Grandpa was afraid that he would be afraid of trouble and refused, so he hurriedly borrowed the words of others to praise him to flatter him, saying, "I know that this matter is more difficult, and I didn't plan to come to you." But the people of Munigou said that all things like ghosts and spirits, Abba Xu you have never been unable to solve. That's why I'm here for you. ”

He was really very useful when he heard this, and smiled heartily: "Of course! Of course! Since I am Abba Xu, I have to solve all the problems for everyone! What Abba from other villages may be able to do, I will surely be able to do. I can do what Abba in other villages can't do. Some of the other villagers said bad things about me behind my back, which was a sign of their own incompetence and envy of my ability! ”

There will be an Abdash in every village. Therefore, there is also competition between Abba Xu and Abba Xu, often secretly competing. It really responds to the saying that peers are enemies.

Abba Xu of Radish Village is the most famous in the Munigou area, and it is inevitable that opponents will say some gossip behind his back to destroy his prestige and reputation.

"But it's a weak man who is tracking you, or a weak king, it's really troublesome. So you have to stay in our radish village for a few more days, and I have to be prepared enough to help you solve your problems. Abba Xu said cautiously.

So, my father lived in the radish village with yellow mud walls everywhere for a few days.

In just a few days, Abba Xu not only prepared for the affairs of the weak king, but also showed off his strength in front of his father from time to time. Because Daddy is a foreigner and will leave the village after a few days, Abba Xu is not worried that Grandpa will become his competitor, so he generously explains to Grandpa his methods of exorcism and ghost hunting, so that Grandpa gains a lot.

Grandpa was not idle, and when he had time, he helped the people in the village to read fortune telling, so as to have a deeper understanding of the reincarnation techniques taught by the master of the sea.

One day, a man from the village came to Abba Xu, saying that he had been hearing a knock on the door in the middle of the night, but when he opened the door, he saw no one.

Abba Xu took his usual animal bone seal and sheep's horn hexagram, and followed the man out the door. Before going out, he naturally wouldn't forget to pull his father.

The first few times Grandpa went with him to exorcise evil spirits, most of them were to find lost things, or chant incantations against windows and walls, which was not much different from the Taoist priests who Dad saw in his hometown drawing talismans and chanting incantations. This time there was a rare thing that sounded strange, and Grandpa was naturally willing to follow. In order to join in the fun, it is really boring in this village. The second is to verify Abba's true strength.

When he arrived at the door of the house, his father found a red note hanging on the door. This is the custom of the Qiang people, and when there is a sick person in the family, they will hang a red note in front of the door. Abba Xu put the beast bone seal outside the threshold, and then recited the words on the beast bone seal, and the beast bone seal seemed to be alive, and after rotating it for a circle, it was tightly attached to the threshold. After reciting the incantation, Abba Xu said to his father that this was to block out the influence from the outside so that his hexagram could be divined accurately. Some shrewd spirits would watch him from outside the door for divination, and interfere with the direction and posture of the hexagram when he dropped it. In this way, he will not be able to divinate things accurately, and some important information will be missed.

Later, my grandfather told me that when my grandfather raised the threshold at home, he sprinkled a thin layer of bone powder between the wooden threshold and the green bricks. In this case, my grandfather and grandfather are much more accurate than the fortune tellers outside.

After the bones were sealed, Abba Xu went to the middle of the house and threw his hand, and the hexagram fell to the ground.

There are two pieces of the hexagram, one positive and one negative, which together are complete horns. Grandpa has long known about hexagrams, and knows that throwing two plane-up hexagrams is called yang hexagrams; Throw two arc-facing hexagrams upward, called yin hexagrams; Throwing a hexagram with a plane facing upwards and an arc facing upwards is called a holy hexagram.

Both of the hexagrams on the ground are facing upwards in an arc. Yin hexagram.

Abba Xu's face suddenly sank.

Dad also guessed that this time the problem was more difficult to solve.

"There's a ghost." Abba Xu first said it to his father in Chinese, and then to the person in Qiang. Then he stepped out of the threshold and looked at it, as if imagining the reason for the knock at the door at night. After a while, he stepped into the threshold again and looked at the woman lying silently on the bed. Witch doctors do not divide their families. He rolled the woman's eyes like a doctor, opened her mouth and looked at her tongue, and felt the veins in her wrist.

The woman's husband looked eagerly at Abba Xu, and the result was good or bad for him to listen to him only a word.

At this time, Abba Xu seemed to be really stumped, and he didn't speak for a long time, his eyes were solemn.

"Who passed by this gate last night?" Abba Xu asked, standing in the doorway and looking out into the street.

Obviously, this was not for Grandpa, who chatted with Abba Xu for a night and spent the night at Abba Xu's house.

This was obviously not for the head of the household, who had said that he did not see anyone outside the door when he heard a knock on the door and opened the door.

The street outside the door was empty.

Dad didn't understand Abba Xu's words, so he asked Abba Xu, "Who did you just talk to?" ”

Abba Xu said quietly: "Talk to a friend of mine." ”

A gust of wind swept across Daddy's face.

"What friend?" Grandpa already understood seven or eight points in his heart, and the remaining two or three points were missing his answer.

Seeing that no one here could understand Chinese except for his father, Abba Xu said bluntly: "Don't look at my usual ghost hunting, as if I don't share the sky with ghosts." Actually, some of them are my best friends. I'll help when it's in trouble. When I encounter something that I can't solve, it will return the favor to me. ”

"It's not so much like a friend and a bit like taking advantage of each other." Daddy said.

Abba Xu didn't care and said, "Only when you have interests can you become friends." Without interests, there is no intersection, and it is difficult to become friends. For example, I promised to help you solve the matter of the weak man this time, but also to use you, an outsider, to prove my strength. When I do that, Abba Xu in the other villages will be convinced. Because other Abba Xu has never been able to solve the matter of the weak man. ”

Grandpa was dumbfounded.

Seeing that Grandpa was surprised, Abba Xu frowned and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Please forgive me for being so straightforward." There is a saying in your Chinese that money can make ghosts grind. I drove the ghost to help me do things, and all I did was give it money and provide for it. So I have to take a certain benefit from others. ”

Grandpa has long noticed that this Abba Xu has to collect something every time he finishes running errands for others. Sometimes it's tobacco, sometimes it's live chickens, sometimes it's wine, and more often it's money. If it was someone else, he might be embarrassed or pretend to be embarrassed when he received money and gifts, but he took it for granted and did not change his face. If others give less, he will put on an unhappy face. When others saw that he was not happy, they were afraid that he would not be able to do his job well next time, so they immediately made up for another gift.

After he received the gifts and went home, he would do another ritual in his own home, killing chickens and dancing swords, burning paper and incense. Whenever this happens, there is a wind in the house for no reason. At this time, my father knew that Abba Xu was sacrificing to the ghosts who secretly helped him with his errands, so that the ghosts could eat and drink well to show filial piety.

Abba Xu returned to the man's room and sat down in a chair and made a gesture of smoking. The man hurriedly offered the good cigarette hidden in the room respectfully and let him smoke it.

The man saw Abba Xu exhaling a round smoke ring happily, and seeing that he was pleasant, he hurriedly approached him and chattered while gesticulating. Based on the man's gestures and eager expression, Daddy guessed that he was asking a question about how long it would take to get better.

Abba Xu said impatiently, presumably expressing anger at the questioning of others.

He beckoned to his grandfather and said, "You may have to wait a while, and you can also sit and rest." ”

"What are you waiting for?" Daddy asked.

"Wait for my friend to come and tell me what happened." He said.

The three of them sat opposite each other for about two hours, and finally the wind picked up at the door, rolling up the leaves and muck on the ground, and whining. Abba Xu immediately put down his cigarette and ran to the door in small steps.

He stood in the doorway for a moment, listening with both ears.

Neither the father nor the man in the house dared to disturb him.

The wind was weakening. Leaves and muck fell back to the ground. Abdash turned back to his seat and spoke to the man, which made his face red.

Grandpa was curious, and just as he was about to ask, Abba Xu took the initiative to explain the situation to his father.

"It turned out to be a roe deer!" Abba Xu said indignantly, "That roe deer made this place his home, knocked on the door at night and entered the house, and after entering the house, he slept with his wife." His wife was fascinated by the roe deer, and she didn't know that it was the roe deer that pressed on her, and thought it was her man. After doing that with his wife using the ecstasy method, the roe deer went back to the mountains before the sun came out. His wife did too much with the roe deer, and her body was infected with evil qi, so she became sick like this. ”

At that time, my grandfather didn't experience many ghost things, and I was shocked to hear Abba Xu say that the roe deer was charming.

"How could such a thing happen?" Grandpa was surprised.

Abba Xu did not allow others to question him, shook his hand, and said, "You don't believe it? There must have been a roe deer scratch on the inside of her arm! I told her to show you! ”

Abba Shri spoke again to the man. The man was as surprised as his father.

The man walked up to the woman's bed, pulled her hand out of the quilt and looked, and sure enough, there were several scratches on the inside of both arms!

Abba Hsu explained that the roe deer was too small to hold a woman, and its two claws could only grasp the inside of a person's arm. Because of this, the man didn't see anything when he opened the door, and the roe deer had already slipped in through the crack in the door below.

Grandpa was dumbfounded and convinced.

Abba Xu asked the woman at the bedside if she noticed anything unusual.

Only then did the woman seem to have come to her senses, and she whispered something.

Abba Xu translated to his father, saying that the woman remembered that every night before doing that thing, she would smell the fragrance of the whole house. The smell is not only good, but also makes people feel irrepressible and shy to a certain extent.
