"You, what are you talking about? Do we need you to save our lives? Explain it to us clearly. " Yuan Xingyi heard Zhang Xiaobao's words and trembled. He felt a little uncomfortable and asked angrily.
Han Yongyao also stared at Zhang Xiaobao, as if he wouldn't let Zhang Xiaobao go if he didn't give them a reasonable explanation.
Zhang Xiaobao waved the grass in his hand and said to the two of them, "See, this grass is different from other places. Look carefully, isn't it a little longer?"
Hearing Zhang Xiaobao's words, the two of them looked around and found that the grass around them was a little longer than the grass in the distance. However, they didn't know what was wrong with the grass being a little longer. Could it be that it could kill people?
"You don't understand, right? Let me tell you, the place you were sitting just now is an old grave. Old graves have this kind of thing. The grass grows a little longer on top. Why? Because grass needs water. How can it grow without water? Old graves are places of extreme Yin. If it's Yin, it's cold. If it's cold, there's more water. "
Zhang Xiaobao explained. In fact, this place was facing the sun and there weren't many trees. When the two of them stood here, the grass would naturally grow a little longer. Even if it was a little shorter, it would be fine. Zhang Xiaobao had another set of words to say.
The two of them quickly took a few steps to the side and seemed to be preparing to change places. Zhang Xiaobao suddenly said, "You want to leave? You've been standing and sitting on people for so long. How can you just leave like that? If that's the case, the thing inside will come out and look for you at night and press on you. "
"Don't scare us. We're not afraid. If we don't leave, are we going to continue sleeping here? What does this have to do with you cutting the grass? "Yuan Xingyi did stop, but he still refuted Zhang Xiaobao's words.
Zhang Xiaobao sighed and shook his head: "You won't understand even if I explain it to you. Look, if the grass is cut down, then there won't be as much grass left in this place. Look, the grass isn't yellow yet. It's a little green. When I cut it, it's like that, understand? "
The two of them shook their heads at the same time. Han Yongyao felt a little cold and shivered. He asked, "Just mowing the grass? Will the things inside not come out? "
"That's right, smart. That's how it is. Since you're on top of him, you have to do something for him. This place is shady, and the thing inside likes the shade. If you cut the grass, the grass that hasn't withered won't be able to get the water out. Only when the thing inside is happy will it forgive you."
When Zhang Xiaobao spoke, his voice trembled with Weiwei's. He sighed at how much the people here believed in such things. If he dared to speak to people like this in the past, he would have jumped up and punched him.
Yuan Xingyi and Han Yongyao looked at each other and nodded. They felt that what Zhang Xiaobao said was indeed reasonable. Yuan Xingyi walked back and squatted beside Zhang Xiaobao. He asked, "If you help us cut the grass, won't it be fine? Why can't we leave? "
"Who said it's fine? Don't you want the thing inside to know that it's because of you two? You have to put the grass under your body to sleep. At night, when the thing inside comes out, it won't harm you. Remember, don't let there be water on the grass. Otherwise, when you sleep, you'll find that it's hard to breathe because something is sitting on you. "
Zhang Xiaobao continued cutting. When he was almost done, he rolled the two bundles of grass in front of Yuan Xingyi and Han Yongyao. The two of them hesitated for a moment, but still chose to listen to Zhang Xiaobao. The main reason was that a few people nearby also came to watch. When they heard Zhang Xiaobao's words, they nodded. At the same time, they began to look around to see if the grass had grown a little.
Yuan Xingyi and Han Yongyao each bundled the grass and dragged it to another place. The grass here was shorter, so they laid the grass on top of it. They looked at the place where they were sitting and standing just now and turned their heads away. It seemed that they didn't want to look anymore.
Zhang Xiaobao cut some more hay and rolled it into two balls to use as pillows. Wang Juan also put some hay under the blanket. This time, they could sleep.
When Zhang Xiaobao returned to Wang Juan, he said to Yuan Xingyi and Han Yongyao, "Remember, don't let the grass under you have water. Otherwise, you'll be pressed down by the thing that comes out of there. That thing is very vengeful. Once it presses down, you don't know how many days it will press down. When you're pressed down, you'll find that when you wake up in the morning, your body will be sore and sticky."
"Xiao Bao, you're really amazing," Wang Juan saw Zhang Xiaobao come back and moved aside to let him sit down and whispered.
"I'm a good person. I didn't poison them. I even helped them a lot. What do you think we should do if the thing below comes up?" Zhang Xiaobao said with a serious expression. Wang Juan couldn't help but laugh.
"You're a good person? En, go to the grave and burn newspapers. Go lie to ghosts. I'm going to sleep first. You watch the fire. Don't let the mosquitoes bite me. This should be the last batch of mosquitoes. They're drilling into my flesh. "
Wang Juan muttered. She arched her body and fell asleep on her side. Zhang Xiaobao held a handful of grass in his hand and sat there. He looked at the fire and swept the grass above Wang Juan's face from time to time to prevent mosquitoes from flying over.
When they slept until midnight, Wang Juan woke up and nudged Zhang Xiaobao. Zhang Xiaobao continued to lie down. When it was almost dawn, Wang Juan didn't keep watch. She got under the blanket and hugged Zhang Xiaobao for a while before they got up together.
Yuan Xingyi and Han Yongyao didn't need to keep watch last night. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took the initiative to ask for it. This way, they could divert the time to scheme against the two people.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan tidied up their things and went to the place where Yuan Xingyi and Han Yongyao slept. They squatted down and looked. A few other people who woke up early also came over.
"It's over. There's water." Among the people who came over, one of them pointed at the grass under Yuan Xingyi and Han Yongyao and exclaimed. This shout woke the two people up. Just as they were about to move, they suddenly felt that their bodies were sore and sticky. Just as they didn't know what was going on, the people around them began to ask one after another.
Some asked if they had nightmares last night. Some asked if they were pressed down. Some asked if their bodies were sore and uncomfortable. Some even came over to touch them to see if they were sticky.
Yuan Xingyi and Han Yongyao listened to the people around them. Looking at the water droplets on the grass, they felt their bodies. Thinking about it, they seemed to have dreamed of something last night. One after another, they couldn't connect the dots. Immediately, their faces turned pale with fright.
"How did you do it? Didn't we say to let the grass dry? It's over now. "Zhang Xiaobao sighed sadly and said there.
Wang Juan nodded at the side. Pointing at the two people's faces, she said, "Why are they so pale? Could it be that their Yang Qi was sucked away?"
The people around them looked at the two people's pale faces and nodded one after another. This made the two people's faces even more unsightly. They looked at each other and immediately began to breathe heavily.
Han Yongyao was the most timid. He was almost scared to tears. He kept muttering, "It's over, it's over. What should we do now? Someone, quickly come over to this young master. "
His family's servants also knew about this matter. At night, they came over to take a look. However, they didn't see clearly. When they touched the grass, they only felt that it was a little moist, but there was no water. A servant was more clever and said, "Young master, don't be afraid. This is dew."
"I don't care what kind of water it is. My body is sore and uncomfortable. Think of a way for me." At this time, Han Yongyao didn't have the time to care about dew. Dew was still water.
The servant thought for a moment and took off a cloth bag from his neck. He gave it to Han Yongyao and said, "Young master, this is what my mother asked for two years ago. You should wear it. It might be useful."
"Okay, when we go back, I will definitely reward you." Han Yongyao took the bag and wore it around his neck. He finally felt a lot better. The servant immediately said,
"Young master, your complexion is better."
"Really?"
"Yes, it's a lot better, but it's still a little pale. It's better than before." A person said with certainty.
Han Yongyao breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally not so afraid, but the uncomfortable feeling in his body did not disappear.
Yuan Xingyi was still afraid. He found his family's people and asked them. They really made an amulet and wore it to thank Zhang Xiaobao.
"Today, when you go to other places, you still have to use that kind of grass as a cushion. See how it goes. If it still doesn't work, then you can only go home early."
Zhang Xiaobao didn't seem to think that wearing an amulet was enough, so he continued to say.
The two people now believed it. They nodded and endured the discomfort in their bodies to eat. When they ate, they felt disgusted.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took out two dry steamed buns and made some cucumber and goose egg soup. They put some ginger foam in it and soaked the steamed buns in it. They ate until they were full. They didn't want to catch a cold like Yuan Xingyi and Yuan Xingyi. How could it not be uncomfortable to use the grass? If it was an adult, they would directly fall ill.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't want to kill them, so he only let the two of them use the grass for one more night. There was a lot of dew on the mountain. Not to mention the grass, even the dry grass had a layer of dew on it.
When everyone was almost up, those who wanted to go to the place first left early. In fact, it was useless. At night, if these people who rushed to the place first dared to sleep in the same place, it would have some effect. Unfortunately, even if they knew that there were people looking after them, they still wanted to rest with the rest of the group.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't talk as usual. They walked and talked. Usually, Wang Juan asked and Zhang Xiaobao answered.
"Xiao Bao, do you think that thing that came out of the ground will look for the two of them tonight? Will it find us? "Wang Juan's voice wasn't soft. She also looked at Yuan Xingyi and Yuan Xingyi.
"Who knows? I hope it won't find us. Let's go further away at night. Don't sleep too well at night. Otherwise, we won't be able to react in time. "
Zhang Xiaobao also looked back at the two of them and shook his head. He was thinking of a way, which meant that he should sleep less at night.
