I looked at my second uncle, and then at the dream-killing beast scurrying around in the glass bottle.
"Second uncle, what do you think it is doing?"
The second uncle pondered for a while, his round and white face almost wrinkled with distress: "The second uncle wants to kill the beast with dreams, so he goes to explore Lulu and see where she is now."
I know that the first Lulu my uncle mentioned is the Lulu in the next room, and the second Lulu is the real Lulu.
I also know that the second uncle means to let the Dream Killer Beast enter Lulu's dream, but if the Lulu next door is really Lulu, Lulu may be in danger with the Dream Killer Beast's ability.
Although I have determined that she is not the real Lulu, but what if?
What if it's true?
What if Lulu is killed because of our speculation?
For a moment, my hands and feet were cold, it felt like there was a razor blade in my throat, and I couldn't say a word.
The second uncle seemed to have thought of this. He knelt down and rubbed my head. The second uncle sighed and said: "Yun girl, the second uncle knows that it is very dangerous, so someone needs to protect Lulu in her dream. If she
It’s really Lulu’s words.”
My eyes lit up and I immediately raised my head: "Can I still go in to protect Lulu?"
"Yes." The second uncle nodded, but his expression became more serious, "But no one else can enter the territory of the Dream Killer Beast. Because of human limitations, no one has this ability."
My second uncle's eyes suddenly became very sharp, staring at me like an eagle, and my heart skipped a beat.
I seem to understand what Second Uncle means. Everyone else is human and has limitations.
And I have a pair of snake eyes. I still remember my mother saying that I am no longer a simple person. My teacher and father at home cannot protect me, so I am attracted by the impermanence of black and white.
So, who is more suitable than me?
It's just that I'm not afraid of danger. What I'm afraid of is that I was too young and failed to protect Lulu in my dream, but instead harmed her.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
At this moment, my only thought is that I regret it so much.
If I had known earlier, I would have agreed to be Lu Qi's first horse. If I had been his second horse earlier, I would have learned my skills earlier. Now I won't be so passive. Even saving Lulu makes me very nervous.
I was almost overwhelmed by the feeling of powerlessness.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Hey, girl Yun, don't cry. My second uncle tells you that when you face a choice, since you know there is no way out, then do it bravely. If you do it, you may fail, but if you don't do it, you will definitely regret it.
Instead of wasting time on procrastination, it is better to do it early and get results early.”
I listened to every word my second uncle said, but I was so worried that even the hairs on my head stood on my head.
I rubbed my eyes and couldn't see my uncle's face, but I could hear him sighing again and again.
I know that the second uncle loves Lulu very much, as if he were his daughter. Maybe their bond has been there since the second uncle blocked a shovel for Lulu.
If Lulu is really in danger, my second uncle will also be very sad.
If I don't do it because I'm afraid, and something happens to Lulu, then I will make two people sad.
I understand that the lesser of the two harms each other, my second uncle has taught me this a long time ago.
I wiped away my tears fiercely and mustered up the courage to look directly at my second uncle: "Second uncle! I'm going!"
The second uncle was stunned for a moment, and then he raised a smile, as if he was relieved and helpless: "But girl Yun, the second uncle has to remind you that dreams are true and false, and sometimes they can make you flustered.
What may seem unremarkable may not be true, and sometimes what may seem unremarkable may not be false. You need to use your own judgment.”
I pursed my lips, tears came out again, and the psychological construction I had just made collapsed again.
What judgment can I have? Even the clothes were bought by my second uncle.
However, I still choose to persevere.
"Yeah! I know, uncle!"
The second uncle sighed again, stood up and walked to the balcony.
As soon as Mengshashou saw his second uncle approaching, it was like seeing a ferocious beast. The glass jar was almost knocked over by it.
The second uncle picked up the jar and said to him with a cold expression: "If you help a lot this time, I don't have to kill you."
Mengshashou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became delighted. He put his limbs and paws on the jar, and licked the glass with his long tongue again and again, in a vulgar and flattering manner.
Then the second uncle said: "But I won't let you go either."
Meng Shashou was stunned for a moment, and slid down from the glass in despair.
The second uncle frowned and looked at it. After a while, Meng Sha Beast seemed to have figured it out and nodded weakly to the second uncle.
The second uncle then put the jar away and took me to buy yellow paper, cinnabar, red thread and copper coins.
Like the fourth child, the second uncle may have to set up a formation again.
When we came back, Lulu hadn't woken up yet.
The second uncle called Uncle Duan.
Uncle Duan was depressed because Bai Jing was missing. When he heard that his second uncle asked him to tie up Lulu, he suddenly felt bad.
"Second child, Lulu is just a child. If she makes a big mistake, you can just educate her. Why should she be punished corporally?"
Uncle Duan doesn't know the truth. In his opinion, isn't it just corporal punishment?
Grandpa Duan happened to be passing by, and a very majestic voice rang out: "If you are asked to help, just help. There is so much nonsense."
Uncle Duan looked back at Grandpa Duan, with veins on his forehead rising: "I don't understand you! I really don't understand you! Oh my god, you are so harsh on a child!"
Uncle Duan scolded and went to find the rope.
After a while, Lulu's scream came from the next door: "Uncle Duan, what are you doing! Second uncle! Help! Help!"
Then Uncle Duan muttered an apology: "I'm sorry, Lulu, your second uncle asked me to do this. If you want to complain, just blame your second uncle, but don't come to me."
"..." Why is what Uncle Duan said so strange?
I turned around and saw that my second uncle was already lying on the coffee table and had written all the talismans.
The second uncle raised his head and looked at me. He held his breath and said, "At eight o'clock in the evening, we will start. Are you ready?"
I nodded: "I'm ready, uncle."
Actually I am not prepared, but I really can’t think of what I should prepare.
Forget it, let's just leave it at that, just close and open your eyes and it'll be over.
At six o'clock in the evening, Aunt Duan cooked for us.
Although Aunt Duan didn't say anything, I saw her back, wiping tears and sighing while chopping vegetables.
Fang Zhongyu stopped making trouble and sat on the sofa, looking at me worriedly. He wanted to say something but didn't.
I don't want to talk, I just keep stuffing food into my mouth. I am a tough person, so I have to eat enough to have the strength to work, right?
After finishing the meal, my second uncle put down his chopsticks and called me: "Come up with me."
I wiped my mouth and followed, and could still feel a few worried glances behind me.
Go up the stairs and open the door.
Lulu was tied up on the bed and struggling hard. Uncle Duan stuffed a towel into her mouth. She couldn't speak. She just stared at the second uncle and us viciously.
I looked away guiltily, just in time to see that my second uncle had finished setting up the formation.
The red threads, copper coins, and yellow talismans throughout the room were connected from here to there, and from there to here, up, down, left, left, right, and criss-crossed. I had to walk along the red thread.
The second uncle also lit seven ever-burning lamps in the corner and placed the cans and bottles in separate small circles in the formation.
Then, my second uncle took out the piece of skin that looked like alopecia areata and put it on me.
While tying my collar, the second uncle said: "Don't worry, the second uncle has already planned everything he can. The second uncle will control the dream-killing beast outside. You must do it before all seven lights go out..."
