The breeder coaxed the child gently: "Lele, haven't you been clamoring to eat barbecue?" Shall we give it a taste? ”

Smelling the fragrance, Lele slowly poked his head out of the breeder's arms.

It was a very cute little boy, about five or six years old, with big, dark eyes, and a little scurry, first looking at the barbecue on the table, and then at the people he didn't know sitting at the table.

His gaze stayed on the empty position, and he suddenly spoke: "Rat! ”

The groundhog spirit that had hidden its body was startled, and in order not to frighten the keeper's wife and children, it hid its body before they came in, and they should not be able to see themselves.

"What rats, don't talk nonsense," the keeper's wife took her son out of the breeder's arms, "Lele is good, we eat meat." ”

"Can you see that?" Xie Qin asked.

"Can the big brother see it too? But Mom and Dad said they couldn't see it, they couldn't see the kittens and dogs, and they couldn't see the brother in the water. ”

Lele's immature voice sounded, and Gu Mian shuddered: "Brother Xie, this kid shouldn't be born with yin and yang eyes, right?" ”

The natural yin and yang eyes can see ghosts.

Xie Qinci shook his head.

Lele broke free from his stunned mother, slipped out of the arms of the breeder's wife, and walked to the empty position: "I saw it, the cutie is here, I didn't lie." ”

Lele got closer and closer, and the hair on the marmot's whole body exploded into a hedgehog ball, its mana was already weak, and it was not controlled well at once, showing its shape.

Lele's mother was about to hug him when she saw a groundhog appear on the chair out of thin air and was startled.

The marmot spirit was more frightened than her, and unconsciously stepped back, and with a "bang", the rat and the chair fell to the ground together.

Lele's mother grabbed her son with one hand, and subconsciously scooped up the groundhog that fell to the ground with the other: "Doesn't it know mana?" Why are you less daring than me? ”

Chapter 97

Lele's mother was originally very scared, the goblins and monsters, for ordinary people, they were more terrible than curious, but when they saw the groundhog spirit being frightened and fell, Lele's mother suddenly felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.

is so timid, still a groundhog, I can't be afraid.

may be the instinct of being a mother, Lele's mother moved very fast, caught the marmot essence, barely let it not fall to the ground, and patted it by the way: "Did you fall?" ”

"No, no." The groundhog spirit was already stunned.

Except for Xie Qinci Fu Mingji and the people from the Long Group, the others all heard it speak, and their faces all changed drastically, and the middle-aged woman in front of her, although she was afraid, was worried about herself while being afraid......

The groundhog spirit had never felt such warmth.

The director of the zoo next to him lifted up his chair: "How could Lele see it just now?" ”

"Lele can see strange things," Lele's mother smiled bitterly, "It wasn't like this before, after an accidental fall into the water, he became like this." ”

"Seeing animals that we can't see, talking to the air, what worries us the most is that he always walks to the water's edge, saying that there is a brother in the water, and once we really couldn't resist him, we took him to the water's edge, and we didn't see anything."

"The old man in the family said that he was fascinated by the water ghost, and the water ghost wanted to find him as a stand-in, so that we could take good care of the child and not let him approach the water's edge."

Many things are credible or not, and they are related to the safety of children, and the breeder and his wife dare not ignore it.

"Master Xie, can you help my son see what his situation is." The breeder pleaded.

"His name is Lele, isn't he?" Xie Qinci spoke, "Speaking of which, I saw him once during the day today, and what attracted me at that time was that in addition to his own soul, there was also a soul. ”

"I've always wondered how another soul was attached to him and didn't affect his mind, but now I'm looking at it and finding that the soul in his body is related to him by blood, and they should be brothers."

The faces of the breeders and his wife changed slightly.

Xie Qinci continued: "Before Lele, did you still have a child? Moreover, the child was drowned. ”

“…… That's right," the keeper covered his face, "more than ten years ago, we had a son, when the eldest son was nine years old, he accidentally fell into the water while playing by the river, and he didn't get back, what was attached to Lele's body, is it his soul?" ”

"It's been ten years, is he still alive? If he has a grudge against us, he can rush at us, don't hurt Lele, Lele doesn't know anything, he is innocent! Lele's mother looked at her little son worriedly.

Hearing that he really has an older brother, Lele blinked: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, my brother won't hurt me, he saved me, it's just that he can't do without water, so I let him attach himself to me and come out to play." ”

Hearing her son's words, Lele's mother's face became even more anxious: "Master Xie, does it matter if Lele wants it?" ”

"You don't have to worry too much, at present, your eldest son's ghost has no intention of harming Lele, Lele is right, he is a drowned ghost and trapped in the water, there was a saying before, if the first child is drowned in the water, the child born after the family is also likely to be drowned in the water, as if it is a curse."

The breeder and his wife looked up in shock: "Master Xie, do you have a way to solve it?" ”

"Your son Lele had a catastrophe before, he should be on the water, although this catastrophe has not really been resolved, but it is already unharmed, it is his brother who protected him, otherwise the last time he fell into the water, he would follow in his brother's footsteps and sleep underwater."

Xie Qinci looked at Lele: "Lele, do you remember what happened when you fell into the water?" ”

Lele nodded timidly: "I still remember." ”

Even if it is a child, the things experienced at the moment of life and death will be remembered deeply.

"I didn't go to the water's edge before, but my parents' grandparents kept telling me not to go to the water's edge to play, it was dangerous."

But that day, he had no idea why he ran to the water's edge and why he fell headlong into the water.

No matter how shallow the water is, it is dangerous for a five or six-year-old child.

Lele struggled hard, but there seemed to be a force from the bottom of the water, dragging him down continuously, he couldn't swim, couldn't breathe underwater, he wanted to call his parents, opened his mouth and only ate a stomach of water.

His consciousness became more and more blurred, and when he was about to sink to the bottom, a soft force lifted him up and slowly sent him to the surface.

At this time, the breeder and his wife, who heard the news, rushed to save the people.

"I saw an older brother who was a few years older than me underwater, he had a very white face, he was the one who sent me out of the water, and he told me not to go near the water's edge."

"I asked him who he was, and he told me that he was my brother, and he said that he missed his mom and dad very much."

Children are always novel and bold, Lele didn't think there was anything wrong with the children who appeared in the water, and innocently asked: "Brother, if you miss your parents, why don't you go to see them?" ”

"I can't leave the river, but I'm glad I found it in time today, or ......," the boy paused, "anyway, don't go near the water's edge in the future." ”

"That's what my father and mother told me, brother, why do you live underwater?"

"It's a secret, you'll know when you grow up."

"Can I come and play with you in the future?" Lele didn't know this strange brother, but he had an instinctive closeness to him.

"Don't come to me."

Lele didn't listen, and after being sent to the hospital by his anxious parents, he slipped out of the ward and came to the small pond of the hospital.

Years ago, the shadow of the death of their first child loomed again, and they feared that Lele would die like his brother.

"We found the master, asked God to worship the Buddha, I only hope that God will bless us and not take away our second child, but as time goes by, Lele's behavior has become more and more strange, and recently it has reached the point of being unstoppable, Master Xie, you say, that child's soul is attached to him, can we meet him?"

To the first child, they are indebted, the deceased is gone, and it is too late to say more.

"It can't appear, if you want to see it, you can only go to the river where it fell into the water, it died in the water, and its soul was also trapped there, relying on blood relations to barely possess Lele, and I didn't want to hurt him, the consequence is that my soul is getting weaker and weaker."

"If you don't meet me, after a while, Lele will return to normal."

"Why did Master Xie say that?"

"Because the child's soul is already very weak, it forcibly leaves the bottom of the water, and does not find a substitute for itself, and the soul will become weaker and weaker until it disappears."

Why are water ghosts keen to find stand-ins? It is because they have to leave the water that caused their death and trapped their souls, and someone must be trapped here in their place, otherwise they will not be able to leave the waters of their death.

"Master Xie, is there no other way? Can you help our eldest son? "I heard that the soul of the eldest son has been trapped in the water all these years, and Lele's mother cried silently.

"Was he in the water all the time? Is he waiting for us to see him? The more Lele's mother thought about it, the more sad she became, "But in order not to touch the scene, we never get close there, that child, do you look at the river every day to see if we have passed?" ”

As long as she thought of this picture, Lele's mother was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.

It was her first child, from ten months of pregnancy to ten years old, every day of the changes clearly appeared in front of them, before, they did not dare to let themselves think about it, knowing that after ten years of trapped soul of their eldest son, they could no longer control themselves.

"Is the river any closer?" Xie Qinci glanced at the time, if it wasn't very far, he could still rush over and solve this matter now.

"The river is in our hometown, about three hours away by car."

Three hours, just the right time to arrive.

By the time they reached their destination, it was completely dark.

There was a crescent moon hanging in the sky, and the keeper drove the car directly to the river, and after getting out of the car, he said: "This is the river." ”

The river has no wind and rolls up a layer of waves, like someone in the river, welcoming their arrival.

Lele's mother hugged Lele out of the car, and Lele broke free from her mother's arms and ran to the river.

Lele's mother subconsciously wanted to stop it.

"Don't stop, the soul on his body can only show his body when it reaches the river." Xie Qin spoke.

Lele's mother slowly withdrew her hand and took two steps forward uneasily.

Lele ran to the water's edge, and when he was about to fall into the river, a wave rushed and pushed him to the shore for some distance.

"Brother!" Lele shouted into the river.

The waves hung high, and in mid-air, a phantom image was condensed.

"Little photo!" Lele's mother blurted out.

The transparent figure in mid-air was a nine- or ten-year-old boy, dressed in outdated children's clothes, looking at his parents on the shore from afar, separated by the distance of life and death, and his lips moved.

"It's Mom, Xiaozhao," Lele's mother couldn't care about anything else, and strode to the water's edge, "I'm sorry, Xiaozhao, I haven't come to see you for so many years, I'm sorry, it's my mother's dereliction of duty that failed to protect you......"

The breeder walked over with red eyes, put his arm around his wife's shoulder, and said in a choked tone: "Your mother and I don't know, I don't know that you are waiting for us here." ”

If they knew, they wouldn't have gone unseen once in ten years.

"Daddy, Mommy."

After ten years, they heard the voice of their eldest son again, and although they were separated by life and death, the couple's hearts were still shaken.

"Master Xie, if Xiao Zhao doesn't find a stand-in, will he be trapped in the water all the time?" They couldn't kill a living person for their son, but they couldn't do it while they saw their son's soul trapped at the bottom of the river.

"Can I change my photo freely?" Lele's mother wiped away her tears, whoever she is looking for is a stand-in, if she jumps into the river by herself, can she change her eldest son's freedom?

"Don't do stupid things, Lele is only five years old, he can't live without his mother." The keeper squeezed his wife's hand.

"But he can't live without his father, I'm willing to trade my life for my son."

Xie Qinci also walked to the river: "Don't worry, it's not the only way, if one of the two of you jumps down the river with the heart of letting Xiaozhao be free, your death will be recorded on its head, and when it goes to the ground, it needs to atone for its sins, and now it's better, it's clean and clean, it hasn't harmed anyone, and when it goes to the ground, it's also clean and clean, and you can cast a good baby in the next life." ”

"I can take it out of the river, and then send it to the Qingxiao Temple, where the Taoist masters of the Qingxiao Temple will chant the scriptures, and when the time comes, it will enter the underworld."

The breeder and his wife glanced at each other: "Then trouble Master Xie." ”
