Spiritual History of Manchuria

Chapter 15 Lost Soul

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "It's not easy to do anything these days. Hey, if you make two bowls of noodles this day, it's better to give you free."

"Then won't you lose?" Qin Zhong asked.

The boss's expression seemed to slow down and said with a wry smile, "We haven't had a break this year. I heard that there is a big play in Guangji in the third year of junior high school. That's all. I'm off these days, so I just go and have a good time."

"Looking at your age, why don't you celebrate the New Year with your family?" Qin Zhong asked curiously.

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly again: "Oh, when I broke into Kanto, my wife was separated from me, just in time for the devil's cleaning, that is, when the good people's certificate was distributed, it has been more than ten years, and my wife has disappeared, and now only me and my stupid son are left."

"What about your son?"

"Hey, I don't know what happened to my son's first two days. He seemed to be possessed. He went to see a shadow play all day. Every time he came back from watching it, he fell asleep. After getting up, he read a girl's name all day long, called Hu Guihua. Really, we don't know what kind of woman she is."

Listening to the old man's complaints about himself, I'm afraid it was the first time the shopkeeper said such a thing to an outsider, but Qin Zhong had decided to eat this free dinner. At worst, he would help him find out his son's mental disorder, which was also that the meal was not in vain.

Guo Dafu grinned and laughed when he heard this: "Then isn't your son a nymphomaniac? I'm afraid it's a spring heart!"

"You know, a serious girl can't be like what you said, just like me, when can I be fascinated like this?" Mengna didn't know whether she was self-amazed or could say this for other reasons.

However, Qin Zhong still agreed with Mengna's words and said, "Mona, I have never agreed with you, but I agree with what I said to you this time. It's really hard for you, a tom boy to be loved by other men."

When Mona heard this, her nose and mouth were twisted together, so that she didn't say a word.

Qin Zhong asked calmly, "Shopkeeper, whose girl does your boy seem to like? It seems that he has to get rid of it by himself!"

"Hey, it's okay if he can really get rid of it. I always feel that he seems to have been enchanted, and I also found someone to see it. He said that he has some evil disease, but this person can't be cured. If he wants to cure him, he has to go to Wudang Mountain, Wutai Mountain and other places. Now there is an anti-Japanese craze across the country. It's not as good as here anywhere, at least it's more comfortable.

Qin Zhong nodded bitterly and thought to himself that it was no wonder that the northeast of China has never set off the Anti-Japanese War**. It is because such people, such people, but people have said that this is OK. If he doesn't say anything, it really won't work. He thought about it and proposed, "Well, let's do it. Why don't you ask the prince to come out and meet me? I'll see if I can help find the reason.

When the shopkeeper heard Qin Zhong's words, his eyes were bright, and he stood up with a surprised and excited expression: "Are you true?"

"Of course it's true. What I said is not fake. Please come out!"

When the shopkeeper heard that Qin Zhong's tone was so firm, he immediately got up and held Qin Zhong's hand tightly and said, "Sir, if you can really cure my son, I will definitely thank you."

"No, I'm going to stay here for a few days, as long as you care about my food and accommodation." Qin Zhong didn't know if such a request was too much, but it was worth it if he really cured his son.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he promised and immediately asked the clerk to find his son.

But not long after, the man ran back nervously and came to the shopkeeper and said nervously, "The shopkeeper, young master!"

Huh? What's wrong with him?" The shopkeeper asked.

The man took a breath and said, "The shopkeeper, I just opened his room and found that the young master was gone. I don't know what's wrong with the rope tied to him. All of them were broken."

"What?" The shopkeeper was immediately dumbfounded, sat on the chair and cried, "My son, how can you let your father give up? Did your father owe you a debt in his previous life?"

When Qin Zhong heard this, he stood up and said, "Shopkeeper, don't worry. Take me to see the prince's room. You will know it at first sight."

"Real?"

"Real, let's go!"

The clerk immediately accompanied the shopkeeper and led Qin Zhong to the backyard and entered the backyard. The door of the west wing was wide open, and the fire kang in the room was empty. After Qin Zhong entered the room, he only saw a few broken hemp ropes at the foot of the bed, and in the corner of the room, there was a messy pile of old Books.

Guo Dafu gently poked him in the waist behind Qin Zhong: " boss, look at these books, at least at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Why don't we take some?"

"What nonsense? Take a good look at what's in this room. Qin Zhong interrupted Guo Dafu's words.

Guo Dafu scratched his head and turned around the room. Qin Zhong went out of the room and circled around the whole room. The shopkeeper was confused. He didn't know what Qin Zhong was doing, but he couldn't ask questions. After all, he didn't know anything and didn't know anything. If he asked too much, I'm afraid Qin Zhong should be picky.

After several circles, Qin Zhong suddenly heard Guo Dafu in the room say to himself, "What is this?" It seems that I have seen it somewhere. Why can't I remember it?"

"Dafu, what did you see?" Qin Zhong asked outside the window.

Guo Dafu muttered, "I don't know, boss. Otherwise, if you come in and have a look, I can't remember."

Qin Zhong hurried into the room. When he saw what Guo Dafu said for the first time, his forehead oozed sporadic sweat, and his heart thumped: "Can that guy still follow here? Damn, even if I Qin Zhong can't get rid of this bastard, I said that it would be strange if Japan could get rid of this matter.

"What is this, boss?"

"Footprints, triangular footprints." He held his chin, turned his head and said to the shopkeeper, "Your son is probably confused by the fox. Do you know if there is anything in the city that can be counted recently, or any foreign organization?"

"This!" The shopkeeper paused for a long time: "I know that the shadow play came from somewhere in the south. I heard that these people walked all the way, acted all the way, and the money they earned was used to eat and drink, but I didn't hear anything evil."

"You should know that your son is the magic barrier on the scene of the shadow play. In your words, it is called Lost Soul."

This word shocked the shopkeeper. Generally speaking, it is easy for a child to lose his soul. The old man hung it at the door with a spoon and said a few words to call the soul back, but he is an adult. This trick is no longer useful. For a moment, the anxious shopkeeper jumped in place: "This gentleman, please point out. Minglu, help me figure out a way. Anyway, find my son's whereabouts first.

"This is easy to do. If you go to the shadow play now, he must be there, but it will not cure the root causes. As long as there is a play tomorrow, he will definitely return to the scene." Qin Zhong didn't understand these things, but since he read the books left by his grandfather, he knew a lot about these folk tricks, so as soon as he talked about the relevant matters, he was confused.

The shopkeeper seemed to understand something now: "I understand. Well, sir, please come with us. Anyway, please help me find a way to save my son. I don't want him to be like this before he becomes a family, which will be laughed at."

Qin Zhong nodded and shouted at Guo Dafu, trying to pull Mona, but Mona didn't move.

"Don't go? If you don't go, you can help with the door here!" Qin Zhong said something.

The shopkeeper came to Mona and advised him, "Girl, you see, this gentleman still cares about you. The young couple quarreled. Don't worry about it so much. Go ahead. Maybe he can help you come up with some ideas."
