"Actually, this thing is very simple," Liu Wanyan smiled mysteriously, "This thing is your eldest daughter's blood!" ”

"What, my eldest daughter's blood" Wang Dezi's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it.

"Yes, it's your eldest daughter's blood, she has to do it." Liu Wanyan replied in the affirmative.

"But killing people pays for your life!" Although Wang Dezi is stingy and stingy, even if he doesn't like this daughter, he never thinks about her life.

"Yes, I don't agree." At this time, Wang Dezi's daughter-in-law also came out of the house and said, "How can I use my daughter's life to save my son's illness?" Everyone said that the tiger is not enough to eat the child no matter how vicious it is! No matter how bastard our family is, we will never do this kind of thing. ”

"Yes, yes. We just like our son, and we can't change that girl's life! Wang Dezi also disagreed, saying that although he attached great importance to the issue of inheritance, he also loved his daughter for a few years, but he didn't like it later, and he didn't be ruthless to this point!

"That's it, Master Wan, you can help see if there are any other ways." Others were also on the side to help.

"I do!" At this moment, a slender hand opened the curtain of the door of the other room, revealing a thin face with a pointed chin left, and interrupted everyone's conversation with a loud voice.

In fact, the door is blocked with a rag, and now it is daytime, everyone's voice is not small, and how can Wang Dezi's daughter lying in the small room not hear the words of the big guy!

The girl looked skinny, small, looked very thin, pale little face, because of the protruding frontal bone of the too thin child, the face was blue, and the whole person looked a few years younger than people of the same age, and at a glance it was caused by long-term malnutrition.

"I am willing, I am willing to give blood to my brother." The girl said loudly again, only to see her open the curtain with one hand, propped herself on the edge of the bed with the other, and leaned out most of her body.

"What? Niuzi, are you willing to save your brother! The big guy was a little incredulous, after all, usually Wang Dezi and his wife would have resentment towards this girl, whether they were too much to change to anyone.

"Of course I do. Father, mother, take out my blood and give it to my brother! The girl replied again.

"Girl, my big girl, what are you willing to do!" Wang Dezi's daughter-in-law wiped her tears, whether she was too excited or regretted her previous behavior, her face was full of tears, and she said, "Big girl! You honestly say that you just don't want to do it, we don't blame you, anyway, your brother has been sick for so many years, it doesn't matter if it's good or not. ”

Wang Dezi was also red-eyed, and said yes repeatedly, indeed, he is really not a thing to this girl at ordinary times.

"Dad, mother, I think about it, I really want to, my brother is still so young, if I can cure him, let alone my blood, even anything on my body, I can give it to him." The girl said with a determined face, a hint of fortitude flashed in her eyes, at this moment, this girl seemed to have a maturity that did not belong to her age.

Anyway, she is a wasted person, she has to be paralyzed in bed for the rest of her life, and she has to eat and drink for nothing in front of her father, it is not easy for them to raise a stupid brother, plus she is also a big burden, she really doesn't want to drag down this family anymore.

"My silly girl!" Wang Dezi's daughter-in-law finally couldn't help crying, "I used to be a bad mother, what a good girl, my mother shouldn't just take care of your brother, it's my mother who is sorry for you!" ”

Wang Dezi on the side also had tears in his eyes, feeling ashamed, it was like a slap in the face to himself, thinking about how he treated his own daughter like this before, it was really a bastard!

Wang Dezi and his daughter-in-law stepped forward to hug this sensible girl, the girl saw her father and mother actually hugging her, and she was also excited for a while, she almost forgot when she was so close to her father and mother last time, so the two big and one small three people hugged their heads and cried, and the people on the side were moved.

"Ahem, cough, cough" At this time, Liu Wanyan coughed lightly, interrupting this warm scene with one sentence, "You don't need to be so excited, I mean I want this girl's blood, but I didn't say I want her life!" What are you crying about? ”

"Master Wan, what you said is good! The blood is gone, how can there be life? Wang Dezi's daughter-in-law cried and said.

"I want blood, but I didn't say all of it, just a few drops are enough!" Liu Wanyan said with a serious face.

"What? Just a few drops? Wang Dezi's daughter-in-law wiped away her tears and was stunned.

"yes, just a few drops, are you so upset?" Liu Wanyan's face was amused, as if he was despising their fuss.

Is it that you didn't make it clear, okay? Everyone was blinded.

"Master Wan, why didn't you say it earlier!" Wang Dezi said angrily, and wiped away the tears and snot on his face.

At this time, Wang Dezi's daughter-in-law and his daughter-in-law took out their handkerchiefs and slowly wiped the tears on their faces, and the movements between the mother and daughter became much more intimate.

"If he had said it earlier, would you have seen that you have such a good daughter?" Cheng Buxing said with a smile on the side.

Wang Dezi seemed a little embarrassed, scratching his head and smiling: "Hehe, it was us who was wrong before, and we were blinded by lard."

"Yes, such a sensible girl, we must treat her well in the future!" Wang Dezi's daughter-in-law added this with red eyes.

"It's good to know." Liu Wanyan smiled and didn't say anything.

On the contrary, Wang Dezi and his family, in front of everyone, cried and wiped their tears, feeling that they had let others see the joke, their faces were flushed, and they looked embarrassed.

Seeing that the girl was no longer worried about her life, everyone continued with the previous topic.

First, let Wang Dezi bring the boy and girl from the house, put two chairs in the room, and the two children sat on the top of the other.

The girl is okay, although she has been paralyzed in bed for many years, but fortunately, she is willing to work hard, and she has been learning to sit up by herself in the past few years, and she really did it herself, although she can't move her legs, she can still sit up straight.

The boy is different, although his limbs are sound, but because of the relationship between his soul for many years, the whole person looks like dementia, and he knows that there is something wrong with his brain at a glance, and he looks like he is not fully sane.

I saw that the boy was placed on a chair, sitting crookedly, his eyes glazed, and from time to time he had to sway his body slightly, as if he would slip under the chair if he was not careful, and he couldn't even sit steadily.

"This child's soul has been lost for too long, and the way to cure the soul will not be as simple as usual, the general simple treatment method is to shout the soul, but in fact, even if it is to shout the soul, it is difficult." Liu Wanyan explained to everyone simply.

Liu Wanyan continued: "Today we have to call the soul in a special way, and call the child's soul back first. ”

Liu Wanyan first asked Wang Dezi and his wife to prepare two large handfuls of incense, and a white cloth bag already had some paper money.

The countryside is generally very particular, and every festival will worship a ghost and god, and those worship items that need to be used are usually prepared at home, so Wang Dezi and his wife quickly prepared everything

First, Wang Dezi's wife burned the paper money at home and used it to worship the spirits on the roadside and nearby mountains.

After the paper money was completely burned, Liu Wanyan took out a small knife, cut the girl's index finger, and placed a prepared strip of white cloth under it to take the dripping blood, which was actually about four or five drops.

The girl's index finger was cut by a knife, but there was no change on her face, but there was more stubbornness in her eyes, which may be nothing to her, maybe the most uncomfortable thing for her is not to be by this small mouth, but to be ignored by her parents for many years.

If this matter was left on the girls of the same age in the city, they would have been scared to cry, the concept of the times is different, many girls who grew up in the city are spoiled in the honey pot, and an adult raises a child, usually just an injection, and will cry in fright.

First, they lit a handful of incense and two long candles, tied them with strips of cloth stained with the girl's blood, and inserted them in the soil in front of the house, and asked everyone to move the palms under the buttocks of the two children closer so that the sister could hold the younger brother's hand.

After the family was ready, Liu Wanyan asked Wang Dezi to light another handful of incense, and after lighting it, he let Wang Dezi go out and walked outside, shouting his son's name and shouting loudly: "Bao'er, it's late, go home quickly"

It's not enough to shout, but to put an incense stick on the side of the road every nine steps. this

One is to let incense guide the soul in the direction of home; The second is to worship the ghosts on the side of the road, so that they do not block the road when the child comes home and block his way home.

Just walked all the way and shouted all the way, and put incense on the side of the road, so he walked out for several miles in a row, seeing that the incense in his hand was getting less and less, Wang Dezi was so anxious that he was sweating.

Liu Wanyan saw that he was sweating in a hurry, so he ordered: "Keep shouting, don't stop, go down all the time, and finish the incense under your hands." ”

After a long while, there was finally a stick of incense left in his hand, and at this time, Wang Dezi was already so tired that his clothes were wet with sweat, and he was still dripping down the lower edge of his clothes.

Wang Dezi's voice was hoarse for a long time, but after thinking about the child, he gritted his teeth and persevered, and now he finally walked to the last incense in his hand, and his heart was anxious but relaxed.

First, he took nine steps forward, inserted the incense in his hand to the side of the road, and then held his breath and shouted loudly: "Bao'er, it's dark, go home quickly!" ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone faintly heard a crisp children's voice from the distant mountain col: "Okay, I'm back"

The sound swirled in the empty col, lingering for a long time, with a hint of loneliness in the emptiness.

After hearing this answer, everyone turned around and returned to the village together in the white smoke that floated from the incense burning all the way.

By this time, it was close to dusk, and the sun had already hidden to the other side of the mountain, and the remaining red and gold afterglow sprinkled the blue sky, and illuminated the road brightly, and a warmth was enveloping the way home.

On the houses in the distance, wisps of white cooking smoke wafted, as if they could still smell the smell of rice in the air, this is the mothers who cook at home, are silently reminding the playful children that it is getting late, go home quickly.

Everyone returned home again, and as soon as they entered the house, Wang Dezi's daughter-in-law ran over crying, holding Cheng Buxing who was walking in front of her tightly with one hand, and shouted in her mouth: "Quick, come and help take a look, Bao'er fainted just now." ”

Because she was too flustered, Wang Dezi's daughter-in-law suddenly lost her hand, and Cheng Buxing was caught grinning, and quickly broke her hand away from her arm and asked what was going on.

Wang Dezi's daughter-in-law just said bitterly that since everyone went out, the child sat on the chair in a daze, motionless, and no longer slid down, and quietly let the sister on the side pull with one hand.

But just now, the child suddenly seemed to be a magic barrier, and suddenly stood up from the chair, and the girl on the side was almost dragged off the chair by him because she was holding her brother with one hand.

After seeing the boy stand up straight, he suddenly shouted: "Okay, I'm back!" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he fell straight backwards, unconscious again.

And Wang Dezi's daughter-in-law was anxious when she saw her son fainting, and hurriedly wanted to go out to find someone.

Liu Wanyan asked everyone to help the child to the chair first, and then got a cup of tea, put his hand into the cup and dipped it in water, sprinkled it on the child's face, and shouted in his mouth: "Soul back!" ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone saw that the child's face gradually turned from pale to ruddy, and his breathing began to be normal from the original disorder.

After another quarter of an hour, Liu Wanyan went up and pinched the child's middle school, and as soon as the child was in pain, he slowly opened his eyes, saw his relatives with an anxious face, and opened his mouth and shouted: "Dad, mother." ”

Seeing that his son woke up, Wang Dezi and his wife cried with joy, ran up to hug their son, and kept shouting, heart, liver, baby, meat and eggs

The girl on the side looked at this scene, a trace of gloom crossed her eyes, her father and mother could still love her brother, but such a thought was just a flash, her face was still with a satisfied smile, and she was also very happy to see her brother getting better.

Wang Dezi still thinks about his daughter, and when he saw that his son woke up, he picked up his daughter, let his son look at it, and called his sister.

Looking at the harmonious situation of Wang Dezi's family, everyone who had been tired for a day suddenly felt that this help was not in vain.

Seeing that Wang Dezi's family was happy, Liu Wanyan said to Wang Dezi: "After this child's soul comes back, in order to avoid losing it again, we have to let your son recognize his relatives and suppress his soul." ”

Recognizing relatives is actually called "playing the old contract", this method is not only in the countryside, but also in the city.

But generally speaking, the rules in the countryside will be more exquisite. Of course, in some places, some people will also rely on the relationship between the two families to shorten the distance between the two families, which we will not mention for the time being.

Because of the different regions, the ceremony of recognizing relatives will be slightly different.

But in most places, ceremonies are held on a selected "auspicious day of the zodiac".

At that time, in addition to preparing a sumptuous banquet, parents should also prepare gifts for their children to honor their godfathers and godmothers. The most important of these gifts are a hat for the godfather and shoes for the godmother, as well as items such as clothing.

Of course, this is courteous.

The godfather and godmother will also give back a pair of chopsticks and a long-life lock to the child, and the younger children will also have small clothes, small shoes and other items, and the rich people will go to the jewelry store to order silver bowls and silver chopsticks, or go to the temple and lama to buy wooden bowls, so as not to break the child due to mistake. If the bowl is broken, it is considered to be very unlucky.

What I want to say here is that in fact, in many cases, the people who recognize relatives are not necessarily people, but also some famous ghosts and gods for a while.

In some places in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the popular feelings recognized by children are generally not living popularity, but the impermanent ghost next to King Yama.

According to local legend, the impermanence ghost is a ghost specially sent by the king of Yama to detain the soul of the deceased, and the children are placed on the impermanence ghost in the hope that it will not detain the soul of the sending child and let their children live longer. And these children will go to the temple every July to worship their godparents until they reach adulthood.

And for Wang Dezi's eldest son, ordinary people can't suppress his soul just by relying on excellent eight characters, because this child's soul has been wandering outside for many years, and it is almost the same as the wandering soul outside, so light that even if it is recovered, it is easy to run away again.

It's like a naughty kid who has been away from home for several years, even if his parents are out to find him back, but his heart is already out in the wild, and if he doesn't find a reliable person to watch him, no one can guarantee that he will run away from home again next time.

"After recovering this soul, you have to let your son recognize the land as a godfather." Liu Wanyan said.

In fact, the land is also known as the god of good fortune, and it is also the "god of the society" of one side, which is recorded in the ancient books, saying: "The society, the lord of the land, the land is extensive, and it cannot be respected, so the land is enshrined for the society and worships it, and the merit is also repaid."

It is said that the small size of the land lord is only half the height of an adult, so the land temple is also very small, half is only about a meter high, and almost every village will have one at the entrance of the village.

When he was alive, his real name was Zhang Fude, and he was smart and filial since he was a child; At the age of thirty-six, he was the chief tax collector of the official court, who was honest and upright, sympathetic to the sufferings of the people, and did many good deeds, until the old man died at the age of 102, and his appearance remained unchanged three days after his death.

At this time, there was a poor family who had received his favor before, so they surrounded him with four stones and enshrined him, and then soon after, the family quickly changed from a poor peasant to a rich peasant, so everyone believed that he turned into a god after his death to bless this family in heaven, and then each village built a land temple in the hope of blessing a village with good weather and driving away disasters and evil spirits.

In fact, if there is a land man, there will be a land wife, and many TV series portray the land woman as an old woman who is as short as the land lord and is not good-looking, in fact, many land women are very beautiful, and the real reason is that she loves to tell the truth.

Although the land lord and the land wife are husband and wife, their personalities are indeed two extremes
