Chapter 16: Spirit Stones Save Life, Ghost Claws Appear
Dad was pushing and squeezing Mom's water and looked up at me when he heard me yell.
"Still breathing, don't panic." Dad's voice was steady with a hint of trembling: "We've called an ambulance, it should be fine, the water has all been spit out."
At the same time, the siren sounded loudly, the ambulance came, we all hands and feet to carry mom on the car, my father and I followed the ride up. The car sped along, and the doctor in the car began to give first aid.
"It's not life threatening." The doctor said after checking mom's body.
Hearing this, Dad and I both breathed a sigh of relief.
The doctor then pointed at the spirit stone around mom's neck and asked, "What is this thing hanging? How come it doesn't go? What about strangling the patient's neck?"
With that, the doctor reached out to tug on the yellow wire.
"Don't move!"
Dad and I yelled in unison, and again almost simultaneously reached out to stop the doctor, who was taken aback and confused for half a day.
I said, "This thing is an amulet, and it's because of it that my mom is okay!"
The doctor froze again, and the nurse next to him looked at each other and skimmed at the same time.
Dad said, "I'm sorry, but the kids believe in this, so don't move."
The doctor then stopped saying anything.
I asked my dad what was going on, didn't he say that mom's fate was against water? Chen Hansheng have explained, do not allow to go to the water, but why good reason, mom will fall into the water, almost drowned?
Dad said before and after, I realized the original story.
It turned out that mom and the village a few village women together to the river to wash clothes, the river is flowing through our village river, near the bank is not deep, plus it is a large number of women to go together, so also put the taboo to the back of the mind.
Mom washing clothes, put the basin on the river, clothes in the rubbing board rubbing, rubbing for a while, suddenly heard someone calling: "Hey, your basin floated!"
Mom looked, the water basin into the river, with the water a drift a drift, fortunately not far away, mom quickly reached out to fish, the result is another wave of water to hit, the basin floated forward a little more, mom is also close to the distance of a slap will be able to reach, so mom went down a little, the result is to reach out to fish, the basin once again floated forward a little more, mom continued to go forward... ...
In this way, the water basin floats farther and farther, the mother also gradually down to the river, the other women feel wrong, are shouting mother, let her up, but at that time it was already too late, the mother's body sank, suddenly fell down, the appearance, as if someone pulled the mother underwater, in an instant, the water did not go over the top of the mother's head!
A cadre of women also have a water child, hurry to go down to save people, some shouting for help, people were eventually fished out, Dad also rushed to ......
Dad finished, I have been scared out of a sweat, which is how mysterious ah, fortunately, is someone on the side, or mom must be a tragedy!
These two events, both happened bizarre, but the results are also considered unfortunate, or the reason for the spirit stone, Chen Hansheng saved the life of our family of three, say anything must go to see his old man.
I even want to do dad, mom's work, let me succeed to the Chen family must, otherwise this five elements of the ghosts of revenge, when is the end ah.
I just said a few words: "Dad, home Liu Wei's tablet cracked, from now on, you probably will not suffer from bad luck, Liu Wei does not bless me, the five elements of the ghost congregation again should find my business. You see ......"
Words have not finished, Dad suddenly exclaimed, "Ya! What is this?"
I looked down, only to see my father turned over my mother's pants leg, pointing to my mother's ankle, where a handprint was printed impartially, not too big, not too small!
A black handprint!
Five fingers were clear and unusual, and the color was black like ink, almost spilling out of the flesh!
Dad and I showed it to the doctor, who looked at it and said, unimpressed, "It's probably a mark left by a tangle of watercress."
"How could it be watercress?" I said, disgruntled, "It's clearly a human handprint, with all five fingers clear!"
The doctor said impatiently, "That's a coincidence! How could there be someone in the water? Can't it be that someone else was tugging on her feet under the water?"
"It's a drowned ghost!" I said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
"You're the one talking nonsense!" The doctor said, "How old are you, and you're just a ghost, you're really incorrigible! What drowned ghosts are just water plants!"
I am also lazy to ignore the doctor, I told dad: "Not to go to the hospital, anyway, they also said that mom is fine, I think we go directly to the Chen family village, but also to find old Mr. Chen, this black handprint on the ankle is really scary, I'm afraid that it will not be the same as the year of me, there is something to haunt mom?"
Dad pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Good. Doc, you guys pull us back in."
The doctor was completely out of his mind with anger at us and didn't want to bother with us, and simply said, "We're not responsible for pulling us back, if you want to go down, you go down now!"
I was also angry, down on down, still lack you a car how, I can carry back!
My father and I gambled and got off the car, the doctor also came to say: "Pay the fare before you go!"
I was angry all the way to the indignation, not to mention, at least a good attitude.
In fact, in hindsight, I had a bad attitude at that time, but the doctor first wanted to yank my mom's spirit stone, and then said I was incorrigible, so my attitude could be good?
After getting off the bus, I really carried my mom back.
I'm a twenty-year-old boy, five-foot-eight, although thin, but also young and strong, every day to do farm work, mom is short, a total of one hundred pounds out of the beginning, not as heavy as a bag of wheat, back or do not bother what vigor.
Back to the village, looking for a pedal tricycle, riding straight to Chenjia Village.
Near Chenjia Village more than a mile, there is a fork in the road, the tricycle has not yet passed, a silhouette flashed out violently, across the front of the car, I immediately pulled the brakes, shocked and sweating.
"Your grandmother's sick, right!" I would have been anxious, by this sudden accident and scared sweat, immediately cursed: "Leaping so fast, rushing to reincarnation ah!"
Dad also said: "How can you walk without looking at the point, if you hit you how to do?"
That is a forty-something years old man, medium height, plate inch head, rectangular face, no beard, a pair of eyes white more black less, heavy double eyelids, two eyebrows were born especially uncommon, spiral and long.
A yellow click cloth clothes, long-sleeved, wide-legged, large pockets, large lapel, stirrups a pair of lace-up leather shoes, the color of leather shoes is also yellow.
The man listened to me scold him, listened to Dad talk about him, and did not get annoyed, nor return the favor, just a slight smile.
"Letter ball!"
I cursed again, thinking that my mom's matter is important and I have to hurry to the Chen Family Village, not to pay attention to him is.
But I want to go but can't, because this person is impartial, just in front of the tricycle, not moving, he is close, two legs are almost about to clip the front wheel, I can't even move.
I couldn't help but be furious again, said: "You a letter ball will not get out of the way? Believe it or not I'll punch you to death!"
The man laughed again and said, "If you beat me to death, I'm afraid your mother won't live."
Hearing this, I was shocked, and dad looked at each other, dad could not understand what he meant, I had to stare at the man again: "You, what did you say? Say it again."
"Do you know why I suddenly jumped out to stop you?" That person said, "Look at the green and black colors running across your eyebrows, the heavenly court is obscure and uneven, and the red lines in your eyes are like a net, you must be masters of doom! And the person in this car is in deep crisis, and even more precarious!"
Dad and I looked at each other in disbelief, both frozen.
"Your mother is not an unusual drowning, it is a drowned ghost looking for a double, caught in an illusionary maze, and was pulled down into the water. Not only was she shocked and choked, but she was also victimized by the evil spirit." The man said eloquently, "If my expectation is not wrong, at this moment, there is still a black-painted scratch on her right ankle, this is the ghost's claw!"
"Huh? You, you ......"
My dad and I were stupefied with our jaws agape, we both froze, and for a moment we simply didn't know what to say.
This man was a living god!
What words have not asked, what condition have not seen, know exactly, than the year's divine calculator Mr. Chen Lao, is not much better!
