Mother-in-law Hong Rong was at my house that day. She made sure that I was all right, and asked a few methods to supplement my yang energy. Then, she went to Zhao Laohei to discuss how to solve the problem of Xiaochun's mother. It can be seen from the heavy expression on her face that she has absolutely no confidence in whether she can solve the matter of Xiaochun Erniang.
Of course, I didn't see the expression on the mother-in-law Hong Rong, and I also listened to my dad later.
In fact, this time I was not in a coma for too long. I woke up at seven or eight in the evening, and I kept shouting "hungry", but I have no memory of that time. My mother told me, I think it should be "dirty things" that have invaded my consciousness, and the sequelae caused to me have caused me to lose some of the memory I should have.
By the time I fully realized my own consciousness, it was already after nine o'clock in the morning of the next day. At this time, the matter of my "injury" had already been heard in our village, so I had a clear understanding of it from yesterday. Awareness, almost all the neighbors in our village have come to see me.
Of course, this is also because our village is small.
When I woke up, I found that the kid Zhao Jie was also beside me. Seeing that I spoke clearly and knew the person next to me, my parents were relieved, and then asked me if I was still hungry, and I said I was not hungry. , just want to go out and play.
My mother glared at me and said, "I'm still playing, your little life is almost gone for you."
When my mother said this, I also remembered something, and subconsciously asked my mother, "Is Xiaochunniang gone?"
My mother quickly hugged me and said softly, "Xiaoyong, don't think about those things. It's all your nightmares. It's okay, it's okay."
My dad said: "Okay, the child has just woken up, let him lie down for a while, I should also go to the school to have a look, remember to call me if there is anything, I haven't been able to teach the children well these days, so I was delayed. Too many lessons…”
My dad is such a person. As long as our family affairs are resolved, his mind will return to his classroom in an instant. My mother and I, many years later, are helpless.
See me now, my mother specially allowed me to play with Zhao Jie at home, while my mother chatted with Zhao Jie and her mother outside while knitting sweaters.
Zhao Jie stayed in the house with me. Seeing that our mother was out of the house, Zhao Jie asked me, "Xiaoyong, have you really seen Xiaochunniang?"
I nodded and said, "Really, it's scary, yes, and..."
I was going to say that I also saw the old grandson, but at this time, Laohei Zhao came to our house in a hurry, then said hello to his daughter-in-law, and asked my mother, where am I, my mother said, where else can I be? , lying on the kang of the house.
After listening to my mother, Zhao Laohei rushed into our house in a hurry, and my mother and Zhao Jie's mother also hurried in.
Zhao Laohei looked at me and Zhao Jie talking, and while pulling Zhao Jie away, he said, "Xiaojie, get up, I have something to ask Xiaoyong, and I want to take Xiaoyong to meet someone important."
Who is Zhao Jie's father, Zhao Laohei said, "I said, you don't know him either."
I looked at Zhao Laohei and asked, "Uncle Zhao, what are you going to ask me about? Is it also about Xiaochun Erniang?"
Zhao Laohei glanced at me in surprise, then nodded and said, "Yes, Xiaoyong, tell me, on the day Xiaochunniang was buried, did you really watch her jump out of the grave? Then he pushed the old grandson into the grave."
In fact, what I saw was Xiaochunniang jumping in holding the waist of the old grandson's head. If you want to say push, it's ok, so I nodded.
Zhao Laohei asked me again, "Are you sure?"
I nodded, I've seen Xiaochun Erniang more than once these days, so I'm pretty sure I did.
Zhao Laohei took a deep breath, his expression darkened, as if something big was about to happen.
My mother looked at him and asked Zhao Laohei anxiously: "Laohei, what's the matter, is there anything wrong?"
Zhao Laohei said, "If I'm not mistaken, Xiaoyong has opened his 'spirit' eyes."
My mother asked, "Lingmu? What is that, is there anything wrong?"
Zhao Laohei said: "In the Taoist family, opening the spiritual eyes is a skill possessed by powerful people. Generally, Taoists need to use props to open their eyes, such as willow leaves, offerings, crow's eyes, talismans, horseshoe magnets, etc., unless there is a Only those with great ability can see the ghost directly without resorting to anything."
My mother was a little puzzled: "What do you mean, my Xiaoyong still has great skills?"
Zhao Laohei shook his head: "I heard from my master that there are two types of people who can open their spiritual goals under certain conditions. The first is a child whose yin qi is superior, and the second is a dying person. The first type, I heard from my master that the yin qi of a child is superior, plus the mind is pure, it is easy to see things, and it is easy to open the spiritual eyes, but the time is usually relatively short, only a few minutes by chance, because the time is long, it will be invaded by the yin qi. Died from the body..."
Speaking of which, Laohei Zhao deliberately paused, and my mother was also taken aback.
Zhao Laohei continued: "As for the second type, it's simple. People who are dying have a lot of yin in their bodies, so they naturally look at their spiritual eyes, so people who are dying can always see the ghosts around them. , sometimes it may be a relative, sometimes it may be a stranger!"
My mother didn't care about what Zhao Laohei said later, so she asked him: "Laohei, what you said is true, what kind of spiritual eyes can be cured, does my Xiaoyong still have spiritual eyes?"
Zhao Laohei shook his head and said, "Even if it can be cured, I can't do it. In this way, there is a very important guest in my family. Now I will take Xiaoyong there, and you will come with me. He knows a lot more than me, Xiaoyong. I'm afraid it's going to be a big deal this time."
Hearing what Zhao Laohei said, my mother was quite frightened, she quickly picked it up and said, "Why are you still standing there, hurry up, go now."
Zhao Jie's mother also asked Zhao Laohei: "We have guests in our house, why didn't I know?"
Zhao Laohei said, "There are so many things you don't know."
When I arrived at Zhao Laohei's house, I saw an offering table in the yard, with incense candles on it, and offerings such as steamed buns, chicken legs, fried dough sticks, etc. I was drooling, and subconsciously I asked my mother: "Are those for me?"
My mother pinched my ass and scolded: "You idiot, all the time, why are you still thinking about eating in your mind?"
There was no one near the offering table, but before we entered the courtyard, two people walked out of the main room. One was a half-old man who looked in his fifties. He was wearing a yellow Taoist robe and had his back behind him. There was that kind of "fairy" air on his face that was only found in the gods on TV, the kind that made people awe-inspiring when they saw it.
And there was an old woman beside him. This person is our village's grandmother Hong Rong. Although she is much older than the Taoist priest, she still respectfully called the Taoist priest: "Master, he is the one I mentioned to you. the kid."
The Taoist priest nodded without looking at Granny Hong Rong, and then walked straight at me, with a lot of smiles on his face, very kind.
Hearing that Grandma Hong Rong called the Taoist priest "Master", my mother didn't stop her.
The Taoist priest walked up to me and said, "Children, would you like to come with me?"
He speaks very standard Mandarin, which sounds a little better than my heavily accented dialect, but I was still scared to cry, because my mother once said that whenever I meet people on the street, they say The people I followed him were all "old backs" who specialized in kidnapping children.
Lao Beizi, in some places, it refers to human traffickers, and in some places, it refers to a kind of monster that specializes in catching children to eat, and our explanation happens to be the latter.
So when the Taoist priest said that to me, I curled my lips into my mother's arms and cried, "Mom, he's an old back..."
