At that time, she was only five years old, she was still a child, and there was a severe famine that year, many people were starved to death without enough to eat, some of them couldn't stand it, and some of the whole family hanged themselves.

The family next door to their family just couldn't stand the hunger and the whole family hanged themselves, she was still very young at the time, and she was not sensible, looking at a room full of people hanging on the beams of the house and asking her mother, "Mother, why did they all hang themselves?"

Her mother told her, "If they tighten their mouths, they won't be hungry." ”

She didn't understand at the time, and asked her mother, "Mother, can that tighten my mouth?" I'm so hungry. ”

The mother scolded angrily, "What nonsense do children say, and my mother will cook you some rice soup to drink later, and you won't be hungry." ”

Bai Ling knew that the so-called rice soup was full of water, and there were few rice, she remembered that Xiaohu usually played with herself, Xiaohu was the baby of this hanged person, she found that there was no Xiaohu in these hanging people, so she asked her mother, "Mother, Xiaohu is gone." ”

At this time, watching the lively crowd, I realized that the usually lively and cheerful little tiger was really not among the people who hanged himself, and everyone was very surprised.

If the whole family hanged themselves, how could they leave only the children, and if they were killed by someone, then at this time, what is the point of killing the family? Isn't everyone going to starve to death sooner or later? Besides, they are all hungry like this, where do they still have the strength to harm others.

Some enthusiastic villagers suggested that it would be better to look for it, saying, "Xiaohu, this kid is tiger-brained, and he is quite likeable, if he dies, let the family die together." ”

The folks in this township usually have a good relationship, even if there is a famine, they will help each other and support each other to tide over the difficulties together, so the people who simply have the strength are looking around.

After looking around for a long time, I heard someone shouting, "Hey, I've found Xiaohu, come and have a look." ”

The people nearby immediately surrounded him, and the sharp-eyed people found that this little tiger had an abnormal demeanor, usually the little tiger was alive and jumping, naughty and cute, but now the little tiger has dull eyes, pale face, and sat motionless, just like a corpse.

The old man in the village who had seen the world took his pulse, sniffed again, and then began to pinch the middle of the person and the tiger's mouth, but the little tiger was still motionless and did not improve.

The old man sighed and said, "This is a lost soul." ”

There is no way, I can only try to shout the soul, the person who shouts the soul must be Xiaohu's closest person, but now that Xiaohu's family is dead, where can I find someone to shout?

At this time, someone suggested that Bailing usually plays well with Xiaohu, so it is better to give it a try.

Bailing Niang usually likes Xiaohu, so she didn't refuse this thing.

The person who shouts the soul wears linen clothes, holds the underwear of the little tiger in one hand, and holds an oil lamp in the other, this lamp must be lit for a hundred nights, and the oil is added a hundred times, this lamp is called the soul-attracting lamp, the soul-attracting lamp must not be extinguished during the soul-shouting period, and the soul can never be found again, and the person who shouts the soul also has a way when shouting the soul, three steps and one shout, and must not turn back, turn back, this person will be entangled by other ghosts, the light is seriously ill, and the serious is dead.

After Bai Ling's mother explained again and again, Bai Ling nodded, she knew that this was not the time to play around, so she obediently did so.

In this way, in the middle of the night, Bailing began to shout the soul, and she shouted according to the three steps given by the adult, "Che Zihu come back quickly, don't stay, the soul will come with me." ”
