Chapter 115: Goblins

On the train home, due to his grandfather's current health, the third uncle took the money given by Zhu Feng to buy a sleeper ticket, although it was clean, but the atmosphere along the way was dead, even Zhou Wenwu, who had always been a hanger, was silent!

It wasn't until we got off the train and arrived at the boundary of Kaifeng that our mood improved slightly, looking at the familiar scenery along the way, and unconsciously arrived at the county seat, and the third uncle hired a car for the first time to drive us home!

After a day of repair, the next day the third uncle went to the hospital again, the responsibility of taking care of grandpa fell on me and Zhou Wenwu, grandpa had a poison attack at night, we could only try our best to relieve his pain, and in the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was dark, grandpa came out accidentally, I asked him what he was doing, he didn't want to go into detail, just said that he wanted to prepare for the luck of the accident, and didn't let me and Zhou Wenwu follow!

Helplessly, the two of us can't refute anything, just tell grandpa to come back before the evening, a boring day of waiting, in the evening, grandpa came back on time, just brought one more thing, a white-haired mouse with white hair, a body size is a few points bigger than the yellow skin!

It was wrapped around the ink fountain thread all over, and was carried by the grandfather, with white hair like snow, even bigger than the yellow-skinned mice I saw in the coffin of the purple river, and the eyes of the white-haired mouse were already scarlet, Zhou Wenwu and I were both shocked when we saw this, and when we came closer, this white-haired mouse looked at us with a pair of scarlet eyes, but there was no fear!

"Master! Where did you catch such a big mouse! ”

"Yes, master, I'm afraid this mouse is only a mouse king! Seeing it like this, it must have passed the Tao, this kind of thing has a narrow heart, and if it offends it, it will be retaliated by the Manchus! What are you doing with it! ”

Zhou Wenwu and I both showed doubts, but the corner of my grandfather's mouth was a little smiling, he looked at the white-haired mouse in his hand, his eyes were very satisfied, and said: "Catching it comes from its use!" You don't have to watch over me tonight! When the time comes, they wait in the yard and catch any rats they see, but remember, don't hurt them, just take the fat from their belly! ”

After that, Grandpa stretched out his hand and handed over an object, which was a slender embroidered copper needle!

Although I don't know why, I still took it, and after dinner, my grandfather took the white-haired mouse back to the house, and told me and Zhou Wenwu to guard it! The two of us had no choice but to do as we were told, and we were all ready for the guys who were sitting in the courtyard and catching rats! It's just that there was no movement for several hours, and seeing that the night was getting deeper, Zhou Wenwu and I couldn't help but take a nap!

But before I could fall asleep, as soon as the hour came, there was movement at the gate of the courtyard, and something was rapidly gnawing at the wooden door!

"Monk! It seems to be coming! ”

"Ah!? Where? ”

I called Zhou Wenwu, he also woke up suddenly, stood up with the wooden stick in his hand, I pointed to the location of the courtyard gate, just signaled him to step forward with me, I saw that a hole was suddenly broken under the wooden door, and the next moment, a mouse the size of corn crawled in!

"Hey! It's really coming... ”

The two of us waited for half the night, and couldn't help but feel energetic when they saw this, but before Zhou Wenwu finished speaking, the hole that had just been broken on the wooden door was constantly expanding, just by talking, more than 20 rushed in, and with the slight tremor of the wooden door, there seemed to be not a few rats here!

"What the hell! I said I had to use this big basin! ”

Zhou Wenwu directly threw the wooden stick in his hand, picked up the large iron basin on the side and buckled it, seeing this, I also threw the broom in my hand, picked up the hemp bag on the side and went to the rats!

And in just a moment, there were more than 100 rats rushing into the yard!

"Hurry, hurry! Stop them! ”

Zhou Wenwu and I kept catching these rats left and right, and my grandfather explained that we should not hurt their lives, so the two of us did not dare to kill them, and these rats also seemed to have an obsession, and they all rushed towards the room where Grandpa was, and the interception of the two of us was unmoved, and some even jumped directly on us and rushed to the room! In this way, although there are many rats, there is no threat, and after the initial panic, Zhou Wenwu and I also completely let go of our hands and feet, and stood in front of the door to shake the rat army!

After nearly ten minutes of fierce fighting, the rat swarm finally stopped, and it was actually filled with four bags of marijuana by the two of us!

It wasn't until we were sure that there was no more 'fish that slipped through the net', the two of us sat down on the ground and gasped for breath, and after resting, I beckoned Zhou Wenwu to take a basin, carefully loosened the gap, and caught a mouse out!

With the copper needle in my hand, I motioned to Zhou Wenwu to stretch the limbs of the mouse, stabbed a needle in the center of its lower abdomen, and then squeezed it hard, and a drop of pale yellow liquid flowed out!

However, even the rat that I didn't fight back when I captured it struggled frantically after I squeezed out the drop, baring its fangs and trying to attack! Zhou Wenwu hurriedly threw it aside, the mouse finally got out, and hurriedly fled outside the courtyard, but after being squeezed through, it seemed to have lost its soul, and it didn't know the direction, and hit the courtyard wall several times in succession, before crawling out of the hole that was close at hand!

"What is this? This rat seems to be crazy, and it almost bit me! ”

"Rat oil! Or rather, goblins! "I explained, all things are psychic, all have a qualitative, fox yellow, white willow gray five immortals is one of the best, the mouse can have the gray fairy position has its own extraordinary power, if than the Tao practice, the rat spirit may not be as good as others, but when the rat returns to the child, when the yin is at its peak, it is the great yin in the yin and yang, and it is placed in the heaven and earth, it belongs to the earth! It is in harmony with its sex!

The reason why rats can act like electricity at night is not only because of its own body structure, but also because of Yi Liyan, rats are derived from earth qi, and they have earth spirit qi in their bodies, which will gather into rat oil over time!

The rarity of rat oil, if you are not proficient in Zhou Yi, it is difficult to understand, and in popular terms, ordinary warlocks call it rat spirit, which is synonymous with human essence!

But all rats, once they are taken from the rat oil, they are all soulless, as if they have destroyed the body's functions, and this alone makes this rat oil not as simple as rat spirits!

However, although rat oil is precious, few people know what it is used for, in fact, even I don't know, this is the first time in my life!

But since grandpa ordered so, Zhou Wenwu and I had no choice but to do it, but there were too many mice caught tonight, according to my estimation, the rats in ten miles and eight villages should have been attracted over, even if the two of us stayed up all night, they only took a sack!

When the sky gradually brightened, they couldn't support it, and they each leaned against the wall and squinted, but before they slept for long, the door of Grandpa's room opened, and a light smoke came out first, Grandpa lowered his head, bent over and walked out slowly, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that there will be a day when I will do this kind of thing in this life!" ”

Although Sun Ban's Gu poison did not directly kill his grandfather, the torment of it was indeed as Sun Ban said, it was unbearable for ordinary people, and his grandfather's expression was obviously much haggard.

I was awakened by his voice, and turned my head to look into the room, the white-haired mouse was still tied by the ink fountain line, hanging in the middle of the room, and the ground was full of yellow paper, but this time on the yellow paper was some charms that I had never seen before, some resembled the five immortals, some resembled human shapes, and some only had outlines, but the yellow paper was empty!

"Master? What is this symbol? ”

"Hey! You'll know when the time comes! It's not a serious thing anyway! I would never have thought in my life that our old Zheng family would have invited these things! How much rat oil is collected? ”

I took the basin and it was only a thin layer that could cover the basin!

Grandpa nodded and said, "I'll go cook, let's get it next!" We have to get this done before your third uncle comes back tomorrow! ”

"Good!"

I shouted Zhou Wenwu again, and in one go, it took the two of us a full day to get all the remaining rat oil, and finally only got about a pound of rat oil!

That night, grandpa took the rat oil into the room, still didn't let the two of me take care of it, but let us rest early, Zhou Wenwu and I really haven't had a good rest since we came back, and when we heard the words, we went back to the room and fell asleep, until the next day at noon by the third uncle's call!

My father came back with the third uncle, and my mother and third aunt were told by my grandfather in advance not to let the third uncle take them back! I don't know why. The next day, Grandpa locked the door of his room and told us that he was going out and that we should not open the door until he returned, no matter what was happening in the room or what was going on!

The third uncle and my dad naturally couldn't rest assured, but in the end, they couldn't resist my grandfather's persistence, so they could only do it!

And since the first night after his grandfather left, there had been no rest in his room, and sometimes there were babies crying, and women's crazy laughter, and sometimes even the sound of several people fighting!

The room is even more cold and gloomy, ordinary people come to the front, they can't stop shivering, but because of grandpa's advice, the four of us can only turn a blind eye, can only watch, every day there are some strange shadows rushing into the room, and in just three days, the room around the room is even more incredible grass growing! That's so fast, it's terrifying! In order to prevent the neighborhood from causing trouble again, even during the day, my dad closed the courtyard door and did not let the door open!

This went on for seven days, and on the night of the eighth day, even though we were all in our respective rooms, we could not escape the strange influence of that room, and we had nightmares!

On the first night, I dreamed of a few operas to sing for me! After listening to the song, they insisted that I join their troupe! In the end, it was Zhou Wenwu who woke me up! And the next day, Zhou Wenwu also had a nightmare, and when he woke up, he said that he missed Old Monk Wu!

After two days like this, even the third uncle and my father were not spared, they all had some strange dreams, and sometimes they woke up and lay in front of their grandfather's door! In the end, my dad came up with a way to let the four of us take turns keeping vigil, and wake him up once he found something abnormal! That's how you can barely cope! It wasn't until dawn half a month later that Grandpa finally came back!

He went out alone, and when he came back, he was pulling a cart, and he hadn't seen him for half a month, and his grandfather seemed to be a few years old, and the cart was parked in the courtyard, and the four of us looked at the things in the car but were dumbfounded, and we were all speechless!

Because on that cart, there is a coffin!

A coffin made of dozens of black wooden planks nailed to the whole body!

"Daddy! What are you? ”

"Let's carry it to the hall first! If the province is seen again, rumors will inevitably be avoided! You didn't go to my room, did you? ”

"Nope! But these days it's very weird, you see the wild grass growing! What the hell are you going to do, what are you pulling a coffin for! How unlucky! ”

While speaking, the four of us all stepped forward, each grabbed a corner of the coffin, and slowly lifted it up, although the coffin was only a few points thick, it seemed to be rough and simple but surprisingly heavy, and it was only a dozen steps away from the hall, but it made it difficult for the four of us young adults!
