Chapter 37: Fools
I don't know how long he slept, in the haze he heard a strange sound outside the window, he thought it was Bai Xiaoyan coming back, but when he opened the window, he found that it was Granny Li's stupid grandson walking around the yard.
Cao Xiaoyang felt curious, so he followed him to the courtyard and asked him, "Dog, what are you doing when you don't sleep at night?"
Goudan danced his fist twice at Cao Xiaoyang, and said with a humble eyebrow: "I'm practicing, when I finish practicing martial arts, I will go to Shaolin Temple to apprentice, and then I will become a martial arts master." ”
Cao Xiaoyang smiled, thinking that he was really a fool, but then he suddenly remembered what Goudan said at the festival just now, and was a little curious for a while, so he asked: "Goudan, what is the matter with the person you said before who was haunted by ghosts, as well as the pillar and his wife?"
Zhuzi glanced at Cao Xiaoyang aggrievedly, and said, "Grandma won't let me speak, and if I don't listen to her, I'll be slapped again." ”
Saying that, I saw him rubbing his face that was a little swollen by Granny Li just now, Cao Xiaoyang looked at it and smiled slightly, thinking that this Granny Li was really willing to put down this heavy hand, after all, this stupid boy was his own grandson.
At this time, Cao Xiaoyang took out a chocolate bar from his pocket and said, "Dog, do you know what this is?"
Dogan glanced at the chocolate, and suddenly a kid became very excited, as if Cao Xiaoyang was holding a gold bar in his hand.
"Yes...... It's chocolate candy, last year his uncle brought him a few pieces from the city, and he licked the candy wrapper for me after eating, it tasted so good, I almost swallowed the candy wrapper. ”
Cao Xiaoyang smiled. "Do you want to eat it now?"
The dog's jaw was already dripping. "Yes, I can think about it!"
As he spoke, he pounced on the chocolate in Cao Xiaoyang's hand, Cao Xiaoyang withdrew his hand, and this guy almost fell into the mud.
"Now, then, you tell me about those faceless people and pillars and his wife, this chocolate is yours, if you make it clear, I can give you a few more pieces, I still have more in my bag." ”
Seeing that this guy was still a little hesitant, Cao Xiaoyang continued: "Don't worry, I will never tell your grandmother about this, just treat it as a secret between the two of us, do you think it's okay?"
Goudan finally nodded, and then he snatched the chocolate in Cao Xiaoyang's hand, and as soon as the bag was torn open, he swallowed it in one bite like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit.
This scared Cao Xiaoyang all of a sudden. "Damn, you ate the plastic paper too!"
The dog had already coughed violently while talking, Cao Xiaoyang hurriedly patted him on the back, and after tossing for a long time, this guy finally spit out the plastic packaging bag.
Cao Xiaoyang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and was about to ask the dog about those faceless people and pillars, when he heard Granny Li's voice from the next room.
"Dog, why don't you sleep at night!"
The dog smiled stupidly at Cao Xiaoyang. "My grandmother told me to go back to sleep. ”
Early the next morning, Bai Xiaoyan came back.
Cao Xiaoyang hurriedly asked him. "What the hell was that last night, did you catch him at the end?"
Bai Xiaoyan shook his head. "No, he's so fast, I chased him all night and he didn't slow down, I guess it's either a ghost or a demon. ”
Cao Xiaoyang was a little surprised for a while. "No, even you can't catch up, that guy's ability is really big enough, could it be that he has the power of the Yin Seal?"
"It's possible, but I chased him out of Sanhe Village for at least a few hundred kilometers last night, has there been any change in the positioning of your crystal box?"
Cao Xiaoyang shook his head. "It hasn't changed since I got here. ”
"Maybe it's not him, the power of the Yin Seal should still be in the village now. ”
Because of flying outside all night, Bai Xiaoyan was also a little tired, and then rested in the room.
And Tang Wenwen has completely become a little lazy cat since she adjusted to the human schedule, dozing off all day long, and she has also developed a stinky problem of sleeping lazy, and she has not gotten up yet.
Cao Xiaoyang ate some of his own dry food at random, and planned to go out to investigate the whereabouts of the power of Yin Xi, but as soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate of Granny Li's house, he was suddenly covered by someone, and then forcibly dragged to the next baogu field.
Cao Xiaoyang was blindsided all of a sudden, thinking that the security in Sanhe Village was so bad? If you go out early in the morning, you can encounter robbery!
At this time, the man suddenly let go of his hand, and Cao Xiaoyang looked back and saw that the dog was smiling at him stupidly.
"That...... Do you still have chocolate?"
Cao Xiaoyang became popular all of a sudden. "And the chocolates, you didn't tell me anything about it last night. ”
"Give me another piece and I'll tell you. ”
Cao Xiaoyang snorted coldly. "You're as stupid as you are, I'll eat you, and you'll pat your ass again and run away. ”
Goudan shook his head, "If you give me food, I'll tell you." ”
Cao Xiaoyang sighed, thinking that he really didn't need to worry about a fool, so he said, "Come back to the house with me to get it, I don't have it on me now." ”
Cao Xiaoyang opened his mountaineering backpack, only to see that there were more than a dozen pieces of chocolate in it, because he had considered going out for a long time, this kind of chocolate bar was used by him to replenish energy on the way, but he didn't expect this sweet thing to become a rarity in the eyes of this fool.
He picked up a chocolate bar, and in order to prevent the fool from swallowing it with the outer packaging again, this time he peeled it and handed it to him.
Dog Egg may also really want to taste the taste of this thing, this time he ate a little slower, and after eating, his face showed a satisfied expression, but his eyes quickly stared at Cao Xiaoyang's backpack again.
Cao Xiaoyang hurriedly zipped up his backpack and coughed.
"Now I can always say it. ”
Goudan nodded and said, "I'm stupid, I may not be able to tell you clearly, so I'll take you to see him directly." ”
As he spoke, he took Cao Xiaoyang's hand and led him to an abandoned tile house on the edge of the village.
The house looks quite big, and outside the house is a yard with a well in the yard.
At this time, Cao Xiaoyang saw a middle-aged man in ragged clothes sitting at the door of the courtyard, his hair was messy like a pile of dry grass, his body was stained with a lot of mud, and he was not wearing shoes on his feet.
Goudan pointed at this person and said to Cao Xiaoyang: "He is the pillar, his wife has become a ghost, and he harms people in the village all day long." ”
When Cao Xiaoyang heard what he said, he still didn't understand what he meant.
"Has his wife become a ghost?
Dogan shook his head. "That's what my grandmother said, I haven't seen a ghost, but I've seen his wife when she was alive. ”
Speaking of this, the dog suddenly laughed.
"His wife is so good-looking, I thought it would be good if I could marry such a beautiful wife at any time, and I would definitely give her all the good things to eat at that time......"
Cao Xiaoyang slapped him on the head. "Stop me, don't think about other people's wives first, tell me, how did his wife become a ghost?"
At this time, the dog's face suddenly changed, and his speech became incoherent.
"His wife...... died, died so miserably, blood...... Bugs, blood and bugs, lots of blood, lots of bugs......"
As he spoke, this guy suddenly became excited, and then pushed Cao Xiaoyang away and ran in the direction of home.
Cao Xiaoyang looked a little helpless, thinking that this fool really couldn't believe it, but he felt that since he said so, the haunting in this village should not be groundless, and now that this pillar is around, he should still ask him about it.
So he went to the gate of the house and crouched down in front of the pillar.
The pillar sat on the ground hugging his knees, his hair almost completely covering his face, but Cao Xiaoyang could still see the two snow-white eyes staring at him between his hair.
"Your name is a pillar, aren't you?"
The pillar propped up and moved back a little, as if unwilling to talk to Cao Xiaoyang, Cao Xiaoyang moved closer to him and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
"I'm not a bad person, I just wanted to ask you something. ”
At this time, he felt that the pillar's body was trembling violently, and Cao Xiaoyang seemed to be able to feel the fear in his heart, but at the same time, he also found that he was a mentally disordered person.
Cao Xiaoyang wanted to continue trying to communicate with him, but then Granny Li's voice came from behind him.
"Young man, what are you doing, stay away from that man, he's a madman, and if he's crazy, he'll beat people. ”
