"Scare" is pronounced as "ha" in our dialect. It has many ways, such as scaring, speculating, scaring and so on. These are all witchcraft for children who are seriously frightened. Scare: Mom or grandma did it. In the morning, as soon as the rooster crows (that is, around four o'clock in the morning), there is a sieve on the top of the head, which contains a hundred grains of corn (for counting), standing on the threshold, facing the door, calling the child's name (if the child's name is XX Bao, shout: Bao, come back when you are scared), and throwing a corn into the hall every time you shout. Shout for 70 or 80 times, then step back from the threshold, shout every step, and retreat to the bedroom where the child sleeps. "Stir-fry": cut off the child's nails and hair, put them in a small iron spoon, dry the peach branches and fry them until they are cooked, and pour them at the crossroads. When I come back, I will shout the child's name while walking, just like scaring people, and I will go home after shouting. "Fear": Generally, the child falls into the water or falls, and he is very scared. Go to the child to pick up the small stones or clods at the scene of the accident, wrap them in the child's underwear, put them on the fishing fence and bring them back with your arms. It is also a call to go home and put the small stone wrapped in underwear under the pillow where the child slept for 100 days. "Stir-fry" and "near-scare" are carried out late at night, depending on the route and avoiding places with dogs. If you hear a dog barking or meet a pedestrian on your way back, your efforts will be in vain! So it must be done in the dead of night.
"Vertical chopsticks" is even more magical! Mainly sudden stomach pain or nausea and vomiting, adults and children can use it. I experienced it myself after hours, and the effect was good. I remember once playing in the wild with my friends, passing by a cemetery, just about to pee, so I sprinkled a bubble on the grave bag. When I came home for dinner at noon, I suddenly felt severe pain and nausea in my stomach. I couldn't eat a mouthful of rice in the bowl, which frightened my mother. My grandmother said that she must have gone to an unclean place. When she spoke, she was holding a bowl, three chopsticks, half a bowl of water, chopsticks in her left hand and chanting in her mouth. Her right hand kept watering the chopsticks, which soon stood up. In less than ten minutes, my stomach stopped hurting and I was able to eat with a big mouth. It was really immediate. Vertical chopsticks are still in circulation in rural areas.
"Seeing the epidemic" is also called "committing the epidemic", which is similar to the current pink eye. We have an old woman to watch. But her old man has been dead for more than ten years. This craft will be lost. At that time, no matter whose children's eyes hurt, they came to see her old man's house. Sick or not, you can tell at home. If you commit a crime, the old man can tell you where it is (usually littering or trees). There is a pile of sundries and wood there. Just like what her old man saw (in fact, she doesn't know, or even where the bearer's home is). Move whenever you can. You can't move in Dayang Hongshan. Sprinkle some corn porridge on it and it will be fine in a few days.
"collision" and "pinch disaster": if you lose something in a fight, ask Mr. Wang if you can find it; "Pinch disaster": headache and brain fever, long-term treatment, good morning, fever in the afternoon, I heard this is a disaster. In the disaster, that is, find those ghosts, find a gentleman to pinch them, buy hundreds of burnt paper, and deliver them at night, and the illness will be alleviated the next day. We have an uncle who is proficient in these two things. People in Shiliba Village always go to him for something, but he never takes other people's money.
