Chapter 7 Living Person (4)

I opened the talisman paper, and there were many words inside, but I only recognized the four words in the middle: exorcism and peace.

It's just that these four characters were broken in the middle for some unknown reason.

What's going on? Why is there a talisman inside my collar?

And this talisman paper, why did it crack when it was in good condition? Could it be that I just had a dream?

The more I thought about it, the more confused I became. I completely lost sleep. I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling blankly, until it started to get light and the sound of cockcrow could be heard outside.

There is a knock on the door, put on your shoes and open the door.

"Hey, you haven't slept all night? You can compete with a giant panda with dark circles under your eyes." Yan Shu at the door said to me with a mocking tone.

"Yeah, how do you know?" I lay back on the bed weakly.

"what happened?"

Maybe he saw something was wrong with me, so he didn't continue to mock me, but sat by the bed and asked.

"Didn't anything strange happen to you when you were sleeping last night?"

"What's weird?" Yan Shu's answer came with a confused look on his face.

It seemed that nothing happened to him last night.

Why is it me?

"Did something weird happen to you?"

"It's okay, it was just a nightmare." I don't even understand what happened now, so why should I worry about it with someone who is two years younger than me?

Yes, Yan Shu is still two years younger than me, and he is fourteen years old this year, but his speaking style does not look like he is fourteen years old at all.

"If you didn't have a good rest last night, why don't you go today? You don't have anything to do today anyway."

"Can you do it if I don't go?" After all, I am two years older than Yan Shu and I know more than him.

However, I absolutely cannot stay in this building any longer. I want to go home.

"I want to go home, how about you come with me?"

"Go back to your house? What are you doing? Run away in the face of battle?" Yan Shu may have thought that he was not a fake Taoist priest but why did I, a real monument engraver, not have a good rest at night and just had a nightmare and was about to run away.

"How is that possible?" I laughed angrily at him, "I have something to do and I have to go home. I'm not worried about you living here alone, so why don't you go back with me? Anyway, the matter of digging the grave will be postponed for a long time.

Two days is nothing.”

That's what I think, but Assistant Liu doesn't think that way.

"No, you two young masters, this matter is a bit urgent." Assistant Liu rejected us righteously, and even raised the issue of professional ethics, "young masters, did you encounter something at night? But

We agreed from the beginning, but now we have to leave, how can I explain to my wife?"

It turned out that Assistant Liu also knew that there was something wrong with this small building.

"We will go back for one day and come here tomorrow. The location you took us to see yesterday is very good. It is in line with Madam's expectations. We can just arrange for someone to dig it. We don't have anything to do here for the time being. Other things

It’s impossible to finish it all on this day, right?”

Yan Shu really looked like a little man at this time, standing in front of me.

"Can't Master Chen carve the monument first today?" Assistant Liu hesitated after hearing Yan Shu's words and wanted to struggle again.

"Then have you prepared the tombstone? There are also tools needed to carve the tombstone. Do you think the soul-crushing stele is so easy to carve? How can I carve it if nothing is ready?"

I spread my hands and said it was reasonable.

Of course, I didn't even think about carving a monument, so I didn't ask him to prepare these things. However, now it is a good idea to prepare these things as an excuse for us to go back.

"Then what do you need? I'll send someone to do it right away."

"Black dog blood, glutinous rice, cinnabar, Assistant Liu, it's best if you can prepare these things. Originally I didn't have to go back, but I didn't bring my tablet carving tools!" Maybe he stayed with Yan Shu for two days,

I actually started to act, pretending to have a headache, "Originally, I thought it would be enough to come here and prepare the tools for carving the monument, but I went to see the place yesterday and thought about it all night, and I thought I still had to

Use the carving tools passed down by my master. Otherwise, if something happens later, Little Master Yan and I will be the first to suffer. No, Little Master Yan doesn’t trust me alone and insists on following me back to see with his own eyes.

I just got the tools."

After this long speech, Assistant Liu felt dizzy and nodded repeatedly.

He even had to drive us back personally.

How can we refuse this kind offer?

So, Yan Shu and I took a luxury car back to Panjiawan.

"What's going on? Why are you back?" When I got home, my grandfather was feeding chickens at the door. "Who is this child?" The latter question was about Yan Shu who was following me.

"Oh, he's a friend of mine." I smiled and walked directly to the main room regardless of what my grandfather thought. "Where's my mother? They won't go back, right?"

"Here you are! What are you doing! Why did you come back in just one day? What happened?" My mother was helping my grandma feed the pigs at home, and she walked out of the pigsty when she heard my voice.

"Yan Shu, wait for me here." As I said that, I pulled my mother into a small bedroom where I usually sleep when I come here.

Then he took out the broken yellow talisman paper.

"Ah! What's going on! How did it happen like this?" My mother was also shocked when she saw the talisman paper, but what shocked her was not that I brought the talisman paper back, but that she saw the talisman paper cracked in half.

He was so surprised, "You damn girl, why did you just tear this thing apart?"

"???" How come I tore it? "Mom, take a closer look. If it's torn, will there be burrs in the middle? Take a look, are there any burrs?"

After listening to my words, my mother carefully picked it up and held it up to the light. Indeed, the cracked part was neat and not a tear mark at all.

"What on earth is going on? What happened to you?" My mother also reacted and looked at me carefully.

"Where did this charm come from?"

"This is just an ordinary peace charm. Why do you ask so clearly?"

No, something was very wrong. When my mother answered me, she didn't dare to look at me at all, but pretended to study the cracks on the talisman paper.

"Mom, do you know that your daughter almost didn't come back yesterday?" It seems that my mother won't say anything without some serious medicine.

I directly told her the dream I had last night. Now that I think about it, it might not be just a dream at all.

"How could this happen? Didn't Master Liao say that this talisman will protect you until you are eighteen years old? Why did you still encounter this kind of thing?" My mother murmured.

Master Liao? Isn’t it the same Liao Laosan who did the work for my grandpa?
