Chapter 2: The Night of the Soul
After the death of Uncle Niu and Niu Xiao, the villagers crowdfunded the coffin money, because of the climate, the mortuary only stopped the next day and hurried out of the funeral, and the strange thing is that the coffin could not be lifted. Several old people came to persuade me when they heard this, I don't know what this kind of call is, I only know that they said that this situation is that Uncle Niu has an unfulfilled wish and is unwilling to go.
After more than an hour of persuasion, it didn't work, so someone said: "Call the kid who gave birth to persuade him, maybe Uncle Niu thought it was Niu Xiao who he pushed, so he refused to leave." ”
So someone called me. Originally, my father and mother felt that they couldn't stand Uncle Niu and Niu Xiao because of this, and they didn't want me to go at first, but as soon as Uncle Niu refused to leave, my father and mother had no choice but to take me to the coffin.
According to what my father and mother told me on the road, I walked up and knelt in front of Uncle Niu's coffin with a "poof", crying and saying, "Grandpa Niu, I really didn't push Little Brother Niu, you can go with peace of mind." ”
After finishing speaking, everyone lifted it again, and the coffin was lifted, and then it went all the way to the tomb. For the next few days, I asked my father and mother what death was, and my father said impatiently, "The person who dies is the one who sees the person who wants to run away later." "I pretended to understand, and if I asked again, my dad would give me a big mouth.
Seven days after the burial was the day of rejuvenation, and my father and mother would not let me go out during the day, and my mother would not go out of work, but would watch me at home. I also slept with them when I slept at night, I was sandwiched in the middle by my father's steamed buns and pickles, my father turned over, and I was overwhelmed, and I wasted a lot of strength to sit up.
Just as I was about to find a place to sleep again, I saw two figures, one large and one small, outside the window. The small one is Niu Xiao! The exaggerated head shape of the tip of the bud valley is the only one in the whole village.
"Little Brother Niu!" I screamed, waking up my father, and my father kicked me in the leg, and said angrily: "Make a hammer trouble!
"You're lying! Little Brother Niu is there!" I pointed out the window, and my father and mother turned their heads and looked frightened, there was indeed a figure.
"Uncle Niu, when you were alive, our family didn't treat you badly! We also sent rice noodles from time to time, what happened to your grandson about my son!" My father endured the fear in his heart, and yelled at the figure in a daze, while my mother hugged me tightly with my eyes blindfolded.
After Dad finished speaking, the two figures slowly shook away, and the posture was like two sticks shaking.
Mother wonders, what are you doing here if you don't come home to us?
Dad said: "Uncle Niu doesn't have anyone in the family to cook and entertain, so it's understandable that he won't go back when he dies, but what are his grandfathers and grandchildren doing to give birth? Could it be that he knows?"
I listened in a daze, and after a while I fell asleep again, and it was not until the next day that I learned that the result of their final discussion was to take me to the temple, and that last night's movements, only one morning, half the village knew about it. When I saw us along the way, there was no one who didn't avoid us, and they were afraid that they would be contaminated with bad luck and consume the grandfather and grandson of the Niu family.
We went to a temple on the mountain, my father and mother discussed with the master inside for a long time before taking me to the Buddha hall to ask for a red rope to keep safe, the master said that this kind of thing has to find a Taoist priest with ability, otherwise you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime.
"In our poor place, where to find some immortal Taoist priests, it takes a lot of effort to find a temple!" "Dad is very angry, if Li Guidao didn't die three years ago, maybe I can still be saved."
"Didn't you persuade him to leave? Why did you come back again?" the mother's words woke up his father, and he began to doubt. "Didn't you persuade you to leave when you left?"
Dad was taken aback by his own thoughts, but if you think about it carefully, there is indeed some truth, because the immortal lock given to me by Li Ghost Knife can not only prolong life, but also drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters.
"Evil...... "I wouldn't have been allowed to go, and if I didn't go, maybe I wouldn't have been able to do this." "What's going on? The monks in the temple don't have any skills, and there is no Taoist temple in the ten miles and eight towns, where can I go to find the master who does things. ”
The mother comforted her father and said that there was still an immortal lock. But just relying on the immortal lock to exorcise evil spirits is not a long-term solution, my father cleaned up some entanglements, handed over all the affairs of the family to my mother, let my mother take care of me, he has to go out to find someone who has the ability.
My father went for a few days, and my mother was not at ease, so she took me to work every day, but every time someone saw us, we hid far away, even if a child came to play with me, I would be dragged away by my own adults soon.
I asked my mother why, but my mother didn't answer me, and said that I should play with my own, and don't worry about other things, but what does a child have to play, so I often pour the water from my mother's kettle to play with yellow mud alone. At first, it was a little interesting, but after a long time, it was not interesting, if it wasn't for my mother telling me that Grandpa Niu and his grandson had become "cats", I'm afraid I would have hit the dead Niu Xiao.
It was already a week after my father came back, and my mother saw someone coming back with my father, and half of my heart was put down, and the people in the village saw my father bring people back, and they all came to my house to join in the fun.
It was a young man who looked very young, and before he entered the house to discuss it, he said, "You guys have a lot of yin here......
The people around me pointed and said something like 'come out to deceive at such a young age', my mother was also a little uneasy when she heard it, and quietly asked my father: "Can this work......
Before my father could reply, the little brother spoke first: "Okay! Why can't it?
Father and mother quietly wiped a cold sweat, afraid that this "gentleman" was joking, and when the surrounding villagers heard his tone, they were even more sure that this young man had no ability.
"Don't look at me young, our ancestors have been doing this for generations, and my grandfather drove out the corpses of others fifty years ago!" the young man walked around the front of the house for a while, and finally stood at the window. "This is it, are they standing here at night?"
Father and mother nodded, and a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in her heart.
"Three hundred. ”
Father and mother were stunned at the same time, and couldn't help asking, "Sir, what three hundred yuan?"
Three hundred yuan is not big, but it is not small, and the mother thought that the father did not have enough money for others, and when she was about to ask, the young man said, "Three hundred yuan, buy your son's life with them." ”
After the young man finished speaking, he took out a few pieces of talisman paper with cinnabar from his pocket, pasted them on the window, and said something strange in his mouth, and after a while, the rune paper burned, and the people around him were stunned, and I stared at the fires.
It wasn't until the fires were almost burned that the young man turned around and said slowly with an unfathomable look: "It's good if you buy three hundred yuan of gold mounting paper and burn it at the intersection, nothing else." ”
My father trembled and asked, "Sir, I don't know how much you will be paid?"
The young man stroked his chin and said, "Is this a reward......
A tall and thin old man suddenly rushed out of the crowd, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Shen Baifeng, get back for me!"
The young man's expression was shocked, presumably he was Shen Baifeng. He turned his head slowly, his expression almost flattering: "Dad...... , how did you come along......"
The old gentleman is fairy, Shen Baifeng is tall, thin and young, the two are not like father and son, but like grandchildren.
"You dead boy, you know I have a father!" said the old man, who walked up to him in three steps and two steps, grabbed his ear, and said, "Get back to me now!"
Shen Baifeng hurriedly agreed. The father and son sang and amused everyone alive, except for my father and mother.
"The little bastard dared to come to deal with things for others after learning a little fur, but fortunately, Lao Tzu caught you, go back and break your dog's legs!
My father observed for a long time, and felt that this old man was like a master, so he couldn't help asking: "Old man, can this business of buying life with money work?"
As soon as the old gentleman changed his previous fierce and vicious appearance, he explained it to everyone in three or two sentences. Shen Baifeng's approach is actually very easy to understand, it is nothing more than to let them be nourished after death than alive, and let them be satisfied, this method is feasible to deal with ordinary ghosts, as the so-called money can make ghosts grind!
Now the whole village has learned that they will burn gold mounted paper when they encounter something, but unfortunately no one tells them how much to burn and where to burn.
