However, at the moment, if this is really Yu Jiajia's second boyfriend, then he is equivalent to a drowned ghost, and this problem comes, because there are not many drowned ghosts ashore, and they generally only look for substitute dead ghosts in the waters of the area where they drowned, and only after finding substitute ghosts can they have a chance to go ashore.

I turned back to Qiang Shun and said, "You look at him here first, and I'll ask Yu Jiajia's father." ”

Qiang Shun looked horrified, "You can hurry up." ”

When I came to the living room, Yu Jiajia's father honestly held the teacup at the door and walked to him, before I could ask him, he asked me first, "Master Liu, when can I put down the cup?" ”

I said: "Don't let it go yet, the reason why the paper man will move has now been found, let me ask you, the boyfriend who Jiajia drowned, has the place been inquired?"

"I found out."

"Where?"

"Tagang Reservoir, in the mountains to the north, is seventy or eighty kilometers away from us."

I nodded, and then asked, "Did he drown anyone after he drowned?" ”

Yu Jiajia's father was stunned, "It seems that there is no more, I heard my friend say that the reservoir has drowned him in the past few years." ”

I frowned suddenly, this is a bit too much to say, if Yu Jiajia's boyfriend didn't find a substitute for the dead ghost, then why did he go ashore and run to Yu Jiajia's house?

Gritted his teeth, and thought about it, don't think about it so much now, stop him first, I asked Yu Jiajia's father to take down the teacup above his head, put one finger into the tea to test the temperature, and then shouted twice to the utility room and called Qiang Shun out.

"You come over and help Mr. Yu hold the teacup for a while."

When Qiang Shun heard this, he immediately looked unhappy, walked over and took the teacup in Yu Jiajia's father's hand and stood at the door.

I said to Yu Jiajia's father, "You go to the kitchen and find me four bowls and put them at the door of the utility room." ”

Yu Jiajia's father hurriedly went to the kitchen to find a bowl, and as soon as I turned around, I went back to the utility room.

In the utility room, next to the three paper figures, there are some other items that I asked Yu Jiajia's father to prepare, including a bowl of rice and a bowl of millet.

After Yu Jiajia's father brought the bowl to the door of the utility room, I asked him to get a kettle and bucket or something, and bring the pot of cold water.

Yu Jiajia's father hurriedly turned around and left, and while he was in the kitchen to fetch water, I poured the rice from the big bowl into four small bowls on average.

After a while, Yu Jiajia's father came back with a thermos pot, saying that there was no kettle or bucket at home, so he poured out the hot water in the thermos pot and took a pot of cold water, and asked me if I could do it.

I said something in my mouth, no, but I quickly took the thermos pot in Yu Jiajia's father's hand, poured half a bowl of cold water into the four bowls, and the water surface ended above the height of the rice in it by one inch, and then returned the thermos pot to Yu Jiajia's father, and told him to hurry up and boil the water, the cup of tea at the door could not be cold.

Yu Jiajia's father turned around and left again, and I brought the four bowls into the utility room.

This utility room is a small room, that is, what is now said to be a children's room or a baby room, the space is not large, I put the four water bowls in the four corners of the room, back to the three paper figures, and take the wormwood and sorghum stalks prepared before with stems and leaves, starting from the southeast corner, wormwood dipped in the rice water in the bowl, sprinkled around the bowl, and then dig a sorghum stalk, one and a half inches long, standing and inserting into the bowl, the sorghum stalk requires half an inch into the rice, one inch is exposed outside, and the water surface is level. This can't be inserted under normal circumstances, because the sorghum stalk is very buoyant, and it will float up if it is inserted, but it can be inserted in special circumstances. The sorghum stalk itself belongs to the yang, but once it encounters the yin qi, it will become sinking, friends in the countryside may not be unfamiliar with the sorghum stalk, or you may have never paid attention to it, but where the sorghum grows in the back of the yang place, the texture is a little heavier than the sorghum that grows in the Chaoyang place, by the way, there is also the sorghum that grows on the grave, the texture is also very heavy.

At this time, there is a water ghost in the utility room, and the yin qi is extremely heavy, and the sorghum stalk can be easily inserted into the water bowl.

Insert the northeast corner, as you say, then the northeast corner, sprinkle water, insert sorghum stalks, and then the southwest corner and the northwest corner.

When I was done, I went back to the living room, took out a piece of yellow paper under the coffee table, looked around, there was nothing suitable to be a brazier, and finally walked to their balcony, where there were a few pots of flowers, and the leaves had long since fallen off, and only the rods were left.

At this time, Yu Jiajia's father was still boiling water in the kitchen, so I shouted and asked him if he could use the flower pot on the balcony.

I immediately plucked the flowers from one of the pots, poured out the soil inside, and made do with the brazier.

Take the yellow paper flower pot to the utility room again, the flower pot is placed in the middle of the utility room, the yellow paper is torn into dozens of small pieces, and the paper man who will move before is facing north, and the back is rushed south in front of the flower pot, I squatted on the other side of the flower pot, that is, opposite the paper man, lit a piece of yellow paper, and after throwing the flower pot, the paper man shouted softly, come and collect your money.

When the yellow paper is burned, get up and look at the sorghum stalks in the four water bowls, the sorghum stalks in the four water bowls are all standing well, and then burn another one, and the paper puncher shouts, come and collect your money, and then don't wait for the yellow paper to burn, and then look at the sorghum stalks in the water bowl.

In this way, I burned five pieces of yellow paper, shouted five times, went to see the sorghum stalks in the bowl, and the sorghum stalks in the northeast corner floated on the water, and when I came back and shouted again, after shouting five or six times, the ones in the northwest corner also floated up, and shouted less than ten times, and the southeast and southwest ones also floated up.

Seeing this, I walked quickly to the paper man covered with a black cloth next to him, took off the black cloth, turned around, and covered the paper man in front of the brazier, it doesn't matter if this mask is up, this paper man is like alive, "gotta" jumped down, I hurriedly took out the red head rope from his body, wrapped it around his shoulder three times, wrapped the black cloth firmly around it, and then gently patted it on the top of its head, "Be honest!" The paper man immediately stopped moving, because his center of gravity was unstable, and he threw himself on the ground.

At this time, I heard Yu Jiajia's father shouting in the kitchen: "The water is boiling, do you want to add some hot water to the teacup?" ”

I helped the paper man up from the ground and replied to him, "No need, go and call your daughter and your lover in, the ghost caught the ......" After thinking about it, I hurriedly shouted again: "Don't tell them that the ghost is caught, don't scare them, just say that the paper figure is done and will not move again." ”

Then, I squeezed the punctured finger, and it was too long to bleed, so I had to take out a needle and prick it again, and write a cover on the top of the paper man's head with a black cloth.

Looking at the electronic watch on my wrist, it was already a little past, and I hadn't eaten dinner yet, and as soon as I relaxed, my stomach rumbled.

Yu Jiajia returned home and went back to the room to sleep, Yu Jiajia's mother and the middle-aged man's wife went to the kitchen to work, cooked some food for us, fried a few dishes, don't forget, this is only the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, strictly speaking, the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Jiajia's family has a lot of things to eat for the New Year, the meal is very rich, Yu Jiajia's father took out two bottles of good wine, and we ate and drank like this.

Because it was an empty stomach, I felt that my internal organs were burning with fire after a glass of wine, and after a while, the alcohol was on my head, and I was dizzy.

Yu Jiajia's father asked me at this time, what is the matter with the paper man in the family this time, because of the strength of alcohol, I replied without concealment, it is the ghost of your daughter's second boyfriend, the drowned ghost, but now I have sealed it on the paper man, and I will send it away tomorrow at the place where he drowned.

Then I remembered something and asked Yu Jiajia's father if the boy's body had been fished up. Yu Jiajia's father said that he was caught on the day of drowning, and his parents took him home and buried it.

I nodded and said, "That's good, it's still a problem if the body isn't fished up."

Night, getting deeper and deeper, Qiang Shun and I drank too much, they have two beds in a room upstairs, that is Yu Jiajia's grandparents' bed, maybe because of the age, two people sleep in a bed is uncomfortable, so the bed is separated, at this time her grandparents went to his uncle's house for the New Year, the bed was empty, Yu Jiajia's mother laid a bunk cover for us, and we slept upstairs in their house that night.

When I slept, it was almost three o'clock in the morning, I fell asleep after lying down for a while, I didn't feel like I slept for a while, I felt that something was wrong with my body, my body was very heavy, as if I had pressed something, my body couldn't move, I immediately woke up for more than half of it, and I made a lot of effort, and I found that someone was holding me with one arm, and the strength was quite big, and I made another effort, and dropped that arm, and suddenly sat up on the bed, and reached out to wipe the lamp rope at the head of the bed, and I didn't wipe it, why, I slept a little confusedI thought that in my own home, there was no such light rope in the seventies and eighties at all.

At this time, a voice came from my bed, "Huang He, don't move, tell me to hold you." ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately became angry and forced this bear child to climb into my bed.

I whispered, "What are you doing, go back to your bed!" ”

Qiang Shun said in a trembling voice: "I had a dream just now, it was so terrible that I didn't dare to sleep alone." ”

I was even more angry, "You should grow a little longer, the longer you grow, the more timid you become." ”

Qiang Shun said again: "That, that dream is really terrible. ”

I finally felt for the switch and turned the light on.

The bed was covered with a double quilt, Qiang Shun lay on the top of my bed, curled up in a circle, his head was also drilled under the quilt, as if he was frightened, he pushed him twice, but he couldn't get up, no way, I asked: "What are you dreaming about, look at how scared you like this." ”

After a pause, Qiang Shun got his head out of the quilt, looked at me and said, "I dreamed of ...... I dreamed that the paper figure covered with a black cloth for you turned into a living person, jumped to the door of Yu Jiajia's room, slammed the door with his head, and after a while, the head fell off, spurting blood, spraying, and spraying my face from the cavity......"

(Today's this, it's a draft, and I'll revise it tomorrow, today, I had a stomach ache all afternoon, but, I finally know why, I can't eat cold things, rice or water, it must be hot, and it can't be warm, and it should hurt if I can't stop for half an hour in my stomach, and I'll pay attention to it later.) ）
