight that night, a major landslide occurred on a nearby mountain.The surrounding rocks fell one after another, not only smashing the toll station, but also causing two passenger cars driving on the mountain road to fall to the bottom of the mountain due to the collapse of the road.

Dozens of people were killed or injured in this accident, which caused a great sensation.

When the accident happened, Zhang Yingying had already been insulted by the station master. She was so angry that she wanted to call the police at the toll box, but the box was hit by a rock falling from the mountain on the spot.

Zhang Yingying was not spared either, and her life and death were unknown in the sentry box.

After the disaster happened, relevant departments got the news and quickly launched rescue work.But a large section of the road was blocked by a landslide.The rescue team could not arrive in time, and the work cannot be carried out on a large scale for the time being.

But the news spread like wildfire and soon reached Zhang Yingying's parents.

After the old man Zhang heard this, he beat his chest and stomped his feet, but it didn't help.

They didn't have any specific news about Zhang Yingying at that time, in order to rescue their trapped daughter.Zhang Laotou and his wife went into the mountains overnight to open a road leading to the toll booth.

Because the old man Zhang is well versed in the topography of the mountains, and he is good at judging the orientation of the trees in the mountains.Relying on his ability as a sawsmith, the road he took with his wife was the shortest road to the accident site.

Chapter 651

Old man Zhang and his wife also rushed to the toll booth immediately before dawn.

At that time, the toll booth was in a mess, and all the entrances and exits were blocked by boulders.The head of the station was also hit by a boulder, and the scene was extremely tragic.

The old man Zhang and his wife frantically searched for Zhang Yingying in the station, and finally found Zhang Yingying's clothes fragments and a lot of blood in the toll booth.

And the sentry box was also deformed by the stones, but there was no one in the sentry box.

It's just that they found that the outer iron sheet of the sentry box had been torn open by a person, and the size of the opening was just enough for a person to crawl through.

On the ground outside the sentry box, there were still some bloodstains left by the dragging.

The old man Zhang searched around, but did not find the whereabouts of his daughter Zhang Yingying.From this, he concluded that the daughter did not die, but climbed out of the sentry box.

So the two of them searched along the bloodstain.

The bloodstain continued forward, from the toll booth to the mountain.

The old man Zhang and his wife were very anxious. If this was really left behind by their daughter, it looked like they were seriously injured. If they didn't get treated quickly, it would be very difficult to survive.

So, old man Zhang and Granny Zhang anxiously followed the bloodstain.

The further they walked, the heavier their hearts became, because the traces of blood left on the ground became less and less.

This is not a good sign.

Finally, the two caught up with Zhang Yingying who was struggling to crawl forward in the mountains.When they stepped forward to help Zhang Yingying up, they found that she had been injured by the stone, and her body was covered with bruises.Especially since both legs are broken, and the blood in the body is almost bleeding.

When Zhang Yingying saw her parents, she only said one sentence: "I'm sorry, mom and dad, take care..."

After speaking, she died in the arms of old man Zhang.
