Chapter 60: Finding Peace
Last night, I followed the thief in red after she had swooped into the small passage at the back of the hall.
Once inside, she vanished.
But in the windowless room, I heard a man still crying, and although it was low, I could still tell that it was the cry of a child.
Just when I was about to find out where the voice came from, Liang Yuan made a phone call.
After a few brief words, I hung up the phone, and the crying stopped.
I didn't mind too much at first, thinking that the effect of the ghost black seed had not completely dissipated, so I heard a strange sound again.
But now that I think about it again, it is very likely that the voice came from Xiao Anning.
Standing in the hall at the moment, I was looking left and right.
Where is Xiao Anning, I am anxious.
Time is life, and if he continues to delay, he may really be in danger of his life.
Just as I was thinking, at this moment, my gaze suddenly fixed somewhere.
It was a cabinet in the corner, and when Steward Hu was leaving last night, he seemed to tell us that if we felt cold, we should take a quilt from the cabinet and cover it.
And yesterday I saw the thief in red, standing next to this cabinet for a while.
At that time, she had every chance of stuffing the kid in.
This cabinet is next to the little hallway, and if the child cries inside, I can definitely hear it in the windowless room inside.
I quickly stepped forward and pulled open the cabinet.
There was a quilt inside, and I pulled them all out with a few hulas, until the cabinet was empty, and I didn't find a little peace.
I stood up, feeling more and more mysterious.
Looking around again, at this moment, a chill hit me above my head, and the wind flickered on it, and when I looked up, I saw a black shadow "whoosh" and shook above me.
I recognized it, it was the cave bat again.
This time, instead of leaving, it circled back and forth in the space above me.
Seeing this, Tang Muzhou grabbed the stool on the side, and was about to hit the bat violently, but I quickly stopped him: "Tang Muzhou, don't move, I think this thing seems to have something to say to us." ”
Listening to my words, Tang Muzhou put down his stool.
We looked up at the bat, and it was still flying above us, round and round.
Its wings, very close to the top of my head.
A few times, it almost slapped me in the face.
We didn't speak, we didn't move, we just looked up at it.
Finally, the cave bat seemed to know something, and after barking at us, it leaned over and flew towards the wall on the other side of the altar.
As soon as I saw Tang Muzhou, I quickly followed.
The place where the mourning hall was laid before has now been removed, and now it is the tablet of the ancestors of the An family that is enshrined, and this bat just ran straight over, and its huge body was attached to the tablet in the middle.
Later, due to the uneven force, the plaque fell backwards and fell into the niche cage.
The plaque in the middle is the place where the respected old man in the family has placed it, and when he saw that the tablet was down, Tang Muzhou hurriedly brought a stool and put it on the table below, and then directly raised his leg and stepped on it.
I stood below and told Tang Muzhou to be careful.
The cave bat was about to bite, and the place where the ring finger of his left hand was bitten by it was now slightly numb, which showed that the medicinal effect of the ghost needle grass had passed.
If I don't control it anymore, soon, my palms and arms will become black like the blind man.
Tang Muzhou's hand reached the niche cage, and just when he left the ranks, I heard him suddenly "huh". When I heard this, my heart tightened.
The cave bat was attached to the tablet, could it be that Tang Muzhou was really bitten by it when he stretched out his hand just now?
Just thinking about it, Tang Muzhou looked down at me: "Tang Xiaofan, there is a secret compartment here!" ”
……
When Xiao Anning was carried out of the dark grid, he was still breathing.
His skin was dry, and his lips were dry like withered grass, which looked like signs of dehydration.
Seeing this, I went to the kitchen to find some sugar, mixed a large bowl of boiling water for An Ning, and when I left the kitchen, I glanced at something planted in the corner.
The shape of the thing looks a bit like a black wolfberry, and I picked one and put it in my nose and smelled it, but I faintly felt a pungent smell.
After returning to the hall, I fed the sugar water to Xiao Anning to drink.
Xiao Anning, who was relieved, ate a few pieces of osmanthus cake left over from yesterday,
I was relieved to see that his face was gradually flushing again.
After that, we carried him and ran up the east hill.
Back at Heishuitan, the fairy lady had stopped dancing, and she was pulling Steward Hu to talk to her.
When we passed, Shen Mengru had already collapsed to the ground, and after hearing the child's cry, she bounced up from the ground at once.
snatched the child from Tang Muzhou's hand, and her face was full of incredulity.
The feeling of being lost and regained is the happiest.
Shen Mengru hugged the child and kept kissing the child's face with tears.
It's a touching scene.
I looked back at the fairy lady again, she looked left and right, and took advantage of everyone's stunned efforts to retreat a little bit, as if she wanted to escape.
I made a color at Tang Muzhou, and he immediately understood.
I grabbed the woman's arm from the left and right directions with him, and pressed it directly against the stout old tree next to the pool.
What Tang Muzhou hated the most was this kind of goddess, and he looked at the woman hatefully: "Didn't you say that this child was taken away by the evil ghost in the pool?" Why did he come back again? ”
"The world is impermanent, and I ......"
The woman wanted to struggle, but her strength was simply not enough.
Tang Muzhou and I are a man, and the other is a female husband who picks a spoon every day, this goddess is a woman in her forties, and her little strength is not a problem at all.
"Less nonsense! Get the money out! ”
I pinched the woman's arm, and she screamed in pain, begging me to give her a way to live.
Tang Muzhou's eyes were red, he looked at the woman fixedly, and said vigorously: "For a lifetime, if you live by deceiving people, you are a moth, it is better to die!" ”
We held her like this until she agreed to withdraw the money, and then we let go of our hands.
When the goddess was leaving, she pointed to the black pool and continued to babble: "Whether you believe it or not, that evil ghost is under the water, he was unjustly killed, and after so many years, he is going to make his family unstable for the rest of his life!" ”
