Chapter 22: The Rat’s Fearfulness and Panic
Now think of the two old lady's appearance I want to laugh, meet us such upright young rash, and hold a ferocious big wolf dog, they really do not dare to how. Maybe we were really ignorant, too do not know how to respect the elderly, some too overbearing, but once in a while I think of that time, it is also a kind of people know that they also cure their own body right?
Of course, I know very well, this matter will not be so finished, those old ladies randomly pull a, are not oil lamp, but things have happened, can only take a step to see a step, and we really do not know, what else will happen.
After walking to the front street, Chen Jin loosened the hand of the dog chain, LuLu got free, ran forward happily, stopping from time to time in the corner or tree roots, sniffing a few times, and then peeing, and then proudly ran to our side of the front and back around once, and then ran forward.
When we were almost at Yao Jing's house, Chen Jin suddenly stopped at the entrance of an alley and said with a smile, "What day is it today? One gets up earlier than the other, they've all become diligent."
Guo Chao and I looked down the alley to the north, and it turned out to be Yao Jing walking this way from the other end of the alley, only that he was followed by a person we never expected – Hu Laoshi.
Hu Laoshi was carrying a canvas pocket, his hand was still carrying his peach wood sword used to fool people, small goatee in the cold wind to one side, half bald head sparsely long some can count the gray hair, also in the wind so fluttering ah swings ah, let a person can not help but worry about will not be blown off by the wind.
Yao Jing left arm hanging gauze, drooping head walking in the back of Hu Laoshi, after seeing us three, seems a little embarrassed, smiled sarcastically shook up his head.
After walking in front of us, Hu Lao Si looked at Chen Jin and I, then said with a sigh, "You said you guys are doing this! Alas, if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer before your eyes!"
Chen Jin and I lazily pay attention to this old clergyman, I said to Yao Jing: "Hey Jingzi, what are you doing up so early?"
"No …… nothing." Yao Jing shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "It's not that my mother asked me to hurry up and find Master Hu to give a look at my house."
Chen Jin disdainfully glanced at Hu Laoshi and said, "Let him look at the hair ah? What's wrong with your family?"
"Did something happen at home last night?" I asked hurriedly from the side, my heart getting uneasy.
Hu Laoshi sighed heavily, did not care about us, and went straight to Yao Jing's house, Chen Jin deliberately spit, muttered: "all day pretending to be ghosts, but also pretend to be what immortal, but not as good as a dog, but also dared to eat the long worm, look at the day we caught the long worm when he was scared like that!"
I pulled Chen Jin a hand, signaling him to stop chattering, Chen Jin tilted his head and hummed disdainfully.
"It's really evil, ugh." Yao Jing sighed while walking towards home, said: "Last night I was afraid I did not dare to sleep in the old mansion, slept in our home, but in the middle of the night, the house suddenly crackling mess up, light up to see, you do not know, that a house of rats ah, so jumping up and down, pots and pans all to the ground, tea bowls and needle and thread baskets are thrown all over the place. It's …… ah."
"Fuck, where did that rat come from?" Chen Jin asked with a little surprise and some curiosity.
Guo Chao in the side listening to walk, the body can not help but keep shivering, presumably also thought of their own home last night a night without peace, right?
"How would I know where the rats came from." Yao Jing glared at Chen Jin with some dissatisfaction, and then said, "My father and I carried a stick and smashed it for half a day, and one didn't smash it, and the rats all ran away, and originally we weren't afraid, but those rats ran to the yard, and then they even lined up and stared at our house."
"What's that, it's just a bunch of rats!" I was beside the bold, after all, Chen Jin in front of it, I can not show surprise and fear.
Talking has come to the door of Yao Jing's house, Yao Jing stopped his steps, turned his head and said in a pressurized voice: "Fuck, you guys didn't see it, that slithering hundreds of rats squatting in the snow, staring at the house to see the look, the small eyes of one with a light bulb like, put a green light, my whole family was scared, didn't dare to sleep for a night, just waiting for the day to brighten up a bit after, they blinked! They were all gone in the blink of an eye."
"You're just talking nonsense!" Chen Jin was still a bit unconvinced.
"If you don't believe me, go to my house and take a look, the snow in the yard hasn't been plowed yet!" Yao Jing frowned and sighed, turning his head toward his home.
The three of us followed the walk in, into the yard, only to see next to the street door leading to the door of the hall of the courtyard, diagonally stepped out of a few lines of human footprints, while the courtyard in the middle of the snow, but showed a small pits, in addition to a few slips of tiny footprints, straight to the courtyard wall in front of the several holes newly dug out.
I have heard of who has a weasel in the house, know that sometimes the year is not good in the locust plague, but really have not heard of a plague of rats in the house, not to mention see, but now those marks left in the snow, it is very clear that some rats squatting through the signs of walking through.
The three of us looked at each other in disbelief, and Guo Chao said with some nervousness and fear next to him, "This must be arranged by Mother Xuan, we are in big trouble."
Chen Jin ignored Guo Chao and said, "Then why call Hu Laoshi here? Let him do the magic?"
"Isn't this also out of the question." Yao Jing said helplessly, "My mother and my father discussed this all morning, last night we also kowtowed to the grandmother's temple, we also made amends, and we bought meat and fruit, but this night there is such an evil thing in the house, so we should ask Master Hu to come here to take a look at it, and if there is really something dirty, then we can let him exorcise the evil spirits for us."
"Bullshit!" Chen Jin muttered, but it is not good to say anything, after all, this kind of thing who can not say, if you have the ability to you to explain the explanation, or solve the solution.
If it is the usual time, I will never have any superstitious thoughts about this kind of thing, but these two days the evil things happen frequently, I have decided in my heart that this thing must also have a relationship with the snake in the grandmother's temple, but the specific which snake I am not clear, the green snake was torn up and eaten by the dog Lu Lu, the inexplicable black snake let through the odd black cat to the wounded to run away, the temple, if it is a snake spirit, what kind of snake will it be? If there is a snake in the temple, what kind will it be?
When the four of us were standing in the courtyard hesitating and thinking, not knowing what to do, Hu Laoshi's voice came out from the house:
"Spirit of the sky, spirit of the earth, Tai Shang Lao Jun has come to manifest his spirit!"
"Surrender the demonic spell, deterring the evil spirits in all directions!"
"Once the sword comes out, the evil animals will be afraid, and the Samadhi Fire will be used to kill the ghosts and monsters!"
……
The humming and gibbering sound from Hu Laoshi's mouth indistinctly chattered out, using the kind of accent is particularly odd, let a person listen to feel scalp numb, itchy ears.
I bet, this kind of words are absolutely all memorized things beforehand, otherwise such a series of serious counting words estimated that there must be thousands of words of things, sentences do not rhyme, it is impossible to suddenly use out, besides, I have never heard of incantations and secrets with such a long it.
"There's really something dirty, and before he's even fucking finished, he's slipping away or just finishing off Hu Laoshi! There's no end to the chatter." Chen Jin said with some amusement from the side.
As soon as his words fell, he heard Hu Lao Si burst out in the room, "Where did the sins come from, don't leave quickly!"
The voice fell, but heard Yao Jingniang wow cry out.
The four of us heard this is not good enough? Hurry to the window to look into the house.
Just see the hall Hu Laoshi body draped in a yellow lab coat, dirty do not know how many lifetimes passed down things, I guess also never washed it? Right leg step forward to bend, left leg backward straight stirrups the ground, right hand in the middle of the mahogany sword pointing forward, straight at Yao Jingniang, blowing his beard and roaring: "Zhang Tianshi has been on my body, you are afraid or not afraid?"
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid!" Yao Jingniang was so scared that her face turned as colorful as earth, she fell on her knees with a plop, choking and sobbing uncontrollably.
"Aigoo my big brother Hu, Great Immortal Man Hu, don't scare your sibling, what are you doing?" Yao Mingtang hurriedly stepped forward and pulled one of Hu Laoshi's arms, saying in panic, "Where is this …… where is this?"
Hu Laosi swung his arm, shaking Yao Maitang's hand away, and angrily shouted, "You're a mere mortal, how can you know the power of this? That demon has invaded your wife's body, if you don't drive it away quickly, you won't have long to live!"
The four of us outside looked dumbfounded, looked at each other, Chen Jin gritted his teeth and said: "His grandmother, no disease, but also let him scared out of the disease!"
Said this kid is going to go to the house, Yao Jing and I hastily pulled him, Yao Jing said: "Jinzi what are you doing?"
Yao Jing said, "Jinzi, what are you doing?" "What are you doing? I'm going to beat the shit out of him, look at how scared your mom is!" Chen Jin's voice was much louder, and the house must have heard him clearly.
I looked into the room and saw that Hu Laoshi seemed to be a little weak and looked out at us, then he turned back, waved his arm and swung the wooden sword in his hand a few times, and muttered nervously, "The Heavenly Master is as urgent as the law, and demons and monsters will all obey his orders! Go!"
Have to admit, when Hu Laoshi said this last sentence, he made an absolutely professional movement, his left hand index and middle fingers together and out in front, pointing at Yao Jingniang, his right hand holding up the mahogany sword and retracting it back to his ear, his eyes rounded, Taoist statue solemn.
Yao Mingtang in the house also heard Chen Jin's angry curses, hurriedly walked to the window, angry eyes, waving his hand to indicate that we hurry to leave, look at the shape of the mouth clear for us to see, he is letting us – get out!
Yao Jingniang cried and knelt on the ground, sobbing, "He Hu old brother ah, this …… me this is also all right ah?"
"Jinzi, don't organize things!" I pulled Chen Jin to go out.
Chen Jin shrugged off my hand, said with his voice: "Grandma, we don't mess around, watch a child's play into it?"
I think so, anyway, my heart is also curious about it, also did not pull Chen Jin, the two stood on the platform a little farther from the window, so look at the movement of the house.
