The horse soldier hurriedly ran to his grandfather and said in horror, "My mother...... My mother ......."

Grandpa stretched out his hand and patted the horse soldier on the back twice, and the horse soldier came to his senses and said, "My mother has a strange disease." Go and help out. ”

Grandpa said lightly: "When you are sick, go to the doctor, what are you looking for me?" I don't know how to heal. ”

The horse soldier was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "My mother has a strange disease, she is not breathing!" ”

"No breathing? You mean she's dead? When the grandfather heard this, he immediately pulled the corner of the horseman's clothes and went to the house of the short mother-in-law.

The horse soldier dragged his grandfather, waving his hands wildly, and he didn't know how to explain: "My mother...... My mother...... She didn't die. ”

"Not dead? How do you say she's not breathing? You're kidding me, aren't you? Grandpa shook off his hand unhappily and turned to walk back.

"How can I explain it to you! Hi! The horse soldier said anxiously, "She's not dead, she's just not breathing." ”

My grandfather and I looked at the horsemen questioningly.

The horse soldier sighed: "I don't believe it either. But my mother said she didn't feel like she was breathing, and she said she was going to die. But she waited for half an hour, and still did not die. She can still eat and drink tea, and she can walk and move, but her body has no strength and her nose is not breathing. ”

Grandpa hesitated for a long time, pinching his nose, as if thinking about something.

Ma Bing asked anxiously: "Uncle Ma, what do you say is wrong?" ”

Grandpa paced back and forth a few steps, waved his big hand, and said, "Go." Let's go check it out first. When a few people heard this strange thing, they also gathered around and went to the dwarf mother-in-law's house together.

We went to the house of the dwarf mother-in-law, who was lying on the bed weakly, looking at us blankly like a seriously ill person. Her eyes were covered with a layer of ash like charcoal about to be extinguished, and it could be extinguished at any time. There were a few strands of hair on the bridge of the nose and through the nostrils. But the hair did not move at all near the nostrils, as if the nostrils were blocked. She really wasn't breathing! The living have a sense of dying, and to say that they are dead, they have a sense of being alive.

Grandpa comforted the little mother-in-law, and then said, "You do what I say." ”

The dwarf woman nodded.

Grandpa took a piece of paper and put it on the table and asked her to blow on it. The short mother-in-law opened her mouth and blew, and the paper lay there quietly, without moving a minute! We were dumbfounded.

Grandpa helped the little mother-in-law up, pointed to the window glass and said, "You breathe into the glass." ”

The short mother-in-law opened her mouth and approached the glass, the air outside was already relatively cold, if it was an ordinary person, if she was angry at the glass, a cloud of mist would immediately be left on the glass. The short woman opened and closed her mouth to the glass several times, but there was not a trace of fog on the glass!

"Sure enough, I didn't breathe!" Grandpa shook his head and helped his mother-in-law to lie down, "She should have met a gas eater." ”

"Gas Eater?" The horse soldier asked in surprise.

Grandpa nodded, his brow furrowed.

"What the hell is a gas eater?" I asked. I remembered the picture on TV of a hideous-looking ghost inhaling into a person's nose and mouth while they were asleep, and the person being inhaled died unconscious.

"This kind of ghost is not a ghost in human form. It is a ghost that cannot directly harm people like a lost god. But it is different from the lost god in that it feeds on the breath of people. People who are harmed by it will not die immediately, but they will feel that they are not breathing, but after a long time, they will become depressed, age rapidly, and die naturally. It's still a rare and upright ghost, and it's a disaster to see people who have done something wrong. After Grandpa finished speaking, he looked at the dwarf mother-in-law, and the dwarf mother-in-law avoided Grandpa's eyes, "While the dwarf mother-in-law hasn't lost her breath for a long time now, you and I will go with me to cure this qi-eating ghost." ”
