Chapter 14: Move
The next day, the three of us got up early, caught the earliest bus, and rushed to Daofan's hometown.
The village where Daofan's family was located was not far from the provincial capital, and four hours later, the three of us stood at the entrance of the village in Daofan's hometown.
As soon as you walk into the village, people come and go, and there are agricultural tricycles loaded with various dew-stained vegetables, shuttling back and forth on the cement-paved village road, which is very lively.
Obviously, compared to our village, Daofan's hometown has a large population and most of them are paddy fields, so it mainly grows vegetables, and wheat and corn are not common here.
Dao Fan has not stopped since he entered the village, and has been greeting "uncle, aunt".
However, the plan of the day lies in the morning, especially for vegetable farmers, in order to ensure the freshness of vegetables, everyone goes down to the ground to pick vegetables before dawn, and now they are busy pulling to buy, few people can take care of the knife, they are all smiling.
About a kilometer had passed, and at the edge of the village, near the end of the village road, there was a mulberry tree that could only be surrounded by two people, with lush branches and leafy branches, under which sat two lonely earthen bungalows, without walls, and only connected to the village road by a small curving dirt road.
Dao Fan opened the somewhat rusty door lock, and a cold air rushed into the room, which looked out of place in this hot June.
The layout of the room is very simple, in addition to the sleeping kang, there is only a table and two chairs, but it is also very tidy, and the provincial city Dao Fan lives in the same place, obviously Dao Fan is very tidy.
Dao Fan put his sister's urn in the corner, wiped the table and stool again, motioned for me and my brother to sit, and went out again without knowing what to do.
Looking at his back, my senior brother and I couldn't help but be moved for a while, and it was not difficult to imagine what a heavy burden this seventeen-year-old boy had to bear on his immature shoulders.
Dao Fan came back after a while, carrying a pot of boiling water, holding a handful of tea leaves in his hand, and began to pour water for me and my senior brother to make tea.
"Daofan, don't be busy yet, there are some things I want to tell you."
Seeing that Daofan was about to go out after making tea, the senior brother hurriedly stopped him.
For the senior brother, Dao Fan seemed to be a little obedient, and after listening to the senior brother's words, he immediately stopped his figure, stood beside the senior brother and nodded.
I was also curious about what the senior brother was going to say, so I stretched out my ears and waited for the senior brother to speak, but the senior brother turned to me and asked:
"Little Zero, how did you feel after entering the door? Does it feel like there's a cold air in this room? ”
I subconsciously nodded and said:
"Senior brother, you feel this way too? Is it because there are no people living in it for several days? ”
Senior Brother shook his head and said something that made Dao Fan and I drop our jaws in shock
"The cold air just now is actually yin, there can be such a strong yin qi in this room, gathering but not dispersing, there must be ghosts lingering here for a long time, Daofan's sister's illness, I'm afraid it is inseparable from these ghosts."
"Brother Liang, is my sister really suffering from a ghost disease?"
After listening to his senior brother's words, Dao Fan couldn't wait to speak.
In fact, the village doctor in Daofan's village is an old Chinese medicine doctor, and when Daofan decided to go to the provincial capital to see his sister, he said that Daofan's sister may have a ghost disease.
Traditional Chinese medicine, under the guidance of the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, studies the physiology, pathology, pharmacology and its relationship with the natural environment, and then seeks the most effective way to prevent and treat diseases.
In addition to studying the medicinal properties of traditional Chinese medicine and the interaction between drugs and the body, TCM doctors also have a certain amount of research on the metaphysics related to the five elements of yin and yang.
But for Dao Fan, although he didn't go to college, he still went to high school for a year, and he can be regarded as an intellectual.
Therefore, compared with these feudal superstitions, he was more willing to believe in the big hospitals in the city, so naturally he didn't take the words of the old Chinese medicine doctor to heart.
But after listening to the words of the senior brother just now, he naturally immediately thought of the words of the old Chinese medicine doctor. It is inevitable that he will regret some regrets in his heart, if it is really a ghost disease, then it would not be a big mistake for him to take his sister to the provincial capital.
The senior brother didn't answer Dao Fan's words, and continued to speak:
"It shouldn't be an ordinary evil ghost harming people, your sister's three souls and seven spirits are gradually drawn out of the body, and your sister herself can't say why, and there is the yin qi here, unlike the ordinary life-seeking ghosts, there is no trace of resentment."
Senior brother was not shocked, Dao Fan and I were naturally stunned, a little foggy, especially when he said that Dao Fan's sister couldn't tell why, could he have seen the ghost of Dao Fan's sister?
After experiencing the ghost baby, I subconsciously have slowly accepted these bizarre things, and carefully recalled what happened after I met Dao Fan, and immediately remembered something, stood up and exclaimed:
"Senior brother, were you talking to Xiaofan's sister's ghost that night?"
"I finally reacted, it seems that my IQ has improved a lot."
I immediately understood what happened that night, I thought it was the ghost baby who played a trick, it turned out that the ghost of Daofan's sister was talking to the senior brother, and the ghost baby in the willow leaf sensed it, so it woke me up.
Dao Fan listened to the conversation between me and my senior brother, and the second monk was even more confused, coupled with his personality, he didn't speak, but his eyes kept wandering on me and my senior brother.
Looking at his appearance, I was a little proud all of a sudden, and told him what I was thinking in one breath, and by the way, I also told him a little about the ghost baby.
Of course, when it comes to the events in Beiquan that night, it is better to say that it is to polish it a little and extract its essence from its dross. To put it mildly, it is to add fuel and vinegar, exaggerate the facts, and pass over the plot of being scared and weak, focusing on the thrilling degree of that night.
Seeing Dao Fan listening to my eyebrows flutter and salivate to finish, the shocked look on his face showed no sign of reduction.
I was even more proud, as if I had seen the world, and even more suffocating took out the willow leaf from my pocket and put it on the pitted table.
I thought to myself that since this ghost baby could feel other ghosts, he would naturally be able to hear what I said, so I pretended to cough and said to Liu Ye:
"Hey, little ghost, you can move to open your eyes to Brother Xiaofan, and prove that my words are true."
However, after a long time, the willow leaves on the table still did not move, I raised my head, only to see the senior brother staring at me like a fool, and Dao Fan was also full of suspicion, as if asking why the leaves did not move at all.
I was so embarrassed that I almost blew on the willow leaf to make it move.
"Probably, he'll be in... Take a nap, I didn't hear it. ”
I really didn't know how to get off the stage, so I was so embarrassed that I had to make up a sentence.
"Take a nap? Does that have to be done for him with a piece of lunch? ”
The senior brother said slowly.
I smirked, quickly proposed to make lunch with Daofan, and slipped out of the house.
Dao Fan thought that it was already noon, and my senior brother and I were guests, so naturally we didn't dare to slack off, and we followed closely, but there was a muttering from my senior brother in the room:
"It seems that we can only ask her again tonight when she comes."
said that I was cooking with Daofan, but in fact, Daofan was mainly doing it, and I was just doing it.
As soon as Daofan entered the kitchen, he was in the style of a chef, rolling noodles and spoons, not only looking good, but also very sharp.
In less than twenty minutes, lunch was ready.
When I entered the room with my food, I was furious by the scene in front of me.
I saw my senior brother looking at the table with a smile on his face, and the willow leaf that ignored me seemed to have long legs, jumping around on the table, as if he was mocking me.
