Chapter 289: Cat Spirit Mountain 7
The two of them entered the house and sat for a while, when they suddenly heard the whining of the wind outside.
Daddy immediately bounced up from his chair and rushed out the door like a frightened mouse.
Feng Junjia didn't expect his father to be so excited, and wanted to tell him to slow down, so as not to fall. But before his shout came out, his father's figure had already gone out.
By the time Feng Junjia rushed out, his father had already lit a cigarette. However, Grandpa did not put the cigarette in his mouth, but squeezed it in his hand steadily.
"What about the ghost? What about ghosts? Feng Junjia looked around, but didn't see anything. The whine was gone. There wasn't a hint of wind outside. The surrounding trees and grass were motionless, as hard as steel.
Grandpa said, "Look at the smoke." β
Feng Junjia looked at the cigarette in his father's hand, and saw the smoke from the cigarette butt drifting in one direction, as if a naughty child was blowing on the cigarette butt.
Grandpa pouted Nunu in the direction where the smoke drifted and said, "Let's go, let's go in that direction." β
Feng Junjia and his father walked in that directionβ΅ when they reached a fork in the road, their father said, "Wait a minute." β
Soon, the direction of the smoke changed, pointing to one of the forks. Grandpa asked Feng Junjia to hold the cigarette, then took out another one from the small bag, pressed the cigarette butt to the burning cigarette butt, and then took two puffs. "Alright." Daddy said, throwing the cigarette that was about to burn on the ground, extinguishing it with his foot, and walking in the direction of the new cigarette.
After lighting ten cigarettes repeatedly, Grandpa and Feng Junjia came to a remote mountain pass.
As soon as he arrived at the mountain pass, Feng Junjia trembled. He whispered to his grandfather, "This is called the Blind Cave." β
"Oh, so the blind man's pass is here!" Grandpa suddenly realized. Grandpa had long heard that there was a place called "Blind Man's Cave" here, saying that it was very evil, and anyone who came here at night would become "blind". The "blind" is not really blind, but he can't see his fingers and can't make out the direction. In the foggy season, the fog in other places has cleared, and the fog here is delayed until noon.
Some people say it's very humid, while others say it's a place for corpses. The meaning of the corpse is that if a corpse is buried here, the corpse will not decay and will most likely come back to life. There were people in their village who were too poor to have a piece of land of their own, so they were buried in this place where no one wanted, and there was not even a coffin, so they were rolled up with a straw mat and buried. A few days later, the man crawled out of the dirt and returned to the house where he had lived, startling everyone in the village. The villagers thought he had become a zombie and gathered to beat him to death, only to find out that he was not a zombie and had no inclination to harm others. He forgot almost everything in his life, and he would be happy to see his acquaintance, but he couldn't name his acquaintance, and his strength suddenly became so great that he could grab the horns and knock the ox to the ground. He lived in the village for more than a decade before dying again. This time, no one dared to bury him in the blind man's pass. He didn't make it back to the village.
Many years later, there was also a case of a person in my village who came back from the dead, and everyone said that he was buried in the place where the corpse was raised. After that person came back, he was also infinitely powerful and stupid, relying entirely on helping people do the hard work to change a mouthful of food for a cigarette to smoke. A bowl of rice with two or three chopsticks was stripped to the bottom, and after two puffs of a cigarette, the cigarette butts were squeaked. Later, he grew red fur all over his body, like an orangutan in a zoo.
Grandpa took a step from the mouth of the mountain pass, and sure enough, he found that the surroundings immediately became dark, and he could only see the dark red cigarette butt in his hand, and the fingers holding the cigarette butt could not be seen.
Daddy took a step back, and his fingers could see again.
"Sure enough, it's a blind man's pass!" Daddy sighed.
Feng Junjia didn't dare to go in, and said, "Ma Xiucai, what can I do about this?" We can't see anything when we go in, how can we find Xiaomi? β
Grandpa said, "It's already here, so you don't have to go in." β
"Don't go in?"
Grandpa nodded, and then shouted to the blind man: "Millet...... Millet...... Come back......"
As soon as Grandpa finished shouting, a burst of children's laughter immediately sounded in the blind man's col, which he couldn't see clearly. The laughter was very similar to what they had heard before, but with the laughter of one more person in it. Grandpa heard it, it was Xiaomi's laughter. She seemed to have mingled with the little ones and seemed very happy to play with them.
"Xiaomi...... Don't be playful...... Come home......" Daddy continued.
Feng Junjia opened his mouth, but did not shout a word. He may still be a little scared.
The children's laughter stopped. One of the little girls whispered, "Xiaomi, someone told you to go home." Don't go back, play with us. β
Another little boy's voice rang out: "Yes, stay here and play with us." β
Grandpa hesitated. How could this sporous ghost discuss with Xiaomi? The spore ghost would not have consulted with a child's soul like this. They either trick unsuspecting children into playing with them, or they forcibly pull and don't let the children goβ€ since they are deceived, they will not easily let the child's soul go back.
Feng Junjia finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted at the blind man who was pitch black: "Xiaomi, don't listen to them!" They're all hurting you! Come back soon! β
Feng Junjia's shout did not completely hide Xiaomi's words.
When Feng Junjia shouted, Grandpa heard Xiaomi's answer to those spores: "You didn't deceive me when I came here, but I volunteered." I just blame Ma Xiucai for not coming to see me yesterday. Since he's found everything, I'll go back first, and I'll come back to play with you next time. β
Daddy immediately understood. With the cultivation accumulated by Xiaomi during her lifetime, these little ghosts can't force her. She was angry that he didn't come here yesterday, so she took the initiative to play with those little ghosts.
She just wanted to worry him.
This is the nature of Xiaomi's spirit.
Grandpa knew that even when Xiaomi was alive, these natures existed, but at that time, Xiaomi's soul could contain the spirit, so he didn't show it. But not showing it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Everyone has a side that is unknown or even unknown to themselves, and when what is shown is outlawed, what is not shown will be revealed.
Feng Junjia didn't hear Xiaomi's voice when he shouted, and after shouting, he asked his father: "Xiaomi will listen to us and go back with us?" β
Grandpa nodded and said, "Yes." She will come back as soon as we get here. β
Feng Junjia will be skeptical.
Grandpa asked him, "Have you ever heard of the phrase 'people are small and big ghosts'?" "Grandpa is worried that Xiaomi's soul will come out later, but Feng Junjia doesn't know him.
Feng Junjia said: "I heard it. At this time, I mean something else, right? "His instincts were correct.
Grandpa explained to Feng Junjia again the words "people are small and ghosts" in front of Li Yaodong.
"You mean to say that Millet's soul is a little older than her actual age?"
Grandpa nodded and said, "Yes." So don't be too surprised to see her later. β
"Hmm." Feng Junjia nodded.
"Xiaomi...... Come back......" Daddy shouted to the blind man again. Although he already knew Xiaomi's thoughts, he still had to shout a few more times, lest Xiaomi's spirit be angry because he didn't call her a few more times.
Feng Junjia also called for Xiaomi on the side.
The two shouted and shouted, and saw Millet walking out of the Blind Ridge. She does look a few years older than the actual age of the current Xiaomi, but her face and eyes are extremely similar to the current Xiaomi.
"Xiaomi!" Feng Junjia was so excited that he stepped forward to hug her, but was pulled by his grandfather.
"Alright, let's go back." Grandpa said to her. He didn't want to let Xiaomi's boldness go too far, for fear that she would be even more presumptuous in the future. At the same time, Grandpa saw a gray mark on Xiaomi's face, like a bruise left after a small stick was drawn. Her face was much paler, as white as paper.
After saying that, Daddy couldn't help coughing.
When Xiaomi first appeared, it still had a negative expression on its face. When she heard her father's cough, Xiaomi hurriedly glanced at her father, and there was a faint worry in her eyes. But she quickly hid her worry again, still pulling the corners of her mouth down, still making an unhappy expression.
Feng Junjia heard his father's cough, and was also a little worried, and asked, "Why are you coughing?" Is it unwell? β
Grandpa actually knew very well in his heart that he had bowed down to the ghost just now, and the ghost must take what it wanted from him. He can't "cheat" other people's money and goods like Abba Xu, and can only use his own things to repay the ghost.
Grandpa shook his head and said, "It's out of the way." After all, when you are old, your body cannot be compared with when you were young. β
Xiaomi looked sideways, and immediately retracted.
"I'm really sorry to trouble you lately." Feng Junjia said apologetically.
Dad waved his hand, just wanted to say a few polite words, but his throat and eyes itched again, so he covered his mouth with his hand, coughed several times, and coughed so much that he bent down.
Feng Junjia hurriedly stepped forward to pat his father on the back.
Xiaomi stood aside, looking at her coughing father with two eyes that seemed empty and seemed to be meaningful.
Grandpa held on to the small tree next to him, stood with an ugly face for a while, and finally breathed a little smoother. He beckoned and said, "Let's go, let's go, go back early." The longer the soul is gone, the worse it becomes. β
Grandpa and Feng Junjia led Millet home.
After Daddy and Feng Junjia stepped into the house, Millet was gone.
Then, Mi's cry came from the house......
Before Feng Junjia entered the back room, her grandfather grabbed Feng Junjia and said, "If you see other children wanting to hug her or tease her in the future, you must stop it." β
Feng Junjia knew what his father meant, and nodded vigorously.
Grandpa sat at Feng Junjia's house for a while, accompanied Xiaomi for a while, and then returned home in moonlight.
As soon as he got home, my grandfather told my grandfather that Mr. Bai had been lying down for a day and had not eaten, so I was afraid that he would not be able to carry it.
