Chapter 61 Chapter 62 The Ghost Crying at Night

…

"Uncle Nine! Uncle Nine!"

"What's the matter?"

The door of Yizhuang had been opened, and Lao Liu ran in and shouted towards the back room in the yard. Then he was startled by the voice behind him. He turned around and saw Uncle Jiu standing behind him.

"Uncle Jiu, my eldest child cries non-stop at night, and no matter how much he is coaxed, he can't be coaxed. The doctor said he might have been rushed to death, so he asked me to come and have a look at you!"

"Literary talent!"

After hearing what Lao Liu said, Uncle Jiu shouted behind him, and soon Wencai ran out in a hurry.

"Master, did you call me?"

"I'll go out for a while and you can take a look at Yizhuang."

After explaining the literary talents, Uncle Jiu followed Lao Liu out of Yizhuang. At this time, there were more pedestrians and saw Uncle Jiu greeting Uncle Jiu one after another. Soon the two of them arrived at Lao Liu's house.

And shortly after Uncle Jiu and Lao Liu left Yizhuang, an ox cart came back carrying Li Mu.

The layout of Lao Liu's house is that after entering the yard, there is the residence on the left, the kitchen on the right, and a fence in the middle for raising chickens and ducks.

Uncle Jiu looked around and found nothing wrong, and then followed Lao Liu into the house.

"Uncle Nine!"

As soon as they entered the door, Huilan and the old lady stood up to greet them.

"Look at the child first."

Uncle Jiu raised his hand to indicate that you were welcome and entered the back room. By this time, the child had already fallen asleep.

"I cried all night last night. Later, the doctor came and gave him a massage before it became less severe. But I couldn't stop it, and it didn't stop until almost dawn."

Lao Liu followed Uncle Jiu and introduced the situation to him. Uncle Jiu stretched out his hand to pull up the child's sleeve and looked at it, then opened his collar to look at it, and then fell silent.

"Uncle Jiu, what's going on?"

"Do you have incense burner ashes at home? If so, bring some to me."

Uncle Jiu did not answer Lao Liu's question, but asked him for the ashes of the incense burner.

"Yes, I'll get it now!"

Lao Liu immediately turned around and went out, and soon ran back holding an incense burner.

Uncle Jiu stretched out his fingers and dipped a little incense ash inside, lifted up the child's sleeves to reveal his white and tender little wrists, and wiped his wrist with the fingers dipped in incense ash.

A magical touch appeared, and several red dots gradually appeared on the child's wrist where the incense ash had covered it.

"Uncle Jiu, this..."

Seeing the red spot on his son's body, Lao Liu looked at Uncle Jiu in shock and was speechless for a long time.

"What on earth...is going on?"

Facing the chaotic mess of Lao Liu's family, Uncle Jiu said to them.

"Do you think these red dots look like child's teeth marks?"

Lao Liu and his family came together and took a closer look at the red dot pointed by Uncle Jiu. At a glance, it really looked like the bite marks left by a child who had just grown teeth.

"This is the remains of a kind of ghost that transformed into a child after death, called a night-crying ghost."

"Uncle Jiu, you have always been fine before, why did you suddenly provoke this night-crying ghost?"

The old lady's words at this time shocked Lao Liu. He thought about whether it was him who provoked the Night Screaming Ghost, and then heard Uncle Jiu say.

"I'll have to ask you guys about this."

"The Night-Crying Ghost was transformed into a child, so it is also called a Child's Ghost, because it was transformed into a child during its lifetime, and its personality is as playful and noisy as a child. There must be something that attracted the Night-Crying Ghost and lured him here."

"The night-crying ghost especially likes to haunt children under three years old. Because at this stage, the child's spiritual stage is clear and the eyes of the sky are not closed, the night-crying ghost will want to turn him into his playmate."

"Now your child's crying is caused by the bites of the night-crying ghost. If it is not discovered in time, he will have a high fever in a while and will not eat or drink. As time goes by, he will die young and he will be killed.

Take away the night-crying ghost."

Uncle Jiu looked at the child with a solemn expression. What he said made the expressions of Lao Liu and his family change greatly.

"Uncle Jiu, what should we do?"

Lao Liu asked in panic, his son was the heart and soul of the whole family. He had cried enough in the past two nights to make them feel distressed. How could he deal with it now if he heard that it would get even worse?

"Night-crying ghosts are different from other evil ghosts. They are pitiful people and cannot be killed. However, night-crying ghosts are afraid of the color red. Go buy some red paper and red lanterns and stick them on the doors and windows. Red lanterns

Hang it at the door so they don't dare to come in."

"Okay, I'll buy it now!"

As soon as Lao Liu heard this, he wanted to go to the market to buy red paper lanterns, but Uncle Jiu stopped him.

"Don't rush to buy it yet. First tell me if you have any toys that your child likes that night?"

"Toy? Yes, I sold out all the goods that day, so I bought a rattle for my son, ah! By the way, I took it out that night, could it be..."

Lao Liu suddenly remembered that when his fellow villagers asked him to drink, he took out a rattle and shook it, and his expression changed. Could it be that this attracted the night-crying ghost?

"Take out the stuff and give it to me."

Uncle Jiu's eyes flashed, and then he said to Lao Liu. Lao Liu rummaged through the package he got back and found a wooden rattle and handed it to him.

Uncle Jiu put his fingers on it and felt it. There was indeed a yin energy left in it.

Although the Night Screaming Ghost cannot be killed, it does not say that it cannot be captured. There are many spirit infants in Yi Zhuang who were subdued by Uncle Jiu, and the Night Screaming Ghost is the predecessor of the spirit infants.

The night-crying ghosts can be transformed into spiritual infants after they are sealed in clay figurines and suffused with incense to eliminate their hostility. At that time, they can be sent to be reincarnated.

After Lao Liu's family lights up the red lanterns, the Night Screaming Ghost will wander around the town if he can't get in, which will always cause trouble. With this rattle, we can find a way to contain him.

"Who are you?"

As soon as Lao Liu walked out, he saw an unfamiliar young man looking at him at the door of his house. He couldn't help looking at him warily and asked.

"Hello, I am Uncle Jiu's apprentice. Is my master here?"

The young man was Li Mu. When he heard from Wen Cai that it was a child crying at night, he wondered if it was the night-crying ghost recorded in the book, so he came over to gain some knowledge.

"Oh! Uncle Jiu's apprentice!"

"Come in quickly, Uncle Jiu is inside!"

Hearing that it was Uncle Jiu's apprentice Lao Liu, he immediately changed his attitude and brought him into the house with a smile on his face.

"Amu? Are you back?"

Uncle Jiu couldn't help but turn his head when he heard the movement outside. He couldn't help but be startled when he saw Li Mu, and then looked at Li Mu intently with a flash of his eyes.

With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that Li Mu's current state was different from before, and he felt confident when he thought of the hexagram he had calculated for him before.

"Master!"

Seeing Uncle Jiu again after many days, Li Mu felt a little uncontrollable joy in his heart. He wanted to share with Uncle Jiu what he had seen and learned these days and the news about his breakthrough, but he saw Uncle Jiu winking at him to tell him to go back.

So he called out "Master" honestly and stood aside to observe the surroundings.

Li Mu's eyes immediately fell on the child. When he saw the tooth marks on his hand, he thought to himself that it was indeed a ghost that screams at night!

At this time, the effect of reading carefully comes into play, and the source of the night-crying ghost and the method of restraining it automatically come to mind.

Not long after Lao Liu went out, he was out of breath and returned home carrying a bunch of red paper and several red lanterns.

"Uncle Jiu, I bought it!"

He was afraid of wasting time along the way and ran back and forth to buy things, so he could come back so quickly.

Uncle Jiu directed him to put red paper on the doors and windows, and then hung lanterns in front of the doors of each room. After instructing them to light the lanterns as soon as it got dark, Uncle Jiu took Li Mu back to Yizhuang.
