Chapter 40: Murderous Nursery Rhymes (4)

The rumors outside were so miraculous that the villagers were so frightened that they came again and again to ask what was going on and what happened to the sick son. At last, they said, "Just cut down the banyan tree, and I see, it's a curse to keep it."

Zhu Changrong was so angry that he said loudly, "Is it still called Banyan Village without the banyan tree, change the name to **." ”

These words are really unlucky, the person who said it was unintentional, but the listener was intentional and hurriedly interjected to block him. Zhu Changrong listened impatiently, "Let's go, let's go, don't talk about it, if you don't get sick, you will be angry with you." Whoever is healthy all year round and can't get sick, this is a coincidence, a coincidence. ”

Everyone was gossiping, but they still couldn't fight the loud and stubborn Zhu Changrong, so they had no choice but to leave.

Zhu Changrong locked the door angrily, and Zhu Ankang came over and said, "Grandpa, it's not surprising that the people in the village are suspicious, after all, things happen one after another." I'll ask the fourth and fifth brothers to add another fence around the banyan tree and make it taller, so that they can feel at ease. ”

"Nonsense." Zhu Changrong scolded in his mouth, but he was bent on keeping the banyan tree, just add it, and don't stop it, it's better than the villagers really cutting down the tree when they make a fuss. He sighed, "Go and get back quickly, don't delay." ”

Mingyue in the house had already heard the noise outside, Bai Shui and Qin Fang went up the mountain to collect medicine, and she took care of it by Su Yunkai's side. When he was noisy, I saw that his closed eyebrows and eyes twitched from time to time, but he couldn't wake up, so I knew that he was not sleeping well. Reaching out to probe his forehead, it was hot.

Obviously he was fine during the day, but why did he suddenly get sick. She changed a moist and slightly cool handkerchief and put it on his forehead, thinking that it was really the Banyan Tree Evil Sect......

I pondered and thought, but I didn't know where the singing sounded from.

“…… Sister's Hair ...... Sister's Hand ...... Sister's face...... The upside-down tree is looking at you......"

The person who sang seemed to be so far away that Mingyue couldn't hear it very clearly. But a few words that stumbled jumped up, and she felt goosebumps flying.

The room is small, but there is a bed, a table and a teapot, which makes the room even colder, and the voice seems to be close to him, like someone whispering on his shoulders and singing in a low voice about the ghost sister. She sat on the small bench and clutched the futon tightly, buried her head on the quilt, and under the quilt was Su Yunkai's hand, so she finally felt less scared.

Su Yunkai also heard the low singing, and the child's immature and crisp voice was more concerned than the noise. If the eyelids were pulled tightly, it took a lot of effort to open them, and after a moment of trance, I noticed that someone was pressing next to my arm, and when I looked down, I saw an apricot-colored ball.

"Mingyue?"

Mingyue looked up when she heard the sound and saw him wake up, and her face showed joy for a moment, "You finally woke up." ”

"I slept for a long time?"

"Not long, only an hour."

Su Yunkai's head was dizzy, and he was not very awake, Mingyue helped him sit up, fed him half a cup of tea, and he fell asleep again, so he sat quietly on the side and wiped his sweat.

Qin Fang and Bai Shui, who went to collect the medicine, had already collected the medicine they needed and turned back to the village, Bai Shui was surprised that Qin Fang didn't say a word of complaint, and he didn't rub it off, it was completely different from the usual appearance of Hang'er Langdang, "If you can do everything as seriously as you do the right thing, then you will definitely be able to do Master Su a great favor." ”

"Oh, if that's the case, it's so annoying, can you still have fun, like my brother-in-law, who longs for a hundred and eight hours a day, I don't want to follow him." Qin Fang walked down the hillside with the medicine basket on his back, the back basket was woven with bamboo, and the herbs were moist, and his back was wet through the bamboo basket, and it was very uncomfortable to get wet. He frowned slightly, without squeaking, "But you should also be lazy, a girl's family, running around all day, aren't you tired?" ”

Bai Shui glared at him, "Don't mention this." ”

"I've looked before and after, no one."

"Don't mention that."

Qin Fang pursed the corners of his lips and said seriously, "Bai Shui, let me ask you a very strict question." ”

Bai Shui didn't believe that he had any serious questions to ask, and glanced at him, "Just ask." ”

“…… Will you come to the dehydrate? ”

“……”

Bai Shui's face turned red, and he raised his hand to beat him, but was stopped by Qin Fang's shouting, "I'm really asking you about this, which girl who comes to menstruation doesn't need to be well recuperated, I have lived in the mansion for so long, and I haven't seen you rest." Doesn't it mean that you can't be too tired when you have menstruation, you don't want others to see it, so take a little rest, otherwise what if your body collapses in the future, do you want to find your brother. ”

These words came out of the man's mouth, which made Bai Shui blushing with shame, but the words were good words, and she cared about people, and she couldn't beat them anymore. But she couldn't say "thank you", so she simply turned red and ignored it.

Qin Fang remembered something again and said, "I have many younger sisters in my family, and I will always know that I am not a flower thief." ”

Bai Shui suddenly felt amused, "Explain to me what to do." ”

"I'm afraid you'll misunderstand."

Bai Shui paused, and then understood, "Misunderstanding that you are a flower thief?" ”

Qin Fang thought about it, as if it was, and nodded, "Yes." ”

Bai Shui said, "If you sleep well, I won't kick you and hit you." If you dare to move a finger, I'll break it for you. ”

Qin Fang swallowed and moved his ten fingers, just as he confirmed that his tongue was still safe that day. Thinking of that day, he remembered some "bad" things again. He who was holding the mouse cage to scare Bai Shui that day just entered the room when he heard someone coming in, so he hid behind the wardrobe, who would have thought that he would see Bai Shui undress, one by one, revealing a snow-white body, which shocked him. Until he was dragged out by Bai Shui, he was beaten by her, and he was overwhelmed......

Bai Shui saw that he suddenly didn't squeak, and couldn't help but look at the lamp twice, the breeze was so cool, how could his face be so hot and red. She slapped him on the shoulder, "You're sick too?" ”

"Nope." Qin Fang shook his head, and suddenly remembered, "Anyway, if there is really something strange under the banyan tree, then why is Mingyue who went in with him fine?" Even in the words of a Taoist monk, a woman has a heavy yin qi, and it should be Mingyue and not my brother-in-law who will get sick first, right? ”

"Is it a coincidence?"

Qin Fang shook his head, Bai Shui was not good at speculation, the topic suddenly stopped, and he could only speed up his pace and go back.

Because I went to collect medicine from the mountains near the village, when I came back, I passed under the big banyan tree and saw someone fenced, which took up half of the position at the entrance of the village, and it was even narrower.

A villager next to him said, "The ox cart can't pass through this place, eldest grandson, can't you persuade your grandfather to cut down the tree?" ”

Zhu Ankang, who was surrounding the fence with An Dexing and Sun He, raised his head and said with a smile, "Uncle Tie, I really can't, you also know that my grandfather listens to my father the most, but my father came back from the town shop a few days ago to persuade him, but it was useless." If you think, he can't persuade him, let alone us. Grandpa, it is not easy for me to build a fence high, and he is stubborn, you know, if he keeps saying cut and cut, I am afraid, he does not cut down the tree, but comes over and cuts the fence. ”

When the villagers heard this, they felt that it made sense, and they didn't dare to mention it again, and after standing for a while, they felt cold and fluttering, and they all dispersed.

Bai Shui looked up at the banyan tree, the whole tree was shrouded in a dark sky, but he could still see the lush life under the hanging lantern, and it was really difficult to connect it with the horrible nursery rhyme.

An Dexing saw him and put down the work in his hand to look at him, "The little boy is really good-eyed, but he wears a big knife at his waist, do you know how to punch and kick?" ”

Bai Shui said politely, "I know how to embroider my legs with a little fist, and the knife is just used to scare people." ”

An Dexing smiled, "If you say so, that martial arts must be very good." ”

Bai Shui was afraid that he would guess his identity as a catcher if he said too much, so he said, "I have to go back to boil medicine and say goodbye." ”

An Dexing smiled in response, watched the two leave, turned around and almost hit the root of the tree rooted in the ground, startled, "I thought someone was really hanging on the tree to look at me." ”

When Zhu Ankang heard this, he looked up at him, his eyes full of displeasure, "Don't make any more jokes." ”

The tone was calm and unfriendly, but An Dexing was not angry at all, but patted him on the shoulder, "There will be an end soon." ”

Sun He, who was weaving a fence on the side, didn't make a sound, but he understood. He didn't look up when he heard the sound, and was still concentrating on wrapping the fence.

After An Dexing said this, the people under the banyan tree were silent. There was no one around, only the leaves of the banyan tree fluttered in the wind, like eating leaves, devouring little by little.

Su Yunkai did not get better after drinking the medicine, not only did he not get better, but he also spit out the medicine, which made Zhu Changrong not strange.

He squatted in front of the medicine basket and rummaged through the medicines, confirming them over and over again, "It's obviously a medicine to ward off wind evil, let alone drinking a bowl, even half a bowl should be useful." Su Gongzi is young and has a good foundation, and it should be effective immediately. ”

Bai Shui frowned and said, "Why don't you go and invite a Lang Zhong." ”

"Even if it's really Lang Zhong who came, he should be using these medicines." Zhu Changrong twisted his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, suddenly thought of a possibility, and hurriedly ran to Su Yunkai's room. When he sat down, he rolled his eyelids and tongue, his eyeballs were cloudy, his face was blue, and his tongue was slightly black, and he jumped up, "This is obviously poisoning." ”

Mingyue next to her was startled, "Poisoned? ”

"Yes, I didn't look at it carefully before and thought it was an ordinary wind evil, but now that the poison has entered the body, the signs are even more obvious." Zhu Changrong looked at the sky outside and said, "I'll go pick some detoxifying herbs, but I'll only be a little simple." You two also go and find Lang Zhong, three stinkers can still top one Zhuge Liang. ”

"Hmm!" Mingyue immediately got up and ran out, she had asked the village chief during the day, and knew where the nearest Langzhong was.

Bai Shui stepped on his heels, and as soon as he took a step, he smelled the man on the bed coughing heavily. She paused, saw that Qin Fang happened to bring the tea, and said, "You go in and take care of it, Mingyue and I will go to find Langzhong." ”

But when she went out, Mingyue had already run away.

At this time, the night had fallen, and there were few lights in the village, so dark that I could only faintly see the yellow mud road on the ground through the stars.

As soon as she left the entrance of the village and ran under the banyan tree, a black shadow followed her, silent and unnoticed.

Not long after the shadow passed, another shadow followed.

It looks like a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind.
