Chapter 10 Hair Bundle
After Zhao Ting got into the carriage back to his home, there was snow outside again.
Looking at the goose-featherlike snow outside the car window, Zhao Ting's mind had long been gone.
I don't know if it's because he's deliberately looking for it, or if his luck is a little "good".
In just over a month since he came to this world, Zhao Ting has already heard of four or five "supernatural" incidents, not including the "water ghost" incidents he has personally experienced.
He was now curious, how could the people of this world still be able to deal with it calmly in such a dangerous world?
Moreover, there are obviously so many things that cannot be explained by common sense in front of us, but in this world, there are still many "atheists" like Zhao Si!
The reasons behind this are worth digging into.
"Si'er, the master asks you, what do you think about the matter of "Zheng Mansion was destroyed"?" Zhao Ting asked casually.
Zhao Si, who was driving the car in front, turned his head when he heard the words and said, "Master, according to the villain, this should be because of the robbery of resources and land." ”
"The mud-legged people in front of the Zheng Mansion are right, the Zheng family has indeed done a lot of immoral things that have ruined people's foundations in the past few years, and their hands have even reached neighboring counties. ”
"It's too greedy! People, I'm afraid of the word 'greed'! It's good now, someone has taken advantage of the snowy night to destroy the door, why do you say this?"
"I hope that the Zheng family will stop being so greedy in the next life!"
Knowing that he didn't believe in "ghosts and gods", Zhao Ting didn't distinguish with him, but smiled and said, "You kid has seen it thoroughly, haha." ”
After a while, Zhao Ting asked again, "Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid," Zhao Si turned his back to Zhao Ting, shaking his head for a while, "The villain still wants to protect you, how dare you be afraid?"
......
......
The master and servant chatted all the way, talked and laughed and returned to the Zhao Mansion.
When the doorman in the house saw Zhao Ting get out of the carriage, he ran over and supported him with great discernment, which also caused Zhao Si to be dissatisfied for a while, and said in his heart: "This kid actually dares to grab a job from me?"
After entering the mansion gate, Zhao Ting crossed the outer mansion and walked all the way towards the inner courtyard.
After roughly telling his mother Wang Yan about the destruction of the Zheng Mansion and comforting her a few words, Zhao Ting said goodbye and walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the corridor of the inner courtyard, he met the second son, Zhao Tai.
This Zhao Tai had been missing for more than a month, and he had just returned to the house yesterday afternoon, and Zhao Ziqi asked him where he had gone, and he refused to say it, so he naturally received a scolding.
It's also a little strange to say, in the more than one month that he was away, there were no waves in Linshan City, and the years were quiet, and as soon as he came back, Zheng's mansion was destroyed.
This made it difficult for Zhao Ting not to associate these two things together.
However, although his second brother is as strong as a monster, he is still a human after all!
Thinking like this, Zhao Ting put aside the idea that had just popped up in his mind.
"Just fell asleep?" Zhao Ting asked casually.
Zhao Tai nodded and said with a smile: "I was scolded by my father for a full hour last night, and I was dizzy when I was scolded, so I slept late." ”
"Well, then you can get inside. Zhao Ting said perfunctorily and was about to leave.
Just as the two passed by, Zhao Tai suddenly sniffed, as if he had smelled something strange from Zhao Ting.
"Big brother, you wait," Zhao Tai frowned tightly and stopped Zhao Ting.
Zhao Ting turned his head and looked at him suspiciously with an inquiring gaze.
"How can you have the smell of 'wet grass' on you?" Zhao Tai's face was serious, and a thoughtless sentence came out.
"'Wet Luo Grass'?" Zhao Ting was stunned for a moment, and then sniffed like Zhao Tai had just done, and asked, "What 'Wet Luo Grass'?"
Zhao Tai shook his head and changed the subject: "Brother, have you been to the waterside recently? and you also picked up a dark green aquatic plant that feels like a woman's hair?"
As soon as he said this, Zhao Ting suddenly realized, took out a wilted, withered yellow aquatic grass from his cuff, and said, "Oh, is this the 'wet Luo grass' you are talking about?"
At the moment when he saw this piece of aquatic grass that was about to die, the expression on Zhao Tai's face instantly became extremely exciting, and he actually had a feeling that he didn't know what to say.
After a while, he said with a strange expression: "Brother, what are you doing with a 'wet Luo grass'?"
"Hey, what's the color of this 'wet grass'...... Is it ......?"
Seeing that his expression was strange, as if he had seen a ghost, Zhao Ting shrugged his shoulders and explained: "Brother just sees that this aquatic plant is very tough and not easy to break, so I usually use it to tie my hair occasionally." ”
“......”
This answer made Zhao Tai stunned again!
"Brother, do you know what this 'wet grass' is?" Zhao Tai asked with a wry smile, "This is the companion creature of the [Water Charm], oh, it is what those fishermen commonly call "water ghosts"!"
"You tie your hair with the companions of the water ghosts, are you really not afraid of death!"
"Fortunately, this [Water Charm] has been seriously injured by someone, and now it should be recovering, so I don't have time to come to you. Otherwise, the grass on your grave will be a foot tall by this time!"
Zhao Ting didn't like to hear this, and he muttered in a low voice, "I still wish it came to me......"
"Brother, what did you just say?" Zhao Tai didn't hear clearly and asked.
Zhao Ting waved his hand and said, "I didn't say anything, oh, by the way, Xiao Tai, brother asked you, how did you know this......?
"This ...... When I used to go out on darts, I heard a few shipwrights talk about it," Zhao Tai hurriedly explained, and then quickly changed the topic, looking taboo. "Brother, you better hurry up and throw away this 'wet grass', and return it to where you picked it up. ”
"Otherwise, [Water Charm] will come to you sooner or later!"
"Oh," Zhao Ting nodded, and said perfunctorily, "Brother knows, I'll throw it in a while." ”
"Remember, don't take it too seriously. ”
Watching Zhao Ting's figure slowly disappear away and gradually disappear behind the wall, Zhao Tai couldn't help but sigh and said to himself: "Hey, I originally wanted to leave Linshan County in the next few days, but now it seems that I am afraid that I will not be able to leave." ”
"If this [water charm] is not solved for a day, it will be like a maggot attached to the bone, pestering the eldest brother for a day, how can I rest assured?"
"Hmm...... Gotta find a way to lure it out and destroy it. ”
......
......
Time flies, and another week has passed in the blink of an eye.
Since the last time he communicated with Zhao Tai, Zhao Ting was sure that his younger brother knew a lot about "ghosts and gods", at least, he knew more than himself.
But whenever he went to test and wanted to extract some useful information from Zhao Tai's mouth, Zhao Tai always talked about him left and right, as if he didn't want to say more, which also made Zhao Ting very helpless.
After all, people don't want to say it, so he can't force them to say it, right?
Speaking of Zhao Tai's side, he was even more speechless.
Over the past week, he has tried all sorts of methods.
No matter what means he used to seduce, the [Water Charm] who was eyeing Zhao Ting just didn't show up, and he couldn't even find a clue.
"Oh my God! Is this year's [Unknown] so daring?" Zhao Tai stood by the Tingxin Lake, helpless, looking up to the sky and sighing.
