Shen Jize said while gesticulating, with vivid expressions and actions. Lu Rong was very flattering, even if he couldn't understand some parts, as soon as Shen Jize started laughing, he would laugh non-stop, like an excited little frog.
Looking at his smiling face, Shen Jize felt very good in his heart, and suddenly felt that the two had a tacit understanding before, but there was only a misunderstanding before.
After he finished another short paragraph, he suddenly discovered that the surrounding scenery had changed unconsciously when he paused.
The mounds of graves in the distance disappeared and turned into a green grass field, with groups of fireflies flying on it. The gloomy forest with gnarled branches beside him has also become a stream with gurgling water.
The moonlight is no longer gloomy and cold, only soft and peaceful, and the sense of bleak horror that began to pervade disappears instantly.
Seeing that Shen Jize had stopped talking, Lu Rong stopped laughing and looked around, noticing the change here.
He could smell the ever-present stench in the air had disappeared, and Uncle Bai's gentle breath covered the area again.
"Look, there, do you see it? It's a ball of light, a ball of light that can go out." Shen Jize shouted, pointing not far away.
The silver-white light group appeared at some point, hanging on the lawn not far away, and those converging light spots were like gentle stars flowing.
"Let's go, let's get out." Shen Jize led Lu Rong towards the light group.
When Shen Jize opened his eyes, he was not surprised to find that he was still lying on the bed with a towel quilt on his body.
There are crickets chirping outside the window, and the electric fan at the end of the bed is buzzing and shaking your head. Nothing was abnormal, the experiences just now seemed like a dream.
He turned his head slowly, facing Lu Rong's gaze beside him.
Lu Rong lay on his side, wide awake eyes wide open, and moved towards him, putting his arms around his neck.
"Furry." Shen Jize patted his back and called out in a low voice.
"Um."
"You... just woke up, or?" He asked tentatively.
Lu Rong rested her head on his shoulder, looking at the jade pendant hanging around his neck.
The jade pendant was very thin, and it was carved with a piece of green leaf. Looking at it as crisp, tender and green, Lu Rong couldn't help but put it in his mouth, sipped it, and then replied in a low voice: "Deer warrior, paper figurine."
It turned out that it really wasn't his dream, Shen Jize breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
"Don't hold it, there are bacteria." He glanced down at Lu Rong in his arms, stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, and took the jade pendant out of his mouth: "Why do you stuff everything into your mouth?"
"I'll just try it, I won't eat it." Lu Rong said.
"You can't taste it, you can't taste this."
"Oh."
Shen Jize stuffed the jade pendant into his clothes and asked, "Say, are we going to tell the adults about this?"
His tone was hesitant, because he felt that adults would not believe it.
His parents are both university professors, staunch materialists, and they can perfectly explain any weird things from a scientific point of view.
Shen Jize knew that if his parents knew about this, they would think it was a fabrication or a dream, or something went wrong. Even if there is Lu Rong's testimony, it is a team of people making up lies.
But I can also understand that if it is not his own personal experience, he will not believe anyone who tells it.
Hearing this, Lu Rong raised his head from his embrace, with his messy hair, and asked nervously, "Are you going to tell others?"
Shen Jize didn't notice the abnormality in his tone, and replied: "I don't know too well, but what if I don't tell my lord, and I'm dragged in again?"
Lu Rong let go of the hand hanging around his neck, sat up from the bed, and turned his back to him, obviously in a gesture of rejection.
"Don't you want to tell your lord?" He poked Lu Rong's waist.
It was fleshy there, and it would bounce back after poking it. It felt so good, he couldn't help poking it again. Lu Rong twisted his body and didn't avoid it, he just pouted and turned his head to remove his fingers.
Shen Jize supported his head with his elbows: "If you don't tell your lord, what if something like tonight happens again?"
He really didn't want to sleep well on the bed, and was caught by the paper man again. This kind of horrible experience was enough once, and he really didn't want to go through it again.
Lu Rong said with an unhappy face: "You don't need to tell your lord, I will protect you, don't be afraid."
"Where am I afraid? I'm not afraid at all." Shen Jize straightened his upper body sensitively: "Who said I was afraid? I'm being cautious."
Lu Rong glanced at him, his eyes were dark, and there seemed to be a lot to say in his big eyes.
Shen Jize suddenly felt a little guilty, and said in a roundabout way: "Either, or we can reveal something to grandpa. If we don't know, just say it was a dream. Let's see what grandpa says."
Lu Rong struggled for a while, then reluctantly said: "...then, okay, it can only be called a dream."
The two chattered for a while, and the sky turned white. They didn't sleep enough, and they fell asleep before they knew it.
After waking up, it was already broad daylight, Shen Jize took Lu Rong to find Mr. Cai, and secretly talked about what happened last night.
"You two had the same dream?" Cai Ye was washing the fungus, and stopped his hands when he heard this.
"Yes, I had a terrible dream. I told Rongrong about it after waking up, and it turned out that he also had the same dream as me." Shen Jize said.
Lu Rong looked at his feet and nodded indiscriminately.
"What kind of dream is that?" Cai Ye asked blankly.
Shen Jize: "Anyway, there are monsters inside, I don't know if it's a dream, but I still met Furry."
The rich man must have watched the expressions of the two for a while, then lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, and said: "After dinner, I will take you two to the temple, and let the master exorcise you from evil spirits."
"What is exorcism?"
"It is to drive away the monsters who want to approach you."
Shen Jize calmed down, seeing Lu Rong's uneasy look, he comforted in a low voice: "It's okay, there is a master, the master will exorcise evil spirits and drive away monsters."
Lu Rong thought, what I'm afraid of is that the master exorcised the evil spirits and exorcised the deer warriors as monsters.
After lunch, the rich man casually cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, packed a basket of peanuts and eggs, took the two of them out, and climbed up the mountain along a stone step behind the village.
Because the entire Longtan Mountain will be turned into a scenic spot, and the temples on the mountain are also landscapes, and the narrow mountain roads will be turned into spacious stairs.
The sun was shining through the leaves. Shen Jize was wearing a black baseball cap. Seeing that Lu Rong was blushing from the sun, he took it off and put it on his head.
The hat was a bit too big, Shen Jize adjusted the buckle for him, and continued to walk forward, Lu Rong went to hold his hand, ran forward a few steps, and held Cai Ye with the other hand.
The steps are not wide enough to accommodate two people side by side, and three people holding hands, it is not easy to get out of the crowd.
Cai Ye took a step behind helplessly, and said, "Rongrong, you and brother go ahead."
Lu Rong didn't do it, he insisted on holding one person, preferring to climb up with his body leaning sideways. Obviously this posture was extremely awkward, but he was very happy, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile.
Cai Ye didn't say any more, just stretched his hands forward as much as possible. When he saw that the two children were indifferent to each other before, they were so sticky today, and he felt a little funny.
The temple is located halfway up the mountain, hidden among the green trees, and there is a towering tree outside the temple gate, surrounded by wooden fences, with a signboard of a certain cultural relics museum on it.
The temple door with mottled paint was wide open, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw a fat bald man with a rough white coat and a round belly, sitting slumped on a bamboo chair and shaking a cattail fan.
"Master Hong." Cai Ye said respectfully.
Master Hong opened his eyes, got up with a smile, and pulled his cloth shoes to meet him: "Oh, Brother Cai, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Come on, Rongrong, Ozawa, call someone quickly, this is Master Hong."
Shen Jize greeted him politely, but Lu Rong hid behind the rich man and refused to come out.
"Oh, look at this child, this child." Cai Ye couldn't drag him out, and smiled helplessly at Master Hong.
Master Hong stroked his bald head, and said kindly: "It's okay, I'm not good-looking, and I scared the baby."
"He is afraid of meeting strangers and has a thin skin." Cai Ye explained.
The two talked about the old days affectionately, and then walked into the house. The rich man was carrying the basket of peanuts and eggs, and Lu Rong stepped back to join Shen Jize.
Shen Jize looked at the temple curiously, while Lu Rong leaned against him timidly, his eyes fixed on Master Hong's back.
Master Hong looked like a kind and friendly chubby bald head, the heel of his shoe was also crushed, and he took a mouthful of money, which made him feel a little more relaxed.
This temple is no different from an ordinary courtyard, only bigger, with several wooden pillars under the eaves.
There are TV receivers on the roof, and the sound of TV commercials can be heard from one room. Soybeans are drying in the yard, and there is a chicken coop in one corner with a few chickens locked in it.
Shen Jize has only seen temples on TV, and they are all ancient and magnificent temples, but he has never seen this one before. Just about to go for a visit, Lu Rong hung his arm to prevent him from entering the house: "Brother, let's stay outside, don't go in, don't go in, okay?"
Shen Jize followed him and agreed, and stood under the shade of a tree, taking off the hat on his head to let in the wind. Seeing beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and a few wet hairs sticking to it, he brushed it away with his hands, and blew on it.
Lu Rong blinked, his eyelashes trembling like a small fan, Shen Jize was amused, and blew into his eyes again.
"Brother, you are so annoying." Lu Rong said in a coquettish tone with wrinkles on the bridge of his nose and a bulging face.
Shen Jize couldn't help pinching his face again, his hands were soft and slippery, and it felt good to pinch.
"Is brother annoying?"
"bother."
Take the opportunity to pinch a few more times.
"Is brother annoying?" Shen Jize asked happily.
Lu Rong didn't bother anymore, and slapped his hand off.
"Okay, you barbarian, how dare you slap my hand, let's see how I deal with you." Shen Jize touched the back of his hand, pretending to be gnashing his teeth.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Rong quickly put his arms around his waist, raised his head and shouted in a flattering voice: "Brother~"
Shen Jize's face couldn't hold back anymore, and he raised his hand with a smile to ruffle his hair even more. This time Lu Rong didn't resist, and narrowed his eyes enjoying himself, like a cozy milk cat.
