Chapter 9: The Drunken Boy (1)
In Majia Town, after walking through the bustling streets and passing through several alleys, Shen Chen led everyone to some dilapidated houses, where there was a child who was playing under the tree when he saw Shen Chen's arrival, and happily danced and shouted in the old house: "Brother Shen is here, grandma Brother Shen is here."
After a while, the child was helped out of the old house, and an old woman with teary eyes and walking was very difficult.
When Shen Chen saw the old woman come out, he immediately pulled a stool for the old woman to sit down, and then quickly changed the herbs on the old woman's knees with the light outside. Then he took out a few herbs from his bag, explained a few words to the child, and hurried to the next one.
After Shen Chen saw everyone, the sky had gradually darkened. The group was also ready to go home.
Wen Bailing and the others looked back at Zihan who was following behind them, Zihan also looked at them, and then said embarrassedly: "My spiritual power is low, and I got separated with my senior sister and them, and I can't contact them, so I want to be with you, at least you can protect me, and I also know a little bit of medical skills, I can help Shen Gongzi."
Wen Bailing wanted to say something, but before she could say it, Shen Chen preemptively said, "It's okay, more than one person has more pairs of chopsticks, let's go." You can go to my house first, and now more and more people go to my place to see a doctor, and there are many times when I am too busy to be busy. ”
Not long after leaving, Shen Chen asked Wen Bailing with a shy face, "How old are the girls you there get married?"
Before Wen Bailing could speak, Zi Han preemptively said, "I know this, their heart painters can't marry."
Wen Bailing glanced at them and strode away.
Early the next morning
There are a lot of people who come to see the doctor today, early in the morning, Wen Bailing and Wen Bao are constantly grabbing medicine, and Shen Chen and Zihan are sitting in front of the clinic. Everyone was busy at noon, and they didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. Just when I was about to finish my work, I suddenly found that many medicinal materials were gone.
Shen Chen looked at it, and the money he earned was not enough to buy medicinal herbs. In the past, only he and Wen Bao were fine, but now he still has to maintain the expenses of this family.
While Shen Chen was sitting in front of the door worrying, Zi Han sat down and said, "When I was catching the Dryad, I passed by the mountain behind me, and I saw that there are many medicinal herbs that you lack here, maybe you can go there and dig up the medicinal herbs yourself."
Early the next morning, Shen Chen took Wen Bao to the mountain that Zihan said. It's just that the two of them have been up the mountain since early in the morning, and now that it is almost dark, they still haven't found any herbs. They now seriously suspect that they were tricked by Zihan's girl. The two had no choice but to go down the mountain, but after looking for a long time, they couldn't find a way down the mountain, but they walked into a village.
It's just that this village is very weird, and every house has lights on but no one is visible.
Shen Chen whispered to Wen Bao on the side: "This village is too quiet, you can't even hear the insects, we have to be careful." As soon as Shen Chen finished speaking, a group of villagers rushed out, shouting with weapons in their hands: "Fight monsters, everyone fight monsters." Soon the villagers surrounded Shen Chen and the others, and Shen Chen immediately took out the talisman seal and shouted: "Hurry like a law." After everyone was frozen by Shen Chen, suddenly an elderly man came out from behind the crowd and said, "Are you a Taoist priest?" So will you hunt demons? ”
Wen Bao on the side proudly introduced: "He is our famous demon hunter Shen Chen!"
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "I am the head of this village. Please unravel the villagers, they don't mean anything, it's just that our village is already scared of the monsters. ”
Then Shen Chen went to the village chief's house and stayed first. After a full meal, Wen Bao asked: "Village Chief, you are the monster you have here, what kind of monster is it, you can tell my young master, my young master is very good at catching demons."
As soon as the village chief heard what Bao said, he immediately told them about it
"I have to start talking about this from a year ago. A year ago, the children in our village disappeared inexplicably, and then someone said that there was a monster that ate children on this Aishan Mountain, and then the villagers picked up the guy and went up the mountain to find the monster. As a result, there were many people who went there at that time, but when they came back, there were less than twenty people. It seems that it was because we angered the youkai that time, and then the youkai set a maze for us. We can't get out, and we can't get in. Now even ordinary fever has become a fatal disease for us here. Even my daughter is still in bed with a fever and can't get up. ”
"I don't know if the village chief can let me see your daughter, I also know a little about medicine. Saying that it may not save your daughter. ”
When the village chief heard this, he immediately knelt down for Shen Chen and said, "I beg you, you must save my daughter."
Shen Chen looked at the village chief's daughter's illness, but it was not difficult to treat, but he came out to find medicine this time, so he naturally had to go to the mountain again to continue looking for herbs.
The next morning, Shen Chen took Wen Bao and continued to go up the mountain, and before leaving, the village chief gave him a portrait of the monster, which was called Jiudian Boy, with a green face and fangs, and a tongue that could spit out two meters long, feeding on the child's heart.
Wen Bao complained all the way: "Young Master, I know that you are a bodhisattva, but you said that this Wen girl is not here, in case the monsters in the mountains are really like what is said in this painting, then aren't we sent to death in vain?"
The two of them walked on the mountain for a long time, but they went around here and there, and they never went out at all.
Shen Chen said helplessly: "It seems that we should have encountered the Demon Maze, it should be some kind of trick or something."
Wen Bao heard Shen Chen say this, and in an instant, the whole person almost didn't jump directly onto Shen Chen. I kept shuddering and asking, "Young Master, what should we do now, that monster won't come to eat us, right?"
Shen Chen said helplessly: "Anyway, I can't get out of this horizontal and vertical position, so it's better to rest here." After speaking, he sat down under the tree.
Wen Bao took out the kettle and took a sip and then asked Shen Chen if he wanted to drink it, Shen Chen suddenly said with an idea: "By the way, water, Wen Bao, drink quickly, drink more."
Wen Bao looked at Shen Chen and said with a malicious expression, and in an instant, the whole person was blinded, thinking that he would not be possessed by demons. Shen Chen looked at Wen Bao who was in a daze and said impatiently: "I mean that after you drink the water, then there will be urine, right, and then you will pee here, so that we can naturally go out."
Wen Bao paused and said, "Oh! I know, the master used to say that what those demons are most afraid of is the urine of the child. Wen Bao smiled and immediately picked up the kettle and drank it. Wen Bao, who drank the water, burped and asked, "By the way, aren't you the same young master?" Why did you let me drink it? ”
Shen Chen smiled evilly and said, "I'm going to drink, then I'm the one who supports me now."
When the two of them finished picking herbs and were about to go down the mountain to the village, it was already dark. Just as they were walking on the way up the mountain before, suddenly the previous road was gone, and a private school was here.
Wen Bao said with a panicked face: "Young Master, we won't encounter any demonic formations again, I really can't pee now."
Just when Wen Bao was complaining, the lights suddenly turned on in the originally dark private school, and before the two of them could figure out what was going on, suddenly a man's voice came from behind them and asked, "It's so late, I don't know what the two of you are doing here?" After Wen Bao and Shen Chen were really taken aback, Shen Chen looked at the man in front of him carefully, and then looked at the shadow on the ground, and then patted his chest with confidence and said, "Tell me about you as a good person, what the hell are you pretending."
The man smiled and said respectfully, "Under the Xia, Murong Lin is the teacher of this private school. Since I scared the two of you, let's ask them to stay in my humble house for one night. It's getting so dark this day, and I think you two seem to be lost, so why don't you stay with me for one night, and tomorrow when it's dawn, you two will go down the mountain. ”
Shen Chen and Wen Bao were indeed tired from a day, and now they especially wanted to rest, and looked at the road again to see that it was indeed not the road they had walked on in the morning. So he agreed to stay with Murong Lin first.
After Shen Chen also Wen Bao stayed in the private school, Shen Chen looked at Wen Bao, who was already asleep and snoring, although he was also very sleepy and tired, he couldn't sleep. So he thought about going to the garden to walk around, but when he just went into the garden, he saw at least dozens of children lying on the ground. Suddenly, Murong Lin's voice sounded behind him, and he asked coldly, "It's late at night, I don't know why Shen Gongzi came here?"
Shen Chen asked with a frightened expression, "What's the matter with those children?" After saying that, he looked back at the children, only to find that the dozens of children who had just been lying on the ground had disappeared out of thin air.
Murong Lin, who was standing aside at this time, said coldly: "The obstacle method I set up in the mountain was originally just to make you retreat from the difficulty, who would have thought that you would actually break my obstacle and break into this mountain." They also saw my family and these children, so don't blame me for that. After saying that, he immediately changed into the appearance of the painting given by the village chief today. He spit out his tongue and wrapped it around Shen Chen's neck, intending to strangle him alive.
At this time, Wen Bao, who was originally sleeping in the house, slept on the ground in the wilderness. Wen Bao, who was awakened coldly, was also frightened when he saw everything in front of him, and at the same time found that Shen Chen, who was originally beside him, was also gone. Just as he was stunned, the drunken boy appeared behind him, only when his tongue was about to touch him. Wen Bailing and his party rushed over. The drunken boy saw that the situation was not good. He turned into a puff of black gas and fled.
