Chapter 288: The Wall Ghost

On the fourth day, we couldn't wait any longer, Xu Jingshan sealed dozens of oceans with red cloth to us, and then found Xu Er's carriage and sent us home, in such weather, the carriage was much stronger than Xu Jingshan's Iron King Ba, on the muddy road, Iron King Ba was simply difficult to walk, we took Elvis Presley Rhubarb, and its cat guards, together with the Black Wind Ditch, rhubarb this lazy thing, we don't send it back, it will definitely not go back by itself.

Although it is difficult to walk on the road, Xu Er's horse is strong, and the car has not fallen into the mud along the way, we didn't encounter anything along the way, so we arrived at the Black Wind Valley, and as soon as we arrived at the Black Wind Valley, people greeted us, especially Zhong Dabiao took the lead in running over, he deserved to be a soldier, and it seemed that his body was recovering well, behind him, followed by a few young people with guns on their backs, these young people, one by one, were tall and big, needless to say that these were those Zhuang soldiers trained by Zhong Dabiao.

We talked about talking, and the other people in the village also came out, at this time Yang San came over to say hello to me, held Elvis Presley in his arms, and walked towards Elvis Temple, and Song Borui pulled us to his house to drink, as for Xu Er, Song Borui let Song Borui two pieces of ocean, happily sent away.

We drank in Song's house until the afternoon, then sent us back, to the halfway can not walk, because the bridge in front of us was washed away by the flood, we had to turn the road and walk home, when we arrived at the village, it was already dark, the people on the village slept early, and were reluctant to boil oil, so the village is pitch black, looking at it from afar, only one yard is brightly lit, that family seems to protect the country, we look at the heart a little strange, protect the country What is wrong?

Baoguo has three brothers, his nickname is Fool, the second brother is called Ersil, the third brother is called Sansil, when we were learning art, the second fool was still young, and now the second fool has grown into a young man of fifteen or sixteen, as for the three fools were born later, at that time unlike now, there is no family planning, you can give birth at will, there is a strange phenomenon in the countryside, that is, the son is younger than the grandson, and it is not strange that Baoguo has a little brother.

As soon as we saw that the lights were on, we did not go back to the Three Treasures, but walked towards the Baoguo, and at the mouth of the Hutong of the Baoguo, there was a person walking around, because the mouth of the Hutong was dark, I did not see the face of that person clearly, I only saw a pale face in the dark. As soon as the man saw us coming, he quickly avoided the wall, his face facing the wall and his back to us. This walled ghost was one of the most common ghosts seen at that time.

There are several kinds of wall ghosts, one of which is because the tomb has been submerged for a long time, and then the wall is built on it, and the ghost qi of the wall and the tomb are connected together, then there may be wall ghosts on the wall, this kind of wall ghost can generally only move in the wall, if someone stands with his back to the wall, it will appear behind you, and then reach out and pinch your neck, or sneer behind your head gloomily.

The other is the meaning of avoidance, because the ghost belongs to the yin, the person belongs to the yang, the ghost avoids the yang people, at this time, they tend to avoid the root of the wall, under normal circumstances, people do not offend me, I do not offend, you go directly to the past is fine, if you are curious, want to see who the wall is, as for what to see, then you can only ask for more blessings.

We are now three people, so we are naturally not afraid of any ghosts, and at this time Baoguo shouted: "Who? Speak? Who are you scaring by hiding on the wall in the dark? ”

The black shadow was just facing the wall, and did not answer our words, and I heard that the black shadow was still dripping with water, and then Baoguo felt a stone from the ground and said, "If you don't speak, I will smash your brother-in-law." ”

When the black shadow heard this, he hurriedly said, "Brother, brother is me, two fools." ”

Baoguo threw down the stone in his hand and said, "Second fool, why are you not going home here?" ”

The second fool said, "Brother, I don't dare to go home." ”

Baoguo said: "You kid must be in trouble." ”

The second fool hurriedly said: "Brother, we went to the blood diet ditch to catch blood food in the afternoon, I didn't go home, our father and mother are looking for me." ”

It's good that Baoguo didn't listen to this, and when he heard that the second fool went to the blood food ditch to catch the blood food, he yelled at the time: "Xiao Er, you can't find death?" ”

The blood diet that the two fools said is called eel, also known as yellow eel, and it is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that the blood diet has the effects of blood replenishment, anti-inflammatory, disinfection, and de-rheumatism. The flesh, blood, head and skin of the yellow eel all have medicinal value. There are also many home remedies for yellow eel in the folk, drinking the blood of the blood eel can nourish yin and aphrodisiac, and the mouth and eyes of the stroke can be tilted and the blood eel can be placed on the human face to crawl, so that the mouth and eyes can be straightened.

For such a good thing as blood food, everyone will naturally covet its deliciousness, at that time it was not difficult to catch blood food, there were ditches everywhere, as long as there was water, you can find blood food holes, it often spits out a cloud of white foam at the mouth of the hole. With care, it's easy to find another back door nearby that doesn't foam. The next step is to catch the eel.

There are three ways to catch blood food: one is to "win by surprise", the second is to "lead the snake out of the hole", and the third is to "never tire of deceit". After finding the two holes, immediately block the front and back doors with both hands, and quickly dig down the hole to the middle, and you can pull out the blood eel with a surprising victory.

A hook made of a steel needle and a hemp rope were worn, and as soon as the hook with the bait was put into the hole, its black head popped out. You shake the hook and tease it, and its head grows longer and longer, and when it opens its mouth and bites the hook, and pulls it hard, it comes out of the hole. Even if it is fooled a few times, it will still be greedy for bait.

Blood eels are hungry, especially female eels that have just given birth to calves and are lacking nutrients. Therefore, it will not miss a single opportunity to send it to the door. You wrap your index finger in a cloth and put some vegetable oil on it, stick it into the hole, and almost at the same time, it bites your index finger and you can easily grab it.

However, you should be careful when catching a blood eel, it is very slippery, and as soon as it comes out of the water, you have to quickly pinch it with your index and middle fingers to avoid escaping and returning to the field to do evil. Thread the captured eels through their gills with a twig and let them lie quietly in the sun, reflecting on why they were captured.

Originally, catching the blood diet was the work of the children at that time, and it was no big deal, but the blood diet ditch was not a good place, where there was a temple in the middle of the year and month, enshrined a statue like a snake, obviously offering a blood diet, but it was called the Arowana Temple, there was a well behind the temple, which led directly to the blood diet ditch, and there was a blood diet essence living in the blood diet well. That blood essence is also the master of the Arowana Temple.

People who have seen it say that the blood diet essence is as thick as a small bucket, the eyes are blood-red, there is a mouthful of fangs, likes to drag people underwater, is good at illusion, can call the wind and rain, the most stingy, especially able to retaliate, there were also people who touched the blood diet before, and later drowned a few people in the blood diet ditch, everyone said that those people ate the descendants of the blood diet essence, and the blood diet essence pulled those people into the water, and the drowned people not only could not get it up, but the blood diet essence also attracted wind and rain, and a heavy rain punished at noon every day. When it rains, the blood essence takes water vapor and rises into the air like a dragon, and after the rain, it returns to the well.

Although everyone hates this blood food essence, but there is nothing they can do about it, and they have to burn incense to worship, so as soon as the two fools say that they will go to the blood diet ditch to touch the blood food, Baoguo will roll up their sleeves and beat the two fools, but I didn't expect the two fools to cry and say: "Brother, you can't beat me anymore." ”

Baoguo said: "What is your kid's ability? If you reach a hundred, I'll still be your brother, and I'll beat you up like that. ”

At this time, I felt that something was wrong with the two fools, so I quickly took out the foreign fire, wiped one, and the foreign fire illuminated the surroundings, I took advantage of the firelight to take a look, and saw that the two fools were wet, as if they had just been fished out of the water, and there were moss on their heads, and their faces were pale and terrible, and their eyes were like two black holes, without a trace of reflection, and they looked very strange, a bit like water ghosts.

I was thinking, the root of the fire burned my hand, I quickly threw it away, and when I was about to wipe the second root, there was a cry on the street, there were many people holding torches towards us, I listened to the cry is very familiar, quickly turned my head to look, only to see a lot of people holding torches, walking towards here, I listened carefully, the cry seemed to be shouting two fools.
