Chapter 33: Old Scarhead

"Clerical? Hahaha, it's all so elegant now? Old Scarhead coughed, "But unfortunately it's not me, it's my father, I haven't done anything." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"You weren't involved more than a decade ago? What about the change of masters? ”

"Why do you ask this?" There was a brief hint of confusion on the old Scarhead's face, half of what Lu Xiaoruo discussed with him just now was this, no, the old Scarhead took a step back and looked at Gu Yiling and Lu Xiaoruo shrewdly, "You said you were an editor, so what about this one, what the hell are you doing?!" ”

Lu Xiaoruo was not in a hurry, and began to explain patiently, "Uncle, you don't have to worry, the editor is the editor, the journal is still the publication, we just have some doubts about the cause of death of the two people who died in the Shi family this time, and we want to find out, we have no malicious intent." ”

The old scarhead stayed with Lu Xiaoruo for a while before, and they all said that looking at chess knows character, this girl should not be the kind of person who is used to hiding and tucking, he sighed lightly, "This young man, I don't know about the change of the head of the Shi family, that is my father, he died a few years ago, and just a few days ago, Shi Jiaming, the owner of the Shi family, went to our place to save the records, you look at the ground, throw it, take it, and don't leave me with anything." ”

After saying that, the old scar pointed to a pile of debris on the ground, Gu Yiling and Lu Xiaoruo understood, and they didn't ask anything anymore, and said goodbye in unison, ready to go to the next place.

"Ah, girl." Old Scarhead called out to her, "Are you the editor of this magazine busy every day?" ”

Lu Xiaoruo looked back and was stunned for a moment, the old scar head was very restrained, and she was still holding the turned out chess pieces and chessboard in her hand, she smiled, "I'll come to you tomorrow, there is something to do today." ”

"Hey!" The old scarhead happily closed his mouth, Gu Yiling slowed down a little, and was playing the umbrella, the old scarhead approached, and said with a smile, "The baby and the girl are a couple?" ”

Gu Yiling blinked and immediately said, "Yes, just wait for her to nod." ”

"Haha, this is a good girl, you have to cherish her, it's not bad to play chess." The old scar head is quite satisfied with Lu Xiaoruo, the most important thing is that he is empathetic and can play chess.

"But......" Gu Yiling paused, "how are your chess skills?" She's a Go 5th dan, so you should have a hard time winning. When Gu Yiling said this, his eyes were also bright, his Ruo'er was powerful, and he wanted everyone to know. The old scar head was obviously surprised, and didn't move for a long time, and finally asked in a low voice, "How old is she?" ”

"Twenty-four, but the fifth dan of Go was already four years ago for her." The old scar head didn't know what to say now, watching them leave together, and suddenly became more in awe of heaven and earth.

Snake girl, did you bring them to me? This day is more expeditious than many days and nights before......

…………

"What did you learn?" On the way, Gu Yiling told Lu Xiaoruo about his conversation with the old housekeeper one by one, Lu Xiaoruo and he walked in the rain with an umbrella, very close to each other, but they were always unable to get close because of the two umbrellas.

"I learned from the old man about a ghost god they have feared for generationsβ€”"

"Ghost Snake Lady." Gu Yiling and Lu Xiaoruo said together, Lu Xiaoruo was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Young master, do you know everything?" ”

"I don't know much, you say yours."

"That's right, the old man told me that there is a ghost snake Niangniang from the heavenly realm in this mountain, who fought with Yi thousands of years ago and was killed by Yi with an arrow, and after death, the dry bones turned into a group of peaks, which is Yunbai Mountain. The people of Yunbai Mountain believe in her very much, and feel that her spirit is still protecting them, and the village names worship every year, and the biggest festival is the birthday of the ghost snake Niangniang. The historian is the boss here, I guess, they may be the main force to worship the ghost snake Niangniang, just like the two curtains in the Shijia hall, a thousand mountains and white clouds symbolize Yunbai Mountain, a giant python looks up to imply the ghost snake Niangniang, and the word 'Ba' painted with plum blossoms, in ancient times, 'Ba' is interpreted as 'snake', on this day of the historian's house, I have seen more than one snake painting integrated into the Shijia building, so we have reason to believe that everything here may be related to the ghost snake Niangniang. ”

Lu Xiaoruo explained to Gu Yiling, Gu Yiling pondered for a moment and said, "Ba Snake, it should be Ba Snake." ”

"What?" Lu Xiaoruo frowned, "When you say this, I also remember that in ancient mythology, there was a giant python that was shot by Yi, according to the description of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", this object is 180 meters long, with a blue head and a black body, it can devour elephants and attack the people. ”

Walking and walking, the two came to the ancient well at the entrance of the village again, Lu Xiaoruo had palpitations, and subconsciously retreated a little.

"It is possible for the snake, but it is also impossible, the snake has indeed been killed by Yi, so it is impossible to stay." Gu Yiling stared at the ancient well, "The old housekeeper said, this is the road to the Ghost Snake Niangniang's mansion, what do you think?" ”

"I can't judge whether the mansion is a mansion or not, but I know there's something wrong with it." Lu Xiaoruo struggled and walked to the ancient well, tremblingly pointing to the wellhead that had been covered, "There is suction in this, which is extremely dangerous." ”

"What are you shaking?" Gu Yiling couldn't help laughing, "How do you know that there is danger here?" ”

"How could I not know!" Lu Xiaoruo lifted the lid, put his hand on it, and moved it up and down, "Look at you, I'm going to be sucked in!" ”

"Hahaha!" Lu Xiaoruo's movements were really funny, Gu Yiling inexplicably thought she was cute, and stepped forward to pull her over, "I know, the talisman on this says it all, but the talisman doesn't seem to have any effect here, let's get a new one next time, okay?" You come, I'll help you. The tone was a little too spoiled, but Lu Xiaoruo felt that he was coaxing the child again, so he puffed out his mouth angrily, covered the manhole cover heavily, put down the umbrella and jumped under his umbrella.

"Oh yo, this little face, I like to talk like this, what do you want~" Gu Yiling held her bulging little face with her palm, laughing and pinching, Lu Xiaoruo's heart was defeated again, and followed Gu Yiling to laugh, she wanted not to have two umbrellas next time, it was very troublesome......

"Whew!"

Suddenly, a voice passed by her ears, Gu Yiling and Lu Xiaoruo were alert at the same time, at this moment, a figure appeared in the heavy rain, she was disheveled, running barefoot, splashing rain mixed with mud flying between heaven and earth, her eyes were not bright, as if she was a manipulated puppet, sensing the master's orders, and rushed straight towards Gu Yiling and Lu Xiaoruo.

Lu Xiaoruo instantly became serious, retreated half a step back, Gu Yiling grabbed the black umbrella in his hand, and waited for it without hurry or impatience.

"Sister!" Shi Aming's cry was mixed in the rain and broke into the ears of Gu Yiling and Lu Xiaoruo, both of them were startled at the same time, busy taking a closer look, but they didn't expect this to be even more surprised, and shouted in unison:

"Shi Shuxiang!"
