Chapter 32: Wandering

The lonely ghosts on the street then approached the shop, watching the paper people not hide their longing, but they did not dare to break into the store because of the charm on the door frame.

It turns out that the so-called painting eyes on the paper man will come back to life, but there will be lonely souls and wild ghosts who will take advantage of the weakness to attach themselves to the paper man.

It turns out that no one likes to be blind, not even ghosts.

I then took the white paper paste and repainted the face of the paper man, this time, I went to the place where I was looking and pricked the eye with a needle dipped in ink.

I put the remade paper figurines on the counter, and all the lonely ghosts that had gathered before were gone.

I recalled my grandfather's paper figures, and then picked up scissors to teach myself how to cut paper.

I cut and shuffled, and without warning, warm tears dripped from my eye sockets and onto the backs of my cold hands.

I was stunned, glanced up at the unclosed door, left the counter and closed the door, found a blanket and curled up on a wicker chair to rest.

As I closed my eyes, tears poured out of the corners of my eyes.

I let the tears flow, tried to empty myself without thinking, worrying, sad or sad, and let myself fall asleep as soon as possible.

I don't know how long it took me to fall asleep, and when I woke up, it was already dawn.

After I opened the door and had breakfast, I sat at the door and flipped through the old notes on exorcism.

In addition to the ability to exorcise evil spirits, the exorcism notes also include various special cases and the special skills and addresses of some friends of the old way.

At noon, there was a dirty camel on the street going door to door to get scissors on credit, first taking the scissors and not asking for money, and then collecting the money after the pork rose by another ten yuan.

For the people in the town, in the environment of stable prices at that time, waiting until the pork rose by another ten yuan before paying, it was equivalent to waiting until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse to pay, which was equivalent to taking scissors for nothing.

Most people find it strange that no matter how enthusiastic the camel is, they refuse to take scissors, and a few people think that the scissors given for free are not taken for nothing.

When the camel passed by the shop, he also gave me scissors on credit.

I glanced up at him and didn't give him any response.

He had already given away some of the scissors, but the bag on his back was a lot heavier.

Under the sun, he has no shadow.

He is neither a man nor a corpse.

Even when you demonize into a human form, you won't be without a shadow in the sun.

In my eyes, he is not a ghost, but according to the record of special cases in the old way exorcism notes, he should be a plague ghost.

"Do you want scissors? If you want it, it's not credit, it's a gift. He said again that he was sending it, but he still didn't get a response from me, and then went to other stores.

After he left, I continued to look down at the old way of exorcism notes.

At dusk the next day, someone from the town hurried over to the shop and asked me to exorcise evil spirits.

I was told that his wife had broken her leg in the morning and went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor told her to go home to recuperate.

Originally, the person was fine, but just now, his wife suddenly shouted on the bed, someone knocked on the door, and the scissors on credit came to collect the scissors money.

He hurriedly went to open the door, but there was no one outside the door.

At first, he thought that his wife was joking with him, but as soon as he closed the door, his wife started shouting again, someone knocked on the door, and the scissors on credit came to collect the scissors money.

Not only that, but his wife kept rolling her eyes with convulsions, and finally lay straight on the bed staring at the roof, no matter how much he and the children shouted.

He felt that his wife must have fallen into an evil spirit, otherwise he would not easily go to the underworld store to disturb me.

"It's an evil one. When she recovers, she will be fine for the time being. Come back tomorrow morning, and I'll tell you what you need to prepare. You'd better not go around saying that someone will go over to exorcise evil spirits later, unless you want her dead. I waited for him to finish his sentence.

"Okay, well, I'm not going to say anything. He nodded again and again, thanked him, and then walked away, looking like he would be unlucky if he stayed for more than half a second.

I waited until after dark, followed the address given in the old way exorcism notes, and went out to find a blind teacher.

In addition to fortune-telling, the blind master can also walk errands.

Ghosts hook souls, and people will definitely die.

Because the underworld sometimes needs to hook and summon the yang people to confront them, but the life of the yang is not over, and the ghosts in the underworld cannot hook the soul, so some people in the yang world need to act as messengers to hook the souls of people.

This is what I do.

Because of the convenience of work, I am very familiar with where people are about to die within a radius of 100 miles, as well as the longevity of people who are about to die.

I need to find out how many years the guest's wife should have lived through the blind master before I can successfully exorcise the evil spirits of the guest's wife.

I wasn't 100% sure that yesterday's camel was a plague.

As the guest came to the door and told him about his wife's situation, I was 100% sure that yesterday's camel was a plague ghost.

The pestilence's scissors or kitchen knife, take a handful and kill one person, if you are greedy to take more, you will put the life of the family into it.

For those who have scissors or kitchen knives, the plague ghost will come to the door every dusk to beg for a breath, so there are exclamations and abnormalities from those who have been recruited.

When the plague ghost comes to the door to ask for seven hundred and forty-nine days, the person will die.

I will take over the guest's exorcism business, but because I am not suitable to go to the ice cellar for a short time and basically have nothing to do, but because the blind master is close, and he still owes Lao Dao a favor.

It took me more than an hour to find the blind teacher on foot.

He lived alone at the end of the village, in a thatched hut.

The thatched huts are built low, and at first glance they look like round tombs.

White lanterns hung on both sides of the thatched hut's doorway, and two lit white candles stood side by side on the ground in the middle of the doorway.

I was close to the thatched hut, and someone bent down and walked out of it.

The man was fifteen or sixteen years old, with bronze skin, handsome and with a pair of peach blossom eyes, carrying a fat rabbit that had been skinned in his hand, and his upper body was still naked on a cold day, and his eyes were unharmed.

He smiled kindly at my arrival and showed a mouthful of white teeth, teasing me for being bold enough to dare to come here alone at night, mentioning that his master would not return for a few days after he was not at home, and asked me to pay attention to safety on the way back.

"If you want to drive away the evil plague ghost and beg for your life, but you don't know how much Yang Shou the evil person has, how many ducks should you catch?" I asked.

"Eh, which household in the town are you referring to?" he was surprised that I was an exorcist at a young age, and I already knew that the plague had been to the town.

After I gave the name of the guest's wife, he entered the house with the rabbit in his hand.

Not long after, he told me in the house that the guest's wife should have twenty years to live.

"Thank you. "I got the answer I wanted, and I left.

I hadn't taken a few steps when a short cry came from inside the thatched hut.

I stopped and turned to look back, and the smell of blood was already in the air.

I walked briskly to the door of the thatched hut, and the situation inside the house made me squint my eyes and stop abruptly.

The blind master's apprentice had had his throat cut, and blood was gushing from his wounds.

He sat cross-legged, no skin on his neck or above, his eyes plucked out and steaming hot on the low table in front of him.
