Chapter 7: A Bowl of Hair
Bai Xinghua's words made my mother stunned instantly.
What do you mean? We came to her so easily, but she didn't answer this stubble, isn't this a person who is in a hurry?
My mother was a little sneering at the time, and hesitated for a long time before saying to Bai Xinghua: "His sister-in-law, don't be modest, I know, you can definitely do this, you can help our family a trace, you can rest assured, we won't let you work in vain, and we will definitely thank you later." ”
Hearing my mother's words, Bai Xinghua's face turned slightly red, and she said to my mother a little embarrassed: "Auntie, it's not that I don't help, it's that I really don't have that way." I've heard of a trace of things, he is a symptom brought about by childhood, and it is not so easy to treat. ”
At this time, seeing Bai Xinghua pushing back and forth, I looked unhappy, and my temperament also came, so I immediately dragged my mother's arm and said: "Mom, if it doesn't work, let's go home, these are feudal superstitions, I don't believe it." ”
"You kid, why are you talking nonsense?" When my mom heard me, she turned around and blocked me, then grabbed my arm and was about to start.
Seeing this situation, Bai Xinghua was embarrassed, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab my mother and said to her: "Auntie, don't beat the child, okay, I promised to help you?" ”
Seeing that Bai Xinghua was willing to help me see my illness, my mother let me go, and then smiled, and dragged me inside while pulling Bai Xinghua into the house.
Entering Bai Xinghua's house, I took a look at her house and found that the furnishings of her house were very simple, and it seemed that life was not easy, but it was cleaned up very neatly and neatly, giving people a very neat feeling.
I sat down in her living room, Bai Xinghua went into the back room, took out a sewing basket, sat in front of me, looked me up and down, twisted a sewing needle, strung the green thread, and then took my hand, while using the tip of the needle in my palm to draw weakly, the green thread around my wrist, while squinting slightly, there were words in her mouth, as if she was saying a spell, after a while, she stopped, raised the sewing needle in her hand, pulled the blue thread, looked at the light, and then frowned, and said to my mother with a solemn expression: "Auntie, It's not just a dirty smell, why do I see it with blood? Is there something lacking in virtue in your family? ”
"His sister-in-law, you can't talk nonsense, you see how big a mark is, what bad things can he do?" Hearing Bai Xinghua's words, my mother hurriedly defended me.
"So what the hell is going on?" Bai Xinghua looked at me and my mother with some curiosity and asked.
Seeing this situation, my mother could only tell her about me in detail.
"Didn't the small picture at the west end of the village drown two days ago? What do you think, how old is that baby? This death, there must be a lot of resentment, but as a result, Yijian this little bastard went to join in the fun, fell down, and went directly to the corpse of the female baby, and happened to be on her body, this is really not a trace of doing a bad thing, she was entangled by herself. My mother said to Bai Xinghua.
Hearing this, Bai Xinghua nodded slightly, and muttered: "If that's the case, then it's okay, if you can survive the first seven, it's basically fine." That's it, aunt, you and Yiji don't go back tonight, stay with me, and I'll try to help Yiji block this evil spirit. ”
"Thank you so much," Seeing that Bai Xinghua was willing to help, my mother hurriedly got up to thank her, and Bai Xinghua also quickly stood up to thank her, but then frowned a little embarrassed, looked left and right, and said to my mother: "That, aunt, it's that the first place in my house is too small, and there is only one big bed, you see-"
"It's okay, it's okay, this kid doesn't pick the ground when he sleeps, besides, he's all burned and confused, and he can fall asleep on the ground, don't worry about this," my mother comforted Bai Xinghua.
Bai Xinghua's face was slightly red, and she was a little embarrassed to take my mother's hand and said: "Auntie, I don't mean that, I mean that my bed may be a little unlucky, after all, you have just passed away, if you don't want to sleep there, just take a look in the east room, there is a small soft bed over there, hanging a tent, you let Yiji sleep there, we don't squint anymore, just keep him all night, what do you think?" ”
What else can my mom have at this time? Of course, it was up to her.
Immediately, my mother and Bai Xinghua helped me into the east room and lay down on the small soft bed.
I was so dazed by the burn that I had no strength at all, and when I lay down, I was so dizzy that I was about to fall asleep.
At this moment, Bai Xinghua first grabbed a handful of ashes from the bottom of the pot, sprinkled it around the small bed, and then took a broom and put it next to the bed, and then lit a kerosene lamp on the small table at the head of the bed, and then bent down and patted me gently, and said to me softly: "A trace, you can sleep at ease, your sister-in-law guards you, and no demons and monsters can get in, don't worry, you know?" ”
"I know, thank you, sister-in-law," I was dazed, my eyes couldn't open a little, I only felt that the voice of the white apricot blossom was like a lullaby, after listening to it, the whole person was lazy, and then I fell asleep unconsciously.
However, although I was asleep, it was almost the same as waking up, because I had a very strange dream.
In the dream I found myself not lying down, but sitting cross-legged, and where I was sitting was a large closet, which I don't know what kind of wood it was made of, and it was whitish in color, mottled on it, and had a lot of paint off, and it seemed to be an old object.
I don't know what this is all about, but I just sat in the closet, like a clay statue, with two big red candles lit in front of me, and tribute, which made me feel very strange, and I wanted to turn my head to look out, but my body couldn't move, and I could only see the small part outside the closet.
Fortunately, there wasn't much space in front of the closet, so I happened to see my mom and Bai Xinghua, who were sitting together under the lamp, peeling a dustpan of peanuts, and whispering something from time to time, as if they were very mysterious, and I didn't know what they were talking about.
After that, I sat like this, fluttering, and unconsciously, suddenly I felt the wind around me, and then I looked again, only to find that the door did not know when it actually opened by itself, and outside the door, there seemed to be a small figure standing, looking into the room with gloomy eyes, and the situation was obviously trying to enter the house.
At this time, I saw Bai Xinghua grab a broom, and while leaning the door shut, she scolded outside: "Go, go, go back to your house, don't come to me to make trouble, be careful to kill you!" ”
Bai Xinghua shouted like this, the door was closed, and the figure could not be seen, I didn't know why at this time, but I was a little sad, because I knew that the figure was probably a little confused soul.
However, it didn't seem that the little fool was so easily driven away, and when the door was closed, she began to lie on the window and look in, and even pushed the window open.
I remember very clearly, when the window was knocked open by "hula", the little fool was covered with hair, drenched in water, and crawled in with his little hands, and suddenly a cold wind blew in, which made me shiver and my teeth fight, and I felt like I was stuffed into an ice hole, and the situation was extremely painful.
At this time, I was a little scared, knowing that the little fool was going to kill me, so my head began to sweat and struggled to escape.
But I couldn't move, I could only sit there and watch, and then I saw Bai Xinghua pull my mother behind me, and then raised the dustpan in my hand and slapped it at the window, scolding while patting: "Get out, climb whose window is it, so uneducated!" ”
Not to mention, under Bai Xinghua's shot, the little fool was really kicked out, and then she closed the window and leaned the dustpan against the windowsill, which can be regarded as the solution to this misfortune.
After that, the little fool was not able to enter the room again, but I couldn't sit still, because I kept hearing her crying in the courtyard outside, crying and calling my name as she cried.
"Brother Yiji, you come out, why don't you play with me? Woo woo, I'm going to eat baked sweet potatoes, Brother Yiji-"
The little confused voice was heartbroken, and I was terrified and uneasy to hear, and I didn't know how long it lasted, until it was almost dawn, and the rooster crow sounded outside, which was considered to be quiet.
After that, I fell asleep completely, I don't know how long I slept, and when I woke up, it was already three poles of the sun, and the sky was bright.
After waking up, I found that my high fever seemed to have subsided a lot, and my body felt a lot more comfortable, I got up and looked in the room, and found that I was alone, my mother and Bai Xinghua were not there, they seemed to be busy making breakfast, and I could hear them talking outside.
I took a look around the room, and found that there was a broom behind the door, and a dustpan leaning against the windowsill, but the closet didn't know where it was, and there didn't seem to be anything in the room.
Just when I was wondering, I found a small half-open box on the small table at the head of the bed, the box was only the size of a fist, but the appearance was very familiar, déjà vu, and when I looked closely, I realized that it was none other than the closet I saw in my dream.
What's going on? Could it be that I was sitting in this little thing in my dreams? This thing is so small, how did I get in?
Just as I was wondering, the door was pushed open, and my mom walked in with a bowl of noodles, asked me how I felt, and asked me to eat some hot rice pads.
I was really hungry, so I picked up the noodles and began to eat them, and in the process, Bai Xinghua walked in with a semicircular white apron around her waist.
When she saw my appearance, she couldn't help but smile and said, "It's much better, it seems that there shouldn't be much more to do, and when you go home, you can do what I did last night, and you should be able to survive these few days." ”
Hearing Bai Xinghua's words, my mother couldn't help but be full of joy, and quickly got up and took Bai Xinghua's hand to thank her, but at this time, I was holding noodles in my hand, eating and eating, and I didn't know what was going on, but found that the bowl was not noodles, but a large ball of bloody hair, and I was actually stuffing those hairs into my mouth.
