Chapter 15 Doubt

"I might be sleepwalking!" I touched my head and said with a smile.

My mother smiled wryly at me. Actually, I heard from my mother that when I was three years old, I had a habit of sleepwalking, and I often got up in the middle of the night to sweep the floor with my broom. My mother thought I was sick and took me to the hospital for a long day of examination, from ophthalmology to orthopedics, and from internal medicine to surgery. The doctors all came to the same conclusion, the child was healthy and in great health.

Later, a Taoist priest from the village came. In our village, I was cured of many incurable diseases, and my mother asked him to come to the house to see what was going on with me.

When the Taoist priest saw me, he said that I was disturbed by the memories of my previous life, and as long as I sealed the memories, I would be fine. Then the Taoist priest recited some incantations to me and let me pass a brazier. After that, I never sleepwalked again.

I thought I was sleepwalking, but when I saw the dust on my fingers, I knew it wasn't. But how did I get home? Isn't it supposed to be in the back mountains?

I remembered that when I saw that snow-white tail, the back of my head hurt, as if I had been knocked unconscious. Could it be Uncle An Hua? I think it must be this person, and it must be him who went to the back mountain, because he was there yesterday afternoon. I went to the back mountain again early this morning, and when I saw that I found something, I was knocked unconscious. However, what I found was not a baby, but a snow-white tail. This doesn't seem to be a good reason! I'm not quite convinced either.

However, I still have to go find Uncle An Hua. After all, he was the only one who dared to go to the back mountain.

When he arrived at Uncle Anhua's house, he was sharpening a sickle in the yard. It seemed that no one could disturb him, including me, who had entered the courtyard of his house and had not yet found me.

"Uncle, you want to go to the field?" I said with a smile.

Uncle An Hua held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Well, when did you come?" ”

"I just came in."

"Are you asking me something?" He said to me as he sharpened his scythe.

I smiled and said, "What kind of treasure is there in the tower that suppresses the cat demon in the back mountain?" ”

Uncle An Hua stopped the sickle in his hand, looked stunned, and said, "What baby?" I don't seem to understand what you mean! ”

"Maybe you forgot a lot of things, let me help you recall, yesterday afternoon, you rummaged through the rubble."

Uncle An Hua smiled, sharpened the sickle again, and said, "Have you seen my grinding stone?" ”

I nodded and said, "See, what's wrong?" Is the millstone a treasure? ”

"Of course it's a treasure, and it's easy to sharpen the sickle and work in the field."

"Does it have anything to do with you looking for something?"

"That's what I'm looking for in the rocks! Didn't you see that it was very new? ”

I stared at the millstone with suspicion, it was very new, the opening was fresh, and the stone with the horizontal line was still so angular. Am I wrong, Uncle An Hua is looking for a good grinding stone.

"Then why are you burning incense and worshipping again?" I don't know what to say, I can only say whatever I can remember, and I want him to have nothing to say.

"Don't you know that I'm Mr. Yin and Yang? Isn't it okay to worship the gods of the land in all directions before doing things? How did you learn from Lao Maocheng, I don't know this! Uncle An Hua was a little angry.

I was unconvinced and said: "Do you still need to worship when digging a stone pile?" ”

"Is the ploughing pile ground-breaking? Didn't your master tell you that the reason for breaking the ground was to worship the gods? ”

I have heard my master tell me that if you want to break ground, you have to pick a good day, worship the land in all directions on the day of the groundbreaking, and then you have to choose a good day and hold a thanksgiving ceremony after the project is completed. This is done only so that the gods can bless people and complete a project in peace.

I have nothing to say and nothing to justify. It's just that I'm too young, young and frivolous in my heart.

"Did anyone say anything bad about me to you?" Uncle An Hua asked.

I smiled awkwardly and said, "No, absolutely not." "Can I sell my master? That's impossible. My master will always be my master, and even though he has now become a ghost, I still recognize him.

"Then why did you come to me today and tell me this?" Uncle An Hua asked.

I thought for a while and said, "Actually, this is what I saw in our City God's merit book. ”

"What do you see?"

"Above, it is written that Jihai year, Ding Mao month, Ji Youri, Huang Xiaosan, a native of Lao Ye Miao Village, heard that there was a monster in the mountain behind the village that was suppressed by a treasure under the stone tower, and then he had a bad heart, destroyed the tower and stole the treasure, and the nine-tailed cat took its half yang and fled."

"Is the little ghost who wrote this merit book Yang Huolin from Yangjiazhuang in the neighboring village?" Uncle An Hua said angrily.

How can I know this, and I can't say that my master told me! I nodded and didn't speak, acquiescing.

"This old man Yang is not as good as my father, he thought of ways to harm my father every day before his death, and after his death, I heard that this person became a local underworld official, and he specially recorded merits for the living, this old man Yang must not have any good intentions for my father, and made up some bad things to harm my father." Uncle An Hua said.

After listening to Uncle An Hua's words, I seemed to understand something. What is in that merit book is not necessarily true. But who was the man who knocked me unconscious? I always thought it was Uncle Anhua, but now it doesn't seem to be.

"By the way, why didn't I see you take this millstone when I left yesterday?" I asked with a smile.

Uncle An Hua said: "I chatted with you all afternoon yesterday, it's dark, how can I have time to look for it again!" I just found it at noon today, and you see that the hole in this stone is still very fresh. As he spoke, he showed me the stones.

After listening to Uncle An Hua's words, I felt that things were really like this. I guess I blamed him. However, now I can no longer greet Uncle An Hua. Tomorrow is the ninth day of the last corpse case, and it means that one more person will die, and what I do is to prevent this from happening.

I rode my bike straight into town that day. I was in the city and lived at Master's house, which repaired electrical appliances, and after meeting Master. He asked me what I've been doing these days. Did you consolidate the knowledge he taught me? Where can I say that there has been no consolidation in the past few days, and where can I say that I have gone to watch "The Secret Art of Yin and Yang" in the past few days, and I also learned the story of the Nine Lives Cat Demon. I can only tell a small lie, saying that although I have been playing at home for the past few days, none of the things that Master has given me have been left behind. I still have to study hard with Master and strive to get my salary as soon as possible!
