I raised monsters in the Song Dynasty

Li Banxi was woken up by a knock on the door. He was a light sleeper, and jumped up from the bed at once. For a while, he thought he was in the capital!

He said "come" and "come" while looking for shoes under the bed. His head was dizzy when he just woke up, and his nose was not clear, which almost made him fall headfirst.

When he stumbled and opened the door, he realized that it was the second brother who hadn't seen him for a while who knocked on the door.

"Second brother," Li Banxi saw that he looked anxious, and there was a burning blister at the corner of his mouth, thinking that something happened at home, so he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"Banxi!" The second son's voice was obviously anxious, and his panting was louder than before. He probably trotted all the way, "You read a lot, please help my mother to read it! My mother has been in a coma for three days !"

Li Banxi was taken aback, this Aunt Lan was the first person he saw after transmigrating, and she also took good care of herself on weekdays, so it was heartbreaking to hear the news.But he couldn't show it on the surface. Originally, Mrs. Lan was so seriously ill that her son was in a hurry. If he panicked, it would only increase his troubles.

He comforted the second son first: "Brother, don't worry, have you invited the doctor yet?"

The second son held his hand tightly, as if grasping at the last straw: "Please! I have invited several, but nothing can be seen. A doctor even said that he was bewitched."

"Bewitched?" Li Banxi patted him on the shoulder with his middle hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, let's go and have a look first!" After speaking, he closed the door and hurried away without saying hello to those who were still sleeping in the room. Went home with my second son.

The two left in a hurry, and Li Banxi began to ask carefully: "What happened to Mrs. Lan three days ago?"

The second son shook his head and frowned: "There should be nothing unusual. Those doctors have asked me several times. That day, my mother was the same as usual. She first cooked breakfast for the family, then went to the field to do some light work, and went back at night. Then cook, and then...then passed out the next day."

Li Banxi listened carefully, and found that there was nothing wrong with just listening to his narration, so he reminded: "Think about it carefully, have you missed any details?"

The second son was so anxious that tears almost fell out, he quickly shook his head: "I thought about it carefully, it's really nothing special."

Aunt Lan has been in a coma for three days, and Li Banxi can understand the anxiety of being a child, so she no longer insists: "Forget it, let's see the situation first."

After that, the two of them were silent all the way, and arrived at Mrs. Lan's house after a long time.

The second son took him into one of the rooms. As soon as Li Banxi entered the room, he smelled a strong and bitter smell of traditional Chinese medicine. He also saw the pots with only the dregs of the medicine on the table, so he knew that the medicine had not been used less these days. .

The doctor I just saw was also seen, and the medicine that should be prescribed was also prescribed, but Aunt Lan still didn't wake up, no wonder the family members were so anxious.

The second son's father was sitting around the bed, holding a bowl in his hand, and was holding a spoon in the other hand to feed Aunt Lan's mouth in small bites. However, the unconscious person couldn't swallow it at all, and the medicine he fed was tightly closed. His mouth dripped slowly onto the pillow under his head.

The person who fed the medicine still refused to give up, and insisted on continuing to feed it even though it was all absorbed by the pillow. Li Banxi stood aside so as not to disturb him, so he carefully observed the face of the unconscious person.

Taking a closer look, Aunt Lan's face is not as haggard as imagined, but her cheeks are blushed, her lips are not chapped, and there is even a smile on the corner of her mouth.

No matter how you look at it, Li Banxi thinks that smile is very strange, goosebumps on his back all of a sudden, the uncle seems to feel that there is someone helping him, so he looks back at him.

Li Banxi didn't know what to say in this situation, as if saying nothing could comfort others, he just nodded slightly.

The uncle sighed, and finally gave up on feeding Aunt Lan's mouth with medicine, stood up with the bowl in his hand, and left the room.

Li Banxi doesn't know anything about medicine, and he doesn't even know magic spells except for his demon-absorbing physique. He can't change anything when he comes, he just came to greet him.

Li Banxi gently held Aunt Lan's hand. There was a thick callus on that hand. Touching it was no different from touching the bark of the jujube tree at the east end of the village.But Li Banxi felt that this hand was warm and dry, with a faint medicinal scent.

But he was always wondering that Mrs. Lan had such a sad face, not like a patient who had been in a coma for three days, so he asked, "Second brother, has Mrs. Lan eaten in the past few days?"

The second son was like a deflated ball, half paralyzed on the bench and said, "I can't even feed the medicine, how can I feed it?"

Li Banxi had expected this, and this time he asked the question he wanted to ask: "But look carefully at Aunt Lan's face, it doesn't look like the face that a comatose person should have!"

"Yes!" The second son glanced at the bed, his face was full of worry and sadness: "Those doctors all said the same thing, after the last doctor prescribed the medicine, he insisted that he was possessed by evil spirits. It is said that drinking medicine is useless, if we ask a Taoist priest to do a spell to drive away the unclean things, the disease may be cured."

Li Banxi frowned. The medical technology in ancient times was underdeveloped, and even a small cold could lead to a serious illness. Those doctors may have limited medical skills to make such a conclusion.

"Then have you hired a Taoist priest?"

The second son nodded: "Please, I have invited two famous people in the town. One is from the Yin Yang family, named Xu Ba. Before others buy a house, they always ask him to come over to see Feng Shui. I heard it is quite good. He came here the day before yesterday. , After looking in the room for a few times, he pointed to the direction by the window, saying that there was something dirty."

"Dirty things? What dirty things, did you throw them away?" Li Banxi asked in surprise.

The second son shook his head: "I asked, but he didn't say anything specific. He just left a sentence of 'the secret must not be revealed' and left."

Li Banxi thought to himself, is it true that all high-ranking people are the same?It's half the story, even the reason is the same.

"What was there originally in that place?" There is nothing beside the window now, it is estimated that the second son moved the things that were originally placed there after listening to Xu Ba's words.

"A cabinet, made of ordinary wood, with some old things in it, nothing. After the Taoist priest left, I moved it outside, but my mother was still like that, and didn't wake up."

Li Banxi got up, thinking that although he couldn't help much, it would be better to take a look, so he stood up: "Can I go and have a look?"

The second son also got up. The hard work of the past few days seemed to have made him a lot older, and his voice was tired: "Let's go, I'll take you to see it."

Li Banxi followed to the outside of the house. Sure enough, it was exactly as Erzi described. There was a wooden cabinet on the ground. The cabinet was very old, with many scratches on the outside and no lock. There should be no valuables inside.

"Can I open it and have a look?" Li Banxi asked politely even though the value of the contents could be seen from the outside.

The second son nodded, sighed and said, "Look." Then he squatted down and opened the box and said, "Actually, I called you here today because I wanted you to see my mother again. I won't see you anymore."

Li Banxi looked up at him, with a bit of anger in his tone, but obviously suppressed the anger because of the other party's mood: "What are you talking about? You're going to give up after not waking up for a few days. Some people are lying on the bed. I've been unconscious for a month, and I won't be able to live well after that. Let's take a look at the situation first, find out the reason, and invite more doctors to come over. Among the ten or eight out of ten, there must be someone whose opinion is useful.

Brother, don't think about these things, continue to invite the doctor over tomorrow, and burn incense sticks in the temple to worship. "

After that, he stuffed the money bag on his clothes to him, "Don't worry about the money, I still have it."

The second son's eyes were reddened by these words, and finally he shook his teeth and said: "I will return the money to you later."

Li Banxi smiled lightly, and began to lower his head to check the items in the cabinet.

This cabinet looks old from the outside, and so does the inside. When I lower my head, a musty smell unique to wood penetrates into my nostrils.Li Banxi's nose has always been sensitive, and after he sneezed, he began to look through it.

After searching carefully, I found that apart from some old clothes and porcelain bowls, there was only a clay doll left in the cabinet.

Li Banxi carefully picked up the clay doll, and found that it was no different from the one sold by the peddler on the street except that the body was touched a little brighter. Even compared to the peddler's delicate one, this one was obviously much rougher in workmanship.

But judging from the fact that the doll has been polished, it should be someone who often holds it in their hands.

"Are all Aunt Lan's things in this cabinet?"

The second son shook his head: "There are a few clothes here that I had when I was a child. My mother still keeps them, and she is waiting for her grandson to wear them for him."

After saying this, the tone became dark again: "If I knew it earlier, I would have married a wife obediently. If my mother...she would have left just like that...I am an unfilial son...how should I face his old man when we meet in the underworld?" Said After all, he sobbed softly.

Li Banxi himself was feeling very uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to comfort him at this moment, he just patted him on the back lightly and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, just wait, wait for Aunt Lan to get better, and then give her good care A grandson will come out."

When the second son heard this, he thought that even the thin and weak scholar in front of him was more optimistic than his rough man, so he wiped away the tears on his face, and said a little embarrassedly: "I will continue to invite the doctor in the afternoon, Banxi, thank you very much is you!"

Li Banxi shook his head, raised the clay doll in his hand and asked, "Does this belong to Aunt Lan?"

The second son nodded.

"When did you buy it?"

The second son shook his head: "I've been here since I was born, mother, he never mentioned it, and I didn't care about it."

Seeing Li Banxi frowning, the second son asked, "What? Do you suspect that there is something wrong with this thing?"

After finishing speaking, he shook his head and retorted: "Probably not. This thing has been there since I was born. If there is a problem, it should have happened long ago. It won't be like this until now."

Li Banxi also guessed, hearing what the second son said, he said: "I'm also curious, but from what you say, it shouldn't be a problem with this thing."

After finishing speaking, he was about to put the doll back, but for some reason, Li Banxi felt that the doll was a lot heavier when it was put back into the cabinet.

Li Banxi thought it might be his own delusion, so he closed the cabinet, packed up with his second son and went to the town to ask for a doctor, and also went to the temple to burn incense for safety.

It was already evening when I came home from the trip, and Li Banxi was so tired that he fell headlong on the bed. Today is a very busy day, and the thoughts in his heart surged up when he was free.

Li Banxi got up and looked around, nothing in the house had been touched, it was still the same as after he went out in the morning.Has Lian Shuo come back yet?

Thinking like this, there is something extra under Li Banxi's feet, but at first glance it turned out to be Dabai.

"What?" Li Banxi simply nestled on Dabai's body, "It's so comfortable, I don't want to get up."

Dabai couldn't speak either, so he just stayed there silently and let Li Banxi paralyze.

"Leaning on you, I feel better." Li Banxi sank half of his face, "I shouldn't be in such a hurry, right...he will definitely come, I should believe him."

The room was quiet, Li Banxi just fell asleep on Dabai's body, and seemed to have had a good dream, and I don't know if he dreamed of someone he dreamed of.

The author has something to say:

Dabai is so comfortable, what should I do if I don’t want to get up?
