Ten minutes later, the sky brightened, and the rolling dark clouds disappeared with the muffled thunder. The downpour gradually turned into a light drizzle, and then the wind stopped and the rain soon stopped.
After a while, the sun shone and the sky was clear.
Zhang Lifei and Wang Haifei politely declined Su Chunfeng and Chen Xiulan's repeated attempts to persuade them to stay. Regardless of the muddy and slippery roads that had just rained heavily, they decided to go home quickly with lingering fears - who knows the weather, who knows if it will suddenly rain heavily again soon?
Su Chunfeng and Chen Xiulan had no choice but to go out to see each other off.
Just as they watched the two girls riding bicycles disappear around the corner of the muddy alley, Su Chunfeng and Chen Xiulan heard an almost shrill howl coming from Liu Jinming's home, followed by the panicked voices of Liu Jinming and his wife Hu Ling.
Sent out:
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Go call someone quickly!"
"quick!"
Chen Xiulan looked surprised and confused.
Su Chunfeng also pretended to be confused, but he knew in his heart that the old lady of the Liu family would most likely not be able to withstand the powerful lethality of the anti-evil talisman this time. Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at Liu Jinming seemingly casually.
The earthen jar placed on the northeast corner of the house's roof.
At this moment, the mouth of the can has cracked open, like a mouth opened by a firecracker, which is quite weird and terrifying.
Su Chunfeng shook his head with some pity and thought to himself: "If Liu Jinming's family sees this situation, will they regret it and be afraid?"
"What happened to their family?" Chen Xiulan whispered.
Su Chunfeng said calmly: "I don't care about other people's affairs. We don't want people to say that our family is just enjoying the misfortune and watching a joke. Let's go back."
"Yes." Chen Xiulan nodded, surprised that her son would say such mature words, and turned around to follow her son home.
After a while, Su Cheng came back from outside in a hurry. As soon as he entered the house, he frowned and sighed: "Liu Jinming's mother suddenly fell ill just now, and the whole family rushed to the county hospital... I happened to be there when I got in the car.
I saw the situation as I was passing by and it was tough enough to survive."
"Oh!" Chen Xiulan looked surprised: "The old lady is usually quite strong."
"Who can say for sure about disease?" Su Cheng shook his head, took off his wet cloth shoes, put on a pair of slippers, and said, "Our old man was fine at first, but didn't he just die from an illness?"
At this point, he waved his hand rather sadly: "Let's not talk about this anymore... Hey, Xiaofeng's classmate is gone?"
"Well, they left in a hurry as soon as the rain stopped. It was quite embarrassing to leave them to eat."
Su Chengcheng looked at his son and said, "The relationship between classmates is better. It's okay to be friends, but don't fall in love at a young age and affect your studies."
"I know." Su Chunfeng grinned.
Afternoon.
Taking advantage of the lunch break of most people in the village and no one in the streets, Su Chunfeng took a tile knife to grab a handful of dry soil, went up to the house and walked around to the southwest corner of his courtyard wall, and used the tile knife to remove the "Anti-Evil Talisman" carved on the bricks.
Scrape it off, then smear it with dry soil several times, and then wipe it off with your hands. In this way, there will be no difference on the two bricks. Since the anti-evil talisman is useless, as the saying goes, drive carefully and you will get better.
It’s better to erase the traces of the annual boat.
Sure enough, three days later, rumors spread in the village...
According to rumors, Liu Jinming's wife had a dispute because she forced Su Cheng's wife Chen Xiulan to donate money to build a temple. She held a grudge and placed jars, iron nails and other objects on the roof of her house in an attempt to use witchcraft to curse Su Cheng's family. The curse failed.
, suffered the consequences, and almost died from a sudden illness.
Now, the old lady of the Liu family is still living in the county hospital and is said to be paralyzed.
But these rumors were spread by the old lady's second daughter-in-law, Liu Jinming's wife Hu Ling.
Because, after her mother-in-law planted the earthen jar and used witchcraft to curse it, the eldest son of the Su Cheng family, Su Chunfeng, once came to raise questions and asked their family to remove the earthen jar. She also kindly told their family that the teacher once said
, Feudal superstitions like witchcraft may backfire. However, Liu Jinming and the old lady didn't believe it, and angrily kicked Su Chunfeng out.
As a result, such an incident occurred only in the past ten days or so.
Hu Ling was naturally frightened.
Moreover, these rumors are not just based on Hu Ling's rumors. She also has evidence - the old lady suddenly fell ill that day, and when she hurried out to call for help, she happened to see the mouth of the earthen jar placed in the northeast corner of her house. It was inexplicable.
The ground is cracking open, which is really scary.
Talking about such talkative women in rural areas, it is true that they succeed more than they reveal. As the saying goes, a family scandal should not be made public. Not only did she spread these words, she even kept the broken earthen pot on the roof.
Now it's better, many curious villagers ran to see...
"Hey, it's true!"
"I've never seen the mouth of an earthen pot collapse like that. It's really strange."
"You will not live if you do your own thing!"
"Liu Jinming's mother is really hateful. Although Su Cheng made money this year, it was really hard-earned money, and he took such a big risk to buy a combine harvester with a loan! Why do you have to force him to donate 200 yuan?
What about money to build a temple? You are obviously not being reasonable but you are still cursing people..."
"Tell me, could it be that the Su Cheng family also cast a curse on the old Liu family?"
"Impossible, who in the village doesn't know where Su Cheng and his wife are from? They wouldn't be able to do such a thing."
"Too……"
…
Liu Jinming, who stayed in the county hospital for three days before taking the time to return to the village in the evening, heard these rumors. He was so angry that he beat his mother-in-law at home, and then went to the room to remove all the broken pots and bricks.
, rode his bicycle to the outside of the village and threw it away far away.
Youdao is a person who does not do harm to his heart and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on his door in the middle of the night.
No matter how overbearing Liu Jinming was, he still knew that what the old lady at home did was unreasonable. Think about what Su Chunfeng said that night when he asked for kindness. The old lady used witchcraft to curse the earthen jar.
Mysterious and strange things, such as suddenly getting sick and screaming in fear during a thunderstorm, and then falling into coma, and the earthen jars inexplicably breaking apart like that... He couldn't help but tremble: "What if the curse really failed and the reverse curse hit his family, then
Is this curse finished? Will it affect other people in the family?"
The old lady has not yet returned from the hospital. The doctor diagnosed her as having a sudden cerebral infarction caused by excessive fright, resulting in nerve blockage and partial paralysis of her limbs. Even after she is discharged from the hospital, she will need long-term restorative treatment and care.
This kind of patient is definitely a heavy burden for ordinary families!
After beating up his wife for publicizing his family's disgrace, Liu Jinming still couldn't vent his anger. He sat in the dark courtyard and smoked nonstop. In just three days, all the brothers' savings were spent treating the old lady.
Follow-up treatment and recovery will still cost money. How will I spend my days in the future?
How about gathering some people from the family tomorrow to find trouble with the Su Cheng family and blackmail him for some money?
Su Cheng made a lot of money this year!
Anyway, the conflict with their family has spread in the village. What's more, there are rumors in the village that the old lady's sudden illness is related to witchcraft, so it has something to do with Su Cheng's family! But Su Cheng is not someone to be bullied.
It's a weak point, and this matter itself is unreasonable...
Liu Jinming gritted his teeth. What the hell is unreasonable? What I want is money!
After making a decision in his heart, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his toes, got up and went back to the house to sleep. He just lay on the bed, tossing and turning but couldn't fall asleep - he hated his old lady for what she did.
So extreme! He regretted why he had to be so narrow-minded and disobey the young Su Chunfeng's words, so he dismantled the broken jar and threw it away. He was also a little hesitant and scared...
The pressure in his heart was too great.
Under such tremendous pressure and the fear of this rather mysterious and strange event, Liu Jinming, who had been unable to fall asleep for a long time and finally managed to fall asleep, woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night and couldn't help but scream in horror,
My wife was so scared that she rolled off the bed.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Hu Ling asked in a trembling voice.
"Nothing, nothing..." Liu Jinming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, quickly reached for the light cord on the bedside and turned on the light. He got up and got out of bed, went to the table to pick up the cigarette case and lighter, and tremblingly took out a cigarette.
Light it, take a deep breath, sit at the table and meditate.
In the middle of the night, her husband, who had always been bold and fierce, woke up from a nightmare and screamed in fright, which really made Hu Ling extremely frightened.
Reminds me of my mother-in-law's sudden illness, which was strange and inexplicable...
Hu Ling became more and more frightened. She felt as if something was sticking its head out of the dark window and looking into their house. She quickly got up and squeezed next to her husband. She sobbed and said: "His father, you said that our mother made that tile
If the jar is cursed, is it attracting something unclean into the home?"
The irritated Liu Jinming raised his foot and kicked his wife to the ground, roaring: "Don't be so fucking blind!"
"Ah!" Hu Ling fell to the ground and screamed miserably, holding her stomach. Then she moved her buttocks to the bedside in horror, leaning against the bedside and staring blankly at Liu Jinming.
Liu Jinming had a sullen face and took a deep breath from his cigarette.
Under the light, his face was vaguely visible in the swirling smoke, dim and uncertain.
Looking at this scene, Hu Ling had various thoughts in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more she became afraid. The more afraid she became, the more uncertain things seemed to exist everywhere inside and outside the house...
Her spirit finally collapsed!
"Ah!" Hu Ling suddenly stood up and rushed towards Liu Jinming like crazy, kicking, scratching and scratching her, and howling heart-breakingly: "You bastard bastard, you beat me every day.
Scold me for doing those unscrupulous things outside! It's all your fault, it's all your mother's fault, how will you live your life in the future?"
Has Liu Jinming ever been so tormented by his wife?
In anger, he stood up and threw his wife into the corner: "You are fucking crazy! Get out of here!"
However, Hu Ling, who was knocked down in the corner, was not afraid this time. She quickly got up and threw herself at Liu Jinming almost madly: "I will fight with you. If I don't survive, I..."
"Fuck!" Liu Jinming became even more angry and slapped the big-eared scraper.
