Chapter 25: Lost Soul
Huzi ate the noodles cleanly, and the moon also poked his face. It was dark, and there was a curfew, so I couldn't do anything else. The two juniors drew water and wiped their faces, and then lay down. Xiao Jiugang was still saying that he was going to bed early, but when he lay down, he remembered something again: "Huzi, what are you doing today?" How long does it take to go out and come back like this? ”
Huzi was tired in his heart, and his body was even more tired. Now that he was stained with a pillow, his sleepiness kept surging up, so he said, "The head of the sect doesn't inquire, and the head of the class doesn't inquire either, what are you inquiring about?" Slept. Xiao Jiu turned over and kicked Huzi's calf: "Who do you call 'Xiao Broken Urge'!" If you don't talk about it, if you don't talk about it, you just want to sleep peacefully at night. ”
was annoyed by Xiao Jiu like this, and Huzi forcibly opened his eyelids and said, "Speak...... Speak...... You tiger master and I, I have done a big thing today! Xiao Jiu listened to the flat mouth: "Blow!" Just keep blowing you! ”
"Do you listen?" Huzi turned over and gave Xiao Jiuyi a back spine, "If you don't listen to me, you will sleep." Xiao Jiu reached out and grabbed Huzi's shoulders and turned him over halfway: "I'll listen, you say...... You say......" Huzi hehe, hey, continued to speak: "I went to that Zhang Daxian's house to deliver a letter, but I didn't want to cause a big trouble on my body, so I walked to the gate of the Hades Palace......"
Huzi likes to listen to books on weekdays, and when he has time to go into the city to play, he likes to climb into the courtyard wall of the teahouse to listen to a paragraph. If there are two children tucked in the belt, and they also go in to ask for a dish and a seat, now they are also talking about books. Say it's Mr. Bidna's storyteller? He doesn't have the kung fu skills of other people. But in the end, it is the life and death that he has walked through, and he talks about it with such a real energy. He is also a young man's temper, so he can't help but blow two sentences: that Chang Qiu asked him not to talk like the incarnation of a python, but like a real dragon descending to the mortal world. talked about himself again, Huzi didn't see the embarrassment at that time in his mouth, and said that he was like a god general and a heavenly soldier, killing a lot of immortals in the Soldiers and Horses!
Xiao Jiu listened attentively, listened and listened, but Huzi gradually lost his sound. "And then?" Xiao Jiu first asked, and then turned his head sideways to look - it turned out that Huzi was very tired, and when he spoke, he couldn't stand the upper and lower eyelids fighting, and he tilted his head and fell asleep. Although Xiao Jiu hadn't heard of it, he didn't want to wake up Huzi, so he reached out and pulled Huzi's quilt up, and he fell asleep.
But he slept for more than two hours, and it was in the middle of the night that Xiao Jiu was woken up by the tiger. Xiao Jiuping Suri sleeps alone, and his sleep is lighter, and he will wake up if there is any movement around him. However, the moaning sound in Huzi's mouth became louder and louder, and Xiao Jiu couldn't sleep soundly.
"Such a movement, have you had a spring dream!" Xiao Jiu scolded in a low voice and sat up, but he was stunned when he saw Huzi's appearance - the quilt covering his body was kicked off the ground by Huzi at some point, he grabbed the sheets with both hands, twisted his body, and squeezed out a not very transparent sound between his teeth.
Xiao Jiu thought that Huzi was not stunned, so he called Huzi twice, reached out and pushed Huzi's shoulder. As soon as his hand was put up, Xiao Jiu felt that something was wrong - his hands were hot! I touched Huzi's forehead again, and I felt that it was really hot!
Why did you start a fever for no reason? Thinking in his heart, Xiao Jiu Dahuzi turned over and got off the ground, touched the fire and lit the lamp. This photo shows that things are not small. Huzi's body is as red as a boiled shrimp, but his face is pale, his lips are slightly purple, and his body is still trembling, how do you look like a swing!
Xiao Jiu screamed a few more times, but he still didn't wake up Huzi, as if he was burned unconscious. It's a big deal! How many people left without making it through such a big hit. Xiao Jiu hurriedly picked up the quilt and covered Huzi back, then took the lamp and went downstairs to fetch water, turned back upstairs and put a towel on Huzi's head. To do this, there is no other way, so I am so anxious that I stomp my feet.
He tossed upstairs and downstairs like this, and he woke up others. After a while, a person pushed the door and entered the house: "Jiu'er, what time is it, why don't you sleep and toss?" "This person is seven feet tall, with wide ears and good facial features, and he is visiting the room in his clothes at night, and his waist is also straight. Xiao Jiuyi looked at this person, and his face was happy: "Uncle Liu, come and take a look." ”
Uncle Liu, whom Xiao Jiu called, is an artist in the troupe, named Liu Chun, and lives next door to Xiao Jiu. This person can do the art of massage, who is injured in the garden, and what bumps and bumps he has suffered while practicing, he can generally see it.
"What's wrong?" Liu Chun asked as he approached the edge of the bed, leaned down to probe, but was startled, "Burn like this!" Liu Chun straightened up and paced two steps in the room: "This government doesn't let us go out at night, how can we find Langzhong for him?" Hey, that's right! Xiao Jiu, go to the kitchen and get some wine! ”
When Xiao Jiu retrieved the wine, Liu Chun wiped it on the top of Huzi's head, under his ears, armpits, crooks of his legs, and the soles of his feet, and then re-soaked the towel and applied it to Huzi's forehead. After doing this, Liu Chun picked up the teapot on the table and shook it, heard the sound, poured out a small half cup, and slowly poured it down on Huzi's lips, wetting Huzi's lips and moistening them into Huzi's mouth little by little.
"That's it?" Xiao Jiu asked. Liu Chun thought for a while, put down the teacup and said, "It's over!" He burned like this, and he was still trembling, I am afraid that if this is not the case, we can only do our best and obey the destiny of heaven now. If you can subside the fever a little, when the morning dawns, you will immediately go to Lang Zhong for him. ”
"What if I can't get rid of the fever?" Xiao Jiu asked again. Liu Chun glared at him: "If you can't retreat and burn, just burn it for half a night, and a good person will have to be burned into a fool!" Then what else to save, dig a pit and bury it, and save yourself from living in the world and suffering. ”
Xiao Jiu shrunk his neck by Liu Chun's yell, and he didn't dare to say anything.
Liu Chun touched his chin and glanced at Xiao Jiu, and said, "You go to sleep in my room, I will guard this little cub, and there will be no big incident." Xiao Jiu shook his head when he heard this, and didn't move.
"Yes!" Liu Chun moved the chair to the side of the bed, pressed Xiao Jiu on the chair, pointed to his nose and said, "You are the master, you have the final say, I'll go back to sleep!" As I just wiped the wine, once in a quarter of an hour, the towel was in a quarter of an hour, and the water should not be in a hurry, otherwise it would be easy to choke to death, do you understand? ”
Xiao Jiu nodded. Liu Chun also nodded, didn't say anything more, and turned back to his room.
Just like this for half a night, Xiao Jiu tossed back and forth and didn't know how many times, and he really took care of it according to Liu Chun's words. Every time he changed the towel, Xiao Jiu called the tiger twice, but he never saw the tiger wake up.
As soon as the sky was polished, listening to the rooster's crowing, Xiao Jiu, who was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, suddenly came to his senses, grabbed his clothes and was about to rush out. bumped into a person head-on, it was Liu Chun, who was already dressed.
"What are you going to do?" Liu Chun pressed Xiao Jiu's head and asked, "Is that kid awake?" Xiao Jiu replied in a daze: "No." I ......"
"What are you," Liu Chun cut off Xiao Jiu's words, "You still have to stare at it if you don't wake up!" I'll go find Langzhong, and you guard him. Liu Chun went downstairs, and Xiao Jiu turned around and went back to the house.
When the rooster crows and the sun rises, many of the men are still in their dreams, and the pharmacy and medical hall have not yet opened. But this matter is life-threatening, Liu Chun slapped the door panel and woke up the guys in the hospital, and dragged the man from the bed in a daze. When I returned to the Drum Tower, Lang Zhong was also a little numb. It was said that he was suffering from a cold, but he never woke up, although he had a high fever that did not go away, his pulse was stable. No, Lang Zhong had to prescribe some antipyretic and fire-clearing medicines such as honeysuckle, bamboo ru and tangerine peel first, and instructed people to cook them slowly and take them. He also applied needles to Huzi's Quchi, Hegu, Waiguan and other acupuncture points, and tossed for a long time before it stopped.
However, after taking injections and medicine, Huzi still did not get any better, his eyes still couldn't open, and there were still some meaningless moans in his mouth.
"Mr. Peng is here!"
It was when everyone was at a loss that Class Master Chen, Chu Jiaoxi and Mr. Peng entered the house together. It turned out that the head of the Chen squad had already arranged for the little servant to go to the mountain to find Mr. Peng, and as soon as the city gate was opened, he went out of the city, and ran to Sun Mountain on horseback. As soon as he arrived at the mountain, Mr. Peng hurried over with a blanket on his back. Sun Mountain is not close to the county seat, and it is only at this hour to hurry up and hurry.
Mr. Peng didn't bother to say hello to the people in the house, and went straight to Huzi's side. Mr. Peng first opened Huzi's eyelids and looked at it, then pulled out the needle on Huzi's body, and then straightened Huzi's hand holding the sheet under him, and looked at it one by one. After reading it all, Mr. Peng frowned. He pressed the thumb of his left hand on the center of Huzi's eyebrows, closed his eyes himself, and took a long time to take it away.
"This kid isn't sick, I'm afraid he has lost his soul." Mr. Peng let out a long breath, shook his head, straightened up and said.
"Lost your soul?" Liu Chun asked puzzledly, "Aren't all young children frightened before they lose their souls?" The tigers are half the size! Besides, I've never seen it burn like this. ”
Mr. Peng thought for a while: "It's not an ordinary soul, it's his soul that was seriously injured and floated out little by little." It should be scattered with one soul and two souls...... Will he be able to speak to you when he came back yesterday? ”
"Yes!" Chu An said with special certainty, "When I went back to the Drum Tower last night, this kid was wrong, but he could still play haha with me, looking at his spirits." Xiao Jiu also rushed to speak: "He was talking to me last night, and he fell asleep while talking." ”
"Then Shuang Ling is the last to fall out...... Mr. Peng said, "there is no other way, call it a soul." ”
"What is that called!" Chu An spread his hands, "Brother Peng, Huzi can sleep honestly, if he doesn't answer himself, can he call back?" ”
Mr. Peng took out the red string of incense candles and some small bells from his coat, and said, "I am his master, he can't answer, and his soul has to listen to me, come back obediently!" ”
After a while, the table in the small nine room was cleared, and a yellow cloth was laid out as a temporary confession. A red rope is tied to the wrist of the tiger on one side and to the ear of the incense burner. Ten sticks of incense were burned in the censer, and three bells were placed not far in front of the censer. Mr. Peng stood in front of Huzi and pinched the trick.
"The three souls, one is the fetal light, the second is the cool spirit, and the third is the ghost, and they are answering in the body." As soon as Mr. Peng's voice fell, two sticks of incense in the incense burner were broken.
"Seven spirits are famous, one is a corpse dog, two is a monkey, three are a bird, four are a thief, five are non-poisonous, six are not poisonous, and seven are stinky lungs, and they are answering in the body." As he spoke, the incense in the incense burner was broken by five more branches.
Mr. Peng picked up a bell and shook it twice: "Cool and happy!" One of the incense sticks that was still burning in the incense burner broke off with this sound.
Mr. Peng nodded and picked up another bell: "The corpse dog is back!" "This time it was a little slower, but it was still an incense stick that burned and broke off.
Mr. Peng picked up the third bell: "Swallow the thief and return to the dead!" "This time I waited a little longer, but the last incense stick was folded in the incense burner as usual.
As soon as Mr. Peng put down the magic weapon, Xiao Jiu, who was guarding Huzi's bedside, immediately said, "Wake up!" The tiger is awake! ”
As soon as Huzi opened his eyes, Mr. Peng stepped over and pressed Huzi's temples on both sides: "Say three places." Huzi stared at him before he woke up, and when he heard this, he said: "The main gate of the Drum Tower, the South City Gate, and Zhang Daxian's house." ”
Mr. Peng let go of his hand and smiled slightly: "Huzi, you are in Zhang Daxian's house, you have met a wonderful ......"
