Chapter 8: The Evil

On the second day, Xiao Yu, as usual, cut branches in the apple orchard with his parents, which is what he basically does every year after he came to Shimo Village! The whole village relies on apple orchards to make a living, but fortunately, with the increasing state subsidies for farmers, some young people who work outside have also returned to Shimo Village one after another and started to grow apples.

The area of apple planting in Shimo Village is also expanding wildly, and the surrounding hills are basically all contracted, and there is a tendency to continue to yearn for expansion.

"It's strange, why didn't Grandma Wang go up the mountain today" Xiao Yu cut off a useless branch and said with some doubts.

Xiao Qiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile, "Your grandmother Wang went out to deliver last night, and she had to climb a few mountains, so she must be tired, and she will probably come back later."

"Dumb...."Xiao Yu's mother stretched out her hand and kept making some gestures, Xiao Yu could understand these gestures, his mother was saying that Grandma Wang had just come back this morning and seemed to be sick.

"Mom, you said Grandma Wang is sick?" Xiao Yu said.

Xiao Yu's mother nodded, and then began to compare again, which means that when she saw Aunt Wang's granddaughter this morning, he said that Grandma Wang was sick and he was going to the town to buy medicine.

"Grandma Wang has always been in good health, she went out last night and got sick when she came back, so difficult that she encountered something unclean?" Xiao Yu muttered to himself.

Xiao Qiang, who was on the side, couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and immediately glared at Xiao Yu and said, "Don't talk nonsense, how old are you, what do you know, don't think that you will learn something by going to the Taoist temple often, go to school early next year, and you won't be in shape for one less day."

Xiao Yu stuck out his tongue and didn't speak, but he muttered to himself in his heart, "A few days ago, Grandma Wang's face turned dark, as if she had encountered something unclean, and today Grandma Wang is sick, it seems that there is indeed something wrong with this matter."

Thinking like this in his heart, Xiao Yu yawned and said, "Parents, I'm sleepy, go home first."

"Go back, there is cold boiled water on the table, don't drink well water for a day," Xiao Qiang instructed behind him.

"Got it..."Xiao Yu replied from afar, but he was thinking about Grandma Wang's affairs in his heart, so he trotted all the way and ran directly to Grandma Wang's house.

Because Grandma Wang is a stable woman nearby, her usual income is more than that of ordinary families, plus her sons are working outside, and they will send money back on time every month! Therefore, Grandma Wang's family was the first person in the village to live in a brick house, although this brick house is only one floor, but in Shimo Village, it is already a remarkable figure.

Walking into Grandma Wang's yard, Xiao Yu saw that Grandma Wang's daughter-in-law was weaving bamboo baskets, which was also preparing for this year's apple harvest, and beside the woman, there was also a small stove, and a casserole was placed on the stove, and there was a pungent smell of Chinese medicine from it.

"Aunt Li, is Grandma Wang better?" As soon as Xiao Yu entered the door, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Hey, it's Xiao Yu, come in" Aunt Li saw Xiao Yu and immediately greeted warmly, and at the same time took out an apple from the bamboo basket on the side and said, "Come, eat an apple, just taken out of the cellar."

"Thank you, Aunt Li" Xiao Yu took the apple with a smile, took a bite hard, and then said, "I heard that Grandma Wang is sick, how is it now?" ”

"The barefoot doctor just left, saying that it was a cold and prescribed medicine," Aunt Li said, turning around from time to time and turning the bowl of Chinese medicine with two chopsticks.

"Oh... Then I'll go in and take a look" Xiao Yu responded, and then while eating the apple, he raised his legs and walked to the back room, while Aunt Li outside also poured the medicine into the bowl and followed behind Xiao Yu.

As soon as he walked into the house, Xiao Yu's brows suddenly wrinkled, because this room was facing east, and the sun was shining directly in the morning, so it stands to reason that the yang energy should be very strong, but this room has a very heavy yin energy, and this yin energy does not look like it has just appeared, it seems to have been gathered for many years.

Just when Xiao Yu was puzzled, he suddenly heard a burst of children's laughter, and Che's laughter became louder and louder, and the source of the sound was from Grandma Wang's room.

Aunt Li saw where Xiao Yu was standing and didn't leave, so she asked with some confusion, "Xiao Yu, why don't you leave?" ”

Xiao Yu didn't speak, just raised his head and looked around and said, "Aunt Li, I heard the child's laughter just now, do you have any relatives in your family who came to see Grandma Wang?" ”

"Kids? No, your grandma Wang only got sick when she came back last night, and his granddaughter hasn't come back yet, where is the child" Aunt Li didn't notice Xiao Yu's abnormality, and after a brief speech, she lifted the curtain and walked in.

Xiao Yu was a little puzzled, but he still followed behind, but when he walked into Grandma Wang's room, he was suddenly startled, because at this time, he saw that in Grandma Wang's room, there were six or seven children, these children were all wearing red belly pockets, some were sitting on the ground, some were leaning against the wall, and they were all pale and looked a little wooden.

"Good fellow, is this in the kid's nest?" Xiao Yu muttered in his heart, but he didn't go to see those children, and followed Aunt Li straight to Grandma Wang's bed.

"Mom, come and drink the medicine, the barefoot doctor said that it is not a serious illness, just drink the medicine" Aunt Li stood in front of the bed with a whimper.

"Grandma Wang...."Xiao Yu greeted and was about to say something, but suddenly saw that next to Grandma Wang's pillow, there was a child lying on his stomach, but this child's face was blue, his eyes were red, and he looked smaller than other children, but the yin qi on his body was much thicker than that of other children.

Xiao Yu just glanced at the child, and immediately took out a folded talisman from his arms, this kind of talisman was drawn by Xiao Yu when the Taoist temple was fine, although the power is not great, but it is more than enough to deal with these children's spirits.

"Grandma Wang, yesterday the Taoist master gave me a talisman, saying that it can ward off evil spirits, you put it on your body, maybe you will be cured" Xiao Yu pretended to be okay and handed the talisman to Grandma Wang.

"Well, good boy, really filial" Grandma Wang said weakly, and she was not polite, and directly put the talisman in her pocket! Then he took Aunt Li's medicine and drank it in one go.

Sure enough, after Grandma Wang brought the talisman given by Xiao Yu, the yin qi on his forehead suddenly dissipated a lot, and Grandma Wang's complexion began to become ruddy.

"This barefoot doctor's medicine really works, I just drank it, and I felt stronger," Grandma Wang said with some surprise.

Xiao Yu smiled, and then glanced at the child next to the pillow out of the corner of his eye, only to see that the child looked at Grandma Wang with some surprise, and then looked at Grandma Wang's coat pocket with a talisman, and then his face suddenly became hideous.

"Ah.....h

The child let out a terrifying scream, as if calling for something! And after the child's cry came out, the children standing in the middle of the room immediately gathered around the bed! And the red-eyed child turned his hands into claws and grabbed directly at Grandma Wang.
