Chapter 13: A Life for a Life
Dad was bold, and stepped forward to take a flashlight to the well, only to see that the water in the well seemed to have reached the level of water that could be reached by reaching out, and the water was black and looked dirty, and exuded a foul smell of rotting corpses, bubbling upwards, and the water level continued to rise, and it was estimated that it would not take long for it to flow out.

Dad and they didn't dare to stay here for long, so they quickly went to look for me, and finally found me in a house, and when I entered the house, I saw that I was being held in the arms of the crazy woman, and it was estimated that I was fainted by the well and dragged back by this woman, and fortunately she was there, or I guess I would really be frozen to death by the well.
And this crazy woman is Cheng Lao Wu's widow and daughter-in-law, I really don't know how she survived alone in the past three years. And I heard my mother say that there was nothing in her house at that time except a dresser, and there were no posthumous photos at all, so what did I see that night?
Later, it was midnight when I was rescued from Mawang Village that day, and when I got home, I began to have a high fever, unconscious, my hands and feet were frozen, and I kept talking nonsense in my mouth.
But the effect is still not good, to the next day of the day, I finally slept peacefully, the fever also subsided, even how to scream can not wake up, occasionally wake up the family and talk to me, I uh-huh-ah promise two sentences and then groggy sleep.
At night, I would have a high fever and scream, and that night my voice would change, and sometimes I would giggle, and the laughter would be the same as that of the old lady I had seen.
My parents were frightened when they saw me like this, and they didn't have any ideas, so they had to call Grandpa Zhang, who asked the details of the day, and knew what the reason was for me, and found that the willow branches and other things were useless, and the willow branches that were lightly hit on my body were snatched and broken by me, and the yellow talismans that were painted on the side of the kang and on my body were all caught and eaten by me, and I giggled at them while eating, but these symptoms will return to the same way during the day, but I will become unconscious Grandpa Zhang sighed when he saw me like this, called my dad to his house and whispered to him: "Xiaohe is entangled by that old lady, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid he won't be saved in a few days, alas." ”
Listening to Grandpa Zhang's words, Dad couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked Grandpa Zhang if he had any way to crack it.
Grandpa Zhang didn't answer immediately, but took his father to a room where his family never let others in, the room was cleaned spotlessly, and there was a table inside, enshrined a spiritual seat, which was engraved: The spiritual seat of the teacher Yuan Zhengbang, and in the corner there was also a box made of camphor wood.
Grandpa Zhang walked to the spiritual position, respectfully poured three incense sticks to his mentor, and then knelt heavily on the ground with a "plop", bowed his head to his mentor's spiritual throne and said slowly: "Master, what you said back then has really come true, and the apprentice may not be able to go down to serve you in a short time!" With that, Grandpa Zhang knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the spiritual position, "Bang, bang, bang".
Seeing that Grandpa Zhang was also kowtowing hard, Dad was afraid that he would hurt his body, so he hurriedly stepped forward and helped Grandpa Zhang up.
After Grandpa Zhang got up, he instructed his father to go to the corner and move the box in front of him, and carefully opened the box for Grandpa Zhang, only to see that there was a robe and some charms and books inside, it seems that these should be the things that Grandpa Zhang used when he was young.
Grandpa Zhang took out the neatly folded robe and handed it to his father, and after his father took it up, Grandpa Zhang bent down and took out the book wrapped in several layers of cloth from the bottom of the box, touched it lightly with his fingertips, and caressed the book for a long time before muttering: "Yiping, this book was left to me by my master, if I can't come back this time, this book will be left to Xiaohe, maybe he can use it in the future." ”
"Uncle Zhang, don't go, I can't let you take risks for Xiaohe, you are so old, this child's life is like this, and it is his life if he can't live!" My dad heard that Grandpa Zhang was risking his life for me, so he hurriedly stopped him.
Hearing this, Grandpa Zhang stretched out his hand to interrupt his father's words, and resolutely replied: "Everyone has their own life and their own path, do you understand?"
"I know what I should do, you have to listen to my next words, remember, there was something I didn't tell you when I looked at Xiao He's life, Xiao He only has three souls and six spirits, so ghost things will be easy to find him, without that soul, he can only live to be in his twenties, because as his body grows, his soul can't keep up with the whole person's life will gradually dry up, but his noble life may really help him avoid this catastrophe."
"If he can overcome this hurdle this time, you can take him out of here, go as far as possible, and never come back."
"Uncle Zhang... After listening to Grandpa Zhang's words, my father didn't know what to say for a while, he wanted to save me, but he didn't want Grandpa Zhang to die for me.
Although Grandpa Zhang couldn't see it, he seemed to understand his father's thoughts, and raised his hand and patted his father's shoulder: "Yiping, you are a good boy, thanks to you for taking care of me all these years, Xiaohe is my grandson, it's okay, maybe there is no danger for me to go, when the time comes, you take me and let's go out for a walk and see." ”
Later, due to the urgency of time, Grandpa Zhang changed into a robe and took some exorcism props and asked his father to take him to the woods outside Mawang Village.
At night, Dad took Grandpa Zhang and the big black dog to the woods outside Mawang Village.
I never thought that when Grandpa Zhang arrived here, he stood on the spot for some reason when he was facing the direction of Mawang Village.
After a long time like this, gradually, Grandpa Zhang began to become inexplicably excited, and his tone changed greatly, muttering to himself: "I didn't expect it to be here, I have been looking for it for most of my life, but now it has appeared." ”
What is this in Grandpa Zhang's mouth? Nobody knows.
Later, when Grandpa Zhang wanted to enter the village, he resolutely refused to let his father accompany him, and he had to let his father go back.
He also told his father that no matter what he heard or saw, he should not enter the village unless it was after dawn.
Dad was worried about Grandpa Zhang's safety and had to follow, but Grandpa Zhang had no choice but to let my dad stay outside the woods, saying that following in would only hinder Grandpa Zhang, and Dad had to agree when he heard it.
When approaching the woods, Grandpa Zhang asked my father to point out the direction of his hometown for Grandpa Zhang, and Grandpa Zhang stood facing his hometown for a moment, as if recalling the past years, and said to himself, "Yuxi, we will see each other in the next life." ”
After that, Grandpa Zhang walked into the depths of the jungle without looking back, and his father watched Grandpa Zhang walk into the jungle step by step, looking at Grandpa Zhang's back, he always felt that there might be yin and yang separated in the future, so he wanted to stand there all the time, looking, looking...
