Chapter 154: Children with a Fever
Chapter 154: Children with a Fever
In this era, there were really few private cars, so Rongdi and they went to the nearest station and took a long-distance bus. It's not too much of a mess in the station, there are so many scalpers selling tickets, and all sorts of small vendors are walking around with snacks and snacks, and these people tell you to buy something from almost every person they see.
The current station is very strict, and I can't see such a situation anymore, in the eyes of Rong Di, a person in the future, this scene is quite fresh, and he still remembers that there is a similar scene in Jackie Chan's "Drunken Fist 2".
The buses of this era are not unmanned ticketing, the driver and the conductor are very good partners, they are often husband and wife, also called husband and wife stalls.
The petty traders also go to the car to make transactions, and it seems that they will pay whoever they want on time every month, in short, it is a partnership. It is common for the car to start and walk a few hundred meters before the vendor gets out of the car. (Anyway, Xiao Zai seems to have described a similar scene in "Women's Adventures in the Continent", but the book was blocked, and I was going to pick it up and publish it on other websites...... )
The long-distance bus they sat in was a sleeper car, which looked quite new and clean, and the windows on the car could be opened. It seems that the windows of the current long-distance buses are already sealed and cannot be opened.
Looking at the female conductor in front of her listening to the music on the radio, Rong Di couldn't help but say: "Grandma, in the later future, there will be a car TV in this kind of long-distance bus, and the horror movies that are usually played are ** over there."
"Really?" Bai Li said listlessly. She didn't like the bumps very much, she felt a little motion sickness, so she closed her eyes. As she slept, she tried to convince herself to overcome the sadness of parting.
Rosie was still very entangled in their relationship and asked, "Are you really her grandson?"
"I won't tell you!" Rong Di smiled in her grandmother's tone.
"Humph! Don't talk about pulling down! "This dude is tsundere.
In this era, people don't have mobile phones, and passengers on long-distance buses will chatter non-stop, unlike modern people who know that no one is staring at a mobile phone.
Rong Di liked this feeling very much, and as a bystander, he quietly watched this cherished sight, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
The advantage of traveling in the past world is that you can see people and things that you can't see now. "That's good." He couldn't help but say it.
As he spoke, he looked at his grandmother and muttered, "None of us should leave any regrets, this separation is the end of this time travel."
Rong Di looked at his grandmother and smiled faintly.
In Rossi's opinion, this is a doting smile, so what is their relationship?
After staying on the long-distance bus for more than eight hours, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon when Rong Di and the others came to Nancheng.
Rosie, a clever little ghost, arranged a double room for them, just to know the relationship between them! However, they chose to open an extra room...... Rosie felt that her head was not enough, weren't they old husbands and wives?
By the way, Rong Di's grandfather Rong Hao is still sleeping soundly under the bed. (laughs)
……
The station is very close to the hotel, and the rooms downstairs are snack bars selling food. The room in the hotel is not big, less than half of room 406 in the Rongdi Na Bai Ze Pavilion, and the white lime on the walls is newly painted, but it is not painted well, and you can see the traces of yellowing before. The bed is an iron frame bed, next to the window, and there are posters of celebrities who were very popular at this time on the wall, which is very much the atmosphere of this era. By the way, there is a wardrobe in this room that even the old Wang next door can't fit, there are not only new quilts and mattresses in it, but also a few healthy Seqing magazines, and the fruit girl on the cover is written in traditional Chinese, which is estimated to be Hong Kong goods. (Originally, I wanted to write about dragons, tigers, and leopards, but I don't know what year it was created...... Anyway, this book is actually a forbidden word, surprised)
Rong Di suddenly felt that this hotel was simply the conscience of the hotel industry, much better than those modern computer rooms. It's obviously a computer room.,But there's no AV in the computer.,Hmph╯^╰Bad review!
Leaving the belongings in the inn, the grandfather and grandson followed Rosie to see what was going on. This small town is not large, and the town is surrounded by some paddy fields, and it is a small township that is common in this era to mainly grow rice.
In front of you is a small river with crystal clear bottoms, and you can see many teenagers and adults swimming in the river. Walking across the stone bridge, there is a dirt road in the square leading to the town, and a few hundred meters further on is the cement road.
Telephone poles made of wood can also be seen on both sides of the road, which are supposed to be wires pulled by people themselves. Wires run in all directions, from the tiled roofs to under the trees. Some people also have an antenna stand for watching TV on the roof, and adults climb to the roof to adjust the angle and position of the antenna stand, while children watch the TV whether it is snowflakes or pictures...... The TV was playing the hottest show of the period - calling Kung Fu, which is now off the air.
These are both fresh and a little familiar to Rong Di, a future person. Rondi doesn't remember where the phrase came from - the old days are always good times.
He now understands the meaning of this sentence, the reason why the past is beautiful is because it is good only in the past.
Led by Rossi, the grandparents and grandchildren arrived at the hospital next to the square. The doctors and nurses here are busy coming and going, and no one is idle.
The dean, a man in a white coat with a Mediterranean hairstyle with a dangerous hairline, was talking to a strong uncle with a Chinese face, and they were seriously discussing the strange things that happened in the town.
As soon as they saw Rosie returning, they walked over quickly. "What about people? Is it please? The Mediterranean man asked.
"These two are ......," said Rosie, "This is Bai Li, and this is Rong Di."
The dean and the mayor both looked at the two men and women in front of them, who were supposed to be in a couple's relationship, and they ...... I'm too young.
"Did you hire the wrong person?" The mayor turned to Rosie and said, "Do they really have what it takes to solve the strange things that are happening in the town?"
Rosie felt a little embarrassed, he could at least feel the spiritual power flowing on Bai Li's two bodies, but the mayor of the town was an ordinary person, and he said...... They don't understand either.
"Let me introduce you to you, this is Dean Ma, this Mayor Niu." Rosie leaned over to Bai Li and said, "They are ordinary people, and many of the honorarium paid to you are given by the dean and the mayor of the town, can you show them your hands?"
Bai Li didn't like to be questioned by others about her abilities, she snorted, then pointed at Mayor Niu and said, "You, kidney deficiency!" That's a lot! ”
The atmosphere was very embarrassing for a while, whose face was not good-looking, especially Mayor Niu, the face of this product was about to catch up with Lord Bao.
Dean Ma coughed dryly and made a round, "Well, Mayor Niu has a wife, and the children are nine months old, so ......"
Mayor Niu's face was a little better, and he snorted angrily, this thing is probably also a tsundere.
"You can tell at a glance that Mayor Niu is not very healthy, you should be a doctor, right? But what happened in our town was so strange that the doctors had nothing to do with these patients! Dean Ma said, "Let's show you the patient's condition first."
Everyone came to a hospital room, and the beds were full of children with high fevers. Bai Li touched their foreheads, it was indeed terrifyingly hot.
Rong Di is also a doctor, and after taking the pulse of one of the children, he said, "It's just an ordinary fever, but it may also be a fever infection or something."
"Grandson, your cultivation is not enough." Bai Li lifted a girl's bangs and said, "Look here!"
Everyone looked at the girl's forehead, the dean and the mayor were ordinary people, so they naturally couldn't see anything special, and even Rosie only saw a vague mark. But Rong Di could clearly see that it was a small handprint.
"Handprints?" He spoke it out.
This mudra is no larger than a human thumb print, but it has a small five fingers. The sigil is black, and it also exudes a black ominous aura.
Rong Di looked at the other child, who also had a handprint on his forehead, but this one was larger, like a baby's handprint.
With a wave of her right hand, Bai Li waved out a few small paper figures of flying fish, and the little paper figures looked at the foreheads of these children one by one, and then turned back to her hands. "The kids here have handprints." She said.
The mayor and the dean were both ordinary people, and they were naturally startled when they saw the little paper figure flying. Rosie smiled slyly, "Didn't invite the wrong person, did you?" ”
Mayor Niu nodded like chopping garlic and asked, "Then may I ask the two masters, are these children evil?"
Bai Li didn't answer this question, but asked, "Please answer me, did these children start to have a fever at night?" And did the adults in the family see some 'dirty things'? ”
"The master is right." Dean Ma said, "My lord saw some strange figures."
Bai Li already had the answer in her heart from the time she saw the handprint, but she was not in a hurry to say it, but looked at her grandson and asked, "Do you know what the monster that is making trouble?"
The moment he saw the handprint, Bai Zezhi had already responded, and Rong Di also knew the answer. He blurted out, "Yes!"
"Huh?" The dean, the mayor, and Rosie didn't know what was going on.
Bai Li smiled slightly and said, "Grandson, tell them."
"Zhen is a kind of white-handed, black-bodyed, hideous-looking little demon, they are not tall, ranging from ten centimeters to half a meter. Legend has it that on the night of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the child suddenly cried and had a fever. That's what the hell is going on. After a few days, the fever will go away, but the brain will be burned out, and even the smartest child will become a demented fool. ”
"The ancients were afraid of harming their children, so they lit the lamps and sat still. Eight copper coins wrapped in red and put under the pillow can be scared away, people call this money "pressure money", "祟" and "year" homonym, slowly become the current "pressure money". ”
Rong Di said: "I think everyone in this town knows that this is the work of the monster, you can tell the people who have children in the house, let them put red envelopes under the children's pillows to scare away."
After listening to the story told by Rong Di, Mayor Niu was surprised and felt as if he had been deceived. He'd heard the story, but it was ...... It's true? However, when his brother's child had an accident, the adults in the family did say that they saw a small person.
Could it be that the legend is true?
Dean Ma was also a little skeptical of the story and asked, "Is this ...... Isn't it a myth or legend? Or is there really such a monster? ”
"You'll know when you do what I say." Rong Di laughed.
Seeing that her grandson was so happy, Bai Li asked, "What should I do with such a child who has a fever?"
"This mark can be expelled with pure spiritual power, grandma can be burned by fire, and I can heal them with the 'healing' of water." Rong Di's tone changed, "But doing so will waste a lot of our spiritual power, so let's use a red envelope under their pillows to ease the further development of the curse." ”
The grandfather and grandson seemed to think of a piece, and said in unison, "In the evening, let's go meet that kind of monster."
As he spoke, the two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
The Dean still didn't quite believe in this kind of myth, but they had no other way but to try to believe them. Moreover, from the tone of their voices, you can tell that they do have the ability to drive out those monsters!
