At around 8 o'clock that night, the village became quiet. Normally, it wouldn't be quiet so early in the night. Recently, because of my second sister's incident, everyone went to bed extra early. As soon as it got dark, there would be no sleep. When I go out again, I'm afraid I'll bump into something unclean.
My house is still lit and waiting. Anyway, the night has no meaning for my family. I always have to watch over my second sister.
At this time, my mother and eldest sister were guarding the second sister's bed. My mother held the second sister's hand and kept crying. My eldest sister also had tears on her face, and her expression was extremely depressed and numb. She was so affected. After receiving too much orthodox education, her world view has undoubtedly changed in the past few days, but it is still difficult to accept it. What is even more unacceptable is that the second sister is being tortured by that mysterious thing, and she, the elder sister, is helpless. .
And what about my dad? Squatting on the sill under the eaves, smoking, his eyes a little dull. He has always been used to being in a daze like this recently. Whenever this happens, I squat next to him and watch, and I feel uncomfortable. The backs of the old and the young are so The sadness.
Men are always different from women, even at a young age. Once the sad things are in his heart, silence will follow him like a shadow. Even though the silence is like a mountain that will crush people, he can't cry anymore.
Just when this was considered 'normal' for my family, there was a knock on the door.
My dad suddenly stood up, threw the cigarette on the ground, and cursed through gritted teeth: "Who else is this evil devil going to harm? Come on me!" After saying that, he stared with both eyes. I ran to open the door, and I followed closely behind with an angry look on my face.
At this time, no one will knock on the door. You must know that people in the village are already panicked! Therefore, the first thing my dad and I thought of was evil spirits.
It's no wonder that we are so nervous. Under long-term torture, a little stimulation can make our already fragile family go 'crazy'!
Afraid? I'm not afraid anymore, I'm used to it anyway, and sometimes I wish I could take the torture on behalf of the poor second sister. What's left is just sadness and heartache, all of which are the trauma caused by being powerless.
Therefore, my dad can rush to the door without hesitation, and I can follow without hesitation. Even if there is a green-faced and fanged demon standing at the door, we can still fight.
"Let me see what you are going to do!" My dad opened the door angrily, and I clenched my little fists and looked like I was fighting for my life.
"I'm here to drink and eat meat." A lazy voice sounded at the door, and a dirty old man was standing behind my house with his hands behind his back, his eyes staring at me with a smile.
I was already in a desperate mood, but I couldn't help but take a step back under his gaze. Just because that smile was so obscene and obscene, this old man really gave me a chill when he stared at me.
Damn it, what's his purpose
Compared to my vigilance, when my dad saw the person coming, he suddenly relaxed. It was a state that I can't describe, as if he had finally found support and was relieved. The will that has been supporting me is gone, and my whole body feels relaxed.
My dad squatted on the ground and cried, the kind of howling cry.
I was dumbfounded and at a loss. I was not afraid of ghosts anymore. How could my dad be scared to tears by this obscene old man
But what my dad did next shocked me even more. He suddenly hugged the old man's leg and cried loudly: "Master Jiang, help, help."
This, this, this...? Is my dad already stupid? Or seek medical treatment urgently? Why would you call this obscene old man for help
"Ah." A scream sounded behind me. It was my mother's voice. The next moment, I saw my mother running to the door like a gust of wind. She looked at the old man and couldn't say anything. Tears flowed freely.
What's going on with my family
But the old man was very calm, and I don't know where he got the strength. He just picked up my dad who was crying like a child, then stepped in and closed the door of my courtyard naturally and familiarly.
"Why are you crying? As long as I'm here, can that blind thing take away your second sister?" After entering the yard, the old man said very calmly, and this sentence made me cry very miserably just now. My father and my mother immediately held back their tears and began to wipe their eyes.
"I said I would take care of it and come back, so don't worry. No, facts have proven that my good disciple and I are destined to be together." The old man suddenly smiled obscenely I got up, and then those dirty 'big paws' touched my head.
In fact, he even muttered under his breath: "I thought I was going to die, but in the end I had to keep my good apprentice who came to see me."
It's just that the voice was too low, and my parents didn't hear it at all. As for me, I was confused and thought he was talking nonsense.
"Bah, bah... who are you? Why do I believe you can help my second sister!" The old man stared at me and smiled, which was so annoying to me that I jumped up to avoid his hand that was reaching for me. "Devil's Claw", while contradicting him unconvincingly, anyway, he just wanted to have trouble with him.
"Three babies..." My father scolded me from the side, and my mother hurriedly came to catch her.
But the old man didn't care at all. He smiled and waved his hand, and touched my head. No matter how much I tried to hide, he couldn't get rid of the hand on my head!
Next, it was my nightmare. He pulled me over, pinched my face with both hands, and rubbed my face and head hard until there were a few dirty fingers on my face. After sealing it, he stopped, looked at me with great satisfaction and said, "Well, this looks like it."
I pouted aggrievedly, not daring to stop making trouble. First, my dad glared at me fiercely, as if he was very disgusted with my disobedience to the old man. Second, I was scared by him. Now my face is numb and my head is dizzy.
"Xiuyun, go quickly and get food for Master Jiang, including meat and wine!" My father had already wiped away his tears and shouted to my mother.
"Hey, eh..." My mother agreed hastily.
"No hurry, no rush, I'll go see my second sister before we talk." The old man replied to my parents with his hands behind his back, and walked into the house with my parents following closely behind.
Although the old man surnamed Jiang was very annoying in my heart, but somehow, I was also very curious about him, so I quickly followed him in.
After entering the house, Old Man Jiang saw the second sister lying on the bed. At this time, the second sister was as skinny as a stick, her face was as pale as paper, and her breathing was very weak. Old Man Jiang also sighed when he saw it, and there was another look on his face. It seems angry.
The eldest sister also saw Old Man Jiang. She stood up and looked at Old Man Jiang in surprise. Old Man Jiang looked at the eldest sister with a smile and said: "You are so big (so big), hehe, the yellow-haired little girl is so beautiful." Spiritual, yes, yes.”
The eldest sister had some impressions of Old Man Jiang. She pointed at Old Man Jiang and wanted to say something, but Old Man Jiang's expression turned serious at the moment and said: "Just watch and don't disturb me by making any noise." , I want to fight with this evil spirit who has a lot of harmful intentions!"
My eldest sister was silent, my parents were even quieter, and even I held my breath, wanting to see what this old man Jiang was capable of.
I saw Old Man Jiang looking at my second sister up and down for a while, then he opened her eyelids and said: "Three souls and seven souls, one soul and four souls have been lost. I am afraid that if I have to find them back, I am afraid that this If the evil ghost comes again, more souls will be squeezed out of the Yang body, and I'm afraid I'll be in big trouble for a while."
My dad couldn't help but said: "Master Jiang, is this thing in my second sister's body now? What will I do if my soul is lost?"
"It's not here now, and it won't be able to get into your second sister's body all the time. It depends on the time and the timing. If the soul is lost and the vitality of the Yang body is not exhausted, it will become a living dead and never wake up again. Come. What do you think will happen if the vitality of the Yang body is extinct? Even the gods may not be able to do anything by then."
After saying that, Old Man Jiang pondered for a while, then looked at my dad and said very seriously: "Speaking of which, most of the resentful ghosts, evil ghosts are also pitiful people. Three little boys should do more good deeds in their lives." , in an attempt to eliminate catastrophe, or turn disaster into good luck! In addition, although our Taoism does not benefit the world, it only aims to cultivate one's own body and nature, and follow the nature of all living beings, but it will not be used as a last resort, nor will it violate the goodness contained in the way of heaven, that is to say , I can’t bear to let the ghosts disperse unless it’s absolutely necessary. But the second sister is like this, I’m afraid you will have a bad breath in your heart, so you can decide whether to accept her, persuade her, or fight her!”
These words were indeed too profound for my parents, who are half illiterate, but I could probably understand what Old Man Jiang meant, and I also understood that my good karma was involved, so I couldn't help but think about it carefully.
