Chapter 76: Encountering a Ghost on the Way

Grandpa asked me to point out where the child born in the spare time lived, and then took me back and forth between the house in Sanxiang and the child's house, which was three or four miles away from each other.



Grandpa said that the ghost may appear at any time on the way from Sanxiang's house to another house, and we have to intercept the ghost and put it in the clay pot in my hand.



I asked, "What are you carrying a box of matches for?" Is it going to smoke? "Grandpa never smoked when he was catching ghosts, so I was a little curious.



Grandpa looked left and right, and replied casually: "This match is not generally used for ignition, you will know when the time comes." ”



I waited for a while, and when I saw that there was no movement, I asked my grandfather boredly: "How do the ghosts harm children?" ”



Grandpa said: "The ghost is also the soul of a child, and it is very lonely, so it wants to bring the souls of other children of the same size out to play with." If a child's soul plays with it for a long time and forgets to come back, the child's life is in danger. ”



"Isn't there a way to make it not take away the soul of a child?" "I thought, it's so easy for the ghost to hurt other children, what kid doesn't play?



Grandpa said: "It's not just a matter of casual things for the spore ghost to take away the soul of a child. It can only take the opportunity to pull the soul of the little one where the child accidentally falls. At this time, as long as it spits on the place where it falls, or snorts, or scolds, it will not dare to pull the soul of the child. ”



Before I turned 12, my mother told me to take a bite where I fell, and even stepped on the rocks that tripped me. I didn't understand it all along, but now I finally know why.



In our area, as long as you see the child falling, if the mother is around, the first action is not to help the child, but to scold the place where he fell, and then help the child up. It seems to have become a reflex for those mothers. I originally thought that these mothers doting on their children deliberately scolded the stones in front of the children to comfort the children from crying.



I asked, "Grandpa, can't we wait at the door of Sanxiang's house?" Why do you have to walk back and forth like this, how tiring it is. ”



Grandpa still looked in other directions vigilantly and said, "This ghost walks very slowly, and he can't walk half a mile a day." And it only walks at night and not during the day. So it could appear anywhere along this stretch of road. Each type of ghost has its own characteristics, and that's how the characteristics of the spores are. ”



I said, "What if it gets halfway to dawn?" ”



Grandpa said, "You can keep it under the big rocks on the side of the road." The shadow of each stone has its place. When the sun sets, it will come out looking for the little ones born in the gap time. When a person reaches the age of twelve, his soul will be relatively strong, and the ghost will not be able to pull away. ”



At this moment, I suddenly heard a murmuring sound behind me, like a lame man dragging one foot to walk. Grandpa's eyes crossed my shoulder, and his gaze was blazing: "Here, Liangzai, quickly take your clay pot!" The Ghost of the Spore appeared. ”



I was shocked, turned around, and saw a monster!



The ghost is as short as a child, with a purple face, pale lips, and ears like upside-down mushrooms. Looking at the eyes again, there were no white beads or black pupils, and the whole thing was like a transparent glass ball, which was very terrifying. When the eyes looked at the glass ball, it was as gloomy as if they had seen a bottomless dry well.



It was slowly coming towards me and grandpa, and I thought it was too late to dodge.
