Chapter 13 Fighting with the Master
"Xiaojun, Uncle Qi's family invited a master, saying that he was going to catch ghosts for Sister Xiaoqing, and now he is doing it, let's see."
As soon as dinner was finished that day, Liu Jun picked up "Hamlet" and prepared to work hard, and Liu Yan ran over mysteriously.
"What the hell?"
Liu Jun couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
"Oh, isn't Sister Xiaoqing sick these days, my master said that it was a ghost, and I will catch ghosts tonight."
Ah, I see. It's no wonder that Liu Jun was stunned for a while, he hadn't heard of "Shigong catching ghosts" for too long. The so-called Shigong is the title of "Shenhan" in the area of Liujiashan. In the 21st century, witches and gods who pretend to be ghosts have gradually lost their place, but in the 70s of the 20th century, they were very popular. The vast rural culture is backward, the masses lack medical treatment, and do not go to the hospital when they are sick, and often invite witches and gods to catch ghosts and drive away foxes. Although it was a period of great turmoil, the four old ones were badly broken, and they could not be completely banned. This has actually become a kind of cultural heritage, although it is not very good.
Seeing Liu Jun in a daze, Liu Yan became impatient: "Are you going or not?" If you don't want to go, my second sister and I will go. β
"I'll go. There's a lot to see, so why not go? β
"Okay, let's go together, go quickly."
"It's dark outside, I can't see the road, how can I walk?"
"Ah, you're really, stupid to read, aren't you? The second sister and brother-in-law are lighting torches. β
Dizzy!
Even a flashlight is still a luxury, and you have to rely on torches to light up your night walk at night.
Liu Ye raised a torch made of dried pine bark to open the way, and his brother-in-law Ruan Chenglin also lit a torch and pushed back, and Liu Jun and Liu Yan walked in the middle. Originally, Ruan Chenglin wanted to go to the front, but Liu Ye was afraid of ghosts and didn't dare to break the back, so he switched positions with his uncle.
It is said that it is a torch, but it is actually very dark, and it is basically impossible to see the road surface. Fortunately, those who are familiar with the road, where there are ditches and where there are hurdles, are clear, and there is no risk of wrestling.
Liujiashan has a total of three surnames, one Liu, two Ruan and three weeks. After hundreds of years of breeding, most of the people on the team are related to each other. Seventh Uncle Liu Jinping is Liu Jincai's clan brother, but the blood relationship is far away, going back six or seven generations. Coincidentally, according to the genealogical ranking, Liu Jincai was the youngest in their generation, ranking twelfth, and currently in Liu Jun's generation, he is also the youngest and ranked twelfth. Considering that Liu Jincai is thirty-seven years old this year, and his clan brothers are all older than him, it is unlikely that he will accidentally add another brother of the same clan to Liu Jun, and the position of this old man is basically Liu Jun's seat. Therefore, don't look at Liu Jun's young age, there are many eldest nephews who call him uncle. After two or three years, there will even be uncles.
Hehe, that's called a cool!
Qibo's house is at the junction of the Liujiashan Brigade and the Matangwan Brigade, which is relatively remote. But when Liu Jun and the others arrived, the house was actually crowded with people, and looking at the posture, it was a bit similar to watching an open-air movie. It's just that there are too few entertainment activities in the countryside, and a "master and grandfather ghost hunting" can also attract so many people to watch the excitement.
Liu Junren was small and short, took Liu Yan's hand, squeezed in through the crack like a loach, and arrived in the house. Ruan Chenglin and Liu Ye couldn't squeeze in, so they could only stand outside the pile of people and stand on tiptoe and look in. Liu Jun's surname actually doesn't like to join in the fun, but he just wants to see the means of "master's ghost hunting". Let's see what kind of tricks he uses to coax these honest villagers. After all, when he was young in his previous life, the master who could hunt ghosts was a great character in Liu Jun's mind.
Liu Jinping's hall was lit with two kerosene lamps, and the light was dim. In the middle of the hall, two benches were erected to build a door panel, and a yellow-faced and skinny girl curled up in the torn cotton wool, moaning and crying out in pain.
"Is this Sister Xiaoqing?"
Liu Jun asked Liu Yan in a low voice.
Liu Yan nodded, "um", and glanced at him a little strangely, as if this question was very stupid. From the analysis of Liu Yan's demeanor, Liu Jun should know Sister Xiaoqing. The Liujiashan Brigade is only about 200 households, and children of the same age often play together, and it is reasonable that they know each other. Maybe it's because the memory is too long, and Liu Jun doesn't have much memory of most of his childhood playmates.
It seems that Sister Xiaoqing is only eleven or twelve years old. However, at that time, people in the countryside were generally malnourished, children developed slowly, and Sister Xiaoqing was curled up in a ball, which could not be seen really, and it was not necessary to be thirteen or fourteen years old.
There is another person in the hall, about thirty years old, with a fierce face, a stout body, and a wooden sword, which is probably the protagonist of tonight - Shigong. There is nothing unusual about the decoration. If it weren't for the wooden sword, I wouldn't have been able to tell who he was.
A bench was also placed in front of Shigong, with a bowl of rice and two bowls of water. The white rice is topped with three lit incense sticks. Shigong swept his eyes around, his face showed a little smugness, then he erected the wooden sword, pinched a sword trick in his left hand, and began to practice with words in his mouth.
Not far from Shigong, there were two gray-haired middle-aged men and women standing with their hands down, looking respectful. It's Liu Jinping's two sons.
"The spirit of heaven and the spirit of the earth, the old king of Taishang is as anxious as the law......"
Liu Jun nodded secretly. It seems that this master is still a Taoist disciple, and this incision is read well. Who knew that the next time Shi Gong turned over and over again, it was a "heavenly spirit and earth spirit", and there was no second sentence.
Liu Jun couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
I don't know if it's because he himself is not good at learning or because the master he worships has a problem, so he only learned this sentence. That's a bit too, isn't it? With just such an incision, a black wooden sword can cheat people to eat and drink, and coax people to make money?
This master is too disrespectful!
I think he is relying on the name of a master to deceive. For such a half-god who does not learn and has no skills, Liu Jun has no interest in looking at it any further, and it is expected that he will not have any clever tricks.
"Third sister, let's go back. It's not pretty. I still have to review my homework. β
Yoo Joon deliberately spoke loudly.
The eyes of the people in the room were all focused on Liu Jun at once, including the master who could only make a single incision. Seeing Liu Jun blatantly stirring up the situation, his eyes were a little vicious, and his expression was very unkind.
Yoo Jun stared back unceremoniously.
Liu Yan was startled, and hurriedly scolded: "Don't talk nonsense." β
At this time, the curled up little sister suddenly moaned loudly, rolling on the door panel with her stomach covered, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her sallow face.
Oops, look at this, it should be an acute abdomen. If left untreated, the consequences can be worrying.
Liu Jinping and his family were also anxious, and hurriedly begged Shigong to continue his practice.
Shi Gong snorted, turned his head, raised his wooden sword, and began to recite the phrase "Urgent as a law".
"Uncle Qi, don't listen to him chanting, hurry up and send Sister Xiaoqing to the health center. It will be too late to do so. β
Human life is at stake, and Liu Jun can't care about his master's face, and shouts loudly.
"Don't talk nonsense here, kids, get out of here!"
Shi Gong couldn't bear it anymore, approached two steps, and shouted viciously.
Liu Jun looked at him coldly and said coldly: "Who is talking nonsense?" You're not a doctor, can you see a doctor? β
"You...... She's not sick, she's possessed by a demon who plagues her. When I catch the unjust ghost, it will be fine. What do you know as a child? β
At this time, Sister Xiaoqing's pain was even worse, and her voice was a little hoarse.
"You're talking nonsense. Qingtian Bai said, Lang Lang Qiankun, where did you come from? Sister Xiaoqing is obviously seriously ill, if you don't go to the health center quickly, she will die, can you bear this responsibility? β
Seeing that he was still pretending to be a ghost, Liu Jun couldn't bear it anymore, and no matter what people would think of him, a seven-year-old child with a successful exit, he pointed at his master's nose and reprimanded him.
"You ......"
Shi Gong was so angry that he clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his neck skyrocketed, looking at this posture, if Liu Jun was not a child, he was afraid that he would swing it with a punch.
"Whose child is this? Where are the adults in the family? β
"Ahh......h
Liu Jinping recognized it as Liu Jun and hurriedly walked over, wanting to pull him out.
Liu Jun stretched out his hand, stopped Qibo, softened his tone, and said to Shigong: "Master, I don't care who you are, it's important to save people." β
"Yo ho, it's not a small tone. You don't even have a whole hair, and you dare to teach me a lesson here? Get out ......."
Shigong was annoyed and angry, grabbed Liu Jun's collar and pushed it out.
Liu Jun shrugged his shoulders, raised his hand to push his hand away, and said coldly: "You don't care where you are, let me tell you, this is Liujiashan, and my father is Liu Jincai, deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Red Flag Commune." If you dare to touch a single hair of my hair, you won't want to walk out of the Liujiashan Brigade tonight! If you don't believe me, give it a try! β
Shi Gong was stunned for a moment. Although he may not have heard of Liu Jincai's name, he knows that the surname Liu is the first surname in Liujiashan. If you really beat this little child, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get out of the Liujiashan brigade.
"Ah, Xiaojun, don't make trouble here at Uncle Qi...... Master, master, he is a child who is not sensible, don't worry about him, please hurry up and catch ghosts...... My little youth is dying......"
Liu Jin was so anxious that he was a little incoherent.
Shigong snorted and said, "Brother Liu, it's not that I don't want to help. Children are making trouble here, and their practices are not working. β
"Ah, Xiaojun, go home quickly......" Liu Jin is an honest man, seeing that Liu Jun looked unmoved, he hurriedly called Liu Yan again: "Xiaoyan, take your brother home quickly......"
was noisy, only to hear a "poof", and Sister Xiaoqing rolled down from the door panel. Liu Jun didn't care about arguing with his master, so he hurriedly ran over. I saw that Sister Xiaoqing's face was pale, her teeth were biting her lower lip tightly, and she was biting blood.
"Sister Xiaoqing, where do you hurt?"
"This ...... Here......"
Sister Xiaoqing tightly covered her right lower abdomen with one hand.
It may be acute epitaxitis.
Liu Jun immediately lifted her clothes, reached out to touch the position of the appendix, and pressed it hard: "Does it hurt here?" β
Sister Xiaoqing screamed in pain, and said weakly: "Yes...... It's ...... here."
It should be an emergency appendicitis, and the pain is so bad, it is estimated that it may be perforated. Although he was not a doctor in his previous life, he still has this medical common sense.
"It's an emergency with appendicitis, and I need to operate immediately. Hurry up and send it to the health center......"
"Xiaojun......" This time it was Liu Jincai, an honest man, who couldn't bear it anymore, he shouted loudly, and rushed to Liu Jun angrily, his face turned purple: "Don't make trouble here, go home quickly." I'll tell your dad another day and give you a good beating! β
Liu Jun sighed and said, "Uncle Qi, I am your nephew, and Sister Xiaoqing is my cousin, will I harm you?" β
Seeing that Liu Jun pretended to be stunned as an adult, and was still playing the family card here, Liu Jinping was angry and funny, and stammered: "Xiaojun, what do you know about a child...... Obedient, go home...... The teacher is good at doing ......"
Liu Junden was angry. It is said that youth is capital, but if you are too young, you may not necessarily have a strong capital. Obviously the truth is in hand, but no one is willing to listen. Liu Jun thought about it, and then slowly walked up to the arrogant face of the master, and said, "Master, tell me the truth, is Sister Xiaoqing really possessed by a wronged ghost?" β
"I ......"
"You have to think about it, human life is a matter of heaven and you can't joke. I'm just here waiting for you to hunt ghosts. If you can't catch this unjust ghost tonight, can't cure Sister Xiaoqing's illness, and dies, I will definitely ask my father to arrest you and sentence you! β
"You ......"
Shi Gong suddenly felt a little nervous, and he didn't dare to speak. It must be known that the Great Revolution vigorously propagated the destruction of the four olds for many years, and people such as Shigong and witches were the targets of the attack. It is just a matter of swaggering and coaxing the masses in the countryside, and it is not a joke to be arrested by the Revolutionary Committee.
"Don't go out yet? Do you really want to go to jail? β
Liu Jun knew that for the sake of today, the only way to do this was to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle. Let's get rid of this master first.
"Okay, okay, I'll go. Liu Laoqi, it's not me Xu Hu who is sorry for you today. In the future, if your Liujiashan brigade has any more ghosts, don't look for me......"
Shigong stomped his feet, squeezed through the crowd at the door, and walked away in embarrassment.
Hehe, it is worthy of the old rivers and lakes, the donkey does not fall down, and he has to say a few cruel words to fill the faΓ§ade before leaving.
"Hey, Master Xu...... You wait......"
Liu Jinping hurriedly chased out.
Liu Jun ignored it and shouted outside the door: "Uncle, hurry up and call a few people to carry Sister Xiaoqing to the hospital." β
Ruan Chenglin squeezed in, patted his head, and scolded with a smile: "Little guy, do you still want to command your uncle?" β
"Oh, uncle, it's still a joke at this time. Hurry up and save people. If my dad knows that you don't save you when you die, see if he scolds you? β
Liu Jun knew that his uncle was usually most afraid of his own Lao Tzu, so he couldn't say it, so he had to bring out his signboard.
This trick really worked, Ruan Chenglin's face changed, and he raised his hands high: "Okay, okay, I'll lift my ......";
