Chapter 4 The merit soup and the case of dismembering the corpse
When I saw these black shadows appearing in my sight, a lump of flesh in my left abdomen was shaking slightly. It didn't hurt this time, I just felt uncomfortable, and an inexplicable sense of fear arose in my heart.
This consciousness was unfamiliar to me, but at that time I could clearly distinguish it as the consciousness of another creature in my body.
It seems to be begging me: stay away, stay away...
But there was a burst of ecstasy in my heart: the book said that the golden silkworm Gu is a spiritual creature. It is not afraid of wild beasts or people. It is only afraid of the ten-year-old rooster with yellow crown and golden claws, and the dwarf mules in the deep mountains and old forests. Since it has such
My consciousness came out, so these dark figures must be the dwarf mules I have been looking for for a long time.
I calmed down and waited for these black figures to approach, and then stopped. I counted them, and there were five of them in total. They were jumping around and it was too dark to see clearly. I looked around at first, but after a while
Yes, a few guys were grabbing and eating at the same time. The clouds passed by, and the moon emerged. Following the moonlight, I saw these legendary short mules. They seemed to have a face that was somewhere between a human and an ape.
It is furry and green; its hands are very long, more than thirty centimeters, almost equal to its height.
They were noisy all the time, making squeaking and squeaking sounds like monkeys in the zoo. The syllables were short but slow and steady.
I don't know why, but I feel that their eyes are very bright and they have a very spiritual feeling.
I waited for about five minutes for them to gather together, then slowly stood up, grabbed a handful of new glutinous rice mixed with egg white and incense ash in my left hand, and held a hunting net in my right hand. Little by little I
The moving route was determined before. There was no sound, only the beating of the heartbeat. Fifteen meters, ten meters, eight meters... When I moved to the eighth meter, suddenly the dwarf mules suddenly
They all stopped and turned to look at me.
Without further ado, the new glutinous rice on my left hand suddenly spilled out, like rain falling from the sky. It all fell on the heads of these short mules. Suddenly, there was a smell of burnt rice on their bodies.
The smell came out. I was very happy. It was said in the book that short mules are most afraid of new glutinous rice mixed with egg white and incense ash. It looks like a red-hot iron when it touches the body. It is true. As soon as my left hand was free, I immediately cooperated with my right hand to kill the new glutinous rice.
The hunting net was spread out. The hunting net was bought from the nearby mountain people. It is specially used to catch rabbits in the grass. It is not easy to spread. I practiced for a long time during the day and had no idea. I never thought that it would be unexpectedly successful.
A piece of thick polyester netting with caltrop nails shrouded them like a dark cloud.
Unexpectedly, these short mules reacted very sensitively. Except for one slightly taller guy who was caught in the net, the others dwarfed and fled in all directions. The ones inside the net were still struggling hard and screaming, "I
He quickly ran over, stepped on the edge of the net, and poured all the new glutinous rice in his pocket onto it. The glutinous rice weighed more than two kilograms. As soon as it fell on it, a black smoke came out. It was so magical.
Already.
When the guy stopped struggling, I took out the red thread and wrapped it all over the net. Then I tied the net tightly with a rope as thick as my tail finger. I looked around and saw that the escaping dwarf mule had disappeared.
It was late at night and I rushed to the forest guard house with my net in hand. The furry guy in the net bag didn't look big, but it was heavy, weighing thirty or forty pounds. It was very smelly, like burnt rice.
, there was also a foul smell of urine, my heart was in my throat, there was phlegm in my throat, I couldn’t spit it out, and I felt so uncomfortable with choking. In the dark night, it was like the devil’s big mouth, and for a moment I
My heart was tightly gripped by fear, and I couldn't tell whether it was me or the golden silkworm Gu in my body. My steps were getting faster and faster, and I reached the mountain road of several hundred meters without much effort.
Boom, boom, boom...
I knocked on the door fiercely, and the inquiries from my uncle and Li Decai came one after another. I said it was me, and then the lights in the room turned on. Then the door opened, and my uncle walked out with his coat on, sleepy-eyed.
, asked what time it was, and why I came back. I lifted the net in my hand and said, "I caught a short mule!" My uncle became excited and immediately became energetic. He pulled me into the house and closed the door.
Take a look under the lamp.
When he heard that I had caught a living dwarf mule, Li Decai, who was still sleeping on the bed, also got up and looked over with his clothes on.
Under the 100-watt bright incandescent light, I finally saw clearly that its face looked almost like an old man's face, except that the face was wrinkled and dark. The eyes were big and bright, and the pupils were purple-red, spreading, and occasionally
Opening the mouth, a pair of snow-white fangs are densely interlaced; there is not much hair on the face and neck, but the body does have fluffy green hair, which is now mixed with gray-white glutinous rice, and turns black as if being burned; like an ape, there is a section
It has a small tail, sharp claws on its limbs, and five-fingered hands.
The most important thing is that it really has a red straw hat on its head.
This straw hat is woven from the roots of a red fern. It is very rough and rough, as if it was made by a child. But if it was made by a short mule, it would be surprising. The straw hat is in the shape of a bird's nest and fits neatly.
Attached to its head, there were a lot of white and black pulpy soil, bird feathers, animal hair and many unknown things. These looked disgusting, but I was very happy and carefully removed them from the net.
I pulled out the hat and put it away. My uncle looked at it for a while and asked me: "What are you going to do with this thing?"
I shook my head and said I had never thought about it. My uncle said excitedly: "At dawn tomorrow, we will go down the mountain and take it to the Forestry Bureau. This is a rare animal. If you offer it up, you might get a bonus. Xiao Zuo, you are really good at this.
I have always heard that there is such a thing from the elders, but I have never seen it for most of my life, and you caught it. It’s awesome. It’s awesome.” I smiled bitterly, if it weren’t for the method of catching dwarf mules in that shabby book.
With those few handfuls of glutinous rice thrown out, how could I possibly catch this little thing that was as fast as a phantom?
If not...I don't know how I died.
Li Decai on the side rubbed his hands and said worriedly: "This dwarf mule is a mountain ghost raised by the landlady in the mountain forest. Let's let it go. If they notice it and come to retaliate another day, how many lives will it cost?"
I can’t even survive.”
"Are you afraid of a dick?" the uncle said nonchalantly.
The two of them were in a quarrel, and then my uncle asked me what to do. After all, I was the one who caught him. All I could think of now was to take this straw hat home quickly and purchase related things to cure the poison. How could I care about this? Look at the two of them.
The argument turned red and my neck was thick, so I said, don't you have a leader? Just call me tomorrow morning and ask for instructions. Now the two of them stopped arguing. The uncle said yes, while Li Decai was worried and didn't say anything, igniting
I bought a Jiaxiu cigarette and squatted on the doorstep to smoke.
It was almost five o'clock at this time. Summer dawns early, and it will be dawn in more than half a century. I stayed up all night and was very sleepy, so I asked my uncle to help take care of it and climbed into bed myself to go to sleep.
Before going to bed, I specially wrapped the straw hat in a plastic bag and put it in the travel bag I brought with me. I was so sleepy that I almost fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed and closed my eyes, and I didn’t know that it was over.
Not long after, I vaguely heard a rumbling sound somewhere. At first I thought it was a dream, but then I was shaken awake by a big warm hand. I opened it with difficulty and found my uncle standing with blood on his face.
in front of me.
I quickly got up and asked what was going on. My uncle screamed "Ouch, ouch, ouch", obviously in great pain. I remembered that he said there was wound medicine in the desk drawer, so he jumped out of bed barefoot and went to the washstand to get it first.
I brought a towel to wipe his face, then I went through the drawer and found a white-gray powdery hemostatic medicine. I got some water and helped him wipe away the blood on his left face. I saw four bloody scratches.
He applied the medicinal powder bit by bit and asked where was Li Decai?
The uncle endured the pain and said that this guy was crazy. He actually let that dwarf mule go. He didn't know where he went. He also said that he was caught by that dead dwarf mule. He was so vicious.
Very good. I felt regretful in my heart. If I hadn't brought this ghost thing back, my uncle wouldn't be like this. After I helped him wrap it up, I helped him dial the number of the duty room of the County Forestry Bureau.
The phone call took a long time, and it took almost twenty minutes to get through. My uncle reported the situation. The people over there were anxious and told me and my uncle to stay in the forest guard house first. They immediately notified colleagues from the township forestry station to come over.
Respond to rescue.
While waiting, the uncle talked about the situation again, saying that the two of them were smoking and watching, but for some reason, Li Decai went crazy and pulled off the red thread at once, and then tied the rope.
He was free and couldn't stop him. My brother-in-law tried to stop him, but he punched him and knocked him to the ground. Before he could react, he saw the green-haired short mule jump out of the net and hit him in the face.
Grab a handful. The guy was too weak to continue grabbing, but ran down the slope. When my uncle got up, it was a mess, and even the bastard Li Decai was gone.
Since we didn't dare to go out alone, we waited for three hours. At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Decai had not come back, which made us even more worried. Finally, there was a knock on the door, and four of my uncle's colleagues came in, all dressed in clothes.
Dew, one of them was carrying a shotgun.
After explaining the situation clearly, they agreed that two people would stay and wait for Li Decai, and the two of them would take my brother-in-law down the mountain first.
After a lot of twists and turns, we didn’t arrive at the County People’s Hospital until around one o’clock noon.
I stayed in the hospital until about seven o'clock in the evening. After the suturing operation, my uncle who regained consciousness advised me to go back first because the treatment was more important. My uncle has two children, an eighteen-year-old son and a fifteen-year-old daughter.
My aunt looked at me with a somewhat unkind look, and the doctor said there might be scars on my face. They probably thought it was me who caused my brother-in-law's condition.
I felt very regretful in my heart and didn't say anything more.
Although my uncle was considered a work-related injury and received public-funded medical treatment, I still handed over 20,000 yuan to my aunt the next day as work and nutrition expenses.
Since my aunt and cousins did not welcome me, I stopped checking these things after that. I returned home and followed the instructions in the book to purchase the uterine blood from black donkeys, black dogs, and black cats.
Cinnabar, Bupleurum, Toad Extract, Purple Snow, Amber, Silkworm Cocoon, Bezoar, Whole Scorpion and Dannanxing, boil these together with the disassembled Dragon Fern Grass for three days and three nights, and boil a large pot of herbal water into a bowl of black tea soup.
, after cooling it with water from the well behind the Dunzhai Temple Dojo, at midnight, I endured nausea and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking it, I felt relaxed all over my body, and my heart seemed much more spacious.
As a result, more than an hour later, I started to have diarrhea. I started to have loose stools, and then started to pass out thick black blood. The blood was also mixed with unknown pieces of flesh, thin slough, silk flocculation, and cuticles. In the end, there was almost nothing left.
I had diarrhea, and it felt like it was a line from my throat to my anus. The air I exhaled from the top was followed by stinky farts from the bottom. Moreover, I was sweating like pulp and dehydrated a lot. My father was scooping water for me next to the toilet. After a few days,
Feed me a spoonful every minute.
Later, the old man couldn't bear it anymore, so he put the bucket of boiling water next to him and went outside to breathe.
So I squatted and drank water while defecating. That night, I almost collapsed in the toilet and almost didn't survive.
I was raised at home for three days, just like fellow women who were undergoing confinement. They didn't leave the house and couldn't see the wind. My mother made old hen soup for me to drink every day without adding salt. The taste... Until now, every time I
When I went out to eat and someone ordered chicken soup, I wouldn't take even a sip because I was afraid of drinking it at that time. On the morning of the fourth day, I felt a little better and was about to go out to see the sunshine, but I heard someone
There were several voices talking in the main room.
After a while, my door was pushed open and several policemen walked in.
They told me that I was involved in a case of corpse dismemberment, and they asked me to go back and investigate this time.
