Raising Ghosts Records

Chapter 29 The Black Baby Corpse
It is estimated that the baby's body was taken out after only four months of development in the mother's womb, and it is not known where it was obtained.In addition, it is said to be black, but it should be more grape-colored, but the red is too strong, and it looks black.

I don't know how long the baby's body has been buried here, and it hasn't rotted. What's the purpose of burying it here?The last time I encountered a baby's corpse, it was buried under a banana tree by a banana ghost, but this time it was more like a human burial, otherwise there would be a wooden box, that is, a small coffin.Judging from the fact that the ghost-raising old man came here, he should have buried the baby here, but why was he buried under the old tree beside the cemetery?Could it be another ghost raised by him?

What kind of person is the old man raising ghosts, and what is the purpose of raising ghosts?Several questions popped up in my mind, and suddenly Tongtong reminded me that she felt like someone was coming.Tongtong's words are always accurate, for example, the stone duck in Xiangsizhou last time has already dug up the hole to escape from last time.So I didn't ask any more questions, and immediately hid in the grass by the tree. I listened for a while, but I didn't hear anything.Just when I was about to ask where Tongtong was, something fell from the ancient camphor tree next to it, which was at least 300 years old, and fell heavily on the ground less than three meters away from me, making a dull groan. The sound was like a bag of rice thrown from the roof to the ground.

This sudden falling thing startled me, I held my breath and waited for something, after a while, the falling thing was not what I expected, and came towards me.What exactly is this?Seeing that there was no one after waiting for such a long time, I quietly got out of the grass and turned on the flashlight, and ran to the place where the thing fell just now, but found nothing.Careful lighting with the flashlight did not reveal any traces of the grass being smashed by something.This is really strange, obviously something fell just now, and the sound was so loud, it must be quite big, how could it disappear?Just when I was depressed, Tongtong told me to get out of here first!If she can't come out to help me, it will be miserable if she is in danger, so let me come back another day.

But I was not convinced, and asked her if she saw what the thing that fell just now was, and where she ran to.Tong Tong said that he couldn't see clearly, since it was not an animal, it fell and sank directly into the ground, just like throwing a stone into the water and sinking.

I gasped, what the hell is this thing, it can sink to the ground, and even Tongtong can't see clearly.I carry a cloth bag on my shoulder, hold a wooden box on the left and right, and hold a flashlight in my right hand.I put the wooden box containing the black baby's body into the bag, took out the bronze knife with my free hand, and searched around with a flashlight, trying to find some traces.

After searching to no avail, I was about to leave, but Tongtong yelled that I was the only one to be careful, but it was too late.I only felt my feet being stung like a wasp, and I yelled in pain. I jumped away from the flashlight and took a look, only to see a green snake nearly one meter long running away.

"Green Bamboo Snake!" I couldn't help calling its name. I didn't know how many snakes I killed when I was herding cattle when I was a child. I didn't expect to be bitten by it today.In the 90s with backward medical treatment, he was bitten by a poisonous snake in a remote rural area, which would be fatal.Even though it is only five or six kilometers away from Guigang, it will take an hour to go back to the hospital!Can you make it?
I threw the bronze knife on the ground, and with the flashlight in my mouth, I picked up the hoe I had just thrown on the ground, and caught up with the green bamboo snake and cut it into several pieces.After killing the green snake, I sat on the ground weakly, looked at the two teeth marks on my heel, and asked Tongtong what to do with a crying voice, whether I would die.

Tongtong told me not to worry, as long as she was around, I wouldn't die if bitten by a blood centipede, let alone a little green snake.Tong Tong told me that there was a ditch not far away, and told me to jump into the ditch, and she had her own way to deal with it.

According to Tong Tong's instructions, I walked more than 100 meters and came to a ditch about two meters wide.

Although the weather began to warm up in early February, the water was still quite cold. I don't know if it will help slow down the blood flow.Tongtong said that she didn't have the strength to show up on the ground, and asked me to throw the willow figure into the water, and I did so immediately, and put the wooden figure into the water.

I looked at the snakebite with a flashlight, and saw that the wound was swollen, faintly purple, and hurt like a burn.Just trying to urge Tongtong to hurry up if there is any way, this can't wait!But before he could speak, he saw leeches of different sizes emerging from under the stones in the ditch, in the mud, and in the water plants.There were more and more of these leeches as if they were going to the market. The big ones were as thick as a finger, and the small ones were as small as a toothpick. There were at least two or three hundred leeches.There are black leeches, yellow leeches, and green leeches in the leech group, and they all come down to my legs.After these leeches reached my feet, they all attached to my legs and began to suck blood desperately. It turned out that this was Tongtong's method, really amazing!
Only then did I calm down. How could there be snakes in February? It stands to reason that snakes are still sleeping in their caves, at least they come out after the Qingming Festival.

Due to the snake venom in the blood, many leeches fell off the legs in less than a minute, swam weakly in the water for a few times, then sank to the bottom and struggled a few times before dying.As soon as the leech on this side died, the one on the other side took up its post again. Within 1 minutes, my leg felt much better from numbness and pain.

Maybe it was the fear of death that occupied my mind. With so many leeches attached to my legs, if it was normal, I would have lost control and ran around madly.I am most afraid of molluscs, just like when I stole grapes before, a piglet worm thicker than my thumb fell on my head. I was so scared that I jumped into the pond like a mad cow, and ran away crying and screaming after landing A few hundred meters, no less than a cockroach getting into a girl's underwear.

But now, not only do I not feel sick and afraid, but I even think these leeches are very cute. Watching them die one by one, I just want to say, in my next life, I will be a cow or a horse, and I will cut grass for you to eat.

I was enjoying the life-saving rescue of these leeches, but suddenly they all left my legs, some of them died, and some of them swam away.I was about to ask Tongtong why all the leeches were gone, but Tongtong told me that it was almost done, the little bit of snake venom left was not dangerous, and if you sucked it again, there would be no blood.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that I don't have to die. Tongtong saved my life again. I must help her find her parents first.Picking up the wooden figurine and jumping into the ditch, there are small wounds on the feet, densely packed like corns, these are left by leeches.

When I was about to leave this place and go back to Guigang, I suddenly remembered that the bronze knife had been thrown on the ground and I hadn’t got it back, so I went back to look for the bronze knife. This thing should not be thrown away.

Back under the root of the tree, I found the bronze knife. Just as I bent down to pick it up, a black mass suddenly sprang out from the ground.This black thing was as big as a basket, like a bunch of folded black quilts, like steam from a pot, suddenly sprang up.

It was dark before my eyes, and the black thing covered my head. I felt like being covered with a quilt soaked in ice water. It was dark and cold and I couldn't breathe.

I stretched out my hand to grab the head randomly, but I couldn't catch anything. The thing looked solid, but it was a spirit body. No wonder it could burrow into the ground without leaving a trace.Tongtong told me to get the knife quickly, and I immediately knelt down on the ground and fumbled for the ground with my hands, but I couldn't touch the bronze knife that I could have picked up by bending down just now.

I wanted to ask Tongtong but I couldn't speak, and I couldn't breathe. When I almost passed out from suffocation, I saw a red thing in front of me, like a red-hot Luotie.It's amazing!In a critical moment, the bronze knife will always turn into a red-hot Luotie, but it will not be hot. I immediately picked it up and slashed three times on the top of my head.

After the three cuts were made, there was only a scream in the air like a duck in heat, but the sound was several times louder.I only felt a burst of relief, and then I took a big mouthful of air, picked up the flashlight to shine a light, and saw a cloud of black mist floating towards the tree.

The black mist, as big as a folded quilt, floated into a tree hole as high as a two-story building, and got in.This is really not an animal. This tree hole is only as big as a basketball, but it can get in. Could it be an animal?

Tongtong told me that this is a tree spirit, and that in the big trees near the countryside, people usually burn incense and worship them. After a long time, lonely ghosts and wild ghosts will take advantage of it and enjoy the incense for free. Some people say that it is the ghost of the land.

But why does it want to harm me?Could it have something to do with me digging up this little corpse?But this little corpse was buried by someone. Could it be that the tree spirit was placed here by the old ghost raiser to guard it.Then this little corpse is a ghost raised by the old ghost raiser, so why does he raise so many ghosts?
Being able to place a fish body for Tong Tong and a tree spirit for an ancient tree, this old man who raises ghosts is really not an ordinary person!It is far from being comparable to people like Goddess Zhang.The last time Goddess Zhang and I caught the fish demon, no one knew, but this old man was able to find his home, and Tong Tong was locked in the jar, how did the old man know that we caught it.

These series of questions tell me that the old man is not an easy person, but how difficult it must be to get news about Goddess Zhang and Tong Tong's parents from him!

Fortunately, I got this black baby's corpse, and there was a little ghost inside. I chased it back to the nest just now, and then I dug it out.I took out the small wooden box from the bag, opened the lid, and the black baby's body was still inside. This may be a bargaining chip exchanged with the old man raising ghosts. As for him killing Tongtong, I will talk about this later.

I closed the wooden box and put it back into the bag. When I was about to leave here, I suddenly heard the sound of a car driving on the road hundreds of meters away, as well as the headlights on the front of the car.
