As soon as I heard this, I immediately remembered what my mother had told me about a certain uncle in the countryside. He has this problem of sleepwalking in the middle of the night to go to the market, and when he comes back, his feet are full of blisters. Usually, this uncle was always chattering, and everyone said that he was mentally abnormal, and then he died in his forties.

"Why do you have this symptom and what causes it?" I asked. Lao Zhao said that if I knew, I wouldn't need to ask for a Buddhist card, I found a god and a witch in the local area, and I also went to the Taoist temple to let the Taoist chief do the magic of exorcising evil spirits. None of them worked. I thought to myself, this kind of thing is really bad, and my distant uncle in the countryside is the same, and no one knows when he has that kind of problem.

Talking about his symptoms, Lao Zhao's chatterbox opened and described to me in detail the details of those sleepwalking incidents. Lao Zhao said: "The first time, now I can have almost three months, that night I dreamed out of the village, walking in the field, the weeds are taller than me, I don't know where to go, anyway, I seem to know very well ∵in my heart as if I walked, I saw a light in the distance, as if there were many people talking." I walked over to see it, and there was a big market, and there were all food sellers on both sides of the road. Steamed buns, rice, stir-fried vegetables, crockpot soup, noodles and dumplings are steaming, and big lanterns are hung in every house, and most of the night is brighter and more lively than daytime. There are also many people in the set. Crowded next to each other, I just looked at this house and that house in the crowd. No matter what I was looking at, the stall owner would take the food in his hand and hand it to me. I'm so hungry, so I'm going to touch my pocket. But I didn't bring any money, so I left. From one end of the market to the other, I don't know how long I walked, and I didn't know how tired I was. Out of the bazaar or the big field, there was nothing in the black and dark land, it was all weeds. I walked deep and shallow, and at last I got out of the wilderness, went back to the village, got into bed, and fell asleep. When I got up the next day, I saw that the soles of my feet were full of big bubbles, and it hurt for several days to disappear. ”

Listening to his story, I don't know why, I felt an inexplicable chill rise in my heart.

Lao Zhao said: "You said that if you were dreaming, but as long as you wake up, you will know that it is a dream." But this dream is just like the real thing, and I still said to my wife, how did I go out to the market last night, and you didn't pay attention to what I was wearing? She didn't know at all, and said you didn't seem to go out at all last night. She sleeps lightly, and wakes up at the slightest movement, but if I really get dressed and go out in the middle of the night, she can't be unaware. But if you say it's a dream, what's the matter with the bubbles on my feet? ”

"Maybe it just so happened that your wife was too tired that night, so she slept soundly. I didn't pay attention. I explained. Lao Zhao said that it was impossible, because he often sleepwalked for a while, once every three or five times, and it was impossible not to be heard by her every time.

I asked if every sleepwalking was a night market, and Lao Zhao said, "It's not just a market." Another time I passed by the cemetery at the entrance of the village, I don't know why, I had to go through the cemetery to take a shortcut, but there was a man in white clothes, with long hair, just like the kind of ghost in the TV, fluttering to chase me, scared me to run, you said that this ghost is also energetic, the chase is not over, I don't know how long I ran, I saw that I ran back to my yard, and then looked back, how can there be any ghost in white clothes. ”

"Then you woke up in the morning and found that your feet were blistered again?" I asked with a smile. Lao Zhao said that it was not only blistering. Even the cloth upper was worn out.

I thought to myself, this old Zhao must have put on his shoes in the middle of the night without clothes, walked back and forth in the outer room, and went to bed a few hours later, so his feet were blistered and his shoes were worn out. And his wife can't find out yet.

Lao Zhao said again: "The most important thing is that once I went to a house, how to say, I also went in the middle of the night. First we went to the wilderness, and then we passed a big pit, which was full of big stones. Then I saw that there was a courtyard wall that was so high, and I wondered whose house this was, how could such a generous house be built in this wilderness, and there was no one in the traffic. I walked along the courtyard wall for more than half an hour before I saw a door. I went up and banged on the door, but it was unlocked at all, and it opened with a push. It's a compound inside, but it's beautiful, I've seen Qiao's compound on that TV, good guy. It's bigger than that courtyard! I didn't light a lamp or anything, it was dark and dreary. It seemed to be cloudy that night, there was no moon, and there was no one in the courtyard, so I went to the main house. There was still no one in the hall, so I thought about going to the wings on both sides to have a look, and if there was anyone I told him that I was lost, could I stay here for the night, and then leave the next day. There was no one in the wings. There was a yard behind the house, and I thought to myself that the bedrooms of large families were generally in the backyard, so I looked for them from house to house, and there were two people sleeping on the bed in one bedroom, and there was a gauze tent hanging outside the bed. I opened the tent. There was a man and a woman lying down, both combing their ancient hair, I stretched out my hand to push it, these two people were as if they were asleep, and they couldn't wake up. ”

The more I listened to him. I became more and more anxious in my heart, thinking that this old Zhao's thief is really bold enough, he dares to enter any house, even if he dreams I don't dare to do this, but he dares. Lao Zhao continued: "I came out to leave this house, and I saw a lot of antique jade in the hall in the front yard, so I took a piece of jade pendant and put it in my pocket. After leaving the gate, I walked in the field for another half day before returning to the village road. When I woke up the next morning, the blisters on my feet were worse than the previous ones. That's not all, Brother Tian, guess what? My wife washed my clothes, and when I turned through my pocket, I really found a piece of jade pendant! ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but say, "Master Zhao, are you making up a story with me?" ”

Lao Zhao was anxious: "What do you mean by making up stories?" I call this foreign long distance. Just to make up nonsense for you? "I thought to myself, for a few dollars a minute of international calls, this self-proclaimed farmer can't have such idleness.

My curiosity rose again: "Then you take a picture of the jade pendant and send it to me, otherwise I won't believe it." "Lao Zhao said that he wouldn't send it, so I asked him to take photos with his mobile phone. Then I asked someone to use the computer to send it to my QQ.

Lao Zhao said: "Then I have to let my son come back from school and get it for you, I don't know anything about computers." My son is studying in a university in another country, and he has a very thin computer in his dormitory that can fit in a backpack, and he goes back to his hometown once every half a month and comes back next week. "Finally. Lao Zhao read his mobile phone number to me and hung up.

To be honest, I have some faith in the three stories told by Lao Zhao, after all, my distant uncle in the countryside also has this symptom, but what jade pendant is too outrageous, isn't this a ghost story. But thinking about it again, Lao Zhao has no reason to deceive me with the fake jade pendant, what can he get? There's no motivation either.

I texted Fang Gang and Lao Xie and asked them to show me if there were any positive and negative cards that worked well, attracting wealth and warding off evil spirits. The next morning, I received MMS messages from Fang Gang and Lao Xie respectively. There are three or four Buddha cards each, the fortune has the cat fetus passing by, the golden head is hot, the goddess of fortune, and the evil spirits are the ear to report to the gods, the transfer road Weng and the ancient method of patting the baby.

I sent these pictures to Lao Zhao's mobile phone by MMS and asked him to pick them himself. My card has opened the functions of international long-distance and text messages, but Lao Zhao's mobile phone is estimated to be none. More than two hours later. Lao Zhao called again: "Boss Tian, if I go from the village to the county, I have to run for more than an hour, alas, it's hard." That's right. What kind of picture of a cat fetus passing by, why do I feel numb when I look at it, is it a psychological effect? ”

I smiled: "Thai Buddha is very particular about the edge of the eye, you have to see which picture has induction, it means that you have a fate with it." Lao Zhao said that it was no wonder that he felt this way, and asked me which one was good to ward off evil spirits, and he didn't understand. In view of Lao Zhao's problem of sleepwalking in the market, I suggested that he ask the ancient method of patting the baby, which is made with the blessing of the ancient method of northern Thailand, which has the effect of warding off evil spirits and warding off disasters.

Lao Zhao said: "The two together will cost 8,200 yuan, if you don't give a 9% discount, then I'll think about it again." "I said don't say nine percent off, I won't sell it for less than ten yuan, since it was introduced by Boss Jiang, I should have heard him say whether my goods have any effect. And for customers like you who don't understand, you can't see it at all when you encounter profiteers or even fake cards.
