Take your sister to catch a ghost

Chapter 49: Emperor Youtian
Xiaoxi quickly walked to my side, still not daring to look at the young man.

I deliberately teased her and said, "He's taken a fancy to you."

After hearing this, Xiaoxi blushed a little. After all, she didn't know much about relationships, and she was still very sensitive to these topics.

Leaving this stall for buying medicinal materials, I continued to walk down the stone stairs. Along the way, there was a 60-[-]-year-old aunt sitting at the door of many hotels. When she saw Xiaoxi and me, she shouted: "Young man, open an hourly room and take a rest."

I looked at Xiaoxi, ignored them, and went straight down. There were several fortune-telling stalls and book stalls on the road. I bought a few books about Feng Shui. When I reached the end of the ladder, I met a game seller with a stick on his shoulder. One end of the stick was a pheasant, and the other end was a white sack.

Xiaoxi looked at it and said, "It's so pitiful..."

I said, "It's really pitiful. It may be that I didn't do good things in my previous life. In this life, I was reincarnated as a pheasant and was killed to pay off my debts."

The game picker heard us talking, turned around and said to us, "This guy is right, do you want to buy it?"

Xiaoxi and I shook our heads at the same time, he is not afraid of being caught for selling so blatantly.

"What's in that bag of yours?" I asked out of curiosity.

He put the bag on the ground, sat on the stone ladder, and said, "It's a snake, it's nourishing, and the little girl ate it to nourish her beauty."

I heard it and said, "If it's a snake, you'd better let it go."

"What?"

I thought about it and said, "The snake is a god, and it is also our totem."

Hearing this, the man let out a hey, and said, "I don't believe there is a god in this world."

"Is your snake still alive?" I asked.

He nodded, and then I said, "I bought it."

I paid more than 100 yuan to buy this bag, but I didn’t open it immediately, because I was afraid of scaring Xiao Xi, so I went back after playing with the bag for a while. After returning, I put the bag next to the Sanqing statue. Two sticks of incense were burned.

Snakes were revered as gods in the past, and this is how the ghosts and snake gods came into being. It is not unreasonable to call the snake the Emperor Youtian in "Lingnan Miscellaneous Notes", so it is better to be cautious.

After the incense offerings, I went out with the bag, went to the back of the house, opened the bag, a black snake slowly came out, and slowly wrapped around my leg. Several old people passing by saw it and hurriedly Come up, ready to help me get rid of this snake, but I stop it.

I looked down, then bent down to take it off, and said, "Let's go, go far away, this place is very dangerous."

As soon as I finished speaking, the snake turned into the grass, and finally entered the crevice of the stone. I looked at the traces where it had slipped and smiled, believing that this would also relieve me of a lot of karma.

Although snakes are cold-blooded animals, they are not without emotions. All living creatures in the world have emotions, but we don't understand them.

Like house snakes, dogs, and horses, these three animals are the most taboo to kill, otherwise they will really suffer retribution.

Domestic snake is the name of Jiangsu people. In other places, domestic snakes and wild snakes are called "Liman" and "Waiman" respectively. Domestic snakes are entrenched in house beams, eaves, wall cracks, corrugated walls, and attics. The snake I saw was about three feet long, almost the same as the snake just now.

This kind of snake is usually the incarnation of the dead after returning to their souls. They transform into snakes to protect their families, so if you kill such a snake, you also kill your own relatives, and that is a great crime.

In the countryside, if a house snake enters the house, it is still very popular. When I was a child, I heard a story in the countryside. The old man next door to my grandfather died. During the night of returning to the soul, the person sleeping on the bed heard the rice dumpling. The voice of Sasha came from inside. The next day they went to see Mitun, and found a snake's shed skin inside. On the next third day, they saw a black snake in front of the water tank. They panicked for a while. They beat the snake to death and threw it into the stinky ditch. Within two years, everyone in their family became seriously ill and died one after another. Only a few migrant workers escaped the catastrophe.

After releasing the black one, I sat down on the bench above the garden, looked around, saw no one coming and going, and then called out the snake bone woman. The hair-eating ghost did not dare to let him out, after all, it is not human Appearance, if someone finds out, it's over.

Now the sun has been blocked by the building, and the sunlight cannot come in, so the snake bone woman is not affected.

After she came out, she sat next to me, without saying a word, she folded her arms and stared at me. After watching for a while, I felt really awkward, scratched my head, and said, "Don't look... ...and stop hugging your chest."

"I'll see what you can do?"

I laughed and said, "You, a woman, told me what's going to happen. Tell me, what will happen to me?"

I deliberately blurred my eyes, with a strange smile on my mouth, staring at her special parts, she looked at my eyes, then looked in the direction of my eyes, and finally stopped at her own chest In front of me, I stared, quickly let go of my hand and said to me viciously: "Look...what are you looking at, don't look at it."

Only then did I raise my gaze a little higher and stay on her face. She is a ghost, and I can't see the change in her face. If I could, her face must be red now. After all, she was born 100 years ago. People, at that time the mind was far less open than ours.

"What's the matter, who are you losing your temper with?" I said.

She glanced at me, licked her mouth, and said, "I didn't."

"You have."

"I do not have."

"You have."

"Well, I'm angry," she said.

I laughed and asked her, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Then she put her eyes on me and said, "Really?"

"Yeah." I nodded.

She looked at me again, and finally waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you men don't understand, so it's useless to tell you."

I groaned, nodded, and said, "Okay then, since you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

After hearing this, the snake bone woman nodded in disappointment. In fact, I don't want to hear it. I know the snake bone woman. She will definitely do what she has said. Judging from her expression, she really wants to treat me She said it, but she couldn't let it go. She even said she wouldn't tell me, so she definitely wouldn't tell me.

Then there was silence for a while, she couldn't bear it, she broke the silence first, and asked me: "What have you been doing these days?"

I thought for a while and said, "I didn't do anything. I met a big trumpet and went with him to catch a baby spirit."

"Baby spirit? It's very dangerous, are you okay?" the snake bone woman asked me.

I spread my arms and said, "I'm so good, of course I'm fine."

She gave me a disdainful look, and then fell silent again. The snake bone woman pulled a piece of grass from the ground and played with it. I also stared at the hole where the snake disappeared just now, in a daze. Then she poked me with the grass and said: "Hey, don't you even know how to chat?"

I froze for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I haven't talked to women much."

She nodded her head, looked at me with a natural look and said, "I can see that, fortunately, you have a younger sister, otherwise you will never have any contact with women in your life."

"Aren't you a ready-made woman?"

"I'm different from them." The snake bone woman said lazily.

I sized her up and said, "What's the difference? Aren't they all with two eyes and one mouth."

He threw away the grass in his hand, stared at me for a long time, then got up, straightened his skirt, walked to my side, stood for two seconds, we looked at each other for two seconds, she suddenly bent down, mouth directly I touched it on my forehead, but before I could react, I already felt a coldness on my forehead, without any tactile sensation. This was what I expected. Ghosts are soul-like, that is, gas, and we can’t touch them without special methods. They can't touch us.

She stayed on my forehead for a few seconds, then stood up straight and said, "Now you know how different I am from them."

I looked up at her, and the corners of my mouth twitched, trying to say something, but I didn't know what words to use, so I had to give up.

She looked at my expression, smiled, turned around again, looked at the houses in front of her, and said, "It's been so long, I'm tired of it, I wish I could walk on the street like you, Let's bask in the sun without any worries."

Looking at her back, I kept silent, this is fate, even if I want to help her, I can only think about it.

She stretched her waist with her back to me, and then said to me with a sideways face: "Actually, it is much better than before. Before, I could only accompany those two snakes all day long. Now there is someone to chat with. I am satisfied." I thought no one would talk to me before the impermanent ghost caught me, but you talked to me and treated me as a friend, I was really surprised."

"Lin Qu..."

"You'd better call me Snake Bone Woman, it sounds more comfortable." She interrupted me.

I nodded and continued: "Actually, you can occupy a corpse..."

"Come on." The Snake Bone Woman interrupted me again, "I'm afraid that before I move in, you ghost-catchers will take me in for the reason of occupying someone else's body."

I was silent for a while, and said: "No matter what you do, I will never do anything to you."

After hearing this, the snake bone woman said, "Really? Why?"

"I won't do anything to my friends." I said firmly.

The Snake Bone Woman smiled slightly, and said, "That's fine, I just like to be myself, occupying other people's bodies, and I feel uncomfortable."

After that I didn't pay attention, and sat there silent for a while, the snake bone woman came to me and said: "Compared to me, the hair eater is more pitiful, he hides in that jar all day long, and doesn't even go out at night , nor speak."

I looked at the location of the hair-eating ghost's pot, and didn't say anything. This world is very unfair, not only for people, but also for ghosts. After all, the snake bone woman is very lucky among ghosts. Her nature is not fair. Bad, it will not cause others to attack her, she has a good appearance, and she can come out in places where there is no sunlight.

Chatting nonsense with the snake bone woman here until it is almost dark, and when I get home, Xiaoxi has already cooked the meal, so that life is really enjoyable, and the clothes come, the hands are stretched out to eat, and the mouth is opened, and there will be no one who serves me No complaints.

While eating, I said to Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"

"Isn't my brother just catching ghosts?" Xiao Xi told me.

"Then have you ever seen a ghost?" I continued to ask.

Xiaoxi shook her head, she didn't want her to touch these things before, so she never let her see them.

"The elder brother is telling you one thing now, don't be afraid, okay?"

She nodded and waited expectantly for my next words.

"Didn't I introduce you to a brother's friend last time?"

She hummed.
