After bidding farewell to the old monk of the Pagoda Temple, Sun Weimin began to consider whether he should return to Beijing. It was not easy for him to come out alone, and he did not have to fight with thieves. He had a rare leisure time, so he might as well go to the northwest to explore the "world". He heard from his father that there was a vast land with few people and strange customs. There were often some strange things. Ever since he encountered the Yazi Banner, Sun Weimin felt that the thing he lacked the most in cultivation was knowledge. Take the Yazi Banner as an example. If he had known that Qiongqi could defeat the Yazi Banner, it would not have caused such a big mess, and Lady Snake would not have come out.
Having made up his mind, Sun Weimin didn't stay any longer. He sent a telegram to the organization and set off on the road to the west.
It took less than a day to reach Inner Mongolia from Shanxi. This was also the old road that many people used to take. " Going to Xikou " had been in Shanxi for more than 300 years. Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, many people from Shanxi had taken this road in order to survive. Even today, there were still many people from Shanxi in the western part of Inner Mongolia. Therefore, when one went to the western part of Inner Mongolia, one would always find that the people here had many similarities with the people from Shanxi, such as eating noodles and drinking vinegar.
"Brother, you go to the west entrance. It's really difficult for me to keep you, so I held your hand and sent you to the main entrance. When Sun Weimin set foot in Inner Mongolia, he could still hear this simple folk song sung by the old shepherd. That feeling, accompanied by the yellow soil and wilderness, made people feel that the world was magnified. It was really, the vast desert sand walked by itself, and the poplars were silent.
Other than the folk songs of the Northwest, Sun Weimin also liked the cave dwelling in the Northwest. This kind of folk architecture was very special. It was carved according to the cliff, and people lived in it. It was very free and unfettered. Of course, people also had a way to dig in places without cliffs. This kind of cave dwelling was also called a sinking cave dwelling. The method was to first dig a square pit on the spot, then dig the cave into the four walls to form a courtyard house. On the flat ground, one could only see the treetops of the courtyard and not the houses. It looked very strange. In Sun Weimin's eyes, it looked like a ghost house.
Sun Weimin was surprised to see cave dwellings in Inner Mongolia. In his impression, cave dwellings should only exist in northern Shaanxi, but since he saw them here, he couldn't let them go. He had to see them first.
Just like that, Sun Weimin walked into a small village. The village was not small. There were hundreds of families, mainly adobe houses, but there were also a few newly built brick houses. In the north of the village, there was a row of cliff-style cave dwellings. It seemed to be quite old and dilapidated. Sun Weimin did not care about the strange looks of the villagers. He walked alone on the dirt road in the village and observed the cave.
Just as he was about to finish looking at the row of cave dwellings from west to east, he felt that something was wrong, especially the cave dwelling on the east side. How could it be like this? Sun Weimin was terrified. This was a towering resentment! Sun Weimin had never seen such heavy resentment.
Since he was a cultivator, he naturally couldn't just ignore him. Sun Weimin made up his mind and went in to take a look. The yard was full of beehives. A man and a woman were sitting on the side, as if they were discussing something. When they saw someone come in, they stopped talking and said," We're not selling honey anymore. We're moving out today."
Sun Weimin understood. It turned out to be two beekeepers who rushed to the flowering period. Beekeeping was a very hard job. They had to run around all year round without a fixed place. Sometimes, they had to sleep in the wild for a long time. It could be said to be a hard job. Sun Weimin thought to himself," Looks like they're leaving to catch up with the flowering season. Since they're leaving, this house naturally has to be empty. I can ask."
Sun Weimin decided to speak clearly," Big brother, you misunderstood. I want to find a place to live. Whose kiln is this? I want to rent it."
When Sun Weimin asked this question, it was nothing, but the two beekeepers were very nervous and said anxiously," Brother, are you from outside? I can't live in this kiln!" When the man spoke, the woman started to cry and wiped her tears. When Sun Weimin saw this, he thought to himself, You guys also know that you can't stay here? Looking at that woman, it seemed like she had already suffered a loss.
Sun Weimin thought about it, but he still pretended to be strange and asked," What's wrong?”
At this moment, the man also had tears in his eyes. He shook his head and said," We really can't stay here. We regret it so much." After saying that, he couldn't take it anymore. He squatted on the ground and covered his head with both hands as he cried. He looked like he was in great pain. The woman was the same. She cried even harder.
When Sun Weimin saw this scene, he sighed in his heart. It seemed that it was the same as the last time when he had "stepped on wealth". He was one step late again.
It was just as Sun Weimin had expected. He had come too late. He only understood after he asked about the whole story.
It turned out that the beekeepers were a couple from Anhui. The couple had brought a seven-year-old girl to Inner Mongolia to catch up with the flowering season.
When the three of them arrived, they began to look for a place to live. Seeing that there was no one in the kiln, they wanted to rent it. In the end, when they went to the village to ask, they said that there was no owner in the kiln. The couple was very happy when they heard that. They began to pick up the road and prepared to move in. However, just as they were packing up, an old man from the village ran in anxiously and scolded them,"Do you want to die?!" You can't stay in this kiln! I think you guys are tired of living!
The couple was very unhappy when they heard that. They asked angrily,"Why can't we stay? Isn't this kiln ownerless?"
The old man saw that the couple did not know death and were still so impolite. He scolded angrily,"If you want to stay, then stay. If anything happens, don't blame me for not warning you. This kiln is haunted!"
The old man left in a huff after scolding, leaving only the couple behind.
After the old man made such a fuss, the couple was a little afraid. It was as if something was stuck in their hearts. However, the two of them discussed and decided that they were almost done packing up. So be it. What gods and ghosts? They had only heard of them, but who had really seen them? The husband and wife were people who had traveled far and wide, so they were bold enough to stay here.
Nothing happened during the first few days. Everything was normal, so the couple forgot what the old man said. Every day, she went out to release bees and scraped honey.
It was about four or five days after they moved in. That night, the sky was dark and the beehives were collected. The family of three lit candles and sat on the brick bed for dinner.
As they were eating, his little girl said," Mom, Mom, why isn't the old granny coming over to eat?”
The husband and wife were stunned when they heard that. They thought to themselves, where did this old lady come from? They didn't understand what was going on. The two of them looked at the little girl strangely.
When the little girl saw the adults looking at her like this, she opened her eyes wide and pointed at the northwest corner of the brick bed." That old woman. Why is the old woman sitting in the corner and not coming over?"”The little girl asked the couple curiously.
This time, the couple was frightened, but they really couldn't see any old lady. The man was unhappy and scolded the little girl," What nonsense are you talking about! Eat your food!" As he spoke, he raised his hand to hit the little girl. It seemed that the man was a little guilty. He did this to boost his courage.
When the little girl saw that her father was going to hit her, she cried aggrievedly. The woman's heart ached when she saw this, so she coaxed the little girl to eat properly and not talk nonsense.
The little girl was obedient and didn't say anything. The three of them were in no mood to say anything. They ate and went to bed early.
That night, nothing happened. The next night, during dinner time, the little girl spoke again and asked," Mom, when did our family buy the New Year paintings?”
When the man heard this, he asked curiously," What New Year painting?”
When the little girl heard this, she stood on the brick bed and looked straight at the bare yellow adobe wall. This was an old granny with white hair, this was an old grandpa with a long beard, and this was an elder sister. She was so beautiful.”The little girl gestured as she spoke, pointing at the wall as if there was really a painting on the wall.
The couple looked at the little girl's abnormal behavior and were so scared that they could not speak. They could not help but think of the strange words the little girl said yesterday. Of course, there was also what the old man said. The two of them felt that something was wrong now and did not dare to scold the little girl. After coaxing her for a long time, they finally made the little girl stop. The whole family had a hasty meal and went to bed. The husband and wife both felt that something was wrong, but they did not dare to mention anything in the middle of the night. They could only endure until dawn.
After daybreak, the husband and wife discussed it and decided that they really couldn't stay here. They decided to hold on for a few more days before leaving. However, he was afraid that something would happen to the little girl, so he asked the woman to stay at home to take care of the doll. The man went out to release the bees and quickly scraped some honey so that he could leave.
Just like that, another day passed. When it was time to cook at night, the woman also realized that something was wrong. She took a look and saw that there was not a single drop of water in her vat. The woman knew that she had just picked a full batch this morning. How could there not be any? Needless to say, this kiln was really haunted. After she understood, she didn't say anything. She went out to fetch a bucket of water and prepared the meal. When it was time to eat, she told the man about this. The two of them discussed it and realized that it was really strange. What the old man said was probably true. This cave was not clean.
That night, the couple decided to move the next day. The man would go out to find a car to pull the beehive, and the woman would stay at home to pack her things.
The next morning, the man went out to look for a car. The woman was packing at home, and the little girl was playing in the yard. Unexpectedly, something happened. For some reason, the little girl climbed to the top of the kiln and fell down. The top of the kiln was more than ten meters high from the ground. The little girl's blood splattered all over the ground, and she died after struggling a few times.
When the man found the car, he looked at the dead child and the crying woman. He also cried and shouted," It's my fault! Blame me!" It was as if he had gone crazy.
Once the child died, the couple couldn't leave. They had to ask the villagers to help take care of the child's funeral. It was delayed for a few days. When the child's funeral was settled, they bumped into Sun Weimin when they were about to leave.
After listening to what happened, Sun Weimin was in a bad mood. After all, that was only a seven-year-old child, but he didn't know how to comfort the couple.
Just as the three of them were feeling sad, the carriage with the beehives arrived. Sun Weimin didn't say anything and helped the couple load the carriage. He felt that this was the only thing he could do now.
After sending away the beekeeping couple, Sun Weimin's heart was in turmoil. He could not forget the woman crying when the car drove away. We left the doll behind! Baby!"
Sun Weimin's heart felt like it was being pricked by needles. He looked at the dilapidated cave with hatred and muttered word by word," Resentment! Sleepy! Otaku!"
