Chapter 3743: : Shout the soul

When Xiao Jiansheng took them upstairs, Ye Chen had already seen four adults and a child.
Two of them seem to be about the same age as Xiao Jiansheng and his wife. The other two young couples should be only in their twenties, and then a child of six or seven.
It is common for people in her hometown to get married early, so it's not like Xiao Yuqing is now over thirty and has no children.
"Ye Chen, this is Old Wu."
"Hello." Ye Chen greeted them.
Ye Chen is very well-known in the Chinese medical field, and, because of Xiao Jiansheng and his wife, they know this young man better.
However, this is the first time I have seen this young man in person.
Ye Chen walked over and saw that the little boy had no master, his eyes lacked any expression.
"When did the child be like this?"
"On the night of the third day of the Lunar New Year, I watched the fireworks in the square, and then I came back and it was like that." said the young woman.
watch fireworks?
Nowadays, large and small cities across the country are forbidden to set off fireworks, and they can only be set off in some permitted places.
Like rural areas, some temples and temples, or ancestral temples.
The other is that the government plans to place fireworks uniformly.
Near here, the place where fireworks is allowed is in that square. Because it is the Chinese New Year, many people want to watch the fireworks, so the young couple took their son to watch them.
Unexpectedly, when I came back after watching the fireworks, I found that the child was not right.
"Have someone shout the soul?"
Ye Chen asked.
Like this kind of lost soul, under normal circumstances, in the countryside, the villagers will definitely invite some gods and Taoists to call the soul.
Some worked, some did not work.
"On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, we hired a very powerful goddess to call her soul, but it was of no use. I took it to the County People’s Hospital. The doctor said that the child was nothing but was scared by the sound of fireworks and fireworks. That's it." Still the young woman said.
Calling the soul is an old ritual called soul.
The child became ill due to fright. In the era of underdeveloped science and medicine, he thought that he "lost his soul", so he shouted the soul to the child.
The method takes the child to the bed, lights an incense, and inserts it in front of the bed, or on the broomstick, and prays for the mother-in-law or the lady-in-law to call back the lost soul.
The person who "calls the soul" holds a bowl in one hand, the mouth of the bowl is covered with fire tail paper, and the rice spoon in the other hand, knocks on the door with the rice spoon, screams the child’s name, and then scoops some cold water with the rice spoon. Pour on a bowl covered with paper.
Just like that, knock, scream, pour water, until you see a shiny circle reflected in the water in the bowl, even if you "call the soul" succeed.
Calling the soul is popular all over the country, and the methods vary from place to place. In the Pudong area of ​​Shanghai, if a child is frightened during the day and crying at night when he sleeps, he thinks that the child’s soul has been frightened away. Therefore, a ceremony of standing chopsticks to call the soul (also known as the dipping bowl in Jiangsu) is held by an elderly woman ( The child's grandmother or mother) offers incense paper to the kitchen god, kowtows and prays, and ask the kitchen to help him.
After a while, take one bowl and place it on the stove, put half a bowl of water in it, and then take 3 chopsticks together, put them in the bowl and stand upright, while calling the child’s soul to come back, while grabbing water from the bowl Pouring chopsticks from top to bottom until the chopsticks stand still in the bowl, thinking that the child’s soul has been recalled, that is, holding the bowl and walking to the bed of the child, turning on the head three times, take out the chopsticks and place them on the child’s pillow beside.
The folks think that a child can sleep peacefully.
The modern custom in Dongguan, Guangdong, was to burn a few sticks of incense and paper under the eaves, bedside or scared places, swing the children’s clothes back and forth over the flames, hold kitchen knives or scissors, beat them on the ground, and then throw rice grains on Quartet shouted: "Eastern rice, western rice, southern rice, northern rice, four major five-cube rice. A certain month and certain day (child name) came home from childhood! Please come to Jiu Tian Xuan Nu, pick up Po Tonglang, come back to XX!" Wait.
In the Zhujiajiao area of ​​Shanghai, the child’s age and birth (eight characters) are written on red paper, placed on the stove, and a bowl of water is placed on the paper.
Then he took a bucket, covered his baggage, set fire to search for the spider at the feet of the club, and shouted "A certain official (the boss is the high official, the second is the second official) return!"
Until you find two or three spiders, put them in the bucket, hold them to the pillow of the child, shout while walking, put down the mosquito net and finish.
After a few minutes, the account can be opened.
In Northeast, North China, Nanjing and other places, his family members identified the places where he was shocked and lost.
One is calling the child, the other is "Come back!"
One shout and one shout, walk there.
The wearer opened the clothes and shoes, symbolically closed them one by one, then tucked them under the armpits, shouting the name of the child, and the other answered with "Back!" that the soul has been tied.
If the soul echoes again along the way, it is considered that the soul has recovered.
These types are inherited from ancient times.
Ye Chen knows things like shouting the soul.
In fact, the shouting souls are different everywhere, and Ye Chen prefers the one mentioned later.
Besides, in fact, it was at the crossroads near the place where the child lost his soul, burning the joss paper money there, and then shouting the soul there in the middle of the night.
Under normal circumstances, it can still be rescued.
However, the child's loss of soul is not as serious as that of Li Dafu.
Ye Chen can still cure him.
"How does the goddess call him soul?"
"Just come to my house and keep doing things."
Said the little boy's grandma.
This goddess was invited by someone she heard.
"Actually, shouting the soul has to go outside and shouting at home is useless."
Ye Chen said.
It's useless to shout at home?
"Where can I shout?"
The little boy's grandma asked hurriedly.
"Listen to me now, go to the nearby crossroads, burn incense paper money there, and then call the little boy's nickname, almost a dozen times. Now I am here to give him acupuncture treatment, and tomorrow, he will be fine. Up."
Near the intersection?
There are really crossroads near here, and there are usually more vehicles during the day, but there are no more cars at night.
Now that the little boy's grandparents are worried about his grandson's situation, the second elder hurriedly followed Ye Chen's instructions.
Ye Chen took the silver needle he brought with him and prepared to take it out.
When I checked the little boy, there was indeed something wrong with his three souls and seven souls.
After examining him, Ye Chen asked the little boy's mother to undress his son and then give him acupuncture treatment.
Ye Chen took out his cloth bag, and the silver-white box in it contained his silver needles and gold needles.
Now Ye Chen is going to give him acupuncture treatment with the Guimen 13 Needle Method.
After Ye Chen took out the silver needles, first used the disinfectant alcohol that Xiao Yuqing brought, and after disinfection, he performed acupuncture on the little boy's thirteen points.
What is used now is the ordinary 13-stitch method of ghosts.
