Chapter 100 The Wig
It was used by malformed baby hairs.
Thought the baby was innocent at that time, it was actually in the most primitive state for a human being.
Humans could predict, hear and see evil things, and this was absolutely true for babies as well.
Sometimes, when a baby cried suddenly, it was because it saw something evil or bad. However, as infants grew up, they gradually lost this ability until the age of five or six years.
The malformed babies harbored strong resentment. This was because they could read the sad moods in their parents or relatives when they were born.
The malformed hairs from a malformed baby also contained some of that resentment, and it was this kind of material, called lanugos, that was used for the Yin Shave.
So, how was it made? Just fill a big tub with resin oil, then put the lanugos of the malformed baby into it and let it grow.
During this time, you needed to throw in a few live animals, such as frogs, fish, or mice.
Those lanugos would stretch toward the animals and kill them by constriction.
When those lanugos had eaten ten of those live animals… they became ghost lanugos.
I asked Uncle Ma: “What are those lanugos used for?”
“How do they take effect?” Uncle Ma said: “Once the ghost lanugos have connected with your hair, they will hide in your hair by themselves.”
Four or five hours after the haircut, those lanugos would enter your body from the acupoint behind your earlobe.
“Then?” I asked him.
He said: “Once they enter, you will have to turn to Ma Xiaoguo for haircuts… Those lanugos will not be happy if you go to other barbers. They might even make you lose your temper and fight with other barbers, and you’ll eventually have to turn to Ma Xiaoguo.”
Then Uncle Ma said: “This is why the first time is free in Ma Xiaoguo’s shop.”
“Wow, that’s amazing.” Uncle Ma’s Yin Shave was not so simple.
Feng Chunsheng asked: “Uncle Ma… I have one question… Are those lanugos harmful to human beings?”
“This is what I’m worried about.” Uncle Ma said: “When those lanugos enter the body, they will eat your vital essence and your life will be reduced. It is slow, but it can really hurt you as time goes by. It’s a truly wicked thing to do.”
When I heard this, I got worried. Why did he only think of earning money... ?
Uncle Ma said: “Well, I am going to bring a guy here tomorrow. He is very strong, and he will knock Ma Xiaoguo unconscious; then you can give him the Yin and Yang tattoo.”
“That’s really violent!” I was surprised to hear this.
Uncle Ma frowned and said: “This is the only way to save Ma Xiaoguo. He will calm down when the Yin and Yang tattoo is finished. Then, he will be clear-headed and get rid of all those lanugos.”
“They can be pulled out?” I asked him.
Uncle Ma said: “If it can get in it can also be pulled out. I will have already killed him if he had done so many murderous things.”
“All right, let’s make a deal.” I agreed with him. We had to be violent since he would never listen to us... We could beat him and gave him the tattoo while he was unconscious.
Then we three had an agreement, and Uncle Ma left.
We just thought of one thing: it was terrible that we had our hair cut there while Uncle Ma was not around. Damn, now those lanugos would enter our bodies.
Ma Xiaoguo was such a devil.
Speaking of the ghost lanugos, we needed to go to the back of the barbershop and see if we could peek into how he was growing those ghost lanugos in the small back room?
The baby’s hair would eat live animals. It was pretty nasty, and it was my first time hearing of this.
I told Feng Chunsheng about my idea, and he agreed.
We got out of the car and found our way around to the back of the barbershop.
It was a dead end and there was only one small path to enter. There were not so many people, but a lot of piled junk.
The window of the small back room where the ghost lanugos were brought up was sealed with thick blinds.
But… there was a small hole at the top of the blinds.
I could see inside through that hole if I could just reach.
I said to Feng Chunsheng: “Brother Chun… give me a leg up and let me check first, then it’s your turn, OK?”
Everyone would be curious if those ghost lanugos could move. It was really strange and terrible at the same time.
He thought for a while and agreed.
He laid his hands on the windowsill and bent down, and I stepped on his back and leaned toward the blinds. I looked through the little hole and checked out the inside.
I saw several glossy dark green lights inside the room, which made me feel cold.
In the middle of the room was a big tub. It was about four meters long and three meters wide, and there were some hairs floating and moving in it, emitting the occasional baby’s cry.
“Damn… It’s really amazing.” I couldn’t help but sigh.
