Paranormal incident investigation notes
Chapter 63 Cowherd (please read more)
As the story has developed so far, there is nothing surprising. It is nothing more than a story of a foreigner in trouble temporarily staying in a mountain village.
But the subsequent developments made Lu Ming feel more and more strange.
The story says that this stranger taught children in the village, but he not only taught enlightenment books such as the Thousand-Character Classic and the Three-Character Classic, but also taught many other things in addition to these.
For example, medical skills. He would teach the children to identify herbs and treat simple wounds. Children will also be taught woodworking and making simple tools. In addition, there are many miscellaneous things, and it seems that this foreigner knows everything and knows everything.
This situation, if it were in a place with developed ancient culture, would probably be considered as not doing business properly. But in mountain villages, this extremely practical technology is very popular.
So, the villagers went to him when they were injured, when the wheat failed to grow, when they were sick, when they were hit by evil spirits, when their dogs got lost, they went to him, and even when chickens and ducks were sick, they went to him. he.
Strangely enough, no matter what happens, this foreigner can always solve it in a slightly weird way. Even if it can't be solved, it can make the situation much better.
As a result, his reputation in the village grew stronger. But the companion he had been looking forward to never came to him. His injuries healed, and he did not propose leaving the village to find his companions.
The villagers hope that he can continue to stay in the village, and of course they have no objection to this.
Time passed slowly, and slowly, the "Zhou's daughter" in the village began to fall in love with him and began to pursue him passionately.
Of course, according to ancient social customs, the so-called passionate pursuit is nothing more than cooking food for him, taking the initiative to mend his clothes, taking care of his life, etc.
The villagers are happy to see this happen.
But the foreigner never said anything further.
When Zhou's daughter finally couldn't help it, regardless of the restraints of etiquette, she expressed her true feelings to him and asked him to marry her, but the foreigner didn't say a word.
In the eyes of the ancients, this was a bit treasonous.
The reason is very simple. If you had no intention of being interested in Zhou's daughter, why didn't you refuse her initial advances? As a result, Zhou's daughter thought that you were also interested in her, and she became more and more passionate about you. It's no longer right for you to delay in explaining to others. Now, Zhou's daughter takes the initiative to propose love, and you still refuse?
This makes no sense.
Zhou's daughter was so humiliated that she threw herself into a well and was already dead when she was rescued.
The Zhou family was heartbroken, but looking at this outsider who had brought many changes to the village, they couldn't do anything about it, so they could only cry sadly.
As a result, the stranger looked confused and even asked the villagers, "Why did the Zhou daughter seek death?"
Some villagers were displeased and stood up to accuse the outsiders. With everyone talking, the outsider seemed to have just understood, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "I really don't know."
Then, the outsider told the villagers that the Zhou daughter was actually not dead yet and could still be saved. The villagers were doubtful, but they decided to give it a try. So they put the body of Zhou's daughter in ice cubes in accordance with the requirements of outsiders - it was winter at that time, and fireworks were strictly prohibited, and the body must be kept intact.
After that, a stranger went into the mountain alone, saying he was looking for medicine.
The villagers guarded the body of Zhou's daughter for three days, but the outsider had not returned yet. Just when some people started to question whether the stranger was gone, the stranger came back.
He was "described as withered and bruised," as if he had suffered some hardship in the mountains.
After that, he moved the Zhou daughter's body into the house, burned firewood, and asked the Zhou daughter's mother to wipe her body with warm water for two hours, and then "pressed her heart with gold and iron." "Pricking her hands with needles," "shaving her hair and covering it with an iron crown," and "forcibly feeding her with decoctions," took a long time. As a result, Zhou's daughter was alive again.
This is an incredible miracle. All the villagers were in awe and thought it was a miracle.
Later, the stranger married Zhou's daughter. The husband and wife were harmonious, the husband sang and the wife followed, making others envious.
But the two heirs seem to be having a hard time. They have been married for several years, but the Zhou daughter has not yet given birth to a child. In ancient times, this was entirely the responsibility of women. Zhou's daughter was ashamed and sad. As a result, the stranger went into the mountains again, came back and gave Zhou's daughter some medicine, and then Zhou's daughter finally gave birth to the child.
Logically speaking, the story should end here, with the family continuing to live happily. But when the fourth child could just walk and the eldest son was ten years old, something unexpected happened.
On this day, the foreigner was only halfway through teaching in the village school. Suddenly his expression changed drastically. He hurried back home and told Zhou's daughter a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue.
The stranger said that his companions had come to pick him up and that he must leave here. He didn't want to leave either, but he had no choice.
Not only was he leaving, but the four children he gave birth to were also taken away with him.
Of course Zhou's daughter refused, crying and begging. The foreigner was also very sad. He hugged his wife and said that he had no choice but to leave. Even if he didn't leave, his companions would take him away by force. But he could think of a way to try to keep the child.
Zhou's daughter refused, but the outsider said that preparations must be made in advance, otherwise the child would not be kept.
Zhou's daughter was extremely reluctant, but the situation was stronger than others, so she had no choice but to accept it.
So she followed her husband's instructions and went to the blacksmith's shop to build a big iron box. She dug a hole by the river and put the iron box in. Then she put enough food and drinking water inside, leaving holes for ventilation, and put the iron box in. The four children were also put in.
Afterwards, the iron box was covered with wet soil mixed with chicken blood. Afterwards, some wild grasses were transplanted on it, and two monkeys were captured from the mountains and locked there with chains.
After doing all this, the foreigner told Zhou's daughter that his companions would take him away tonight. At that time, Zhou's daughter and the villagers must not mention the child.
Moreover, the children must stay in the iron box for three days. The box cannot be opened until three days later. If the child is still there, it proves success and the child can stay. If the child disappears, it has failed and the child has been taken away.
After many warnings and instructions, Zhou's daughter agreed with tears in her eyes. At night, the villagers followed the instructions and hid in their homes and did not dare to look outside, but some people peeked through the windows.
They saw the dark sky suddenly burst into rays of light, even lighting up the entire village. Then, the shrill cries of Zhou's daughter came from the village.
The light lasted for about a quarter of an hour before disappearing. The villagers walked out of the house and came to Zhou's daughter, and saw that the foreigner had disappeared.
Not only that, there was a bright star in the sky, brighter than any star that could be seen before. It's even bright enough to be visible with the naked eye at noon.
The villagers did not dare to say anything and just waited.
The star appeared in the sky for three full days before suddenly disappearing at night three days later. After that, the villagers set out overnight and hurriedly dug out the iron box. When they opened it, they saw that the four children were still in the box.
There was still food and water left, but the children had long since cried and lost the energy. Everyone hurriedly comforted them, and it took a long time for the children to regain their composure.
After that, Zhou's daughter continued to live in the mountain village with her four children. Nothing happened again, and the foreigner did not appear again.
A goddess who claimed to be able to summon gods heard about this incident, specially summoned gods, and then told people that the foreigner was not actually a human being, but a god in the sky. He did not respect the rules of heaven and descended to earth secretly. He was framed by evil gods in the process. He could not return to heaven for the time being and could only wait for other gods to rescue him.
Before he appeared, the thunderbolt in the mountain was not actually the thunder that killed the demon, but the fact that he was framed by the evil god and prevented him from returning to the sky.
Originally, he just waited for the other gods to rescue him, but unexpectedly, he fell in love with a mortal, combined with a mortal, and gave birth to a child. He didn't even want to return to the sky again. When the Jade Emperor found out about this, he was furious and sent the gods to capture him and take him back.
He knew that he was doomed, that he could not escape, so he could only find a way to keep the child.
The goddess said that among the five elements, gold and iron are the main killers and can cover up a person's anger so that the gods who come to capture him cannot feel the child's breath. But in order for the child to survive, the vent must remain. This requires using wet soil mixed with chicken blood and monkeys to confuse this escaping "popularity" so that the gods can ignore it.
In this way, the gods searched for three full days but could not find where the child was, and finally had no choice but to go back.
After listening to the explanation of the goddess, the villagers recalled all kinds of miraculous things that the foreigner showed, such as seeming to know everything and being omnipotent. For example, when Zhou's daughter apparently died but was still saved, they finally understood in their hearts that it was The strangers turned out to be gods, and they all sighed.
This story ends here.
Lu Ming fell into deep thought.
On the surface, this story seems to be another "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" story. It's just that in this, the roles of men and women are reversed.
But even so, there's nothing surprising about it. However, under Lu Ming's interpretation method of "seeing through the surface of the story to explore the core of the story", this story can have many unusual meanings.
Especially since there seem to be many coincidences.
This foreigner has a big head, a small body, and thick hair. This is consistent with the image of the mountain god.
The Hag.1 gene can only be passed from male to male or male to female, but cannot be passed from female to offspring. In this story, the roles of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are reversed, and the male is the deity in the sky - culturally speaking, this kind of story is rare.
The age when this story appeared is basically consistent with the age when the first generation ancestor with the Hag.1 gene appeared as determined by genetic tracing.
This story is not widely circulated, and is only legendary in Woye County and surrounding areas. In this way, the region is consistent.
There are so many similarities, so is it a coincidence... or just a coincidence?
