Chapter 3 Breaking the Levee
Zhang Xing was so frightened that she shuddered and looked at Mrs. Ji in a daze.
Ji Pozi snorted coldly, grabbed the yellow watch on the right hand in his hand, lit it across the candle, and suddenly threw it at Zhang Xing. Zhang Xing was so frightened that she almost screamed, and took a few steps back. Fortunately, the yellow table fell between the two of them, and it didn't really burn Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing shrank in the corner, frightened. Ji Pozi, who was sitting in the middle, threw away the yellow watch, held the table with both hands, and shook her head and hummed again, as for what she sang, not only Zhang Xing couldn't understand it, but even Ye Hexiang couldn't understand it. Ye Hexiang hurriedly asked, "Daxian, is there anything wrong with my daughter?"
Ji Pozi shook her head and whined: "She is not a whole person, she only has two souls and five souls on her body, and one soul and one soul can't come up in the river." ”
The ghost in the countryside village has been said for a long time, and this Ye Hexiang is a person who likes to gossip all day long, and she doesn't know how much she has heard about it. This person has a total of three souls and six souls, and it is definitely not a trivial matter if there is one soul and one soul missing.
"How could this happen? isn't my daughter still good?" Ye Hexiang stammered.
Mrs. Ji glanced at her, and continued to whine: "She looks okay now, there will be a catastrophe in a few days, even if she survives, she will only have a year or two of yang life." ”
Ye Hexiang was frightened and asked, "Then, what should I do? Daxian must save my daughter's life." ”
"There is a water ghost in this river who has been accumulating years, your daughter was entangled by him, he has been following her for the past two days, and her soul and soul are detained by him. Although I have already sent him out, he is looking for a stand-in, and he will definitely find him again. Ji Pozi rolled her eyes and rapped.
When Ye Hexiang heard this, her face turned white with fright, she was thick-skinned, and people pointed at her backbone and scolded, she was not afraid, she was afraid of ghosts. Ji Pozi's words reminded her of what happened last night - in the middle of last night, she was about to get up to pee on Zhang Jinbao, when she suddenly heard a cry, the cry was very strange, like someone was crying, but it was not quite like it, in the middle of the night, I only felt desolate and sad in my ears, and people couldn't help but want to cry. She was so frightened at the time that she didn't give her son urine, and pretended to be asleep when she turned her head upside down. The crying continued for several hours, and she did not move, nor dared to sleep, but stayed up with her eyes open, and only fell asleep after the rooster crowed.
Now that I think about it, didn't that cry come from the back? Doesn't Zhang Xing Zhang Tao live in the back room? My own daughter knows that she will never cry wolf in the middle of the night for no reason, but now that I think about it, isn't there a ghost?
Thinking that the water ghost would be found in the future, the back of her neck began to feel cold, Baba looked at Ji Pozi and said, "Daxian, this, this, is there a way to ......"
"There is a way. Ji Pozi rapped. Ye Hexiang was afraid that she would miss it, so she leaned over, and Ji Pozi was singing and rapping, and she nodded along with her.
After the matter was handed over, Ji Pozi convulsed again, and after a while, she leaned back and fainted. Ye Hexiang had seen others invite God, and she didn't panic, she just helped Ji Pozi to sit on a stool and waited patiently.
After a while, Mrs. Ji woke up leisurely, asked about the process of inviting God, nodded, and said: "We did drown people on the side of the head bridge in our village, but you didn't get married at that time, so you didn't know about it." The one who drowned was a brother from Fushun in our village, and he was fifteen or sixteen years old when he died. This water ghost is not easy to reincarnate, and he is a man whose life is not over, and he can't go, so it should be him who detains the soul of your big girl, he is trying to find a stand-in. ”
The water ghost is looking for a stand-in, Ye Hexiang has heard a lot, and when she hears it, she is afraid, and she is even more afraid when she is in turn, pulling Ji Pozi to talk, wishing that she would not go home this night. Zhang Xing, who was in the corner, watched her mother pull Mrs. Ji to talk farther and farther, and secretly wiped the cold sweat on her head.
Zhang Jinbao yawned again and again, Mrs. Ji was really going to say goodbye and go home, Ye Hexiang had to stop talking, picked up ten eggs sent by Li Cui's this morning, and stuffed them with a bowl for Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji smiled and carried the eggs home.
As soon as Ye Hexiang turned around, she saw Zhang Xingjing standing quietly in the corner, she couldn't help but shiver, and impatiently ordered: "It's all asleep, what are you doing standing here?" She also closed the door early and hugged her son to bed.
Mrs. Ji's words left a deep shadow in Ye Hexiang's heart, she was really afraid and anxious, but the time had not come, she could only endure it, she was terrified every day, the more she looked at her eldest daughter, the more she felt that it was different from before, although she was a little dull and stupid before, but she was still good at work. And now it seems to be smarter than before, but the work is not good, and many of the work in the field seems to have not reached out again, and it is impossible to do a single thing in half a day. Ye Hexiang was afraid of ghosts and gods, and her eldest daughter didn't know anything at once, she didn't dare to fight, and she didn't dare to scold, so she had to do it herself.
Fortunately, the fifteenth day of this month came quickly. She is usually very stingy, but this time she is ruthless and bloody, and she is really tired in the past few days. According to the explanation of the mother-in-law of the season, a villain got up with thirteen copper plates, and pasted the birthday of the eldest daughter Zhang Xing on the back, and threw it down in the middle of the bridge at the head of the village at the third watch in the middle of the night.
After doing this, Ye Hexiang looked at her daughter Zhang Xing again, and she felt much better. Although the eldest daughter did a lot of work not as well as before, she knew a little more than before, and she didn't know anything before, which was much better...... Since ancient times, it has been said that illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread, and the root cause is lifted, and if she wants to come for a while, she will restore it. She secretly rejoiced in her heart: It was Ji Pozi who was invited at the beginning, and she suppressed the water ghost in one fell swoop, otherwise if something happened to the eldest girl, it would be strange if Jinbao's father didn't kill her.
May of this year soon arrived, after several days of heavy rain, the water level of the Huai River, which was not low, rose more and more, and the news came down in the township, asking the village to draw some strong men to go to the embankment, Zhang Shuisheng came back from Quantang Town, rested for a night and went directly to the embankment.
One night, Zhang Xing woke up from her dream, and broke out in a cold sweat, the light cold of late spring invaded silently, she couldn't help curling up her body in a ball, shrinking in the hemp quilt, but she still didn't feel warm.
There was thunder and lightning outside, illuminating the silence of a room from time to time, the wind blew the panes creaking, the window paper was torn, and the cold wind poured in, Zhang Xing felt more and more cold, thinking that it would be more difficult to bear the rain for a while, so he sat up and watched in the house by the light of lightning and thunder, hoping to find an object that could shelter from the wind and rain.
However, this house is really poor, and the furnishings in the room are only one bed and one cabinet, and the bed is made of a few wooden boards. She looked around to no avail, so she simply pulled out a piece of the plank under her and tiptoed to block the loophole.
From the window, I saw that the wind was roaring outside, thunder and lightning were combined, and all the shadows in the light and darkness were dancing with teeth and claws, hideous and terrifying. Zhang Xing couldn't help but feel a little timid in her heart, and in her uneasiness, the wooden board in her hand "crackled" and fell to the ground, and the thunder and lightning at first burst into her hair, full of horror.
She turned around and rushed out, the farm tools placed against the wall in the dark almost tripped her, and she didn't care about the sharp pain in her toes, she quickly stood up, pounded the door of the front room, and screamed: "Mother, mother......"
The door opened in a while, lightning appeared again, Ye Hexiang stood at the door with a cloak, and opened her mouth and said: "Dead girl, in the middle of the night, you call the soul!"
Zhang Xing was only wearing a single coat, I don't know if she was afraid or frozen, she was trembling all over, her fingers were out, and she trembled and said: "Mother, listen, you listen, Yu'an has broken the embankment, Yu'an has broken the embankment!"
