Raising Ghosts Records

Chapter 50 Three Experts
It took me a while to come back to my senses, and the whole family rejected me, saying that the cow drowned in the water by itself, so how could they let me buy it for no reason!Absolutely not.Aunt Zhang told Village Chief Zhang that Lao Wu’s buffalo gave birth to cowboys in September last year. When I got home, I told him that our family wanted them so that they would not be snatched first.

I took a look at Ye Feiji, I thought she would give me a bad face when I said such a thing, but it turned out that she was uncharacteristically smiling sweeter than anyone else, it was really weird.

The village chief's family was unwilling to accept my "good intentions" because they thought the cow was drowned by themselves, so they couldn't accept this heavy gift from me for no reason.But I have to pay, because this is the buffalo that Tongtong killed, but they don't know that's all, I must not pretend to be blind.

We couldn't stay by the river when the cow was gone, so we all walked back to the village, Ye Feiji pulled me aside halfway, and said that there must be a money tree planted in my house, and if there is no money to spend, we can shake it, right?
I said she was crazy, where is the money tree in the world, Ye Fei refused to accept it, and said that you are so many years younger than me, how come you have so much money?You said that you have no father or mother, no relatives, and your only sister has been separated for nine years. I don't understand where you earn so much money.

Ye Feiji's words left me speechless, I can't tell her how I got the money!Can only answer decisively.She grabbed my clothes and continued: "I don't care how you make so much money, but from now on I will follow you, and I won't leave if you drive me away. I want to learn how to make money from you!"

I patted Ye Feiji on the head and said to her: "Okay! Then you teach me how to ride a motorcycle first, and take care of Xiao Jianzaki!"

After hearing this, Ye Feiji said excitedly: "Got it!" After saying that, he bent down and pinched Xiao Jianzaki's fat face, which amused the little loli.

After returning home, Village Chief Zhang went to Wu Litao's house to help. I saw that Uncle Zhang was smoking with a long pipe in a sullen mood because the cattle were gone.I was afraid that the elderly man would have a heart attack, so I called him into the room, took 500 yuan from my pocket and stuffed it into his hand.Uncle Zhang declined again and again, but in the end he couldn't refuse me, so he accepted the 500 yuan, but told me not to tell the village head and his parents-in-law.I promised never to tell, so he felt relieved, took out a white cloth from the cabinet, and wrapped the wallet in several layers.

After Uncle Zhang packed his wallet, he climbed up the wooden ladder to the attic and hid it before coming down. I asked him if he was not afraid of mice?He said he was not afraid, he hid it well.Uncle Zhang said that I am really a good person, that it is very difficult for the three children in my family to study, and that my heart is as good as that of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

I just smiled and said nothing, I take your loss for granted, but I definitely won't say it.

It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was getting dark. I was lying on the bed with nothing to do in a daze.Thinking of my younger sister Li Miaogu, I don’t know what she looks like when she is 15 years old. I can’t remember what she looked like when she was [-] years old, and my memory is very vague.I also thought of the bronze knife and phoenix bone needle that I had lost, and the people I met this year, such as Goddess Zhang, Sangu and Sister Xuefei.I don't know where Goddess Zhang is, whether the third aunt lived happily after remarrying, and whether sister Xuefei's school grades are good.

Before I knew it, Ye Feiji came into the room and asked me to have dinner, and Xiao Jianzaki had an extra toy in his hand, which was a doll.I asked Xiaojianzaki where the doll came from, and she pointed at Ye Feiji with her little finger, and Ye Feiji proudly said that it took her an afternoon to sew it out.

Village head Zhang didn't come back to eat dinner at Wu Litao's house, and Aunt Zhang had no appetite because the cattle in the family died, so she was full after two bites.I wasn't very hungry either, but Ye Feiji devoured it voraciously, but seeing that she was 165 and weighed only about a hundred catties, I don't know where the food went.

Early the next morning, when I took Xiaomizaki to a small shop to buy snacks, I saw three mysterious people coming from the village, each carrying a big leather bag, and I knew they were from the city at a glance.

These three people are two men and one woman. One man wearing glasses is about 50 years old, and the other man and woman are both in their early 30s.They entered the village and asked people to come to the house of Village Chief Zhang, saying that they would stay in the village for a period of time, and hoped that Village Chief Zhang could find three rooms for him.There was only one vacant room in the village head Zhang's house, so he found two more rooms in the neighbors. It seems that the rent is 30 yuan a month, and the food at the village head Zhang's house is 50 yuan a month.

The woman in her early 30s who lived in the village head Zhang's house introduced herself as Wang, and she could be called Researcher Wang.The man who lives next door and wears glasses is named Sun, so just call him Professor Sun.Another man in his early 30s is surnamed Ding, just call him Lao Ding.

Researcher Wang is a senior researcher of the special department of the country who studies supernatural phenomena, Professor Sun is an aquatic biologist, and Ding Ye is a senior researcher of the special department of the country who studies supernatural phenomena. Of course, their identities were not known until later.

When they first came here, they revealed very little information, they only introduced their names, saying that they came down to investigate the river, and they asked Village Chief Zhang to be their guide during the days they were stationed in the village.It turned out that after the people from the police station reported the situation that day, this incident attracted the attention of the relevant departments, and an expert team was sent to investigate.

Professor Sun and the others asked to see the corpses of Wu Litao's mother and daughter when they first arrived. Village head Zhang made a difficult decision, saying that the dead were older and that the coffin could not be opened after it was built.At this time, Ye Feiji stood up and said that people can't see it, but cows can too!This morning a cow was turned into bones after being drowned.

I thought that Professor Sun was well-informed, but I didn't expect him to be very surprised after hearing this, saying that such a strange thing happened.He said that after receiving the notice, he read the report and thought it was a group of small carnivorous fish at most, and it was entirely possible to eat up people overnight.But after hearing Ye Feiji say that a cow becomes a skeleton in half an hour, it doesn't seem to be the work of animals, so Professor Sun glanced at Researcher Wang after speaking.

Researcher Wang immediately asked to see the skeleton of the buffalo. The village chief said that he saw the buffalo had become a skeleton and had no meat.After hearing this, Professor Sun blamed us, saying that you are really ignorant, you know that beef is valuable, and the value of this cow skeleton is thousands of times higher than beef!It has inestimable research value!

Professor Sun and his entourage immediately asked Village Chief Zhang to take them to the river to salvage the cattle skeletons, but Wu Litao's mother and daughter were about to go to the funeral, and he couldn't find time, so he asked me to take them to the river.

Take it with you, anyway, I don't go down the river, just point them to the location, and let them fish for themselves. Ye Feiji, Xiao Jianzaki, I, and I walked to the river with Professor Sun, Researcher Wang and others.

When they arrived at the place, Ye Feiji told them the location of the cattle skeleton, the sand that had been pulled out and buried by us, and they could be seen by diving into the water.

Professor Sun nodded while listening to Ye Feiji. After Ye Feiji finished speaking, Professor Sun took out fifty cents from his pocket and handed it to me.I didn't understand what it meant, so I asked why I was given fifty cents suddenly. Is it considered as a reward for leading the way?

Professor Sun shook his head. It turned out that he wanted me to go down to the river to help him pick up the cattle skeleton, and then give me fifty cents as hard work, which made me laugh out loud.

But why would I care about the 500 cents? I wouldn’t care if I was given [-] now. If Professor Sun politely asked me to help me just now, I might go down.Unexpectedly, he actually wanted to buy me to go to the river with [-] cents. When I feel like a beggar, there is discrimination against rural people in my bones.

I didn't take the fifty cents, saying that the family was in a hurry and left first, leaving Professor Sun and the other three stunned by the river.

As soon as I returned to the entrance of the village, I saw the funeral team coming out. Unlike the poor funeral team of four people who carried Chen Baogui that day, this funeral team consisted of 40 to [-] people.Wu Litao in the front seemed to be five years older again, holding a spiritual tablet in his hand, walking in front of him weakly, as if a gust of wind could blow it down.

Ye Feiji hurriedly covered Xiao Jianqi's eyes to prevent her from looking at it. According to the rural folklore, the people in the coffin will call the child's soul away, so anyone who meets a funeral procession child on the road cannot look at it.

I only saw a black coffin covered with a quilt, but didn't see Wu Litao's daughter Xiaomeng was empty, so I quickly grabbed the village chief Zhang in the team and asked.Village head Zhang said that the child who died in infancy does not need to have a funeral, and was wrapped up in a quilt yesterday morning and carried into the mountain to be buried.As soon as the village chief said this, I subconsciously glanced at Xiao Jianzaki, thinking that Wu Litao's daughter is also at this age, how pitiful it is.

Suddenly it occurred to me that Wu Litao's daughter, Xiaomengkong, was drowned in water. Maybe she was another little water ghost. Can I collect her soul and hand it over to Tongtong to be her little follower? Not better.

After returning home, she sought Tongtong's opinion. She was also looking forward to having a little follower, but Xiao Mengkong had just died, so she couldn't be called a water ghost. She had to wait until after the first seven days.However, Xiaomengkong is different from Tongtong. Tongtong has a fish body for several years and has eaten more than a dozen virgin boys, so he can show up on land and control fish in water.And Xiaomengkong had neither fish body nor human being, and he was drowned only a few days ago.In such a situation, if her soul is forcibly taken back, it is estimated that she will be annihilated in ashes when she leaves the water.In the end, Tongtong was asked to find a way, saying that Xiao Mengkong, who had left the water, could temporarily live in the bead.

But when it comes to beads, I don't know if she can live there. I asked Tongtong what happened when you were sucked in by beads last time in the mountain depression.Tongtong said that the bead could indeed absorb spirit bodies, but since her remains were buried on the back of a stone duck, this spiritual bead already regarded Tongtong as its owner, so it did no harm to Tongtong.I believe that with Tongtong's approval, it should be possible to suck Xiaomengkong's ghost in.

Tongtong told me that last time the wicked old man who raised ghosts sprinkled gold powder on his body, and it hurt like a fire, and it got into the beads, which were no different from water.During that time, it was relying on the beads to stabilize its soul body, otherwise it might become very weak, and the dozen or so virgins would have eaten for nothing, and they couldn't even show their bodies on the first and fifteenth day of the new year, and could only live forever. Hide in the water.
