Chapter 80: Where the Grievances Are (Free of Charge)

"Did it leave the moon season then?"

Grandpa nodded. He pinched a thorn on Yueji with two fingers and gently comforted, "Don't be angry, kid. The tone of his voice was like comforting a living child.

After my grandfather left, I put the moon on the windowsill and moved outside to bask in the sun on sunny days, watering it occasionally. Only my grandfather and I knew about it, and even my mother didn't know that my moon season was related to the spores.

One night I had a dream that I saw a black spot on the nose of the ghost, and it complained to me angrily that my grandfather had burned its only beautiful nose. I asked, how can I help you get it right? It says that tomorrow you will wake up and see a black leaf growing on the moon, and you can just take it off.

When I woke up the next day, I ran to the windowsill to look, and sure enough, a leaf was so black that I cut it off with scissors and threw it away. That night, it came back to dreaming, and I saw its nose regain its prettier appearance as it had been the first time.

I flipped through "Hundred Techniques Exorcism", which told the reason for the formation of the Evil Spore Ghost. From ancient times to the time when I was in junior high school, the feudal mentality was still very deep in many places, and the phenomenon of preference for sons over women was obvious. Some families will be looked down upon by everyone in the village if they do not give birth to a son, and the daughter-in-law has no status in the family and has to be angry with her husband and mother-in-law. So some cruel fathers and mothers saw that they had given birth to a baby girl, so they immediately soaked in the urinal under the bed, and then threw it into the dung pit to rot. Some of them soaked seven or eight baby girls in this way before they had a son.

Therefore, the vast majority of spores are formed by baby girls. It pulls away the soul of the little one because of its jealousy. However, it is also harmful when it comes to adults. The soul of an adult is relatively fixed, and the ghost can't pull it away, but it will use other methods.

The fourth grandmother said that there was a young man who had a skin-to-skin relationship with a young woman, but the woman did not admit it when she had a big belly. At that time, the thinking was relatively conservative, and the woman was embarrassed to go to the hospital, and secretly gave birth to the child and pressed it to death in a washbasin full of water.

That night, the young man carried a load of firewood and ran back and forth between the woman's house and his own, running back and forth, running back and forth, running back and forth, running and running back, without resting for a moment. When people on the road asked him, he didn't answer, stopped him and beat him.

He ran back and forth until the next morning, exhausted halfway through.

Some say that his daughter turned into a spores to get revenge on her father who didn't recognize her.

There have also been strange things in Lijia Village. If we want to go to school, we can pass through Lijia Village. There is an old tree at the head of Lijia Village, which is hugged by five or six people, and there is a beautiful red brick bungalow under the old tree, but since we were in school, there has been no one living in the house.

A classmate from Lijia Village said that there were people living here, but the new daughter-in-law of the Li family had soaked seven baby girls in a row and still did not give birth to a boy. One night, everyone in Lijia Village heard the cries of a group of girls coming from the house, and the next morning they found that the wife, husband, and mother-in-law of that family had died.
