Orochi Longevity
Chapter 36 The Crow Hurts People
Ever since he decided to go out to watch things for others, Snake ordered Liu Laowu's family to move the fairy altar from the main room to the inner room.
In doing so, it can avoid being disturbed by idlers, etc., and it is also more convenient to receive guests who come to see things.
The girl then suggested that since they were looking after other people's affairs in the early days, their reputation was not obvious, so it's better to decorate the inner room and play tricks, so as not to be despised by others.
Moreover, a certain amount of money has to be charged, which is painful but not too overwhelming.
In this way, they can be pious enough when they burn incense, so that good incense will not be wasted in vain.
The snake felt that the girl's opinion was very reasonable.
Human beings are the most complex and changeable creatures.
When He Bo was powerful, many villagers clearly saw that something was wrong, but pretended not to know and even helped the evildoers.
Later, when He Bo was killed, they spit on his body and chopped the fire with knives.
From He Bo's treatment before and after, it can be seen that human beings fear prestige but not virtue!
The same is different, and the snake takes this as a warning.
at certain moments...
It will definitely show its holiness in front of people and create momentum for itself.
What's more, it is only right and proper to use people's money to eliminate disasters for others.
There is a proverb circulating among the villagers that money can make ghosts turn millstones.
Although the snake can't use money, it can use it to drive humans.
Besides, there are never too many good things, even if you don't need it, it's okay to take it.
Needless to say, the girl's trick really worked.
A man and a woman were immediately bluffed as soon as they were brought into the inner room.
The delicate woman immediately cried and cried for help.
The man looked at it carefully.
In the dimly lit inner room, there were no tables, chairs, or sundries.
There are a few futons and a fairy altar inside, other than that, there is only a ceramic vase with a few crisp and tender willow branches inserted in the vase.
The windows of the inner room seemed to have been sealed thickly with mud. Once the door was closed, it was so dark that it was shocking.
On Sendai, the red candles swayed gently without wind.
The candlelight illuminated the entire interior blood red, flickering on and off.
Therefore, the two can only see vague shadows of things, but they can't see them clearly.
The only thing that can be seen clearly is the simple landscape painting on the fairy altar.
The man and woman lived in the city and had seen many paintings on weekdays.
Looking at this painting alone, I feel that no matter the brushstrokes, imagery, or style, they are all mediocre, and there is nothing particularly worthy of praise.
But only the huge ink snake in the center of the landscape painting is almost drawn out of its soul, lifelike.
As soon as the two of them entered the inner room, they felt chills in their backs, and had the illusion of being stared at by an existence beyond understanding.
The woman supported her husband and stood at the door, not daring to step forward for a long time.
The door closed automatically, and they didn't dare to look back.
The girl in a long gown lit the incense sticks herself, and she blew lightly on the incense head, bowing three times with a solemn expression.
Then, she inserted the incense stick into the incense burner, and the green smoke slowly rose.
"Master He and Mrs. He, please step forward."
It wasn't until this moment that the girl flicked her sleeves expressionlessly and instructed the two to sit on the futon.
Seeing all this, Snake nodded in satisfaction in his heart.
He chose to let the girl be his spokesperson, which was indeed a very wise decision.
The two struggled for a moment, and finally Mrs. He helped Xianggong, and slowly walked to the futon and sat down.
During this process, the man gritted his teeth from time to time, held his chest, and showed a painful expression.
After only a few short steps, he was sweating profusely and out of breath.
If this situation and this scene were seen by others, doubts would arise in their hearts and their expressions would be different.
But Er Ya couldn't do that.
She always maintained an indifferent expression, unmoved.
"What is the grievance between the two of you? Let's talk about it quickly."
The girl knew that she represented her master now.
So she was trying to imitate the tone and tone of the snake.
"Don't worry, don't be afraid, Lord Liu Xian will definitely make decisions for you."
Mrs. He glanced at her husband, saw him nodding, and complained with snot and tears:
"Miss Fairy, you must help us! Our family has been ruined by that evildoer!"
This matter has to start three years ago, that is, the eleventh year of Zhenguan.
At that time, Mr. He had not moved to the city.
Master He's real name is He Yu'an, and he lived in Hejiazhuang since he was a child.
Their Hejiazhuang has nothing but a lot of crows! Every year in autumn and winter, crows can't find food, so they fly all over the sky and beg for food.
If there is a bad harvest, the crows will not be able to find food, and they will fall to death during the flight.
Three years ago, Mr. He happened to see this scene and felt that he couldn't bear it, so he spent some money to buy food and feed it to the crows.
Who knows that this feeding will cause trouble to the upper body.
The crows remembered him from then on, and whenever they were hungry, they would fly to him and ask him for something to eat.
It was okay at first, the crows only came to Mr. He for help when they couldn't find food.
Afterwards those crows were not so plausible!
They got a good deal, they only thought that if someone fed them, they would not die of hunger, so they no longer went out to look for food, but followed Master He every day, begging for food from him.
Even if Mr. He has tens of thousands of wealth, how can he afford such a thing?
He can afford to feed the crows a meal once in a while, but he can't do it every day!
In addition, the business of their shop has not been very good in the past few years, and my family has to increase income and reduce expenditure to save some money.
Where can I find spare money to feed the crows every day!
So Master He became cruel and cut off the crows' food.
But something happened immediately after this decision, and the crows became crazy, not only lingering in front of his house every day, but even rioting and hurting people.
Not to mention Master He, even the entire group of people in Hejiazhuang were forced by the crows to move, leave, and find another place to survive.
Master He also moved to the city at that time.
But even so, the crow still refused to let him go.
"Those crows are used to being fed. They don't think it's a gift from my master to feed them, but they think it's justified."
"It's a mistake if the master doesn't feed them!"
Mrs. He wiped away her tears when she spoke of her sadness.
"We have all moved to the city, and there are still crows around our house from time to time. When those crows see us going out, they will fly over and peck us with their beaks."
"...We stopped going out after that. But that's it, the crow still has a way to trouble the master."
"When my master is sleeping, he always dreams of a crow pecking at his heart. The pain is unbearable and he can't drive it away."
Just as he was talking, Grandpa He slowly lifted off the clothes on his chest, revealing it to Er Ya.
The girl was surprised to find that there were dense dents on the man's chest.
Those small openings seem to have been pecked by a bird's beak, but they don't look like scars, which is very strange!
Master He finally spoke weakly and said the first sentence:
"Miss Fairy, there must be evil spirits involved in this matter."
"There must be a monster out of the group of crows. Please ask Grandma Xiangu to get rid of this monster!"
He struggled and bowed to the ground, but didn't get up for a long time.
