The Wind Rises the Sky Chapter 3 The Old Earth House
A strange voice echoed outside the door. Yue Jianghong felt extremely furious when he listened to the strange voice.
"The village chief said that there are ghosts in the woods outside the village, and they will come out to eat people at night. Could it be that they want to eat me!" Yue Jianghong kept muttering in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of the scary stories that the village chief Yue told when he was a child.
One of them is a little ghost with his tongue sticking out, who walked out of the woods at night and looked for food everywhere. The little ghost saw a person, and the person could not see him, and the little ghost quietly approached the person. Although the person could not see the little ghost, the little ghost was still extremely careful, afraid that the person would run away.
The little ghost approached the person, grabbed the person's neck, pulled out the person's soul from the top of his head with his other hand, and then twisted it into a twist, and ate the person's soul like eating twist. And the person seemed to be hanging, and his tongue spit out long.
Yue Jianghong didn't know what the ghost looked like, nor did he know what the soul was, but this story was really scary, which made him dare not go to the woods again for a long time.
Moreover, Yue Jianghong remembered that the old master Yue said that the sound of ghosts was a whimpering sound.
He couldn't help but curl up in the corner of the wall and kept muttering: "The passerby's ghost and gods have not had enough food since he was a child. He didn't have two taels of meat on his body, so it would definitely not taste good. Please let the ghost and gods go and eat more when the kid comes. If you grow meat, you will give it to the ghost and gods for food."
The voice outside ignored him, and he then tentatively said: "The second fat man from the Jiang family in Qianmura is very meaty. The ghosts and gods can go and eat him. His meat is very fragrant, and I want to eat him very much."
There are four surnames in Jianglin Village, the first surname is Jiang. There are now three families. The third family has a child named Jiang Erpang. He is very fat and has a good relationship with Yue Jianghong. The two of them sneak into the woods from time to time to find out whether what Mr. Yue said was true. Unfortunately, they returned in disappointment every time.
The sound outside still ignored him and kept calling out, as if the ghost was crying, and as if the wind was sweeping through the woods.
Fortunately, Yue Jianghong did not see any ghost entering the house. By the second half of the night, Yue Jianghong couldn't help feeling sleepy and fell asleep.
On weekdays, Yue Jianghong slept in the haystacks in Yue Zhong's yard at night. Lying on the haystacks, you can see Gushan, the moon on Gushan, and the stars by the moon. That was his most comfortable time, and the moonlight shone on his body, washing away all his fatigue.
When it comes to rain and snow, Yue Jianghong will sleep in the old house. He was born in these two old houses and naturally felt intimate about these two houses. Sleeping in his old house, he had a different kind of peace of mind.
The old house belonged to Yue Zhong and his wife in name, and Yue Zhong and his wife wanted to resell the house several times. When Yue Jianghong was four years old, the old house was indeed sold. The Jiang Bo family fell in love with it and spent a bag of fine wheat. Because at that time, the second aunt Yue Jianghong was pregnant, and the Jiang Bo family had an extra hen, and Yue Zhong agreed.
However, the night when Jiang Bo's family moved in, the old Tuwu House was haunted. One night, the old Tuwu House was surrounded by whispering ghost crying. In the second half of the night, there were still footsteps and whispers from people. Jiang Bo's family was so scared that they ran away before dawn and came back to move things the next day.
From that day on, the old mud house of Yue Jianghong's family became a haunted house, and no one had the idea of buying it again.
For this reason, the Jiang Bo family and the Yue Zhong family had a quarrel. After the persuasion of the old master Yue, Yue Zhong returned the bag of fine wheat, but the old hen had been stewed to nourish Yue Zhong's wife and could not repay it. The two families had some grudges because of this.
In short, Laotuwu returned to Yue Zhong's name and did not leave. Yue Jianghong felt a little calm.
As for what the Jiang Bo family heard in the old house of Yue Jianghong’s house that night, no one knew. Jiang Bo was very secretive about what happened that night, and since then, he has not mentioned anything.
However, this further deepened the strange color of the old house.
Yue Jianghong has been sleeping in an old house for a long time, and has become a strange existence in the village, which further deepens his identity as an "unknown person".
Even Yue Jianghong did not expect that his identity as an "oggy person" was not only the beginning of his tragedy, but also the "umbrella" for his protection. Because of the strangeness that was shrouded in him, no one in the village dared to be too much about him.
When he was seven years old, once, the third aunt of the Zhu family grabbed his ear, but she was blinded by a huge bird that night. She thought she would be blind all her life, but by the second year, her eyes miraculously recovered. However, the blindness of a year made her never dare to touch Yue Jianghong again.
Jiang He, the eldest son of Jiang Erbo’s family, threw stones behind Yue Jianghong’s eight-year-old, causing Yue Jianghong to fall into a pile of cow dung. That night, Jianghe was bitten by a snake and foamed at the spot and died, but was not rescued.
From then on, no one dared to attack Yue Jianghong, and could only show off his verbal advantage. They listed Yue Jianghong as an absolute dangerous person and then vented their anger on Yue Zhong and his wife.
The Yue family is alone in Jianglin Village, leaving only the old man Yue, Yue Zhong and his wife, Yue Jianghong, and a total of four people, and one of them is a foreign surname.
Yue Zhong and his wife were unable to have children, so the Yue family's incense inheritance fell on Yue Jianghong. Others think that his grandson is an ominous person, but he doesn't think so.
He always felt that his grandson was favored by God and would definitely do something in the future. So he spared no effort to protect Yue Jianghong.
Yue Jianghong has two "umbrellas" to protect him. On the surface is his great master, and on the secret is his "ominous person". The two umbrellas protect him and grew up to the age of twelve and did not die in the village.
He became the hardest-lived person in the village. After all, he often slept in the "haunted house" without any accidents.
That night, it was the first time that Yue Jianghong felt scared in his old house and was in a daze all night. He forced himself to sleep, after all, if the rain stopped, he had to work.
Half a dream and half awake, Yue Jianghong felt a yellow breath coming into his stomach and floating in his stomach, some floating to his lower abdomen, some floating in his lungs, and some floating to his heart.
"I must be dreaming, how can a person see his internal organs?"
He took a sip of water and ate only half a steamed bun for supper, leaving his stomach empty.
In this way, Yue Jianghong was hit until dawn, and the night Devil's Cry never stopped, but as he listened, Yue Jianghong got used to it, was no longer afraid, and finally he could fall asleep peacefully.
It was dawn, but the rain did not stop. It had been nine hours, as if the sky in the lonely mountain had leaked, and the water from the sky was pouring down into the world.
Yue Jianghong was very happy. Rain means he didn't have to work. Unlike other people's children, he needs to go out to hunt pig grass, mow grass and feed cows, or herd sheep in the rain. Nothing they can raise at home, and the livestock they raise will die for no reason and then be taken away by inexplicable things. Even a chicken cannot be raised.
When it rains on weekdays, Yue Jianghong will sneak into the jungle not far from the village. Now this season, wild fruits in the woods are particularly prosperous.
After eating wild fruits and saving your second uncle a meal, your second uncle will be very happy and may call him Jiang Hong.
He doesn't like others calling him "Que'er", he already knows that this is a swear word in the village.
The villagers said he was a Queer, and said he could only jump around in the sky a few meters high. He wanted to be the kind of big geek that his mother hoped for, but he was just a fool and whimsical.
Yue Jianghong walked into the jungle, but did not dare to go far, and at most he would dare to enter a mile.
One mile, five hundred meters, and one thousand steps, Yue Jianghong habitually counted silently in his heart.
The jungle was deep. After Yue Jianghong walked three hundred steps, he found something was wrong. The wild fruit in the forest seemed to be eaten by something, and was bitten to pieces. And from the teeth marks, it looked like it was left by an animal that he had seen that looked like a cat.
He didn't know what the animal was called, but from the animal's bloody mouth and white fangs that he exposed, he knew that the other party was probably interested in the lean flesh on him.
He turned around and ran away, using his strength, and finally ran into the village when the animal that looked like a cat was about to chase him, saving his life.
“Is it left it?”
Yue Jianghong felt a stern. That time was when he was ten years old, the year before, and he still remembered it freshly.
"Did you think you met it again by chance?"
Yue Jianghong turned around and was about to run, and suddenly a giant figure jumped out from behind the woods, with a cat-headed and leopard body, like a black cloud, covering his head.
Yue Jianghong was shocked: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"
He cried in a discomfortable voice: "Dad! Mom! The child is unfilial and has not taken good care of himself. Now he is coming to meet you and the two elders!"
He suddenly turned around and faced the giant beast with a cat head and leopard body. Qiqi said, "This cat is also a leopard brother. Please don't chew it when you eat me, so just swallow it all, okay?"
The giant beast tilted its head, staring at Yue Jianghong like a copper bell, and did not eat him immediately.
Yue Jianghong begged: "I don't remember what my parents look like. After you ate me, I died, I will be the whole thing. They can know me, and they can still reunite their family after they die."
After saying that, Yue Jianghong closed his eyes and waited for the final fate of death.
After a long time, seeing that the giant beast had not yet spoken to him, Yue Jianghong quietly opened a crack in his eyes, and the rain fell down his scalp and stuck to his eyelids.
Through the rain, he saw the giant beast in front of him looking at him.
To be precise, it was looking at the broken jade on his neck.
He quickly said, "Brother Cat, do you like this piece of jade? If you can get it down, just take it away, I will never frown."
After saying that, his brows frowned. If the Canyu Jade was lost, his parents would have nothing left to him.
However, the most important thing at the moment is to survive.
