Chapter 8 Finding a Helper
The light in the living room suddenly turned on again, and I felt a little relieved that he finally had a head to lean on at home.
Lao Liu came out and saw that there were four of us, each of them was quite flustered, he didn't know what was going on, so he asked me, I told me about Teacher Shen's situation and the matter of moving the coffin, and also said that the ruffians who came to slander people in the morning, because I vaguely felt that there was a problem in it.
Lao Liu's brows sank slightly after hearing this, and after a while, he said, "Okay, I'll go with you, you wait a minute." Then he turned and walked back into the house. I knew that he was going to get the guy, and the other three people present didn't understand Lao Liu's work procedures, so they all looked around. After a while, Lao Liu still came out with the cloth bag: "Let's go." ”
So a group of five of us rushed to the station.
When I arrived at the place, it was not early, and the girls basically went back to the house to rest, and these girls also had to endure a lot of physical labor every day, which was very hard, but it was okay for them to see us so flustered and Lao Liu, and they were more worried.
A few of us walked straight to Mr. Shen's dormitory, and as soon as Lao Liu entered the room and saw Mr. Shen on the bed, he said, "Not good!" There was surprise and anxiety in his tone.
At this point, we panicked, but we just saw him lying there, no different from just now. I was about to go over and shake him and give Lao Liu a performance of closing his eyes and muttering, but Lao Liu grabbed me: "Don't move him, he is very weak now, and he can't stand the toss." ”
Then Lao Liu asked the big waist and the others to retreat outside the house, and said to me: "Young man, you are different from ordinary people, you should be fine if I do it for a while, you can stay here and help me." I nodded in agreement.
Lao Liu said again: "Now there is something that is sucking the anger in Teacher Shen's body, I don't know what it is, but there are no more than two possibilities, one is the thing after the death of the ruffian who came in the morning, and the other is the grave owner who moved the grave last night." If it's the former, I'll be able to subdue him in a moment, but if it's the latter, I may not be able to. ”
According to Mr. Shen's abnormal time, it should be the latter. But I replied anyway, "Cheng, you say, what am I going to do?" ”
"Take" Lao Liu took out a yellow paper talisman drawn on yellow paper from his pocket and gave it to me, "You stand next to me, if it is that ruffian, he will feel that someone is dealing with him for a while, and it will inevitably come up to Mr. Shen and rush over to do something to us, I may not be idle at that time, you can just stick this talisman on his head." I nodded.
Then, the two of us cleaned up the table, moved the table to the front of the bed, and Lao Liu took out three white candles from his pocket in turn, a dark red line, a rusty old copper coin, and several pieces of rune paper with different contents were also placed on the table in turn. He stood behind the table, facing Mr. Shen, arranged the candle into a triangle with three vertices, circled it with a red thread, and placed the copper coin in the center. He said to me, "Attention. ”
I nodded, concentrated, and looked at Mr. Shen with bated breath, to be honest, I was a little nervous, I don't know if he will really jump up like Lao Liu said in a while. The three outside the door also seemed nervous, and I couldn't hear them at all.
In the peripheral eye of my eyes, I saw Lao Liu lighting the candles one by one, and extinguishing the oil in the room, and then the candles became the light source in the room, and I saw that Mr. Shen's body was still motionless in the candlelight wrapped in a thin quilt. Suddenly, Lao Liu ignited a piece of talisman paper with his left hand and put it on the copper coin, pinched the recipe in front of his chest with his right hand, and recited a mantra in his mouth, I was even more nervous, I knew that this was really the beginning, and if there was danger, it would be very close!
As the rune paper burned, I saw a trace of sweat oozing from Mr. Shen's head. But I felt that something was wrong, and when I looked closely, I was really startled, Mr. Shen cast a shadow on the wall, and there was a humanoid shadow, which was hunched over his shadow, and his mouth seemed to bite Mr. Shen's neck, and it seemed to be mouth-to-mouth with Mr. Shen. I know that this must be what Lao Liu Gang said about sucking anger.
My hands shook uncontrollably, and I couldn't tell if I was scared or nervous. I saw that Lao Liu's right hand did not move, and he picked up a piece of talisman paper with his left hand, lit it on the candle and pointed sharply in the direction of the shadow.
The flame of the rune paper seemed to shoot out with a gust of wind, pointing straight at the shadow on the wall, but in an instant, the candle went out, and so did the fire.
My heart began to beat wildly, and I stood there at a loss. In the darkness I heard Lao Liu sigh, and then he lit the oil lamp again. With the light, I instantly settled down a lot, and when I saw Mr. Shen lying on the bed, his appearance did not change much, but he shook his head slightly, and his mouth trembled slightly.
I looked back and saw that there was still a thin smoke on the candle, but there was blood on the table! I looked at Lao Liu, but there was a hole in his left hand, although it was not very big, but there was still a lot of blood, as if it was directly splashed.
Lao Liu didn't speak, and motioned for me to go out first. We walked outside the door together, and they panicked when they saw the hole in Lao Liu's hand. Lao Liu pinched the opening with his right hand and asked us, "Do you still have any liquor here, hurry up and get me some." ”
"I'll go." The thin bamboo pole immediately ran towards the kitchen.
When the wine came, Lao Liu opened it and took a sip: "Well, the degree is good." He took another sip and sprayed it at the wound.
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter, I'm just a flesh wound, it's Teacher Shen who is in danger now, we have to take him to the town to find someone immediately, do any of you know how to drive a carriage?" A few of us looked at each other, and only Mr. Shen knew how to do this.
Lao Liu saw that we couldn't do it, so he said to me: "It's okay, it just so happens that my son is also at home tonight, which of you is going to call him." ”
Their family is also the most familiar to me, of course, I went over, so I went to their house, found Lao Liu's son, and bluntly said that he had something to help. Lao Liu's son is also a good person, and he agreed without saying a word, but at this time it was completely dark outside, at least at eight o'clock.
Next, we took some sheets and bedding, put Teacher Shen in the back of the car like the last time we placed Li Ruomei, and then got into the carriage one by one.
Lao Liu got into the co-pilot position of the carriage, and I looked at Mr. Shen from behind, and before leaving, I said to the brother: "I guess I won't go to work tomorrow, we know this situation at present, you just tell the girls that Mr. Shen went to the town for an infusion, don't say anything else." ”
"Don't worry," said the big waist, "if there is any situation in which you bring the letter back, we will figure it out together." I nodded, and Lao Liu's son started the carriage and galloped towards the town.
"Are we going to the town's big doctor?" I asked Lao Liu.
Lao Liu replied: "No, let's go to the town to find a master to help." This guy already has a certain climate, and I can't deal with it. ”
"Today's one is even better than the woman you received last time?" After I finished speaking, I realized that it seemed to be asking nonsense, and the opening in this hand still doesn't explain the problem.
Lao Liu said: "Last time, the qi was actually very weak, because there was a fox to show it." Today, this guy seems to have absorbed a lot of living anger, and his ability is extraordinary, it's not as simple as disturbing people's dreams, and eighty percent of the ruffian's death is also related to it. But now it is harming Teacher Shen, and it will inevitably endanger others in the future. ”
My heart is cold, the village said that the ruffian died violently, if it is really what Lao Liu said, wouldn't Teacher Shen be particularly dangerous? ”
Lao Liu seemed to know my concerns, and turned back to me and said, "Don't worry, let's find him in the town, he must have a way." ”
I can't help but think, fortunately there is Lao Liu in the village, otherwise what would our various things have become?
Nothing to say all the way. After arriving in the town, the car quickly stopped outside the door of a private house, and there was nothing unusual about it. Lao Liu got out of the car and called the door, I also opened the back door and got out of the car, someone in the house answered, and soon the door opened, and a person with a Taoist bun poked his head out, and saw that it was Lao Liu, a little surprised, but immediately smiled: "Senior brother, why are you here?" ”
The man came out, and I saw that he was not wearing a coat at this time, but just a plain shirt, which did have a bit of a fairy wind and bones. The Taoist priest also saw me and looked at me for a while, I was a little hairy, until Lao Liu beckoned him to carry Teacher Shen into the house together, and he took action again.
Mr. Shen was carried into the room by the four of us and placed on the bed in one room, I obviously felt that the temperature of his body had risen, he must have burned, and I was worried a little heavier. Lao Liu asked his son to go home and rest, and he had nothing to do tonight.
I just entered the door and looked at it, and the things in this house are also very simple, and the layout is similar to Lao Liu's house, but there are a few more new things. This person looks much younger than Lao Liu, but he calls Lao Liu his junior brother, and I can't help but wonder about the relationship between the two.
The Taoist priest looked at me a few more times, but didn't say anything, but asked Lao Liu what was going on. Lao Liu told his senior brother what had just happened, and I added some ins and outs on the side. The Taoist priest pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then instructed Lao Liu: "It's okay, you watch here, I'll come when I go." With that, he turned and walked out of the room.
I asked Lao Liu, "Is this your senior brother?" ”
Lao Liu said: "Yes, his surname is Ma, you can call him Ma Daoren, Mr. Ma, it doesn't matter, he has been following the master since he was a child, and his Taoism is deeper than mine. ”
I nodded, and Lao Liu continued: "Don't worry, he said it's okay, then it must be okay." ”
