Strange things about wandering in the village

This is an old story that is widely circulated in our village.

Around 1940, rural folk beliefs were still very strong, and they also believed in fortune telling and other things. This anecdote was also verified by my grandmother.

At that time, my grandmother was only in her early teens, and there were wandering spirits in the village. Our village has always believed in Guan Di, that is, Guan Yu. But the statue of Guan Di in the village temple is not the original one. This is another story, which will be mentioned later in the story.

At that time, four young people were needed to relieve Guan Gong's wandering spirit, so there were rules for choosing these four people. The zodiac is not too old, and there has been no funeral at home recently. That day, it was strange that four people were chosen. The four men just lifted the shelf and didn't walk a few steps. The person on the left feels so heavy that his legs are about to fall to the ground. The other three just held on and didn't let the shelf fall down.

The man stood up and shouldered the shelf. Without taking two steps, four people inexplicably rushed to the pond in front of the temple. Then the man who just fell was forced into the water by one end of the shelf and ate a lot of water. The other three people were surprised to see it. They immediately carried the shelf back, and the pond was not deep. After the man who was choked by water surfaced, his shoulders were directly red and swollen.

At that time, something was wrong with the temple owner, so he immediately asked the man if he had a wife at home recently and asked him to nod frequently. At that time, when a woman was pregnant, the men at home would also be stained with yin. So they can't lift their spirits, which will anger the immortals.

After that, the master chose a man from the candidates, and everything was normal when he was wandering. I heard that at that time, four people who were wandering and carrying shelves were flying, and the people behind them could not catch up at all, and the four people would not feel tired, so it really felt like a godsend, because once a year, the fairy was of course happy ~
