Chapter 199: Rising the Altar
0403000000000000 When I returned to Hekou Village, it was already a sparse moon.
Grandpa was smoking a dry cigarette and stood at the door waiting for me with a stern expression: "Xiao Qi, why are you only coming back now?" "
See grandpa. The stone hanging in my heart fell to the ground at once, and the breath in my heart was slashed, and the whole person could no longer stand steadily, and stumbled and fell into my grandfather's arms. Only shouted one word: "Master!" He was so tired that he closed his eyes.
Grandpa quickly carried me back to the bedroom, laid me flat on the bed, and then pushed the blood for me.
After a few moments, I finally came to my senses and opened my eyes.
"Are you feeling better?" Grandpa asked kindly.
I nodded, feeling my throat dry as if it were burning: "Water"
Grandpa brought me a cup of cold boil and carefully helped me up. I craned my neck and poured a large glass of cold white into my stomach.
Looking at the blood on my knees and arms, my grandfather asked me, "How did this happen?" Got a stumble? "
I recalled the strange things I encountered in the coffin forest. I couldn't help but shudder: "It's a ghost!" "
"Got a ghost?" Grandpa was slightly surprised: "What's the matter?" Tell me about it! "
I said to my grandfather in detail: "I found the coffin forest on Laojun Mountain, and there are many coffins in the coffin forest. The way those coffins were buried was peculiar. It is not buried horizontally in the soil, but like a turnip, it is stuck upside down in the soil.
I opened several coffins in a row, but I didn't find the coffin fungus. Later I saw a most luxurious coffin, and I guessed that it might contain the body of a bandit leader. Who knew that when the coffin was opened, it contained the body of a red-haired monkey, and the monkey rolled its white eyes, looking particularly terrifying.
I managed to find the coffin fungus in this coffin, so I closed the lid and prepared to leave. I didn't expect the lid of the coffin to open on its own, and after repeating it, I felt very scared, and I wanted to escape from the coffin forest as soon as possible. I don't know if I encountered a ghost covering my eyes, I couldn't run out, and I kept walking around in the coffin forest.
What's even more terrifying is that the dead red-haired monkey actually ran out of the coffin, and kept chasing me, chasing me. Luckily, I was almost bitten to death by it! "
Grandpa's face turned pale, and after a while, he patted me on the shoulder: "Xiao Qi, you can walk out of the coffin forest and come back safe and sound, you have done a very good job, and it can be regarded as the entry test of our river patrol people!" "
"What? Getting started? I was stunned.
Grandpa nodded: "Yes! If you can't break through the coffin forest, then what mission is there to talk about, what is the big thing to talk about! You have to remember that what you encounter in the future will be ten, hundred, or even a thousand times more terrible than what you encounter today! "
I suddenly understood my grandfather's good intentions, and he deliberately let me go to the coffin forest alone, in fact, he wanted to test me. Luckily, I didn't disappoint my grandfather. Although I was a little wolf, I finally got out of it, and I felt that I could give myself a score of seventy.
"Hungry? Get up and eat! Grandpa said.
I was a little hungry and rolled over from my bed and got up.
The dinner was very rich, and my grandfather made a pot of braised fish with red-billed carp, which was fragrant and spicy and drooling.
Grandpa took a sip of wine and said to me, "The red-haired monkey you just mentioned should be a mandrill!" "
"Mandrill?! What is it? "I'm curious.
Grandpa threw a peanut in his mouth: "A kind of wild ghost wandering in the mountains and forests, with a lot of resentment!" "
After a pause, the grandfather continued: "And the way you said about the coffin burial, all of them are inserted upside down in the soil, which is called vertical burial, and does the dead body in it show the posture of head and foot?" "
I thought about it for a moment and nodded, "That's right!" The skeletons in the coffin were all head and foot, with their heads stuck in the dirt and their feet facing the sky! "
"That's it!" Grandpa bowed his head slightly and explained to me: "Vertical burial is also called closed soul burial!" The bandits in these coffins were all outlaws before their deaths, their hands were stained with blood, and the resentment on their bodies was very heavy, and they were easy to become murderous corpses or ghosts after death! It is said that people's souls enter and exit from the Heavenly Spirit Cave on the top of their heads, and if they bury their heads in the soil like this, the souls in their bodies will naturally not be able to come out, and they will not be able to become powerful ghosts! "
I sighed, and suddenly realized, I said that why the way those coffins were buried was so peculiar, it turned out to be exquisite.
Grandpa put down his wine glass and said, "It seems that the master who presided over the funeral for those bandits was a good person!" If he was a gangster, he could use the corpses of these bandits to practice evil arts and do evil! "
After dinner, I began to treat Lao Jiu.
Following my grandfather's instructions, I put two red-billed carp in clean water, then threw the coffin mushrooms into the pot and boiled them with the carp. The fire under the stove was blazing, and the water in the iron pot heated up quickly. As the water temperature rises, the silver carp in the pot becomes restless and begins to gulp and devour the coffin fungus floating on the water.
Grandpa said: "The temperature of the water in the pot rises, the carp is hot and unbearable, and the coffin fungus is a yin and evil thing, so the carp will involuntarily devour the coffin fungus to relieve the heat in the body!" "
After a while, the water in the pot gurgled and boiled, and the two carps soon couldn't swim anymore and floated on the surface with snow-white bellies. They have eaten a lot of coffin mushrooms, and their bellies are bulging.
Grandpa asked me to turn the heat down, and simmered like this for an hour, when I opened the lid, the two red-billed carp and the coffin mushrooms were stewed to a pulp, the soup was extremely white, and the aroma of the fish meat was mixed with the fragrance of the coffin mushrooms, and it became a strange fragrance that came to my nose, and my hara flowed down.
Grandpa took a bowl of fish soup, took out the breast milk from the refrigerator, poured the breast milk into the soup and stirred well, which allowed me to summon Lao Jiu out.
I patted my neck: "Hey, Lao Jiu, don't sleep, wake up, let's eat!" "
The blood flashed, Lao Jiu appeared on the stove, he lay on the edge of the bowl, stretched out his nose and sniffed vigorously, and croaked happily: "Isn't it really fragrant"
Speaking of this, Lao Jiu couldn't wait to pick up the porcelain bowl with his little hands, raised his neck, poured a bowl of fish soup into his stomach, and then wiped his mouth with a sigh of relief, knocking on the empty bowl and looking at me pitifully: "Dad, I still want to eat!" Daddy, I'm going to eat more! "
Grandpa joked on the side: "Xiao Qi, don't say it, this Lao Jiu really looks like your child, look at this eating posture, it's exactly the same as you!" "Sarcastic Girl.
My little face turned red: "Master, can we not make such jokes?" "
Grandpa smiled, turned his head to Lao Jiu Zhengse and said: "Lao Jiu, this is medicine, not food, drink a bowl every morning, noon and evening, and drink it for three days in a row to cure your big head disease!" "
"Oh!" Lao Jiu touched his stomach and said with an aggrieved face: "But people haven't eaten yet!" "
As soon as he said this, Lao Jiu suddenly raised his head, and before I could come back to my senses, I saw a flash of red light, and Lao Jiu was already sitting in the steamer, cross-legged, grabbed a handful of white rice, and swallowed it in a big gulp.
I frowned: "Master, what does this guy eat every day?" "
Grandpa said, "Just like people, you can eat anything!" He eats whatever you eat! But his nutrients are mainly absorbed from your body! "
"What?!" I reflexively clutched my chest, took two steps back, and looked shocked: "Master, what do you mean when you say he wants to absorb my nutrients?" He's not going to let me breastfeed, is he? "
The corners of Grandpa's mouth twitched twice: "Well, theoretically it shouldn't be!" Xiao Qi, I mean, Lao Jiu is connected to your blood, and the nutrients for his growth need to be absorbed from your body, so you have to strengthen your body, eat more nutritious products, and grow strong, Lao Jiu will also grow strong, and the ghost power will increase day by day! "
"Oh, it scared the hell out of me!" I patted my flat chest, it's okay to be a father, if I were to be a mother again, I'd rather die headbutt.
For the next three days, I fed the fish soup three times a day in the morning, noon and evening for Lao Jiu to drink.
It's strange to say, three days have passed, Lao Jiu's huge head is like a deflated balloon, it has become smaller and normal, and it is no longer the big-headed monster baby. Except for his pale face, overall, he is still a handsome little boy.
After feeding Lao Jiu's last bowl of soup, I was about to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes, when I saw a figure stumbling in from outside, shouting anxiously at the top of his voice: "Third master!" Third master, are you at home? "
