freak, but it happens that I am also a hunter. Freak. So whenever he encounters strange things, he is willing to turn to me to share his curiosity. Happy. I just got a call from him. He said he was out on the road and back. With many new and interesting stories. I came right over because I was on a break. Annual leave, so they just moved in with him. Every night, I listened to him tell these strange stories. Just one a night. My friend raised his index finger mysteriously to show me as he smoked a cigarette. "Look, Each person's index finger represents human greed because the desire to eat is the most basic human Ben and the primal desire. Do you know why they call it the index finger? Because the ancients said that once See delicious things the index finger will beat, not there is an idiom called "index finger big move." Huh? I'll tell you a story about the index finger right now." With that, he put out his cigarette and began to tell the story. "When I went to a small town in the southwest, I stayed with a family that had A very old man; the old man spirit is very good; I have nothing to talk about with him. And from his mouth to know such a story. In the period of the Republic of China, here If a girl wants to marry a good family, she must first have a good figure, especially the waist. It is said that some people have a clear standard scale, accurate to the millimeter. (I laugh) "This is too exaggerated.". The thinner the girl, the prettier they think she is. Look It is exactly the opposite of fat beauty in the Tang Dynasty. Maybe the local people are very anti-pig. Sense, also on the tomato, that as long as it is fat, it is ugly. thayna The girls are desperately dieting; in order to be able to have a step three shake, the wind blows catkins. Floating soft body. Among them is a girl named Show, since she understands her own lifetime of happiness. If it is inversely proportional to your waistline, stop eating meat and include pasta. But seem Fate likes to play jokes with people. Even though the show keeps moving from morning to night, only If she eats a little fruit, she will gain weight. Maybe it's genetic, as we'd call it now. Question: Maybe it is a disease. But they didn't think so back then. those Skinny girls are laughing at Xiu in the back, saying that she is a pig spirit reincarnation. Family members I can't stop sighing. Because her body has been getting fatter, let alone marrying a Good family. I'm afraid even the poorest of the four old families in the area do not want her. Speaking of the old four, in fact, with the show home to find a few lines of kinship, but this Kind of relatives are like hair on the head; more than can be counted, they cannot fall on a few every day. But the son of the fourth month showed his childhood sweetheart that two people often played together when they were young. However, since the show was determined to marry into the rich family, he broke off the relationship with the old fourth son. But the son of the fourth has always put the show in his heart. It's a show like this. Parents also cannot care; their biggest wish is to quickly marry the show out and save You have to stay home and make yourself look bad. After all, they don't think their daughter's the kind of thing they need. There are a lot of them. The son of the fourth is called the people; in fact, the appearance of the way is also handsome, but the family is poor. It was shabby, but very clean, both the people and the clothes. Show the father how to put this Things to the old four, not to mention, the old four father and son did not want to agree. Results in a day I have already completed the tedious procedures of proposing, appointing, answering letters, and holding a banquet. It was a record at the time. Show, despite all kinds of grievances, who called their fate is not good. Or else After a few years, I am afraid that even the people will look up to themselves, not to mention the husband to their thousands of Yi. Good, love; the days will also be over. Things are often so coincidental; perhaps it is for feng shui's sake; perhaps it is the mood. That's why. Show married to the old four family after wasting away and finally became a local famous The skinny beauty. Too bad she's a married woman. But a lot of people still want her. They don't care about first or second marriages there. Because a wife for those people It's just a fertility tool and an improvement in feng shui at home. Show himself is not at ease. And she insisted on not having children. This token The people were very distressed. He knows he can't keep a show without kids. In fact, there is Can the child be kept? Show home, do not live, see the day, and some friends chat. Street, or visit a big family. Not like the wife of a poor family. She seems to be thin if the disaster, as people know, only shows her as fat, but she will be at ease staying in this home. Before long, Xiu really got fat again, and everything seemed to return to the past. She again A farmer's wife for the first time. She resented the manipulations of fate. Only the people laughed. table But on the surface, she complained while comforting her. Day is like a shuttle weaving clothes in the repeated shuttle. Ten years passed. Xiu also gave birth to several children. She's not dreaming anymore. Live in peace with the people. Until their daughter grew up. The moon was born very beautiful and absorbed the advantages of his parents. But it seems she's also Always in the condition of not being fat or thin. Even a little plump once in a while. In fact Not fat at all by modern standards. But Show is not willing to repeat their daughter. Old mistake. She began to control her baby's diet very early. But it is not very effective. I see that the moon is almost 16. But his waist is bigger than that of a girl his age. Anxious shows can't sleep every day. Watching his wife make dark circles under his eyes every day. The people finally can't help it, or He thought that time had diluted everything. What's wrong with telling your wife? It matters. That day, the two of them slept in bed with their clothes on. Show still toss and turn to sleep. Civilian bundle She leaned over. "Do you know why you suddenly lose weight when you pass through the door? Are you there? ' Su shook her head strangely and then asked, 'Why?' 'That's because I, although my family is poor, know a way to make people thin. But what the ancestors told us is forbidden; with more control of the bad, we will get retribution, but what exactly retribution? I'll do it to you when you get home. This trick, and then you tried to leave, and I took it away, so you got fat again. ' The people said it sadly. The show is too old to be angry. In fact, she already felt that she had suddenly become thin. Getting fat again may be a trick of the husband, but hearing these wonderful words will also make you feel I'm curious. "Well, it's all over; I don't blame you, but you can't delay the moon. Oh, I want her to marry a good man! Just tell me! ' When a wife is in a hurry, she wants to stop talking. Finally, he raised his index finger. And said to Xiu, 'It is a finger. ' 'A finger? What do you mean? ' Xiu asked curiously. People tell stories of legends in Hundreds of years ago, our ancestors kindly took in a beggar during a time of famine. supposedly This so-called flower is not a mortal; it is a traveling folk Maoshan sorcerer who is pretending Beggar to see the kindness of the people. He saw that the fathers of the people had a good heart. Local church Some spells are for the people's ancestors. Passed down from generation to generation, most have been lost. Only this slimming method is strangely retained. But Min's family has been Began to fall. I am afraid that this and the folk spread the use of the Maoshan method of many taboos. Relevant. Maoshan art taboo is very much, once destroyed, light is bad luck, heavy Blood disaster and even disaster for future generations. Compared to the ancestors of the people, they must have done something with magic. No injustice is rewarded. As for this spell, Min told Xiu to, in fact, just swallow his index finger. Nails will do. But it only works for a few years at a time. And there's a limit to how thin anyone can be. You use it too much. They say terrible things end up happening. Because it only became thin, the people's family rarely used it, but the father of the people Or teach the people to use it. 'No wonder you were so kind to give me a manicure every time you saw me. show Say it in a strange tone. Min felt a little embarrassed. Touching his wife's face, he says, 'I'm not Or because I like you. ' "Forget it; I am not angry; you will do this tomorrow; quickly let the moon. Slim down. ' Min nodded, and the couple went to sleep again. Sure enough, not long after, the moon really thins down and is ten miles, eight towns thin. The most beautiful and spiritual. The neighbors praised the people and showed that they had raised such a good daughter. I'm sure I can marry into a good family. The couple could not close their mouths with laughter. But unfortunately, one of the biggest families in the area is mainly looking for a daughter-in-law. this A rich man is the aforementioned daughter-in-law, whose weight and waist circumference are accurate to the smallest single kind of person. Of course, she let her daughter try. Too bad it was so close. And the moon is already the lightest. The rich man put out a word; no one in a week Well, if he did, he went out of town. Show wanted to let her daughter marry in. Then he forced the people The second cast. The people said helplessly, 'Have you heard of the divine patriarch Dai Zong? Actually, like that. There are different kinds of techniques. It is said that one of the messengers was delayed in delivering the letter. Afraid of being scolded, a good new Maoshan sorcerer taught him to prick the soles of his feet with silver needles, to suppress the pain, and to release blood. You can walk 300 a day or 300 a night. It is true. Then the messenger again asked the magician for advice on how to run faster. The magician said that as long as the kneecaps of both legs are dug out, you can walk twice, day and night. A thousand miles. Then the messenger ran away: ' 'Why are you telling me this? ' Xiu asked curiously. 'I want to tell you, if you still want to let the moon thin down, pay It's not a nail, 'said the people anxiously. The show was silent for a long time, and finally Insist that the moon must enter that rich family's grand family. The people asked the daughter In my opinion, the moon naturally wants to mother a happy home out of poverty, as promised. You can't beat two people. But this time, the moon must eat his index finger! Big families don't care about losing their fingers, as long as other standards are met. Yeah, I can say the finger was broken when I was a kid. So the moon just bites teeth. He dropped his index finger and ate it. Sure enough, the next day, the moon was noticeably thinner again. Hand injury is good; immediately go to the rich man's home. The rich man is worried about it. Overjoyed. The marriage was settled quickly. And the whole finger thing seems to be Gradually forget. Things slowly returned to being quiet. People and shows also rely on the money of the rich family. Led a rich life. At this time, there was a war going on in central China. But the flames of war You can't burn this place. It's still a paradise. Not long after, she got pregnant and gave birth to a son. Seems good Thing. But soon her body swelled up like a balloon. Once and for all Clear up. The husband's family was puzzled by the sudden fat of the moon, and they turned it around. To the people and show, and said that after marriage, a little fat can, but like the moon, I am afraid it is difficult. As the daughter-in-law of his family. If Yue'er continued to gain weight, they decided to lay her off. Show cried and asked the people; the people thought for a long time. I looked through some books. Finally, know and produce When the woman gives birth, massive blood loss breaks this spell. Show in the birth of the moon When it had become fat, the people did not care that this technique would actually be solved. affair To this point, the show looked at her daughter's body like a balloon and cried and scolded the people. "Even if it changes back, our moon should not become like this!"' People told the show that once the spell is saved, the body will be like a backlog of springs for a long time. Strong rebound, and the nutrition of the month is rich; that is, ordinary people are easy Fat. 'I don't care; my family won't be able to survive here, And my grandson, Xiu's son, will not see you; how can you? ' The people grabbed their heads, looked at the tearful daughter and wife who were crying on the side, and finally It is hard to say, 'It can still be done again. But... ' 'Don't buts; I'll give anything to save my daughter.' Show Cry Begging for the people, the moon also kneeled on the ground for his father. "I don't know what the consequences will be, because even my grandparents never did this. Like again and again, they repeatedly warned future generations that they used too much art. There's going to be hell to pay. ' 'Maybe it's just the monk who scares you, and you say no one has ever used it, How do you know you're going to be punished? ' Xiu asked. The people were silent, the most Then he agreed to do it one last time. This time it is not the finger of the moon, but the index finger of the people and the show, because children and parents have an invisible bond. If one side passes on some of its illness or pain to the other side, it can be transferred. So Yue The son swallowed the index finger cut off by his parents. People and show endure the severe pain to settle well. Daughter sleep. Two people stay up all night by the side, afraid of what is bad. Things seemed to go well, but the next morning, the moon resumed before the marriage. body, like a young girl. Couple two people, this is just at ease to send the moon back to the public. Public, where the husband and other people are also surprised at a look, but since the thin nature It was a good thing, and the family went back with a smile. Min and Show also go home well. The healing of the wound. But late the next night. When people were sleeping, in-laws suddenly sent people to report Funeral, tell the people and show hurry to come. The original night moon died suddenly. And afraid to die Horrifying. I got dizzy when I heard the show. People alone can identify the body. Yomin His head went blank, and he was led into the scene like a zombie. daughter It was hard for him to just go. But when he saw his daughter's body, He almost fainted when he was a corpse, if you like. The whole person is like being bitten by an animal; there is no piece of the whole body. Good meat. It's almost like a skeleton. The distance from the bed to the ground was nearly two meters. It's all the tracks the moon pulled out—blood and bits of flesh scattered everywhere—the moon's Head up, hands out the door, probably fell off the bed to open it, but He died after only a few meters, and he probably suffered a lot before he died. How can the people I don't understand. Is this what we call retribution? Looking at his daughter's body, he didn't give a shit. Stock do on the ground, suddenly old tears. Due to the horror of the death and the fact that this rich man is very well connected, Few people know the truth about Yue'er's death. She was told she died of a sudden illness. The rich gave peace to the people. Show them a lot of money to get them out of here. Unfortunately, show your daughter's tragic death after remorse. And then he killed himself. The people also disappeared. It is said that Maoshan art itself is a kind of exorcism and transfer of magic. For example The sorcerer can turn other people's meat or food into his own hands, or he can let Transfer your pain to someone else. I guess this technique will also be their own. The body fat was transferred to someone else. But every art has a self-destructive side. The people The repeated practice finally paid off, unfortunately, for his own family. As for the moon's tragic death, In fact, it is the art of going back to eat. There is one of the six paths in Buddhism. Stalkers are hungry ghosts. They are small, like ants, but they are numerous. they Hungry in life, ghosts eat everything when they die. The index finger is the symbol of human appetite. Levy. To eat your index finger is to make a contract with a starving man. They can Help you eat all that nasty fat and fat you don't want. But once the contract is Control it or overdo it, and they will swallow you up." At this point, my friend leaned over to me and whispered, "When I hear this The old man said the story: I cannot help but caress my own index finger, which is, I think, difficult. Tao Zhen eats his own.I think it's hard. Did you really eat your index finger and get thinner? Just as I was wondering, the old man was laughing and getting up. I noticed that one of his hands had only four fingers; the only one was less than the index finger. I later found out four inquiries, and the people on the side said they didn't know the old man, saying that the old man was coming after liberation; everyone called him Bo." I didn't say anything. I also touched my index finger like a friend, and I suddenly remembered the ants that had been seen in the past. Suddenly, a pang was felt. My friend looked at me, and I snapped my shoulder and said, "Don't worry. There are some things that are, no, no, not by human force." "That's not necessarily the case. You don't want to be a man of fate." I also laughed. My friend looked at me. "So you hear the story of the half-face." "No." I looked at him, and his face was suddenly so weird. The face was like clay. "Well, tomorrow, you see the sun coming out." Friend suddenly Normal refers to the sun outside the window. I had to suppress my curiosity and go to sleep first. Wait until the night.
