This air flow was very light, but I instantly caught their existence. I was very excited, so I hurriedly raised the soul-drawing flag, chanted the soul-drawing sentences I had just learned from Chen Xuanyi, and shouted loudly.
Not long after, the two streams of air started to circle around the soul-inducing flag. One of them went in smoothly, but the other stream was wandering around, as if it was a little afraid to step forward. It was probably in the mountains and fields.
I have been wandering for so long that I can no longer remember the way home.
I didn't care. I swung the soul-guiding flag forward and covered it on the second mass of air. Then I took it back, held it in my backhand, and walked lightly towards Chen Xuanyi. It's done!
Chen Xuanyi also stopped reciting the incantation, took one of the soul-inducing flags in his hand, felt it carefully, and then nodded, indicating that he could go back.
Before leaving, I looked back at the woods again. In the mist, I always felt as if there was a pair of eyes staring at me in the dark. Unfortunately, the woods were too dense, covering up the moonlight that should have fallen.
It was quiet and gloomy. I looked back twice but found nothing. I thought it was an illusion and ignored it.
After struggling for most of the night, it was not until the sun was about to rise the next day that Chen Xuanyang and I returned to the town. Wang Jie had already escorted the two wounded people to the hospital in advance. I went up to inquire about the situation, and Wang Jie told me with a wry smile,
It was said that one of the injured was hit in the stomach by a fang while fighting with the wild boar spirit, and was almost disemboweled. He had been transferred to the city.
There was another injured person, my uncle, who had two broken ribs while fighting the wild boar spirit and was hospitalized upstairs.
After listening, I threw all the soul-drawing flags to Chen Xuanyi, and then hurriedly walked upstairs.
It was already dawn now. I opened the door and found that my uncle had gauze wrapped around his chest and was lying on the hospital bed to rest. Standing beside the bed was a middle-aged woman who was my aunt.
When I pushed the door open and walked in, my aunt immediately glared at me with resentful eyes. Her eyes were very unfriendly. She probably thought that it was me who caused my uncle to become like this.
Without saying a word, I walked to the hospital bed and asked about my uncle's physical condition. He sighed and said that the doctor had done a check-up and it was nothing serious. He just had a few broken ribs and needed to rest for a while.
As I said that, my uncle actually stretched out his hand and asked me if I had brought a cigarette. I smiled bitterly and said why should I smoke when I was so injured? I should take a good rest and quit smoking by the way.
As a result, my aunt spoke at this time, with a very sour tone, saying that your uncle is now so injured that he won't be able to go to the ground for several months. The old sow at home that can give birth to cubs has also died. Your cousin still needs so much tuition and fees to go to college.
, but what should I do? It’s all because our family’s ancestral graves were not buried well, and we ended up living like this on a birthday.
After hearing this, I felt bad inside and lowered my head without saying a word. Maybe I thought what my aunt said was not pleasant, so my uncle also did the same thing and scolded her, saying, "What do you know about being a woman?" If my aunt doesn't do it, she will have sex with her in front of the doctor.
He made a fuss, so I quickly stood up and said that the idea was mine, and it was my fault for causing my uncle to be hospitalized, and I would pay part of the medical expenses.
The aunt then gave up, crossed her arms again, and said in a strange tone, "Being in a hospital will not only cost you medical expenses, but also nutritional expenses and so on..."
I nodded with a smile, walked out of the ward in a bitter tone, and went to the only place in town where I could withdraw money. I took out 20,000 in cash, and then handed it over to my aunt with my own hands, finally blocking her mouth.
Fortunately, when I was in Majiang County last time, I made a fortune from that string of pendants. Apart from the expenses for more than a month, I still had a lot of spare money on hand, so it was not difficult to come up with 20,000 yuan.
Because of this, my uncle had another quarrel with my aunt, accusing her of being greedy. I stood at the door and didn't know whether I should try to persuade her. When my aunt left angrily, I walked into the ward with a smile and tried to persuade her.
Uncle, don't be angry. The whole family should be harmonious. Besides, he was injured and hospitalized. I am indeed responsible for it.
The uncle sighed, then grabbed my hand again and asked me where I got so much money. I smiled and said that I had done a few businesses after graduating from college and saved up. He said oh, no.
Talk again.
Then I exited the ward and came downstairs again. By this time, Chen Xuanyi had completed all the soul-summoning rituals. Haozi, including Wang Jie's cousin, also woke up from their trance and gradually regained consciousness.
I can also move.
I bought some more fruits and visited the two wards respectively. When it was Haozi's turn, he looked excited and took my hand and said, "Xiaofeng, thank you so much this time. I heard the master tell me to summon the soul for me."
It's your fault as well. It's so kind of you that you haven't forgotten the love we had when we were children."
I smiled and comforted him, saying that you just woke up and your body may not be used to it yet. You should continue to sleep for a while. You can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow if you feel refreshed. Please remember not to go hunting over there in the Bearman Ridge anymore, deep in the mountains and old forests.
It's very unsafe, you know?
Haozi's face was full of bitterness, and he said that if he couldn't go hunting there, where else could he go? The conditions in the mountains were harsh, and he had a younger sister to raise, so he couldn't feed his family just by digging food from the soil.
I thought about it and said that you have a smart mind and worked as an apprentice in a restaurant for two years. Why don't you open a shop in the city and start a regular business?
He said he wanted to, but where would the capital come from? I rolled my eyes and remembered that I still had a lot of money left on my card, so I discussed with Haozi that I could contribute the capital to open a store, and then Haozi would provide the skills, and we
First set up a place to do it and give it a try.
He was a little surprised, looked at me for a long time, and said what if we lose money? I laughed and said that if we lose money, we should treat it as a lesson. I have the funds anyway, so what are you afraid of?
Haozi thought for a while, but did not agree immediately. He asked me to give him two days to go home and think about it carefully. I said, if you think about it, you can call me at any time to tell me your decision.
After chatting for a while, I walked out of the ward, and the depression in my chest was gone. Just as I was about to take out the cigarette case, I saw Chen Xuanyi walking towards me with a smile, and he was back to his previous unscrupulous appearance.
I hurried up to greet him and thanked him. He took the greatest credit for this "soul-calling ceremony", but he was not proud. Instead, he was very shy. He waved his hand to me and said that it all depended on everyone's cooperation. Otherwise,
He can't succeed either.
He is a humble man, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and he gives off a very gentle feeling. I patted Chen Xuanyi on the shoulder and asked him where he planned to go next. He shook his head and said with a smile that there is nothing left to do until the world of mortals refines the heart.
What matters is spontaneity.
To be honest, I admire this man very much, not only for his Taoist methods, but more importantly for his open-minded heart. People in the mortal world are often bound by the world. How can they be like Chen Xuanyi, anytime and anywhere?
Everyone is preparing for a trip that can be taken at any time.
I was very reluctant to leave, so I told him my home address and mobile phone number. Then I held Chen Xuanyi's hand and said goodbye reluctantly, "Although we have only been together for a short time, I feel that getting along with you is the best."
It tastes very good. If you pass by Yunkai Market in the future, please feel free to contact me."
Some people, just at first glance, think they should be friends. There is no doubt that Chen Xuanyi is such a person.
He memorized my mobile phone number in his mind, then nodded with a smile and said yes!
