Chapter 53: Old Man Whitebeard

After discussing with Xue Chen, I decided to go our separate ways, he was in charge of getting the "Soul Returning Grass", and I decided to talk to Xiaojie's mother.

"What are you talking about? That's impossible! Xiaojie's mother looked at me in disbelief.

"I know it's unbelievable, but that's how I met Xiaojie!" I desperately want her understanding, because only in this way can I help Xiaojie according to what the old lady said.

"Even if what you say is true, but my Xiaojie is still alive, you can't see him!" Xiaojie's mother was very resistant to communicating with me again, and stood up and walked to the side to ignore me.

"I know you're having a hard time understanding! I'll do what I just said, and if you're willing to believe me, it's my phone! I put down the note in my hand and reluctantly left Xiaojie's ward.

I went to a restaurant near the hospital and bought two boxed lunches to give to Xiao Ting, and when I went in, An's mother had already woken up.

"Xiao Ting, I bought a boxed lunch, you and Auntie can eat some!"

Xiao Ting took the lunch box from my hand and walked to An's mother's side. Mother An did not refuse, took the boxed lunch, and said hesitantly: "Miss Lin......"

"Auntie, it's good if you call Lin Shan!" I hurriedly walked over.

An's mother looked at me and said with a frightened expression: "I heard Xiao Ting say, you ...... Can you help my family, Achi? ”

"Auntie, don't worry too much, we will definitely find a way to solve this matter! You eat something first and take care of your body! I comforted.

An's mother glanced at An Zhi, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed next to her, and bowed her head worriedly to eat. Xiao Ting didn't make a sound, just pulled the white rice into her mouth, but never swallowed it. I took a bottle of water and handed it over and patted her on the shoulder. Xiao Ting took the water and said to me, "I'm fine!" ”

A row of willows was planted in front of the inpatient department, and there were several pavilions next to it, where many elderly people in hospital gowns exercised and chatted in the shade. I sat alone under a willow tree, took out my codex and flipped it up, but I couldn't calm down and look at it.

I don't know if Xiaojie's mother will give me a chance to make amends, and I am worried that the escaped ghost will come back for revenge at any time.

I looked at my left hand wrapped in gauze, and remembered the wound that had opened my flesh, and I was scared and anxious - I had always been too passive, and I always felt that I had not yet encountered difficulties, and I would wait until I encountered them. But it turns out that crises can happen at any time, and I don't have time to learn slowly, so I can't always bring a knife with me, so I can draw myself every time I encounter something!

I sighed deeply, after all, I was too weak!

"If the heart is connected, it will be reached" - I thought of the old monk's words, and meditated on it, how can we "reach it"? Alas......

I memorize the annotated text sentence by sentence, and as for those patterns, gestures, and formations, it is always good to write them down and have an impression regardless of whether they understand it or not.

"Three Souls Method...... The Seven Spirits Method...... The rhinoceros is ......"

Oh, I haven't finished memorizing three pages, and I'm really a few big heads-I forced myself to turn the page, and suddenly I wondered why it took so many years for the victim's ghost to take revenge?

"Little girl, what are you looking at? So hard! "An old man with a gray beard came up to me and accosted me.

I quickly got up, hid the codex behind me, and replied, "Nothing! ”

The old man looked at me meaningfully, and suddenly said, "It seems that you have something on your mind, can you talk to me, an old man?" ”

I shook my head and politely refused, "My friend is still waiting for me, I'll go first!" ”

The old man smiled kindly, and said in a funny tone: "Oh, I dreamed of an old bald donkey the day before yesterday, and he told me that today I will meet a little girl who can tell a story under the tree...... This dream, how can it not be allowed? ”

When I heard the words "old bald donkey", I unconsciously stopped leaving, I turned to look at him in surprise, and thought: I don't know how to tell stories!

When the old man saw that I was staying and not leaving, he smiled and said, "What? Will you tell me a story? ”

I still shook my head and asked in wonder, "What did you just say about ...... 'old bald donkey'?" ”

"Hahahaha" The old man laughed loudly and replied, "The old bald donkey is the old bald donkey, I will call him the old bald donkey, but other people don't call him that!" ”

"What do you call someone else?" I asked.

The old man restrained his smile, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Is this someone else...... This 'understanding'? 'Up'? What's going on? ”

I asked weakly, "Is it a 'good' master?" ”

"Oh!" The old man made a look of sudden realization and said, "Yes, yes, yes, that's the name of the old bald donkey!" Little girl, how do you know? He looked at me in amazement.

I suddenly felt that this old man was a little ...... "two", very "two"!

"Leave him alone!" The old man came over and grabbed my hand and pulled me to the side of the pavilion, "Come on, tell me a story!" ”

"I don't tell stories!" I looked at him in confusion.

"That's it!" The old man looked very embarrassed, and reluctantly said, "Then tell me what happened to you recently!" ”

"Huh?"

I thought about whether the old man with the white beard would be a "master", and reluctantly agreed to his proposalβ€”I said, and he listened casually, taking a sip of tea from time to time, or standing up and going around twice; Sometimes I would go out of the pavilion to say hello to my patients, and then come back and let me continue. So, I spent an afternoon telling a story, a "ghost story" that really happened to me.

After listening to this, the old man craned his neck and looked at the top of the pavilion for a few seconds, and then asked with a puzzled face: "Is the box you are talking about a jewelry box with auspicious cloud carvings and gold wire trim?" ”

I looked at him in amazement: "Have you seen it?" ”

The old man shook his head, but said, "So it's still there!" ”

"Who is it?"

The old man didn't answer this question, just looked at me and was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Then what are you going to do next?" ”

"What's next?" I was confused and said, "I don't know, let's save people first!" Other ...... I wish I could find him! ”

"Him?" The old man looked at me suspiciously.

"It's the Xia family!"

"You mean the charlatan?"

I was suddenly startled and asked him, "Mofei, you are him!" ”

"Hey!" The old man made a look of displeasure, "Don't look at my gray beard, I'm only 83, is it possible, I went around exorcizing demons when I was a teenager?" ”

I smiled awkwardly and said, "Then how do you know about that box?" ”

"Well...... old man paused, "Ming'er, if you come here to tell me a story, I'll tell you!" ”

"But I can't tell a story!"

"Hey, didn't you just say it very well! I love to hear it! The old man said, nodding solemnly.

I hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll come to ...... when I have time," and with that, I got up and left the pavilion, intending to go back to Anzhi's hospital room to have a look.
