The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 105 Ghosts and Zombies
It was already like this, and grandpa could only sigh.

Xia Xiangxi only knew the usefulness of silk vine grass after hearing what his grandfather said.This grass is also found in the northern plains.It always loves to grow in crop fields, entangle crops, and is a kind of parasitic vine grass.In the area of ​​the Miao nationality, it is said that it was Chiyou, who was regarded as the ancestor of the Miao nationality. After being killed by the Yellow Emperor, his hair and beard became.Chi You was originally the god of war feared by all ghosts and gods. If the silk vines were plucked before dawn and bound the feet of a sick person, that person would not be easily dragged away by the ghost.

Xia Xiangxi asked Grandpa why he didn't use weights?Grandpa used this method to keep people's souls before.Grandpa shook his head and said that this time the situation was different.The weight should only be used for people whose souls have not yet come out of their bodies.The soul of the child from Al's family has left his body, so he can only use silk grass.

Just after breakfast, I heard someone crying, loud shouting is the most unacceptable in the mountains, as long as you shout, the whole village will be known to every household because of the echo of the valley.

Xia Xiangxi's heart trembled, she already knew that Timing's Al family's child was gone.

Ma Po said to go there quickly, the child must be in suspended animation right now, if he is buried hastily, his death will not be a normal death, but buried alive to death, and then he will become a Kefu ghost. All the children in the village will suffer.

Xia Xiangxi is no stranger to Keshui ghost, she has such a memory in her memory.But a long, long time has passed, and Xia Xiangxi was still a child at that time, and things like memory will become shattered with age.

Kespo ghosts are the kind of ghosts that underage children are most likely to turn into. Such ghosts are usually only seen by children. He will pretend to play with those children. When those children meet Kespo ghosts , in fact, if adults are careful, they can also see that children who meet Kefu ghosts usually talk to themselves there. Do adults think that children are boring and talk to themselves?Or just think that children are too naughty, and it's not easy to take it seriously. In fact, when encountering such a situation, that child probably encountered a Kespo ghost.After playing with that child for a long time, Keshui ghost will take that child's soul away.

Xia Xiangxi asked his grandpa, A Guduo's child has the characteristics of a Kespoo ghost, does it count as a Kespoo ghost now?

Before Grandpa could speak, Ma Po interrupted and said, "Generally, after a woman is pregnant, it is taboo to tell the outside world that she is pregnant within three months. That is because the fetus is too young and has no soul to possess it. Such a child is more likely to miscarry. After three months, the fetus will be injected with a soul. At that time, whether it is a male or a female will begin to be oriented. The fetus will have a soul, and it will not be easy to slip. At this time, everyone is willing to share such a happy event. Share it."

Xia Xiangxi doesn't know whether all the 56 ethnic groups in the country have such taboos. Anyway, the most taboo thing about pregnancy among the Han people is to be known within three months.Therefore, if those female stars are pregnant, if it is less than three months, no matter what kind of evidence the paparazzi get, they will shut up and deny it. They will not admit the news of pregnancy until three months have passed.Whether it's a boy or a girl, you can't even say it, as long as you know it in your heart, if you say it, it will reveal the secret, and when the time comes, the male fetus will also turn into a girl.

Ma Po went on to say: "Aguduo's child, before it was born, was still only a soul. It was a ghost in its previous life, died before it was born, and entered the ghost way again. Such a ghost naturally has the greatest resentment. , is also one of the most vicious evil spirits. It has not enjoyed the life of an adult, and naturally it does not see the good of others, so it will harm those happy children out of jealousy."

After hearing this, Xia Xiangxi was surprised and thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Since Aguduo's child is already a Kespo ghost, it is infected with zombie poison. Can ghosts and zombies coexist?"

Grandpa took over the quarrel and asked Ma Po to go to Al's house first, and let him talk about the next thing.Ma Po left in a hurry, and Grandpa waited for Ma Po to leave before continuing: "Zombies are also a kind of ghost. The soul attaches to the body and makes the dead body move again. This is caused by ghosts. But Zombies are available, but ordinary ghosts are invisible and difficult for people to see. Aguduo’s child is now a living zombie. If it continues like this, it will not grow up, because its body is already dead. , unless it is buried in a corpse breeding ground, its body absorbs Yin Qi and the essence of heaven and earth, so that it can grow without decay, otherwise it can only maintain its physical body without decay."

Grandpa also said that he had encountered a zombie resurrection before.At that time, it was the most disastrous period in China in the 60s. Years of severe drought across the country caused many people to either starve to death or leave their homes to flee famine.Grandpa and grandpa also left home for a while.When the year was finally healed, grandpa and grandpa returned to their hometown. On the way back, they stayed with a family on the way.As soon as the grandpa entered the family, he found something was wrong. Although the young couple in that family treated them well, the grandpa kept staring at the host with terrifying eyes.The male host was frightened by the grandpa's eyes, so he always avoided the grandpa.

Grandpa saw what was wrong with grandpa, because although grandpa had a weird temper, he was kind-hearted and would never hate a person for no reason, let alone that person they didn't know well.Grandpa asked grandpa secretly, and grandpa told grandpa that the male master was a zombie.

Grandpa was taken aback.Grandpa said that person was not only a zombie, but also a drought man.This Hanba is a type of zombie. It is recorded in Taoism that when a Hanba is born, there will be no water left in the land of a hundred miles.This is a zombie that causes drought.This kind of zombie is changed by the dead within one hundred days after death.The corpses of dead people who have become Hanba do not rot, no grass grows on the graves, and water seeps from the graves. The Hanba ghosts will carry water to their homes at night.Only when the Hanba is burned will it rain.The custom of burning Hanba in the villages of central Shandong lasted for many years after the founding of the People's Republic of China before it was forcibly abolished by the government.

Grandpa told Grandpa not to sleep to death at night, listen carefully, you can definitely hear the zombie getting up to carry water in the middle of the night.

Grandpa paid attention to it, and it really happened at night.As soon as the grandfather went out, the zombie saw that he was found, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.

The grandfather asked: "You are already a dead thing in the underworld, how can you still miss the world? You have harmed people and occupied other people's bodies?"

The zombie begged: "I didn't rob people of their bodies, but that day, my original body was dug up and burned, and I couldn't go back to my home, so I happened to meet this body that was starved to death halfway. I saw that he was dead, so I lived in his body. Afterwards, I treated his family well. If it wasn’t for me, their family would have starved to death. As a zombie, I can’t enter reincarnation, so I wanted to use this body Get a taste of what it is like to be a human being. If the children in this family grow up and don't need me, I will naturally leave!"

Grandpa sneered and said, "I'm talking nonsense, how can there be zombies that don't harm people in this world? You go to this house to fetch water, do you know what kind of drought it will cause? How many people will be killed?"

The zombie said: "I just can't change my past habits. I'm already restraining myself. Moreover, I have never been in close contact with my family so as not to deplete their yang energy. Please forgive me, Master! It's not like you don't know if there's a severe drought, I'm really sincere, and I will never damage any grass or tree here, not a hair!"

Of course, the grandfather refused to believe the zombie's sophistry. At this time, the zombie's daughter-in-law came out. She heard everything, but pleaded for the zombie.Even if it is a zombie, without this zombie, their family would have been a ghost long ago.

The little daughter-in-law begged hard, but the grandpa refused, so the little daughter-in-law turned her face and questioned, saying that her family took them in kindly, and that they would avenge their kindness and destroy their conscience.

The grandpa still refused to be moved. When the little daughter-in-law saw that the grandpa was so stubborn, she was completely annoyed. She tore the clothes to pieces and loosened her hair with her own hands, and shouted to the outside, saying that the grandpa wanted to cheat on her.

Grandpa was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He sat upright all his life, but at this age, he was framed by that little daughter-in-law. Naturally, he couldn't bear the bad breath.

When the little daughter-in-law made such a noise, everyone in the village rushed over and wanted to beat the grandfather and grandfather to death with sticks.Under such circumstances, grandpa had no choice but to subdue that zombie.Force zombies to tell the truth.Those old people in the village who knew the original zombie said that the village had indeed burnt the Hanba a few years ago.That Hanba is an old man in his 70s or [-]s.When the zombies were burned, many people in the village also went to see the excitement.A large group of Hanba's sons and daughters knelt in front of Hanba's grave, blaming their father for harming their neighbors after his death, causing them to be hated by the villagers.

At this time, the little daughter-in-law heard that it was true, and also heard that the Hanba was already an old man of four generations, so she couldn't bear it anymore. How could she, a young daughter-in-law, be willing to be with the man who occupied her husband's body? The old man lives together?Only then did he tell the truth and return his grandfather's innocence.

Grandpa subdued the zombies, but he couldn't bring up the bad breath of being framed by that little daughter-in-law. It was for this reason that not long after returning to his hometown, grandpa was depressed and passed away not long after. How to love to meddle in other people's business is also one of the reasons for this lesson from grandpa.
