Raising Ghosts Records

Chapter 53 The Third Uncle's Secret
I was able to find a little follower for Tong Tong tonight, and at the same time give another kind of rebirth to Wu Litao's daughter, Xiao Mengkong. For me, this is the best birthday present.

It was already very late when I returned to Village Chief Zhang’s house. Village Chief Zhang was still up. When he saw me coming back, he stood up and said that he was going to visit the grave tomorrow, hoping to borrow my motorcycle for use.I said no problem, there is a lot of oil, just be careful on the road when riding.

The next morning, Village Chief Zhang and his family went to visit the grave, and then Researcher Wang and Lao Ding went out with a bag each, and I was the only one left in the house.

Dizzy after a long sleep, I also got up and wandered around the village with nothing to do, Ye Feiji estimated that it would take many days to come back, she knew that taking Xiao Jianzaki was considered work.I have to pay her for her work, so she must be able to stay at home and not stay in vain. Ye Feiji is such a person, greedy, timid, and loves to take advantage of small things.

Most of the people in the village went to sweep the grave, and the whole village became much quieter. I was wandering in the village and unknowingly came to the door of the third uncle's house.At this time, Uncle San was basking in the sun leisurely at the door. He was sitting on a straw woven cushion, smoking a long pipe in his hand.

I wanted to brag with him in the past, but I thought about the difficulty of communicating because of the language barrier, so I gave up.I also stayed in the village for a while. Although I can't speak the local dialect, I can barely understand it, and my third uncle may not understand my Hakka dialect.

Just as I turned around and was about to leave to go elsewhere, my third uncle stopped me, and I asked my third uncle what he wanted me to do.The third uncle saw that I spoke Hakka, so he also asked me to come over in Hakka. I walked over and asked him in surprise how he could speak Hakka.

The third uncle moved the cushion under his buttocks, put the long cigarette stick in his hand and took two puffs, and then told me to sit next to me!I saw that there was no stool next to Third Uncle, and the ground was covered with chicken feces, so there was no place for me to sit.

The third uncle asked me why I stood and didn't sit down. I said I still like to stand. I just got up to exercise my muscles and bones. Young people can grow taller by sitting less.

The third uncle took another puff of the cigarette, then laughed and said that I am not a simple person!As soon as I fell asleep, I dreamed of the place where the bones of the two people who jumped into the river were hidden.I scratched my head and smiled embarrassingly, saying that it was just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. The third uncle laughed and said that his blind cat was really useless and could not compare to a young man.

I told him that the meat in the river turned out to be sand. I thought the third uncle would be surprised when he heard that, but he just said lightly that there are many incredible things in the world. He is old and doesn’t care about these things. Strange.

The third uncle asked me to show him my hand, so I stretched out my hand, and the third uncle grabbed my hand as if he was telling a fortune.I saw that he had a natural expression at first, then kept shaking his head, and then kept nodding. After shaking his head and nodding, he was suddenly startled.

I hurriedly asked my third uncle why he kept shaking his head and nodding, and why he was taken aback in the end.

The third uncle asked me if my surname was Li, from Guiping, Guangxi, and I just turned 15 years old.I said yes, third uncle, your calculations are really accurate, you are like a living god.

The third uncle chuckled again, saying that he kept shaking his head because he figured out how hard I was when I was a child. My parents died and the other never met, and my brother and sister were separated. This time I came here because I was looking for relatives.

Yes, the calculation is so accurate, I couldn't help but want to stick out my thumb, no wonder the third uncle kept shaking his head.

The third uncle went on to say that the reason he kept nodding his head was because he calculated that I had changed my luck, and that it was my luck to be very rich. A while ago, a windfall fell from the sky, saying that I would definitely achieve great things in the future.The third uncle said that many people can be successful because they meet noble people in their lives, and although I can't meet noble people, whoever I meet will become their noble people.Kong Ming in the Three Kingdoms period and Liu Bowen in the Ming Dynasty were all such people. The third uncle said that I would also be his nobleman.

After thinking about it, I think it makes sense, I can be regarded as the nobleman of Xiao Jianqi, the nobleman of Ye Feiji, the nobleman of Wu Litao and the nobleman of his daughter Xiaomengkong, but after thinking about it again, it doesn’t make sense, Goddess Zhang is my nobleman, and I'm not her noble person, but it's hard to say, maybe I'm the only one who can find her.

The third uncle said that he was taken aback because he figured out that I was raising ghosts, but there was no trace of ghosts on my body, but instead revealed a spiritual and vigorous energy.The third uncle said that because the people who raise ghosts have dealt with ghosts for many years, their bodies will be contaminated with ghosts. This is the same as the smell of oily smoke on chefs and the smell of fish on fishermen.

I asked my third uncle, who is so accurate in his calculations, if he can help me figure out where my sister is, and when will I find her.The third uncle shook his head and said that fortune-telling can't tell the whole truth, otherwise it would leak the secret and be struck by lightning, so I can't tell where my sister is.But what he wants to remind me is that he calculated that my sister and I were both born on Qingming Festival, and we will meet each other in the future, otherwise one of them will be short-lived.

The third uncle's words were like a bucket of ice water, drenching me from head to toe, and quenching all my expectations and longings.From the day my sister was taken away when I was six years old, finding her has been my life goal. Now this life goal is almost realized, but I have to wait another three years.

The third uncle comforted me and said that many things in life are preordained, and forcing changes will lead to bad results. If you find your sister now, but your sister can only live to be 30 years old, would you like it?
I sighed a long sigh, my fate is destined to be like this, I can only accept that there is no other way, but I will find someone to help me find it, and then I will meet her when I am 18 years old.

I asked my third uncle how he could speak Hakka!The third uncle said that he must speak Hakka because he is a Hakka, and then he talked about his past.

The third uncle said that he was originally a Hakka in the western Hunan area, and he was also a corpse driver. In 1926, at the age of 16, he followed his master to drive corpses from Huaiji back to Hengyang and passed by here.It was almost dawn at that time, and expelling corpses could only be carried out at night, so they went up to a hill before dawn, drove the corpses into a hole, and planned to go to Daoxian County to take a boat to Hengyang in the evening.

When I heard that the third uncle turned out to be the corpse-removing person mentioned by Goddess Zhang, I immediately admired the third uncle a little more. So there really is such a business as corpse-removing?How can a dead body walk?The third uncle smiled and said that he had just been with the master for two years, and before he learned how to drive corpses, his master died in an accident in the cave. Although his master left a book, he couldn't read and learn after he became blind.

The third uncle went on to say that the master and apprentice had an accident in that cave. At that time, his master was sleeping, and the nine corpses he drove suddenly lost control and ran madly into the depths of the cave.He hurriedly woke up his master and chased him for a distance with the torch. When the torch was about to go out, he couldn't catch up. He was afraid of an accident and had to back out.

When they came out to the entrance of the cave, there was a terrifying evil creature standing at the entrance of the cave. The evil creature could speak human language and said that he and his disciples should stay with their lives.There was an evil thing in front of him, and there was no way out. The third uncle's master could only take out a magic weapon to fight the evil thing, but within a minute, the evil thing sucked three souls and seven souls of the third uncle master, and occupied him by himself. Master's body.

The evil thing snatched the third uncle's master's body and laughed wildly, saying that he couldn't remember how long he had been asleep, and today it finally regained its human body.

The 16-year-old third uncle knew that his master had died tragically, and the person standing in front of him was no longer his master, so he was so frightened that his legs limp and knelt on the ground.The evil creature said it could keep him alive, but asked him to stab his own eyes, and asked the third uncle never to mention what he saw tonight, otherwise he would not survive the next day.

The third uncle thought that he still had his parents, younger siblings at home, and his family was in another country, so he couldn’t die, so he stabbed his eyes, stumbled out of the cave enduring the excruciating pain, and passed out after walking for a while. .

He passed out on a field ridge, and it was dawn at this time. A villager named Zhang Sanfeng found him and took him home for treatment.Although the third uncle has survived, he is blind and has no ability and conditions to go home. In the 20s, ordinary people basically relied on walking to go out. It was very difficult to travel far without money, and there were many bandits with money, and he was blind.

Later, the third uncle made a living by telling fortunes and divinations for people in the town, and raised money by the way, hoping to go home as soon as possible.However, after years of wars, warlords, the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, and the Cultural Revolution shortly after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, there was no chance or condition to go home. After the Cultural Revolution, he was almost 70 years old.

I asked the third uncle, what is that evil thing, and where did it go after it took over your master's body.

The third uncle said that after the evil thing occupied his master's body, he walked into the depths of the cave. As for what it was, he couldn't know.All I know is that it is more than one foot tall, with thick billowing black mist below its shoulders, two red horns growing on top of its head, and only one eye in the middle of its forehead.

The third uncle then sighed again, saying that he told me this secret that had been hidden for 65 years, and that he would not survive tomorrow morning.

As soon as I heard it, I immediately felt sad, and asked him why he still told me?

The third uncle said that after he went blind at the age of 16, his only wish in this life was to go home and find his family, and return to his roots!He did a fortune-telling calculation for himself and figured out that I was his nobleman, the nobleman who could send him back to his home, so he told me about that encounter.

I couldn't help but burst into tears when I heard this, for this blind old man in his dying years, and for the deep yearning for his relatives and hometown.It has been 65 years, and the third uncle is 81 years old. I am afraid that his parents are no longer alive, and the spiritual pillar that supports the third uncle for 65 years is to go home.

I asked where my uncle's house was, and he said that his home was in Yezhuping, Huayuan County, on the border of Xiangxi, Hunan and Chongqing.
