What does this note mean?
Chengyuan? "
Yu Dazhu asked, looking puzzled.
"I don't quite understand it either."
It says "Third Aunt," "Witch Doctor," and "Dog Blood" on it, with the last two characters being "Cheng Yuan."
This second uncle is so secretive, can't he just write his meaning down clearly and plainly?
Yu Pingan stared at the words on the note, frowned, and still didn't understand.
"My second uncle wrote it this way because he was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to write it too clearly."
Brother, look, the last two characters are my name, and the first two characters are my aunt's name.
In the middle is a sorceress, it's so cheesy.
It must be that my third aunt went to consult a shaman, because they probably thought I was possessed.
Dog blood is used to ward off evil spirits.
Yu Chengyuan explained that he had heard about this kind of thing when he was a child.
Such things were quite common in the old days!
In reality, these are all just superstitious and ignorant ideas.
"Chengyuan, what do you mean?"
Your third aunt and the others all think you're possessed by an evil spirit.
Therefore, you need to ask a shaman to remove the evil spirits from your body.
And they want to pour dog blood all over you?
Isn't this a bit too outrageous?
What were they thinking?
How could a perfectly healthy person be possessed by an evil spirit?
Yu Pingan said angrily.
"Brother, don't get agitated."
This kind of thing is not uncommon in rural areas.
Many people believe this.
Grandma Wang and Li Hehua will definitely believe it too.
Perhaps they think I'm possessed, which is why my personality changed so drastically!
Yu Chengyuan advised his elder brother not to be angry.
"Chengyuan, you're right. I've heard other workers at the coal mine talk about this kind of thing, and it's quite bizarre."
That's probably what my third uncle and the others were thinking.
But you're talking about this possession.
Is it true or false?
Yu Pingan felt that his younger brother had indeed changed a lot, but he had become better and stronger, which was not a bad thing!
Yu Chengyuan shook his head and continued, "I heard from the older generation that if someone is possessed by an evil spirit or a demon, dog blood can be used to exorcise it."
But I don't know if this is true or false.
But I think the idea of being possessed by evil spirits is completely fictitious, something people have imagined.
I simply won't believe such a thing.
Brother, don't believe in this kind of thing either.
He advised his elder brother not to believe in evil spirits, but he himself was reborn. How can that be explained?
"Okay, I understand, big brother."
Yu Pingan nodded.
He doesn't care about being possessed or anything like that. As long as his younger brother is good, he won't be afraid even if his brother is a ghost.
Sometimes people are scarier than ghosts!
"Chengyuan, then why do they want to find dog blood?"
Is it useful?
My third brother and his wife are really something else. They've already separated the family, and they still want to cause trouble.
That's absolutely outrageous!
Yu Dazhu was also furious, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Dad, I don't think dog blood is any use!"
It's just making people dirty and disgusting!
That's probably the method they wanted to use.
Remove the evil spirits from me!
That would make me as weak and easily bullied as before.
If dog blood were effective, then Sun Wukong in Journey to the West wouldn't need to learn magic; he could simply wipe out all the demons and monsters with a basin of dog blood.
No need for the eighty-one tribulations; it can be done in a day.
"Chengyuan, didn't your second uncle just say that your grandmother is possessed by an evil spirit?"
Could it be that the melodramatic scenes are meant to be used to heal you?
"It's not for you. Your second uncle misunderstood and thought the dog blood was meant to be used against you."
Yu Dazhu remembered what Yu Erzhu had said.
"Father, Old Lady Wang is not possessed by evil spirits. She was just frightened for a moment and will recover soon."
It's obvious that my third uncle and aunt were using the exorcism of Old Lady Wang as a pretext to have the sorceress deal with me.
They didn't dare confront him directly, so they could only use the excuse of treating the old woman's illness to find an opportunity to punish him.
"Chengyuan, your grandma and the others have gone too far! I'm going to confront them right now!"
Upon hearing his youngest son's words, Yu Dazhu could no longer sit still.
"Dad, don't be angry, and there's no need to reason with them, it's useless."
Without evidence, arguing is pointless.
We just need to wait and cooperate with them.
They'll definitely come knocking on our door soon.
If I don't go out, how will they get a shaman to exorcise the evil spirits from me?
Yu Chengyuan stopped his father and told him not to act impulsively.
"Chengyuan, look! Third Aunt has brought a woman in."
Yu Pingan pointed out the window.
Yu Chengyuan leaned closer to look outside, and sure enough, it was true!
Li Hehua was accompanied by a woman in her forties, who was wearing a long black gown, carrying a white cloth bag on her back, and wearing a round pendant with a peach wood Bagua symbol hanging on her chest.
"This person must be the sorceress invited by the great master."
"Father, you and my elder brother stay inside. I'll go check on things."
Yu Chengyuan watched as Li Hehua led the sorceress into Old Lady Wang's room.
The one who opened the door was Yu Sanzhu.
Grandma Wang is definitely inside the house, no doubt about it.
"good!"
"Chengyuan, don't get caught!"
Yu Chengyuan nodded, turned around and left the room.
Following the wall, Yu Chengyuan crouched down and reached the window of Old Lady Wang.
He licked his fingers and then cut a hole in the paper window.
Looking inside, they saw that Old Mrs. Wang was indeed inside, sitting on the edge of the bed.
