Chapter 6: The Deadly Red Shoes
A swarthy man swaggered down the road with a pair of red shoes, holding a "Hademen" in his mouth, looking very proud.
It was getting dark, and the people who came and went to hoe carried baskets and hoes, and looked at the red shoes in amazement, and were very envious.
"His grandmother's, such beautiful shoes, when I have money, I will also buy a pair for my mother-in-law!"
"People are more popular than dead people! This osmanthus is really a blessing! Wang Taide personally went to the town to run just to buy her a pair of shoes, which is like my man! All you know is how to play cards! ”
"The old lady is also going to change into a pair of beautiful shoes, and the scenery in the village is beautiful!"
……
When Wang Taide heard the discussion of the villagers, he held his head high and became even more proud.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Osmanthus, I'm back in a hurry!"
The door was opened by a woman of about thirty years of age, with a thin yellow face and a slightly sickly appearance, wearing a plain gown and a pair of white cloth trousers full of patches.
"You're back, come in, I've already cooked dinner."
Wang Taide took a sip of water when he entered the house, and dangled the red shoes in front of Osmanthus, "Osmanthus, how is it?" These shoes look good, right? I went to town to buy it for you! Try to see if it fits. ”
"Let's eat first." Cuihua's tone was calm, and her expression didn't change at all.
Wang Taide picked up the bowl of noodles on the table that was still steaming and devoured it, and finally drank all the soup.
Osmanthus cleaned up the table and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and chopsticks.
"Hey! It's so boring! Why didn't Osmanthus react at all? Wang Taide threw the red shoes aside, poured water and washed his feet, and went into the house to sleep.
……
Before dawn, a group of Cuihua had already set off from home with a flashlight, and when she arrived in town, she hurried to the bus station.
Her luck was not bad, and there was still a place left on the shuttle bus to the provincial capital.
The First People's Hospital.
Zhao Shenggang was wearing oxygen and a plaster cast on his right leg, but fortunately he was out of danger.
"Shenggang, I'm Cuihua, can you hear me?" Cuihua whispered in Zhao Shenggang's ear.
Zhao Shenggang's fingers moved slightly, his mouth opened, and he was about to say something, Cuihua lowered her head to listen, "I, I can't live ......"
"Shenggang, don't worry, you're out of danger, it's okay, it's okay." Cuihua said to Zhao Shenggang with a crying voice.
"She's here! She's going to hurt me! Zhao Shenggang suddenly opened his eyes, and there was only horror in his eyes.
The nurse heard Zhao Shenggang shouting and hurriedly entered the ward.
"What's wrong?"
Before Cuihua could speak, she heard Zhao Shenggang shouting: "It's her!" This vicious woman! She's going to hurt me! I don't want to see her! Get lost! ”
Cuihua felt very inexplicable, she quickly explained to the nurse: "My name is Cuihua, I am his wife, am I the one who will harm him?" ”
Cuihua glanced at Zhao Shenggang, her eyes flickering, "Shenggang, you can't even recognize your mother-in-law, let's do it!" ”
The nurse shook her head, "Your husband is overly frightened, and he spends all day talking about what kind of red shoes are singing women, alas, it seems that he has a mental problem. ”
The red shoes Cuihua didn't know, but she had indeed heard of this singing woman, and this woman's laughter was something she could not forget.
Cuihua put the Heavenly Master Seal under Zhao Shenggang's pillow, and the nurse pulled her over, "What did you put under the patient's pillow?" Don't put electronics! This will affect the patient's recovery! The nurse looked serious.
"Girl, don't worry, I don't put electronic products, it's the seal of the Heavenly Master given to me by the Duangong in the village, which is used to ward off evil spirits."
The nurse shook her head helplessly, disdainful of the Heavenly Master Seal, and secretly thought to herself: "Hey, it doesn't matter what the seal is, as long as it doesn't affect the patient's recovery!"
"Okay, if anything, you can press the pager at the bedside." The nurse left the ward as soon as Zhao Sheng finished changing the fluid.
It's strange to say, after Cuihua put the Heavenly Master Seal under Zhao Shenggang's pillow, Zhao Shenggang also quieted down, and there was no more nonsense.
Cuihua silently accompanied Zhao Shenggang like this, day after day, Zhao Shenggang's condition finally recovered, but there was no expression on his face, his spirit was not good, and he looked depressed.
A month later, Cuihua discharged Zhao Shenggang from the hospital.
As soon as she returned to Yanghuai Village, Cuihua called Wu Shiqing and asked him to do something.
However, at this time, Wu Shiqing was at Wang Taide's house.
Since Wang Taide brought those red shoes home, there has been no peace at home.
The livestock died violently for no apparent reason, and the big yellow dog that raised it all bit the chickens to death, and the next day the big yellow dog died in the chicken pen, covered in dirty blood and bleeding from both eyes.
Immediately after that, it was a nightmare, yelling, and then suddenly he had a serious illness, and he was bedridden so far, and the doctors in the town could not find out the cause.
Wang Taide's skin on his hands slowly festered, and when he went to the town to ask for a doctor, a group of crows circled around him, pecking at him indiscriminately, and his eyes were almost blinded.
Wang Taide had no choice but to go to Wu Shiqing's house in person and ask him to help with it.
Wu Dan is not only Wu Shiqing's daughter, but also Wu Shiqing's descendant, every time there is an event in the dojo, he will bring her, let her open her eyes and lay a foundation for the future.
As soon as Wu Dan arrived at Wang Taide's house, he saw the red shoes.
"Daddy! These are the red shoes I saw that night! How did it end up here? U Thant was a little excited.
"Wang Taide, what about you, why did these red shoes appear in your house?" Wu Shiqing mentioned the red shoes and questioned Wang Taide.
"This ...... This one...... Be...... I picked it up on the road! ”
Wu Shiqing asked: "Picked it up?" ”
"Alas! I said Wu Daduangong, if you like it, I can't give it to you! Wang Taide said helplessly.
Wu Shiqing's expression became serious, and he said seriously: "Wang Taide, think about it carefully, what happened before and after you brought these shoes home. Don't you think it's a little weird? ”
Wang Taide began to think back that before he picked up the shoes, the domestic animals were normal, the osmanthus was only a little weak, and his luck was good.
But since picking up these red shoes, everything has changed at home: the livestock died strangely and violently, the osmanthus was sick and bedridden, her hands were inexplicably festering, and her eyes were almost blinded by crows......
"It's shoes! I got it! It's these red shoes that're doing the trick! Wang Taide woke up like a dream.
Wu Shiqing nodded, and took a look at the red shoes in detail, "These red shoes look very ordinary on the surface, but they are not......"
"it! These shit shoes look pretty beautiful, I didn't expect them to be so vicious! Wang Taide glanced at the red shoes, angry, and couldn't help interrupting Wu Shiqing's words.
"Daddy, a pair of shoes has such a terrifying ability?!"
"Of course, ordinary shoes are not so terrifying, these red shoes are even yin to evil things, the owner of the red shoes can produce evil things, although the red shoes are not as terrifying as evil things, but it can release curses." Wu Shiqing patiently replied.
"Daddy, in this case, the ghost that produced the evil thing is probably the owner of the red shoes!" U Thant is like an initiation.
Wu Shiqing nodded, "The possibility is indeed very high. ”
"I'm a turtle! Lao Tzu immediately went to burn the shoes on his back! Wang Taide snatched the shoes from Wu Shiqing's hands and was about to run into the kitchen, but was quickly stopped by Wu Shiqing.
"Wang Taide, it's useless for you to burn it like this, the curse still exists."
"Alas! Really...... Wu Daduangong! So what do you say?! Wang Taide threw the red shoes to Wu Shiqing.
"Dan'er, bring me cinnabar, chicken blood, brushes, and yellow mounting paper."
"Oh."
Wu Dan took out these things from the toolbox, first handed Wu Shiqing cinnabar, brush, and yellow mounting paper, and then carefully took a small bowl of chicken blood prepared in advance and put it in front of Wu Shiqing.
Wu Shiqing used a brush to paint a little cinnabar, drew some strange patterns on two yellow mounted papers, and then stuffed them into his shoes. He sprinkled a little more chicken blood on the soles of both pairs of shoes.
"Wang Taide, bite you and Osmanthus off the index fingers, I need a drop of your blood and drip it on the toe of your shoes."
Wang Taide didn't hesitate, and bit his index finger fiercely, and blood dripped on the toe of the left shoe. He picked up the red shoe on the right and walked to the osmanthus bed, bit the osmanthus index finger, and dripped blood on the red toe.
Wu Shiqing put the two red shoes together and hummed a divine speech.
"Okay, Wang Taide, now you can burn these red shoes. You are not allowed to go out for seven days, and on the eighth day, you and the osmanthus will naturally be cured without medicine. ”
Wang Taide ignited the stove door and threw the red shoes inside. With a raging fire, the strange things that happened in Wang Taide's family in the past dozens of days finally came to an end.
Wu Shiqing received a call from Cuihua and set off with Wu Dan in a group......
