Before leaving, I looked at the big snake again, it was still so terrifying, it already had a stench of nasal flushing, I don't know how he tried the medicine, it shouldn't be eaten raw, no one will believe it when I say it, it's not a matter of concern to me. After discussing it, we unanimously decided to keep it a secret for him for the time being, otherwise it would cause unnecessary trouble - it would become a nightmare for the child.

It was easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, a baptism of heavy rain, the mountain road was muddy, we almost walked hand in hand, and finally went down the mountain, back to the village, the sun had already set.

"Playing secretly" for too long is inevitably scolded by parents, and I have taken it as a daily routine. At night, I lay on the bed and played with the slingshot in my hand, and now there is still a projectile left, I want to make good use of it, this matter is not over yet, I don't know if I can deal with it, I just ask Xiaobao's father to come back quickly, and the puzzle will be solved.

I got up early the next morning, and Runzi was already a "guest" at Xiaobao's house, and Xiaobao's father still hadn't returned, but the utensils needed for casting spells were ready.

Xiao Bao sat on the ground, holding in both hands the iron basin with which I had mixed earth, snake dung and well water, and then I drew a talisman with cinnabar, dipped some water on the door of his head, and then asked him to think carefully about the appearance of the loess (because Xiao Bao had not seen it with his own eyes, so Da Bao had already described what he saw to Xiao Bao). I saw Xiaobao slowly open his eyes and stared at the water in the basin.

The water in the iron basin was clearly divided up and down after precipitation, and suddenly, Xiaobao's eyes widened, and his face was flushed, as if he had seen a particularly terrifying concrete, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his skin, and he trembled.

It's not good, Xiaobao went crazy, this is also the backlash effect in Taoism, if the will is not strong enough, it is very likely to encounter danger in spellcasting. My first thought was to wake him up, but I was immediately rejected by myself, which is the same as a sleepwalker, only by waking him up on his own can he be safe, and the influence of outsiders is likely to cause even more terrible consequences.

Junko and Dabao had the same idea as I had at first, but I stopped them before they could make a move. I actually played a very dangerous move, I don't know if Xiaobao can wake up on his own if he goes on like this, if his willpower is not enough, a living life will be killed by me.

Just when I was in a dilemma, the Dao talisman on Xiaobao's head suddenly caught fire, which really startled us, because he was sweating a lot, it didn't affect it.

After the Dao talisman was burned out, Xiaobao gradually regained consciousness, no longer sweating, as if he had run fifteen thousand miles, and the whole person collapsed.

We carried him into the room, and my heart calmed down a lot.

Junko and Dabao went outside to clean up the mess, and I stayed behind to take care of it. At this time, Xiaobao seemed to see something terrible, and stared at me with wide eyes, making me uncomfortable.

I pressed his shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay, Xiaobao, it's me." ”

"Brother Twelve, am I okay, am I still alive?" Xiaobao's face was horrified.

"It's okay, it's okay, can you tell me what I just saw?"

"You didn't ...... Didn't you see it, am I the only one who sees it? ”

"Yes, only the caster can see it." I answer in the affirmative.

Xiaobao took a sharp breath and said, "I saw my father eating loess, and he was standing behind him...... There is a huge monster standing that the monster wants to ...... I want to eat my father's ....... As he spoke, Xiaobao covered his eyes with his hands and sobbed. Runzi and Dabao just walked to the door, and they were also surprised when they heard what Xiaobao said. Dabao came over to appease Xiaobao, and Runzi waved to me, signaling that he had something to say to me. "What's wrong?" I asked. Junko becomes suspicious of the spell cast. "You heard it just now, I just wanted to ask you, could what Xiaobao saw was an illusion, or that your Dao technique failed." Runzi's suspicion is not unreasonable, I have participated in the Taoist technique described in the "Thirty-six Techniques of Taoism" four times: the first time, the Nanyang corpse technique made by the "third brother", I saw it with my own eyes, and it is consistent with what is written in the book; The second time, Chiang Kai-shek's corpse capture technique, which he said was an ancestral kung fu, should be believed to be consistent with what is written in the book; The third time, the wall-breaking technique that Runko coincidentally used, although the content written in the book was vague, still had an effect; The fourth time, Xiaobao's earth eye technique under my arrangement, I prepared exactly according to the method in the book, although there was a little accident. It seems to be impeccable, but after careful analysis, there is a basic condition missing - the person who casts the spell is not me. Is there a skill in this that I haven't fully mastered? I began to doubt myself, even the book. Anyway, the matter has come to this point, and no matter how hard you dwell on this issue, you can't find a breakthrough, and now you can only hope for Xiaobao's father to verify whether what he sees is the truth. I told Junko about my idea, and Junko agreed, but how to verify it depends on whether she can find his father. I called Dabao over and asked him, "Dabao, do you know where your second uncle went two days ago?" Dabao said decisively: "I don't know, I have to ask my second aunt." "What about Xiaobao, doesn't he know either?" Junko asked. "I asked the same question just now, Xiaobao doesn't know, besides, it's our children's turn to take care of the affairs ......of adults" Dabao was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "By the way, do you think he will go to that black bamboo forest?" The black bamboo forest that Dabao said borders the back mountain, the terrain is flat, overgrown with patches of bamboo forests, because it is too dense and inconvenient to walk, few people usually pass there, and then there are scattered villages. From Mizusawa Village, we generally take the waterway, which is only twenty minutes away, so no one will be willing to seek the near and far, and the easy and difficult, unless there is a special reason, obviously Dabao's second uncle has another purpose. Dabao said this, which is not unreasonable. Without further ado, after discussion, it was decided that Dabao would stay and take care of Xiaobao, while Runzi and I would simply go to the Black Bamboo Forest to see if we could find his second uncle, and hopefully there would be no danger in Xiaobao's mouth. After leaving Xiaobao's house, we came to the mouth of the river bank and found that there was no one except for an abandoned canopy boat. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Runzi said impatiently: "What's going on today, there is no one, and usually the laundry here has to occupy a place." "Yes, oh......" I remembered that the loudspeaker was playing -- today is the day of the villagers' meeting, and each household is asked to send representatives to participate. I told Junko about this information, and he smiled helplessly. It's okay this way, no one will find out when we go out of the village, otherwise we will be asked again. There was no end to it, so I plucked a branch and tried to pull the canopy to the shore.

The bottom of the decayed canopy boat was still dripping with rain from yesterday's rainstorm, and the canopy was already broken, and the hull of the ship was badly moth-eaten, not to mention the oars. I stood on the boat and stepped on my feet, which seemed to be uncovered and stable, so I asked Junko to find two planks to use as oars, and this was the departure of the boat.
