"I see!" Baili Liang smiled bitterly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The two soon arrived at the old man Gu Kai's house, Gu Kai lived alone, and there was no light in the house at this time.

"The old man probably slept." Baili Liang estimated the time.

"How can it, the grandfather sleeps late, the grandfather rarely lights up the lamp after eating at night, and recites the scriptures in the house after eating." Zhang Qing went up and knocked on the door, knocked a few times and no one answered, and then knocked again, "Master, it's me Xiaoqing, I'll send you a big white steamed bun." ”

Still no answer.

"Will it ...... Went out? "Baili Liangdao.

"Except for me, he doesn't like anyone in this town, so he won't go to the door. Well...... Grandpai...... You won't get sick! Zhang Qing began to get nervous, "Master, I'm Xiaoqing, open the door quickly." ”

There was no sound in the house. Baili Liang went up and pushed the door hard, but there was a bolt on it, and it couldn't be opened.

"Brother Liang, I'll come." Zhang Qing pulled away Baili Liang, he stepped back a few feet away, ran up and kicked open the door of the house. The wooden bolt behind the door made a cracking sound in the silent night, but the sound was not particularly loud, "I asked the master to change the bolt earlier, and the wood is rotten." Zhang Qing tossed the deadbolt at the door of the house aside.

Baili Liang and Zhang Qing passed the hall and walked to the room on the right, as soon as they entered the room, Baili Liang and Zhang Qing were frightened at the same time. In the middle of the room hung a man on the beam, and the moonlight from the back window depicted fear on the man's face, which was the face of an old man, thin and fleshless, with a half-shriveled tongue hanging out, and the whole person was like an air-dried old bacon, apparently dead for a long time.

"Too ...... Grandpa! How so, how can it be...... Woo woo...... "Zhang Qing sat down on the ground weakly, and it took a while to get up, bring a stool, and go to put down Gu Kai's corpse.

"I'll do it." Baili Liang pulled Zhang Qing down from the stool, he picked up the old man, put the old man's body down, and carried him to the bed again.

Zhang Qing has been whining and crying, and the six gods have no master. Baili Liang lit the oil lamp in the house, and went to find the old man's clean clothes, since he dealt with Wan Fugui's death, Bai Li Liang was calm enough.

The old man's house is simply furnished, and the tables and chairs are made roughly, but there is a delicate small box, the material and workmanship of the box are excellent, and it is obviously not something that ordinary people can afford.

The small box was not locked, and when it was opened, there were a few clean clothes inside, and Baili Liang took a set out, and the box was bottomed out.

"Hey, what is this?" Baili Liang found a copper ring at the bottom of the box, the copper ring is the width of a thumb, and he looked carefully at the oil lamp, and there was a circle of incomprehensible words engraved on it, and its material was just ordinary brass.

"That...... It's an armband. Zhang Qing sobbed, "I'...... I met it once, and my grandfather told me...... Isn't it good...... Good things, tell me not to touch them, saying that whoever gets it is who's own, and I can't get rid of it for the rest of my life. ”

"Well, let's change my wife's clothes." Baili Liang wondered in his heart, since it was not a good thing, why not throw it away, and he put the armband back in the small box.

The two of them changed Gu Kai's clothes, and Bai Liliang and Zhang Qing found two shovels and went to dig a pit in the yard. Zhang Qing is small, but he has a lot of strength, and in less than an hour, the two of them dug a dirt pit, picked up Gu Kai, and respectfully put it into the pit, Zhang Qing cried hoarsely.

"The old man can't even think of it at such an age, cough!" Baili Liang also shed a few tears.

"The master is so ruthless!" After piling up the soil, Zhang Qing put the steamed buns given to Gu Kai in front of the grave, knelt down and cried again, and Baili Liang also put his steamed buns over.

Baili Liang couldn't persuade Zhang Qing, so he went back to Gu Kai's house, his body began to emit bursts of pain, and he wanted to see if there was any condition to boil water in the kitchen for a bath.

Gu Kai's kitchen has only one stove and one pot, there is no well in the yard, and the water in the water tank has bottomed out. It seems that it is still convenient in the inn, Baili Liang was about to leave, and the oil lamp in his hand shone on a corner of the kitchen, and the firewood in that corner was emptied, and the ground was scraped a little, piled up into a pile of small soil, and three burned incense sticks were erected on it.

Baili Liang thought, probably because of the custom of sacrificing to the god of the stove here, he walked out in a hurry, the pain became more and more intense, and he had to quickly boil water to take a bath.

"Xiaoqing, I'm going to the inn." Baili Liang screamed a little embarrassed, people were sad, but he was anxious to take a bath.

"Hmm." Zhang Qing kowtowed three times to Gu Kai's grave, and then got up, "Master, Xiaoqing will come to visit you again when I have time." ”

The two of them arrived at the kitchen of the inn, Baili Liang was familiar with the door, endured the great pain, and with the help of Zhang Qing, boiled a few pots of boiling water and took a bath, Zhang Qing was still sad, and when he handed boiling water to Baili Liang, he was still wiping his tears.

"Xiaoqing, the grandfather is also old, and it is only a matter of time before his old man leaves." Baili Liang comforted.

"I know, but ...... People are just so sad, woo woo ......" Zhang Qing cried more and more sadly, "My grandfather taught me kung fu, made me delicious pho, and told me about him when he was young, woo woo...... I can't get my grandfather's good anymore. ”

"It turns out that you are sad because you can't get the benefits of grandpa, you kid! …… Pho? That's a local snack in the area of Guangnan East Road, how can the grandfather ...... Oh, you said he traveled from south to north, did the grandfather go out of town when he was young? ”

"Well, the master said that he was out and about until he was sixty years old, and he came back to Manzhen when he was old. I envy my grandfather, it was the stories he told me that made me think that one day I could go out to see and see, but unfortunately, the patriarch didn't let us go out, and my father didn't let me, saying that we could only stay here for the rest of my life, and I wasn't allowed to go anywhere, and said that there were many bad people outside, like my mother was pregnant with me when she met a bad person. I don't believe it, the grandfather said that there are more good people than bad people outside, and I believe the grandfather's words. Zhang Qing said that he didn't cry anymore.

"Did the master ever tell him how old he was in the town?" Baili Liang remembered what Gu Kai said when Wan Fugui went to find Gu Kai, when Gu Kai told Wan Fugui that he had been a small official in the town when he was young, and he could be a certain age to be a small official.

"I didn't ask this, Brother Liang, what are you asking for?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I envy the grandfather too. Xiaoqing, why is the patriarch not allowed you to go out of town? ”

"It's just not allowed, saying that when I turn eighteen years old, I will naturally tell me the reason, and that in the future, our children and grandchildren will not be allowed to go out of the town, and they will stay in the town for generations."

"Your customs are very strange." Baili Liang became more and more curious about the people and things in this town.

"Isn't it, Mayor Mare is simply unreasonable. Brother Liang, when the people of Dusk Yuren are gone, you can take me away, I want to go around the world like my grandfather, eat delicious food, and look good. ”

"If your father agrees, I have no opinion. Xiaoqing, what did the master tell you about something funny, you tell me. ”

"Wow." Zhang Qing talked endlessly about Gu Kai's youth.
