Chapter 4 Old Village, Ghosts
I took some breast milk and poured it on the corner where Li Mazi usually puts her embroidered shoes.
Soon, the originally clean and empty ground began to gradually appear with some faint water marks.
Until the end, the water mark formed two footprints, one large and one small, and they were tightly attached to each other, very clearly.
Li Mazi was even more scared and asked me what was going on.
I said with a dark face: "Those big footprints are from my mother. And the small footprints are from the child she just gave birth..."
Li Mazi was stunned: "Why did another child pop up?"
"You forgot that you gave birth just now."
Li Mazi's face twitched, and it was obvious that she remembered what happened before.
I briefly explained to Li Mazi the mother's meat mark. This mother's meat mark is actually the clothes and shoes worn by the pregnant woman when she died tragically.
Because when a pregnant woman is pregnant, maternal love is the strongest, she will definitely feel unwilling to die in an accident and have the greatest resentment, so it will affect her clothes.
What pregnant women are most afraid of is olive oil, because it will make them slippery. Breast milk will make her jealous, so they can use these two things to temporarily suppress the mother-child meat marks, but they will definitely not be suppressed for too long.
Unless you find another shoe and make two shoes apart, this is the perfect solution.
Li Mazi grabbed his hair and shouted angrily: "Brother Zhang, please come with me! Damn, I have to settle the score with the family selling my shoes, and almost killed me."
I immediately stopped Li Mazi and said that you should not do anything randomly when you are at someone else's house, otherwise you will never give you another shoe if you angered them.
Li Mazi gritted her teeth, and finally agreed with a slight tone.
I can't go tonight because I saw Li Mazi's expression and wanted to peel off the skin.
I tried my best to comfort Li Mazi, saying that they might just sell something for money and didn't know the inside story. In any case, they had to suppress Li Mazi's anger first.
That night, I almost didn't sleep. It was not until the east was hazy and bright that I finally took a nap.
But before I slept for a long time, I was woken up by a rush knock on the door.
It turned out that Li Mazi's son was back. Seeing that we were all fine, he jumped and jumped happily.
Li Maziyu told his son earnestly that he would go out for a long trip in the past two days to solve some problems, so that he could try his best to live in school and not stay at home alone.
Li Mazi's son was obedient and nodded immediately to agree.
Afterwards, Li Mazi and I drove to his hometown.
Li Mazi's hometown is Kaifeng, Henan. Like most rural areas in China, it is dirty and messy, and even the roads are not built in place.
It is precisely because of inconvenient transportation that the antique market here is promoted.
I couldn't help but admire Li Mazi who is really good at choosing places to cheat antiques.
It had just rained here, the ground was muddy, and the car couldn't get in at all, so we could only park at the entrance of the village, and we walked in.
When we passed by an old dilapidated house, Li Mazi said it. But when we saw it, we were desperate. At this moment, the door was locked, and through the gap, we could see the weeds in the yard and all kinds of messy pots and pans.
Needless to say, this family ran away.
Li Mazi endured his anger for a long time and finally burst out. He kicked the door open and sat on the threshold and cursed.
After Li Mazi scolded him for a while, a rural old man walked out next door. He glanced at Li Mazi, his face full of displeasure.
I hurried up to ask the uncle, why did this family run away?
The old man said angrily, what can I do if I don’t run away? This family is haunted, and if I don’t run away, I will have to lose my descendants.
I was shocked and knew that there must be something wrong with it. I immediately stuffed a bag of Yuxi in my pocket into the old man's hand. The old man's expression then eased and gave me a brief introduction.
It turns out that this family has also moved from neighboring villages in recent years. However, since they moved here, the family has become uneasy. Children will cry every night and can always hear footsteps in the yard.
Even over the past few years, the hostess has been pregnant three times, but she always has miscarriages due to various accidents.
Especially after I sold a Qing Dynasty embroidered shoe last time, my family became even more violent!
In the middle of the night, the family could always see a woman with disheveled hair sitting by the well, but as soon as they approached, the woman with long hair would jump from the wellhead and shine it in with a flashlight, but there was nothing.
On cloudy days, you can still hear the sobs of women from the well, which is extremely scary.
This is nothing. The real reason for moving was that they found that the children at home always stood by the well intentionally or unintentionally for a long time.
They were worried that their children would jump, so they moved.
What I heard was my scalp numbness and my body was sweating coldly. Why is this scene so similar to the situation in Li Mazi's family?
However, after I figured it out, I felt relieved. Needless to say, it must be another embroidered shoe that was causing trouble. It seems that the other embroidered shoe is indeed in this family.
However, I don’t know whether they were taken away by them.
So, I decided to find another embroidered shoe tonight and try to make this pair of shoes reunite.
After making up my mind, I immediately told Li Mazi the idea. Li Mazi was still a little scared when she heard it, saying Is it dangerous?
I said there is no big problem. Now you can prepare some things for me and use them at night.
My idea is very simple. Since we want to be together, we will definitely find another embroidered shoe in our hands at night, and we will definitely leave some "footprints" in the yard.
It's easy to find another shoe by following the footprints.
I made a list for Li Mazi and asked Li Mazi to get it all before dark.
I went to work as my neighbor's uncle because we were going to stay at his house tonight.
Money can make the devil push the mill, but under the temptation of money, the old man still readily agreed to me.
Li Mazi came back after half an hour after going out. He was carrying a large bundle of willow branches on his shoulders and a big bag in his hand. The bottom of the pot I wanted to use was covered with the ash I wanted to use.
Li Mazi and I evenly sprinkled the bottom of the pot into the yard, and then spread a large layer of willow branches on the bottom of the pot.
Li Mazi asked me what this means?
I explained that the bottom of the pot can leave footprints of embroidered shoes. Laying the willow branches into a step-shaped step to tell the other party that these steps can be stepped on.
Li Mazi said in surprise: "Brother Zhang, I can't tell that you are a capable person!"
I smiled and said that there is nothing I can do, it is all the experience left behind in this industry. I am half-baked and I have the opportunity to let you see my grandfather’s methods.
Then, we carefully placed the embroidered shoe at the door of the yard. After doing all this, we squeezed into the old man's house next door, and at the same time we pricked up our ears and listened carefully to the movements in the yard.
