Chapter 154: Mother and Son Connect Heart
My grandfather has a bad premonition in his heart, this is the time to eat at noon, it is impossible for no one at home, Li Sheng's leg injury is not completely healed, it is impossible to walk around as soon as he goes home, and before leaving yesterday, my grandfather gave Li Sheng more than a dozen oceans, even if he does not go to work for three or five months, he will not be hungry.
My grandfather waved his hand to my grandfather, "Don't shout, let's go in and have a look." ”
Not only was the door of the courtyard open, but the door was also open, and the three of us entered together. There are no furnishings in it, it is very simple, but the whole thing looks clean and tidy.
There is also a small suite, like Li Sheng's bedroom, there is a coarse cloth curtain hanging at the door, my grandfather walked over and lifted the curtain to look inside, turned around and shook his head at my grandfather and my grandmother, there is really no one at home.
My grandmother walked to the stove in the southeast and looked at it, the stove was cold, and the ashes in it were all old ashes, and it seemed that Li Sheng had not used the stove to cook since he returned home.
My grandfather said: "I'm afraid this Li Sheng went out as soon as he got home yesterday, and he hasn't come back until now, and he left in a hurry, and he didn't even bring the door." ”
"The wound on his leg hasn't healed yet, where will he go?" My grandfather asked.
"There's only one place to go." Saying that, my grandfather sighed, "Good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts." ”
"Dad, you mean he went to the old mansion?" My grandmother asked.
My grandfather nodded, with a little helplessness in his words, "This kid is in a hurry to come back, in fact, he just wants to see the female ghost, I persuaded him so many times, he didn't listen to it once, let's go, go to the old mansion and have a look." ”
The three of my grandfather left Li Sheng's house and soon came to the old house, which was as messy as ever.
After getting out of the carriage, my grandfather went straight to the place where the corpse was buried in the yard, and saw from a distance that the soil there had been cut open, and his heart sank.
My grandfather stood on the edge of the pit and stomped his feet fiercely, depressed to death.
"Dad, what are we going to do now?" My grandmother asked him softly.
My grandfather turned his head to look at my grandmother, didn't speak, reached out and groped in his arms, and soon, he took out a coarse cloth roll from his arms, more than half a foot long and the thickness of his wrist. Open the coarse cloth roll, inside is a ginger wood little figure, this little man is a little bigger than the one given to Li Sheng before, more than three inches tall, the carving and style are almost the same, the only difference is that this little man actually has hair on the top of his head, and his hair is black and thick to cover his ears and shoulders.
My grandmother asked curiously, "Dad, is this what you call 'mother'?" ”
My grandfather nodded.
"What is this 'Mother and Son Heart' for?" My grandmother asked again.
My grandfather took the mother of the wooden man in his hand and smiled faintly, "For looking for ghosts, as long as you put the 'son' on the ghost, the 'mother' can sense it, the heavier the ghost's yin qi, the greater the chance of finding it." As he spoke, my grandfather changed the conversation, "That maid ghost's yin qi is extremely heavy, if Li Sheng is really with her now, then the 'son' is not on her, and the 'mother' in my hand can also be found." ”
Saying that, my grandfather pinched the legs of the little man's mother with one hand, and gently stroked the little man's mother's hair with the other hand, and at the same time, he recited a mantra that my grandmother didn't understand, and after the mantra was recited, my grandpa just stroked the little man's hair six times, and finally put the little man in front of his eyes and asked, tell me, where is your son?
Before my grandfather's voice fell, the wooden man's mother actually slowly raised an arm.
At this time, my grandmother found out that the two arms of the wooden man's mother were actually able to move, one arm could twist back and forth 180 degrees, and the left and right arms were just 360 degrees, no matter which direction the wooden man's son was in, the wooden man's mother could accurately point out.
At this time, Mu Ren'er's mother's right arm pointed straight to the south, in order to determine the accuracy, my grandfather turned Mu Ren'er's mother's body downward, and as the body turned, Mu Ren'er's mother's arm moved in parallel, always pointing to the south direction.
"Due south, without further ado." My grandfather said that, and walked towards the gate of the old house with his mother in tow, and my grandmother and my grandfather hurriedly followed him.
After leaving the old house, I didn't take a carriage, my grandmother accompanied my grandfather to walk in front, and my grandfather led the carriage behind.
My grandmother looked at the wooden figure in my grandfather's hand, full of love, after all, my grandmother was still young at this time, a little childlike, while walking pestering my grandfather to ask the origin of "son and mother heart".
My grandfather didn't want to say it at first, but he couldn't stand my grandmother's stalking and spoiling, and finally my grandfather told my grandmother that this device is not very good, not only is it not good, but it is also a bit miserable and evil.
While walking, my grandfather explained to my grandmother that this "heart-to-heart" is made with a pair of mother-son souls that have never met before, what does it mean to "never meet"? To put it simply, the mother who gave birth to a child died and was not able to look at the child before she died, and at the same time, the child died before she opened her eyes after being given birth to her mother, which is "mother and child who have never met".
At this time, some people who were not right-minded and knew how to spell strange doors, did not wait for their souls to leave their bodies, and immediately put their souls into the wooden figures and trapped them, and then stored them separately, not even giving them the opportunity to see their souls after death, and smeared the blood of the dead baby on the top of the wooden son's head and the soles of his feet. The mother of the wooden man is not only smeared with the blood of the dead mother, but also cut off a strand of the mother's hair, and then cast the magic of the mother and the head together, after the completion of the sacrifice, find a secret place to hide, and take out the mother of the wooden man after 100 days, if the sacrifice is successful, the hair will drill into the top of the head of the mother of the wooden, and it looks like the wood man has grown hair, on the contrary, it is believed that the sacrifice failed, and it is very likely to be caused by the lack of resentment of the dead mother.
When my grandfather finished talking about the "heart-to-heart" approach, the love in my grandmother's eyes was gone, and not only that, but she also looked disgusted.
My grandmother asked my grandfather how he could take such an evil thing from his friend.
My grandfather explained to my grandmother that his friend was not right, saying that it was given to him by that friend, but in fact, he took it from his friend after hearing others talk about the refining method of 'son and mother connecting hearts', and for so many years, he has been trying to find a way to release the souls of this mother and son from the wooden figures, but he has not been able to find a way.
My grandmother asked, "Doesn't your friend know?" ”
My grandfather was helpless, "If I knew, I wouldn't have to keep them until now, because of this, I broke one of my friend's arms." ”
My grandmother asked, "Why are you using them this time?" ”
My grandfather was silent for a while, "Since I got them, I have thought of many ways, but I have never used them, I have been wondering, can I find a way to use them, this time, just an opportunity......"
Before I knew it, the three of my grandfather had walked out of the village along the route pointed out by the wooden mother.
My grandfather raised his eyes and looked ahead, and immediately frowned, and said to himself, no.
My grandmother asked him what was wrong, and my grandfather said that there was a river embankment further on.
The three of them continued to walk in the direction pointed by the wooden mother, and finally really came to the river, standing on the embankment, the three of them were dumbfounded, there was no road ahead, could it be that Li Sheng crossed the river with the female ghost?
Just when my grandfather was hesitating whether to find a boat to cross the river, a fishing boat came over on the river, and my grandfather just wanted to tell my grandmother to negotiate the price with the boat boss later, to see if they could cross the river, at this time, the wooden mother in her hand actually pointed her arm straight at the boat.
The fishing boat quickly came to shore, and my grandfather stayed on the embankment to wait, and my grandfather took my grandmother down the embankment and walked towards the fishing boat. #~@@
When I walked not far from the fishing boat, I heard a cry on the boat, and I saw a man in his early thirties walking out of the canopy with a child in his arms.
Because they hadn't come to the front yet, my grandfather and my grandmother couldn't figure out what had happened to them, but the arm of the wooden mother's mother pointed at the man holding the child and moved slowly, as if the wooden man's son was on the man, but the man was a living person, and the wooden man's son had no effect on a living person.
The man holding the child and the woman behind him wept and lost their souls and got off the boat, and my grandfather and my grandmother quickened their pace and walked not far in front of them. At this time, the arm of the wooden mother was still pointing at the man, my grandmother glanced at the wooden mother, the wooden mother's arm suddenly lowered, and pointed the arm to the child in the man's arms, my grandmother hurriedly pulled the corner of my grandfather's clothes, and whispered: "Dad, look at the child in the man's arms, the wooden son seems to be on the child." ”
At this time, my grandfather and my grandmother were only seven or eight steps away from the man, and my grandfather squinted his eyes and glanced at the child in the man's arms, the child seemed to be asleep, but his face was pale, and then he looked at the body, his stomach was very big, and the clothes on his body looked wet.
My grandfather hurriedly grabbed my grandmother, "You wait here, I'll go over and see it alone, the child seems to be a dead drifter fished out of the river." ”
My grandmother's face changed when she heard this, and she immediately stopped where she was, although my grandmother was not afraid of ghosts, she was afraid of seeing dead people.
At this moment, the arm of the wooden mother moved again, pointing straight at one of the child's hands, and my grandfather walked a few steps to the man, and looked at the child's hand, and the wooden man's son was actually holding the child's hand tightly...... -The Last Ghost Hunter-
