When I was a child, the New Year was always full of flavors, buying new clothes, setting off firecrackers, steaming steamed buns, fried rice cakes, and most importantly, eating meat every day.
So the joy of Chinese New Year completely washed out everything in my mind about that red-little brat.
On the night of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, something happened, and the shadow of that kid was deeply imprinted in my mind again.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in our hometown, there is no lantern festival. Instead, every household will use sorghum stalks to tie a paper lantern for their children, and then the children will take the paper lantern to the street to play and show off to each other. That night, Zhao and I Jie and Zhao Yuan also went out to play on the street with a lantern.
All the children in the village gathered together, and it was naturally quite lively.
In fact, when I think about it now, I don't even remember why we had so much fun. I just remember that we were running, chasing, and so on in the street with lanterns, and we had a lot of fun.
When we got tired of playing, the candles we prepared were basically exhausted in the lantern, so the three of us went home together. At this time, only one of the candles in Zhao Yuan's lantern was left. Zhao Yuan and I Jay's is off.
In fact, the three of us brought the same number of candles. The main reason was that Zhao Jie and I ran all night, and the candles burned much faster than when they were stationary.
We are going back to go through that big bend. The place has already been affixed by Master Liu, and it has never been haunted again, but when we walked here today, we felt inexplicably gloomy, not to mention that we also hit a The lantern made of white pier paper makes the whole picture even more terrifying.
Zhao Yuan suddenly stopped after walking around the corner. Zhao Jie and I were also taken aback. At the same time, when we asked Zhao Yuan what was wrong, Zhao Yuan said, "Listen, are there any children crying?"
Zhao Jie and I hurried to listen carefully, but I didn't hear anything. The surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and we could even hear our own heartbeats.
Zhao Yuan pointed to the short cliff below the corner and said, "It's just below, did someone's child lose it somewhere?"
Saying that, Zhao Yuan walked towards the edge of the low cliff, and when she got to the edge, she used the dim light of the lantern to look down, but of course she didn't find anything. Just below this, how can there be nothing?"
At this time, Zhao Jie and I were so scared that the hairs stood on end, but Zhao Yuan's face was calm, no, to be precise, his face was indifferent, and he couldn't see the slightest expression on his face.
I just said, "Sister Zhao Yuan, don't scare us, Zhao Jie and I are about to die from the crying of that child..."
Zhao Yuan shook her head, ignoring me, and then walked to the bottom of the low cliff. She just stepped forward, instead of taking the side road, she was about to jump straight down. Zhao Jie and I were also terrified, so hurry up One person took Zhao Yuan's arm and pulled it back.
Seeing that I couldn't hold it anymore, I quickly took out a copper coin and slapped it on Zhao Yuan's back, she shuddered suddenly, then suddenly woke up and said, "I, I'm standing on the edge of this low cliff. what."
Then I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You, you just fell into evil, think about it, did you hear something?"
Zhao Yuan instantly paled in fright and said, "I heard the child's cry, and it was very pitiful. The cry seemed to be calling me to go down to find him."
What I heard was trembling all over, and I said, "Sister Zhao Yuan, you've fallen in love with evil, and the one who made a ghost in it may be the ghost baby that Zhao Jie and I met before."
After listening to me, Zhao Yuan was also quite frightened, so she hurriedly said, let's go back first and then go home.
We hurried back home with the lanterns, but we actually went to Zhao Jie's house first, and told Zhao Laohei what happened on our way. After listening to us, Zhao Laohei frowned and said, "It seems that You were entangled by that little devil, and I knew you were leading the way for the ghost, but only half way, the ghost could not let you go so easily."
At that time, I was confused and asked Zhao Laohei: "Uncle Zhao, what do you mean, what do you mean by leading the way for the ghosts, when did we lead the way for the ghosts?"
Zhao Laohei said, "Just a few days ago, when you went to Huaishu Ridge, didn't you say that there was a baby body that followed you out of the mountain? That was the ghost that led the way."
I was blinded at the time, and Zhao Laohei continued: "Actually, this is also a chance, Master Liu often said that it is a chance, you go down to the valley below the Huaishu Ridge, and use the yang energy in your body to evoke this little devil's sense of the world. Nostalgia, and then you led it to follow you with a tool, that is, you said that Shang Haoming once held a copper coin in front of it, and you actually did an unsuccessful French style unintentionally, and then you ran away, That baby body is beyond the range of the magic weapon, and it will be hurt by the sun, causing the red ghost to lose its direction and drift into the world."
After speaking, Zhao Laohei added: "The ghosts of people have a lot of attachment to the world after death, so after people are buried, after their relatives bow down and worship, they must go straight home and can't turn back, otherwise their relatives will die. Yang qi will arouse the soul's nostalgia for the world, and then form ghosts, and generally only the yang qi of relatives can affect the deceased."
I asked back, "But we are not relatives of that kid."
Zhao Laohei said: "This is the problem, when the abandoned baby was abandoned, he didn't realize it, and he definitely didn't know who his relatives were, so the yang qi of the few of you should be the ones he came into contact with after his death. The first batch of yang qi, so he believed that he had something to do with you, plus you used the magic weapon to guide him by mistake, he even more recognized that you were his relatives, but you did half of the French style. Abandoning him, I am afraid this will make him jealous, that is to say, he is likely to come back and settle accounts with you."
Zhao Laohei paused and said: "I was abandoned once when I was a human being, and then inexplicably abandoned once when I was a ghost. That kid must have a lot of resentment in his heart. If I meet him, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it."
After listening to Mr. Zhao, I was completely desperate. Could it be that we really can't get rid of that thing
Zhao Jie was also very frightened, while Zhao Yuan complained that we were arrogant children, going around to cause trouble, and even provoking a difficult kid.
Zhao Jie's mother also nervously asked Zhao Laohei if he had a solution, and Zhao Laohei said, "Find a way to attract that kid, then finish the unfinished French style, and send that kid away. "
I asked Zhao Laohei how to do it, and Zhao Laohei thought about it and said, "The way people can't be changed, it has to be that kid Shang Haoming. As for the other process, I'll arrange it. By the way, before that, We have to figure out where the baby was buried first."
After hearing Zhao Laohei say this, I suddenly felt that things were getting more and more complicated.
When I went home, Zhao Laohei sent me back, and he told my parents about the incident this evening again, and after he finished speaking, he said, "These children, this time it is true. Get into big trouble."
My father sighed and asked Zhao Laohei: "Would you like to call Master Liu, let these children solve this matter, and there is no one to protect the law by the side, I'm afraid something went wrong and a big thing happened."
Zhao Laohei also nodded and said, "Well, we'll call Master Liu tomorrow, but the sooner the better, the sooner it's done, the better. a few children."
I slept very unsteadily that night. I always heard the cries of the children indistinctly at night. Every time I really woke up, I found that there was no sound at all. The surroundings were terribly quiet. Sleepy, the sound will sound again.
So I was tossed like this all night, and the next day I got up and played a set of Dahongquan, and I raised a little bit of energy in front of me.
Early in the morning, my father and Zhao Laohei went out together. According to my mother, we went to find out where the baby was buried and called Master Liu.
As soon as I mentioned that baby body, my stomach started - vomit - the half-rotten body, as if right in front of my eyes - vomit - I really can't think about him, it's disgusting, it's horrible.
As for Zhao Jie and I, we are naturally not allowed to leave the house, we can only play at home, but school will start in a few days.
And today we also heard something, that is that Wang Chunmei from the countryside has come back from her hometown, but she is still crazy.
As for why she came here again, I heard that it was like this. Wang Chunmei was sent home. In the first few days, she was fine. At most, she would make some troubles. Even if she was irrigated later, she couldn't take it anymore, and Wang Chunmei would often self-mutilate, but her family tied her to the bed.
But I don't know why, after the night together, the rope on Wang Chunmei's body would always untangle by herself, and she would run into the yard and say that she was going to my uncle's house, to go to my uncle's house. The people who tossed Wang's family were also afraid, and found another one. After the master took a look, the master said that Wang Chunmei may still have a wish for the dirt on her body to disappear, and suggested to do as Wang Chunmei said, send her to her uncle's house temporarily, and then wait and see what happens.
Of course, the master also followed.
When I heard that the master was coming, my family was relieved, so my father and Zhao Laohei were going to invite the master to our house, and then share the information and let the master help us children. There is no need to wait for Master Liu to come.
For this master, I am also full of expectations. Will he be a very powerful person like Master Liu
Thinking of this, I can't help but think of Master Liu. I miss the sense of security when he is by my side. When he is here, I always feel that no matter what happens, I can solve it, because Master Liu will solve it. , he seems to be omnipotent.
