Chapter 43 -43
At midnight, the moonlight is dim. This day is the 23rd day of the lunar calendar. The moon phase is the lower crescent moon. Although there is a moon, it is unclear. The floating clouds around the moon are lingering, which is conjuring.
The thin man and the fat man walked out of the village. They came to the place where we parted at dusk. They walked five hundred steps north first and then five hundred steps west. When they had just reached two hundred steps, they suddenly found themselves walking into the tomb.
There are hundreds of years of dead people in nearby villages buried in the tombs, and countless tombs are numerous. Cypress trees are planted beside each tomb. Some are as big as pagodas, and some are as small as whip poles. There are ghost fires wandering in the tombs, light and dark, sometimes near and sometimes far, as if there is something or not. There are owls laughing from owls, and the sounds are heartbroken.
The thin man and the fat man were frightened. They walked into the tomb with their hands.
They walked to the middle of the tomb, and suddenly an evil ghost three or four feet tall emerged from the tomb, with green faces and fangs and huge figures. When they saw them, the evil ghost laughed and shouted, "Children are coming out quickly, late supper is here."
The thin man and the fat man were so scared that they could no longer care about what the blind fortune teller told him in the afternoon that he could not look back. They screamed strangely and turned around and ran away. The fat man ran to a grave, rolled down, and knocked his head on the tombstone, and his face was full of blood. The thin man met a cypress tree, and the sharp needle-shaped leaves of the cypress tree pierced into his eyes, and his eyes were pitch black.
The fat man got up from the ground and continued to run back. He ran to a huge cypress tree. Suddenly, he saw a man hanging from the cypress tree, with long hair hanging down and pale face. He was a hanged ghost. The fat man was so scared that he almost turned his back and ran to the right. After just a few steps, an evil ghost suddenly appeared in the grave. The evil ghost shook the banana fan and shouted loudly: "Heibai Wuchang, catch this fat man and serve the master."
Hei and Bai Wuchang immediately stood up from the grave and rushed towards the fat man.
The fat man screamed strangely, turned his head and ran away again. Suddenly, he screamed and fell into the abyss.
The thin man was sifted all over and wanted to get up, but he couldn't get up. The evil ghost who was shaking the banana fan slowly walked to him. The thin man stretched out his eyelids with his fingers. Seeing the evil ghost pulling out a mace from his waist, and with one hammer, the thin man stopped making a sound.
After dawn, people walked past the graves, went to the market to buy things, went to the fields to work, visited relatives, and got married and married daughters. No one knew that just last night, two people died here.
It is too easy for those who pretend to be a ghost, because this is their compulsory course.
We had a good idea of this tomb when we came. The second uncle calculated the location of this tomb, so they were asked to walk 500 steps north and 500 steps west, just about to walk into this tomb.
The tomb is flat on three sides and cliffs on one side. We just need to force them to the bottom of the cliff and this plan will be successful.
The evil ghost, who was three or four feet tall, was a prop. We were nestled in an abandoned farmyard at night and made several such props. When the fat man and the thin man came over, I just helped the evil ghost prop up behind the grave, and they were scared to death. They turned their heads and ran away. I pulled the long rope, and the hanged ghost lying on the ground would hang in the air. The hanged ghost was still a prop. At this time, they either ran to the left or to the right. They ran to the right and met the evil ghost dressed in the second uncle holding a banana fan in his hand. The second uncle only said black and white impermanence, and the fat man was frightened, turned around and ran to the bottom of the cliff.
As for the thin man, let alone the second uncle, he would not dare to resist even if I went over and stuck his neck.
Two fierce bandits died like this, and they died in the ghost formation. In fact, there are no ghosts in this world. They are all people who scare themselves and make up ghosts. There is no ghost in their hearts, and they are not afraid of anything.
After the two bandits died, we slept in the grave all night. We pretended to be a god and a ghost all day long, so we would not believe that there were ghosts. Not to mention sleeping in the grave, even if we opened the coffin board and put me and the corpse together, I would not sleep as much as possible.
After dawn, we stood up from the tomb. An old man who got up early to pick up dung, carrying a bamboo cage. He happened to pass by here. When the old man saw us, he was so scared that he ran away and didn't even dare to ask for the bamboo cage.
We walked along that road. After the sun rose to the treetops, we arrived at a fork in the road. I saw the mark of a knife on the tree beside the road, but it was still neatly carved.
After following the knife mark, I walked three or four miles and arrived at a city.
This is the famous Jingmen by the Yangtze River. There was a market in Jingmen that day, and there were crowds of people on the streets and alleys.
Will that woman be here? Will the Shenxing Taibao be here? Even if they are here, how can they find it?
The second uncle asked: "Didou, can you walk on the rope?"
I said, "Yes."
The second uncle said: "There is a tree on this side of the street and there is a tree on the other side of the street. A rope is tied up between the two trees, and you can walk up."
I said, "This is a piece of cake."
The second uncle bought a long rope, and I climbed up the trees on the street and tied the rope. Then, tied the rope around my waist and walked towards the street. Many people stopped watching my strange behavior. After climbing up the branches on the street, I tied the other end of the rope.
I started walking on the ropes.
I walked on the high ropes, and there were crowds of people. First, people let out a scream, but soon they rested. Countless heads raised up and looked at the bright sunshine. I walked on the rope like a dragonfly. My body was as light as a swallow, my body was transparent, I was like a cloud, I was like a wisp of wind, my body and my thoughts were flying proudly under the sky, and the streets were flying proudly. I found that I was born a master of rope walking, and I loved rope walking, far more than I loved physiognomy. I had an unparalleled talent for rope walking, and I was the king of ropes.
The world was quiet, and even the wind held its breath. A little bird perched on the branches and looked at me quietly. For a long time, I have regarded myself as a human being. In fact, I am not a human being, I am a bird. My soul and my body are as free as a bird.
I was intoxicated by the world I imagined, and suddenly I saw a few policemen in black uniforms sent from a distance. Their fat bodies were swaying like ducks, and they were whistling while running. I knew they were coming for me because my rope above everything else caused traffic jams on the street.
I walked to the branch, then slipped down, and ran away like a burst of blue smoke. The police rushed over, and they only saw the ropes stretched high in the air, and they could do nothing.
I ran far away, and suddenly a voice calling me came from behind: "Daigou, Dagou." I turned around and saw that it was Shenxing Taibao who was searching for something without searching.
The second uncle also arrived, and he smiled and said, "I really didn't expect this method to be so useful, I'll find you all at once."
Many years later, some psychologists called the method used by the second uncle a reverse thinking. Since I can’t find you, let yourself be noticed and let you come to find it.
The second uncle asked Shenxing Taibao: "Have that woman been found?"
Shenxing Taibao said: "I found it, it's in the inn."
I asked, "Why are you here all the way?"
The second uncle said: "No need to delay, hurry up and stabilize that woman."
When we arrived at the inn, the woman was sitting at the window facing the street, secretly looking out. Last night, Shenxing Taibao and the woman lived in this inn. This woman was really a guest star, and she met whoever she met.
The second uncle did not ask Shenxing Taibao how this woman rolled onto the bed sheets. He just strictly told Shenxing Taibao that he must keep this woman stable.
Shenxing Taibao said: "Brothers are like brothers and feet, and wives are like clothes. What's more, such a woman can't even be considered a sweatshirt."
The second uncle said, "I will feel relieved if you say this."
The second uncle and I were walking on the street, looking for a pharmacy. We walked for a long time before we saw an old man wearing reading glasses holding a pharmacy to measure medicine. A pharmacy is a very small and accurate pharmacy, made of brass, and is specially used for pharmacy.
The second uncle said to the reading glasses Mr. Reading Glasses: "Shopkeeper, have you seen someone picking Shanghai treasures?"
Mr. Reading Glasses asked: "What? What?"
The second uncle turned around and left, and continued to find the next one. The one who picked Shanghai treasure was a slander, and it was a sold specialty medicine. The second uncle wanted to buy specialty medicine. If he couldn't even understand this sentence, he would definitely not be a person in the world, nor a person in the world, and there would definitely be no specialty medicine that the second uncle wanted.
After walking a few hundred meters, we saw a pharmacy again. This time, the person sitting in the hall was a fat man with shiny hair. The second uncle walked over and asked, "Shopkeeper, have you ever seen someone picking Shanghai treasures?"
The fat man was shocked. He looked up and down at the second uncle and said, "I saw it, I'm afraid you're not a little bit." This means that I have special medicine here, so I'm worried that you won't be able to pay that much money.
The second uncle took out a gold bar from his pocket and placed it on the table. The fat man made a courteous position and said, "Please inside."
The second uncle wanted to buy mute medicine. The master reminded her, "You can't let her tell you about her experiences these days." The second uncle understood it and knew that she wanted to let her swallow mute medicine.
The fat man on the back gave the second uncle a pill that was only the size of a little finger and told him: "Grind it into powder and put it in water, and his feet can cause dumbness."
