After repeating this three times, the bamboo tube slowly spun in the water, as if there was an external force stirring the well water. In fact, the well water did not move.
After the bamboo tube slowly spun a few times, it was filled with water and gradually sank into the water.
When the bamboo tube sank to a certain extent, the rope tied to it felt like it was being pulled. My great-great-grandfather quickly pulled the rope up. After a few times, he pulled the bamboo tube out of the well. He looked into the bamboo tube and saw that the willow branch was still in the bamboo tube. He hurriedly used a wooden stopper to plug the mouth of the bamboo tube tightly. He also asked someone to bring over the chicken blood and white cloth. He used the white cloth to dip the chicken blood, wrapped the stopper in circles, and finally tied it up with a red-headed rope.
At this point, Xiao Lan's soul was finally contained.
Then, my great-great-grandfather began to collect Zhang Jiang's soul, just like when he collected Xiaolan's soul. He placed a willow branch in the bamboo tube and shouted.
"However, this time, my great-great-grandfather shouted more than ten times, but the bamboo tube did not spin or sink. This means that Zhang Jiang's soul did not enter the bamboo tube, nor did it attach itself to the willow branch. This also means that Zhang Jiang's ghost is much more cunning than Xiaolan's ghost. This made my great-great-grandfather very confused. Zhang Jiang is a new ghost, so he shouldn't be so scheming.
He shouted a few more times, but there was still no movement from the bamboo tube. At this time, half of noon has passed. Noon is the best time to go into the well to retrieve the corpse. It is also the time of the day when Yang qi is the strongest. If we go into the well after noon, unexpected variables may appear. At that time, my great-great-grandfather can't guarantee anything.
My great-great-grandfather had no choice but to pull the bamboo tube out of the well and signal the middle-aged man next to him to go down immediately.
At this moment, the middle-aged man had muggrass in his braids, a red cloth tied around his waist, and a long and strong straw rope. The dozen or so servants were pulling the straw rope, all ready to attack.
When the middle-aged man saw that my great-great-grandfather was signaling him to go down the well, he didn't hesitate. He called out to the dozen or so servants who were pulling the straw rope and pressed the well with both hands to go down. At this moment, my great-great-grandfather took out a peachwood wedge from his pocket and quietly stuffed it into his hand. He also whispered to him that if he saw anything in the water or felt that something was abnormal, he should use the peachwood wedge to poke it directly.
All of this was seen by the old man beside him, who was also the father of the middle-aged man. The old man revealed a suspicious look. After the middle-aged man went down the well, he asked my great-great-grandfather why there were so many procedures to retrieve a corpse.
My great-great-grandfather was honest and told the old man the truth. When the old man heard this, his expression immediately changed. He wanted to pull his son out of the well with a straw rope. My great-great-grandfather hurriedly stopped him and comforted him, saying that nothing would happen. He had already made foolproof preparations, and nothing would happen.
The old man was skeptical and asked my great-great-grandfather what he did for a living. When my great-great-grandfather told me his name and Master Wang Shoudao's, the old man's expression changed again. He said that Wang Shoudao had once saved the lives of his entire family.
As mentioned earlier, the old man used to fish for a living in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Occasionally, he would also fish for corpses. Once, the three of them fished out a naked female corpse and put it in the cabin. They didn't pay much attention to it. However, at night, the female corpse came back to life for some reason. The one in charge of looking at the corpse in the cabin was the old man's grandson. At that time, the old man and his son had already gone ashore to rest.
After the female corpse came back to life, she seduced the old man's grandson. The old man's grandson was afraid at first, but for some reason, he did it with the female corpse as if he was possessed by a ghost. On the second day, the female corpse was still lying in the cabin, a dead body. However, the old man's grandson was different. He lay beside the female corpse, his body cold and unconscious.
