Chapter 5 Returning the shoes
There are no entertainment projects in the countryside, so the village became quiet early, so even if a needle fell to the ground, it could be clearly heard.
Li Mazi was really scared. After squatting in the corner of the wall for less than half an hour, she was scared into a cold sweat, her face was rosy, and her hands began to tremble.
"Brother Zhang, we are not in danger now, right? And how sure are you able to cure this thing? Let me get a glimpse of it first, otherwise I will feel very nervous."
Actually, I am more nervous than Li Mazi. If this move doesn't work, I will be unable to do anything, and I may even be entangled with embroidered shoes.
But in front of Li Mazi, I had to remain calm, and just said lightly: "I am 90% sure."
The old broken bell in the hall was walking ticking and seconds after seconds. I felt relieved when I heard it. Time passed very slowly. After only an hour, I had three chills.
Moreover, the village was very dark, with no street lights, and even the moon was covered by dark clouds. Thinking about the fact that we were separated from the terrifying embroidered shoe by a wall, I was filled with all kinds of thrills in my heart.
The yard next door is very quiet, but it is logically wrong!
Because there are no mice or snakes in the deserted houses in the countryside, it is too unreasonable. I thought about it and it was probably the credit of the shoe.
After all, the embroidered shoes are too fierce, and the invisible animals like snakes and rats have the strongest response to the ferocious aura...
When the bell rang at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, my nerves tense all over my body. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be some movement in the embroidered shoes.
Sure enough, there was a movement on the other side.
It seemed like a slight wind blew into the next yard, accompanied by the sound of the piles of benches falling down.
Li Mazi instantly fell on me and twitched, and I cursed it for no use.
Soon, the slight wind stopped, and the dust in the courtyard blew all over the sky, and our bodies were covered with dust. Even if we could breathe, we could suck in a handful of ash at the bottom of the pot. It was really disgusting.
I forced myself to sneeze.
Dongdong, Dongdong! Gradually, footsteps began to sound in the yard.
The sound was blurry at first, but as the footsteps approached, I could hear it clearly.
It was like a man walking around the yard with his legs lame.
I tried not to let myself think randomly, but my mind still couldn't help but see a woman wearing white clothes and disheveled hair looking for shoes everywhere in the yard.
And as the footsteps approached us, they ended abruptly, Li Mazi began to twitch again, and my heart was also thinking about it.
Damn, was it discovered?
Li Mazi unconsciously looked up at the wall, which made me feel very uncomfortable. He began to fantasize about the scene where the long-haired woman climbed onto the wall and watched us from a high place.
Just as I was thinking about it, bubbles began to gushes in the ancient well, as if the well water was boiling. The sound was loud, and it seemed particularly abrupt in this quiet night.
I seemed to hear a miserable cry of a woman from the ancient well.
The thud footsteps sounded again, and the speed was very fast, and they arrived at the edge of the well.
A huge sound of jumping into the well sounded, and the boiling well water finally calmed down, and the whole world returned to silence again.
I waited for another half an hour, but no follow-up news came.
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and said.
Li Mazi had already been frightened and her whole body was convulsed. After hearing what I said, she immediately took a long breath: "Brother Zhang, rub my legs, my legs are thrusting violently..."
I carried Li Mazi to the room and survived this difficult night.
As soon as the sky was dawn, we rushed into the yard quickly.
When the door opened, Li Mazi and I both got goosebumps. The willow branches in the courtyard were well placed, but the ash at the bottom of the pot was blown away. The footprints of two large and small pot bottoms on the ground covered the entire courtyard.
And the embroidered shoes I put at the door last night appeared at the well for some reason.
I know that the other embroidered shoe must be in the well. But how can I catch the shoe below?
In the end, Li Mazi had rich experience in life and found a craftsman in the village who "draws wells and fishes pumps" and used an iron hook to grab it in the ancient well.
At first, what was caught were all messy debris, aquatic plants, garbage, etc.
But soon, the iron hook caught a heavy thing, and the craftsman couldn't even pull it up with his strength.
Li Mazi and I went up to help together, and finally pulled out the thing bit by bit.
And when this thing came out of the well, everyone was stunned.
That was a broken cabinet!
The cabinet is very old-fashioned, with the red paint on the surface being soaked and the two cabinet doors are locked tightly.
I found an iron rod before finally prying the lock open.
The moment the lock was pried open, the iron stick in my hand fell to the ground with a bang, and Li Mazi next to me even screamed and ran away.
A white skeleton was huddled in the cabinet, and the coarse cloth clothes on her body were not completely decayed. It could barely be identified as a set of clothes from the Qing Dynasty.
And on the skeleton's feet, he was wearing a blood-red embroidered shoe.
Although the other clothes were soaked, the red embroidered shoes were still brand new.
I carefully observed the abdomen of the skeleton and found that there was a small skeleton in the bones on the abdomen. Needless to say, she was pregnant when she died.
All signs show that what I encountered was the mother and child meat seal.
The neighbor's uncle sighed, squatted aside, lit a cigarette, and started smoking quietly.
I knew that the old man must have some understanding of the story of this embroidered shoe, so I squatted beside the old man and asked the old man to tell me.
The old man obviously did not want to mention this matter more, so he simply said a few words: "During the Qing Dynasty, there was a wealthy family living here. His young master was so handsome that he had a big belly. The maid didn't want to have an abortion, so the young master simply put the maid in the cabinet and sank it to the bottom of the well. The pair of embroidered shoes was the only gift given to the maid by the young master, and she cherished it very much..."
After saying that, the old man stood up: "I'll go and tell the village chief that the whole village will collect some money tomorrow and buy her a coffin and bury her."
I took off the embroidered shoes on the skeleton's feet while there was no one.
According to the agreement between Li Mazi and me, the embroidered shoes belonged to me. This guy is quite good at doing things. Not long after he got home, he brought a lot of things to thank me.
He stayed at my house to drink at night. After drinking too much, Li Mazi asked me in a daze, why should I take these ominous things in the eyes of others? How much can a pair of torn shoes be sold for?
I can't say much, but if you meet someone who knows it, it's only a few hundred thousand.
Li Mazi immediately sprayed out a sip of wine he had just drunk. I guess his intestines were regretful. However, he did not say anything about sharing the money with me. He still wanted this little face.
However, he asked what kind of evil thing to find in the future, and could he share the accounts with 50% or 50%?
This is a good thing that I can’t find even with a lantern, so I agreed immediately.
Afterwards, I spread the news about the mother-child meat prints through my channel in the circle. A few days later, a beer belly with an official accent came to me. After a few simple greetings, I asked for the idea of looking at the mother-child meat prints.
Although the mother-child meat seal is an ominous thing, as long as it is placed in pairs at home, it can have a prosperous career.
The other party is a man in the officialdom. My tone is as respectful as possible, and I praised the mother-child seal to the sky.
The beer belly was quite refreshing, but I just asked, there were no side effects, right? After getting my confidence, I took away 800,000 mother-child meat prints.
Those who make antiques don’t open for three years and eat for three years.
