Chapter Fifty-Seven: Ward Off Evil Spirits?
In order to cooperate with Fang Quanhu and the calves that people were arguing, Chen Xiaodonkey also made up a few words in his heart, but he didn't expect to use it at all, but was sent out of the door by the child's father with a sense of confusion.
The wind was howling, and Fang Quanhu stared at him with strange eyes.
Chen Xiaodonkey was a little hairy, "What kind of eyes are you?" There is something to say! ”
Fang Quanhu said: "When I said this during the day, I forgot to tell you one thing, these three children are dead and can't close their eyes at all, little donkey, how did you do it?" ”
"Huh?" Chen Xiaodonkey was stunned and looked at him suspiciously, but he knew that there was no reason for this suspicion, and the surprise and gratitude of the child's father were not fake.
"Play stupid, huh? Gotcha, I won't ask, let's go, next! ”
Seeing that Fang Quanhu shook his head and left, Chen Xiaodonkey knew that this thing was misunderstood, and rushed up to explain: "If you don't have a calf with me, then I really don't know why this happened." ”
Fang Quanhu didn't speak, the three families that did the funeral were not far away, and they arrived at the second one in a few steps.
After entering the mourning hall, Quanhu still said the same thing, Chen Xiaodonkey stepped forward and lifted the corpse cloth, and once again saw an almost unbearable face, but this child and the child of the previous family, the situation on his face was a little different, there were no bite marks, but it was all horizontal and vertical long gaps, and the flesh turned out was miserable white, without a trace of red, as if the blood in the body had been sucked to the ground.
With the experience of the previous child, he reached out to help the child close his eyes, but he did not expect that his hand gently swiped over the cold corpse's face, and the eyelids that had been pulled off rolled up again, just like the corpse blinking its eyes.
Fang Quanhu, who was about to turn around and leave when he saw him stretching out his hand, suddenly stopped when he saw this situation, and looked at him in surprise.
Chen Xiaodonkey stretched out his hand and wiped it again, just like before.
The child's father stood next to him, didn't speak for the first time, and when he stretched out his hand for the second time, there was already anger on his face, and his tone was very angry: "My child has gone, Huzi, you don't toss him anymore, now I see it, I thank you, if there is nothing to do, go back quickly." ”
Fang Quanhu wanted to say something, but Chen Xiaodonkey grabbed before him and said: "This big brother, I want to help the child close his eyes, it's always bad not to look at it, can I try one last time?" ”
Fang Quanhu looked at him, and when he saw him nodding slightly, he turned his head and said, "Brother, you don't believe me, you have to believe my uncle, right?" He often said that my cousin had the ability, so let him give it a try. ”
The relatives of the wake all stood up, some resentful, some disdainful, and some expressionless.
"I know you're well-intentioned." The man hesitated for a few seconds and nodded, "One last time." ”
Hearing this, Chen Xiaodonkey stretched out his hand again, but this time he changed his hand.
After trying twice and finding that there was no way to close the child's eyes, he immediately recalled the details of his previous home, and he used his right hand at that time.
This time, the hand was wiped, and the child closed his eyes peacefully and never opened them again.
Coming out of the mourning hall, Fang Quanhu asked strangely, "Little donkey, what the hell is going on with you?" ”
Chen Xiaodonkey habitually put his right hand into his coat pocket, touched the compass he carried with him, took it out and showed it to him, and said uncertainly: "Maybe it's because of it." ”
"What's that?" Fang Quanhu took the compass, turned it over with the faint light from the mourning hall, and said in surprise: "Feng Shui compass? Why is it still square? ”
Chen Xiaodonkey didn't explain, in fact, even he didn't know why his father's compass was square, when he was a child, he learned things from this compass, and thought that all compasses were square, until he left Rehe with his mother, and gradually increased his knowledge and experience, and he knew that the serious compass was originally round.
Fang Quanhu said again: "Forget it, let's not talk about this first, I'm asking you about closing the child's eyes, don't change the topic for me, why didn't this child close it twice at the beginning?" ”
"Probably because of it!" Chen Xiaodonkey took the compass back and said: "The compass can survey the feng shui and the auspicious, but it is also a strange thing in the town, it can be used to drive away evil spirits, the first two times are useless, because I used my left hand, and then changed to the right hand that often touches the surface of the plate." ”
"Of course, this is just my guess. What are you doing? ”
Fang Quanhu, who was unguarded, snatched the compass again, and Chen Xiaodonkey frowned.
Fang Quanhu said: "Aren't you guessing? Shall I give it a try for you? As he spoke, he dragged it with one hand, and stroked it back and forth with the other.
"Go to the front house, I'll try this time, next to you!"
Chen Xiaodonkey's head is full of black lines.
In the third family, lying on the bed was a little girl, whose body was cold and her face was ruined.
After Chen Xiaodonkey saw the corpse, Fang Quanhu helped the girl close her eyes, and it was really done, which directly confirmed Chen Xiaodonkey's guess.
When he came out of this mourning hall, his lips trembled with excitement, and as soon as he went out, he hurriedly asked, "Is the compass so evil?" Damn, why haven't you heard of it before? ”
Chen Xiaodonkey didn't know how to answer.
He knew that the compass warded off evil spirits, and this was because of the inscription on it, which was essentially the longitude and latitude diagram of the heavenly palace and the leylines, and some of the sayings of the gods were that this thing was very heavy, and ordinary evil spirits did not dare to approach it at all.
But what happened today, not to mention that Fang Quanhu had never heard of it, he himself had never heard of it.
Chen Xiaodonkey's silence meant something else in Fang Quanhu's eyes, and he patted Chen Xiaodonkey on the shoulder very righteously, and said: "I know that these are unique skills, little donkey, you will be my brother in the future, don't worry, I will definitely rot in my stomach and no one will tell me." ”
Chen Xiaodonkey didn't pick his eyelids and said, "Say but." ”
Fang Quanhu sneered, touched his head and said: "But you have to tell me where to sell the compass is more spiritual, if you are talented, let's send it together, downtown Shanghai is your territory, I will never go, there are so many evil things near Laojiang Road, these villages and towns in the north are enough for me to eat!" ”
It turned out that he was waiting for himself here.
Chen Xiaodonkey listened to the jingling of the ocean in his pocket, patted it casually, and said, "Do you still want the money?" ”
"Of course---- not! Just our relationship, talk about money vulgarity, vulgarity! Fang Quanhu fantasized for a moment, in case something happened to the old landlord of a big dog, he would go on a trip, and now the ocean is not allowed to drill into his pocket, it will be so beautiful that he can't bear to give up this small money.
People are grouped by clusters, and to some extent, this goods are as dishonest as his Chen Xiaodonkey.
Chen Xiaodonkey nodded and said: "The compass does not have a spiritual or non-spiritual saying, it only depends on whether the direction is accurate, Shenxian Street in Luwan District, the French Concession, every restaurant that looks at feng shui has a compass for sale, and you can't go wrong by looking at the most expensive one." ”
"Really?"
Fang Quanhu was suspicious, and always felt that something was wrong.
The two of them went back to the house, Chen Xiaodonkey proposed to sleep in a different room, and aimed at the house where Fang Dasheng lived, but Fang Quanhu refused to live or die, saying that he couldn't sleep in that house, if his uncle knew that he had to be killed, he could only roll up the mat on the bed in the room where the paper man was placed, and make a floor on Fang Quanhu's side.
I don't know what time it is in the middle of the night, the wind outside has not stopped, Chen Xiaodonkey listened to the deafening snoring sound on Fang Quanhu's side, couldn't sleep, and when he closed his eyes, it was the sparse faces of the three children.
He himself wanted to try to get some clues related to the evil in the True Law Temple from the injuries of the three children, but those bite marks and scratches couldn't tell what they were caused at all, and they didn't even look like teeth and claws or something like that.
But to say that there is no gain, not exactly, in addition to the blood on the child's body is gone, in fact, he also found a situation that he doesn't know if it can be called a clue, in the three children's faces have a very similar point - the nose, starting from the tip of the nose, the crack extends to the center of the eyebrows.
But this may also be a coincidence, because he only saw the traces on the face of the corpse, and as for the body, it is not known what is under the cover of the shroud. He wanted to see it, but he knew that if he made this request, he might really be beaten.
There is also the matter of Monk Juehong, whether it is a person or an evil, Chen Xiaodonkey feels that after going back, he must ask Zhang Wuye clearly.
Early the next morning, someone sent a message to Fang Quanhu's side, saying that Fang Dasheng's affairs had not been finished yet, and he had to wait another three or five days to come back.
