Chapter 03 Nightmare
The night is gloomy.
Lin Laoliu opened his eyes and saw darkness. He turned around and saw his little wife sleeping soundly beside him.
It turned out to be a dream.
He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn over when suddenly he felt a sharp pain on his back.
"oops……"
Lin Laoliu couldn't help shouting.
When he shouted, the little wife beside him was also awakened, a little surprised, and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Oh, my wife, my...my back hurts so much..."
Lin Laoliu said with a sad face.
"Wait a minute, let me take a look for you."
The little wife said and stood up in a hurry.
Under the dim light, Lin Laoliu lay lying on the bed, and his little wife carefully lifted the clothes off his back...
All he saw was that there was a thick sore the size of a fist and a half on Lin Laoliu's back.
The thick sore was bright red, and there seemed to be purple-green black blood inside, which looked particularly strange.
"What...what's going on?"
Seeing this thick sore, my little wife was also shocked and quickly told Lin Laoliu.
After hearing this, Lin Laoliu frowned and said, "Isn't it because of the excess fire in the body caused by eating that dog meat today? I said... I was sleeping so well, but why is there a pain in my back?
feels awful."
"It's okay. I have some herbs at home that can reduce swelling and congestion. I'll help you pick out the thick sore and apply the herbs. It will be cured in a few days."
The little wife calmed down and spoke.
Hearing what she said, Lin Laoliu felt helpless and could only nod.
If this thick sore is left alone, it will only become more painful and unbearable. As the saying goes, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Drain the congestion inside, apply herbal medicine, wait a few days, and it will recover naturally.
Thinking of this, Lin Laoliu murmured to himself: "That crow's mouth really got it right... said that I was going to have a bloody disaster..."
"What crow's mouth?"
Hearing Lin Laoliu's casual thoughts, the little wife was a little curious and asked.
"No...it's okay..." Lin Laoliu waved his hand in disapproval and said, "I had a nightmare tonight, it was really scary."
"These dreams are all false, don't take them to heart."
The little wife was very considerate. While comforting Lin Laoliu, she went to get herbs and needle and thread, sterilized them, lit a candle, and baked them on the candle flame. She pressed Lin Laoliu down and the needle and thread dropped.
, stuck on the red and thick sore.
"oops……"
Lin Laoliu let out a scream and was sweating profusely in pain.
Purple bruises kept popping up from the thick sores, staining his back red.
The little wife took a piece of cloth, wiped the congestion clean, and carefully applied the herbal medicine to Lin Laoliu.
After all this was done, the roosters had already begun to crow in the town outside.
In this rural place among the mountains, roosters usually crow, probably around five o'clock.
Many villagers in the town had almost woken up at this point. After washing and having breakfast, they began to go to the fields to do farm work.
Lin Laoliu was an idle ruffian. If his ancestors hadn't left some savings, he would have starved to death long ago.
Even so, the ancestral savings have been spent almost all these years on eating and drinking, and there is not even a decent gadget in the house.
This little sweet wife is very virtuous. Although she has only been with Lin Laoliu for a short time, she is very clever and handy. She helps the tailor shop in the town with some work and earns a little income to support the family.
Moreover, the key point is that Lin Laoliu loves to eat and is lazy to cook, and eats soft food but hard work. This little wife actually has no complaints.
This is what makes the villagers in the town think it is haunted.
If the pie falls from the sky, you can't just point it at one person, right?
"I went to make breakfast. After eating, I went to work. If you don't feel well, just lie down and take a rest."
The little wife said very warmly.
Lin Laoliu nodded, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.
The little sweet wife finished breakfast and went out after eating.
Lin Laoliu had been lying down and sleeping, and the strange dream came again.
In the dream, he was lying on his bed. He vaguely felt like he was being stared at, so he opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, the room was dark and gloomy. He felt a little panicked and looked towards the window.
When I saw this, I was immediately shocked.
I saw an old woman lying beside the window. The moonlight outside shone on the old woman's face. Her face was pale, and her eyes were staring at Lin Laoliu, with a terrifying smile on her face.
…
Lin Laoliu screamed and woke up from his sleep again.
When I woke up, it was almost noon.
The sun is shining brightly outside.
He was still frightened, and his eyes unconsciously glanced towards the window.
Where is the old woman?
"His grandma, what's going on? I...why have I been having weird dreams all day? Could it be that I went to the teahouse and listened to Uncle Bai's scary stories too many times?"
Lin Laoliu muttered this sentence before slowly getting up.
I just feel that the wound on my back is not that painful anymore.
There is food left by my little wife on the table, although it is already cold.
However, for a bastard like Lin Laoliu, he didn't have to pay so much attention. He happened to feel a little hungry, so he supported the bed with both hands and slowly got up.
After washing up, I sat down at the table and started eating.
While Lin Laoliu was eating, he felt a little uncomfortable.
It had only been a day, he had thick sores again, and had two nightmares in succession, which really made him feel a little uncomfortable.
When you are worried, everything you eat becomes like chewing wax and loses its flavor.
Normally, at this point, Lin Laoliu would usually be listening to stories in the teahouse.
After breakfast, Lin Laoliu felt that the thick sore was no longer so painful and he could move around. He thought to himself, why not go out to bask in the sun and go to a teahouse to listen to stories.
Thinking of this, he packed up and went out.
Outside, everything is business as usual.
This day, three poles high, the sun was shining brightly.
As soon as his whole body was illuminated by the sunshine, he felt that most of the depression and haze in his heart had disappeared, and his mood suddenly improved.
The streets were bustling with people, and many villagers went out to do farm work. It was time to go home for lunch, and Lin Laoliu was just the opposite of them.
As he was walking, he suddenly stopped and glanced at the street on the left.
A hotel.
The door sign hangs: Fumen Hotel.
Lin Laoliu was slightly startled and muttered in his heart: The person I met yesterday seems to live here.
