It didn't take long for my grandfather to bring water from the well. In the past wells, we usually had a small bucket tied to the well rope, and for convenience and lightness, the small bucket was wrenched out of the well and then poured into a large bucket.

My grandfather didn't bring a big bucket at that time, but my grandfather untied the small bucket on the well rope and carried it under the big locust tree, and then tied it back when it was used up.

At this time, my grandfather had already placed all the objects to be used in front of Chen Hui, incense burners, incense sticks, paper money, wicker, yellow paper, etc.

In the carriage, my great-grandfather was talking to the middle-aged man in the green robe, and my grandmother couldn't hear a word of what he was saying. After my grandfather limped to bring the water, my grandmother hurriedly took her eyes back from the carriage.

My grandfather put the bucket next to my grandfather, turned around, and consciously took the lantern from my grandmother's hand and held Xinyangzi.

My grandfather squatted in front of the incense burner at this time, and after lighting the candle next to the incense burner, he picked up the three incense sticks on the yellow paper in front of the incense burner, lit the candle, stood up, and the incense stick was lightly attached to his forehead, and he bowed respectfully to the old locust tree three times.

After the incense stick was inserted into the incense burner, he picked up the pile of yellow paper in front of the incense burner, which had been counted just now, a total of nine. First pick up three and light them, burn them into ashes and throw them into the bucket, then pick up the remaining six, form a semi-arc in front of Chen Hui's feet, recite a few words silently, and light them one by one from left to right.

After the yellow paper has been burned, take the wicker that is placed on the edge of the incense burner, this wicker is fresh with leaves, and put the wicker horizontally in your hand and bow to the locust tree three times. After worshipping, he turned his hand and stirred the wicker in the bucket a few times, and when the wicker was completely soaked in water, he took it out of the bucket and shook his hand, and sprinkled the water stuck to it on Chen Hui's right shoulder.

My grandmother also often sprinkled people's bodies with wicker dipped in water to ward off evil spirits and ghosts, and knew the operation procedures, but she didn't know why she did it, that is, she didn't know why it was. Today, she finally figured it out.

After seeing the water on the wicker spilled out, the osmanthus sitting on Chen Hui's right shoulder hurriedly put his hands together to catch it, and he didn't know if he had caught a few drops, so he picked it up and sent it to his mouth, looking very hungry and thirsty.

My grandfather sprinkled it again, and she went to pick it up again, and then sent it to her mouth, and so on three times.

Look at the osmanthus again, the whole person is a lot of spirit, the previous kind of yin measurement, muddy state is gone, that feeling is similar to a normal person, my grandma suddenly realized, ghosts are single, in general, resentment is greater than reason, after the wicker dip in water and sprinkle out, they can temporarily sober up, restore some people's sanity, at this time, you can be like people, talk to them about conditions.

The wicker was put into the bucket, and my grandfather took out a piece of yellow paper from the baggage, pinched the edge of the yellow paper with both hands, stopped on the incense burner and smoked it a few times, then folded it in half, brushed it, and skillfully tore out a small paper figure. The paper figure is a little rough but very vivid, with arms and legs, about five inches in size from head to toe.

Then, he took out a ball of red rope from his baggage, which had been soaked in willow leaf water and had not been dipped in chicken blood. Stop on the incense burner again and smoke it, tie one end of the red rope to the right wrist of the paper figure (male left and female right), and the other end of the red rope passes under Chen Hui's armpit, hit the shoulder, tie a live buckle to Chen Hui's right shoulder, and then throw the paper figure into the bucket. Then, my grandfather dipped the wicker in water again, starting from the red rope on Chen Hui's right shoulder, the wicker dotted on the red rope, and soaked the red rope with the water on it little by little, so repeated several times, wet most of the time, my grandfather said in his mouth at this time: "Osmanthus, go down the rope." ”

As soon as my grandfather's voice fell, I saw that the osmanthus began to struggle, and it was so desperate that my grandmother was holding her fists and trying to force her.

Osmanthus is struggling desperately here, my grandfather and my grandfather can't see it, they can only see Chen Hui's entire right shoulder trembling violently, that is, the kind of tremor that mechanically lifts and lifts, people who don't know, think that Chen Hui is going crazy at this time.

It didn't take much effort, osmanthus struggled out of Chen Hui's shoulders as if she knew how to get out of her shell, stood on Chen Hui's shoulders, looked at my grandmother, smiled happily, my grandmother's eyes were a little red, she breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the corners of her eyes.

However, Osmanthus's next move made my grandmother dumbfounded.

I saw Osmanthus raise her feet, as if juggling, stepping on the red rope and walking down from Chen Hui's shoulder step by step, until she walked to the bucket, and then bent down to look into the bucket, there was the little paper figure floating on the water, and she jumped up, her head down, and her whole body pierced into the bucket......

Seeing this scene, my grandmother was stunned, she had used this method more than once to help the ghosts draw their souls, but she never thought that the "truth" would be like this!

When I looked down into the bucket, I saw that the small paper figure that was originally floating in the bucket suddenly sank into the water like a float that had been bitten by a fish. Osmanthus tweed, at this time, actually became smaller, and the paper figure became one, the image is a little bit, like cutting the extra scenery, only a humanoid photo remains. Of course, my grandmother hadn't seen the picture at the time, and I added this to her.

My grandfather was also watching at this time, and when he saw the paper figure sinking into the water, he hurriedly untied the red rope that tied Chen Hui's shoulder, and lifted the paper figure out of the water with the red rope.

Yellow paper is very thin, especially the kind of yellow straw paper in the past, almost melts when it sees water, if the spell does not work at this time, the ghost is not attached to the paper figure, the paper man will rot in the water, or give the red rope a lift, the arm is lifted off, and the body is still soaked in the water.

My grandfather saw that the paper man was intact, smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the paper man: "Osmanthus, you suffered when you were alive, people are like this, who was born to enjoy happiness, I want to open a little, in the future, I will reincarnate a good family, and we will be a good girl and a good daughter-in-law in the next life......

My grandfather's words made the osmanthus on the paper figure nod constantly, and my grandmother looked sad and wanted to cry a little.

I took out two pieces of yellow paper from the baggage, and my grandfather clamped the paper figure up and down, sandwiched it between the two pieces of yellow paper, folded it a few times, and handed it to my grandmother. My grandmother hurriedly reached out and took it carefully into her arms.

Liu Guihua's matter is over here.

My grandfather raised his eyes and looked at Chen Hui, who was still unconscious, turned his head to my grandmother and said, "You ask Chen Hui's mother if she is willing to go, and if she is willing to go, she will be sent together." ”

My grandmother nodded, walked up to Chen Hui, and asked a few questions, but unexpectedly, the mother shook her head vigorously.

My grandmother turned around and shook her head.

My grandfather pondered for a moment and sighed, "People are destined, we are also human beings, everyone has their own blessings, everyone has their own suffering, we can't care so much, since Chen Hui's mother doesn't want to leave, we can't force it, when fate comes, there will naturally be results......"

My grandmother didn't understand my grandfather's words, but she understood the general meaning of my grandfather, that is, no longer care about Chen Hui's mother, everything is fate, fate originates and dies, and there will always be an end.

At that time, my grandmother blamed my grandfather for being unkind, and later she understood the true meaning of my grandfather's words, which is really that everyone has their own blessings, and everyone has their own fate.

Chen Hui was still in a coma, and the old Wang Ba was still dying, and my grandfather and my grandfather freed Chen Hui from the tree.

He took out incense sticks and yellow paper from the baggage, and my grandfather burned them under the old locust tree, and hugged his fist at the old locust tree, "Liu thanked the old locust fairy for helping today, now that the matter is over, Liu is about to leave." Saying that, my grandfather looked at Chen Hui, who was unconscious on the ground, and then said: "It's just that this kid, I still hope that Lao Huaixian will take care of him all night, and when he wakes up tomorrow, let him leave by himself." ”

At this time, my grandmother remembered the sachet she picked up at Chen Bald's house, and hurriedly took it out from her body and walked over to ask Chen Hui's mother.

Chen Hui's mother glanced at it and said that the sachet contained a lock of her hair and a few locust seeds. This is when she was pregnant with Chen Hui, she dreamed of a man with green hair and green beard, the man asked her to make it for Chen Hui, and after she woke up from the dream, a few locust seeds were placed next to her pillow.

When my grandmother heard this, she gently put the sachet into Chen Hui's hand......

Until now, many people will go to the old locust tree to pick up locust seeds as a protective bag, do not dare to use a bamboo pole to knock on the tree, can only wait for the locust seeds to fall out of the pod, hit the ground to pick up, I also took several years when I was a child, grandma to the old locust tree to give me a begging.

At this time, the middle-aged man in the green robe, who was chatting with my grandfather in front of the carriage, sat back on the big branch with the highest canopy, and nodded at my grandfather with a smile, as if he had agreed to my grandfather's request.

Afterwards, a few people cleaned up the objects on the ground, and bowed respectfully to the old locust tree before leaving.

When I got back to the carriage, my grandmother looked into the carriage and saw that the little old man sitting in the carriage, my great-grandfather, the burly Taoist, and the big tail on the horse's back were all gone.

My grandmother wondered, who were all these people who were guarding them, except for my great-grandfather?

"That little old man, is it Grandpa's master Wang Shoudao? That burly Taoist, could it be Xinyangzi's master Qingshi Daoren? The woman with big eyes, big tail, and red dress, is that the red fox? ”

"It's not uncommon for a fox to become a fine protector, but grandpa, as well as grandpa's master, Xinyangzi's master, they are all mortals, and they are just ghosts after death, can they have such great ability?"

"Could it be that grandpa is really a legend in the mouths of the common people, the reincarnation of the Golden Armor Heavenly God?"

Thinking of this, my grandmother couldn't help but glance at my grandfather, who was closing his eyes in the carriage at this time, "Could it be that my father ...... Is it really the reincarnation of the six-armed Nezha? ”

On the way home, my grandmother had been thinking about it, and finally, she thought of the countless scary little heads on the old locust tree, and the countless pairs of scary, blinking little eyes. Those heads, if they look like they are usually leaves, why do they look like they are all heads after opening the eyes? It's still so scary.

My grandmother couldn't help but want to ask my grandfather......
