I was dumbfounded.
After a moment of pause, the villager turned around and walked out stiffly.
After he left, I discovered that there were two people outside the hospital, walking towards me in a hurry.
One of them is Luo Yinpo, and the other one is my father!
After they entered the house, Luo Yin Po was still staring outside with a livid face.
My dad looked worried. Seeing that I was fine, he strode up to me and hugged me hard.
"It's okay...it's okay." There was fear in his tone.
Now that I saw that my father was fine, my fear finally subsided a little, and I grabbed his hand and wouldn't let go.
"Luo Yinpo, this matter seems to be getting more and more difficult to handle, but what should we do? Are you sure? How about... I go to find the ghost woman again?" My father frowned and whispered. asked.
"Ju Yang at the age of six, Yang Ju at the age of twelve, and Yangguan at the age of twenty-two. That woman has to let this kid go. This matter is really tricky."
Luo Yinpo lowered her head, and her dry face seemed to be filled with a little black energy.
The black energy was on the cheekbones, Yintang, and middle part of the body. It seemed to be drilling into Luo Yinpo's mouth, and it was particularly penetrating.
But I understood her words clearly, that woman?
The sneaky one that’s been pestering me is a “woman”? !
"Tomorrow is the winter solstice. I'm afraid I really can't stop you. When it gets dawn, you can go find He Gui Po. I have an old relationship with him and he will help you." Luo Yin Po said again.
My father nodded repeatedly, gritted his teeth and said, "With the Yin-catching woman, the ghost woman, and me, the one who fishes corpses out of the water, there's no way she can do anything to Yin-Yang!"
Luo Yinpo shook her head faintly, her eyes fell on me, and there was complexity in her turbid eyes.
"Tomorrow, I'll invite Granny He during the day. We have to return to this yard before dark. The three of us will protect the baby. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive."
"Didn't you see that villager just now? Her methods were very cruel."
Luo Yinpo's words made my heart skip a beat, and I felt even more fearful.
I almost understood again. The villager's apology was because of that woman!
She wants to kill me again, but she won't allow anyone to insult me? !
"Baby, you go to bed, I want to discuss things with your father." After saying that, Po Luo Yin used her eyes to signal me to go back to the room.
My father also looked solemn. I couldn't stay in the main room anymore, so I had to walk back to the house with difficulty.
Vaguely, I heard Luo Yinpo whispering a few words again.
She said that the pregnant woman who came to the door was pitiful. She was so frightened that she couldn't receive vaginal discharge for a while...
After a while I returned to the house and could no longer hear their voices.
Lying on the bed, my body still hurt, I looked at the window paper uneasily, but now there was no shadow printed on the window.
My mind was so sleepy that I thought of Luo Yinpo in the village asking the villagers to apologize...
She knew this would happen! ?
She and my dad must know more, but they didn’t tell me...
The sleepiness became heavier and heavier, and I drifted off to sleep.
When I woke up the next day, the sunlight in the room was dazzling. The pain in my body was much better, and my mind was much clearer.
I quickly got out of bed and entered the main room.
The coffin in the room has been sealed, and there is a lot of food on the wooden table against the wall. My father is arranging his belongings, and Luo Yinpo is making clay figurines.
There is also a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks on the table.
"Yin Yang, you have something to eat. If I give you another thing, I have to find the ghost woman for help." My father suddenly raised his head, looked at me and said.
There was something indescribable on his weather-beaten round face.
I suddenly discovered that his face seemed to have a black aura similar to that of Luo Yinpo.
And the words are a bit hollow, this feeling is extremely weird...
But I was really hungry. After sitting down, I took a steamed bun, took a bite of vegetables and wolfed it down.
I quickly filled my stomach and then looked at my dad's hands.
He lowered his head, but clenched his hands tightly.
After a while, my father handed his hand to me. When he opened his palm, there was a piece of dark jade inside.
My expression suddenly changed, and I said in astonishment: "Dad, why did you give me Gu Jade?"
Gu jade is a necessary item for corpse fishermen to enter the water. Only with Gu jade can they be regarded as orthodox corpse fishermen and have the blessing of their ancestors.
Although I have followed my father in collecting corpses since elementary school, I have never gotten started on my own because I don’t have Gu Jade yet.
And my father is now in his prime, so it is impossible to just change the mantle.
But my father put the Gu jade into my hand without any explanation, and his eyes became extremely solemn.
"When you were six years old, your father taught you how to fish for corpses. Your destiny was extraordinary, and your skills were already better than many people who fished for corpses. Dad gave you Gu Jade because he wanted the ancestor to bless you through today! From now on, he will take over dad's mantle. ! Dad only has hope in this life. If you can’t survive today, dad’s life won’t mean much.”
As he said that, my dad patted me heavily on the shoulder again, with a smile on his face.
The next moment, he stood up directly, took another careful look at Luo Yin Po, and whispered: "Luo Yin Po, I will come back before dark, please leave the yin and yang to you."
After saying this, he strode out of the main room, and his figure gradually disappeared from my sight.
I tightened my grip on Gu Jade, but my father's words made me feel sour and moved.
In fact, I am an adopted son. For the past twenty years, my father has treated me as if he were his own child. Now, he is protecting me with all his strength!
I secretly swore in my heart that after today, I will definitely not disappoint my father!
Make good use of his corpse-catching skills! Let him enjoy peace and happiness.
In my thoughts, I lowered my head and looked at Gu Jade carefully.
This is my first time holding it.
There are many relief patterns engraved on it. From a distance, it looks dark, but up close, it appears to be clearly layered.
There is a canoe in a rough river.
The corpse fisher, with a rope wrapped around his shoulders and a dagger in his mouth, stood hunched over the edge of the wooden boat, as if he was about to fight!
In the river, the corpses and evil spirits floating up and down were baring their teeth and claws, trying to drag him into the water!
In a daze, I seemed to hear the shouts of the corpse collector...
Finally, I hung the Gu Jade around my neck and held it cold against my chest. My body couldn't help but shiver.
I looked at Luo Yin Po again from the corner of my eye. She was still pinching the potter, not looking at me.
But I am also very grateful to Luo Yinpo.
I just knelt down for her and told her to die, but in order to protect me, she provoked such a fierce sneak...
I also vowed to myself that I would never break my promise!
Time passes slowly...
It was noon, then afternoon.
At first I was excited, because the He ghost that my father invited was not a simple person.
That’s the goddess from Hejia Village on the other side! No amount of sneakiness can stop him.
But when it was getting dusk, even getting dark, my dad hadn't come back yet...
This makes me uneasy.
Even Po Luo Yin was pacing back and forth at the door of the hall with her hands behind her back...
