Chapter Seventy-Seven: Going Sick
I saw the second uncle following the black shadow and preparing to leave. I hurried to follow.
However, he was pulled back by Qiao Fat.
I glanced at Fat Joe, but he shook his head at me.
Also! The second uncle has always been alone in doing things, and he is resolute! He said that if he wanted us to go back, there must be something he didn't want us to know! However, I don't like it very much!
After sighing, our group had no choice but to go back.
By the time we came down from the mountain, it was already dark. The people in the village go to bed early and wake up very early. As soon as dawn came, people began to come out to work. The villagers who came out with us also left and went home. Even the swallows are gone!
When we returned to the old patriarch's house again, there were only three members of the old village chief's family left, as well as a few of us.
Because of the tossing all night, plus all the mental tension. So, as soon as we got back to the old patriarch's house, we began to rest.
Lying on the clay kang, I couldn't sleep. What happened this time really benefited me a lot! Change your life against the sky and confront the Star King. It's the craziest thing I've ever done! No matter what the process and the outcome were, I came back alive! That's enough!
The more I think about it, the more excited I get!
Qiao Fat didn't know why he didn't sleep, but asked me, "Lin Shuo, did you encounter anything when you were chasing Xiaofeng?" Why did it take so long? ”
I nodded, and then told him about Xiaofeng's evil spirit.
After listening to my words, Fat Joe didn't say anything anymore.
Gradually, a wave of tiredness hit, and I slowly fell asleep.
I slept until noon, and when I woke up again, I found that the old village chief and his family were no longer there. And Tang Xiao was busy in the outhouse to get us some food.
I woke up Fat Joe and simply ate something. Tang Xiao told us that before leaving, the old village chief told us that he wanted us to live in the old patriarch's house! Anyway, there is no one left in the old patriarch's house. This house is empty and empty!
I nodded, but didn't say anything.
At this moment, the second uncle came back!
Looking at the tired appearance of the second uncle, I hurriedly served him food.
The second uncle told us that we were going to build a mound for the third baby today. In addition, I had to go to the homes of the seven men and heal them.
So, after eating, we set off again.
The first thing we went to was the house of a man who helped me stand in the seven-star position yesterday.
As soon as I entered the door, I felt a sweltering and humid heat rushing over my face!
I looked around, and then I realized that the doors and windows of the whole house were closed, and there was a fire under the earthen kang. On a hot day, even standing in the yard will sweat. It's unbelievable that they're doing it!
As we walked into the back room, we saw that the man was lying on the earthen kang with a large quilt on his body. Still, even so, he shivered with cold!
I looked at him, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips were a little blue. His daughter-in-law beckoned us to sit down, and kept covering him with something.
The fat man is already hot and sweating like rain at this time! He said to the man's daughter-in-law, "It's so hot this day, why don't you open the window and let in some air?" ”
But the man's daughter-in-law hurriedly shook her head and stopped Qiao Fat's movements. Then, sobbing, she said to us, "He's been like this since he was sent back tonight." I don't eat or drink, and sometimes I talk nonsense. He is the breadwinner of our family, and if he has something to do, what should we do as a family? ”
In the end, the man's daughter-in-law actually cried "woo".
The second uncle didn't say anything, but walked up to the man's side, stretched out his hand and touched the back of the man's head. Immediately, I looked around the room. Then he asked the man's daughter-in-law: "Has he been feeling cold all over his body since he came back?" Even if you close the doors and windows, you can't do anything! ”
After listening to the second uncle's question, the man's daughter-in-law nodded hurriedly: "That's right!" That's what he looks like! ”
The second uncle was silent for a while and said, "That's because he has a tendency to scatter souls!" ”
Hearing the second uncle say this, Qiao Fat Man and I were stunned!
Scattered souls? So serious!
The so-called scattered soul refers to the fact that a person's three souls and seven spirits leave the body at the same time. And at that point, that person will either become a vegetative person or be completely dead!
Now when I hear the second uncle say that he has the possibility of dispersing his soul, I am a little uneasy! After all, the reason why he became like this is also caused by me!
Thinking of this, I asked my second uncle, "Is there still salvation?" What should we do? ”
The second uncle looked at the man and said, "There is only one way!" It's to make a stand-in for him! ”
Speaking of this, the second uncle turned to the man's daughter-in-law and asked, "Do you have yellow paper and black pens at home?" Preferably a brush and ink! ”
Listening to the second uncle's words, the man's daughter-in-law shook her head. He said, "Our family is all engaged in farm work. There is no such thing! However, the village chief has it at home. If you don't wait for me here, I'll go to the village chief's house and ask for a return!" ”
So saying, the man's daughter-in-law prepared to leave.
But I hurriedly stopped her and said, "Let's have more with the village chief!" We'll use it later! ”
The man's daughter-in-law said yes and went out.
About ten minutes later, the man's daughter-in-law returned. He also brought back a large piece of yellow paper, as well as two brushes and a bottle of ink.
The second uncle used scissors to cut off a piece of yellow paper. Then, the cut yellow paper was folded in half. He began to use scissors to cut out the shape of a small figure on it.
I've seen this kind of stand-in in the Soul Burial Sutra. However, it was taken at a glance and not carefully studied. So, I don't understand much about it either. I didn't expect the second uncle to do this! It seems that he has memorized the entire Soul Burial Sutra!
After the second uncle cut the paper figure, he burned a paper figure to ashes and put it in a bowl. Then he washed it with warm water and gave it to the man's daughter-in-law. Say, "Give him this to drink!" ”
"Do you really want to drink?" The man's daughter-in-law looked at the second uncle suspiciously and asked.
Qiao Fat Man on the side couldn't help but say, "What? Are you still afraid that we will harm your man? ”
Hearing Qiao Fatzi's words, the man's daughter-in-law hesitated. In the end, he directly helped the man up and fed him the water in the bowl little by little.
After he drank all the water, the second uncle asked the man about his birthday. Only then did I use a brush dipped in some ink and write down on another paper figure one by one.
After writing this, the second uncle came to the man's side and scratched the middle finger of his left hand with scissors. Scratched the man's finger and dripped blood on the paper figure.
The second uncle put away the paper figure and pulled a hair down the man's head. Then, a red thread was tied to the body of the paper figure. Then he said to the man's daughter-in-law, "Then he may react a little more violently." However, there is no real danger! Just endure it for a while and you'll be fine! ”
After listening to the second uncle's words, the man's daughter-in-law nodded.
However, the second uncle is still not very relieved! Said to me and Fat Joe, "Wait a minute, you two will help control the situation too!" I'm afraid she won't be able to do it alone! ”
We nodded at the same time, all in agreement.
The second uncle didn't say anything anymore, just found a lighter and lit the paper figure in his hand.
As the paper figure just burned, the man lying on the clay kang suddenly screamed: "Hot! It's hot! No, I'm going to burn to death! Hurry up and save me! Help me! ”
As he spoke, his body began to shake violently. His daughter-in-law hurried over and hugged him, trying to control him. However, the man broke free from his daughter-in-law, stood up directly from the kang, and prepared to break out of the window.
Qiao and I were quick and rushed to the kang and pressed him firmly there. At this time, the man's skin was red and swollen, and it was still exuding heat. It's even a little hot in your hand!
The man was now held firmly by us, and could not move. However, he was still screaming desperately.
His daughter-in-law was so anxious that she shed tears next to her.
It wasn't until the entire paper figure was burned to ashes that the man returned to normal. Tired and fell on the kang!
His daughter-in-law hurried over and asked how he was doing. After taking a few breaths, the man barely got up, knelt on the kang and kowtowed to the second uncle. With a strong mouth, he called the second uncle his reborn parents!
The second uncle said lightly: "Your problems have all been solved!" Take a good rest. I guess if you go to sleep now, you'll be able to sleep until tomorrow morning. When you get up again, there's nothing to do! ”
After that, he packed up his things and said, "Okay, we're going to go to those people's houses." Let's go first! ”
After saying that, he turned around and went out.
And so, we left in a thousand thanks to them.
When I came out of the man's house, I found that the fat man was muttering alone in the back. I couldn't help but ask him, "What's wrong with you?" Is it also upper? Why don't I show you? ”
Fat Qiao gave me a blank look and said, "Don't talk nonsense there!" Master Qiao, I just think that the strength of your Soul Burial Clan is actually no worse than our Tomb Gate! Why should you live in seclusion and refuse to be present in this world? ”
The second uncle didn't look back and said, "Every line has its own rules!" We have to obey the rules left by our ancestors! ”
As we spoke, we went to another man's house.
In this way, the second uncle used the same means to cure the remaining six people.
By the time we were busy with all this, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.
We decided to take a break first, after all, we still have to get a mound for the three babies tonight!
