Chapter 6: The Wooden Sword
Uncle Zeng's words stunned the two captains, but Uncle Zeng didn't explain much to them, and after sending the two people out of the cowshed, he pulled Grandpa and explained some things.
Captain Zhao and Village Chief Chen waited outside the door for about an hour, and during this hour, Uncle Zeng also explained the matter to his grandfather. Let him go is not to say that the real grandfather has the ability to cure snake spirits, but because there is cause and effect between him and snake spirits, and it is most suitable for him to go.
Grandpa never thought that he had been reading books for more than ten years, and in the end he would have a day to be a god, and his head would be big at that time.
But Uncle Zeng didn't leave Taiqing Village even if he was killed, there was no way, it was important to save people, so Grandpa could only have the courage to go to Baisha Village with Captain Zhao.
Before leaving, Uncle Zeng gave his grandfather a rough wooden sword, which he had sharpened with a stick in the cowshed.
"When you arrive, hang this sword at the door, and after dark, you will be out of the house, and you will survive the night. Uncle Zeng repeatedly explained a few words, and then grandpa got into Captain Zhao's caravan and started the first trip in his life to exorcise evil spirits and save people.
When grandpa arrived in the neighboring village and saw Zheng Huanian lying on the bed, his leg was simply miserable. Not to mention the blood soaked in gauze inside and out, full of silver needles, Fu Lijuan also heard the news, sat on the edge of the bed to take care of it, and tears flowed like beads with broken threads.
"Why don't you send this to the hospital in the town?" Grandpa looked worried, and didn't dare to think about what the gauze was like underground, so he asked the old doctor. The old doctor said: "He can't move in this state, the car can be turned upside down for a few hours, I have already called the town, and the ambulance will not arrive until tomorrow." ”
Anyway, we have to get through tonight first.
Grandpa also muttered in his heart, he didn't have this ability, and he relied on the rough-looking wooden sword in his hand.
"Brother Dazhu, what are you doing?" Fu Lijuan, who went to the house to change the water, saw her grandfather hanging a sword at the door, wiped her tears and asked.
At this time, grandpa can't wipe his face, and he can only tell the truth.
Fu Lijuan didn't laugh at him after hearing this, maybe Zheng Huanian's incident had too much impact on her, she was silent for a while before asking: "Brother Dazhu, on that tree..." Are there really immortals?"
"Whether there are immortals, I don't know. But my uncle said that there was a harmful goblin living up there. Grandpa found a rope and put the wooden sword through the crack in the window above the doorway, and hung it vertically over the door.
Just such a thing that tofu may not be able to be cut, can scare the snake spirit? To be honest, grandpa still has no bottom in his heart.
There is no bottom in my heart, and the sky is dark. Grandpa casually ate two bites at Captain Zhao's house, then returned to the health center and stayed by Zheng Huanian's bedside, and several people's emotions became more tense as time passed.
Because there may be goblins tonight, grandpa and Captain Zhao tacitly sent Fu Lijuan, who was a girl, home, and let the old doctor go to Captain Zhao's house to take refuge, leaving the two old men to guard the unconscious Zheng Huanian.
"Big pillar, come and see, this blood stain is getting redder and redder!" Suddenly Captain Zhao shouted, startling the grandfather who was guarding the door.
The slender blood streak was like a red rope around Zheng Huanian's neck, and it looked like blood was about to ooze out.
"Don't worry, my uncle... It's Lin Zhenren who has a way to deal with it. Grandpa saw sweat on his head, but fortunately, Uncle Zeng had expected this situation, and asked him to bring something else besides the wooden sword.
Grandpa asked Captain Zhao to find an oil lamp, poured some yellow powder into it, lit it and placed it directly above Zheng Huanian's head.
There was still a lot of yellow powder, and Grandpa sprinkled it all at the door.
As the oil lamps were lit, a choking smell filled the room. Captain Zhao was curious and asked what it was, and Grandpa said that it was realgar, and snakes hated this the most.
And that lamp is an everlasting lamp, Uncle Zeng said that as long as the everlasting lamp is not extinguished, Zheng Huanian will not be able to die.
I don't know if it was really the ever-bright lamp that played a role, or other factors, the blood marks on Zheng Huanian's neck seemed to have really stopped spreading after the lamp was lit.
After the first pass, Grandpa and Captain Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. After staying up like this for more than three hours, a cold wind suddenly blew in the dark night, blowing a stirring spirit on the two people who were dozing inside.
Captain Zhao thought it was a snake spirit, subconsciously grabbed the axe, and looked nervously at the door.
Grandpa also played a drum in his heart, and when he looked out, he didn't see anything. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly someone was shaking behind him.
"Captain Zhao?" Grandpa turned his head suspiciously, and suddenly saw Captain Zhao swinging an axe and slashing at him with a hideous face!
When an accident happens, most of the time the brain is blank. Grandpa too, he didn't think to hide at all, until the axe slashed at him, blood splattered out, and the sharp pain burned his nerves, and he screamed.
Captain Zhao's face was splashed with blood, and he had the usual appearance with an axe in his hand, and said with a hideous smile: "The old Taoist scares me!"
"You—You're not Captain Zhao?" Grandpa was cut down in the tunnel, and he screamed.
This scream woke people up directly.
A spirit bounced up from his chair and quickly touched his arm, there was no wound or blood, but the pain of being split by the axe seemed to be there.
Grandpa found out that it was his own dream, and his shirt was soaked in cold sweat. Captain Zhao was still dozing off beside him, and the terrifying axe was in his hand as if in a dream.
In a dream, he was cut with an axe, and his grandfather was somewhat embarrassed, and he got up and was about to walk, when he suddenly saw two yellow lights outside the door, and then looked closely, and saw a person walking outside the courtyard.
That Fu Lijuan walked into the courtyard, wore a beautiful flower dress, and walked outside the door like a flower, throwing a seductive look at her grandfather: "Brother Dazhu, you come out." I'm scared alone. You'll stay with me. ”
Grandpa was a little uncalm at that time, a twenty-five-year-old young man, who was in adolescence, and the throbbing can be imagined.
But grandpa didn't forget what he was here for, and when he was about to step out, he remembered Uncle Zeng's words, scratched his head and said, "Lijuan, it's the middle of the night, hurry up and go back to sleep, how dangerous it is." ”
"Brother Dazhu, I just want to tell you a few words about the girl's heart. Fu Lijuan shook her head and looked at him with her eyes open.
Grandpa looked at her eyes, and suddenly felt that his brain was getting more and more dizzy, and somehow he was very willing to go out, even if it was a sea of swords and fires outside.
At this moment, a hand pulled him violently, and then there were two snaps, and the grandfather received two heavy slaps in the face, and it hurt hotly in an instant.
Turning his head, he saw a frightened Captain Zhao shaking him vigorously: "Comrade Xiaolin, Comrade Xiaolin!
Grandpa is so angry in his heart, your surname is Zhao, don't you cut me in your dreams, you have to slap me twice when you wake up? and let me wake up, in the end are you dreaming or I dreaming!
"Comrade Xiaolin, why are you going with an axe? I called you and you didn't agree, my brother could only wake you up. Captain Zhao didn't care what his grandfather thought, but explained with palpitations.
Grandpa was stunned, looked down, and was suddenly frightened.
The axe that was still by Captain Zhao's side just now is actually in his hand at this moment!
"Where's Lijuan?" Grandpa hurriedly turned around, but the compound was empty, where was Fu Lijuan's shadow?
"Didn't she go back to sleep? Captain Zhao shook his head.
At this point, both of them were silent, although they didn't say it explicitly, but they both understood what was going on.
Grandpa is fascinated, the snake spirit on the big banyan tree has already come. It's just that there is a wooden sword hanging at the door, and it doesn't dare to come in, so it wants to trick grandpa out of the door by dreaming and blinding.
Thinking of this, grandpa was afraid for a while, and the hot slap marks on his face no longer hurt. If Captain Zhao hadn't pulled him in time, God knows what would have happened when he went out!
"Captain, let's not sleep, get through tonight and everything will be over. Grandpa swallowed and said to Captain Zhao.
Captain Zhao also agreed, and the two of them stayed up all night with eye to eye, regardless of the wind and fog outside, just looking forward to the dawn.
Finally, when the rooster crowed, Grandpa finally couldn't stay up anymore, and fell asleep as soon as his eyes were closed.
But he couldn't sleep soundly this night, and as soon as he fell asleep, someone came to his dream.
Dressed in a black cloak, much more evil than the yellow coat: "Don't care about the things that shouldn't be taken care of, if there is a yellow skin to protect you, I can't kill you?"
