Chapter 13: Crossing the Soul by the River

Probably because the soaking time was too long, so that I was already numb in the back, I couldn't feel the pain, my fingers moved, a little tingling, but it wasn't very serious, I could always smell the bloody smell in my nose, but now I can't smell it, and when I look at the sun, it's not so badly burning.

At this time, my grandfather came over and looked at my forehead, smiled evilly, and asked me, "What's the matter, are you still uncomfortable?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Much better than just now." ”

Grandpa looked around me, nodded and said, "It's almost, the yin qi is a lot lighter, and it's also a big loss for your kid's life to meet me, otherwise, you are ready to do the aftermath now." ”

I asked my grandfather if it was so serious, and my grandfather didn't speak, patted the water tank, and asked me to get up and take a look for myself, I looked down and found that the original light red blood water had turned dark red at this time, and there seemed to be some impurities in the water, which was black and viscous, and it looked very disgusting.

Although grandpa said that he could come out, but I also took a long time to get out of the water tank, and when I came out, I was blown by the wind, and the pain on my body was terrible, and the burning feeling was also very strong, there was a feeling of burning my body, grandpa asked me to wipe my body clean, put on my clothes and followed him into the house.

I asked my grandfather that my body was very hot, was it too long to soak, grandpa smiled and said, "You kid is yin and yang, and the yang energy is about to be consumed by you, now I will give you a soak with chicken blood, the evil energy is gone, and the yang energy is naturally vigorous, but your body is too weak, a little uncomfortable, normal reaction, wait a few days to recuperate." ”

As he spoke, my grandfather poured me another glass of rice wine that he had concocted, and poured a small pile of incense ashes into the wine in the incense burner for me to drink.

Although this thing tastes a little weird to drink, don't say it, this method really works, after drinking it, the burning energy has decreased a lot, and the whole body has strength, which is completely no different from before.

After that, grandpa pulled me to sit down and told me a lot of reasoning, he said that although he didn't know if You Yimei had the intention of harming me, but people and ghosts have different paths, this is not unreasonable, because ghosts and evil are yin, they are with people, they will consume their own yin, and vice versa, people are the same, from ancient times to the present, how many people and ghosts are combined, he has also heard a lot, but in the end it did not end well.

Listening to grandpa say this, I almost understand, anyway, it doesn't matter if Sister You harms me or not, I'm with her, I'm hurting myself, I asked grandpa, is there no other way, grandpa sighed, said I'm also an infatuated baby, the way is not nothing, but he definitely won't do it, because doing this kind of thing is against the way of heaven, he asked me not to miss the love of children, fate will come naturally, or take advantage of being young, do more useful things for the society.

I don't know what's wrong, after listening to Grandpa's words, I have a faint feeling of wanting to cry in my heart, no matter what I say, I have feelings for You Yimei, even if the fate is really scattered in the end, I also hope that she can vote for a good family, instead of being scattered.

I guess I saw that I had nothing to do, and my mother was going to take me back, but my grandfather said that my body had just recovered and couldn't withstand the impact, so I stayed here with him first, and observed it for a day, my mother was naturally very happy, but when I left, my mother also specially told me, saying that I must not make trouble for my grandfather, or I will go back and designate my second brother to clean me up.

Originally, my grandfather planned to take me to visit my sister's grave at noon, but because the hour has passed now, I am afraid that something will happen after I go, so my grandfather plans to take a day off and go again at noon tomorrow.

After dinner in the afternoon, my grandfather made me a glass of rice wine, and went to the side room of the north house alone, after I went over, I found that there were many hand-woven paper figures in the side room, some large and some small, but these paper figures are different from those sold in the store, and there is no expression on the face.

I asked my grandfather what he was doing, and he told me that these were all props used to make things on weekdays, but now that he is older, his hands and feet are becoming more and more difficult, and he can't make up much.

I brought a stool, sat down and knitted it with my grandfather, he smiled, said that I don't have the ability to bless mana, and the things that are folded out are useless, I told him that it was okay, I just watched it for fun, and folded it blindly.

Until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, my grandfather asked me to ride an electric tricycle to take him out, saying that he was going to go to the Huhe River Reservoir, I saw him carrying a bamboo basket, so I asked him what he was doing, he didn't speak, I secretly thought that it is difficult to go fishing now?

In the east of our county, there is a very large reservoir, the surrounding area has been transformed into a tourist area, our local people will flow through our county that section of the river called the Huhe River a reservoir, why the name is called I don't know very well, I only know that every year there are many people who go there to fish, row, swim, of course, every year will drown a lot of people.

When I was a child, I always heard old people tell ghost stories to scare us, many of which were related to the reservoir.

Anyway, when we arrived at the reservoir, because it was still early, there were still a lot of people on the side of the reservoir barbecuing, fishing or something, grandpa took me around and went to the south of the reservoir, the place was close to the cliff, there was a small dirt slope, surrounded by woods, quite gloomy, generally no one went there.

When I was on the road, I heard movement in the bamboo basket behind my grandfather, like a rustle of something rubbing against my claws, I guess it may be a rat, my grandfather patted the bamboo basket lightly twice, and said to himself, "Don't worry, I'll send you home later." ”

When I arrived at the place, my grandfather poured out the contents of the bamboo basket, and I found that there were some paper people and paper boats inside, and these paper figures were made very realistically, and their facial expressions were lifelike.

I asked my grandfather, "What are you doing with so many paper figures, is it possible to do it here?" ”

My grandfather gestured to me to stop talking, and then he asked me to help put all the paper figures on the boat and put them into the water.

Strange to say, it stands to reason that these paper boats should be wet and sink immediately after encountering water, but the strange thing is that although these boats are wet, they do not sink or be broken, and they just drift along the current, little by little, towards the center of the river.

What surprised me even more was that the boats, after they drifted to the middle of the water, did not move, and then they seemed to encounter a whirlpool and swirled and sank underwater.

It wasn't until the last boat was lowered into the water that Grandpa clapped his hands and said, "Reincarnate with peace of mind, and be a good person in the next life." ”

I was curious, so I asked my grandfather, "Who are these boats carrying?" ”

Grandpa took out the dry tobacco stick from behind his back, sighed and said, "They are all the ghosts of little dolls, some died unexpectedly, some were miscarried, and the strange and pitiful wandering in this world, I will send them." ”

I pointed to the calm surface of the river and asked him, "Then why did those boats sink suddenly?" ”

Grandpa took two puffs of dry tobacco, looked satisfied, and explained, "The river is the main yin, and it is said that the bottom of the river leads directly to the Lechuan River in the underworld, and when the yin soul arrives here, it will naturally be able to find a way home." ”

I don't know why, I suddenly became very interested in my grandfather, maybe he knows too much knowledge that I don't understand, and these knowledge is not something that can be taught to me in daily life, let alone from books.

I asked my grandfather why he used these paper things every time he did it, either a paper man or a paper boat, he smiled, and said that the Taoism recorded in ancient Chinese books is ever-changing, and he is just a trivial path of thousands of avenues, and what he is best at is this stack of paper.

I talked a lot with my grandfather, from his mouth I heard a lot of crooked ways, are once dismissed, now think about it, I did encounter a lot of strange things before, although now I am still a little confused, but I gradually believe that in this world, there are really a lot of things that we can't explain with science, this, people who have not experienced it, can not understand.
