Chapter 13: Witch Hao pretends to be a ghost
That day, Witch Hao came to my house before five o'clock, saying that she could not cast a spell until it was dark, and asked me to invite her to eat a full meal before she had the strength to do so.
When it got dark, under the guidance of Witch Hao, I respectfully installed incense and candles in front of the altar, prayed, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
Witch Hao entered the room and looked at Wang Jinfa, who was sick in bed, and asked him how he felt recently, returned to the hall, lit incense and candles, faced the shrine, folded his hands, and chanted the words: "The sky is round and the place is round, the law is nine chapters, I will write ...... today."
Witch Hao was barefoot, with her eyes closed, bouncing around on the ground, and then she started to help: she placed a wooden T-frame on the sand table, and two people supported each end to ask God according to the law.
I did as Witch Hao had commanded, and knelt on the ground and watched the situation unfold in silence.
Witch Hao recited the words in her mouth: "Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, Taishang Laojun is about to show the spirit......" while writing back and forth on the sand table with the drooping wooden branches of the wooden frame, that is, the pen.
After a while, Witch Hao finished her surrender, stretched her arms straight up, and shouted, "I'm back to the Yang Realm." ”
I got up from the ground and looked down at the sand table, where the words "Wild Breath and Cold" were written.
I was horrified and asked Witch Hao, "What's going on?" ”
Witch Hao said, "On the hill opposite your house, there are a few wild ghosts who lack clothes and blankets, and suffer from the cold. ”
I asked inexplicably, "What does it matter to me that wild ghosts are cold?" ”
Witch Hao asked me, "If it were you, what would you do if you were cold outside the house?" ”
Without thinking, I said, "Of course I want to go into the house to escape the cold." ”
Witch Hao said with a gloomy face: "That's the reason, those wild ghosts are going to go into the house to avoid the cold and attach themselves to your son's body." ”
As soon as I heard that my son's illness was possessed by wild breath, I was so frightened that I asked Witch Hao in a trembling voice, "Have you made a mistake?" ”
Witch Hao said very seriously, "How could I be mistaken? You also saw the words on the sand table, right? Fortunately, you asked me to come in time, otherwise, in ten days, your son would have been dragged by the wild men to the bridge of the Nai River and into the city of the dead. And ......"
I couldn't wait to ask, "What else?" ”
Witch Hao said to me, "When your son dies, the beasts will not stop there, they will be transferred to your old man's body, and you will ...... then."
As soon as I heard this, I was so frightened that my hands and feet were trembling, and I pressed the table hard to prevent me from collapsing to the ground, and asked tremblingly, "What...... So what should I do? ”
Witch Hao groaned for a moment, stretched out two fingers and said, "As long as you do two things." It depends on whether you are sincere in saving your son. ”
I said to her, "In order to save my son, don't say two points, even twenty points I will." ”
Witch Hao said, "First point, add ten buckets of rice to the gods to exorcise ghosts." ”
I nodded again and again and said, "Okay, together with the cost of inviting you this time, a total of twenty buckets of rice, and I will ask my family to send it back with you later." What about the second point? ”
Witch Hao stretched out a second finger: "The second point is that you have to find a way to make sure that cold beast has clothes to wear and a quilt to cover. ”
I asked, "I can't see a wild ghost, so how can I let a wild ghost have clothes to wear and a quilt to cover?" ”
Witch Hao said, "As long as you buy back the silk and cover the mountains over there, those wild ghosts will have clothes to wear and a sheet to cover, and they will no longer be cold and cold, that is, the wild ghosts will no longer come to pester your precious son." ”
When I heard that I could make the wild ghosts stop haunting my son, I said without thinking, "Okay! Yes. Do as you are told. ”
Witch Hao stretched out her hand and pointed to the altar and said to me, "Your promise to me is useless. You should kneel before God and make a vow. ”
I was anxious to save my son, and according to Witch Hao's instructions, I knelt in front of the altar, knocked my head three more times, and made a vow loudly: "If my precious son can be cured of his stubborn illness and get out of the sea of suffering, I promise to buy back silk and silk, and cover the mountains over there, so that the wild people will no longer be cold and cold." May the gods bless, may the gods bless! ”
Witch Hao said with a gloomy face: "The wish made in front of the gods is not a child's play, it must be fulfilled. ”
I swore by it, "Of course! Of course! If I break my promise, I will be struck by thunder! ”
Witch Hao closed her eyes and muttered a mantra while dancing at me, saying that she had just asked the Twenty-Eight Nights of the Heavenly God to drive away the little ghosts for my house. From tonight onwards, my son's illness will soon get better.
I thanked her repeatedly.
……
In the middle of the night, Wang Jinfa still spoke loudly in his dreams, screaming that there were ghosts, which made him upset and unable to sleep.
A few days passed, and Wang Jinfa's condition not only did not improve, but became worse and worse.
Facing the reality, Village Chief Wang realized that he had been deceived.
Later, Village Chief Wang met Le Jingfu in the mountains.
Le Jingfu saw that the usually red-faced and radiant Wang Village Chief had a haggard face, so he asked him about his recent situation with concern.
Village Chief Wang told Le Jingfu about his family affairs.
As Village Chief Wang spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears, choked up and said, "I, Wang Yutian, don't know what immoral things I did in my previous life, and I suffered this retribution. The five generations of my Wang family only have the only single seedling of blonde hair, and it will depend on him to inherit the industry and reproduce in the future. Alas, I didn't expect him to be sick and sick now. I am dying, and the cycle of life and death is a natural law, and no one can resist it. But the worst thing in life is that a white-haired person sends a black-haired person. Seeing my son's condition deteriorating day by day but not being able to treat him, this really made me hurt my liver and intestines! ”
After hearing this, Le Jingfu expressed deep sympathy, and took him to Zhang Shaofei to think of a way.
After listening to Village Chief Wang's story, Zhang Shaofei said to Le Jingfu: "So, you made a special trip to bring Village Chief Wang to me?" ”
Le Jingfu nodded and said, "Ah Fei, you have a good way of curing my sister-in-law's illness, so I think you may have a way to help this desperate person." ”
Village Chief Wang pleaded: "Ah Fei, I sincerely beg you, a little miracle doctor, to heal my son." ”
Le Jingfu also interceded with Village Chief Wang on the side: "Ah Fei, everyone is from Tianlu Mountain, you can try to help Village Chief Wang." ”
"Uncle Jingfu, I'm not Langzhong, I treat my sister-in-law, but it's based on the few flavors of mountain herbs I usually learn. How dare I heal others casually? Zhang Shaofei told the truth.
Village Chief Wang pleaded again and again: "My son has been suffering from this disease for so long, and I have tried to find famous doctors to treat him, but to no avail." Ah Fei, you might as well give it a try, if you can heal my son, I will reward you heavily. If my son has any strengths and weaknesses, I will never blame you. ”
Zhang Shaofei was still hesitating: "This ......"
"Ah Fei, when you can help people, you have to help people. You haven't been here for long, but I know that you have the pleasure of helping others, even risking your life. I beg you to do your best to help Village Chief Wang. "Le Jingfu is sincere.
Village Chief Wang was anxious, took Zhang Shaofei's hand and shook it a few times: "Yes, if you can cure my precious son, I will give you ten acres of fertile land and a hundred acres of mountains and forests." Even if I take my old life, I will not give up. ”
Zhang Shaofei said seriously: "Village Chief Wang, there is a way, saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter." If I can really get your precious son out of the entanglement of illness and get back to a strong body, it will be considered a great merit. I don't need any reward, I won't want any of your fields or your forests. ”
Le Zhihua was listening, and also begged Zhang Shaofei: "Brother Fei, since Village Chief Wang has come to beg you, you might as well do your best to go and give it a try, maybe there will be a miracle!" ”
Le Jingfu looked at Le Zhihua and said, "The eldest sister is a good person with a kind heart. ”
Village Chief Wang looked at Le Zhihua gratefully and said, "Your Miss Le Ren has a bodhisattva compassion, and if you accumulate such virtue, you will definitely be able to marry a wishful husband in the future." Here, I thank the eldest lady on behalf of my son. ”
Le Zhihua listened to Village Chief Wang's words, and his face was flushed with shyness.
Zhang Shaofei glanced at her secretly, quickly shifted his gaze, stared into the distance, and responded to Village Chief Wang's request: "Okay, Village Chief Wang, I'll go with you." ”
Village Chief Wang's sad face showed a long-lost smile: "Thank you...... Thank you so much! After that, he bent down to Le Zhihua and made a gesture.
Le Zhihua waved his hand: "Village Chief Wang, you are too polite." ”
"Village Chief Wang, now I'll go to your house and do it." Zhang Shaofei finally agreed.
Village Chief Wang said happily: "That's really good, I'll lead the way in front." ”
Zhang Shaofei took down the back of the bamboo basket hanging in the corner of the wall, and followed Village Chief Wang and Le Jingfu out of the door.
