Chapter 69: The Wind and Rain Leave People to Stay
"Master, uncle, there is a village in front of you. The three of them walked through the mountains and forests, and Li Chunfeng suddenly pointed to the bottom of the mountain, prompting Zhang Xuanqing and Yuan Tiangang.
At this time, it was the two of them who carried Liu Jiannan. Zhang Xuanqing followed Li Chunfeng's direction and looked, and sure enough, he saw a few lights under the mountain, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Hurry up, let's go quickly, maybe we can catch up with the hot rice." ”
Yuan Tiangang was also shocked, his old arms and legs, carrying a person on the mountain road was simply fatal. If it weren't for the fear of walking slowly and feeding the animals, he would not have suffered this sin.
The lights under the mountain slowly approached, turned a corner, and stepped on a sheep intestine path, and the stretcher was changed from Yuan Tiangang to Li Chunfeng.
When the whole village was displayed in front of the three of them, Yuan Tiangang suddenly frowned and looked around: "No, this place is weird." ”
"What's weird?" Zhang Xuanqing was tired enough, so he didn't care if it was weird or not. looked at the village, and then looked at Liu Jiannan on the stretcher, and his eyes rolled: "Why don't you go and have a look first, and you will wait here for a while?"
Yuan Tiangang was a smart person, knowing that he wanted to carry a little less road, he stroked his beard and coughed dryly: "That...... Let's go in and have a look...... Brother Dao is waiting here for a while......"
In the end, the three of them entered the village together, but as soon as they walked into the village, Zhang Xuanqing also felt that something was wrong.
Every house in the village was lit up, but it was eerily quiet, and there was no sound. The houses are very old, and some of the wood is broken. The streets are full of dust and leaves, and I don't know if the people in this village are lazy.
The three of them knocked on the door several times in a row, but no one came out. Until I walked to a room with a half-hidden door, I pushed the door in, only to find that although there was a light inside, it was covered with dust, and it was obvious that no one had lived in it for a long time.
The oil lamp was placed on the desk in the southeast corner of the room, the light was dim and yellow, the window was ajar, and the cold wind was blowing outside, but the lamp was motionless, and there was a strange atmosphere.
Yuan Tiangang's face was slightly gloomy when he saw this: "This village is not normal, in my opinion, it is best for us to leave now." ”
Zhang Xuanqing also played a little drum in his heart, and when he heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Where are you going ......to leave us?"
"Continue south, through this village!" Yuan Tiangang looked outside and thought for a while.
The room the three of them are currently in is in the north of the village, and if they want to go south, they must pass through the entire village. In fact, Zhang Xuanqing didn't want to stay in this village for long, if he was alone, he would rather walk around this village than pass in a straight line in the village. According to his years of experience in watching ghost movies, staying in the village at this time is undoubtedly a death. But just now carrying Liu Jiannan all the way, he was also tired enough, and he asked him to propose to exit the village first and walk around the village, and he was also a little reluctant.
At this time, Li Chunfeng's voice suddenly came from the side: "Master, uncle, look, there are medicinal materials here. ”
Since entering the house, the two put down Liu Jiannan's stretcher. When Zhang Xuanqing and Yuan Tiangang were talking, Li Chunfeng began to observe the room. It was found that on the north side of the house, there was a wooden shelf, which was full of medicinal herbs.
There is also a medicine basket next to the wooden shelf, in which the refined ointment is placed, and next to it are medicine pounding jars, medicine mills and the like. Yuan Tiangang walked over and looked at it, and guessed: "The owner of this house should be a foot doctor in this area." ”
Li Chunfeng said: "Didn't Uncle Shi just say that Liu Zhuangshi was poisoned, can the medicine here detoxify him?"
"yes, I didn't think of that. Zhang Xuanqing suddenly realized this, and looked through the medicine shelf for a while, muttering while watching: "Look at his symptoms, the poison in the house is made of oleander, hook kiss, tripterygium wilfordii, and broken intestine grass." Although this thing is very famous, and the main drugs used are also highly toxic, it is a pity that the people who created this poison either do not understand the principle of medicine, or they just leave a glimmer of life for others, and completely let the main drugs dilute each other's toxicity. As long as you eat a cup of tea boiled with gastrodia, tangerine peel and frosted mulberry leaves within three days, it can be dissolved...... Found it!"
Not to mention, there are really a lot of kinds of medicinal materials on this medicine shelf, which just need to detoxify Liu Jiannan.
There was a stove and medicine pot in the room, Zhang Xuanqing was holding the medicinal herbs, and was about to look for water and firewood, when he suddenly thought that this place could not stay for a long time, and he hesitated for a while: "Or...... Shall we hold the stove and go?"
Yuan Tiangang hesitated, stretched out his left hand, and quickly pinched his thumb between the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger, and after a while, said: "Let's stay here, I just calculated, we won't encounter much danger here." ”
Zhang Xuanqing slapped his head violently, this matter was so troublesome, he actually forgot that he knew how to tell hexagrams.
The real fortune telling is not as mysterious as it says in the novel, what counts people and not oneself is all nonsense. Anyone who says that he counts people and doesn't count himself is actually a liar at all, otherwise how could Ji Chang calculate that he would be imprisoned?
Warming up for good fortune, especially predicting good luck for yourself, is the first step for every fortune teller to learn fortune telling.
Since Yuan Tiangang said that there was no danger here, Zhang Xuanqing was relieved. Pulling Li Chunfeng together, he found clean water and dry firewood, and lit it with the flame of the oil lamp. boiled a small pot of medicine for Liu Jiannan and poured it down.
The charcoal fire is rising, the steam is swirling, and the room that has been lit has more warmth than before, but the oil lamp on the windowsill that cannot be extinguished by the wind still brings a trace of weirdness.
No one touched the oil lamp, no matter how abnormal it was, Zhang Xuanqing, Li Chunfeng, and Yuan Tiangang didn't touch it. The cause of death in many ghost stories is due to the cheapness of the hand, although Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng have not seen ghost movies, they are ancient people, ancient people who always have a sense of awe.
Perhaps in the eyes of modern people, people must not be afraid of heaven and earth, and have the spirit of daring to take risks, etc. But in ancient times, whether it was Buddhism, Taoism, or Confucianism, they all taught people to maintain a sense of reverence. Even if "the son is silent and the power is confused", he also said "respect the ghosts and gods and stay away". The first thing to be honored is to be respected.
Be kind to others, be kind to yourself, respect others for yourself, respect for yourself.
Whether it is a human being or a ghost, only if you respect him, he will respect you.
"How are we now, are we leaving, or are we going to stay overnight?" After feeding Liu Jiannan the medicine, Liu Jiannan was still unconscious, and Zhang Xuanqing asked Yuan Tiangang's idea.
If there was no oil lamp on the windowsill, Yuan Tiangang said that there was no big problem here, and Zhang Xuanqing chose to live here. But with that oil lamp, even if Yuan Tiangang's character was there, it still made Zhang Xuanqing feel unsure.
Yuan Tiangang couldn't make up his mind for a while, he touched his beard and smacked it for a long time, and he couldn't say why he came up for a while.
"Who?" Suddenly, Li Chunfeng let out a low cry and turned his head out of the window.
Zhang Xuanqing was startled: "What's wrong?" also turned his head to look out the window.
I saw that it was pitch black outside the window, only the dark yellow light seedlings the size of mung beans in the window, burning straight there, without the slightest beat.
Li Chunfeng looked suspicious, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just felt that there was someone there, it should be that I felt wrong." ”
Don't scare me......
Zhang Xuanqing chuckled in his heart, why did this conversation make him feel very familiar and give him a very bad premonition?
Seem...... What does the protagonist say in the movie? At first, I thought it was my own illusion, but in the end, I was killed by the "illusion"?
The more I think about it, the more scared I become, and the more I think about it, the more timid I become. Originally, he felt that he was quite bold, but this situation, coupled with the symptoms of Young Master Zheng a few days ago, made him inevitably think in that direction, and terrifying pictures popped up in his mind.
There are too many ghost movies he deserves, if he hasn't seen it, like Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, he wouldn't be so afraid. But what you have seen is what you have seen, and sometimes what you have seen will turn into a source of fear. I have to say that "being well-informed" is not necessarily a good thing.
I don't know if I want to come to something, when the plot of A Chinese Ghost Story appeared in Zhang Xuanqing's mind, there was really a wisp of piano sound in his ears.
The sound of the piano is ethereal, tactful and continuous, like crying and complaining, similar to Nie Xiaoqian's play in the movie, but it is more phantom and treacherous, as if it is far away in the sky, and it seems to be in my mind.
Zhang Xuanqing felt goosebumps all over his body, and stabbed Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng: "Did you hear that?"
"What did you hear?" the master and apprentice looked puzzled.
"The sound of the piano...... Didn't you hear?"
The master and apprentice glanced at each other, shook their heads at the same time and said, "No ......" But Li Chunfeng only said half of it, and immediately shut up and listened carefully.
After a while, he nodded and said, "I heard it this time, Uncle Shi, your ears are so good." ”
Is this a question of whether the ears are good or not? Zhang Xuanqing couldn't cry or laugh, and wanted to kneel for Li Chunfeng.
But it's good that someone can hear it like him, I'm afraid that only he can hear it, then he can really only kneel today.
Seeing that the two of them said that there was indeed something to do, Yuan Tiangang also listened carefully, and after a while, the sound of the piano penetrated into his ears, and his complexion couldn't help but change.
"This place is not good for long. ”
"Let's rest somewhere. ”
Yuan Tiangang and Zhang Xuanqing spoke almost at the same time.
The two glanced at each other, nodded to each other, called Li Chunfeng, carried Liu Jiannan, and walked out of the room.
As the so-called gentleman does not stand under the wall, although the hexagram shows that there is not much danger here, but in such a strange environment, no one wants to bring more.
However, as soon as he walked out of the door, Zhang Xuanqing felt a drop of rain fall on his face, followed by two drops, three drops......
"It's raining?"
"How can it rain at this time......" Yuan Tiangang came out behind him, and as soon as he said this, he suddenly touched his face and wondered: "It's really raining!"
In just two sentences, the drizzle in the sky has become a trip, from dripping to dripping. The cold rain accompanied by a cool breeze made the three of them feel cold.
Yuan Tiangang's brows furrowed tightly: "No, today's celestial phenomenon is not like rain, and there shouldn't be rain in the past few days." ”
Zhang Xuanqing said in his heart that this is right, ordinary rain can be predicted through celestial phenomena, but what about ordinary?
Looking up at the dark night sky, his heart couldn't help but sink layer by layer.
Wind and rain to keep people to live!
