Uncle Hong has a son and a daughter, the son is called Hong Ban, and the daughter is called Hong Xia, in terms of age, Lao Xie (this name is really awkward) is older than Hong Ban, and Hong Xia is the same age, but in terms of generation, they are Lao Xie's uncle and aunt. Hong Xia was very beautiful at that time. And Hong Ban has a more silent personality, few words, but kind-hearted. Lao Xie and the two siblings had a great time. I can't bear to go. It happened that during the summer vacation, Lao Xie's father let his son live at Uncle Hong's house for two months. During those two months, Lao Xie saw the power of Uncle Hong's witchcraft, and when he was young, he encountered many supernatural events because he was too curious, and also witnessed Hong Xia's accidental death. Since then, Lao Xie's courage has become much smaller, especially afraid of ghosts and things related to the dead.

After graduating from high school, Lao Xie went to study in a foreign country, married a wife and had children after graduation, and was busy for the family. In addition, Uncle Hong is only a distant relative of his cousin, because he will never have the opportunity to go to Yunnan again. Although Lao Xie was short when he was young, he was not fat, and he did not have a top, and he looked quite pleasing to the eye. But many men get blessed quickly after marriage, Lao Xie is a typical ≡ from the birth of his son, Lao Xie's weight will increase by several pounds every year, and the hair is getting less and less. More than 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Lao Xie has almost forgotten the family of Uncle Hong who is far away in Yunnan, and he has finally changed from a young man with a moderate stature to a short, fat and bald middle-aged man.

Now this matter is brought up by my cousin again. Lao Xie's wife asked why she had never heard Lao Xie mention it. Lao Xie said: "It's too far away, and it's not a close relative, and it's usually busy, so it's been many years." ”

Lao Xie's wife hurriedly asked, "Auntie, can that Uncle Hong cure my son's illness?" Old Aunt Xie said that she didn't know this, but she had to go to find out that she hadn't been in contact with this distant uncle for more than ten years. The only way to get in touch is the address, not even a phone. My cousin gave Lao Xie the address she had saved many years ago, so that he could take her son to Yunnan to try, anyway, they were all relatives, and it wouldn't cost a few dollars.

Lao Xie is a person who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he thinks that letting a witch doctor treat uremia is really a nonsense. I didn't care, my left ear listened to my right ear. But my son's illness is getting worse and worse, and he spends more and more money every day. It is the so-called "rushing to the doctor when you are sick". Lao Xie really couldn't stand his wife's complaints, so he and his wife had to travel thousands of miles with their weak son to a village in Tengchong, Yunnan.

Originally, I was worried that if I hadn't been in touch for many years, the address would be invalid, and people would move. Lao Xie was lucky, Uncle Hong lived in the old house of the local Miao people, all of which had a history of hundreds of years, and no one moved easily, and it was easy to find Uncle Hong's home under the guidance of the villagers. But Lao Xie is also unlucky, this Uncle Hong went to the mountains more than two years ago to find a special kind of Indian spider, accidentally fell off the cliff and died, and even the bones were not found, and now there is only his son Hong Ban at home.

Hong Ban is thirty-five years old, tall, a head taller than Lao Xie, and his appearance is quite handsome, his eyes are especially bright, but his personality has not changed at all.

After listening to Lao Xie and his wife for a long time, Hong Ban was silent for a moment before he said, "Witchcraft is not omnipotent. ”

Lao Xie was deflated when he heard this, and his wife hurriedly asked: "Lao Xie's aunt said that your father had cured Lao Xie's illness before, and we came all the way here!" So what is the purpose of witchcraft? ”

"Expelling evil spirits, sometimes evil spirits are not only ghosts, but also lesions, let me try." Hong Ban said a few words like a jumping bean.

While they were chatting, many neighbors came to join in the fun. Many villagers had obviously forgotten that the short and fat old Xie in front of him had come to the village many years ago, and they all told him that Hong Ban's father was really powerful, and he could use spells to detain ghosts and gods and cure him for his illness and evil spirits. There was also an old man who was about to lose his teeth and said that Hong Ban's father could stick a bamboo pole in the river and not sink for several days, and his father would sit at home and chant a mantra, so that the bamboo pole on the river would sink, and the whole village had seen it. It is also possible to put two freshly split pieces of bamboo together without any seams in between.

After listening to these people's gossip, Lao Xie was not surprised, because he had seen it more than 20 years ago. The wife felt very godly, but she was more concerned about whether her son's illness could be cured. In Hong Ban's house, Lao Xie and his wife didn't see Hong Ban's wife and children, but they didn't ask much, thinking that maybe they were going back to their parents' house to visit relatives. Giant Concord.

In the evening, Hong Ban began to use local witchcraft to cast spells for Lao Xie's son, in the ancestral hall of the Hong family for four statues, about half a person tall, according to Hong Ban, there are Chiyou God, Thunder God, Wu God and witchcraft ancestors, every time the Miao wizard before casting a spell, must worship these four gods, otherwise there is no mana. He asked Lao Xie's son to lie flat on two benches side by side, closed his eyes, and placed two sticks of incense on the young man's head and feet. Except for Lao Xie and his wife, there was no one else in the ancestral hall. After the gate was closed, Hong Ban turned on the electric light in the ancestral hall and stood beside Lao Xie's son and chanted a spell.

Lao Xie and his wife sat next to them, watching the thin green smoke from the two incense sticks gradually turn into closer to each other from standing upright, and then continue to float in front of Hong Ban after getting together, making both of them look stupid. Lao Xie's son trembled all over, as if he had malaria. Hong Ban inhaled hard, put the cigarette in his mouth, and spat it in the young man's face, repeating it several times until the two sticks of incense were burned.

Such spells were cast three times in a row, each time spaced three to five days apart. According to Hongban, the ghosts and gods don't sit at home every day waiting for you to detain them, they also have to wander around to help other wizards. Sometimes catching them out of the area and you have to wait.

Lao Xie's wife was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't believe it in her heart, but when she saw such a supernatural scene with her own eyes, she hoped it was true.

When the effect came, his son's illness was significantly reduced, and Lao Xie and his family were so happy that they wanted to dance, held Hong Ban's hand and took out five thousand yuan to give him the fortress. Hong Ban said that he didn't take anything, Lao Xie and his wife forced them together, Hong Ban only said two words: "Don't." "I had no choice but to put the money away again.

After staying at Hong Ban's house for a few more days, on the eve when Lao Xie's family was about to go home, his son had an accident. That night, his son had severe stomach pain, and when he went out to the toilet, he found that the urine that came out was all bloody. He was frightened and hurriedly went to call his parents, and Hong Ban used a horse-drawn carriage to take Lao Xie and his wife and his son to the city hospital overnight. The diagnosis was desperate, and the complications of nephritis intensified and became more serious than before.

Now Lao Xie's wife quit, she cried endlessly, crying and scolding, and said unrelentingly that Hong Ban had harmed her son. Lao Xie hurriedly dissuaded, the doctor listened to the noise in the corridor, came out to understand the situation, and told them that it was normal for the patient's condition to worsen, his nephritis was already in an advanced stage, and the complications were gradually increasing, but it was just a seizure at this juncture. But Lao Xie's wife likes to drill the horns of the bull and refuses to give up. Hong Ban didn't explain much, just looked at her coldly. Lao Xie scolded his wife twice, and she left Tengchong in anger and went back to Hubei by herself.

Lao Xie apologized to Hong Ban, but Hong Ban didn't say much, only said that he would come to me again if he had something. Lao Xie asked him for contact information, but mobile phones were not as popular as they are now, so Hong Ban gave him the phone number of the village chief's house.

Lao Xie returned home with his son and found that his wife had moved back to her parents' house, so he had to send his son to the hospital alone to continue treatment. In order to find a way to make money, Lao Xie works two or three odd jobs a day, but he is relatively short, a little fat, loves to sweat, and will wheezing after working for a long time, and is often dismissed by the employer.

In the blink of an eye, Lao Xie's son has been ill for a year, Lao Xie has spent all the family's savings, and he has also begun to borrow money from relatives. Although it was his son who was sick, his wife often scolded Lao Xie, saying that he was useless and couldn't make a lot of money. For a man, the most shameful thing is to be told by his wife that he is unproductive, but Lao Xie knows that he has no ability to make a lot of money, so he has to listen silently.

That night, Lao Xie and his high school classmates were drinking in a small restaurant, and the classmate opened a company in Wuhan that made low-grade health care products. At the beginning, the business was not very good, and I couldn't recruit anyone, but then the business became bigger and bigger, and there were thousands of business personnel just for development.
