Chapter 19 - Early Warning
Li Kun and I didn't go anywhere that night. After dinner, we both stayed in bed to recuperate, preparing to set off tomorrow to check out Liuxin Mountain in Liushangou.
Because this place is not far from us, if we go there, we can probably get there in about an hour by bus.
Li Kun was holding his arms and snoring. Listening to Li Kun sleeping so soundly, I felt sleepy. The clock on the wall was still ticking, and the whole room was filled with this sound.
Full.
That night, I had a dream. I dreamed that the place where I was was a small weapons depot, and the weapons in this arsenal were all well-known cold weapons used in ancient times, including knives, guns, swords, and halberds.
, axes, hooks, whips or various hidden weapons that are rare in the world.
But what puzzled me was that all these weapons were covered with rust. I picked up a long sword. The scabbard was full of rust and I didn't pull out the long sword for a long time.
The most eye-catching thing in this arsenal is not these various weapons, but a pure white long spear carved from jade placed in the center.
This long spear is completely white, and it makes people feel that it is valuable when placed there.
I turned my head and looked back and forth, and saw that there was nothing in it that made me feel happy. Except for this snow-white spear, there was no perfect object.
Seeing this, I wanted to turn around and leave, but just when I was about to step out of the weapons depot, a blood-red box appeared in front of my eyes.
When I saw this box, my eyes lit up slightly. I walked to the front of the box, but just when I was about to open the blood-red box, a huge tail actually whipped straight towards me!
This tail was as thick as an adult's thigh. With just one movement, my body flew straight out. In just a moment, I suddenly woke up from my dream.
I sat up from the kang directly due to this, with dense beads of sweat on my forehead.
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, and when I realized that I had a dream, my heart immediately relaxed.
I let out a long breath, turned my head and looked out the window. It was just getting bright. I reached out and took the phone next to me and looked at the time. It was exactly four o'clock now.
Seeing that there was still plenty of time, I slowly lay down on the bed again, raised my head and looked at the ceiling, and I was really murmuring in my heart.
I won't have a dream all year round, let alone the dream I had tonight was so strange.
But as long as I dream, something will definitely happen, and this kind of thing must be a warning to me.
The last time I had a dream was at the beginning of last year, which happened to be the first day of the Lunar New Year. And on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, I had a dream that makes me scared when I think about it now.
That night, I wasn't sure exactly what era or where I was. I only knew where I was, and the door of this place had only two simple words, Yizhuang.
Yizhuang was established by Fan Zhongyan in the Song Dynasty. At that time, in order to gather the strength of the clan, Fan Zhongyan bought more than ten hectares of fertile land in Suzhou as family property, which was called "Yizhuang". The assets obtained from Yizhuang were mainly used to provide support for Fan's Yizhuang Middle School.
People's basic needs for life include food, clothing, housing, and major

Funding for funerals, weddings, etc. has enabled the Fan clan to ensure their basic livelihood.
Later, the descendants of the Fan family continued to add and modify the regulations, so that the righteous village could continue to expand. By the time of Lizong in the Southern Song Dynasty, the fan righteous village had more than 3,000 acres. Officials in the two Song Dynasties followed suit and established some righteous villages in various places, some of which were expanded.
In order to provide relief to the poor local people, family properties similar to charity fields also include charity houses, charity schools, charity graves, etc.
With the changes in the social structure, the content of Yizhuang has gradually narrowed. In modern times, it was almost exclusively ancestral halls. In cities, places called Yizhuang have become Buddhist temples and Taoist temples among the current population.
A public morgue is dedicated to people who died in unclear circumstances or who died unjustly.
What I never expected was that I was trapped alive in a coffin in Yizhuang!
When I realized that I was trapped in the coffin, I felt a numbness in my scalp.
The inside of the coffin was extremely narrow, and it was a problem for me to even move in this small space.
I opened my mouth, but found that I couldn't make any sound at all. I could only use my hands and feet to bang hard inside the coffin, hoping that people outside would notice that there was a living person inside the coffin.
But what makes me despair is that no matter how hard I try, this dark coffin can't make any sound.
This weird and terrifying feeling made me despair, and I will never forget this feeling of despair.
And just after I had this weird dream on the first day of the new year, a strange thing happened in my village.
In the early morning of the second day of junior high school, my father and I heard a series of cats meowing, and it was not just one wild cat meowing, but a group of wild cats meowing.
The meows of these wild cats were more pitiful than the last, and bursts of harsh howls echoed back and forth throughout the village. When our old man heard these wild cats meowing like this, he thought of a folk rumor.
The old man encountered this kind of strange thing when he was a child. It is not easy to pick up a black wild cat in normal times, but it is completely impossible to encounter such a group of wild cats.
, and these feral cats are not domestic cats whose family members died or were left unattended.
These wild cats are all completely black in color. There is a folk saying that if you don’t plant a locust tree at home or a willow plant in front of your door, black cats will attract evil spirits, and the yellow fairy will come to you.
The saying "Don't plant a locust tree at home" means that you can't plant a locust tree at home, because locust trees will attract evil spirits, and when ghosts walk at night, they will pass by these tall locust trees. Therefore, it is taboo to plant locust trees at home.
.
If you don't plant willows in front of your door, you can't plant willows in front of your door. If you plant willows in front of your door, although it is not as dangerous as a locust tree planted at home, the disaster will definitely not escape you.
Black cats represent great evil. It is recorded in my book "Twenty-Four Mountains Feng Shui" that black cats bring bad luck to people. One or two black cats are not harmful, but if they are in groups, it will bring bad luck to people.
If a group of black cats appears in front of your house, it means that these two people are definitely dead.
However, these black cats are all gathered in the village. There must be some change in our village.
On the day of the second day of the lunar new year, several households around our home were really in trouble. They spent the whole day with the shrill screams of these wild cats. Anyone with elderly people at home would be killed by these black cats that day.
Scared to death.

The medical examiner did not understand the circumstances of these people's deaths. They only said that these old people died of illness, heart disease or a sudden burst of blood pressure. All these statements were unflattering.
But after that, something happened that shocked the entire county. These black cats actually ate the corpses of the old people who died in the second grade of junior high school.
Can these black cats dig through the thick soil and open the coffin lid?
The local police were also shocked when they learned about this incident. They mobilized manpower to go to the mountain to check on the same day. However, this was indeed the case. Judging from the traces of digging, it was indeed the paw prints of animals that dug up the soil, and
There are more than a few dozen of them.
But what is puzzling is how these black cats opened the coffin lid with nails on it? Is this something humanly possible?
Nothing was found out about this matter until the end. In the end, the matter could only be shelved. More than ten years later, this matter is still a big mystery.
However, there is a lack of widespread publicity about this matter among the people, and there are all kinds of themes.
But what is the warning that my dream today gave me?
What is in the red box in the dream? And what is that huge tail?
I scratched my head and simply stopped thinking about this matter. I could only go to the general's tomb to verify these things one by one.
Time passed quickly, and I had no intention of taking a nap, so I simply closed my eyes and wondered if I could find the entrance to the general's tomb today.
After dinner, we said hello to the old man and said that we might go out for a few days. The old man nodded and did not ask us what we were going to do, but just told us to pay attention to safety.
After what happened last time, Li Kun and we all have some experience.
When I came out last time, I looked like a homeless person, with stains all over my head and face, and my clothes were in tatters.
But this time, because of the experience last time, in order to ensure that I would not freeze to death when I came out, I put several sets of clothes in a big bag.
Although my clothes are a bit too small for Li Kun, they are much better than wearing rags.
After walking out of the door, Li Kun thought about buying some insect repellent. Li Kun was afraid of insects, so he bought two bottles and took them with him.
I smiled and said to Li Kun: "Old Li, why are you, a tall man like you, afraid of such big bugs?"
Li Kun rolled his eyes at me and said: "When I was a child, I wasn't actually afraid of these things. I would grab them with my hands and play with them every day. But then I felt that these things were ugly and quite disgusting. Do you know what the key is? The key is me."
When I was a teenager, a bug actually crawled into my ear."
As he said that, Li Kun turned to look at me and said: "Do you know what it feels like when a bug crawls into your ear while you are sleeping? It feels like something is biting you in the ear, and there is a constant buzzing in the ear.
You try to buckle it but you can't get it out, it's going to go back and forth in your ear."
"Fortunately, I went to the hospital in time, otherwise I would have bitten my eardrum. That's when I started to be disgusted with bugs."
