Qiao Wei told Liu Jingyang on the phone to prepare an iron stove hook and a shovel, and these two things can be used to temporarily disperse the resentful ghosts, but they can only last a few minutes, so they have to be beaten repeatedly.

After hanging up, he went back to his room, put on his coat and took his bag, and ran downstairs with me.

I almost hit the bottom of the gas pedal and the car was driving very fast, but fortunately there was no one on the road in the middle of the night in the countryside, so I wasn't worried about crashing or hitting people or anything.

Qiao Wei obviously didn't want me to concentrate on driving, and he took out the yellow paper from his bag and drew the talisman there, while asking me over and over again what I had found.

I had to start with Tang Hui's excerpts from the investigation of the case.

Tang Hui's excerpt contains a description of the policeman's disappearance of the child, which shows that there was a crisp sound, then a bright white light, then a thick smoke, and the child disappeared when everything returned to normal.

When I read this part, I had a preconceived idea that the police did not tell the truth about what they had seen, because the fact that the beast roared or the dragon appeared was so ridiculous that it would never have been written in the report. But what if what the police say is true? There is only one explanation, that is, it is not a dragon that captures children, and the noises, lights, and smoke are more like pranks made by children with firecrackers and fireworks.

When you think about it this way, everything becomes obvious.

Li Da cobbler turned into a dragon at the request of people, but people always think of things better when they make wishes, such as a dragon lord who does not ask for anything in return to bless the village with good weather. People would never want the dragon to eat the children in the village, so the dragon that Li Da cobbler turned into did not eat the children, not only did not eat them, but has been protecting the village, just like when he killed the Japanese devils to resist Japan and protect his family.

Hearing this, Qiao Wei asked, weishenme still has a child missing on Chinese New Year's Eve?

I explained: "Because Li Da cobbler was the whistleblower family who killed on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

The legend in the village is that the Dragon King took away two children as tribute on Chinese New Year's Eve, although this is made up by adults to deal with children, but the timing is absolutely not wrong. According to Old Man Xie, when Li Da Leatherman killed the devil in winter, it can be inferred that Li Da Leatherman killed people on Chinese New Year's Eve, and even innocent children were not spared.

Perhaps his anger has not subsided, and he still tortures the souls of the dead family every hour of every day, but the day of Chinese New Year's Eve is still the most vulnerable day in his heart, so on that day, he is not able to continue to protect the village, so the children will disappear on that day. The dragon Liu Jingyang saw on Camel Mountain in 01 was not to eat them, but to protect them, but the dragon was too weak that day.

After listening to the explanation, Qiao Wei nodded in agreement, and then he stopped asking questions and continued to sort out his exorcism tools, and I also increased my speed again, trying to get to the village as soon as possible.

About an hour after leaving the county seat, my mobile phone rang again, and I didn't have time to answer it, so I threw the phone directly to Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei picked up the phone and first hummed a few times, and then said after a while: "It's best to use black dog blood, if not, get more rooster blood, draw a circle on the edge of the well to surround the well, and then sprinkle a circle of coarse salt, don't throw it into the well!" Then go find a bigger iron cover and put the manhole cover, we still have half an hour to arrive, you tell everyone not to do anything superfluous. ”

Qiao Wei hung up the phone and immediately relayed the content of the phone to me.

The call was made by Liu Jingyang, saying that the well had been found, and that the child who had just been lost was in the well, and now he had been rescued, but there were firecrackers around the well, and there was smoke, and the people in the village were frightened and asked what to do.

"What to do? You should have told him about the salad just now. When we drove the two of us away at noon, it was still so horizontal, and now I know how to ask for someone! When we get to the village, I want to see what the man who led the two of us has a look on his face. When I said this, my heart was refreshed.

After hanging up the phone, it only took us more than twenty minutes to reach the camelwaist village. Before I could get off the road, I saw a number of people standing at the entrance of the village, with flashlights in their hands. As soon as they saw my car coming, they immediately dodged out of the way and pointed in the direction of the hill behind the village.

I don't need them to command and I know how to go. Turning off the road and entering the village, I drove along the dirt road in the village to the end of the village, where at the foot of the back hill there was a large group of people gathered with shovels and flashlights in their hands, and blood was splashed everywhere on their clothes.

As soon as I got out of the car, Liu Jingyang rushed over and shouted, "We have detained the well, what should we do next?" ”

I've done everything I can do, and I'll leave the rest to the professionals.

Qiao Wei raised his hand to signal Liu Jingyang to calm down, then took out a pile of haode charms drawn on the road and a peachwood short stick from his bag, and instructed Liu Jingyang to say: "You call a few people to prepare dog blood and coarse salt, and then open the iron lid, if something comes out of the well, don't care what it is, you just sprinkle blood and salt, and I will deal with the rest, understand?" ”

"Good, good!" Liu Jingyang said three times in a row, and then looked back at the other villagers who came over. The men nodded their heads in response, and then prepared their own things.

Soon, the people of the village brought bags of coarse salt, as well as blood in a basin and a ladle of water, and followed Qiao Wei to the well. The well was covered with a thick rusty iron plate, the edge of which was visible the dilapidated bricks below, and a square plank nailed out of wooden strips had been thrown aside, which seemed to have been used to cover the mouth of the well.

I knew that something would come out of the iron plate when I opened it, so I deliberately retreated to keep a certain distance, but despite this, I still felt a chill all over my body, and I soon realized that this chill was not my delusion, because the breath exhaled from my mouth and nose instantly formed frost around my mouth!

At this time, Qiao Wei arranged for two sturdy young men to stand on the left and right by the well, and grabbed the edge of the iron plate. Then eight other men stood on the side with coarse salt and dog blood, while others stood farther away like me, using flashlights to illuminate the people at the well.

"It's all ready, I'll count to three, and you two will open the iron plate." Qiao Weiwei said loudly, and at the same time held a yellow paper talisman in front of him with the two fingers of his left hand.

The villagers nodded and said that they were ready, so Qiao Wei began to count down.

When the count reached three, the two young men at the well lifted the iron plate to the side, and almost at the moment when the iron plate was removed, a black whirring smoke erupted from the well, like a volcanic eruption! At the same time, the sound of children crying and screaming from the smoke kept coming out, and my hair stood on end!

At this moment, a bright fireball flew towards the mouth of the well and spewed black smoke, which was scattered with a bang.

Only then did I move my eyes from the mouth of the well to Qiao Wei's body, and found that his left hand was empty, and he was holding the second talisman, and at the same time he also shouted: "Don't be stunned, throw things!" ”

The people who were supposed to sprinkle salt and blood next to the mouth of the well obviously reacted in the same way as me, completely forgetting what they were supposed to do, and some of them were so frightened that they sat on the ground with blood spilled all over their hands. Qiao Wei reminded them, and they came back to their senses, and threw the things in their hands into the well.

As soon as the coarse salt and dog blood entered the well, the cry of the child, which had been faintly heard, suddenly became very loud, and it seemed that it was not a child crying, but a large group of children crying together, and the cry resounded at the end of the village. Immediately after, a pair of small hands stretched out from the mouth of the well, and then came the faces of children with extremely distorted facial expressions!!

The villagers at the mouth of the well were so frightened that they screamed and crawled, but Qiao Wei did not retreat but advanced, chanting aloud scriptures that I did not understand, while continuously throwing fire charms at the mouth of the well.

Fireballs flew out of his hands one after another, scattering the ghost-faced children who crawled out of the well one by one. When all the children at the wellhead were scattered and disappeared, Qiao Wei also came to the well, and hung the peach wood short stick in his hand in the center of the wellhead.

He recited a few incantations aloud, strung a yellow paper talisman in his hand to a peachwood stick, and threw the short stick into the well.

The creepy cries of the children stopped instantly, and the whole foothill became silent. I could barely hold my breath, my eyes fixed on the well, and I couldn't move it.

After about half a minute, Qiao Wei exhaled a long breath, then turned his head to a strong young man closer and said, "It's okay, all the ghosts inside are under control, take the iron plate and cover the well, and then go down to find the body tomorrow at noon." ”

Hearing Qiao Wei say that it was okay, I dared to relax the nerves that had been tense, and at the same time, I also silently prayed in my heart that after I found the body tomorrow and sent it off, I must not have another trouble, because I no longer have any clues to check.
