At this time, the wind is drunk and shakes the scene.

The night wind in the wax moon is very cold and infectious, as if even the lights in the mourning hall are swaying.

The man who burst out laughing was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was white and chubby, and his face was still a little oily. At this time, perhaps because the yard was too cold, a big white face was blue, with a "smile that desperately didn't want to laugh".

It felt like a glove in a foot. Unspeakably weird.

And just after he suddenly let out that burst of "hey, hey, hey" laughter, there was a sudden silence in the mourning hall for two seconds. Two seconds later, the mourning hall exploded.

Some were rushing towards him, others were scattering and fleeing. A little farther away, several women and children burst into tears.

Then, the man let out a long series of insults in his mouth, but the sound should have belonged to some old woman. Moreover, accompanied by a strong northern rural style of scolding, his expression and movements are also like an old woman. It's just that this old woman has a lot of strength, and several people who rushed over to control him were pushed to the ground by him.

The greasy middle-aged man was speaking very fast at this time, and it was a dialect, and Sang Xiaoge could only roughly understand it, and he was scolding his unscrupulous descendants and a certain "old fox", and trying to knock over the offering table. Moreover, his eyes that looked extremely resentful kept glancing towards Sang Xiaoge.

The fourth child who came to pick up Sang Xiaoge had already rushed over to help control the fat man, at this time, Sang Xiaoge hugged Mr. Lan, and Xiao Dezi stood a little farther away, looking at the smoky mourning hall, slightly embarrassed.

"It's ...... Ghost on top, right? ”

Xiao Dezi was obviously frightened, and the possibility of being "upper" suddenly appeared in his mind, and his body shrank behind Sang Xiaoge, but he was too fat and too big, and his cousin was too petite, so it had no effect at all.

"Take out the red pill and press it under your tongue one by one. Fast! Otherwise, maybe you two will be the next target to be taken up! ”

Mr. Lan's eyes looked at the mourning hall, and his mouth arranged the two sisters and brothers.

Sang Xiaoge hurriedly took out the things prepared for the afternoon from the canvas bag on Xiao Dezi's back, found the bottle containing the red pill, poured out two pills, tried not to think about the ingredients of this thing, took one for himself, and stuffed one in Xiao Dezi's mouth.

"Don't eat it, take it under your tongue. So that it won't be topped. ”

Sang Xiaoge thoughtfully reminded himself of this greedy stupid brother, and then according to Mr. Lan's instructions, he took out a few chalks made of white ash, glutinous rice, sea salt and fragrant ash, and handed them to Xiao Dezi.

"Draw a circle around here on the ground. There can be no disconnection, and the two ends must be connected. ”

After speaking, Sang Xiaoge asked Mr. Lan to lie on his shoulder, holding a few pieces of paper with charms in his hand, and walked towards the fat man who was still tossing wildly. The expression was very calm, and he panicked in his heart.

At this time, five or six men were holding down the fat man from the front and back, left and right, but the guy seemed to be infinitely powerful, foaming at the mouth and scolding, and at the same time, his body was struggling frantically, and he was about to break free again. The fourth child was also among the people who controlled him, and at this time he saw Sang Xiaoge coming over. Looking at each other, Sang Xiaoge shouted:

"Hold him down for three seconds!"

And on the fat man's face, a cruel smile suddenly appeared, revealing his white teeth, and he suddenly pounced towards Sang Xiaoge!

3

In fact, when the fat man on the upper body went crazy, the power was extraordinary. Five or six people couldn't control him for three seconds!

However, before he could break free, because his arms were dragged by four people, for a second, his entire upper body rushed towards Sang Xiaoge, and his arms were pulled behind him. It was less than a meter away from Sang Xiaoge, and he grinned and his eyes were split, as if he had some deep hatred!

"Stick!"

As Mr. Lan whispered in her ear, Sang Xiaoge bit her silver teeth, and a piece of rune paper on her right hand "snapped" and stuck it on the fat man's forehead!

It was just a yellowed, three-inch square piece of paper with strange charms on it.

Sang Xiaoge is just an ordinary girl who is less than 1.6 meters tall, weighs no more than 90 pounds, and has never received combat training.

But when this small rune paper was pasted on the forehead of the middle-aged man who was more than 200 pounds, as if her right hand was slapped with terrifying force, the fat man's entire body was "beaten" and flew upside down, and he let out a terrible and sharp scream in the air, and his body knocked over a table and several chairs three meters away, and the people who had been trying to control him fell to the ground!

4

The top of the courtyard was covered with a huge white canvas to form a mourning hall, and the people inside suddenly fell silent again.

The middle-aged man was possessed just now, which caused another riot, but the strange girl who suddenly appeared beat the middle-aged man out and fell to the ground as soon as she made a move, unconscious. This is not a martial arts movie, it is something that really happens in front of you!

The wife and children of the fat man's family, who had been hiding in fear and crying helplessly, then the cry changed from helpless to more helpless and angry, and pounced on the guy who fell to the ground.

"Stop them!"

Sang Xiaoge shouted.

Except for the fourth child, the others didn't know what the strange woman who suddenly appeared was. However, people are always naturally tame to force, and at this time, the few people who originally controlled the fat man hurriedly got up and stopped the guy's wife and children.

"He's fine, but my talisman can only control him for an hour, and then he may run out and possess others." Sang Xiaoge's voice is clear and bright, and he has an authoritative flavor. After all, her main income for a year has been fortune telling, so that her words sound firm and unquestionable, which is the basic skill.

"No one has to come within two meters of him, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

Sang Xiaoge added, then picked up a piece of "chalk" and drew a circle on the ground around the fat man lying on the ground. The circle is not big, because the surrounding environment is cramped, so she can only draw lines close to the fat man's body as much as possible, which looks very similar to the corpse shape markers at the murder scene.

The moment the white lines around the fat man's body were connected, the circle of lines emitted a blue light at the same time, and then disappeared. However, this brightness made the people in the mourning hall look at Sang Xiaoge with a little more awe.

5

Everyone hurriedly cleaned up the clutter that had just been disrupted in the mourning hall, and the fourth child took two old men in their sixties to Sang Xiaoge's side.

"Mulberry ...... Master, these two are the masters of my family, the second uncle, the third uncle, this master was introduced by Grandpa Chang. ”

"Oops, poor hospitality, poor hospitality! The master first went to the house to drink saliva, come, please in the house, please in the house! ”

The oldest man hurriedly put Sang Xiaoge in the main house, and the fourth man poured four cups of tea with great discernment. At this time, Xiao Dezi also finished drawing the line and followed in with sweat.

The room was a mess, but it was able to free up space for four people to sit. The concept of rural families is heavy, and Sang Xiaoge knew that these two old men should be the "talkers" of this family, handed over his business card, and then said:

"Mr. Chang invited me over, but he didn't say what the specific situation was. The little tricks I did outside last an hour or two. Why don't you tell me what's going on at home? ”

6

What's going on at home? Dead people, of course. But Sang Xiaoge definitely didn't ask this.

The two old men glanced at each other, and finally the older one rubbed his hands together and reported to the strange girl in front of him who was old enough to be his granddaughter.

Lying in the coffin was the eldest sister of the old man.

It's an old problem, liver cancer, advanced. The whole family, including the old man himself, had already made preparations, and the coffin, shroud and other things had already been prepared in the empty room in the west.

Five days ago, at the request of the old man, he moved back from the hospital, and without medication, the old man tossed and turned in the hospital bed for a day and two nights, and finally passed away yesterday morning.

Everything is according to the customs of the countryside, step by step. Build a funeral shed, send letters to relatives, and take turns to watch the spirits of younger nephews. Who would have thought that since last night, the family has been taken turns by the old man.

As soon as it got dark last night, my cousin-in-law, who had been in charge of taking care of the elderly, suddenly had a seizure, making a big fuss in the mourning hall, falling and beating, and scolding.

finally controlled his cousin-in-law, and one of the old man's nephews with a foreign surname made trouble again.

If it's just being topped, talking nonsense, and breaking a few things, it's still acceptable. It's just that the three people who were put on the body last night have never been asleep from last night to now.

The fourth "second uncle" felt that things were tricky from the beginning, and hurriedly contacted the authority in the local white affairs circle in the middle of the night. But the old gentleman happened to have something at hand and couldn't get out, so he only said on the phone that he would introduce someone. Who knew that tonight, just after nightfall, that is, when Sang Xiaoge and the others came in, they made a fuss again.

"It sounds like a simple matter of a dead man who is reluctant to give up the sun and possess his children." Mr. Lan, who was lying on Sang Xiaoge's lap, said to her, and snorted coldly and said, "It's just that the ghost of the Venerable Master just now is not the woman in the coffin!" ”

7

Sang Xiaoge is a thoughtful girl, and as soon as the fat cat on her knees says it, she has a rough judgment. She suddenly had a cold expression, looked at the second uncle in front of her and said:

"The elderly, only the right symptoms can be prescribed. Since you invited me to come, you should tell me a little more details, so that I can help your family solve the problem. ”

"Huh?"

“…… Yes! ”

The second uncle looked embarrassed, but he still tentatively said, "Master Sang, what do you mean?" ”

"The one outside who keeps tossing your house is not in the coffin. You should have understood. Sang Xiaoge stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the fat cat's head on his knee, and said very slowly: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, or you have your difficulties." I don't need to know too much, but let me help you solve the problem, and you think about what information I should know? If you talk about this in a big way, you may be killed. ”

The last sentence made the two old men tremble, the second elder glanced at each other again, and the third uncle whispered to his second brother: "Don't hide it, I think this girl does have the ability, and she was introduced by Chang Lao." Tell her everything. ”

The embarrassment on the second uncle's face was even worse, the old man took out a cigarette and subconsciously handed it to Sang Xiaoge, but he didn't expect Sang Xiaoge to reach out and take it.

Because, the cat said, "Then I want to smoke." ”

8

The second uncle took a deep puff of cigarette and watched in surprise as the girl lit the cigarette very unfamiliarly, and then stuffed the cigarette holder into her lap, the mouth of the fat cat with glasses. Moreover, the fat cat really took a puff and slowly spat out a smoke ring.

In any case, it can be seen from this cat that this girl must be amazing! Therefore, the second uncle simply put aside his precautions and poured out the little pickled things at home.

9

It is not uncommon for someone in the family to die, and in the process of doing the funeral, suddenly a relative begins to speak in the tone and tone of the deceased. If you ask no more than three people around you, there must be someone who has encountered this kind of thing.

This is what the folk call the "upper body".

And then the Liucun family, the one who kept going to the relatives was not the person in the coffin. It's the sister-in-law of the two uncles.

Most of the people in a village are more or less related to each other. The surname of Houliu Village is not Liu, but Zhao. The old lady of the Zhao family started in business back then, but died early in middle age. Leaving an orphan daughter and widow, her daughter married far away from the south, leaving only the sister-in-law, guarding the property, but she never agreed to her daughter to take her to the south for the elderly.

Han people always have a landlord plot, and when they have money, they first buy a house and buy land. After that, one-third of the land and houses in Liucun were bought by the uncle and inherited by the eldest sister-in-law. In recent years, housing prices and land prices have risen wildly, so that the grandfather died, and the family's assets have been rolled a few times.

At the beginning, the uncle was in business, and the two younger brothers and sister-in-law also contributed some strength, but the uncle died, and he died suddenly, but he did not leave much inheritance to his younger brothers and sisters. The battle over family property naturally broke out, but the sister-in-law was obedient and domineering, and she didn't pull out a dime of the family property. But after all, they are really relatives, and there are always contacts on weekdays. There are quarrels, and there are also knock-outs.

Later, the eldest sister-in-law was inexplicably in poor health.

With her daughter not around, she hired a distant relative to take care of herself. This distant relative is the cousin-in-law of the woman who just died.

The person who takes care of herself, the old lady also has no good face all day, but fortunately, the woman who takes care of her is wooden and silent. Don't fight back, don't scold back.

The honest man who is silent and doesn't necessarily have no temper, since he takes care of her closely, she handles the food and medicine, and she doesn't know what hands and feet she uses, (Sang Xiaoge thinks that the second uncle either knows, acquiesces or even helps), the old lady has been taken care of for more than a year, her body and temper are getting worse and worse, and then she suddenly died one day.

Heart failure.

10

The old lady's daughter and son-in-law went home to mourn, and the white affairs were done very beautifully. The daughter and son-in-law naturally can't find any reason.

At the beginning, the daughter persuaded the old lady to sell the property here and go to the south with her. After the funeral was completed, he simply entrusted his relatives here to sell the old man's inheritance. The second uncle and the third uncle had already done their tricks in advance, and got all the houses and land at a price far below the market price.

Almost all the clansmen were involved in this matter, after all, the two families couldn't make up so much money in a short period of time. Later, just in time for the government to develop the land, and then the real estate developer developed the Houliucun New Area here, almost every family in the entire village was allocated a house and received a lot of compensation......

11

The second uncle spoke secretly, but Sang Xiaoge and Mr. Lan basically guessed the clues. Xiao Dezi was playing a mobile game next to him, and he didn't say a word, but the fat cat had already made a judgment.

"It's easy to break this matter, it must be that the eldest sister-in-law of his family is too resentful after her death, and her obsession is condensed, and it will be over when she finds her soul. But their group, in short, is ill-gotten gains. 20,000 is too little, will you start the price from the ground? ”

The cat "purred" and licked its paws and asked Sang Xiaoge.

Sang Xiaoge was silent for three minutes.

Sitting on the ground and starting the price should control the rhythm. This is like the old Chinese medicine doctor frowning and pondering, the longer the contemplation, the deeper the frown, the more uneasy the patient and his family become.

"How many years has your sister-in-law been dead?"

Finally, Master Sang broke the silence and asked.

"Three full years have passed." The other party quickly replied.

"It's not that it can't be done, but I'm afraid it will take some trouble. Moreover, those who are in a coma at home are so ghostly that even if they are awake, they may get a serious illness. There will be even more unpredictable sequelae! Sang Xiaoge looked solemn and said after considering the words.

The two old men glanced at each other, and then the second uncle said: "We will spend the money that should be spent, and we will definitely cooperate with it, master, you should bother more." I don't know if I can ...... it completely."

"The yin spirit is full of obsessions, and has been wandering in the yang world for three years and refuses to enter reincarnation. I swallowed enough frustration in this white thing, and I was already close to a ghost. If you want to completely eliminate the troubles, unless you beat her to pieces! This is a great damage to yin morality. ”

"Let's give more money, and then do more meritorious and good deeds afterwards. I just ask the master to solve the problem at one time! When the third uncle heard the words "evil ghost", his body trembled, and he hurriedly responded.

12

The price is negotiated, and the next step is to get down to business.

The body of the old lady who died three years ago had already been cremated, and her ashes were taken to the south by her daughter.

"Then her soul must be hidden in something she cared about very much in her life. And it should not be far from here. Mr. Lan lay on Sang Xiaoge's shoulder, inspected the people in the spirit shed, and said with some annoyance: "It's a pity that most of my ability has been lost, otherwise it will be enough to directly induce, so why not spend this effort." ”

"What's the use of talking that nonsense? Don't you have to rely on this girl now? ”

Sang Xiaoge scolded the fat cat, and then called the second uncle and explained the meaning.

"This, it is most appropriate to ask my cousin and daughter-in-law. But she's been in a coma since yesterday......"

"Where's she?" Sang Xiaoge asked.

"It's in the yard next door." The third uncle came over and said, "A few people who were put on the body and passed out were sent to the hospital and couldn't find anything, they were all lying in the courtyard house next door." I'll take you there? ”

"Let's go. Check it out! ”

……

In the next yard, three in the north, lay four unconscious people.

Sang Xiaoge saw the "cousin-in-law" who was the first to be ghosted, and there was a daughter by her side who was taking care of her.

"I'm going to check on her, you let everyone get out of here, I don't tell anyone not to enter the house, otherwise it's dangerous, and no one can save her." Sang Xiaoge said to the third uncle.

When her daughter and third uncle went out, and arranged for Xiao Dezi to "protect the Fa" outside the door, Sang Xiaoge and Mr. Lan carefully examined this woman about fifty years old.

I saw that her face was sallow, her lips were purple, and she rolled her eyelids to see that her pupils were turning upward. Moreover, the temperature of her body surface is hot, even if there is no "ghost upper body", ordinary people have such a fever, and if it lasts for a long time, I am afraid that it will burn out the brain.

"Check the jewelry she's wearing!"

Mr. Lan sniffed around the woman.

Sang Xiaoge checked it and found that there were really a lot of things on this woman. He wears a pearl necklace around his neck, and five gold rings and gemstone rings on his fingers. Left hand, right hand.

"Neither." Mr. Lan shook its chubby head and said, "Keep looking." ”

The sleeves were rolled up, and on the woman's arm was a snake-shaped bracelet in white gold with emerald glasses.

"That's it!"

Mr. Lan leaned over, sniffed it and said, "Take it off, I'll mix something, soak it...... Not good, retreat! ”

Sang Xiaoge heard Mr. Lan's tone change greatly, and before he could react, the woman who had not moved at all sat up suddenly, grabbed Sang Xiaoge's neck with both hands, and made a strange sound of "Hehe" in her mouth, and her two eyes were only white, with gloomy resentment......
