I have a friend named Zhang Tieqing. Once Zhang Tieqing invited me to hang out with him at his girlfriend's house. The place where his girlfriend lived was very remote. Tie Qing and I took a few bus stops before we arrived at an old building where she lived. This old building, illuminated by a few gloomy street lights, makes people feel very scary, and it no longer has any urban flavor.
I saw several lights on the first floor. The second and third floors were dark and I couldn't see anything. I looked to the west of the second floor again and found that it was even darker and very dark. It was scary, so he asked Tie Qing in confusion: "Brother, the lights at your girlfriend's house are not on. Isn't she at home?"
Tie Qing shook his head and said, "She likes darkness and often doesn't turn on the light at night."
I chuckled and said, "Your girlfriend is indeed unusual." With that, Tie Qing and I walked towards the old building.
At this time, a very sad voice suddenly came from behind me: "Son, what's wrong with you? Wake up, don't scare mother, son…"
My scalp numbed, I turned around and looked behind me, and found that under an old peach tree, there was a middle-aged woman hugging a seven or eight-year-old boy and crying sadly, and the boy's face was white and white. The ghost called Hun Tong, the shopkeeper , lying motionless in the middle-aged woman's arms. No wonder the middle-aged woman cried so miserably. Soon, adults and children from the households with lights on the first floor ran out of their homes and came to the middle-aged woman. From the simple clothes of these people, I knew that they were migrant workers and their wives and children who came to the city to find work.
Neither Tie Qing nor I hesitated, and quickly came to the middle-aged woman's side. I asked her: "Sister, what's wrong with your child?"
The middle-aged woman said with a blank look on her face: "Xin'er was fine just now. He came under this old peach tree to pick peaches to eat. I don't know what happened, but he suddenly fainted and fell to the ground like this."
It turned out that the child's name was Xin'er, so someone soon came up with the idea to call 120 and send Xin'er to the hospital for rescue, and his mother agreed. A middle-aged man hurriedly took out his mobile phone and wanted to call 120. Since I had learned the Yin and Yang Bagua from my grandfather before, even though I wasn’t very good at it, I could still be considered half a god. So when I saw Xin’er’s unusual condition, I knew that he was either sick or lost his soul, so I hurriedly He stopped the middle-aged man who was about to make a call and said, "Brother, please stop calling. It's useless."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong? Xin'er is so sick. If not sent to the hospital, where can she be sent?"
People on the side also agreed with his statement and urged him to make a call so as not to delay Xin'er's illness.
I smiled bitterly and explained: "Xin'er is not sick, she has lost her soul." Then I saw a meat hook hanging on the old peach tree, and then I understood why Xin'er had lost her soul, and then I explained to them: "Someone must have killed pigs here during the day and left the meat hook on the tree, so this child lost his soul."
After hearing what I said, these people calmed down, because they are all rural people and know that the meat hook is an absolute murder weapon, and it is the most commonly used weapon by ghosts to seduce people's souls, so if someone hangs this kind of meat hook during the day, In the tree, if someone passes by under the tree at night, the ghost will draw his soul away.
Soon a middle-aged man who was very fat, with a round belly and covered in grease came from the crowd and walked to the middle-aged woman. He said with an apology on his face: "Sister-in-law Li, I'm sorry, I was the one who was there during the day." I slaughtered a pig under the peach tree and forgot the meat hook on the tree. I didn't expect that it would hurt Xin'er. Shopkeeper Tong , I, Fatty Zhang, am willing to bear all the expenses for Xin'er's treatment."
Sister-in-law Li glanced at Fatty Zhang helplessly and said, "Fatty, it's not easy for you to sell meat. It's all because of Xin'er's ignorance. How can it be blamed on you? Besides, Xin'er is not sick, but frightened." Now, please ask someone to wake up the soul and it will be fine."
Zhang Tieqing, who was standing next to me at the moment, pushed me and said, "Brother! Don't you call yourself a half-immortal? Take out your true envoy and call Xin'er's soul back."
I said without thinking: "Okay!" Then I came to Sister-in-law Li and comforted her and said: "Sister-in-law Li, don't worry, I can bring back Xin'er's soul."
When Sister-in-law Li heard my words, she seemed to have seen a savior. Her face was full of surprise and she said eagerly: "Little brother, since you can call the soul, please call back our Xin'er's soul quickly."
I took a look at the meat hook hanging on the peach tree and told Fatty Li: "Fat man, take your meat hook away and don't let it harm anyone anymore. If you kill pigs in the future, you must use a hook to kill them." Hook up the pork and hang it at the door to dry. After drying the pork, put the meat hook directly into the pit under the stove. Don't leave it randomly again."
Fatty Li nodded straight at me and kept saying: "Little brother, I will definitely listen to you and put the meat hook properly so that it can't harm anyone anymore." As he said that, he reached out to hang the old peach. Pick off the meat hooks from the tree.
I then told Sister-in-law Li: "Sister-in-law Li, put Xin'er on the ground first. Go home quickly and get two incense candles and some paper money. I'm going to prepare to wake up Xin'er's soul."
Sister-in-law Li put Xin'er on the ground according to what I said, and hurried back home to get two incense candles and some paper money. After I took these things, I first inserted two incense candles on the ground, lit them with a lighter, then muttered something decently, and lit the pieces of paper money with flickering hands…
To be honest, although I had learned the soul-calling method from my grandfather, this was my first time to call someone’s soul, so I felt very confused. I was really afraid that if I couldn’t call Xin’er’s soul back, my grandfather’s face would be ruined. I was completely lost.
As the paper money in my hand burned less and less, Xin'er's face gradually turned rosy. What's even more exciting is that his hands and feet can also move. It seems that my grandfather once taught me the soul-calling method. It was effective. I didn't lose Grandpa's face. As expected, Xin'er got up from the ground not long after.
Seeing that Xin'er was fine, everyone was so excited that they praised me as a living god.
Xin'er saw so many people staring at him in front of him, and he felt puzzled and asked Sister-in-law Li: "Mom, what are you all doing? Why am I lying on the ground?"
Sister-in-law Li smiled and said: "Xin'er, your soul was lost just now, so you were lying on the ground, which made mom worried to death." Then she pointed at me and said: "Xin'er, it was this uncle who took your The soul called me back, thank you uncle."
Xin'er is indeed a very obedient child. Before Mrs. Li could finish speaking, he came to me, smiled sweetly at me and said, "Uncle, Xin'er, thank you."
I touched Xin'er's head and said, "Xin'er, you're welcome. This is what uncle should do."
In the end, Sister-in-law Li invited us to her home to thank me. Since Sister-in-law Li's man was not at home and went to work the night shift, we both found it inconvenient, so we said goodbye to Sister-in-law Li and Xin'er and went to find Tie Qing's girlfriend. .
Later, Tie Qing’s girlfriend told me that this building is often haunted. The rich people have moved to the city. Now the people living here are migrant workers with no money. They live here because the housing prices are cheap. Here, Tie Qing's girlfriend didn't move out because she was about to get married to Tie Qing, but she was so scared that she hid in bed every night, covering her head and not daring to look at the weird night outside.
It turns out that this building is often haunted! No wonder the boy named Xin'er's soul was easily snatched away by the meat hook.
