endured hunger, and suffered until the evening Jin Wuxi sank, and the jade rabbit rose.

Wuchen took me and Luo Shicheng to the Lu family's house in Jinan. The granary was empty, there was nothing.

"Shall we cast a spell in the granary?" the granary was very closed, and it was very oppressive to hold a torch inside.

"How is it possible," Wuchen said, "to have rats bring food here later, you won't feel panicked by tens of thousands of rats scurrying around you?"

I held up the torch and asked Wuchen to put a talisman on the four walls of the entire granary. Sprinkled a circle of musk on the ground before the three of us retreated outside the warehouse, waiting for the dustless to cast a spell.

It seems that those traditional Taoist methods, the props launched are also relatively fixed and unified. It's just that the lines drawn on the Dao Talisman are different, and I don't know what the scientific basis for this is.

Anyway, just looking at Wuchen lit the Dao talisman there and chanted words, he didn't see any movement in the yard.

After about fifteen minutes, I couldn't help it: "I said, is your formation really good, it's been so long, and no rats have come over with food on their backs." ”

"Don't make any noise, I'm also a big girl who has been on the sedan chair once," Wuchen stopped chanting a mantra, turned around and whispered to me, "Have you seen any Taoist priest do this kind of thing." It doesn't make sense, there is no problem with the formation. So what's the problem?"

"Don't make a sound!" Luo Shicheng suddenly shouted at the two of us.

His martial arts ears should be much more sensitive than me and Wuchen's, and he may have heard some sounds that we couldn't perceive. So we honestly opened our ears to hear what it was.

After a minute, I finally heard the sound of rustling. It must have come from outside the gate.

"Are the rats all blocked by the gates?" I said, "Do you want to open the door for them?"

Wuchen glanced at me, didn't say anything, but walked straight to the gate. The street door of the Lu family's mansion is very large and heavy, and there is basically no gap between the two doors. Rich people are just particular, and they can't do anything if they want to see what is going on outside through the crack in the door.

Although he scoffed at my suggestion to open the door, Wuchen still put his two hands on the latch, and the gesture was also about to be opened.

"Wait. Luo Shicheng stretched out his hand to block Wuchen's arm, and by the way, pushed me and Wuchen back a meter away.

The gate is not light-permeable, but it is not soundproof. I heard the sound of rustling outside the door even louder, although it wasn't as loud as the last time I caught mice, and it wasn't much the same. Occasionally, there was the cry of rats, not so much as screams, but with the cries of excitement.

"Take it easy, if you open the door and they pounce on us, make sure we don't get gnawed to the scum. ”

There are many such scenes in European and American movies, and the insects do not grow anywhere. It's goosebumps just thinking about it. As soon as I said this, Luo Shicheng didn't dare to open the door. The three of us were in the door, looking at each other, waiting for something to happen.

There was a dull knock on the door, which scared all three of us to take a step back.

"Do you hear that?" said to me, "Yes...... Didn't someone knock on the door?" he said.

How could anyone knock on the door? At this time, there was a curfew in Jinan City, and only the soldiers patrolling the city were walking outside. And those soldiers didn't know that the three of us were in the Lu family's mansion.

"You heard me wrong, I guess the rats are starting to bang on the door. ”

Now we forgot about driving the rats to carry the food, and we guessed with worry what was going on outside.

Luo Shicheng still held his breath, made a silent gesture to the two of us, leaned his face in front of the door, and asked, "Who is it?"

There was another "popping" sound, and this time we heard it clearly, it was a knock on the door. This rat has become a sperm, and he knows how to knock on the door. Also, how big a rat is that can stand up and knock on the door.

"A blind man, open the door. ”

That hoarse voice made me believe that it belonged to hell.

"Is there really a rat spirit?" I couldn't help but say.

Listening to the sound of talking outside, Luo Shicheng was much more stable, and he stretched out his hand to open the latch of the door, and was about to open the door.

"I'll take precautions. Wuchen stopped Luo Shicheng this time, and first sprinkled a line with cinnabar on the ground at the door. After sprinkling, let Luo Shicheng open the door.

As the door slowly opened, the first thing that caught your eye was a figure. Wuchen and I held torches, looking outside in a trance, and only one figure could be seen.

"Who is coming, pretending to be a ghost. Luo Shicheng pointed at the figure with his sword and said coldly.

However, his words were quickly suppressed by a tsunami-like agitation outside. I couldn't see it, but I could feel that there were thousands of rats behind the man, who was less than three feet long.

"Demon!" Wuchen also panicked, holding a Dao talisman in his hand, and was about to throw it out. The gate just now not only blocked the rats outside, but also blocked our panic. Now I'm cold on my hands and feet, frightened by the swarm of rats that I can't see outside. Maybe it's a compliment to intensive phobia.

"Don't bother, I'm a human, not a ghost. "It's still the same hoarse voice. But this time, it's sure to be the figure outside.

Luo Shicheng snatched the torch from my hand and handed it to the figure. In an instant, the man became clear.

It's okay not to watch it, but at most I'm panicking. Seeing the true face of the figure, not only was I afraid and panicked, but I also had a feeling that I couldn't vomit.

The person in front of him was wearing a tattered gown, and I don't know if it was dirty or black. The hair was like withered grass, pinches after pinches. And it's a Reilly head, and it's still yellow where there is no hair. A pair of eyes were motionless in the firelight, glowing with the whiteness of a fish's belly, and he should be blind. The shoulders were empty, and there were no arms at all. The belly was surprisingly big, like a child who was seven or eight months pregnant.

This man was not born a dwarf, but his legs, like his arms, were also severed. Looking further down, there are actually several layers of rats stacked on top of each other, and the lowest rat should be responsible for walking.

"What are you going to do?"

Wuchen and I can't stand it anymore, so we can only let Luo Shicheng be fully responsible for the communication.

"I still want to ask you, what do you want to do with the guy who has tried to kill me for food and life five times!"

It was fine that he didn't speak, and when he spoke, I saw that his tongue was also cut off in front of the torch. This is how much hatred he has to have to make him a "human being". I also want to gouge out my eyes and cut my tongue, I really want him to never recover.

"Come in and talk. Luo Shicheng heard that there were patrolling soldiers coming from afar, so he made a way for this "human biao" to come in.

I also want to see how he crossed this threshold.

Hundreds of rats built a ramp between the top of the threshold and the ground, and then hundreds of rats climbed over the threshold and built another ramp on the other side. The rat under the man's buttocks began to carry the man forward. It's also well-trained, and the rats are densely packed together without bumping into each other.

It only took a minute for the people to get inside the gate. Luo Shicheng and Wuchen closed the door, and the mice outside seemed to be all gone in an instant. I couldn't stand the smell of the man, so I ran to the side and retched. My stomach is empty, and I really can't even vomit sour water.

"These rats are at your command?"

"That's nature. ”

"How did you do that?" Wuchen is more interested in the technical level.

"It's an exorcism that I've passed down from my family, just like you can drive ghosts, I can drive everything. ”

"Humans, too?" I asked.

The head of the person was tilted, as if he was looking for me, "Hmph, people's hearts are too complicated and sinister, how can they be so easy to control." ”

It's good if you can't control people. Having said that, if he could control people, he wouldn't be made Chengren.

"How did you find here?"

"You brought me here. ”

"What about the grain?" I asked.

"Grain? How can I get them to bring it over. ”

This man is like the leader of the rats, directing the rats to do anything.

"So you said that the tens of thousands of catties of grain in this granary were all stolen by the rats under your command?" Wuchen then asked.

"Yes and no. ”
