Chapter 87 Evil Spirit
"The old mountain god and land god temple was here..."
It is just a simple natural cave. Half of it has collapsed due to wind and rain, not to mention the clay statues of mountain gods and land gods inside the cave. It is impossible to make out what they are.
There was a crooked tree in front of the cave, but it was dead and no one took care of it.
Little Yuanbao stared at the statue, "Brother Tiangou, take a closer look. Doesn't this mountain god look a bit like a horse with a human body? Is that thing that fell off a horse's horn?"
Wang Tiangou took a closer look and said, "A little bit."
Sanbao took a deep breath and said, "Sister, could this be..."
Wang Tiangou said with certainty, "It's very likely."
Everyone sighed, "I never thought that the Black Mountain Ghost had lived in our Tangjia Village before. This harmful thing, fortunately we in Tangjia Village don't worship it, otherwise..."
"It is said that this mountain god temple collapsed decades ago and no one has taken care of it since. It has been decades since someone was hanged here. Sister, could it be that the Black Mountain Ghost killed this person?"
Xiao Yuanbao's two little sheep-horn braids were shaking.
"It's possible, but I can't be sure. The evil spirit here is not from living souls, but from the old ghost of Black Mountain."
Cai was terrified when she heard this. "Let's go. What you said is scary..."
There is the Black Mountain old ghost, the hanged man, and the evil spirit.
"It's okay, I'll drive it."
Xiao Yuanbao handed the little white hair in his arms to Sanbao, and then Xiaopang made a gesture with his hands and muttered...
"All right! The evil spirit has been dispelled. It will be completely gone in a few days."
"So fast, my sister is the best!"
"I also feel that the wind has become much fresher."
"Look, the holes have all collapsed..."
The caves and statues that could be vaguely seen before have now completely turned into mud and dust.
Cai still didn't like the place. "Let's go quickly. It's almost time for lunch. We should go home and eat."
Who knew that little Yuanbao's eyes would twinkle and he would say excitedly, "Mom, brother, let's build a house here!"
Cai shuddered, "No, Xiao Yuanbao, this place is too remote."
We must quickly dispel the young lady's fantastic ideas.
"It's not remote. It's quite close to Brother Tengu's house. It's just a short walk across the river. It's close to the mountains and the water. The air and scenery are good. The sun rises from there in the morning..." She kept talking. "It's also good for my second brother to rest and recuperate!"
Cai said, "To be honest, someone died here before, so there is evil spirit here. Also, the river is not clean. After what happened to your brother Tiangou, the children in the village don't dare to play in the river anymore..."
Xiao Yuanbao himself said that there was something in the river.
The children in the village used to catch fish and shrimps in the river, but now, under the admonitions of the adults, they come less often.
Cai was a stepmother raising four children, and Sanbao was so naughty that she didn't want to build a house here.
Afraid of some danger.
Little Yuanbao liked this place more and more. "It's free of evil spirits now, mother! It's become a blessed land. We can build a house here. It's the best place!"
Seeing his sister strongly recommend it, Dabao was tempted.
"If nothing else, this is a good place. It's close to the main road and convenient for going to town and the county."
Erbao also spoke up, "Since my sister says it's good, then of course it's good. Mother, how about we consider it?"
Sanbao dotes on his sister like crazy, and whatever his sister says is right. "Mom, we'll build here. What's there to be afraid of if there are ghosts in the river? Our sister is so powerful that ghosts will run away when they see her. We all have amulets drawn by our sister, so ghosts don't dare to mess with us. What are we afraid of? We live here, and if there are really ghosts in the river, it's the ghosts that should be scared!"
Cai was speechless.
"Xiao Yuanbao, can we really build a house here?"
"Yeah."
Cai gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, let's go talk to your master this afternoon..."
If it was in a popular location in the center of the village, maybe someone would take a fancy to it and cause a conflict with them. However, this place is remote and people have died here, so it is a place that no one wants.
It should be a piece of land that is easy to approve.
After the discussion was settled, Little Yuanbao said to Little White Hair in his arms, "Little White Hair, do you like living here?"
The little white-haired cat shook its head and tail, "Woof!"
"Look, mother, the little white-haired ones all like this place. This is a good place."
Cai couldn't help but smile.
The children were not afraid, and neither was she.
She believed in her children.
***
After dinner, Cai took her children to Uncle Li Zheng's house again.
There was someone else in Uncle Li Zheng's house, the person they had met in the morning.
Cai had a bad feeling and felt a little uneasy.
But Dabao and the other children were not afraid at all. They behaved calmly and looked normal, so she felt more at ease.
"Uncle..."
Little Yuanbao is a good kid, "Hello, Grandpa Li Zheng, we are here again!"
Uncle Li Zheng had a frown on his face at first, but when he saw the innocent smile of the young man, a smile appeared on his face again.
The mother and her children were allowed to come in and sit down. There were other people drinking tea in the room, and when they saw them, their eyes were filled with disdain.
Before the Cai family could express their demands, Uncle Li Zheng spoke first.
"What did you talk about at the door of Tang Xianming's house this morning?"
Cai's heart skipped a beat. "She didn't say anything. Little Yuanbao just said a few words. Children speak without restraint. The villagers were teasing her. Don't trust her words."
The person who arrived early to drink tea in the room was Tang Xianming.
"If it's not nonsense, then what is it? You said our stone lion is blind and can't protect the house and the wealth. You said that the men and women in our family are immoral. I think you guys are immoral. You just keep talking nonsense. You have no manners! You are so young and don't learn well. You learn those things that are not presentable from the fortune-teller. You are bastards who have a father but no mother to teach you!"
Sanbao Huo De stood up and said, "You have good manners, but you scold us orphans and widows, calling us bastards! My sister is doing Feng Shui for your family for free, it's your family's honor, if you don't thank me, you come here to scold us, who the hell do you think you are! How dare you scold my sister!"
Like a little cock with high spirits.
Tang Xianming choked on the tea he was told off, "You, you, you! Little brat, no one taught you, I'm here to teach you..."
He stood up and was about to slap Sanbao in the face.
Xiao Yuanbao's eyes narrowed, and she would beat anyone who dared to hit her brother!
If she can't scold him, can she beat him?
Hum!
So angry, you bad old man.
As a result, he was stopped by Uncle Li Zheng, "Brother Xianming, you are old, why are you arguing with children? Stop it."
Tang Xianming is also in his fifties or sixties. He is of the same generation as Uncle Li Zheng, but even older than Uncle Li Zheng.
