The man was still rubbing my neck, and I moved to the side of the bed, avoiding his hand: "Why are you helping me?" ”

He didn't reach out again, and said with a faint smile, "I'm helping myself." ”

"What do you mean?" I asked.

I was curious, but he suddenly changed the subject, "My name is Xiao Yu." ”

"Huh?" I kind of couldn't keep up with his train of thought.

"Remember this name, and if someone chokes her neck in the future, you will call me." As he spoke, he pressed my neck, but he took a breath, "You hurt, I hurt too." ”

His strength was not light, my tears of pain swirled, listening to the lack of movement behind me for a long time, I had the courage to turn my head to look, but I didn't see anything.

I breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put on my clothes and went to knock on the old man's door.

As soon as he opened the door, I threw myself into his arms and cried, "Dad, Lamei came to pinch me just now." ”

"Pinch you?" Lao Yutou turned on the light, looked at my neck, and instantly sank his face, "I see that she is pitiful and can't bear to let her soul fly away, but now it seems that I am rotten and kind." ”

He said, touching my head, "You sleep in this bed, don't be afraid, I'll watch over you." ”

He asked me to lie on the bed, and he moved a chair to sit on the edge of the bed and guard me.

I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, and slept until dawn.

When I got up, the old man was already busy in the yard.

I came back from cutting a large bunch of wicker from outside, and was pasting the lantern with wicker.

"Dad, do you want to call the soul again?" I asked curiously, the last time he used wicker to paste the red lantern was to call the soul of the streak.

"It's not." He shook his head, "I'll go up the mountain tonight to look for Lamei." ”

"Are you going to send her away?" I asked.

He paused, "It depends." ”

I saw that Lao Yutou had a solemn face, and I didn't dare to chase him all the time to ask, so I sat quietly on the side.

After a busy day's work, he not only pasted seven red lanterns, but also pasted a paper figure with wicker and white paper.

"Tuzi, come here."

I hurriedly went over, and he pulled my right hand, made a cut on it, drew the eyes and nose of the paper figure with my blood, and found cinnabar to write my birthday on the back of the paper figure.

By the time he was done, it was already getting dark.

Before I could continue to ask, Yu Jianguo suddenly led seven strong men into the courtyard.

"Brother, I found people, they were all born in February, and they are hard." Yu Jianguo said.

These strong men are all bolt-like physiques, tall and big, and one of them I know is Li Shan, a famous pig killer in this neighborhood.

The old man asked each of them to take a lantern, "It's up to you tonight, after going up the mountain, you must follow me, you can't talk, you can't run around, otherwise something happens, I really can't do anything." ”

Li Shan, who was the oldest among them, said with a smile: "Your red lantern is very evil, but with the money given by the founding of the country, we will also do this well." ”

After speaking, he also frowned at the others next to him and said, "It's just holding a red lantern, the girl is chirping." ”

The rest of the group burst out laughing, their faces less frightened.

Old Yu Tou's expression also relaxed, called Yu Jianguo aside, and asked in a low voice, "Is Zhao Yi gone?" ”

"Let's go, I watched him get on the bus, but he didn't ask for money, and scolded you all the way." Yu Jianguo replied.

"Just go, now Lamei has found Tuzi, if something happens to Tuzi, that thing can't be kept, even if you can't find out the person who controls Lamei tonight, you have to solve Lamei, otherwise something will happen sooner or later." He said in a deep voice.

Yu Jianguo nodded, "Okay, I don't know about feng shui, you can do whatever you say." ”

I looked at their posture of going to do big things, and asked suspiciously, "Dad, what are you going to do?" I want to go too. ”

Old Yutou immediately refused, "No, you stay at home honestly tonight." ”

"But......" I still wanted to speak, but was dragged into the house by Yu Jianguo.

He coaxed me helplessly and said: "Tuzi, you just stay at home, don't make trouble for us, and after this time, my uncle will take you to the county seat to play, good." ”

I pouted, almost engraved the word unhappy on my face, and didn't talk to Lao Yutou all night.

They didn't eat dinner, and left at nine o'clock, and when they left, they locked the door of the house, and pinned the doors and windows outside.

Not long after they left, I listened to the movement in the courtyard, and I was so frightened that I shrank on the bed with a burning stick, and I didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that Lamei would come and pinch me again.

"Tuzi, where are you?"

Just when I was scared, I suddenly heard Zhao Yi's voice.

"I'm in my house." I hurriedly replied, and after a while, the window was opened, and he turned on his flashlight, stretched his neck and said, "Do you want to go to the short bun?" ”

"Yes!"

I jumped off the ground, and suddenly a question came to my mind, wasn't he already gone? How did you come back again?

"Why are you back again?" I looked at him.

He smiled and said: "Of course I'm coming back to help you, it's not that I look down on people, Lao Yutou really doesn't have any big skills, it's okay to drive away evil spirits or something, but his tricks are not enough when it comes to big things." ”

"You're talking nonsense, my dad is very capable." I retorted unconvinced.

"If you really have the ability, you still need to take those people up the mountain?" Zhao Yi waved his hand, "Okay, I won't argue with you about those ones, are you on short buns?" If you don't go up, I'll go by myself. ”

Hearing Zhao Yi say this, I was also a little worried about Lao Yutou, afraid that something would happen to him.

After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth: "Okay, go together." ”

I jumped out of the window with a burning stick, and before I landed, I was carried out by Zhao Yi, "Little short legs, catch up with Ming'er and eat more." ”

He seemed to be really anxious, carried me all the way to the bottom of the short bun, took out a red candle from his pocket, lit it and let me hold it, and took out a piece of rune paper from his pocket, and dripped blood on the rune paper from the opening that the old man pulled out during the day.

Finally he wrapped a red rope around my right hand at night, and the other end of the red rope was wrapped around the candle.

He held a bell in his hand, shook it three times, and said, "Go!" ”

I couldn't help but move forward, trying to be pulled by something.

However, he did not get on the dwarf bun, but walked from the north to the west of the dwarf bun, and finally stopped at the old deserted grave by the river.

I was too scared to go in.

Zhao Yi rang the bell in my ear, my head buzzed, it was blank, and by the time I realized it again, I had already walked to the middle of the old deserted grave.

My heart was beating faster and faster, and I instinctively resisted walking on the bun, but my body didn't listen to me at all.

I suddenly had a feeling in my heart that Zhao Yi was using me, and the more I went up, the stronger this feeling became, although I couldn't figure out how he did it.

The candle flame in my hand danced from time to time, and there was an eerie silence around me, so that I couldn't even hear my own footsteps.

I was in a cold sweat on my back, and I was just about to open my mouth to call Zhao Yi, when I heard him whisper: "If you don't want to die, don't speak." ”

I remembered that today the old man also told those strong men that he couldn't speak, and he was busy closing his mouth.
