Chapter 2: Nothing is a dream
I was woken up.
When I woke up and opened my eyes, I saw my grandmother and a Taoist priest in the village squatting beside me.
Seeing that I was awake, my grandmother said happily, "Jingjing, you are finally awake!" I'm scared to death by you! Fortunately, Daoist Qingjie calculated that you are in the temple temple, otherwise I don't know how to explain to your mother! ”
Temple Temple?
Confused for a few seconds, I looked up and saw a statue on the table behind me with a black cloth covering its head.
Although I have never been to the temple god, I have heard people in the village mention that there is a statue of the temple god with a covered head.
Looking at the statue behind me, I was stunned.
Am I not at home?
How did you wake up in the temple after that?!
I went to see my grandmother, but I saw that her face changed suddenly, and she said in a heavy tone: "What's the matter with these traces on your body?!" ”
I was confused, and when I lowered my eyes, I saw dense red scratches and bruises on my legs and arms, which were very conspicuous.
In an instant, fear spread to me, and the image of being entangled in snakes in my dream last night also came to my mind.
No!
Nothing was a dream last night!
It's all really happening to me!
When my grandmother saw me with a frightened face, she held my hand and asked, "Jingjing, tell your grandmother, what happened to you last night?" ”
I slowly came back to my senses, took her hand, and said in fear, "I saw a talking snake on the manhole cover......
I told her exactly what happened to me about being entangled in snakes.
After hearing this, my grandmother's expression became more and more solemn, and my heart trembled.
I've heard a lot of stories about being retaliated by snakes.
Thinking of this, I was stunned in my heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Grandma, am I ...... by a snake?"
Before the rest of the words were finished, my grandmother glared at me fiercely and said in a deep voice: "Jingjing, don't talk nonsense outside, go home first!" ”
As she spoke, she took off her coat, put it on me, and thanked Qingjie.
I tightened my coat, forcibly suppressed the fear in my heart, and followed my grandmother out of the temple.
When I went home, the road that should have been full of snakes and insects became smooth at this time, and I couldn't see the slightest snake shadow!
I felt very strange in my heart, so I asked my grandmother.
Grandma said that the drone sprinkled realgar powder all over the village last night and drove away the snakes.
I nodded.
I don't know what's going on, but I always have a bad premonition in my heart.
When I got home, I took off my grandmother's coat and smelled a strong snakey smell on my body, which made my stomach churn.
Grandma also seemed to smell it, and said to me in a deep voice: "There is realgar wine in the west room, remember to wipe it after taking a bath." ”
"I see." I say.
I poured some realgar wine from Westinghouse, and I went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After taking a shower, I came to the mirror.
Just as I was about to wipe my body with realgar, I suddenly turned into a red and white snake in the mirror, staring at me coldly.
"Ahh
I was so frightened that I stepped back, and I didn't hold the realgar wine in my hand steadily, and it shattered on the ground with a 'click'.
Grandma heard my movement, went to the bathroom and hurriedly pushed the door open.
Seeing me with a frightened face, she asked, "Jingjing, what's wrong?" ”
I pointed to the snake in the mirror with trembling fingers, "Snake! Grandma, there's a snake in the mirror! ”
As soon as the words fell, the snake in the mirror dissipated.
What's going on?!
What about snakes?!
Grandma looked at the mirror and frowned, "Jingjing, are you wrong?" There are no snakes in the mirror. ”
Am I reading it wrong?
I asked myself.
The realgar wine was spilled on the ground, and there was no way to use it, so my grandmother poured half a bowl for me, and helped me wipe my body by the way.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the village chief and several cadres came to my house to discuss matters with my grandmother, who directly asked me to go into the house to avoid it.
In the evening, my grandmother went out again and came back after dark.
I put down the dishes and chopsticks in my hand, and was about to ask my grandmother if she was eating, but I saw my grandmother walk up to me quickly, and said with a panicked face, "Jingjing, you quickly pack up your things and leave here with me!" ”
