Chapter 32: The Messenger

Seeing that he had almost eaten, Xiao Sun took out a bag of melon seeds from somewhere, Brother Liang and Lao Liu withdrew everything they had eaten, boiled a pot of water, made a pot of tea, and everyone continued to sit together, listening to Brother Liang continue to tell the magical stories he encountered when he was a child.

said that everything seemed to be in order, just waiting for Grandma Tai's order to act. But at this time, Grandma Tai asked the village chief, we have found someone to lead the way, but we must also have a connection with each other.

You must know that in the countryside in the early 80s, not to mention the countryside, even the city, who could have a telephone, let alone a mobile phone, so the fastest transmission of messages had to rely on people.

"Who do you think is suitable?" The father of the second son asked.

"It's not who is suitable, it's that there should be four people who can do it, this east, west, north and south, four people who run fast need to send a message to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Grandma added.

"Me!"

"I can do it!"

"I'll go!"

"I'm running fast!"

With four sounds, four people stood up, and everyone looked at it, okay, and these four people had to do it.

Who is it, it is the four people who participated in the relay run on behalf of the village in the sports meeting held in the town that year. There are Li Jian, Xiao Bo, Han Shanyue and Qu Dong, and the reason why these four people can represent the village to compete is of course very capable of running.

The most interesting thing is that these four people are still training shirtless along the river in winter, which shows that their physical fitness is good.

Li Jian asked: "Grandma, it should be no problem for the four of us to pass on a message, right?" ”

"Of course, that's fine, but you need to be careful as messengers." Grandma reminded.

The four of them were very happy to see that everyone trusted them. At this time, the village chief spoke: "Big, grandma, it's no problem for the four of them to run fast, but, but the problem is that in the middle of the night, will everyone act alone a little alone?" ”

This reminder made the four of them also surprised, yes, it's okay to put it down and run a step or something, but the key is that what I'm doing now is to subdue demons and catch ghosts, this thing is already quite scary, and it's an action in the middle of the night, can I do it?

"Do you each have a dog at home?" Grandma asked.

"You're really right, the four of us usually practice running together, and we often communicate together, last year, Xiao Bo's sunspot gave birth to a litter of dogs, exactly four, and we raised one each." Li Jian replied.

"That's great, you guys go home as fast as you can now and get the dog." Grandma Tai seems to be trying their skills.

Looking at these four people again, it was like a race, and they each ran towards their homes as if they were in smoke. It didn't take much effort to hear the barking of dogs and the rapid footsteps of people, and the fastest to come back was Xiao Bo, and then he didn't bring back a dog, but brought his own sunspot.

The remaining three people also came with dogs soon, and when several dogs saw the sunspots, they all came up together, sniffed the sunspots, and sniffed each other, it seems that this family is reunited today.

Grandma looked at these dogs carefully, it was really good, although it was not a wolf dog, but the ears were also upright, the most important thing is that these dogs were like sunspots, black and black, no miscellaneous hair at all, if mixed in the night, it must not be seen, which is also the most in line with the way dogs come to suppress evil spirits.

Grandma Tai said that this sunspot should be taken by the second son's father first, because he is the general contact, and then the information will be transmitted to the four messengers, and then the messenger will take the black dog to deliver the message. When everyone heard this arrangement, they couldn't help but applaud the details prepared by Grandma.

Since everything was in order, Grandma Tai temporarily announced the dissolution and gathered at nine o'clock in the evening. Why disband? The first is to ask everyone to go back and send the children to relatives in other villages, and the second is to eat well to do this, especially this kind of thing, you must not have an empty stomach.

Everyone also understood Grandma's intentions, so they went home and prepared to go. To be honest, I ran for a day and was really hungry, but my grandmother understood me and immediately set up a stove to cook for us.

As the sunset receded, the colors of the evening began to rise again, and I sat in the courtyard and watched the darkness come up into the night. At this time, grandma said, "After eating, you and your aunt will go to your aunt's house, where to spend the night first, and then come back tomorrow." ”

The aunt hurriedly agreed, of course she was willing to go, and her aunt's family had a cousin of the same age as her, and she couldn't be happy to go there to play. But I didn't want to, so I asked unhappily: "Grandma, aren't other people's children going to the side village?" Do I go too? With Grandma here, plus your Taoism, do I still need to go outside? ”

"Look at this little mouth, you can speak, it's not that grandma doesn't want to take you there, but it's not to play tonight, it's too risky, plus you're a child, it's best not to go to that kind of place at night." Grandma said as she looked at the colors of the sky.

I saw that I couldn't beg grandma, so I went to the back room to grind grandma who was preparing things. As soon as I entered the house, I saw what Grandma was putting in a cloth bag, I think it should be something that is done, now I don't have to be curious, the most important thing now is to let me go with them at night, when the time comes, what magic weapon Grandma uses, isn't it a matter of a glance.

"Grandma, I'll go at night, just let me go, you took me there when you asked for directions, and now take me there, let me see and see." I begged my grandmother all the time.

Grandma thought for a while, then ran to the yard and said to grandma: "Let Liangzi go, I see this child is okay, although sometimes he is a little timid, but this courage is also practiced, and in the future, someone will have to know how to do these abilities, so let the child go with him, and you will take him with you then." ”

As soon as I heard it, there was a door, and I looked at my grandmother's face, and I was a little unhappy at first, but after listening to my grandmother's words, I might think it made sense, so I nodded and agreed. I also grimaced at my aunt and said, "Look, take me there, don't take you there!" ”

The aunt said disdainfully: "What's fun, weird and scary, let me go, I won't go." ”

I know my aunt's thoughts, she just wants to play, she doesn't care about catching ghosts and monsters, this may be the difference between boys and girls.

With bursts of fragrant food, grandma has already prepared the meal. Although it is quite vegetarian, it is also fragrant, there are shallots mixed with tofu, there are scrambled eggs, there is a large sauce made by yourself, and steamed sweet potatoes, and I also made porridge with stick noodles, which is very refreshing to eat.

My grandmother put some sugar in my porridge, which is my favorite food, with a sweet taste and a taste of hometown, so that I can remember the scene at that time when I think about it now.

Grandma ate the latest, and chatted with grandma about the steps of the night's action. While we were eating, some villagers who were eating fast were already smoking cigarettes and chatting outside our door. This is the life of the countryside, everyone lives very close, usually after eating and chatting together for a while, now there is something to get together, and it is enough to chat.

Soon, we were all finished eating, and my grandmother quickly packed up before turning around and going to her house to make the final preparations. At this time, my aunt had already said goodbye to us and went to my aunt's house, and until she left, she didn't have the slightest curiosity about going to the demon and ghost hunting.

In the sky outside, there is a moon rising high, it is a full moon, it is really good, grandma said that the full moon is good, it is conducive to doing this, I don't understand, what is the use of the full moon for doing this, but seeing grandma and grandma are very satisfied with today's moon, I also learned to make a satisfied expression, which made everyone happy.

Grandma carefully went to the back room and took out a box, put it on me, and said not to open it at the critical moment, I touched the box, and said what was inside? It won't be a powerful magic weapon, I really want to open the box now.

I carefully looked at the box, it was not iron, it was not plastic, it looked like wood, but it had the texture of metal, in terms of weight, although it was very light, but since I hugged it, I felt an inexplicable courage and righteousness suddenly surged into my heart.

When I was looking at the box, I could feel that the box seemed to move, which frightened me, and my heart spoke, is this box also alive? But if you think about it, it's impossible, it's obviously an object to the touch, not like an animal.

Just as I was thinking about it, the box moved again, and this time I felt that something was moving inside. I was a little surprised, and I thought what was in it, and how many years later I realized how precious this thing I was holding in my hand was to my grandmother.
