Chapter 11: 1960 IV

Ma Sufeng saw that the child was born only a few days ago, his face was red, and he kept crying, Ma Sufeng was an old bachelor, where did he know how to take care of the child, and he was so anxious that he didn't have time to take care of it. I just think that it is important to save people, the air in this place is not good, and it is an old grave, snakes, rats, insects and ants are indispensable, and I am ready to quit with a basket, and I don't care about anything else.

Before leaving, he glanced at a tomb in front of him on his left, and there were two stone doors on the tomb road, which were already half-open. He thought about sending the child out first and then coming back, and crawled out of the thief hole naked......

Besides, Li Lao Er and Ma Sufeng still dare to go out as soon as they leave, hiding in their own house with a shell gun, any movement outside the door can make him raise his heart to his throat, and at this time he can only shout that all kinds of gods and Bodhisattvas and even Marx bless him.

The door of the yard opened with a "hula", and the big white goose that had been sleeping quietly with its head down woke up suddenly, and screamed at the yard with a flick of its neck, and the wings on its back kept stirring. It's a pity that a rope tied it to the door knocker, and the old goose struggled desperately like crazy, and many feathers were taken off from his body.

There was such a big movement in the yard all of a sudden, how could Li Lao Er not know? To say that when he was young, he dealt with dead people a lot, and it was not uncommon to encounter strange things, but after all, he was young and vigorous. Later, he was frightened by his elder brother, and when he got older, people's courage went back. This person is like a dog who was scared to pee when he was a child, and once he was bitten by a snake, he would be startled when he walked in the grass and saw the rope.

Li Lao Er was so frightened at this moment that he was like sifting chaff, holding his head with both hands and eager to dig a hole on the spot and get into it, where did he dare to stick his head out to see? He only heard a sound of "ping pong" breaking in the courtyard, presumably the dishes that were originally used to hold the tribute had been sparsely broken, Li Lao Er shivered and glanced at the window, only to see a black shadow through the starlight outside the house was reflected on the window and kept shaking.

He thought about what Ma Sufeng told him, as long as he didn't go out, that thing would definitely not come in and look for trouble, at this moment, all the openings in his house that could come in were labeled, even the chimney. Outside the house, there was a strong wind, which made the crooked-necked willow tree in the yard "rustle" constantly, and the big white goose also cried more and more excitedly.

The wind blew the broken window "whirring", and this window was made of white paper, so strong that the wind could not withstand a long toss and break, but the talisman pasted on the window was still stable and unaffected by the wind. This was painted by Ma Sufeng before leaving, and he spat on it casually, and it was much stronger than the window paper pasted with paste.

The wind lasted for about four or five minutes, and the window paper puffed up several times until it was not broken, and suddenly the courtyard "boomed" and lit up, and through the window, I saw that it was red outside, and I didn't know what was going on.

At this moment, there was a "clang" outside the house, and the door was kicked open again, Ma Sufeng held the child in one hand and looked at the two fires burning in the yard with the other, and he had eighty percent in his heart, and this thing had basically been done.

It turned out that when he left, he stuffed an egg in each of the arms of the two scarecrows and put it in the place of his heart. The egg was covered with a circle of gold wire, and there was a live buckle, just like the hunter in the winter put on the fox cover. This thing is not a fox in him, but a dirty thing, this golden wire is called "ghost is difficult to run", this method is said to have been invented by Ling Zhengyang.

Dirty things are actually formless and phaseless, that is, a breath of air, which can enter the soil and enter the hole, and you can't see or touch the flesh and fetus. Therefore, legends about evil ghosts and ghosts are not uncommon in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and they are recorded from the official history to the wild history, but no one has ever caught a ghost and exhibited it, because it is something that has no substance.

Ling Zhengyang was originally an apprentice of a famous family, but he was born to like to take a wild path and find another way, so he thought of a way. That is, the gold thread is wrapped around the ink fountain case, and the black is dyed as a rope to lock the dirty. Since ancient times, Mo Dou has overcome evil, also known as binding corpse ropes, and Ling Zhengyang has used this kind of thread as a set.

The evil ghost is fierce, and he wants to take people's lives by recruiting them, digging out his heart and lungs, and he takes advantage of this. The specific method is to tie a straw man, paste the eight characters of a living person on the back as an introduction, and then put on a soul borrowing talisman, so that the soul of the eight characters can be attached to the straw man for a moment. The soul will be dangerous after a long time, and the short-term will be at most a little tired the next day, and it will be fine after a sleep.

The evil ghost is born of evil thoughts, it must seek life if it wants to kill people, and if it has a soul, it will have the smell of people, which is not enough, he thought of a way to choose the kind of egg that has been fertilized and incubated by the old hen for a long time and is about to break the shell, which is what we now call "happy eggs".

The happy egg is a live chicken, but it has not yet come out of the shell, it can move, and if you put this on the chest of the straw man, the evil ghost will mistake it for the heart and lungs, and you will definitely reach out to dig it. At this time, the ghost hand fell into the set of the golden thread, which is the real "ghost cannot escape", and at this time, the three clear formations were laid out outside to borrow divine power.

In this game, the most important thing is the goose. Geese, especially male geese, are extremely ferocious domestic animals, and they are often more effective than dogs in nursing homes. The goose has a beautiful posture, very much like a sacred bird such as a crane, which can be used as a carrier to receive the gods of heaven and earth, and it can see dirty things that people can't see.

The three small flags on its back were wonderful, with a small pole inserted into a hollow pole, and between the two poles was filled with brimstone and fire, and a lead was pressed down to lead to the scarecrow.

When the goose sees dirty things, it will keep flapping its wings, the flagpole keeps rubbing against each other with the hollow pole, pressurized sulfur and fire nitrate to generate heat and finally ignite, along the lead to the scarecrow that has been locked by the gold thread to completely ignite, this is called "samadhi true fire", is the fire in the stone, the fire in the wood and the fire in the air are the three together, plus the blessing of the three clear gods, how can there be the principle of not destroying evil ghosts?

After the two flames burned out, Ma Sufeng entered the house, pulled out Li Lao Er, who was hiding under the bed board, and said: "Ming'er, bring me a few feet of new cloth to the city, and then make clothes for Lao Tzu, this is not too much to ask, right?" ”

"No money......

Ma Sufeng didn't do it anymore, his eyes widened and he shouted: "No money, no money, you can't let me be naked, how can I get out Ming'er?" ”

This roar woke up the doll in his arms, and he began to cry loudly.

"Hey, where did you come from, kid?"

"What's the matter with you?" Ma Sufeng shook around the house, seeing that the family did not have much money, and the clothes were still patched and burned, and the whole family still had a bed sheet, he rolled his eyes and said: "Okay, in this way, I won't embarrass you, Ming'er will take this sheet and find a tailor to make clothes for me." ”

"...... this?"

"Reluctantly, huh? Well, look for yourself at the red line on your belly. ”

Li Lao Er looked down, yo, the red line of this stomach is still there, but it is a little shallower, and the joint is a little bit back, and the swelling is not so obvious, but it is still a little itchy, and I almost forgot about it just now because I was afraid.

"Dao Chief, this, I'm not okay yet? Didn't you get rid of it? ”

Ma Sufeng smiled and said, "Do as I say, either go out now and find me a set of clothes to come back, or you will go bare-bottomed on the street tomorrow morning to make me new clothes." ”

Li Lao Er said with a sad face: "It's so late, where can I go to find clothes?" ”

"Whoever is cold at the door of the house, grab two pieces, this is not your specialty, the dead are all picked, and the living are afraid of a bird's egg!" He thought for a while and said, "Oh yes, I remember, that accountant Liu in your village has a "really good" clothes and good materials, and I saw his mother-in-law washing and drying at the door in the afternoon, you go and bring it." ”

"Accountant Liu?" Li Lao Er gasped and said: "That man is so stingy on weekdays that he doesn't even pull out a chicken feather, buy a piece of lard and go back to wipe his mouth every day and brag about eating meat every day, do you want me to steal his clothes?" Besides, his family's single-handedness is the commander of the soldiers and civilians, and you can't look up and down in this village, can you still be caught wearing his clothes? ”

Ma Sufeng came to Hongcun not long ago, but he didn't hear much about this Liu accountant, this person had a good calculation, his father and mother did not support him, one starved to death on the way out to ask for food, the other died of illness in the thatched house, not to mention the coffin, not to mention the coffin, even the straw mat was not given a bed, and he dug the soil directly.

The three children born to him were driven to the field like cattle every day, and they had to work extra after finishing the centimeters, and the dividends earned at the end of the year were all settled by him from the village, and last year his daughter got married, and he also made a contract with his son-in-law, and all the money earned by his daughter within fifteen years of marrying must be paid home, otherwise the sedan chair will not be allowed to enter the door.

is such a slamming master who is not a thing, who is Ma Sufeng who is not tidying up?

Ma Sufeng dipped his chopsticks in water and fed the baby again and again: "Don't care, you hurry up and get it for me, there is still a child here, I have to find a nurse for this child, I can't enter other women's houses naked, otherwise I will be killed as a hooligan, who will I find?" ”

Before going out, Li Lao Er glanced back at Ma Sufeng again and said, "Master Dao, I wonder if his daughter-in-law still has a pair of flower pants, do you want to go with it?" ”

"Get out!"
