Chapter 2: Grandma's Story

"At night, you live in a side room with Xuelou, and I live with your grandmother, so it is convenient to take care of her, and she doesn't have much time. "www.biquge.info The mother glanced at Lin Tao and Xuelou sadly, and walked back to the house.

Lin Tao, who couldn't figure out the situation, couldn't imagine that his mother actually let him sleep in a room with a strange woman, and there was only one bed in the room. On the contrary, the girl looked down-and-out and generous, and after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, she pulled Lin Tao into the house.

"Hello, my name is Lan Xuelou."

"My name is Lin Tao."

"Of course I know that your name is Lin Tao, and I have known you for a long time, but you have forgotten me." As she spoke, Xue Lou sat on the edge of the bed as if she was very sad.

Lin Tao racked his brains and didn't figure out when he met this girl, he actually forgot about others, and people took care of their grandmother in this remote village, that was a benefactor, he actually forgot about others.

"Then do you remember when you came to Laozhai when you were a child, there was a girl named Alan?" Xue Lou looked at Lin Tao, who was trying to remember, and reminded him.

"Remember, you're Ah Lan, you're getting more and more beautiful."

His childhood playmate sat in front of him and no one came out, Lin Tao smiled awkwardly, so he took out his usual style and sat next to the snow building and chatted.

It turned out that Xue Lou was her grandmother's goddaughter, a few years younger than herself, studying medicine at university, and she happened to be interning this year and was looking for a job. It's really a female college eighteen changes, and the little tiger tooth when she was a child actually became a talented beauty, which really made Lin Tao ashamed.

"What kind of illness does Grandma Xuelou have?"

"I don't know about this, I just know that my grandmother called me a few days ago and asked me to come back for a while, there is something important." Xue Lou suddenly blushed as she spoke, lowered her head, and was speechless.

The two chatted until the middle of the night Lin Tao knew that his grandmother actually knew how to cup, and was the last grass ghost woman in the village who could do cup, and was loved by the people in the village, whether the whole village was sick or evil, they came to find grandma to be cured, and no one had seen grandma harm people with cupping for so many years, and grandma when she was young helped Laozhai a big favor.

At that time, Lin Tao's mother was not born, his grandmother was in her 20s, and a weasel came to the village, stealing chickens and ducks from the old village every once in a while, but he couldn't catch them, so he had to give up, but then one night all the livestock in the village disappeared overnight, and when he woke up during the day, all he saw was blood and broken meat in a place, and the angry villagers organized to turn all the mountains and five mountains near the village upside down and did not find any clues, and since then the old village has never raised any livestock.

During this time, the village was calm again, until half a year later, a child in the village disappeared, at first everyone thought that the child ran out to play and did not come back, until the next night.

A scream pierced the quiet night of the village, a family on the edge of the village was sleeping with a child in its arms, the child's aunt felt a itchy feeling on her face swept over, like a tail swept over, opened her eyes in a daze, and saw a vague shadow on the side of her child, grandma immediately woke up, pounced, went to pounce, and at the same time the child's cry also sounded, grandma shouted to her husband to pull on the light, They saw a puppy-like weasel jumping out of the window with a crying child in his mouth, and the two hurriedly chased after him, only to find that the weasel and the child's cry had disappeared into the night.

The voice of the husband and wife woke up the villagers in Laozhai, and everyone walked into the forest with torches and searched for a day and a night but did not find them. At this time, Lin Tao's grandmother comforted the couple, promised to help them find the child, came to the couple's house, took the pillow where the child slept on, and told everyone to take care of the doors and windows at night during this time, so she took some dry food and a firewood knife into the mountain. It wasn't until half a month later that Lin Tao's grandmother returned to the village with the child and a weasel's skin, and since then there has been no filth in the village, and people are especially grateful to their grandmother and often send something to their grandmother.

"And then? How did the grandmother find the child, and whether the weasel was so powerful. can actually pick up a child. ”

After listening to Xuelou tell the story of his grandmother, but the wonderful part was omitted, Lin Tao, who was fascinated, couldn't wait to urge Xuelou to continue talking.

"Then how do you compensate me for talking for so long, and my mouth is dry."

As soon as Xue Lou finished speaking, Lin Tao immediately went to the side room to play with boiled water, sprinkled some sugar, and handed it to Xue Lou.

"Why is it so sweet?"

"How about it, it's delicious, this is what my grandmother gave me to drink when I was a child, I was sick when I first came, and when I woke up, my grandmother gave me a bowl of sweet water, which is similar to this, and I was full of strength at that time, and it was magical."

Lin Tao boasted to Xue Lou about the sweet water he had drunk, but he didn't notice that Xue Lou's face was pale with shock.

"What's wrong, your face is so bad" At this time, Lin Tao, who also found that Xuelou was wrong, asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay." Then he continued to talk to Lin Tao.

My grandmother had a cup worm called a soul bee. The hair on the child's pillow was crushed into dust and dew for the soul-attracting bee to eat, and then followed the soul-attracting bee into the depths of the mountain, which was three days and three nights.

The Soul Attraction Bee took Grandma to a mountain spring and got into her clothes, and Grandma looked at the entrance of the cave for a while, then hid in the bushes at the edge of the cave, took out a packet of powder, and sprinkled it around and on herself.

Wait until the next evening, a group of weasels came out of the hole, at the mouth of the hole seemed to smell something, and then ran into the woods, grandma saw the group of weasels gone and concluded that the big weasel that took the child must still be in the hole, so she quietly walked into the hole, the winding hole was filled with a smell of damp rot, and at the same time there was the smell of weasels, the stimulated grandmother couldn't stand it and swallowed a pill, and then instantly felt refreshed, When I got to the deepest part of the cave, I found a big weasel sleeping on his stomach, with piles of livestock bones on the side, and some broken steps of clothes.

Grandma took out a delicate old sandalwood box from her bosom, the vermilion lacquer on it had already been worn away, but the carved flower sketches on it were not damaged in the slightest.

Opening the box, a green toad the size of a coin jumped out of the box and into the grandmother's hand, who gently stroked the little toad and put it on the ground.

The little turquoise toad jumped into the arms of the sleeping weasel, burrowed into the hair, and disappeared with a bite, and the big weasel tickled its hind legs and scratched them, rolled over and went back to sleep.

In less than a moment, the big weasel suddenly jumped up from the ground, stared at his brown eyes and looked around, and at the same time kept leaving blood in his mouth, and after a while, he fell to the ground and convulsed.
