Chapter Twenty-Six: Into the Town

I looked at his back by the flickering candlelight, and my mind was in chaos.

"Girl, girl."

When I woke up again, I was awakened by Wu Liu's scream, and when I opened my eyes and saw him staring at me, I suddenly faced such a wrinkled, eyeless face, and I was directly frightened and completely awake.

"Scaring you? You're a shady person, how can you be so scared? Wu Liu said that, he stretched out his hand, gently picked the cloth off my face and looked at it, and asked me suspiciously: "Doesn't it hurt?" ”

"Huh? It doesn't hurt. "I felt my cheeks itchy and hot before I went to bed last night, but after this sleep, I don't feel that uncomfortable anymore.

"You met that mage last night, he really loved you girl, and he was reluctant to help you because of your discomfort." Wu Liu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, seemingly happy.

And I didn't understand what Wu Liu was saying for a while.

"Meow, meow."

Kuroko tilted his head, walked in through the door, and jumped on the bed with agility, and from his skills, I could see that his "illness" was completely cured.

"Kuroko." I held it, and it licked my cheek with its tongue as before, screaming merrily.

Wu Liu patted Kuroko's cheek lightly: "You can't lick this strip of cloth, otherwise, you little beast will be uncomfortable." ”

"Meow." Kuroko seemed to be very obedient to Wu Liu, and as soon as Wu Liu said it, it immediately stopped licking my cheeks and went straight into my arms.

"You remember your face for seven days and then remove the strip of cloth, and you can't touch the water during this period." Wu Liu said with a serious face.

I nodded and said yes, and he asked me to prepare food and drinks for him, and he was hungry.

This Wu Liu is even more exaggerated than my grandfather, the wine jug does not leave his hand, and the amount of wine he drinks is also amazing, the stronger the wine, the more he likes it.

I was about to sit down and eat when he got the food and drinks, and he pointed to the burlap bag on the corner of the table, and told me to take the contents to the backyard and burn them.

I recognized it, this burlap bag was used to hold Tai Sui last night.

"Isn't it a pity that this burns?" I thought that the evil qi of the Tai Sui flesh had been absorbed by the Buddha beads, so wouldn't it be able to use medicine to save people?

Wu Liu shook his head, saying that this evil qi cannot be completely absorbed, and there is a risk in medicine, so it's okay to try it for cats and dogs, but people still forget it, so they must immediately burn the province's long night dreams.

"Then I'll burn it." Thinking that this thing might cause any more waves, I immediately dragged the burlap bag to the backyard.

When my grandmother was alive, she often burned paper money in this backyard, so there is a large pot dedicated to burning paper, and I poured out all the Tai Sui meat in the burlap bag.

This Tai Sui meat smells not quite the same as yesterday, with a fishy smell, and, what's even more terrifying, I actually saw a row of teeth in this Tai Sui meat!

This tooth is like the tooth of a beast, very big, very sharp, looking at this tooth, I touched my cheek again, it was this row of teeth that bit me last night, then my face, won't it leave a deep scar?

"Girl, burn it with white wax."

I was touching my cheek in a daze, when Wu Liu's voice suddenly came from behind me.

"Oh." I replied casually, trotted to my grandmother's small room where the incense candles were kept, and came out with white wax.

As soon as this Tai Sui meat touched the flame on the white ash, it burned very quickly with a "boom", and the fire was very strong, emitting thick black smoke.

I stood aside and watched the row of teeth intently, and finally the Tai Sui flesh was burned out, but the row of teeth was still lying in the black ashes.

Wu Liu seemed to already know that this tooth could not be burned, so he squatted down directly, took out the row of teeth from the ashes, and then carried it into his arms.

Without waiting for me to ask him what the use of keeping it was, he turned around and went back to the hall to drink.

"Tick bell, tick bell."

I was sitting thoughtfully on the sofa in the living room, staring at Wu Liu drinking, when the phone rang.

Now the only person who can call home is the second aunt, that is, the sister, who picked up the phone, and the voice from the other end was really my sister's voice.

"Little rhino, you can take the shuttle bus to the town as soon as possible." My sister's voice was a little anxious.

After asking, I found out that my grandfather's situation did not improve after he arrived in the town, but it got worse and worse, and he has been asleep since yesterday and has not woken up again.

The doctor said that he should let his relatives accompany him more, because he may have to "leave" in the next few days.

What does this "go" mean, of course, I know very well in my heart, tears flowed down my cheeks, I couldn't stop choking, and promised my sister that I would take the shuttle bus to the town as soon as possible, and my sister also said that she would wait for me at the bus stop in the town.

"Don't cry, didn't you say, your face can't touch the water, your tears are going to be bad." Wu Liu shouted angrily.

I sniffed, and now I can't care about any injuries on my face, thinking that this grandfather may not be able to do it, my heart panicked.

"Don't panic, come with me." Wu Liu said as he poured all the wine in the jug into his gourd, and then strode towards the gate.

"I, I, I haven't packed up yet." I shouted at Wu Liu in a bit of a hurry.

"What kind of luggage to pack, your shuttle here only runs at half past ten in the morning, and now it's ten and fifteen, and you have to run now to catch up." Wu Liu has only been in the village for a few days, but he knows about these anomalies.

"yes, it's too late." I was even more panicked, and immediately rushed into my room and took out the money bag, where I put my New Year's money in the past few years, and my second aunt was generous, and here I spent it before, there was still more than 1,300 yuan left, which was a "huge amount of money".

I wanted to put the sunspot at Heiwa's house for the time being, and let Heiwa help take care of it, but it was too late, so I could only take Kuroko with me.

After locking the door, I followed Wu Liu all the way to the entrance of the village, as Wu Liu said, the car had started, and we were shouting and squeezing into the car.

Because Wu Liu did something for the village, several uncles in the car were very polite to Wu Liu and gave up their seats to Wu Liu.

Seeing that I was still covered with a bloody strip of cloth on my head, he thought I was injured, and asked me what was going on.

"I'm fine, just a knock." Naturally, I won't tell them that I was bitten by the evil Tai Sui: "Uncle, what are you doing here?" ”

People in the village rarely go out, and they usually go out before the year to buy New Year's goods.

"Oh, isn't this the village chief who has passed away, we have to help buy some funeral supplies to go back, and besides, we will re-elect the village chief in a few days, and there are too many things to squeeze together, so if we want to buy it first, we will do it first." These uncles should know how the village chief died, so when it comes to funerals, their faces are a little ugly.

I didn't say anything more, and sat quietly with Wu Liu.

It takes several hours to go to the town, Wu Liu asked me to sleep for a while, I hugged the sunspot, although I closed my eyes and wanted to rest, but my heart was messed up and I couldn't sleep.

From time to time, I also heard a few uncles in the back row say that after the village chief died, Zhao Hu sent a big pork leg to each family, and it is very likely that he will become the village chief this year.

I couldn't help frowning when I heard this, can someone like Zhao Hu still be the village head? If he really does, it will be a disaster for our village.

"People said, it's not bad for money, as long as you can be it, give us red envelopes." These uncles have a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhao Hu on weekdays.

Now, for the sake of money, it seems that he has forgotten all those previous grievances, and he is more forgetful than us children.

"Meow." Kuroko lay in my arms, looked out the window and meowed, then buried her face in the crook of my arm and fell asleep.

I stroked the sunspot, the uneasiness in my heart gradually calmed down, the road was bumpy, it was nearly two o'clock in the middle of the day when I arrived in the town, and I was still a little confused when I got off the bus.

Because there were dozens of buses parked, there was a lot of traffic, and they were all crowded with people, Wu Liu took my arm and walked towards the front exit.

I hugged the sunspot tightly, for fear that it would suddenly hit the ground, and it would have to be trampled into a meatloaf in such a crowded place.

"Little rhino, little rhino!"

As soon as I came out of the exit gate, I heard my sister's familiar call, and I looked around, and the people around me were taller than me, and I couldn't see my sister at all.

Wu Liu dragged me and leaned towards the source of the sound very accurately.

When my sister rushed over and hugged me, I hadn't come back to my senses.

"Little rhino, you're here, I'm afraid you'll make a mistake." My sister let go of me and was startled when she saw the strip of cloth on my face.

When she was in the distance, she thought it was a red hat and scarf or something, but now she saw that it was actually a bloody strip of cloth.

"I'm just knocking it off, so take me to the hospital and see if it's okay." I hurriedly digressed from the subject.

My sister's eyes moved to Wu Liu's body again, and after seeing Wu Liu's face, she opened her mouth wide in shock, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

"This is Wu Lao who brought me here, he is a good person, let's go to the hospital." I shook my sister's arm slightly, and my sister nodded and walked towards the outside of the parking lot with Wu Liu and me.

I looked around curiously, it was simply dazzling, it was so big, there were so many people, the houses were better than our country, there were rock sugar gourds, and candy were everywhere, which made me feel like a paradise.

My sister also bought me a bunch of sugar gourds, and I thought that if my grandfather wasn't sick now, I guess I would be really happy.

When we arrived at the hospital, we walked for more than half an hour, this hospital is very large, before Liu Village Doctor said, there is a big hospital in the town, but this is bigger than I imagined, I think the doctors here must be very skillful, grandpa should be fine.
