Chapter 6: Returning to the grandson
Their fears were soon confirmed by what had happened next, and they immediately went out to look for someone, but when they reached the head of the village, they saw people talking about how someone was setting fire on the mountain.
It was raining that day, and on the small hillside in the northwest of the village, a figure could be vaguely seen squatting on the ground, next to which was a burst of green smoke running up. That was the cornfield they had been allocating to be cultivated, and Cha Wenbin explained to everyone with patience: "Burn ash and fertilizer, you see that this kid must have known that he didn't go to the meeting in the morning, and now he reflects that he went up the mountain to work in the rain." ”
was explained by him so far-fetchedly, although the others had some doubts in their hearts, they also followed them, after all, they are young educated youths, maybe people's consciousness is so high?
Rushing up the hill, the fat man was still kowtowing in place, and there was a large circle of unburned ashes on the ground, the candles were also lit, and the long incense was also inserted, but because of the rain, it had already been extinguished.
"Stone!" Cha Wenbin gasped and wiped the rain from his mouth and said, "What are you doing!" What are you doing here? ”
The fat man pouted his flesh and didn't talk, kowtowing vigorously there, and he didn't know what he was saying at all. Cha Wenbin was a little angry in his heart, and stepped forward and slapped him on the head, which made the fat man stumble into the mound in front of him and never got up again.
After being sent down the mountain, the fat man began to have a fever, this spring rain is the most hurtful, that year, although he suspected that the fat man was evil, but he did not dare to say, who dared to do the dancing god at home is undoubtedly equivalent to pushing himself into the fire pit. There is no way, Tulangzhong in the tunzi was also invited, at that time, there was a lack of medical treatment, but a few fever-reducing pills were prescribed, and it still didn't work if I ate it, and I stared at it half-confused, and there were more white places than black ones. Since he got home, he has been talking nonsense, he is from Sichuan, but what he speaks in his mouth is not Sichuanese, nor is it a Northeast accent, he can't hear anything clearly, he keeps making noise, and he will have convulsions every once in a while, and when he convulses, he sits up on the bed and clenches his teeth very tightly, his eyes are wide, and he is as timid as Xiaobai and he doesn't dare to look at it.
Father Miao was not idle, he got him a lot of herbs, but the medicine bar couldn't be poured into it at all, as long as something was stuffed into his mouth, he either shut up, even if he pried open his teeth and spit it out after a while. Tossed until dark, no one had a mind, looking at the fat man's guilty appearance, Cha Wenbin was determined to try his own way.
He told Daddy Miao that the fat man was probably evil, and told him about the fact that they went to dig the grave last night, and Daddy Miao didn't expect these children to do that, Tie Qing paced back and forth with a green face, and only his shadow was moving under the dim kerosene lamp in the room.
"Can it be a little later, when everyone in the tunzi is asleep, if this is seen, we will all have to put on a big-character poster tomorrow."
Seeing that Daddy Miao also agreed, Cha Wenbin went to prepare things, but now there is a shortage of guys, for the sake of the fat man, Daddy Miao cut down the peach tree in the yard, and made a temporary wooden sword according to Cha Wenbin's request, plus a few nails. He couldn't find anything else he wanted, such as yellow paper, incense sticks, and cinnabar, but some things could be found in the countryside, such as rooster blood, ink fountains, and so on.
Father Miao didn't believe that this teenage childish child still understood this, looking at the posture he put on was a bit decent, the dancing gods in the northeast are different from those in the south, they use the horse immortal, and Cha Wenbin's set is the Maoshan Taoist technique.
After a dozen or so efforts, there are only sporadic dogs barking in this tun, and today is the Qingming Festival, but no one has ever put a stick of incense on the grave, and no one has burned a piece of paper. In those years, it was not easy for the living, and no one cared about the dead anymore. Miao Lan and Xiaobai made a little meal according to his request, the big rooster was half-cooked, which was the "main dish" tonight, how to explain that it is estimated that this black pot Miao Daddy is planning to let the weasel on the mountain carry it.
Because he was afraid of leaking the news, Xiao Yi was arranged to go outside to sentry, and if someone came to look for him, he had to report it. Father Miao dragged Miao Lan and Xiaobai into his house, although there was atheism everywhere at that time, like their generation had never seen this kind of mage at all, but as soon as they heard that the fat man was a ghost, the girls would inevitably still be afraid.
"Wen Bin, can you do this?" Father Miao pushed the door into the house, and the fat man was being trapped on the bed with a rope by Cha Wenbin at this moment, and his mouth was also blocked with a ball of old clothes, his face was flushed, and his eyes looked like he was going to kill.
"I don't know," Cha Wenbin said: "In the past, the master at home was a Taoist priest, and he followed him around the rivers and lakes since he was a child. This is the first time Cha Wenbin has done this after leaving his hometown, and the fat man later said that he was used for Cha Wenbin's "break". At that time, Cha Wenbin was still childish, and he deduced from the records in the book, as well as some practices of Ma Sufeng, that the fat man should be entangled in dirty things, commonly known as: evil spirit!
How can you judge this evil spirit? The first is photophobia, he is afraid of seeing the sun and likes to hide in the corner. The second is the fear of the dog barking, since the fat man came back, the few hunting dogs in the yard of Daddy Miao have been barking at him, and they are very close to the fat man on weekdays, and it is said that dogs can see things that people can't see. Another point is to use a flashlight to shoot directly at his pupils, and there will be no contraction reaction, which is also the point that Cha Wenbin is most sure of.
There was a bowl of rooster blood and a brush in front of the bed, he took a deep breath, thought carefully about the appearance of the impression, and used the chicken blood to draw directly on the fat man's bare belly. I'm afraid that this hand can't be played without more than ten years of hard practice, and the talisman head to the talisman foot is the same, with muscles and bones, and with spirit and shape. After drawing this talisman, Cha Wenbin picked up a bowl of water on the table, bit his middle finger and stirred it three times, then took it in his mouth and sprayed it on the peach wood sword that he had just made in the afternoon, and then gestured to the fat man and shouted: "Water is amorphous, it is determined by the spell." In my hands, it is called divine water. The sky is clear, the earth is eternal, the people are immortal, and the ghosts are extinguished. One is like frost, two is like snow, and after three is gone, all evils are cut off. Ghosts lurk, and disasters are destroyed. Nandou was born, and his life was the same as the sun and the moon. Haste as a law! ”
Then he slashed at the fat man's head, body and limbs, this wooden sword has no blade, and Daddy Miao is still relatively rough when he does it, so he looks very powerful when he hits his head and face, in fact, he will retract his strength every time he really cuts, at best, it is just a beating.
Father Miao naturally saw it in his eyes, Cha Wenbin had to drink loudly every time he cut a sword, and the posture was so loud that Xiaobai and Lanzi next door hugged each other tightly and didn't dare to move. However, a strange thing happened, and with each sword, there would be an extra purple-black mark on the fat man's body, as if he had been whipped with a whip.
The fat man was slashed by Cha Wenbin with a wooden sword like a zebra, and soon the wailing sound in his mouth gradually changed tone, at first he could vaguely identify it as the fat man himself, but then the voice became thinner and thinner, and in the end it turned out to be a woman crying and wailing. The sound really made people panic, sharp and long, but Cha Wenbin didn't stop it, after chopping, he picked up the remaining bowl of black chicken blood and covered it on the fat man's head, and the guy was like knocking over a soy sauce bottle, and his face was black and brown all at once.
After doing this, he was sweating on his back, and walked over to tear off the rags in the fat man's mouth, and at this time the panting became a man's voice. Father Miao watched the whole process in his eyes, this Cha Wenbin really had a few brushes at a young age. Miao's father, who had these hands exposed, was convinced, and then asked Miao Lan to come over and fetch water to wash the fat man, and the two girls didn't dare to come in alive or dead. In the end, Cha Wenbin personally wiped the fat man, put a cold towel on his forehead, and poured some decoction into it, which made him groggy and fall asleep again.
When he was done, Daddy Miao turned around and went out without saying a word, Cha Wenbin felt that he was a little weird, so he chased a few steps outside and shouted: "Daddy is so late, where are you going?" ”
"Don't worry, I'm not here to expose you, I'm going to wipe your ass." He pointed to the top of the mountain, which was the location of the pit they had dug last night, and Cha Wenbin understood that the dirty things on this fat man's stain were probably related to the things in the grave, and he was the only one who went down, probably because he had encountered something.
"Why don't I go with you?"
"No need, stay put, the night of the Qingming Festival is not peaceful." Later, the next day, the Kung Fu Village said that the task of leveling the grave was completed again, and the two coffins did not know how Father Miao got them down from the mountain, and a fire burned down. When the fat man was burning, he was already fine, and he went to see the excitement, he came back and told Cha Wenbin that when the coffin was boiling, he could vaguely see a woman inside, as if it hadn't rotted yet. Anyway, he was like a nobody, and he didn't remember what he did, but Xiaobai and Lanzi avoided him for a while, and seeing him was like seeing a plague god. Later, I heard Hetu say that the fat man died by himself, and it is a tradition to go to the grave on the Qingming Festival, and the dead are waiting for that day. The fat man inexplicably stole Daddy Miao's incense candle and burned it, giving people a real filial piety and grandson......
