When she said this, the blind lady groaned for a while, and added: "To be on the safe side, your family will sacrifice an animal tonight, just in case." ”

I don't understand what the sacrifice is, but later I learned that the most common sacrifice is chickens, pigs and sheep, the general sacrifice is with a rooster, the blind Tai said that the sacrifice is a child, to the gate of the courtyard to kill a chicken, with paper money drenched in the blood of the chicken after throwing the chicken out, and finally see its head in that direction, and then clean the chicken cooked, towards the direction of the chicken head pointed to the sacrifice, if there are any bad signs will be thrown out of the chicken at this time and sacrifice when the sacrifice, Blind Mrs. means that because I was in a hurry last time, I didn't want so many things to happen later, so I was more cautious this time, in case there was something in my house that couldn't be moved, so I had a warning in advance to avoid it.

If you want to sacrifice animals, you still have to bother Mr., so my dad will do this when he invites Mr. to do this, and by the way, I will also tell him about Ming'er. After that, Blind Ah Tai and Linglong also went back, saying that they would come back the next day, and it would be enough for Mr. to sacrifice the animals.

In the blink of an eye, in the evening, although I was still a little sad after the fever subsided, but on the whole it was much better, and the sacrificial woman was yin and heavy, so she couldn't do it, and there were only two men in the family, me and my dad, so my husband asked me and my dad to help some. After a stick of incense, Mr. burned incense and paper money, and began to kill chickens for sacrifice, I only saw him very skillfully take a knife on the chicken's ink so much, my father quickly drenched the chicken blood with paper money, Mr. Wu thought to himself, and threw the chicken out with a knife, and let it flutter and struggle on the ground.

These scenes are no different from ordinary chicken killing, I watched the chicken struggle on the ground, and I couldn't see any wayway, and the gentleman kept watching and not speaking, until it finally fluttered a few times, and then it didn't move at all, and it seemed to be completely dead. The gentleman then began to walk over to pick up the chicken, but when the gentleman walked over, I suddenly saw that the chicken, which had been dead on the ground, suddenly fluttered its wings, and stood up with a "poof", and after standing up, the chicken's head was standing upright, which startled us, and the gentleman who was walking over stopped and looked at it, and it stood motionless and quietly, and this scene lasted for about ten seconds, and then it suddenly fell to the ground as if it had been drained of strength.

It's just that I found that at first it was dead and its head was facing outward, and when it got up and fell down, its head was facing the gate of our house, but it was not so much towards the gate as towards me, which is what I felt at the time.

The gentleman hesitated for a moment, then picked up the chicken from the ground, handed it to my father, and said, "Call me when it's ready." ”

My dad went in with the chicken, and my husband turned to look at me and asked, "Did you just scare you?" ”

I said, "It's okay, I'm not so scared when I'm scared." ”

The gentleman asked inexplicably, as if it had something to do with me, and he said, "Don't go into the courtyard until the sacrifice is finished." ”

I didn't know what Mr. meant by that, so I stood outside the door and he was outside with me, but he went to see the blood on the ground after he had just thrown the chicken.

I saw that the ground was full of blood and messy, and I didn't look at it, but I thought it was bloody, but the gentleman looked very carefully, as if he could see what was coming from, and more importantly, I saw him look at it several times from different angles, and finally he looked up and said, "Come and see." ”

So I got closer and looked closer, but I couldn't look, so I said, "I don't understand this, I can't see anything." ”

But the gentleman said, "Look carefully at the blood on the ground." ”

I still didn't know what to do, but my husband pointed to the blood on the ground and said, "Didn't you notice that the blood on the ground had begun to disappear in just such a short time?" ”

I had no idea about these things, and the gentleman said, "Generally speaking, it takes half an hour for the blood stains to coagulate and turn black, and the blood should still be fresh in such a short time, but you see, although the blood on the ground is black, it is not coagulated, which means that something is sucking these blood stains." ”

I said, "Are they the souls of my family?" ”

The gentleman looked up at me, as if surprised that I had said such a thing, and he said, "The soul of the dead does not suck this, this is a demon!" ”

I just felt confused: "Devil? ”

My husband didn't answer me, and continued to carefully identify the blood on the ground, and I said, "Could it be the cat ghost in the house?" ”

The gentleman shook his head and said, "It seems that you have no concept of these at all, whether it is the general ghost or the cat ghost, he does not suck blood, and the general blood suckers are those heinous evil ghosts, and they not only suck blood, but also other dead souls, and judging from the signs just now, he should be in your house." ”

When I said this, my husband suddenly looked at me and said solemnly: "Even on you!" ”

When it came to me, I immediately thought of the black paper figure, and I felt that the thing attached to this paper figure definitely deserved such a name, and it was also possible that the two I had seen it, one was the one I saw standing at the gate of the courtyard when I watched the death, and the other was the one who sat on the edge of my bed during the day today.

After that, there was silence, until my dad had completely finished the sacrificial chicken inside, and then he brought out the things that were to be used for the sacrifice in the same way, and finally the husband used chopsticks to hold the chicken and kept it in a standing position, and there were some other bits and pieces, and then he began to sacrifice towards the door of my yard.

This process is the same as ordinary sacrifices, there is nothing special to describe, and there is no special phenomenon, so I didn't see anything after the end, but the gentleman's face was very bad, very serious, after the end he said to my father: "This chicken let it be outside, no matter what you hear outside tonight, don't come out to see, let alone open the door, I'll come back early tomorrow morning, as for other things, wait for Ming'er to talk about it again." ”

After packing up these things, he left, but when he left, he took two sticks of incense and lit them, I don't know what the intention was, when Mr. lit the incense, he said to me: "When you walk at night, light a stick of incense and insert it in the place where you go out, and the other stick in your hand, these two sticks of incense are used to prevent ghosts from hooking people, walk at night and hear footsteps behind you don't look back, don't look back when you hear someone calling your name, don't look back when you see the incense in your hand, don't look around and hurry up, If the incense in your hand is extinguished, there may be evil around you, to prevent the ghost from hitting the wall and going the wrong way not to be taken away by the evil spirit, if you really encounter this situation, the incense you go out is to show you the way, you will finally walk to the point of this incense, as long as you stay still and wait until dawn, it will be fine. ”

Because Mr. is leaving, so I didn't go into great detail, just roughly told me some, he said these are just the basics, and there are many more, if I want to know, wait for the future to tell me slowly, he also said that if you want to walk far away at night, it is best to bring one or two pairs of straw sandals with you, and put a pair when you meet a bridge, and you can save your life when you are in danger.

The gentleman didn't finish speaking, nor did he say the reason, he hurried away, and I only felt that I had never heard of these things before, and I thought it was really amazing.

How to say it this night, because of the advice of the husband, we heard any sound and didn't open the door, I don't know if the rest of the family heard it, anyway, I heard a lot of people knocking on the courtyard door, but I didn't pay attention, just shrunk my body into the quilt tighter, and then the sound was gone.

But I was so scared that I couldn't sleep, and at last I heard a "squeak" and my door was pushed open, and my scalp was numb, and then I saw a man standing in the doorway.

When I saw this figure, I felt my head explode in an instant, and then I felt something cold dripping on my face, one drop, two drops......
