Chapter Forty-Nine: The Soul Sucker
"What then? I didn't mean to! I didn't steal or rob, how can I be so unlucky when I pick it up on the side of the road? Cao Feng, who was lying on the bed, regretted it.
"This copper coin looks like a strange thing, and you dare to pick it up and take it home? So people are greedy, sometimes you think that the things you pick up are windfalls, not unjust, but have you ever thought that those things that are not yours will not be yours in the end, and may even cause unexpected disasters. Uncle Li said earnestly.
"Uncle, I know, I will never pick up anything casually in the future, even if I see someone on the side of the road who lost a hundred yuan, I will not blink an eye!" Cao Feng said with determination.
Uncle Li shook his head and said, "If you want to say that you are stupid, you are really stupid." Why don't you pick up a hundred dollars? ”
"Uncle, didn't you say that the things you picked up are not good?" Li Bai wondered.
"I'm talking about strange things, look at this copper coin, is this something that appears casually on the street? This kind of thing should be vigilant, who told you that you don't pick up cash when you see it? Isn't that stupid? Uncle Li looked at Li Bai and them with contempt.
"Anyway, I won't pick up anything I see in the future." Cao Feng was frightened by this time, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, is there any salvation for me like this?" ”
Uncle Li smiled slightly, sat down next to Cao Feng and said, "You should thank your friends, if it weren't for them clamoring to come to see you, you might just be lying on the bed in a daze and waiting to die." ”
"Huh? Is it really that serious?! Cao Feng's wife was also taken aback.
"You see him thin like this, there is something sucking his essence, and when he finishes sucking, his little life will be gone." Uncle Li picked up Cao Feng's arm, like a branch.
"Uncle, you help, you save our old Cao, I can't live without him, my children haven't gone to school yet, so young can't you live without a father!" Cao Feng's wife finally couldn't hold it back and began to cry.
"Hey, I haven't said anything yet, you're crying first. Okay, it's not too late, I'll give him a good rest for a while. Uncle Li said steadily.
"Really?!" Cao Feng's wife laughed a little.
"Wait a minute!" Uncle Li suddenly closed his eyes and concentrated.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you? Do you feel where the ghost is? Li Bai hurriedly asked.
Uncle Li said slowly, "Do you feel it?" ”
"What?!"
"Something seems to be mushy." Uncle Li opened his eyes and said to Cao Feng's wife.
"Ouch! Braised pork! Cao Feng's wife remembered that the kitchen was still cooking braised pork, so she quickly got up and ran to the kitchen.
"You see, if it weren't for me, the food would be wasted." Uncle Li said with a smile.
Li Bai was just shaken by Uncle Li, and thought that something had happened, but it turned out to be because of eating, and said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle, let's do serious things first, this Cao Feng is like this, let's not think about eating it first." ”
Cao Feng lay on the bed, smiled awkwardly, and said, "It's not in the way, I'm not in a hurry." ”
"You see, people don't say anything themselves, you are in a hurry." After Uncle Li finished speaking, he took it out of his satchel.
Several people around him know that Uncle Li has a lot of things hidden in his satchel, all of which are rare things that can be used by Uncle Li.
Sure enough, Uncle Li rummaged for a long time and took out a small incense burner from his shoulder bag, the incense burner was so small that he could hold most of it with a single slap.
"What is this?" Li Bai asked.
Uncle Li showed it to the people around him and said, "This is an incense burner, do you know the incense burner?" ”
The others nodded, and Li Bai was amazed and said, "Uncle Li, aren't you tired of walking this way and carrying so many things?" ”
"It's all for use." Uncle Li said faintly.
I saw Uncle Li put the incense burner at the head of the bed, took out the lighter he carried with him, and opened the lid of the incense burner, and there was a piece of grease and something like that inside. Li Bai remembered the last time Uncle Li burned this kind of thing, and said, "Uncle, is this corpse oil again?" ”
Uncle Li hehehe, and said, "I said that you have a good memory, but don't you see that everything is corpse oil?" Where do you get so much corpse oil? This is pine resin. ”
"Oh, that's kind of normal." Li Bai smiled.
Uncle Li turned his head to look at Li Bai: "Normal? This is a thousand-year-old Honka! ”
"Really?" Everyone was stunned.
"Fake." Uncle Li laughed, "Don't believe me anything, people have to learn to distinguish the true from the fake, but although this pine tree is not a thousand years, it has been for hundreds of years." ”
"So what's the use of burning this?" Lei Baoquan asked.
"You'll find out later." Uncle Li unhurriedly burned the pine resin for a while, only to see that the pine resin began to smoke, faint, only a small wisp.
"Huh? Look at the smoke. "Jin Guo suddenly discovered something strange.
Everyone observed carefully for a while, only to find that the smoke from the incense burner slowly drifted out of the stove, but it did not dissipate, but gathered in one direction, slowly gathering above Cao Feng's head.
Everyone looked towards it, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, only to see that the smoke had accumulated a lot, and slowly seemed to form the shape of a cloud in the air without dispersing. And in the smoke hazy as if there was a half-length figure, gradually, the figure became clearer and clearer, like a projector shining on the wall, the picture seemed to be around.
"It's... What is it? Cao Feng was a little shocked, there was clearly a person on his head, an old man, with a blue face and empty eyes, lying on his head and sucking greedily.
Uncle Li took out a cigarette and said, "This is the old man you took other people's money, and he is inhaling your yang energy." ”
Lei Baoquan and several people were also startled, and they all retreated, and Cao Feng also wanted to retreat, but his body was weak and he couldn't move while lying on the bed.
"Uncle...... You... Don't just look at it, come on, think of a way. Cao Feng was anxious.
"Yes, uncle, don't be scared when his wife comes in later." Jin Guo said.
Uncle Li thought about it, there is also a woman's family, in case he is scared, he will be disgraced.
"That's it." Uncle Li said as he held the money in his hand, and then pressed it on Cao Feng's hand, saying, "You just lie down honestly and do what I say." ”
Cao Feng couldn't stop nodding.
Uncle Li looked at the smoke and called softly: "Old brother, the young man is not sensible, he took your things by mistake, and I won't give them back to you." You also dissipate your anger and go on the road, there is no wine to drink when you go to Lord Yama late. ”
Lei Baoquan and the three of them were behind Uncle Li, looking at the people in the smoke, they heard Uncle Li speak, looked at him, but turned their heads as if they ignored him.
"Haha, my brother is still very stubborn, so let's ask you to drink two glasses, and we'll go on the road after drinking." Saying that, Uncle Li asked Cao Feng, "Do you have any wine at home?" ”
"Yes, yes, ask my wife to bring it." Cao Feng said.
Jin Guo ran out of the house and asked Cao Feng's wife for a bottle of beer and two cups.
"What is beer?" Uncle Li took it and asked.
"I don't usually drink liquor, and I only drink beer occasionally." Cao Feng said.
"Okay, beer is beer." Uncle Li poured two glasses and said to the smoke: "Brother, there is no liquor, and the beer is okay, let's have two glasses?" ”
The old man in the smoke glanced down at the wine glass, obviously a little tempted, as if he hesitated, Uncle Li smiled and said, "I'll do it first." After saying that, he tilted his head and put a small glass of beer into his stomach.
As soon as Uncle Li finished drinking, everyone saw another glass of beer on the bedside table, as if someone had drunk it, and it decreased little by little.
Uncle Li watched the glass of wine gradually reveal its bottom, laughed, and said, "One cup is not enjoyable, let's have another glass!" ”
As soon as he finished pouring another glass, the wine began to slowly decrease again until it was empty.
"Okay, brother, let's go on the road after two drinks, leave early and nursery." As he spoke, Uncle Li blew at the smoke vigorously, and the smoke suddenly dispersed. Disappeared without a trace.
"It's gone, it's gone." Li Bai shouted.
Seeing this situation, Cao Feng's haggard face was also happy, and said, "Uncle, this is okay, right?" ”
"It's not over yet!" Uncle Li said suddenly.
"What? Not done yet? Lei Baoquan asked.
Uncle Li closed his eyes and said quietly, "Do you feel anything?" ”
Li Bai understood what Uncle Li meant this time, sniffed hard, smelled a fragrance, and said, "I feel it, the meal is ready." ”
Uncle Li laughed and said, "Then what are you waiting for, pick up Xiao Cao, let's eat as much as we say." ”
