At this time, I saw the old man rushing to the face in the big closet and said, "Second brother, don't be afraid, Dad brought someone to see you." ”

As soon as the old man's voice fell, the face in the closet slowly turned to the old man, the blister-like eyes blinked twice, looked at the old man, and then followed with blood-red lips, a long voice dragged on, and he spit out the words hoarsely: "You...... Be...... Who......? ”

The old man suddenly glanced at me with a bitter face, turned his head to the big closet and said, "Son, I am your father!" The old man's voice trembled when he heard it, and it made people feel a little distressed.

The face looked at the old man again, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't lie to me, you are here to seek revenge on me, you want my life......"

The old man suddenly said helplessly: "Child, no one wants your life, you can see clearly, I am your ......"

Before the old man could finish speaking, the door of the large closet slammed shut.

The old man sighed suddenly, turned his face to me, and said, "Little brother, you see, what do you say is the matter with my son?" ”

I licked my lips and said, "Looks like I've been scared by hitting something." Then I asked, "Does your son often walk at night?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't often walk at night, but he drives long distances, and he often drives at night." ”

I nodded and said, "He must have seen something when he was driving at night, and he scared his soul away." ”

The old man hurriedly asked, "What should I do?" ”

I said, "If this is a child, I'll find you a few places, and you can shout at the soul and come back, but he is an adult, so it's a little troublesome, and he has to find a crossroads to do a little ritual and summon the soul." ”

When the old man heard this, he grabbed my wrist again, and I obviously felt that his hands were trembling, "Little brother, no, little master, then hurry up and do something for the second child, I will prepare something for you, if you want money, you can say the number, I will give you as much as you want." ”

Money? As soon as I heard the old man's last two words, I didn't look at him very happily, why do you keep mentioning money to me, just because you have money in your family? Seriously, when I do errands for others, as soon as anyone mentions money to me, I feel that they are insulting me, and I will have an inexplicable disgust for this person in my heart.

I straightened my face and said to the old man: "Daye, the rule handed down by our ancestors is that you don't need money to show people, don't mention money to me anymore." After a while, I asked, "How long has your son been like this?" ”

The old man thought for a while and said: "It's been almost a month, I remember, he went out of the night train that day, and came back at four or five o'clock in the evening, usually he came back at seven or eight o'clock, I just got up that day to go to the toilet, I asked him, why did he come back so early today, who knew that he didn't even look at me, and went directly into their own house, I felt that his face was a little wrong." ”

The old man continued, "Later...... Until noon, the second daughter-in-law told me that the second daughter-in-law went to bed without even taking off her shoes when she came back, and until now she has been unable to wake up, is there something wrong, I followed the second daughter-in-law to their house to see, the second daughter was lying on the bed, his eyes were closed, his face was white like flour, strange and scary, I told the second daughter-in-law, whether the second child was sick, you quickly called the old Hu from the village health center to take a look. The second daughter-in-law called Lao Hu here, Lao Hu gave the second child a pulse, said that it was a foreign evil into the body, and pricked the second child with two needles, these two needles really worked, and the second child woke up, but after waking up, it became like this, Lao Hu wanted to give him another pulse, who knew that he kicked Lao Hu over, and said that Lao Hu came to him to ask for his life, what kind of ghost Lao Hu is, Lao Hu is older than me, where can he be able to kick it like this, after I helped Lao Hu up from the ground, Lao Hu told me, your son is not a real disease, Hurry up and look for those who see the ill. ”

"I don't believe what Lao Hu said, after Lao Hu left, I asked my son what was going on, the second daughter-in-law was also there at the time, the second child still ignored me, and when he saw his daughter-in-law rushing up, he beat him, or what did he say, looking for him to beg for his life, what kind of begging ghost is his daughter-in-law, he doesn't recognize people at all...... In the end, I ran out of the house with my second daughter-in-law and locked my second daughter-in-law in the house, and the second daughter-in-law was frightened and went back to her parents' house crying......"

The old man let out a long sigh as he said this.

The old man sighed, I frowned here, according to the old man, his son doesn't seem to have lost his soul, the average adult loses his soul, he is weak, his limbs are weak, and in serious cases, he will hang his head in a daze and remain motionless, and he will not respond to his name, and he can still reach out and raise his feet to beat people, which is almost impossible for people who have lost their souls.

I wondered again, could it be something attached? But it doesn't look like it, the person who attaches it to the thing, the eyes are generally red, and there is a layer of irrational turbidity in a pair of eyes, and the old man's son's eyes are like two blisters, and the clarity is a little too much, neither like a lost soul, nor like possession, so what could it be?

I said to the old man: "Daya, listening to you say this, your son's situation is a bit complicated, I'm afraid it doesn't seem like a loss of soul, otherwise, you tell me the location of the camel's house, and when I finish dealing with the camel's affairs, calm down and deal with your son's affairs." ”

When the old man heard this, his face looked a little unnatural, and he said: "Little master, even if my old man begs you still can't do it, you can save my son first, that old saying is good, save the life or not, how many years has the camel been dead, can't you wait first." ”

What the old man said is not unreasonable, but at this time it is not urgent to deal with his son's affairs, the ghosts of Lao Tian and their father and daughter are now sealed in our home, my family's homestead is special, it is not good for them to be sealed for a long time, and there is a camel here, he will definitely come out to toss tonight, there is nothing wrong with our family, what should the Qiangshun family do, yesterday it was sprinkled with incense ash and pulled the red line for the Qiangshun family, but that is all temporary emergency use, not a long-term solution, the camel's matter, must be dealt with first.

I thought about it for a while, and said to the old man: "Daya, I will definitely take care of your son's affairs, but let's always have a first-come-first-served arrival, you just queue up to buy things, and you can't add it to others as soon as you come up, you say yes?" ”

When the old man heard me say this, he stopped talking, and waved his hand to me and Qiang Shun to leave his son's room.

The three of them returned to the living room, and the old man pulled the two cans of beer on the coffee table open, and forced them into the hands of me and Qiang Shun, and then turned around, and took out a box of good cigarettes from somewhere, and handed one to each of us, but he didn't smoke it himself.

At this time, I was holding someone's beer in one hand and someone's cigarette in the other, and I didn't know what to say, and I also knew that the old man was not particularly happy now.

I was thinking about what to tell the old man, but the old man suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Zhong, just according to what you said, you get the camel first, and my son's business will wait, but ......" The old man looked at me suspiciously, "My son, can you really do it?" ”

The old man relented first, I looked at the old man and smiled very easily, and said, "Daya, since I learned these things in our family, I haven't encountered anything that I can't do." I paused for a moment and said, "If I really can't do it, I'll bring my grandmother here, he passed on all my skills, and she doesn't show people now, but as soon as she comes, I promise to solve it for your son in three or two clicks." ”

Subsequently, I told the old man all about which village I belonged to, what its name was, including who my grandmother was, who my grandmother was called "White Fairy Gu", and so on.

What I said was very honest and to the point, the old man could see that I was not talking nonsense, and after I finished introducing myself, the old man suddenly seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and immediately said to me: "You don't have to go to the camel and his wife, I am in charge, you go to dig the camel's grave, and I will say it to the camel lady." ”

When I heard the old man's words, I hesitated. In other words, can he really call the shots? What if we are planing here, and his blind old lady does not agree, and runs to the cemetery to cry and make trouble, crying is still a trivial matter, what if we report the case directly? From ancient times to the present, anyone who digs up graves is a felony, and I don't know how the current law is, but it will definitely not be spared if caught.

After thinking about it, I cautiously asked, "Daya, can you really call the shots?" If the camel lady doesn't agree, the two of us will have a big problem. ”

When the old man heard this, he asked rhetorically: "Little master, can't you trust me, an old man?" ”

I hurriedly shook my head, and the old man said again: "Otherwise, when do you say when to plan, I'll go to the village to find someone to plane for you." ”

I was stunned for a moment, blinked my eyes twice, the old man went to their village to find someone to dig the grave, this is perverse, if I and Qiang Shun just went to plan, their village people saw it, someone will definitely come to ask, they asked us what to say, if the old man is looking for their village people to plan, this is equivalent to being above board, that is, their village people see it, and we can talk.

I immediately turned my head to look out of the house, the sun was still high in the sky, and while it had not yet come down, I could call a few people to dig out the body of the camel, and save me any evil things from digging the grave at night.

Without further ado, after drinking beer and smoking, I asked the old man to lead us out, and after a while, the old man called out a few people in the village, although these people were a little older, the youngest looked like they were in their fifties, and the oldest felt about the same age as the old man, but it was still no problem for them to dig a grave at this age. The old man then told them that they should all go home and get iron pickaxes and do some work in the wheat fields in the north of the village.

The old man led us back to their house again, and also took a pair of iron drills, and it seemed that he was going to go too, so I asked the old man, don't you go and talk to the camel lady? The old man waved his hand, needless to say, it will only make his mother feel more uncomfortable, and I will explain to them later, don't go out to talk about it, let's just do it.

I thought about it, okay, if I tell the camel mother, your son has turned into evil, we are now going to dig his grave and dry his corpse, what will his old lady feel like?

A few people gathered in the north of their village, and the old man took the head, and we came to the lonely grave of the camel, and on the way to come, the old man told these people about the matter simply, perhaps because of the age of these people, they could still accept it. In our rural areas, especially in the early days of liberation, this kind of thing is very common, generally ghosts turn into evil, the corpse is not rotten, this kind of ghost is much more powerful than those lonely ghosts, generally harm their own home first, and then harm other people's homes, but this kind of ghost weakness is also very big, as long as the grave is dug open for him, the body is given to him to dry, he will be honest immediately. Our country is now implementing cremation, to be honest, in fact, it is also to put an end to this in the dark.

The book is brief, several people worked together, and it took less than an hour to dig open the mound of sealed soil on the lonely grave, and saw a black lacquer coffin exposed under the ground, at this time the coffin had been buried in the soil for ten years, but it actually looked good. The old man said that when the camel died, their family was still very wealthy, and his father specially made a good coffin for the camel, and the tung oil was smeared over and over again, and finally three black paints were applied.

At this time, I let a few old men all hide to the side, I and Qiang Shun, one of them took a pickaxe, the "duck beak" of the pickaxe, a little bit squeezed into the coffin lid and the coffin body of the crack, and then the two people grabbed the pickaxe handle at the same time and screamed, just listen to the "crunch", the coffin lid loosened, and then, crunch, the coffin lid slowly pried open for us......
