36, Witches (2)
Sister-in-law Jiang was taken to the room where the offering table was set up above the hole in the ground, and saw that Ah Xiang was also set up through another door. Ah Xiang obviously didn't suffer the torture, and smiled. The two women were tied up in the back room, out the back door, into a compound, pushed into a carriage, and sat in a carriage with windows on both sides.
The carriage was very sturdy, and Ah Xiang hit it a few times, but the hoarding did not move. Curtains hung on the windows so you couldn't see the outside. Hands are tied, and the curtains cannot be lifted.
The carriage was visibly discharged from the hospital and entered the street outside.
Ah Xiang asked quietly, "Have you recruited it?" ”
Sister-in-law Jiang shook her head.
"I expected it a long time ago, if you want to protect your master, you won't be able to recruit if your head drops."
"Yes." Sister-in-law Jiang's eyes overflowed with tears.
"Hey! I ask you, can you be so faithful to me? ”
Sister-in-law Jiang didn't think twice: "Yes!" ”
Ah Xiang pursed her lips, ate and smiled, looking both smug and naughty. She approached Sister-in-law Jiang and said in a low voice, "Do you understand why they didn't beat us and didn't force a confession?" They want to mobilize us, convince us, automatically talk about the situation, and then follow them. ”
Sister-in-law Jiang nodded.
Ah Xiang said: "Actually, they are very afraid of contempt, and they feel that contempt can channel their minds and subdue them. That purple lotus, I don't know which branch of the royal family, is as ambitious as the sky! If we are not persuaded by them, the next step is torture. Sister-in-law Jiang, can you hold on? ”
"I can!" Sister-in-law Jiang clenched her teeth tightly.
"I can't!" Ah Xiang laughed and jokingly flashed her eyes. Sister-in-law Jiang said that Ah Xiang was just playing tricks, but she was actually very strong.
As soon as there was a knock on the door, the curtain was lifted, and a very handsome young man in his twenties showed a face. He smiled slightly, stretched out his two hands, and carried two gourds: "The master asked me to ask you, are you thirsty?" ”
Ah Xiang said: "Don't be thirsty! Even if they die of thirst, they will not drink your water. ”
The young man still said softly: "Don't die! When you are thirsty and hungry, it is your body that is ruined. On the bumpy car, he lifted the two gourds and blinked his eyes, Ah Xiang and Jiang Sister-in-law found at the same time that on the gourd on his right, there was a piece of silk cloth with words on it:
Don't worry, I'll find a way to save you. Be energetic. There are ears outside, don't talk nonsense.
Scold! What is the origin of this man?
Ah Xiang stretched out his hand, took a gourd, opened the lid, and drank it violently. Sister-in-law Jiang also felt thirsty, took another gourd, and drank it to her heart's content.
The young man smiled and retreated. Ah Xiang and Sister-in-law Jiang nodded knowingly, but they didn't dare to speak.
The car stopped, and I heard the sound of drums beating outside, which came from the direction where Sister-in-law Jiang was staying. The curtain on Sister-in-law Jiang's side was opened, and I don't know who reached in and opened it; Through the window, you can see the outside clearly. Ah Xiang hurriedly went to Sister-in-law Jiang and looked out. More than 20 zhang away is an earthen platform, and there are many ordinary people standing under the stage, whispering. And beside the earthen platform, there is a big drum, and a shirtless man in short dress, red belt, is beating the drum. Amid the sound of drums, a bald man in his thirties stepped out of the cloth fence behind the earthen platform and bowed to the drum.
Sister-in-law Jiang and Ah Xiang couldn't help but scream. Because at the back of the earthen platform, above the cloth fence, there is a banner that reads: "Shrine Maiden Aqin Pray for Disaster Relief".
As soon as the drums stopped, the bald man arched his hand and spoke loudly to the people below: "Father and old folks! The witch Aqin asked me to give a message, and today she has eliminated the disaster for the three of them, prayed for blessings, and is very tired. If it's all right, that's it. Find Ah Qin again, please come to the apartment, and you will do your best to help. ”
"Good!" The crowd below applauded.
At this moment, a shout came from the northeast corner, and it was a rough man: "Miss Aqin, help!" Immediately, several men came running with a door panel, and on it lay a woman, cloaked in a cloak, as if she had not been dead for a long time, and was pouring her breath.
The men went up to the earthen platform, lowered the door panel, and knelt down together, kowtowing to each other. The man who was still rough and noisy spoke: "Please Miss Aqin must save Awan." Her man is dead, and she still has two children to raise, so she can't let the child be without a mother! ”
The bald head was embarrassed, and he was about to speak, when a girl came out of the background, round and dunton, and her face was like the big plate. Dressed in a gray fat shirt, holding a leather drum in her hand, and her face was full of concern, she hurried to the door, leaned over to look at the patient carefully, and ordered the men on the stage: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”
The men stepped down. The fat girl raised her hands high on the stage, beat the leather drum, and spun in circles. Her eyes were half-open and half-closed, her mouth was muttering, she couldn't hear clearly, her fat body turned sharply, and her feet stepped out of the earthen platform in a puff of smoke. She didn't know how many times she had turned around, her face was flushed, her sweat was dripping, but her expression was getting more and more excited. She stopped abruptly in front of the patient, and the skin drum went down, straight to the patient's face, and there seemed to be powder floating down the drum. After a long time, she jumped back sharply and shouted, "Get up, get up!" ”
Everyone held their breath and looked at her, at the patient. She was still beating the drum, but it was getting lower and lower. She shouted again in a hoarse voice: "Get up! The drums stopped beating and there was silence. The patient moved slowly, but slowly got up, sat down, and looked around inexplicably.
Ah Qin was extremely tired, sat on the earthen platform, and waved his hand: "Okay, okay!" ”
The crowd cheered: "O true goddess! ”
The man who carried the patient fell to his knees: "Xie Lu, thank the goddess for rescue!" ”
The bald man came out from behind the earthen platform. One of the men who carried the door panel jumped up, went straight to the bald head, stuffed something into his hand, which must have been silver, and then thanked him again and again, turned around and commanded, and carried the patient away. The fat woman was also helped into the cloth fence behind by the bald man. The curtains on Ah Xiang and Sister-in-law Jiang's carriage were suddenly lowered, and the carriage moved again.
Sister-in-law Jiang wondered: "What kind of routine is this?" ”
Ah Xiang ate and laughed: "Don't you think it's weird?" There are so many witches in the city in an instant, all kinds of them, but let's see, what do you mean? ”
Sister-in-law Jiang couldn't say it.
The carriage dragged the two men on, and looked at two places in succession, all of which were witches, but they looked different. One is from Wushan in pure Shu, dressed in a robe, with a Luo Pa on his head, but in his hand is a disc painted with yin and yang gossip. She put the disc on the ground, sat there, and recited words in her mouth, and it was said that she could use the disc to measure yin and yang for people, and say that the earth qi, and the other one, who claimed to be possessed by a fox fairy, dressed like a fox, held two engraved bones, and jumped and jumped. The witch was immediately taken away, saying that the vixen in the house was haunted, and asked her to go and exorcise the evil spirit.
Ah Xiang and Sister-in-law Jiang were pulled back by car. When I entered the house from the backyard, I saw a lean woman of twenty-seven or eighteen years old standing in the room, her eyes were like two little yo-yos, dripping and turning. She waved her hand to the men escorting: "You are not needed here, go quickly!" The tone was heart-wrenching, and one of the escort men became a little angry and said, "Who are you?" Finger-pointing at us! ”
"Who am I? I'm your second grandmother! He stepped forward and slapped the man in the face, causing the man to take a few steps back and fall to the ground. The man got up and shouted angrily: "You dare to hit me? "Pounce on it. The woman who called herself the second grandmother cleverly flashed and slashed at the back of his neck with a palm. Just listening to the "click", the man's neck seemed to be broken. The man slowly fell, eyes closed.
The other men were so frightened that they didn't dare to move anymore. The woman said in disgust, "Drag him away!" The men trembled with fright, and had to lift the dead man up and out of the coffin.
Sister-in-law Jiang was a little scared, and couldn't help but shrink back. This must be a terrible woman. Her movements are so swift and her techniques are so ruthless, I'm afraid even Ah Xiang is not her opponent.
The woman turned to Ah Xiang and Sister-in-law Jiang, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Introduce yourself, I am called the second grandmother, and there is no need to know the real name." Second grandmother, if I kill this man, it can be regarded as giving you a dismount. If you don't listen to me, you two will die worse than him! ”
Ah Xiang looked at her contemptuously: "Really? You seem to be pretty good. But lo and behold, you're just a vain guy, not worth mentioning. ”
"Really?" The second grandmother was not angry, but smiled. She suddenly exerted her strength, jumped over quickly, and grabbed Ah Xiang's front shirt. Ah Xiang only had time to scream, and was immediately tapped by her on the neck, and Ah Xiang couldn't scream. She pulled Ah Xiang like pulling a piece of wood, and pulled Ah Xiang to the corner of the wall. The lid at the entrance of the cave was opened, and the second grandmother pulled Ah Xiang into the cave hard.
Sister-in-law Jiang was stunned, Ah Xiang and the second grandmother all disappeared at the entrance of the cave, and her mouth was still wide open. It's hard to imagine that a lean woman would take another woman of her size so easily.
In a moment, the second grandmother jumped out of the hole in the ground, as light as a monkey. She pounced on Sister-in-law Jiang. Sister-in-law Jiang's neck was tapped, her throat was hoarse, and her mouth was dry and she couldn't speak; My body is also wooden, very strange numbness! The second grandmother pulled her, like a zombie, and pulled her into the hole. There was a staircase at the entrance of the cave, but the second grandmother was almost half-carrying her in front; Without touching the ground, she came to the bottom of the cave.
The second grandmother put her and Ah Xiang side by side in the corner of the wall, and sat against the wall. Both of them were speechless. The second grandmother ran to the corner of the wall and tinkered, and when she reappeared, Ah Xiang and Sister-in-law Jiang were all surprised: she was also wearing the same costume that she used to do it contemptuously! The crutch in his hand was black and shiny, and it was very precious at first sight. It's just that the tip is pointed, which seems to be able to sting.
"What's going on?" The second grandmother became triumphant. She lifted her hat, pulled her clothes, and waved her crutches. At most, the crutch seemed to have become a sword, and it was slashed and slashed, and it was used with great grace. And she herself doesn't change her face and her heart doesn't beat.
Then, she stood on the ground with a crutch, looked at Ah Xiang and Sister-in-law Jiang in turn, and said, "Let me tell you, Zihe is my disciple, and I can't ignore the disciple's affairs." Tell me, what kind of spell did that so-called witch Qin Xuanran use to confuse everyone's hearts? What kind of spell is she chanting, first find the mine, and then catch the mole? ”
She jumped over, and the crutches flashed across Ah Xiang and Sister-in-law Jiang's necks. As soon as the two of them were excited, they felt that their mouths were not tight, and they were able to speak.
