(260), four deaths and four

Mo Ye glanced at the medicine jar on the ground and didn't pick it up immediately. She stood silently, as if thinking about something, and only after a moment did she hold out her hand.

Her fingers hooked the tether at the mouth of the altar, and after a moment, she suddenly raised her hand and threw the jar into the air.

The Night Walker handed the things to the victim, and was about to turn to leave, when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but look shocked.

Twisting his body like a carp leaping at the gate, he fell from the roof. With a ruthless force of hitting the ground, he used his body as a cushion and narrowly caught the medicine jar that was thrown up by Mo Ye half a foot high and then fell vertically.

The pain caused by the body hitting the stone steps only made the night pedestrian frown, he took the big medicine jar, and then stared at Mo Ye with vigilant eyes, and only said in a voice that seemed to have become hoarse after staying in the night for too long, "You did it on purpose. ”

"I'm sorry." Mo Ye quickly apologized, she had been prepared for this, so there was no hesitation or unnaturalness in her tone. After a slight pause, she said again: "I want to keep you, I want to say a few words to you." ”

There was a slight suspicion in the night walker's eyes.

"That's all I have to ask." Mo Ye's gaze became serious, "After asking, let you punish you." ”

"Say it." The Night Walker replied quickly, but quickly added a sentence in a cold tone: "I may not answer all your questions, and I advise you not to act childishly." ”

Mo Ye nodded, "I'll listen to your persuasion." ”

Hearing this, the night walker no longer hesitated, and handed over the large medicine altar to Mo Ye again. However, if there is a martial artist watching at this time, it must not be difficult to find that the limbs of the night walkers are tense. Although his action decision was decisive, his psychological defense line did not relax towards Mo Ye, and he maintained his body's mobility in a better state to prevent another accident.

Mo Ye dragged the big medicine jar into the kitchen and filtered the medicine as usual. The Night Walker stood at the kitchen door and watched her every move, not following closely. For him, putting his feet on the ground instead of hanging on the beams of the house was already a big violation of his previous habits.

Soon, Mo Ye picked up a bowl of filtered decoction, she held the bowl in her hand, then turned her face to look at the night pedestrian, and slowly spoke: "Masked uncle, I want to know, you often act like this. Won't you feel weird, won't you get tired of it? ”

The Night Walkers were silent for a moment, and then said another sentence without answering: "You need to know the answer." You have to drink half a bowl of medicine first. ”

Mo Ye's expression moved slightly: "I'm surprised that you didn't refuse to answer." ”

"Nothing bad to say." The Night Walker's eyes were calm, "What I care about is the result of the mission." ”

"I don't have the habit of keeping half a bowl for medicine." Mo Ye glanced at the medicine bowl in his hand, turned his eyes to the night passerby, and said, "But if I drink it dry." You probably won't be staying any longer. ”

"You're taking something that doesn't make sense with your life, and that's unwise." The Night Walker's voice was still sombre, but because of what he said next, the cold and ruthless tone seemed to exaggerate a hint of warmth: "However, I will not lose anything by answering your question." It should be a favor for you. ”

Mo Ye smiled slightly, and then without the slightest hesitation, he drank the decoction in the dry bowl a few times as usual, and pursed his lips. Tilt the bottom of the bowl to the night walkers.

Seeing this scene, the night walker moved his calm gaze, "You're not worried that I'll leave immediately?" ”

Mo Ye shook his head, closed his mouth tightly and was silent for a moment before he quickly said, "I can't speak, I will spit it out." ”

Listened to what she said. The Night Walkers could vaguely guess why she had asked before drinking.

The calm and somewhat cold eyes eased imperceptibly, and the night walker said lightly, "I can answer you once." Perhaps you may not be satisfied with this answer, and I will not answer your follow-up questions. ”

Mo Ye's eyes lit up, and he didn't speak, only nodded a few times.

"If you ask me if I think I'm acting strangely, I can honestly say that people like me, in the eyes of ordinary people, are inherently different. It's just that if you reject your own existence, then what's the reason to live? If you can't be recognized by others, then admit yourself first. ”

"As for the question of boredom you mention, how many people in this world repeat the same thing day after day? Boredom may be a norm, but when it becomes a habit, it naturally becomes a part of life, not just a way of doing things and a result. ”

After the night walker finished these two long words, he paused and then looked at Mo Ye and said, "How is it, is my answer to you the same as not saying anything?" ”

It was the first time Mo Ye had heard the night walker say so many words, and he felt a little surprised, a little fresh, but more of an uncertainty. Listening to the Night Walker's last question, she nodded, and shook her head again.

"Little girl, I don't know why you asked me this in the first place, but I overheard a little bit of your conversation with that adult just now."

The Night Walkers hesitated at this point,

"A person will probably have two things in his life, loyalty and filial piety, but he can only keep one thing in his life. For people like me, Providence has already chosen for me, but it is simple, and the process of facing the choice is hard. That adult is a little too protective of you, and at your age, there's nothing wrong with him doing that. ”

Mo Ye felt a little surprised by the result of the leak of the conversation, but when she thought that the object of the leak was the night walker in front of her, it was easier to explain. The most important thing is that this person who did not take the initiative to hear her conversation with Lin Shan was not an open-mouthed person, and it was not a big problem to listen to it.

After a slight change in expression, Mo Ye said calmly: "I know that Master is all for my good, but the thing I quarreled with him just now is not this. ”

"All I heard was what you were talking about." The Night Walker said briefly, but in fact, it was said at this time, which was similar to the meaning of "no comment". Then he suddenly turned over and prepared to leave.

Mo Ye didn't mean to stop him in a hurry, just put down the bowl, and walked out of the house, while saying as if talking to himself: "I don't know why, Master obviously doesn't have a good impression of Liao Shi, but whenever he talks about him, he always emphasizes that I should be grateful to him." I don't know what's wrong, but I don't have a good impression of him from the bottom of my heart. ”

"Medicine Ghost Liao Shi?" The night pedestrian, who had already jumped on the tile ridge, suddenly stopped and glanced back at Mo Ye.

It's just that he can overhear the conversation of the people in the house, and his ears are not bad.

"You know him?" Seeing this, Mo Ye perked up.

After hesitating for a moment, the Night Walkers said, "When it comes to good feelings, there shouldn't be many people who have a good impression of him. It is rumored that since he entered the industry, he has treated four people, but none of those four people survived, which is the origin of 'treating four dead and four', and the name of the medicine ghost has evolved in this way. ”

This rumor sounded fresh, but it made Mo Ye dumbfounded, "Isn't that no one was saved by him?" ”

"There is a cure and there is a failure, but no matter what, the hope is entrusted to the doctor, if the expectations are not met, there will still be people who are difficult to let go!" The night walker looked at Mo Ye, a faint complex expression appeared in his eyes, and said: "Liao Shi is still alive now, so it can be seen that the rumors may not be able to be believed." ”

Yes, in addition to the deviation in the numbers, these rumors are also empty in fact, and they are not the most obvious examples?

Mo Ye's mind was in a trance, and the things he gained from a few conversations with this night walker were somewhat rich to the point of complexity. By the time she had calmed down, the night walker had long since left, and it was hard to find a trace.

Glancing at the corner of the tile ridge where the night walker stood just now, Mo Ye suddenly had an illusion again, perhaps the master's attitude towards Liao Shi was not indifference, but out of vigilance to protect her.

After all, even if the rumors of four deaths are inaccurate, they at least reflect a worrying problem.

She was thinking this in her heart, and Qu Xia's voice sounded in her ears.

"Ye'er." Qu Xia walked over, first glanced at the kitchen a few times, then looked at Mo Ye, and Wen Yan said: "Tomorrow the bamboo temple will open the altar, I will go to worship incense, and I want to bring you back with a string of wrist beads." Here, let me measure your wrist. ”

Mo Ye stretched out his hands and asked curiously at the same time, "Bamboo Temple?" Far away? ”

"It's not far, it's in the city." Qu Xia took a silk thread and compared it to Bi Moye's wrist, and said with a smile after finishing: "But you don't have to think about going with him, I asked him just now, and I won't let you go." ”

Mo Ye was a little unhappy when she heard what he said, but after skimming the corners of her mouth twice, she made a disdainful look again, and said lightly: "If you don't go, you won't go, there are either nuns or monks in the temple, and there's nothing fun." ”

Qu Xia shook his head lightly and didn't say anything.

Mo Ye suddenly smiled again: "Grandpa Qu, I heard that in addition to shaving his head every day, the monk also has a row of dots on his head, is that so?" ”

"Hey, don't be joking." Qu Xia's eyes were now reproachful, "That's called a ring scar, and only a virtuous master can have it." ”

Mo Ye said disapprerovingly: "Aren't the people in Buddhism paying attention to pure cultivation and inaction, so isn't there still a difference in rank?" ”

"That's because you had this kind of thought at the beginning of your view, and not all the people in Buddhism are shaved, and there are many lay disciples who lead the practice." Qu Xia raised his palms when he said this, and said, "The Buddha is in my heart." ”

"I don't understand." Mo Ye shook his head, and suddenly smiled again: "Why don't grandpa take me there tomorrow, and I will have a chance to understand." ”

"Little clever ghost, I knew you had something else on your mind." Qu Xia rubbed Mo Ye's hair lovingly, calmed down and said, "But you forgot what you said just now?" ”
