Chapter 2 People who have passed through the shadows - Widow Zhou

Speaking of Widow Zhou, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family used to be a celebrity in our village, because she can pass the Yin. According to the elders in the village, what she said about passing the Yin is quite accurate.

The so-called crossing the shadows means going down below to help find other people's deceased relatives, and then let the relatives go to her body to solve some problems of the living people above.

In fact, the widow of that week used to be a very ordinary woman. Her ability to live in the dark only came after her husband passed away. As for how she had it, she kept a secret about it, and the villagers only heard some rumors.

The rumor was told by the second daughter-in-law of the Zhou family and the girl of the Zhou family. It was said that on the night of Zhou Da (the husband of Widow Zhou) in his house, on the night of the first seven days, Widow Zhou ran back to her room for some reason. A west wing room.

The Zhou family did not have a separate family, and the seven members of the family lived together. Originally, the first seven families should avoid it, but they had nowhere to go, so they had to vacate the west wing room where Zhou's widow and his wife lived.

But the widow Zhou ran back in the middle of the night with nagging that day. The family members who were asleep at first didn't know it. It wasn't until the sister-in-law who slept next to her woke up at night that she realized that her sister-in-law was not around.

The sister-in-law didn't care about it at first, maybe the sister-in-law also got up at night, right?But when she left the house and was about to go to the toilet to solve it, she was frightened half to death by the sudden laughter.

After all, it was the eldest brother's first seven, and that laughter sounded particularly scary in the quiet night. At that time, the widow's sister-in-law was only 14 years old. How could she stand up to such a scare?Immediately ran back to the house screaming.

The whole family was woken up like this, and they all ran into the yard. At this time, there was no laughter in the yard, but there was a woman's murmuring, and I didn't know what she was talking about. Listen carefully. I couldn't hear clearly, so I knew it was a woman talking.

Zhou Da went, and Tuesday is the pillar of the house. After all, he is a man. Be more courageous. After listening carefully for a while, Tuesday picked up a stick and said: "I heard that the sound came from the west wing. Yes, I'll go and see what's going on, who is pretending to be a ghost."

On Tuesday, the daughter-in-law refused to let her go on Tuesday. This is the first seven of the elder brother. Rural people are superstitious, and she is afraid that Tuesday will hit the evil.

Just at this moment, there was another burst of laughter. Hearing that sound, I felt that I was laughing happily, but the sound was a bit floating, which made people feel very cold.

"Obviously it's my son's first seven, why is there a female ghost at home?" The old man of the Zhou family sighed, the pain of losing his son was still in his heart. uncomfortable.

"But why does this voice sound like my eldest daughter-in-law's?" Zhou's grandma also said in doubt. When the voice was chattering just now, the accent was so peculiar that they didn't hear anything. But when she laughed now, the sensitive old lady of the Zhou family always felt very familiar.

After Mrs. Zhou said that, the family listened carefully, but it was not the voice of Widow Zhou.

"Forget it, I have to go and see. I'm afraid my sister-in-law is out of anger." Losing a husband in middle age is a great pain in life. Widow Zhou is out of anger because of this. Mental illness, that's okay too.

In addition, the family relationship between people at that time can be said to be very strong, how can there be any reason to ignore it?

Thinking of Tuesday, he clenched the stick in his hand and walked towards the west wing step by step.

It was still the familiar west wing room, but at this moment, the closed door of the west wing room looked so terrifying in Tuesday's eyes, as if when it was pushed open, there was hell behind it.

Walking to the door, Tuesday took a deep breath. In order to give himself courage, he suddenly yelled. Taking advantage of this momentum, he kicked the door hard.

A rural man who has been working all year round has a lot of strength in his kick, but the two firewood gates are not plugged in as Tuesday imagined, but just covered. He fell like a dog and ate shit, and fell straight into the door.

"Second, what's the matter with you?" Old Master Zhou's worried voice came from behind him. He lost a son, and he was very worried that something would happen to his son.

"It's okay, I accidentally fell." Tuesday's voice was muffled. He felt pain from the fall, but he hurriedly answered because he was afraid that his family would worry.

Mr. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, but when he raised his head the next Tuesday, his heart suddenly came to his throat.

The west wing room is not big, it is a bedroom to put it bluntly. People can see the whole room clearly at a glance when they walk in. On Tuesday, before he had time to stand up, he was half kneeling on the ground and was still doing the movement of standing up. lifted up.

At this very moment, he could see the entire west wing clearly. Can he see clearly?At the moment, a dim oil lamp was burning on the only table in the room, and his sister-in-law, Widow Zhou, was facing away from him, but her shoulders shook and she laughed happily.

Originally, such a scene was not enough to scare the man on Tuesday. The reason why his heart was in his throat was because his sister-in-law was in a very weird posture at the moment, with her head tilted and her body leaning, as if she was leaning on something The same as above! What’s even more strange is that there are 2 stools in front of the table, and my sister-in-law sits on one of them. It is said that sitting alone should sit in the middle, otherwise the stool will be overturned, but she is sitting on the edge of the stool. Not moving at all.

Tuesday's voice was tight, and he forgot to stand up, just half kneeling on the ground, he wanted to go out a little bit, this scene was too weird, but in front of him was his own sister-in-law, the elder brother just left, he couldn't ignore it.

Swallowed 2 mouthfuls of saliva hard, and on Tuesday mustered up the courage to shout: "Sister-in-law..."

He stuttered a little, and because he was too nervous, the sentence "sister-in-law" was trembling, but he didn't notice it on Tuesday.

When he shouted, Widow Zhou turned her head. When she turned her head, she was smiling. Under the dim oil lamp, the smile looked weird at first glance. The piece of meat was stiff.

It feels like a clay statue!

"Look, the second child is here..." Widow Zhou stared at Tuesday and said, her eyes were very focused, giving the impression that a cat at night is staring at a statue with all its attention.

In an instant, tears welled up in Tuesday's eyes, which was frightening, he is not a fool, he clearly heard his sister-in-law say a word, see?For whom?

And the voice of my sister-in-law couldn’t be explained on Tuesday. No matter how calm a person’s voice is, there is some anger in it. The so-called anger refers to human emotions, but the voice of my sister-in-law is purely voice. To be precise, the sound is very similar to electronic synthesis.

At this time, I didn’t get up on Tuesday, nor did I continue to kneel, nor did I dare to go forward, nor did I dare to go back, I just felt that the bone in my spine was getting cold.

Suddenly, Widow Zhou who was staring at Tuesday stopped smiling, and her expression instantly became so calm that it was strange, but her eyes were a bit fierce, and she said, "Get out, don't disturb us, you can't enter this room."

He didn't answer on Tuesday, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare to say anything at all. He was extremely scared. It wasn't hysterical anger, accompanied by yelling, or silence. That kind of silence was a kind of wanting to put himself hidden subconscious.

On Tuesday, he was facing his sister-in-law. He couldn't get angry, so he had to keep silent.

He stood up, turned around, and walked out of the west wing on Tuesday, but his back was itchy. It was a feeling after being stared at by something, but he didn't dare to look back, so he had to walk forward weakly. When I went out of the room, I heard a creak, and the chaimen behind me closed by itself.

"Mom..." Tuesday immediately called mother, tears flowed down with a 'wow', and then he ran quickly, but his footsteps were weak, and he fell down after running a few steps, but how dare he Delay a moment?Immediately, he ran towards the family members standing not far away with both hands and feet. The appearance of rolling and crawling was as embarrassing as it could be.

The mother-in-law Zhou felt distressed for a while, padding her little feet, ran two steps quickly, and hurried to support her son: "My son, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom, I think..I think my brother is back." Tuesday didn't have time to wipe away his tears, so he yelled. Apart from explaining the situation just now because his elder brother had returned to his soul for the first time, what else could be explained?

"My dear Zhou..." Hearing these words, old man Zhou suddenly slapped his legs and howled, perhaps hearing his son's soul come back, he couldn't help feeling sad.

During the first seven soul nights, the whole family was really uneasy. Even though they thought it was Zhou Da who came back, because the widow Zhou said don't disturb, and because they were really scared, the family never entered the west wing room again overnight.

This is the story of Widow Zhou that was passed down by Zhou's family. It's really confusing to talk about, but in the villages in this land of China, which village doesn't have a few weird legends?It was even more evil, and there were many things that could not be explained. People talked about it for a while, and then they didn't take it seriously.

Not long after this incident happened, the Zhou family spread the news that the widow Zhou had the ability to pass the yin. Some people first went to see it with the idea of ​​trying it out, but they didn't expect that the widow Zhou was really amazing. Yin's skills are quite reliable. After 2 years, not only several nearby villages knew that Widow Zhou from Xiaowan Village would pass through Yin, even people from the town came here admiringly.

There are three points worth mentioning in this matter.

The first is that the widow Zhou returned to normal after the first seven weeks of the week. I heard that she came out of the west wing that morning and prepared breakfast for the whole family.The only thing is that she has one more problem since then, that is, hiccups, which can hiccup three times a minute, and the sound is so weird that people who see her for the first time will be frightened.

The second is that Widow Zhou strongly asked the family members to seal the windows of the west wing. The windows faced out to the yard, and the lighting was quite good, illuminating the whole room brightly. Who would care about this request if they are not sick?But after that night, people in the family always had an inexplicable awe of Widow Zhou, and Widow Zhou asked, so they did it quickly.In the end, not only the windows were sealed, but thick black cloth curtains were also placed on the doors.

The third is that five months after Zhou Da’s death, the widow Zhou gave birth to a son. People in the village did not gossip about it. All fools know that it must be Zhou Da’s posthumous son. There are old people in the village who say, no wonder Zhou Datouqi made such a mess. The big news must be that he knew that he had a son, and he couldn't leave his orphans and widows behind.But no matter how you say it, the widow and her son had a good life in the village this week, relying on her ability to pass the yin, and even the Zhou family received financial assistance.

If it wasn't for the start of that movement, Widow Zhou might have been in this business until her old age. With these incomes, she could support her son to go to school, work, and marry a wife, but how could history be shifted because of personal will?The Zhou family is now being closely monitored, especially the widow Zhou, who is stared at by several people, and dare not mention the matter of being overcast at all.

No matter how the life of the Zhou family is going, the life of my family is indeed a bit gloomy, and it's all because of me.

My health did not improve. Although on the third day after I was born, my father wrapped me tightly and borrowed a donkey cart to take me to the township health center early in the morning, but the doctor there did not I can see what's wrong with me.

In the end, the doctor just told my dad, "This child is probably malnourished, and he will be fine when he goes back home." He didn't even prescribe any medicine.

On the way back, my dad was in a very depressed mood, saying that the child was malnourished, no way, my mother in the village didn’t say that she was the best-fed and well-maintained pregnant woman, and that was better than most other families. , How can a child be malnourished?Looks weaker than the weakest baby in the village.

My dad couldn't figure it out, but he still chose to trust the doctor. After all, it was just the worst plan to invite Widow Zhou. If he didn't do it, he would hurt his family, not to mention Zhou's family.

After I came back, my dad thought about giving me nourishment. My mother had no milk, so my dad went to a neighboring village to get some from a cow-raising house every day, and exchanged the food at home. Not only milk, but my dad also went to the town The supply and marketing cooperative on the Internet spent a lot of effort to get some nutritional products, anyway, they tried every means to supplement me.

At that time, the children’s conditions were absolutely incomparable with those of today’s children. I was the only one in the village who was treated like this. Not to mention nutritional supplements, even milk every day, many children didn’t even think about it. Children, if they don't eat their mother's milk, most of them will be fed with rice cereal.

Because of giving me nourishment, the life at home is very tight. Naturally, my parents have no complaints for me. What is even more touching is that my two older sisters have no complaints at all.

The eldest sister even said: "Dad, give my brother more milk, my brother is so small, I don't even have the energy to cry."

The two daughters looked at Bai Shengsheng's milk gluttony, everyone could see it, but they were not only not noisy, but also so sensible, which really made my dad very distressed and moved for a while.

Just a word of gossip, speaking of it, my family is not very patriarchal. Over the years, except for a while when I was a child, my two sisters and I have been treated equally.It’s just that in the countryside at that time, it was really hard to talk about not having a son, just because the greatest significance of a son was labor. Without labor, how could a family survive?

In this way, my dad gave me tonic for a month. On the day of my full moon, my father's original firm belief finally collapsed, because when the full moon comes, the child has to be weighed according to the rules to see how much he has grown.

That day, my dad weighed me with an almost pious hope, but the fact hit my dad hard. When I reached the full moon, I only grew 2 taels!

For a long time, my dad has been gritting his teeth and persisting, thinking that maybe the eyes are not growing, but they are actually growing?After the full moon, but to such a result, can my dad not collapse?

"Xiuyun, I think we have to go to Widow Zhou to see this child." That day, after being stunned for a long time, my father finally said that to my mother, which was also the last option.

My mother's heart tightened. To be honest, children who weighed more than 3 catties by the end of the full moon were rare in that era. Such a supplement method, such fine care, is still like this, so it must be wrong. Normal.

If it’s because of a sickness, it’s fine, but the doctors said it’s okay, and my performance at that time was weak, and I didn’t even catch a cold once.Besides, it’s not evil, what is that?

"Old Chen, why don't you, why don't you take another week to see? I've heard that some children don't grow well before the full moon, but they grow very fast after the full moon. Besides... let's say..." My mother hesitated Hard to say.

"What more?" My dad raised his eyebrows and asked, the depression in his heart could not be relieved.

"Besides, that week's widow was overcast, would she know Yin and Yang? It doesn't seem to be compatible with our children's affairs?" My mother hesitated to speak out because she was afraid of ruining my father's only hope.

"I know, but she's the smartest in ten miles and eight villages. Who else can I look for? Besides, Liu Wen's mother also mentioned me, let's ask her to have a look," my father said in a muffled voice, thinking for a while, and suddenly He became brisk again, and said hopefully: "Do you still remember Wang Gou'er's doll? It's the Wang Gou'er I played with since I was a child. Didn't his Wang Zhu bump into Xie when he was 2 years old? Those few days My whole body is cold, I look like a fool, and I'm still drooling, why don't you ask Widow Zhou to look after her?"

"Then go to Widow Zhou, but you have to be careful, don't get caught by those people, or our family will collapse." My mother sighed helplessly, for me, I Mom and Dad finally decided to take a big risk.
