The person in the ear

Several flashlights were fired at the spot where Brother Yaozi was looking, illuminating every corner and nook.

Even so, it still took me a while to find what Brother Yaozi said.

At first glance, they look like two tiny insects.

After taking a closer look, I realized that they were two tiny people, only about the size of a thumb's belly, one male and one female. The boy had his upper body naked, and the girl only had a bellyband. The two were holding each other's arms, walking along the

The horns of the ice cave jumped away, looking quite happy. It seemed that they didn't think that we would find them at all. The moment they were illuminated by the strong light, they yelled "Yeah" and the two of them walked away with their arms on their shoulders.

With their arms together, they each ran away for their lives.

But after all, it is a human-shaped thing. No matter how hard it runs, it can't run very fast with its two short legs. It can't even compare with the cockroaches scurrying all over the ground.

"What is this?"

Lao Bai wondered: "It's just these two little guys who took the life of a man like Big Horned Deer?"

However, the shock was short-lived, and soon a familiar smile appeared on his face: "Hey, you two little ones are already here, and you still plan to leave? Stay and play with Mr. Bai!"

As a representative figure in the scum circle of punching Nanshan Nursing Home and kicking Beihai Kindergarten, Lao Bai's favorite thing is this kind of little thing that looks easy to bully. He couldn't help but step forward and reach out to catch the two desperate people.

The little man was running away with his hands flying, a typical toad-catching posture, but it was very useful. With a "pop", he knocked the two little men into the palm of his hand.

Soon, the smile on his face froze, and quickly turned into the color of pig liver. He screamed "Ouch" and jumped up. Looking at the palm of his hand, blood was flowing out, and the blood was stinging.

I don't know what the wound looks like, but it makes a "sizzling" sound, as if it has been corroded by acid.

"waste!"

The kite brother looked at Lao Bai, whose hands were twitching like chicken claws and howling in agony, and scolded him coldly. However, having learned from the past, he did not rush to capture these two little things, but quickly unscrewed the lid of the kettle.

, and quickly knocked down the two little people who had just escaped.

But it only held up for a moment. There were only two "clicks", and the aluminum kettle lid was torn open. There was no corrosive substance on the raised part, and it actually lifted up.

Bubble, as for the two little people, they had already escaped through the torn hole.

I thought to myself, these are really two copper peas that cannot be steamed, boiled, beaten, flat-fried, or fried!

Two attacks failed, and the two little ones had already escaped to the entrance of the cave, and were about to crawl out through the cracks in the ice blocking the entrance. I knew that it would be impossible to catch them alive, so I raised my feet and headed towards

The two little men stepped on it and stomped hard.

There were two crunching sounds under my feet, like stepping on a bulging fish bladder and exploding it.

When he raised his feet, he saw two masses of blood exploding under his feet, like the two puddles of mosquito blood left behind by swatting a dead mosquito. The two little people had been trampled to pieces.

Lao Bai looked at this scene and said in shock: "Let me go, are you so damn capable of killing me?"

There was a burning pain in my ears, and I sneered: "What are you doing with these two things that are harmful to people's lives and eat people's brains? If you don't kill them, they will get stuck in people's ears again. It's impossible to prevent them. They'll be dead!" "

Having said that, I still knelt down and looked at these two things carefully.

In fact, at first glance, it looked like a human being. After being trampled to death, I realized that this thing was really like a mosquito. It seemed that apart from the skin and flesh, there was only a ball of plasma left, and the body was actually covered with a thin layer of blood. The down is white, but very thin, and the two things are too small to see clearly.

Zhang Xinya came up to look at it for a moment, made gestures with her hands, and asked me puzzledly: "There are two things about the size of a finger's belly. They look furry. They go in through the ears and holes. Don't they feel itchy? Are you unconscious?" "

I said: "Not only was it unconscious, I even took it out, but there was still nothing strange. It just happened to be lodged in my ear, and I couldn't see it even by looking at it."

"What the hell is this..."

Zhang Xinya murmured.

This question is not one that we can answer. Several people looked at my master in unison.

My master had been watching all this in the corner. At this moment, he showed an unprecedented hesitation and said in an uncertain tone: "This... seems to be someone in the ear!"

While bandaging his hand, Lao Bai asked who the person in the ear was. He had never heard of it at all.

"No one can tell."

My master sighed: "I just know that in the old days, some people who liked to use Daoyin Technique to maintain their health might encounter this kind of thing. When doing Daoyin Technique, this thing would get into people's ears and whisper. Soon after, , this person will suffer from madness. However, I have never heard that those who drill into people's ears while they are performing guidance techniques will pierce the person's skull, and even eat meat and suck brains. I don't know what it is. Not that kind of person...

Let’s just take it as such. Some people say that these are some dead children in the old days. Their souls got into coptis or ginseng, and they were resurrected by chance and became such things..."

After thinking about it, my master added: "However, this kind of thing seems to be extremely sensitive to the drastic changes in the world and the yin and yang. The old way of guiding is a health-preserving technique. In the final analysis, it is actually adjusting one's own yin and yang, which will attract this thing. .

In addition, it is said that this thing will appear during the winter solstice.

Ancient books say that during the winter solstice when Yang Qi rises, the emperor will be the leader, so he congratulates you.

It can be seen that this winter solstice is also a node in the alternation of yin and yang in the general environment of heaven and earth.

Up to now, many remote places still retain the custom of "biting miscellaneous diseases" on the Winter Solstice. It is generally said that eating some fried beans and the like during the Winter Solstice can ensure good health in the coming year. This saying Over time, it has become a little biased. In fact, this custom of "biting miscellaneous diseases" was originally to prevent people from getting into their ears. They were worried that the things would get into people's ears during the alternation of yin and yang in the winter solstice, so they chewed some beans. , use the sound to scare this thing away..."

This is all my master knows.

After finishing speaking, he looked up and looked outside and said expressionlessly: "The wind and snow have stopped."

Sure enough, after we killed these two "people in the ears", the wind and snow outside stopped silently.

However, after being stimulated by the strong wind, it was so cold outside that the snowflakes seemed to turn into fine particles floating in the air, refusing to fall, so that it was still a vast white patch, and it was not clear what the situation was.

Brother Yaozi frowned and said: "First, one person died, the wind and snow stopped for a while, and this time two so-called people in the ears were killed, and the wind and snow stopped again. Is there any connection between them?"

My master said: "I'm not sure, but as expected, even if there is some evil spirit causing trouble and causing two strong winds in succession, I think I'm already exhausted. If there is still energy left, it would be too terrible. I definitely won't hide it.

In the dark, I am afraid that I will show up and claim my life.

Zhang Xinya heard this and asked hurriedly: "Uncle, let's... go out?"

My master nodded, his eyes were deep, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.

I rubbed my ears, and the pain had subsided. I was sure that the other party had not hurt my eardrums. I felt relieved, put on my backpack, and got up to lift the huge ice blocking the entrance of the cave.

I don't know if there was something blocking the outside after a gust of strong wind, but I couldn't shake the giant ice with my hands alone.

The crazy bear saw this and came to help, but the giant ice that could have been carried with his arms still remained motionless.

With no other option, the two of us could only turn sideways, squatting slightly on the lower body, and push it with our shoulders. We both used our strength together, and finally there was movement.

At this moment, Brother Yaozi suddenly shouted: "Be careful!!"

My movements stagnated, and I subconsciously looked back. Through the giant ice, I could vaguely see a huge black shadow running towards us...
