The next day, the sister-in-law got up and cooked for Zhao Cheng when it was still dark, carried the basket on her back and brought the food and water hoe, and took advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet bright, and walked towards the distant mountain, turning over a mountain, but it was noon, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law felt tired, so they ate some dry food with the water, and hesitated whether to continue to move forward.

The two women's families couldn't make up their minds, and Zhao Ling, who was hesitant, said to her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, I don't think we should go, I can't go home at night, let the wolf go, but it's wronged, just look around here to see if there are any herbs, if not, Ming said to change places." ”

Wu is very doting on the sister-in-law, what the sister-in-law says, how to respond, the two of them dare not disperse, carefully search, find a stick of incense time, the mountains are full of weeds, no herbs to see, are a little depressed, the sister-in-law drank more water, let the sister-in-law wait for her, she went to the front of the bend to relieve her hands.

Two women's families, who else are they hiding? Wu watched his sister-in-law walk away, couldn't help but shake his head, and thought about it, after all, Xiao Nizi is not married, and there is nothing wrong with being ashamed, before she got married, it was not the same. Thinking of this, she covered her mouth and snickered, and before she could laugh, she heard her sister-in-law exclaim.

Wu was startled, thinking that the sister-in-law had touched the wild cat and the vicious civet, so he hurriedly took out the hoe in the basket and ran in the direction of the sister-in-law.

The women of the people in the mountains recognize some herbs, the ancestor ephedra flower leaves, it looks very inconspicuous, but it has the effect of dispelling wind and dampness, dissipating cold in the warmth, invigorating blood and relieving pain, and there has been such a sentence in the town, "Fight all over the ground, you can't do without the ancestor hemp" It can be seen that it is the best herbal medicine.

What's even more rare is that this small hillside is actually overgrown with dense ancestor hemp, so many herbs, don't say that the back basket of the two of them can't be picked even a dozen baskets, and the two sisters-in-law are in good spirits, picked back the herbs, dried them and sent them to Chu Yun, and the people in the town can no longer say anything, and if they look for Chu Yun to see a doctor in the future, it will be justifiably tight.

Wu held a hoe to collect medicine, but the sister-in-law sighed and said, "I'm happy to patronize, but I haven't solved it yet." After shouting, he got into the middle of the piece of Tianshi hemp in front of him, put the water in a hurry, and when she got up, the two of them happily picked medicine, the medicine is all good medicine, newly bloomed flowers, fresh and tight, but Chu Yun likes to use medicine roots, fortunately, the two of them have hoes, and they are both mountain women, and they also have some strength, and after a while, they picked a basket of Tianshi hemp.

The two of them mustered up their spirits, thinking that they would turn back after picking another basket, but when they were digging a piece of Tianshi hemp, the root of the Tianshi hemp was long and bent, and the two of them mustered up all their strength, dug up the soil, and dragged it hard, and pulled out a strange thing. Zhao Ling made a lot of effort and fell a fart, but said with a sigh: "Sister-in-law, what do you think it is?" ”

Wu Shi looked in the direction of her sister-in-law's finger, and saw something like a human head rolling in the grass three times without moving, she was startled, and screamed: "Could it be that you dug up human bones?" ”

People in the countryside think that digging up human bones is not an auspicious thing, that thing may be a human head, Zhao Ling is young, and her courage is slightly stronger than her sister-in-law, she got up and leaned over carefully, took a closer look, and suddenly smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, don't be scared, it's not a human bone, it's a stone egg!" ”

Wu heard what his sister-in-law said, he had the courage to lean forward and take a sneak look, it was really a stone egg, but this stone egg was very strange, take a closer look, you can even see the nose and eyebrows, both of them felt strange, Zhao Ling carefully knocked the stone with the hoe in her hand, knocked down some soil, and then looked at it, it turned out to be a strange-shaped stone statue.

This is a carved evil ghost, but see its limbs stretched or bent, well-proportioned and free, the left arm is supported by the four ghosts of happiness, anger, sorrow, and happiness in the underworld, pressing down on the evil ghosts in the world, and it also holds all kinds of demons and monsters in its hands, and has all kinds of evil monsters on its feet, and there are also several small ghosts attached to its shoulders and knees.

I don't know who this stone statue came from, the idea is wonderful, the posture is peculiar, and the mood is strange, which is breathtaking. The ghost is like a ring-eyed, wide-mouthed, a long tongue hanging down to the chest, and the ears are even more peculiar, not the shape of ordinary people's ears, on the left is a bent man, and on the right is a bent woman, so as to form two ears. I don't know if the ghost is listening to people, or if people are talking nonsense, in short, this ghost statue is lifelike and vivid.

Such a strange ghost statue, I saw my aunt and sister-in-law's hearts tremble, coincidentally, Zhao Ling just solved the ghost statue on top of the ghost's head, and under the sun, you can see the watery ghost statue showing a hideous smile, the mountain people worship the ghosts and gods the most, both of them are a little weak, they can't help but kneel on the ground, muttering something to apologize, and the herbs don't dare to pick anymore, the two hurriedly carry the basket and go home.

The two sisters-in-law were worried in their hearts, and they didn't know what the ghost statue was, the hideous appearance was too realistic, and it must not be a good way, for fear that they would really offend the ghosts and gods and send disasters, they were all heavy-minded, and walked quickly in the direction of the town, and the road was calm, but they didn't expect that it was not far from the town, but something happened.

The two sisters-in-law were frightened, and they walked fast, and when they arrived in the town, it was already dark, and when they saw the smoke in the town, the dim lights, the hearts of both of them were also put into their stomachs, after all, nothing happened, and when they arrived in the town, there were many people who were not so afraid.

The two walked faster, who knew that Zhao Ling walked too quickly, and actually tripped on a raised stone, stumbled under her feet, and rolled down the hillside, Wu was startled, screaming to chase his sister-in-law, shouting with a crying voice.

happened to meet a distant relative of the family in the town, Zhao Da who came back from chopping wood, heard Wu's shouting, threw down the firewood to help, and when he found Zhao Ling, he was already covered with blood and passed out, Zhao Da guarded Zhao Ling, Wu went back to call people, it was not a lot of effort, and a small half of the people in the town came, carried Zhao Ling home, and hurriedly went to invite Chu Yun.

Chu Yun heard that something had happened in the town, and arrived at Zhao's house without eating, Zhao Ling was lying on the kang in a drowsy manner, Chu Yun hurriedly stepped forward to check the pulse, touched it, and there were no internal injuries, except for some abrasions, there were no other symptoms, Chu Yun took out the ointment and gave it to Wu, and asked her to help apply it, nothing serious, but Wu asked: "Little Doctor Chu, you said that my sister is fine, why don't you wake up with such a groggy appearance?" ”

When Chu Yun came, she had already inquired about why Zhao Ling was injured, so she said to Wu: "Sister Zhao fell from the mountain, panicked in her heart, scared her soul, and it will be okay to shout her soul at night." ”

Chu Yun's vein, belongs to the witch doctor, both witch and doctor, he has a peculiar inheritance, and has never made a mistake in treating people, and the people in the town are also convinced, that night the Wu family went out to shout the soul according to what Chu Yun had explained to her, and the people in the town shouted the soul generally chose to leave the fork in the village seven or eight zhang away. In front are the fields, and behind the village is the village.

The moonlight looked a little strange that night, much more obscure. From time to time, a faint cloud drifted through the full moon, as faint as smoke. The upturned ground in the fields and the thatch on the sandbanks stinged in the haze of the night. The sound of water in the river in front of the town sounded farther than usual, and it was seeping into people.

Wu first bathed her sister-in-law, put her on the bed and lay down and then covered her tightly with the quilt, burned wormwood and sandalwood at the door, and told her husband not to let Zhao Ling's hands or feet stick out of the quilt, let alone get up and move, and then invited Chu Yun to go with her to shout the soul, originally Wu wanted his man to follow the soul, but Chu Yun had a lot of confidence in his heart, not to mention that this idea was also from him, and he was capable, so he was more at ease.

There are many taboos of shouting souls, you can't talk on the way to and fro, and the night is calm, with frogs chirping all around, and the wind stirring the smell of earth. Wu held a bamboo pole in his hand, hung a close-fitting gown of his sister-in-law on the head of the pole, tied it tightly, and saw the night wind blowing, Wu pulled a long voice and shouted: "Zhao family's little Ling Nizi ~~ Come back......"

Chu Yun responded on the side: "I'm back!" ”

Wu shouted again: "Zhao family's Xiaoling Nizi, come back......"

Chu Yun responded again: "I'm back!" ”

Just shouted and responded, and shouted the time of the two pillars of incense. Wu gradually gathered his sister-in-law's gown in his hand, squatted down on the ground and picked up six small stones to wrap in the gown. During this time, the Wu family has not stopped shouting, and Chu Yun has also been responding. Wu stood up and didn't look at him, didn't greet him, raised his head and walked straight home, still shouting in his mouth: "Zhao family's little girl, come back, oh......" Chu Yun followed Wu all the way over.

When he got home, Zhao Cheng took a look, first looked at the faces of the two, saw that there was nothing unusual, breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes focused on the gown in Wu's hand. That gown is unusual, and it has Zhao Ling's soul in it.

Wu also knew that at this moment, he couldn't be careless, and his heart was all on that gown. Without a trace of expression on her face, she stepped into the room where Zhao Ling was sleeping and put her gown under Zhao Ling's head. Then she said: Alright, alright, now alright! My little girl is back, back!

That day, Wu sat on the edge of Zhao Ling's bed and looked at the three Zhao Lings until dawn, and then Zhao Ling really woke up.
