As soon as this thought came to my mind, I ignored the conversation with the few students next to me and stood up suddenly, walking towards my ancestral home in the west of the village.
I walked very fast, my steps were as fast as running, and I didn't even listen to the greetings coming from behind.
In my mind, at that moment, there was only one purpose, which was to enter the ancestral house, then go to the former shrine, kowtow to the spiritual tablets on it, and relax my body and mind. In my eyes, there was only that part of the ancestral house.
The dark shadow, illuminated by the dim light coming from the windows of nearby houses, looked particularly deep. I walked for a while, and when I was still about twenty meters away from my ancestral home, a hand suddenly grabbed me. I struggled.
, the hand tightened, I turned around and saw Zamao Xiaodao shouting something loudly at me, but I couldn’t hear clearly even if I listened carefully.
I shook my hand vigorously, dropped the hairy path, and ran forward, but I didn't take more than two steps and was grabbed by the skirt of my clothes again.
Then Zamao Xiaodao hit me hard on the forehead, pointed his sword between my eyebrows, and muttered scriptures. I was furious and asked, "What are you doing?" Zamao Xiaodao was also very angry and said, "Little poison, your head is poisonous."
I'm having cramps. I told you that the yin energy here is too strong and accidents are easy to happen at night. Why are you still running here?
I said that is my ancestral home. My grandmother used to live in this place. Is there a Mao Yin Qi?
Zamao Xiaodao came close to me, came over to me, and roared loudly: "Duh!"
The breath in his chest was as heavy as thunder, blasting in my ears, which shocked me. I felt like my ears were buzzing, I was dizzy, and I was very short of breath. After a long time, I finally spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
I looked at him angrily, saying what the hell are you doing? Zamao Xiaodao was not angry at all, he looked at me with a smile and said, "What's going on? Is your head clear at all?"
After he said this, I suddenly felt much more relaxed. I turned around, looked at a few students running towards me, and said, "What's the matter?"
A child of my relative pointed in front of me and said, Brother Zuo, you just had such blank eyes and walked towards the house without paying attention to anyone. It was so scary. When I heard this, I looked at the one facing my grandma.
Looking at the courtyard, I saw that it was hidden in the darkness, with no other people around it. It was so lonely, and it looked like a tomb. There was a chilling evil spirit rolling in, coming from the dark corner, making people shudder.
I suddenly remembered that when my grandmother gave me a dream, she once told me that after I kowtow and acknowledge my ancestors, I should never come back again or take away anything from the house.
I didn't feel it at the time, but when I looked at it now, waves of coolness came out of my heart.
Several students came up to pull me and said, Brother Zuo, let’s go back, let’s go back, it’s so cold here. I followed them back and asked the kid from my relative’s house why this old house looked so gloomy.
? He said no, the second son of the blind man Wang in the village once played hide and seek and broke into your grandmother's house. He said he saw a ghost and was scared half to death. He had a fever for several days and kept talking nonsense. Later,
When people in the village saw this house, they all walked around it.
Zamao Xiaodao squinted his eyes and looked at me for a long time, then put his arm on my shoulder and said, "Go back."
That night we took the car back and I asked my mother if the old house had been sold.
Mother said no. People in the village said that the old house was haunted, and your uncle couldn't get rid of it. He couldn't sell it at a low price. However, your uncle wasn't very short of money recently, so he just stayed there and didn't care about it anymore.
I left it abandoned. I didn’t know if it was because I drank too much wine, but I was a little dizzy. I asked what I thought of the Zamao Trail. He said that the yin energy there was really strong, but since it was the burial place of the Golden Silkworm Gu, your grandma was an expert.
, naturally no evil things can get in. Maybe it’s because too many snake and insect corpses were buried before, and resentment accumulated.
No matter what, since my grandma emphatically told me, I will do it.
The next day Zamao Xiaodao felt bored staying at my house, so he proposed to go to our county to have some fun. I didn't want to move around, so I gave him the key to the house in Xinjie and told him to just stay there. He kept it.
Key, take the tiger cat and leave.
A few days later, one day at noon, I was taking a nap in the house. I heard a knock on the door and someone called me. When I came out, I saw the boy who ran the photocopying shop in the middle school in the town. His name was Jiang Defu. I always
They all called him Lao Jiang. Lao Jiang refused to enter the house, so he pulled me to the side of the house and asked me if I knew something about Feng Shui and Yin and Yang. I said I knew a little bit about it. What's wrong? What happened?
He hesitated to speak, looked around and said, Zuo, if you understand, do me a favor and accompany me to my cousin's house. I asked what was going on? He hesitated, and I
He pulled me into my bedroom, made him a pot of tea, and asked him to calm down before talking to me.
Lao Jiang took a sip of hot tea and then began to tell me about his cousin.
Lao Jiang's cousin is in his fifties and is an old prison guard in the county jail. He has been doing this job for more than thirty years. It doesn't sound good, but it is a good job. Not only does it work for the public
, the harvest is guaranteed despite droughts and floods, and he can still fish from outside, and he can eat some filial piety from the prisoners' families, and his life has been uneventful year after year. But since June, he has been unlucky, and he is on duty at night.
When I was in the hospital, I was always easily suspicious. I either felt the sound of someone walking in the corridor, or someone flashed outside the window. I walked over and took a look, but there was no one there.
His cousin has been in the prison system all his life. He is not well educated, but he is also a person who does not believe in evil. However, after this kind of thing happens too much, he will naturally become suspicious, restless all day, and suffer from insomnia and dreams.
And there is an even weirder thing: his cousin's eldest son got married last year and had a grandson this year. The fat boy is so cute and chubby that it hurts to look at him. He is also very well-behaved and loves to laugh.
This should be a happy thing, but I don't know why. Ever since his cousin became uneasy, he kept crying every time he held the child. He was either hungry or not peeing.
She cried all night long, no matter how much she was coaxed, she couldn't be coaxed.
At first, no one noticed. They just followed the family custom and wrote a spell on yellow paper: "Emperor of Heaven, Emperor of Earth, Emperor of Earth, I have a Night Crying Man in my family..." and posted it on the road for passers-by to recite. However, later his cousin
My daughter-in-law found out that every time her grandfather held the baby, she would cry so hard that she couldn't even hold her or get any closer to her. So she started to make plans to separate the family and buy a house.
Lao Jiang's cousin has two sons. The eldest is married and the younger is still in college. Although he has saved some money, his expenses are also very high. Where can he find the money to buy a house for the eldest? So he refused, and his wife followed him.
My husband was noisy every day, and eventually my boss couldn't stand it anymore, so he moved out and rented a house in the northeast corner of the county.
Lao Jiang, his cousin, has been used to being a prison guard all his life. He is very arrogant when talking to people. The only time he softens his heart is to tease his chubby little grandson. This time, his grandson was taken away by the boss and his wife.
, it didn’t work out. Every time he thought about his big, fat grandson, he would scratch his head and feel uncomfortable, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. In addition, he always felt something was wrong, and his spirit became even more depressed.
It wasn't until the first ten days of this month that his cousin finally couldn't stand it anymore and fell ill. He couldn't control it. He lay in bed and couldn't get up. He went to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor just said that he was mentally weak and overtired, so he prescribed several treatments to nurse him back to health.
After taking Chinese medicine, he was allowed to rest at home. His cousin was lying at home, always having nightmares and night sweats. Every time he woke up, it was like being fished out of water. He felt like he was about to die, and his only wish was to
Give your big fat grandson a hug.
The eldest brother learned about his father's illness and went back to persuade his daughter-in-law for a long time. She finally agreed and took his son home.
Finally something happened.
At this point, Lao Jiang stopped talking. He looked at me and said, Zuo, they all said that you know a lot of things and can know yin and yang. Guess what happened next? I put my fingers on the table and asked, could it be?
The child fainted from convulsions?
He clapped his hands and said how did you know?
I said that according to your description, your cousin must have been entangled in something dirty and unclean, and as a result he is always suspicious. Naturally, this evil nature cannot be seen by others, but because the baby was just born, he is like this
Growing things is the most sensitive thing, so every time I hug him, I cry and get very scared. This thing is nothing, that thing is just a mark, just live separately, but after so long of cultivation by your cousin, that thing
The thing is naturally becoming more and more powerful. Your cousin is an adult and has strong blood and vitality, so it is not easy to entangle, but babies are different. Once entangled, they will easily die and be killed by that thing. Don't be shy, now
Are your cousin's children still alive?
Lao Jiang held my hand tightly, with an excited expression, and said, Zuo, what you said is just like what I have seen with my own eyes. It is so clear and logical. It’s really fucking amazing. My eldest nephew is still alive, just the first two
What happened the other day? Now my cousin's house is in chaos. People are crying, hanging themselves, and panicking to death. My mother went to the county yesterday and said that this family can't be ruined like this. Let me
Come and ask you, see if you have any ideas - if my mother hadn't told me, brother, I wouldn't have known you had such abilities.
This is just a trivial matter. I thought about it for a while. Firstly, Lao Jiang and I grew up playing in the mud together, and we have a deep relationship. Secondly, they are two human lives anyway. Since you have asked me to come here, you can't ignore it.
, so I got up, took some things with me, and said hello to my mother who was busy in the store. Then I left home at her old lady’s instruction, came to the street and waited for half an hour before I got on the shuttle bus and went there.
