Chapter 35 Bamboo Forest Graveyard

Yi Xingchen caught up with Master Gongsun He and returned home together. Yi Xingchen wanted to pack up his things and prepare to set up a stall, but Gongsun He went to the inner room and sat on his bed in a daze. Yi Xingchen was not easy to urge him, so he took a broom to sweep the yard well, then took a stool and sat at the door, watching the people coming and going to set up a stall, waiting for Master to get up, but Master didn't come out for a long time.

It was not until noon that Yi Xingchen went back to the house to cook and found that his master was sleeping in bed. This was rare. In Chengsheng's memory, Gongsun He took his apprentice to set up a stall after breakfast every morning, and went home at sunset, almost without interruption. Even if he was sick, he would go as long as he could get out of bed. But today he was lying on the bed in broad daylight, and it seemed that he had put the money to make money by setting up a stall.

Only then did Yi Xingchen realize that the brief affair last night, coupled with the death of the Xinghua girl, had indeed hit him beyond imagination.

Yi Xingchen started cooking and stir-frying. Although there was still half a piece of pig in the water, he didn't dare to move without the master's instructions. Only Aunt Liu, who was selling vegetables, forced them to buy the two big vegetables for five cents and cooked a vegetable soup.

After it was prepared, it served it in a bowl and sent it to Gongsun He's bed and greeted him for dinner.

Gongsun He was still lying inward, as if he didn't hear it.

Yi Xingchen had no choice but to put the bowl of rice on the stool at the bedside, and then brought a bowl to the yard to eat.

As soon as I ate a few chopsticks, I heard someone shouting outside the yard: "Does Mr. Gongsun, the fortune teller, live here?" The person next door told him that he was here, so footsteps came over. Yi Xingchen felt that the sound was very familiar, and the slightly fat vegetable farmer Liu immediately appeared in front of him. Could it be her?

Yi Xingchen stood up with a bowl and looked at the entrance of the yard. Sure enough, a middle-aged woman appeared at the door, followed by two children, dragging her nose and shrinking, and entering the yard together.

Aunt Liu was overjoyed when she saw Yi Xingchen at first sight. She stepped forward and said to Yi Xingchen with gratitude and nervousness: "God, thank you... By the way, where is your master?"

Yi Xingchen couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw Aunt Liu's fortune telling. That day, he would definitely encounter unclean things when he went back, and he also taught her how to resolve them. Seeing that she was so anxious to find him and his master, she was full of excitement when entering the door and was full of gratitude, and knew that the method he taught him must have worked.

Yi Xingchen nodded to the inner room: "Master is a little uncomfortable and is lying in the room."

Aunt Liu quickly stepped in, and without any hesitation, went straight to the inner room. Seeing Gongsun He lying in the side, he knelt on the ground, and at the same time pulled the two children behind him and knelt beside him, saying to Gongsun He: "Mr. Gongsun, I will bring the children to thank you for your life-saving kindness. Thank you for your master and disciple for telling fortunes to save me."

After saying that, Aunt Liu kowtowed three times.

Gongsun He was shocked when he heard her say this and sat up and saw her like this. Before he could react, Aunt Liu had already pulled the child around and kowtowed three times to Yi Xingchen who followed him and stood at the door of the inner room. Yi Xingchen was also shocked and quickly put down his bowl and supported him with his hands: "Aunt Liu, what are you doing? Get up quickly, get up and sit and talk."

Yi Xingchen pulled up two children, and Aunt Liu stood up. Before she could speak, her eyes turned red. Her voice was a little choked because of excitement: "I asked you to tell me a fortune before I went back that night. You guys told me to encounter unclean things on the road. I still didn't believe it. At that time, you said you wanted to use blood to wipe your face and hands to ward off evil spirits. I couldn't bear to pay, so I didn't buy it. I thought it should be fine, but I didn't expect to encounter those unclean things."

Yi Xingchen took a long bench and placed it by the wall of the inner room: "Aunt Liu, sit down and talk slowly."

Aunt Liu agreed, pulled the two children to sit down on the long bench, and said to Gongsun He: "It was almost midnight when I passed the cemetery. As long as I passed the cemetery, I went down the slope and arrived at the village. I picked up the cube and gritted my teeth. As a result, just like Gua'er, I was in that place where the bamboo forest was overgrown with thatch, and I felt that someone was calling me, calling me a name, and blowing breath behind my neck. I was so scared that I was scared, but I didn't dare to turn around, so I could only speed up my pace. I ran out of the cemetery bamboo forest in one breath, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when I walked forward, I felt something was wrong, because there was another cemetery bamboo forest in front of me, which was where I had just run!"

Listening to the scene she described, Yi Xingchen felt a chill in his back heart.

Aunt Liu swallowed and continued, "I was scared, but I ran forward with my teeth and ran through the bamboo forest in the cemetery again. But when I went forward, I saw the same bamboo forest in the cemetery. I knew it was broken. The old man said that this was called a ghost hitting a wall, and I couldn't get out of that place no matter how I walked. I started crying, threw away the cube and ran away empty-handedly, crying and scolding, but it was useless. I ran several times in a row. After each time, the bamboo forest in the cemetery appeared in front. That was called

The sound of my name is always behind me, and it keeps blowing at my neck. I ran over and over again and again, and I don’t know how long I ran. After running, the cemetery bamboo forest appeared in front of me again. In the end, I was exhausted and couldn’t run anymore. I thought I would die here. I still have two children and the elderly, all relying on me. I’m going to die, and they are afraid they won’t be able to survive. What should I do? At this moment, I remembered what Guaer said."

Aunt Liu turned to look at Yi Xingchen, her eyes full of gratitude: "I remembered that I told me that I could use blood to wipe my face and hands with blood to avoid evil. But where did I go to find blood at that time? I don't know if human blood is good without blood? I heard that the blood we women don't like every month is also something dirty, and maybe it can be used. And I happened to have a menstrual period. I didn't care about anything else, so I quickly took off my pants, took out the bloody straw paper on my lower body and wiped it all over my face, hands and legs. I could smell the disgusting smell of blood. After wiping these, the sound of my name behind me suddenly disappeared, and the wind was gone. The bamboo forest in front of me also turned into a black wood, the wood at the entrance of our village. After passing this wood, I went down to half a slope and arrived at the village."

Yi Xingchen smiled. In fact, she asked Aunt Liu to use the so-called black blood to wipe her face. It was not because the black blood could exorcise evil spirits, but just to change the color of her surface and change the hexagram. So wearing red clothes is also possible. However, Aunt Liu accidentally used human blood to wipe her face. The effect was actually the same, thus resolving the result of the original hexagram and becoming a small evil spirit. In this way, she could break through the so-called ghost-hitting wall.

When Aunt Liu said this, she showed a sense of fear and gratitude on her face: "As soon as she saw this scene, I knew that the ghost was definitely not there. I ran like crazy, ran through the woods, ran down the mountain, and rushed into the village. Everyone in the village was asleep, and basically no one was on the light. I rushed to my doorstep. My Ahua Dog barked at me, and I hugged Ahua Dog excitedly and started crying. When the neighbor heard the noise, he opened the door and came out. With the light, I found that my legs were still naked. Then I remembered that when I took off my pants and took the straw paper to wipe blood, I found that the ghost was gone. I was afraid and surprised. I forgot to put on my pants and ran back naked with my hook. Although I couldn't bear to leave that pants, I didn't dare to go back to pick them up at this time. I quickly ran into the house and found a pair of pants to put on it."

Yi Xingchen smiled and said, "Isn't that okay? It's a false alarm."

Aunt Liu shook her head: "You didn't listen to me. When I lay on the bed, I felt cold all over my body, and my whole skeleton was about to scatter. It was hot and cold sometimes, sweating profusely, and trembling with cold sometimes. My mother-in-law asked me what was going on? I told her about it. My mother-in-law and the others were stunned. My mother-in-law quickly cupped me and drank ginger soup. It was not until noon the next day that it gradually recovered. However, after dark, I started to feel cold all over again. All the quilts and clothes were placed on my body, and a fire was raised next to me, but I still felt cold and I couldn't rest all night."
