Chapter 10: The imp begs for adoption
Someone immediately searched the body of Qing Yanzi, and only found a warm egg from the old school uniform.
It was apparently his breakfast, and the wooden box contained gruel and pickles, apparently he had come to deliver food to the family. I heard the blind old man in the village say that in the past two years, the young man has been taking care of Wang Baosong and his wife, delivering food rain or shine.
Two years ago (last year and this year), how old was Qing Yanzi? Eleven, or twelve?
After searching his body and finding nothing, the police let go of Qing Yanzi and told him that the police were handling the case and asked him to go away. He obeyed, walked outside the courtyard, and spat hatefully on the ground. I felt that he was looking at me, and the child's eyes made me feel a little uncomfortable, so I went into the house. It was still wet and hot and hot inside, there was a strange smell, the light was turned on, and I saw Luo Ermei being lifted up by several men, while Wang Baosong was cuffed to the ground by two burly police officers.
Second Sister Luo was telling them: "He's just a madman, don't embarrass him." โ
Yesterday the light was dim, I didn't see Luo Ermei clearly, I only felt that the description was withered, and when I saw her today, I found that she was almost as thin as a mummy, her body was full of bones, and her face was very terrifying. I know that people who generally raise Gu, learn black witchcraft, and deal with ghosts every day will have their yang energy taken away and their luck corroded, and if there is no method, their appearance will be terrifying, and their fate will not end well. I didn't believe it when I read it in the book before, but when I see it today, my heart is even colder.
Wang Baosong struggled to be pressed out, while Second Sister Luo looked at me and smiled: "It's really blue." She smiled weirdly. I asked her yesterday's little ghost, where did she find the body? She said yes, I forgot about it, the bones of the little ghost are buried under the bed, as for where to find them? Whoever commits iniquity will find it in whomever he is.
Luo Ermei was paralyzed in bed and couldn't walk, several police officers wrapped her in quilts, and the dripping places at her feet left a lot of fishy water, which made them uncomfortable and quickly carried them to the yard. I feel like this old man's life is coming to an end. Ma Haibo interjected next to him and asked what kind of ghost he was. I didn't tell him about last night, I just told him, didn't you mention to me last time about the death of a young girl and the theft of her body.
Ma Haibo seriously? I said I couldn't lie to you.
He was now convinced of my words, and hurriedly called the two officers who were collecting evidence in the room to find a hoe and a crowbar, and I pushed the bed a little inside, designating a point with a strong corpse smell for them, and told them to dig carefully. The floor was a plank, but it was rotten, and when it was easy to get rid of it, the two stick boys began to pick up their hoes and dig up the earth, while I looked around the room for something peculiar.
I dug out some wooden thorns, silver rings, incense candles, and other bits and pieces from a wooden box, and found several wooden carved statues of gods in the shrine, jars, a pile of herbs, incense ash, peach wood, and broken bones...... and a small porcelain pot doll that comes to life. At this time, someone called for digging, and I moved to the bed, only to see that in the pit next to a pile of hard mud and rammed earth, there was a thin-skinned coffin with a length of 50 centimeters, and the smell was overwhelming.
I hurriedly asked for all the windows of the house to be opened, and then I told them to find a wet towel to cover their faces, squat down, and knock the coffin open with a pry of nails they handed me. When I opened the coffin, I found that inside was a gray skeleton shelf, not large, and all the flesh inside was rotten, turning into a mass of flesh and blood, and countless white maggots crawled and intertwined on it.
At this moment, I couldn't help it anymore, to his grandmother's high-ranking image, I ran out of the wooden house with a rolling belt, lying on the wooden shelf, a stream of acid water sprayed out, and this vomit was simply a chain reaction, my stomach began to make a revolution, countless swelling gas churned up, yesterday's lunch, dinner all threw up to me at once, some were more urgent, and even squirted out of the nose. And when I vomited until I had only sour water left in my stomach, I found that there were several buddies around me who kept me in this position.
Ma Haibo came out with a towel covering his nose, and when he saw the filth we vomited, his face turned white again. He saw that I was better, and then said, "I closed the coffin, and when the time comes, I will bring it back and let the technical department check it, and I will know if the Dao is wrong?" Alas, I've been a policeman for twenty years, what haven't I seen? Only this time, it's really fucking evil. โ
I was afraid that he didn't cover the coffin properly, made a taboo, and there was a corpse gas overflowing, so I forcibly endured the disgust in my heart and went in to see. Walking back into the house, I took a look at the small coffin, which was nailed up seamlessly. I waved at Ma Haibo at the door, indicating that it was okay. Everything is done, and the final result is only waiting for them to interrogate, this ghost place, I don't want to stay for more than a second, so I raised my legs and prepared to leave, but I didn't expect to be able to walk.
Looking down at my feet, I was startled - a little girl with a pink carving was holding my legs, her little face flushed. I looked out the door and found that Ma Haibo was directing a few police officers, and I didn't notice anything unusual on my side at all. I looked down and asked her, "What are you going to do?" The little girl shook her head, pointing to the small coffin over there and opening her mouth.
I asked her, "Do you want me to bury you?" โ
She shook her head.
I asked, "Do you want me to help you survive the undead?" โ
She shook her head, desperately shaking her head, looking at me in horror. I smiled and said, "You're not going to ask me to take you away, are you?" โ
She finally nodded, with a smile on her face, like a pleasing puppy. I'm a little embarrassed, what's the matter with a big man and a little ghost? Besides, I don't really know how to raise imps. When she saw my embarrassment, she jumped up, found a broom and swept the floor, and rubbed my clothes again, seeing that I didn't respond, she was so anxious that she cried.
Seeing her pitiful look, the softest place in my heart was inexplicably touched, and my heart was sour. I asked her, "How can I take you away?" Where do you usually live? "If she lived in a coffin, to be honest, I would have decisively refusedโafter all, I don't have the psychological quality of a professional goddess. Luckily, she pointed to the porcelain pot doll on the shrine.
I picked up the palm-sized porcelain jar and found that there was a switch near the doll's neck, and when I opened it, there was a small space inside that contained a little black hair, bones, ash and oil, separated by a membrane, but it would not spill. I said okay, I'll take you away, but if you don't obey, I'll throw you out into the sun. She shook her head in fright, and then nodded like a chick pecking rice, which made me laugh. I lifted the porcelain jar, and she immediately turned into a white thread and got into it.
"Lu Zuo, Lu Zuo...... "Ma Haibo came over to push me, I said what's wrong?" He smiled, his face was a little wrong, and he asked what are you muttering here alone? I asked, "Don't you see anything?" Ma Haibo said curtly, don't scare me. I said okay, just kidding, and then raised the porcelain jar in my hand and said I'm going to take this back, no problem, right?
What does Ma Haibo say? I shook my head, pretended to be mysterious, and told him not to ask, I'll take it back and deal with it.
He didn't talk about any principles at this time, nodded and said you take it. At this time, someone came in and called, saying that the car was coming, and asked me if I wanted to go back to the county seat. Naturally, I didn't want to stay in this hellish place any longer, so I said let's go back together. When I got out of the yard, I saw that the young man was still waiting on the ridge at the door, and I ignored him and let the boy be hostile to me.
"You're a traitor, you're a traitor to our Miao family......" he shouted at me angrily.
I looked back at him, and he was even more energetic, and spat at me: "Phew, you guys have driven Uncle Baosong crazy, and you are going to kill Granny Luo, you foreigners...... You, you traitor to the Miao family, still help them! "His accent was mixed with the pronunciation of Hmong, and I had a hard time hearing it, but I could see that his eyes were very resentful. At his age, his eyes are bright, and his view of the world has been formed, and he is stubborn, extreme, and indignant...... I looked at such a pair of eyes, and I had a feeling of speechlessness. In the courtyard, two policemen who stayed behind came to pull him: "What do you know, child, go, go!" โ
I didn't speak, turned and left. The policeman in the back was still teaching him: "This Granny Luo has violated the royal law, no matter who it is, she will be taught a lesson......
In the car, I explained to Ma Haibo about removing the residual poison from the two injured young policemen, and also told him that after I went back, I would also buy some water chestnuts, no matter how many, sliced and dried as the end, take two yuan every morning, and send them down with hollow white boiling soup. For a week, do not stop, so that the Gu poison can be exhausted.
After saying this, when I arrived in Qingmeng Township, I refused their retention and took a shuttle bus back to the county seat alone.
It was only 12 o'clock at noon when I arrived in the county seat, so I hastily ate a fast food outside, and then bought some nutritional products to visit my uncle at the county people's hospital. When I came to the ward, I met my cousin Xiaojing, she looked at me, didn't call me, just snorted and turned her head. My uncle was still enthusiastic, beckoned me to sit down, and asked me if I had gained anything from going to Qingshan Realm this time.
The uncle's face has been stitched up, and now it is wrapped in a thick white veil, I asked him how his condition is, and he said that it is fine, as for the scar...... Men, they don't eat with their faces. Xiaojing said angrily next to her, with a few scars, like a hooligan. The uncle yelled at her, saying that why don't children understand anything? Xiaojing stood up and glared at me and ran out, while I persuaded my uncle not to be angry, and the adolescent little girl was like this. I didn't say too many words of apology, so I told him about what happened in Segai Village.
Uncle was silent for a while and asked me, "Do you really have a Golden Silkworm Gu on you?" โ
When I said yes, he grabbed my hand and said to me, "You must not tell this to outsiders in the future, and it is better not to let others see it." Although your uncle and I have been in the mountains and forests for half our lives, we still understand a little bit of people's hearts. In ancient times, there was a guilty person, you are also a baby, too many people know the way, but it brings you trouble, do you know the way? โ
I nodded, in understanding. Uncle sighed and said, "My face is not a big problem, and it will only be a few shallow scars at that time, and there will be publicly-funded medical treatment, so don't take it too seriously." I don't have a chance in my life, Xiaohua and Xiaojing are slowly growing up again, they have a temperament, it's not good, I'm not at ease, if there are any difficulties in the future, you can help. Also, the money you gave your aunt is too much, I asked her to return it to you......"
I hurriedly waved my hand and said no, and said that Xiaohua Xiaojing's matter is not my business, and I will definitely help.
After some excuses, the uncle didn't say anything more, and talked about Li Decai, saying that there was still no whereabouts. People have also been searched several times in this wild forest, but there is no sign. The uncle sighed, hated him at first, and now he was very worried.
I stayed in the hospital for more than an hour and then went to the bus station to take the shuttle back home.
Although I reported my safety before, my parents were still happy to see that I came back safely, but some idlers next to me were quite disappointed, and ran over to ask long and short questions, the center meant how to let me go again. I didn't bother to pay attention to this, closed the door, put away the porcelain jar where the little ghost was stored, and seriously studied the broken book that my grandmother had left me.
What happened in the past few days has taught me a truth, my grandmother has left me a fortune, a great fortune, which can turn decay into magic and bring me to an extraordinary world, but if I don't make good use of it, I will go down to her old house at any time to catch up with her old man - to be honest, because I was afraid of my grandmother since I was a child, we didn't communicate much.
"The Twelve Methods of Suppressing the Mountains" has a total of thirteen articles, each with dozens of pages, almost more than 100,000 words of text, annotations and comprehension of the same number of words, and many illustrations, atlases, etc., to be honest, it was really difficult for me to grasp for a while. But when I learned that this was all very useful knowledge, I was now very motivated.
I read it with relish until late at night, until the moon set west and the bugs sighed, and I was disturbed by sleepiness.
In a daze, I saw my grandmother again.
