1993, late autumn and winter solstice.

In the middle of the night, the north wind howled, and the first snow fell on the Loess Plateau without warning, burying the desolate loess land, because of the perennial grazing and felling, as far as the eye could see, the ravines and ravines, not a single tree could be seen, there was only plain wrapping here, no silver.

Subei Province, a small border town.

In the northeast of the town, there is a small village called the village of Yin, only a narrow and bumpy dirt road can lead to it, the more you go inside, the more desolate it is, the people who named this village at first must not have much culture, it is estimated that it is caused by the prosperity of herding sheep, climb to the highest mountain and take a look, the village is located in a corner of the village, so I took a name that I think is very in line with the appearance of the village, and it has continued to this day, fortunately, thanks to the wisdom of the ancestors, at least the word "Yiyi" is still there.

Because the first snow came too early, in the words of the old man, "the earth is still very strong", and as soon as the sun came out, the original fragile snow flakes did not last long, all turned into water, dipped into the loess, the wind is still the same, but it is only in vain, can not bring the dust, and so the villagers have pushed the door open, only to feel a bone-chilling cold, "why is it snowing so early..."

At this time, the sorghum of the last family was also loaded into the warehouse with the help of the men in the village, and the winter wheat also drank the first sip of snow water, and it was still growing green.

With their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky, the villagers of Yiyi Village, who have been dripping with sweat for more than half a year, are finally able to usher in a relatively leisurely period of the year.

It stands to reason that at this time, the men took their own steamed buns and pickles, and then carried a brown rope, don't have an axe, and went all over the mountains to carry firewood.

However, it was already three poles in the morning, but no one came out of the village, and after waiting for a long time, I saw a woman in a plaid cloth shirt hurrying in one direction, carrying a basket in her hand, covered with a piece of cloth, and she couldn't see what was inside.

When the woman arrived at the place, a man had already greeted her, and the woman hurriedly handed over the basket.

"Three and a half years old, big red rooster."

The man lifted the cloth on the basket and saw that a big red rooster with bright eyes and bright red fur was looking around.

"Auntie, thank you!"

"As long as the dog baby is fine, a rooster is nothing, take it in!"

The man nodded, put the basket back on, and walked into the tightly wrapped room with three layers inside and three layers outside.

Outside the house, there was a large crowd of people, all with some anxiety and worry on their faces, it was none other than the rest of the village.

The man who went in with the rooster was called Li Aijun, who was the only barefoot doctor in this isolated and remote village, in that era of scarcity of materials, there was a headache and brain fever, and it was basically impossible to go to a hospital more than 50 kilometers away from the county seat, so it was all dependent on the Qi Huang technique passed down from generation to generation by the Li family, but whenever you were sick, Li Aijun always had a way to prescribe two pairs of medicines to you, and the price was so low that you only charged a medicinal herb, and even owed a year or two on credit was a common thing, if even he couldn't be cured, That's basically the time to prepare for the future.

Over the years, the Li family's prestige and virtue in Yiyi Village are unmatched, as long as their family has a big or small matter, almost all the adults in the village will come to help.

However, today they were helpless in the face of what happened to the Li family.

Li Aijun's only seedling, Li Gouwa, is sick.

This disease is very strange, or it should not be called a disease, but it is evil.

In the village where information dissemination is limited, everyone is afraid of ghosts and gods, but the Li family's three-year-old lone seedling fell into evil!

Li Aijun, who had just entered the house, shivered, the sun was shining at noon, and the temperature was at least ten degrees, but this room was like a cold day, a bowl of boiling water on the table, not long after it was poured out, it was already covered with a thin layer of ice, and when he breathed, he saw a cloud of white mist, several oil lamps were smoking, illuminating the dark room, and a large pot of red carbon fire on the ground was able to maintain the temperature in the house.

On the kang a black and blue male baby wrapped in several quilts, his eyes were closed, because of the pain, his face was a little distorted, the woman on the side hugged the male baby, tears fell down like broken beads, and his eyes were red and swollen, this woman was Li Aijun's mother-in-law, the dog baby's mother, because the dog baby had a disease after giving birth, and completely lost her fertility, so this dog baby became the only incense of the Li family.

"Uncle Wang, do you think this rooster can do it?" Li Aijun looked at his mother-in-law and son, his heart trembled, and he almost cried, but he knew that he couldn't mess up first no matter what, so he forcibly held back his tears, grabbed the two thighs of the rooster, and picked them up.

An old man wearing a Taoist robe of some age took a look at it, and said with a happy face: "It's completely okay, this rooster has sharp eyes, a crown as red as blood, and a compelling aura, it will definitely last for a while!" ”

Li Aijun's mouth of the 'Uncle Wang' is a very famous mage in the next village - Wang Banxian, who wants to move the village on weekdays, Dingyin acupoint to see feng shui, exorcism and jumping gods, will prepare some incense, candles, wine and meat to please, because he and Li Aijun a rescue person, a dead person, the two are also very familiar, heard that the Li family had an accident, rushed over early in the morning.

Wang Banxian didn't dare to delay, took the rooster in Li Aijun's hand and put it in front of him, was stunned, looked at the rooster's eyes and said: "This poor ravine actually has such a spiritual thing as you, maybe it is also the creation of heaven and earth, I won't hurt your life, just take a few drops of your cockscomb blood to save people, can you?" ”

Li Aijun was surprised to find that the rooster that was desperately fluttering its wings seemed to understand Wang Banxian's words, and he didn't move, and a clear croaking sound came out of his throat.

Wang Banxian said "thank you" gratefully, took a needle, and gently picked it on the cockscomb, and a blood line shot out, fortunately, Wang Banxian left early to prepare, a palm-sized porcelain dish had been waited, and after touching the small half dish, the rooster's crow began to worsen.

Wang Banxian understood what it meant, recited a few incantations, touched the cockscomb, and immediately stopped bleeding, which made Li Aijun and his mother-in-law feel a trace of hope in addition to being surprised.

"Let its owner be well raised, this rooster is a baby, it has such an aura in three years, and over time, it may become a climate"

Wang Banxian put away the rooster's comb blood, hugged the rooster with his head drooping, and admonished.

Li Aijun carefully took the rooster out, handed it to the woman, relayed Wang Banxian's words as it was, and hurriedly ran into the house.

When he came in, he found that Wang Banxian had already started to move, only to see him take the black dog blood and cockscomb blood that he had prepared earlier, and mixed them together, and took out two small paper bags from his arms, opened them and poured them in.

After the blending is completed, he unfolds a yellow talisman and takes out a brush, dips the tip of the pen with the mixture, and begins to make talismans.

After a moment of talisman drawing, Wang Banxian let out a long breath, as if he had aged several years in an instant, and muttered: "With my ability, this Five Spirits Evil Suppression Talisman is already the strongest talisman I can draw at present, if it still doesn't work......"

Wang Banxian didn't finish speaking, but everyone knew the implication, if it still didn't work, this dog baby might really have no skills to recover.

"The sky is clear and the earth is clear, the spirit rune is thorough, knock on the three clears, worship the yin Cao down, there is a Li chick dog baby today, the evil is haunted, I am now a talisman, bless Anping, urgent as the law!" After Wang Banxian finished reciting the incantation, he cut Li Gouwa's finger, took a drop of blood on the talisman, and directly pasted it on Li Gouwa's forehead.

Suddenly, Li Gouwa was like an electric shock, her whole body shook violently, the boss with her mouth open, and in the terrible scream, a cold black gas spewed out of her mouth, and everyone only felt as if they were about to be frozen, there seemed to be dozens of resentful spirits in the black gas, and the sound of crying and laughter filled the whole room, and the people who listened were terrified!

"How can there be so many resentful spirits in the body of the dog baby!" Wang Banxian was dumbfounded in fright, staring blankly at the black qi entrenched on the roof.

"Uncle Wang, what's the matter, my dog baby is ......" Li Aijun and his mother-in-law were dumbfounded, they were all ordinary people, they had seen this situation there, and looked at Wang Banxian tremblingly.

Wang Banxian came back to his senses and scolded angrily: "You guys! The dog baby was born in the lunar year, the moon and the yin moment, is a hundred years of rare yin body, for the ghosts and evil things, there is simply an irresistible temptation, which wants to devour his soul, when the baby was born, I told, no matter what, don't go to the place where the yin is heavy, and wear the piece of jade pendant I gave anytime and anywhere, you are good, actually let him go to the mass grave! Moreover, the life-saving spirit jade left to me by my master was broken, and now, dozens of resentful spirits are attached to him, who can have a way!! ”

Li Aijun's mother-in-law was frightened, and when she heard that these things were resentful spirits, she knelt down in front of Wang Banxian and buckled her head again and again, pleading: "It's all my fault that I'm not good, I didn't look at him, who knows if he doesn't pay attention, he ...... I actually ran to that place to play, Uncle Wang, you watched his dog grow up, please save him, even if it is my life! ”

Li Aijun also knelt down, Wang Banxian stretched out his fingers, couldn't say a word for a long time, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "Maybe this is his life!" That's it, I have no children and no daughters in my life, and I almost regard the dog baby as my own grandson, today I just let go of this old life, and I have to try! ”

"Thank you Uncle Wang, thank you Uncle Wang!" Li Qiujun and his mother-in-law seemed to grasp the only life-saving straw, and kept kowtowing, and even blood oozed from their foreheads.

"Get up! Close the door, stick this talisman on the edge of the door, no matter what you hear, no one will be allowed to come in, and I will fight with these miscellaneous pieces today! ”

Wang Banxian drew another talisman, handed it to Li Aijun, drove the two out of the room, plugged in the door, took off his robe, and pulled out a peach wood sword from his back, a layer of extremely thin blue light covered the sword, took a deep breath, and said in a shocking voice: "Evil animal, after death, you will not enter the Yin Division to write off your account, and you will harm people by staying in the world without permission, if you want the soul of this little baby, ask me about this ghost-killing sword in my hand first!" ”

Roar, roar, roar!

There was an inhuman roar from the black air on the roof, like a ghost crying wolf, and the villagers gathered outside the house were frightened and retreated when they heard it.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Banxian's angry shouts and the roar of the resentful spirits sounded in the room along with the sound of fierce fighting.

The fight lasted for half an hour, and the movement inside weakened, Li Aijun and his aunt glanced at each other, but they didn't dare to rush in.

After a while, Wang Banxian's voice came from the room: "Come in..."

The two hurriedly pushed open the door and went in, the things in the room were scattered all over the place, the oil lamp had long been extinguished, Wang Banxian sat on the side of the kang as if he had no bones, only holding the hilt of the peachwood sword in his hand, blood hung on the corner of his mouth, and the clothes on his body were torn into strips of cloth by something, scarred, as if he had more air out and less air in.

"Uncle Wang! What happened to you?! Li Aijun jumped to Wang Banxian's side and held him up.

"Hehe... It's okay, I just got into a fight with the dirty stuff in the dog's baby's body, but these old bones are really useless, I can't kill them, but... Ahem, those things were also injured by me, and I won't be able to hurt the dog baby for a while. ”

Only then did Li Aijun notice that the black gas shrouded in the roof was gone, and the dog baby had obviously improved a lot, and his face had a human color.

"Help me up..."Reflecting Wang Banxian's face as pale as paper, he stood up on Li Aijun's shoulder, moved to sit next to the dog, touched his face kindly, and then peeled off the dog's clothes, dipped in the magic medicine prepared at that time, and drew a gossip pattern on the dog's chest with all his might.

"Aijun, I'm already unbearable, the next life and death of the dog baby depends on you, you listen to me..."Wang Banxian lay next to the dog baby and whispered in Li Aijun's ear.

"Uncle Wang... This... Will it work?! ”

"Now there is only this way, these resentful spirits stay in the body of the dog baby, relying on his unique physique to recover quickly, this time they are provoked, and if they come out again, I am afraid that they will completely kill the dog baby!" Wang Banxian said with difficulty.

"Good! I'll take someone out now! When Li Aijun heard this, he didn't say anything more, picked up Wang Banxian's bag, and turned around and went out.

"Remember, before twelve o'clock tonight, I must come back, otherwise my gossip seal and evil charm will not be able to stop it!"

Li Aijun walked to the door, and Wang Banxian added.

"Don't worry, Uncle Wang, even if it is death, I will rush back!" Li Aijun clenched his fists, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.
