Chapter 24: The Worm Falls

The next day, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, I freshened up and was about to go to Uncle Hong and Uncle Xingguo to pay New Year's greetings, but when I walked into the hall, I found that there was no one.

Yesterday I put the Chinese New Year's Eve meal in front of my grandfather, uncle and my mother's spiritual seat, but I didn't expect that after a night there would be a swishing taste, and the wine became light and tasteless, I was very happy in my heart, should be Uncle Hong told me, the rapid deterioration of the food offered means that it has been enjoyed, that is to say, at least my uncle has used this Chinese New Year's Eve meal, because my mother died early, I don't know if it has been reincarnated.

Strange to say, since my grandfather and uncle died, I have never sensed my grandfather's yin spirit, but my uncle will come out to help me when I am in danger, has my grandfather already gone to reincarnate? I don't know, I have the opportunity to ask Uncle Hong. After changing the food offered, I re-applied a few sticks of incense, paid a New Year's greeting to my grandfather, uncle and my mother, and then went back to Uncle Hong's house.

They still haven't gotten up, I think it's a little strange, Uncle Hong is used to getting up at 7 o'clock in the morning, why is he lying in bed today, but I think it may be that he drank two more glasses last night, and the Gu on his body hasn't been pulled out yet, so let him sleep more. I wanted to cook some rice noodles first, and when they got up, they could eat hot food, but when I passed the door of the room where Uncle Xingguo's family lived, I heard a weak voice coming from the back room.

I tentatively asked two questions: "Uncle Xingguo?" Auntie? No one answered me, until I heard Sayuri screaming, I hurriedly asked Sayuri what was wrong, and heard her "knock knock" running over to open the door, with a panicked face: "What do you think happened to Mom and Dad?" I looked inside, Uncle Xingguo and his family were still lying on the bed, but I couldn't see the light in the back room very clearly, so I hurriedly went in to prop up the window, and I was stunned as soon as the light came in.

Uncle Xingguo and his family were lying on the bed, their eyes were wide open, their mouths were open and drooling out, and there were many sores the size of soybeans on their faces, necks and arms, some of which had been scratched and had snot like thick water. There was also a stench in the room, and as soon as I opened the window, flies came in, so I quickly lowered the window again. Isn't this some kind of skin disease? I have to call Uncle Hong up quickly.

I ran upstairs to the door of Uncle Hong's room and knocked twice, but no one answered me, I thought it was bad and quickly pushed the door in, Uncle Hong was sitting cross-legged on the bed, his face and arms were also covered with that kind of abscess, but he was in good spirits. I hurriedly asked Uncle Hong what was going on, and Uncle Hong said in a hoarse voice, "I've been fooled." "I hurriedly told him about the situation of Uncle Xingguo and his family, but Sayuri and I were fine, Uncle Hong thought about it and told me to hurry up to the kitchen to see if there was anything wrong with last night's meal. I hurried downstairs.

Fortunately, last night's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten for a long time, and the meals were taken to the kitchen and not cleaned up, which was originally kept for today, which is also a custom, meaning that there is more than every year. I quickly took a pair of chopsticks to pick up those plates of dishes, I immediately found the plate of fried bacon with chili peppers and green onions, I didn't eat this dish because the bacon tasted too strong, it is estimated that Sayuri did not eat it, it should be a problem with this dish.

There was a large ham that had been cut off on the ceiling beam of the kitchen, and I was shocked: "Isn't this what my uncle brought when he came to visit relatives before?" "Because Uncle Hong wanted to discuss with Uncle Hong before, let Sayuri be the next generation of Gu girls, Uncle Hong didn't agree, and finally Uncle Hong gave Uncle Hong a Gu when he left, so that Uncle Hong has been greatly injured until now and has not replied to Lisuo, I didn't expect that the specialty smoked ham he brought was also Gu in it, this is still a relative! It's chilling.

I quickly poured the leftovers into a bamboo jar, took the ham down, wrapped it tightly in old newspapers and rags, and threw them all into the vat outside the door that was not used. Then I hurriedly told Uncle Hong about my findings and speculations, and Uncle Hong was very angry when he heard it, and at the same time very glad that Sayuri was fine. I asked Uncle Hong if this Gu could be unraveled, and Uncle Hong motioned for me to come to him, and he said in my ear: "Go and call that bull's nose!" After speaking, Uncle Hong fainted on the bed.

I hurriedly ran downstairs, pulled Sayuri and said, "Your parents, mother, and grandfather have a strange disease, I want to hurry to Shimenba Village on the other side of the county to ask the doctor to come and treat them, you take good care of them at home, and eat the leftover baba from yesterday when you are hungry." Sayuri looked very worried and nodded at me.

I took a large handful of wormwood from my house next door, lit it, put it in the basin and burned it and brought it into Uncle Xingguo's room, because I used to see my grandfather smoke the house with wormwood, saying that it was to drive away evil spirits and insects. After getting these things done, I hurriedly went out, saw Uncle Xingguo's small truck at the door, and thought to myself, why can't I drive, otherwise how much life-saving time would have to be saved, but fortunately, when I walked to the entrance of the village, I bumped into Li Dafu, who was driving a donkey cart with his wife. After I gave him a New Year's greeting, I learned that he was going to take his wife back to his parents' house to pay New Year's greetings.

Uncle Dafu saw me in a hurry and asked me why I was going, I thought that I couldn't talk nonsense about Gu, so I said that I was going to the county seat to make up for some New Year's goods, and Uncle Dafu didn't ask more.

It may be that after the New Year, I was transferred, after saying goodbye to Li Dafu and his family in Hongyan Shangzhai, I met a few classmates from the next class, I was also at the same table, they were riding motorcycles and were ready to go to the county to play, I just said that I had something urgent and hoped that they would take me into the county.

I sat behind the card, he asked me what was going to the county seat, I didn't dare to tell the truth, just said that I was going to do some more New Year's goods, this year's winter vacation is long, and you don't have to trouble buying more at a time. When I arrived at the county seat, I was about to get out of the car, let the card pull me up, I asked him what was wrong, he said hesitantly: "My mother has a strange disease, it's nothing just a dream talk, my father is busy and doesn't take it seriously, I'm a little worried, can you ask your master Uncle Hong to help take a look?" ”

I thought to myself that there was something urgent, but this dream talk didn't mean anything at all, and nine out of ten sick people in the village thought they had fallen into an evil spirit, but in the end there was nothing wrong. So I immediately patted my chest and told Jeanka that it was on me, and Jeanka was very happy and let me have nothing to do with him.

The atmosphere of the New Year in the county is very strong, the streets and alleys are full of people, and when I pass by the market, it is really difficult, it is simply overcrowded. After walking through this market for a while, I can walk to the road to Shimenba Village, I am very anxious, I wish I had the kung fu of flying eaves and walking on the wall, but at this moment I felt that a figure in the crowd was very familiar to me, and when I looked closely, I found that it was the son of Old Man Hu - the little boy in the sea soul shirt, he was reaching his nose to smell the grilled fish stall next to him.

I hurriedly whispered a psychic spell, and the little boy suddenly turned his head to look at me, and I silently said in my heart: "Take me to your father, there is an emergency!" Next time, my brother will give you candy to eat! The little boy seemed to hear what I was thinking, and immediately appeared in a flash at the mouth of an alley in front of me, and I quickly followed. He took me left and right, and finally found Old Man Hu in an alley.

Old man Hu was sitting there eating melon seeds, and a small table was set up in front of him, and the yellow table paper on the table was written on the look-a-looking, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, and marriage, and there were also paper, pen, teapots, and a sticker on the table. I hurriedly stepped forward and made my intentions clear. I never thought that Old Man Hu would laugh after hearing this: "Hahaha! This old thing is really capsized in the gutter, and he has been hit by one Gu after another! However, seeing that my face was not good, he quickly coughed twice and asked them what their specific symptoms were, and I answered truthfully.

"This doesn't sound like Gu art, it's a bit like a descending ...... in the Southeast Regions," Old Man Hu said to himself, and then he asked me to hurry to the market to buy two big roosters, and then buy two catties of glutinous rice, and then go to the county seat to wait for him on the road back to Heishi Village, he wants to go home and get something. I hastened to comply.

I waited on the side of the road for two hours with chicken and glutinous rice, and suddenly I was greeted by a red car, which I knew, it was Boss Wu's car Santana, but this car was red and very eye-catching. I was looking at the car and was distracted, but it stopped beside me, and when the window rolled down, I saw that it was Old Man Hu, and he probed and said, "What are you still stunned about, silly boy?" Why don't you get in the car quickly, don't want to save your master? "I just got in the car in a hurry.

Old man Hu said that the chicken and glutinous rice can be put on the back seat, and you don't need to take it later, so I asked: "You don't need to take it, what spell do you use to save people?" Old man Hu smiled and said, "Who said I was going to cast spells with these things?" Even if you want to use it, don't you have it in your village? These are my New Year's goods! "I wanted to let this old man put it on the table, but now I am begging him to save people, and if he suffers, he will suffer.

When I arrived at the door of Uncle Hong's house, Old Man Hu stood in front of the door as soon as he got out of the car, and he seemed to be quite emotional, so I beckoned him to hurry in and see how it was. Sayuri ran out crying and said, "Brother! Mom and Dad have a lot of blood on them! I quickly followed.

Old man Hu looked at Uncle Xingguo and his aunt, then ran up to the second floor and looked at Uncle Hong again, he took a small plate, took out a nail clipper and cut a thick bag on Uncle Hong's arm, and then picked up the thick water inside to the plate and went downstairs. I hurriedly followed him and asked what was going on, but Old Man Hu just asked me to bring a basin of water in a big bowl.

Old man Hu poured all the thick water from the plate into the big bowl, and then carefully observed it on the side. I saw that the thick water melted into the clear water and slowly dissolved, and a lot of small black insects appeared, and their little legs were still moving, looking a bit like ladybugs, but they were only the size of millet.

Old man Hu sighed solemnly and said, "As the old man expected, this is the head descending technique, and it is an insect descending!" Within three days, these insects will devour people's flesh and blood, continue to multiply, and eventually eat people completely! ”
