Li Heihu patted Su Wu on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid.
I will sleep with you tonight - when I was hunting today, I found a stone cave in the mountain. There were many talismans in the cave. I picked one. Maybe it will be useful at night and scare away that white hijab man.
The female ghost!"
He patted the leather bag behind his butt again.
"Okay." Su Wu nodded.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while. Grandma had prepared the food and called Li Heihu to get the bowl and serve the food.
After Su Wu repeatedly begged, her grandma finally agreed and she was able to get out of bed and eat by herself.
Li Heihu and Su Wu sat around a stupid wooden table in front of the woodshed, each with a bowl of porridge in front of them. There was a sea bowl in the middle of the table, with three or five pancakes and steamed buns of cornmeal mixed with sweet potato noodles piled in it.
Grandma stood by the stove and opened the lid of the pot.
The aroma of stewed chicken wrapped in rolling steam rolls spreads in the woodshed and outside the house.
Li Heihu smelled the aroma, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stretched his neck to look into the woodshed——
There was the sound of turning spatulas in the woodshed, and grandma's voice came out of the house: "Huzi!"
Hearing his grandma's call, Li Heihu's eyes lit up and he quickly stood up and got into the woodshed.
"Bring a bowl to your grandpa, eldest grandpa, fourth grandpa, and fifth grandpa each. Don't be too playful on the way. Come back and eat as soon as you get it!" The old woman took out bowls and various kinds of things from the steaming big black pot.
Stew the chicken with the vegetables and place it on a large tray.
She took out four bowls of vegetables from the pot at once. There was not much meat left in the pot.
Li Heihu took a few deep breaths and held the tray, but he was a little hesitant and unwilling to leave.
Looking at his look, the old woman laughed: "If you don't come back, we won't use our chopsticks!
go quickly!"
"Hey! Then I'll go right away!" Li Hei smiled broadly and hurriedly carried the tray out of the woodshed.
Grandma's warning was behind her: "Don't be playful on the road..."
Come back as soon as it's delivered, it won't taste good when it's cold."
"good!"
Li Heihu agreed and walked out of the yard like a gust of wind.
Grandma took the chicken out of the pot.
There doesn't seem to be much vegetables left in the pot, but it's still a bowl full.
She picked out a piece of plump chicken with her chopsticks, put it into Su Wu's bowl, looked at Su Wu with a smile, and said, "Are you hungry, Zhuzi? Eat a piece first to cushion your meal."
She had obviously promised Hu Zi not to move her chopsticks back before he came back, but now she suddenly changed her mind - Su Wu looked at the piece of black chicken breast with sauce in the bowl, but in his heart he couldn't blame his grandma, and buried his head in it slowly and calmly.
Start eating.
He ate so slowly, which made grandma a little anxious: "What's wrong? Is it not delicious?"
"It's delicious!" Su Wu responded quickly, "I want to wait for Hu Zi and eat together when he comes back."
"That's fine." Grandma touched his head, "You two have been getting along since you were young, so just wait for him!"
Not long after, Li Heihu rushed back with a tray.
The three of them gathered around the table to eat.
In this age, it is hard to get vegetables and rice, let alone meat. Li Heihu didn't care to speak, and repeated the movements of lifting chopsticks, dropping chopsticks, chewing, and swallowing. Su Wu also imitated him and devoured it.
Grandma was eating steamed buns in small bites, picking up vegetables with chopsticks from time to time.
After eating a small bowl of porridge and half a bun, she stopped and looked quietly at the two children, Su Wu and Li Heihu. Their eyes, surrounded by smile lines, seemed to be filled with soft light.
After finishing the meal, Su Wu and Li Heihu cleared away the dishes.
Li Heihu greeted his grandma and said that he would sleep here today, then moved a quilt and spread it on the bed where Su Wu slept.
In today's era, there is little entertainment at night.
I heard from the old woman that in the past there was an old man in Jinliu Village who knew a few words and could speak a few storytelling books and a few scripts. In summer, when the weather was hot and he couldn’t sleep while lying on the kang, the old man in the village would still
Everyone would pool a penny or two and invite this old man to read stories to everyone at the Tutu Temple in the south of the village.
Later, the government banned it and beat the old gentleman.
Coupled with the fact that people's lives are becoming increasingly difficult and famines are approaching, no one can easily come up with a penny or two, so this only entertainment activity in the village has been abolished.
The three of them chatted in the yard for a while.
It's getting dark.
The setting sun casts a red and yellow light on the wall of the neighbor's house in front of the main house.
This little bit of light slowly disappeared within a matter of two or three seconds.
Grandma fixed the courtyard door and blocked the threshold under the door, then called Su Wu and Li Heihu back to their houses.
The two slept on the same bed. Su Wu and Li Heihu chatted for a while. Perhaps it was because it was dark and there were lights everywhere, and because he lived in the house where Li Wenjuan's ashes were placed, Li Heihu felt a little panicked after all.
He didn't mention the words he said during the day. He put the leather bag next to his pillow and talked to Su Wu, and then fell silent as he spoke.
The sound of slow breathing gradually sounded.
Su Wu closed his eyes and his mind was pure.
All the movements inside and outside the house were reflected in his mind.
Behind Li Wenjuan's memorial tablet, the strange charm in the urn kept overflowing and wandering in the air.
The charm that was originally undetectable during the day, as thin as a gossamer, became a little thicker now. It spread in the air, causing the air temperature to drop a lot, and the whole room became cold.
The strange charm is like water soaking.
Submerged the foot of Su Wu's bed.
Submerged into Su Wu's pillow.
Su Wu opened her eyes gently - from time to time, there was a woman hanging on the beam.
The woman seemed to have her back to Su Wu, and she was wearing a snow-white veil on her head. The veil covered her face, making her look like she was wearing a white hijab.
The moonlight outside the window spread silently to the head of Su Wu's bed.
The cold moonlight made the figure of the 'woman' hanging on the beam even more hazy and blurry.
At a certain moment, it turned into a white shadow in Su Wu's field of vision. This white shadow floated leisurely and fell from the air, like a piece of gauze, gently covering Su Wu's figure——
Su Wu remained motionless.
As he watched the white shadow approaching him, the blurry figure suddenly became clear. Under the swaying white veil, blood-red hair appeared. The disheveled hair surrounded a foreigner with a face that was completely different from that of an Oriental.
Face - the 'foreign devil' suddenly stretched out a pair of pale palms and pinched Su Wu's neck!
The moonlight is cool.
The shadows between the windows began to squirm like asphalt, and a dark python was swimming in the shadows, about to wrap around the 'foreign devil'——
At this time, Li Heihu, who was sleeping next to Su Wu, suddenly opened his eyes, quickly picked up the leather bag that had been placed on the bedside for a long time, took out a charm from it, and threw it at the 'foreign devil' on Su Wu's body.
past!
Whoosh!
The talisman outlines many patterns and patterns, and it is not a talisman written by "Yunji script" at all, but it just works now!
A strong and mysterious rhyme emanated from the 'talisman'. A blood-red ghost claw stretched out from the bleeding talisman, grabbed the foreign devil wearing a veil, and tore him away until he dissipated on the spot!
The blood-red ghost claw did not dissipate, but continued to extend. With a sharp twist of the joint, the ghost claw was pulled out at Li Heihu's chest!
Buzz!
The shadows walking around Su Wu suddenly swayed——
As if the moonlight was swaying for a moment, the shadow spread across the blood-red ghost claws.
The ghost claw disappeared.
The shadow also returns to its original position.
Except for the blood-stained talisman falling on the ground, there was nothing unusual anywhere!
Li Heihu was shocked and turned to look at Su Wu.
Su Wu looked calm. He supported the bed with his arms, sat up from the bed, leaned over and picked up the blood-stained talisman, and then picked up a shiny "silver" from the folds of the quilt.
——The former is what was left after the blood-red ghost claws were torn apart by Shadow Trick.
The latter is the remnant of the 'foreign devil' - the 'silver-like cross' that has been melted into a ball.
"This talisman cannot be used to save people - it is used to summon evil spirits." Su Wu held the blood-red talisman and said to Li Heihu, "You found it in a cave in the forest.
Got this charm?"
"Yeah..." Li Heihu looked at the talisman and replied subconsciously, then looked at Su Wu in surprise, "Zhuzi, you are not afraid at all?"
"I often see that female ghost at night, and I'm not afraid of it anymore." Su Wu explained with a smile.
"It seems that you have become much more courageous after recovering from your illness!" Li Heihu praised, looking at the blood-red talisman, his eyes became eager to try again, "Is this talisman used to summon evil spirits?
I see there are many more in that cave!
Shall we go and see it together tomorrow?"
"Go and take a look." Su Wu nodded, crumpled the talisman paper that had lost all its effectiveness into a ball, and then looked at the ball of 'silver'.
Li Heihu also saw the ball of silver in Su Wu's hand, and his eyes widened: "Silver!
This piece of silver can buy a lot of food!"
"This is not silver." Su Wu replied to Li Heihu, "It just looks like silver.
Its texture is softer than silver."
As he spoke, he held the ball formed by the melted cross, squeezed it gently, and then let go.
In the palm of his hand, Su Wu's clear fingerprints were left on the ball of 'silver'.
The strange charm in this ball of 'silver-like substance' has completely dissipated. Su Wu held this ball of something that was the same temperature as himself, and there were some faint cries in his mind.
Now this mass of matter can faintly 'dissolve' in his mind.
Even after the strange charm lingering on it completely dissipated, Su Wu felt the many causes and effects that were twisted into a mess from this silver-like substance!
He speculated that this silver-like substance could very well be dissolved in the blood of living people.
"This is something extracted from people...
Human silver?" Su Wu murmured.
Li Heihu next to him looked confused, feeling that the 'Zhuzi' at the moment had become mysterious.
