Chapter 6: The Night of the Soul
The next day, after I fed the pigs, I went to Li Ming's house with my fifth grandfather.
Li Ming really replaced the wooden stool above his head with an iron stool, and looking at Li Ming holding the iron stool with difficulty, sweating profusely, anyone would feel a little sympathy.
In the past few days, the baby father has tossed Li Ming miserably, the strong guy with a wide chest and a wide back has lost a lot of weight, and now Li Ming's eye sockets are sunken, his spirit is sluggish, and he is hunched over, I really don't know how long he can hold on.
When the fifth grandfather saw the pitiful Li Ming kneeling in the courtyard, he was immediately furious, and dragged him up: "Get up, I want to see how angry he Li Quande is today, he has been dead for more than ten years, and he came back to toss his son and grandson, and he turned against him, if he doesn't get out today, I will slap him to death!" ”
The fifth grandfather is a good hand at farm work, and he has a lot of strength, so he dragged Li Ming up with one hand, and rushed into the house angrily: "Li Quande, hey, did I say you are Li Quande?" When you were alive, you were a good person, why did you die and die, and instead of reincarnating, you went home and made a monster, could it be that you did something wrong when you were alive, and the king of Hades didn't let you reincarnate? Otherwise, how could you still come back after all these years? ”
"You just did a sin, Chen Lao Wu, you don't care about my family's affairs, what should I do, that's my son, my grandson, do your! You are the oldest, dare to take care of Lao Tzu! The baby hung the bottle, rolled his eyes, and said disdainfully.
The fifth grandfather saw that the baby looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and snorted coldly: "Li Quande, if you really do a sin and can't be reborn, I will pay for you to overdo it, if you can't spend seven days for three days, we will spend seven days for seven days, and if you can't do it for seven days, we will spend more than one month, and you will let this baby go, but he is also your grandson, and you will lose a little bit by doing this!" ”
The fifth grandfather's words made the baby very angry, and he threw the bottle over directly: "Chen Lao Wu, what are you, get out of me at speed, if I can't move now, I will smash you flat, and I will take care of Lao Tzu's head, and I won't see how many catties of old bones you have, old things!" ”
Seeing that this baby was not soaked in oil and salt, the fifth grandfather was also angry: "Hey, you are toasting and not eating, eating and punishing wine, see if I don't smoke you today!" ”
The fifth grandfather raised his slap as he spoke, which startled Li Ming's mother, and immediately advised: "His fifth uncle, don't be angry, don't be angry, this old guy doesn't know what evil he has fallen into, and he has to harm his own grandson, but if you slap this doll to death, my Li family will be dead, you first dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger!" ”
Seeing this scene, the baby became even more arrogant, and shouted loudly: "Chen Lao Wu, you come, you come, Lao Tzu is not afraid of you, not afraid of you!" ”
The fifth grandfather glared at the baby hatefully: "Li Quande, don't think that I don't know your little flowery intestines, isn't it just crying, making trouble and hanging yourself, if you toss this doll to death, you will lose the chance to survive in this world, and you have to return to the cold underworld again, so ah, you'd better behave like this, I'll always figure out a way to deal with you!" ”
The fifth grandfather's words seemed to speak to the baby's heart, he seemed to have an estimate, and scolded angrily: "Get out, you get out of me, you don't have a few days to live, and you come to teach me a lesson, get out, deal with me, you still take advantage of that time, go home and eat rice with your family quickly, and regret when you die!" ”
The fifth grandfather heard Li Quande cursing him, and the anger came up again, and he rushed over to beat the baby, so Li Ming's wife quickly pushed him out, for fear that he would hurt the baby.
The fifth grandfather stood at the door and scolded a few words, and left the Li family angrily, and the baby glared at me angrily, biting his lip, and said hatefully: "Chen family boy, you are really a troublemaker, you made Lao Tzu very unhappy today, you also go to the courtyard to kneel for me, Lao Tzu is angry, you are not allowed to get up!" ”
This baby's dark eyes, evil smile, and old fritter look made me extremely depressed.
"You, don't go too far, you must know that you are just a baby, there are many ways to deal with you, you are going to provoke me, there is no good fruit for you to eat!"
Naturally, I wouldn't listen to a baby's threats, but as soon as I finished speaking, he slammed into the iron railing of the stroller, which scared Aunt Li a lot.
"Hehe, let's see if you have more ways or mine, if I want to die, who can stop me! Boy, are you kneeling today! ”
The baby couldn't stop laughing, and I had a chill down my spine when I heard it, and Aunt Li actually cast a pleading look at me, meaning to let me follow the baby first, and wait for him to be angry.
Li Ming and I grew up since childhood, and for his son not to have an accident, let alone let me kneel for a few hours, even if I kneel for a few days, it is nothing, and at this time I can only be at the mercy of this baby.
Just when I was about to go out to accompany Li Ming, the third uncle and Jia Daoshi suddenly appeared at Li Ming's house.
Daoist Jia lifted the curtain of the door and sneered at the baby: "An old ghost who has been dead for many years has sneaked out to toss his grandson, isn't he afraid of the punishment of the knife and axe of the hell?" ”
The baby was very frightened when he saw Jia Daoshi in a Taoist robe: "What do you want to do, it's not your turn to interfere with my family's affairs, don't come over, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself when I come, this doll is dead, my son can't spare you!" ”
Daoist Jia laughed twice: "Old man, my methods will only let you die, how can I hurt this baby, you better go on the road!" ”
Jia Daoshi flipped his palm, and a yellow talisman appeared in the palm of his hand, and then he heard a snap, and the yellow talisman with tadpole writing instantly appeared on the baby's forehead.
After the yellow charm was pasted, Li Quande screamed loudly, as if he had encountered the most frightened thing.
After Li Quande screamed for five minutes, a loud baby cry reached the ears of everyone in the room.
It's been six days, and for the first time in six days, Li Ming and his mother heard the baby's cry, and they all burst into tears with excitement.
"Thank you, thank you, Dao Chief, is my son okay now?"
Li Ming tightly held Jia Daochang's hands and exchanged tears, in the past few days, the most unbearable thing for him was not the inhuman torture, but the fear that his child would suddenly die!
Jia Daoshi smiled and nodded heavily, Li Ming got a clear answer, jumped up happily, Mother Li held the baby in her arms and kept kissing, this child is finally his grandson.
At this time, my eyes were also tidal, and I also had a trace of admiration for this thin Taoist priest, a small yellow charm solved the problem of the Li family's sleepless tossing and turning for several days, and saved a life!
Seeing the mother and son of the Li family hugging each other and crying, I quietly walked to the door, for a few days, they have endured both physical and psychological torment, let them be happy!
Just as I was about to walk out of the door, Daoist Jia walked up: "Boy, don't go yet, in order to completely clear the old man's suspicion, I plan to let you meet your father, you can ask him, what's going on!" ”
"What, I can really see my father!" My mouth opened wide in shock.
"Tomorrow is your father's first seventh, also known as the night of the soul, and your father will come back then, so just ask him!" Daoist Jia said lightly.
"Soul Night! Well, how do I do that! I asked, looking up.
"You'll know then!" Daoist Jia smiled mysteriously.
When I heard the news, I didn't sleep all night and waited until the afternoon of the next day to see the mysterious Daoist Jia.
When Daoist Jia came to my house, he fell asleep and did not wake up until 11 o'clock in the evening.
"Daochang Jia, why did you wake up, but I'm in a hurry!"
Jia Daoist slept for a period of time, I was like sitting on pins and needles, for fear that this old Tao would oversleep and delay the time to summon the spirit, at that time I really wanted to go over and splash him with cold water, but I still endured it, at this time, offended this old Taoist, he turned his head and left, I never wanted to see my father again.
Seeing that I was so anxious that my eyebrows were twisted into pimples, Daoist Jia laughed: "Don't worry, old man, I have time to grasp it!" ”
As he spoke, he moved my long table to the courtyard, set up a simple altar, and then shook a yellow talisman on my eyes, and then I felt that my head was very heavy, and I fell on the table.
When I opened my eyes again, I found that the courtyard of my house was filled with white mist, and in the mist, hundreds of white candles were floating up and down, and the leaves on the trees were falling like butterflies.
I knew that this was a sign of the coming of the ghost, and immediately shouted loudly: "Dad, are you back, when you come back, I will see Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng misses you very much!" ”
I searched and looked around the courtyard until ten minutes later, a very beautiful song sounded, and my father and a woman appeared hand in hand on a poplar tree in the courtyard.
This woman is Mu Xiaoke, her shoulders are pillowed on her father's shoulders, her hair is covered with her father's chest, and they are sitting on the branches swinging, looking very intimate.
"You splash woman, why did you kill my dad, you vixen, I am inseparable from you!"
I picked up a brick and threw it at Mu Xiaoke on the tree, but they appeared in front of my eyes in a flash.
"Xiaofeng, it's not what you think, your father actually made such a decision for you and your whole village!" The first time this woman spoke, her voice was as beautiful as a yellow warbler, and even the hatred in my heart was lightened.
"For me! You splash woman don't make excuses, I won't believe your nonsense, Jia Zhenren, hurry up and accept this female ghost, so that she can no longer seduce my father, and she can't cause trouble in the township. ”
At the thought of my young father becoming a ghost, my anger surged up again, and I shouted loudly, but when I turned my head, I found that Daoist Jia had long since disappeared, and now there were only me and two ghosts in the cold courtyard.
