At this time, things came to a deadlock. I was not Di Renjie, I was just a country boy who couldn't even find a job in a third-rate university. This made me very difficult to deal with. At this time, Bai Zhenzhu's mother-in-law who stopped me just now pulled me aside.
Son, said: Brother, I am Pearl’s cousin. Let me tell you a honest word. My girl is a sharp-tongued girl with a sharp mouth and a soft heart. I don’t even dare to kill people. How evil can she be? There must be some misunderstanding about this matter. Villagers
Folks, what's the point of being around like this? My little brother is a cultured person. Let's find a few sensible people to sit down and have a good talk. Especially Erdan, we have to wake up now. We can only wake up Erdan. What's the matter?
You already understand, right?
This person spoke in a measured manner, making every word unreasonable. He also flattered me by the way, which made me feel comfortable. He nodded and said: Brother, what you said makes sense. OK, that’s it.
Do it like this.
After another round of persuasion, my father even came and assured everyone with his old face that his son Xiaofan and I would definitely be able to give everyone an explanation before the Lin family dispersed. That Bai Zhenzhu’s cousin
She also asked her mother-in-law to return to the village, but her father stopped her, saying that she was a guest and they had to drink two cups of tea before leaving. But this was such a big deal that they were not in the mood to stay.
In the end, Grandpa Seven, Lin Luzi, my dad, me, and my aunt who saw Bai Zhenzhu beating someone were left behind.
On the other side, Bai Zhenzhu’s cousin, sister-in-law, and parents who were left behind came into Lin Erdan’s house to talk things over. Seeing this scene, I finally understood the principle of family and everything being prosperous. Husband and wife don’t care about each other.
Harmony, in fact, is affected by the parents of both parties. Of course, this is off topic, so I won’t say more about it for now.
When I entered the house, Bai Zhenzhu had already strengthened and acted like the hostess of the house. She made tea for everyone and helped Lin Erdan's parents who were sitting in the yard angrily talking to each other, but
How could these two old people give her a good look? This would have required me to persuade her hard in the past.
But the two families were sitting here talking about things, and they couldn't explain why. No one here wrongly accused Bai Zhenzhu, but Bai Zhenzhu said that he didn't fight. In the end, Lin Erdan and his father were very angry.
He jumped up, pointed at his face and said: If you didn't hit me, I would have wronged you because of my age. You didn't scratch my face, I did it myself.
Dad is really not me. As Bai Zhenzhu spoke, she knelt down in tears again.
At this time, my silent father smoked a cigarette and frowned: Relative, I don’t know whether I should say something or not. Is there anything wrong with Pearl’s head? I mean it was something like intermittent mental disorder.
I thought my father's words were going to make Bai Zhenzhu's family members angry. Sure enough, Bai Zhenzhu's parents immediately became angry, saying that my father would not be able to live his life without taking care of this destructive daughter.
Fortunately, Bai Zhenzhu and his cousin understood the truth and worked hard to calm down the angry old man.
Bai Zhenzhu’s cousin said: Uncle, I have thought about this too, but we have watched Zhenzhu grow up, so what’s the problem?
Now his father suddenly looked like he was in charge of the military, especially the dry pipe, which added a lot to his image. He asked Bai Zhenzhu: "Zhen Zhenzhu, you said last night that you didn't beat your parents-in-law, and you didn't hit your father-in-law."
Then do you know what you did last night? Did you quarrel with Erdan?
Uncle, it was hot. After I finished eating and feeding the pigs, I went back to my room to fan myself. I fell asleep while fanning myself. I didn’t even dream. When I woke up in the morning, I was surrounded by uncles and aunts.
Yes, I was still confused at that time. Bai Zhenzhu said.
Yes, I guess this happened to Pearl. She was sleepwalking in her sleep last night. Sister-in-law, when you saw Pearl fighting with Erdan and you guys last night, you didn’t feel there was anything strange about Pearl. Father
He also asked Lin Erdan’s parents.
The two couples were also questioned at once, and finally it was Lin Erdan and his father who said: We ran out when we heard the noise, and we were thinking about why the two enemies were fighting again, so we came to start a fight, but she turned around and turned towards us.
The two of them fought, and if you want to say there is something strange about it, it is true. Pearl is his daughter-in-law. Although she looks tall, you still don’t know that I, brother, am also the dealer, and so is Erdan.
A strong young man can really fight. Pearl is still a woman and is not as strong as the two of us, but last night, she could lift both of us up with one hand.
I felt a chill running down my spine after hearing this, what the hell is there such a thing?
Then last night you fought with Pearl for such a long time. She didn't say anything and her father asked again.
No, he didn’t say anything, just like a lunatic. Lin Erdan, his mother said.
The father patted his thigh and said, "Okay, this is cleared up. Last night, Pearl went to bed, but she was probably sleepwalking. Don't ask her about the fight with the three of you. What kind of sleepwalker does she have?"
I can't remember either. Don't blame your daughter-in-law. Pearl is usually not bad to you and your wife. Take a look at Erdanzi quickly. He should be sent to the hospital. He should be sent to the hospital. See what happened.
But if she was sleepwalking, I asked how Sister-in-law Pearl had such great strength.
My father glared at me and refused to let me speak.
Things seem to be solved here, and the mystery can be solved. I didn't expect that my father, who is usually quiet and inconspicuous, can be so wise. I have to give him a thumbs up.
Since he was sleepwalking, he couldn't help it, and Lin Erdan's parents were not that angry. The villagers all thought better of it. Even Lin Luzi, who had a rare stubborn temper, expressed his humility to Bai Zhenzhu, saying that he was uneducated and had wronged you.
Sorry, I'm going to go to the mountains to set traps, catch a few rabbits and come back to replenish your health, then I'll leave.
A few of us went to the back room to see how Lin Erdan was doing. As we approached the back room, I noticed something was wrong with Lin Erdan. He was lying flat on his back, trembling all over, and his whole face was pale.
There is no trace of popularity at all. It can be said that if he didn't tremble, you wouldn't even be able to tell whether he was a living person or not.
I walked over and touched his forehead, and found that his whole body was extremely cold. When Bai Zhenzhu saw Lin Erdan acting like this, he ran over and slapped his own ear again, crying profusely.
This situation is not good. I probably need to be sent to the hospital. I said.
That's it, I'm going to find a motorcycle right now to go fast. Bai Zhenzhen said to his cousin.
I nodded, thinking so, but at this moment, Lin Erdan’s mother approached Lin Erdan and pinched Lin Erdan’s person with her thumb. This is a common method, which is generally used for unconscious people.
They all use this method.
At the same time, Erdan and his mother shouted: Erdan, my baby. Come back, come back, mother is here.
This is another method in the countryside, specializing in treating people who have lost their souls. My grandma used to do this when I had a high fever when I was a child. She said that when a person is frightened, his soul will leave the body. Go to the place where he was frightened and call his name.
It can bring back lost souls. Who knows whether it will be effective or not?
I didn’t even have any hope. Bai Zhenzhu’s cousin stood up to say goodbye to us and was about to leave. But at this time, Lin Erdan’s mother suddenly shouted in surprise: Erdan, wake up.
When I took a look, I found that Erdan had really opened his eyes.
But the first thing Erdan said to his mother was: Guizhen, you are here too
Guizhen is Lin Erdan’s mother’s name. Is Lin Erdan crazy? He dares to call his mother by her name.
But the next moment, he actually looked at his father and said: Oh, Donkey's brother, you are here too.
This donkey's brother must be Lin Erdan's father.
My face turned pale when I heard him say the second sentence, because the voice Lin Erdan spoke at this time turned out to be the voice of Third Grandpa.
There were so many people, and it was still broad daylight. When everyone else was in a daze, I had the courage to ask: Third Grandpa
Lin Erdan turned his head, glanced at me, then his eyes became round and shouted: It's you
He seemed to be very, very afraid of me. His body, which was so weak just now, actually jumped out of bed like a monkey in the blink of an eye, knocked away his mother, and ran out.
He is possessed by Third Grandpa. Hurry up and catch up with him. I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and shouted to the person who was still in a daze.
The one who reacted the fastest among the crowd was Bai Zhenzhu. She almost ran over with her whole strong body as soon as Lin Erdan rushed out.
Everyone in the room who was shocked and dazed also rushed over. Suddenly, my father and I were the only ones left. My father glanced at me and said with a wry smile: Xiaofan, actually I saw what happened early in the morning.
It's over. White Pearl can't be that strong. She's possessed by a ghost.
Dad, don't think so much. This matter has nothing to do with the ever-burning lanterns in the ancestral hall, and no one can blame us. I know why my father has always been worried.
I was supposed to take care of the evergreen lantern, which was my grandfather's business. My family told the villagers, but now that the evergreen lantern has gone out, the originally peaceful village began to experience evil, and it started with my grandfather. It's not that I was afraid of being talked about by the villagers.
Rather, he felt that he was a sinner and the culprit who made the village uneasy.
I hope I can find Mr. Xu and come back as soon as possible. I hope there is only one Lin Erdan. My father sighed and took me out of Lin Erdan's house.
After I went out, in midsummer, under the blazing sun, I was a little dazed. What I had experienced before, whether it was my second uncle or Xu Lin, I was very familiar with their routines, either from other books or from movies.
Found a replica of the spell they cast. But this time it was completely different from the one in the movie.
At noon, a ghost came over me.
Lin Erdan, who was possessed by a ghost, could actually run wildly under the sun.
Who the hell told me that ghosts are afraid of sunlight?
