Chapter 6 The Jade Pendant to ward off evil spirits
Han Wei took the photo and recognized the little boy as Li Xumu from his childhood, looked at the little girl in the photo, and then at Xiaoxue, the two were very similar, thinking that these eight achievements were a group photo of the brother and sister for two hours.
The background of the photo is an arched gate, and the building behind it is antique, which is a normal group photo, but there is a half figure on the left side of the photo, and the face is not presented in the photo, judging from the dress of a man.
Han Wei observed the front and back of the photo and found nothing abnormal.
"Take a closer look at Li Xumu's neck." Xiaoxue said lightly.
Han Wei put his face on this somewhat yellowed photo, and after careful observation, he found a green jade pendant, although the photo at that time was not high, but he could vaguely see that it was a monster face carved with fangs sticking outward.
"There's a grimace on the jade pendant?" Han Wei was very puzzled, like this ordinary pendant, there is nothing strange about some things engraved, many jade pendants will be engraved with Bodhisattva, God of Wealth, etc., which are intended to keep peace and auspicious, but this pattern is really peculiar.
Xiaoxue then explained: "The grimace you are talking about is called 'Fang Xiang', it is a kind of divine beast, that is, what people often call the tomb beast, it is originally an extremely yin thing, and it is not sought after by people, but it has the purpose of suppressing ghosts and warding off evil spirits. Imagine who in a normal family would ward off evil spirits and ghosts for their children? Or is this kid inherently quirky! ”
Han Wei gasped, not because of this jade pendant, but secretly sighed that the 17-year-old girl in front of him would know so many metaphysical things, it seems that it is not groundless that Li Xumu said that Xiaoxue often studies some anecdotes at home.
Xiaoxue took back the photo from Han Wei's hand, stared at the jade pendant, and said in a trance: "For as long as I can remember, Li Xumu has been wearing this jade pendant, and there has been nothing wrong during this period. The photo was left when I was 9 years old, Li Xumu was 11 years old when I went out to play, and this jade pendant was also lost in this trip, and then there was a car accident that killed both my parents that year, the bus accident you just talked about, also after the loss of the jade pendant, and then today's black trench coat uncle was stoned to death, can't it prove the speculation that I said about the ghost upper body? ”
"Yes, I'm sorry... I don't think it's as mysterious as you say..."Han Wei was a little stupid, although it was true that as Xiaoxue said, Li Xumu never wore this jade pendant after that, but he felt that the statement of the ghost upper body was a bit too ridiculous.
Li Xumu, whom Han Wei knows, is a person with a true temperament and heavy feelings, and he has nothing to do with harming people or any ghosts. Han Wei secretly sighed in his heart, these brothers and sisters both said to each other that there was something wrong with each other.
"It seems that we are not all the way." Seeing that Han Wei didn't believe it, Xiaoxue got up and was about to leave.
"Hey! Ay! Don't go, I believe me, since you said that all this is the reason for the loss of the jade pendant, then this jade pendant was given to him by his parents? ”
Xiaoxue stopped and asked without looking back, "Do you know Li Xumu's father?" ”
This question stumped Han Wei, he only knew that Li Xumu's parents had been divorced since he was a child, and he had never seen his father, thinking that although Li Xumu and I have been good brothers for more than ten years, you don't know it as his cousin, how can I know! Could it be the man in the photo who didn't show his face and took half of the photo?
Han Wei looked around the house, and he clearly knew that this two-bedroom hut did not have any clues about Li Xumu's father, because he often came to Li Xumu's house, at least there were no photos to be found on the periphery. I have never heard Li Xumu mention his father.
Seeing that Han Wei was silent, Xiaoxue walked to the door and prepared to leave, but was immediately stopped by Han Wei.
"I don't think these things have anything to do with the jade pendant you said! Don't you think your brother has a superpower? An ability to predict death!? ”
After Han Wei said this, Xiao Xue paused for a moment, and since it was his back, Han Wei couldn't guess what Xiao Xue's expression was. Xiaoxue didn't answer, and continued to move forward, opened the security door, and prepared to leave.
Han Wei saw that he really couldn't keep it, so he changed the topic: "Hey, we've been chatting for so long, I'm very happy, let's leave a contact information!" In the future, you can continue academic exchanges when you are free! Look at my brother, I was admitted to Yungang University! Han Wei took out the admission letter and shook it proudly in the air.
Xiao Xue glanced back at the red admission letter printed with Yungang University in her hand, hesitated for a few seconds, the corners of her mouth seemed to be smiling, and then turned around and took the security door and left.
Sure enough, what Li Xumu said was right, what a strange person... Han Wei didn't catch up, and sat on the sofa, thinking about everything Xiaoxue said just now.
The sky in Yungang City was shrouded in clouds. In June, the weather was unpredictable, the cool breeze was blowing, the poplars on the side of the road were swaying, and a hawker selling twist flowers loaded the last big bucket onto the tricycle, looked up at the rolling thunder in the sky, opened his palm and tried it in the air a few times, and then anxiously pedaled on the three wheels. At an uphill point, the chain suddenly clicked off, and the tricycle suddenly began to slide downhill due to gravity, and before the speed could be accelerated, it was resisted by a force, and the vendor immediately got out of the car to check, and found that it was a young and handsome teenager who resisted the tricycle.
The peddler hurriedly thanked him, and the young man replied with a few worried words and continued to move forward.
This teenager is none other than Li Xumu who went to his girlfriend Zhao Yunuo's house. The scene just now was seen by a nun wearing a yellow monk's robe next to her, and then the nun caught up with Li Xumu in a few big strides.
"This benefactor, you have a good heart and have a fate with my Buddha, so it is better to invite the Bodhisattva home to ensure the safety of your life." As she spoke, the nun took out a card with Guanyin printed on it from her bosom and held it in the palm of her hand, with the words on both sides of the card reading, "Everyone is Buddha-natured, safe and disease-free." ”
Li Xumu took the card, folded his hands briefly to show his gratitude, glanced at the time of the mobile phone, and was about to leave, the nun stood in front of Li Xumu again and said: "My Buddha keeps you safe, give more and see less of your sincerity." ”
Li Xumu suddenly realized, so he handed the card back to the nun, said a few words of thank you in his mouth, and walked forward without looking back.
When I was with Zhao Yunuo, whenever the date was late, Li Xumu would send Zhao Yunuo to the downstairs of her community, so I knew the route by heart, but because I was in high school, this was an age of early love for parents, so I only sent it downstairs and never entered the house.
At this time, Li Xumu had already walked to the door of the unit, and he looked up at the 8th floor where Zhao Yunuo's family lived. The clouds were almost pressing down on the rooftops, the thunder rolled in the clouds, and the downpour seemed to break with a single stab.
