Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Cowbell Leads the Way
Niu Da Huang shook his head and smiled slightly, waved his hand, he didn't seem to be ready to keep talking about this issue, and began to smoke the dry tobacco pouch.
I don't want to mention this either, because, at this moment, I am not in the mood to think about such a thing at all. Grandpa didn't wake up, and the second fat is now in deep danger, and my heart is like pressing one heavy stone after another, and it is already a little difficult to breathe.
Today, the situation in the whole village is not optimistic, and to wait is to sit still. Moreover, He Xiaojing has already brought the news that the lame horse is going to act.
In the last few days, the lame horse seems to have evaporated, but he must be planning something in the shadows. He has been preparing for so long, and his actions are definitely not petty. And the Ma family, the Taoist family He Xiaojing mentioned, has scattered Taoist priests in charge, and I'm afraid it is not easy to deal with.
Now, I don't know if Mrs. Wang knows the news.
Thinking of this, I asked Niu Rhubarb if he had any way to deal with it. Niu Rhubarb took a deep puff of the dry tobacco pouch, smiled bitterly, and said, "Yiwa, you look up to me too much, a bad old man." I was forced to do that just now, and they didn't take me away and pour the merit soup, it was luck. I'm just an old Chinese medicine doctor, but I really don't have your grandfather's skills. To be honest, I don't have a clue about this! ”
I had to nod, no matter whether Niu Rhubarb was deliberately hiding his strength or not, I had to take action. Mrs. Wang said she would help me, but she never came, and I was afraid that something would go wrong.
Thinking of this, I have to go to Dongwa Village again.
I had to act first to get ahead of the curve. However, when I was about to leave, Niu Rhubarb stopped me and said, "A baby, it's dark outside at night, don't go out again now." What's the matter, it's not too late to go out tomorrow to do it! ”
"But the matter is urgent, I have to go to the king to discuss!" I said, feeling a little anxious.
Niu Da Huang motioned for me to calm down and let me sit down at the stone table in the courtyard, and he said: "Rats are used to walking at night, which will affect the villagers who are controlled in the village, and their habits will also be reversed. Actually, there's no rush in this matter, you still don't wait until the sun comes out tomorrow, and then go out to Dongwa Village! ”
His words were not unreasonable, and I had to sit down with peace of mind.
I asked Niu Da Huang, if Ma Weiguo's few fell down, would those rat spirits notice it, and would they send other villagers to arrest people?
Niu Rhubarb thought about it and said, I really can't rule out this possibility.
Moreover, Niu Rhubarb also said that the method of water spinach has been used once, and if it is used again, I am afraid it may not work. I asked him what to do, and he said it was okay, there was another way.
Because of my grandfather, there is never a shortage of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones at home. Niu Rhubarb asked me to find a piece of red paper and cut out a strip. Then, with a stroke of a pen, he wrote four words on the red paper: "Six animals are prosperous".
Six animals thriving? What the hell is this?
I thought he was going to show his true ability to draw talismans, but I didn't expect to see him write these words, I was really confused.
Isn't this "six animals thriving" a couplet sticker posted on the cattle pen and sheep pen during the Chinese New Year? What did he do when he wrote such a couplet? What's more, my grandfather fortune teller looks at feng shui for a living, does not raise livestock and poultry, and there is no cowpen and chicken coop at home, where can he post such a couplet?
When I asked him, he looked mysterious and said, "This method cannot be broken, because if it is broken, it will not work." ”
Grandpa once said that some Taoist methods are very magical, but between the success and failure of the magic, it is like a piece of paper. Even, maybe because of a word, a drop of blood, will be broken.
Therefore, as soon as Niu Rhubarb said, I knew this rule, so I stopped asking.
After writing the couplet, Niu Rhubarb took out two cowbells from the room where he lived recently. Holding it in his hand, he shook it twice, and it was very crisp. In the countryside, in the middle of the mountains, if you hear such a tinkle sound, it will definitely make people feel calm and comfortable.
Niu Rhubarb first strung the cowbells with a rope and hung them near the gate.
Then, he glanced out through the crack in the door, opened the door carefully, and took the small couplet he had just written, "Six Animals Prosperous", and pasted it on the wall outside.
After posting, he quickly closed the door.
When he opened the door, I glanced at it and found that Ma Weiguo and the other villagers outside had disappeared.
It seems that Niu Rhubarb is right, and the method of water spinach can only trick them for a while. Because, their hearts are only controlled by rat spirits, and they can't find their own hearts, and they are not like Bigan, who are dug out of their hearts.
After closing the door, Niu Da Huang breathed a sigh of relief and said to me: "Yiwa, you go to sleep, with these things, tonight, we will definitely be able to sleep well." What's the matter, we have to nourish our spirits, otherwise, we will be sluggish and be exploited by some unclean things, and it will be bad. ”
I'm really curious, what does it mean that Niu Rhubarb sticks couplets and hangs cowbells? However, this kind of thing, and I can't ask about it, really suffocates me.
When I went back to the house and lay down, I felt tired all over my body, and as soon as I lay down, I didn't want to get up again. There's been so much going on lately that I haven't had a good rest at all.
The things in my mind shook one by one, and I couldn't sleep for a long time.
In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard movement outside.
My house is close to the gate, so the sounds outside are usually heard very clearly. Some people were talking about something, and they were coming closer and closer to my house. When I thought about it, I guessed that the villagers were once again instructed to come and arrest people.
Niu Rhubarb said they could get a good night's sleep, but why did they come again?
I became vigilant and even prepared to shout rhubarb. However, when the men stopped at my door, they seemed to be talking about something, and did not immediately call and bang on the door. After a while, I heard a man say, "Hey, that's strange, wasn't this place a house before?" Why did it become a cowshed, didn't we feel the wrong place? ”
"This ...... I can't seem to remember where that house is, it seems to be this place! ”
"Nope! No, it's a cowshed! Listen, there's the sound of cowbells inside. As he spoke, the bell of the cow at the door of the courtyard was ringing.
"Hey, it's a cowshed!"
"Forget it, let's look elsewhere, maybe we're on the wrong track."
Then, there was the footsteps of a group of people leaving.
At this point, I can understand what Niu Rhubarb wrote couplets and hung cowbells for, and it turned out to have this effect. Really, at this time, what I admire about Niu Rhubarb is the five-body throw. I was so excited that I even wanted to get up and talk to Niu Da Huang, but thinking that he must have fallen asleep, I had to sleep peacefully.
The hand of Niu Da Huang made the night very peaceful, and then I quickly fell asleep.
This time, I dreamed of her again. She was dressed in red, and in the distance, in the mist, she rode the white horse, and looked at me from afar.
The night breeze was bleak, and suddenly, the red veil on her face fell with the wind.
Just as I was about to see her face clearly, I suddenly woke up.
How did I dream of her again?
I stretched, shook my head, and without thinking much about it, I realized that it was already dawn outside.
Niu Da Huang got up early, there was movement in the kitchen, and when I got up, I ate some breakfast he cooked, and I was ready to go to Dongwa Village.
Niu Da Huang said, my grandmother in Dongwa Village, there should be a way.
I said, I hope so, and as he was leaving, he took a cowbell from the door. He said that even though it is daylight, it should not be taken lightly. He told me to take this cowbell and shake it every few steps. If you meet someone else, especially the one with a black umbrella, don't see it, swing your cowbell, just go.
I nodded, wrote down the explanation of Niu Da Huang, and set off from home with the cow bell in my hand. My uncle's house is not far from my house, and when I left, I wanted to go over and take a look, after all, the three days of the wake, today was originally the day of my uncle's funeral, but I didn't expect that his body was lost, and I had to at least go over and give him an incense.
Thinking of this, I took the cowbell and went to my uncle's house.
In the past, at this time in the village, there would be many villagers, some going to fetch water, and some going to the fields to pull vegetables. But when I came out today, there was no one on the road, and the village was so quiet that there was not even a dog barking.
It seems that Niu Rhubarb is right, after the villagers are controlled, their habits have also changed, and black and white have been reversed.
The door of the uncle's house was open, so I entered, put a rice bowl in front of the uncle's happy wood, inserted incense in it, and lit it. At this time, I suddenly thought of the two spiritual positions in the house, thinking that when my uncle was alive, he worshiped every day, and now that my uncle is gone, I will also put incense on him.
However, when I walked to the spiritual seat, I found that the tribute had been replaced with a new one, and even the four incense sticks had been newly inserted.
Someone came to offer incense to this spiritual seat in exchange for a tribute?
Who will it be?
I don't know if it's my delusion, but at this time, I feel like someone is watching me somewhere in this room.
Just as I was puzzled and goosebumps got on my back, all of a sudden, the door outside creaked open. Hearing this, I immediately quickened my pace and hid in the next room.
Quietly closing the door, I crouched under the window.
I crouched down, trying to hold my breath.
Because, now the villagers in our village have basically been controlled by rat essence. I can't be seen without being discovered, so I can avoid unnecessary trouble.
The door was pushed open, and I hid under the window of the back room, quietly looking out.
I saw someone with a black umbrella approaching cautiously.
When I looked closely, I was even more surprised when I saw who she was. The person who came turned out to be the second fat mother, who was holding a black umbrella in one hand and a small basket in the other.
