Chapter 6: The Ghost Baby Emerges
When I returned home, there was no sign of my parents, so it was obvious that they had gone to work in the fields.
It's a futian day, and the weather is unbearably hot, not to mention doing physical work, even if you walk a few steps, you have to sweat.
Of course, a freak like Senior Brother is not among them, and he seems to have passed through the seasons. The thick robe was wrapped around the body, and it didn't feel hot.
Although my brother and I only went to Beiquan in the afternoon, it took less than an hour to go back and forth. At this time, it is less than three o'clock in the afternoon, which is the hottest time of the day.
But even in such bad weather, the peasants who rely on the land to eat do not dare to slack off, no wonder the ancients had the feeling of "who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard".
Thinking of my parents sweating in the fields and being children, of course I feel distressed and ashamed.
I wanted to go to the field to help my parents, but it was not good to leave my senior brother at home alone, so I was absent-minded for a while, pacing back and forth in the courtyard.
"Jiang Ling, I shouldn't have said much, you should know that you are not an ordinary person, but what I want to say is that the road you have to take in the future is very difficult, even nine deaths, and your parents ......"
"Don't worry, senior brother, I won't tell my parents about tonight."
I guessed what my senior brother was going to say, and immediately opened my mouth to reassure him, I am an adult, and although I have achieved nothing, I also know how to report good news and not bad news.
My mother is worried, and I must not let them worry about me anymore, and besides, telling them this will only add to their troubles, and it will not do them any good.
When my parents came back, the sun had set, and my brother and I helped my mother cook dinner together, and my mother was happy, and there was a burst of laughter in the kitchen.
After eating and chatting with my dad casually, my brother and I went back to my room and waited for midnight to come.
But it's really early, so I propose to get some sleep and recharge my energy, after all, the ghost baby mother-in-law is not an idle person when she hears her name.
But my brother told me to leave him alone, and he himself sat on a chair and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
I was a little sleepy, so I lay down on the kang and fell asleep after a while.
At three o'clock in the night, my brother woke me up, and the two of them tiptoed out of the door in the dark and walked towards Beiquan.
On a sunny day in the middle of summer, there is no cloud in the night sky, only a big and round moon hangs, and the moonlight is sprinkled all over the earth, and the surrounding scenery can be seen very clearly.
But in the face of the late night, people instinctively have fear, not to mention that they are about to face the supernatural ghosts, along the way I trembled, looking around, and the pride of the day disappeared all at once.
Soon, my senior brother and I approached Beiquan, imagining the upcoming ghost baby mother-in-law and the little ghost she raised, my heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, and I hurriedly nervously looked around, but I was afraid that I really saw something.
But at this time, the senior brother had his hands behind his back, looking calm and light, and he didn't care about himself.
I thought to myself:
"Big brother, we're here to catch ghosts, not to admire the moon, you look like you, you're almost chanting a poem to the moon."
At this time, the senior brother's robe was still fluttering in the wind, making his temperament more like a poet.
But the way he looks also eases my nervousness, and my heart doesn't beat so fast.
I meditated in my heart:
"Although tonight is my brother's home field, I should be calm, at least don't be scared and ugly, after all, my brother is not a few years older than me, so don't be looked down on by him."
"Dao robe?"
It suddenly occurred to me that my brother was a Taoist priest, but why didn't he bring any weapons, and those Taoist priests on TV, whether they hunted ghosts or subdued zombies, had to use a lot of weapons, and he should at least take a peachwood sword, at least respect tonight's actions.
"Senior brother, don't you have a weapon?"
I asked him in a whisper, afraid of waking up something around me.
"You're talking about magic weapons, I don't need it tonight, and besides, I didn't bring it with me in a hurry this time."
I also remembered that my brother first appeared at my door in the morning, and indeed he only carried a yellow cloth bag, and the master asked him to pass it on to me. He can hide a few pieces of rune paper at most, where can he still hold any peach wood swords and the like.
Thinking of that yellow cloth bag, I have been thinking about the ghost baby mother-in-law today, I actually forgot to open it to see, and hurriedly asked my senior brother at this moment:
"What did the master leave me? Isn't it ......"
Before I finished my words, there was a sudden gust of wind around me, and what was even worse was... There was also the sound of a baby giggling mixed in, especially on this quiet midnight.
I shuddered, quickly shut up, and found that we had arrived at Beiquan, so I quickly stopped.
I suspect this must be a trick by the old witch, who is going to give us a trick before she shows up.
So while cautiously guarding the surroundings, he waited for the senior brother to deal with it.
Although I had been fully mentally prepared before, at this time, the heart that had just been calmed down was about to pop out of my throat again involuntarily.
Looking at the senior brother next to him, there was still no movement, with a posture of "although the oil cylinder is down, the figure eight steps are not chaotic", the corners of his mouth are still slightly upturned, and he seems to be a little disdainful.
"Humph! The little Taoist priest is not small, but you deliberately spoil my good deeds, if you don't kill you, it will be difficult to calm the anger in my heart, after killing you, I will take out your three souls and seven spirits, and torture you in every way, to see if you can still be so calm and calm at that time, hahaha......"
The ghost baby mother-in-law seemed to see that her dismount was in vain, and the senior brother was not afraid at all, so he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and after speaking fiercely, he let out a few creepy laughs.
"Good baby, go clean up the bull's nose trail below, oh, and the kid next to him will also be killed."
The ghost baby mother-in-law gave an order to her ghost baby, and she was confident.
Although the phrase "by the way" is very similar to buy one get one free, which negates all my value, as soon as this statement came out, my fear value instantly reached its peak, and my legs trembled uncontrollably.
She only said that she wanted to kill my brother and smoke my brother's soul, and she didn't mention me at all, so although I was scared, it didn't reach such an extent.
At this time, the yin wind was strange, and a black cloud floated from nowhere in the sky, covering the bright moon impartially, blocking the moonlight.
It was pitch black all of a sudden, I couldn't see my fingers, and the senior brother who was close at hand also disappeared from my field of vision.
I really want to scold the sky, "Your uncle!" But I heard the sound of rustling around me, suddenly on the left, suddenly on the right, for a while the sound was very loud, I felt close to me, and then there was no sound.
The sound lasted for about ten seconds, and I was a little overwhelmed, and I really couldn't stand it.
It's like someone holding a pistol with the muzzle of the gun aimed at your head, pretending to shoot, but always stopping at the end, it's really not as happy as asking for a small life all at once.
Just when I couldn't stand this torture and was about to shout out to my senior brother, the black cloud in the sky suddenly moved away, the wind around me stopped, and the white moonlight poured down again, illuminating the surroundings.
I also saw a scene in front of my eyes that made my eyes jaw-dropping.
I saw that the senior brother's left hand was still behind his back, and his right hand was holding the sword and pointing forward, and the robe on his body was windless and automatic, and it was the shape of a poet.
And in front of him, a baby the size of a domestic cat, dressed in a bright red shroud, lay in the air like a monkey, grinning at his senior brother.
I knew that this must be the little ghost raised by the ghost baby mother-in-law, and I was scared and curious, and I couldn't help but look at it.
I saw that this little ghost's face was pale, his eyes were red, and when he grinned, he showed two rows of uneven fangs, shining with cold light under the moonlight, and his mouth kept making "babbling" screams, his expression was very angry, and he jumped up in the air from time to time to bite his brother's fingers.
But no matter how he jumped, every time he approached his brother's fingers, he was bounced back, as if he had been smashed back by an invisible sledgehammer.
But this little thing has a very stubborn temper, and is knocked down again and again, and gets up again and again, and then jumps up again without thinking, and his spirit is really commendable.
The two fingers of the senior brother, as if borrowed from the Buddha, did not move at all. I looked at him with adoration in my eyes, and I almost bowed down to him.
Seeing that the little ghost had been subdued by the senior brother, but the ghost baby mother-in-law still didn't show up, I thought to myself: It seems that the powerful character always appears last, I'm afraid it was just the prologue just now, and then the beginning of the show.
