Just when his eyes were dark and his consciousness was gradually blurring, there was a sudden stinging pain on the tip of his ear, as if he had been stung by a scorpion.
Then Liu Ruxiang's voice appeared in his ears: "You bastard, what are you yelling about?"
When I opened my eyes suddenly, the white ceiling came into view, and the bright sunlight made my head feel dizzy. Liu Ruxiang was standing next to my bed, holding my earlobe with her hand.
He woke up for a moment, then gently grabbed Liu Ruxiang's hand and held it tightly.
"Master, I'm so scared..." I was trembling, and I didn't even dare to recall the scene in the dream.
I glanced at the window next to me with my peripheral vision, still feeling a lingering fear.
Liu Ruxiang rolled her eyes at me: "You're such a loser, I'll make you cry even if you dream about it."
My vest and pants were completely soaked, and my head and body were covered with sticky sweat.
The cook was more curious about what kind of dream I had.
After listening to what I said vaguely, she murmured: "Dreaming about being chased by ghosts means that you have been worried a lot these past two days and are still worried and nervous. This matter will definitely haunt you in the future. , causing you trouble."
Liu Ruxiang spoke halfway, turned around and left. After a few seconds, she came back, grabbed a large handful of coins and put them next to my bed.
I counted it, and it was twenty-six yuan in total.
"You use a pen to write your name and birthday on the money. Later, you will set out from the entrance of the village, find the direction to the north, then take off your shoes and keep walking with your eyes closed. When you pause on the way, for example, if you stumble, If someone calls you, or if you feel tired from walking, or if you step on something, throw away the money in your hand, then turn around and go home. Don't talk to anyone or look back until you get home. Finish."
After saying that, Liu Ruxiang urged me to get out of bed quickly.
She explained in addition: "You are thirteen years old this year, so take even numbers and throw twenty-six. Remember, don't keep it for flowers. As for why it is the north, because the north is dominated by water, and gold is the source of water. This trick It's called losing money and diverting water. If the thing that makes you anxious and dreams comes true in the future, you will be able to get through it smoothly without causing any more trouble to you."
Liu Ruxiang explained calmly, revealing this great knowledge in just a few words.
"By the way, remember, dream interpretation is also an inherited technique. This school is not good at fighting with others, but it can often seize secrets. If you can meet people from this way in the future, it is better to make more friends."
"There is actually a lot of knowledge here. Interpreting dreams, breaking dreams, receiving dreams, entrusting dreams, entering dreams... What I teach you today are just little tricks." Liu Ruxiang waved her hand and motioned for me to leave quickly.
The interest welling up in my heart was strong, but I had no choice but to be interrupted at this time, so I had to put on my shoes.
I clutched the coins in my hand tightly and walked to the village gate anxiously.
Along the way, I took the initiative to smile when I met the elders in Liujia Village, but because the matter was important, it was not convenient for me to talk.
All in all, most people know me during the long period of time I have lived in Liujiacun. Some even remembered my name.
In the past, I would always say hello to everyone I saw. This was the rule in the countryside. Friends in the countryside should understand that cold-faced people who say nothing are often the least popular.
Seeing no one around at this time, I stood at the intersection of the village, closed my eyes towards the north, and then took the first step anxiously.
I can actually still feel that I'm stepping on solid cement pavement. In the darkness, you can feel the broken grass and scattered straw and stones under your feet. Occasionally, you will be brushed by the shrubs on the roadside, leaving dew with the smell of grass on your body.
I kept walking and walking, and just when the soles of my feet were getting a little sore, a sudden breath of cold air came from my back, and a cold, tepid hand was placed on my shoulder.
Immediately, cold sweat broke out on my back. I opened my mouth and almost shouted, but I held it back. Thinking back to what Liu Ruxiang said, I quickly sprinkled a handful of coins in my hand on the ground in front of me.
However, the strange thing is that when a large handful of steel coins fell to the concrete floor, it didn't make a single sound, as if it was caught by something in the air and taken away.
The next step is to turn around and go home, don't say anything, don't look back!
I twisted my body, opened my eyes, and ran home in a panic, not daring to stay even for a second.
Panting heavily, he ran wildly on the concrete path in the countryside. There was a "clinking" sound of metal in his ears that he hadn't heard for a long time, as if a coin had fallen to the ground.
"Ding-dong--ding-dong--"
This sound is like a life-threatening curse. Every time it sounds, my heart will beat violently. There is a faint voice calling me from behind. At the same time, a thought repeatedly appears in my heart: Stop, go back quickly, go back quickly, the money is gone. Go pick up the money.
I gritted my teeth and repeated Liu Ruxiang's instructions in my heart. Finally, I returned home safely without any danger.
"Master, can I, can I turn back?"
"It will be fine when we get home." Liu Ruxiang said calmly.
I looked behind me in shock, but there was nothing. It was surprisingly calm.
"Go and eat quickly, we'll leave early."
Only then did I remember that Liu Ruxiang had said yesterday that in order to cure Wei Linjuan of the sinister poison, she had to go to Mojia Village to find the pond where my brother was buried and find a special method of introduction. Perhaps more secrets can be discovered, and it can also settle a distracting thought in my mind and prevent others from being harmed again.
The whole thing was said to be to help Wei Linjuan cure her illness, but in fact it was more for me.
After I finished eating, I packed my luggage, and after a while I saw a car parked outside the door.
A middle-aged man in his forties got out of the car, handed the car keys to Liu Ruxiang, and then greeted us master and apprentice for a few words before walking away respectfully.
"Mojia Village is a bit far away. Let's drive there today." The cook said casually as she picked up the box.
"Master, is this car yours?"
Liu Ruxiang nodded: "It is not used for many occasions in the village, so I will leave it to my nephew for maintenance."
This is true. When Liu Ruxiang performs rituals locally, they are usually in several neighboring villages. They can be reached within a few steps. Some country roads are not convenient to drive. Or in places farther away, most of them are rich people, and they can pick up and drop off directly at their door, so there is no need to drive it yourself.
I didn't know about this yet, but now I was carefully looking at the black car at the door, and seeing the circles intersecting behind the car's butt, I felt even more proud.
Hey, I have a car at home too! None of the rich kids in the class who looked at people with their nostrils were in their families.
