Chapter 17 Something to Ask For
Early the next morning, Qu Xin was left in the store. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoI went home by myself and had breakfast with my mother. When my mother saw me come back, she couldn't hide her joy between her eyebrows. No more asked, no blame. Just say, "It's good to be safe, it's good to be safe." I held back tears rolling in my eyes, and my mother's tolerance and understanding made me feel guilty and sad at the same time.
When I got back to the store, it was almost noon. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chen Mengzi, who lived on the corner of the street, rushing towards the direction of my store with a worried expression.
This Chen Mengzi is still Mu Feng's cousin. I opened a steamed bun shop in our town, and the old couple in the family are in their sixties. When he was forty years old, he gave birth to a little daughter named Xi Mei'er. It's twenty-three years old this year, and I just got married a few months ago, and I married in Zhangyuan County next door. This old couple is honest and generous on weekdays, and they are also quite popular in our county.
When I was about to arrive at the door of the store, I walked a few steps outside to meet him: "Uncle Chen, what's wrong with you being so panicked?" ā
Mu Feng also greeted him: "Uncle Cousin, why are you here?" ā
As soon as Chen Mengzi saw us, he knelt down with a "poof", and cried before he could speak: "Xiao Fei, you save my happy sister, I beg you to save my happy sister."
Seeing this, Mu Feng and I hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the person up: "Uncle Chen, what are you talking about, I will definitely help if I can help."
"That's it, Uncle Cousin, if there's anything you can talk about first," Mu Feng also said.
"Good, good, good" Chen Mengzi nodded busily and stood up.
"Uncle Chen, come and sit down, and talk slowly about what's going on" Qu Xin and Qu Yan also came out of the room when they heard the voice.
"It's my happy sister," Chen Mengzi said as he wiped his tears with his sleeve.
"Cousin? What happened to my cousin? Isn't she just married? Mu Feng asked anxiously.
I glanced at Mu Feng, "Don't worry, let Uncle Chen say it first"
After a while, Chen Mengzi continued: "After Ximei'er got married, she became pregnant not long after. Originally, the family was very happy, and they were all fine at first. Just two days ago, I didn't know what was wrong, but suddenly I started to go crazy. If the six relatives don't recognize it, they will bite people when they see them. Later, he became demented. The Wang family's bastards, seeing that Xi Mei'er was like this, actually sent her back and didn't care. Poor my happy sister, what can I do in the future. He cried again.
It is impossible for a person to suddenly go crazy for no reason, either because he is stimulated by something, or because there is a demon at work. "Have you ever been sent to the hospital?" I asked.
"We've been there, we've been there, and at first we thought we had some kind of disease. But when we got to the hospital, the doctor couldn't find anything and let us come back. Just now, Xi Mei'er suddenly muttered something about eating noodles and eating noodles. We hurriedly cooked noodles for her, but she fell all the noodles and bowls. Your aunt said, let me find you over to see if you have fallen into the evil spirit" After speaking, a pair of cloudy old eyes looked at me hopefully.
"Uncle Chen, I have to go over and have a look before I can know what the situation is." At that moment, the four of us followed Chen Mengzi towards his house.
As soon as he arrived at the door of Chen Mengzi's house, he heard the sound of "ping pong" coming from inside. Hurriedly ran in to take a look, and the ground was a mess. Xi Mei'er shrunk in the corner with her hair scattered, and muttered dementedly: "Eat noodles, eat noodles." Aunt Chen wiped her tears and cleaned up on the side. I couldn't believe that the girl in the corner in front of me was the beautiful and shy Chen Ximei before.
Seeing us coming in, Aunt Chen hurriedly greeted us: "Sit in the house quickly." ā
I smiled at her, "You're welcome, auntie. Then he got up and walked to Xi Mei'er and squatted down: "Xi Mei'er, do you remember me?" We used to play together a lot when we were younger."
When I asked her, she didn't even look at me, and still muttered to herself. Seeing that she didn't respond, I stepped forward and grabbed the sides of the middle finger of her left hand. After a while, I was shocked into a cold sweat.
The finger is a medium for the human body and soul, and can reflect many things that you can't see with your naked eye. Just like Chinese medicine can cut off illness through the pulse, I also found through the pulse of my fingers at this moment that Xi Mei'er's soul actually showed signs of weakness, and this weakness was gradually increasing.
People have three souls and seven spirits. The seven spirits are, "corpse dog, Fu Ya, Bird Yin, swallowing thief, non-poisonous, defilthy, and smelly lung." "The mind, the wisdom, and the seven emotions and desires of the rulers.
The three souls are divided into, "the main soul, the awakened soul, and the living soul." In ancient times, it was also called: "Fetal light, refreshing spirit and ghost".
The main soul returns to heaven and dominates people's consciousness. If there is something wrong with the main soul, the person will appear demented.
Awaken the soul and return to the underworld, dominating the spiritual level of people. If something goes wrong with the soul, people will go crazy.
The living soul hovers over the human body itself, dominating the life span of the person. If something goes wrong with the living soul, it will be sick at least and even dead.
Although the soul is ethereal, it is actually like a person's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. The three souls and seven spirits also exist in different forms in the human body. I just passed through the pulse of Xi Mei'er's fingers, and found that she could no longer perceive the breath of the main soul and the soul in her body. Only the weakened soul remains. That is, her life is also gradually weakening.
I didn't expect it to be so serious. I hesitated for a while, and I didn't know how to speak. After a moment of silence, he told the story one by one. "To be honest, Uncle Chen, I'm not sure I can save her"
Who knew that as soon as the words fell, Chen Mengzi and his wife knelt down for me with a "bang", kowtowing and crying: "Please save my happy sister, we are in our sixties, just such a daughter." No matter how much money you want, we will make it up for you even if you can save her."
Seeing this situation, several of us hurriedly stepped forward to help the old couple up.
"Uncle Cousin, don't be like this. If he can save it, Qi Fei will definitely save his cousin" Mu Feng turned his head to look at me after speaking.
"It's Uncle Chen, you get up first. It's not something that money can solve. I will try my best to save it, but whether I can save it or not depends on the creation of Xi Mei'er."
Qu Xin and Qu Yan were also comforting Aunt Chen on the side. It was only in the evening that we came out of Chen Menzi's house.
Back in the store, several of us were a little listless.
"Does the human soul leave the body of its own accord?" Qu Xin looked at me and asked.
I understand what Qu Xin means. Shaking his head, he said, "Under normal circumstances, as long as people are alive, they won't. Unless it is frightened beyond its own means, the soul will involuntarily leave the body. However, it is usually not too far away from the main body. After a pause, I added, "There is also a possibility that someone used magic to forcibly remove the soul from the body."
"What do you do with the soul of a man?" Mu Feng asked a little puzzled.
"The human soul can be of many uses. But if that's the case, things are in trouble. ā
After some discussion, we decided to go to Zhangyuan County early tomorrow morning. After all, Xi Mei'er is there, and she will definitely leave some clues.
