These words made the child's father look at my grandmother, stunned for a long time, and finally came back to his senses and said, "I look, I look at this child, no one looks like ......"

My grandmother nodded, and then she heard that there were people in our village, and the children were wives and wild men, and I didn't believe them." ”

My grandmother nodded again, and with these two sentences, I could already conclude that this was a loyal and honest man with no heart. My grandmother asked him again, "This kid can't be where you picked it up, right?" ”

Dayou hurriedly shook his head, "Why do you hug you, we don't have a place to hug it, this is my daughter-in-law's birth, on the day I gave birth, I was waiting in the outer room." ”

This made my grandmother very confused.

Less than seven months pregnant, the child was born, that's all, after a lifetime, there were still things around him, his mother often had nightmares, and he looked no different from his parents. Thinking about all of the above, it's hard to understand.

Our family's crafts are very passive, there is no kind of asking a god to ask what's going on, or relying on their own Taoism, mana or something to see and calculate, we can only judge according to the experience and experience left by our predecessors, and then combine the actual situation to make a rough inference ourselves. But at the moment, it seems that no inference can be made.

In the end, my grandmother had no choice, so she beckoned their mothers to come to the platform outside the temple, and said to them: "I will pass you a ...... to protect the child", and asked Xinyang to find a pair of scissors, there are no scissors in Xinyang Guan, only a cutter for cutting yellow paper. My grandmother, as long as the knife is fast, the knife can also be cut.

The couple didn't know what my grandmother wanted to do, and their faces turned a little pale.

After the cutter was brought, my grandmother used the cutter to make the baby's mother, Jane, stand still. Several people looked at the not-so-sharp knife in my grandmother's hand and were nervous.

My grandmother walked around behind Jane, raised her cutter and cut off a strand of hair the thickness of her thumb behind Jane's head, more than four inches long.

When the cutter was returned to Xinyang, my grandmother took out a red head rope from her body, wrapped the strand of hair around it, then mixed the two ends of the hair together, and then wrapped the red head rope, and finally wrapped it into a ring-shaped bracelet.

This is called a "hair bracelet".

It stands to reason that a pair is the best, the father's hair is wrapped around the child's bracelet on the left wrist, and the mother's is on the right wrist, as long as it is the biological parents', it can protect the child from evil.

However, my father's hair was short enough to make a bracelet, so my grandmother could only teach them this method, so that they could grow their hair and cut it off and make it themselves.

After making a hair bracelet and bringing it to the child's right wrist, the child, who had been crying in his grandmother's arms, stopped crying after a while.

Later, my grandmother cut off a strand of hair from Jane's mother's head, that is, the child's grandmother's head, and made another bracelet for Jane, but on the red head rope around the bracelet, the head, tail, and middle were dripping with a large amount of finger blood. Then explain to them that once the bracelet has a strange smell, it will be burned with fire, and it will be made again, and within half a year, the ghost around the child will leave because he can't get close to the child's body. My grandmother, it's simple and effective, and it doesn't hurt ghosts or living people.

Dayou and his wife thanked my grandmother so much and left with the baby in their arms.

Time flickered, months passed, and it was the autumn of 1948.

At noon that day, my grandmother came home from the work in the field, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Xinyang visiting again, and it was still the child's business.

Xinyang, since the mother and the two wore hair bracelets, the mother no longer has nightmares, and the child is the same as other children, normal, but their house is in trouble again.

At the end of summer, an old hen in their house hugged the nest, hatched a litter of chickens, the chickens had just been raised to half a year, all died overnight, brought a yellow dog from the neighbor's house, died that night, the last few days have been more powerful, in the middle of the night, you can hear the cry of a child in the yard, the child is crying, while shouting the name of the two children of the couple, occasionally shouting the father, terrible death.

The child's father was so bold that when he went into the courtyard, there was no one at all, but when he entered the house with his front feet, he shouted again in the courtyard with his back feet.

The family is restless, and now the child's mother, Jane, has been scared out of illness.

After hearing this, my grandmother's brows frowned tightly, and she wanted to ask my grandfather, who knew that my grandfather waved his hand, "Don't come to ask me, you can do these things yourself in the future......"

In desperation, my grandmother followed Xinyang to Huanghuadong again.

After a month, I saw Jane and his wife again, the two of them had gloomy faces, especially Jane, her face was pale and gloomy, and her spirit seemed to be a little trance.

My grandmother walked over and hugged the child again, and the child's weight was still problematic, and the child who was less than two years old was as heavy as four or five years old, as if it had taken root under its feet and had been pulled by a ghost.

Since it couldn't be prevented, the child ghost didn't want to leave by himself, so he could only forcibly send it away.

My grandmother thought about it, comforted the couple a few words, and pulled Xinyang aside to explain a few words. Then I went down the mountain and went home, said hello to my grandfather when I got home, took some things at home, and returned to Huanghuadong again.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the couple was waiting on the mountain with their children in their arms. Xinyang, according to my grandmother's previous instructions, found a family nearby at the bottom of the mountain, and a group of people came to this family on a donkey cart.

My grandmother hinted at Xinyang, asking the people of this family to avoid it for the time being, mainly borrowing their courtyard and house. Xinyang is very prestigious in this area, and when the family heard that Xinyang wanted to borrow their house, they did not object at all, and the whole family always went to the neighbor's house.

By this time, it was completely dark. In the courtyard, there are no lights or lanterns, which looks a little dark, and my grandmother asked Xinyang and my grandfather to go out to avoid it, leaving only the parents and children.

What is my grandmother going to do, to do exorcism for the child.

First, my grandmother asked the child's father to hold the child, she took out a sewing needle, pulled the child's left hand, and pricked the child's middle finger, and after the blood came out, it dripped on the yellow paper. This needle, the child cried, and hurriedly dripped the child's tears on the yellow paper.

Then, put aside the yellow paper with the blood and tears of the child's fingers, and asked the Dayou couple to borrow the pot of this house to boil a pot of hot water, while the water was not yet boiling, my grandmother dipped a brush in cinnabar, took out a few other pieces of yellow paper, and calmly drew a few characters on the yellow paper.

Wait until the water boils, throw a "extinguished" character into the water, and then sprinkle the prepared willow leaves, peach roots, and incense ashes, and let the Dayou couple remove the firewood from the stove. Wait for the water temperature to dry to the appropriate, pour it out and put it in a large wooden basin, soak the child in the water, put an incense burner next to the wooden basin, insert a incense stick straight in the incense burner, let the big couple wash the child from head to toe, and wash until the incense stick in the incense burner is burned, which is called "washing the obscure yin", also called "cutting the root of evil".

It must be clear here that our family generally does not draw talismans, and the talismans are only one character, such as: edict, le, sacrifice, forbidden, sealed, expelled, annihilated, etc., the talisman itself has no power, and it is generally used in conjunction with the law.

After the child is washed, wrap it with a yellow cloth from head to toe, "seal" the character sheet, and stick it on the child's head, chest, and feet through the yellow cloth. Of course, the child will definitely cry at this time, which requires his parents to find a way to coax him. Now when I do this kind of ritual, I usually ask parents to give sleeping pills to their children in advance, although this is a bit of a thing, but it is better than children making trouble all day long.

After the yellow cloth is wrapped, let Dayou hold the child to hide in the firewood room of this family, the door of the firewood room is also pasted with a "seal" character, the house only lights an oil lamp made of a coarse porcelain bowl, a few drops of water in the oil bowl, Dayou holds the child and sits in front of the lamp, looking at the few drops of water in the bowl, if the water does not change, don't make a sound, if there is a change, quickly hold the child out of the firewood room, this is called "lonely lamp illuminating the soul", I will not explain the specifics.

In the courtyard, my grandmother burned the yellow paper that dripped children's tears and finger blood, mixed it with clear water, and then put the water and the "sunrise mud", pinched out an inch of human mud with mud, and took a new brush, dipped it in the ink of yellow paper ash, wrote the child's name on the chest of the clay man, and then tore out a piece of clothing and pants with yellow paper, glued it to the clay man to wear, and finally put the clay man into an altar, put a pair of chopsticks at the mouth of the altar, cover a piece of yellow paper on the chopsticks, and put five grains of white rice on the yellow paper according to the five directions in the southeast, northwest, and north.

Finally, put the altar at the door of the firewood room, light two white waxes on the left and right, beckon the child's mother Jane to come over, turn her back to the altar, kneel on the ground, kowtow to the sky, and read out the words that my grandmother taught her in advance: "The sky is panicked, my family has a long-lived man, not afraid of wind and rain, good ghosts come to five buckets of rice, evil ghosts come to five thunderbolts." ”

After reading, he knelt and turned around, and blew on the yellow paper on the altar with a "poof".

If you take this breath, the five grains of rice on the yellow paper will be rolled a few times at once, and the rice in which direction will move the most will be sent in that direction.

Jane went down in one breath, and the grain of rice in the east rolled the hardest, almost not rolling off the yellow paper.

Seeing this, my grandmother hurriedly motioned for her to pick up the altar and get up, and asked her to hold the altar with her back to the chaimen, explaining that she could not look left and right, let alone look back.

Then, my grandmother took out the chopsticks on the altar, sealed the mouth of the altar with a red rope on yellow paper, and she held the other end of the red rope and said to the altar, "Child, come with me." At this time, the child's mother Jane hurriedly followed my grandmother with the altar, one after the other.

After leaving the hospital, walk along the eastward direction, and when you encounter a fork or crossroads, you will sprinkle a handful of paper money.

It wasn't until we walked out of the village and further east that my grandmother and Jane came to a wasteland mixed with earth and rock.

My grandmother asked Jane to put down the altar in her arms, took out a wad of yellow paper from her body, and made Jane cry a few times while burning the yellow paper, shouting "Let's go, don't come back......

After the yellow paper is burned, let Jane return along the original, and you can't turn back after you go up, and when you turn around, the child's ghost will follow.

My grandmother took out a piece of peach wood card, used the peach wood card to dig a pit in situ, buried the altar in the ground, and put the peach wood card into the soil together, and burned a pile of yellow paper on it.

At this point, the ritual of sending ghosts is completed.

However, what happened next was something that my grandmother couldn't have imagined......
