Chapter 14: The Miracle Plaster
Under the bed in Zhai Bo's room, I found a one-foot-square black wooden box, this black wooden box seemed to be some years old, it was covered with dust, one corner of the brass corner was a little broken, and the copper lock hanging on the box was also rusty.
I didn't care about wiping the dust off the box, so I picked it up and ran back to the cheap room and handed it to Zhai Bo.
Zhai Bo took out a bunch of keys from his waist, and after trying a few times, he unscrewed the copper lock, and opened the black wooden box, and a bad pungent smell immediately came to my nose, I hurriedly covered my mouth and nose, and then looked into the wooden box, only to see that there were some bottles and cans and a few things like dog skin plasters, in addition, there was a rusty and somewhat broken bronze gossip mirror.
Uncle Zhai took out a piece of dog skin plaster from the box, and after tearing it open, he wanted to stick it on the chest of the cheap, I saw this on the side, and hurriedly stopped it: "Uncle Zhai, you have been leaving this thing for so long, can it still be good?" Why don't I go to the Chinese medicine shop next door and invite Dr. Liu to take a look. ”
Uncle Zhai didn't pay attention to me, he just put the dog skin plaster on the black mark on the cheap chest, who knew that as soon as the thing hit the cheap skin, he immediately let out a miserable scream, and then his body twitched violently.
This situation startled me, and hurriedly said: "The cheap seems to be unable to stand it, quickly tear off the dog skin plaster!" Saying that, regardless of whether Zhai Bo agreed or not, he stretched out his hand and wanted to tear it.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhai lifted the dry tobacco stick in his hand up, grabbed my outstretched hand, and pushed me to my chest violently, and immediately pushed me aside.
I only felt that my chest was pushed by him, and I really never thought that the seemingly thin Zhai Bo would have so much strength.
The appearance of the cheap person looked more and more painful, his eyes were closed, the green tendons on his temples were bursting up, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead. Look at the who is tortured by you! Don't tear it off yet! ”
Uncle Zhai turned his head and glared at me: "What do you know, his disease can only be cured by my expired dog skin plaster!" Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his words and asked, "Tell me, where did you two go last night?" ”
I didn't expect Zhai Bo to suddenly ask this, I was a little flustered, and before I could answer, he asked again: "Did you go to the southern suburbs of the county?" ”
As soon as I heard "the southern suburbs of the county", I suddenly chuckled in my heart, and said secretly: "How does this old man know that we went to the southern suburbs of the county?" Didn't you just say something to him when I went to get the medicine box? Thinking of this, I became more and more flustered, and stammered to reply, "I...... We are...... It was to go to a classmate's house, and he ...... His family lives in ...... Live in the southern suburbs of the county......"
Uncle Zhai listened, but didn't say much, but turned his head and stared at the cheap lying on the bed, looking preoccupied, and after muttering for a long time, he whispered: "Go to that place less in the future!" ”
Uncle Zhai has always been very easy-going on weekdays, I have never seen him so serious, presumably he must know something about the broken earth temple, and he can't help but be a little curious, but he didn't dare to ask more.
After about ten minutes, the cheap didn't seem to be in so much pain, and his face was obviously much softened, and the dog skin plaster on his chest actually emitted a black mist as thin as a gossamer. Seeing this, Zhai Bo grabbed his cheap wrist and checked his pulse for a while, and the brows that had been locked up finally relaxed.
He reached out and tore off the dog skin plaster, and when I saw it, the mark on the cheap man's chest had disappeared without a trace, not even a trace.
"Uncle Zhai, what kind of disease is the cheap?" I couldn't resist my curiosity, and finally mustered up the courage to ask.
"He's not sick! It's evil! Fortunately, the evil is not deep, and my exorcism post can still come in handy, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to do a magic thing. Uncle Zhai said, throwing the dog skin plaster aside.
"That'...... How could he fall for evil? I asked knowingly.
"There was an evil thing in the place at the south gate, and I guess you two happened to bump into each other last night."
"What's going on?" I pressed on.
Uncle Zhai glanced at me and said with a smile: "You stinky boy, why are you asking so much!" I'm not afraid that the boss will find out and beat you! ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately didn't dare to ask any more, and my uncle explicitly forbade me from touching this thing with the cheap, and he was not even allowed to ask more.
Zhai Bo stood up, "I have to go to see the shop, you go to have breakfast first, and I'll help the cheap guy come up later." With that, he picked up the black wooden box, turned around and limped downstairs.
At noon, Huang Yixian came back from the countryside. As soon as Zhai Bo saw Huang Yixian, he muttered in his ear for a long time, and Huang Yixian's face became more and more ugly. When I saw it from afar, I couldn't stop beating wildly in my heart, and I didn't know what Uncle Zhai told him, if he knew that I and the cheap didn't come home until ten o'clock last night, he would have to beat me up.
However, after Zhai Bo muttered, Huang Yixian did not call me over, but went upstairs and walked into the cheap room, at this time the cheap is no big deal, maybe he didn't sleep well last night, plus the toss in the morning, his body is still a little weak, so he is lying on the bed to sleep, Huang Yixian walked over, without saying a word, he lifted the cheap clothes to check his chest, and then took the pulse for him for a while, after making sure that he was indeed fine, he was relieved.
I stood outside the cheap door, not daring to enter, Huang Yixian came out of the cheap house, glanced at me, and said, "You come with me, I have something to ask you!" His tone was rather calm, which eased my clenched heart a little.
I followed Huang Yixian into the study, and now I was completely relaxed, because all the things in the study were Huang Yixian's baby bumps, and he was afraid that he would accidentally break them, so he would never beat me in the study.
"You went to the southern suburbs of the county yesterday?" As soon as he entered the door, Huang Yixian asked straight to the point.
I guessed that Uncle Zhai must have already told him, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he had to nod his head.
"Did you see a land temple on the road?"
I nodded again, but I immediately regretted it, the land temple in the south of the city had been abandoned for many years, and now it has long been a garbage dump, and it is generally difficult to see that it is a land temple. And now I tell Huang Yixian that I have seen the Land Temple, isn't it exposed!
My mind turned, and I quickly explained: "That land temple has become a garbage dump, or did my classmates tell us that it used to be a land temple?" ”
"Turned into a garbage dump?" Huang Yixian looked a little surprised, but then regained his expression and asked again: "So, next to that land temple, is there a peach tree?" ”
I never thought that Huang Yixian would actually ask about the peach tree, his head was "buzzing" and it was big, but he felt that his cheeks were hot for a while, and he was so nervous that he didn't know how to answer.
Huang Yixian noticed that my expression was wrong, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "You stinky boy, is there something hidden from me?" Say it quickly, or I'll break your legs!" ”
I categorically didn't dare to say that I was secretly making a peach wood sword with the cheap, but if I didn't explain anything now, it seemed that I couldn't pass Huang Yixian's level, and in a hurry, I had to say: "We have a classmate who has a good time living in the southern suburbs, and his family is relatively poor, so I want to pick some peaches and sell peach pits, and yesterday we went to help him pick peaches!" We saw that the peach tree next to the land temple had a lot of peaches, and we picked them there, but because the tree was too tall to reach the top, it was ...... So we're ...... So he sawed down the whole tree......"
"What!" After listening to me, Huang Yixian's face changed greatly, he picked up a trick on the desk, held it high above his head, and made a gesture of wanting to smash me, but he glanced at the trick and put it down gently, it was a white jade trick, it must be worth a lot, and he was reluctant to start. Moreover, in fact, I also know that he is just scaring me, not to mention that this is in the study, even if he really wants to beat me, he will not hit me like this, in fact, there is still a set of rules, every time I kneel in front of the portrait of the ancestor of this sect and kowtow to admit my mistake, and he must have hit me with that ruler, in his words, he is not my master after all, so he can't hit me casually, but the ruler was given to him by the master, and using it to beat me is equivalent to teaching the apprentice for the master.
Even though I knew he was just scaring me, I was so nervous that I hung my head and didn't dare to come out.
Huang Yixian paced back and forth in the room in a few angry circles, and suddenly stopped and yelled at me: "Do you know how much trouble you stinky boys have caused!?" ”
I buried my head lower, not daring to look up at him, let alone answering.
However, although he was very angry, he didn't seem to have any intention of beating me, because he never asked me to kowtow in front of Master Zu to admit my mistake.
After a long while, Huang Yixian sighed and said, "Alas, it's no wonder that you guys, you don't understand these things, just go out first, and help me call Uncle Zhai." ”
I was relieved, and quickly slipped out of the study, who knew that as soon as I went out, I bumped into Uncle Zhai head-on, because I was just thinking about walking quickly, I didn't pay attention at all, and Uncle Zhai almost collided.
Don't look at Zhai Bo's thin body, and he was lame on one leg, he was hit by me so inertia, but nothing happened, but I was hit and stumbled, and my feet just tripped on the threshold, and I almost fell, but fortunately, Zhai Bo's eyes were quick and grabbed my collar.
