That day, Witch Hao came to my house before five o'clock. She said that she would not be able to cast the spell until it got dark, and that I would treat her to a hearty meal so that she would have the strength to do it.
After it got dark, under the guidance of Witch Hao, I respectfully installed incense and candles in front of the altar, prayed, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
Witch Hao entered the room and looked at Wang Jinfa, who was lying ill in bed, and asked him how he had been feeling recently. She returned to the hall, lit the incense candle, faced the altar, clasped her hands together, and muttered: "The sky is round and the earth is round, the law is nine chapters, I I will write now..."
Witch Hao was barefoot and with her eyes closed, jumping around on the ground, and then she stood up and put a wooden T-shaped frame on the sand table, with two people holding one end each, to pray to the gods according to the law.
I followed Witch Hao's instructions, knelt on the ground, and quietly watched the progress of the situation.
Witch Hao muttered words: "The sky is spirited, the earth is spirited, the Supreme Lord will appear soon..." while using the hanging wooden branches of the wooden frame, which is the ji pen, to write back and forth on the sand table.
After a while, Witch Hao finished performing the trance, stretched her arms straight up, and shouted: "I have returned to the Yang Realm."
I stood up from the ground, stepped forward and lowered my head to look at the sand table. There were four words written on it: "Wild breath and cold".
I was frightened and asked Witch Hao: "What is going on?"
Witch Hao said seriously: "On the hilltop opposite your house, there are a few wild ghosts who lack clothes and quilts and are suffering from the cold."
I asked unclearly: "What does that group of wild ghosts have to do with me if they are cold?"
Witch Hao asked me: "If it were you, what would you do if you were freezing outside?"
I said without thinking: "Of course I have to go inside to avoid the cold."
Witch Hao said with a gloomy face: "That's why those wild ghosts will enter the house to avoid the cold and attach themselves to your son."
As soon as I heard that my son's illness was caused by wild breath possession, I was so frightened that I asked Witch Hao with a trembling voice: "Did you make a mistake?"
Witch Hao said seriously: "How could I be wrong? Did you see the words on the sand table? Fortunately, you asked me to come in time, otherwise, in ten days, your son will be dragged away by those savages. Went to Naihe Bridge and entered the City of Wasted Death. And..."
I couldn't wait to ask: "What else?"
Witch Hao said to me: "After your son dies, those beasts will not stop there. They will transfer to your old man. When the time comes, you will..."
As soon as I heard this, my hands and feet were shaking with fear. I pressed hard on the table to prevent me from collapsing to the ground. I asked tremblingly, "Then... what should I do?"
Witch Hao pondered for a moment, stretched out two fingers and said, "As long as you do two things. It depends on whether you are sincere in saving your son."
I said to her at that time: "In order to save my son, let alone two points, I am willing to give up even twenty points."
Witch Hao said: "First, add ten buckets of rice to the gods to drive away ghosts."
I nodded repeatedly and said: OK, together with the cost of treating you this time, it will be a total of twenty buckets of rice. I will ask my family to send it back with you later. What about the second point? "
Witch Hao stretched out a second finger: "The second point is that you have to find a way to put clothes on and a quilt to cover the cold beast."
I asked: "I can't see the wild ghost, so how can I let the wild ghost have clothes to wear and a quilt to cover it?"
Witch Hao said: "As long as you buy silk and satin and cover the mountains over there, those wild ghosts will have clothes to wear and be covered with sheets, and they will no longer suffer from the cold. In other words, the wild ghosts will not Come and pester your precious son again."
When I heard that I could stop the wild ghosts from haunting my son, I agreed without thinking: "Okay! Okay. I'll just follow your instructions."
Witch Hao pointed at the altar and said to me: "It's useless for you to promise me. You'd better kneel before the god and make a wish."
Eager to save my son, I followed Witch Hao's instructions, knelt in front of the altar, kowtowed three more times, and made a wish loudly: "If my precious son can be cured of his stubborn illness and freed from suffering, I promise to buy back the silk and satin. Cover the mountains over there so that the savages will no longer suffer from the cold. I hope the gods will bless me, I hope the gods will bless me!"
Witch Hao said with a gloomy face: "The wishes made before the gods are not trivial, they must be fulfilled."
I swore, "Of course! Of course! If I break my promise, I will be struck by lightning from the sky!"
Witch Hao closed her eyes, murmured a spell, and danced to me, saying that she had just asked the God Twenty-eight to drive away the little ghosts from my house. Starting tonight, my son will get better soon.
I thanked her profusely.
…
In the middle of the night, Wang Jinfa was still talking loudly in his sleep and screaming about ghosts, which made him upset and unable to sleep.
A few days later, Wang Jinfa's condition not only did not improve, but became worse and worse.
Faced with the reality, Village Chief Wang realized that he had been deceived.
Later, Village Chief Wang met Le Jingfu in the mountains.
Le Jingfu saw the haggard face of Village Chief Wang, who was usually bright and cheerful, and asked him with concern about his current situation.
Village chief Wang told Le Jingfu about his family affairs.
As Village Chief Wang was talking, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He choked and said, "I don't know what bad things I did in my previous life, Wang Chitian, and I got this retribution. The only single member of my Wang family in the fifth generation is the golden hair. I will inherit the property and reproduce for future generations." It all depends on him. Alas, I didn’t expect that he is now suffering from serious illness and serious illness. I am already old. The cycle of life and death is a natural law and no one can resist it. But the most miserable thing in life is to be a person with gray hair. Send it to the black-haired man. Seeing my son’s condition getting worse day by day but being unable to treat him really breaks my heart!”
After hearing this, Le Jingfu expressed deep sympathy and took him to find Zhang Shaofei to find a solution.
After listening to Village Chief Wang's story, Zhang Shaofei said to Le Jingfu, "So, you brought Village Chief Wang to see me?"
Le Jingfu nodded and said, "A Fei, you are very good at curing my sister-in-law's illness, so I think you may have a way to help this person in desperate situation."
Village Chief Wang begged: "A Fei, I sincerely beg you, the little miracle doctor, to heal my son."
Le Jingfu also interceded for Village Chief Wang: "A Fei, we are all from Tianlu Mountain, so you should try to help Village Chief Wang."
"Uncle Jingfu, I am not a doctor. I treat my sister-in-law based on the few herbs I have learned. How can I dare to treat others casually?" Zhang Shaofei told the truth.
Village Chief Wang repeatedly begged: "My son has been suffering from this disease for so long. I have looked for famous doctors to treat him, but nothing works. Fei, you might as well give it a try. If you can cure my son, I will reward you heavily." . If my son has any shortcomings, I will never blame you."
Zhang Shaofei was still hesitating: "This..."
"A Fei, help others when you can. You haven't been here long, but I know you love helping others, even risking your life. Please try your best to help Village Chief Wang." Le Jingfu Speak sincerely.
In desperation, Village Chief Wang took Zhang Shaofei's hand and shook it a few times: "Yes, if you can cure my precious son, I will give you ten acres of fertile land and a hundred hectares of mountains and forests. Even if I just give you a ride on my This is my old destiny, and I will not hesitate to do so."
Zhang Shaofei said seriously: "Village Chief Wang, it is true that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If I can really save your precious son from the entanglement of the disease and regain a strong body, it will be considered a great merit. I don’t need any compensation, I won’t take any of your fields and forests.”
Le Zhihua was listening, and also begged Zhang Shaofei: "Brother A Fei, since Village Chief Wang has come to beg you specifically, you might as well do your best and give it a try. Maybe a miracle will happen!"
Le Jingfu looked at Le Zhihua and said, "My eldest sister is a good person with a kind heart."
Village Chief Wang looked at Le Zhihua gratefully and said, "You Miss Leren has the compassion of a Bodhisattva. With such virtues, you will definitely be able to marry a happy man in the future. Here, I would like to express my gratitude to the Miss on behalf of my son. ”
After hearing what Village Chief Wang said, Le Zhihua was so shy that his face turned red.
Zhang Shaofei glanced at her secretly, quickly changed his gaze, stared into the distance, and responded to Village Chief Wang's request: "Okay, Village Chief Wang, I will go with you for a walk."
Village Chief Wang's sad face showed a long-lost smile: "Thank you... thank you so much!" After saying this, he bent down and bowed to Le Zhihua.
Le Zhihua waved his hand: "Village Chief Wang, you are too polite."
"Village Chief Wang, I will go to your house now to find out what's going on and take action." Zhang Shaofei finally agreed.
Village Chief Wang said happily: "That's great. I will lead the way."
Zhang Shaofei took off the bamboo basket hanging on the corner of the wall and followed Village Chief Wang and Le Jingfu out.
