Chapter 25: Shouting Soul at Night
Carpenter Fan's wife still looked the same, as motionless and unresponsive as a clay sculpture.
"Damn you bitch, sir, are you talking to me? Do you hear me?" Fan Carpenter suddenly jumped up and rushed over, shouting that he was about to greet me.
At this moment, Carpenter Fan's wife suddenly turned her head, her face was ashen, and she looked at Carpenter Fan fiercely, her eyes full of resentment and hatred, as if she wanted to eat Carpenter Fan alive.
Fan Carpenter was stunned by her eyes. His raised hand stayed in the air for a long time before finally lowering it weakly.
When his wife got up and walked past him, she gave him another fierce look, then picked up the incense burner and walked out the door.
This sight actually frightened him.
I thought that nothing would happen to Blind Cheng and me. Mr. Fan also stood up and prepared to see off the guests. Who knew that this old blind man was not done yet. Hearing Carpenter Fan and his wife walk out the door, he also got up and chased after him. I
Worried that something might happen to him, I followed him.
I have been to the cemetery in the west several times and know that it is difficult to walk there. Not to mention that blind Cheng Cheng, who is nearly seventy years old and still has difficulty using his eyes, even a young man like me with excellent eyesight and flexible legs and feet would find it difficult to walk.
As soon as they left the village, Fan Carpenter's wife shouted.
"Baosheng, Xiaocui, come back - you can't go to the mountains. There are tigers on the mountains. You can't go in the water. There are bastards in the water. Old crows peck at people's backs. Insects and ants bite people and it hurts. In the world, only mother is the dearest, mother hopes.
Baosheng Xiaocui come back soon..."
This is a set of rhetoric used here to call out souls. Fan Carpenter's wife's voice is hoarse and sobbing, which makes people feel heartbroken. In this pitch-black night, in this deserted wilderness, it seems particularly special.
Desolate and extremely scary.
I was a little scared when I heard that, so I clutched Cheng Xiazi's sleeve tightly and pressed my body tightly against him.
Although blind Cheng couldn't see, he walked very slowly and could perfectly avoid the rocks under his feet, which made me secretly surprised.
After walking for more than ten minutes, he suddenly slowed down, sniffed his nose vigorously, and listened again.
We are approaching the cemetery. The road under our feet gradually becomes narrower and the terrain gradually becomes steeper. There are bushes and thorns on both sides. Those who are hidden inside and are startled by the footsteps are not sure whether they are rabbits, hedgehogs or badgers screaming strangely.
As we ran away, frightened birds flapped their wings and flew over our heads from time to time.
I felt a little guilty and asked tremblingly: "Grandpa Cheng, are we looking in the wrong place? There is a cemetery right in front of us." After saying that, I looked at him again.
Blind Cheng took off his sunglasses at some point, and his eyes with only the whites and no pupils actually glowed blue in this dark night, which really scared me so much that I almost peed my pants.
"Boy, you will inevitably come to a place like this in the future, so I'll treat it as a courage training exercise for you."
While talking, I walked to the edge of the cemetery. A circle of pine trees was planted outside the cemetery, which means that the pines and cypresses are evergreen.
Perhaps it was a psychological effect. As soon as I passed through the pine trees, I felt a cold wind and the temperature dropped several degrees. I couldn't help but shiver and leaned closer to Xiazi Cheng.
Looking at Fan Carpenter again, I saw that his hand holding the incense was trembling. I don't know whether it was because of fear or the cold.
Along the way, his wife was responsible for calling out the soul, and he was responsible for lighting incense. When each stick of incense was about to burn out, he would light another one.
But since entering the cemetery, the incense has obviously been burning faster. Carpenter Fan can no longer light the incense at the same speed as the incense burning.
What's going on?
The incense stick in the incense burner burned a little strangely. There were faint blue flames on the incense head, and it sprayed out quite far.
"What...what's going on?" Fan Carpenter was so frightened by this scene that the tone of his voice changed.
Blind Cheng had already noticed that something was wrong, and said calmly: "It's okay, keep going, this is a ghost sucking incense."
My grandma's sixth aunt, how many ghosts are there, do you really want to scare people to death? I turned into a dog-skin plaster and stuck tightly to Blind Man Cheng's arm.
Carpenter Fan was not much better either. He was trembling so much that he was sifting chaff. If he hadn't been looking for the child, he would have run away long ago.
His wife, on the other hand, had to be admired. In this environment, she still kept her face and screamed heart-wrenchingly. But in this land full of graves, her voice was really creepy.
Dear readers, you can make up this scene on your own...
The incense in the incense burner burned faster and faster, and finally it became like burning paper, and it burned to the bottom in less than a few dozen seconds. Not only that, a stronger wind swirled around the few of us, and it lasted for a long time.
Come on, I was instantly covered in goosebumps.
Carpenter Fan was so frightened that he peed. There was some kind of excrement dripping from his crotch. His hands were trembling and he couldn't light the lighter...
"Hmph, you're trying too hard to push yourself too far!" Blind Cheng snorted coldly, grabbed a handful of paper money and threw it into the air, and said calmly, "Ashes return to dust, soil returns to soil. My mother is in pain when she is looking for her son. A stick of fragrance passes by.
, three taels of money as reward, you can take it and leave quickly..."
After reciting this set of words, the wind has not abated and it seems to have no effect.
"I, Cheng Bugui, salute you first, don't be shameless! Get out of here!" It seems that the old man is really angry, and the words he shouted were sonorous and powerful, like a rolling thunder, which lasted for a long time...
The gloomy wind suddenly stopped, and a dead silence instantly returned to the cemetery, as if the gloomy wind had never blown before. The blue fire on the incense head also went out, but it seemed to be burning a little slowly.
I took a long breath, relaxed my tense heart, patted my wildly beating chest, and secretly gave Cheng Xiazi a thumbs-up, thinking to myself, ok, this is as good as the crazy one.
This cemetery is the ancestral cemetery in the village. Except for children who died under minors and people who died violently, almost all the dead in the village for generations are buried here. Therefore, this cemetery is very large, with dozens of people buried there.
acres of land.
But we walked for more than half an hour, looking through almost the entire cemetery, but still couldn't find the souls of Baosheng and Xiaocui.
Beyond the cemetery is a mountain, which is the boundary of other villages.
Fan Carpenter looked at the dark mountain in front of him and asked calmly: "Mr. Cheng, are you sure we are looking for the right place? Baosheng and Xiaocui, two five-year-old children, cannot possibly run so far."
Blind Cheng didn't say anything, sniffed hard, put on his sunglasses, and said quietly: "Here he is, he's finally here."
"Coming? What's coming? Where is it?" I looked around. Except for the grass up to my knees and a few bare trees, was there anything anywhere?
"Put out the incense." He ordered, then took out a compass and a flashlight from his pocket and handed them to me. "Changsheng, have you seen the long needle on the compass? This is
I made some tricks on the Ziwu Needle. This Ziwu Needle can sense the souls of Baosheng and Xiaocui. If you follow it, you can find them. You can take it and lead the way."
I took a look at the direction of the Meridian Needle and said, "The needle is pointing to the mountain. It seems that they are really on this mountain..."
