When he spoke, my dad's tone was very careful, as if he was worried about touching one of the sensitive nerves of Lao Chai Tou.

Lao Chai Tou shook his head: "Yangyang, this kid, has a different physique from ordinary people, and he can't say that he will provoke other evils in the future." He kept staring at my dad when he said this, and when he saw my dad twist his face to the side, he didn't say anything more, just sighed helplessly.

My dad and Lao Chai Tou stood in the room and outside the window, neither of them spoke, just standing stiffly. It wasn't until my mother boiled the water and came to ask me to take a bath that Lao Chai Tou was invited into the house by my mother.

My uncle had a big wooden basin at home, and my mother adjusted the water temperature in the basin, poured a packet of pale yellow powder into it, and let me bathe myself, and then went out to greet the old firewood.

I sat in the wooden basin, full of boredom, so I eavesdropped on the old firewood talking outside, and the old firewood was talking very loudly at that time, as if he was deliberately trying to tell me.

During this period, my dad didn't talk much, and my mom asked Lao Chai Tou what happened to me and what was the thing that pestered me before.

The old firewood struck a match, seemed to light the dry smoke, and then said: "The one who is entangled in Yang Yang is a ghost who has been washed by the yin wind for more than two years, common sense speaking, this kind of ghost can't harm people, but when she died, she was too resentful, and in just two years, she was about to become a ghost." But speaking of which, you should also recognize this ghost, and remember the gas poisoning of Lao Wang's family a year ago, right? This ghost is Lao Wang's biological mother. ”

Then my mother was surprised and said, "What? Lao Wang's mother? Could it be that Lao Wang was also asked for his life by her? ”

"Well," Lao Chai Tou replied slowly, "but it's no wonder that she's a miserable person." In the old society, life was sad, she relied on asking for food to pull Lao Wang up, but Lao Wang has not been filial since he was young. Two years ago, the old lady fell and broke the coccyx nerve, plus she suffered a little bit of cold, and her body couldn't stand it, so she was paralyzed. In order to save money, Lao Wang not only did not take the old lady to the hospital, but also cut off the old lady's food, and the old lady was starved to death in her last days. ”

At this time, my father also spoke: "In my early years, I heard that Lao Wang was not filial, but I didn't expect it to come to such a point. ”

Lao Chai Tou sighed: "Alas, this can be regarded as a retribution, when the old lady was young, she also did a lot of dirty things, and these are her retribution." At that time, when Lao Wang had an accident, I went to your tube building to see, and the old lady's soul had already wandered away, and I thought that when the ghost door was opened on July 15, she would also die. Unexpectedly, she actually set her eyes on Yangyang's yang body and came back! ”

At this time, the south house sounded the sound of opening the door, it should be the uncle who came back, Lao Chai Tou paused slightly, and then continued: "Before, I brought Yang Yang lock for three days, originally I wanted her to retreat from the difficulty, but Yang Yang brought Yang lock for three days, she hibernated by Yang Yang's side for three days, and saw that Yang lock had been removed, and regardless of the pure Yang Qi on Yang Yang's body, she had to forcibly return her soul at the risk of being hit. Alas, ghosts are ghosts after all, and the obsession is too deep. ”

My mother asked on the side: "Eyeing Yangyang's yang body?" Uncle Chai, what do you mean by that? Why do I hear a chill down my spine? ”

Lao Chai Tou took a puff of cigarette before slowly explaining: "I have taken a fancy to the yang body, I just want to use the yang body to revive the soul, which shows that the old lady still has no wish in the world." In our industry, things like this are very common, and there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

Every time he said a word, Lao Chai Tou's tone was very slow, and every time he spit out a word, his voice was very clear. He doesn't usually speak like this, and I feel more and more that he is saying these things to me.

At this time, my mother asked Lao Chai Tou again: "Uncle Chai, what are you doing, is it possible that you are a Taoist priest?" I remember that there was a Taoist temple not far from here. ”

Lao Chai Tou said with a smile: "I am not a Taoist priest, although I also know some Taoist techniques, but these Taoist techniques are gradually derived from our veins by absorbing the strengths of hundreds of schools." In fact, we see few ghosts, but many dead people. Like the old lady, I also inferred from the remaining 'spirit' on his body after finding Lao Wang's body. ”

This sentence immediately aroused the uncle's interest, and the uncle asked very curiously: "What do you speculate, Uncle Chai, can you tell us about it?" ”

Lao Chai Tou's voice was still with a smile: "This kind of technique, but the secret of our vein, except for the people of this sect, it is inconvenient for others to know." ”

I heard my uncle say, "Then I will worship you as a teacher, so that you can tell me." ”

They are all people who have lived in a village for a long time, neighbors and neighbors, and they speak more casually, and the uncle said this purely as a joke, presumably Lao Chai Tou will not take it seriously.

But as soon as my uncle's words fell, my father coughed violently. Then, the South House, which was still very lively just now, fell silent.

About a minute or so later, Lao Chai Tou suddenly got up to say goodbye, and my mother originally wanted to keep him for dinner, but she couldn't.

After Lao Chai Tou left, my mother and uncle were suspicious of my dad and asked me if my dad had any holiday with Lao Chai Tou, but my dad just said no, but he didn't mention a word about other things.

After this incident, my dad was reluctant to go back to the unit building, and when the weather looked warmer after the year, my dad found a few friends from the factory and repaired my uncle's stone house, and our family of three officially moved into my uncle's house.

When the house was being repaired that day, Liu Shangang's father also came, and my father told me the truth about being haunted by a ghost in vain. Liu Shangang's father has always believed in this kind of thing, and not long after, he also moved out of the tube building and lived in an old family home not far from Wangzhuang.

In order to facilitate schooling, Liu Shangang and I both transferred to Beishi Primary School, which is closer to Wangzhuang.

At that time, there were two experimental primary schools in the county, one in the south of the county and one in the north of the county, and the north was the old experimental primary school, which was built in the mid-fifties. There are only 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades in Beishi Elementary School, and the upper grades are all in Nanshi Elementary School.

In the words of Lao Chai Tou, the river below Nanshi Elementary School was originally a river of young babies, and it was very fierce, and the primary school should not be built in that place, if the school was really to be built, at least a high school should be built, and it must also be a boys' school. In this way, relying on the pure yang energy in the young man's body, he can also suppress the yin energy in that place.

However, it was two years before Liu Shangang and I went to school and entered Nanshi Elementary School.

The two years when I was seven or eight years old were mixed with joy and sorrow for our family. The worry is that the days are getting more and more difficult, especially in the first half of 95, my father did not get his salary for half a year, and the family's expenses at that time were all supported by my mother's farming, but at that time, the life of farmers was very sad, at least compared with now, it is incomparable.

Happily, since the old lady's incident, my body has become unusually healthy, I haven't had a single illness in two years, and even my height is much taller than that of children of the same age. Later, my dad also said that as soon as he got home and saw me pouring water for him to drink, he felt that it was worth it to survive this day! Even if you work hard, you can't make money.

In fact, there is one thing I have never told my father, that is, every day when I get out of school at noon, Lao Chai Tou will wait for me at the school gate, and every time he holds a small cup of that special broth in his hand for me to drink. From that time on, I was not very afraid of Lao Chai Tou, on the contrary, I often looked forward to seeing him, because every time I saw him, he told some stories of gods and ghosts.

Liu Shangang and I both felt that the story of Lao Chai Tou was much better than that of the old man in the tube building, but at that time, the two of us couldn't tell what was good. It wasn't until later that I realized that the reason why Lao Chai Tou's story was interesting was that the stories he told were all from his own experience.

Of course, at that time, I didn't know about Lao Chaitou's past experience, but because I had seen ghosts with my own eyes, I was also convinced of the stories in Lao Chaitou's mouth.

Once, when the class held a storytelling competition, when I went to the podium, I told the story told by Lao Chai Tou, and the students under the podium were stunned for a while, and I also had a special sense of achievement. But before I could finish the story, a classmate surnamed Yi (I forgot his name) suddenly stood up and said that I was preaching feudal superstition and scolded me with ugly words.

When I was a child, my temper was very similar to my dad, very easy to get anxious, and very stubborn, thinking that I didn't recruit you and didn't provoke you, why are you scolding me? didn't talk nonsense on the spot, and directly beat the man.

After that, my mom and my dad were "passed" to school, and I don't know what the head teacher said to my mom, anyway, that night, my mom beat me up.

Since the head teacher said that I was not a good boy, other classmates were unwilling to play with me, and even Liu Shangang, who had always been good with me, was affected and became the object of everyone's rejection.

As for the classmate surnamed Yi, he transferred to another school after being beaten by me. I still can't figure out why he couldn't get along with me that day.

Because we have no other friends, and Liu Shangang's house is very close to Wangzhuang, whether we are going to school or after school, the two of us are almost inseparable.

Liu Shangang is a good person, but his mouth is too broken, and he talks one by one, he can't stop at all, but my ears are full of calluses. After a long time, I gradually became immune to Liu Shangang's mouth cannon kung fu, often he said him, but I was thinking about other things in my head. It was during that time that I learned to think quietly in extremely noisy situations, to pay attention, and what I said was: extreme, degree, noisy, miscellaneous.
