Chapter 385: The Gambler (31)

Brother Yang was so frightened that he cried loudly, attracting nearby neighbors to look around, but when those people glanced at Brother Yang, they ran away as if they were running for their lives, hiding in their respective homes and locking the doors and windows. He was still crying loudly, but when he cried loudly, there was a sobbing sound in his ears, not like his voice, but more like a woman's choked voice, Brother Yang was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. Brother Yang's parents hurriedly entered the house, took out the talisman hanging in the house, and handed it to the old man with one hand. The old man shouted and cursed loudly, and quickly ran to Brother Yang, and slapped at Brother Yang's Tianling Gai, only to hear a terrible scream from behind. Brother Yang looked at the elongated shadow, as if he wanted to devour him, he was so frightened that he closed his eyes, and he didn't dare to cry out loud at this time, closing his lips and clenching his fists tightly.

The terrible sound continued for a long time, until he couldn't hear the sound anymore, and then Brother Yang opened his eyes. By this time, the old man was already sitting on the ground, panting heavily, as if he had just exhausted all his strength. At the same time, Brother Yang's parents ran over, picked up the old man sitting on the ground, and scolded Brother Yang again, and Brother Yang's father slapped him a few sticks without saying anything. It wasn't until the old man was weakly blocking in front of him that Brother Yang's father stopped. At that time, Brother Yang questioned them for a long time, but they kept silent, just urging Brother Yang to take a bath and sleep.

That night, Brother Yang slept extremely unsteadily, and he had nightmares all night. In the dream, he was chased by several black shadows for a long time, and he couldn't stop, along the ancient road in the village, zigzag and turned one alley after another, he didn't even remember how long he ran, maybe he ran for his life all night, in the end he still couldn't escape those shadows, Brother Yang was grabbed by those shadows, carried to the cliff, those shadows let out a kind laugh, before Brother Yang could react, he was thrown into the dark abyss by those shadows...... When he woke up, he was scared into a cold sweat, maybe he screamed when he woke up, the old man came over, patted Brother Yang's back gently, and told Brother Yang not to be afraid, and his mouth was still chanting: "There is grandma, all the demons and monsters can't get close to you." Don't be afraid, sleep in peace,......" the old man kept repeating these words. This thing is also quite magical, in the old man's soft whisper, Brother Yang fell asleep again, but this time he did not have nightmares, but slept until dawn.

As soon as the morning dawned, Brother Yang's parents dragged him to worship the Bodhisattva, and kept asking him to kneel in front of the Bodhisattva to thank him. At that time, Brother Yang didn't dare to ask too much, what his parents asked him to do, and he obediently did it. Afterwards, he also asked his parents, and even pestered his grandmother, asking them to tell him the truth of the matter, but they ignored Brother Yang and kept silent. also blamed Brother Yang for the fact that he returned late, and he didn't look at the time. Since then, this incident has become a shadow of Brother Yang's childhood, that is, from then on, he did not dare to go home too late. As soon as he saw the sunset, he hurried to run home.

When he recalled it now, it still scared him. After his story was finished, Bai Xuanzhi listened to it and said lightly: "If I guessed correctly, your family should have seen a few more uninvited guests behind you that night, and it is estimated that you brought those dirty things back on the way home." You should be thankful to the old man for saving your life, if those dirty things get into your door, not only you, but also your family, they are all here to find a substitute. It could be that the family is looking for a stand-in, and you have low luck and are being targeted by those dirty things. You are too young to get rid of them immediately when you are entangled, but let them follow them to the door, and although the old people's eyes are not good, they can see the dirty things, and as for why your parents can see them later, it is because your grandmother drove them away with a broom. But they will not depart and cling to your shadow. You know what the broom represents, the role of exorcism. When we celebrate the New Year's holidays, don't we have to clean up? One of the links is to use a broom to sweep some usually hidden places such as beams, which is just a formality, meaning to dust and sweep the house, drive away evil spirits, and so on. Bai Xuanzhi patiently explained, and we were stunned when we heard it.

It turns out that the sweep still has this effect. Brother Yang turned his head to look around at the black paste, and suddenly felt a little chilly, he shrank back, and said timidly: "Don't talk about this, it's quite infiltrating, I'm in a mess in my heart, stop this topic, let's talk about something else." After saying that, he looked around vigilantly, and when he saw the projection of those clumps of grass and trees, he couldn't help but tremble, and his lips trembled slightly. Bai Xuanzhi somehow had the idea of playing tricks on Brother Yang at this time, he pointed to the shadow of the tree not far away, "Brother Yang, look, there is one over there." Brother Yang was so frightened that he hid behind him, and muttered in a low voice: "Ancestors, don't blame, if there is anything offensive, I just didn't mean it, don't find me, don't ......" I followed the discovery that Bai Xuanzhi pointed out and looked over, where there was a ghost, just an ordinary tree shadow. I lightly slapped Bai Xuanzhi, turned my head to Brother Yang and said apologetically: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is fooling you, there is nothing here, you don't have to be afraid." ”

When Brother Yang heard this, he immediately raised his head and asked, "Really?" I nodded. At this moment, Bai Xuanzhi was pulled aside by Brother Yang to accept severe criticism. I stayed aside and watched with interest Bai Xuanzhi's expression as he was taught. In the end, Brother Yang seemed to have no choice but to sulk and shake his head slightly, and then there was a sigh. I smiled, stepped forward, and said to Brother Yang, "Brother Yang, don't be angry, this guy is like this." Usually I am bullied by him a lot. This time I support you, you can give him a good lecture and let him not be so embarrassed. As soon as I finished speaking, Bai Xuanyi looked at me with a sad expression. I turned a blind eye and heard but did not hear.

After a little noise like this for a while, Uncle Meng finally drove his car and stopped in front of us belatedly. He turned off the engine, opened the door, and walked down. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he showed a slightly angry face, "Grandma's, I drove in the wrong direction just now, and I went around a small road for a long time, and I almost didn't drive into the river." ”
