Chapter 8 Fight the snake and don't die
Zhou Xiaoliu kept pressing his anxious heart, waiting for everyone to seem to be asleep, and then like an underground party knocking on the door and calling for fellow villagers, he called out in a suppressed voice: "Old man, old man, come out quickly." ”
The old man floated in slowly from outside the door: "What, what are you calling me for?
"A ghost outside the breath, does a fart count?" Zhou Xiaoliu said angrily, she pointed to her stomach, "You show me, I accidentally ate a ghost today." ”
When the old man who was sitting in the air heard this, the old bamboo pipe in his hand almost fell off, "What? What did you eat?" The old man stared at it, and sure enough, he saw a miniature version of a long-haired female ghost lying on his stomach in Zhou Xiaoliu's dantian position, and the female ghost turned her head gloomily and smiled at the old man. The old man was surprised: "Is it her?"
It's a lonely ghost, and I don't know where it came from.
The dead ghosts in these ten miles and eight villages, except for the special case of the old man, all guarded the spirit cards issued to them by the ghosts, waiting for the night of their 100th birthday to open the reincarnation gate. This spirit card is equivalent to the identity card of the underworld, and it also has a certain binding force, which ghost has done evil, the spirit card will be automatically recorded, deep karma, can not be reincarnated, not to say, but also to hell. As for why it is different from the legendary person who is dragged by black and white impermanence to reincarnate after death, the old man said: "The Guide to New Ghosts" does not say that it is the reform of the underground government system. As an old man who lived from the end of the Qing Dynasty to 77 years, his ability to accept change is not ordinarily strong.
That night, no ghost knew where she came from, but she was swollen, her hair and clothes were soaked, and she floated a watermark in one step, and she didn't talk to other ghosts, just straight up and floating all over the map. The unknown is always a little scary, and the ghosts didn't dare to talk anymore, but looked at this female ghost from a distance. Later, the female ghost stopped under the big camphor tree by the stream at the entrance of the village, stroked the old bark, and then got into the tree and placed it on the old camphor tree.
This female ghost is not a good stubble, especially the second night when she lived in the old camphor tree, the wind was fierce at night, thunder and lightning, and the old camphor tree was split off a big branch, but this female ghost was not hurt at all, but she was not afraid of the sun during the day. Since then, this female ghost has opened her bandit ghost life, not to mention robbing other ghosts' dark clothes and dark coins, and often scaring the souls of children, through the mouth of the goddess to the east and west.
"Why did you provoke her?" The old man asked Zhou Xiaoliu helplessly, after listening to Zhou Xiaoliu finish talking about the part where his parents fought, the old man glanced at Zhou's mother's position: "She wants your mother to be a stand-in", the old man looked at Zhou Xiaoliu's dantian again, and said: "You eat her into your stomach, and you don't have the ability to kill her, she is occupying a position and can't come out, thinking that it is better to find another time to harm your mother again." ”
The female ghost was suddenly irresistibly sucked into Zhou Xiaoliu's stomach, she was very panicked, but after a while, she found that the binding force on her body had disappeared, so she was lying on Zhou Xiaoliu's dantian at the moment and was ready to wait for the opportunity.
Zhou Xiaoliu was anxious: "What should I do then?" Although Zhou's mother said that she was not as good as her son, she would occasionally give her a few bites of food from her bowl, looking like a loving mother who would rather let her child eat when she was hungry. If the female ghost succeeds, it will become a lonely ghost and a wild ghost, but it will be Zhou's mother.
At this time, a sound of "mmmmmmmmmmmm
The old man glanced at the female ghost and found that the female ghost was no longer holding Zhou Xiaoliu's dantian, but looked at the movements of Zhou's father and Zhou's mother in the bed with a resentful face, the old man's eyes rolled, and said, "Xiaoliu, do you dare to go over and interrupt them?"
The female ghost raised her head out of Zhou Xiaoliu's belly when she heard this, and also looked at Zhou Xiaoliu expectantly. Zhou Xiaoliu was startled by this big ghost head that came out of her belly, and saw the old man holding a rune paper and signaling to her, she thought about it and shook her head, interrupting her parents' husband and wife fun, what if they are not in harmony in the future......? I must not do such a lack of morality.
While paying attention to the female ghost's reaction, the old man pointed to the rune paper in his hand and said, "You just said that there is a mouse ......."
The female ghost nodded vigorously when she heard this, and her body floated out again. Zhou Xiaoliu saw clearly that the rune paper in the old man's hand was a soul collection talisman, it was said that the old man had saved three years of dark coins, and he bought several useful and useless rune papers from the ghost who came to issue ID cards to the new ghost.
Zhou Xiaoliu secretly gave the old man a questioning "Are you sure" look, and when she saw the old man nodding, she closed her eyes, "Okay, I'll try, I'm dying", she deliberately slowed down, stretched her head out of the soundproof barrier, and cried in the direction of the shelf bed: "There are mice, there are rats......"
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother in the bed stopped their movements instantly, and Zhou's father cursed in a low voice: "Dead girl, I owed her in my previous life, this is a debt collector!" Zhou's mother was embarrassed and covered her face with the quilt raised.
The female ghost laughed sharply, laughing and laughing, her whole body floated out, and the old man took the opportunity to pinch the trick and wave the talisman, a golden light lit up, and the female ghost screamed again. However, this charm did not contain the female ghost, but only severely injured her. The female ghost's body is now not only dripping with water, but also dripping with dark red blood, staring at Zhou Xiaoliu and the old man with a resentful face, and then looking at Zhou's mother who was covered with a quilt with pity, and then looking at Zhou's father with a sad face, and then turned around and fled.
Seeing this, a thought flashed in Zhou Xiaoliu's heart: This female ghost can't be in love with her father, although her father is indeed very handsome, or is she simply unaffectionate?
Zhou's father and mother on the bed didn't feel the movement in the enchantment at all, they only thought that Zhou Xiaoliu had a nightmare with rats before they muttered, they each lay flat, and fell asleep after a while.
"Now the beam is bigger, you won't die if you fight the snake, and the trouble will be endless!" said the old man worriedly. He picked up the rune paper that had fallen to the ground and had turned black, and with a wave of it, the blood and water marks left by the female ghost disappeared.
"With one less one, alas, why is the money always not enough to spend...... the old man pulled out the wide sleeves of his coat, and there were not a few talismans left, so he said with a little pity.
"Old man, come here", Zhou Xiaoliu beckoned to the old man, it was time to talk to him about life.
The old man saw that Zhou Xiaoliu's expression was wrong, so he said in a fierce voice: "Dead girl, I am your grandfather, do you still know how to respect the old and love the young?"
"Say, why do you ask me to memorize those books, and let me recite mantras in those strange postures, you know that I am almost in an 'S' shape for a while, and a 'B' word in a while," Zhou Xiaoliu's tone was a little anxious, she worked hard for three years, but she could only see ghosts, and today she could only watch her relatives being haunted by ghosts but was helpless, "And this charm, you didn't say that you could take her in, but it just hurt her, you shouldn't buy defective products because you don't have enough money, right?"
The old man curtled his wide sleeves and sat in the air, his shoulders drooping, looking a little depressed.
"Do you know what a poor ghost is?" asked the old man softly, and then suddenly roared, "I am a poor ghost!"
"I'm so poor, it's all your fault, in a few days, when your parents go south to work, I'll take you out for a walk in the middle of the night, and you'll know the reason." The old man seemed to have exhausted all his strength after roaring, and his shoulders drooped a little more, and slowly floated out.
"Yes... I'm sorry, I just ...... "In a hurry!"
"Before they left, you stuck to your mother, don't let her go near the big camphor tree by the stream. The words fell, and the figure of the old man disappeared.
