Chapter 39: Sandalwood Punishment
Zhang Linli stared at the numbers on the calculator and read silently in his mouth.
"Two hundred and thirty-six thousand eight hundred and forty-nine pieces and five cents and four. ”
I sneered when I heard this, this big wave can really fix people, set a price, and there are whole things.
I saw Zhang Linli's handsome face, from flat to distorted, from miserable white to dark. More than 200,000 yuan, not to mention a factory director, even a factory manager is enough for him to drink a pot.
"No, no problem. ”
Zhang Linli gritted his back molars and squeezed out these words from his lips.
"Me, I don't have so much change in WeChat. Let's swipe the card. ”
I hurriedly took out the POS machine with ash accumulated half a centimeter thick from the counter, and handed it to Zhang Linli respectfully with both hands. I also complained to Niu Baiye. "A broken dumpling restaurant, things are so well stocked. Isn't that redundant?"
Unexpectedly, it really came in handy today.
Zhang Linli is not a fraudulent shell, I saw him take out a gold card of China Construction Bank from Chanel's wallet. The hand holding the card trembled across the POS machine.
Just listen to the sound of Didi, and the payment is successful.
Zhang Linli breathed a long sigh of relief and said to save face.
"It's only 200,000 yuan, the money for a meal. It's all a small case, and it's not less than 200,000 yuan to buy me a few clothes!"
Da Lang didn't bother to pay attention to this pretending man, and dragged me to the back kitchen to sort out the props and magic tools used in the Five Elements Qiankun Array.
The three of us faced the loess with our backs to the sky, and after half an hour of painstaking searching, we finally got seven or eight points together.
There are ink fountains, brushes, files, glutinous rice, red strings, burnt paper, ancient money from the Qing Dynasty, red belly pockets for women, and horns and willow strips.
I looked at these things that were out of touch, scrubbing the beads of sweat from my forehead.
"That's all you need to be able to catch ghosts and ward off evil spirits?"
Old Man Su was also tired, panting and making up for breath.
"Xiao Wang, don't underestimate these things. These are all taboos for ghosts, and they are all Bao'er. ”
The big wave snapped his fingers and counted these things in his mind one by one.
"Grandpa, it's just black dog blood and sandalwood at the moment. ”
I asked.
"I've heard of black dog blood, which used to be common in old ghost movies in the harbor area, and black dog blood can drive away evil spirits and avoid evil. Can this sandalwood be okay?"
The big wave wrapped the magic weapons he had just found one by one with a yellow cloth.
"Stinky brother, you don't understand this. Have you ever watched Mo Yan's "Sandalwood Punishment"?"
I've seen "Sandalwood Punishment", which is to cut a piece of sandalwood into a shape the size of a sword, longer and wider than a sword. After cooking, it is boiled in piping hot sesame oil, and when cooked, dough and raw beef are added to let the sandalwood stain the grain and meat flavor.
After five days of cooking, the sandalwood will become a very hard and pliable material on the surface, but the surface will be very smooth, because the sesame oil is soaked into the stick, then this cruel torture instrument is made.
When casting spells on the inmate, the inmate is first asked to lie on the desk, and then the torturer holds the sandalwood in one hand and a large wooden hammer in the other, and the sandalwood is punched into the prisoner's chrysanthemum, through the whole body, from the mouth, or from the mouth and through the chrysanthemum.
In the whole process, because of the good flexibility of sandalwood and the smoothness of the grease on the surface, coupled with the skill of the torturer, it avoids the important tissues and organs of the prisoner, and the prisoner will not be killed immediately.
And if the prisoner is in a state of near death, the torturer will also infuse the prisoner with life-sustaining soup, and finally the prisoner will see his whole body rot and grow maggots, and die in extreme pain.
I say. "Isn't the sandalwood punishment said to have been invented by the old man Mo Yan? The only thing that is similar to this penal code is supposed to be a punishment in the middle of the continent, in which the body is pierced by a wooden stick.
However, people are just ordinary wooden sticks, not sandalwood. ”
The big wave wrapped the ritual utensils and didn't forget to tease me.
"I didn't expect you to know a lot about the stinky brother, it seems that you not only have research on Dongguan SPA, but also have a deep understanding of the ten tortures of the Manchu Dynasty.
But that's basically what it means, Old Man Mo Yan wrote. Why do you want to use sandalwood instead of peach, mahogany, or rosewood? It's not because sandalwood has the meaning of calming the nerves, calming the spirit, and repelling ghosts. ”
Old Man Su instructed us.
"Don't discuss those useless things, Xiao Wang, you go up to the shelf and take a big copper basin, find a way to get a basin of black dog blood, remember, it must be a black dog. It would be better if it was a five-black dog, the blood should be fresh, and it must be a newly killed dog today. ”
"It's ....... ”
I'm really a little embarrassed, what kind of blood is not good, chicken blood, pig blood, sheep blood, cow blood. Even if it's human blood, I just go to the hospital blood bank and buy two bags, but I want dog blood.
I knew that in this year, dogs have already become livestock and become pets. Although I am not an emotional dog lover, I rarely eat dog meat, let alone watch others kill dogs for blood.
"How can there be a dog seller! Not to mention a black dog, what are the five black dogs, Sister Danhong, what are the five black dogs. ”
Da Lang packed the ritual utensils and sat on the red plastic stool next to the incense table to drink.
As the name suggests, it's all black. A dog with black eyes, black paws, black hair, black ears, and a black tongue. It is said that black dogs have yin and yang eyes, especially the five black dogs, and are known as the messengers of Huangquan. But it's still quite difficult to find, just look for an ordinary black dog, which is mostly black, and it doesn't matter if you have two white fur on your body. ”
I'm still a little struggling with it.
"Kill the dogs! After all, the Wangs are also a life. I haven't even killed chickens. ”
The big wave gave me a blank look and said disdainfully.
"I didn't let you kill it, find a dog meat restaurant or dog farm, and buy blood! Although dogs are lives, human lives are valuable, and dogs' lives are valuable. Don't forget, your dad is still lying in the hospital. Do you want to save your father?"
I was stunned by the big waves, this woman has always been ruthless. But I also know that you can't have both fish and bear's paws.
I had no choice, so I had to carry a copper basin and walk out of the dumpling restaurant alone.
Along the way, I was reminded of a poem by Cangyang Gyatso.
"I was afraid that I would hurt my practice, and I was afraid that I would fall into the mountains and fall into the city by mistake.
The world has the law of both sides, and it lives up to it. ”
It would be nice if there was a double dharma in the world, which could save my father's life without having to add another dog's soul.
With this in mind, my legs unconsciously wandered around the shopping street. Unconsciously walked to the door of a fragrant meat restaurant, there was a pine tree with the thickness of a bowl at the door of the meat restaurant, and a skinny, slender black earth dog was tied to the pine tree.
"That's you!"
I said in silence in my heart. "Poor dog, if you die, your soul will not be gone. Remember to go to the scumbag who pretended to be a scumbag for revenge, and I will definitely be on your side. ”
Suddenly, a strong man in his early 30s with an apron came out of the fragrant meat restaurant, who should be the owner of the fragrant meat restaurant, probably seeing me at the door of his house, circling around the dog. Treat me like a thief stealing dogs.
"Hey, buddy, what are you hanging around here? Where's dinner? ”
I hurriedly waved my hand.
"Big brother, how much does your dog sell?"
When this strong man saw that I was interested in buying a dog, he stretched out a slap. "Five hundred, you take it away. ”
It's not expensive, it's just that I feel uncomfortable in my heart.
"If I don't take it away, will you kill it?"
......
I sat in the fragrant meat restaurant, and my whole nostrils were filled with the smell of fragrant meat and garlic.
There was a terrifying dog barking outside the door, and my whole body was numb and shivering.
Less leaning, the strong man gave me a basin full of copper, sticky, thick red blood.
"Brother, the hair has been cleaned for you, and you can take it away directly in a bag?"
I shook my head, holding the heavy basin of black dog blood.
"Forget it, big brother, do me a favor and help me find a place to bury this dog. ”
The strong man looked at me with a stunned expression, probably taking me for a freak. I also knew that he would not bury the dog, and as soon as I stepped out of the door with my front foot, the poor dog's corpse with my back foot would be thrown into the stew pot by him.
However, I still want to tell him that I should buy myself psychological comfort.
