Chapter 4: Strange Dreams (1)
After more than a month of traveling, the savings of these wanderers were quickly spent.
They wandered all over the world, relying on Grandpa Bai's acting skills of crying and calling his mother, and Li Ye's storytelling.
Grandpa Bai's ravine-lined old face deduces endless tragic encounters, and he can often gain the sympathy of some people and get some merciful broken silver.
On the contrary, Li Ye has a wonderful talent for storytelling, and he is often rewarded by many people by telling some strange stories. Not only that, but you can also unexpectedly gain some fans, if you are lucky, you can gain a local rich fan, and your life will be much more nourishing in that year.
This kind of thing has not happened before, Li Ye got some rich people's rewards because of his storytelling, and let them survive the years of famine. Speaking of the source of Li Ye's bizarre stories, it is also incredible. It came from his dreams.
He has dreamed every day since he was a child, and unlike ordinary people, he can also remember the contents of his dreams after waking up. Although these dreams are very fragmentary and absurd, Li Ye often has a special taste after sorting them out.
In the two years that Li Ye had just taken him in, because Li Ye dreamed every day, he scared Grandpa Bai a lot, saying that the child was haunted by the dream demon, and even said that Li Ye would be taken away by the dream demon sooner or later.
For this reason, Grandpa Bai also found someone to drag the relationship and spent money to invite a Taoist priest to exorcise demons for him, but it had no effect. Unexpectedly, Li Ye cleverly used the content in the dream to create a way to make money and tell stories.
Therefore, Grandpa Bai never had the idea of exorcising the dream demon for him again, but hoped that his dream realm would be as good as possible. Only Mo Li, but he was very dissatisfied with this, and he always advocated to exorcise Li Ye and cure the disease, because whenever Li Ye dreamed, it was too terrible, as if he had suffered endless suffering, and when he woke up, most of the time his clothes were soaked.
For this reason, Mo Li did not worry less, and always silently guarded him in the middle of the night, wiping the sweat flowing for him. Until this year, Li Ye's dreaming began to become less common, and he did it once or twice a week.
Finally, when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, they came to a small town called Kuguo, and everyone found a deserted thatched hut to rest, ready to rest for the night, and the next day began to perform in a crowded place to get some coiling.
Lying on the ground, Grandpa Bai is thinking about how to carry out the earth-shaking tomorrow, crying for his father and calling his mother, pretending to be a dead corpse, or a disabled old man with missing arms and legs to maximize his mercy.
Li Ye was also silently thinking about sorting out some dreams into a complete short story, so that he could have a good harvest tomorrow.
In the middle of the night, when the moon hung high in the sky, the stars filled the night, Grandpa Bai's snoring resounded through the sky, Mo Li, Wu Ju, and Li Chen exhaled evenly, and the whole Kuguo town was like a baby in a cradle when it fell asleep, Li Ye was short of breath, nervous, his face was painful, and his hands tightly grasped the weeds on the ground and entered a long dream.
"Tianhe...... Fairy...... It's all your fault...... Dark Demon, you will not die well, and one day I will seal you again...... Hibiscus...... Float ...... Shakuya ...... Hahaha...... Woowoo woo ......"
Those fragmentary, clueless sentences woke up, Grandpa Bai and others.
Wiping the beads of sweat like rain for Li Ye with his sleeves, Mo Li looked at Li Ye with some trepidation and looked at Grandpa Bai as if asking for help: "Brother Ye Zi is dreaming again, it hasn't been like this for a long time." ”
Shaking the plum leaf as before, but he couldn't wake up. The little hand that wiped the sweat beads for Li Ye couldn't help trembling slightly: "What to do, what to do?" ”
Grandpa Bai had no choice, he just tore the old voice and called: "Li Ye wake up, Li Ye wake up ......."
Seeing that Wu Ju was in a bit wrong, Li Chen also hurriedly climbed to Li Ye's side and shook his body, shouting while shaking: "Li Ye, brother, alien, ugly monster, disaster star, curly-haired ......"
Li Ye, Wu Ju, and Li Chen, who couldn't wake up, couldn't call out the nickname that Li Ye was played, insulted, and teased on weekdays after being called, trying to stimulate this sleeping brother and make him sober again.
What made them extremely disappointed was that this Li Ye was still full of pain and nervousness, his hands were tightly grasping the weeds on the ground, and at this moment he seemed to be struggling painfully in another world, and he couldn't return to the real world.
"Are you saying that Brother Ye Zi was taken to another world by the Dream Demon?" After tossing all night, there was no improvement, and when he heard Li Chen's words, Mo Li said in disbelief.
"He dreamed like this when he was a child, and his father and mother asked him to exorcise the Taoist witch doctor for him, saying that he was haunted by dream demons, and it was not impossible to be taken to another world by dream demons." Li Chen said.
was a little dissatisfied with Li Chen's explanation, and glanced at Li Chen: "Bah, you crow's mouth, you are talking nonsense, I think you have listened to too many mythological stories told by Brother Yezi, and you have been brought to the mythical world." Brother Ye Zi is just dreaming deeply, he will wake up. ”
Seeing that Mo Li's eyes were like grapes after the rain at this moment, Li Chen hurriedly said: "It's me who said nonsense, my brother will wake up, you ...... Don't be sad, okay? ”
"Don't be too sad about you, Li Ye will wake up, don't worry, Grandpa Bai has gone to Langzhong, there must be a way to treat him." Wu Ju, who was guarding on the side, also hurriedly comforted.
Such a comfort, Mo Li, but the pear blossom cried with the rain.
After Grandpa Bai walked the streets and alleys because he had no money, he was rejected by a large group of Langzhong, and finally met a benevolent doctor. The doctor is willing to treat the weird boy in Grandpa Bai's mouth for free.
Seeing Grandpa Bai who stumbled back and the gray cloth man with a hat behind him, Mo Li put away his tears and stopped crying.
took a pulse for Li Ye, frowned, and shook his head with a wry smile in the gray cloth: "Amazing! Amazing! The pulse is steady and strong, not like being sick, being able to speak and curse in a coma, this is not shock. Indulge in a dream and not wake up, weird! Weird! ”
"Doctor, are you going to tell me what's going on?" everyone asked as they stared at Lang Zhong tightly.
Lang Zhong said with a solemn face: "According to the old man's decades of medical experience, there is only one possibility for this child. ”
"What is it, tell me quickly." Looking at Lang Zhong, who was slowly speaking, Moli asked anxiously.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Lang Zhong said apologetically: "That's the evil spirit." It's not an old man who can heal it. You should go and ask for a Taoist priest or a wizard who can exorcise demons, otherwise, this child may only be a living dead in this life. ”
"Taoist priest, there are no less witch doctors, none of them are useful. Please think again. Grabbing Lang Zhong, who was about to leave, Mo Li cried and begged.
"Then we have to see if there is a way for the immortals." After speaking, Lang Zhong got rid of the little girl's hand, packed up the medical utensils, bowed and said goodbye to everyone, and left slowly with staggering steps.
As soon as Lang Zhong left, Mo Li cried even more painfully.
Seeing such a scene, Wu Ju stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears for Mo Li and comforted: "Mo Li, don't cry, don't cry, didn't Lang Zhong tell us the way to heal Li Ye." ”
Patting Wu Ju's chest, Mo Li sobbed and shouted: "You lied, lied, he didn't say it." ”
Letting Mo Li's slapping, and ignoring Li Chen's bulging eyes, he stretched out his hand to wrap Mo Li in his arms, Wu Ju said: "Didn't Lang Zhong say that the immortals can save Li Ye, isn't the goal of our trip to go to the Jiuxing Mountain where the immortals live." ”
Hearing this, Mo Li was stunned, stopped crying, hurriedly wiped his tears, broke free from Wu Ju's embrace, patted his head, and said with a smile: "Ouch, I'm so stupid." Yes, yes, aren't we going to Jiuxing Mountain, where there are immortals, they will definitely be able to save Brother Yezi. I'll take Brother Ye Zi with me now. ”
After speaking, he was about to carry Li Ye, and as soon as he got up, his feet were weak, and he fell down with a bone. A night of worrying, coupled with such a painful cry, used all the strength of the body.
Seeing this, Li Chen and Wu Ju hurriedly stretched out their hands, and finally Li Chen grabbed Mo Li first, showed a smug smile, and rolled his eyes at Wu Ju. Supporting Mo Li, Li Chen showed a wicked smile on his face: "Wu Ju is bigger, let's let Wu Ju carry Li Ye on his back." I'll swap with him halfway through. ”
Taking advantage of Mo Li's inattention, Wu Ju stuck out his tongue at Li Chen and rolled his eyes.
Mo Li smiled a little weakly, opened his lips lightly and said to Wu Ju: "Then it will be troublesome for Wu Ju to carry Brother Ye Zi all the way." ”
Xiang Moli smiled in return, and Wu Ju said with a happy face: "It's not troublesome at all." It's all brothers, I should have a lot of strength. ”
Grandpa Bai stood aside silently, taking in the words and deeds of these children, shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "Cough, these children, how old are they, they are already jealous at the beginning of their love......"
Finally, I met a few well-wishers and got some entanglements, and the group left Kuguo Town and came to a small town called Kuhai, where they settled in a ruined temple.
After boiling hot water, Mo Li used a porcelain bowl to hold hot water, and after letting it cool for a while, he fed it with a spoon to the mouth of Li Ye, who had not woken up from a dream. Such a move made the hearts of the two little boys beside him overflow with sour water. But this didn't attract Mo Li's attention, and at the moment she only had this Li Ye talking nonsense in her dreams.
The young man who was sleeping in his dreams with sweat like rain, his face painful, and his hands clenched seemed to be struggling in another world......
