Chapter 33: Preparations
After eating, we went to my uncle's house to find thick ink, and my uncle was preparing medicinal herbs and fiddling with some yellow things, "What is this?" I asked in surprise.
The uncle picked up a piece and said, "The bark of the old jujube tree." "This is the color of the bark of the old jujube tree? Isn't it black, and the jujube tree will change color after a long time?
Pei Feng leaned in and sniffed it, "It smells of sesame oil." ”
Uncle smiled and said, "Well, yes, fry the yellow one with sesame oil." ”
I wondered, "What is this treatment for?" Do you just bite and eat like that? "Rather, I feel the urge to bite down.
"Ground into a fine powder and eat it every day to treat chronic enteritis." My aunt came out of the back room and replied, wiping her hair as she went, apparently having just washed her hair.
"This is my aunt." I pointed to my aunt and said.
"Hello Auntie." Pei Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, he paused, and then shouted politely, "Hello, Auntie." ”
My aunt said embarrassedly, "Auntie, I don't have any candy for you." ”
Zha Chengyan said at this time: "Auntie, have I seen you at Xinjiekou?" ”
"My aunt is there to get medicine!" The last time I saw it in Zhaojia Passenger Transport, Zhaojia Passenger Transport is Xinjiekou.
"Grab the medicine? Wasn't it all in Lao Yuan's house before? Uncle asked suspiciously, the old Yuan family pharmacy has the most complete kinds of medicines, and the herbs that my uncle lacks are all obtained there.
"Oh, you have such a memory, I told you, the old Yuan family's medicine buckle said, I changed to Xinjiekou." My aunt poked my uncle hard with her arm.
Uncle shook his head, "We are old friends, no matter how much we deduct the title, then we have to talk about love." ”
"You're interceding, so why isn't he interceding?" My aunt shook her hair and ignored my uncle.
"Xinjiekou, it's close to our house, next time my aunt can come to our house for tea." Pei Feng warmly invited, as if he was playing a round.
My aunt covered her mouth and smiled: "Okay, definitely." ”
"Auntie, where's the thick ink?" I didn't see anyone, and I almost forgot the purpose of this trip.
"He, he's gone to the ancestral hall, and he told you to go to him." This kid doesn't wait for me.
"Then let's go first, my classmates want to see the dragon lantern." I said I'm leaving.
My aunt stopped me, "Hey, wait. She took out a small model bowl from her pocket, which was very small, and there was a ring hanging on it, which was a small pendant. This is given by the patient who gave back today, and the thick ink is a boy, so this is for you. ”
I took the small bowl and said, "Thank you, auntie." "My heart blossomed. I casually hung it on the line where I wore the peach pit on my hand. I'm going to go back and put it on my bag again.
When I saw thick ink, thick ink was helping uncles and aunts paste paper. "Thick ink!" I'm incredible. Another dragon lantern is also done, and no one finds the problem with the head? He also saw me, and he saw a couple of people next to me, "He, they want to see the dragon lantern." I reluctantly explained.
Thick ink ignored me and continued to apply glue. What is he doing if he doesn't stop and help? I turned back to them and said, "Go and see what is done, but don't touch it." Then he pulled the thick ink out and spoke alone, "Do you know what you're doing?" ”
"Of course I know that when I was pasting paper, I read the scriptures." Is it possible to make the dragon lantern not work or destroy itself? He continued: "A dragon lantern does not have much prestige. ”
I asked, "No lethality?" ”
"Yes, but it will be greatly weakened, do you know what happened to the dragon lantern that broke the neck last night?" I shook my head.
"The head is connected again, so it seems that even if we destroy the dragon lantern, they can still be restored, but it is better to join in the process of making the dragon lantern and break it from the inside." What I admire is that it's almost five-body to the ground, and the logic of thick ink is so strong.
"Thick ink, you're so smart!"
"Because you're stupid! I can't help out yet. He gave me a blank look.
I nodded his head, "Teach me the scriptures." ”
"Don't nod my head!" I laughed and rubbed my hands.
I walked in and smirked at the others, "You three, help out!" "So we threw ourselves into the vigorous production of zuò, and made zuò dragon lanterns for the first time in our lives! How not to get excited? How not to be excited? I excitedly picked up the paste and muttered the scriptures, "The True Dragon Edict, the Invisible Birth ......"
"Smack-" Thick Ink patted me on the back with a brush, "Silent Recitation...... Everyone else looked over.
I smiled awkwardly, "There are flies." Continue to recite silently, "True Dragon Edict ......" and paste paper.
As soon as my hand was pasted, a force sucked my whole person's internal breath through, my hand was stuck on the paper, I couldn't pull it out, I panicked, there must be a ghost in preventing me from breaking the law, "Thick ink, my hands are sore, you pinch me." "I asked for help from thick ink, and my anger was still rushing to my hand.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Pei Feng jumped up from the skeleton on the other side of the dragon lantern, did the power of the pig's head three come again? Don't, thick ink, stop him!
I gave thick ink a look, and thick ink grabbed the excited Pei Feng, "Let her pinch it herself, it's squeamish." "My strength is disappearing, my whole body is weak, my strength is constantly being sucked away, thick ink, don't care about the pig's head, come and save me!
In the dizziness, a pair of white jade-like hands covered my hands, and then the absorbed strength slowly returned, and Zha Chengyan easily took my firmly glued hands off the paper, pinched them a few times, and asked, "Is it still sour?" If you're tired, go back, there are still classes in the afternoon. "I was stunned, what ordinary people can do so easily, I almost lost my breath, it's better to be an ordinary person!
"It's not sour, it's not sour!" I quickly shook my head.
"I'm sour, I'm sour!" Fei Dongxi called out again, "Pinch it for me." She stretched out her hand to Zha Chengyan, and the little look of anticipation was so cute.
I don't know if it's my delusion, Zha Chengyan's usual face is even more pale, and he said, "I'm a little sleepy, go back and rest first, Lin Xuan, goodbye, everyone." The voice was a little floating, and I left after speaking, and I didn't have time to figure out whether I was scared by Fei Dongxi or other reasons.
I stood up and clapped my hands and said, "Go back too, and see and see, and you'll see it when you play with the lights." ”
"Okay, okay, I'm going too!" Fei Dongxi also chased out.
"Goodbye Xuanzi, goodbye thick ink!" Pei Feng saw that he was left alone, and he also ran away.
Thinking that I should also go, I had to rest from class in the afternoon, so I said to Nongmo: "I'm going back too, do you want to continue with Nongmo?" ”
"No, that's pretty much enough." We said goodbye to our uncle and aunt together and left.
As soon as he went out, he asked, "What happened just now?" Your hands ......"
"It's not my hands, it's the qi of my body, and the ghost dragon lamp is sucking my strength." In an instant, the strength was drawn.
Thick Mo frowned, "It's not strength, it's snake energy!" ”
"Why?"
"The ghost dragon lantern was weakened by the scriptures, and the ghost qi was insufficient, so I just met you."
He frowned, a little annoyed, "I didn't think of this at all. Did your classmates help block it? "I don't know, I just know that as soon as Zha Chengyan's hand came up, my strength returned, and I was able to leave.
"It seems to be ......"
"What's his origin? Learned the Tao at home? "What does this mean is that ordinary people can't do it?
"I don't know, the new transfer, he has a problem?"
"The flesh can be cut off by mortal wombs." He replied. That's it, it scared me. "But it's hard to explain why he took your hand, do you know each other well?" But his subsequent words were inexplicable.
"I'm not familiar with it......" only two sentences counted.
"If he is an ordinary person and doesn't know your situation, then what kind of mentality does he have to squeeze your hand?"
I was stunned for two seconds before I reacted, "Thick ink, you are perverted!" What's on your mind? ”
My Nine Yin White Bone Claw stretched out towards him, "Pei Feng has a smell on his body. "Huh? What's the same thing? "Fox smell? Smelly feet? Halitosis? "I guess.
Thick ink: "......" I didn't smell it anyway.
"Of course not, it's a special smell, I can't put it into words. I can tell your snake energy, but he seems to have it in him, but there is something mixed with it. He puffed out his mouth.
"It's normal for him to play with me and have the snake aura on my body!" I think it's a lot of thought. Everyone's smell is different, so it's normal. Hey, weren't we talking about Cha Chengyan just now? His mind is really jumping!
Since we're involved, why don't we go and wreak havoc tonight? "Thick ink, can you sleep tonight?"
He looked at me with disgust: "Stupid! The time to play with the lights is set for tomorrow night, do you have to wait until something happens? "Tomorrow night? So fast? yes, three days...... It's three days until tomorrow! Time flies, and the time for sentencing is coming.
A rooster crow pulled me out of my dream, I turned on the electric light, looked at the time, it was almost five o'clock in the morning, and it was time for me and Thick Ink to go. Thick ink said to play with the lights tonight, if you do anything last night, I'm afraid it's hard not to be discovered, now the rooster crows, even if you do something, those ghosts can't do anything to us, and when the night can be, there are a lot of people, we have to avoid, so we choose the early morning action of the rooster crow.
"I'm not going to set up."
"I didn't let you set up." Then why do I take so many things? I looked at myself protestingly, and there were a lot of big bags and small bags, and thick ink took a pair of red ropes...... I secretly raised my fist behind me.
It was still dark at five o'clock, and the ancestral hall was still brightly lit on the surface as always, and thick ink squatted on the left wall and said to me, "Open the yellow bag, there is a white plastic bag inside." ”
I took out the yellow bag from the big bag and opened the plastic bag, which was full of small stones, and let me run so far with the small stones on my back, there was no humanity, no humanity. "Isn't this just a stone! It's everywhere in here! ”
"You idiot! Can ordinary stones work? He took a stone, wrapped the red thread around it, and put it on the wall. Then he took out the chalk and wrote down the stone along the corner of the wall, at the same intervals.
After finally surrounding the entire ancestral hall with red threads, thick ink said to me again: "Open the black bag, there is a porcelain bottle inside, pull out the stopper." ”
I did, "And then?" ”
"Hand it to me"
“……”
He took the porcelain vase, pointed at the red line at the entrance of the ancestral hall, slowly poured it, and the fine soil particles poured out from it, covering the red line, the width was the same as the door, and then flicked it with his hand, recited something, and then said to me: "Collect the line!" "Huh? After doing so much work, pour some soil and the line is closed.
By the time dawn was near, we were done, our backpacks were exhausted, we were going back, and I was getting ready for school. It's up to tonight!
It must be too late to act after the evening self-study, so ...... I'm taking a leave of absence again. In the eyes of the head teacher, I am a weak and sick student, speaking of which, I am quite grateful to him, the first reaction of ordinary people to sick leave is fake, I ask for leave, the first reaction of the head teacher is: Where are you uncomfortable? Need a few days off? So I had to be uncomfortable for another night. Not only was I uncomfortable, but I also brought out another uncomfortable person, speaking of this person, the head teacher also approved if he could, and if he couldn't approve and broke the rules, he had to approve.
When the dragon lantern was about to come out of the lantern hall, thick ink and I were observing. Sure enough, as soon as he went out, a black gas leaked out, and at this time, the ghost either left and let the ghost dragon lamp burn without gas to support it, or he couldn't hold it out, so it would inevitably be damaged. If the ghost qi is damaged, then it will be easier to deal with it, well, such a vicious idea must have been thought up by thick ink, and I am innocent.
We arrived at the door of Zhao's house before the dragon lantern, the Zhao family was very happy, I guess they felt that it was okay now, I silently mourned for their family, hoping to stop it. We pretended to be fun-loving children, and as the crowd crowded at their doorstep, thick ink sprinkled a little transparent liquid on the ground that I didn't know, this liquid he also used last time, and it was also used to soak bamboo skewers, but thick ink just didn't tell me. Then we squatted on the ground and pretended to play with the dirt, and the thick ink drew on the ground with our hands, very light and light, and we couldn't see it if we didn't look closely. After drawing a series of them, the dragon lantern has already arrived.
