Chapter 12: Borrowing Yin and Yang, Straw Man

Seeing this, I still felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, but I was relieved to think that I could avoid it.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we saw two people, a man and a woman, wearing shabby robes and holding dust in their hands, standing in the center of the village, with serious expressions on their faces.

The village chief was next to them and was very hospitable.

Shen Yu tried hard to push through the crowd and squeezed me in, and heard the village chief say loudly: "Fellow villagers, there have been some strange things in our village recently, and these are the two masters I invited from the Taoist temple to help us." ”

"Are there any women in the Taoist temple?" I tilted my head and looked at Shen Yu curiously.

Shen Yu's eyes were fixed on the two people, and he held my hand, and suddenly clenched.

Before the village chief could say anything, at this time, two people suddenly appeared behind me and held me down.

In the face of such a change, I didn't react at all, and when I saw it clearly, I wanted to struggle, but it was useless: "What are you doing!" ”

"Let her go!" Shen Yu was also forcibly separated by me, and two of the big men directly grabbed Shen Yu's hands.

I was taken away by two people, and I could only see the green veins on his forehead through the peripheral vision.

When I saw another person, when I was about to hit Shen Yu, Shen Yu turned around and dodged directly, and grabbed it directly with his hand, the person who grabbed me held back his anger: "I said, let her go." ”

These two people are relatively strong in the village, and they are usually people who do farm work, at this moment, Shen Yu, who is a teenager, is still suppressed by the rules of the Daomen, but he was caught by Shen Yu and shouted directly.

"Don't worry!" The village chief's inverted triangular eyes rolled, and he immediately knew that Shen Yu was not an ordinary law, and immediately shouted: "Just now, the two masters said that if you want to send her mother away in July, you must use July to attract her mother, only in this way, the two masters will protect us." ”

Shen Yu's face sank, and he immediately said: "July's mother, she is no longer a living person, and it is not something you can deal with." ”

"Presumptuous, this is the business of our own people in our village, what does it matter to you." The village immediately blew his beard angrily and glared angrily.

"You people have nothing to do with me, but whoever dares to touch July, I will destroy their nine clans." Shen Yu, who has always been gentle as spring, started a fire, which made people feel inexplicably afraid.

"You ......"

The village was angry, and the body was like a sieve, and the strong men in the village immediately surrounded Shen Yu.

Even so, Shen Yu didn't have a trace of fear, looked at the village with burning eyes, and sneered: "Let it go, July." ”

"Both of them turned off the fire, presumably this young man still doesn't know, in fact, there is a way to attract souls and send ghosts in our Daomen, if you don't let July attract her mother, it's better for us to replace it with something else." At that moment, one of the women spoke.

When the words fell, the man next to me had already tied up a scarecrow with a note on it with my name written on it.

At this time, the village chief also came out with a smile to play a round game: "You young man, you are all young and vigorous, and we people here don't understand anything, but we know how to write the word unity." ”

The meaning of the village chief's words was to threaten Shen Yu, and the obvious person told him that even if you are powerful, there are many of us, and one person will drown you with a mouthful of foam.

Shen Yu didn't say anything, but looked at me, and finally reluctantly compromised and said, "July, don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

"Yes."

Hearing this, I nodded, and the two people above my shoulders let go.

Then the woman said, "In the middle of the night, we will send this scarecrow to the back mountain, and we need two boys to guard the way, so that July's soul will not be taken away by her mother." ”

As soon as they heard these two people's words, the people in the village stopped talking.

Because no one wants to give away their children, everyone holds their children and refuses to let go.

At this time, the village chief immediately said: "In this way, if anyone is willing to do good deeds, they will be rewarded with a piece of land!" ”

For those of them who depend on the sky for food, the land is a greater temptation than money.

Sure enough, after a while, two people pushed their children next to the village chief, and the two of them chose two of them, both of whom were about the same size as me.

When it was ready, the village chief told everyone to disperse, leaving me and the pair of children behind.

Before leaving, Shen Yu said to me: "July, you remember, no matter what happens, I am here, and you must not let them draw ......... on the scarecrow's body."

I nodded obediently, but before I finished speaking, Shen Yu was vigorously arrested.

I don't know why, what Shen Yu wants to explain to me.

At this time, the woman took out two lollipops from her arms, saying that they were rewarding the two children, and I didn't think it was anything, but the strange thing was that the candy was black.

Before I could react, there were two incense burners in front of me, and six incense sticks were lit inside the incense burners.

There is a way to burn incense, which is generally one, three, six, and nine......

Puff ......

The two of them bowed down to me: "Our brother and sister, today again with the help of yin and yang, the ancestor blesses." ”

A gust of wind blew, I couldn't hear very clearly, what the two of them were talking about, and it didn't take long for me to find that the woman lifted her blouse, revealing her upper body, and the man next to her immediately took out a knife and made a big hole in her body.

When he was done, the man actually began to eat the blood on the knife.

The more I looked, the more I felt my scalp tingle, and I watched the man's white and tender hands like a woman, constantly cutting wounds on the woman's body, and the strange thing was that the woman seemed to not know the pain.

He was very skillful, and in just a moment, he made the scarecrow about the size of me, and even a little lifelike.

Strangely, the two of them didn't paint my mother's eyes, which had inherited my mother's charm.

One of the children eating candy asked, "You can't draw well, you don't have eyes." ”

Oh my god!

I looked at the scarecrow in front of me and felt panicked.

The woman rudely pulled my hair and placed it on the scarecrow's body, and when I had done this, I noticed that the woman then took out a shabby garment, and to my bewilderment, she put my hair and the shabby garment together, and then pricked my fingers.

After I finished doing it, I saw the man kneeling in front of me again, chanting words: "Tsing Yi Bai sends people and ghosts, it is difficult to draw people with skin and bones, Qingsi has nowhere to hide from relatives, and he can't return quickly!" ”

The man's voice was startled, and I couldn't understand what it meant.

At this time, he suddenly put the pen in his hand still in my hand and roared: "Hurry up and draw your facial features, hurry up!" ”

His roar was not only me, but even the two men were scared to tears.

"If you want to surpass your mother, you have to listen to me."

I looked at her with great resistance in my heart, and he didn't say anything else, but said very calmly.

I thought of my mother, and my heart softened, so I picked up a brush and drew my facial features.

At this time, I was still in a state of confusion, and when my blood fell to it, my clothes and my hair were burned clean.

The scarecrow can't speak, but from a certain aspect, I see that this scarecrow is like a living person.

I looked at it creepy.

It was at this time that the scarecrow actually winked at me with a "mischievous" wink, and even had a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yes!

I immediately screamed in fright, and kept saying, "That scarecrow is alive?" ”

Who knows, the woman shook her head and said, "Look stupid, it's impossible for a scarecrow to live." ”

I took a closer look, and the scarecrow really didn't have any expression, could it be that I was wrong just now?

At this time, the two men then took out a lot of candy and gave it to the two children, telling them to hurry home.

The two children happily walked towards their home.

I just went out, but I didn't see Shen Yu.

At this moment, the woman explained, "Okay, we'll take care of the rest." ”

"That's the two masters of Lao." After the village chief finished speaking, he immediately went back with the villagers.

At this moment, it was as if I saw the woman making a very strange gesture.

I just wanted to leave, but I saw that the straw beater just now was walking forward, although he was very dull, but he was indeed walking.

"July, don't be afraid, follow the scarecrow and leave, you will be able to attract your mother out." The woman saw that I was scared and immediately explained to me.

I was so frightened that the two of them followed me behind the scarecrow.

But as soon as I started walking, I felt that my body didn't have any strength, like a patient with a bad cold.

I don't know why, the two of them don't look like they're looking for my mother.

I felt more and more unable to hold on, helpless, I could only keep biting the tip of my tongue, let myself try to maintain a conscious state, the more I walked, the more I felt that my body seemed to be fluttering, as if it was going to fall down anytime and anywhere.
