Chapter 3 What do you light candles for?
"Phew!"
I was in a hurry to spit the ribs in my mouth into the bowl.
"What's wrong, unappetizing?" Ji Yayun asked anxiously.
I looked at Sang Lan anxiously, but I saw that she was also looking at me with confusion and trepidation.
Her eyes were as black and white as ever, and they were blood-red.
"Sorry, toothache."
I clutched my cheek to one side and looked at the ribs coming out of the bowl while inhaling the cold air.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, how can it be undercooked?
Aftertaste, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, where does the smell come from?
Could it be that I'm too nervous?
After all, it was the first time I had encountered such a murderous thing, and the scene of Sun Butcher bleeding the black dog was too impressive, and on the way back, my eyes were still red from time to time.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was the case, in order to alleviate the embarrassment, I asked Sang Lan if there was any liquor at home, and a sip of liquor could relieve the pain with a toothache.
Sang Lan said no, she wanted to buy it.
I was so old that I said no, I went to the kitchen and cut a slice of ginger, and pretended to bite between my teeth for a while.
Sang Lan cautiously asked me what the piece of wood that was broken during the day.
I said that it was a town altar wood, which was similar to the shocking wood of the ancient yamen, and was used to deter evil spirits.
"Is it because I touched the town altar wood that it shattered? I really didn't mean to, I just... It's ......"
"It's just that I'm scared, and I grab it with my hands, just like when I meet a hooligan, I grab a brick."
Seeing her look like a child doing something wrong, I couldn't help but laugh, "Don't think about it so complicated, magic weapons are not indestructible, King Kong is not broken, wood will always crack." ”
said this, but muttered in his heart, the wood crack in the town altar is a little weird.
After eating, I handed a bag of glutinous rice to Ji Yayun, asked her to refill it in the pillow, and then went to bed.
Seeing her hesitation, he explained: The spirit is poor, and it is easier to provoke evil spirits, so it is necessary to cultivate the spirit.
When she was inside, I wrapped the wicker I had brought with me in a talisman and inserted it in the cracks of the doors, on the windowsills, and in the corners. Sprinkle the blood of the black dog on the thresholds, under the window lattices.
Sang Lan was young in the end, and she followed me curiously to see me doing this and that, and finally said, "You don't look like a Taoist priest." ”
"I'm a Yin Pavilion, and I'm not a Taoist priest in the first place."
I gave her a talisman folded in a triangle with a red string on it, "Put this on, you go to bed too, and don't come out at night if you hear any movement." ”
Sang Lan hurriedly put the talisman on, "With this, can you keep safe?" ”
Seeing that the red rope set off her slender neck more white and plump, I couldn't help but feel a wave of my heart: "With this, I can keep peace for a while, and with me, I can keep peace for a lifetime." ”
Sang Lan gave me a roll of the eyes, entered the house and slammed the door shut.
A short time later, a mobile phone on the coffee table rang.
Sang Lan ran out and got her mobile phone, and hurried into the house again.
I went to the window and smoked a cigarette, saw that the time was almost up, closed the window, and lit seven candles outside Ji Yayun's door according to the method on the broken book.
He tied three copper coins to his left wrist with a red rope, held them in the palm of his hand, then turned off the light and sat silently on the sofa.
"Hell, hell... This is the last order, after the matter is settled, the money is collected, and I will say goodbye to this business completely. ”
"You're a..."
I was leaning back on the couch and muttering to myself, coldly startled by the sound around me.
Turning his head, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, it turned out that Sang Lan didn't know when he came to him.
Sang Lan put her hands behind her back, pursed her rosy lips, and whispered, "I can't sleep." ”
I was taken aback for no reason, and I was annoyed, but I couldn't get angry at such a charming woman.
Look at her twice, the fire is all gone, but another fire is hooked.
It's not that she's wearing how revealing or sexy she is, it's just an ordinary cotton nightdress.
But the tall figure makes the nightdress look a little short, so that the two long white legs are displayed in front of my eyes, which makes people can't help but want to reach out and touch the lewd play.
"What are you lighting candles for?" Sang Lan sat down next to me.
I gathered my mind and said, "There are some things that cannot be explained in a sentence or two, and you don't need to understand them, so go to bed quickly." ”
I was a little afraid to look at her.
Forensic medicine is also a major in criminal psychology.
Dim light and a special environment can promote the excessive secretion of certain hormones, which can lead to impulsiveness......
"I ask you what you're lighting candles for?"
Sang Lan actually stuck it on me and asked persistently.
Just when I wanted to turn my head and face her.
Suddenly, there was a "wow" crying baby's screaming voice outside the window!
I shuddered at the sound and jumped up from the couch.
Fixed, clutched the three copper coins, and walked to the window step by step.
With a "swoop", I opened the curtain suddenly, and I saw a pair of green eyes shining outside the window!
It was pitch black outside, and only those strange eyes were staring at me up close through the glass.
"That'...... What is that? Sang Lan followed and asked in a trembling voice.
"Yes......"
"Like a cat?" Sang Lan held my arm with one hand and pushed the window with the other.
"Don't ......"
I didn't expect her movements to be so sudden, and I wanted to stop it, but it was already a step too late.
The window was pushed open a crack, and a biting cold wind slipped through the crack.
I couldn't help but shiver twice in a row and hurriedly closed the window.
Feeling that the light in the room was different, he turned around and saw the seven candles outside Ji Yayun's gate, all of which shrank like the size of soybeans and turned into a strange green!
Sang Lan asked with a crying voice, "How can this be?" ”
I don't care to answer her anymore.
Because, at this moment, there was a "crunch... crunch...".
The sound was very soft, but it penetrated the ear drums, and the human brain was numb.
Tell carefully, it looks like someone is behind the door, scratching the door panel with their fingernails!
"Damn, it's still fucking here!"
I couldn't help but curse in a low voice, plucked a willow branch wrapped in yellow charms from the windowsill, and slammed it on the ground.
"Smack!"
The willow branch slammed on the floor with a crunching sound.
At the same time, the scratching of the door also stopped.
But after a while, he began to scratch again, and became more violently manic.
I took two steps forward and pumped the willow branch to the ground again.
Unexpectedly, the willow branch was swept into the air, and suddenly it broke into several sections, and each fell to the ground, making a slight 'snapping' sound.
I hurriedly spread out my palm, and I saw that the yellow talisman wrapped in willow branches had become as if it had been burned by fire, and as soon as my hand was spread, it turned into pieces.
I hurriedly grabbed two willow branches from the corner of the wall, gritted my teeth, rushed to the door of Ji Yayun's room in a few steps, and jerked at the door.
The willow branch broke, the yellow charm burned his hand, and the sound of scratching the door had stopped.
Sang Lan was already shaking, and most of the weight of her body hung on me, crying and shouting: "Auntie, auntie......"
The people in the room seemed to hear her shout, the door opened suddenly, and Ji Yayun walked out in fright, "Lan Lan! ”
"Auntie!" Sang Lan cried and was about to pounce.
I quickly pulled her behind me and took two quick steps back.
Ji Yayun stepped forward, holding her hands in her heart and said anxiously: "Master, it's me." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the method on the broken book is still very effective.
The ghost who was entangled with Ji Yayun should have been beaten away by the talisman willow branch.
I was just about to step forward when I glanced at it and my temples jerked.
Ji Yayun was barefoot, and he actually wore a pair of red embroidered shoes!
