Chapter 9: Soul Scattering Grenades

Winter and summer vacations are always happy days that I look forward to and yearn for. But not my parents.

For my winter and summer vacations, my parents seemed very helpless and worried.

Obviously, in their opinion, it would be great if my school never had winter and summer vacations.

It turned out that we were a family of three who moved from other places. When there was no holiday, my parents took me out on time at half past seven every day, and the family of three took a car to work and go to school.

At half past five in the afternoon, my father picked me up from school after work, and my mother took the bus to the vegetable market to buy vegetables after work, and then took the bus home.

And once I was at home on vacation, no one cooked me breakfast and lunch, and no one watched over me.

My parents' work unit is quite far away from home, although they have a car, but in just two hours at noon, they can't rush home to cook Chinese food for me, I always order takeout, either KFC or McDonald's, all eat junk food.

When the summer vacation was approaching, the parents frowned and complained. With such a long vacation, what should my son do? The mother also complained that when it came to the holidays, her son was alone at home without supervision, and he secretly played the game of "running and go-kart" all day long, and his eyesight deteriorated, and now he is almost wearing glasses.

The parents' complaints were heard by Feiyu, and Feiyuzi said to my father with a smile: "You send Li Jiuyin to my fishing tackle shop, I will take care of his breakfast and lunch, and if he is willing to eat in my store for dinner, I will also be responsible, anyway, there are still a few people in my store, and they all run their own meals a day, and there is not much more than him." ”

The father thought that when he was commuting to work, he happened to pass by the big-eyed tuna fishing tackle shop of the flying fish boy, and when he went to work, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to store his son in the fishing tackle shop? As for the cost of his son's two meals a day, it is far less than a drop in the bucket for the Flying Fish Boy of the demolition nouveau riche.

In this way, after the summer vacation began, my father sent me to the big-eyed tuna fishing tackle shop every day when he went to work.

The Big Eye Tuna Tackle Shop is a 5-storey building located in the middle of the downtown area of the Corniche. Each floor covers an area of about 200 square meters, and this building is the ancestral home of Flying Fish.

The first and second floors are stalls, selling all kinds of fishing gear, including all kinds of fishing rods, fishing wheels, fishing lines, bait, etc., among which there are many kinds of high-end imported fishing gear, such as Ximano, Dayiwa, pure fishing, Lebole and other big brands of goods, as well as all kinds of sea fishing tools specially for Huizhou Daqing needle, South China Sea oil wells, Dongsha Islands sea fishing, and some electric agitation fishing wheels often cost tens of thousands of yuan. In addition to selling all kinds of fishing tackle, there is also a major business, which is to make and repair various types of fishing rods and fishing wheels.

In addition to Feiyu and his wife Yuehuhu, there is also his brother-in-law Ah Hai.

Ah Hai is in his early twenties, also a local, graduated from Guangdong Ocean University, I don't know if he specializes in fishing in college, anyway, as soon as he graduated, he was arranged by the flying fish couple to work in the fishing tackle shop, usually in addition to watching the store, he often accompanied his brother-in-law out fishing.

The business hours of a fishing tackle shop are very different from those of a regular shop. It mainly takes full account of the characteristics of anglers who go out early and return late.

Every day, the door is open before dawn to welcome customers. A variety of tackle and bait are available for anglers who prefer early fishing. Because the fish mouth is good in the early morning, anglers who fish early must go fishing as soon as possible. In the evening, the shop is not idle, and anglers who like night fishing come to replenish the stock again.

In addition to buying bait and fishing tackle, the people who come to the store are more anglers chatting and drinking tea.

In the evenings, especially on weekends, there is always a group of anglers who know or don't know each other for tea and chat.

In the corner of the hall is a huge coffee table made of the planks of an ancient shipwreck, and it seems that a group of anglers will always gather around every day, drinking tea and exchanging their fishing experiences. The shopkeeper waits for them every day with good tea and cigarettes.

I usually do my homework on the third floor of the fishing tackle shop. The third floor was air-conditioned and spacious with a bathroom. The entire floor is divided in half. Half of it is used as a restaurant, and the other half is used as a place for official pick-up.

There is only one exit on the first floor of the whole building, and the adults are on the first and second floors, and I want to go out, and I can't escape their eyes. Therefore, I can't just run out on the street on my own, and they don't have to worry about my personal safety.

In addition to doing my homework and playing with toys, I often chat with Ah Hai. When there are no guests, Ah Hai occasionally turns on the computer and plays with me for a while to "run the go-kart".

I sometimes take my Lyra and sometimes I play it. Ah Hai sometimes saw me playing the piano, and he was also quite interested, he looked here and there and touched, and occasionally asked me to teach him to play a few times, but after he played a few times, he shook his head and said that he couldn't play.

The last time the flying fish boy was attacked by a female ghost at the bottom of the bridge, he had palpitations. He firmly believes that there are water ghosts in the water.

"Uncle Flying Fish, what is a water ghost?" Out of curiosity, I asked the flying fish cub many times. Flying Fish told me that the water ghost is the ghost in the water, it is a ghost who accidentally dies in the water, or commits suicide in the rivers, lakes and seas, and cannot be reincarnated and left behind the ghost to harm people, secretly wandering under the water, pulling the living people on the shore into the water to drown, being its substitute ghost, after finding the substitute ghost, they can be reincarnated themselves. There are also water ghosts in Japan, and the Japanese call them "kappa".

When it comes to how water ghosts harm people, Flying Fish Boy seems to be very familiar, he said, although the water ghosts are weak on the shore, they can be infinitely powerful in the water, they often wander in the water where they drowned, sometimes they like to lure the people on the shore into the water with their cries, sometimes they quietly wait for people to fall into the water, after they catch the person who has fallen into the water, they will block the victim's mouth and nose with mud and cause suffocation, they suck human blood, and also like to eat people's eyes and nails! The rule of the water ghost is that you can only find your own substitute ghost every three years, and if you fail to capture it, you have to wait for three years.

I was so pale that I couldn't breathe.

"Have you really seen a water ghost?"

Regarding the fact that the flying fish boy was attacked by a water ghost, Ah Hai expressed his disbelief.

"Where did you come from, I often fish by the water, I've never seen it." Ah Hai said.

"You think I'm going to see me? It's best to never meet once in a lifetime, but I happened to meet it, and I almost died! ”

Speaking of this, Flying Fish Boy unbuttoned his chest excitedly, opened his chest, and showed Ah Hai and me his chest, and sure enough, there were a few pink scars.

"Do you see clearly? This is what the female water ghost left behind. ”

After Flying Fish buttoned his shirt, he said that the last time I was attacked by a water ghost at the bottom of the bridge, the pain was unbearable. As soon as the next day dawned, I hurried to the hospital to see a doctor, and the doctor said that it was a skin injury, no injuries to the muscles and bones, it didn't matter, only put some red syrup on me, and prescribed some oral anti-inflammatory drugs.

However, after using the medicine prescribed by the doctor, the wound did not heal and festered a large area. I thought, if it was really a normal skin injury, then the medicine should be cured in less than three to five days, but this time, the medicine used seemed to be splashed on a stone, and it had no effect at all. Then I suspect even more that it was the water ghost who was injured.

Later, I applied black dog blood around the wound on my chest, then peeled off the freshly boiled egg and quickly rolled it on my chest. Roll until the egg is not hot, peel off the egg white and see that the egg yolk has turned black, and there are small bugs in the egg yolk. I asked the mage, and the mage said that it was possible that he had been poisoned by corpse oil. What is Corpse Oil Gu Poison? I think it's the water ghosts.

I tossed like this for a few days in a row, and my wound was healed, so it is certain that I was injured by the water ghost.

If the flying fish boy no longer goes fishing, he and the water ghosts have a well water and do not interfere with the river water, and the two will be fine, but for a fisherman who fishes as a business, not letting him fish is not equivalent to killing him.

If he didn't go fishing for a few days, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had a spicy addiction, and at this time, the only way to let him go to the water's edge to fish happily could cure his addiction.

Therefore, after the wound on the flying fish boy's chest healed, in order to arm himself in order to deal with the water ghosts, he specially flew to Putuo Mountain and Wutai Mountain to visit several mages.

After coming back, although his Taoism is very shallow, it is not a half-hanging, but the fishing cannot be delayed for a moment, he can't wait until his Taoism is very high, he can't wait to start arming himself with his brother-in-law Ah Hai: every day when there are no guests, the two of them start chanting. It is said that it was a mantra given by the mage, and the more they recited it, I was able to recite it as well.

They recited the "Mantra of the Ogre General"

...... Invite the ghost eater general, bravely raise his name to the ten directions, cure ghosts and monsters on the mountain day, and form a yin soldier on the water at night...... The bull-headed horse-faced officials and generals opened the hell to save the life, the disciples of the Dharma sect worshipped and invited, and the ghost-eating general came. The Divine Soldier is as urgent as the law......

Flying Fish Boy told me that the Ghost Eater General is the king of ghosts, and he and the Spirit-Eater General are both guardian gods of the sect, and they are both members of the Thirty-six Generals. It is best to memorize this spell at home, so as not to be frightened and forget the words when you meet the water ghosts.

In addition to reciting the mantra to the fullest, the flying fish boy also according to the mage,

Make your own weapon to subdue demons - "Soul Scattering Grenade." ”

The name "Soul Scattered Grenade" was coined by Flying Fish Boy himself, and the production method is not complicated, the specific method is: first of all, cinnabar, peach, paper talisman, black dog blood, wormwood, betel nut, garlic, chili, leek, etc., all the legendary things that can ward off evil spirits and drive away ghosts are mixed together, and then I am told to sprinkle a soak of urine on it, then dry it, and then crush it into powder, and put it in a plastic bag for later use. When used, it is filled into an empty beer or cola can, inserted into a powerful egg-sized firework cannon, and sealed with wax. When using, pull the seal open, pull out the fuse, and then ignite.

At first, I didn't know why I was asked to pee on a big pot of mess.

Flying Fish Boy said, my urine is a child's urine, which has the effect of driving away ghosts and evil spirits, which is very good.

On that day, after making more than a dozen "Soul Scattered Grenades" together, Flying Fish and Ah Hai asked me to go to a forest behind the store to test them out.

As we got there, I saw an abandoned fish pond in the woods. The water is deep and very clear, there is no movement, the trees around the pond are towering and cloudy, blocking the sun, the fish pond does not see the sun all year round, when we walk to the pond, we only feel the yin air blowing on the face.

Flying Fish Boy told Ah Hai that everything should be drilled from actual combat.

After they walked to the edge of the fish pond, the flying fish boy took out the paper talisman, and the two of them muttered a word, reciting the "Ghost Eater General's Mantra" that they had memorized well.

Finally, with the sentence: "The divine soldier is as urgent as the law!" As soon as the words fell, the two took out the soul scattering grenade from their chests, "Smack!" "Smack!" Pull open the lid, pull out the fuse, take out the lighter, light it, and throw it into the fish pond.

The fuse of the fireworks cannon is coated with a layer of wax, so it can explode even if it is thrown into deep water.

Flying Fish Boy and Ah Hai threw two in a row, only to see a few strings of "squeaky" small bubbles popping out of the water, and the fish pond, which had been lifeless for many years, suddenly let out four "boom!" "Boom!" With a loud bang, as the four pillars of water rising in the middle of the fish pond fell, the sky was filled with a choking smell of dog blood and human urine.

Seeing this scene, Flying Fish Boy said with great satisfaction: "This angler has tiger teeth, a pure black male dog, and this soul scattered grenade, I'm still afraid of you water ghosts?" No matter how powerful the water ghost is, if you dare to bully this angler, this angler will make you scattered! Let you be a lonely ghost forever! ”
