Chapter 2 Night Crying Man

While grandma was talking to Uncle Wang, I secretly poured the realgar wine that grandma had prepared for me into the flowerpot.

Yesterday I went up the mountain to catch the wind and got a fever, so I took a few cephalosporins.

Therefore, I dare not drink.

I thought that since I had been drinking since I was a child, it would be okay if I didn’t drink for a day.

Moreover, I only regarded these bizarre things my grandma told me as superstitious stories to coax children.

Snakes offer jobs to people?

How is that possible?

Even Liaozhai would not dare to write this!

"Girl!"

Suddenly, grandma looked at me with her empty eye sockets.

"Go with your Uncle Wang to 'do good deeds'!"

Grandma refers to doing things for others as "doing good deeds".

"I?"

I pointed to my nose, a little in disbelief.

"It's time to put the things I taught you to use! Remember..." Suddenly, grandma looked serious. "Don't take the waterway!"

…

Although I was reluctant, I took Uncle Wang's tractor and went to Wu's house.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the hospital, I heard the cry of a baby.

Regardless of the pain in my buttocks, I quickly got out of the car.

When I walked into the yard, I happened to see a young couple shaking their baby back and forth.

The child in his arms cried so hard that his face turned red and his voice became hoarse.

"Can you do it?" Uncle Wang asked suspiciously.

In his eyes, maybe I am just a young girl with yellow hair.

It doesn't look very reliable.

"Okay!" I nodded firmly.

Since grandma can let me come here alone, she must be an ordinary night cry man.

Just follow the method my grandma taught me and just go through the process.

No big deal, bring grandma over again.

In my opinion, if a baby cries, it does not mean he is sick because he is hungry.

It would be too hasty to directly ask someone to ‘do it’.

But the people in our village are not superstitious.

I walked to the center of the yard and laid out the mustard mat.

After quickly braiding a straw dog, place it next to it.

Take out the cinnabar and yellow paper.

Grind cinnabar into ink and dip it in with a brush.

Treat the rain as your king and the ghosts as your ministers.

At the end of the word ghost, write the word "quiet".

A spell is drawn.

I have long remembered every step my grandma taught me.

Even though this is the first time to practice.

"Put the baby up!"

After hearing what I said, the Wu couple hurriedly put the baby on the straw mat.

And I put the charm on the straw dog next to me.

I took out my mobile phone and turned on the positioning function. I followed the arrow and turned twice before I found North.

The thumb, index finger, little finger, and fingertips touch each other.

The other fingers are bent and merged.

"The beginning of spring, the awakening of insects, the seeds of light..."

Before I could read the tenth word, the baby suddenly stopped crying.

A ball of brown liquid seeped out from under him.

Uncle Wang hurried over and picked up the baby, but there was no dirt left on the straw mat.

But the straw dog turned brown.

how so?

Could it be that grandma tampered with the mat?

But that straw dog was made by me myself!

Flustered, I quickly picked up the straw dog and handed it to the couple.

"Burn!"

"Okay, okay!"

The couple nodded in succession and scooped me a handful of rice respectfully.

I opened my cloth bag and caught it directly.

It is Zhu Youshi's rule to only take food but not money.

Uncle Wang put the baby in the cradle next to him and looked up at the sky.

"It's getting dark, I'll take you back!"

Before I could nod in agreement, there was sudden thunder outside the door.

When I opened the door, I saw heavy rain.

The heavy rain came unexpectedly and was so heavy that it covered the road in an instant.

Looking around, it looks like a vast ocean.

Why did it rain suddenly?

Because I have to go back to the city tomorrow, I checked the weather forecast.

There has been no rain for nearly half a month.

Besides, it's always dry here.

It rains only a few drops.

Without rain, crops cannot be grown, and most people go out to work to make a living.

And in the village, the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled.

The most important thing is that I have a headache when it rains.

"This day can change no matter how you say it!" Uncle Wang said, wrapping the towel around his neck on his head, "But fortunately I was prepared! Since the flood more than ten years ago, I built a small boat and kept going

Leave it in the courtyard! I’ll go back and get it for you!”

"Never go by water!"

Suddenly, I remembered what my grandma told me before she left.

When I was born, my grandmother calculated my destiny and said that I was born with water reversed by fire.

It is born towards fire and dies when exposed to water.

My father died in the flood that Uncle Wang said.

Therefore, my grandma would tell me to avoid water every day.

When she asked me not to take the waterway before leaving just now, I just felt weird.

Because our village and Uncle Wang’s village both have flat gravel roads.

There is no stream or river, so there is no waterway.

Unexpectedly...

"No need, Uncle Wang, I..."
