Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 4: Old Village, Ghostbusters
I took some breast milk and poured it into the corner of my embroidered shoes.
Soon, the otherwise clean ground began to show some faint water marks.
Straight up to the end, the water marks formed a large, small and two footprints that stick tightly together and are very clear.
Li Mazi was even more scared and asked me what was going on.
I said with a dark face, "That big footprint belongs to my mother. And the little footprint is the child she just gave birth to...”
Li Mazimei stared: “Why did another child pop up? ”
“You forgot, you gave birth. ”
Li Mazi's face smoked and clearly remembered a scene that had happened before.
I briefly explained to Li Mazi the mother's meat mark, which was actually the clothes and shoes that pregnant women wore when they died tragically.
Because when a pregnant woman is pregnant, her mother's love is the strongest, and the unexpected and tragic death must be frustrating and the most resentful, so it affects her clothes.
Pregnant women are most afraid to eat olive oil because it makes them slide. Breast milk, in turn, makes her jealous, so these two things can be used to temporarily suppress the child's mother's marks, but certainly not for too long.
That's the perfect solution unless you find another pair of shoes and leave them in one piece.
Li Mazi grabbed her hair and yelled angrily: "Please come with me, Zhang Jia Xiao! Fuck, I had to find the guy who sold my shoes and almost got me killed. ”
I immediately stopped Li Mazi and said, "Don't mess with me when you get to someone else's house. Otherwise, I will never give you another pair of shoes."
Li Mazi bit his teeth and finally said yes with a hard scalp.
I couldn't make it tonight because I saw the look on Li Mazi's face and hated not being able to pull his skin off.
I tried to comfort Li Mazi, saying that he might just sell something for money, but didn't know what was going on. Anyway, we have to keep Li Mazi's anger down first.
I barely slept this night. It wasn't until the east was dull and bright that I finally took a nap.
Just after a short sleep, he was woken up by a rushing knock.
It turns out that Li Mazi's son is back. He's happy to see that we're all right. He jumps and jumps again.
Li Mazi said to his son that he was going away for two days to solve a few things and make sure he stayed at school as long as possible. Don't stay home alone.
Li Mazi's son obeyed and nodded immediately.
After that, Li Mazi and I drove to his home.
Li Mazi's hometown was opened in Henan and, like most rural areas in China, it was dirty and had not even been built in place.
This is precisely because of the inconvenience of transportation that has contributed to the antique market here.
I had to admire Li Mazi for cheating on antiques.
It's just been raining here, the ground is muddy, the sedan can't get in, we can only park at the entrance of the village, we both walk in.
Li Mazi talked about it when we walked past a shabby old house. But the two of us looked desperate, and at this moment the door was locked, and we could see the weeds in the yard through the cracks, and all kinds of messy pots and ladypots were piled up.
Needless to say, this family ran away.
Li Mazi endured a long time of anger and finally burst out, kicking the door open with one foot, sitting on the threshold and cursing.
Li Mazi scolded a little kung fu and walked out of a rural master next door. He glanced at Li Mazi and was unhappy with his face.
I rushed up to ask him, "How did this family escape?"
What can you do if you don't run? This family is haunted. If they don't run, they will have to cut off their grandchildren.
I was surprised to learn that something must have gone wrong. I immediately stuffed a bag of jade creek in my pocket into the hands of the master. Grandpa's expression only eased a little, let me briefly introduce.
Turns out the family has also moved from neighbouring villages in recent years. Since moving here, however, the family has become uneasy, with children crying every night and always hearing footsteps in the yard.
Even in the past few years, the mistress has had three births and has always had miscarriages as a result of various accidents.
Especially since the last time I sold a pair of Qing Dynasty embroidered shoes, the house got worse!
In the middle of the night, the family could always see a bearded woman sitting beside the well, but as soon as they approached, the long-haired woman would jump from the well head and take a flashlight inside, but nothing.
In the shadows, you can hear women sobbing in the well, which is extremely scary.
That's nothing. The real reason they moved was because on several occasions they found out that their children were always standing by the well unintentionally, just for half a day.
They were worried that the child would jump and simply move.
I'm listening to numb scalp and cold sweats. How can this be so similar to the Li Mazi family?
But when I figured it out, it was just another pair of embroidered shoes, needless to say. Looks like the other embroidered shoe is in the house.
It's just that we don't know if they took it.
So I decided to look for another pair of embroidered shoes tonight and try to get them back together.
When I made up my mind, I immediately told Li Mazi. Li Mazi is still a little scared. Do you think it's dangerous?
I said it's no big deal, now you go get me something to use at night.
My idea is simple, since the two embroidered shoes want to be together, the embroidered shoes in our hands at night will definitely go to find another embroidered shoe, and will definitely leave some 'footprints’ in the yard.
All we have to do is follow the footprints and try to find another pair of shoes, which is easy.
I made a list for Li Mazi so that she could get it together as soon as possible before dark.
And I'm doing the neighbor's job because we're staying at his house tonight.
Money can push the ghost, and under the temptation of money, Grandpa answered me with pleasure.
Li Mazi returned half an hour after going out, carrying a large bundle of willow branches on his shoulder and a large bag on his hand, which contained the bottom ash I was going to use.
Me and Li Mazi sprinkled the bottom ash evenly in the yard, and then laid a large layer of willow branches on the bottom ash.
Li Mazi asked me what that meant.
I explained that the bottom ash can leave footprints of embroidered shoes. And laying the willow branches in a staircase is telling each other these staircases can be stepped on.
Li Mazi said in surprise: "Brother Zhang Jia, you can't tell, you are a very capable man! ”
I laughed at the fact that I had a lot of experience in this business. I've been unfamiliar for half my life and had the opportunity to show you my grandfather's means.
Then we put that embroidered shoe, carefully in front of the courtyard. After doing all this, we squeezed into the grandfather's house next door, raised our ears and listened carefully to the movement in the yard.
