The sound of the bell is very eye-catching, and the violent ringing also makes the diners sitting next to it look sideways.

I tapped the bell lightly and asked in a low voice:

"What's wrong, Xu Rui?"

I don't want to release Xu Rui at this time, for fear of being seen unexpectedly and causing unnecessary trouble.

Then he continued:

"Don't worry, wait until I go out. ”

I picked up the rest of the Coke and burger, and was about to stand up when the bell began to ring violently again.

This time, it just happened to be seen by the two mothers and daughters next to them.

The little girl smiled and pointed to the bell around my waist and said:

"Mom, that toy is so fun, I want to play with it too. ”

The child is young and ignorant, but the mother can see clearly, she doesn't think that the bell ringing out of thin air on my waist is a toy, her face is white with fright, she doesn't dare to look at me, and quickly picks up the child and runs out.

I grabbed the bell helplessly, and I didn't want the burger, but only took a glass of Coke, and said as I walked:

"What's wrong with you, what is it that makes you so anxious?"

After all, I was still vigilant and quickly found a secluded place and called Xu Rui out.

As soon as Xu Rui came out, he curled up on the ground, trembling with fright.

I frowned and asked:

"Feel that old way again?"

Xu Rui nodded again and again, trembling his lips and said:

"He's just been very close to me, very close......"

When he said this, Xu Rui raised his head again, looked behind me in horror, grabbed my arm and said:

"Here it is again! Here it is again! Li Xiao, take me away!"

I frowned and pulled the knife out, glancing back.

The place where we stood was under a big tree in the park, and more than ten meters behind us was the entrance of the park, and across the street from the entrance, it happened to be directly opposite the main entrance of Wanda Plaza.

While staring in the direction behind me, I took out the bell and gently shook my wrist for Xu Rui to hide in first.

As a result, as soon as I turned around, I saw a strange person coming out of the main entrance of the square.

The man was dressed in a plaided robe that was incompatible with modern society, a gray-white and black patchwork, black cloth shoes under his feet, a square burlap bag with gossip printed on it, and his messy hair was long and tied with a straw rope at random.

The bell on my waist was also sounded by Xu Rui's "Dangdang", as if urging me to leave quickly.

Although I didn't see the appearance clearly, it is not difficult to guess that this person must be the Maoshan ghost that Xu Rui was afraid of!

Because it was still some distance away, I looked at the old way as I walked.

When I looked at him, the old man seemed to suddenly feel something, and he turned his head to stare at me.

The gaze was fierce and precise, and even across the street, it still locked me in.

I didn't dare to delay, so I buried my head and began to walk quickly.

After walking all the way through the park, I looked back again and found that the old road had indeed followed, and I was crossing the road.

I held down the bell that was still ringing, took a big stride and started running forward.

If this old Taoist comes to Xu Rui, I naturally can't hide from it, and it will definitely be a vicious battle at that time.

I just came out of the Nine Cellars, and I really don't want to draw any more knives.

As luck would have it, as I rushed out the back door along the park, there was a taxi parked on the side of the road.

Without hesitation, I opened the door and sat down, and told the driver the address of Xu Youcai's small village.

As the taxi started, I breathed a long sigh of relief.

Before you know it, most of the day has passed, and it's almost sunset.

Looking at the smoke rising from the cooking smoke in the tiled house in the countryside outside the car window, I instantly remembered my parents and Xu Zixuan, who was still alone in my house.

As soon as I picked up my mobile phone and clicked on Xu Zixuan's WeChat, and when I was about to send her a message, she also happened to send me a message:

"Where?

I hugged my mobile phone and replied:

"I went to Xu Daochang's house for something, and I can't go back for the time being, did you go out and bring the key?"

I hung the key on the handle behind the door before leaving, believing that Xu Zixuan was not so stupid, she replied simply:

"Brought it. ”

I went on to ask:

"I don't have anything at home, why don't you go out and eat something, do you still have any money?"

After asking this, Xu Zixuan didn't reply to me for a long time.

I estimate that she must have no money, her home is long gone, and she has been imprisoned by the Wang family for so long, how can she have money on her.

It's just that her stubborn personality causes her to refuse to show weakness and say it.

So I took the initiative to send her a red envelope of 100 yuan and said:

"You can buy me some snacks, instant noodles and stuff to keep at home, sometimes I get hungry at night. ”

Xu Zixuan never received the red envelope, and only asked after a while:

"Are you coming back today?"

After thinking about it, I replied:

"I guess it's late to come back. ”

This time, I waited until the taxi drove to the intersection of the small village and stopped, and she replied to me with a few words:

"Stay safe. ”

Xu Zixuan's personality is like this, I have long been used to it.

This girl who looks stubborn and strong is actually more pitiful than anyone else, a happy and lively rich family, with a population of more than 100, all turned into cold corpses overnight, and it is an unbearable blow to anyone.

But she survived.

In the days when the guard heart wrapped her whole body, she was alone and willing to believe me, which was the greatest affirmation for me.

I turned off my phone and sighed, then strolled towards Xu Youcai's ancestral hall.

There was no one or car behind him, proving that the old road of Namaoshan had been thrown off.

Because I often go in and out of Xu Youcai's ancestral hall, the pilgrims here already know me, and they all know that I am his only apprentice.

When I stepped into the ancestral hall, I saw that Xu Youcai had already gotten out of bed, and he was holding a tribute incense to worship the spiritual seat and the statue.

I waited until he had inserted the incense into the incense burner before he smiled and said:

"Master, how does your body feel? ”

Xu Youcai turned around in surprise, looked at me with a smile, raised his hands, and said:

"After a moment of recovery, there is no major problem. ”

Seeing that Xu Youcai had recovered, I was very happy, after all, he was injured when I was invited to go to the mourning hall of my grandfather's house.

After chatting for a while, the villagers and pilgrims had all gone home to cook.

Xu Youcai fried a green pepper and shallots tofu, fried potato chips with sour chili, and a plate of oily peanuts and home-brewed rice wine, and pulled me to drink two glasses with him.

During the chat, I also told Xu Youcai about Xu Rui's encounter with Maoshan Lao Dao today.

Xu Youcai drank on his face, his eyes and neck were red, he added a peanut and threw it into his mouth, and frowned while chewing and said:

"It stands to reason that he found out about you, so he shouldn't be ...... with you."

Xu Youcai took another sip of rice wine as he spoke, squinted his eyes and continued:

"I think he'll find him tonight!"

(Because the website delivery can not appear redundant content, so I didn't say goodnight to everyone, grandparents and grandpas who wait for more every day, if they rest early after twelve o'clock, there is a high probability that they will not be updated.) In addition, the supporting roles that will appear in the future in the book will be selected from the dragon suite, but it must be the right name, I believe that several students have seen themselves in the book, Caichen has no other way to repay you who have supported me except writing a book, only by writing you into the book, I feel that we are a family, grateful to have you!)
