Since Chen Song dug up the strange earthworm, Hu Kehao fished a magic bottle from Qinglong Pond, Chen Qingshan had another strange dream, he felt that these things were strange everywhere, and he had been worried about the safety of his son Chen Song, afraid that he would be taken away by the monk or other monsters in the dream.

On the day that Hu Kehao and He Xin fell into the Qinglongtan Water Palace, Chen Song's parents were working in the fields, and he was doing his homework at home. Chen Song is in his first year of junior high school, and his teacher has assigned a lot of summer homework, including copying ancient poems, copying English words, and solving math problems to solve equations. Chen Song worked hard all morning to complete the day's homework tasks. After lunch, the children in the yard went to play in the dam of Chen Song's house. They first played hide and seek, and then hung a swing on a big tree in the dam. The swings were swinging in the wind, and the little ones were playing happily and laughing. Chen Song saw that they took turns to play one by one, but one of them couldn't get up all the time. The children seem to take good care of him, or they may not see him, and they don't call him down every time they go up to play, but let him stay on it.

In the evening, when the sun went down, most of the children went home. The misfit child was still playing on the swing, sometimes somersaulting on the swing, and hanging from the tree with one hand. The technique is as smooth as that of an Olympic gold medalist. Chen Song has always been worried about his safety, and he has not been in any danger regardless of any difficult movements. When Chen Song saw that the child had such a ability, he felt that he might not be a human, but a ghost. Chen Song stared at the child a few times, and the child was still grimacing and smiling at him.

Chen Song thought that the child he saw must be a ghost, and those children who were swinging with him did not see him. Of course, this little imp is not bad, if he harms others, he only needs to break the swing while the children are swinging, and these children will have to be crippled if they are not dead. What the hell is this little ghost going to do? Chen Song heard that many people had drowned in Qinglong Pond before, including the drowned children. It is said that these drowned people usually have to find a substitute ghost in order to be reincarnated. Chen Song guessed that this little ghost swinging was the one who came to find a replacement for the dead ghost. Sure enough, the imp shouted from the tree:

"Big brother, let's play on the swing! It's so comfortable, swinging on it, it's like riding a train. ”

Chen Song pretended not to hear it, and ignored this little ghost, it was naturally not fun to have something to do with the ghost. Chen Song knew that it was not easy for his parents to attack him to study, and he understood his parents' hard work, and often helped his parents with housework. He ignored the imps in the trees and busied himself with feeding the chickens and ducks, chopping pigweed, etc. After a long time, I came out to see that the little ghost was still in the tree.

"Big brother, you've been busy for so long, you must be tired, come up and play." The imp shouted.

Chen Song pretended that he couldn't distinguish between people and ghosts, and pretended that the ghost he saw was a human, so he coaxed him like a "human" and said, "Little brother, it's so late, your parents have called you home for dinner." Go back and play again tomorrow. ”

"Well, I'll come back to you tomorrow." After the imp finished speaking, a carp rolled over, jumped down from the tree, and disappeared into the dark night.

Chen Song knew that ghosts were not easy to mess with. If he can't be provoked, he hides, and he goes to a nearby classmate the next day. The same scholar was very poor, and in the first two days, Chen Song was able to stay in the same class. But during the conversation, the parents of his classmates asked him if he had something to visit. Chen Song felt that his classmates' parents did not welcome him, but it was difficult to say it because of his face. On the third day, my classmates' parents borrowed rice from their neighbors. Chen Song felt embarrassed to stay at his classmate's house any longer, so he went home that day.

When he arrived at the door of the house, it was already evening, and Chen Song saw that there was no movement on the tree at the door of the house. Out of curiosity, he ran to look under the tree, but found no one on it. Chen Song felt relieved and was about to turn away, but saw the little ghost emerge from the branch again, jumping on the tree like a monkey.

"Big brother, why did you come back in three days, I've been waiting for you here for three days." The imp said.

Chen Song couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle, and after hiding for three days, this little ghost still wanted to pester him. Chen Song took out a biscuit from his body and gave it to the little ghost, hoping to make the little ghost leave through "bribery". Chen Song shook the biscuit, and the little ghost caught it and ate it in one bite.

After the imp ate the biscuit, he had no intention of leaving. Chen Song tried to get rid of the little ghost, but he didn't dare to offend him "blatantly", and said: "It's time to cook again, I want to clean up the pots and pans at home." So he took out the antimony pot and a spatula at home, and scraped the ashes at the bottom of the pot. A shrill voice came out, and the imp trembled when he heard it.

"Oops, I haven't scraped the ashes for a few months, and the ashes are so thick, no wonder I have to burn so much firewood to cook a meal now." Chen Song wanted to scare away the little ghost under the guise of scraping the ashes of the pot, but not to offend him and suffer revenge. He kept scraping, and the little imp gradually became unbearable, and after a while he ran away. Chen Song was very happy about his approach, and he drove away this little ghost without any effort.

The next day, the imp still came unexpectedly. Chen Song took out the antimony pot and spatula again, and the little ghost said: "Big brother, scraping the pot ash every day, it is easy to damage the pot, and it will waste a lot of money to buy a new pot." ”

Chen Song ignored it and continued to scrape, making a harsh sound that was almost unbearable for himself. Chen Song peeked at the little ghost, but the little ghost was jumping happily on the tree, and the piercing sound of scraping the pot almost had no effect on him. It turned out that the little ghost thought hard after going back yesterday, and finally came up with a way, found a cloth ball and plugged his ears, which cost this little ghost a lot of wisdom.

This trick failed again. Chen Song had to use the exorcism method given to him by Uncle Cang. When Chen Song was a child, he often fell ill with evil spirits, so Uncle Cang gave him some ways to deal with ghosts and evil spirits in case of emergency, just like keeping some cold medicine at home. Chen Song took out the incense wax money paper and burned it under the big tree, preparing to exorcise the ghost, but he still didn't want to offend the ghost on the surface, at least he didn't want the ghost to know that he was dealing with him, so he "declared" that it was to sacrifice to the land gods.

The incense wax money paper ignited, but Chen Song recited the exorcism spell given to him by Uncle Cang: "Hurry like a law......... Om Ma Mi ............ "Something." Of course, I don't know what his spell is, it's their technical secret. After reciting the incantation, Chen Song poured a bowl of rice as usual. Generally speaking, this rice is considered a bribe to the "ghosts", and I hope that the ghosts will leave quickly after eating the rice and will not come out to harm people again.

said that this little ghost was forced to leave under the effect of Chen Song's spell. Chen Song breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this exorcism technique has not yet failed. Chen Song slept beautifully at night, thinking that this little ghost might not appear again.

The next day, the children in the village came to Chen Song's house again, ready to swing and play again. Chen Song knew that there were ghosts on the swing and told the children not to play. Of course, the children didn't believe Chen Song's words, so they still sat down and played. Chen Song was guarding beside him. When it was almost evening, the imp came again on time. Of course, the little one swinging on the swing can't see it. I saw that the little ghost pushed the swing hard, and the child sitting on it swung high. These children just felt a gust of wind blowing, and the swing was swinging higher than before, and of course they didn't know that it was the imp.

Chen Songxin mentioned his throat and eyes, worried that this little ghost would hurt the children, but fortunately, this little ghost was just playing pranks there. The children were playing hard, and the imps were still playing alone on the swings. Chen Song had to consider the safety of the children, so he had to be a villain and find a stick to drive the children away from the swings.
