Chapter 4 A small school a dozen miles away
I don't know how I'm going to go on in this life, those ghosts and ghosts are always around me like a nightmare. The ghost birthmark on the back often faintly exudes rotten energy.
Master Hu has protected me for ten years, and Xiaodao Aunt Jiang Qixi has followed one after another, wanting to protect me for a few years?
Could it be that I will be like a waste all my life, unable to go to school, unable to go out, being pointed at as a "ghost baby" behind my back, and finally like a lame dog, I will only hide in the house and panic all day long.
"Donkey! Come eat me! ”
In a fit of rage, I picked up a sharp stone and threw it at the old woman in black in front of me.
smashed into the old woman, like smashing into iron and steel, making a crisp sound, which shook the tiger's mouth numbly.
The old woman in black bent her paws and gouged at my eyes.
I closed my eyes in despair.
After a long time, he found that there was no pain, and he slowly opened his eyes in a little panic, and found that Jiang Qixi had stood on the opposite wall at some point, and used an ink thread to tie the old woman in black.
"Jiang Qixi!" I rejoice.
"Shut up, what an ancestor, go away!" Jiang Qi said angrily.
Hearing this, I hurriedly got up and ran forward.
The old woman in black was bound by the ink thread, unable to move, but she still screamed sharply, obviously not wanting to let me go, and her vicious eyes kept glaring at me.
"Jiang Qixi, it wants to eat me!" I shouted again.
"It's a ghost who wants to eat you! Don't talk! ”
I immediately stopped my mouth and watched Jiang Qixi and the old woman in black confronting each other from a distance.
Not long after, Jiang Qixi took out a small wooden sword from the small flower bag, and the small wooden sword was engraved with a blood-colored talisman, faintly bright.
The old woman in black saw the wooden sword, and her dead blue face twisted.
"Punishment!" Jiang Qixi shouted, and the wooden sword was thrown, stabbing into the body of the old woman in black.
The wooden sword shook, and the old woman in black screamed miserably, and the thud turned into gray smoke and dispersed.
Good boy! Jiang Qixi, this little Dao Gu is so domineering!
I was so happy that I ran over and laughed at Jiang Qixi.
"What an ancestor!" Jiang Qixi pursed his lips, jumped down from the wall, and picked up the wooden sword that fell into the dust.
To be honest, I didn't want to see Jiang Qixi before, but at the critical moment, it was this little Taoist aunt who was not treated by me who came to save me, it seems that the person entrusted by Master Hu should also have some ability.
I thought that after Jiang Qixi saved me, he would say some scolding words.
Jiang Qixi looked at me, his mouth curled, "Your mother called you home for dinner." ”
On the way, I asked Jiang Qixi what the old woman in black was.
Jiang Qixi said lightly, "Coffin man." ”
"Coffin man?" I exclaimed.
"I've seen it, and there is a coffin in the broken courtyard, although for some reason it is buried in the courtyard, and the old woman is the dead person lying in the coffin. Autumn is cool and cloudy, and you, the extremely evil yin guest, have just walked by, so it came out. “
I felt a thump in my heart.
"Then when I walk through the cemetery, there will be a lot of coffin people coming to me?"
Jiang Qixi didn't respond, suddenly put his head in front of me, and said "ha" loudly.
I jumped back in fright, and Jiang Qixi laughed.
I turned my head a little angrily and walked forward, Jiang Qixi chased after me, "Chen Xichun, tease you, this coffin man rarely appears, and you are lucky to meet it, but you better be careful, you are a demon body, like a magnet, sucking those mountain ghosts into it." ”
I was silent for a moment and nodded.
In fact, Jiang Qixi didn't say it, I could guess that the appearance of the old woman in black was most likely because of me, a yin guest.
Jiang Qixi saw that I suddenly stopped talking, blinked, and said to me, "Chen Xichun, I told my godmother that I will let you go to school in a few days." ”
Godmother is mother, despite the marriage contract, Jiang Qixi seems to have been a little shy, refusing to call her mother, and calling her aunt will give birth to points, so her mother simply asked her to call her godmother.
Did my mother promise me to go to an elementary school a dozen miles away?
I turned my head in some surprise and looked at Jiang Qixi.
Jiang Qixi smiled, "I'll go with you." ”
"You're going to school too?" I looked at Jiang Qixi a little strangely.
Jiang Qixi raised his eyebrows, "If you can go, I can't go?" ”
"You're a Dao Aunt, shouldn't Dao Gu learn spells to catch ghosts, and you can't learn those spells when you study."
"What's wrong with Aunt Dao? Without me, you would have been bitten to death by the coffin man just now! ”
"That's not what I meant......"
Jiang Qixi snorted, "Godmother said, if I don't go to study, you can't go, I want to watch you all the time." ”
Hearing this, I was in a hurry, and I said a lot of things to make Jiang Qixi happy.
When I got home, as Jiang Qixi said, my mother reluctantly agreed to let me go to school after all, but Jiang Qixi had to watch.
Although I was more than half a month late, fortunately, my mother entrusted me to enter Sifang Primary School.
Sifang Primary School was originally in the town, but later because of the town's reconstruction, it was moved to a market more than ten miles away.
In the entrance exam, except for the ninety-nine multiplication and division, which was a little vague, I got an excellent score in Chinese, and to my surprise, Jiang Qixi was actually excellent.
"I don't know, I've read a lot more books than you." Jiang Qixi said with a smile.
I nodded a little speechlessly.
Jiang Qixi and I were in the third grade, and in the words of the principal, we passed, and we didn't have to squeeze into a class with those half-grown babies who were still wiping their noses.
I thought that after going to school, my life would be much more exciting, but I didn't expect that the name of my "ghost baby" would still spread to the school.
The three dogs next door are in second grade, and I bet it's this little bastard who has spread my mind.
The classmates in the class all avoided me like a plague god.
There was still only Jiang Qixi, who squeezed into the last row by the window with me.
"Since you're here, study hard, don't think about those things." Jiang Qixi said lightly.
Those things, naturally, refer to those things, the things that I was haunted by ghosts.
I studied in school, but I resolutely defeated feudal superstition.
If the teacher asks questions in class, what are you going to do when you grow up?
Eighty percent of the babies will swear to be a scientist.
Science and superstition have always been incompatible. The ghost baby and the little Daogu became the targets of the crusade.
Every time I shouted in a hurry, there was always a little stunned melon baby who rushed up to pinch my ear, and every time I was vigorously pushed away by Jiang Qixi.
I sometimes don't understand how Jiang Qixi, who looks thinner than me, has the strength to beat those so-called child kings one by one to cry and cry and call their mothers, and run away with their legs and tears.
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you!" Jiang Qixi gritted his teeth and wiped the nosebleed that was beaten out of his nose by the way.
I wanted to cry a little, so I would tremble and tear up two practice herbal pages and wipe the blood under my nose for Jiang Qixi.
"Don't wipe it, your nose is crooked."
......
Whenever school is over, Jiang Qixi will always stand at the school gate, look at the darkening sky outside the school with a deep gaze, and then take out a piece of yellow talisman paper from the small flower bag and let me put it in my pocket.
Those children in the same town are not willing to go back with us, and I guess those grandparents in the family will always tell them to stay away from me.
Jiang Qixi and I were happy and quiet, stepping on the afterglow of the sunset and rushing home.
Mother would always be waiting for us at the bluestone bridge at the entrance of the town, day after day.
Many years later, I realized that the figure waiting by the bluestone bridge was so heartwarming.
When Jiang Qixi accompanied me, he was always very careful, even if there was some turmoil, he always raised his eyebrows, stopped, and took out a small wooden sword from the small flower bag with one hand.
"Jiang Qixi, it's a finch." I said.
"The finch is sometimes the eye bird of the mountain ghost." Jiang Qixi pursed his lips and put the small wooden sword back into the small flower bag.
More than ten miles, across a small river, through an old mountain.
Old mountains and rivers will always give rise to quirky and weird stories.
For example, the old mountain, the town's brochure is called Wulao Mountain, and according to legend, five old immortals used to gather here to drink.
Many old people in the town call it the Five Jumping Mountain, and legend has it that there are five little ghosts on the mountain, and after using the evil method of "ghost guidance" to lead people to the mountain, they will be pushed down the cliff and fall to their deaths.
Not many people believed.
Naturally, I believed it, because Master Hu also said so, and told me not to look at the five jumping mountains if I had nothing to do.
If you are remembered by a ghost, it is an extremely dangerous thing.
Besides, I'm still a yin.
Yin guests are very easy to be hated by ghosts.
