So my great-grandfather asked the woman, "Sister, where is your house?" ”

The woman replied, "My family is in Xiaoyao Town, Xihua County. ”

My great-grandfather asked, "Do you want to take your daughter's soul back to your hometown?" ”

"Yes."

My great-grandfather nodded, Xiaoyao Town, Xihua County, my great-grandfather heard my great-grandmother's eldest brother say that it is more than 200 miles away from Weishi County, that is to say, what a woman wants to recruit is a "lonely soul", and she has to take the soul away.

Then my great-grandfather opened his baggage, looked at the objects he had brought, and squatted down again, looking for the big baggage that the man had left behind, and sighed with some embarrassment.

At this time, the woman asked my great-grandfather what he was looking for, and my great-grandfather said to her, "Since you are going to bring your daughter's soul home, the road is so far, your daughter's soul must be packed with things, or else it may be scattered on the road." ”

When the woman heard this, she looked a little puzzled, and muttered a sentence in her mouth, "That gentleman said that I can bring my daughter's soul home with a spirit flag, why do I have to use something to pretend to ......" The woman hurriedly asked again: "What kind of thing do you want?" ”

My great-grandfather said, "A small jar is the best, and if you don't have a small jar, you can use a wooden gourd and a bamboo tube for water." ”

The woman hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes." ”

However, the woman asked my great-grandfather to accompany her to fetch it, because the whirlwind and the footprints had frightened her just now, and she did not dare to walk alone in the ruins at this time, and my great-grandfather nodded in agreement.

Then, the two of them brought the two candles on the ground, the woman walked in front with a candle, and my great-grandfather walked behind with the Shoufang sword, from the backyard of the Liang Mansion to the front yard.

At this time, my great-grandfather found that the woman seemed to be very familiar with the Liang Mansion, and even though she was buried in snow, she could still find her way through the burned ruins.

The two men came to the front yard, and walked about twenty steps to the northeast, and the woman stopped in front of a house that had been burned down and not serious. The woman said to my great-grandfather that there were many jars of rice and oil, and that one should be found that had not been destroyed by the fire.

With that, the woman walked around a small collapse at the door of the house and cautiously walked into the house. My great-grandfather followed her with a sword.

When I entered the room, my great-grandfather looked around by the faint candlelight of the woman's hand, and there was a stove, a half-burned shelves of pots and pans, and a mess of kitchen utensils, all of which had been blackened by the fire.

My great-grandfather asked the woman suspiciously, "Big sister, this should have been a kitchen in the past, right?" ”

"Yes." The woman replied casually, and she was now placing the candle on an earthen platform, and was busy looking for something on it.

This made my great-grandfather suspicious, this woman was not only familiar with the environment in the Liang Mansion, but also with this kitchen, as if she were in her own home. This reminded my great-grandfather of the old mother who cooked in the Liang Mansion, and the old mother was also around forty years old, about the same age as the woman in front of her.

My great-grandfather thought about it, the woman dressed as a peasant woman in front of him couldn't be the old mother who disappeared in the Liang Mansion, otherwise, why would she be so familiar with this place?

My great-grandfather thought about it, but he didn't move, stood behind the woman with a sword, and asked tentatively: "Big sister, you used to be from this mansion, right?" ”

When the woman heard this, her body was shocked, and she immediately stopped her movements and looked back at my great-grandfather, "No. ”

"Then I see you're familiar with this place, haven't you been here before?" My great-grandfather asked tentatively again.

The woman smiled lightly at my great-grandfather and said, "Sir, don't ask so much, as long as I can bring back my daughter's soul, just give you money." ”

When my great-grandfather saw that the woman refused to speak, he didn't ask any further questions, and he was more sure of his opinion.

Think about the mandala flowers found in the garden before, and then look at the tragic situation of Liang Mansion at this moment, if it is really the old mother of Liang Mansion who poisoned and set fire, if the woman in front of him is really that old mother. My great-grandfather said in his heart, then this woman has to be on guard, but if the woman in front of her is really that old mother, this is a bit unreasonable, does she still have a daughter in the Liang Mansion? Why haven't I heard the second brother talk about it?

After a while, the woman found a palm-sized porcelain vase on the table, turned around and handed it to my great-grandfather, "Sir, do you think this bottle is missing?" ”

My great-grandfather took the porcelain vase and looked at it, the thin neck round belly white porcelain vase, the bottle body has a pattern, there is a wooden stopper on it, open the stopper and look at it, very good, empty, at this time from the mouth of the bottle wafted out a light sesame fragrance, it seems that this porcelain bottle was used to hold sesame oil before.

My great-grandfather nodded, and stuffed the porcelain bottle into the baggage, "Medium, this little bottle is in the middle." ”

As he spoke, my great-grandfather changed the conversation and said, "Yes, big sister, there are still a few things, I have to ask clearly, and you have to tell me honestly, otherwise, your daughter's soul is not easy to recruit." "My great-grandfather said at this time, "It's not good to summon spirits", but it was actually an excuse, and he wanted to say a few words about this woman.

"What's the matter, sir, may I ask." The woman did not perceive my great-grandfather's true intentions, and judging by the expression on her face, she was only puzzled by why this "gentleman" had so many questions.

My great-grandfather thought for a moment and asked her, "What's your daughter's name?" I have to say that the big name is not good, but the small name is not good. ”

The woman hesitated for a moment and replied: "Before my daughter was ten years old, her name was Hu Xiaohui, and after she was sold to the traffickers in the Liang Mansion, she was called Liang Xiuxiu......"

"Liang Xiuxiu?" When my great-grandfather heard this, he was shocked, and immediately felt that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.

My great-grandfather sorted out his thoughts and asked, "Then how old is your daughter this year?" Was it burned in this fire? ”

As soon as my great-grandfather asked, the woman's eyes immediately turned red, her voice was sad, and there was a hint of hatred, "I, my girl is sixteen years old this year, and she is strangled to death...... After speaking, she actually cried.

The woman's answer made my great-grandfather and second monk more and more confused. He had the heart to ask something more, but when he saw that the woman was already crying silently, he had to swallow the words back.

Then my great-grandfather comforted the woman, and when the woman stopped crying, the two of them left the kitchen and went back to the backyard.

Although there are many doubts about this woman, but her feelings for her daughter are true, who is careless and repays Sanchunhui, just rush to this point, my great-grandfather no matter whether she is a good person or a bad person, is determined to help her bring back his daughter's soul.

Temporarily abandoning the suspicions and doubts in my heart, my great-grandfather took advantage of the incense burner, incense, burning paper and other objects left by the previous man, put the previous two candles back on both sides of the incense burner, and began to summon the soul of the woman's daughter.

My great-grandfather first lit an incense stick and inserted it into the incense burner, and when the incense burned a section of incense ashes, he caught it with his hand, and asked the woman to pinch a handful of snow from the ground, put it in her hand and turn it into water, and then give it to him.

Then my great-grandfather mixed the ashes into a lump of wet mud with snow water, and asked the woman to take out her daughter's belly pocket and press the incense plaster into the very center of the belly pocket.

My great-grandfather's practice, called "dot eye", after pressing the incense plaster on the belly pocket, if the ghost of the woman and the girl is nearby, you can see a small bright spot on the belly pocket, and the saliva or blood mixed with the incense ash of its relatives has the best effect.

At this time, as soon as the name of the woman's daughter is called, her daughter's soul will come to the little bright spot, which is similar in nature to the "soul-attracting lamp". This method is suitable for use in places where the yin qi is extremely heavy and there are many dead souls, and it can prevent other things from being called over.

After lighting the "eye", my great-grandfather drew a circle on the ground with his fingers, put some paper money in the circle, and after lighting the paper money, let the woman renew the paper money in the circle while calling her daughter to come and "collect the money".

"Xiuxiu, come and collect your money...... Mother sent you money, come and collect your money......"

Draw a circle to burn paper, shout the name of the dead while burning, and the dead ghosts will be able to take money in the circle, if you don't draw a circle, these paper money will be like ownerless things, and those lonely souls and wild ghosts will run over to grab the money when they see it. Friends who have been to cemeteries and burned paper money for deceased relatives must know something about this.

The dirty things that appeared next to the woman before, one part of the reason may be related to not drawing circles when burning paper money, and they all came to grab money.

After the woman shouted a few times, my great-grandfather asked her to take her daughter's belly pocket and circle around the burning paper money while continuing to shout.

"Xiuxiu, come back...... Mother is here, let's go home with my mother......"

As for my great-grandfather, at this time he carried the Shoufang sword to protect the woman, and his eyes glanced into the fire and belly pocket from time to time.

Just after the woman shouted about a dozen times, a cold wind blew from nowhere, not fast, but against the ground, the snow on the ground rolled with the wind, and the waves rushed towards the woman, and at the same time, the two candles next to the incense burner swayed left and right irregularly, and the flames flickered and dimmed.

Seeing this scene, the woman trembled with fright, and her voice trembled a little. My great-grandfather hurriedly put away the Shoufang sword at this time, and reminded the woman in a low voice, "This is your daughter, don't be afraid, what's the matter." ”

Immediately afterwards, the pile of burning paper was blown by the cold wind, and the piles of paper money crackled and flickered in the fire, as if someone was pulling the bellows and blowing on it, and it was visible to the naked eye that the burning speed was accelerated several times.

In the middle of the beard, all the paper money in the circle was burned, and the paper ashes with sparks were blown out of the circle by the wind and swirled into the surrounding snow.

At this moment, a piece of paper ash in the shape of a butterfly flew lightly towards the woman, and after circling around the woman, it landed on the belly pocket of the woman's hand
