Ghost Blows Out the Light

I winked at Big Gold Tooth and Fatty, and took Li Chunlai to a dumpling restaurant on the adjacent street. This mutton dumpling restaurant is well-known nearby. The owner and his wife are loyal businessmen. The dumpling fillings are big and full, and the flavor is unique. Not only is it affordable, but the environment is also very clean.

It’s almost noon now, and it’s almost time to eat. There are more and more people eating. I often come here to eat. I know the owner and the couple very well. To say hello, the proprietress of the dumpling restaurant took us into the kitchen. The warehouse set up a table for us, set up chairs and bowls and chopsticks, and went outside to do business.

This place is a single room where I specialize in business. There is nothing else in the warehouse except bags of flour. Every time I finish eating, I don’t ask the shopkeeper to give me any change, which is considered a single room fee.

I said to Li Chun: "Brother Chunlai, do you think this place is quiet enough, should you show me that little flowered shoe?"

Li Chunlai was already taken away by the smell of dumplings wafting in from outside. He turned a deaf ear to my words and couldn't wait to eat.

Seeing this, I had no choice but to smile wryly. I pushed his arm and said, "Don't worry, the proprietress will bring it in for us when it's cooked. If your shoe can be sold at a good price, you can eat the whole meatball every day." The mutton dumplings are also fine."

Li Chunlai came back to his senses after being pushed by me. After listening to my words, he shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, after the money is exchanged, I will marry a mother-in-law and have a baby."

I smiled and said, "You haven't married a wife yet? I haven't married either. Why worry about marrying a wife? When you have money, you can marry Mizhi's mother-in-law. Don't you mean Mizhi's mother-in-law Suide?" Are you a man, can you tell me what is so good about this Mizhi's mother-in-law?"

Li Chunlai is not as restrained as he used to be to me. Hearing my question, he replied: "Hey, that Mizhi's aunt is like the red window grilles. If I can marry a Mizhi's aunt, It's all right."

While talking, the proprietress brought up the steaming dumplings, and brought in two bottles of beer. Li Chunlai didn't care to talk anymore, and put the dumplings one by one, at the price of water, into his mouth.

I looked at him and thought that two catties of dumplings might not be enough, so I quickly asked the proprietress to cook another two catties, then poured some vinegar into the small dish in front of Li Chunlai, and said to him: "Brother Chunlai, this There are no sour soup dumplings that your people like to eat nearby, so you can eat some of this, there is vinegar here, and drink some beer."

Li Chunlai stuffed several dumplings in his mouth, he just buried his head in eating and drinking, and stopped talking. I waited until he was almost finished eating, and then I talked to him about the embroidered shoe.

Li Chunlai had already trusted me very much at this time, so he took out the embroidered shoe from the broken leather bag and showed it to me.

During this period of time, I have come into contact with antique artifacts a lot, and I am already half an expert. I hold the embroidered shoe in my hand and look at it. Peony flowers are embroidered with blue, gold and red silk thread, and the sandalwood sole has a sandwich in the middle, which can hold spices.

Judging from the appearance and embroidery patterns, it is something from the Ming Dynasty. Not many women in Shaanxi bind their feet, and if they do, most of them are from rich families, so the craftsmanship of these shoes is quite particular.

If the big gold teeth were here, he would be able to know the origin of the shoes by smelling them with his nose. Jinlian's embroidered incense-soled shoes are a hot item and very valuable for collection.

I asked Li Chunlai where the shoes came from, and Li Chunlai didn't hide anything, and said it in detail:

In their place, there have been nine droughts in ten years, and it caught up with a severe drought this year. There was not a single rain in the sky.

"Drought bone piles" are also known as "drought piles" among the people. Before liberation, many people used them in the Central Plains. This custom existed in remote areas of Henan, Shandong, and Shaanxi provinces.

Li Chun came to his village to pray for rain, and used all kinds of tricks. There was a blind man in the village who could tell fortunes.

Everyone asked him where there was a drought, but the blind man counted for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. At this time, a sheep herding boy said that when he was herding sheep, he saw a green child in the long-abandoned cemetery at the east end of the village. I entered an unowned coffin, and I don't know which coffin it belonged to. No one in the village has buried people in that cemetery for a long time, and this broken coffin has not been buried in the ground for some reason.

When the blind man who knew fortunetelling heard this, he insisted that Hanba was hiding in this coffin. As soon as the villagers discussed it, they prepared to open the coffin to see if there was any Hanba.

When the village head disagreed, he said that the blind man was talking nonsense, and the blind man also lost his temper. He made a bet with the village head that if he could not find Hanba in the unowned coffin, he would give the blind man’s son to the village head in the future. The family keeps sheep for one year.

As a result, the villagers all went to the deserted tomb in the east. No one could tell where the coffin came from, and few people came to this cemetery. Just do what you say, and lift the lid of the coffin with your hands.

As soon as the lid of the coffin was opened, there was only a stench, like the smell produced by a large pile of stinky fish after being exposed to the sun, as bad as it could be.

A few brave ones and those who were not afraid of death held their noses and moved closer. They were shocked when they saw the inside. There was a female corpse lying in the coffin. The clothes and jewelry on her body were well preserved, and they were all like new The clothes are the same, but looking at the clothes, they are by no means modern. This is an ancient corpse.

Although the clothing was as good as new, the body was already dry, and the muscles and skin were like dead bark.

Just above the head of the female corpse, squatted a little green-haired monster, naked, only about seven inches long, and this little green-haired monkey was still alive, curled up to sleep.

After hearing what the villagers said, the blind man firmly insisted that this little green-haired monster is the Hanba. He must be killed immediately, and then whipped. It's hard to find them.

A few brave villagers took the little green-haired monster out of the coffin, smashed it to death with a hammer, and then beat it with a whip. The strange thing is that the monster didn't bleed. A lot of black gas came out, and finally it was beaten to death, and no more black gas came out, and then it was burned to ashes with a fire.

It was dusk at this time, and the villagers asked the blind man what to do with the female corpse in the coffin?The blind man said that if you keep it, it will be a disaster sooner or later, and it is better for people to burn it together as soon as possible, and no one should take the contents.

At first, everyone hesitated. After all, the corpse in this coffin was not modern, and there were many gold and silver ornaments, so it would be a pity to burn it.

While the villagers were still hesitating, the dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker, and there was a faint sound of thunder. It seemed that it would soon rain heavily. Everyone cheered, and what they said to the blind man changed from dubious to godlike .

Since the blind man said that the coffin must be burned, it must be burned. In the end, the village chief decided to let Li Chunlai stay and light the coffin. Scalp to stay.

In order to burn the coffin before it rained, he hurriedly brought several bundles of dry firewood, randomly piled them under the coffin, lit a fire, and started burning.

Li Chunlai squatted beside him and stared at him. He was a poor bachelor. He was almost forty and had no money to marry his mother-in-law. At this time, thinking of the gold and silver in the coffin, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. Unfortunately, he didn't dare to take it just now. It burned up, and I couldn’t get it even if I wanted to. I don’t know if it’s worth it if it’s burnt.

Li Chunlai was feeling extremely sorry, when suddenly white light flashed, three or four thunders exploded in the sky, and heavy rain poured down, immediately dousing the half-burned flames.
