Hundred Ghosts

Just when Lin Zi was thinking about whether General He would really be suffocated after drinking so much water every day before going to the toilet, two people in the barracks disappeared.

Generally, there are two reasons for the disappearance of soldiers: one is deserters, who can’t bear hardships or are afraid of death and go back secretly. The military law is strict, and they must be stopped halfway for approval.It is written in the regulations that the punishment for deserters is very heavy. Even if they accept the punishment, other soldiers will look down on them after returning.

The second is that they were killed. This is more serious. The two big men have been trained.

Those two people have been missing for two days. If something happens, the bodies should be cold.

The team leader in charge of the two people sweated profusely and said that he was responsible for this matter, and that he must make clear arrangements for the two people. He Huai felt that something was wrong, so he decided to go and check it out himself.

Lin Zi led Xiaocai to follow him.

Those two people who were close to each other and those they met two days ago were all called in for questioning. The investigation shows that the two people are satisfied with their life in the army. In other situations, there is no sign of dissatisfaction with his surrounding partners or dissatisfaction with him as a general. He trains hard and is aggressive. He often asks the accountant to write letters to his family. Anyway, he is a good soldier.

That's weird, where would they go, why they don't come back now.

After the group of people dispersed, Lin Zi found their partner and got his birthday horoscope.

The two of them were not surprised, their bodies were cold.

Lin Zi told He Huai the fortune-telling, He Huai frowned, and said, "Foretelling a fortune-telling is a secret, it will damage your life, and it is not good for you, so don't use it in the future."

Lin Zi pursed her lips, thinking that she had studied so hard, how could she not use it.

At this time, the old man who cooked for them walked in tremblingly, and when he was about to kneel in front of He Huai, He Huai helped him up, "Uncle Li, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"General, the old man saw the two of them at noon the day before yesterday."

Lin Zi pricked up his ears to listen.

At noon the day before yesterday, after the generals and soldiers had finished eating, he prepared to drag the pots and chopsticks out to wash as usual, when he saw the two of them being led away by a child on the way.

That kid was a head shorter than Xiaocai, about five or six years old, he was too old to see his face clearly.

In the past, there were occasional outsiders who came by by mistake or the cattle and sheep of nearby residents, and the general asked them to send them back. He thought that the two of them were just sending the child back, but he never expected that they would never return.

Xiaocai grabbed Lin Zi's sleeve and said nonchalantly, "Both adults have accidents, isn't that kid..."

He Huai frowned, "No, there are only residents dozens of miles away. If there are a few adults, I still believe it. How could a five or six-year-old child come here?"

"Is that child a ghost?" Xiaocai shrank behind Lin Zi like a snail, "But Master said that yang overcomes yin, the sun is extremely yang, and the sun is so big at noon, wouldn't the ghost come out to kill himself?"

"You've learned well," Lin Zi pulled him out from behind, "I forgot to tell you that when the anode is strong, it shows yin; when the cathode is strong, it shows yang. During the Warring States period, a king killed his minister, and the minister Three years later, he came here by car at noon and killed his own monarch. This is why your old man told you not to go out to play at noon."

He Huai sneered, "No accident, that child is a bag."

"Who is Xi Nang?"

"It's a ghost. It looks like a child. It likes to stretch out its hands to lead the living, but people will die immediately when they arrive at the place where it lives. There is such a ghost here, and this general has not found it."

Lin Zi had read about the pouch in "The Picture of Bai Ze", but he did not expect to come across such a thing.

"How is the general preparing?"

"Leaving it here will continue to harm soldiers and nearby residents. Of course, we must get rid of it and then quickly."

The sac is not difficult to solve, and it will die if it is taken away from the original place.

Xi Nang usually appears between two mountains.

There are no big mountains near the military camp, but a lot of hills and valleys, so it is quite troublesome to find.

The pouch is hard to find, as long as you find it, He Huai has a hundred ways to kill it, so he sneaked out without telling the lieutenant general, he thought he was alone, but when he got out of the tent and looked back, Lin Zi was in front of him. standing behind it.

Persuasion to no avail, all right, take him.

A little Taoist who only knows how to draw fortune-telling to exorcise ghosts can compare to this old monster who wields knives and guns.After turning over four or five hills in a row, He Huai was fine, and Lin Zi was so tired that he lay paralyzed on the ground motionless.

But I haven't found the pouch yet, so I can't just rest on the spot.

He Huai crouched in front of him, "Can you still move?"

Lin Zi turned his head, only panting heavily.

According to He Huai's aesthetics, Lin Zi belongs to the kind of person he likes. He has a thin body, his slender wrists are as thick as his newly grown branches, and his skin is as white as a pagoda tree blossom. The circle is flushed, looking delicate and cute.

I reached out and touched his face, it was too hot, and I was afraid that something would happen if I let him go down.

So He Huai squatted down with his back to him.

"Come on, I'll carry you."

Lin Zi declined, panting, "No...you don't need it, General, I'll just rest for a while, just for a while."

"The military trains to run with heavy loads. This general is fine with carrying dozens of kilograms of sandbags. Come up, and we'll get back as soon as we're done."

Lin Zi lay on his back, wrapping his arms around his neck.

After turning over three or four more hills, He Huai's breath remained steady, but Lin Zi couldn't take it anymore.

"General, can we stop looking for it? Can I calculate the location of the two corpses...Wait, General, are those two of your soldiers?"

In the shadow of the hill stood two ghosts, dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant.

The soul generally doesn't stay away from the body for too long, and if the soul needs the body before it's collected, it should be nearby.

The two souls pointed to the hill ahead.

Coming.

There is a crack between the two mountains in front, next to the corpses of two soldiers, the crack can only allow one person to pass through, the sun can't shine, it is noon, the child dragged the two corpses into the crack.

The two of them hid behind a huge boulder nearby, Lin Zi squinted his eyes and looked at the sunlight, for he didn't have much time to wash his bags.

Sure enough, after a while, Xi Nang gave up transporting the corpse and hid in the crack.

Lin Zi struggled, "General, let me go."

He Huai held him down, "I'm here, of course I'm going, you stay here obediently, and I'll carry you away after I kill that brat."

He Huai walked out with loud footsteps. He turned his back to them and stretched out his hands to He Huai, showing a sweet smile, like a child who accidentally fell into a crack and saw someone who came to save him.

If he hadn't seen the corpse next to the crack, if he didn't know its nature, He Huai would have almost believed it.

"Come on, stretch out your hand a little bit, I'll pull... damn it!"

General He, who was eight feet long and weighed eighty kilograms, stepped on a crack and fell into it!

"General!"

The crack is his residence, and people will die immediately when they arrive at the place where it lives. General, he entered it by mistake...

Lin Zi got up and rushed forward. If he blocked the general's three souls and six souls immediately, as long as he found a way to stop the ghost, there was still a glimmer of hope for the general to be resurrected!

The place is dry and dusty, He Huai was almost choked to death, but he quickly grabbed the neck of the pouch and threw him out of the crack.

It happened to land in front of Lin Zi.

The moment the sunlight touched it, it ignited a flame, and when Lin Zi was stunned, it turned into soot.

"General!"

"Hey, it's okay, come here...cough, it's okay, don't worry, the pit is a bit deep, please pull me up quickly." He Huai spit ashes from his mouth, choking terribly.

The crack was smashed into a hole by him, Lin Zi ran to the hole, fumbled around his arm and pulled it out desperately.

He was not very strong, not only failed to pull He Huai out, but almost dragged him in himself. He Huai had no choice but to take advantage of Lin Zi's eyes being covered with dust, his feet turned into wood, and he pushed his body up. , all of a sudden suppressed Lin Zi.

The body suddenly bears an unbearable weight, Lin Zi screams under his pressure, pushes him away and sits up.

He Huai patted the ashes on himself, seeing that Lin Zi still couldn't open his eyes, he picked him up and retreated out of the dust pile.

Lin Zi was still rubbing his eyes, and the more he rubbed his eyes, the more painful they were, crying desperately. He Huai grabbed his dusty hands, "Your hands are too dirty, the more you rub them, the more painful they are, can you open your eyes? Let me show you." blow?"

"No need...General..." Lin Zi blinked hard for a long time to open his eyes.

"General, general, are you alright?"

"What can I do?" He Huai said.

He is not a human being, even if he spends the night at Xi Nang's residence, he will be fine.

"As long as the general is fine." Although Lin Zi was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions, "Since we have settled the bag, we can go."

"Stay here for a while, the corpses of the two soldiers are still here, we have to take him back." He Huai looked back, and the dust fell, and the corpses beside the crack were half buried in the pit.

He Huai sighed, "It's really cruel to expose the corpse to the sun for so long."

"Actually, it may be that the pouch didn't have time to drag it home..."

"listen to me!"

"……it is good."

After He Huai dug up the two corpses, how to get them back became a problem again. He just carried the corpses back under the sun... a bit annoying.

He looked at Lin Zi, "Will you drive away corpses?"

"Yes, but the guy didn't bring it." He Huai walked too hastily, and he didn't take anything.

Lin Zi looked at the terrain, and found that the northeast side is not bad, it is a place to bury corpses, he pointed to it, "Bringing it back like this is to find a place for burial nearby, why not bury it on the spot, there are immortal spirits above, soldiers and horses below, move forward Yang, then to Yin, is a good place, they are too young to be filial and have no children, so it is better to benefit their relatives and descendants after death."

"Okay." He Huai thought for a while and agreed.

Holding the sun against the corpse was too cruel, and He Huai didn't want to carry two corpses back.

The author has something to say: Regarding Xi Nang (the first sound of xi), I saw two versions of the record, one is "Bai Ze Tu" "Between two mountains, the spirit looks like a child, and when it sees people, it stretches out its hand and thinks about it." Pull people, its name is Xi Nang. If you pull it away from its original place, it will die."

Another way of saying it is to pull people into its home, and people will die as soon as they pass by...

Then I use both languages.

Also, it should belong to the beast, but for some reason, it is also attributed to ghosts in the information I found.
