Chapter Twenty-Eight: Pills
I remember that Zhang Blind told me fortunes, and I could still start a family after the age of thirty, but I didn't expect it to be over now.
Suddenly, I felt a suction force that sent me down and I fell to the ground. I couldn't help coughing loudly, and Zhao Jie next to me said with a crying voice: "Great, little Taoist, you're not dead." ”
I felt my physical presence again, tickling all over my body. Zhao Jie followed the method I just did, and used a small wrench to drive away the insects, he wanted to return the wrench to me, I shook my head, he simply continued to wear it on his body, picked me up, picked up the flashlight, and ran to the top of the mountain.
Our bodies were already covered with the corpse of the grass crawlers, wet, and I felt that there were still a lot of grass crawlers crawling in my clothes, but I didn't have the strength to take care of them, I felt very heavy, up and down my body, not only itchy, but also hot.
I don't know how long, I finally reached the top of the mountain, where there are obviously fewer grass crawlers, Zhao Jie gasped for breath, estimated that he had no strength, sat down on the ground, and said to me: "We still have to go down the mountain." Then I was asked to turn sideways and slide down with him.
Fortunately, I wore a lot of clothes in winter, and the slopes were full of bushes and thorns, and my clothes were hung in tatters.
After about an hour, we finally arrived at the bottom of the mountain, at this time we were covered with mud and dust, and at this time many of our local people gathered at the bottom of the mountain, watching us come back in embarrassment, and hurriedly asked what was going on.
Zhao Jie didn't have time to explain, just asked them not to go up the mountain now, and then helped me, ran to the Taoist temple, rode the motorcycle he parked there, increased the accelerator, and rushed to Lao Zhangwan.
At this time, as soon as I was blown by the wind, I sobered up a lot and began to scratch at the grass that was left in my clothes.
After a while, we arrived at Lao Zhangwan, fortunately they haven't slept yet, there are lights in the room, we rode directly to the rice field, Zhao Jie shouted his cousin's name vigorously, cousin and cousin heard it, hurriedly opened the door and came out, seeing our embarrassed appearance, to lead us into the house. Zhao Jie hurriedly waved his hand and refused, shouting: "Cousin, sister-in-law, we don't have much time, you can lend us your saber." ”
When the cousin heard this, he entered the house, and Zhao Jie asked, "Do you want to talk to the blind cousin?" ”
My cousin said, "No, my old man is reasonable and fine." Just now, the people in the family came to inform us that there was a big trouble on the mountain, and asked every family, and the male laborers who could walk away to help, and we all fell asleep and got up again. I guess you're in big trouble. ”
As he spoke, he looked at me in the back row and hurriedly said, "Oh, why did the little Taoist priest do it like this." As he spoke, he wiped my face with a handkerchief, which was full of dirt.
"Little Taoist, no, you can stay in our house for one night at night, you don't want to be involved in their adult affairs." I shook my head, and Zhao Jie smiled: "The little Taoist priest has grown up now, if it wasn't for him just now, I wouldn't have died." ”
My cousin was surprised, and at this time, my cousin of the Zhang family brought the knife over, and I took it, only to see that it was a Japanese katana sword in the scabbard, but the sheath was rusty. I felt that the grass crawlers on my body seemed to be very afraid, so I hurriedly ran out and fell to the ground, and my cousin saw it, and while stepping on it, she said why there were so many grass crawlers.
Zhao Jie turned the motorcycle around and took me back, and my cousin shouted in the back, and he would go over to help later.
On the way, Zhao Jie suddenly said to me: "I'm sorry. ”
It was a very fast ride, and I couldn't hear it well.
When we came to the bottom of the mountain, the road up the mountain was already full of people, and I saw my father among them, and when he saw that we were so embarrassed, he hurriedly asked what was the matter.
Zhao Jie made a long story short, and talked about the night's events as he walked.
After listening to it, everyone was very angry, yesterday I heard that it was the ghost of the Japanese invaders, but I didn't expect that our Taoist priests would not buy it, and then wait for the male laborers of several families to come over, and everyone went up the mountain together, and there were many people who were not afraid of any ghosts.
My father wanted me to go home, but I refused, Zhao Jie praised me again by the way, and everyone also comforted the child that he would grow up after all.
In fact, our family system is quite fun, they all pay attention to family face, there are major events, every surname family has to be notified, you have to wait, you have to wait, if you don't wait, you look down on that family, when you encounter something, you can't go out, that's also a matter of losing family face.
Zhao Jie and I needed to go up the mountain immediately, and everyone said that four more Taoist priests from the city had just come, and after asking about the situation, they went up the mountain with a flashlight.
Zhao Jie said, we have to catch up quickly, those four are estimated to be Taoist priests sent for reinforcements, with them, we will easily cross the mountain, although there is a saber now, but after all, there is no bottom in our hearts. And I don't know where Daoist Chen and they are now.
On the way, Zhao Jie couldn't help but apologize to me, talking about the secret marriage.
My cousin of the Zhao family, often dreamed of Zhao Xiaoxue, dreamed of Xiaoxue crying, so she asked, but Zhao Xiaoxue was mute and couldn't speak, so my cousin went back to her parents' house and asked the fairy girl, and the fairy aunt said that Xiaoxue was in the underworld, not married, and dumb, no one married. The fairy girl came up with an idea to get married. The fairy girl asked if there was a suitable one near Zhao's house, and my cousin thought of me, who was about the same age, and then asked me to match my eight characters, and asked the fairy girl to match, and the fairy girl said that it was a perfect match.
So my cousin and uncle worked together to design for me to marry Xiaoxue.
It's strange to say, since then, my cousin has never dreamed of Xiaoxue again, and it is estimated that she should be able to be reincarnated.
I listened and touched my little thumb, the dent of the line had not yet disappeared, but the master had removed the secret marriage for me. Presumably Xiaoxue has really been reincarnated.
Zhao Jie has always blamed himself, saying that he shouldn't believe the words of the fairy girl, it was because he listened to her words before, he made Xiaoxue dumb, and now he has hurt you, in the final analysis, it is still his own fault.
Soon I came to the top of the mountain, only to see four people in white sock robes, standing on the top of the mountain, probably heard our movements, so they used a flashlight to shine over, seeing that I was also a Taoist priest, one of the men smiled and said: "Little Taoist, is there something wrong under this mountain?" ”
Before I could reply, the man exclaimed, "What a saber of evil." ”
He marveled at the saber, and I wondered if you could really see the evil spirit, or if you were just talking about it.
He asked if he could take it and take a look, I think they should be Taoist priests from the city who came to help, and I actually tried to pull out this saber just now, maybe because of the rust inside, I can't pull it out.
Then he handed him the saber, and he took it, and while looking at it carefully, he drew it out as if without any effort.
Under the light of the flashlight, the saber was rusty except for the handle, and the rest of the knife was like a mirror, revealing a cold light.
The Taoist priest asked the person next to him and said, "Senior sister, do you know what kind of knife this knife belongs to?" ”
A woman's voice replied: "This knife is the Muramasa knife, during World War II, most Japanese carried the Taidao version of the saber, the owner of this knife actually used the Muramasa demon knife, and may also understand the art of yin and yang." ”
Everyone sighed for a moment, and it seemed that they were all questions.
At this time, Qingtan Town at the foot of the mountain, where the fire was already bright, and not far from the street, there was already a sea of fire.
When the Taoist priests saw it, they handed me back the saber and said to me, "Little Taoist friend, it seems that the situation under the mountain is very bad, we have to hurry over." ”
Everyone was about to leave, but Zhao Jie hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, this mountain is full of grass crawlers, let's go down like this?" ”
When the Taoist priests heard this, they asked suspiciously, "Grass crawler?" ”
Zhao Jie said: "It's just a kind of worm that can climb people, and there are a lot of them in this mountain." ”
I guess the Taoist priests in the city have never seen what grass crawlers are, so they shine their flashlights on the ground, and after a while, they see one and call them to look.
The female Taoist friend said that it looked disgusting, and a person next to her stepped on it, leaving a little blood on the ground.
The female Taoist friend looked at it and said, "I saw that there were blood stains on your bodies just now, and I thought you were injured." I didn't expect it to be left behind. ”
I hurriedly took a picture of my body, my body was mostly dusty, and there were quite few blood stains, and it was estimated that when we slid down the mountain, all the mud was stained on our bodies, and then the riding wind blew, and most of them fell off, and a little blood stains, if you don't look carefully, you can't find it at night.
The female Taoist friend took out something on her body and distributed it to everyone. I took it and found that it was a pale yellow pill, the size of a soybean, and the female Taoist friend explained: "If you eat this thing, it can exude a fragrance on your body and can repel insects." Then we were told to take it, the pill itself smelled faintly vanilla, and after a while, we walked briskly down the hill together.
Just looking at the fire in Qingtan Town, I am afraid that the master will be more auspicious than lucky.
