Chapter Twenty-Seven: Scared Soul
Zhao Xiaoliang told me: "Chen Rui is in 214, I heard that Wang Xin has a little fever, she went over to take a look." ”
"Wang Xin has a fever?" My heart sank suddenly: "Is it serious? ”
Zhao Xiaoqian shook his head: "I haven't gone over yet, I'm going to go after packing up." So I don't know, I guess it's okay, right? When Leng Hanbing came over just now and asked who brought antipyretics, he said that he might have caught a cold while sleeping on the mountain. ”
"I see." I nodded, "Then I'll go over and take a look." ”
"Okay, let's go!" After Zhao Xiaoliang finished speaking, he immediately admonished: "I want strawberry flavor in the sundae!" ”
Room 214 was right across the stairs, and there were already several people in it when I entered.
In addition to Leng Hanbing and Chen Rui, there are also Xie Bowen and his second aunt.
I glanced at Xie Bowen in surprise: "Are you done?" ”
Xie Bowen nodded with a cold face: "I asked Liu Chao to help get it, and I heard that Wang Xin had a fever as soon as I came back, so why don't I hurry over and take a look." ”
I asked, "Who is Liu Chao?" ”
"My child." The proprietress interjected: "I am cousins with UBM, and I took the high school entrance examination with you this time, and I went with UBM to take the exam." ”
I exclaimed: "You are also admitted to the provincial key?" ”
"Be quiet!" Leng Hanbing said a little unhappily: "Don't wake up Wang Xin!" ”
The proprietress nodded at me. Alas! I sighed with envy and jealousy in my heart. If it weren't for Huang Tianchou, I might have been able to get in.
Glancing at Wang Xin, who was lying on the bed with a blushing face, I asked the proprietress softly, "How is Wang Xin?" ”
The proprietress whispered, "It's okay, I'm sleepy after taking the antipyretics." Let her sleep for a while. ”
Leng Hanbing glanced at us and said, "I have to take care of her here, there are no need for so many people, you guys can get busy." ”
Chen Rui said to Leng Hanbing: "Why don't I accompany you?" ”
"No need." Leng Hanbing glanced at me: "What should you do, why do you go!" ”
Chen Rui hesitated for a moment and said to her, "Okay, if you have something, call me." ”
"Got it!" Leng Hanbing smiled at Chen Rui: "Beauty, get busy with your go." ”
The four of us exited the guest room together, and Xie Bowen asked his second aunt: "Second aunt, do you think Wang Xin has food poisoning?" ”
The proprietress was surprised and said, "Can't you?" Food poisoning is not allowed to vomit and diarrhea. Isn't she just having a fever? Didn't toss...... I guess it's a cold, right? ”
Xie Bowen told his second aunt that Wang Xin had slept all afternoon and couldn't wake up no matter how much he screamed.
His second aunt thought for a moment and said, "Hearing you say this, why does this child seem to be scared." Where did you take them to play? ”
Xie Bowen said helplessly: "I didn't go anywhere, I went directly to Niangniang Lake, and then moved freely, but she came back and that's it." ”
"Niangniang Lake?" The proprietress groaned: "Don't bump into the fox fairy, right?" ”
Xie Bowen sighed: "Second aunt, what should you be busy with!" ”
said that, he was going to push his second aunt away. was stopped by Chen Rui: "Wait a minute! Second aunt, what do you mean by colliding with the fox fairy? ”
I glanced at Chen Rui, didn't she still suspect Hu Feixue?
The proprietress laughed: "This is all superstitious, you students don't believe this, and you don't let you say it!" ”
"No, no, don't listen to him, we believe it." I smiled and said to the proprietress "Tell me about it, let's just chat!" ”
When the proprietress heard this, she nodded: "Okay then!" In fact, it's nothing, it's just that there has always been a fox fairy on our mountain, but no one has ever seen it. But if anyone makes a disturbance or something, they will go to Niangniang Lake to worship. If there is anything, I will go to Niangniang Lake, anyway, it is very smart, but it is not 100% good. ”
Xie Bowen impatiently said to his second aunt: "You just preach feudal superstition!" ”
"Don't talk yet!" After I finished talking to Xie Bowen, I turned my head and asked the proprietress: "Wang Xin, you just said that you were scared, is there any way to call the soul?" ”
The proprietress looked at Xie Bowen in embarrassment and did not speak.
Chen Rui and I put pressure on Xie Bowen with his eyes, he looked at us, and finally nodded: "Then I don't care, you guys are light, don't let our classmates know!" I don't want to get involved with you about this, I'll go to Liu Chao! ”
As soon as Xie Bowen left, the proprietress immediately came to the spirit and took us to the room where the waiter stayed, in fact, there were no waiters at all, and the two of them were busy in the whole hotel.
Sitting down, the proprietress said to us, "Our town is small, but it's quite magical. In fact, he knows all these legends, and he grew up here when he was a child, can you not know? There was really a fox fairy in the town, and the mountain was not very peaceful, there used to be a group of bearded people (bandits) on the mountain, and then the Kuomintang blew up the nest, and none of those bearded dozens of people ran out. Therefore, from January to July 15 every year, every household in our town has to burn paper money, and whoever does not burn it will ensure that something happens. It is said that it is the unjust soul of the beard on the mountain who made trouble. ”
I rubbed my eyebrows helplessly, smiled wryly and said to the proprietress: "Second aunt, let's not tell a story today, let's talk about Wang Xin, do you have a way to deal with it?" ”
Dead horses should be doctors of live horses! Who knows if she really lost her soul or was borrowed, now Hu Feixue and Huang Tianchou can't be contacted, and I have to find an experienced adult like the boss lady to deal with it.
The proprietress nodded when she heard this: "I will call the soul, and I will call her at night." In the past, this mountain was really peaceful, but during Halloween, there would be a commotion in the town, but there was nothing wrong with the mountain. And at the beginning, when we didn't build roads in the town, we had to walk the mountain roads to go out, and I didn't hear of anyone who had an accident in the mountains. In recent years, this mountain has not stopped, there are old ladies in the town picking mushrooms or wild vegetables or something, several times have encountered ghosts hitting the wall, saying that nothing can get out, and when you finally find it, guess where to stay? ”
Chen Rui really gave face, and interacted with the proprietress and said, "Where did you find it?" ”
The proprietress said mysteriously, "Go around the tree!" Tell me, isn't it evil? ”
I nodded and said, "Xie Bowen also said that this mountain is fine, I knew how we could run here, don't you die!" ”
"He didn't know what was going on." The proprietress took her nephew out: "He hasn't been back for many years." Before, when he was a child, this mountain was good, and he didn't take it away when he walked around. It's not too big for the child to go up, and when it's time to eat, he can go around, and they all say that this is blessed by the fox fairy by Niangniang Lake. In the past two years, I don't know what's wrong, and the fox fairy won't bless it. ”
I glanced at Chen Rui and saw that she wanted to leave, so I smiled and said to the proprietress with a smile: "Second aunt, let's go out for a walk, and I'll trouble you Wang Xin to call her soul at night." Is there anything we need to bring back? ”
The proprietress waved her hand: "You don't know what's going on, I'll go to Mrs. Liu's house for a while, and I'll burn it for Wang Xin at night." ”
I asked in surprise, "This old Mrs. Liu...... What is it for? ”
She ...... Didn't you do anything? The proprietress said: "It's just an ordinary rural old lady, who can calculate and treat some surgical diseases (virtual diseases), but she is not accurate, and no one looks for her." But she wrote this soul code very well, whose child was frightened, crying at night, just ask her to write one! ”
Chen Rui was careful and asked, "Do you need money or anything?" ”
"No, no, no!" The proprietress smiled and waved her hand: "Old Mrs. Liu is alone, and her legs and feet are not good." She can't go out to buy anything if she gives her money, so she will be happier when I get her a few boiled eggs, happier than giving her money. ”
Hearing her say this, Chen Rui had no choice but to nod: "Okay, it's troublesome for the second aunt." ”
The proprietress said very enthusiastically: "Where do you say, you are a classmate of Erudite, just like my own nephew, what are you doing as a family?" ”
In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and it is more than seven o'clock, and the sky is not dark.
Coming out of the hotel, Chen Rui asked me what I thought.
I shook my head and told her, "I don't have any ideas. It would be best if someone who understood could show Wang Xin. ”
"Didn't you say that Wang Xin was borrowed?" Chen Rui asked me with big black eyes.
I pouted: "That's what I said about the horse, and who borrowed it, whether it was borrowed or not, this is all my guess." Li Ru said the same as the second aunt, saying that Wang Xin might be scared, and now I think maybe she was scared. Let's take a look at it at night and see if the second aunt can get better after calling her soul. ”
Chen Rui nodded with a worried face: "That's the only way." ”
The two of us wandered around the town aimlessly, feeling the customs and customs here.
Although it is not far from the city, it is like a paradise.
The mountains block the hustle and bustle of the city and the dust brought by the traffic, and the town is quiet and peaceful.
As soon as I told Chen Rui about my feelings, she burst out laughing: "Do you know why you feel like here?" ”
I shook my head: "I don't know! ”
"Don't you see that this is a left-behind village?" Chen Rui said with a smile: "Except for the old man, it's a child, it's strange if you don't stop." This place is indeed like the paradise you said, with yellow hair hanging down and enjoying yourself! ”
My eyebrows wrinkled into eight figures, and I was embarrassed for a moment, it seems that I can't show off my feelings in front of Xueba in the future, this is to make myself uncomfortable.
Remembering that Xiao Liang asked me to buy her a sundae, I pulled Chen Rui and walked back again, looking for the intersection that Xiao Liang said.
In fact, where is it as easy to find as Xiao Liang described, there is a sign more than a big one in an inconspicuous alley, which is obviously written as a popsicle, and she also said that it is a cold drink, it is strange that there can be a sundae in this place!
Chen Rui and I walked in and walked to the "popsicle", and found that it was still a family, not even a storefront.
There was only a small window, and I knocked on it, and someone inside answered: "Here we are!" What to buy? ”
As soon as the small window opened, a woman's bewitching face stretched out, originally I was talking to Chen Rui with a smile, but when I turned around and saw this long face, I was immediately shocked, how could it be her!
