CHAPTER XXVII
This...... Is this really where people live? Yao Yirong looked at the tiled house in front of her and couldn't help but exclaim.
After a long journey of nine twists and eighteen turns, we finally came to the corner of an unknown alley. As soon as they saw the place where Grandma Zhao lived, everyone's noses swelled with a sour feeling, and they couldn't help but want to cry
In front of us, in an unknown corner behind the alley, there was a dilapidated tiled house like a dog's kennel, with thick weeds growing on both sides of the house, and several cracks in the dilapidated walls, giving the impression that it was crumbling and about to collapse at any moment.
Such a house is scary to look at, let alone live in it.
The tiled house has two bedrooms and one living room, and the roof is scattered with several large holes, and when noon comes, the scorching sun shines obliquely through the roof into the house. It's okay to say on a hot day, but if it's a rainy day, I'm afraid we'll all have to become soup chickens.
There are two small bedrooms on the left and right sides of the house, and the one on the left is full of confetti and empty beer bottles, which Grandma Zhao picked up from outside in the sun and rain.
There was a quaint little lock in the small bedroom opposite, and Grandma Zhao said that her granddaughter Shishi lived in this bedroom. In order to prevent Shishi from running around, she will lock the door with a small lock every time she goes out, so that she will feel at ease when she goes out.
"You don't know, once I forgot to lock the door and went out, but when I came back, I disappeared Shishi, and I was scared to look for it all over the street,...... Fortunately, the Bodhisattva blessed me and let me find Shishi in someone's restaurant. Grandma Zhao muttered as she took out the key and fumbled for the keyhole in the lock.
With a squeak, the door was gently pushed open, and Grandma Zhao walked in while looking around
"Shishi, Shishi, grandma is back, where are you, don't play peek-a-boo with grandma?" Grandma Zhao searched everywhere and kindly called Shishi's name.
Compared to the hall and the bedroom on the left, this small room is relatively clean. It's just that the light is still dim, and there are still a lot of clutter.
"Poetry, poetry, poetry......" Grandma Zhao called several times in a row, her expression became more and more frightened, and her tone became more and more anxious.
"Shishi shouldn't run out again, it's impossible, I obviously locked the room" looked for grandma to beat her hand anxiously
Seeing that she was so anxious, Si Lijing comforted her and said, "Grandma, don't worry, let's all help you find it, there are so many sundries in this house, and Shishi is so small, maybe she is hiding under some sundries." ”
So, we were all in this small dark house, shouting Shishi's name and looking for her.
Just as everyone was hurriedly moving away from the clutter to find Shishi, suddenly Yao Yirong screamed and grabbed my shoulders tightly.
"Under the bed...... Under the bed" Yao Yirong pointed to the bottom of the bed with a frightened expression and shouted: "There seems to be something under the bed, and when I put my hand in just now, it touched me." ”
"There's something under the bed, it shouldn't be Shishi hiding inside." I said, half-confused, and then I crouched down and looked under the bed.
The light in the room was already a little insufficient, and the bottom of the bed was even darker, and I searched under the bed with my eyes for a long time, but I still couldn't see anything.
I reached in and fumbled under the bed, and all of a sudden, I felt something grab at my arm, followed by a bone-piercing sensation coming from my arm.
"Fatty, help, something is biting me." In pain, I held on to the edge of the bed and pulled my right hand out.
The fat man hurriedly hugged my lower back, pulled it out hard, and with a bang, I was pulled by the fat man and fell to the ground, and as the two of them leaned back, the things under the bed were also pulled out by us.
To be honest, the moment I was bitten, my heart was still filled with resentment, especially when I saw the round and oozing blood tooth marks on my arm, I was even more angry.
But when I saw clearly what was being pulled out, I could see clearly who was biting me. But there was no resentment in my heart, only pity, and even, when we all saw this thing clearly, we were all stunned.
What bit me was a young girl, unkempt and dirty, her clothes covered with patches, she was huddled in a corner shivering, looking at us strangers with a frightened face
When the little girl was pulled out, Grandma Zhao's wrinkled face couldn't help crying out, holding the little girl while patting her back, comforting with concern: "Shishi is not afraid, grandma is here." ”
This immature little girl is Grandma Zhao's granddaughter Shishi.
When Grandma Zhao patted Shishi's back and comforted her, Shishi's dirty little hand also patted Grandma Zhao's back, and she was very sensible enough to wipe the tears overflowing from the corners of Grandma Zhao's eyes.
Looking at the scene of the mother-in-law and grandson comforting each other, the fat man and I couldn't help but have red eyes, and almost couldn't help crying, it seemed that something was hard in our hearts, and it was not happy not to cry.
"What a poor child!" Si Lijing sighed, walked over, and was about to hold Shishi in the hand of looking for her grandmother.
At the same time, Shishi was very vigilant and shook off Si Lijing's outstretched hands and shrank behind Grandma Zhao's back.
Perhaps because she had not been in contact with outsiders for a long time, Shishi was very afraid of life, and her childish mind resisted anyone but her grandmother, even if this person had no ill will towards her.
At this time, Yao Yirong said to Si Lijing: "I'll come." After speaking, she reached out to hug Shishi, who was hiding behind Grandma Zhao.
While stretching out her hand, she also smiled and coaxed Shishi: "Shishi, go, my sister will take you to wash the incense." ”
What is strange is that Shishi, who is very resistant to strangers, is really willing to give Yao Yirong a hug, although it is not submissive, but it is not as intense as when Si Lijing reaches out to hug her.
The fat man and I hurriedly fetched a basin of water, and Si Lijing went to buy a new set of clothes and towels. The two women began to bathe Xiao Shishi.
At first, Shishi seemed to be very resistant to taking a bath, but later Yao Yirong coaxed her several times in a soft voice before pulling her off the basin.
When Yao Yirong wiped the water traces on her body and changed into a new set of clothes, everyone in the room couldn't help but light up.
Shishi, who has changed into a new set of clothes, is like a cute little princess, with a white face and clear eyebrows. It's just that this little body is very thin, and its arms are as thin as a match.
Except for Yao Yirong and Grandma Zhao, she refused to let anyone get close to her, and her eyes were still full of vigilance when she looked at us.
"Haisheng, if you open your eyes and take a look, I don't feel like there's anything on her!" The fat man stared at me for a long time, then shouted at me
I nodded, then chanted the incantation, opening my eyes.
After opening my spiritual eyes, I was even more puzzled, because when I looked at Shishi, I saw anything related to the feminine substance in him.
"Amazing...... It's not possession, it's not an evil one? The fat man looked at it for a while, and he was also very puzzled.
"Could it be that there is some strange illness in this child, or let's take him to the hospital to have a look!" Si Lijing looked at Shishi dotingly, then turned to us and said
"Yes, look, you have to see it...... Sister Jingjing's words are simply standing out from the crowd, the finishing touch, the spring breeze in March, woke up my lost lamb......"
"Dead fatty, don't you say you're going to die?" I glared at him fiercely, goosebumps disgusted by his words, not only me, but even Yao Yirong couldn't help but hold his shoulders with his hands, and shivered very viciously, as for Si Lijing, her pretty face was slightly red when she was slapped by this sycophancy.
"What do you say" She glanced at the fat man with disgust, and the style at this glance made the fat man's eyes straight.
"Two great immortals, what kind of illness is my granddaughter?" Grandma Zhao asked anxiously on the side
"Grandma, don't worry...... "As I was saying, I suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing under my feet, making me start to cool from the soles of my feet to the heavenly spirit cover, which made my heart tighten.
"It's not good...... I yelled at the same time as the fat man, and hurriedly looked at Shishi, at this time, the fat man and I both saw this incredible scene.
I saw Shishi's immature face change slightly, the cool breeze blew her hair fluttering, she first lowered her head, then slowly raised it, and when she raised her head again, the corners of her mouth drew a strange arc, the little girl's smile should have been innocent and infectious, but Shishi's smile made people feel cold.
Not good...... Seeing that Yao Yirong was still holding her little hand, a dangerous thought flashed through my mind. However, as soon as this thought appeared, Shishi had already bitten Yao Yirong's hand viciously.
"Ah......" The sudden attack made Yao Yirong almost unable to react.
The fat man and I ran up and pulled the two of them apart, and when we pulled Yao Yirong's hand out of Shishi's mouth, a row of stinging red tooth marks appeared on Yao Yirong's wrist.
At this time, Shishi licked her mouth with a lingering taste, and then walked towards a table in the west corner of the room.
On that table were some yellow paper candles that were used for daily worship.
In our astonished gaze, Shishi's small body jumped up and down on the table, and then, she picked up one of the big red candles, took a bite vigorously, chewed slowly, and ate cumin, as if she were biting a chicken leg.
Everyone in the room was stunned, and I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, is this candle really so delicious?
With my spiritual eyes, I thought of the cool breeze blowing from the soles of my feet just now, and I naturally knew that Shishi was possessed by a spirit. It's just that this situation is really rare. We usually go to exorcise evil spirits, and when we go, the spirit has already possessed the victim, and ordinary people can't get rid of it, so we are invited to help.
But this time it was a bit of a surprise, Shishi didn't have problems for a long time after we came, but all of a sudden, she was possessed by a spirit, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.
As the fat man and I walked over to pull down the poem that was munching on the candle on the table, a voice suddenly occurred in my mind.
"Haisheng, it's her, it's her."
The voice belonged to Grandma Hong, who was hidden in one of the jade pendants in my arms.
"What is she? What are you talking about, Grandma Red? I asked, a little confused
"Do you remember what you promised me? When you accepted me as a general, you promised me that you would find a disciple for me. The more Grandma Hong spoke, the louder she became, and her tone became more and more excited.
