I live in Miao Village

"Mr. Xue, have you heard of the Gu technique of our Miao people?"

"I've heard of it." Xue Yixin thought it was true, that Granny Qiao really knew Gu skills, but she still looked as usual. When she saw that she was about to tell a story, she took out the recording pen, "Aunt Zhenhua, can I record what you said?" ? I really like listening to stories, I’m afraid I’ll forget.”

"Yes, but you must not use this thing against that Granny Qiao. She doesn't like outsiders, especially those from the city."

"Why?" Xue Yi helped his glasses.

"Because her husband was killed by someone from the city. This happened a few years ago. In [-] or [-], her husband went to the mountains to work as a bandit for a few years. Later, he surrendered his gun to the government. , said that as long as he is a good person, the previous things will be left alone. How could he know that when the Cultural Revolution broke out later, her husband would be arrested to criticize|struggle. She is a countryman, she doesn't understand, she thinks her husband will be arrested and beheaded, crying and shouting If you don’t let me, tell the person who came to arrest her husband, if you dare to arrest my husband, I will let you be like toads in the ditch (that is, toads), with sores on your face, pus on your hands, and being tortured at home. The ghost presses the bed, the ghost beats the wall outside, and is haunted by little ghosts for life after life.

Those people don't believe it, saying that you are a feudal superstition.The couple simply took away the critics|dou, let them wear tall hats and signs, and bask in the sun, saying that no amount of feudal superstition, ghosts and snakes can match the sun of socialism!Unexpectedly, on the same day, when the sun went down, those who had touched Grandma Qiao had sores and pus on their hands. The Miao people who knew the situation said that Grandma Qiao was a voodoo girl who could use voodoo techniques very evilly. Let the couple go, beg hard, maybe they will be saved.Those people refused to bow their heads to the feudal superstition. Some people scratched their faces, some stunned their heads, and they finally endured until dawn. "

"It's strange to say that the next day when the sun was shining, the scars on those people's faces were still there, but they didn't ooze pus or hurt anymore. Those people thought they were cured, and continued to criticize|fight them. Who would have thought It started to hurt again at night, and the pus flowed more than the night before, and the pain became worse each time, and finally fell asleep, and it was really like being pressed by a ghost. They can't wake up at all, and some people can't wake up even if they beat gongs and drums and pour cold water and hot water. Others think they are dead, but when they touch them, there is still air in their nostrils, and they are not cold.

What's even more bizarre is that the one with the least scars and the lightest pain fell asleep one night and suddenly disappeared. Even her wife didn't know where he went. It wasn't until a few days later that he came back and said no. Knowing what was wrong with him, he actually slept on the grain drying field fifty miles away.People were in pain and fear, and they went to ask Grandma Qiao, but Grandma Qiao was vicious by nature, so she would not save them. Those people thought of her vicious curse, knew that they would not survive, but dared not touch her, so they pointed their knives at her. Her husband forced her to remove the gu, but who would have thought that his husband, who was sunburned and hungry in the sun, fell forward and fell on the knife edge.Grandma Qiao threw herself on her husband's body with a plop, crying with blood in her eyes, and looked at those people angrily. "

"What happened later? Did those people die?"

"No, then in [-], Secretary Fang came to teach in our place and healed those people. After the Cultural Revolution ended, the government rehabilitated those who were wronged. The people sent to us in the city except Secretary Fang went back, but I didn’t know about it later.”

"Mom, you're promoting feudal superstition again, and you've told me this story many times." With rice grains stuck to his face, Wang Chengwen pulled Xue Yi and said, "Teacher, you're so powerful, you definitely don't believe in these things, right? "

"Uh, ah, yes, I don't believe it." Xue Yi said calmly.

"I don't believe it either, but didn't you hear what your grandma said? Those who met Grandma Qiao were either dead or disabled when they returned to the city. What did Granny Qiao do?" Aunt Zhenhua said to Wang Chengwen seriously. Said: "Do you still remember the story your grandmother told you? This kind of old woman likes to harm children the most. In the eighth generation of ancient times, a daughter-in-law went back to her natal family to visit relatives. On the way, she met an old woman. The old woman said: 'Your family The baby is so beautiful. I wish I had a grandson who was so beautiful. I didn’t bring anything with me when I went out. I’ll give you a freshly cooked corn.’ The daughter-in-law thought she was kind and took it, but she didn’t expect to arrive at her mother’s house soon At that time, the child didn’t leave, saying that the corn that the old woman gave was really sweet, and he wanted more, but he went back to find the old woman by himself, her mother couldn’t hold her back, and then..."

Aunt Zhenhua was excited, and Brother Jin continued, "If grandma hadn't come out to pick them up when she saw that the mother and son were late, the young daughter-in-law would have been dragged by her son to find the old woman."

Wang Chengwen continued: "When grandma saw her grandson's appearance, she knew he had been bewitched, so she hurriedly called someone in the village who could dispel the gu, filled him with plant ash, and spit out a mouthful of black water."

Aunt Zhenhua: "How do you two know?"

Wang Chengwen: "Because you have told me many times."

"Even I can recite it, Auntie." Brother Jin quickly filled his mouth with chopsticks, "We're full, Cheng Wen, Ah Ying, let's go play."

"Is it ready to eat now?" Aunt Zhenhua saw Jin Ge and Cheng Wen casually shoveled a couple of mouthfuls of rice and ran out to play. She chased after him and shouted several times but couldn't get back. Seeing that Ah Ying was still eating slowly, Aunt Zhenhua felt a little relieved: "Aying, eat slowly, don't be like them..."

"Auntie, in fact, I'm ready to eat." Ah Ying quickly put down her chopsticks, slipped under Aunt Zhenhua's armpit, and slipped out, a voice came from a distance, "Chengwen, wait for me. "

Aunt Zhenhua shook her head and said to Xue Yi: "Mr. Xue, don't blame me for promoting feudal superstition. Children are disobedient. You should scare them more."

It turned out that it was just a scare, Xue Yi heaved a sigh of relief, if this happened, it would be terrible.

But Aunt Zhenhua said again: "But you still have to be careful. The former party branch secretary of our village was cursed to death by that Granny Qiao."

Um?Xue Yi looked at Aunt Zhenhua curiously.

Seeing that she was interested, Aunt Zhenhua continued: "Shu Fang is a good person just like you. He traveled thousands of miles to come to our poor place to teach. It's a pity that Grandma Qiao hated the people who came from the city for killing her husband, so she followed her." Remember Fang Zhishu who cleared up her husband's grievances. He has been cursing him for so many years. Fang Zhishu's health deteriorated and he died of illness. You must stay away from that Granny Qiao. Don't be like Fang Zhishu. Where can we find it? A young, beautiful and hard-working teacher like you?"

Xue Yi laughed a few times in embarrassment, and Aunt Zhenhua knew that she had said something wrong, so she even poohed several times, "Mr. I’ve been listening to nonsense.”

"It's okay, I don't believe this." Xue Yi glanced at the barrage that only she could see, and the barrage was full: [Anchor, look at what is behind you. ]

Xue Yi smiled secretly, the barrage is really not a big deal, and he grasped the key point from Aunt Zhenhua's unclear words, "Aunt Zhenhua, before me, was there a party secretary who came here to teach?"

"That's right, Fang Zhishu is from the city. He came from far away. He caught up with the educated youth. He came here for two years. He taught and healed diseases. Then he went back, but within a few years, He is here again, this time he will not leave, he led us to open up wasteland to plant trees, pave roads and build bridges, everyone in the village likes him, and chose him as the village party secretary."

Xue Yi faintly thought of something, and asked, "What's the name of this village party secretary?"

"Only food is stored."

"Fang Cunliang." Xue Yi smiled, thinking that I guessed it right, and said to Aunt Zhenhua, "I guess, after he went back in 78, he went there for four years and came back in [-], right?"

"Yes, Mr. Xue, you are amazing, how do you know?" Aunt Zhenhua was curious.

In fact, not only she is curious, but the audience in another time and space are also curious.

Xue Yixiao said: "I saw a piano in the school, engraved with 'December 1982, 12, Shanghai Hongkou stored grain'. At that time, I thought it was strange when I saw Shanghai Hongkou stored grain. There was a space for a word, so I guessed that this piano should be brought by a person named Cunliang from Hongkou, Shanghai on December 17, 1982. Of course, it is also possible that he is from Hongkou, Shanghai, or that the piano was brought in Hongkou, Shanghai. Made in Hongkou, Shanghai, just now I heard you say his name is Fang Cunliang, so I thought of it."

"Yeah, why didn't I expect that, Mr. Xue, you are as smart as Fang Zhishu. I believe that in a short time, everyone will like you as much as Fang Zhishu."

"Well, haha, yes." Xue Yiqian replied with a smile, and always felt that these words were strange, like Secretary Fang, wouldn't he be killed by Granny Qiao early like him, right?

Xue Yi finished her meal and went back to her bamboo building for a lunch break in a low mood. Seeing that she was depressed, the audience seemed to be frightened, so they stopped tricking her to look back and asked worriedly: [Anchor, are you really scared? ? ]

"No, I just think that Fang Zhishu is so great. For them, Shanghai in this era is a very prosperous and lively metropolis. Many people are too crowded to have a house there. He actually came from Shanghai to this place. It’s really great to come from a remote village.”

[Is it really just that?I don't think you're in the right mood. ]

"What's wrong? Let's just tell the most bizarre story. The sores and pus are healed when they meet the sun, but they start to hurt again when the sun is gone. If this is true, people in this era don't know what's going on. , don’t you guys know? I think the so-called Gu is like a kind of bacteria, a kind of bacteria that is highly contagious but extremely sensitive to light. It can cause the situation that Aunt Zhenhua said, but whether it is true or not depends on No one knows."

Xue Yi saw that the barrage looked like it used to, and spread his hands and said, "Are you modern people?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Aunt Zhenhua's heart-piercing crying from outside, and ran out of the window to see that Aunt Zhenhua was holding Chengwen, followed by a group of people who were walking and cursing.

"What's the matter, Aunt Zhenhua?" Xue Yi ran down in a hurry, and before he reached Aunt Zhenhua, he saw several red envelopes growing on the back of Wang Chengwen's hand hanging in front of him.

"Chengwen, why are you so disobedient? I told you to stay away from that dead woman. You just didn't listen. You just went out for a while, and it became like this. How can you tell me to tell your dad? I'm just you Son, if something happens to you, how can I live, ah..."

"What's going on?" Seeing Brother Jin being hugged by an adult, his left cheek was red and swollen, and he was unconscious, his heart sank. How to ask, just cry, don't speak.

Hearing Aunt Zhenhua's cry, everyone felt terrified. Brother Jin's father frowned, "Let's go find Grandma Qiao. If she doesn't save my son, I'll fight her."
