Chapter 5: Summoning Spirits in the Country
Early the next morning, Mom and they returned. I briefly explained a few words, and said that Mo Crazy's mother fell ill in the countryside, and I went to see. My mother told me to take care of my health and let me come back quickly. I said "um", and when the door closed, I looked back with affection, and I didn't know whether I was dead or alive.
This time I was going to a small local village called Xincun. Sitting in the car, it was a bumpy drive all the way to the new village. Zhang Lin on the phone said a few words to me very anxiously, asking me to rush to the house surnamed Li, which is closest to the Land Temple. Listening to him, this family has encountered some things recently, and I don't know what it is, but I heard him say that he is very anxious and anxious, and listening to him looks like he is more anxious than burning his eyebrows.
When I arrived at my destination, I threw up. Nima, this road is also too steep, and I don't know how many times I have bumped up and down. I've always had motion sickness, and to put it mildly, riding a bicycle can make me dizzy for several times. I couldn't take care of these anymore, so I hit a local fire and went to the house surnamed Li. The more I walked to his house, the stranger the people on the road looked at me, and they looked at me with disgust, like seeing a plague god, wishing I could go immediately. When he arrived at his house, Zhang Lin had been standing outside and waiting anxiously. As soon as they saw me, it was as if they had seen light in hell.
"What's the matter, let me come all the way. I asked him. He was silent and led me straight to the main entrance of the house. "Old man and old woman, this is my friend. When they saw me, they were excited, so they knelt down, took my hand, and begged: "Please save us, save my daughter......!" I couldn't bear it, so I quickly pulled them up, sat them down, and slowly explained the matter.
"Our daughter, who died in a mudslide the other day, was dug up with mud all over her face, but her expression was very happy. These few nights, I can always hear someone knocking on the door of our house, shouting as they knock, 'Mom, Dad, open the door, I'm Honghong.' It sounded like that of our daughter. But we heard from the people in the village that if someone dies, we must not open the door, so we dare not open the door. Please, save us, tonight is my daughter's first seven!" The old woman wiped her tears as she spoke, and Zhang Lin on the side also had red eyes.
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, my friend will find a solution, you can rest assured. Zhang Lin comforted the old couple, I glared at him, he also glanced back at me, and motioned to go to the back room to say. I understand, of course. After comforting them, Zhang Lin and I went to the back room.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you carry the burden on me, I don't understand anything"
"Naturally, there is something to do with you, otherwise I can just find someone to do this, there is no need to invite you specifically~" Zhang Lin said, "When the time comes, you can listen to my command and draw talismans." ”
"Your dad hasn't taught me how to draw talismans. I pouted and tilted my head to one side, but my eyes were sneaking a glance at him.
"It's still the same sentence, I will also draw talismans, it is useful to find you, and then I will take you directly to feed the ghost tonight. "He was in a hurry, and I didn't dare to say anything, just waiting for the evening to come.
All afternoon, the clock ticked by. I pay a lot of attention to the clocks, and basically what I do in the afternoon is shopping, eating, looking at my watch, shopping, eating, looking at my watch...... And so the afternoon was consumed. Good times, to be exact.
Before dinner, Zhang Lin had been hammering nails in the back room, and I asked him curiously what he was doing, but he refused to answer me, just kept trying to do his own thing. I "cut" and went back to the dining table to eat.
"I'm done, I'm tired. Zhang Lin walked out while wiping his sweat, and his dust-infested face was no longer as white as before, but became a "carbon man". I laughed out loud and sprayed all the rice into the bowl, not to mention how disgusting it was, and I had to watch Zhang Lin's angry eyes eat the rice I spit out little by little......
"Let me tell you what we're going to do tonight. Zhang Lin looked at us with a clear eye, as if announcing major news, "Tonight, we will all go to the back room, tie your big yellow dog to the door, and bring some rice, and we will arrange the scene." Then, trouble the second elder to call all the men of your family to the house, otherwise they will all die tonight. ”
They all have to die...... I realized the importance of the matter, and the two old men were also frightened to throw away their chopsticks when they heard these three words, and the old man hurriedly went to call their brother-in-law. After a while, everyone came, and now the sub-room was much more lively. However, because of those three words, it is much heavier.
Time passed faster than in the afternoon. It was already close to ten o'clock after eating.
"Grandpa, do you have cinnabar paper and pens at home?" asked Zhang Lin.
"There is this, a few days ago, I heard people in the village say that the outside is a little unclean to buy, saying that it is to ward off evil spirits. The old man said.
Zhang Lin made a look, and I was forced to say, "Give it to me to use, it will be of great use tonight." ”
"Is that a coincidence, Bodhisattva bless!" the old woman was very excited, and immediately went to bring it out for me.
I was at a loss when I got the cinnabar paper, but fortunately Zhang Lin knew me on the side, otherwise I would have been ugly.
With all the power of calligraphy, a beautiful charm was drawn. Soon I drew a few pictures, and the old woman thought that she had met a master, and she was respectful to me, which made me embarrassed.
If it is convenient to say, I will call the old woman's daughter's brothers-in-law.
The second uncle and the eldest uncle were bold, they went out to lead the yellow dog and sprinkle rice, and the first uncle cleaned up the house, and Zhang Lin and I were busy decorating the inner room. All for tonight's uninvited guests.
The clock was approaching twelve, and we were ready. All the people gathered in the back room, and the two of them were in a corner, forming a triangular array. There were no lights on, only a candle in the middle of the triangular array, five talismans, and a basin of cinnabar water. I looked at the time on my watch, and it was a minute before twelve. At this time, the scene was surprisingly quiet, and even the sound of a heartbeat could be heard. Twelve o'clock! My watch clanged, and my heart jumped.
At this time, the dogs barked outside the house, and then all quieted down, except for the big yellow dog barking outside.
"Here ......," Zhang Lin said, the old woman did not dare to open her eyes, and kept sitting with the old man at the closest point to the door, motionless reciting the Bodhisattva's blessing.
"Dad, Mom, open the door, I'm Honghong. The voice came as expected, and I got nervous. First the hall, then a few rooms, and finally to us. "Dad, open the door, I'm Honghong. "I was taken aback, I arrived at us so soon!" Zhang Lin gestured to me, signaling me not to make a sound.
"Mom, open the door, I'm Honghong. ”
"Uncle, open the door, I'm Honghong. ”
"Uncle, open the door, I'm Honghong. ”
......
The people outside the door shouted one by one, and none of us dared to make a sound. Zhang Lin lit the candle, cleared his throat, and said, "Why are you here?" ”
There was no response from outside the door, just a vigorous and repeated shout.
"It seems that your daughter does not want to negotiate. Zhang Lin walked to the door, "I can only let her in." ”
"3, 2, 1" Zhang Lin whispered and slammed the door open.
"Open the door!" The delicate girl suddenly became thick and terrible, and I could clearly see that a woman with a face covered in mud rushed in at once, he was floating in the air, and the candle could not catch his shadow. She rushed to the triangle formation without any scruples, and Zhang Lin shouted: "Pull!" My uncle and uncle and I pulled the red line around the triangle formation. The woman in the middle, no, the female ghost wants to escape, but she hits a wall everywhere. She looked at me fiercely, I didn't dare to look her in the eyes, closed my eyes and turned by feeling. Zhang Lin asked me to go into the battle and take out the charm, of course I didn't do it, but I couldn't stop doing it, so I had to reach in with one hand and take the charm. The female ghost saw me put my hand in, and she grabbed my hand.
"Pull me, I'm being pulled. I shouted in fear.
The female ghost was surprisingly strong, and the second uncle kept pulling me, but to no avail, I could only remain in a stalemate.
"Ji Ye, use a charm. Zhang Lin pulled the rope and shouted hard.
I didn't know how to use it, so I took one and threw it on the female ghost's head.
"Forbidden spell, broken. Zhang Lin shouted.
I saw that the spell rose into the air and ignited. The female ghost was so frightened that she shrank into a corner. Immediately afterward, a bright light surrounded her. Zhang Lin didn't dare to slack off, and asked his uncle to fix the rope around the triangle array. The female ghost was still struggling, and kept coming towards us. Little by little, seeing that she was about to highlight the aperture, Zhang Lin smeared a little black dog blood on his hand, and gently clicked it on the broken aperture like mending the sky. "Ahh She stared at me the whole time. Do you have a grudge against me?
Everyone rested for a while and let the old couple go to sleep.
"Why are you coming back. Zhang Lin asked.
"I didn't drown in a mudslide, no!" she widened, "I was buried alive, please, help me, I don't want to die so inexplicably, I don't want to!"
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went out to light a cigarette, looking at Zhang Lin in the room and they were still asking. The female ghost's expression changed dramatically, from fierce at first, to pleading, to crying. Looking at her movements, it seemed like she was talking, but I was too far away to hear clearly.
Zhang Lin came out, leaving the eldest uncle, second uncle and second uncle to guard the female ghost on the triangular array.
"There are mediums in the house, otherwise the big yellow dog at the door would not have let her in easily. Zhang Lin borrowed the fire from my lighter and said, "Have a good rest tonight, and we'll look for a medium tomorrow morning." ”
Zhang Lin turned around, gave the uncle and each of them an identical charm, and instructed them to carry it in that room tonight, and if there was any movement, stick the charm on the nail. The man's yang qi is heavy, and with the red rope and the triangle array, the female ghost can't escape. I washed up briefly and went to bed.
Early in the morning, sunlight poured into my room. The weather was clear and the air was exceptionally clear.
Zhang Lin got up early and was having breakfast.
"Old woman, do you have any relics of your daughter? Zhang Lin asked while eating.
"JC found a pair of my daughter's shoes the other day, and I was reluctant to throw them away, so I brought it back. The old woman sighed as she spoke.
"So, can you show me the shoes? Zhang Lin finished eating and said to his mother-in-law.
"Okay. The old woman tinkered with the box for a while, and took out a pair of beautiful embroidered shoes. Zhang Lin looked left and right, said thank you, and went to the back room.
The three brothers-in-law in the inner room slept very well, and the light in the triangular array disappeared.
"Did you run away?" I asked Zhang Lin. He said, "No, you can't see her during the day." ”
"That'...... How did I see that girl yesterday? "I'm weird.
"I'll explain to you later, and now I'm down to business. He took the embroidered shoes and sprinkled cinnabar water on them.
"You can go with confidence, we will help you find the real murderer, don't keep it again......" Zhang Lin let the old couple finish saying this, and the old woman couldn't help crying. Zhang Lin can't see these either, after all, his father, my master, he has also experienced it.
"At 12 o'clock in the evening, take a rooster, tie this shoe to it, stick it with a charm, and let it run on its own. Zhang Lin explained a few words, and we also waved our hands to say goodbye.
"Grandpa, granny, take care. I waved goodbye to them, and the old couple waved their hands and helped them in.
That night, I dreamed of the girl. She is grateful for everything I have done for her, and she is about to set off, hoping that we will be together in the next life.
When I woke up from the dream, it was morning. We didn't go back and stayed in a guesthouse.
"It's time to go. "Zhang Lin is putting on his shoes.
"What are you going to do...... I got out of bed in annoyance, but before I knew it, this job was inseparable from my life.
