In my hometown, there is such a saying: 23 sugar melons sticky, 24 sticky blessing characters, 25 sweeping the house, 26 stewed meat, 27 slaughtering roosters, 28 handful of dough hair, 29 stickers poured, and 30 nights of staying up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The twenties mentioned refer to the days at the end of the lunar month, that is, after the small year, until Chinese New Year's Eve, when every household begins to be busy for the new year.

Since I came home, I have been supported by my grandmother and mother like an uncle every day, completely like I am paralyzed, and I have lived a life of clothes and food to open my mouth.

On the day of the rooster slaughter, early in the morning, my grandfather walked around in front of the chicken coop and said that he must choose the fattest rooster so that he could pray for abundance throughout the coming year.

I nested on the warm kang and sent text messages to Huang Mengying, I didn't see her for half a month, I really missed her, she told me about her life at home every day, what practice and playing the piano and the like, I suddenly missed the days when I got along with her at school.

While I was chatting with her, I suddenly heard a sharp knock on the door! The bells and bells were very continuous, and the big iron gate of the courtyard was knocked on the toms.

My dad pulled his shoes and walked over to open the door, shouting, "Who is this?" So ignorant of the rules! For the New Year, don't knock on the door like this! ”

There is a special need to knock on the door, generally three times three times, first three times, if no one answers, it is three times, if someone answers, don't knock. The old man felt that the continuous knocking sound was similar to the sound of nailing the coffin, and he would be scolded when he knocked on the door like this, so he couldn't knock on the door like this, it was taboo!

As soon as the door opened, the neighbor Da Hei stood outside the door, and he said in a panic: "Uncle, is my grandmother at home?" Tell my grandmother to go see my little baby, this child is very sick! ”

His family has always been close to my family, so he has always called my grandparents grandparents.

My grandmother is from the city, in those days, only the children of rich families would go to school, my grandmother went to high school at that time, and she can speak a few foreign languages, she is also a serious lady, in the village is a relatively literate person, and people are easy-going and love to help others, so whoever has a problem will come back to her, not to mention the big black family only separated by a wall, his family will come to my house first if there is anything, find my grandmother, and make an idea together.

My dad saw that Da Hei was coming, and he said that Xiao Bao was sick, so he hurried into the house to call my grandma, and as soon as I heard that the son of the Da Hei family had an accident, he hurriedly went to the ground to put on L shoes, and helped my grandmother to go to Da Hei's house.

As soon as I entered Dahei's house, I saw Xiao Bao lying on the bed in the house, his wallpaper eyes seemed to be asleep, and he still had a towel on his head, completely lacking the vitality he had when he came to my house that day......

My grandmother sat at the head of his bed, touched Xiaobao's forehead with her hand, and asked, "Has Mrs. Chen come to see it?" ”

The old Mrs. Chen that my grandmother said is a famous doctor here, and she knows a little bit about the sideways, so it is perfect to find her at this time.

But I looked at Xiaobao, there were no ghosts around him, and when we first met the victim, Lin Ruru was not the same, Lin Ruru was followed by ghosts, causing him to get sick, but there was nothing around Xiaobao? Maybe it's a cold.

I looked at the yard through the window again, and sure enough, there was nothing, and I was more sure of my thoughts, maybe the weather was cold these days, and the kang in the house was burning warm, and the child was warmed up by the cold wind.

Da Hei quickly put on his coat and invited Mrs. Chen to come, and at this time, Da Hei's wife washed some fruit and brought it to us, and at the same time, she also told us what happened.

Most of our children here are free-range, just like when we were children, they go out to play by themselves during the day and come back when the meal is time, and the adults are usually very busy, and no one cares where you have gone.

Da Hei's daughter-in-law said that yesterday afternoon Xiaobao went out to play with several children of the same age, and when it was time to eat, the family made a meal.

In the winter of the Northeast, it was dark at four o'clock, and it was nearly six o'clock that night, Xiaobao had not returned, and Da Hei's wife couldn't sit still, and planned to go out to find it.

She went to the house of several children who often play with Xiaobao, and other people's children came back, and they also said that in the afternoon, they played hide and seek with Xiaobao, and after Xiaobao got up, no one saw him again, and everyone searched all the places where the children usually hide, and still didn't find Xiaobao, so they thought he was going home.

When we were children, there were often people like this, because the place where we could hide was so big, in order not to be found, some children would simply run home, everyone was no stranger to such a thing, even if they couldn't find it today, everyone would still get together the next day to continue playing, everyone didn't find Xiaobao, no one cared.

Da Hei's wife thought about going home first, maybe the child had already passed, and if she really didn't go back, she would call Da Hei and go out with her to find the child.

As soon as she got home, she found that Xiaobao still didn't come back, and the two of them hurriedly went out to look for it, and found it at ten o'clock in the evening, and the two of them still didn't find Xiaobao, so they almost didn't go up the mountain to find it, and they wanted to come to my house to ask someone to help go to the mountain to find it, one came to take care of more people, and the other could be safer, after all, on the mountain where we were, there are often some strange small animals, such as my grandfather, the little white fox I met.

As a result, when Da Hei and his daughter-in-law just passed by their door, they found that Xiaobao was back!

Xiaobao may be sleepy, lying at the door and falling asleep, the two of them are afraid that the child will freeze, so they quickly carry the child into the house, Xiaobao fell asleep, the big black daughter-in-law screamed a few times, he just opened his eyes, muttered: "Mom." Then he fell asleep again.

Seeing that the child was fine, the couple simply let him fall asleep first, and decided to ask Xiaobao about the matter the next day.

In the middle of the night, Xiaobao woke up, clamoring to drink water, Da Hei's wife hurriedly brought water, who knew that Xiaobao actually drank three bowls of water in one breath, after drinking the water, and fell asleep dizzily, Da Hei's wife found out that Xiaobao was hot all over, and hurriedly went to find antipyretics, and used a towel to compress his head, but it didn't get any better, and finally survived until dawn, Da Hei hurriedly ran to my house, wanting to ask for help.

Many of us stayed by Xiaobao's side, and now the only way is to wait for Mrs. Chen to come, and grandma said: "It's almost the New Year, it won't be some relatives in the family who come back to see the children!" ”。

The relatives my grandmother refers to the deceased relatives in the family, and there has always been a saying among the people that the ghosts of the relatives in the family will come back to see during the New Year, and the children's yang qi is weak and easily affected. Da Hei's parents died early, and it stands to reason that grandma's idea is not impossible, but I really didn't find anything by Xiaobao's side at that time.

More than half an hour passed, and Da Hei finally brought back Mrs. Chen, this old Mrs. Chen looked like an authentic rural little old lady, looking like she was over seventy years old, with a thin figure, bent waist, and two sleeves copied together, probably due to the fact that she often crossed her legs on the kang, her legs were a little deformed, which could be regarded as a circle leg.

As soon as Mrs. Chen entered the house, she brought in a burst of cold outside, presumably it must be very cold outside, although she was wearing a black cloth cotton jacket, her cheeks were still red from the cold, and there was a layer of frost on her hat, and the big black hand was carrying a shabby cloth bag, which must have belonged to this old Mrs. Chen.

We quickly dispersed from Xiaobao's side so that Mrs. Chen would have enough space to heal Xiaobao.

This old Mrs. Chen looked at me with strange eyes when she passed by me, but she didn't speak, I nodded politely at her, her glance made me feel very uncomfortable, as if she could see through my body, could it be that she noticed my abnormality?

Mrs. Chen stood at the head of Xiaobao's bed, she stretched out her dry hand full of wrinkles and age spots, touched Xiaobao's head, and then opened his eyelids to look at it, and from her shabby cloth bag, a bag of things was rummaged.

It was a paper bag wrapped in yellow paper, and she called Da Hei's daughter-in-law and said, "you, Xiaobao, you go and get a bowl of hot water, preferably freshly boiled, piping hot!" Her voice was a little hoarse, and it seemed that there was phlegm stuck in her throat, which was very uncomfortable to listen to.

Dahei's daughter-in-law responded: "Hey! So he went to the kitchen.

After a while, the water came, Mrs. Chen, opened the yellow paper bag she had just taken out, and opened it carefully, there was something white powder inside, she poured the white powder into the boiling water, and it hissed and bubbled. Later, when I saw the effervescent tablets that my classmates drank at school, the effect when I put them in water, I remembered the white powder package of Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen picked up Xiaobao's head with one hand, poured white powder into the bowl with the other, and was still bubbling boiling water, and was about to pour it into Xiaobao's mouth, Xiaobao's mother hurriedly stopped and said, "Hey! Aunt Chen! That's boiling water! ”

Old Mrs. Chen raised her head, rolled her eyes and said, "You can't believe me, why are you calling me to come?" I can still hurt him! It's not boiling water, it's not effective! ”

It's also strange to say, not long after this bowl of boiling water was put into Xiaobao's mouth, Xiaobao opened his eyes in a daze, he didn't wake up like last time to ask for water to drink, he rubbed his eyes with his fleshy little hands, and muttered: "Why are there so many people?" ”

Xiaobao's mother hurried to the child's side, touched her head, and sure enough, it was not so hot, and hurried to thank Mrs. Chen.

But Mrs. Chen said, "Let the child talk about what's going on first!" I'll have to fall asleep after a while. ”

Xiaobao's mother's face changed from joy to panic, and she hurriedly asked Xiaobao, but I don't know if it was because the child was too young to explain clearly, or because he really didn't remember.

Xiaobao only said vaguely: "I was playing hide and seek with the children, I was afraid that they would find me too quickly, so I hid in the grass, and then I saw a little hedgehog squatting on the stone in front of me, trying to catch it, but it ran too fast, I tripped over a small stone, and when I looked up again, it was gone, but I saw a few fruits on the ground, it seemed to be dropped by the little hedgehog, so I picked it up and ate it, and I kicked two in my pocket." ”

Xiaobao probably wanted to prove that what he said was true, so he touched it in his pocket with his little hand, and sure enough, he took out two small red fruits.

He continued: "I thought it was getting dark, so I was going to go home, so I went home, I had already seen our house, but I kept walking, I kept walking, I didn't get home for a long time, and then I was sleepy, so I fell asleep......"

After listening to this, Mrs. Chen said: "It may be that the hedgehog has cultivated to become fine, and if you eat its fruit, it has set up a blindfold, which is what we call a ghost hitting the wall, so that you can't go home." ”

About the ghost hit the wall, I have heard a little before, said that it is a person who encounters a ghost hitting the wall, in fact, he has not gone far, but has been circling in the same place, there are many ways to crack the ghost hitting the wall, the most common of which are three, one is that someone passes by, the ghost will naturally crack the wall, and there is also a kind of boy urine, legend has it that the boy urine yang and heavy, so it can break the yin thing, the last one is swearing, what is ugly to scold, isn't there a saying that ghosts are afraid of evil people?

Mrs. Chen continued: "Xiaobao, you go and get a basin of water, and bring another piece of black cloth!" ”

After the water came, Mrs. Chen put the basin on the kang, put the black cloth into the water, the cloth slowly sank to the bottom of the water, Mrs. Chen asked Xiaobao to stretch his head to the top of the basin, and needed to reflect the reflection in the water, Mrs. Chen looked carefully at the reflection in the basin, I also looked over curiously, and found that Xiaobao's reflection was very blurry, at this time, Mrs. Chen, and put her hand next to Xiaobao's head, so that the reflection of her hand and the reflection of Xiaobao's head were compared, and sure enough, the reflection of Mrs. Chen's hand, It's much clearer than the reflection of Xiaobao's head.

Mrs. Chen said: "I guessed right, Xiaobao, this kid, has lost his soul!" ”

People have three souls and seven souls, three souls, which are the heavenly soul, the earth soul and the main soul, and the main soul is also called the life soul, and if there is no direct death. If there are fewer heavenly souls and earth souls, they will be demented, they will not concentrate, their souls will not keep their minds, etc., seriously and directly like walking corpses, the child's three souls and body are not solid, and it is easy to lose one of the souls, especially like Xiaobao, who meets hedgehog spirits and ghosts hitting the wall.

Mrs. Chen told us that as long as we went to the place where Xiaobao lost his soul and shouted his soul, he would basically call the child's soul back.
