Chapter 965
Li Heihu patted Su Wu's shoulder: "Don't be afraid.
I will sleep with you tonight-I found a stone cave in the mountain when I was hunting today. There are many talismans in the cave. I picked one. Maybe it will be useful tonight and can scare away the female ghost with a white veil!"
He patted the leather bag behind his butt again.
"Okay." Su Wu nodded.
Then, the two chatted for a while. Grandma prepared the food and called Li Heihu to get the bowls and serve the dishes.
Su Wu begged many times and finally got grandma's consent, so he could get out of bed and eat by himself.
Li Heihu and Su Wu sat around a heavy wooden table in front of the firewood room, with a bowl of porridge in front of each of them. There was a large bowl in the middle of the table, with three or five cornmeal and sweet potato flour cakes and steamed buns piled in it.
Grandma stood by the stove and opened the lid of the pot.
The aroma of stewed chicken wrapped in steam spread in the firewood room and spread outside the house.
Li Heihu smelled the fragrance, his eyes lit up immediately, and he stretched his neck to look into the woodshed-
The sound of a spatula flipping in the woodshed was heard, and grandma's voice followed out of the house: "Huzi!"
Hearing grandma's call, Li Heihu's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up and went into the woodshed.
"Bring a bowl to your grandfather, great grandfather, fourth grandfather, and fifth grandfather each. Don't play on the way, come back and eat as soon as you deliver it!" The old woman scooped out bowls of chicken stewed with various vegetables from the big black pot steaming with water vapor, and placed it on a big tray.
She scooped out four bowls of vegetables from the pot at once, and there was not much left in the pot.
Li Heihu took a few deep breaths, holding the tray, but he was a little hesitant and didn't want to leave.
Looking at his appearance, the old woman laughed: "If you don't come back, we won't eat!
Go!"
"Hey! Then I'll go now!" Li Heihu smiled and hurriedly carried the tray out of the woodshed.
Grandma's voice followed behind him: "Don't play around on the way...
Come back as soon as you deliver it, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Okay!"
Li Heihu agreed and rushed out of the yard like a gust of wind.
Grandma took out the chicken from the pot.
There didn't seem to be much left in the pot, but it still filled a bowl.
She picked out a piece of fat chicken with chopsticks and put it in Su Wu's bowl. She looked at Su Wu with a smile and said, "Zhu Zi, are you hungry? Eat a piece first."
She had clearly promised Hu Zi before that she would not eat until he came back, but now she suddenly changed her mind - Su Wu looked at the piece of black sauce chicken breast in the bowl, but he couldn't blame grandma in his heart, and he buried his head and ate slowly.
He ate so slowly that his grandmother was 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."
"Okay." Grandma touched his head, "You two have been good friends since childhood, so wait for him!"
Not long after, Li Heihu came back with a tray.
The three of them gathered around the table to eat.
In this year, vegetables and rice are not easy to come by, let alone meat? Li Heihu didn't bother to talk, repeating the movements of raising chopsticks, putting down chopsticks, chewing, and swallowing, and Su Wu also learned to eat voraciously.
Grandma ate steamed buns in small bites, and occasionally picked up vegetables with chopsticks.
After eating a small bowl of porridge and half a steamed bun, she stopped and looked at Su Wu and Li Heihu quietly. The two children, Su Wu and Li Heihu, seemed to be filled with soft light in their eyes surrounded by smile lines.
After eating, Su Wu and Li Heihu cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks.
Li Heihu said hello to his grandmother, saying that he would sleep here today, and then he moved the quilt and spread it on the bed where Su Wu was sleeping.
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 tell a few storytelling books. In the hot summer, when the old people in the village couldn't sleep on the kang, they would each collect one or two coins and ask the old man to tell stories for everyone in the land temple in the south of the village.
Later, the government did not allow it and beat the old man.
In addition, people's lives became increasingly difficult, and the years of famine came. No one could easily take out one or two coins, so the only entertainment activity in the village was abolished from then on.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren chatted for a while in the yard.
It was getting dark.
The setting sun cast on the wall of the neighbor's house in front of the main hall, reflecting a red and yellow glow.
This little light was also slowly extinguished in two or three quarters of time.
Grandma locked the gate, blocked the threshold, and called Su Wu and Li Heihu back to their rooms.
The two slept on the same bed. Su Wu chatted with Li Heihu for a while. Perhaps it was because it was dark and everywhere was dark, and he lived in the room where Li Wenjuan's ashes were placed, Li Heihu was a little scared, so he didn't mention the words he said during the day. He put the leather bag next to the pillow and talked to Su Wu, and then he fell silent.
The sound of slow breathing gradually sounded.
Su Wu closed his eyes, his mind was clear.
All the movements inside and outside the house were clear in his mind.
Behind Li Wenjuan's tablet, the strange rhyme in the urn kept overflowing and wandering in the air.
The strange rhyme that was originally imperceptible and thin as a gossamer during the day became a little thicker now. It spread in the air, causing the air temperature to drop a lot, and the whole room became cold.
That strange rhythm is like water soaking.
Flooded the foot of Su Wu's bed.
Flooded Su Wu's pillow.
Su Wu gently opened his eyes - there was a woman hanging from the beam from time to time.
The woman seemed to have her back to Su Wu, and she had a snow-white veil on her head, which covered her face, making her look like she was wearing a white veil.
The moonlight outside the window silently sprinkled on Su Wu's bedside.
The cold moonlight made the figure of the woman hanging on the beam even more hazy and blurred.
At a certain moment, it turned into a white shadow in Su Wu's vision. This white shadow floated and fell from the air, like a veil, gently covering Su Wu's figure -
Su Wu was motionless.
As the white shadow approached him, the blurry figure suddenly became clear. Under the swaying white veil, blood-red hair appeared. The messy hair surrounded a foreign face that was very different from an oriental face. The "foreign devil" suddenly stretched out a pair of pale hands and pinched Su Wu's neck!
The moonlight was cold.
The shadow between the windows began to wriggle like asphalt, and the dark python swam in the shadow, 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, and directly pinched out a talisman from it, and threw it at the "foreign devil" on Su Wu's body!
Swish!
The talisman with many patterns and patterns was not written in "Yun Ji characters" at all, but it worked!
A fierce and strange aura emanated from the ‘talisman’, and a blood-red ghost claw stretched out from the bleeding talisman, grabbed the foreign devil wearing a veil, and tore it apart on the spot!
The blood-red ghost claw did not dissipate, but continued to extend, and the joints suddenly turned, and the ghost claw reached towards Li Heihu's chest!
Buzz!
The shadow lurking around Su Wu suddenly shook at this moment -
It was as if the moonlight shook for a moment, and the shadow followed it over the blood-red ghost claw.
The ghost claw disappeared.
The shadow also returned to its original position.
Except for the talisman stained with blood that fell to the ground, there was no abnormality around!
Li Heihu was still in shock and turned to look at Su Wu.
Su Wu looked calm. He supported himself on the bed with his arms, sat up from the bed, leaned over and picked up the blood-stained talisman, and then picked up a ball of shiny "silver" from the folds of the quilt.
——The former was the remains of the blood-red ghost claws torn apart by the shadow ghost.
The latter was the remains of the "foreign devil" - the "silver-like cross" that had melted into a ball.
"This talisman cannot be used to save people - it is used to summon ghosts." Su Wu pinched the blood-red talisman paper and said to Li Heihu, "Did you find this talisman in a cave in the mountains?"
"Yes..." Li Heihu looked at the talisman paper 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 am not afraid anymore." Su Wu explained with a smile.
"It seems that you have become much braver after recovering from your illness!" Li Heihu praised, and looked at the blood-red talisman paper, his eyes became eager again, "Is this talisman used to summon ghosts?
I see there are still many in that cave!
Shall we go and have a look together tomorrow?"
"Let's go and have a look." Su Wu nodded, crumpled the talisman paper that had lost all its effectiveness into a ball, and turned to look 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 melting of the cross, squeezed it gently, and then let go.
In his palm, on the ball of "silver", Su Wu left a clear fingerprint.
The strange charm in this ball of "silver-like substance" has completely dissipated. Su Wu held this ball of the same temperature as himself, and some cries and shouts faintly sounded in his mind.
Now this ball of substance can faintly "dissolve" in his mind.
Even after the strange charm lingering on it completely dissipated, Su Wu felt many causes and effects from this ball of silver-like substance that were tangled into a mess and had an unknown destination!
He guessed that this ball of silver-like substance could most likely dissolve in the blood of living people.
"This is something extracted from humans...
Human silver?" Su Wu murmured.
Li Heihu next to him was confused and felt that the current "pig" had become mysterious.
