Chapter 401: Touching Ghosts
Speaking of this, the old lady turned her head, looked at me and asked, "Do you know why I was called Jiang Ghost Hand?" This nickname has been with me since I was young, and it has been decades now, and it doesn't matter now, but when I was young, I was very resistant to this nickname, after all, a big girl, being called by others, is not good. ”
I was stunned by the question, and blurted out: "Isn't it because grandma is your old man's skillful hands?" ”
The old lady nodded, shook her head again, and said: "There is also a part of this reason, people who don't know think it's this reason, but if you think about it carefully, if it's just because of empty hands, can I be ranked as one of the four hands on the Qimen list?" ”
This completely stopped me, all this time, the crazy old man has never told us about the name of the old lady, and just now when the old lady and her apprentice fought, she did not use strange tricks, I always thought that the old lady's specialty is stealing, but now listening to the meaning of her words, there must be a unique skill.
Sure enough, the old lady saw that I couldn't answer, so she continued to say: "Because my hands are indeed a pair of ghost hands, even if it is something that others can't see, I can steal it, and even, as long as I touch it, I know what it is, whether it is a human or a ghost, a demon or a monster, and I can tell it with my hand." ”
"Strictly speaking, in fact, my hands are no longer hands, they are my other pair of eyes." As he spoke, he raised his hands and raised them at me and Ma Pingchuan.
The old lady is definitely not young anymore, she was a couple with the crazy old man when she was young, how young can she be, but these hands are still slender and white, the ten nails are very cleanly trimmed, and there is not even a little wrinkle on the back of the hand, which is not inferior to the slender jade fingers of Xue Bing, Miss Lan and Qianying.
But if you look closely, you will find that the skin of the old lady's palm is a little too thin, and you can almost see the bones and blood vessels under the skin.
The old lady continued: "My hands, since I grew and stereotyped, have never changed for decades, this is my pride, but also my life, the biggest pain. ”
I believe in the old lady's words, it is not a good thing to be able to perceive things that should not exist in this world, at least childhood will not be happy, and my childhood experience has fully proved this.
The old lady continued: "It is because of these hands that I set foot on the road of Qimen, and it is precisely because of this that I met Haifeng, at that time, I touched the ghost, he eliminated the evil, and the cooperation was very pleasant, and I also earned the name of the Jiang ghost hand." ”
The crazy old man interjected, "What are you doing with the children?" It was 800 years ago. ”
Speaking of this, the conversation turned to us and said: "By the way, your Grandma Jiang's hand, the real name should be called the ghost suppression hand, there is a special feature, no matter the ghost, if you are touched by her, you can't move, but there are gains and losses, people who are born to suppress ghost hands can't practice Qimen techniques, just like people who have practiced the Five Elements Forbidden Technique can't practice other Qimen techniques." ”
The old lady smiled and nodded: "Yes, the old woman is also this talent, and she survived on the 315 bus that day." ”
As soon as I heard about the topic, I hurriedly listened carefully, but the old lady fell into deep thought, her face became more and more ugly, and her eyes unconsciously showed a trace of fear, obviously she was immersed in the past, and this shock to her was not small, otherwise it would not have been twenty years, and she was still so scared when she thought about it.
Sure enough, after a while, the old lady finally let out a long breath and said: "It was already winter at that time, and the winter in Beijing is always very cold, different from the cold in your south, the cold in Beijing is dry and cold, the kind that is cold to the bone marrow." ”
"It's also a coincidence, an elder came from afar and lived in Xiangshan, I received a call at almost ten o'clock in the evening, so I naturally wanted to visit, but when I went to the Summer Palace, there was only the last train left."
"It's cold, and people don't want to show their heads in their rooms as soon as they get off work, so there aren't many people on the bus, a driver, a conductor, a young couple, a young man, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, and me."
"As soon as I got in the car, I felt a chill on my face, at that time it was just cold, I didn't think much about it, I sat at the back door of the car by the door, this is already a habit, this position can take advantage of the moment the passenger gets off the car, although at that time I have been washing my hands for more than 20 years, but this habit is still maintained."
"The car started, in the direction of Xiangshan, and the bus at that time was still a two-section type, very large, very cumbersome, and not fast. The roar of the car engine pierced the silent night, and there were almost no passing vehicles and pedestrians on the road. ”
My thoughts were also taken to that night by the old lady's description, the cold night, the cold wind blowing, the dim street lamps, the silent road, a dilapidated old bus, like a picture that has long been frozen, the photo has been yellowed, but it is still the most real past.
The old lady continued: "Originally, everything was normal, I didn't even think in other directions, I waited for the Beigongmen station, and I walked less than three hundred meters, and suddenly three people stopped the car on the side of the road in front, and the conductor was kind, saying that it was so cold, and it was the last train, so I asked the driver to pull over and let the three people get on the bus." ”
"As soon as the three of them got in the car, I felt that something was wrong, because the middle person was carried up by the two people next to him, and his head was always lowered, and he saw his face and his hair was wet."
"What's even more bizarre is that the two people who are holding him, wearing the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty, have pale faces and dull eyes, I just glanced at it, and I was frightened, it is definitely not the expression that a living person should have, no matter how good the makeup artist is, he can only dress up, and he can't dress up that kind of ghost."
"Moreover, I also saw that when I bought the ticket, the man dressed in the Qing Dynasty handed the conductor a piece of paper, and the conductor reached out to take it without even looking at it, and he didn't give change. Just as the conductor reached out to take the paper, I saw that the conductor's wrist was clearly tied to a corpse mark, which was the kind commonly used in morgues, and the code number on it was 034. ”
"This discovery made me pay attention to the driver, and I soon found that the driver's wrist was also tied with the same corpse mark, and the number on it was 035."
"We are proud of the people, one is by the hands and the other is by the eyes, eyesight is a compulsory homework, I believe in myself, absolutely no dazzle."
"The conductor and the driver also said two words at the time, saying that the three people who just got on the bus were filming costume dramas nearby, and they were so drunk that they didn't even have time to change their costumes, but I knew very well in my heart that these three people were veritable ghosts."
"I began to get scared, turned my head and looked, the young man, the young couple, the middle-aged man with fat head and big ears sat together, it seemed to be safer, and I came over, after all, people are afraid of ghosts, ghosts are also afraid of people, ordinary ghosts meet people full of yang, they have to go around, the five of us are together, the safety factor will indeed be a little bigger."
"Who knew that as soon as I sat down, the driver suddenly turned, I stumbled and almost fell, and my hand suddenly put on the middle-aged man's body, and the middle-aged man suddenly couldn't move. But in my mind, there was a very terrifying picture, the middle-aged man in front of me, his whole body had begun to rot, one arm was still flipping, and the bones were piercing out of the skin. ”
"I know I'm in a ghost car, but if I don't touch the other person, I can't tell who is a person and who is a ghost, I can't just care about my own life, and I don't have an excuse to get out of the car now."
"I deliberately sat behind the young couple and touched the woman's hair with my hand, and the more terrible picture reappeared in my mind, a young couple lying quietly in the water, their skin was already soaked and white, the man still maintained the appearance of hugging the woman, and the woman was only holding the man's clothes."
I moved further back, sat down beside the young man, and deliberately touched him, thankfully! This lad is a living man. ”
"At that moment I quietly took out a few pieces of change from my body and stuffed them into the young man's pocket, you know, this method of feeding is simply pediatric for me."
Speaking of this, the old lady's face showed a trace of pride, obviously she was very proud of this craft, of course, she also had the ability to be proud.
The old lady continued: "I grabbed the young man by the collar and scolded him loudly, not accusing the young man of stealing my money, and asking him to get out of the car with me and go to the police station. ”
"I shouted and cursed, noisy to get off the bus, the driver and the conductor refused at first, I kept scolding foul language, ghosts are generally afraid of these, as I scolded more and more ugly, the conductor began to stand it anymore, let the driver stop, opened the door, I quickly pulled the young man out of the car."
"At the moment I got off the bus, I looked back, but found that the car was full of people, all kinds of costumes, including women in cheongsams, old people with big cigarette bags and pots, and young offspring.
