Patriarch enjoys meal

Zhou already remembered the purpose here, "Tell me about the situation in detail."

Tao Jiang: "It's a neighbor in my community, their child is only four months old..."

Everyone in the Liu family is in a hurry to get angry recently. The reason is that their new baby this year has been crying endlessly for the past few nights. After Tiansleep, nothing happened, and it has lasted for almost a week. If this continues, let alone the little baby's body can't stand it, even the adults in the family can't stand it anymore.

Sent to the hospital, the doctor couldn't check anything, only said that he might have been frightened, and now he was helpless.

Mrs. Liu looked at her little granddaughter's thin face, and she was very anxious. Seeing that the two well-known pediatric hospitals in the city did not find anything wrong, she had some thoughts in her heart.

She knew that her son and daughter-in-law did not believe in ghosts and gods, nor did they trust folk remedies, and she did not dare to trouble her own granddaughter, so she could only go to the temple to ask for some peace talismans, thinking that her granddaughter might be frightened and lost her mind, so she tried it. All kinds of soul-calling methods are useless.

Mrs. Liu was going to ask her acquaintances to invite the sorceress to take a look. After Tao Jiang found out about this, she took the initiative to introduce a master.She thought that the master must be better than the sorceress, and Tao Jiang has been prudent in doing things since she was a child, so she can't go wrong.

"This is...Master?" Mrs. Liu looked suspiciously at the boy in front of her who was wearing a white sweater and jeans and carrying a black backpack, with fluffy black hair and a slight smile with dimples on his lips.

Mrs. Liu is over 70 this year, but her son and daughter-in-law are filial and happy, and her family is happy and harmonious. She has a straightforward personality and a good attitude.

The first time Zhou Jiran saw Mrs. Liu, he knew that her husband died early, but now the family is harmonious and filial, and she enjoys the good looks of her old age without pain or disaster.

"Old lady, my parents and seniors are in this business, and I have learned some things, among other things, if it is a loss of soul disease, I will definitely look after your granddaughter." Zhou already gave a guarantee letter to the suspicious old lady.

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Liu was still not relieved, and said vigilantly: "Let's say it first, but you are not allowed to prescribe amulet water to my granddaughter. I will not believe this kind of feudal superstition!"

Zhou Jiran raised a smile on his face, and said obediently: "Don't worry."

Seeing Zhou Jiran's cute and obedient appearance, and being introduced by Tao Jiang again, Mrs. Liu's tense heart was relieved, and she took them home.

Wang Li dressed her daughter and was about to go out when she saw her mother-in-law who had been running to the temple more and more these days came in, "Mom, you just came back, today I am going to take Guoguo to see the Chinese medicine recommended by my friend .”

After she finished speaking, she realized that there were two young people coming in behind, and she also knew one of them. Tao Jiang was the male god that the little girls in the community talked about every day. It was the first time she had that appearance. When I saw it at my mother-in-law's house, I was also taken aback. I heard from his husband that her mother-in-law felt sorry for him. He was a young man and no one took care of him. He often sent some snacks made by himself, but he came back less often after he went to college. .The other one looked a little younger than Tao Jiang, so he should be his classmate.

"Hey, wait a minute, let this...little classmate show Guoguo." Mrs. Liu stopped Wang Li.

The little classmate Zhou already smiled and didn't mind at all: "Just call me Xiao Zhou."

Wang Li looked at Zhou Weiran carefully with some doubts. She knew that her mother-in-law, like many old people, was in awe of gods and ghosts, but at the same time, her mother-in-law was an open-minded and measured old lady. Wuhe and a group of old ladies went to the temple on time to worship the Buddha and eat some vegetarian food. There was a Guanyin at home, and they usually offered apples or something. The peace of mind of the old lady did not affect them, so she and her husband never said anything.It seems that Guoguo really scared her mother-in-law this time, but why did the person she invited back look neither a monk nor a Taoist priest...

Wang Li had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but there was a kind smile on his face, it was nothing to look at, "Then trouble Xiao Zhou."

"No trouble." Zhou already went a step further to look at the baby who was sleeping soundly in the stroller. This was a very cute little baby with a full forehead, light-colored but soft and stylish eyebrows, and chubby flesh. Her little face was pink and tender, and she hummed softly from time to time when she fell asleep.

Zhou Jiran felt a little weak when he saw such a cute child, and suddenly he found a small silver bracelet with auspicious cloud and lotus pattern on the baby's wrist, "Have you asked an expert to bless this bracelet?"

"Yes... it was consecrated in Jialan Temple." Mrs. Liu was a little surprised. She asked the master master to make this bracelet and sent it to the Jialan Temple where she often goes. She asked a master in the temple to consecrate it before wearing it to her granddaughter. Yes, she didn't even tell her son and daughter-in-law about this matter, but now that Zhou Jiran pointed it out, she couldn't help but trust Zhou more in her heart.

"That's no wonder," Zhou said, looking at the dim color of the bracelet, "If it weren't for the blessing of the master, this bracelet wouldn't last so long."

Mrs. Liu felt a little uneasy, and asked repeatedly: "What do you mean?"

Wang Li touched the silver bracelet on her daughter's hand and found that it looked a little older than before, which seemed to be a sudden change in the past few days.

"It's not sure yet, take me to see the baby's room."

"Guoguo is still young and sleeps with her parents." Mrs. Liu led the way.

As soon as I entered the bedroom, I saw a small crib next to the double bed with railings around it. The room was not very big, but it was tidy and well-ventilated and brightly lit.

A needle was nailed to the wall next to the head of the crib, and under the red thread on the needle was tied a piece of incense that extinguished halfway through burning.

Following Zhou Weiran's gaze, Wang Li found this on the bedside, "Mom, you made this? What is this?" Only the old lady at home can make these.

"This is a simple way to cure children's night crying. You young people don't understand it. Didn't the next door Zhuang Zhuang do the same thing two years ago? Her grandma cured it with this method." Old lady Liu was worried: "I tried a lot It’s called soul method, why is it of no use to us Guoguo?”

So it's superstition, of course it's useless, Wang Li thought to himself.But thinking of the old lady secretly trying those useless folk remedies and earth remedies one by one for her granddaughter and taking care of their young people, she was also very moved, and hurried forward to comfort her softly.

"It's natural that it's useless." Zhou Jiran picked up the incense ash on the ground, "Guoguo's constant crying at night is not because she lost her soul, but because she saw something bad and warned you."

Wang Li didn't believe what he said, and looked at the time, a little worried that he wouldn't be able to make an appointment with the doctor.

Mrs. Liu was a little skeptical in her heart, saying that children's eyes are clean and can see dirty things, what if Guoguo was really scared because he saw something he shouldn't see.

Tao Jiang, who had been silently following beside him all this time, said, "Can it be solved?"

Zhou already looked back at him, and said conservatively: "It should be possible."

Knowing that the child's mother didn't trust her, they went back to the living room, "Please give me a bowl of water."

Wang Li thought that he was thirsty, and the visitor was a guest. It was really impolite that he didn't even bring out a glass of water when he came to the door for so long, so he hurriedly went to the water dispenser to get two glasses of water.

Zhou already took the cup, but didn't drink it. He took out a folded talisman paper from his pocket, and tapped the cup three times in a murmur. I don't know if it was an illusion, but after his movements, he felt that the water in the cup became clearer. It's down.

Looking at the vigilant eyes of Mrs. Liu, Zhou Jiran smiled: "Don't worry, this is not for people to drink."

Old lady Liu was relieved, she also read the news, many ignorant old ladies gave their grandchildren drinking talisman water to cure diseases because of superstition, and ended up harming their own children.She's not like those superstitious old ladies.

What?Is it also superstitious to pray to gods and worship Buddha and go to temples to offer incense?No, how can this be a superstition?This is faith!

Zhou already dipped a little water and gently wiped Guoguo's bracelet-wearing wrist. A few seconds later, a bruise slowly appeared on the place where the water was wiped, which looked like a hand was holding Guoguo's wrist hard. , the child's wrist was thin and weak, and the bruised finger marks looked particularly ferocious.And the originally dull silver bracelet in her hand became even more dilapidated after being stained with water. The lotus pattern on it was so pale that it was almost invisible, as if it would break at any time.

Seeing the moment when the bruise appeared, Wang Li collapsed and covered her mouth, she was afraid that she would scream.As a mother, seeing her child being hurt is heartbreaking, and this unreasonable scene also shakes the scientific view she has believed in for many years.

Guoguo didn't feel her mother's heartache at all, and still slept soundly.

"This is?!"

"Ghost handprints." Zhou already explained to them: "The traces formed by the yin energy left by evil spirits after contact with people will become deeper and deeper day by day. Ordinary people can't see them, and they will only feel body aches and cold air entering the body. "

Seeing that Wang Li and Mrs. Liu were so frightened that they almost burst into tears, Zhou Jiran comforted him, "This is just a mark left by a ghost, and it will not be life-threatening for the time being."

When they heard that the ghost had left a mark on Guoguo, the two became even more anxious, for fear that Guoguo would be arrested by the ghost like this: "Then what should we do? Can this disappear?"

"It can be eliminated, but it doesn't mean much. Judging by the yin energy surrounding the ghost's handprint, he should come to check it every day. If it wasn't for this enlightened silver bracelet to resist it for a few days, I'm afraid... .” The words were not finished, but they all understood what Zhou Weiran meant.

Thinking of an evil spirit coming to their house every day, waiting to take his life, Wang Li felt anxious and frightened. Is there any way to save our family?"

"What kind of master am I? It's really embarrassing me. You should call me Xiao Zhou." As soon as the word master came out, Zhou already felt inexplicably ashamed.

"Treat the symptoms and root cause, cut the weeds and get rid of the roots." Zhou Jiran strictly followed his grandfather's teaching to deal with evil spirits as ruthlessly as autumn wind sweeps fallen leaves.

However, attitudes are attitudes. He is now a theoretical player with no theoretical knowledge and no practical experience. The first time he independently dealt with this kind of incident was Li Wu's kind of useless ghost who has no pursuit and no aggressiveness.It will probably do nothing to help him gain experience.

But fortunately, he brought a lot of talismans from his grandfather as insurance.

Judging by the dilapidated condition of the silver bracelet, this evil spirit is not powerful enough, he can try to drive it away by himself.

Then he took out the magic weapon his grandfather had prepared for him from his backpack—a rolling pin.
