Chapter 25: The Conjuring
After determining the candidates, I asked a few more people: "Do you know Wang Hu's birthday?" ”
Several people shook their heads again and again, there was no way, I had to take advantage of the remaining time to go to the village chief's house.
I asked the village chief for the genealogy of the village, and I confirmed Wang Hu's birthday, wrote it on yellow paper, and pasted it on the bottom of the empty bowl.
Go back to Wang Hu's house, scoop a scoop of water into the empty bowl, and everything is ready!
After seeing that the time was about the same, I beckoned Ergou out of the door and admonished.
"You'll follow me later, I'll shout, you will shout, no matter what the situation is, don't panic, don't shout, don't get rid of the clothes in your hand, you know?"
Ergou nodded, but his body was tense and straight, very nervous.
"Relax!" I patted him on the arm and comforted.
As soon as noon came, I knocked the bowl with a soup spoon and shouted, "Wang Hu, go home!" Then he led the two dogs on the road.
Along the way, I had to knock on the bowl every two steps to ensure that the water in the bowl did not spill out, and on the premise of shouting Wang Hu to go home, at the same time, the second dog behind me would also follow me and shout.
We went back and forth until we reached the entrance of the village, during which I glanced at the water in the bowl from time to time.
If Wang Hu's soul moves, the water in the bowl will become turbid until it is pitch black, which means that the soul has been locked by the water in the bowl, as long as you go back and pour the water on Wang Hu's head, it will be considered a successful conjuring.
However, until I returned to Wang Hu's house from the entrance of the village, there was still no movement in the water in the bowl.
But this situation is quite common, I didn't think so, and led the second dog to a second lap.
But until the end of the second lap, the water in the bowl was still crystal clear and unwavering.
I felt a little weird, but everything was still under control.
I put down the water bowl, told the second dog to watch well, and then turned around and went into the house.
But just as I entered the house to draw the yellow symbol, there was a knock on the door.
Ergou's trembling voice came: "Chen Xian, there is ...... There's something, come out and see! ”
I hurriedly got up and rushed out of the door, only to see that Ergou was already paralyzed on the ground in fright, and he pointed to the water bowl I had placed on the ground not far away.
In the water bowl, it is as red as blood, and someone is making trouble!
I frowned and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Ergou shook his head and said, "I don't know, I was standing there in a daze just now, and suddenly I saw that the water in the bowl turned red, like blood, it's scary!" ”
I stepped forward and picked up the bowl and looked at it carefully, and I saw that on the edge of the bowl, there was a small child-sized black palm print.
A little ghost?
I stood up and looked around, and sure enough, under a large tree ten meters away, I found a small black head, which swooped down behind the tree.
Xu Shi saw that I didn't speak for a long time, and Ergou asked worriedly: "Chen Xian, the water in this bowl has turned red, does it mean that Brother Tiger is dead?" The water in the bowl is actually his blood? ”
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense." I reminded and turned to enter the room, looking at the few people in the hall who were already huddled together and shivering, and shook my head helplessly.
"How many of you are really messing with Wang Hu? Is it so small? ”
I went to the table, took out a dozen pieces of yellow paper, laid them out, and drew the simplest symbols on each of them.
This is a spell for ghosts, as the name suggests, it is to make ghosts manifest, even ordinary people who do not have yin and yang eyes can see it.
After the painting was finished, I handed over the talisman to a few people and said, "Later, when I go out, you burn these talismans, and sprinkle the talisman ashes at the door of the house, how far can people run, how far can people run, there is nothing to do with you here, you know?" ”
"Okay!" A few people nodded in response.
As soon as I went out, they sprang into action.
And this time, I plan to meet the troublemaker.
The second dog at the door saw me come out and asked me what to do next.
I leaned into his ear and whispered, "Your task is heavy, you have this thing." ”
I took out a copper coin from my pocket and handed it to him: "Later, you will stare at the door of Wang Hu's house." ”
"As long as you see Wang Hu appear, you will smash him with this copper coin...... Forget it, don't smash it, just press this copper coin on him, no matter what the method, remember, don't miss it, the chance to save your tiger brother is only this once! Did you hear that? ”
Seeing that I was serious, Ergou was a little stunned, and asked worriedly: "Then if I miss, Brother Hu will really die?" ”
I nodded, and Ergou hurriedly shook his head: "I can't do it, Chen Xian, come on, you are a master, I am not." ”
"Only you can do this, I have more important things to do, don't be presumptuous, you can!"
"Don't forget, you're the most manly of them all, don't let me down!" I patted Ergou's arm, and regardless of whether he agreed or not, I walked straight in the direction of the little ghost.
By the time I got behind the tree, the imp had already slipped under the wall of the house on the other side.
I pretended not to know, and said to myself, "What about people? Where did you go? See if I don't catch you! ”
As I spoke, I walked towards the base of the wall, and the imp immediately shifted his position.
The two of us just chased one and hid, like playing peek-a-boo.
But I could see the little ghost every time he was hiding, and I deliberately pretended not to know, and every time I pretended to almost catch him.
After playing with him for about four or five minutes, I suddenly picked up my pace and grabbed him.
It was a little boy with tattered clothes and a runny nose.
After I caught him, the little boy was very happy, apparently having already let his guard down and treating me as a big brother who played games with him.
"Brother, you caught me, now you hide, I'll arrest you!" He said with a smile.
I nodded and said, "Okay!" Little brother, my brother can play with you, but before playing, can you answer my brother a question? ”
"yes, okay." He's quite sensible.
"Who brought you here to play hide and seek with your brother?" I asked.
"It's an old man." The little boy replied.
I took out my phone, opened the cloud album, flipped out a photo of me and Uncle Li, and asked him.
"Is this old man?"
The little boy looked closely, shook his head, and said, "No." ”
I suddenly wondered, if it wasn't Uncle Li, who could it be?
Before I could continue, the little boy had already taken my arm and coquettishly asked me to play hide and seek with him.
I nodded yes, and the boy turned to face the wall and began the countdown.
I casually found a place where I could see the door of Wang Hu's house and squatted.
Coincidentally, as soon as I squatted down here, a wisp of Wang Hu's soul was illuminated by the talisman ash sprinkled on the ground.
Squatting on the side, Ergou was startled at first, and then, he riveted his strength, holding the copper coin in his hand, and the whole person pounced on Wang Hu's soul, pressed the copper coin on his head, and shouted excitedly to my side.
"I've got him! I got him! ”
At the same time, the countdown for the little boy ends.
He followed the voice, swept it at a glance, and saw me.
The little boy ran up to me, grabbed the corner of my coat and said with a smile.
"Brother, I found you, you lost, you have to accept the punishment!"
My attention will be on Wang Hu's soul, how can I take care of him.
The little boy then said, "Brother, I am hungry, I want to eat meat, I will punish you, let me eat a bite of your meat!" ”
As he spoke, he took a bite out of my arm.
I am the living dead, and he bites my flesh as the living eat the flesh of the dead.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the mouth, the little boy snorted three times in a row, saying that my meat was not tasty.
I glared at him, raised my hand to flip him to the ground, and scolded.
"I didn't punish you if you lost, and you dare to punish me if I lost?"
"Smallarm cub, gave you face, didn't you?"
