Chapter 56: The Night Watchman

"San'er, what are you screaming, ,,。 that thing is coming?"

A confused old voice sounded from the child's side, but stopped before he could say anything, because he saw us, this is an old man in his sixties, without looking closely, he directly held a stick and hit the nearest Li Dadong,

Before the stick touched the corner of Li Dadong's clothes, the old man suddenly stopped again, this time he got closer, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Dongzi,. ”

Li Dadong immediately responded: "Little Moye, why are you here." ”

"Little Grinder,." Lao Yang and Ma Shunhong suddenly stepped forward and shouted happily,

I relaxed slightly, it turned out that everyone knew this old man, and he must have been a villager who moved out of alpaca village.

After explaining the situation slightly, I saw Xiao Mo Ye sigh lightly and said: "The person who should have been in the ground, I never thought that I was old, but I could still encounter this kind of thing, alas,,。 ”

I clenched my fists and asked, "Little Mo Master, what you said is that drought ghost." ”

The old man's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly looked up the hillside, and then lowered his voice and said to the child beside him: "San'er, go home and sleep quickly, don't stay up late with grandpa." ”

The child blinked, looked at a few of us, and finally nodded slightly to the old man, "Grandpa, don't stay up too long." ”

After speaking, the child turned around and grinded his big pants and walked towards the house not far away, the old man looked at the child's back kindly, until the child opened the door and walked in, then slowly turned back to me and said: "My little grandson and I will stay here every few days to watch that thing, recently ah is very diligent, almost three or five days will come here to fetch water." ”

Naturally, I understood that the old man was talking about the drought-stricken ghost we were looking for, and immediately asked, "Then how often did it come before?" ”

The old man thought about it for a while, and said: "In the past, there was no time period, sometimes I came once every half a month, sometimes I came once every ten days or eight days, but recently, I would come to pick up water once every three or two days, and everyone here knows it, and they are all scared." ”

I nodded and said, "Then why are you ,,, you and your little grandson guarding here?" ”

The old man smiled honestly when he heard this, and said: "It's not easy to live now, although there are a few farmers in the other few families, but they can't stand anything, I ,,, hehe, no, peachwood crutches, if you can keep everyone safe here, it's worth it." ”

I glanced down at the stick in the old man's hand, sure enough, it was made of peach wood, as the saying goes, peach wood can ward off evil spirits and force away evil things, but the premise is to bless the secret spell, or make it into a peach wood sword sacrifice, or make it into a peach wood talisman, all of which have the effect of suppressing evil and driving away evil, but such an ordinary peach wood, for the drought ghost, it should not have any great effect, the old man's compassion is admirable, but it should not be so risky,

Lao Yang suddenly interjected: "Little Mo Master, how is the situation here. ”

The old man's face was ugly for a while, and he said: "It's strange that nothing happened here, but there is one point, dozens of families here, as long as that thing appears at night, will have the same nightmare, for a long time, the villagers are terrified, every night is frightened, and I don't know where there is a problem, it is said that that thing has not disturbed our life, alas." ”

I couldn't help but scream and said, "It's bad, earth qi, it can actually come out through earth qi to make trouble." ”

Lao Yang hurriedly asked: "On the seventh day of the first month, what kind of earth qi, and what does this have to do with earth qi?" ”

I jerked my head up and said, "It's too late to explain, we're almost at the place of the spring, and only when we see the spring can I explain why." ”

Li Dadong suddenly said urgently: "I know where the spring is, I'll take you there." ”

Followed by Li Dadong, behind me was Lao Yang, Ma Shunhong and Xiao Moye, soon came to the top of the hillside, a burst of "cooing" water sound into my ears, after a while we saw a small spring that was close to drying, the water of the spring gushed up so weakly, and the water flowing to the outside was also doubly slow and thin, suddenly, I stared closely at a water pick next to the spring, this, this is ,,,

Li Dadong picked up the sharp knife and searched back and forth, and kept scolding angrily: "Where did that ghost thing go, turtle son, let Lao Tzu see that he stabbed you to death." ”

I looked at Li Dadong in astonishment, his radical behavior made me faintly uncomfortable again, Lao Yang and Ma Shunhong didn't care, they all wondered in unison: "How could it be gone." ”

Xiao Mo Ye also picked at the gray-white stubble, and muttered repeatedly: "I obviously saw it come up before, and it usually won't go down until two or three hours later, so I let San'er take a look, I just squinted for a while, could it be that San'er didn't pay attention to seeing it." ”

I immediately stretched out my hand to stop everyone's speculation, and my mind turned sharply, and I said with some uncertainty: "The earth qi is connected below, if the drought ghost walks along the earth qi, it can say that you can go wherever you want, and the original buffalo spirit was controlled in this way, so ,,, Xiao Mo Ye said that the villagers always have nightmares, and the nightmares ,,,are not good." ”

After analyzing it like this, Xiao Mo Ye also thought of something instantly, and hurriedly shouted: "San'er, go back and see San'er." ”

Li Dadong and Ma Shunhong took the lead in rushing down the mountain, and Lao Yang and I supported the little Mo Ye and hurriedly followed, if I expected it to be good, the drought ghost should not leave, but entered the small village below, and the little Mo Ye was worried about San'er, how could a child resist the drought ghost, if it was ,,,, I didn't dare to think about it,

Xiao Mo Ye hurried down the mountain in a hurry, and cried and shouted: "San'er is the only seedling in our family, his father and mother went out to beg for food two years ago, and he hasn't come back, if San'er has a three-long and two-short, how should I, a bad old man, explain to my son and daughter-in-law, woo woo~~~"

The so-called up the mountain is easy to go down the mountain, but also with the elderly little mill, I and the old sheep walked very slowly, and Li Dadong and Ma Shunhong quickly disappeared from sight, I secretly prayed in my heart, hoping that the two of them could see San'er stay at home safe and sound, don't have anything to do, although just glanced at San'er, but from San'er's speech and demeanor, it can be seen that he is very filial to his grandfather, and can stay by his grandfather's side without sleeping in the middle of the night, it can be seen that he is a very strong and kind child, such a good child, It's already a pity to suffer in such an environment, and if there is any more three long and two short, it is really unacceptable.

When we rushed to the house, we saw that the door was wide open, presumably Li Dadong and Ma Shunhong were inside, but the house was not lit, it was pitch black, and people couldn't help but feel gallant, Xiao Mo Ye hurriedly ran forward, just about to walk in, only to see Li Dadong and Ma Shunhong walking out head-on, Xiao Mo Ye asked in a panicked voice: "What about San'er, how is San'er?" ”
