Chapter 2 The Ghost Boy in Debt

This strange thing happened to me when I was a child.

In the dead of night, I had the same dream over and over again. At the head of the bed, there stood a little girl who couldn't see clearly, looking at me quietly.

When this girl appeared in my dreams, my body and consciousness detached. Obviously I'm very conscious, but my hands and feet just don't listen to the call, no matter how hard I try, my body can't move.

At first, the girl just appeared in my dreams on time every day, standing quietly at the head of my bed, looking at me. Later, she climbed into my bed and whispered a phrase in my ear

"Give it back, give it back."

Every time, I can feel the piercing coldness that penetrates my heart. When he woke up from his dream, there was nothing around, no girls, and no voices. But that dream is so real.

Since that day, I have been sick, and every afternoon, I always have a low-grade fever for no reason. It is not necessarily good to take medicine, and injections cannot reduce fever. I wanted to talk to my mother, but every time I wanted to talk about it, I suddenly glared at it, and I was so scared that I couldn't say it, so I could only endure it

It wasn't until later that a bad old man appeared that my condition took a turn for the better.

This bad old man was rescued by my mother.

According to my mother, she was collecting firewood on the hill behind the house when she met this bad old man.

At that time, the bad old man fainted on the stone beside him, and he was still holding an inexplicable "orchid finger" in his hand

To my mother's surprise, the trees, grass, and flowers around the old man were withered. When my mother approached him, her heart trembled like falling into an ice cave.

This feeling made my mother stop for a while, but then my mother still rescued the old man, because my mother is soft-hearted and a good person, as long as she sees someone in need of help, she will not hesitate to lend a helping hand!

The first time I saw this old man, he left me with this image.

The clothes were neat, but the hair was messy like a kennel, and there was a handful of grass in the mouth, and the most impressive thing was that the shoes were worn with a hole in them, and the toes were exposed.

Not long after, when my mother was about to ask the barefoot doctor at the head of the village to come and see the bad old man, the old man woke up faintly.

It was then that I could see the appearance of the bad old man, who, like me, was blind in one eye, and his left hand seemed to be crippled

After the bad old man learned that his mother had saved him, he hurriedly thanked his mother.

At first, they talked and laughed until I came out of the room with my confused head in tow and said to my mother, "Mom, I have a fever again."

The old man's eyes widened, and he looked at me as if he had seen a monster.

He hurriedly pulled me to his side, touched me, and shook his head suspiciously, "No, no, how can I still be alive." ”

As soon as I heard this, I became angry, pushed him away, and pulled me over.

"You bad old man, I was kind enough to save you, and now you curse my son to die, what kind of heart do you press." My mother held me behind her tightly and scolded the bad old man

The old man was scolded by my mother, but he didn't get angry, but he lowered his head and quickly pinched his fingers, and said something we didn't understand

Then, slowly, he raised his head, stared at my mother, and said, "Is this child's birthday your husband's death?" As soon as he was born, your husband died, and besides, not long after he was born, there was a disaster that was washed down by a torrential rain, right? ”

My mother was taken aback and said incredulously, "How do you know?" ”

The bad old man didn't answer my mother's question, he just asked my mother about my birthday.

Rural people are very scruples about birthdays, and when the bad old man asked this, my mother was hesitant

"I see that your son Tianyue is dim, there is a trace of black tiger aura entwined on the mountain root between his eyebrows, I am looking at his hands are cold, but his forehead is like being burned by fire, this is a sign that he has been haunted by the yin spirit for a long time, if you don't save it, I'm afraid I won't live for a few days, I hope you don't hesitate, tell me the child's birthday, let me calculate it for him." Seeing my mother's hesitation, the bad old man said this very seriously. Although his face was dirty, his expression was solemn, and his momentum changed in an instant.

When the mother heard this, she was stunned, and hurriedly asked the bad old man, "What you said, but is it true?" ”

The old man pointed at me and said to my mother, "If you don't believe me, you can ask your child." ”

My mom looked at me and asked me softly if I had seen anything lately.

I wanted to tell what was happening in my dream, but as soon as I opened my mouth, the feeling of panic and fear that made me surged up again, and the feeling was cold, as if the girl was watching me right next to me.

The bad old man came up to me, and although he looked dirty, the smell on his body was very fragrant, very good, as if the smell he smelled when he worshipped the gods on weekdays

After the old man came over, my heart slowly calmed down, the panic disappeared, and I slowly told what I had seen in my dream.

I told them that my sister told me to give her my things back, but I didn't know what she wanted me to pay back.

When the mother heard this, she became even more nervous, she had already believed what the bad old man said.

The mother begged the bad old man and said, "Sir, please save my child, as long as you can get rid of that filthy thing, how much money will ......?"

Because my family is so poor, since my father passed away, my family has relied on my mother to make a living alone, and it has long been a family with four walls. Therefore, when she said the word money, she really couldn't say it anymore, and she was helpless, because my family really didn't have anything to give.

But the bad old man just waved his hand, and said indifferently: "Those things outside the body, there is nothing worthy of my nostalgia, besides, my life is almost lost when I release the yin, and it is thanks to you sister-in-law that you saved me back." How can a little thing compare to your life-saving grace?"

It wasn't until this time that my mother knew that the person she saved was a Taoist priest named Li Feng. After talking, she learned that this Li Feng was a Taoist priest of the Taoist Yinshan faction, and the reason why he fainted on the stone in the back mountain was because something went wrong when he released the yin.

The so-called release of yin is because there is too much yin qi accumulated in the body, which needs to be transferred to other things, if it is not transferred, then the yin and yang in the body will be unbalanced, and it will be eroded by yin qi and die. The Taoist priests of the Yinshan sect must release the yin once every certain period of time. And this stage is also the weakest and most dangerous juncture for the Taoist priest himself.

Usually, the Taoist priests of Yin Mountain transfer the yin qi to the body of the trees. That's why when my mother saw this Li Feng on the back mountain, the trees around him were all withered.

My mother doesn't know anything about Yin Shan Maoshan, she only knows that this Li Feng can save my life. In order to get rid of the dirty stuff that was wrapped around me, my mother listened to him and told him my eight characters honestly.

Li Feng sat down, squinted his eyes, set up four pillars on a piece of paper, and counted through his hands. The more he calculated, the more his brows furrowed, and after that, he gasped and shouted: "Ghost boy, it's really a ghost boy who owes money."

It's not the first time I've heard the word ghost boy. When I was born, I said it again. When those people looked at me with disdain and scruples, they almost always said these two words in their mouths.

But what a ghost boy is, my mother and I don't know this concept, we only know that this is a very unlucky life.

In my mother's puzzled eyes, Li Feng took a sip of water and slowly explained the concept of a ghost boy to us.

Li Feng's words explain why I was born blind in my left eye as soon as I was born. Because I owed too much debt in my previous life, I was destined to suffer as soon as I was born, and God even took away my father, so that as soon as I was born, the family was restless.
