Chapter Eighty-Seven: Falling into a Dream
When I got out of the car and came to the community where Liu Yan's family lived, it was getting dark, the scenery in the distance was blurry, and the evening breeze was cool and swaying, and the shadows of the trees were mottled, which diluted a lot of the heat in the daytime.
The figures of the two people were pulled by the elder, half on the ground, half reflected on the wall of the community, like two snakes in a trance. The street lights flashed twice, attracting a lot of small flying insects. Xiao Ming stood under the street lamp with a big pocket on his back, "Forget it, let's get down to business first, it's not easy to do if we miss the hour." Zhao Yan seemed to hear a few stomach "gurgling, gurgling" sounds, and it seemed that Xiao Ming was a little hungry.
Usually Xiao Ming is food-oriented, and he will never wronged himself, unlike Zhao Yan, when he was in college, his family situation was very bad, he worked outside by himself, and sometimes he was very energetic when he was busy for three days and three nights without eating, so Xiao Ming would always joke, saying that one day he must die earlier than him, Zhao Yan will always laugh when he encounters this situation, and only he knows the suffering. However, he also knew that Xiao Ming had no malicious intentions, just a joke between friends.
Just called Liu Yan's father, just when he was going out to go back to the company and had something to deal with, there was only Liu Yan himself at home, his father was grateful for a while, but Zhao Yan was helpless for a while, if his father knew what they did every time he came, I don't know if he would be scared crazy. Zhao Yan always has a feeling that he has deceived others and asked others to say thank you.
He shook his head and turned around and walked towards Liu Yan's house with Xiao Ming, he knew that it was useless to say anything, he could only do what Xiao Ming said, solve the problem first, some things are not visible, and explaining to others will cause boundless misunderstandings.
But when he lifted his foot, he suddenly felt someone calling him, "Teacher, help!" Zhao Yan was stunned, turned around, only to see Xiao Ming following behind, obviously didn't hear anything, thought about it, maybe he was too nervous, turned his head and didn't think about it.
Within a few minutes, the two came to Liu Yan's house, took out the key from under the carpet at the door, opened the door and lit the lamp. The room lit up instantly.
The surroundings were the same as the last time he came, and Liu Yan's door was not completely closed. When Xiao Ming put down his bag and walked directly to the door, he looked inside through the crack in the door, and Zhao Yan followed behind and stood on tiptoe to look inside.
Liu Yan was even thinner than before, more than 1.80 meters tall like a noodle, lying there motionless with his face facing inside. There was no reaction when the room came in, and it was impossible to tell that the breath was really like a dead corpse.
Xiao Ming took a step back and slowly closed the door, then walked to the sofa and lit a cigarette and inhaled vigorously. Zhao Yan followed and sat on the ground, anyway, the floor was still very dry and quiet, watching Xiao Ming wait for him to speak.
"What do you feel?" Xiao Ming didn't look at Zhao Yan, opened his mouth and spit out a smoke ring and asked.
Zhao Yan was stunned, I don't know what Xiao Ming meant, Xiao Ming didn't seem to expect Zhao Yan to give any answer and continued: "People have three souls and seven spirits in charge of people's essence, qi, and spirit, all of which are indispensable, I said last time, this child is somehow missing one soul and two souls, in fact, in medicine, we just call him a lack of soul, or it can be said that he has lost his soul, you may know that some children are scared and can't wake up all day, and there are very few adults when they are scared, because the child's soul is not stable, This is also where children can see some unclean things, and when they grow up, their memories are blurred and they can't tell whether they see ghosts or dreams, and they forget them. But because the soul didn't go far after being scared, he would come back as soon as he called it, but Liu Yan didn't know who the soul was detained, and he couldn't call it back, you saw that the child was getting thinner and thinner, and now he didn't even say crazy things, if I was not wrong, in more than seven days, at least three days, this child just called the soul back, and became dementia. ”
Although Zhao Yan didn't understand everything, he also knew the seriousness of the situation, and he knew that Xiao Ming would not finish laughing in this situation, "Then how sure do you have to save him?" Zhao Yan didn't ask anything else but went straight to it, he knew that even if he asked, he couldn't understand it, no matter what, he had to save people first.
Xiao Ming pressed the cigarette into the ashtray, then leaned back sharply, half of his body fell into the sofa: "I am not sure at all, I can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor." Before Zhao Yan opened his mouth to oppose Xiao Ming, he continued: "This time it's not just him who is in danger, you also have to help, but I can't guarantee your safety, maybe you won't wake up like him, do you still want to save people?" ”
Zhao Yan opened his mouth wide and wanted to ask something, but he still didn't ask after opening it for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "Xiao Ming has to save this child no matter what, I don't care, you don't have to think about me, you just have to tell me what to do." ”
Xiao Ming seemed to know that Zhao Yan would say this, he didn't look at him, and lit a cigarette again, he has been a friend for so many years, he knows Zhao Yan's temper very well, that is a bad person, a person who can put his life into it for an irrelevant person. That's why he's been helping him with everything over the years, and that's the main reason.
Xiao Ming spit out a smoke ring and said slowly: "If you want to save someone, you must first know who his soul is withheld, last time I was already collecting the soul but almost lured that evil ghost out, I was not prepared to suffer a loss secretly, this time to put it bluntly, it is to directly rob the child's soul with the ghost who detained the soul." It's good to be able to snatch it back, but if you can't get it back, the child can only be like this for the rest of his life. ”
"Can't you grab a few more times?" Zhao Yan interjected and asked.
"Fart, you should be selling vegetables, you can still bargain, the soul is very fragile, every time a child has to rest for a long time after calling the soul, this is the truth, otherwise why do the ancient Taoist priests want to practice but the body soars, it is because their own soul can't withstand the wind of this world." Zhao Yan didn't understand either, but he knew that he had asked a stupid question, scratching his head and motioning for Xiao Ming to continue.
"Actually, Zhao Yan, I don't know why these things are related to you, generally this kind of thing is better for his relatives, after all, the blood is connected, but now this situation is not allowed, but you are his teacher and a related person, and in fact, Zhao Yan You are one of the few people who can see ghosts, and your physique is more yin." Zhao Yan just wanted to scold, Xiao Ming waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, you listen to my explanation, I'm not laughing, this kind of yin is to say your eight characters, that is, life, a kind of metaphysical thing, people like you are born with this kind of ghosts and gods and the like, and you can also attract ghosts, it is impossible for others to see ghosts once in their lives, it is common for people like you to see ghosts." Think about whether you had a lot of situations when you were a kid that you couldn't explain. ”
Zhao Yan thought about it, don't say it, he has been weak and sick since he was a child, he always has a fever, and it is not good to go to the hospital, so he had to come back in the end, when his grandmother was still alive, he would burn some paper, and then muttered something to be fine in a few days. When you don't go underworld, you will always see some black shadows passing by, and if you look closely, there is nothing, and sometimes you feel that there are always people following behind, but there is no one when you turn back.
The more Zhao Yan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he shuddered involuntarily. Xiao Ming smiled and said: "Actually, you didn't open the eye of heaven, you can only feel it, you won't see it, if you want me to open the eye of heaven for you, you will be more direct." ”
Zhao Yan hurriedly shook his head: "Forget it, you still tell me what to do." ”
"Look at your guts, but usually if you don't provoke them, they won't provoke you, because everyone has their own rules, it's strange to say, why are these things related to you, and when this side is over, I'll open an altar for you to see your fortune." Saying that, he took a few more puffs of cigarette and said: "So for a while I will put you in a state of suspended animation, you go into that child's dream, go and pull his soul back, but I am afraid that if you don't get it right, you will also be detained by that ghost, so I said that you have to think well, if you don't succeed, you will never wake up." After speaking, Xiao Ming stood up and waited for Zhao Yan's decision
