"Huh?" I was stunned when I heard this.

Anyway, I've been in the shop for so many years, and it's the first time I've heard this kind of thing.

Before I could ask what was going on, I heard the sound of limping footsteps behind me, and the yellow cripple hurried out of the back room.

"Lao Li, what's wrong?"

As soon as the cripple Huang asked, Lao Li was so anxious that he stammered and said, "Master Huang, ginseng doll...... Ginseng Doll ......"

Hearing the words 'ginseng doll', the yellow cripple instantly changed color.

"There are a lot of ginseng picks from August to October, I can guess this kind of thing, I didn't expect you to put it on the stall, go, take me to see!"

Huang Cripple walked out as he spoke, and was just about to go out when he was suddenly stunned, turned around and asked me again: "Shousheng cub, are you almost eighteen?" ”

I nodded.

"It's almost time," the yellow cripple sighed, "yes, you come with me, it's time for you to grow your skills......"

When I heard this, I was overjoyed, after all, I had been with Huang Cripple for more than three years, and he had never taught me anything except cooking and serving people.

I hurriedly locked the door, and rode to the horn mound with the yellow lame man in the donkey cart with Lao Litou.

When we arrived at the horn mound, it was already the middle of the night, and we saw a large circle of people around the courtyard of Lao Li Tou's house, all of them looking into the house in panic, and there was a ghost crying wolf howl from the house, the sound was heartbreaking, it was not like a human sound, and I felt a creep in my heart when I heard it.

When we walked inside, we heard a villager in the crowd shouting: "Huang Ye has arrived, there is salvation, there is salvation!" ”

For a while, the villagers who were blocked in the courtyard turned their heads to look, and even a few elderly people nodded respectfully to the yellow lame, I can't help but wonder, few people around the shop are willing to take care of this strange old man, I didn't expect that in this small broken village, the yellow lame man is quite popular.

Huang Cripple ignored them, walked through the crowd and entered the house with Lao Li Tou, and when he went to the house, he saw that the old lady of the Li family was tied with her hands and feet, lying flat on the kang and convulsing, foaming at the foam, rolling her eyes, her face was miserable and pale, except for a strange black and yellow on her forehead.

The yellow cripple hurriedly climbed onto the kang, and when he rolled the old lady's eyelids, he saw that her eyes were red and bloodshot, and her eyes were sallow and sallow.

I heard Lao Li Tou crying: "I've been tossing for most of the night, I'm afraid that if something happens to her, I can only tie her hands and feet first, and hurry up to find you in the county!" ”

"Don't worry, you can't die yet." Huang Cripple turned around as he spoke, and said to Lao Li: "Prepare me a red-headed chopstick, half a catty burning knife, and then mix it with a scoop of paste, the stickier the better......"

"I'll go!"

Lao Li Tou hurriedly went out of the house to prepare, and after a while, he brought the chopsticks, liquor and paste that Huang Cripple wanted.

Huang Cripple took the thing, glanced at me and said, "Shousheng cub, help me press her two knees on the kang, don't let her jump up." ”

"Jump?"

I was stunned and hurriedly complied.

On the kang, I simply sat on the old lady's two legs, and pressed her two knees with my hands, and then I saw the yellow cripple pinch the old lady's mouth, and began to pour the paste into her mouth with a water scoop.

This is a paste, if you miss and choke into the air pipe, won't you suffocate the old lady to death?

But the yellow cripple was confident, his eyes were staring at the old lady's throat, and the paste in the water ladle in his other hand was evenly poured into the old lady's mouth like a well-proportioned white line, and the old lady's mouth still kept screaming, and the paste did not choke out at all.

After pouring all the ladle of paste, Huang Cripple threw the scoop in his hand, grabbed the chopsticks again, and began to poke the old lady's throat with the red head on the top of the chopsticks with his backhand.

After a few stabs, the old lady's struggle became more intense, as if there was a huge strange force controlling him to bounce, and I almost didn't hold it down and was knocked out by her.

Seeing this, the yellow cripple glared at me and yelled, "You haven't fucking eaten? ”

I didn't dare to say anything, so I quickly lowered my head and continued to press.

The yellow cripple continued to stab, and after stabbing more than ten times, he saw the old lady's chest rise and fall for a while, and the paste began to vomit out in large strands with sour water, at first vomiting out only normal white paste, but after vomiting a few mouthfuls, the rivers and lakes gradually turned gray, and then the color became darker and darker, and gradually turned into pure black......

At this time, I saw the yellow cripple patting the old lady's blackened forehead with his hand, and whispered: "Wandering wandering soul, where to depend; The three souls descended early, and the seven orifices did not come; Riverside wilderness, Huangmiaozhuang Village; public prisons, tombs, mountains and forests; False alarm lawsuits, loss of true souls, collection of soul possession, and help the spirit. ”

With the sound of the yellow lame, the black paste vomited faster and faster from the old lady's mouth, and became more and more violent, and when she almost vomited out a large scoop of paste poured into it, the old lady who was twitching and struggling gradually quieted down.

But suddenly, I heard a squeak, and the black paste that I spit out turned into a little black man with a shape similar to that of a little doll, and stood up from the full kang paste.

I was startled, and almost screamed, but the yellow cripple seemed to have been prepared, and when he saw that the little black man was about to pounce on him, the yellow cripple unhurriedly picked up the wine bowl beside him, drank the burning knife, turned his head and sprayed it on the little black man.

As soon as the burning knife sprayed, the little black man began to roll and squeak, struggling to dodge backwards as he screamed.

"Damn, it's not good to stay in the mountains and run out to hurt people, you say you should kill or not!"

The yellow cripple said and poured another sip of wine and continued to spray on the little black man.

The little black man screamed even worse in an instant, and crawled to the ground trying to escape from the kang.

Seeing this, Lao Litou, who was standing on the side of the kang, wanted to stretch out his hand to block it, but the yellow cripple shouted: "Don't touch it, it's unlucky to touch it for three years!" ”

Lao Li Tou was so frightened that he quickly shrank back, and the little black man jumped off the kang, but before he could run to the door, the yellow cripple shook his hand, and the half bowl of wine in his hand was thrown out, and it smashed on the little black man's body with a snap.

For a moment, I saw that the little black man was like a leech, curled up on the ground and struggling to shrink smaller and smaller, and his arms and legs quickly shrank like four dry toothpicks, and finally twisted into a small dry black ball.

The yellow cripple got off the kang at this time, squatted in front of the small black group and took out a foreign fire stick, and with a stroke, the small black group burned until black smoke came out, and it turned into a puddle of ashes in a moment.

At this time, looking at the old lady on the kang, she had stopped struggling and woke up, and her face was a hundred times stronger than before.

While Lao Li was taking care of the old lady on the kang, Huang Cripple asked, "Lao Li, why did you get into this wrong?" ”

"I, I don't know," Lao Li shook his head with a bitter face, and said: "Recently, I went into the mountain, and I went around for several days before I invited a horseshoe, and I just got off the mountain at noon today, and I wanted to take the ginseng to you tomorrow morning, so something happened......

"Show me the ginseng."

Listening to what Huang Cripple said, Lao Li Tou hurriedly went to the ground, and after rummaging through the box and overturning the cabinet for a while, he took out a red cloth bag from the bottom of the box, and the red cloth bag was wrapped with a red rope, and a string of five emperor coins was hung on it.
