"Stinky boy can't get out of bed yet! It's all three poles a day! ”

I was dreaming of the white, hot steamed buns, and before I could take my mouth, I heard the master shouting in his throat, and then I was hit hard on the buttocks a few times, and I screamed in pain, and when I raised my eyes, I saw the master standing in front of the bed with a smile on his face, and he was still holding a wooden ruler in his hand.

"Hehe, is the stinky boy dreaming of eating chicken again, look at your saliva! Hurry up, I'll take you to eat roast chicken today! ”

As soon as I heard that there was roast chicken to eat, I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and immediately came to my senses, forgot the pain in my buttocks, and quickly got up with a grunt.

The last time I ate chicken was more than half a month ago, and it was just a chick that was only one or two months old, and I don't know where Master got it.

That time I followed the master to help a family do things, but something went wrong, I was injured in the arm, I bled a lot, my body was weak, the master said to make up for me, so I got such a little chick, and went to the mountains to dig up some herbs, a piece of stew in the casserole, even the soup with the residue was eaten by me, zuihou even did not forget the casserole, that delicious, that fragrant, I still remember it, I will drool when I think about it.

After getting up, I cleaned up the magic runes and other things I should bring with me, stuffed them into my bag, and followed Master out the door.

My name is Mo Shiyu, my name was given by Master, seven or eight years ago, when Master picked me up, I was still a baby in swaddling clothes, according to Master, at that time I was packed in a long bamboo basket, just on a big stone next to a remote mountain road, Master happened to pass by, saw me, worried that I would be taken by wild beasts, so he stayed by for a full afternoon, until it was dark, and no one came to take me away, then he felt that I should be abandoned, so he carried me home.

Since there was no note left by my side, Master was completely unaware of my real name, Shenggeng Bazi, birthplace, etc., and he saw that I was wearing a blue-black stone tablet around my neck, and the stone tablet was engraved with the word "Yu", so he took his surname and named me Mo Shiyu.

As for Master's name, it's a little weird, it's inexplicable, yes, it's inexplicable! I don't know why his parents gave him such a name, but few people know his real name, for as long as I can remember, I have heard others call him Doctor Mo, and now, he prefers others to call him Mo Banxian or Mo Daochang.

Master told me that his ancestors for three generations are the descendants of the Maoshan faction of the Eight Classics, he is proficient in medical skills, Taoism, and was originally a yin and yang magician, during the Cultural Revolution, the whole country set off a wave of breaking the four olds, sweeping all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, Mr. Feng Shui and Yin Yang magicians These professions can not be mixed, he turned into a barefoot doctor, but he does not know anything about Western medicine, and he does not understand these "foreign things" such as laboratory tests and B ultrasound, so he can only use traditional Chinese medicine methods such as looking, smelling, asking, and cutting. During the treatment, it is often necessary to cooperate with massage, acupuncture and other medical skills, and most of the prescriptions are home remedies, but they have also cured many incurable diseases.

After the reform and opening up, some traditional old customs arose in various places, and the art of feng shui yin and yang was no longer restricted, so he immediately turned his head and resumed his old business, and soon became the "Mo Daochang" in the mouth of others.

In the master's mouth, his ability is not small, what is to subdue demons and catch ghosts, exorcise demons and dispel evil spirits, all of them are not a problem, and Feng Shui numerology is naturally all fine. But in my opinion, these are just big words to coax ghosts, anyway, I've been messing around with him for so long, I've never met a real ghost, every time I help someone do something, just watch him set up a dojo there, talk to himself and rap, it's basically over, this money is easy to earn.

Master also often teaches me some so-called methods of exorcism and evil spirits, saying that it can come in handy at critical times, but I have no interest in these mysterious things, I always feel that it is like a cow, a ghost, a snake, and a god, very unreliable, and I don't have the heart to learn, in my opinion, it is better to learn more medical skills more realistically, but unfortunately he is unwilling to teach.

It is said that a few days ago, there was a middle-aged man in this village nicknamed Ma Laoqi who suddenly fell ill and died.

I followed Master all the way and hurried all the way, walked more than ten miles of mountain roads, and finally arrived at Qiping Village before lunch.

Since I hadn't eaten in the morning, my stomach was already rumbling, but the thought of being able to eat my favorite roast chicken right away immediately made me feel an inexplicable excitement in my heart, and I couldn't help but swallow a handful of saliva.

Qiping Village is a wilderness village, located in a valley, the valley is called Qipan Valley, surrounded by male mountains, there are many hills and hills of different heights distributed in the valley, the terrain is quite special, it is said that if you climb to the top of the mountain and look down, the terrain of the whole valley is like a huge chessboard, and those mounds and hills are like chess pieces, so it is named Qipan Valley, and Qiping Village is also named after this.

The terrain around the village is very dangerous, there is only a slightly smoother dirt road leading to the village, there is a big locust tree at the head of the village that needs several people to hug it, the big locust tree is dozens of meters high, the branches are luxuriant, just like a giant spirit gate god with a great body, guarding the entrance of the village of Qiping Village, quite has the momentum of a man who is not open.

According to the master, Qiping Village is a single-surname village, and most of the people in the village are surnamed Bai, so it is also known as Baijia Village, which is also a major feature of the mountainous area in southern China.

When Master and I were still 180 meters away from the entrance of the village, we saw a half-hundred-year-old man with a slightly hunched back sitting on a smooth and flat green stone, frowning, smacking a few puffs of dry tobacco pouch in his mouth from time to time, spitting out a wisp of green smoke, looking preoccupied.

Master told me that the old man was the village chief of this Qiping Village, called Bai Qi, when I heard this name, I almost didn't laugh, there was actually someone called "Bai Qi", I thought that if this person was in the Anti-Japanese War era, maybe he would be a big traitor!

Bai Qi was the second oldest in his generation, so people respectfully called him Second Master Qi, as soon as Second Master Qi saw me and Master, his brows immediately relaxed, he stood up to meet him, and shouted loudly: "Dao Chang Mo, I can be regarded as looking forward to you." ”

After approaching, the master hugged his fist towards Second Master Qi and said, "Second Master Qi, I still bother you to pick it up in person!" ”

I raised my head and took a closer look at this second master Qi, with a square face of Chinese characters, but it looked righteous, not at all like the traitor I imagined, and it seemed to be a little familiar, maybe I had seen it before, after all, it was not the first time I came to Qiping Village.

Qi Erye and the master exchanged a few words, followed by the young descendants of Qi Erye stepped forward, did not say a word, immediately knelt down to the master, this is the rule of this area, if there is an elder in the family passed away, the younger generation has to wear linen and filial piety to the person to kneel down, the young descendant must be the son of Ma Laoqi.

The Master stretched out a hand to help the young student up, and said a few comforting words such as "Mourning and changing". Second Master Qi urged on the side: "Daoist Mo, let's go to the village first!" The master nodded, and the second master led the way in front and walked towards the village together.

On the way, Master asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Second Master Qi sighed: "Alas, this Ma Laoqi doesn't know what kind of sin he created, he is only in his forties, he is in the prime of life, and his body is also very tough on weekdays, no pain or illness, but three days ago, he suddenly became ill, and the doctor at the township health center couldn't see the reason, he was going to pull him to the county people's hospital the next day, but before he could do it, the person left that night, and his eyes couldn't close, so he finally helped him close it, and at night he would open it by himself, which was strange and scary, and he cheated the corpse in the middle of the night last night." , scared several young men who were guarding the spirit half to death. ”

As soon as I heard about the corpse, I suddenly shuddered in my heart, I had heard the master talk about the corpse fraud before, and I was so frightened that I didn't sleep all night, I didn't think that I really ran into it today, and I couldn't help but beat wildly in my heart.

The master turned his head and glanced at the young descendant who was wearing linen and filial piety, and asked, "Are you the son of Ma Laoqi?" ”

Second Master Qi hurriedly replied for the descendant: "Ma Lao Qi is a bachelor, because he had leprosy when he was a child, he has never married a wife, how can he have such a big son!" This is his brother's son, named Bai Xiaowu, just to wear linen and filial piety for him. ”

"Were you there last night's wake?" The master asked again at the younger generation.

This young descendant named Bai Xiaowu glanced at Second Master Qi timidly and nodded: "I...... I'm here. ”

"Then tell me about your uncle's corpse last night!"

As soon as he mentioned this, Bai Xiaowu's face suddenly changed, and he stammered, "Just ...... It was my uncle, he suddenly sat up straight, and then crawled out of the coffin, and then, and then ......, "Presumably because of fear, Bai Xiaowu's breathing became rapid.

"And then?" Master asked.

"And then...... Then I was scared out...... By the time I woke up, my uncle had gone back to the coffin by himself. ”

The master frowned and asked again, "So, have you noticed what color his eyes are when he cheats the corpse?" ”

Housheng shook his head: "I...... I didn't dare to look at ......."

Master stroked his goatee, muttered for a while, then turned to me and said, "Yu'er, give me the compass!" ”
