Chapter 65: Crossing the Wild Ghost Village
Bao Furong saw that he had no pity at all, so he stood up with his body bold, limped and walked very hard, and said, I can cross Jinji Ridge, can you protect me from letting the vulture bite me and the rooster pecking me?
Fuck, you're still haggling. The hook with the leather whip shook the leather whip in the air and crackled, as if he was telling him that this is not the yang world, but the underworld.
Bao Furong shuddered for a while, and insisted on saying, "Two Divine Monarchs, if I have money for you, can you protect me from being injured when I cross Jinji Ridge?"
Your money is in the sun, and no matter how much you have, it will be white. After the other hook said that, he laughed.
Don't laugh. Bao Furong stroked the broken leg with her hand and said, if you let my soul go back to my hometown in Rainforest Town, I will entrust my dream to my mother and ask her to burn some money paper for you, how much do you each want?
Both hookers were stunned. The hook with the whip spoke, that can't work, you have a broken leg, when will you be able to return to your hometown in the yang world when you can walk with only one leg? This will delay the journey, and we will escort the souls of the dead to the underworld, and if it is delayed, we will be held responsible, which will not work.
Can this be? Bao Furong's gaze swept between the other hook and the hook with the whip, and said tentatively, you two send one to my hometown, dream to my mother, as long as you say my name, my mother will believe it, how much do you want, just tell my mother, my mother will burn money paper for you.
This is a viable approach. The hook with the whip said, I will go to your hometown and dream of your mother, if your mother does not listen to you, we will tear up the ticket. Then he said to another envoy, "You will stay here and watch her until I come back." When the whip had finished speaking, he turned into a gust of wind and spun away.
That night, Bao's father and mother had the same dream in the tiled house of Bao Furong's house in the 13th group of Crescent Village, Yulin Town, Bao's father had a dream in the first half of the night, only to see a strange man wearing a soap coat and holding a leather whip with bulging eyes standing in front of him and saying, I am here to ask for money for Bao Furong, her dead spirit has now been escorted to the foot of Jinji Ridge, and if she wants to cross the ridge, she must pay money, otherwise she will suffer.
Father Bao said in his dream that people die like lights out, what else can they suffer and not suffer?
In the second half of the night, Bao Mu also dreamed of this strange person and said the same thing. Bao's mother took pity on her daughter's suffering in the yang world, and wished her happiness in the underworld. As soon as he heard that she was still in trouble in the underworld, he immediately asked the strange man how much he would have to pay to save my daughter from suffering.
As long as you turn into two hundred money, of course, the more the better. The strange man shook the leather whip in his hand, and emphasized, do not delay, the time limit is one day, if the time is missed, your daughter will suffer.
Bao's father and mother woke up in the early morning and didn't talk about it, they were all taboo, afraid that if they said it, the day would not go well.
But at noon, everything was spoken, and Bao's father still didn't believe it, saying that if his daughter asked for money, she should dream of me by herself, and she shouldn't be a weird person with bulging eyes who appeared in her dreams.
Bao's mother said that she believed that her daughter must be suffering in the underworld again, and she was going to immediately go to the paper shop in the town to buy the money for her daughter to burn, but Bao's father stopped her and said that even if you want to burn your daughter, you have to wait until the first seven are full and then burn.
Didn't the weirdo in the dream say that if you set a limit for one day, you will have to suffer if you postpone your daughter?
Bao's mother insisted on her opinion, rushed to the town and bought 300 dead money, and in the evening climbed the back mountain to burn her daughter's grave, and said while burning, daughter, I burned an extra 100 dead money, I hope you can enjoy more yin blessings in the underworld.
The hook with the whip made three hundred dollars return happily. When he arrived at Jinjiling, he gave half of it to the envoy who escorted Bao Furong, so naturally he did not break his promise. When crossing the Jinji Ridge, the vulture and the rooster were about to scratch and peck at the flesh of Bao Furong's body, but they were unable to get close to him by two hooks, so they successfully crossed the Jinji Ridge.
After walking for a while, I saw a village in the distance, where colorful flags fluttered and the crowd sang and danced, as if some grand event was being held, and it was very lively.
Bao Furong, who was escorted, was in the mood to watch, she just wanted to hurry over. But when I got close to the village, I saw a stele marked with the words "Wild Ghost Village".
The hook with the leather whip told Bao Furong that this seemingly enthusiastic scene was all from the evil dog ridge and Jinji Ridge, and the souls who were missing arms and legs were transformed, confusing those healthy souls who passed by here, and taking advantage of their unpreparedness, they tore off their intact elbows or something and put them on their bodies, so that they could become sound souls, so that they could go to the underworld.
Hearing this, Bao Furong was shocked, and asked the two hookers, saying that I had broken a left leg and was a disabled soul, and I didn't want to offend other healthy souls who passed here, that is, if I didn't try to grab the limbs of the sound souls and put them on my mutilated parts, would those disabled souls let me go?
How could I let you go? Although you have broken one of your left legs, your right leg, as well as your hands, eyes, ears, nose and nose are all good, and they will grasp whatever they lack. The hook who grabbed the chain that tied Bao Furong was alarmist.
Bao Furong didn't dare to go, knelt down on one knee again, and said to the two envoys, one in front and one behind, two gods, it's miserable enough that I am missing a left leg, if I am unfortunately killed and lose a right leg, I will not be able to walk, please protect me again.
Do you know? To pass the customs smoothly, you must pay three catties and six taels to buy the road. The envoy with the whip said, "If you don't have the money to pay, you won't be able to escape this fate."
If you didn't say it earlier, if you said it earlier, I would let you ask her to burn an extra three catties and six taels of paper money when you dreamed of my mother? But now if I dream again, my mother may not believe it. Bao Furong looked at the whip with a dejected expression, and said playfully, If you don't agree to protect me and walk through the wild ghost village, I won't get up.
You get up, get up, we will protect you, I dream of your mother this time, as long as she burns two hundred dead money for us, but she burns three hundred dead money, a whole hundred more, we each get fifty more, now the two of us each take out one pound and eight taels to buy road money, just enough to make up three catties and six taels, we each have more. Don't worry, don't think that we are bad and have no conscience, we will protect you. The hook with the whip smiled.
Bao Furong kowtowed to them a few times, then stood up and limped towards the wild ghost village.
What Bao Furong didn't expect was that when the ghosts singing and dancing in the Wild Ghost Village suddenly appeared in their original form and besieged her with green faces and fangs, the envoy with the leather whip shook the leather whip, and they fell to the ground one after another.
The hook who escorted Bao Furong took the opportunity to reach out and grab the left leg of a wild ghost who fell to the ground, stepped on his body again, and tore it hard, and it was torn off, he took the left leg and immediately attached it to Bao Furong's broken left leg, shouted, run.
Bao Furong felt that her limbs were immediately sound, so she spread her legs, and quickly escaped from the wild ghost village under the protection of the two hooks, and the heart-rending cry of the wild ghost in her ears was faintly gone.
At this moment, she said to the two envoys gratefully, thank you to the two gods for helping me escape from the Wild Ghost Village, and for allowing my broken leg to recover.
The hook with the leather whip laughed, patted Bao Furong's shoulder, Xiaobao, don't thank us, thank your mother if you want to thank you, your mother will give you an extra hundred paper money, and we will each get fifty, and if we get the money, we will naturally help with things.
Bao Furong thought to herself: This is really rich enough to make ghosts grind. said sweetly, of course my mother should be grateful, and even more grateful to the two of you for getting a little money and admitting it, if you don't admit it, I'll be finished.
Okay, stop, hurry up. The envoy who escorted Bao Furong urged.
