28, Soul Calling (2)
The next day, after breakfast, Fugui said hello to Ermiao and said that he went out to go around, in fact, he ran to the incense shop in the town, bought incense and paper money, and found a few peach trees on the way back, broke a few branches on the branches of Xiangyang, and went home to wrap a piece of clothing that Ermiao often wears, and hid it in the cabinet.
In the summer evening, when it was dark, Fugui sat in the yard and looked at the sky for a while, and looked at the sky for a while, but he thought that the sun was setting slowly, and finally, when it got dark, he returned to the house, took out the things from the cabinet, and prepared to call Ermiao out.
Ermiao is still busy, after brushing the dishes and wiping the table, there is no work to do, Ermiao used her little to look inside and outside the house, I really don't know what to do again, the table is clean, the ground is clean, the jujube flowers also let her wash it, wait to go to bed, Ermiao stood in the yard, looked east and west, and simply picked up a big broom and swept the yard again.
It's sad! How can there be a yard sweeper in the middle of the night? Fugui stood at the door of the house, watching Ermiao sweep the yard with a serious "bang, bang, bang", his frown frowned tightly, he hugged the burden into his arms again, and greeted Ermiao: "Flower her mother." ”
Er Miao sank himself into the "uproar" of sweeping the yard and didn't hear it.
Fugui raised his voice: "Flower her mother!" He walked over to Ermiao and snatched the broom down.
Ermiao looked at Fugui in puzzlement.
"I'll take you out for a walk." Fugui smiled and carefully observed Er Miao's expression.
Er Miao looked at the sky and was even more puzzled: "It's dark this day, where to go around?" ”
"It's hot, I can't sleep, let's go out for a walk, cool and cool." Fugui put the broom on the wall, took Ermiao's hand and walked out.
I didn't know what else to do, so Ermiao thought: Then let's go out and take a walk.
Summer night, on both sides of the production road, there are insects and frogs chirping everywhere, the deep dark blue sky, paved with 10,000 stars, bent moon buds, swaying with a faint light, a breeze blowing, there is a "rustle" sound of wind blowing leaves, the branches sway with the breeze, in the faint moonlight, there is a sense of heavy pressure on the face, the shadow of the tree is like a ghost to devour into the belly.
Ermiao swallowed and spitted with palpitations, and said in her heart, if I were alone, I really didn't dare to walk this night, she looked at Fugui who was leading her head forward and asked suspiciously: "Fugui, where are you taking me to slip away?" ”
"Don't ask, it's almost there." Fugui didn't tell him the truth, just kept moving forward.
People have an instinctive sense of awe for gods and ghosts, and it was the first time that Fugui did this god-like thing, and it was also on this shadowy night, and he was also very nervous, looking at everything as if there were ghosts squatting there to peep at them.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, he finally led Er Miao to the place where he fell at that time, and Fugui carefully took Er Miao to the dry ditch and let Er Miao stand still.
Er Miao looked at the surrounding environment and recognized that it was the place where she fell at that time, and she asked, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”
Finally arrived at the place, Fugui breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Hua her mother, some time ago, you fell here, I suspect that you fell off your soul here, I asked Aunt Yang, she said, let me call you the soul here." ”
Er Miao thought it was funny: "Fugui, how old am I, and I'm not a three-year-old child, I can lose my soul if I fall!" After Ermiao finished speaking, he climbed up the ditch.
"Don't go!" Fugui grabbed Er Miao's arm: "We're all here, and a piece of meat is indispensable for screaming, okay?" ”
Er Miao slapped Fugui's hand: "You are talking nonsense or something!" ”
Fugui still didn't let go, and grabbed Ermiao's wrist tightly.
Feeling Fugui's insistence, she paused and turned to Fugui, although the light was weak, the prayer in Fugui's eyes was clearly visible, and her heart softened and said, "If you want to call, you can call." ”
Fugui squatted down and opened the burden in his arms, took out the things inside, first unfolded Ermiao's clothes and shook them, and then began to circle around Niu Ermiao, starting from the left, every time he turned, he had to shout: "Niu, Niu Ermiao, come back---! ”
For many years, when I called Ermiao, I always called Hua her mother, and today I was quite awkward to call Hua her mother's official name at first glance.
Looking at Fugui's serious and funny appearance, Er Miao felt funny, and he didn't hold back, "giggled" out laughing, laughing and laughing, tears slid down the corners of his eyes, and his face was wet in a moment.
Fugui turned around Ermiao three times to the right, and continued to shout: "Niu Ermiao, come back---! After shouting three times, he hurriedly draped the clothes in his hand on Ermiao: "Hua her mother, put it on!" ”
Er Miao obediently stretched out his arms and cooperated with Fugui to put on his clothes.
Fugui is very emotional, and his heart says it really works! He saw that Er Miao's face was shining, it must be tears, the soul returned, the tears flowed out, since the soul was complete, the next step was to send the evil god.
The incense was lit, the pious hands were folded, the incense was held, and after worshipping in the vast wilderness, the incense was inserted on the ground, and then the paper money was lit, and muttered while burning: "I don't know which god it is, if my wife Niu Ermiao is offended, you don't care about the villain, spare her, she is blessed with a small edge and can't support the spirit of the noble god, please leave the body, come to me if you want anything, give me a dream, I must have it for you." I muttered like this several times, and gently patted Er Miao Zhou's body up and down several times with a peach branch.
After a set of procedures, Fugui was relieved, so that her mother would be fine, and when the paper money burned out, he "sighed" and led Ermiao to climb up the canal: "Okay, let's go home." ”
Fugui climbed to the canal first, dragged Ermiao's hand violently, and dragged Ermiao up.
Ermiao stood by the ditch but didn't leave, she stayed there and looked at Fugui with tears.
Fugui walked a few steps and felt that something was wrong, and when he turned around and saw that Er Miao was still motionless on the side of the road, he had doubts in his eyes and asked, "Let's go, why don't you go?" After speaking, he took two steps back and wanted to pull Ermiao.
Er Miao's heart was full of emotion, she was about to breathe under the pressure of the big secret in her heart, she ran two steps forward and plunged into Fugui's arms, wrapped her hands around Fugui's waist, and cried with a "woo".
Fugui was frightened, Er Miao's cry was too infiltrating, did the evil on Hua her mother drive away, and I don't know if the one who is crying now is Er Miao himself or something else? Fugui felt that his hairs stood on end, and the roots of his hair stood up.
"What's wrong?" Fugui's voice was a little trembling, he had an urge to run if he wanted to, but Er Miao hugged him too tightly, he couldn't move, and he couldn't throw Er Miao here, just turn his head and run.
Er Miao is still crying, she cried freely, but she didn't want to be rich but scared almost liver and intestines, under the ditch, the unburned incense flickered with a faint light, a breeze blew, the paper ash that had just been burned out turned in a circle with the wind, and it turned into a small whirlwind in an instant.
Whirlwind! Since I was a child, I have heard people of the older generation say that there are souls in the whirlwind, let alone the whirlwind in the middle of the night.
In the sky, the scythe moon moved slowly, appearing and disappearing among the gray clouds, the branches of the trees around him swayed like ghosts, and the roadside, even a large stone, now looked like a crouching ghost.
Fugui didn't even dare to open his eyes, and forced himself to be strong and hugged the second seedling in his arms.
Finally, Er Miao was tired of crying, and the ugly Er Miao was even uglier, her hair was messy and draped over her shoulders, her eyes and nose were red and swollen from crying, she raised her face full of tears and snot, and smiled at Fugui embarrassedly: "Her father, let's go back." ”
Fugui has always known that Er Miao is ugly, but he has never seen such an ugly appearance tonight, in this gloomy environment, Er Miao's grin actually scared Fugui's heart to a bit.
