It may be that I didn't stand firmly, my body staggered, and suddenly I fell to the ground, and I was about to hit the ground, but a strong and strong hand lay in front of me to stop me from falling, and he quickly stretched out his other hand, held my forehead, and made me stand up.

I was shocked, and when I came back to my senses, I quickly said thank you.

The sound of the rain falling outside continued, and I fixed my eyes on the appearance of the person who came, about fifty years old, dressed in black, and looking a little rough, looking like a person doing hard work.

He smiled and said, thank you, raise your hand.

As he spoke, he lifted the wooden box that was placed on the ground and carried it on his back.

I hurried him in to take shelter from the rain.

He was not polite, and after coming in, he sat directly opposite Xiao Wanwan, and I brought him a bowl of water. Serve it and drink it. I asked him if he wanted something to eat?

He waved his hand and said, "No, I'll wait for the rain to stop and leave." ”

That's it, I didn't say a word to him, and asked Xiao Wanwan who I am?

I was embarrassed to say that Xiao Wanwan was my daughter-in-law, so I said that she was my relative. This carpenter is also bold and does not ask deeply. During this period, Xiao Wanwan looked a little restrained, didn't say a word, and about half an hour later, the rain stopped, and he got up and walked out.

He asked, "Where is the river temple in your village?" Do you want to take me there? ”

Xiao Wanwan walked up to me and pinched my sleeve, I knew that Xiao Wanwan was reminding me not to go out.

So I said to the carpenter, "I can't go out tonight, you go down that road, and at the end of it is the temple of the river."

He smiled, not reluctantly, and when he left, he hugged his fist at me and said thank you, I watched his movements, and muttered a little in my heart, thinking that this person is so strange!

After he left, I closed the door, and Xiao Wanwan suddenly asked me, "Do you feel uncomfortable in your body?" ”

I shook my head and said no.

Xiao Wanwan frowned and said, "I always feel that the person just now is unusual, maybe not an ordinary person." ”

What Xiao Wanwan said I was suspicious, and I moved my muscles and bones greatly, and there was no problem, I asked Xiao Wanwan not to think about it, besides, Yuan Zhen asked me not to go out, and I didn't go out now.

Xiao Wanwan probably thought what I said made sense, so she didn't say much. I washed up and got ready for bed.

Outside, before I knew it, it started to rain heavily.

I fell asleep in a daze...... When I got up the next day, I kept coughing, and I couldn't help it, wondering if I had contracted the wind chill last night. Not long after, my second grandfather came in from outside, and he first asked, how is my grandfather?

I said the same old way. The second grandfather sighed and didn't bother much. Then he said: "Wait a minute, you will also go to the river temple, the people in the village will reshape the statue of the god for a big event, and it will be good to go to the light." ”

I answered, but I couldn't hold back a cough.

The second grandfather asked me, "Are you okay?" ”

I said, "It's fine. ”

The second grandfather didn't stay long, so he rushed to the River Temple, I simply packed it up, and followed it.

Li Duangong was there early, and the villagers surrounded him. Rural people generally respect Duan Gong very much, and if they can get involved with him, maybe there will be a great transformation.

When Duan Gong saw me coming, he walked towards me and greeted me.

I responded, since I met Yuan Zhen, Li Duangong's attitude towards me has been very enthusiastic. Li Duangong told me that the second grandfather and the carpenter were already inside. Let me go in and have a look, I answered, and walked in with Li Duangong.

It's just that after entering, I glanced at it, and I was puzzled, so I asked, "Li Duangong, where is the carpenter?" ”

Li Duangong stretched out his hand and pointed to a tall and thin man, who was at least sixty years old.

My heart sank, and I wondered, "Is there a mistake?" Is he a carpenter? Is there another person? ”

Li Duangong's expression changed when he looked at me, and said: "This carpenter is a blessed person, his children and grandchildren are full, his wife is alive, there are two pairs of dragon and phoenix fetuses in the family, and there is absolutely no second person in ten miles and eight villages. ”

Li Duangong's words, how could I not understand, he meant that this person was a carpenter, so what would the person I saw last night be?

My cough grew louder and louder, and it became more frequent.

Some of them looked like they had tuberculosis, and they attracted everyone's eyes to me, so I covered my mouth and tried to suppress my cough first. Li Duangong also asked me, "Is there anything wrong with this carpenter?" ”

I shook my head, afraid that everyone's eyes would look at me again, and I ran outside the River Temple.

I couldn't hold it down, so I let go of my hand, and when I let go, I found that the palm of my hand was wet, and I looked down and saw a pool of black blood.

I was stunned for a few seconds, and at this moment, a hand suddenly put on my shoulder, and subconsciously resisted and pushed.

Li Duangong was pushed back by me for several steps before he stabilized his figure, looked at me again, and completely changed: "Follow me!" ”

Li Duangong took my hand and walked outside, about two or three hundred meters away from the River Temple, before stopping.

I asked Li Duangong what was wrong?

Li Duangong said, I should have asked you what's wrong? Why do you keep coughing?

I told Li Duangong that I probably didn't sleep well last night and had a cold.

Li Duangong looked at me with a serious expression, and he said, "You are weak and have no eyes, I am afraid that you will hit the evil spirit." ”

"Hit the devil?" I asked, confused.

Li Duangong asked me to tell me everything I encountered last night, I glanced at Li Duangong, and now that Yuan Zhen is not there, I can only tell him, so I simply told him about the "carpenter".

Li Duangong sighed and said: "You are the person who has done evil to you, someone wants to kill you, you pluck a few hairs for me, and I will help you take a look." ”

Li Duangong's tone was very serious, and I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I was about to tear off my hair, but I just put it on my head, but I was patted on the back of my hand, and it hurt a little, so I turned my head to look. I saw Yuan Zhen holding a black umbrella, one hand tied behind him, and Xiao Wanwan also followed him.

Yuan Zhen said angrily: "Stinky boy, what are you doing?" ”

I hurriedly said to Yuan Zhen: "Master, Li Duangong said that I hit an evil spirit. ”

When Li Duangong saw Yuan Zhen coming, he bent down slightly, Yuan Zhen didn't even look at Li Duangong, and said, "How do you see that my apprentice Zhang Yan has hit an evil spirit?" ”

Li Duangong's face was grim and said: "I judged from what happened to Zhang Xiaozi last night and his actual situation, his eyes were blank, his steps were vain, and he was ......."

Yuan Zhen interrupted Li Duangong's words and said, "Okay, I know. ”

Li Duangong didn't dare to say anything, and no one spoke for a while. After a pause, Li Duangong and Yuan Zhen said goodbye, said goodbye, and withdrew.

After Li Duangong left, Yuan Zhen reached out and knocked on my head and said, "Why are you so stupid, can you give people your hair casually?" I have never heard of the parents who receive the hair of the body, except that the parents want your hair, no one can give it. ”

I didn't know what to say for a moment, but I couldn't stop coughing a few times.

Yuan Zhen said: "You are not a demon, you are a lost soul, someone took away one soul and one soul, people have three souls and seven souls, and now you only have two souls and six souls, and you have lost the ghost spirit and tongue blood." ”

I was a little confused.

Yuan Zhen was very patient and said: "A living person is composed of three souls and seven spirits, and the three souls are respectively, fetal light, cool spirit, and ghostly spirit. The popular saying of the seven spirits is that the blood on the human body is divided into: eye blood, ear blood, nosebleeds, and body blood, which are five roots, namely, eyes, tongue, ears, nose, and body. Outside of the five roots, there is the blood of red and white internal organs, so ordinary people, if these places suddenly bleed, it may be that the soul has been affected. You open your mouth. ”

I opened my mouth according to Yuan Zhen's instructions, Yuan Zhen looked at it, the tip of his tongue was broken, and it was still black blood, and the ghost spirit was lost, apprentice, I'm afraid you won't survive.

Yes! Yuan Zhen's words were like a slap in the face, which made me extremely sober in an instant.

I was just about to speak, but Xiao Wanwan on the side said before me: "Master, you must be able to save him, right?" ”

Yuan Zhen glanced at Xiao Wanwan playfully and said, "Girl, I can't see that you still care about this stinky boy, tell me, do you like him?" ”

Xiao Wanwan was a little embarrassed by Yuan Zhen's words, and her head lowered a little.
