Chapter 15: fool
On the day He Shiqi was born, another strange thing happened, that is, all the dogs in the village barked, and all ran to the old He's house to watch He Shiqi's birth. Since then, wherever He Shiqi went, the dog followed him, and sometimes he would catch rabbits from the mountains and send them to He Shiqi as a tribute.
Therefore, all the dogs in the village, He Shiqi, know each other. They are all brothers who have played with him since he was a child.
He Shiqi immediately went to Wangcai's side, Wangcai looked at him whimperingly, stuck out his tongue and licked his hand, as if saying goodbye to him: brother, let's go first, and let the black dog Laifu catch rabbits for you to eat .
He Shiqi scratched his head in doubt: "Ah Cai, why are you crying? Didn't eat? Go and eat quickly." He Shiqi said, and untied Wangcai's rope.
The whole village is watching Li Xiangu decorate the altar, but no one pays attention to He Shiqi letting go of the dog here.
Seeing that the rope was untied, Wangcai ran away into the dog's hole without looking back.
He Shiqi still smiled and waved his hands: "Hurry up and eat, don't be hungry anymore." After speaking, he turned his head and continued to look for Lian Youyou, but saw that Lian Youyou had already squeezed to the front, approaching Liu Qiang's body.
"Shang—incense—" Li Xiangu stretched out her hand, and the attendants presented three tall incense sticks that were half a meter high. Li Xiangu worshiped with a high incense stick in her hand, inserted it into the huge incense burner, and then turned her hands to the sky, and began to mutter: "Enah"
The surrounding villagers immediately became nervous, watching intently, without taking their eyes off, even though Lian Youyou was close to the corpse, no one noticed.
"Heaven Lingling—EnEarth LinglingAh" Li Xiangu danced while chanting, the mantra in her mouth was vague, and others thought she was chanting the mantra, but in fact she might be chanting today what to eat.
Li Xiangu turned around and stopped suddenly, staring straight ahead with her snow-white eyes, exclaiming: "What are you doing?!"
Everyone followed Li Xiangu's hand and saw Lian Youyou reaching out to touch the corpse. Everyone showed terrified eyes and exclaimed in fright. Some people actually like to touch corpses, what a pervert!
Lian Youyou paused her hands in mid-air, and stared at Li Xiangu, black eyes to white eyes. Suddenly, Lian Youyou smiled at Li Xiangu, but there was a slight chill in her black eyes.
Immediately, Li Xiangu felt an inexplicable sense of fear, and this fear swept her whole body in Lian Youyou's smile. Her white eyes widened in horror, and she felt that Lian Youyou seemed to be able to see through her thoroughly and see through all her tricks, making it impossible for her to gain a foothold in the magic stick world!
"Whose girl is this, what are you doing!"
"Take it away! I'm here to hinder Xiangu from doing things!"
Everyone panicked, not because Lian Youyou dared to touch the corpse, but because she was afraid of offending Xiangu.
Sure enough, Xiangu was angry: "Where is the stupid girl, making trouble here and offending the gods!"
I don't know who made the rules. Whenever the fairy girl recites the mantra, it means that the gods have begun to ascend. Which fairy is so free, willing to take the body of a menopausal old virgin?
The nephews of Liu Qiang's family immediately rushed forward angrily, trying to drag Lian Youyou away.
"What are you doing—" With a sudden roar, He Shiqi rushed out and stood in front of Lian Youyou, "None of you are allowed to touch my master! Go away! Go away!"
Everyone was stunned, isn't this idiot He Shiqi?
"Hey! Isn't this a fool from the next village?!"
"Yes! That's him. He's famously handsome, but unfortunately he's just a fool."
"This idiot actually protects that girl, isn't he an idiot?"
"That's an idiot" The Nancun people who came to see the excitement said, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone around them.
The people of Nancun began to speak.
"The one Ah Qi carried down from the mountain yesterday was a fool. The old He family wants to stay and be Ah Qi's wife."
"Oh" Everyone nodded suddenly, but they didn't see the old Mr. and Mrs. He shivering behind them, so they didn't dare to let their son marry a witch.
"She, she's not a fool." Lin Yuniang said tremblingly, everyone heard her voice and looked at her in unison, and she pointed to Lian Youyou in the courtyard in fear, "She, she, she might be... yes ..." Lin Yuniang trembled and did not dare to say that Lian Youyou was a monster, she shrank behind her old man, peeping at Lian Youyou in fear.
What is it? The villagers are puzzled, is this Aqiniang also stupid today? How can I say it is not easy.
Lian Youyou was behind He Shiqi, touching her chin with her right hand, and was still staring at the corpse with an expression that made one's heart shudder. How can a normal person stare at a dead body?
"Hey! Where's the black dog! Why is the black dog gone!" Finally someone noticed that the black dog had disappeared, and all of a sudden, the yard was full of wild animals. The black dog is the most important thing in doing things. Without the black dog, it is like decoction without medicine, which makes people panic.
"Look for it!"
"How can we exorcise evil spirits without the black dog!"
"Everyone, go and catch it again! If this evil spirit can't go away, our whole village will suffer!"
In the chaos of people coming and going, only Lian Youyou stood firmly in it, she stretched out her hand directly, "Wow!", and lifted the white cloth off Liu Qiang's body!
Great summer!
The body stinks after leaving it for a day!
Why cover the cloth? In addition to respecting the dead and not letting the corpse scare people, there is actually another purpose to suppress the smell of the corpse.
Lian Youyou's lift was like lifting off the roof of a latrine, and the indescribable sour smell instantly permeated the entire yard. Immediately, all the people who were in a hurry to find the black dog stopped in their tracks, and the villagers outside the courtyard gate on the top of the wall quickly covered their noses.
But even so, it didn't scare off everyone's enthusiasm for watching the excitement, and they covered their noses one after another, holding back the stench and continuing. How boring this mountain is.
"Ah—you crazy woman—A Qiang—" Liu Qiang's mother screamed immediately, and rushed towards Lian Youyou, "You crazy woman—crazy woman—"
"What are you doing!" He Shiqi stood up in front of Liu Qiang's mother and yelled, "You are the crazy woman—stay away from my master—" He Shiqi's ferocious roar scared the Liu family.
Throughout the ages, common people have an inexplicable fear of fools.
"Don't make noise." Just as everyone was standing still, Lian Youyou suddenly raised her hand, but her eyes were still fixed on the rotten body of Liu Qiang, whose skin was dripping with water, "I just want to see how he died, shhh —" Lian Youyou raised her index finger and walked around the courtyard.
Everyone stared at her blankly, it should be said that they were suddenly taken aback by this sentence. What? This crazy woman wants to see how Liu Qiang died?
The next moment, Lian Youyou put her hand on top of Liu Qiang's already blackened face.
