After a while, Daguanzhuang Primary School in the neighboring village opened, and Xiao Haiyang and several friends of the same age in the village went to the first grade. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe little girl named Lamei and Xiao Haiyang were in the same class and table, and Xiao Haiyang had her own official name at this time: "Wang Yang".

On the first day of school, Wang Yang felt very fresh, made a lot of friends, and also knew a lot of pinyin letters and numbers. After that, I gradually became familiar with the school, and gradually got used to the intense study every day.

Wang Yang is smart and studious, and his academic performance is very good, but Lamei's studies are relatively poor.

La Mei counts the eldest at home, and there are two older brothers above. She was born seven months after her mother's womb, and she was born in Layue, so she was called Lamei. Now that I am in school, the teacher gave me a homonym and corrected the name to "Lamei".

Lamei and Wang Yang sat in the front row, sharing a desk. There is also a classmate named "Forward" next to Lamei, who is chubby, feels a little muna, and is six years old, and is still wearing open crotch pants.

Once in a math class, the teacher taught addition and subtraction within ten, and everyone learned it, but it was stupid to move forward, but it couldn't learn. The math teacher was very angry and gently twitched twice with a teaching pole made of small bamboo poles.

After a while, I always felt that my feet were warm and wet, and I took a closer look: it turned out that I was nervous and secretly urinated under the table, and it happened that I urinated on the new cloth shoes that the math teacher had just bought, and the math teacher was angry and funny.

Later, I asked other teachers to find out that I had encephalitis when I was a child, and my reaction was a little sluggish, and I would pee when I was nervous, which may be why I still wear open crotch pants at the age of six.

Wang Yang's village is about three or four miles away from the school, and it is connected by a winding dirt road.

There is a dilapidated and dilapidated land temple on the side of the road. Legend has it that the land god is the smallest official in the divine realm, and in the past, the general land temple supported a few stones on the side of the road, and built a roof casually, it can be called a land temple.

But this land temple is different, the scale is obviously much larger, the main hall of the temple is two, there is a couplet carved on both sides of the temple door, the right is "the father-in-law is very fair", the left is "the mother-in-law is a mother-in-law's heart".

In the past, the land temple used to be full of incense, and many people in the village came to make wishes or ask for a good harvest, or the deceased elderly people sent soup to burn incense and burn paper.

But in the seventies of the last century, when the unprecedented "**********" was broken, several clay statues were lifted out and smashed, and the wooden doors and windows and the horizontal plaque of the "Land Temple" were demolished and burned by the surrounding villagers. Now all that remains is a long stone slab offering table and a vigorous and stout ancient locust tree outside the temple gate, surrounded by weeds. Except for the occasional passer-by, no one usually arrives.

After school in the afternoon, Wang Yang and a few friends sometimes took advantage of the light to complete the homework assigned by the teacher in the broken temple, and then went home. It should be noted here that in the early 80s, most of the rural areas in Lunan did not have electricity, and at night, kerosene lamps were used for lighting.

After school that day, Wang Yang and a few primary school students came to the Land Temple and met the second egg in the village who was climbing the ancient locust tree at the entrance of the temple.

"Why are you climbing tree trunks?" Wang Yang asked curiously.

Erdan, who was two years older than Wang Yang and was already in the third grade, flexibly climbed a diagonal branch and said, "Do you see that old eagle's nest in the tree?" I'm going to take a few old owl eggs to play with. ”

"The teacher said that birds are friends of humans, and it's wrong for you to do this!" Lamei shouted.

The second egg snorted and said, "You little yellow-haired girl, don't scare people with the teacher!" ”

As he spoke, he climbed to the old eagle's nest made of thin branches and broken grass on the big locust tree, and reached into the nest with his hand and groped for a long time, "Such a big old eagle's nest doesn't even have an egg!" When Erdan was just about to withdraw his hand, he touched something in his hand and took it out to see: it was a dark gray rectangular wooden sign.

This time the second egg was completely disappointed, threw the wooden sign under the tree, slid down the old locust tree, and walked away.

Wang Yang walked over and picked up the wooden plaque, and saw that there were several traditional characters engraved on it. Lamei asked curiously, "Wang Yang, what is that?" Suddenly, Wang Yang's face turned pale: "I don't know!" With that, he threw the wooden sign far away, and hurried away with Lamei.

Although Wang Yang is young, since the last time he fell into the pond, he knows that the copper coin on his body is absolutely extraordinary. The shaking of the copper coin before the pond fell into the water last time, the strange palm print on the calf, and the unusual dream he had in the army to talk to the hanged man all filled Wang Yang's young heart with fear and uneasiness, and the inexplicable copper coin and the mysterious life-saving benefactor also filled him with confusion. When Wang Yang saw this mysterious wooden card, the copper coin on his body shook violently again, which made Wang Yang feel great fear.

When he got home, Wang Yang saw that his mother was cooking, so he ran to his house and closed the door without saying a word, and then took off the copper coin on his body and observed it carefully: the copper coin was round on the outside and square on the inside, and a word was engraved on each side of the square hole on the front. Wang Yang turned the copper coin over and over again, only felt that the copper coin was a little worn, and there was not too much abnormality, the wooden sign in the old eagle's nest may have been put in by the old eagle, and then think about the bruises that fell into the legs of the pond, maybe it was touching something like wood suspended underwater, maybe he had too many hallucinations, he was too sensitive, and everything was asking for troubles and thinking too much. Thinking of this, Wang Yang's heart calmed down a lot, and at this time, his mother called him to eat, and Wang Yang hurriedly opened the door and went out.

Late that night, Wang Yang seemed to feel a slight sinking on the side of the bed in his sleep, and when he looked up, there was a thin young man sitting next to the bed, looking sideways at himself with a smile, it was the uncle who had hung on the beam in the army.

"Uncle, it's you, it's been a long time," Wang Yang said.

The thin young man said deceptively: "We meet every day, in fact, I have always been by your side, but you have never noticed it."

The thin young man stood up straight, smiled in front of the bed and said, "And last time by the pond, I also saved your life!" ”

Wang Yang said, "Uncle, do you mean that the aunt who rescued me by the pond is you?" It's so incomprehensible. I just felt that the aunt was a little familiar. ”

The thin young man nodded proudly, and then said: "You are really a smart doll, it was too late when I had a premonition of danger by the pond, and you saw that the aunt who saved you was actually a phantom of mine, and when I saw that you were in danger, how could I not save you from death?" You say yes, right? ”

Wang Yang said gratefully, "Thank you so much, uncle." Do you know what's going on with the bruised palm prints on my legs? ”

The thin young man said solemnly, "The bruised palm prints on your leg and stomach were left when you were dragged into the deep water by a drowned ghost in the pond. She must have drowned in the river, and after her soul condensed into essence, she drifted around, swam to the pond next to the vegetable garden, and saw that the pond was deep and yin and suitable for herself, and saw that the vegetable garden was often moved around, and wanted to wait for an opportunity to find a substitute, so she simply settled down."

The thin young man looked at Wang Yang, and then said, "If I hadn't rescued you, you would have become a stand-in for the drowning ghost last time." I have a request now, I wonder if you can grant it? ”

Wang Yang said: "Since my life was saved by you, what else do you ask, if you have a request, uncle, just say it."

The thin young man said, "Do you remember the rectangular wooden sign in the old owl's nest on the old locust tree next to the Land Temple?" It was a ghost exorcism talisman carved by an old Taoist priest with peach wood a long time ago, and his own blood was dripping on it, so it was very aura. But it is fatal to our wandering souls, it can swallow our energy, make our souls scatter, and disappear without a trace. I don't understand why such a terrible thing should appear in the old owl's nest on the old locust tree. ”

Wang Yang asked suspiciously: "Uncle, what do you mean?" How can I help you? ”

The thin young man said, "This is a sleeping exorcism talisman, if it wakes up, I will be in great trouble, I want you to help me burn it." ”

Wang Yang said: "I thought it was a big deal, easy to do. But I don't remember where I threw it last time?! ”

Seeing that Wang Yang agreed to his request, the thin young man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's still in the grass in the northeast corner of the Land Temple, you will definitely be able to find it." ”

He also said: "Good doll, after the matter is done, I will protect you well in the future and not let you be harmed, don't worry." Okay, you go back to sleep. I have other things to do."

The next day, when Wang Yang went to school and passed by the Land Temple, he really found the ghost exorcism talisman in the northeast corner. Wang Yang's heart was shocked again: some things in dreams and reality are really related! He found some dry branches and dead leaves, lit them with matches, threw the talisman into the fire, and hurried away.

Late that night, the moon was bright and the stars were thin, and the silence of the village was broken by the occasional dog barking.

On the willow tree with a bent neck next to the pond in the vegetable garden, a figure is swaying leisurely, it is a thin young man.

He rested his arms comfortably on the crooked branch behind him, his feet shaking. At this moment, the water on the white pond suddenly rolled, and a woman with a cloak appeared, her face was pale, and only her head was exposed to the water, looking strange and hideous.

"Is it okay for you to call me through the Netherworld Voice?" The thin young man asked as his feet stopped shaking. The female water ghost said gloomily: "Alas, I have been in this pond for a long time, and it is easy to find this doll as a stand-in, why do you harm me and do good things?"

The thin young man pursed his lips and said, "What you said is really a bit ignorant, according to the old rules, this doll is what I have long taken a fancy to, and it belongs to me." Not only does he have yin and yang eyes, but his body and bones are also very special, through communicating with his brainwaves, he can do a lot of things for me, and if you want to use him as a stand-in, I will never agree. Besides, why do you have to ask him as a stand-in? ”

The female water ghost glared coldly: "You are different from me, you will have a chance to be reincarnated in the future, and me, the only chance to be reincarnated is to find a suitable substitute, I have been in the water for more than a hundred years." ”

Then the female water ghost floated her entire body out of the water and floated in the air: "If you want to fight me with your decades of cultivation, I'm afraid it's far behind." The thin young man hurriedly said: "Cough, eldest sister, don't be angry, I don't mean to fight with you, we are all ghosts in distress, and we should discuss more in case of trouble." ”

The thin young man turned his gaze and asked, "You've been here for a long time, do you know about the exorcism talisman?" ”

The female water ghost said: "I know a little bit about it, thirty years ago, there was a very famous local old Taoist named Zhao Ruotong, who was withdrawn and arrogant and had vicious ghost hunting methods.

He usually grows some crops at home, and when the neighbors have ghosts and exorcisms, he goes to help. Later, when he was exercising in the **********, he put on an iron hat of dozens of pounds and was beaten by the Red Guards, seeing that he was a good hand at catching ghosts, but in the hands of the Red Guards, the weak ones were like chicks under the claws of eagles, and they were tossed for a few days and died of a serious illness when they went home. At that time, he left a magic weapon that was the ghost exorcism talisman, which is our nemesis in the ghost world. ”

The thin young man smiled: "This ghost exorcism talisman has been burned by the hand of that doll." ”

"Is it true?" The female water ghost was a little unconvinced.

The thin young man nodded affirmatively: "Yes, this doll has a lot of use value, do you understand why I can't make him your stand-in?" The female water ghost nodded, sighed bitterly, and slowly sank to the bottom.

The thin young man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the female water ghost sinking to the bottom of the water, and quietly left, and the whole pond returned to calm.

This morning, I woke up a little late, picked up two mouthfuls of food, picked up my schoolbag and hurried to school. When I walked to the Land Temple, I felt an urgency to urinate, so I ran to the corner of the Land Temple to prepare for convenience.

Seeing a pile of dead branches and fallen leaves burning, he said to himself: "The teacher said that we must work safely and pay attention to fire prevention." Hurriedly took out the ****** and extinguished the fire with a soak of urine. Going forward, he saw something black in the unburned branch, so he took it out and wiped it with his armpit, and looked closely: it was a rectangular wooden plaque with a zigzag symbol on it.

"Hey, what's this?" Qianjin muttered to himself curiously, then stuffed the wooden sign into his school bag and hurried to school.

As soon as I entered the school gate, the bronze bell "Dangdang" hanging on the old willow tree was rang by the old man who guarded the door, and it turned out that it was time for class.

Rushing into the classroom ahead of the teacher, he quickly found a seat and sat down.

The teacher entered the classroom and did not blame Qianqian for being late, but gave him a kind look and walked up to the podium to announce the start of class. Forward didn't feel so nervous that he wanted to pee this time, "Maybe it's the reason why I peed on the way" Forward thought to himself, and touched the corner of his schoolbag again. The wooden sign was still hard and I was relieved.
