Rat spirit that eats the dead
The young man smiled and said: It's okay, these rats are obedient, I am a rat chaser, it is not good to stay in an ordinary inn, I just happened to pass by here and saw your inn, hanging a white lantern, so I dared to come and settle down. (Baidu Search Rainbow Literature Network) (.) These rats can find a place to live by themselves, don't worry, the master doesn't have to worry, it's enough to give me a room.
After saying that, the young man closed his eyes and silently recited a few incantations, and said strangely, as if they had heard some command, the group of rats dispersed at once. After a while, they all disappeared. A swarm of rats, coming fast and going faster. I was so shocked that I rubbed my eyes, and I wondered if I had been dazzled just now.
After entering the store, the master hurriedly beckoned the young man in white to sit down, poured hot water for him, and then served the meal neatly, and poured a bowl of wine. The young man in white was hungry and unkind, so he took the bowl and devoured it. Seeing this, the master asked again: Little brother, I guess you can also see that my shop is specialized in the business of dead people, and ordinary people are afraid of bad luck and never want to come. In the past few years, I have heard a lot about strange things in the north and south of the river, but I have never heard of it, and there is also the business of rat chasers!
The young man in white put down the bowl, touched his mouth, and laughed: What's so strange about this! The world is so big that there are no surprises. When people die, the fallen leaves return to their roots. Isn't that true of rats? Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, and rats are forced to wander outside in search of food. No, if you go far, you can't recognize the way, you can't go back, so you have to bother people like me to get out of the horse!
The master's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this, naturally he didn't believe these words, people die and want to go back to their hometown, because there are still relatives in their hometown, and this rat is home everywhere, where there is food, it is home, and what is the point of going home or not, the master asked suspiciously: But who do you ask for the reward for driving the mouse?
The man took another sip of wine, shook his head and smiled: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, this is a secret!"
Master deals with corpse chasers every day, and he has seen a lot of strange things, and naturally knows that there are his own rules. Easily leaking the secrets of the bank will be punished by peers. But the master really can't think of it, in this kind of year, every family is poor and wants to smash pots and sell iron, who will pay for money and let people help drive the rats back to their hometown? When the master saw that the young man refused to say more, he didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, when the master saw that the young man in white had finished eating, he opened a room for him and let him live in. Not long after, there was a slight sound of the man from upstairs, the young man must have slept, and the master was still thinking about something he couldn't understand.
The master thought about it, suddenly slapped his thigh, his eyes lit up, and whispered to me, this kid ...... It's amazing, what drives the rats back to their hometowns, I estimate that eighty percent of them are false! Someone must have paid a high price to buy rat meat, and everyone has to be hungry to eat tree bark these days, and the wild cats and foxes on the mountain have been caught for food, and it is estimated that it is now the turn of the rats again, so this person has found such a large group of rats from nowhere, and intends to sell them for a good price. But just finding so many rats and having to make them obey their own words is not a small task! Therefore, the master still admired that man, and thought to himself that when he was free, he would have to ask this little brother for a few tricks.
Oddly enough, we didn't hear rats that night. The large group of rats, who didn't know where to stay, was quiet, and there was no sound at all.
The next morning, Master and I were cleaning the shop, and we saw the man coming down from upstairs, and Master hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Little brother, I am still comfortable in this shop, why didn't I sleep so late last night?"
The white-clothed Qingnian smiled: I'm used to it, it's okay anyway, seeing that the weather is good today, I'll come out to bask in the sun, oh...... That's right...... I may have to stay a few more days, and I won't be able to leave for a while.
The master paused, and hurriedly smiled and said politely: I can't ask for it! We open the door to do business, I wish the customers came and didn't leave, little brother just live!
Because the master thought, although this man has a strange skill to drive away rats, but he doesn't see any adverse effects on the business of the store, so if he wants to stay, let him stay for a few more days!
After breakfast, the man said that he would go to the mountains for a walk, and that he would not come back at noon, and that he would return to the inn at dinnertime.
However, Master and I were also puzzled, this man said that he was a rat chaser, not to mention that this business was very strange and unheard of, even if it was true, wasn't he in a hurry to complete this mission? How can you still have the leisure to go to this deep mountain to play, and besides, this poor and remote land, except for trees and grass, what is there to see.
After dark, this person really returned to the store again, and asked the master to prepare some wine and meat for him, which was said to be hungry for a day, so the master quickly set up the table and chairs, and served the person with wine and meat meals, the young man in white was in the dining room, and suddenly a person walked in the store, and the master hurriedly looked up, it turned out to be the corpse chaser Wang Lao Wu, this Wang Lao Wu can be regarded as a frequent customer of the master, because this person is tall and physically strong, so the business is very good, on average several times a month to come to the store, this time when Wang Lao Wu came, With two more 'customers' on his back, the master hurriedly greeted Wang Lao Wu, Wang Lao Wu also noticed that there was another customer in the store, Wang Lao Wu just nodded slightly and said hello to the young man in white, and the young man in white also nodded, even if the two asked each other.
Wang Lao Wu is still the same, he first put the customer on his back, let the master prepare two catties of beef and one catty of old wine for him, after speaking, Wang Lao Wu carried the two corpses upstairs, at this time, I noticed that the young man in white looked closely at the two masked corpses on Wang Lao Wu's back, and there was a strange light in his eyes, and even the food in his hand stopped, and he watched Wang Lao Wu go upstairs and disappear before turning his head.
At this time, the master was setting aside the wine and meat, and said to the young man in a low voice, "Little brother, you have also seen it, and I won't tell you that this person is a corpse chaser, he is a corpse chaser, you are a rat chaser, and you can be regarded as half a peer." You probably also know that the corpse driving industry is a bit withdrawn, unwilling to contact the living, later, after going upstairs to rest, if you are okay, don't disturb people.
After hearing this, the young man in white smiled strangely and nodded.
After a while, Wang Lao Wu came down to eat, the two of them finished eating at about the same time, and the two of them didn't say much during the banquet, and after eating, they went upstairs to rest, and after Master and I cleaned up the leftovers, we felt that the time was about the same, so we closed the door and went to rest.
I don't know how long it took, my master and I were sleeping in a daze, and suddenly heard a scream from upstairs, my master and I were awakened, and quickly got dressed and came out, and just came out to see Wang Lao Wu stumbling down from the upstairs with blood all over his body, and the master hurriedly grabbed Wang Lao Wu and asked what was wrong, Wang Lao Wu shouted with a frightened face, "Upstairs...... Cannibalism...... Monster...... Cannibalism ......", Wang Lao Wu was already so frightened that he was incoherent, and after saying that, he broke free from his master and limped towards the door and fled for his life.
Master and I were stunned at the time, what happened upstairs, Wang Lao Wu said that there were monsters eating people upstairs, but upstairs out of Wang Lao Wu and the young man in white, where did the monsters come from, Master has opened a shop here for more than ten years, and I haven't seen any monsters at all, but what can be something to make a strong man who drives corpses like this, Master is also a little frightened at this time, but he can't run with Wang Lao Wu, the first is that he didn't see what happened upstairs, and the second is that this shop is Master's own, What should I do if the master runs away from the store.
So, Master hurriedly went to the kitchen and came out with a kitchen knife, held it tightly in his hand, and said to me with a frightened face, "Wudou, don't run around, follow me!" ”
So, I followed the master cautiously upstairs, and when I came upstairs, I saw that the door of the room where Wang Lao Wu lived was empty, and there was a pool of blood at the door, which dripped all the way to the stairs, which should have flowed down when Wang Lao Wu ran out just now, and Master and I listened carefully, there seemed to be a faint sound of squeaking rats in Wang Lao Wu's house, but this sound was definitely not just a mouse, but a large group of mice.
Master and I were very puzzled at this time, and slowly walked towards Wang Lao Wu's house, and came to the door, Master slowly pushed open the door, but the scene in the house surprised me and Master, because the ground in the house, on the tables and chairs, **, was full of rats, and the young man in white was standing in the room with his back to us, and we looked again, opposite the young man in white were the two corpses on Wang Lao Wu's back, the corpses were densely crawling with mice, and the clothes on the corpse had already been bitten to shreds. The whole corpse was blurred with flesh and blood, and Master and I saw clearly that those rats were actually devouring the dead people's **, Master and I were frightened when we saw this scene, and Master shouted to the white-clothed young man in the room with a trembling voice, "Little brother......"
At this time, I saw the young man in white staggering around, as if he was drunk, and when the young man in white turned around, he saw the appearance of the young man, Master and I were surprised, because the young man in white didn't know what he had eaten, his belly was surprisingly big, as if he was pregnant for ten months, and what was even more terrifying was that his two eyes shone with a seeping red light, and the young man in white staggered towards us and took two steps over, Master hurriedly held a kitchen knife to protect me, and took two steps back. I saw that the young man in white suddenly opened his mouth wide, and his upper body trembled and leaned forward, as if he was drunk and wanted to vomit but couldn't spit it out, I saw that the young man in white's mouth opened wider and wider, just when Master and I were stunned, I only heard a muffled scream from the throat of the young man in white, and then the mouth was like a mouse hole, and countless mice jumped out of it, rushing straight at me and Master, Master was startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back, but the speed was comparable to those surging rats, In an instant, countless mice jumped on the master's body and began to bite, the kitchen knife in the master's hand was naturally nowhere to be used, and he couldn't cut at his body...... Don't come back! ”
At this time, I was already paralyzed by fright, where could I hear the call with my two feet, seeing the mice in the house continue to pour out, crawling all over the master's body, and then rushing towards me, surviving**, let me run downstairs with a rolling belt, running towards the dark outside of the store, after coming to the outside of the store, I couldn't see my five fingers, I didn't care that there was a way out, I ran away, ran all the way, only heard the wind blowing in my ears, and I didn't know how long I ran, I thought to myself that those mice should not have chased me, but who knew that I looked back, Not far behind me, there was a large number of mice with red eyes running towards me behind me, how dare I stop, quickly ran forward again, running and running suddenly saw a figure staggering in front of Cangcang, followed up to see, it turned out to be Wang Lao Wu, because he was injured, so he ran here, Wang Lao Wu saw that it was me, so he hurriedly ran forward with me, but the large group of mice were in hot pursuit, and finally Wang Lao Wu may have lost too much blood and really couldn't run, in a hurry, I looked at the trees all around, and said to Wang Lao Wu, Or let's climb the tree, the rats won't climb the tree, Wang Lao Wu gasped, waved his hand and said, no, these mice are not ordinary mice, they are all rats in the body of the rat spirit, and there are thousands, even if we climb the tree, or in a few minutes those mice will gnaw the whole tree off, and then it will be difficult to escape death, I asked Wang Lao Wu what to do, Wang Lao Wu said that he is no longer good, tonight he will not be able to run out of the palm of the rat spirit, he decided to use his body as a price, delay the rat spirit to keep up, and then let me run.
Seeing those rats getting closer and closer, there was no chance if I didn't run early, I had to ruthlessly leave Wang Lao Wu and run away, otherwise we would both die there, not long after I ran out, I heard Wang Lao Wu's painful screams behind me, I knew that the group of rats was devouring Wang Lao Wu, I didn't care about those, I only knew to run forward desperately, and finally I didn't know if I ran fast to get rid of the group of rats, or the group of rats ate several people and didn't catch up, anyway, I didn't stop until the sky was slightly bright, Looking back, the rats had not caught up, and when I looked around, I had run out of the mountains, in the midst of a rice field, and I could already see the farmers in the distance, and I thought that I should be saved.
Since then, I have really seen this world, there is everything, there are really some things in the world that you don't see with your own eyes, you won't believe if you die, and these things, some people will never encounter in a lifetime, and I, although I witnessed this scene, the price was that the master took his life, and the corpse chaser Wang Lao Wu also took his life in order to let me run out, and I became an orphan again, that incident had too much impact on me, since then, I have become silent, and the things I saw day and night have never been told to others, Later, I escaped from Jiangsu, came to Shanxi, worked in the brick kiln in Shanxi for eight years, endured all the hardships of the world, when I was sixteen years old, I fled from Shanxi with three young people of the same age, went to the Northeast, and made a large family under the Changbai Mountain, this was another four years, until I was twenty years old, I encountered a terrible and bizarre thing again, and it was from that incident that I really stepped into the industry of dealing with ghosts.
Speaking of this, the old man paused, but Xiao Huangmao was a little impatient, and hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, what have you been through, hurry up." ”
Mr. Sanbu saw that Xiao Huangmao was puzzled, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, don't worry, let me take a breath and tell you slowly!" ”
So, Mr. Sanbu went on to say, "At that time, the family that accepted a few of us to be subordinates was the famous Northeast Wang Zhenyuan general Pan Daoming in the Daoguang period, although this General Pan had a set of wars, but the military generals were also extremely violent, and their lives were extremely extravagant, the wives and concubines at home were grouped, and there were hundreds of people under the light. But the good times did not last long, Tsarist Russia invaded our northeast border, Emperor Daoguang sent Pan Daoming to suppress, Pan Daoming went for more than half a year, in the early spring of the second year, one of Pan Daoming's concubines fell seriously ill and died, Pan Daoming loved this concubine very much when he was at home on weekdays, but now the war is tight, the front line is retreating, and the court is putting a lot of pressure on Pan Daoming, so although the concubine died of illness, Pan Daoming can't pull back from his body, but he just took a letter from home saying that he must bury this concubine, and bury the concubine. is supported by another man in the family, this person is called Qiu Zong, is the son-in-law of Pan Daoming's youngest daughter, because although Pan Daoming has many wives and concubines, he has never gotten a son for some reason, only a dozen daughters, seeing that his daughters are all adults, one by one they are married, and they are all married to some dignitaries, but this Pan Daoming has always been unhappy, until the last little daughter has reached the age of marriage, Pan Daoming feels most sorry for this little daughter, and he can't bear to marry her, so he decided to recruit a son-in-law for his youngest daughter, It can be regarded as continuing the fireworks for himself, and later he picked this Qiu Zong, although this Qiu Zong is only the son of a county official, and his family background naturally does not match his identity as the king of the Northeast, but the youngest daughter likes this Qiu Zong, Pan Daoming had to rely on the youngest daughter, recruited Qiu Zong into the door, and after entering the door, he found that this Qiu Zong's brain is really smart, not only will he take care of the inside and outside of the house, but also be respectful in front of himself, so after a long time, Pan Daoming will trust this son-in-law Qiu Zong more and more, once he goes out, Then all the things in the family were handed over to Qiu Zong to deal with, this time the concubine died, Pan Daoming specially told Qiu Zong in the letter to bury this concubine, Qiu Zong naturally did not dare to slack off after the order, and quickly recruited a feng shui master, and selected a good feng shui treasure land for the concubine of the old man in the water mill ditch, but according to the feng shui master, the only deficiency is the lack of gold in the five elements here.
