When I opened my eyes, I saw Wen Bao’s thin head. I was frightened by the yellow and sparse hair. I quickly turned around to escape, until my head hit on a wall that made me sober again.
Wen Bao stretched out a finger and gestured to me with a silence gesture. Then slowly drifted out of the door, and returned again. He patted his chest with hands and showed an expression of surviving from a disaster.
The drowsiness on my body finally dissipated. I discovered that Huang Xiaolong was not there. I saw the behavior of Wen Bao and understood that he didn’t cause any concern outside. I walked up to the window and looked through from a gap to outside.
Sure enough, the street lights had already turned on outside, and all the villagers, including Huang Xiaolong were wriggling around on the pier. It was estimated that this was the disgusting dance that Huang Xiaolong said.
After looking for a while, besides awkwardness, I couldn't see any problems with this dance, so I took back my gaze and wanted to ask Wen Bao about something.
Just turned around and I was frightened again. Wen Bao was watching the dance next to me. My nose almost touched his hair when I turn back.
The tip of my nose seemed had touched a piece of ice, and there was a faint of fishy stink. I hurried move back a bit. Because of my overreacting, Wen Bao looked at me confusedly.
I directly sat down on the bed and waved at Wen Bao. Wen Bao came over, I asked him, "Are they worshiping Gramp Hai?"
Wen Bao nodded and grin "Do you see that. They are dancing so ugly."
I nodded in agreement with him. It was not the right time, or I would record it for Huang Xiaolong. It was estimated that I could threat him for several meats. Wait, this was not the topic I should talk about. I felt that the topic had been biased by Wen Bao, so I hurried back to the original topic.
“At that time, when the villagers pushed you into the well, were they still controlled by Gramp Hai or still keep awake?”
Wen Bao thought about it for a long time, and then shook his head straightly "I don't know."
I thought for a moment and continued to ask, "What other strange places in the village besides Gramp Hai?"
Wen Bao was estimated to be a stupid ghost. After thinking about it for a long time. When I almost yawn, he said, "How about Xiuxiu mother?"
Who was Xiuxiu mother, I recalled that it seemed that during the daytime I did not recognize this person named Xiuxiu mother, so I rushed to ask for details.
Wen Bao said, "Xiuxiu mother never take a bath, and she always stays in the house. She does not worship Gramp Hai, but no one pushed her down the well."
“There is also an old house that is very strange. I always feel scared and afraid to go there. I saw someone inside once , he was really brave.” Wen Bao showed his adoration.
An old house? When I asked him, I knew what Wen Bao was saying. I had seen that old house. It looks like it had been there for years. I intended to take pictures with Huang Xiaolong, but we couldn't go there and the whole house was on a cliff.
At that time, I also asked Jiang Ada, according to his word later, it was cut into a cliff because a road was built in front of it. It's said that a family refuse to move when building roads. Because Jiang Da said the house had been abandoned, I didn't care about it at that time. Now it seems that there was also a place where the Nanyang Warlock could hide.
Wen Bao did not come up with other weird places. On one side, I send this information to Wu Jian by message; On the other side, I drew the topic back to Gramp Hai.
According to Wen Bao’s word, gramp Hai appeared when Wen Bao was very young, but gramp Hai was not there since the very beginning, because Wen Bao still had some vague memories. He couldn’t remember the exact time, but it’s sure that gramp Hai appeared in the village only a few decades ago. Soon after the appearance of Gramp Hai, village chief took the villagers to worship him.
Because the fishing village was different from other kinds of villages that villagers often had trouble in a moody sea. They certainly were more superstitions than those from other village, especially for thing related to sea.
No matter how simple the worship ritual it was, it’s difficult for villagers to sustain it if it had to repeat every day, moreover Gramp Hai’s worship ritual took place in the evening, which was even more unbearable. After a few days, there were fewer and fewer villagers participated in the worship ritual.
Although there was less worship, fishermen who went out to the sea did not encounter any danger. Gradually the other people didn’t care about worship ritual. At last, only several people would participate in the worship ritual. Sometimes there was none.
Until one thing happened in the village that cause villagers and Grandpa Hai almost stood on the opposite side.
The sons of Jiang Ada went to the sea with some of the most skillful young people in the village. They encounter a storm, the boat was destroyed and they died. It killed four or five people. Even for those who was seeking daily life in the dangerous sea, it was still a big news, so no one went back to worship Gramp Hai at that time.
The next night, the village chief acted like a madman. He let the villagers who were mourning their relatives go and worship gramp Hai. The villagers were sad because of the death of their family member. They certainly didn’t pay attention at him. But the Chief of village insisted. It was necessary to know that although they were superstitious, but all were struggling for their lives, so there was nothing to afraid of. And then a fight began.
In fact, in a small fishing village, everyone met each other every day. Even if there were any argument, it wouldn't be a big deal. It was just a word from the village chief that made things uncontrollable. The village chief said, those young people had an accident. It's because we didn't respect Gramp Hai.
At first everyone was mourning. The head of the village made everyone impute to Gramp Hai. He didn't bless us. Why should we worship him? So, the villagers were going to destroy the statue of Gramp Hai.
The village chief stopped them then both sides were mad and started to fight, in the conflict the village chief was threw into the sea and drowned.
While preparing to damage the statue of Gramp Hai, all participated villagers were controlled and they started to dance suddenly. After that, if someone unsatisfied to it, he or she would join the worship team in the evening to dance the strange dance. Gradually, all villagers joined the worship team.
In the end, Wen Bao told me mysteriously, “The village chief is not dead. I have seen him and he love to walk around in the village.”
The ghost of the village chief? I didn’t care. I looked at Wen Bao and suddenly felt something wrong. The story about gramp Hai that Wen bao said may be true, but he didn’t say a very important thing. Why Wen Bao would say that Gramp Hai was a big one, moreover he also wanted to sell it for money? If Wen Bao could say such a word, it was clear that he should had met Gramp Hai, or know what Gramp Hai was.
I looked at Wen Bao and I didn't know if he had forgotten this question or maybe he had any other reason.
