Chapter 4: Ask God
I deliberately bluffed Wen Zai: "Did anyone die in that kindergarten?" ”
"! Parents who have died still dare to send them there? Wen Tsai said.
The sound of Cantonese opera continued to be tactful, and he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But ......."
As soon as I heard it, this kid really got into the trap!
"I heard that there used to be a group of Tong Ling who came here to perform, because of the overnight performance, a few Tong Ling were tired to death," Wen Tsai said, "but that was before the founding of the People's Republic of China, don't you think it's a ghost singing." ”
"I'll just say it, don't think about it." I said triumphantly.
As the kindergarten got closer and closer, the sound of Cantonese opera became clearer and clearer, and the faint candlelight came from the kindergarten.
How can there be children at night?
As we walked towards the kindergarten, the singing stopped abruptly and the candlelight disappeared. I was slightly surprised, and walked over briskly with Wen Zai.
The gate of the kindergarten was closed, and it was pitch black, and it seemed that all the people in the kindergarten had left work. It is even more unlikely that there will be children. What's going on with the chanting and singing just now?
"It's evil, it's clearly coming from here, why is there no one." Wen Tsai looked inside.
"Go in and take a look, the horizontal and vertical are so big, you can't figure out if it's a human or a ghost?" I said.
The doors and walls of this kindergarten were nothing but a null for us, and it was easy to climb in. The kindergarten is not big, except for the small playground is a few small classrooms. With the street lights shining outside, you can barely get a rough look, and the surroundings are quiet.
Rustling...... There was a slight noise, and I immediately turned my head to look, and a dark shadow suddenly rushed into the corner!
"There!" I say.
Wen Tsai ran over with a cigarette.
Although my body has become stronger as an adult, I have lacked exercise over the years and my physique is not as good as that of Wen Tsai.
I hurriedly followed, and saw Wen Zai coming out of it with a little ghost head: "Little rabbit cub!" Come here for the big night and have fun! ”
"Cousin, let go, let go, it hurts, it hurts!"
It's Wen Zai's little cousin!
Several children came out one after another, as old as my little cousin, all of whom were children from urban villages.
It's been a long time, and it turns out that these little ghosts are funny here!
A group of imps came to the small playground, and one of the children took a lighter and lit half of the candle in the corner. That's what the candle flame before the co-authoring.
"It's a big night, what are you doing here, and you're still so sneaky, it won't be that you little devils don't learn!" Wen Tsai said questioningly.
The little cousin hurriedly explained, because only the small playground here has the largest open space, they climbed in to play, and just now because someone came over, afraid of being found out and scolded them, so they hid. I didn't expect it to be the two of us.
"You guys were singing just now?" I asked.
Several children's expressions changed, they looked at each other, and they didn't speak. It's clear that something is being hidden.
"Why don't you speak? Didn't you sing it? Wen Tsai questioned the little cousin.
The little cousin looked tangled, looked at the other little ghosts, and wanted to keep it a secret, but he was forced by Wen Zai's coercion and was at a loss for a while.
I bent down, lowered my voice and said, "We're not going to say it, it's a matter of absolute confidentiality." ”
The little cousin looked relieved, hesitated for a moment, and pointed to one of the children: "Yes...... It's him. ”
The child was tiger-headed, sloppy in clothes, and had two snots, so he didn't look like he could sing Cantonese opera Hua Dan.
Wen Tsai slapped his little cousin's head: "You kid won't be bluffing me, right?" ”
One of the children said, "No, it's not him who sings...... No, he's singing, but it's not him......"
"What is he is not his, is not him." Wen Tsai said unhappily.
The little cousin said: "It was just sung from his mouth, but it was not him, it was the great god in him!" ”
Great God?
Wen Tsai was about to go crazy, I stopped him and asked my little cousin, "What god?" Tell us what you're playing. ”
The little cousin looked at the other little ghosts, lowered his voice and said, "I sue you, you must keep it secret!" ”
"Certainly, absolutely confidential." I said solemnly.
The little cousin came over and said mysteriously, "We are asking God!" ”
"Nonsense, you've heard too much of your grandmother's story! And please God! Wen Zai scolded: "Even if there is really a god in this world, you should be idle and have nothing to do when the gods and Buddhas are all over the world, and come down to fool around with a few of you little ghosts!" Come here at night to light candles, and if you are seen by others, beware of being beaten! ”
Not to be outdone, the little cousin said: "It's true! Just now, it was the great god who was attached to him who was singing! If you don't believe it, we will invite it again, there is really a great god. ”
"Okay, I'll watch, if no god comes over for a while, you can go home for me."
A group of children took sticks, brooms, and some toy weapons from the corner and placed them in the middle of the playground, and took out a dragonfly from the bag, and I saw a bowl of water next to the bag, soaked in grapefruit leaves.
Looking at the ground again, it was wet, and it was caused by the deliberate sprinkling of water.
This situation is quite the same, and these rules and regulations don't seem to be imagined by these little ghosts themselves.
In order to prove his words, the little cousin scrambled to be the next person to ask God to possess him, and walked to the middle. The other children each held a dragonfly in their hands and stood in a circle around him. It's about to begin.
"How about I play with you?" I said suddenly.
A group of imps looked at me and hesitated. The little cousin said, "Yes, you can use my dragonfly." ”
I looked at Man Tsai and asked him if he wanted to be together.
He pursed his lips disdainfully: "You can come by yourself if you are still young." ”
I took out the last dragonfly from the bag, and the number of dragonflies corresponded to these imps, because there was one imp to stand in the middle as an object of invitation, so there would be only one left.
I walked into the "big army" and everything was ready. The little ghosts circled around the little cousin, and read in unison: "Lost boy, lost soul, please go down to the earth to play for a while, the eldest brother sees the cow burn incense, people are for you, you are ...... for people"
It turned out that the endorsement they heard before was the "please God mantra" they recited. The voice is neat and even, and the volume is even, and it is estimated that they are more serious than when they usually read in class.
“…… Luo Luo turned, turned dizzy, took on the ghost, took the god, please your master to play for a while, the master does not come to the apprentice, the apprentice does not come to see the official, the official comes, the official comes, the left looks, the right looks, the officials do not come, the officials do not come, the officials do not come, the master comes, the master comes, the master comes, the master comes quickly, there is revenge, there is revenge! ”
The mantra repeats itself, and the immature and neat voice echoes in the empty kindergarten.
A group of little ghosts looked serious and extremely serious, and the little cousin standing in the middle was also holding his head high and standing straight, waiting for the great god to possess him at any time.
I yawned, and said to myself that I had made a mistake and followed these little ghosts.
A cold wind blew and got goosebumps. It seems that it is really late, and the cold is getting heavier. There was a faint fog in the air. The streets become hazy under the dim street lights.
I caught a glimpse of a figure in the corner of the road, most of the body falling into the darkness, blurry and ill-intelligible.
When did this man come? Worst! If you want to see me messing around in the kindergarten with a bunch of imps, you can get me in trouble!
But the man didn't seem to mean to come, and stood there motioning.
“…… If the official does not come, the owner comes, the owner comes, the owner comes, the owner comes quickly, there is revenge, there is revenge! ”
"Lost boy, ecstasy array, please go down to the earth to play for a while, big brother watch the cow burn incense, people are for you, you are ......"
The chanting became echoy, buzzing in the brain.
The surrounding fog is getting thicker and thicker, and it is dim by the street lights, and the field of vision is narrowing little by little, like an old yellowed photo in the seventies and eighties.
The figure in that corner is gone. I don't know when he left, and the place where he was before was gradually swallowed up by the mist.
"What are you doing?" Suddenly, a voice came.
The chanting stopped abruptly, and the fog around him suddenly disappeared. I looked left and right in amazement, and everything was still the same, the streets were empty under the dim street lights, and the small playground was lit by dim candlelight, and there was no fog.
"Big Nest!" A child suddenly exclaimed.
The surrounding imps crowded to the middle, and Wen Zai's little cousin fainted on the ground, unconscious.
Wen Zai hurriedly stepped forward: "Little nest! Little nest! ”
A flashlight shone in from the gate of the kindergarten, and Uncle Wenzai's nervous voice came: "What's wrong with Xiaochao!" What happened! Wen Zai! ”
There were a few people who came with Uncle Wen Tsai, in addition to the two or three Wen Tsai's relatives who had met at the dinner table, there were also a few people with raw faces.
I hurriedly told the little ghosts to pack up their things, Wen Tsai carried his little cousin on his back, and the group climbed out of the wall.
After explaining the matter clearly, Uncle Wen Tsai reprimanded: "I ran to someone's kindergarten to play at night, this is not nonsense!" Wen Zai, you are really, such a big person, and you are still following these children! I don't know how anxious you are when you can't find it around! ”
It's hard to say anything to other people's children, and I'm an outsider, so Uncle Wen Tsai can only spill all his anger on Wen Tsai.
Xiaochao was unconscious, Uncle Man Tsai rushed to the clinic with people on his back, Man Tsai and I followed, and the other children followed their parents home.
Fortunately, the clinic was still open, and the doctor carefully examined it, except for the high body temperature, there were no other problems. It is proposed to take it back first, and if there is anything unusual, it will be sent directly to the big hospital.
Uncle Wen Tsai accused Wen Tsai again.
Back at home, Uncle Wen Tsai and Aunt Wen didn't sleep anymore, and took turns guarding the small nest, for fear that something would really happen, but fortunately, except for the sudden coma, there was nothing else abnormal, and the breathing was very stable, just like sleeping.
I was in the same room as Man Tsai, with two beds side by side.
Lying in bed, I thought that this day was over, and tomorrow would be the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's the day when my grandfather reminds me not to go out.
I fell asleep in a daze, and when I was half asleep and half awake, I heard a voice in a trance:
"One comb is blessed with longevity, and the second comb is worry-free. Three combs to keep chastity, four combs to ...... Jinlanyou"
