Chapter 17: Red Eyes and Barley
Her voice was like coming out of my stomach, a rumbling low voice that was not at all like a woman's voice, I closed my eyes tightly to prevent blood from flowing into my eyes, and suddenly felt a great force pull my feet towards the kitchen door, and when I opened my eyes again, I was already lying on the bed, and my grandfather was holding a silver needle and piercing the soul talisman on my back.
"Grandpa," I saw that it was grandpa, and immediately threw myself into my grandfather's arms and cried.
"Good, the candle stopped crying, did you go outside to play just now? Don't cry, it's all fake. "Grandpa coaxed me, but I still cared about my sugar and the pot of rice in the pot.
"Grandpa from the kitchen is going with me." I got out of bed and tugged at my grandfather's sleeve and walked out the door.
"Where are you going so late?" Grandpa half-pushed and half-pushed behind me, and this time grandpa had the courage to push open the kitchen door and walk in without thinking about it.
"Ahh The moment I opened the door, a pair of blood-red eyes met my eyes, and I immediately hid behind my grandfather and wrapped his legs.
"What's wrong with the candles? What do you see? "Grandpa touched my head and comforted me kindly.
"Red eyes, she secretly boiled porridge and drank it herself." I hugged my grandfather's leg and secretly picked my head into the house, and my red eyes were gone.
"Are you hungry? Hehe, let's go, grandpa will make you porridge to drink. "Grandpa took me by the hand and walked into the kitchen, took out a fire sickle and lit a candle, and brought me a small square stool for me to sit on.
Grandpa walked to the side of the rice cylinder and opened the cylinder head, and I saw that my grandfather was grabbing handfuls of blood-red rice, and I immediately started crying. But before I could cry, a cold hand reached out from behind my back and covered my mouth.
"No wonder I can't blow it, I like you more and more." Icy water ran down my head. It slipped down my hair and onto my ears, and from my ears to my chin, and dripped down the tip of my chin onto my hands, and my pores opened in cold sweat where the ice water passed, and I looked down to see a bright red spot on the back of my hand, it turned out that it was not cold water, but blood flowing from her mouth. Then she covered my mouth again, and I couldn't make a sound at all, so I could only distort my face to the maximum. Let the tears flow freely down the corners of my eyes, I just hope that grandpa can see the difference between me.
"Okay, our rice is going to be cooked, are the candles sleepy? It'll be good in a while. "Because the candle was placed next to the stove. Grandpa was holding the bowl and couldn't see me sitting with the backlight on the side. It's just that when they heard that I hadn't made a sound for a long time, they thought I was sleepy, so they made a sound to try to coax me.
"Uh-huh! Uh-huh! "I saw my grandfather looking at me and making as much noise as he could.
"Candles? What's wrong? Grandpa looked at me as he lifted the lid and poured rice into the pot.
"Hmm!" This time it wasn't my voice, but the voice of the person in the pot, even the grandfather was startled, and as soon as the hand holding the bowl was released, the white porcelain bowl fell, and the mouth of the white porcelain bowl was completely buckled on the face of the person in the pot.
"Barley? Alas. Barley, you don't sleep in the middle of the night. What are you doing sleepwalking in the pot? Grandpa took the white porcelain bowl away from the barley's face, patted the blood and rice grains on the barley's body, and pulled the barley out of the pot, but the barley still couldn't speak and moved slowly, and even came out of the pot and fell directly to the ground, and his feet couldn't stand steadily.
"What's the matter, barley, why did you kneel down for your uncle?" Grandpa rubbed his eyes and looked at the barley lying on the ground.
"Uh-huh!" I struggled to get my grandfather for help, but the barley also made a noise that overlapped with my voice.
"Let's go." The red eyes said and took my hand, my whole body was pulled out of my body, and I was sitting upright on the small stool just now, but I was lying on the ground softly at this time.
At this time, I was completely obedient to being roamed in the yard by the red-eyed woman holding her hand, and the grandfather in the kitchen was still bothering about the barley who suddenly lay on the ground, because what was tied to the barley was a strand of long black hair, and the body of the barley was completely out of his control, and even his mouth was strangled by a strand of hair; Grandpa's eyesight is not very good, and the lights in the house are dim, I guess by the time Grandpa cracks the pile of hair and remembers me, I have been taken to an unknown place by the red eye.
She didn't say a word to me along the way, just took my hand and wandered back and forth in the courtyard of the ancestral house, not even letting go of the horns, and everywhere we went, all the spirits were jumping and hiding, for fear that one of them would not be able to dodge and be caught by the red-eyed woman.
"Did you catch me just to walk?" I really felt bored, and after walking for a long time, I even lost a lot of fear, so I stopped and asked.
She ignored me and continued to drag my arm forward, walking around the yard about ten times in a row, her eyes were no longer so red, and the color became very pale.
"Why do you always have to puff out your cheeks?" Now that I think about it, I was definitely the newborn calf that my mother said was not afraid of tigers and dared to take the initiative to talk to evil spirits.
She stopped and slowly turned her head to look at me, just as a breeze blew, blowing her messy black hair, she opened her mouth and blood immediately flowed down the corners of her mouth, I saw that there was no tongue in her mouth, the place that should have been a tongue was now occupied by a pool of blood, and the blood was still flowing out, her mouth opened wider and wider, and the incision at the base of the small half of the tongue was the source of the blood; I was already dumbfounded, she didn't scratch me for my tongue, did she?
"See? I don't have a tongue! Do you see my tongue there? A deep voice came from her stomach.
"I didn't see it!" I threw her hand and ran, but she just floated in front of me and blocked my way, grabbed my chin with her hand and lifted it up, making my eyes meet hers, blood still running down the corner of her mouth.
"It doesn't matter if you see it, because I bit it off my stomach myself! Haha" She cracked her mouth and laughed again, and a large gulp of blood came out of her mouth and landed on my face.
"Let her go! Your opponent is me! It was at this moment that the barley appeared with a piece of red rune paper, which diverted her attention, and she raised her head to look at the barley.
"Hehe, the yellow-haired girl who has not dried up, come if you have the ability." She grabbed me by the chin and threw me to the ground to make eye contact with the barley.
"Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang" I didn't think about running to the kitchen, but when I heard the voice of the barley behind me, I couldn't help but stop and want to see what the barley was going to do.
"Grandpa?" I still wanted to see that I had been pulled back by a lot of force, and when I came back to my senses, I was already lying on the kitchen floor, and my grandfather was pricking my back with a needle.
"Candle, you're back!" Grandpa happily picked me up and put clothes on me, but I didn't cry in my grandfather's arms this time, and I ran to the peach tree in the yard without thinking about it.
It must be a water product (to be continued......)
