Chapter 2: The Old Man's Home Is Haunted After His Death Just Because There Is Such a Thing in the House (2)
Li Kan turned on his mobile phone and called up the photo he had just taken for me to see, saying that the problem was in the method of bandaging the cloth bag, and it was said that it should be wrapped tightly and the gap could not be left, but I don't know if the old man wrapped it himself, or the person who helped him make this bureau was a second knife, in short, it was very unprofessional.
When the old man died of illness in the house, his soul was sucked in by the "magnetic needle" through the gap in the cloth bag, and he couldn't walk away if he wanted to, and only when the yin and yang were handed over at twelve o'clock, he could barely break free, but he couldn't go far, and he could only knock on the door desperately for help.
When the tenants heard the knock, their first reaction was that someone was knocking on the door outside the house, but they were all wrong, the door should have been knocked from inside the house, and it was the old man's soul who begged someone to help him get out.
As soon as he explained this, I completely understood, so I urged him, then why don't you quickly break this "ci needle", so that the old man can be reincarnated as soon as possible, and he will be pitiful when he is alive, and he can no longer suffer when he dies.
Li Kan said that it is not difficult to break this situation, just smash the "Ci Needle" with something to ward off evil spirits, but there is the soul of the old man sucked in it, and if you do it rashly, the old man will also be scattered. Judging from the current analysis, it is more appropriate to wait until twelve o'clock at night, after the old man's soul is temporarily out of the "ci needle".
I said no, do you have to come again at night, how panicked.
Li Kan ignored me, looked at his watch, and said that it was only five o'clock, let's go and prepare something to eat before coming over.
After going out, seeing that everyone was still waiting outside, we declined the brothers' kindness to invite them to dinner, only asked them for the keys, and said a few words to the neighbors before leaving.
Li Kan first took me to the hardware store to buy a hammer.
On the way, he met a stationery store, and Li Kan went in to buy a few narrow rolls of scotch tape and a paper cutter. He saw that there was a bright yellow backpack that was good, so he bought it and gave it to me, saying that it was indispensable to bring something to work with him when he went to the construction site in the future, and this bag was the most suitable to use.
I thought the color was a bit too harsh, but looking at the orange crossbody bag he was carrying, I didn't say anything more, maybe he just liked this kind of flamboyant color.
After doing these things, Li Kan took me to Shaxian County for snacks, and one person asked for a set of rice bowls and a chicken leg, and it was only seven o'clock after eating.
I saw that there was a seven-day holiday hotel next to it, and said let's go open an hourly room and sleep for a while, we have to stay up late at night.
Li Kan disagreed, and pulled me directly to the construction site, saying that it was better to go to sleep if I wanted to sleep, and if I could save it, I would save it, otherwise I would have to pay off my arrears.
I had no choice but to go back to the old man's house with him.
On the way, he saw a fruit shop, and he ran to weigh a few catties of plums. I think he doesn't look at it, but he pays attention to his health, and knows how to get some fruit to eat after a meal.
When we arrived at the construction site, there was no one at the door, and we didn't want to alarm everyone anymore, so we just poked open the door lightly and slipped in sideways.
Li Kan asked me to go to the kitchen to find a bowl and find a way to mash the plums into juice. I said, what are you doing with all the effort? Just wash it and eat it.
He came to me with a knee from behind and said to eat a hammer, which is used to break the game.
I had no choice but to find garlic mortars in the kitchen, mash a few catties of plums into red juice, and fill a whole soup basin.
Li Kan took out a small roll of thin red rope from his satchel, threw it all into the soup basin, and brought a pair of chopsticks over, and fished it several times like noodles until the red rope was completely soaked.
Then he scooped up the slimy red rope and unfolded it with his hands, tying one end to the leg of the table and the other to the doorknob and tying it tightly.
While doing this, he asked me to find red paper from his satchel. After taking it out, I was asked to cut all the red paper into three finger-width strips with a paper cutter, and then connected the strips with scotch tape.
This is a delicate job, I didn't pass the handicraft class in art class since I was a child, and I squatted on the ground and tossed for a while with a sore back, and finally got it done.
Li Kan said it's okay, wash your hands and go to bed and sleep for a while, remember to set a watch, let's get up on time at half past eleven to work.
The previous tenant was in a hurry when he ran, and the bed cover was not removed, so we slept and picked up a ready-made. Li Kan started snoring not long after lying down, but I couldn't sleep at all, mainly because of what had happened here, which made me feel a little scared after all.
I couldn't sleep, so I simply swiped WeChat. Most of my circle of friends are classmates from school, as well as comrades-in-arms who served in the army, and now everyone has their own lives in different places. Judging from the circle of friends, they are all doing better than me, either getting a good job, starting a happy family, or traveling everywhere.
I thought, what am I doing now? I don't know how everyone will react if I take a picture of the current situation and send it to the circle with the words "overtime ghost hunting ......".
I was also sleepy while brushing, and I fell asleep without feeling it.
I don't know how long it took, but I was pushed awake by Li Kan, and when it was time, I got up and prepared to prepare.
I watched in a daze as he walked into the bathroom with his newly bought hammer and heard the sound of water flushing inside. I wondered if this guy still had to bring a tool to the toilet.
He came out of the toilet and I was completely awake and I noticed that the hammer was wet and dripping.
He saw me staring at his hand, his expression was a little unnatural, and asked me what I was doing? I pointed to the hammer and asked what was going on.
He smiled awkwardly and said that it was child urine, and that after pouring a hammer with it, it could ward off evil spirits.
I asked him where he got the boy's pee, and he said he did. I fell to the ground laughing at the time, my cousin had a bad reputation among my mother's relatives since he was a child, saying that he was fooling around in society all day long and was not an honest child. I didn't expect such a guy to be almost thirty years old and still a virgin.
Li Kan's face was flushed with my taunts, and he reached out and threw the hammer into my arms, and I was so frightened that I hid everywhere, his urine was disgusting to death, and he was stained by that thing, and he couldn't even ask for clothes.
He was impatient, stopped, and told me solemnly, to get the hammer quickly, and to smash the "ci needle" according to his order at twelve o'clock.
I was originally smiling, and I was a little nervous when I saw him suddenly so serious, but I was still very hard-mouthed, saying that he was deliberately manipulating me, why did he let me smash it, and he was watching from the side.
Li Kan said that he wanted to attract souls. This plum is a very heavy yin thing, the red rope is dipped with plum juice, and after the old man's soul comes out, he will unconsciously follow the red rope. He is responsible for keeping an eye on the red rope, as long as there is any movement, it means that the old man's soul has come out, and I can use a hammer stained with the child's urine to destroy the "Ci Needle", and then let the old man go.
Hearing him say this, I was a little unconsciously weak, and I was about to see the filth with my naked eyes, and this was really the first time that a big girl had been in a sedan chair.
Time flies very slowly, and it feels like ten hours have passed since twelve o'clock, but I feel like ten hours have passed.
I held the hammer high, my eyes fixed on the red thread, the wooden hammer handle in my palm was slippery and sticky, I don't know if it was because of my nervous sweat, or if Li Kan's urine was running down the hammer.
I felt a little disgusted, and I was wondering if I should find something like paper to wipe my hands, when suddenly I saw the rope move, and then it shook up and down like someone was shaking it.
Li Kan had duct tape in his mouth and red notes in both hands, and he was already waiting aside.
He turned the red side of the red paper towards the rope, like a bandage, and wrapped the rope around and around it, and from time to time he pulled a piece of scotch tape in the middle to reinforce it.
His hands were so fast, and they were tied beautifully, and in the blink of an eye, the red rope was densely wrapped with red paper.
He broke the two ends of the red rope with force, wrapped each one in red paper, and wrapped it with transparent tape finely, so that a white paper stick was completed. Finally, he wiped his sweat and leaned the white paper stick against the table.
Although I didn't quite understand what he was doing, I was stunned by his skillful and neat technique, and Li Kan even shouted "do it" twice and I was indifferent until he kicked me in the ass, and I woke up like a dream.
I used all my strength to smash the "ci needle" fiercely, and the sewing needle broke in two under the light, and the magnet shattered into many pieces, splashing everywhere.
In the past two years as a soldier, my physical fitness has not been trained in vain, and this hammer almost collapsed the dining table.
Li Kan stared at me in surprise for a long time, and then he took a long breath and said OK, the old man's soul was in the red rope, and he couldn't get out of it wrapped in red paper.
I didn't listen carefully to his explanation, so I quickly went to the toilet first, and I put my right hand and the hammer in my hand under the faucet and rushed it. Halfway through, it's so disgusting to think about it, I don't even need the hammer, and throw it directly into the wastebasket.
I was done with all this stuff, and I just came out of the toilet when suddenly a voice sounded.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
