Chapter 159: Ghost Dealer 5
Daddy shivered.
Millet blushed, shocked and ashamed.
The woman continued: "I was taken aback...... Take it ...... Kick it off the bed...... But it climbed up again...... Monkey anxious monkey anxious...... I had to tie it up and spend the night...... Are you mistaken...... I can't do that with my child...... Speaking of which...... It's a shame......" Her voice grew quieter and quieter, and finally buzzed like a mosquito.
Grandpa's head was also buzzing, not only did he not help much, but he almost let her be insulted by the dog.
Xiaomi lowered her head and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I didn't know this would happen." ”
Grandpa sorted out his thoughts for a moment and said to the woman, "In this case, you can take us to your house to have a look." If it's not your child who was tricked into being turned into a dog, I'm going to have to figure out what it is. ”
"If it's not, what about my child?" Women are still worried about the whereabouts of their children.
Grandpa was completely unsure about this matter, so he had to confess: "I don't know." But figuring out what the hell that dog is all about may give me a little bit of inspiration to find your child. ”
So, the woman took Daddy and Millet to her house to see the strange dog.
Xiaomi thought that he had influenced his father's judgment, and promised others when his father did not agree, and rushed to conclusions when his father was still hesitating. Along the way, she bowed her head and remained silent.
Seeing her like this, her father comforted: "Xiaomi, why don't you speak?" ”
Xiaomi glanced at her father and asked, "Don't you blame me for making such a big joke?" ”
Grandpa shook his head: "What do I blame you for?" ”
"It's my impatience that affects you." Millet said.
"Don't think so. Your judgment is not mature enough, but there is some truth in it. Its performance really shows that it knows her. And she felt like she knew the dog. This can be associated with children. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, just correct them. ”
Millet nodded, her mouth opened, and she closed again without speaking.
"Do you have anything else to ask?" Grandpa said when he saw that she wanted to speak and stopped.
"If you're not mad at me, I'd like to ask you a question."
"I'm not mad at you. Are you going to ask me about last night's drinking? "Grandpa has already seen it.
Millet nodded.
Grandpa smiled: "Didn't I ask you to get a few hollow reeds before drinking?" I used that thing to lure the wine away. You see me drinking cup after cup, thinking it's in my stomach, but it's actually drained under the table. I didn't drink at all. ”
Xiaomi suddenly realized.
Grandpa's trick of fake drinking was learned when he traveled to Rehe Province when he was young. At that time, Rehe Province was located at the junction of present-day Hebei Province, Liaoning Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. He met a man known as the "Wine Overlord" near Inner Mongolia, and it is said that there is no one in the Mongolian steppe who can compare with his "Wine Overlord". The "wine overlord" claimed to have a wine worm in his stomach, which could turn wine, so he was not drunk in a thousand cups. Grandpa heard his name and naturally wanted to visit. "Wine Overlord" and his father hit it off at first sight, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. After his father stayed with him for a while, he finally told his father his secret, saying that he didn't drink much, but he would use a siphon-like method with a blindfold to suck up the wine in the cup, creating the illusion that he had finished drinking, so there was no opponent who drank alcohol. "Wine Overlord" also demonstrated with a few hollow straw poles in front of his father, and told him how to avoid people's eyes.
Grandpa was disappointed, he originally wanted to open his eyes, but he didn't expect this "wine overlord" to be fake.
Seeing that he was disappointed, the "Wine Overlord" laughed and said: "Most of the things that are far beyond the ordinary are fake, this is common sense, what are you disappointed about?" ”
Grandpa turned sadness into joy, and seemed to have an understanding.
When they arrived at the woman's house, the father asked the woman to bring a bowl of water and feed the dog.
I was hesitant to feed the water for fear that it would lead to other unforeseen things. Now that I know that this dog cannot be changed by a child, I naturally have no such worries.
When the dog had finished drinking the water, he was rolling on the ground in a blink of an eye, as if he had drunk poison. It rolled to the edge of the bed, and suddenly leaped, and its mouth grabbed the corner of the quilt on the bed. It tugged hard, and the quilt slipped from the bed to the floor. It rolled on the spot, and the quilt rolled up on its body, curled up like a person who is afraid of the cold in winter sleeps.
When the quilt was rolled up, it suddenly stopped moving, and it didn't bark.
"Dead?" The woman crouched down and pressed the quilt, which had been stained with a lot of dirt.
Grandpa and Xiaomi looked at each other, and they didn't know what was going on.
The woman spreads out the rolled up quilt like a cake, and there is a man lying inside!
"What the kid is dad?" The woman exclaimed. She reached out to touch the man, but her hand passed through the man's body and touched the quilt under the man's body. She was so frightened that she hurriedly retracted her hand.
The man seemed to have just woken up and immediately opened his eyes when he heard the woman's cry. He rolled over and stood up. The dog, which had been pressed behind him, was also exposed. At this time the dog remained motionless, as if asleep, and as if dead.
"I'm out!" The man said. The voice was so thin that it felt as if someone had pinched the neck.
"How are you? Didn't you go to the front to fight? The woman looked at the man for a long time.
The man put his hands on the woman's shoulders and cried, "I am dead......
The woman pursed her mouth, the flesh on her face twitched for a moment, and finally she cried out with a "wow". She wanted to hug him but couldn't, so her husband had to hold her, her shoulders shaking incessantly, crying very sadly.
Grandpa sighed beside him.
"How did you become a dog? And how was it bridged by that stranger? The woman finally wiped her tears and asked her husband.
Her husband did not answer, but asked, "Who are these two in the house?" Where have our children gone? I didn't see any of the children last night. His voice was a little louder, but he seemed to have a hard time talking.
The woman, who had just held back her tears, began to cry again.
When her husband saw her crying again, he felt that something was wrong, looked at her father, then at Xiaomi, and finally fixed his eyes on her father's body, and asked, "This gentleman, can you tell me what happened to my family?" ”
The father briefly told the woman about the loss of the child and the finding of the dog.
Her husband panicked, "You mistook this dog for my child!" The guy you met in the shop wasn't a wrinkler or a beast at all! He's a ghost dealer! Specializing in the sale of dead souls! ”
"Ghost dealers?" Daddy asked.
"yes, don't talk about him, where the hell is my child?" He pays more attention to where his children go.
"I also want to know where your child has gone." Daddy said.
Xiaomi asked curiously, "How did you get controlled by the ghost dealers?" If you say it, it might help us find your child. ”
The woman finally stopped crying again and asked her husband, "Yes, why did you die?" And how did it get into the dog's belly? ”
Her husband sighed and told the three of them what had happened.
He pointed to the motionless dog lying on the quilt and said that this was not an ordinary dog, but actually a Horcrux.
He said that his unit was completely annihilated on the front line, and after his death, he saw the souls of many comrades-in-arms wandering in the position, and he was reluctant to leave for a long time. He was the same. He wanted to speak, but the voice was so thin that he couldn't hear it, so he had to hold back his strength and speak with the greatest force, so that the voice he made was barely the same as when he was alive.
That night, several people came to the position where the corpses were strewn. Each of the visitors led several dogs.
The men picked among the corpses, as if they were buying vegetables in a vegetable market. When the corpse is seen in relative condition, the person squats down in front of the corpse, presses the index and middle fingers of his left hand against the corpse, and mutters words in his mouth.
As soon as the words were finished, one of the dogs brought with him suddenly barked like a madman, barked a few times and then fainted to the ground.
When the dog woke up from his fainting a moment later and got up from the ground, he found that the soul of a comrade was missing.
The men picked as they went. Soon, a man walked up to his corpse and pressed the index and middle fingers of his left hand against the middle of his corpse.
He was a little panicked. It was his corpse, after all.
The man began to chant words.
He immediately felt a wave of dizziness.
In his dizziness, he saw another dog bark and faint on the ground. He also felt uncontrollably collapsed. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had become the dog!
He was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, so he screamed and screamed. But as soon as he shouted out, it turned into a dog barking.
The man smiled, grabbed his dog's ear and said, "Don't be afraid. These dogs are all selected to be suitable for Horcruxes. You're in the Horcrux now. You yourself should know that you are dead, deprived of physical sustenance, and that your soul will soon dissipate. But if you are in a Horcrux, it means that the soul has a temporary dwelling place and will not dissipate. Of course, we're not here to be kind. We'll sell you to someone who needs a soul. As long as you cooperate, I will give you half of the proceeds of the sale. Of course you can't, I'll pass the money on to your living relatives. Do you have a loved one who needs money? ”
He thought to himself that he was dead, and that he would not come back to life no matter how much he struggled. Rather than die like this, it is better to earn some money and give it to his wife and children who are about to be left alone.
"Okay. I do. He tried to speak, but the sound of his voice still turned into a dog barking.
The man said, "You just have to nod or shake your head." ”
He nodded.
