On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the new year is celebrated.

According to the traditional saying, the twenty-third is the day when the king of the stove goes to heaven.

Some places have to prepare fires, and some have to eat hemp candy, which is the dry food of the king of the stove. In addition, if there is a condition, a white rooster should be prepared, but it must be live, and it will be placed in front of the offering table, which is the mount of the Lord of the Stove.

Li Yan didn't find a white rooster, even if the live chickens sold in the vegetable market, they were all kinds of three-yellow chickens and the like, even if they occasionally found white-feathered chickens, they were all hens.

It was impossible to say that Li Yan only bought a bunch of baked cakes and hemp candy, and while placing them in the kitchen, he asked the little zombie: "This sacrificial stove, is there really a stove prince?" ”

"Absolutely." The little zombie munched on the hemp candy and said, "All kinds of immortals are real, you don't even know this?" ”

"That's what the old man said, but apart from you guys in the underworld system, I haven't seen any other immortals." Li Yan said.

"Didn't I tell you, Heavenly Court left, and all kinds of immortals basically followed, only we, the grassroots gods, were stayed." The old man interjected, "But don't worry, Heavenly Court is already on the way back, the advance army has already arrived, and the underworld is being rebuilt, and the gods of Heavenly Court are estimated to return to their positions one after another......"

Li Yan pouted, of course he knew about this, but it had been a few months, and he hadn't seen the restart of the underworld, who knew that it would be built in the Year of the Monkey.

However, since the god of the stove was not there at all, the ceremony of sacrificing the stove was just a formality, and Li Yan began to prepare dinner again.

Tofu vermicelli soup, paired with impatient pancakes, is rare without meat, but it still tastes good.

After preparing dinner, Li Yan took out the phone and called Liu Xiaoya and asked her to come back for dinner.

But as soon as the phone was connected, I heard a dog barking from there.

Li Yan wondered for a moment, although Liu Xiaoya came with a pet and looked like a half-sized Samoyed, but that thing was actually a fox, how could it make a dog bark?

"Wait a minute, there's a sick number here......" Liu Xiaoya hurriedly said and hung up the phone.

Li Yan wondered again, could it be that Liu Xiaoya changed to a veterinarian?

Relieved for a while, Li Yan simply grabbed a fire and went out to the clinic while eating.

When I arrived at the door of the clinic, I saw several neighbors watching at the door, but inside the clinic, there were dogs barking incessantly, and the voice was still very fierce.

"Ah, Xiao Li is here," Aunt He, one of the onlookers, grabbed Li Yan when she saw him and said, "Go and take a look, this child is afraid of rabies......"

Li Yan looked inside, but he was a little stunned - he saw that Liu Xiaoya was examining a child sitting on a stool, but the child kept barking like a dog, and even his eyes and demeanor were like a vigilant dog.

Li Yan squeezed past the onlookers with a stomach full of doubts, and entered the clinic, the child saw Li Yan approaching, and immediately turned his head and barked at Li Yan twice, and twisted his neck nervously twice.

"You came just in time, look at what's wrong with him......" Liu Xiaoya said to Li Yan.

"Hmm." Li Yan agreed, and at the same time looked at a couple standing next to him, thinking that it should be the child's parents.

"Tell me about his situation......" Li Yan said while pretending to check the child, but the child was even more resistant to him, as soon as Li Yan approached, he roared in his throat and bit Li Yan's wrist when he opened his mouth.

Li Yan hurriedly dodged, the child's mouth was empty, and he immediately called at Li Yan twice.

"Be careful...... Liu Xiaoya admonished, and then introduced the situation, "Well, they are from Linxian, the child began to have abnormalities the night before yesterday, and at first he only occasionally learned two dog barks, these two are his parents, and at that time he thought that the child was playing nonsense, and he didn't let him learn to bark dogs, so he didn't say anything else." But when he got up yesterday morning, the child began to bark again, and he couldn't even speak normally, no matter what he said to him, he could only bark......"

The child's father said: "At that time, I thought he had a rabies attack, I was almost scared to death, and hurriedly took him to the hospital, but the doctor said that it was not rabies, and there was no result after a day of examination, and today we took him to the hospital attached to the hospital, but the expert also said that he had not seen this situation, and he did not find any problem after a day, and then we were going to find a hotel to stay overnight, and then change the hospital tomorrow." And then the innkeeper said you guys are here to treat incurable diseases......"

"Doctor, what's wrong with my son? Do you see that? The child's mother asked expectantly.

"Well, it can be cured." Li Yan replied.

"Huh? Can this be cured? The child's mother suddenly asked excitedly.

"Well, he is blocked by the meridians and lost his mind, it should be enough to massage a few times......" Li Yan said, raised his hand to make a posture of massage, and patted and kneaded the child's back a few times.

The child, who had been learning to bark at the dog, immediately shut up, as if he was asleep, his eyes were closed, and then he opened them again, but his eyes were calm, he turned his head to look around, and shouted at the woman: "Mom......"

The woman immediately cried excitedly, and took the child in her arms and shouted, "Good son, it's okay, it's okay......"

But as soon as she said this, the child suddenly convulsed, and then "Wang" learned to bark at the dog.

"Doctor, what's going on?" The child's father asked in a panic.

Li Yan frowned, and was also a little puzzled, in fact, the child's situation is not complicated, according to the past, this is called "bumper", to put it bluntly, it is the soul of an animal, which is possessed by the child.

It is said that in the past, in the countryside, it was very common to bump into guests, no matter what kind of mountain spirits and wild monsters they were, after cultivating to a certain extent, they had the ability to leave the body and possess the living. Under normal circumstances, the people who are hit are some frail old people, children and the like. After being hit, it was nothing more than a strange behavior, asking for food and drink.

It's also very simple to deal with the bumper, and those who have spells can do it with a little evil charm, and even ordinary people who don't have spells can take a dirty urinal or something like that, and put it on his head, which is enough to scare it away, and people will naturally be fine.

When Li Yan was massaging just now, he used a little evil handprint, not to mention a small bumper, even if it was really possessed by a ghost, it was enough to beat the evil spirit away.

But who would have thought that it would only be temporarily suppressed for a short time, and then it would relapse immediately?
