Chapter 24: Go to the Land Temple
There is a way that once he was bitten by a snake, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.
Li Zhutou was caught by a weasel today because of picking up gold and silver on the road, and he was already a frightened bird.
Now, in the middle of the night, Liu Er's woman wants to enter the house to add some lamp oil to them, how do you look at this matter.
How can a woman go to the guest house in the middle of the night to add lamp oil, this is even more unreasonable.
And things like lamps, oil is very expensive, and like Liu Er, their family is not rich.
Besides, even if he is rich, can't it be Liu Er who adds lamp oil himself?
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, Li Zhutou didn't dare to open the door, so he could only cautiously say to the door: "Don't bother, the lamp oil is enough, you don't need to add it."
It's late at night, so go to bed early! ”
Outside the door, it was really the appearance of Second Uncle Liu and his mother-in-law, but it was more gloomy, and when she saw that Li Zhutou really didn't open the door, her face turned into a wisp of black smoke and drifted out of the courtyard.
In fact, Second Uncle Liu had already woken up, and his room was not far from the room where Li Zhutou slept in, after all, his home was not very big.
When his woman's voice sounded outside the door, he had already woken up, and when he got up, he saw that the woman was still by his side, and the child was a few years old and sleeping between them.
So if your woman is still around, who is talking in your own woman's voice outside the door?
For the sake of prudence, Second Uncle Liu took off a wooden sign hanging around his neck and gently pressed it on the door of his mother-in-law's head, and when he saw that there was no reaction, he was relieved.
Then he quietly climbed out of bed, holding this somewhat black wooden sign in his hand, tiptoed to the door.
Looking out at the crack in the door, sure enough, there was a woman who was exactly like her mother-in-law knocking on the door of the guest room where Li Zhutou and Wang Zhutou were sleeping, and said in her mother-in-law's voice that she wanted to add some lamp oil.
Second Uncle Liu's heart was in his throat, he didn't know if Li Zhutou would open the door, but he hoped not to open it.
He didn't know what would happen if Li Zhutou really opened the door, but no matter what happened, he wouldn't go out.
Because the wooden sign in his hand exuded a burning heat at this time, reminding him that the woman outside the door who was exactly like his mother-in-law was not a good person.
But fortunately, Li Zhutou did not dare to come out, believing that he had sensed the danger and that something was wrong.
And the thing that turned into his mother-in-law was exactly the same as a demon or a ghost, and when Li Zhutou didn't dare to open the door, he couldn't even enter the door, and finally could only turn into black smoke and leave.
Everything that happened made Second Uncle Liu feel so angry that he didn't dare to gasp, so he held the wooden card in his hand tightly and guarded the door, not daring to move even a step until dawn.
It wasn't until the dawn of the day, the rooster announced, and the sun rose in the east that his nervous body relaxed, and he sat on the ground with his whole body paralyzed.
"What's wrong with you, boss?"
When Aunt Liu woke up, she saw her head of the house limp in front of the door, so she quickly got up, put on her clothes and went to help her man.
Second Uncle Liu was frightened, and immediately came back to his senses, and instructed Second Aunt Liu: "Quick, wake up the child, I'll go and see if Li Zhutou and them are up!" ”
Then carefully look out through the crack in the door, and only after making sure that there is no one outside, do you pull the deadbolt to open the door.
After making sure that there was nothing outside, he dared to go out, took three steps and two steps, went to the door of the room where Li Zhutou was, and knocked on the door.
"Li Zhutou Wang Zhuye, it's dawn, open the door quickly!"
After a night of recuperation, Li Zhutou's energy recovered a lot, and Wang Zhutou quickly woke up from a coma, although his body was a little weak, but he was able to walk freely.
Hearing the call of Liu Er, the village chief outside, Wang Zhu quickly wanted to open the door, but was stopped by Li Zhutou.
"Wait!"
Li Zhutou held the long knife issued by the official in his hand, and stood in front of him, his hand in a position where he could draw the knife at any time.
After making all the preparations, he said to Wang Zhu: "You can open the door!" ”
Wang Zhuhai hasn't come back to his senses until now, but after seeing Li Zhutou's demeanor, he also remembered why he became the way he is now, and then his face changed greatly.
"Headcatcher, is that the same thing out there now?"
Wang Zhuhai asked in horror.
Li Zhutou also had an ugly face: "I don't know, in the middle of the night last night, someone knocked on the door to add lamp oil, but the door was not opened at that time, and now it is dawn, I don't know if it is a human or a demon outside!" ”
The two of them don't have imperial luck on them, and there are ghosts and monsters who want to possess them, which is much easier than possessing ordinary people.
After all, except for slaves and some particularly unlucky children, basically ordinary people have a little royal luck protection, unless they die by themselves and lose their imperial luck.
It is precisely because their imperial luck is gone, so Li Zhutou does not dare to open the door rashly now.
Even asking Wang Yu to open the door quickly was ready to draw his knife.
Outside the door, of course, Second Uncle Liu heard their words, so he said, "Two, it's me, it's me Liu Er."
If I don't open the door and come out, I'm leaving, I'm going to my uncle's house!
I saw that thing last night, and I didn't dare to stay at home anymore, so I went to my uncle's house to ask for a countermeasure first!
If you don't come out, then I'll go! ”
After speaking, Second Uncle Liu didn't grind, turned around and picked up his child, and walked out of the courtyard with his mother-in-law.
He really didn't dare to take the risk, if he dragged it out any longer, if his uncle went into the mountains to collect medicine again and didn't come back at night, if Chen Yun didn't know how to deal with it, he would be in a big trouble.
People in the countryside wake up early, and most of them are already out of the house by the time dawn is up.
This is all planned to take advantage of the sun not to come out, do more work, when the sun is big, the sun is in the middle of the day, you should go home to rest, and then go out to work for half a day when the sun is not so hot in the west.
So he was worried that his uncle would go up the mountain to collect medicine, so he quickly hugged the child, took his mother-in-law, and went out.
"Hey, wait, let's go!"
Li Zhutou in the room saw it, and he hurriedly led Wang Zhutou to follow.
Aunt Liu didn't know what was going on, but from the moment she was in charge of the house in the morning, she was paralyzed to the ground, and then immediately asked her to take the child to find her uncle, she knew that something was wrong.
In addition, Li Zhutou and Wang Zhukuai now have a look of fear on their faces.
As he walked, Li Zhutou asked, "Second Brother Liu, what did you see last night?" ”
Now that even my brother has come out, it can be seen how frightened Li Zhutou is now!
While walking in a hurry, Second Uncle Liu replied: "The one who patted your door last night, I don't know if it was a demon or a ghost, when I saw that you didn't open the door, it turned into a puff of black smoke and drifted away!"
I guarded the door last night, and I didn't dare to sleep or make a sound!
I finally survived until dawn! ”
After Li Zhutou heard this, he was afraid for a while.
If you didn't realize the danger last night, believed the other party's nonsense, and opened the door to the other party, then it is unknown whether you can still live today.
A few people in a group hurried to the door of the old man's courtyard in Zuo, and Second Uncle Liu hurriedly stepped forward to knock on the door.
"Uncle, Chen Yun!
Got up?
Open the door! ”
The door was opened, but it was not the old man or Chen Yun who opened the door, but the ninth girl and her younger brother Dunzi.
"Second Uncle Liu, why is it so early?"
The ninth girl asked in surprise.
Dunzi was also very polite to ask Second Uncle Liu for the morning.
For the Nine Girls and Dunzi to be here, this is a matter of course, so I don't feel strange.
In response to the two of them saying good morning, Second Uncle Liu was casually perfunctory, and asked, "Has Uncle gotten up?"
What about Chen Yun? ”
He was in a hurry, now was not the time to greet him, but to die!
As he spoke, he pulled the child into the door with his mother-in-law and the ninth girl.
Li Zhutou followed behind with a very eye-catching look, and Wang Zhutou quickly became more eye-catching, and he closed the courtyard door when he came in.
They were now mindful of anything that might be dangerous, otherwise they might have noticed such a small move as closing the courtyard door before?
"Ah Gong got up, he was sharpening his knife, and Xiang Gong was also up, making breakfast in the kitchen!"
When Second Uncle Liu entered the courtyard gate, he saw that the uncle who was sharpening his knife on the right side of the courtyard hurriedly walked over.
The knife that Old Man Zuo is sharpening now is a long knife, both of them are sharpened, it seems that one has been sharpened, and now the second one is sharpened.
"What? A demon came to your house last night?
Fortunately, what rules does this demon have to follow?
I'm afraid that you have to take the initiative to open the door before you can enter the house and harm you!
Otherwise, you won't see the sun today!
Still, something isn't right! ”
Second Uncle Liu told the story of last night as it was, making Li Zhutou and Wang Zhutou break down in a cold sweat again.
When the old man heard this, it was wrong!
If the demon enters the village, if it is only one or two times, it can be said to be negligent.
But something is wrong now!
If one or two times is an oversight, then, now the third time, then there are only two possibilities.
The first possibility is that it can't be stopped, and the second possibility is that it was deliberately put in.
What is the land lord doing?
"Chen Yun, is breakfast ready?
Hurry up, have breakfast, and follow me to the Land Temple! ”
