Raising Ghosts Records

Chapter 57

Ye Feiji took Xiao Jianqi and me into her grandmother's room. There was a photo of Ye Feiji's family and grandmother on the desktop. Ye Feiji on it was only nine years old at the time.

We went to another room and saw that there was a altar with a statue of a small person on it, which was very similar to the small person I saw in my dream.

I asked Ye Feiji if your grandmother was a witch doctor.

Ye Feiji didn't know, so he asked me what a witch doctor is.

I told her that a witch doctor is a barefoot doctor who is good at using witchcraft to treat diseases, especially some strange diseases.

Ye Feiji shook her head, but she knew that some people from the Tujia and Miao people in Xiangxi could inject poison. As for whether her grandmother could do it, she didn't know, but according to what she heard from her mother, her mother's grandfather could do it.

Ye Feiji told me that when she was a child, her grandmother didn't live here before, so she doesn't know how she moved here now.There is nothing in this room, it is empty, and we have nothing to see, so we sit back in the hall and brag.

Not long after, Grandma Ye Feiji came back with a bamboo basket. In the basket were a bunch of bananas, a piece of pork, a slaughtered chicken, and a big golden grapefruit.

Grandma walked into the hall with a basket and smiled, put bananas and grapefruits on the table for me to eat, then turned around and put the things in the kitchen, and came out with an empty basket, called Ye Feiji and Xiao Jianzaki , Go to the vegetable field to pick vegetables together.

I was the only one left in the room, and I remembered the short mother-in-law that Tongtong had mentioned last night, and the black dog that jumped out of her sleeve. This seemed to be a different person from Grandma Ye Feiji.Ye Feiji's grandmother looks like an ordinary old farm lady, while the old lady in Tongtong's mouth is more like an evil witch.If I had known that this short grandma was Ye Feiji's grandma, I should have brought Tongtong here. She is still in the Tuojiang River now!

Ye Feiji's vegetable garden is not far away, less than [-] meters away from home, and they came back to pick vegetables soon.Ye Feiji and Xiao Jianqi washed vegetables at the door, while her grandmother cut chicken and pork in the kitchen, and I volunteered to help light the fire.

Maybe it was my granddaughter whom I hadn't seen for many years. Grandma Ye Feiji was always smiling, and she talked to me again after a long time, and when she saw that I couldn't understand, she compared her with gestures.

I asked Ye Feiji, there are also Hakka speakers in Xiangxi, if your grandmother can speak it.

Ye Feiji asked her grandma, and her grandma laughed out loud, and then started talking to me in Hakka.

It’s much better if you can communicate. Ye Feiji’s grandmother is really long-winded. She asks me where my home is, my name, my age, my parents, and my household registration, until the dishes are ready and served on the table.

In order to take care of me, Ye Feiji and her grandmother also spoke in Hakka. Her grandmother asked us why we came to see her suddenly.

Ye Feiji looked at me, and said that she hadn't asked me how I brought her to her grandmother's house, how did I know her grandmother lived here, she originally planned to come back tomorrow.

I said it was a complete coincidence, I just guessed that your grandma was a witch doctor, and wanted to take Xiao Jianzaki to see if she could cure her dumb disease.

Ye Feiji and her grandmother asked me at the same time, it was the first time they came to Fenghuang, how did they know that she was a witch doctor.

Under such questioning, I was speechless, thinking that this old woman is also Ye Feiji's grandmother, she shouldn't embarrass me, so I simply told them what happened last night.

Ye Feiji was very surprised after hearing what I said, almost dropped his chopsticks on the table, and stared at me, feeling like he wanted to ask something but didn't know how to ask it.

Grandma was also very surprised and asked me: "You raised that kid last night?"

I nodded and said yes, the kid was raised by me, and his name was Huang Tongtong.

Ye Feiji's grandma looked excited and asked me how I got that kid.

I also concealed half of the truth and told the half of the truth, saying that my grandmother caught it in a river in Guiping, Guangxi.

Grandma Ye Feiji praised repeatedly, saying that when she first saw it last night, she really thought it was a little girl who ran out to play at night, but after a closer look, she found out that it was a brat.

I asked Grandma Ye Feiji what was the black dog that my Tongtong saw coming out of your sleeve last night.

She smiled and said that it was the dog spirit, that is, the spirit body of the dead dog. It was the dog she had raised for more than ten years. She was reluctant to die, so she made it into a dog spirit.

My conversation with Ye Feiji's grandma has overturned Ye Feiji's world view. For a person who graduated from high school, he received an atheist education.Although Ye Feiji usually doesn't believe in these things, she is still very timid. She doesn't believe in ghosts but is also afraid. Many people are like this.

I asked Grandma Ye Feiji how to deal with the thief who stole the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum last night, and what was the evil spirit guarding the Polygonum multiflorum.

Grandma Ye Feiji didn't hide anything, she said that if she let the thief go, he would go crazy for a month, and he probably wouldn't dare to think about her Polygonum multiflorum next time he wakes up.

Knowing that the humanoid Polygonum multiflorum was planted back by me, Grandma Ye Feiji expressed her gratitude, saying that she already knew that it was planted back by humans, and she dug it back overnight last night.

Ye Feiji's grandmother said that the Polygonum multiflorum was asked for by two mysterious buyers. Two middle-aged people came to the house two years ago and gave her 2000 yuan.However, this human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum had grown up in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, but the two people never came, so they kept it and did not dig it back.

Grandma Ye Feiji saw that I was an expert in raising ghosts, and she also knew a lot about the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum she raised last night, and she was a friend of her granddaughter, so she didn't hide it.

She said that in the 30s, her father dug up the real century-old Polygonum multiflorum, but was forcibly bought by a local bandit leader with a gold bar. Fortunately, the more precious century-old Polygonum multiflorum Lingyuan was collected by himself.

As I guessed, finding a wild Polygonum multiflorum and putting the century-old Polygonum multiflorum spirit into it will allow Polygonum multiflorum to grow into a human form, and the growth time can be shortened dozens or even hundreds of times.

That is to say, the original real human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum needs to grow for a hundred years, but after being given the spirit of Polygonum multiflorum for hundreds of years, it only needs to grow for one or two years to grow.

Grandma Ye Feiji told me that the guardian of Polygonum multiflorum is not a vicious spirit at all, but a kind of Gu insect.This kind of Gu insect is made of ants, and usually lurks at the roots of the Polygonum multiflorum, as long as someone touches the Polygonum multiflorum, it will be bitten immediately.After being bitten by this kind of Gu insect, the person immediately fell to the ground and twitched, with bleeding from the ears and nose, and then became crazy. Every day at [-] o'clock at noon and [-] o'clock at night, the whole body had to endure the pain like thousands of needles, and it took a month. Get better.

This Gu worm is too scary, much scarier than the leech that the ghost old man Chen Erbing used to raise. Looking at it this way, Grandma Ye Feiji is really just a tall and honest witch.

We chatted about this, but Ye Feiji couldn't talk to each other, so he ate while eating.

I asked Grandma Ye Feiji if she could cure the dumb disease of the little girl I brought. Grandma Ye Feiji shook her head and said that she had a cousin in the mountains and rivers who might be able to cure it.

I asked Ye Feiji if he knew where the mountains and rivers were, and Ye Feiji turned around and asked her grandmother where the mountains and rivers were far away.

Grandma Ye Feiji smiled and said that it was not far away, even if she walked there, it would take at most two hours.

After dinner, Grandma Ye Feiji went back to her room and took out a snakeskin bag from under the bed, and then took out the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum from last night.

It was only during the day that I realized that this Polygonum multiflorum is just like a newborn doll, and it is completely different from the deformed ones grown from those sets.Just such a semi-genuine product was worth 90 yuan in the early 2000s. Before inflation in 2000, [-] yuan could build a two-story building.

Grandma Ye Feiji wanted to bring this human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum home to Ye Feiji, saying that it would be useless for her to keep it when she was old.

Ye Feiji and I asked her, didn't someone make a reservation?What if the two mysterious buyers come to the drug?
Grandma said it didn't matter, as long as it grows bad, and it was promised to come in a year and a half, now it's been almost two and a half years, and it probably won't come.

In the afternoon, Ye Feiji and her grandmother took Xiaojianqi to go shopping, and I came to the Tuojiang River alone, and went to the stone jumping bridge to call Tongtong.A big black fish swam to my feet, I stretched out my hand into the water, the big black fish spat out a pearl from its mouth, then turned around and swam into the deep water.

In the evening, I went to Ye Feiji's grandma's house for dinner. The food at night was richer than at noon, such as stewed pheasant with wild mushrooms and chestnuts.I didn't go back to the family inn where I stayed at night, and stayed overnight at Ye Feiji's grandmother's house.

Before leaving the next day, Grandma Ye Feiji called me into the room and asked if I could show her the kid.

I took out the beads without hesitation, and called Tongtong out. Ye Feiji was also there, after all, I don't have to hide when I say it.Her grandmother is not an ordinary person, she can see Tongtong, but Ye Feiji can't.But what surprised me was that Xiao Jianzaki could see Tongtong. She looked at me and Tongtong again, but Tongtong made a face for Xiaojianzaki, with big mouth and sharp teeth, which scared her to tears on the spot. Made us laugh out loud.

After breakfast, we were about to leave. Ye Feiji secretly asked me to borrow 300 yuan and gave it to her grandma, saying that I could make money now, and I wanted to support my grandma, so I didn't have to work so hard.

Before leaving, Grandma Ye Feiji took out a dog tooth from her sleeve and gave it to Ye Feiji, saying that it would keep her safe when encountering dirty things.

I asked if this is the black dog fairy!
Grandma Ye Feiji nodded, saying that the dog fairy can not only bite evil spirits, but also attach itself to wolves or dogs to bite evil people. Even if the possessed dog is killed, it will not be hurt. Give her a future dowry.

Ye Feiji blushed, and repeatedly said that he was still young, and he was still far away from getting married!
Our trip is to Shanjiang Town, looking for Ye Feiji's cousin, to see if he can cure Xiao Jianqi's dumb disease.If you can cure it, you will stay and treat it, if you can't cure it, you will go back to Daozhou. If you can't find the younger sister Li Mushroom, you will find Tongtong's parents first.

Grandma Ye Feiji insisted on taking the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum Ye Feiji home, but we are not ready to go back to Daozhou, so we will stay at her grandmother's house, and it is not convenient to carry it.
