Yin-Yang Judge of Hell - C106
What the old man said about thirty years ago was a bit general. I calculated that it should be around 1975, when the old man was probably twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. The story happened between the old man and the production team leader. The whole thing was very simple, and the production team leader wrongly accused the old man of stealing food from the team. As for why he was wronged, there was no way to prove it. The old man had speculated that the production team captain had stolen the food and was afraid that the higher ups would find the wrong number, so he looked for someone to shoulder the blame. With that, he found the old man, because he was honest and easily bullied, and his family had no backer. First, let’s talk about this production team leader. He was the biological father of his boss, Li Changjiang, and he gave his nickname to Li Danna. First of all, this’ big shot ‘was not the person who was in charge of the overall situation. It had a special meaning, which was to like to steal things. This could be used as a proof of the old man’s conjecture to a certain extent. Li Dana’s father, who was the former production captain, died in the line of duty, so Li Dana took over his father’s job through the so-called democratic elections.
The lordmaster was wronged and naturally felt uncomfortable. He thought to himself, no matter how honest I am, I wouldn’t dare bully others like you. Thus, he started cursing with Lee Da Na. He scolded them for not being able to solve the problem, so they began fighting. However, fighting would not solve the problem either. At this time, Li Da came up with an idea. Of course, it was a bad idea. He had to ask the gods to make the vows in front of the deity statue and the old man. Perhaps because the countryside was closed down and the activities of “breaking down the four old lands” had not yet been carried out, these old things still existed, and it was only in the year 81 that the land began to be divided.
Since Li Da Na had mentioned it, he must have his own thoughts. The gamble was also absurd (or perhaps it seemed absurd to us, for it did not happen to us), or put a large incense burner in front of the Landlord, put two sticks of incense on each side, and ask a notary to testify. The two of them knelt on one side, each holding their own words. If anyone said it out loud, they would ask the land official to put down the incense on the other side, meaning that their hearts were not willing to be burned by the incense.
The old man honestly did not think too much and believed that he did not do anything wrong. Even if there really was a god, he wasn’t afraid, but he did not expect that Li Da Na would actually collude with the notary. The result was as one might well imagine, the old tutor’s side had collapsed. Later on, when the boss told me about this matter, I found out that he had taken Li Da Na’s money and tampered with the censer, the censer’s ashes were split into two parts, and were pressed down on Li Da Na’s part, so the incense couldn’t be poured out at all, but the old gramps, on the other hand, was spread out loosely, and the censer was covered with another layer of ash, so there was no difference at all. Because they used pinch incense, the weight of the larger, so inserted in the soft on the fragrant ash will slowly tilt, and finally down.
The old tutor was speechless. He had said that he was panicking, that he was the one who stole the food, so they would start a fight every time the meeting was held. According to the old man, there were many ways to criticize him at that time, to make him kneel on the table, with a sign hanging around his neck, and then to pull his hair and slap him in the face or spit at him, and sometimes to let him slap himself in the face and apologize to everyone. Everyone knew what was going on, but they didn’t dare to say anything. They didn’t dare to offend Li Datong. I think that’s what the old man said at the wine table yesterday, “I didn’t even shed a tear when I was beaten up.”
The old tutor didn’t shed a tear, but no one could bear such a shameful thing. According to the old man, he had opened the lid of the bottle several times in preparation for death. However, when she thought of how she died, she couldn’t live alone. Furthermore, she didn’t have any children, so she had to let her ancestors down. Therefore, she didn’t have the courage to die every time. Just like this, the old man was being criticized every day at the meeting. When he returned home at night, he would hug his wife and cry bitterly. Therefore, the old tutor had said that he had never cried before, meaning that he had cried countless times in public.
When people feel desperate, when there is no way out, they will think of unconventional means to change the status quo, that is, poverty changes, not conventional means often with the meaning of a quick cut.
The old tutor was truly infuriated, anger rising from the bottom of his heart and rising to the surface. He was ready to give it his all. So he picked up a knife on a rainy night and went to his house, but he failed because he was caught as soon as he jumped into the yard. According to the elementary school textbooks, if this person was unlucky enough to fart, he’d smash his heels into the ground. The old tutor was one. He hadn’t expected that Li Dannan was in the room playing cards with a few other people, for fear of being found out. The windows were closed and the voices were quiet. Therefore, the old tutor was like squinting his eyes as he dove into a wolf’s lair.
Li Da Na didn’t even mention their personal grudges and insisted that the old man was taking advantage of the night to enter the house to rob them. It was completely possible for him to commit a life of malpractice or breach of law and order, and if this hat was taken down, it would be a huge problem. But Lee Dana did not do so and chose to beat him up. If you dare to say no, you will be charged with this crime tomorrow during the battle.
The old man had said that he had been thrown into a ditch that night. Before he left, Li Dannan said, “I will step on you for the rest of my life and see what you can do about it!” The lordmaster couldn’t do anything by himself. Even if he was openly bullied, he wouldn’t be able to find anyone who could uphold justice. At most, he would only have the right to complain.
Not only did he blame the heavens, he even did it.
The old tutor dragged his injured body back to where the Earthen Lord was. The shrine was long gone, and the statue of the Earthen Lord was in the rain. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. He pointed at the statue and cursed. He cursed that the heavens were unfair and allowed the wicked to live freely. According to the old man, perhaps it was due to him seeing things for himself, but after scolding to the point where a bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, he vaguely discovered that blood was continuously flowing out from the deity statue’s eyes. The old man was scared and quickly took off his clothes and put it on before kneeling on the ground and complaining about his grievances. In the end, he did not know what was on his mind, but he still listened to others. He took a rock from beside him, gritted his teeth, and forcefully smashed down three of his fingers, offering them to the Earthen Lord.
“Heaven is unfair. I am willing to offer up three broken fingers to you for your judgement. “If I am lying, let me die a horrible death. If my words are not false, let the wicked die a horrible death!”
After the old man finished speaking, he kowtowed towards the deity statue in tears and kowtowed continuously. Unexpectedly, the deity statue fell down with a loud crash. I have seen the idol of my earth father-in-law. There is a base under each statue to reduce the pressure, so it is impossible to fall. At the time, the old man thought that Earthen Lord didn’t want to accept the case, but I think that he was too polite. Of course, this was a little ridiculous. If one were to consider reality, the only possibility was that the ground underneath had collapsed. However, if there wasn’t anything below, how could it have collapsed? If there was something down there, what would it be, that was unknown.
I have seen the old man’s hands without his little finger, ring finger and middle finger. Furthermore, the degree of the cut varied, indicating that it was not cut in one stroke. Therefore, it was quite possible that he had used a rock to smash it.
Actually, the blood oath that the lordmaster had made at that time had only vented the pent-up rage that had been building up for a long time, and had not been able to be fulfilled either. The old man had also learned to be a good boy and no longer contradicted Li Datou. I’ll do whatever you say, as long as his skin is a bit thick, he’ll be able to live his days. Thus, after a year of stress, the old man entered the summer of 1976. First, it was Li Da Na’s mother who was pestered by the fox spirit, and wailed all night long with pain in her heart. She even ate medicine, but the teacher also saw that it was useless, and finally died from the pain.
After his mother died, Li Danna became restless and came to the house to make trouble every few days. It was said that every time she came, she would cry on the roof, saying that Li Da Na had done something bad and had caused her no peace. Ever since his mother died, he had the same dream every day. He dreamt that he was always somersaulting on a high platform. When he was tired, he would sit on the platform and look down. One month later, Li Da Na’s wife suddenly died without any warning and was unable to find the reason. Another month later, Li Danna’s daughter, who was supposed to be the eldest brother’s sister, fell into the water and died. In just three short months, three people had been sent out. This was very unusual. Li Datong seemed to have felt that something was amiss and was afraid. Thus, they went to the street to find a wager stall with Wang Tianma, and told him about the strange things that had happened at home, as well as the dream he had had, so that he could calculate the mysteries of this place. The fortune-teller didn’t know what to do, but a dreamer beside him said, “No one can save you. Go home and prepare for your aftermath.”
When Li Datou heard this, he immediately became paralyzed and hurriedly asked what was going on.
“The high platform in your dream is called the hometown platform. The people who died cannot bear to leave their homes. If you stand on them, you will be able to see your hometown. If you roll over and over on this platform, you will be tired of living. ”
Li Da Na saw that his words made sense, so he asked for his help in resolving the issue. Who knew that person would turn around and leave, leaving behind a sentence, “I can’t change your life!”
Li Da Na died a few days after returning home. His stomach was as big as a drum, and he died from anger. He only left behind a child that was not even five years old. He was his current boss, Li Guo Qiang.
This passage was later told to me by the boss, so I put it here for the sake of convenience. When the old man spoke to here, the old man had just opened his mouth to ask something. At this moment, Leng Wuzui woke up with a “Ouch!”. He hurriedly went over to help him drink some water.
“That’s not right, old man.” I asked, “Based on the way his family died, it seems that your blood curse has been fulfilled and given to his family, then Little Li Guorong must not have been spared, but how did he manage to survive?”
The old man was just about to speak when his phone rang. It’s Sister Yun. I didn’t answer, but signaled the old man to continue, then texted her, “Yes, I’m busy.”
“I only remembered the blood curse I made in front of Earthen Lord a year ago. Although I am not sure if the disaster was related to this blood curse, my heart is filled with guilt. Because the grudge between me and Li Datong is very simple, who would have known that someone would die! “
