Chapter 106 Knee Bone Clay Pot

The old witch doctor glanced at me, his eyes were cloudy, and even his eyes were a little white. It looked as if there were two glass balls embedded in the eye sockets, which was very scary.

She spoke slowly to me: "The land master was angry, so he punished the villagers in this way."

"Lord Tutu is angry?" I laughed dumbly, luckily she could figure it out.

But looking at her serious expression, I really didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Soon, a strong man with a big belly came in on crutches. He glanced at us casually and sat down across from us.

"If someone dies in the village, you will have to be buried with him! So you'd better get rid of this thing quickly." The strong man said fiercely.

I nodded repeatedly.

I know this strong man is not joking. Even if he kills us here, the police probably won't find out.

Then chop Li Mazi and I into pieces and throw them into the mountains to feed the wolves, and we will really disappear from this world completely.

If you want to solve the problem in Baisha Village, you must understand the ins and outs of the whole thing. So I asked him patiently, what happened here? You must tell me everything exactly, without leaving out a single detail.

After getting to know him, I found out that this strong man’s name was Niu Dazhuang, and he was the village party secretary.

The village party secretary in this remote area is just like the local emperor. The town and county will not care about it, so they basically live a self-sufficient life.

Niu Dazhuang went to high school and was the most educated person in the village. After all, he is educated and knowledgeable, and he knows that the current village will only become poorer and poorer, so he decided to use his identity as the village party secretary to carry out a 'cultural revolution'.

All children must go to school, and villagers must farm less and grow more fruits, striving to rid themselves of the poverty-stricken village.

Although Baisha Village is poor, there is fertile soil everywhere. If the wasteland can be developed into orchards, one can imagine the future.

Niu Dazhuang was a sharp talker. Under his persuasion, all men, women and children in the village came to reclaim wasteland.

But just a few days after the reclamation, something happened!

That day on the back mountain, they dug up a lot of dead human skeletons, which were densely packed together. There were also many horse bones, which were piled up in mountains and broken into pieces.

There are also many rusty weapons, some of which are still inserted into people's bodies. The largest skeleton had more than a dozen arrows stuck in its body, and the scene was very thrilling.

The villagers, who have always been feudal and superstitious, feel that this is unlucky and are unwilling to continue cultivating the land. Especially the old witch doctor, who guarded the pile of skeletons day and night, chanting sutras twenty-four hours a day, without knowing what he was chanting.

She encouraged the villagers that these were the secret soldiers around the Tudou Lord, and if they continued to dig, they might anger the Tudou Lord. So no one dares to take action on this land...

Niu Dazhuang did not believe in evil and took a few young villagers to continue digging.

Unexpectedly, I found a stone tomb in the end. I don’t know when the tomb was. It didn’t even have a tombstone. It was just a tomb simply piled with stones. It was empty inside.

They dug an entrance into the tomb, and Niu Dazhuang got in first. It was found that there was only one offering table in the tomb, and a clay jar was placed on the offering table.

There was nothing else, not even the coffin was found.

Out of curiosity, Niu Dazhuang took out the clay jar. After opening it, he found that there was only a small piece of bone inside.

After identification, they unanimously determined that this small piece of bone was probably a human kneecap.

The skeletons outside the stone tomb are likely to be the bodies of the tomb keepers.

They destroyed the ancient tomb and nothing happened for several days.

The villagers were finally relieved and began to reclaim the mountains behind them again, because for them it was not just about clearing wasteland, but also about finding a way out for future generations!

However, on the second day when the whole village was busy working, things started to happen...

First, when some villagers went home at night, they always felt that someone was following them, but when they looked back, there was no one there.

Then when the villagers were eating a big pot of rice together, they found that there were enough bowls, but there were not enough. After checking and counting, it was finally discovered that many bowls filled with rice had been carried to the corner inexplicably.

Even when I was sleeping at night, I could often hear the sound of fighting coming from the back mountain. It seemed like there were thousands of troops fighting, and it seemed like someone was shouting in pain.

For several days, such strange things happened, making the villagers panic.

It wasn't until a villager sleepwalked to the back mountain in the middle of the night and saw the skeletons on the mountain standing up to chase him that the villagers realized the seriousness of the matter. Maybe the whole village would die!

That's why I was asked to slay demons.

The reason why he came to me was because Li Mazi had come to collect antiques and praised me as a god.

When Baisha Village encountered this situation, Niu Dazhuang thought it was probably the clay jar that was causing trouble, so he contacted me, hoping that I could help.

I didn't think much about it at the time. I thought it might be the villagers' psychology, so I simply asked Li Mazi to come.

After Li Mazi arrived, he followed the method I told him, gathered the bones into a ball, cooked them in a large iron pot, and piled them together to burn.

Then the clay jar was filled with lime, tied tightly, and sunk to the bottom of the lake.

Nothing happened in the first few days, and the villagers dared to walk at night.

But since Li Mazi left, the situation suddenly worsened!

The villagers had strange dreams one after another, dreaming of a black shadow standing on their knees. When they woke up, they found a pair of black footprints on their knees. And after careful comparison by Niu Dazhuang, he found that these footprints were of the same size and seemed to belong to the same person.

Niu Dazhuang realized that something was wrong at that time, and immediately went to consult the village witch doctor, the old woman who had just treated Li Mazi's leg.

After the witch doctor completed the inspection, he said that they had provoked the Tu Tu Lord, and they burned the Tu Tu Lord's evil soldiers with fire. The Tu Tu Lord was naturally angry, and even she was helpless...

Niu Dazhuang naturally did not believe the witch doctor's statement. After all, he graduated from high school and did not believe in ghosts and gods.

But in fact, many things cannot be explained by science, so this category is classified as metaphysics.

Niu Dazhuang still believed in the witch doctor's attainments in metaphysics. Many diseases that cannot be cured by big hospitals can sometimes be cured by the old witch doctor just by finding some herbs. This is obvious to everyone in the village, and Niu Dazhuang cannot help but believe it.

Niu Dazhuang, as the village party secretary and the instigator of this incident, begged the witch doctor!

In the end, the old witch doctor was really exhausted and could only tell Niu Dazhuang that she had a way, but she was not sure whether it would work? But no matter what the consequences of this incident are, Niu Dazhuang must bear them himself.

Niu Dazhuang agreed immediately.

The old witch doctor found the ancient well in the village and said that he would practice medicine next to the ancient well. He begged the land man to spare the villagers and put the antidote in the ancient well.

Anyway, the process was quite complicated. Niu Dazhuang did not go into details. He just said that the old witch doctor had been doing magic by the ancient well for a whole day. It was not until dusk that the villagers were asked to draw water from the well. Each person took a sip, and no more. .

After taking the well water, everyone's symptoms were relieved.

But this was only temporary. Not long after, the condition of the villagers worsened overnight. Everyone had blisters on their legs, and even insects could be vaguely seen squirming.

Everyone was frightened, and Niu Dazhuang could only go to the old witch doctor again.

And when he found the old witch doctor, he was horrified to find that the old witch doctor was trying to hang himself!

Niu Dazhuang stopped her and asked her why she did this? The old witch doctor said helplessly that the Land Lord had no intention of letting the villagers go, and even involved her in the matter.

So she had no choice but to commit suicide.

She said that she would rather hang herself than be tortured to death by the land lord, because such a way to die would be too miserable.

Niu Dazhuang could only comfort the old witch doctor and told her not to do stupid things. He had a way to save the villagers.

Of course, those were just words to comfort the old witch doctor. In fact, Niu Dazhuang was completely helpless about this matter.

Unexpectedly, Li Mazi and I appeared at the critical moment.

After hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh. The villagers' symptoms and even the details were exactly the same as Li Mazi's.

I asked Niu Dazhuang if none of the women dug up the pile of skeletons?

Why do only men have knee problems but not women?

Niu Dazhuang shook his head and said that all the villagers participated, regardless of men, women and children, except the old witch doctor.

Then this is strange. If the villagers were being retaliated for digging up the skeletons, why were the women fine? Could it be that the old witch doctor said that the land lord favors sons over daughters?

This is too ridiculous!

Seeing my hesitation, Niu Dazhuang hurriedly asked me if there was any way to solve the matter. I looked forward to the stars and the moon, and they finally looked forward to me. No matter what request I made, they agreed, as long as the whole village could stop getting sick.
