Chapter 81. Angry children
Zhang Heping is a child after all, although the gossip mirror is not a toy, but when he heard me say this, he still reached out and took it. I said to him, that recessed place is a magical mirror, which can reflect your appearance differently than ordinary mirrors.
After saying this, I watched his movements closely, and just as he was facing himself in the mirror, this child, who had been quiet, suddenly let go of his hands like a frightened person, and the gossip mirror fell onto the stool. Then all of a sudden, he became furious, got up all at once, and threw himself at me. Although I had already prepared, I didn't expect him to pounce so quickly, so I could only take two steps back with the length of my hand, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhang Heping's armpit and hugged him.
Children who are more than 8 years old are no longer light. Pick him up just to get his feet off the ground, and without a point of strength, he can't move further. But even so, his hands kept tugging at my arms, and his feet began to kick wildly, and his mouth snapped in waves, as if he wanted to eat me.
Captain Li and the child's mother outside the door heard the movement and rushed in. And the child's father seemed to think that I was going to hurt the child, so he snatched Zhang Heping from my hand at once, held him with one hand through his armpit, and pushed me hard with the other hand, shouting while pushing, what are you doing!
This is called, guess the beginning, guess the end. The child's father was strong and strong, and I was unprepared for his push, so I sat down on the ground. I saw that he seemed to want to continue to rush up and beat me, so I hurriedly said, big brother, don't get me wrong, I'm helping your child!
Before I finished my words, Zhang Heping, who was being held, suddenly took a hard bite and bit on his father's hand holding him. After the child's father was bitten, he let go of his hand, so Zhang Heping jumped to the ground and pounced on me again like crazy. This time I couldn't dodge, although the child's hands and feet are fast, but hitting and kicking people will not hurt particularly after all, I am afraid that he will bite me, so I saw him fall on me, want to bite my face, I suddenly put my palms together, grabbed Zhang Heping's left and right cheeks, and lifted his head up so that he could neither bite my face nor bite my hand.
During the fight, I only heard the screams of the child's mother, and in a trance, I saw that the child's father seemed to want to rush over to clean me up. I shouted: You kids have been caught up in something else! Hurry up and find a towel to tighten his mouth!!
I shouted very loudly, which can be regarded as self-help, because if the child's father comes to beat me again, I will probably be bitten by Zhang Heping's madness. Fortunately, after hearing my shouting, Captain Li immediately stopped the child's father, and the child's mother quickly ran to another room and found a pillow towel on it. I asked her to twist the pillow towel into a hemp rope shape and put it on the child's mouth that wanted to bite me.
It took a while to clean up before the child's mouth was gagged. Although the other party is a child, the stalemate for so long has made my hands very sore. I don't know if it's my delusion, but when I was holding Zhang Ping's face just now, from his fierce gaze, I seemed to see something strange, which looked a little different from the eyes of normal people, as if it was rather loose. But because of the panic at the time, when I remembered it again, I didn't know if it really happened.
After the child's mother covered her mouth with a pillowcloth, she made a circle around and tied a knot at the back of her head. At this time, the child's father also calmed down a little, so together with Captain Li, each took the child's hand and dragged the child a little farther away from me.
My hands were so sore that I had just let go of myself. I slowly got up and said to Captain Li that I might have to find a rope to tie the child to the stool. The child's father still didn't give up on me, so I said to him, I didn't care about you just now, if you do anything to me again, I will clean you up.
I said this coldly, but in fact, it was a bit of a bluff. After all, even if his father prevents me from saving his own child, I have to save it. Because the child's situation is really not optimistic.
The reason why I gave him the gossip mirror just now and lured him to illuminate himself himself. In fact, in ancient times, the gossip mirror was used as a demon mirror. Different from ordinary mirrors, the mirror surface of the Bagua mirror is a concave part of a spherical surface, but it is very widely polished. Coupled with the blessing of the power of the surrounding circle of gossip, the concave part forms a concentrating effect. This kind of blessed concentrating light is particularly versatile, not only can it be used to bless and enlighten items, but also can be used to make demons and monsters recognize themselves, so as to be active.
It seems that my speculation is not false, this peace body is not his own soul at the moment, at least not only his own soul. The attack on me just now was precisely because of this thing that occupied his body, and he saw his true appearance in the mirror, just like every day many people come to praise you for your good looks, how beautiful you are, but suddenly you meet me one day, and I tell you, you are actually very ugly. Such a contrast will make anything, whether it is a person or a ghost, unbearable.
I patted the dust on my body, and at this moment Captain Li had already tied Zhang Heping to the stool as I instructed, and I told them that they could take off the pillow towel in Zhang Heping's mouth now, but be careful not to be bitten.
Zhang Heping was tied to the stool and couldn't move, but his eyes were still looking at me fiercely, it was a feeling of extreme hatred, because his nose and eyebrows were squeezed into the middle of each other because of anger, and folds formed on the bridge of his nose. I feel a little inexplicable in my heart, whether this guy is a human or a ghost, today is the first time I have met, you say that you don't have a good impression of each other, forget it, what is it to hate me so much. But it soon occurred to me that maybe it was because of that gossip mirror that something inside him knew what I was here for, and in this way, it regarded me as an enemy.
I called Captain Lee and the child's mother out the door and closed the door. Because I feel that it might be better for Zhang Heping not to see me at the moment. The child's mother was whimpering and crying, and she seemed to blame me a little. It feels like saying that when you didn't come, the child was just indifferent, and nothing else, but when you came, the child suddenly went crazy. I didn't bother to explain so much to her, so I interrupted her complaint and said, I don't know where the child disappeared from the day he disappeared, but you should know where he was found.
She nodded, and I said that while it was only noon, take me to see it, I need to find some clues to know what caused your child's current ghostly appearance, so that I can save him. The child's mother was still crying, so I told her, you think it out for yourself, this is your child. I'm here for Captain Li's sake, and since I know it, I can't help it. It seems that the soul in your son's body is definitely not his own at present, but I have to go to the bamboo forest to look for it, if his soul is neither in the bamboo forest nor in the body, then I am really incompetent, and you can only prepare for the aftermath as soon as possible.
I'm not trying to scare her, but I'm telling the truth. Even if I use brute force to destroy the things in Zhang Heping's body at this moment, the child's body is still an empty shell, and the physiological functions will slowly shrink and become disordered, and death will be a matter of time.
So the child's mother planned to take me to the bamboo forest, and before leaving, she specially told the child's father that he must take good care of the child and don't let go. In order to let us go faster, Captain Li also took advantage of his position to go to the production team in the village and borrowed the only "Dongfanghong tractor" in the village. With Captain Li as the driver and the child's mother as the navigator, we drove towards the bamboo forest ten miles to the north under the sudden sound of the tractor and the strange eyes of the villagers.
The invention of mechanical tools can indeed improve the efficiency of work, which makes me secretly set a goal at the moment, I will definitely build such a tractor in the future, so that I can save time on the way to work. Tractors can only drive to the foot of the bamboo forest slope, which is in the middle of the hill. It is said to be a small mountain, but it is densely packed with a whole area. If you want to find someone in this forest, you really can't find it without some shit luck. Fortunately, the child's mother was a person who came to the scene that day, and she was able to remember the child's place more accurately.
After walking into the bamboo forest, I walked for more than ten minutes, and as the bamboo became dense, the surrounding environment became darker and darker. Bamboo in the south is evergreen all year round, and there are many wild ones. People in the mountains have the habit of digging bamboo shoots, and many people come to dig bamboo shoots every spring. The child's mother led me to a relatively dense forest, and then looked around, and finally said to me a few bamboos as thick as an arm, this is it, and the child was curled up in this pile of bamboos.
I took a closer look at this place, in fact, there was a distance of about a foot wide between the bamboo, which meant that if it weren't for Zhang Heping's constant adjustment of the angle of his body, he would not have been able to get in. That proves that he came here by himself and fell asleep.
This shows that no matter what controls Zhang Heping's body, whether it is the ghost in the body or his own soul, at this moment, I will definitely be able to find traces if I light the incense of soldiers and horses!
