Chapter 11: Wild 8
The clouds in the sky dissipated, and the surroundings suddenly became clear.
The rotten flesh that splashed on the ground was gone, and the plasma on Xu Ran's face was gone, except for the painful arms and waist, as if the experience just now was just a dream he had.
Li Wuyuan has actually stopped the transmission of spiritual power, after all, her Taoism is too shallow, and she can't bear it if she sends too much.
But she didn't want to get up a little, and still hugged Xu Ran closely.
She can't explain this mood herself, so she can only boil it down to being too lazy to move.
Xu Ran may know, or pretend not to know.
"You mean...... Wang Liang? Li Wuyuan's eyes were pure, like jewels piled up with moonlight in the night.
Xu Ran laughed: "Three sounds, 魍-魉-"
Li Wuyuan pinched him in the stomach.
Xu Ran just screamed in pain.
At this time, three people approached not far away, and Qi Lei, who was walking a little faster, was the first to see Li Wuyuan and Xu Ran lying side by side on the ground, and for some reason he had the urge to cover his eyes.
On the side, Zhang Siyang followed out breathlessly, looked at it, and twitched his cheeks:
", pay attention to the folk customs in broad daylight!"
Xu Ran sat up holding his stomach, his face was still bloodless, and glanced at the three of them: "What about the little monster, you caught it?" ”
Qi Lei and Shi Changsheng seemed to have experienced a major sensory impact, and they couldn't say anything at this time, only looked at Zhang Siyang one after another.
Zhang Siyang's face was not very good, and he took out his dry pipe again, and said while lighting a cigarette:
"Where is it so easy? running like a rabbit, the young people can't catch up, and look at what I'm doing with this half-legged half-old man straddling the coffin. ”
Qi Lei's face was hot, and he hesitated: "I'm sorry, I was really scared just now......"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, it's the same for anyone who meets it for the first time."
Xu Ran stood up from the ground, Li Wuyuan helped to help, but the pain in his waist did not decrease, it can be said that Fan Xiaoer didn't do anything to him, but was beaten by his own people.
"That little thing doesn't have to be chased, it's innocent."
"What?" Zhang Siyang glared at him with a cigarette holder.
Xu Ran glanced at Shi Changsheng, who was following at the end, and said meaningfully:
"Mr. Shi, it's not early, we still have some business to deal with, you have seen today's situation, some things do exist, Shi Cheng is home alone, you'd better go home and have a look first."
Shi Changsheng nodded hurriedly.
Xu Ran said again: "Today, when you see something, it's best not to go back and spread it around, everything has a cause and an effect, saying too much means knowing too much, and it is not good that one day in the future, the threshold of your family will be visited by the Lord." ”
Shi Changsheng nodded again crampedly: "Yes, yes, I know!" ”
When the people were far away, Zhang Siyang glanced at Xu Ran with the whites of his eyes: "Bluff, Lao Tzu is not uncommon to listen to your little, let's touch the blind yourself." ”
As he spoke, he walked towards the village with his cigarette behind his back and his hands.
"Dao Chief, please stay for a step first."
Li Wuyuan was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he stared at Xu Ran inexplicably.
Zhang Siyang's face was very good, but he tried not to show that triumphant look when he twisted his face.
"What do you call me?"
Xu Ran really didn't want to call him a long man with a clear conscience, so he skipped this question directly.
"I just saw Fan Xiaoer, he has turned into a wild ghost, he has no mind, he will only listen to his own desires. For more than half a month, he has been looking for an opportunity to borrow the bodies of the children who come and go home, and every time the little monster named Monster imitates his voice, the purpose is to remind the children. ”
Qi Lei's tone was full of uneasiness: "But...... The children are all hurt. ”
Li Wuyuan seemed to be unaccustomed to his stupidity, and said disdainfully: "They all hurt their feet, think about it, how can a person continue to walk if his foot is injured?" ”
Xu Ran nodded: "Although the method of the dragon is not up to standard, this is indeed the most feasible way it can do." These children are injured, adults will come to pick them up in person, the yang energy of ordinary adult men is very heavy, Fan Xiaoer did not dare to take the opportunity to get on again, so he had to give up temporarily and wait for the next opportunity. ”
Li Wuyuan: "What about your masculinity just now?" ”
Xu Ran pursed his lips and glanced at her silently.
Qi Lei is afraid that he can't accept so much in one day, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known that there was still such a species in this world.
He muttered in a low voice, "So to speak...... Is that sprite secretly protecting those children? ”
Xu Ran: "So to speak. ”
Zhang Siyang looked at Xu Ran's eyebrows, there was no black qi possessed by ghosts, and he didn't know that Li Wuyuan had already crossed the aura for him, and his expression was quite impatient:
"So what's the matter with all that? Shouldn't you be scared by the ghost doll to pee your pants, and want to buy my Lao Zhang's spirit rune, right? ”
Xu Ran was about to speak, but before he could make a sound, he let out a long sigh:
"I remember, my talisman can wholesale a pile of waste paper for five cents, where can people see it?"
Xu Ran suppressed his bulging brain and squeezed out a smile: "The previous things were all misunderstandings, and I just said casually, don't take it to heart." Besides, I'm not trying to buy a talisman from you, I'm just looking for a favor from you. ”
Zhang Siyang jumped up with a few white-bearded eyebrows, and his voice rose: "What is it?" ”
Li Wuyuan's five fingers were tightened, his hands were clenched into fists, and he was almost about to jump up and punch him in the face, but he was secretly pulled by Xu Ran.
"You old ......"
But Xu Ran was still a little late to cover her mouth.
Zhang Siyang pointed at her with a cigarette pipe: "You stinky girl, what are you scolding me?" ”
"She has a big tongue! In fact, it's about how strong you are, and you're still so tough at your age! Xu Ran said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Siyang's pipe smashed down on his head.
"Who do you say is this age? Lao Tzu is only fifty-seven! ”
"I said myself, I can't speak at such an age!" Xu Ran pulled Li Wuyuan back, touched his reddened forehead, and then laughed:
"Are you deflated now?"
Zhang Siyang saw that this kid was admitting his mistake, so he snorted coldly like an old man, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Say, what's the matter with me?" ”
Seeing that his attitude was relaxed, Xu Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the big hand on Li Wuyuan's shoulder was lightly squeezed, signaling her not to be impulsive.
"Fan Xiaoer has lost his humanity and reason, I want you to help him get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible."
As soon as Zhang Siyang heard this, his eyes rolled for a long time, and he touched the pipe and said:
"This ...... It's easy to say, if you say it, you can do it, if you say it's excessive, it's overdue, so isn't it as simple as lifting your pants and? ”
Xu Ran frowned, but chose to follow him for the time being.
"It's not rough. But since the villagers and neighbors call you a chief, and Shi Changsheng specially invited you to his house to expel the evil spirits, then I think it shouldn't be too difficult for you to do too much,—— of course, if you find it troublesome, we can do rough work such as setting up altars for you, and the money will be paid by the mayor. ”
He paved all the steps, which could not only make the other party famous but also not have any financial resources, Zhang Siyang had no reason to refuse.
"Isn't that just trouble?" Zhang Siyang glanced at him, and sure enough, he got off the donkey down the slope, "I have to fast and bathe, I don't have any leisure!" ”
When he finished complaining, he pretended to touch his stubble again.
"But...... Since it is for the sake of the common people and for the protection of the children, you invite me so sincerely, I can't say it if I don't agree......"
"Yes,"
Xu Ran lowered his eyes and smiled, and the unpretentious smile made the corners of his eyes and eyebrows vivid, "Then it's decided?" ”
Zhang Siyang raised his chin unruly for a while and looked at him: "The mayor of the town pays for it?" ”
Xu Ran: "The mayor of the town pays for it." ”
Zhang Siyang asked again: "Do you contribute?" ”
Xu Ran replied with a smile: "We will contribute." ”
"But fasting and bathing and reading the scriptures by heart, so you have to prepare for a few days."
"Yes, Fan Xiaoer's vitality is greatly injured, and the ladder is blocked again, so he can't hurt anyone in the past few days. When you're ready, you can contact Reviver one day in advance, and we'll come back then. In Li Wuyuan's imagination, Xu Ran's good temper in this life has been used today.
"That's it." Zhang Siyang agreed with great difficulty.
Li Wuyuan was angry when he saw him, if it weren't for Xu Ran beside him, I'm afraid he would have been clawed a long time ago.
After the three parted ways with Zhang Siyang, they went down the mountain.
Along the way, each has its own merits and looks, and Qi Lei's three views seem to have been greatly impacted, and his soul is not guarded; Xu Ran's fractured right hand was simply bandaged and hung around his neck, and his left hand rubbed his waist; Li Wuyuan was a little listless for some reason, walking at the back step by step.
Xu Ran glanced back at her from time to time, and when he was about to arrive at the guest house, that is, when he turned back for the thirteenth time, Li Wuyuan in his sight suddenly softened.
At the moment of falling, the clothes were piled up on the ground, and when Xu Ran ran up to check, he only saw a white cat sleeping with squinting eyes.
"Dead cat, you should have been a little more restrained just now......"
Xu Ran touched her head, and for some reason, as if he had found the little strength left in that warm little body, he instantly knew everything in his heart.
He sighed softly and scooped up his clothes and white cat with one hand.
thought that this was already the worst ending, but he got up and turned his head, and saw that Qi Lei's eyes were as wide as copper bells, staring at the cat in his arms tightly, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
“……”
Xu Ran subconsciously had a headache and wanted to pinch the bridge of his nose, but he found that there was no extra hand.
Three quarters of an hour later.
When Xu Ran, who had finished taking a shower, wiped his wet hair and returned to the room, he saw that Qi Lei hadn't left yet, staring motionlessly at Li Wuyuan who was curled up on the bed with his two eyes.
"She's really a cat......"
Qi Lei whispered, couldn't help but stretch out his index finger and gently poke Li Wuyuan's pink nose.
Xu Ran frowned, opened his mouth and seemed to want to stop it, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was sick.
He glanced at Qi Lei, hung the towel aside, and sat down on the bed.
"Hey! You tap! Qi Lei almost admonished Xu Ran with a breath.
Xu Ran was stunned, glanced at him and said, "What's the hurry?" She slept like a dead pig and couldn't wake up. ”
After hearing this, Qi Lei muttered to himself: "Really? ”
He lowered his head, and couldn't help but gently touch Li Wuyuan's head, and gradually heard the white cat let out a slight comfortable purr, and couldn't help laughing:
"It's amazing......"
Xu Ran stared at his hand back and forth for a moment, and finally felt a little irritable.
"Have you touched enough?"
Qi Lei was stunned for a moment and looked up at him.
Xu Ran turned his face away, rubbed his hair, and said in a slightly stiff tone: "I'm sorry, I'm going to sleep, can you go?" ”
