Chapter 0021: The Living Dead!
I bought some gifts, took the car to Lin Jiuxiang's village, everything around basically unchanged, pushed open Lin Jiuxiang's door, the dog in the yard quarreled, the godmother came out, shouted: "Who?" ”
"I, Wan Qing!"
"Oh, Wan Qing, are you on vacation?" My godmother looked at me with a look of surprise and beckoned, "Hurry up and go into the house on the kang, it's cold outside." ”
I stepped in, put my things on the ground, and my godmother said, "You said you kid, come on, buy something, you have to spend money to go to school." ”
Lin Jiuxiang's voice sounded in the room, and he was weak: "Wan Qing is here?" ”
I stepped into the back room, and saw Lin Jiuxiang on the kang startled, his face was full of fatigue, there were not a few hairs on his bald head, and he was already a lot whiter, in just half a year, he seemed to be ten years old.
"How did this happen?" I stared at him with wide eyes, a little incredulous, "What's the big problem?" ”
He waved his hand at me and said: "Sit on the kang, I took over a tricky thing a few months ago, I was injured, it's good to not die, I can't hide from this catastrophe, if you are, maybe that ghost won't be able to do anything to me." ”
I looked at him, my heart was a little sour, what a powerful ghost, I know his ability, I am just a little follower behind him, and I can't help much.
But he didn't talk about it, just asked me about some things in school, he didn't know anything about modern networks, but he still wanted to ask about computers.
I didn't study anything, so I couldn't tell him, I went for half a semester and watched all the films.
"You two sit, I'll go grocery shopping, and I'll eat here at night." My godmother said to me with a happy face: "Wan Qing, you stay a few more days." ”
I tried to tell her not to be busy, but she was already out.
In the afternoon, Lin Jiuxiang explained to me some of the charms in the "Five Books of Yin and Yang", especially some things such as the practice of opening the altar, raising flags to summon spirits, and sealing ghosts in yin and yang.
I don't know why, but I always had the illusion that he was arranging the aftermath for himself.
In winter, it gets dark early, at five o'clock, it's already dark outside, the village eats early, the table is already full of food, I am eating and talking about some things in school, and I am also quietly testing Lin Jiuxiang, what he has encountered.
The godmother sighed and said, "White-haired ghost! ”
White-haired ghost? What is it?
Before I could ask, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside the yard, and the dog in the yard began to bark wildly, and the godmother went out to open the door, and a man in his forties rushed in and asked, "Is Mr. Lin there?" ”
Looking at his panicked look, I knew something was wrong.
This person entered the house, and the cold air on his body suddenly lowered the temperature of the room by a few degrees, and he looked at Lin Jiuxiang with wide eyes; "Mr. Lin, my father is back and doesn't want to go."
"Can't you send away the soul?" I looked at him and wondered, "Can't lift the coffin?" ”
"No, it's someone else's back." The man's face was ugly, I don't know if it was cold or urgent, it turned purple.
I was a little confused and wondered, "Come back, come back, what?" Your dad fights with your mom? Don't let your dad come home? ”
Lin Jiuxiang and my godmother were also confused.
"No, he came home suddenly." The man said with horror on his face: "But he is obviously dead, but he is like a living person, he has a body temperature, and he remembers everything." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought that people have a state called suspended animation, the heart stops beating, but the brain is not dead, and it is not surprising that the old man goes home on the day of the funeral.
But the next moment the man's words made us dumbfounded.
"He died in the summer, and he's been dead for six months!!"
The house suddenly quieted down, I even felt the cold wind blowing in outside the house, making people feel cold, this person's name is Zhang Zhigui, he is from the suburbs of the county, his father's name is Zhang Fugui, he died in the summer, and then handled the funeral, everything is normal, but last night, the old man suddenly went home.
frightened everyone, thinking that someone looked like him and came to have fun, but as a result, it was Zhang Fugui himself, who remembered the past clearly, although they felt infiltrated, but he was also his father.
The old lady also had a companion, but in just two days, the originally healthy old lady was no longer good, so she felt that something was wrong, so she asked Lin Jiuxiang and ran over.
Zhang Zhigui looked at Lin Jiuxiang and begged: "You can go, I beg you, my mother is in very good health, and suddenly she can't do it, and the younger brother and sister who originally came back for reunion have all run away, and they all say that the old man is a ghost and has come to ask for his life." ”
The matter is urgent, and this kind of thing has never been encountered, Lin Jiuxiang has become like this, I hurriedly got off the kang and said, "I'll go with you to take a look." ”
He looked at me, his eyes were full of disbelief, I was just a hairy kid, what do you know?
"I'll go for it!" Lin Jiuxiang drank all the wine on the table and said to me, "Take something!" ”
The godmother looked at him full of worry and said, "Why don't you do it tomorrow?" Go again at dawn, anyway, it's not a ghost, and it doesn't hurt anyone. ”
Lin Jiuxiang waved his hand and didn't speak, put on his shoes and felt a lot more energetic, and said in a deep voice: "Lao Tzu has been mixed all his life, what kind of dead person has never been seen, even if he goes to the underworld, when Lord Yama sees it, he has to hand over a cigarette and call Mr. Lin." ”
I watched him brag back and feel a lot better.
Carrying the package, put it in the van, and followed Zhang Zhigui all the way into the suburbs, the current suburbs are all villages, and many years later began to build high-rise buildings, this village is called Liu Zhuang.
Zhang Zhigui opened the courtyard door, the courtyard was brightly lit, I glanced at it, didn't notice the yin qi, and walked into the house.
"Dad, I'm back." Zhang Zhigui shouted and entered the house.
We followed in, there was an old man in his sixties sitting on the kang, very energetic, there were dumplings and wine glasses on the table, the old man smiled at us, a smile appeared on his face, and asked Zhang Zhigui, "Where is this guest?" ”
"Friends... Friend. Zhang Zhigui said a little uneasy.
I looked at the old man, who was more energetic than me, and his body was very large, even if it was a fight, I might not be able to beat others, and said, "Let's pass by, have a meal at your place, don't you mind?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, hurry up and get on the kang." The old man was very welcoming.
Lin Jiuxiang was not polite, he slipped his shoes directly on the kang, but quietly stuffed me with a few pieces of rune paper in his hand, Zhang Zhigui brought a few plates of dumplings, and it was the New Year soon, everyone has this thing, eating and drinking.
"Brother, is it hard down there?" Lin Jiuxiang suddenly asked.
I was keenly aware that when he heard the following two words, he looked stunned for a moment, and the next moment he said, "What is underneath?" ”
"My godfather used to go down to the coal kiln in Datong, and his mouth was below him." I smiled and said, "Come on, come on, drink!" ”
Eating and drinking, Lin Jiuxiang blocked me with his arm, I quietly opened my eyes, stared at the old man, there was no problem at all, there was a big living person in front of me, and I tried again, and scattered a few pieces of rune paper from under the table on his legs, but there was still no response.
The old man drank a good amount of wine, one cup after another, Zhang Zhigui's expression had begun to become anxious, and Lin Jiuxiang and I were also a little puzzled, this situation had never been encountered.
After eating, Zhang Zhigui turned on the TV to show the old man, we got off the kang, Lin Jiuxiang whispered: "Where is your mother?" ”
"That room!" Zhang Zhigui said and walked us towards the next room.
When I opened the room, a yin qi came from the surface, and the stove was very warm, but the old lady's face was full of yin qi, and she looked like a ghost, lying on the kang covered with a quilt, as if she was a little delirious, and smiled at us.
Lin Jiuxiang took out a few pieces of rune paper and pasted them towards the old lady's Tianling Gai, but there was no reaction at all, but I could see that the old lady's life was being taken away.
"Wan Qing, go out and get candles, red threads, copper coins, and bells." After Lin Jiuxiang finished speaking, I turned around and was about to go out, but he suddenly ordered: "Don't disturb the old man." ”
I nodded and went out, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw the old man standing in the doorway, staring at me with wide eyes, and those eyes flashed in the darkness, like a hungry wolf looking at food, which was terrifying.
I felt the hairs on my back stand up, and my face was stiff, but I still forcibly suppressed my fear, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you don't watch TV anymore?" ”
"What are you doing?"
"We.... We're going to see your wife. I hurriedly said, "My godfather is a barefoot doctor who knows some home remedies, so you can just sit there and watch TV." ”
"I'll check it out too!"
"Don't, don't!" I hurriedly stopped and said, "This is a home remedy, you can't watch it, an exclusive secret recipe, you go back to watch TV, eat, you're welcome, we're busy." ”
"Oooh!" He nodded and walked into the room.
In less than two minutes of conversation, I felt sweaty all over my body, and I walked out the door with a sigh of relief, brought things in, and saw the old man watching TV, I closed the door and started to do it!
The old lady's three souls and seven souls are unstable, to be precise, they have been eroded, and if she continues like this, she is afraid that her soul will be scattered, the copper coins will be at the bottom, the candles will shine high, and the red line will draw the soul, and a simple soul-stabilizing array will be completed.
I stood there and watched the old lady slowly return to peace, which was a little relieved, but this life was robbed, how could it be so familiar?
The next moment I thought of the man who raised Qian Jiajia, he was completely eaten away, his life was robbed, and now it is this scene again, the whole person is stupid!
Lin Jiuxiang breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Don't let your father in, it's hard to talk about this matter, I'll talk about it at dawn." ”
Zhang Zhigui thanked him a thousand times, we walked towards the door, just outside the door, the old man chased out, and said with a concerned face: "Are you leaving?" ”
"yes!" Lin Jiuxiang smiled and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, or you can stay here tonight, and there is a place to sleep." As he spoke, the old man stared at us with a gleam in his eyes, and swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, as if he had not eaten enough.
