Jiang Dong left the door, staggered to the bed, put his head on the bed, stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt to cover his head, not wanting to hear He Ye's voice.
He Ye thought about Jiang Dong's kindness to him, adjusted his mood, and continued: "Also, I won't be able to come here these days. Uncle Qi is dying. I have to go help. You can take care of yourself for a few days first."
.”
Hearing the news, Jiang Dong suddenly lifted up the quilt and sat up. Uncle Qi was one of the best people to him. When he was a child, he grew up eating food from hundreds of families. Apart from He Ye's family, he ate the most from He Lao Qi's family.
, so he had to go see Uncle Qi.
Jiang Dong got out of bed, took a few bites of the food on the table and hurried to He Laoqi's house. Unfortunately, he didn't get to see him for the last time. He Laoqi had just died when he arrived. In fact, even if he didn't
Even if he died, He Laoqi would not be able to see Jiang Dong because he had not woken up in the past few days and had a high fever. Even though the doctor gave him all the medicine, he did not see any effect.
People in the village said that He Laoqi died of evil spirits.
There are many rules for funerals in the village, and there are many people who help. Jiang Dong spent the entire afternoon helping He Laoqi's house, announcing the funeral, pulling out the white cloth, and nailing the coffin. During this period, he also met He Ye face to face several times, but only glanced at him.
, did not speak. There was a sad look in He Ye's eyes, with sparkling tears in them. I don't know if it was because of Jiang Dong or because of He Laoqi. Anyway, Jiang Dong was so scared that he didn't dare to look at her anymore, so he could only concentrate on what he was doing in front of him.
thing.
It was almost ten o'clock when he came back from He Laoqi's house. Jiang Dong poured the leftovers he brought back into Da Ben's rice bowl, broke off a steamed bun and threw it in for soaking. He gave it to Da Ben and went to bed. There will be more tomorrow.
Many things are waiting for him.
Jiang Dong was woken up by Da Ben's cry in the middle of the night. He quickly put on his clothes and came out to see what was going on. He saw Da Ben barking "woof woof woof" at the northern sky. Jiang Dong knelt down and stroked him.
He held Da Ben's head to calm him down. Only when Da Ben stopped screaming did he hear noisy noises coming from the north of the village.
Judging from the direction of the sound, it might be He Laoqi's family. Jiang Dong went back to the house, got dressed and went to see what happened.
The door of He Laoqi's courtyard was full of people, but no one went in. They all stood outside the door and watched. It turned out that someone was going crazy inside.
The crazy man's name was He Jiangbo, He Laoqi's nephew. Jiang Dong remembered that he should be guarding the funeral hall tonight, but he didn't know why he went crazy later, but the people guarding with him were fine.
He Jiangbo's crazy look and howling sound made people feel extremely terrifying. He was jumping up and down while howling, biting people when he caught them, and his strength was much stronger than usual. No one dared to step forward to stop him. Jiangdong Lai
After that, everyone turned their attention, because everyone knew that Jiang Dong had been a soldier for several years, and they all heard about Jiang Dong's rescue of He Ye. They all thought that Jiang Dong was a very powerful person, so they all hoped that Jiang Dong could control He Jiangbo.
live.
Jiang Dong did not disappoint everyone. He took a look, randomly called two people and went up. Crazy people are really difficult to control. They have great strength and don't know pain. Their attacks on others are also unsystematic and random.
But this can't help Jiang Dong! After he went up, he first avoided He Jiangbo's attack, took the opportunity to grab his wrist, then leaned down, twisted his arm back, stumbled, and followed He Jiangbo towards
The force of the forward thrust pushed him to the ground, and then he rode on his back to control him. The whole process was done in one go, without giving him any chance to resist and escape.
He Jiangbo, who had lost his mind, would not be subdued so easily. He used his other hand to support the ground and pushed upwards hard. He was so strong that he lifted Jiang Dong off the ground and was about to turn over! This
At that time, two other people also came up, and one of them pressed He Jiangbo to the ground. Then everyone found ropes to tie up He Jiangbo and tied him to a telegraph pole outside.
Although his body was tied so tightly that he couldn't move at all, He Jiangbo still didn't stop because of this. He still tirelessly howled loudly. The sound he made was hysterical and made people feel goosebumps all over his body.
The elders in the village have all come. Except for Jiangdong, all the residents in Hejiagou are named He. The oldest one is He Genliang. The elders in the village have to listen to He Genliang's arrangements for all matters big and small. The next generation is He Genliang.
He Ye is from her father's generation, and those below are those who are older or younger than Jiang Dong.
Many people came, but no one could tell why such a thing happened. Even the eldest He Genliang had never seen it. Everyone didn't know what to do for a while, and they all looked at He Genliang helplessly.
Jiang Bo was tied to a telephone pole and howled.
After a while, the village chief He Laosan said: "Isn't Bozi possessed by the spirit of Lao Qi?"
This sentence shocked everyone present into a cold sweat. Everyone had heard of ghost possession, but no one had seen it. What was happening in front of them all seemed incredible to everyone, but they couldn't find any other reason.
I had no choice but to agree with He Laosan's guess. The timid person was so frightened by these words that he wanted to go home.
Although He Genliang is well-informed, he has never seen such a thing. He couldn't tell what happened, so he discussed with everyone what to do.
He Laosan thought for a while and said: "At a meeting in the township two years ago, I heard from the village chief of Duo'erzhai that there had been a case of people being possessed by evil spirits in the village in Linxiang. The rumors at that time were quite evil and scared the whole village.
It’s not a big deal, but he was eventually betrayed by an old man named Xu.”
"Do you know where that person is?" He Genliang asked quickly, the sudden news lighting up his thoughts.
"I don't know. No one cared about it at the time and didn't ask much about it."
"Hurry up and take someone to find him! If Bozi is really possessed, we will be in trouble, and everyone in the village will not have a good life!"
He Laosi asked He Gang to ride a motorcycle and take the village chief He Laosan to find the expert who can break the ghost possession. No one knows whether the remaining people will be able to find it or whether they can remove He Jiangbo's poison.
He Laosi arranged for the few remaining brave people. Some watched He Jiangbo, some went to the mourning hall, and the elders all went home to wait for the news.
When the sun was just about to rise the next day, an old man with a bun came from the back of the village. He had white hair and a childlike face, and was energetic. He was carrying a gray cloth bag. He didn't speak to anyone and went directly to He Laoqi's house.
.No one in the village knew who the visitor was or what his relationship was with He Laoqi.
He Genliang came out of the house to see the old man, and saw that the man was stroking his white beard and looking up and down at He Jiangbo who was tied up at the door. He wondered if the expert He Laosan said was here, so he hurried up to ask
Said: "What do you call this old man?"
"My surname is Xu and my given name is Bozhi. It's He Laosan from your village who came to see me last night." The old man continued to smooth the long white beard on his chin as he spoke.
He Genliang suddenly said: "It turns out to be Mr. Xu, please sit down in the room quickly!"
Since the mourning hall was located in the main room of the north house, the lower room to the east of the yard was used as a place to receive guests. When he came to the house and made tea, He Genliang asked: "I wonder if the master can see the reason why Xiao Bozi went crazy.
Yet?"
The old man waved his hand and said: "I am not an expert. I just know some small magic to seek good luck and avoid evil. I occasionally do small rituals for the folks from all over the country and earn some money for drinks. The boy outside the door was indeed
He is possessed, I will cast a spell to rescue him later."
"Thank you so much, Master!" He Genliang said quickly, "I don't know what props are needed, so I can ask someone to prepare them?"
"No need to do anything, just watch!" the old man surnamed Xu said confidently.
After saying this, the old man got up and went to the North House mourning hall, looked around, then came to the door, took out a piece of yellow paper with red letters and a small white bottle from the bag, and then touched the yellow paper casually with his hands.
He pulled it a few times and placed it on He Jiangbo's forehead. At this time, He Jiangbo had been struggling all night and had already lost his strength. He was unconscious with his head hanging down.
As soon as the yellow paper was pasted, He Jiangbo's body straightened up and began to shake. Jiang Dong and others standing nearby immediately took a few steps back and stood watching curiously.
The old man opened the vial unhurriedly, and then stared at He Jiangbo, as if waiting for something. After a while, a curl of green smoke rose from He Jiangbo's head, and slowly condensed into shape, and immediately became a
The shape of a human was suspended above He Jiangbo's head, and it was actually the same size as a real person.
Everyone present stared in shock at this incredible scene!
As the green smoke slowly took shape, everyone exclaimed, because the green smoke was exactly the same as He Laoqi! At this time, the old man surnamed Xu stretched forward the small bottle in his hand, and the green smoke turned into He Laoqi.
It turned into wisps and was put into the bottle, and He Jiangbo also became limp.
The old man capped the bottle, handed it to He Genliang and said: "This is the ghost of the deceased. It must have been blocked by the closed doors and windows when he was about to enter reincarnation last night, so he had no choice but to attach himself to this kid. Now I have put it away."
, just wait until midnight today to open it in the yard and go away. The kid is fine, just some of his yang energy was consumed by the ghost. Fortunately, he is young, so he will be fine after a sleep. "
He Genliang thought for a while and asked: "We used to have vigils like this in the village, and nothing like this has ever happened. Why did it happen this time..."
The old man continued: "The deceased this time must have died for some other reason. He seemed to have resentment in his heart, so he attached himself to others. I don't know what happened. But I have to remind you.
Yes, in the future, you should remember to open a window in the house during wakes, preferably the ventilation window above, so that the ghost of the deceased can fly away, re-enter reincarnation, and find a new host."
"Thank you for the reminder, Master! This is some reward, please accept it." He Genliang took out an envelope and handed it over. The old man was not polite and reached out to take it.
Jiang Dong had already untied He Jiangbo and let him carry him away. He was standing aside and listening to the old man's explanation. He didn't expect the old man to walk towards him after he finished explaining. He couldn't help but become curious.
"Have you ever been a soldier?" the old man asked, grabbing Jiang Dong's arm and placing his hand on his pulse.
"Yes, I am now at home after being discharged from the army." Jiang Dong answered truthfully.
"Let me tell you, although there is a little trouble, you are in good shape. Work hard!" After saying that, the old man left, leaving behind these words that left Jiang Dong confused.
