Chapter 24: Antecedents and Consequences (I)
"Epsom?" Sun Sandao looked at Old Ghost Lei angrily, and threw the red and bright small fruit in his hand on his face, penetrated them one by one, and fell to the ground, "Old ghost, what do you want, do you want to eat the Soul Locking Spell three more times?" β
People who eat this bright red fruit will have diarrhea, so the locals call it Epsom fruit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Lei Lao Ghost, who has been wandering in the south of the Yangtze River for nearly 20 years, naturally knows this fruit. He expected that Sun Sandao was so hungry that he wouldn't be suspicious in the face of this kind of fruit, so that he could retaliate against him, even if he was recited the Soul Locking Spell in the end, it would be worth it. Unexpectedly, now a teenager jumped out and ruined his plan.
"Dao Master, the little one hasn't been out of Jianye for forty years, and he mistakenly thinks that the Epsom fruit is a harmless wild fruit." Old Ghost Lei looked innocent, "Please calm your anger, don't punish me anymore." β
Sun Sandao is so hungry that he doesn't want to move now, where is he still thinking about him, and he doesn't bother to recite the soul locking spell. That's a waste of saliva. Now there is still a straw to grasp, that is, the swarthy boy, there are people who have people, and there are people who have food.
"Little brother, do you know what to eat nearby? I was also dizzy, so I almost ate the Epsom fruit by mistake. Sun Sandao's stomach gurgled and made him embarrassed, "Shicai is really grateful for the reminder, otherwise it's really ......."
"You're welcome. Just call me Ahei, that's what everyone in the village calls me. Ah Hei shrugged his shoulders and carried the firewood behind him more tightly, "My house is in front, you can go to my house to eat something and fill your stomach." "Ah Hei can only see Sun Sandao, and he can't see the old ghost Lei behind him, but he can hear their conversation." What's your name, my mother said, you can't bring strangers home. Tell me my name and we'll be friends. β
"My name is Sun Sandao, just call me Sandao."
"My name is Lei ......"
"Youkai!" Lei Lao Ghost's blue-green translucent head stretched out from behind Sun Sandao's shoulder, and Ah Hei, who had seen the hell for a long time, screamed in surprise, threw all the two stacks of firewood behind him at Sun Sandao, and then turned around and ran with all his strength, shouting as he ran. "Youkai again, youkai again!"
"It's you again!" Sun Sandao is funny and angry. The funny thing was the boy's reaction, which reminded him of the first time he knew that the turtle spirit was really a goblin, not an actor, and this was the kind of cowardice; Angry, someone was next to him, and he actually forgot to take the old ghost Lei back into the soul bag. "In the future, when there are ordinary people, can you go back to the soul bag by yourself?!"
"Yes, yes." Lei Lao Ghost laughed "hey, hey, hey": He didn't chant a spell to torture me. "The little one will go back now, go back now." After speaking, Lei Lao Ghost turned into a wisp of green smoke and burrowed into the soul bag on Sun Sandao's waist.
His stomach rumbled again, and Sun Sandao stroked his already hungry belly, thinking: Ah Hei said that his village is in front, no matter how much, filling his stomach is the most important thing.
walked all the way in the direction that Ah Hei ran, and when Sun Sandao saw the smoke of other people's cooking, it was already evening. The sun was setting in the west, and the sun was shining on his face, and he didn't feel dazzling. All he wanted was to hurry into the village, find a family, exchange the silver for some food, fill his stomach, and preferably some dry food, which he could eat on the way. He wondered, all the way in the wilderness, there were no birds and beasts, and he couldn't eat at all when he got out of here.
When he came to the entrance of the village, Sun Sandao could hear two or three rooster crows and four or five dog barks, but he couldn't see even a single figure. He walked into the courtyard of a house where the smoke was rising, pushed open the door, and the fire was burning in the stove, and the aroma of fried meat came from the pot on the stove, which made him swallow his saliva. But now that it was burnt, Sun Sandao, who smelled the mush, hurriedly lifted the pot to open the flames.
"It's a waste, it's a waste. You can't waste it. Braving the hot air, he reached out and grabbed the unmushed meat into his mouth and began to eat it. When I looked at it, I found that there were two side dishes fried on the table next to me, and the aroma of rice was also bubbling in the casserole next to it. This is simply heaven for Sun Sandao.
Sun Sandao endured his saliva, walked out of the door, and shouted out, "Is there anyone?" Is anyone there? I was so hungry that I took the liberty of eating the owner's food. This small amount of silver is not enough to express my apologies. Seeing that no one answered, Sun Sandao put the ten taels of silver in his hand on the table, filled the rice, and devoured the rice.
"You have suffered a thousand cuts, and you have changed your skin and come again."
"Give back my children's lives, my poor Ah Long and Ah Feng, woo woo woo ......"
"Aunt Xiuqin, don't cry. Guys, let's go up together and kill this skin monster! β
β¦β¦
Sun Sandao, who was eating, was startled, and suddenly a group of people blocked the doorβeither jumping from the roof, or rushing out from behind the trees next to the door, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, hoes, sickles, shovels...... and other agricultural implements. Sun Sandao was shocked: I just ate a meal secretly, I don't need to fight against me in such a big battle, and it's not for nothing. So he hurriedly picked up the silver on the table, showed it in front of everyone, and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Don't get excited, I'm not a thief. This is the meal money, look, the meal money. After speaking, he put the silver back on the table, and raised his hands flat and shoulder-level, indicating that he had no malicious intent.
Everyone outside the door looked at each other, thinking in their hearts: This person is not like a monster, is it really a misunderstanding.
"It's him!" Just as everyone was hesitating, a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd. It was Ah Hei, who pushed aside the crowd and walked to the door, hid behind a strong man, pointed at Sun Sandao and said, "What I saw with my own eyes is him, with a monster." It's the same as the monster who came to capture Ah Long and Ah Feng before. β
"There's no misunderstanding now! Folks, let's go up together and kill this human-skin monster! β
"Kill......"
Everyone's eyes flashed with flames, and only Sun Sandao's blood could extinguish them.
"Slow, slow. It's none of my business! Sun Sandao thought: When Ah Hei first saw me before, he didn't react so violently at all, it was the old ghost Lei! It must have been something hurtful that he had done here before that would arouse the anger of the public. "I'm a human, not a youkai. He must be the one you are looking for! "Sun Sandao's consciousness moved, and he summoned the old ghost Lei out of the soul bag and blocked it in front of him." Isn't he? β
"Dao Master, does it take a small service to summon a small one?" Lei Lao Ghost wanted to eat the Epsom fruit with three knives before, afraid that he would torture himself with a soul locking spell, so he bowed to him in a low voice, like a little runner running errands.
"Get on your knees!" Sun Sandao is not angry and arrogant.
Lei Lao Ghost looked confused: It seems that he is going to settle old accounts. sighed and could only kneel.
"Say! Have you ever done evil here, tell me quickly! β
"Huh? What the? The word 'wronged' was written on Lei Lao's face, "I haven't been out of Jianye for forty years, how can I do evil?" He turned to the crowd and asked, "You say, how did I do evil, how did I harm you?!" β
