The candle flame in the room suddenly flickered desperately, as if it would be extinguished at any moment, and the moaning of the child on the bed suddenly became louder, as if it was very painful.

Zhu Qinglin opened his eyes and looked at Lao Dao: "Let it, be quiet for a while, I'll treat the disease first." ”

Lao Dao stretched out his hands and shook them in front of Zhu Qinglin's eyes and said, "That's it?" ”

"It's black, it doesn't hurt, it only scares."

Lao Dao naturally knows what black eyes are, that is, the demon generated by water vapor, a large mass of black gas, which can be transformed into animal shapes, or even human shapes, entering and exiting the portal, coming and going freely, it can bring disasters to people, but it rarely hurts people, and it is not counted as scared to death.

Lao Dao frowned and thought about it and went out of the room, and soon, the candle flame was no longer flickering, and the child's moaning was quiet.

Everyone else in the room stood trembling in one place, only wishing Qinglin and the child in bed.

Zhu Cai was busy in the kitchen with Zhu Tie and Zhu Jian, and among the cloth bags he brought, there were chickens, three bamboo shoots, glutinous rice, and japonica rice.

Zhu Cai asked Zhu Tie to slice the three bamboo shoots, Tianmu bamboo shoots, winter bamboo shoots, and Wenzheng bamboo shoots, simmer them in the chicken soup, and let Zhu Cai make a fire in the courtyard, put the washed japonica rice into a clean clay pot and put it on the fire, then add some chicken soup, and cook until the rice is rotten.

Zhu Cai himself made glutinous rice dumplings.

The three of them were busy, and Zhu Tie suddenly asked in horror: "Why do I feel chills?" Do you feel like a gust of wind is blowing? ”

Zhu Jian nodded violently and said, "I seem to have heard heavy footsteps just now, stopping at the door!" ”

Zhu Tie sighed and stood beside Zhu Cai in two steps.

Zhu Caitou didn't raise his head and said: "It has nothing to do with us who comes, the son is here, hurry up and cook!" ”

As soon as Zhu Cai's words fell, Lao Dao appeared in the courtyard, gesturing and chattering outside through the courtyard gate, and Zhu Tie and Zhu Jian were stunned.

After a few breaths, Zhu Tie muttered, "I want to worship the Taoist as a teacher!" ”

Zhu Jian said: "Tiezi, let's be together!" I watched, if we follow the fourth son, if we don't have any ability, we will be scared to death sooner or later! ”

Zhu Cai looked up at the two of them in surprise and asked, "Don't you two listen carefully to what the Taoist chief is talking about?" ”

The two of them took two steps towards the entrance of the courtyard, then held their breath and listened carefully......

“…… We had no grudges before, and it was not easy for you to cultivate into the appearance you are now, I just said, three things can hurt you, firecrackers, mirrors, and salt! I have all three, light firecrackers and open the courtyard door and throw them out, you're afraid you can't hide, so, you go home first, and we'll clean you up after we're busy for a while, no, I'll talk to you again, the world is so big, why do you just stay in Huaidong Village? Lin Jiangcheng has a Zhu family, his yard is big, and there is also a pond, you are in a starry night, and it will be there in a few days, but you only know what kind of ability it is to bully the poor? You take your belly of stinky fish and rotten shrimp to scare and scare the Zhu family in Lin Jiangcheng and give them ...... Don't go, I haven't finished yet, tomorrow the whole village will know how to cure you, you want to go or not! ”

Zhu Tie and Zhu Jian listened and glanced at each other.

Zhu Cai asked, "Are you still apprenticing?" ”

Lao Dao proudly walked over and said, "Did you see it?" I just surrendered without a fight! ”

Zhu Cai said to Lao Dao: "You bring the rice in the clay pot in, it's cooked, the simmering bamboo shoots are almost done, and the glutinous rice dumplings will be ready immediately, you forgot to say just now, it's still afraid of fire!" ”

Lao Dao snorted and entered the house with a clay pot through his robe.

Soon, the simmered bamboo shoots and glutinous rice balls were also served into the house.

Zhu Qinglin let Zhu Cai wait for the glutinous rice balls to be warm, and began to wipe from the child's shoulder, the couple was just about to stop, but saw that the child not only did not cry, but even the moaning could not be heard, it seemed very comfortable,

Zhu Cai wiped his shoulders and chest with a glutinous rice ball, and took another one to wipe his abdomen and thighs......

When the five glutinous rice balls were used up, the child said weakly, "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”

"Feed him soup." Zhu Qinglin ate the meal in front of him and commanded.

The child was very hungry, drank the soup, and still wanted to eat, Zhu Qinglin let him eat two more mouthfuls of rice, so he didn't let him eat it, and said, "Keep some, you guys, add slowly." ”

When Lao Dao heard this, he had to explain, he hurriedly put down the soup bowl in his hand and said: "After we leave, we will stay to eat, the child has been hungry for several days, and he can't eat too much at once, he must add it slowly, otherwise it will be harmful to the body, and even die!" ”

The couple nodded hurriedly, and the child's father turned his back and licked the soup bowl that the child had drunk clean.

Zhu Qinglin sighed, looked up at the few people in the room, and their eyes did not leave their soup and rice.

"After eating, make some more, give them to them, eat."

Zhu Cai nodded.

……

That night, everyone barely managed to sleep in a room.

The couple hugged the child, and the family of three who had not slept well for a few days soon fell asleep, and Zhu Cai and Lao Dao did not waste time, and the snoring of Zhu Cai sounded after lying down.

Zhu Tie whispered next to Zhu Jian: "After a day's journey, I am tired to death." ”

"I slept on the Chase bunk last night, and I slept on the ground tonight, I don't know where I slept tomorrow night, let's sleep."

The two of them turned over, found a relatively comfortable position, yawned a few times in succession, and the two fell asleep.

As if he had just fallen asleep, Zhu Tie was awakened by the familiar 'woo' sound, he pushed Zhu Jian next to him with his eyes closed, and said in a trembling voice, "Did you hear that?" The voice...... Followed. ”

Zhu Jian wanted to cry, he was sleeping deeply, Zhu Tie didn't push him, he couldn't wake up, and he couldn't hear.

When they lived in the Rongcheng Inn, they lived in the Datong shop outside the small courtyard, and they couldn't hear it at night, so they felt that when they left Wuteng Mountain, the sound would not follow, and they would come again tonight.

The two of them curled up, scared and sleepy, and they really fell asleep when the day was about to dawn.

When the two woke up, they were the only ones left in the house.

The two hurriedly got up and went out to take a look, the couple should have gone to the ground, the child was playing in the yard with his bare buttocks, Lao Dao was sitting on the ground and sighing, Zhu Cai picked vegetables at the kitchen door, and Zhu Qinglin ...... Standing in the middle of the courtyard, looking up at the sky.

Zhu Tie and Zhu Jian were shocked, Zhu Qinglin, who was standing, Zhu Tie had only seen him once in the night!

The sunlight sprinkled on Zhu Qinglin's body, it was a little dazzling, Zhu Tie and Zhu Jian rubbed their eyes at the same time, looked over again, Zhu Qinglin happened to look at them as well, and said, "Hurry up, help me sit down!" ”

Zhu Tie and Zhu Jian hurriedly stepped forward and supported Zhu Qinglin from left to right.

Zhu Cai ran over and asked, "I'd better carry my son into the house!" ”

Zhu Qinglin waved his hand and said, "No, sit for a while." ”

The old man shouted, "Where to sit?" Didn't you see that I was sitting on the ground? This village is so poor! Yesterday I really should have grabbed a handful of salt and sprinkled it, so that that thing could also be injured, and it was a bully for the poor! ”

"It's just, hurt! Mutual restraint, you are better than me, understand. ”
