Chapter 335

According to folklore, herbivores like cattle and horses have dark eyes that human beings do not have.

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

Here, please allow my brother to be wordy. Don't gush.

When I was seven or eight years old, my family raised a jujube pony and used it to farm land, pull crops and sell agricultural products in the city (in the mid-1980s, there was no ban on livestock carts in the city, and rural people would use cattle and horses to pull cabbage and watermelon produced in their fields to sell in the city).

In the summer of that year, my father and I drove a carriage of watermelons to the city at about nine o'clock in the evening.

At that time, it was good to have a carriage at home. Most of the people used people to pull the scooter. They started from home at six or seven in the afternoon.

At about one o'clock in the morning, we met several neighbors on the same street on the way. They were husband and wife or brother and sister. They brought a scooter into the city to sell watermelons. Because the trip was smooth that day, my father slowed down the speed and talked with them.

Now think about that time, it's really incredible that many people even pull more than 1000 kg of watermelon on foot and drive about 50 kilometers in the night. When they go back home, it's already the evening of the next day, and people still like dancing because they can sell more than one cent per kilogram of watermelon.

Although there is a carriage in our family, it is also heavy. My father is a man who cherishes animals. Even if his legs are not convenient, he always walks with a whip. However, I am too young to be tired after walking for a few hours. I climb on the watermelon cart and lie on my back to look at the stars.

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

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

In my boredom, I lie on the watermelon heap and listen 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 a large area of trees and farmland, and there was no light around.

Father and they walked, I felt a little sleepy, unconsciously closed my eyes, just about to sleep, suddenly felt the car stopped, and then our little jujube red horse, suddenly hit a big nose.

The father, who was talking, was puzzled. He pulled the reins and called out, "fight!"

This time, however, he did not listen to his words. His head was held high, and his blue eyes looked at the front with fear and vigilance. He snorted vigorously, and his front hooves strode hard on the road, even retreating.

At this time, an old man of his family suddenly said, "ah, no, we have encountered dirty things."

There is a legend here that horses, cattle and other animals have dark eyes, and they can see dirty things that human beings can't see, such as the legendary ghosts of solitary souls and wolf spirits of yellow rats and so on.

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

The father and others also know this saying. They have heard of a brother from a neighboring village pulling a cart to sell vegetables. As a result, they encounter dirty things on the way and drive around the graveyard all night. Human beings can't see those things. For example, the old man called "ghost hitting the wall.".

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

All of a sudden, their father and their panic, or that old man has experience, quickly called on everyone to take out a flashlight to turn on, no flashlight light on the dry 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, regardless of men and women, lit flashlights and lit up dry cigarettes.

A few young and bold young men carried a flashlight in his left hand and a stick in his right hand (the stick is used to carry weight when selling watermelon, and it is also used for self-defense. It is very strong and easy to handle). According to the master's command, they slowly searched along the middle of the road.

According to folklore, the road of the world is the river of the underworld. Ghosts and ghosts can only walk on both sides of the river (that is, on both sides of the road). If they want to cross the river, they have to go to the crossroads (the intersection is the intersection of yin and Yang, which is also the bridge of the underworld. In the early days, many people would burn paper at the crossroads on the day of Qingming Festival, which is related to ghosts and gods It is a kind of good virtue to give money to the wild ghosts who can return home, but they will never leave their own name and address, so as to avoid meeting those greedy wild ghosts who will often harass them).

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

The young men were young and full of Yang. In addition, there were many people and some guys in their hands, so they were not afraid at all. They were all swearing and waving sticks. After walking for more than 100 meters, they saw nothing but a pile of paper burning ashes under a crooked neck tree.Strange to say, after the boys lit up their flashlights and walked around with sticks, my jujube red horse no longer panicked and became obedient again. His father took the reins and quickly walked through the road.

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

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

I remember clearly that the watermelon of our party sold the highest and fastest price that day. Before 3:00 p.m., all the watermelons were sold out, and everyone happily got home three hours in advance.

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 at the section where my jujube horse was suddenly frightened.

In folk customs, abnormal deaths such as hanging and drowning are all considered as rampant deaths. They can not enter into the reincarnation of the underworld. They can only be a ghost without enjoying the "welfare treatment" of the underworld. Therefore, those things will be reluctant to run out in the middle of the night to frighten people.

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

When she was happy, she not only let us go, but also helped us "prosper in business".

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

Well, it's a little bit far, some too much, don't blame.

In fact, it's not boring gossip. It's really my brother's own experience when he was young. Although it's very insidious in retrospect, it's still a little warm compared with the modern nonsense ghost stories.

Don't talk about it. The book is back to the truth!

Gao Fei strangled the camel and turned to look at the dark ghost sand. He asked Tietu curiously, "are you evil? What's the devil? Why didn't I see it

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

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

Gao Fei scolded, but he no longer doubted Tietu's words. When he was a child in the orphanage, he had heard Liang Ming's grandmother talk about the legend that animals have dark eyes and can see dirty things. Camel is also a kind of livestock. It seems very normal that people can see dirty things.

Just now the camels turned around and ran wildly. At least they had to run for two or three kilometers. All of them had big nostrils, gasping and frightened.

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

Iron Tu tightly pursed the corner of his mouth and said faintly, "we will go back."

Ye Xinshang wondered: "go back again? Will camels like it

We dare not wait until the distance is too far for us to walk. In fact, I'm a little puzzled. How did Lao Liu drive away the 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 might as well walk in and put the camels somewhere. Well, no more. Let's go. "

After a torrential rain, after a series of strange things, such as ghost town, ghost woman, Gaofei's mental loss and camel warning, the four people no longer dare to be careless, and they all grasp their weapons and force the camel to turn around again.

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

On the way back, Tietu, who was in front of him, used an infrared telescope with night vision function to search the front carefully.

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

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

This time, camels once again showed people their incredible warning. As soon as the camel under Tietu's crotch snorted, it began to retreat.

"Woo!"

Tietu drank softly, jumped off the camel, led it back more than ten meters, and then said in a deep voice: "everybody tie the reins together, and then tie a hoof of each camel together, so that they can't go anywhere. They can only wait for us here."

Qincheng City worried to ask: "we bound the camel, if came to the sand wolf and other wild animals, did not harm them?"

Tietu shook his head: "it doesn't matter. In desert legend, wild animals will not come to the ghost sand area."

Soon, Gao Fei and his three men tied the reins of the camels together according to Tietu's words, and connected one of their hooves with a rope.Qincheng City patted a camel and said in a soft voice, "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 City, raised its neck and called out loud.

Since the camel did not want to move forward, Gaofei's four men had to pack all the necessary items into their bags and carry them on their backs. They followed the iron butcher holding a brass compass and walked to the area where the camels stopped.
