Chapter 81 The sound of wooden fish in the middle of the night
After cheering, everyone tied the python to the bamboo pole and prepared to carry it back to the village to display.
The fourth uncle even picked up the wooden fish and said it was their spoil.
I was worried about my uncle and said that this wooden fish was not an ordinary thing, it was probably a sinister thing, so it was best to burn it on the spot to avoid causing any trouble to the villagers.
The fourth uncle was naturally unhappy and said that the wooden fish lump has been in the python's belly for countless years, and its medicinal value must be very high, not worse than ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.
After repeated persuasion, Uncle Fourth was a little unhappy and I was too lazy to continue talking nonsense. I knew sooner or later he would regret it.
As soon as the python was taken back, it caused a sensation in the whole village and everyone came to see the fun. Uncle Fourth said that a large bonfire party will be held tonight as a celebration.
The party was held very successfully. Everyone jumped and jumped around the python. The last fire burned the python clean and made the remaining skeletons into accessories, with flowers hanging on them. It was indeed very beautiful.
As for the wooden fish, it was kept at home like a treasure by the fourth uncle.
Yin Xinyue saw that I was depressed throughout the whole process and asked me what was going on?
So I told Yin Xinyue about my concerns. Yin Xinyue advised me not to think too much. This matter should not be that complicated, it is just a big python.
Since the python is unwilling to hurt the villagers until it dies, then it may not hurt the villagers after it dies, right?
I sighed and said that this is best.
But things are unpredictable, and disasters happen soon...
That night, I was sleeping in a daze and was suddenly awakened by the sound of knocking on wooden fish.
At first I thought it was because of the psychological pressure that I had too much auditory hallucination. However, when I listened carefully, the sound became brighter and brighter, and the sound of wooden fish was layered, making people feel like they were having a split headache.
I quickly woke Li Mazi up and asked if he had heard any movement?
Li Mazi shook his head and said, "Are you sick? It's midnight, who will be so idle that you'll be so tired that you'll be hitting wooden fish?"
After saying that, he turned around and continued to sleep.
Weird, why did Li Mazi not hear it? I felt that this was very abnormal. After thinking about it, I decided to go to my fourth uncle's house to take a look.
If it is caused by evil things, I will also prepare in advance.
However, when I walked out of the room, the sound of knocking on the wooden fish disappeared. I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that I might be thinking too much.
The next day, Yin Xinyue proposed to take us around and see the scenery, but I had no thoughts at all and my mind was full of wood fish.
At night, the sound of knocking on wooden fish came into my ears again. After suffering from all kinds of torture, I finally decided to go to my fourth uncle's house to take a look.
After making up my mind, I went to my fourth uncle's house in my clothes.
The night was dark and quiet, with stars in the air, but I was stingy and did not give any light to the village. The brightness of the flashlight was limited, and I could not see far. Occasionally, a cool breeze blew, which made me shivering.
When I passed by the python skeleton, I heard the whimpering sound of the wind blowing through the skeleton, as if someone was crying.
So I immediately used a flashlight to illuminate the python skeleton.
The skeleton hangs quietly on the tree. Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, and it will shake gently a few times, and the flowers on it fall all over the ground.
The white bones, the hideous python head, and the swaying body were really scary. I couldn't help but speed up.
Soon, I arrived at my fourth uncle's residence.
The door of the Fourth Uncle's residence was locked, and when I got closer, I keenly discovered that the sound of knocking on the wooden fish came from the Fourth Uncle's room.
I quickly jumped over the wall and tiptoed to Uncle Fourth's room. When I pushed open a gap in the window of Uncle Fourth's room and saw the scene inside, I was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Fourth was knocking on wooden fish at this moment!
He closed his eyes, but every stroke was accurately knocked on the wooden fish.
Moreover, his expression is stiff and his movements are stiff, just like sleepwalking.
What's the situation?
Suddenly, Uncle Fourth stopped his movements. He carefully picked up the wooden fish, then aimed at the gap between the wooden fish, and sucked his mouth and blew the air inside.
He blew for a very long time and did not breathe at all.
In the end, his face turned red and his eyes suddenly opened, and his bloodshot eyes seemed to protrude at any time, which was very scary.
I was really worried that he would suffocate himself to death in one breath, so I wanted to go in and pull the Muyu away. Fortunately, Uncle Fourth blew for about half a minute, then took a deep breath, then put the Muyu on the table and continued to beat it.
All night, he repeated these two movements, repeatedly looping.
What's strange is that even though the fourth uncle's wife was sleeping in the same room with him, she was not awakened, and occasionally there would be a snoring sound.
The other people in the village could not hear the sound of the wooden fish.
This is strange. Why can I hear it so far away, but they can't? I vaguely feel that the origin of this wooden fish is not simple, it is 100% of it.
Now I can't disturb my fourth uncle because I heard that people who wake up sleepwalking will turn him into dementia.
So I kept guarding outside until the sound of a rooster crowing in the village, and the fourth uncle put down the wooden fish and got into the quilt to sleep.
After dawn, I secretly told Li Mazi about my discovery.
After hearing this, Li Mazi's first reaction was fear, and his second reaction was excitement. He said that this Muyu was a treasure, and it must have been left by the roadblocker. I wonder how many Grandpa could be sold for?
I smoked a cigarette, forced myself to calm down, and said to Li Mazi: "Although this thing is a treasure, we cannot take it away, because I have never heard of such a ghost thing, and I am afraid that it will be harmed if I take it back!"
My only idea now is to burn the wooden fish. Maybe as the wooden fish is burned, the ghosts living inside will also rest in peace.
Li Mazi was a little disappointed and asked me if there was no other way?
I had a headache and shook my head and said there was no good idea for the time being...
The thing I worry most now is that even if I tell my fourth uncle that there is something wrong with the wooden fish, I guess the fourth uncle won’t believe me, and I can’t forcefully take the wooden fish away.
