Tethered doll I know.

In some places, there is a custom of asking for children. On the third day of March every year, after a long-term marriage and infertility go to the local temple to make a vow, a red rope will be tied to something in the picture, which can be a Buddha statue, a stone, a tree branch, etc., and it is said that it will not take long for the child seeker to become pregnant.

I don't know if the tethered doll is effective, maybe it's just to ask for a lottery and get lucky.

I really haven't heard of the ghost cub ridge in the past.

Ghost Cub Ridge doesn't sound like a good place.

Ghost cubs, ghost cubs, is it possible to leash ghost dolls?

That stone is the doll that was tied back?

And what about the three coffins and five tribulations?

I thought about it, and the more I thought about it, the more confused I became, so I asked the man.

The man was also honest and told me: "The doll tied to the Ghost Cub Ridge is very good, and if you can't ask for it when you go to the temple, you can go to the Ghost Cub Ridge and tie it to a quasi, but the doll tied back is full of disasters and difficulties, and before you get married, you will commit three coffins and five tribulations." The three coffins refer to having three life worries, and the five calamities refer to having five calamities, such as car accidents, injuries, and so on. ”

My brain twitched, and I asked, "Did you really do this?" Or is it just a legend? ”

The man glanced at me and said, "Naturally, it's true." ”

After speaking, he glanced around again, lowered his voice and said: "Actually, the dolls tied back from the Ghost Cub Ridge are all ghost babies, God does not allow them to be reincarnated without permission, so he will use various methods to punish them, and illness is one of them." So every time they get sick, their parents put the begging doll in the coffin to fool God, meaning that the doll is dead. The one you just saw has been sick for several days, and he's been to every hospital he can go to, and he doesn't see anything sick at all. ”

And such a thing?

My heart sank, and then I thought of my bizarre life experience, and I was relieved.

"How do you know that the doll tied to Ghost Cub Ridge is a ghost baby?"

"It's a long story, if you go and see it, you'll understand." As he spoke, he changed his words, "But it's better not to go, that place is very evil." ”

I was about to ask again, but he pointed to a family not far away and said to me, "It's here, that's Lin Yang's house, you can go." ”

I thanked him and watched him walk away before heading to the fat man's house.

It was nine o'clock.

The door of the fat man's house is closed, but through the crack in the door, you can see that there is a light inside.

I knocked on the door a few times, and a female voice came from the courtyard: "Who?" ”

Then the door opened, and it was a woman in her fifties, who was supposed to be the mother of a fat man.

She looked at me for a moment, and I hurriedly spoke: "Auntie, I'm Lin Yang's classmate, is Lin Yang at home?" ”

She hesitated for a moment before replying, "Oh, you have something to do with him?" ”

This atmosphere is not right, she has a sad face, as if she has something on her mind.

I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart, could it be that something happened to the fat man?

"I'm really going to have something to do with him."

I lied and told me what the fat man taught me years ago, but I changed my words, I didn't say that it was his boss, but that I came to him to discuss some business matters.

When she heard me say this, her eyes turned red and tears fell straight down.

Looks like I'm guessing.

I'll just say, if the fat man is fine, why won't he answer my phone.

I wanted to ask the fat man what happened, but when I saw his mother in tears, I finally swallowed it back.

I'm afraid to hear bad news.

I shared the dormitory with him for four years, and I fooled around together for half a year, and I was considered to have lived and died together, and that brotherhood had long since transcended the friendship between classmates, and it was really hard for me to accept that something really happened to him.

"Come on in, let's talk about it in the house." The fat mother wiped away her tears, let me in, and closed the door.

As soon as I entered the yard, my head "boomed" and I was stupid.

A large black coffin is being placed in the middle of the courtyard!

Could it be that the fat man ......

I was stimulated by this coffin, and the slightest fluke that existed just now disappeared in an instant!

When we parted, he was fine!

The fat man who is alive and well, why did he suddenly ......

What the hell has happened these days?

A man in his fifties came out of the house when he heard the voice, took my things from my hands, and let me in.

I followed him indifferently and asked reluctantly, "Uncle, Lin Yang, ...... What happened to him? ”

The man replied: "Since the second day of junior high school, he has been unconscious, and now it has been five or six days......"

Hearing this, I was overjoyed and couldn't wait to interrupt him: "Uncle, do you mean to say that Lin Yang is just in a coma?" ”

"Although it was only a coma, it was not a simple coma, I took him to the hospital for a check-up, and there was nothing wrong with him. I also found a few gentlemen to take a look, saying that the soul was lost, and I couldn't call it back, so let ...... Let's prepare for the aftermath. ”

The man choked up a little at this.

The fat man's mother cried directly: "I went out to study for a few years, I have grown my skills, I don't accept anything, I don't believe in anything, I can do it myself, it's good now, if I didn't get him back with his father......"

It seems that there is a reason for the fat man's coma, I didn't rush to see him, and asked directly: "Auntie, what is Lin Yang not convinced?" What the hell happened to him? ”

The fat man's parents looked at each other, as if they were a little strange at me asking the bottom of the matter.

I also felt a little abrupt, so I added: "My grandfather is a Taoist priest, I have learned some skills from him since I was a child, if Lin Yang really loses his soul, I may be able to help him get it back." ”

There was obviously a disbelief in their eyes, but now that the matter had come, they could only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, so they told me what had happened.

The fat man's mother said: "You are a foreigner, you must not know that we have a doll here to beg for a child." ”

I was stunned, why is it a tethered doll again? Could it be that the fat man is also tethered?

The fat lady's next words confirmed my conjecture.

"I have been married to your uncle for eight years and have no children, and then I had no choice but to tie a doll, and then I had Lin Yang."

"You doll can't be tethered from Ghost Cub Ridge, right?" I couldn't help but ask.

The fat father nodded, looked at me in surprise and asked, "Do you know Ghost Cub Ridge?" ”

"I've heard people say, don't you know too much, what kind of place is this Ghost Cub Ridge?"

The fat father explained to me seriously: "Ghost Cub Ridge is a small ravine west of our village. When I was young, it was not a place to tie up dolls, nor was it called Ghost Cub Ridge, but it was called Dead Child Ditch. I heard that since the end of the Qing Dynasty, anyone in the neighborhood has lost their children, or there are children who can't support them, they have thrown them there. ”

I can understand this, this is similar to the custom in our hometown, children before the age of twelve are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave after death, just find a place to bury it.

What does it mean to have a child who can't be raised?
