Chapter 4: Blame the Old Man
A few years ago, I used the plum blossom to count a hexagram and ask my father about his whereabouts. But I couldn't figure it out, I thought I wasn't good at it. Later, I learned that Yin people do not go to hexagrams.
At the time, I didn't know if my skills were ok.
I kept thinking about a sentence in the book: Yin people don't go to hexagrams. If it can't be found on the hexagram, it means that the person is dead.
In a little while, we'll be reunited as a family. Mom and Dad, even though we haven't met. But my son misses you so much. With the love of your parents, you don't have to be looked down upon anymore.
I don't know how long it took for me to wake up.
The ceiling of my cousin and I was covered with small wallpaper hello_kitty his favorite. I often sarcastically mock him for being a big man who likes things that little girls like, and he complains about my straight male cancer.
On the desk opposite, there was also a large wave of his men's skin care products.
I often suspect that he is gay, and I am really worried that he will sleep with him one day. It's exciting to think about. Every time he replies to me, what nonsense does he say, Lao Tie, I am a pure master.
Looking at this scene now, is it fateful to die?
If I hadn't died, what about Jiang Meiyue?
Speak of the devil.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Meiyue walked in with a bowl of medicine. Seeing that I woke up, I put the bowl on the desk angrily, and the medicinal soup splashed on my cousin's skin care products.
She squinted at me and said, drink the medicine.
I ask you didn't fall last night?
"Are you too embarrassed to ask?"
As soon as she heard this, the fire came. When she came up, she was about to twist my ear, but I cleverly dodged it, and her hand hit the bed frame upside down.
She was angry and annoyed, pointed at my nose and scolded me unceremoniously: "You are embarrassed to say, what are you doing with me in the middle of the night?" Pervert, you? I ask you, why did you jump into the water in front of me? Is it because I usually bully you, and you deliberately retaliate, so that you want to jump down and blame me? ”
Eldest sister, you also know that you usually treat me badly.
I was kind enough to go down to save you, how did it become a blame? By the way, she said that I jumped into the water in front of her, and asked, "You didn't fall into the water?" ”
"Neurotic."
Jiang Meiyue rolled her eyes again and said that I must not have fallen into the water. You've taken drugs, haven't you? I'm starting to hallucinate.
Gotta get it!
Since I didn't fall into the water, I won't say that I went down to save you. lest you be like a big star, always suspect me of rubbing your popularity and looking for topics on you.
But when she reached out, something appeared on her wrist.
Last night in the reservoir, the rope wrapped around the willow wood was now on Jiang Meiyue's hand.
The rope is red and bright, and it is particularly conspicuous. She saw me staring at her hand, and followed my eyes to find that the red rope had been exposed at some point, and pulled the red rope and stuffed it into the chiffon long sleeves.
It seems that Jiang Meiyue has taken in the little ghost.
The book says that after the soul retrieval is successful, the corpse rope needs to be placed on the host. In order to familiarize the imp with the host, it plays a role in recognizing the master. This process is like a mother carrying a child. So that when Liu Linglang is born in the future, he will only recognize the host. I don't know if Jiang Mei Yuecheng is successful, but the steps are quite correct, and the emphasis on the inside is also clear.
She said in an arrogant tone, as always, that you are okay, I am out.
Walk slowly.
Don't add to the blockage in front of me, although Jiang Meiyue is as beautiful as a moon flower, her personality is very fierce. I really don't like this kind of tough and domineering girl, it's still like Zhong Ling, it's more comfortable to laugh sweetly.
That's right, Zhong Ling!!
I remembered that I made an appointment with Zhong Ling yesterday and went to her house today to deal with the haunting. said to take the morning bus to the main city, seeing that it is now more than six o'clock in the afternoon, and it is a problem to catch the evening bus.
"Brush!" I stood up and took out my mobile phone to see that there were several messages sent to me by Zhong Ling, asking me why I hadn't arrived yet, if I was lost and at the wrong station, and she was waiting for me at the station.
When I saw it, I felt a little reluctant to go, and I was busy replying that there was something to delay. Said I'm going out now to catch the late bus. Let her go back first, and I'll take a taxi by myself when I get there.
Zhong Ling didn't reply, and estimated that his mobile phone was out of battery at the station.
I rolled over and packed my things and went out.
When I left, I told my grandfather that I had found a part-time job in the main city and would go for a few days. My grandfather didn't say anything, but when my second uncle heard it, he didn't ask if I had just drowned, or if it was going to be dark now, and I would go again tomorrow.
said that he finally knew how to find a job to do, so he didn't have to eat dry rice at home.
My second uncle always thought I was redundant.
It doesn't matter, I've always been belittled like this, I'm used to it.
Originally, I was still a little reluctant, but when I heard this, I picked up my bun and left without looking back. Our village is at the foot of the mountain, so we have to take a car to go out on a small road, go to the town and wait for the bus from the county seat.
I went to the county seat and changed into a bus from the main city.
When I went out, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and it was a little dark, and when I came out, there were many forests on the path, and it was the season when the corn stalks were high, and the light was almost blocked.
At this rate, hopefully I'll be able to get out of the woods next year.
Suddenly, something appeared in front of me, and my eyes lit up.
Oxcart!
A small old man wore a white linen garment, a hemp rope tied around his waist, and a pointed hat on his head. Live like a fisherman. But he pulled the reins of the ox in his hand, and behind the ox was a small broken cart made of several wooden planks.
Perhaps he saw that it was getting late, jumped sideways, and got on the ox cart with his buttocks.
With a whip in his hand, it looks like he's going to leave.
"Wait, wait!!"
I shouted as I ran, caught up with the ox cart in three or two steps, and asked the old man: "Grandpa, seeing that your path is to go to the town, can I take your ox cart with me?" ”
When the old man saw that it was a young man, he smiled and said.
I also sat on the other side with one butt.
The old man's ox walked really fast, I don't know what method he used. I didn't see him whip the cow's buttocks, and the cow followed a motor, "Da Da" The ox kept rushing to the road, not even looking at the grass on the side of the road.
"Grandpa, where is your home?"
Along the way, the old man didn't say a word. I was the first to open my mouth to break the silence, but the old man was sitting precariously and did not squint. Attentively driving the ox cart.
Seeing that he ignored me, I showed the old man his face out of occupational illness.
Because as soon as you get on the road, the concrete floor reflects white light. It's not as dark as in the woods. He had white hair under his hat, but his face was blue. The eyes are also slightly blue, peeking through the eyeballs.
This face looks the same as the Blue Winged Bat King in Su Youpeng's version of Heaven and Dragon Slayer.
Strangely, I couldn't even make out his face at all.
It is said in the book that there are four situations in which you can't see your face: First, your profession is not good, and you can't see it accurately. This can't be, the people in our village and on the street, I'll look at it accurately. Second, the other party's cultivation is higher than yours, and he can cover it. Three, the other party has not cultivated, but please cover it with a master. Fourth, the other party is a ghost, and the ghost is different from the human. The ghost is locked on top of the cabinet, and I haven't touched it yet.
In this kind of scene, I only felt that the old man's blue face was a little terrifying.
I subconsciously thought of the fourth situation, such a weird face, could it be ......?
In the past, there was a girl in our village who drank pesticides and died, and when I stopped drinking, I couldn't help but be curious, and I took a look at the coffin, and the basin was so blue that I didn't dare to pass through their door for a year.
I have never seen this old man, unlike our village and several production teams nearby. I know all those people, and I don't have the face of an old man.
Isn't it a ghost who died of drinking pesticides decades ago, and came out for a stroll at night?
It is said in ancient books that ghosts travel day and night to return to the country.
That is, the dirty things come out and hang around, and there is a time like people going to work. He was not allowed to come out until after eight o'clock in the evening, and he had to go back before six o'clock in the morning. Because it belongs to the earth, the ghost inherits the grace of the earth mother and gets time to wander in the world.
Mao belongs to the chicken, and the rooster cries at dawn.
If you don't go back, the sun will be gone.
It's almost eight o'clock now, and the old man can't come up from below in advance, right?
Seeing that I kept looking at him, the old man suddenly sneered and said, "Young man, what are you doing watching me all the time?" Do I have flowers or jokes on my face?
I want to say you have a blue face.
Without waiting for me to answer, he spoke again: "Young man, why are you going out so late?" Is it to make money? Or do you want to meet the chick of your heart? ”
I thought to myself that when I first got in the car, your mouth was as tight as my third grandfather's wallet, and I couldn't open it. As soon as he opened his mouth now, he asked three questions in a row like a pea shooter.
"Hey."
When I heard this, I said, "You didn't answer what I asked you, but you asked me first." You haven't said where you're from. What are you doing in our village? Looking for relatives? ”
"Hey, you're right."
The tone of the old man's speech is also quite similar to that of the Blue Winged Bat King, slender and tall: "Come here to pick up an old friend, it can be regarded as an old acquaintance." Coincidentally, he was not here today, so he went to his son-in-law's house and ran for nothing. ”
I asked him who he was going to pick up, I knew all the people nearby, and when he came back to help you convey it, he wouldn't have to run for nothing, and he didn't know you were coming.
When the old man heard this, he waved his hand again and again.
said: "You can't say it, you can't say it, if you let him know, don't want to receive him in this life." Don't worry about me, talk about you. ”
"Me?"
I pointed to the tip of my nose and asked me if I had anything to say.
The old man kept looking ahead, tilting his nose and concentrating on catching the car.
Half a day with a side face to me said: "Hmph! The car was only sent to not be ushered in. Anyone who has been in this car has never returned. You got in my car today, no matter where you go, you can still go back? ”
These words tingled my spine and a hint of fear appeared in my eyes.
Could it be a dead man's car looking for a stand-in?
I often hear that there are ghosts of all ages on the road, because there are few people walking at night in the countryside. As a result, wolves have more meat and less meat, and it is difficult to find a stand-in, so they have been wandering on the road.
Coupled with the fact that I couldn't see his face just now, it strengthened my suspicion.
No, this is not the time to coward.
No matter how much I want to reunite with my parents, I can't be dragged away by ghosts. Not to mention the tragedy of death, I really want to be a stand-in, and I don't know which life I can get out.
Tighten the strap of the schoolbag on your back, and you are about to jump out of the car.
As soon as I made a gesture, the person behind me grabbed the strap of my schoolbag and brought it back to me with one claw.
