The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 103
"Then what are you going to do?" Zuo La frowned deeply. Her personality was much more decisive than Xia Xiangxi's. She said that if it was her, she would not let that zombie baby harm others before getting rid of it. it.

Xia Xiangxi smiled wryly, who would bear to kill a seemingly normal little life?Knowing that it is a zombie, so what?It is against the law to kill a small life until its face is revealed.

Not only was Xia Xiangxi helpless, but even Grandpa and Ma Po were helpless.

At night, things come out.Before Grandpa had time to go quietly with Xia Xiangxi to mend the Mo Dou formation, someone rushed over to look for Ma Po.That was Ah Liang's elder brother named Al, and he came to Ma Po to beg her to visit their children.I don't know what's going on, after returning from Ah Liang's house, I feel like I've lost my soul, I'm sleepy before dark, when I call him to eat at night, I can't wake up no matter how much I shout, my hands and feet are cold, The whole family was scared to death.After careful examination, it was found that the child was still breathing, but the breath was so weak that he could hardly feel it.

Everyone in the mountains knows that children usually "walk away" because they are scared. This actually means that the soul has left the body and left the body.This term is often used in the south, but Xia Xiangxi knows that the northerner's term is simpler, and when such a situation occurs, they will say "scared".Generally, children under the age of three often have such a situation, and it is not to say that children over the age of three do not have it, but it is much rarer.

Xia Xiangxi heard in his hometown that children under the age of three have clean eyes because of their ignorance, and are more likely to see unclean things, such as ghosts, so they are more likely to be frightened.After the age of three, the child's eyes are not so clear, and it is not easy to see things that should not be seen, so there is less fright.

The general symptoms of such a child are high fever and constant crying. No matter how you look at the doctor, you will not be able to see it well. After asking the witch to calm down, she will recover inexplicably.When grandpa was at home, he often helped those frightened children collect their souls.Such a child's eyes are scattered, and Tianling Gai can clearly feel that it has collapsed. It is said that it is caused by the lack of soul.

Older children are also frightened. Such children don’t cry very much and are listless every day. They always wake up with convulsions when they sleep and dream.Touch the roots of his hair again, even if there is no sweat, it will still be damp, and the hair will look like it is oily, always tied and sticky, no matter how you comb it, you will not be able to comb it.It's still the same after washing my hair.

For such a "going home" child, if the soul leaves the body for too long and too far, it will never be found again. The child will either become stupid, or the life will stop due to high fever.

So generally speaking, people in rural areas, when their children have a high fever or are listless, they always treat them with both hands. While letting the doctor watch, they let the sorceress help to collect the soul.In the end, the child recovered, and I don't know whether it was cured by the doctor or by the sorceress. "It's better to believe what's there than to believe what's not" is usually used by those who encounter things that are messed up.Care is chaos!

After listening to Al's words, Ma Po felt that the matter must be "going home".

Grandpa asked Xia Xiangxi to accompany Ma Po to visit Al's house.

Arriving at Al's house, Al's wife was holding her child and wiping tears, while rubbing her face against the child's little face, kissing and yelling, trying to wake the child up.

Xia Xiangxi saw that the child was only about two or three years old, which was the time when he was easily frightened.

Ma Po looked at the child and confirmed that he had left home.Let Al prepare a tea cup and a cup full of rice.Then prepare the incense burner and red cloth.Wait for what Ma Po needs.Ma Po lit three sticks of incense, then bowed to the teacup filled with rice and covered with red cloth, then picked up the teacup and waved it over the child's forehead for a few times.

When she stopped, Ma Po took off the red cloth covering the teacup, and her face became extremely ugly.

Xia Xiangxi walked over and saw that there was not a single grain of rice left in the teacup.Although she didn't know what this meant, she could tell from Ma Po's face that it was very bad.

Seeing Ma Po's ugly face, Al didn't speak, so he also walked over to take a look, and his expression immediately became scary.As soon as his legs were weak, he almost fell.

Mrs. Al also saw it clearly, holding the child and crying loudly like thunder.

Ma Po comforted Al's wife a few words, and said: "There is still a way. It is not good for the child to cry like this. The more unlucky you encounter, the more happy you will be, otherwise the bad spirit will haunt you. Even if nothing happens, something will happen, the taboo is to frown and bring bad luck to yourself!"

After Ma Po said this, Mrs. Al didn't dare to cry, but she couldn't help it anymore, so she gritted her teeth and held her breath, her face turned red from holding back, and tears kept gushing from her eyes.

Xia Xiangxi felt sore when he saw Al's wife like this.She had seen Ma Po's painful look when she lost her adopted son, Ah Shan, and knew that there is nothing more heartbreaking in this world than a white-haired person giving a black-haired person.

Ma Po asked Al's wife if she took the children to play in the distance, or happened to come across a graveyard?

Al's wife shook her head in a hurry, choked up and said no, the child of A Liang's family had passed twelve days, and she went to help take care of it. The child has been watched by grandma and never left A Liang's house. somewhere else.

Ma Po nodded and said she understood, and asked Mrs. Al to take the child's bellyband and put it in front of the child's head. The shoes must be worn well so that they cannot fall off, and it is best not to take them off when sleeping.She went back to think of a solution, and there might be a solution tomorrow.

Xia Xiangxi also heard from his grandfather before that if a person has an accident, if the shoes can still be worn on the feet, then no matter how serious the accident is, that person can still save his life. It means that the person is dead.Because ghosts don't wear shoes, ghosts are always floating, and their heels can't touch the ground.

Al and Al's wife said that they would remember Ma Po's words, and also begged Ma Po to think of a way. If the child was rescued by then, they would serve Ma Po like a mother.Naturally, these are just polite words, and people who have no blood relatives can't feel the pain no matter what.

Ma Po said that it was right to save the child, and asked them to put the child on the bed as she said.

After returning to the Diaojiaolou, Ma Po told Grandpa about the situation, and there was no longer a ray of sunshine on Grandpa's ditched face.

"I met a big thing!" The big thing that grandpa said was a powerful ghost.

Xia Xiangxi also probably understood that the soul of Al's child was taken away by some kind of ghost.

Ma Po said: "It is undoubtedly the child of Aguduo. Unexpectedly, I forgot to play the ink fight once today, and I was caught by it. I hope that this child will suffer, and don't harm the others. child!"

It was only then that Xia Xiangxi realized that the big thing grandpa was talking about was the zombie baby born by A Guduo.It's just that she wondered how such a small baby could snatch away the soul of a two- or three-year-old child?
Grandpa said that this has nothing to do with how old that child is, isn't there an old saying "a little kid is big!", Xia Xiangxi also remembered the time when he took his grandfather to Phoenix City to see a doctor, and encountered a funeral coffin rolling halfway from the funeral car on the way The thing that came down, that time was because there was a child who died unjustly in the coffin...

Grandpa said that the soul of a child is most likely to be taken away by ghosts, and children are always playful. The zombie baby will pretend to play with the child, and take his soul away after playing with him. But that kid won't know.

If this wandering soul wanders outside, if it encounters chickens and dogs again, it will be frightened and scattered into the wild, and it will be even more difficult to find it at that time.So this time can't be delayed for too long, we must hurry up and find a way.Before, Ma Po used the ancient method of collecting the soul, but she didn't take it back. Even the rice in the tea cup disappeared. It was obvious that the evil spirit didn't want the child's soul to be found.The ghost that took the child's ghost must now be subdued before the child's spirit can be returned.

Xia Xiangxi said: "Is there any other way? That evil spirit will definitely not let us do anything!"

Grandpa said: "This is about to pass through the shadows. Now it means that the enemy is in the dark. If the shadows reach the underworld, the evil spirits will no longer be able to hide. It will be easier to find the child's soul."

Xia Xiangxi is no stranger to passing the yin, and Ma Po has passed the yin before.The most important thing to pay attention to when it is overcast is the shoes.When passing the shade, the shoes should be turned upside down, and the shoes of the person who passed the shade should be turned upside down in time after the shade, otherwise the person will not be able to survive.

Because she had to hurry up, Ma Po was about to prepare for the overcast soon.Grandpa was old and couldn't stand the toss of staying up all night, so he let Xia Xiangxi watch over him, and he must take care of Ma Po's shoes.

Naturally, Xia Xiangxi didn't dare to be negligent, and stayed by Ma Po's body to guard. She also hoped that Ma Po would come back soon, which showed that the evil spirits over there were not very difficult to deal with.

About an hour passed, but Ma Po didn't wake up.The window was shaken by a gust of cold wind, and there was a "bang", as if a window sash had been suddenly pushed open from the outside.
