Volume 1 The Change of the Northeast Xianmen Chapter 2 Are you looking for me?
Both Yixue and Taoism pay attention to the division of yin and yang in the world. In numerology, my eight characters are pure yin eight characters, and they belong to a type of person who is born to attract ghosts. In addition to the pure yin eight characters, there are also pure yang eight characters, all yin and all yang false yin false yang eight characters and so on. But there are fewer people who want pure yin characters, and they are even sneaky.
When I was little, something unexplainable had always happened to me. As for the ghost pressing the bed, knocking on the door in the middle of the night, and hearing whispers at night, there are quite a lot of such things, so I won't describe them one by one. But there are a few things I remember very well.
This happened when I was eight or nine years old.
It stands to reason that children remember things when they are five or six years old, but I only vaguely remember what happened after I was seven years old. I was about eight or nine years old at the time, and I was already in elementary school. There is a primary school in the village next to us, and children from nearby villages go to that primary school.
It is not close or far from our village to the primary school, it is about a 10-minute walk, because it is not far, and my parents can rest assured that they can go to work, so we all walk to school by ourselves. And my cousin and I are in the same grade and class, so the two of us often walk together. At that age, they were very playful, and they would play on the road for a while before going home after school, especially the two little boys, who played even more wildly, and forgot the time to go home while playing.
It happened to be my turn to be on duty after school that day, and my cousin was very playful and ran home first. I was cleaning the classroom with two other classmates, and it was already getting dark by the time I finished cleaning. I didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that I was finally done cleaning and could go home to play, so I said goodbye to the two classmates and went home by myself.
There are two roads to the school in our village, one is a road and the other is a path. The path is not actually a road, because it is a path like a ditch in the crop field, and then you can go to another path to reach our village. And we usually take the small road home, because the small road is very close, and we can also play around without fear of having a car.
It was already autumn and it was getting dark, and the ground was planted with corn that was almost ripe. I walked alone on the corn-filled path, and I was naturally very scared. The corn was straw more than a man high, and I was eight or nine years old, and I walked in it like a little mouse had broken into a beer crate. Normally, I don't feel much when I go back to fighting with my cousin and the two of us, but I feel very scared when I walk this road in the evening.
Children are inherently cranky. I walked cautiously, on the lookout for a monster to pop up in the cornfield. At the same time, I looked at the corn stalks that were half as tall as me, and the branches of the corn stalks were like dry and terrifying hands. I was getting more and more panicked, more and more scared, and I even started to run. The trail was actually only ten minutes away, and I felt like I had walked for an hour. Just as I was about to go out, I heard someone talking in the field, but I couldn't really hear it.
Most of the fear in my heart disappeared at once, and I was not afraid of people in my village if there were people in my village (the land near the path was planted by people in our village). I was suddenly not scared, so I shouted and asked, "Who is it?" No one paid any attention to me, but I could still hear someone talking. I listened closely, and it sounded like it was in the cornfield in the right rear.
I suddenly reacted, that was the land of my second grandmother's house! I was suddenly not afraid, and I didn't know what I was thinking at the time, so I went in and walked over there, and I thought that my second grandmother was here, and she could send me home. After getting in, I didn't feel anything at first, I just felt that the corn stalks and leaves were very scratchy, but as soon as I remembered that my second grandmother was in front, I gave myself more strength to continue walking.
As I walked, I noticed that the voice was always there, but I just couldn't hear what was being said, and I was obviously walking towards that place, but after walking for a few minutes, I still didn't see anyone. I began to be a little scared, because in the cornfield, I could not see anything, and I could only walk that way by sound. I shouted, "Second grandma!" Second grandma! Where are you? I hear your voice, why can't I see you! ”
Be quiet! There was no response! Not even that voice was gone! I panicked at the time, and I felt like a pair of dry and terrifying hands would reach out from the cornfield behind me and grab my neck in the next second!
I didn't dare to stay in the cornfield anymore, I just wanted to rush out of the cornfield and run home. But the more panicked I became, the more I couldn't find the right direction, I ran around like a headless fly, and I just couldn't find my way out! At that time, I was only eight or nine years old, and my tears came down, crying and shouting and running! I didn't even think I would be able to get out of it for the rest of my life.
It was already dark at the moment, and I was glad that I was still relatively young at the time, and I had not yet grown taller, and I could vaguely see the gap between the corn stalks, and I cried and ran in the gap below, but I couldn't get out. I tried to slap the cornstalks around me, afraid that they would turn into monsters and catch me, while trying to find my way out. It was at this moment that I saw the lights outside through the cracks! That's the lamp in our village! My crying voice was almost hoarse, and I couldn't make a sound, so I could only run in that direction.
After running for about a few minutes, I finally ran out of the cornfield and onto the path that led to our village. I ran towards the village, and I didn't have time to wipe my snot and tears from my face, so I thought I would go home to find my parents!
Suddenly I saw a man sitting on the ground on the left side of the path, and the place where he was sitting was bulging, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I ran quickly. Because our village is not big, we all know each other, and we must have been people I knew when we ran over.
Since it was dark, I couldn't tell who it was. I didn't see until I ran very close, isn't this my second grandmother?! I cried again, and I cried as I talked about what had just happened in the cornfield, and why I told her that she ignored me.
My second grandmother had no expression on her face, but when I was a little more emotionally stable, I noticed that she was looking at me with a smile. Then I saw her grinning, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and smiling, "Are you looking for me?" ”
I was a little stunned, not knowing why my second grandmother meant by that. I saw that her mouth was getting bigger and bigger, and the more she laughed, the corners of her mouth gradually began to crack! Her eyes began to bleed, and the wrinkled skin on her face made her even more terrifying! Her mouth was cracked to the base of her ears, and it didn't look like a human face at all! A blood-red tongue sticks out of his mouth, flying wildly in the air! Then she stretched out her dry hands that seemed to be severely dehydrated and deflated to grab me, I was already scared stupid, my legs seemed to be filled with lead and I couldn't lift at all, seeing her hands getting closer and closer to me, I reacted, "wow" and cried directly, and sat down on the ground with a butt slumped.
My "second grandmother" suddenly stood still at this time, I was so frightened that I was about to turn my back and breathe, and I didn't see it clearly, I only remember that the skin on her body seemed to be falling off layer by layer! And then the head just fell to the ground! And rolled to my feet!
The man's head grunted and rolled at my feet, and I saw only those bloody eyes open to the maximum, and two eyeballs bulging high and bulging at me as if they were bloodshot! Then the head suddenly let out a "hey, hey, hey" sinister laugh!
I couldn't bear the blow of fear anymore and passed out.
When I woke up, it was in my bed at home. My mother was wiping her tears with a sad face, and when she saw that I was awake, my mother wiped away her tears and her face was better. Then my mother quickly approached me, grabbed my hand, and said:
"You kid is worried about me, you said you didn't go home well after school, why did you run to the grave to sleep!"
Running to the grave to sleep? Am I not lost in a cornfield? Then I saw my "second grandmother"......
As soon as I thought about it, I saw a middle-aged woman walk in through the doorway, dressed like a rural woman, but I didn't know her.
The middle-aged woman nodded at my mother and said, "Okay sister, this little Eight Treasures Arhat (Lao Xian's name for unmarried men) is fine." The child was young and ignorant, and he collided with an old ghost in the village, and the old ghost was still his grandfather's generation according to his generation! ”
When my mother heard this, her face turned white directly, where had she ever experienced such a thing. But after a few seconds, my mother's face suddenly turned red, and she said viciously: "I don't care what kind of elder he is, if he dies, it's good to leave, why scare my children like this!" It's a good thing that you're here, if there's really something long... I'm going to have to dig his grave for him!" ”
The middle-aged woman hurriedly patted my mother and said, "Shhh Don't talk nonsense! ”
My mother probably realized something, but her face was still ugly, and then she took out a red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it to the middle-aged woman, and asked while stuffing it: "Sister Liu, is there really nothing wrong?" This kid has been weak since he was a child... I'm afraid something..."
The middle-aged woman who was called Sister Liu by my mother didn't look at the red envelope, so she put it in her bag and said, "It's nothing, you can rest assured!" The old ghost told my old fairy that your child had urinated next to his grave before, just to scare and scare him. Besides, if he really wants to harm your child, since my old immortal is in charge, it is impossible for him to harm him, don't worry. ”
When my mother heard Sister Liu say this, she stabilized her mind, and asked me what I wanted to eat, and she went to make it for me. I was still in the shadow of before, I didn't have the heart to eat, I shook my head, and just wanted to tell my mother that I was scared, then Sister Liu patted my mother and asked her to go and make me a bowl of noodles. My mother was also very convinced of Sister Liu, so she went out to give me the following.
The eldest sister Liu sat on the edge of the bed, looking very kind, she smiled and said to me, "Xiaoli, don't be afraid, it's all right." You can just call me Aunt Liu. Nothing you see is true, and don't tell your mom to make her worry anymore. Don't be afraid, there's an aunt here. ”
I don't know why, but I didn't feel scared at all when I saw her. And I didn't want my mom to be scared, so I nodded vigorously. Aunt Liu saw that I was in a stable mood, rubbed my head and told me that she lived in a nearby village and could go over to play when she had time, and then left a piece of yellow paper folded into a triangle and put it in my pocket and left.
Later, my mother told me that she had not been able to return home that night, and then my father and my uncle led the people around looking for me, and finally found me on a grave bag on the path. When I was found, I fell asleep on the grave bag with tears in my eyes.
After a while my mom made me noodles, and after a few bites, I felt very tired and went to bed.
In my sleep, I only remember that I was groggy, as if I had fallen into nothingness, and as if everything did not exist, I just slept here in a daze. I suddenly felt someone looking at me, and I snapped my eyes open and stared at the ceiling. I thought to myself: it's in my room, it's okay, it's okay, let's go back to sleep!
Then I closed my eyes again and began to sleep, but I felt groggy and half-asleep, that is, I felt that someone was secretly watching me.
"Meow!!"
Suddenly there was a terrible cat meow outside the window, which scared me to wake up again, and this time I didn't dare to sleep again, so I cowered and hid in the bed. People are always afraid of the unknown, and hiding in a place where they think they are safe will feel much more at ease. I put the quilt over my head and felt much safer to hide myself in the quilt. It wasn't until I felt as if it was okay outside, and there was no more movement, that I stuck my head out of the covers.
On the left hand side of my bed is the bedside table, next to the window, and on the right hand side is the wardrobe and door. After covering the quilt for a long time, although it was already autumn, I still felt very hot and my mouth was dry, so I wanted to reach for the teacup on the bedside table on the left to drink some tea to moisten my mouth.
That's at this time! I finally felt where the eyes were staring at me were! I stared blankly at the window, because at this moment there was a face on the window against my window, a pair of blood-red eyes looking straight at me, that face was purple and purple, as if someone was pinching the neck with his hand and deprived of oxygen!
This thing keeps staring at me from my window! Staring at me asleep... Staring at me sneaking my head out of the bed... Keep an eye on everything in me! I was stupid to think that nothing was going on!
"Ah!!!h Almost instantly, I screamed in horror! Then close your eyes tightly and hide under the covers! I can only pray to get out of my window quickly!
Smack. Smack. Smack.
I was hiding under the covers and heard footsteps starting to slowly approach! I was so frightened that I hid under the covers and didn't dare to make a sound, only covering my head and holding back my crying.
Card rub. The door was opened.
"Cheng Ke, are you okay, what's wrong?" It turned out that my mom heard my screams and came into my room.
When I heard my mother's voice, tears flowed out of the bed and I pointed to the window and said there was a face there!
My mother's face turned bad instantly, and now that I think about it, my mother must have been scared too. My mom called my dad over at the top of her voice, and then said to my dad, "Let's sleep with the child today, and let's go to Sister Liu tomorrow." ”
My dad is the backbone of the family, and since the family is rural, my dad has heard a lot of this kind of thing, so he nodded with an iron face and asked my mother to take me to their room. Later, after a while, my dad came back, then rubbed my head and said it's okay, go to sleep, don't be afraid.
In this way, I felt sleepiness hit me and fell asleep groggyly. A dreamless night.
The next morning, before I woke up, Aunt Liu came back again, she came over and touched my hand, touched the left side, touched the right side, and later I learned that this is called "putting the ghost vein". Then she pulled my mom over and whispered a few words, but I couldn't hear them because they were too far away. It's just that my mom kept frowning, and she seemed to be relieved.
After Aunt Liu finished speaking, she walked up to me and said to me, "Xiaoli, do you want to go to Aunt Liu's house to have fun?" Today I asked your mother to take a leave of absence from your school, take a day off, and go to Aunt Liu's house to have fun? ”
I have a good impression of Aunt Liu, and I always feel that this middle-aged woman makes others feel kind, and I don't have to go to school, so I nodded happily. Then my mother cleaned up and took me to her house with Aunt Liu.
In fact, Aunt Liu's house is not far away, and it is also in a nearby village. I heard that Aunt Liu has a big reputation over there, and there is a person in ten miles and eight towns who will go to her to solve everything. At that time, I didn't know what a "god woman" was, which was the so-called Izuma Immortal. I just think she knows a lot of things, and there are a lot of strange portraits and things in the house, and there are some pennants on the walls. After Aunt Liu came in, she put on a stick of incense, and then sat on the Taishi chair next to the offering table, and motioned for me and my mother to sit down.
Then my mom took me to the couch next to me. I originally thought that Aunt Liu was lying to me, but I saw a lot of fruits, sweets and biscuits on her family's big offering table. I was so young at the time that I couldn't be greedy, and my eyes were staring at the candy and cookies without blinking.
Seeing this, Aunt Liu smiled and took down a plate of biscuits from the offering table for me to eat. As soon as my mother wanted to refuse, Aunt Liu waved her hand, and my mother sat down again. During this period, I didn't pay attention to what my mother and Aunt Liu were saying, my eyes were just looking at the biscuits, and I was thinking about which one to eat the next biscuit while eating.
Suddenly, Aunt Liu sneezed very loudly, and then began to tremble in her mouth, and she was smoking a cigarette in her hand. Where have I seen this battle, first, I felt a little scared, and secondly, I was curious, so I stopped what I was doing, let go of those few small cookies, and looked at Aunt Liu. My mother was also staring at Aunt Liu nervously at the moment, and her hands kept grasping the edge of the sofa.
I saw Aunt Liu's closed eyes open, but she didn't open them, her eyebrows were wrinkled, and they were about to twist into a rope. Then Aunt Liu took a puff of cigarette, exhaled a big breath, opened her mouth and said: "The Pantou Weaver Girl (Lao Xian's honorific title for married women) sitting below, my little brother Ma has already informed me about your family's affairs, just say what you think!" ”
Aunt Liu's voice seemed to be a different person, a little sharp and harsh, and her face began to become a little sharp-mouthed, I became more and more curious, so I looked carefully.
My mother was a little nervous at this time and said, "Why can't my children sleep well lately, and they always see some messy things?"
Aunt Liu closed her eyes tightly, shook her head and said, "Your little doll is fine, someone is protecting him!" These are his own fate! It's not that I don't care about this little doll's business, if I take care of his affairs, then the things on his body are not easy to mess with! ”
My mother's face was about to cry when she heard this, thinking that the incense money given was not enough, so she quickly took out another 200 yuan from her pocket and pressed it under the incense burner, and just wanted to kneel, the "Aunt Liu" spoke again: "Pantou Weaver Girl, don't worry, this is not a problem of incense money!" You sit down first, and listen to the old fairy I'll tell you. ”
When I heard this, my mother sat down next to me again, and I didn't think much about it at the time, but I just thought it was strange.
It's strange to say, the cigarette in the hand of "Aunt Liu" has been smoked after two puffs, she shook her head and lit another cigarette for herself, and only spoke again after a while: "This little doll's fate is very deep, there are some things that can't be said, and he has nothing to do." But what I can tell you is that the old ghost came to him because of his physical problems, so he scared him. He was just frightened and unstable, and nothing serious. This little doll is still too small to bear, so I'll just help him deal with it. ”
My mother nodded like pounding garlic, and hurriedly asked "Aunt Liu" what to do.
At this time, "Aunt Liu" suddenly stood up and walked in my direction, but her eyes were still closed! She walked up to me, pinched several hands in her hand that I couldn't understand, and said something I couldn't understand, and then suddenly reached out and touched the center of my eyebrows and the back of my neck, and then pressed a hand on the top of my head and on both shoulders. Then she said to me, "Little doll, now go to the door and stand with your back to the house." ”
I looked confused, I didn't know what to do, my mother quickly poked my arm and said go and stand at the door! I walked to the door with a confused face, facing the courtyard and standing with my back to the house. As soon as I stood up, "Aunt Liu" slapped me on the back behind me, and then a sip of white wine sprayed on me.
???? I was stunned, what is this for? Then "Aunt Liu" slapped me twice and sprayed me twice, for a total of three times, before I was asked to go back to sitting. Later, I learned that she did this not only to help me get rid of my yin qi, but also to have other effects.
After she was done, she returned to sit on the Taishi chair, yawned and said, "This little doll will not go home in the future, so you can let him go to school in a farther place!" Also, if your family lacks a town house, I will ask my little brother Ma to set up a family fairy for you to protect your family's safety. ”
I didn't understand what was being said at the time, but I understood that I was going to transfer to another school, and I felt sad for no reason.
My mother wanted to say something, but Aunt Liu trembled and yawned again and said, "I heard what my old fairy said, you can rest assured." It's good for him to let this child go to a school farther away, and don't be reluctant to let him leave home. I'll just choose a good day to go to your house to set up a good day. ”
Then I transferred to a full-time elementary school in the city and only went home on weekends during the week. As for the matter of Libao Jiaxian later, because I have not been at home, I don't know about it. But I knew that there was a red cloth on the ceiling of my house, and later my dad told me that it was the fairy road, where the immortals of the Bao family lived.
After that, from the time I was eight or nine years old to the time I grew up, I saw some vague ghosts one after another, often had some nightmares, and heard some whispers, but I ignored them as dazzles or auditory hallucinations. Occasionally, if I recruit a ghost, I will go to Aunt Liu's house to show me and help me send me away. And during this time, I have always been very curious about these things, and I will go around to look up documents and materials about this and the ghosts, and learn some strange ways to deal with them.
It lasted until that year, when I saw ghosts again.
The rest of the story was the real beginning of my strange journey.
