Chapter 82: The Devil Covers His Eyes
"Ghost covering eyes" is similar to "ghost hitting the wall", and both are widely spread among the people. The ghost covering the eyes is also called the ghost obscure, and it is easy to understand the literal meaning of the ghost covering the eyes alone.
According to folklore, there is a ghost of a person who died unjustly, and he still stays in the place where he died, constantly wandering and wandering, suffering from the sun, the cold of the moon, and the torture of the wind knife. Unless someone dies here again, the ghost of the unjustly killed can escape, which is called a ghost hunting substitute.
It is certainly not a good way to say that the person who died unjustly is not a good way to die, such as falling into a well, drowning in a river pond or reservoir, or hanging himself in various places. It's hard for someone to die in the same place again, so usually these unjust ghosts have to find a way to trick people into rivers and wells, and then reach out from inside and drag people into the water to drown. Of course, this is not so simple, so there is such a thing as a ghost trick.
What ghosts hit the wall, ghosts hit the wall, ghosts press the bed, ghosts stumble, ghosts pat shoulders, ghosts cover their eyes, etc., these ghost words are all ghost tricks used to confuse people.
There are many versions of ghost blinding, but the common consensus is that some people walk alone at night to a place where there is a wrongful ghost, and the unjust ghost takes the opportunity to hide behind the person, stepping on the shadow of the person to follow, when he walks to a place where there is a pit and a pond in front of him and should turn around, he suddenly covers the person's eyes with his hand, causing the person to see nothing and his eyes are black, and he accidentally falls into the ditch or river in front of him and is drowned. Then to catch the stand-in is to replace the person to suffer.
Older people have heard a lot about this kind of thing, and you can find someone who likes to tell stories and let you talk about it all night.
He has heard a lot of things like Lao Wu, especially those ghost tricks. It stands to reason that he used to be a tomb robber, and he did some grave digging and digging things, and the most taboo thing was to mention unlucky words such as ghosts and death in the tomb, which was not good to think about. But Lao Wu has always come from a small village in the countryside, and he is also superstitious, but not as serious as Lao Liuxin, he is interested at best, so to speak.
Suddenly encountering so many situations in the courtyard of Zhang Mao's house, he was a little caught off guard, and when his eyes were black and he couldn't see anything, he was even more panicked. But he didn't think about those ghost tricks, he thought about whether there were other people in the house, such as whether Zhang Mao had a daughter-in-law.
Suddenly, he heard the snitch Wen Sheng even mention the matter of the ghost covering his eyes and catching a stand-in, which made him remember these knocks. Now he can't explain this situation clearly, so he can only put a ghost trick on it, so that it can be solved according to the method of breaking the ghost trick that has been circulated among the people, which is better than being confused.
Lao Wu confirmed the matter from Wen Shenglian's mouth, and saw that Wen Shenglian's tone of voice didn't seem to be pretending, so he asked Xiao Qi to hold himself, pushed his twisted waist and looked for the voice to walk in the direction of the brothers.
As a result, before he could take a few steps, he collided with an oncoming person, Xiao Qi hurriedly protected Lao Wu and asked, "Who?" But I heard Hu Da's voice sound: "I am your second brother Hu, and it may be big brother Hu in the future." ”
Lao Wu scolded angrily after hearing this: "Go to the side, I don't have time to mess with you." Then he shouted loudly: "Brother, don't move, stand still and don't move!" There may be dangerous things around us, and we must not walk around, otherwise we will be in the middle of the road. ”
Hu Dawei said nonchalantly: "What's the danger? I've been around the yard for half a circle, I haven't encountered anything, I guess I'm afraid of Hu Ye, I don't dare to come out to show my head, look at Hu Ye's mood, maybe I can let it live. ”
Lao Wu didn't pay attention to Hu Dawei anymore, thinking carefully about how the old man said the way to break the ghost and cover his eyes, as if he was pumping the ground with his belt, and he had to make a noise to break the ghost's eyes. Thinking of this, he unfastened his trouser belt, pushed Xiao Qi away so as not to draw him, and then held his pants in one hand, and jerked down to the ground with the other hand, only to hear a nearby Hu Dafang "whoop" call.
It turned out that Hu Dabao was too close to Lao Wu just now, and he couldn't see it, so he naturally didn't pay attention, who knew that Lao Wu pulled the belt of his pants and happened to be pumping on his face, and it was a hot pain in an instant.
This frightened Hu Dafang, as soon as he finished saying that he didn't encounter anything, he was suddenly whipped head-on, and even screamed and rolled, covering his face and hurting.
Lao Wu knew that it might be his trouser belt that slapped him in the face, and he didn't squeak, so he quickly smacked it a second time. This time it didn't hit anyone, and it made a crisp "pop" sound when it was pumped on the ground. As soon as the fourth child heard this, he became cautious, and asked the people around him in a low voice, "Hey, did you hear that?" What's moving? Did you listen? ”
But before the others could reply, they heard Wen Sheng say in a muffled voice: "Who, who took the belt of his pants and pumped the ground, right?" Ah! Wrong! That's how to break the ghost and hit the wall, and you have to pump your back when the ghost covers your eyes, because the ghost is lying behind you. ”
What he said was scary, and the brothers subconsciously hurried to touch their backs after hearing this, but how could there be anything behind? Even if there are real ghosts, you can still touch them so easily?
But this reminded Lao Wu that pumping the ground with his trouser belt is indeed a way to break the ghost and hit the wall, but he has really never heard of pumping his back, and now he can't care if Wen Shenglian is fooling himself or not. Because he didn't have a way at all, he could only try it according to what Wen Shenglian said, don't worry about his ink for a long time, which of the brothers didn't walk honestly and planted himself in the well, they were all blind and couldn't help it, Lao Wu gritted his teeth and endured the pain and picked up the belt of his pants and pulled it on his back.
This time he pumped too hard and too hard, but the sound seemed to be pumped on something hard, but Lao Wu didn't feel the pain. Xiao Qi didn't know what Lao Wu was doing, and suddenly heard a strange sound from Lao Wu's direction, and he was so anxious that he wanted to reach forward and touch it, but as soon as he raised his hand, he suddenly found that although it was still very dark in front of him, he could see his arm, and when he raised his head, he could see several other people in the yard, so he said excitedly: "I can see it!" ”
Everyone else regained their sight in the same way, but then they all broke out in a cold sweat.
Lao Wu stood by a well, and if he took another step, he would have to trip over the edge of the well and ride his head in. The third child placed a long-headed fork diagonally behind his back, and the fork was only a fist away from his back, and he had to be pierced through the heart when he took a step back. The rest of the people, except for the fourth child who didn't walk around and grabbed Wen Shenglian, were in the most dangerous place, but fortunately, Lao Wu gave him a whip to break the ghost's eyes.
Xiao Qi stood in place and gasped a few times, seeing that his brothers were fine, the heart he was carrying together was finally able to let go. So he turned his head to talk to Lao Wu, and when he saw Lao Wu, his hair exploded, and he exclaimed: "Big brother, behind your back, how can you carry a paper man!" ”
