I squatted in front of the little girl, and she looked a little embarrassed. I asked her, "Little sister, do you know where that 'child' came from?" I still didn't believe that the little ghost was born by this little girl.
The little girl tugged at the corner of her clothes with both hands and said nothing, but I noticed that there was still concern in her eyes.
I comforted her, "Yiyi, big brother has no ill intentions. I know you are very kind, but you are still young, and there are many things that you cannot predict. Don't worry, big brother won't say anything nonsense! Can you tell me what happened?"
The little girl glanced at me timidly, thought for a moment, and then said, "I gave birth to that child. I gave birth to him at home. Right here."
She actually admitted that the child was her own, which made me feel even more incredible. But even though I felt incredible, I still didn't interrupt and let the little girl Yiyi continue talking.
At this time, the little girl's father and mother came to us. The little girl's mother glared at me fiercely with anger in her eyes. Maybe she blamed me for bringing the little ghost to her home.
The middle-aged woman said to the little girl, "Yiyi, don't talk to him, he is not a good person!"
After saying that, she took the little girl's hand and went into the bedroom.
Perhaps because he saw that his wife was a little unkind, the middle-aged man came over and apologized to me, saying, "Master, don't be offended, my wife is just like that." He asked me, "Master, do you want to know about my daughter?"
I nodded.
The middle-aged man showed a miserable look on his face. After a moment's silence, he said, "Oh! Forget it. Since the kid today is not... a little ghost, and he has already appeared, I won't hide it from you. Since you want to know about Yi Yi, I'll tell you."
Afterwards, the middle-aged man told me everything that had happened to his daughter Yiyi.
When I heard that Yiyi gave birth to the child after being raped, I was so shocked that I clenched my fists. I didn't expect that someone would reach out to such a weak girl. And she was only fourteen years old. The sexual organs of a fourteen-year-old girl have not yet matured, but she was abused by a villain who is worse than an animal. That person is really hateful!
think
Thinking of the little girl Yiyi and the poor little ghost, I became even angrier. Compared to the vicious little ghost, the beastly abuser was even more hated and despised.
I cursed loudly, "Damn it, damn it, so damn it! That beast is worse than pigs and dogs!"
The middle-aged man's face was also filled with anger and sadness, and I even saw a hint of guilt in his eyes. Perhaps he felt guilty for not protecting his daughter.
I asked the middle-aged man, "Uncle, did you catch that beast?"
The middle-aged man looked worried and shook his head, saying, "No, we haven't even called the police. When Yiyi's mother was afraid of affecting her child, she didn't call the police. After all, Yiyi is a girl, so our family just endured it. If people knew about that, they would inevitably point fingers at us behind our backs."
"We didn't want Yiyi to be affected, so we didn't call the police. But later on, Yiyi's belly got bigger. Oh! It's all my fault. I should have picked her up from school. It's all my fault..."
The middle-aged man's expression was full of self-blame, but his words struck me as pedantic. They didn't even call the police when something like this happened. Although it was very outrageous, if they didn't call the police, then wouldn't that beast be able to get away with it
I wanted to stand up for this family. I asked the man directly, "Uncle, after Yi Yi did that, didn't you find any clues on her body?"
The man said in a deep voice, "No. I've been to the place where Yiyi was abused, but I didn't find any clues there. If I really found any clues and found that beast, I would kill him with my own hands! Cut him into pieces!"
The man's face showed a vicious and ferocious look, and he looked like a vicious wolf.
The man continued in a low voice: "And after Yiyi was abused, her mental state has not been very good. She used to be a lively and cheerful child, but since that incident, she has become silent. She only knows that the man is a man, very tall, with his face covered. She doesn't know anything else!"
I really feel sorry for this family. I didn't expect them to be so unfortunate. Just look at their living environment.
It was obvious that the family was very poor. But what did being poor mean? Yet, such a thing happened to their only daughter.
It is a misfortune of the society and the ugliness of human nature that an innocent little girl was ruined like this.
While I was chatting with the middle-aged man, the voice of the little ghost came from the soul collecting barrel. I didn't hide my conversation with the middle-aged man from the little ghost just now, so it should have heard it all.
The little ghost made a "uh uh" sound in the soul-collecting barrel, as if it wanted to eat people. It was very scary.
I only heard him say in the soul collecting barrel: "Master, I can give you another ghost pill, please help me find that man?"
Perhaps because he was afraid that I couldn't hear him, the little ghost hit the barrel wall a few more times. However, the barrel was specially used to collect souls, so he couldn't break it open for a while. Moreover, bamboo itself has a restraining effect on ghosts. In addition, the little ghost's soul was still very weak, and there were talismans on the barrel wall, so the little ghost couldn't get out for the time being.
Hearing the ghost's eerie voice, the middle-aged man showed a worried expression on his face.
He asked me nervously, "Master, that ghost, won't it come out again?"
"Don't worry, you can't get out!" I shook my head.
The middle-aged man muttered gloomily, "It's good that she can't get out, it's good that she can't get out! If she can't get out, then I can live in peace! Our family has been unfortunate enough, I don't want anything else to happen to our family. I just want Yiyi to get better as soon as possible, just like a normal child."
Tears appeared in the man's eyes.
Men don't cry easily, but that's not until they are really sad. You can imagine how desolate and sad the middle-aged uncle must be. No matter who has that kind of thing, it will be a scar that is difficult to heal.
The little ghost was still begging in the soul collecting barrel, begging me to help him find his biological father who was worse than a beast. I wanted to help, but now there was nothing, so where could I find that beast for him
I said to the little ghost in a deep voice: "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I really can't do anything. If I can help you and your mother, I will definitely help."
But the little ghost in the soul collecting barrel was obviously unwilling to accept it. He kept crying and muttering, "No, no, no... ... You can
Yes, you can do it... You must have a way, you are a Taoist priest, you can do anything, you can help me, I beg you, Master!"
I could clearly feel the mood swings of the ghost in the soul collecting barrel. And the gloomy and fierce aura was actually increasing. I knew that the resentment of the ghost must have increased a lot. Although the ghost's soul was injured, he was a ghost after all, and a ghost with the potential to become an evil ghost.
“Bang, bang!”
The soul-collecting bucket on my waist was shaking violently. I was really afraid that the little ghost would suddenly rush out. If he rushed out, it would be a foolish dream for me to get rid of him with my current little skills.
And the little ghost seemed to think that I could help him. But I was just a fake Taoist priest, so how could I help him
But if I don't help him, once he breaks through the soul collecting barrel, the consequences will be unimaginable. He might become a vicious ghost, lose consciousness, and kill anyone he sees. At that time, even if a real ghost catcher comes, it will be difficult to deal with him.
So, now all I can do is try my best to find a way to temporarily calm his resentment.
But what should I do
The middle-aged man looked at me and asked, "Master, do you really have no solution?"
I frowned, racked my brains, and carefully recalled the contents of the Yin-Yang Soul Notes, hoping to help them. However, it seemed that there was no good way to find the perpetrator.
Just when I was about to shake my head and tell the middle-aged man that I really had no choice, suddenly, I seemed to remember something.
By the way, there was an article in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes that said using the bones of a child could help find one's relatives. But it would cost a lot, and that price was the soul of the person who sacrificed the bones. I wonder if this method is feasible
Seeing that I was hesitant, the middle-aged man asked me hurriedly, "Master, have you thought of something?"
I didn't want to deceive the poor old man in front of me, so I said in a low voice: "Yes, I have thought of a way, but this method is a bit too cruel. Not only do we have to find the child's body, but we also have to sacrifice the child's soul."
"But if he sacrifices the child's soul, then he
They will be reduced to ashes and will not be able to be reincarnated, and there will be no afterlife. This is also contrary to our duty as Taoists to help the souls to be reborn.”
The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Yes, this is really unfair to the child. Our family didn't fulfill our responsibilities when he came to this world. Now if we ask him to sacrifice his soul, it will be too cruel for him."
"Oh! Forget it, this is all the sin our family has committed! It's fate!"
But the ghost in the soul-collecting barrel was still unyielding, and his resentment had already affected the environment we were in. Under this resentment, the chandelier in the man's living room began to flicker, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. The yin energy in the entire living room became heavier and heavier.
No, this can't go on. I have to appease the little ghost.
I sighed, feeling helpless, but I still told the kid my idea.
"Little ghost, don't do anything rash. If you do, not only will you not be able to help your mother, but you will also be doomed. You heard what I said just now. It's not that I don't have a way, but that method is too dangerous. Although I am a Taoist priest who catches ghosts, I can't bear to see you turn to ashes!"
"Do you get me?"
The little ghost in the soul-collecting barrel fell silent, and he no longer used his soul to hit the barrel wall.
But after a moment, the little ghost told me confidently, "Master, I have made up my mind. As long as you can help me avenge this, I am willing to sacrifice my soul!"
The ghost's words stirred a lot of waves in my heart. I didn't expect ghosts to be so sentimental. And it was a little ghost.
I didn't argue with the little ghost, because a ghost's obsession is not so easy to change. And from what the little ghost said, I also understood that his obsession could not be changed with just a few words.
But what I didn’t expect was that at this moment, the little girl Yiyi who had entered the bedroom earlier, suddenly ran out of the bedroom.
The little girl cried, "No, don't... don't sacrifice the child. He is my own child and I don't want anything to happen to him. Master, Dad, I beg you. Please let him go! Can you let me keep him? I don't want him to be reborn because of me. I want him to be fine."
