Wei Lai wasted a lot of effort, and finally sent away this "big brother" who he sent to the door.

In this process, Wei Lai made great efforts to ensure that he recognized the loyalty of this "big brother", which satisfied Sun Daren's desire to protect from nowhere.

It was already noon, Wei Lai ate two steamed buns, drank some water, and began to take care of everything in the house. The things in the old house were bad and rotten after the flood, and now except for the chairs in the main house and the stone-cast stove in the kitchen, there is no half of the objects that can be used. Wei Lai cleaned the house, and simply spread his own futon on the ground, so that he could have a place to stay, and the only trouble was that the firewood piled up in the kitchen had long been damp and moldy, and there was no way to use it anymore, so he thought that he had to find a time to go outside and chop some back, but such a rainy day was obviously not a suitable time.

Wei Lai sighed, and took out the silver ticket from his arms again, and only this thing could he feel a little at ease.

After taking care of everything, the time was already evening, Wei came to see the gloomy sky, squatted under the eaves and nibbled on the last two steamed buns, then took out the umbrella and got into the rain curtain.

As usual, he still couldn't move and went to the Dragon King Temple. After so many days of heavy rain, there were very few pilgrims in the temple, and Wei Lai saved a lot of trouble, but he finished his "deed" that could not be seen by outsiders in half an hour.

The rain was very heavy, and the sky was a lot darker, and Wei Lai, who was standing under the eaves of the Dragon King Temple, was a little worried.

Such a heavy rain, Rao is holding an umbrella, but it is inevitable to be drenched by the heavy rain, if the purse in his arms is wet again, today's hard work will be in vain. But Wei Lai also knew that the rain would not be small.

He opened his umbrella, gritted his teeth, and was about to step into the rain.

Rumble!

A muffled sound came suddenly, Wei Lai was excited, looked up at the sky, and secretly thought it was thunder, but the strange thing was that after this muffled sound, the rain was lighter.

Wei Lai blinked, and muttered in his heart: Could it be that this old snake also has a nap?

Thinking like this, he didn't delve into the thoughts, and hurriedly took advantage of the rain to break his feet and run wildly.

The old house was much closer to the Dragon King Temple than the Lu Mansion, and it was only half an hour before Wei Lai returned to his house.

Strangely, he had only stepped into the house with his front feet when there was another muffled sound in the sky, and the rain was loud and loud.

Wei Lai, who put away the umbrella, turned his head and looked at the sky that had completely darkened with a strange expression, frowning and his hair was stunned, but he couldn't figure it out after all, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

......

"Ah!!h

Wei Fuzhong, who has not been popular for six years, lit a candle today.

Wei Lai, shirtless, cut his back with the dagger left by Old Man Cao, and sprinkled the gold dust scraped off the back of the statue of the Dragon King Temple into the wound. The scorching pain caused Wei Lai to let out a low roar of pain, and this situation lasted for half an hour before the pain subsided.

Wei Lai, who almost fainted, lay on the ground, sweating profusely and panting, and finally eased up, but he didn't care about anything else, so he picked up the bronze mirror on the ground as soon as possible, tilted his neck and looked at the scene in the bronze mirror - the dragon phase that had not been eyed had reached the end stage, and there were still three painted scales that had not been inlaid with gold dust.

He folded his fingers and calculated, today is the ninth day of the fifth month, when Lu Guanshan wants to do something on May 14, his sixteenth birthday is on May 25, everything is in time, as long as Tiangong is still as beautiful as today.

Knock knock!

While he was thinking about it, there was a sudden knock in the direction of the door of the house.

Wei Laijing sat up, skillfully put his belongings into the wooden box, then put on his clothes, stood up and looked in the direction of the courtyard door through the wide open door of the inner room.

Knock knock!

The knock on the door sounded again, not loud, but a little hurried.

Wei Lai pondered: This is already the time to come, who will come here? Could it be that Sun Daren went and returned?

"Who?" Wei Lai asked in a loud and alert voice.

Knock knock!

The people outside the door didn't respond, but they still knocked on the courtyard door.

Wei Lai's brows furrowed, he held the dagger called the black python with his backhand, hid it under the cuffs, and took the candlestick in his hand, and then cautiously walked along the corridors on both sides of the courtyard to the front of the courtyard.

Knock knock!

The knock on the door sounded again, Wei Lai leaned against the courtyard door, and asked loudly, "Who?"

The people outside the house were still silent, still knocking on the courtyard door.

Wei Lai's hand holding the dagger was slightly forced, and he took a deep breath, and then gently pushed open the bolt used for the bolt door with his hand, opening the courtyard door a crack.

He leaned over to the gap, trying to see the people outside.

But before his head could be put up, a hand suddenly came in from outside the house, and grabbed the side of the courtyard door.

Wei Lai was frightened by the sudden action on his back, and his body subconsciously took a step back behind him, and the flame of the candlestick shaking in his right hand was extinguished, Wei Lai vaguely saw that the hand was extremely white, and it was covered with lines like withered vines, and the water stains were constantly dripping, wetting the high platform in front of the courtyard gate.

This hand is very similar to the water ghost in the Wupan River that year.

Such a thought popped up in Wei Lai's mind at that moment, and he keenly smelled that the smell of water stains dripping from that hand was definitely not rain, but with a fishy smell peculiar to river water.

Wei Lai's heart jumped, and the black python hidden under the cuffs showed its edge, like a poisonous snake sticking out its fangs, and a cold glow appeared.

"Little brother, may I ask if this is Wupan City?" But at the moment when the black python's fangs were about to cut open the arm of the "water ghost", an old voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.

Wei Lai held the dagger and was slightly stunned, then withdrew the cuffs, and with the other hand, he handed the candlestick in his hand to the door of the courtyard.

Wei Lai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put the arm holding the dagger behind him without a trace, and said in his mouth: "Old man, this is Wupan City." ”

The old man, whose back was so stiff that it was almost parallel to the ground, nodded his head when he heard this, and his soaked and scattered white hair shook with it, and Wei Lai vaguely saw that the old man's hair seemed to have some vegetation in it. Thinking about the old man's question, I thought that the old man should be a foreigner, and he came here in a hurry.

"Little brother, the old man came to this Wupan City to join his relatives, and he finally came to it, but he didn't want to be in this situation. Now the black light is blind, the rain is strong, the wind is urgent, the old man's legs and feet are not good, it is inconvenient to find someone, I wonder if I can spend the night in your place?" The old man's ears didn't seem to be very bright, he leaned into Wei Lai's ear, but he still said loudly in a loud voice, and the sound shook Wei Lai's eardrums.

Wei Lai frowned, both because of the old man's loud voice, which was extremely inconsistent with the shape of the rickety, and because of the slightly abrupt request made by the other party.

He was vigilant, but he still said politely: "I am very familiar with this Wupan City old man, you just need to tell me what the name of your relative is, and I can take you to find him." ”

The old man who was leaning on his body paused slightly.

"What did you say?"

Then he said in a louder voice: "I'm too old to hear what you say, I said I'm going to spend the night here, can you make it convenient." ”

The sound was so loud that Wei Lai could feel that the gate of his courtyard that had been in disrepair for a long time shook at that time, and he could make such a neutral sound, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like an old man with inconvenient legs and feet and poor ears.

But this was Wei Lai's speculation after all, and he still politely raised his voice and repeated Fang Cai's words: "I am very familiar with this Wupan City old man, ...... me."

"What did you say?"

"I'm old......"

And the old man was also very cooperative, and after Wei finished speaking, he raised his voice again and repeated his own set of words.

After repeating this two or three times, Wei Lai's eardrums hurt a little, and he looked at his old courtyard gate worriedly, for fear that this old object would collapse in the next moment in the louder and louder voice of the old man.

"Ahh......h

In order to avoid the tragic situation of being deaf at a young age, Wei Lai decisively said before the old man's words began: "If the old man doesn't dislike me for being humble here, then stay for one night." ”

"Alas, Holo. This time, Wei Lai's voice, which was a little smaller than Fang Cai, was really heard by the old man. When the old man was afraid that Wei Lai would regret it, he nodded at the first time, and then didn't care about Wei Lai, who was still stunned, but his "inconvenient legs and feet" body was more flexible than a monkey, and he rushed into the courtyard through the crack in the door.

Wei Lai, who came back to his senses, closed the courtyard door, turned his head and looked at the old man who had been shuttling through the corridor, pushing open the doors one by one and starting to look for the room he liked. The corners of Wei Lai's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly greeted him.

"The old man thinks that the leaky house I live in is the ultimate dilapidated house in the world, but he doesn't want a mountain to be higher than a mountain. But before Wei Lai, who stepped forward, could say anything, the old man's evaluation sounded first.

The corners of Wei Lai's mouth twitched more and more, but he still tried to make himself look calm enough, and he said with a smile: "If the old man thinks it is inappropriate, you can ...... your relative's name."

"Suitable! very suitable!" But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the other party, and the old man pointed to the futon spread in the room, and said with a smile: "You see that although this place is a little simple, the old man and I can live as a guest, and I will be able to live for a while." ”

After saying that, the old man didn't care about Wei Lai's reaction, and walked into the back room with a step.

"You!" Wei Lai blushed, spit out half of the words and brewed for a long time before he said: "It's better to wipe your body." ”

For the first time in his life, Wei Lai regretted his identity as a fool.

But fortunately, the old man still listened to Wei Lai's last "advice", and a soaked shirt and trousers were thrown out before the door closed.

"Old man knows, you should go to bed early. ”

Listening to the leisurely tone, the old man had obviously forgotten his identity as a "sleeper".

Wei Lai twisted up the trousers with his fingers with some disgust, sighed, and secretly told himself in his heart to endure it all night, and to do such self-comfort, he was about to turn around and go to the firewood room, but the old man's voice came from the house again.

"By the way, I forgot to introduce. ”

"The old man's surname is Liu, Wendao Liu. ”

"The name of the knot, the knot of the grass knot. ”
