Chapter Twenty-Four: Sleepwalking (text)

The name is related to human life, Meng Changqing is extremely concerned, and he ran directly to the bottom of the village without even asking what the reason was.

If something happened in the village, every family would go to see it, and grandpa was naturally indispensable, so he also went later, so let me and Xiaoxiao stay in the house and not run around.

Xiaoxiao and I could stay somewhere, and after a little discussion, we went out to the bottom of the village.

When I went out, Xiaoxiao asked me if my eyes still hurt now, I said it didn't hurt, and then she squinted her eyes and asked me if she thought she was, we children have a heart, and there are no outsiders, just say whatever you want in your heart, I said yes.

She giggled twice and said that she misses me too, and cries every time she dreams of me.

It's the first time I've been so remembered, and I feel so comfortable.

While we were talking, Uncle Zhang, wearing a hat and a hat, appeared in our sight.

I didn't want to see my grandmother since he died, and after seeing him, I said to Xiaoxiao: "Don't talk to him, let's go." ”

Xiaoxiao sighed, and then I pulled her to the bottom of the village, and when I arrived at Uncle Zhang's side, Uncle Zhang suddenly opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Ouch, Xiaoxiao, when did you come back?" No one told me. ”

"Last night." Xiaoxiao turned around to answer her, and I pulled Xiaoxiao and motioned for her not to talk to Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang saw me pulling her, gave me a blank look, and reprimanded: "Haiwazi, why are you so ignorant, I am your uncle anyway." ”

I glanced at him, then pulled Xiaoxiao to leave the place quickly, and after walking a few steps, Uncle Zhang shouted Mu Xiaoxiao behind him, and Xiaoxiao almost subconsciously turned his head and snorted.

Then Uncle Zhang smiled and said that it was okay and let us go.

I secretly scolded that there was something wrong, and I wore a hat on a sunny day.

took Xiaoxiao to find grandpa and them in the village. Most of the people in the village were gathered here, and we squeezed in to take a look.

An old man in the village leaned back on a chair with a demented face, except for his eyes that blinked, the rest of his body was as if he was dead, and when he got closer, he could see the hara hanging on the old man's mouth, in addition to this, there was a faint smell of excrement at the scene.

After standing here for a while, I heard the discussion of the villagers and realized that the old man was fine last night, but he woke up this morning with dementia, did not speak or eat, and even solved the problem directly on his body.

The villagers guessed that they had hit an evil spirit, and asked Meng Changqing to help catch up.

I looked at this state, and I felt a little similar to the moment when I lost my soul, and I also felt that all parts of my body were out of my control, and my saliva flowed straight out, and as for urine and urine, there was also a tendency to pull it on my body, but Meng Changqing pulled me back and pulled me back quickly.

"I guess I've lost my soul." I thought about it and said it.

The villagers didn't care what I said, what can I know as a little kid, after I finished speaking, Meng Changqing looked up at me, said that he became smarter, and then told the villagers that he had lost his soul, and he had to call his soul quickly.

When the villagers saw that Meng Changqing said the same, they praised me one after another, saying that I could become a teacher.

Xiaoxiao saw the villagers praising me, and she also squinted her eyes and laughed, saying that I was amazing.

The way to call the soul is very simple, that is, to call back the soul that was thrown outside, it doesn't need to be too profound, Meng Changqing just fiddled with it a few times at the scene, and then asked the villagers to help the old man into the room.

After the old man was nearby, Meng Changqing asked the villagers if they hadn't heard or seen anything strange last night, and there were only two possibilities for losing their souls, the first was to be frightened and lost their souls, and the second was to be hooked by someone.

After a discussion for a while, one of the villagers came out and said that when he got up at about three o'clock in the morning to relieve himself, he heard a dog barking a few times, and he barked at this side.

After hearing this, Meng Changqing said that it should be that the old man saw something dirty last night, and his soul was frightened, and he didn't know until the old man was sober.

All afternoon, the people of the village did nothing but watch over the old man's house.

Xiaoxiao and I are also waiting here, I, Xiaoxiao, and Meng Changqing are sitting on a bench, and the two of us have her in the middle. I don't know what's going on, she was very afraid of Meng Changqing, and when she saw Meng Changqing, she became cautious.

Meng Changqing was also happy to tease her, pinching her face when she was bored during the waiting period, touching her head, or teasing her a few words in language, asking Xiaoxiao if she would like to be his apprentice, Xiaoxiao was stunned every time at first, and she was relieved after Meng Changqing pinched or asked.

After doing this a few times, Xiaoxiao also got used to it, and if Meng Changqing pinched her again, she would avoid it.

Seeing the two of them playing treasure here, it made the villagers laugh too.

At about six o'clock in the afternoon, the old man was helped out, and when he came out, he told the villagers what he had seen.

Last night he heard a cat barking outside in the middle of the night, and at first thought it was other cats in the village passing by, so he didn't care, but the cat had been barking outside the window for more than half an hour, he couldn't sleep and got up to look, and when he went out, where was the cat standing at the door, obviously a child who could just walk.

When he saw the child, he was frightened like this, and he didn't know what happened after that.

Meng Changqing frowned after hearing this, and when the villagers saw him like this, they knew that there were unclean things in the village, and they hurriedly asked Meng Changqing what it was.

Meng Changqing said with a solemn face: "There is a baby spirit in the village, I will be guarding in this village tonight, if you hear someone knocking on the door or a cat barking, don't go out." ”

The villagers didn't know what the infant spirit was, and they didn't know that they were afraid, so they asked Meng Changqing for advice.

Meng Changqing saw that the sky was not completely dark now, so he popularized the baby spirit with everyone.

Infant spirits are the embodiment of dead fetuses or infants, and most of the causes are related to abortion, and after they are aborted, they will reattach themselves to the womb of the person who aborted them, be reborn, and then take revenge on their biological parents. One of the most important characteristics of infant spirits is that they cannot speak, but their voices are like those of cats.

Infant spirits are very powerful ghosts, their grievances are heavier than ghosts, and their adaptability is stronger than that of people, so they are very difficult to deal with.

Just a few simple words, the villagers have heard a chill in their backs, and some shrewd people have already thought of the child that Hu Haiyan killed, so they said: "Could it be the doll that Hu Haiyan and they fell?" ”

Meng Changqing said it was very likely. He said that only Hu Haiyan and Zhang Shike had abortions in the vicinity recently, but Hu Haiyan had been arrested, and even if she gave birth to a baby spirit, it would be impossible to return here, so Meng Changqing guessed that this baby spirit must have been born from something else.

Something else was born, all I can think of is that the big scalper gave birth to a calf a few days ago, and the pregnancy of the big scalper was originally a strange thing, and the big scalper shed tears when he saw me during pregnancy, if it was a normal pregnancy, how could it have such a strange appearance.

There are also big scalpers who give birth to the contents of their stomachs and die, and no one in the village has ever seen what is born.

I can think of it, Meng Changqing can naturally think of it, and the villagers have also thought of it, and they all said that it was not something born from a big scalper.

Meng Changqing said that if the infant spirit is generally attached to his original parents' body, it will not be in the cow's body at all, if this is the case. Someone must be doing something wrong.

After he finished talking to the villagers, he looked at me and Xiaoxiao with a serious face, and at the same time said very strictly: "You two have to follow me every inch these days. ”

I saw that he was so serious, I nodded, and when the villagers saw that Meng Changqing was so protective of us, many of them had the intention of giving their grandson or son to Meng Changqing as an apprentice, but Meng Changqing politely refused.

After the sun set, Meng Changqing dispersed all the villagers, told them to go home and close the door, and asked them to throw their cats out, otherwise the baby spirit would think it was its kind when he heard the cat's meow, and it would be troublesome to find the sound.

Meng Changqing had to guard here at night, afraid that the infant spirit would come out to make trouble again, so Xiaoxiao and I were naturally taken by him.

Grandpa was supposed to follow along, but Meng Changqing politely refused.

After Grandpa went back, Meng Changqing changed into his robe, found a chair and sat on the flat ground in the village, and slightly spread his right arm to pestle the money sword on the ground.

Xiaoxiao and I were protected by him, I saw that he was handsome in this posture, Xiaoxiao didn't know what he was doing, so he asked me.

Before I could answer, Meng Changqing turned his head to look at Xiaoxiao and said with a smile: "Girl, you worship me as a teacher, I will teach you Taoism, how about it?" ”

Xiaoxiao nodded again and again and said no, but I listened to it but secretly said that it was unfair, I have been with him for so long, and I am just drinking tea until now, listen to what he means, Xiaoxiao will teach her as long as she apprentices.

I thought to myself that Xiaoxiao had learned, and it would be the same for her to teach me. Seeing that Xiaoxiao rejected Meng Changqing, I immediately shook her and motioned for her to agree.

Meng Changqing felt my movement and stared back at me: "Stinky boy, why don't others want you to shake her?" ”

I smiled, and then sat up behind his back according to Meng Changqing's request, Xiaoxiao was sleepy, so she fell asleep on top of me.

It was almost midnight, and there was no movement at all, but the door behind us creaked open, and the old man brought us a pot of tea.

Meng Changqing is not thirsty at this time, although I am thirsty, I am afraid that Xiaoxiao will be woken up by moving too much, the old man put the teapot next to us, and told me that if I am sleepy, I can go to his house to sleep first.

Meng Changqing saw that I was really sleepy, so he nodded and agreed, and asked me to take Xiaoxiao into the house.

The old man's son and daughter-in-law went out to work, and his grandson was also taken to the city, and now he is left alone at home.

He didn't have enough beds at home, so he arranged me and Xiaoxiao in the same bed, which was nothing at our age, but I always felt weird and awkward, if Meng Changqing saw it, he would definitely scold me again.

I didn't think about it so much for a while, I fell asleep on the bed for a while, and I don't know how long later, when I was in a daze, Xiaoxiao sat up from me, and then got out of bed sideways and walked outside.

I muttered and asked where you were going, but Xiaoxiao didn't answer me and walked straight out.

When I heard the door creak open, I woke up with a sudden start, got up as fast as I could, and chased after him.

The old man also heard the sound and got up, he thought that we heard a movement outside to open the door and came out to stop us, but when he heard me say that Xiaoxiao went out, he hurriedly chased him out with a flashlight.

Meng Changqing was no longer outside, I didn't know where I went, I saw Xiaoxiao walking outside step by step, and was about to go up to grab her, but was stopped by the old man.

The old man was well-informed, and said that Xiaoxiao was sleepwalking, and if she was woken up at this time, she would be scared to death directly.

Now I don't know where Meng Changqing went, he must know what to do in this situation, the old man thought about it, and finally asked me to follow Xiaoxiao, and he went to find Meng Changqing.
