When I woke up, it was already dark.

As soon as I walked out of the bedroom, I smelled the fragrance coming from my nose.

"Brother, seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I am embarrassed to call you, it is really a coincidence that it is better to wake up early than to wake up, the dish has just been served, sit down!" Yuan Datou was holding a bottle of Beijing Erguotou in his hand and was pouring it for Hao Minyuan.

Hao Minyuan and the others were already seated, and they were all holding chopsticks in their hands.

I couldn't help but look Yuan Datou up and down carefully, his face was ruddy, full of energy, and he didn't look like he was sick.

Yuan's daughter-in-law brought a pot of sauerkraut fish, and the moment she put the pot on the table, she looked at me with strange eyes, turned around and went back to the kitchen. This made me a little confused, and I couldn't guess what kind of drama these two people were playing.

Sauerkraut fish is my favorite.

Unceremoniously scooped a bowl for himself, and just wanted to put down the chopsticks, when he suddenly thought of the stinky fish in Zhang Laohan's house, he felt an itch in his throat.

"Big head, this fish ...... Where did this fish come from? ”

Yuan Datou didn't know that Hao Minyuan and I saw a pot of stinky dead fish at Zhang Laohan's house, and replied with a smile: "Sun Jingshui, who fishes in the village, bought it, but the lively Yellow River grass carp is the most suitable for hot pot fish." ”

When I heard that it was alive, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hao Minyuan didn't get drunk tonight, and Yuan Datou didn't persuade as wildly as last night, although the two of them were still talking and laughing, I could see that they both had something on their minds.

After drinking tea and chatting, Hao Minyuan received a phone call, said hello to us, and went out, I knew that it must be the five supporting criminal policemen sent by Liu Liwei.

There were a few of us left, and we chatted for a while, maybe because we were not familiar with each other, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, and what made me even more embarrassed was that Yuan Datou looked at his phone almost every two minutes, looking impatient.

I finally couldn't help it: "Big brother, are you tired?" ”

Yuan Datou put the phone in his pocket and stood up embarrassedly:

"Brother, I'll tell you nothing, I have something important tonight, so I won't accompany the two of you! You two...... When you two are tired, go and rest, don't get tired...... If you're not tired, drink some tea. ”

Xiao He and I also stood up: "Big brother, what's the matter with you on the big night?" Need help! ”

Xiao He also catered to: "That's it! Big brother, what do you need, you're welcome! ”

Yuan Datou smiled bitterly twice and waved his hand: "Thank you, brother and sister, but I'm afraid you won't be able to help with this matter-hey!" Let me tell you the truth! I...... I'll catch a golden toad and treat your sister-in-law. ”

"Golden toad?" Xiao He and I shouted at the same time.

"Yes! The golden toad in the old pond outside the village, as long as I catch the golden toad, your sister-in-law will drink the blood of the golden toad, and her face will return to its original state? ”

And this kind of thing...... I was so shocked that I was speechless for a while, and Xiao He also opened his mouth and looked at Yuan Datou with disbelief.

"Big brother, who told you this?"

Yuan Datou smiled very mysteriously: "Brother, it's not that I can't trust you, this ...... I promised to keep this a secret! ”

After speaking, he seemed to be very relaxed, and went to the next room to get a small red bucket, a hood, a one-man high wooden stick, and a black bag, which was heavy, bulging inside, and I couldn't see anything: "Okay!" The golden toad only appears on the fifteenth or sixteenth night of each month, and I have to catch whatever I say this month. ”

When I said this, I saw the fierceness in his eyes, I don't know if it was my psychological effect, and I felt that his eyes were a little red.

Waiting for Yuan Datou to walk out of the courtyard gate, Xiao He turned around and looked at me suspiciously: "Xiao Liu, you ...... Have you ever heard of a golden toad in the world? ”

I smiled and shook my head: "Where is the golden toad in the world, it is estimated that Brother Yuan is too eager to hope that his sister-in-law will restore her appearance, and he has been fooled by someone!" ”

At this time, Yuan's daughter-in-law walked out of the kitchen.

In the past two days, I have been quite puzzled, except for the two of them falling into tears in the early hours of this morning, his daughter-in-law gives people the feeling that she is enthusiastic, diligent, capable, skillful, and a little introverted, because most of the time she either stays in the kitchen or stays in the bedroom, it can be said that except for half of her face with serious scars, she is almost a perfect person - of course, there may be scars on other parts of the body, which only Yuan Datou knows.

Seeing her come out, Xiao He and I hurriedly said hello.

"Sister-in-law, I've caused you trouble in the past two days!"

Xiao He also echoed my words: "Yes! Eating and sleeping—but I know you're welcome, sister-in-law! ”

Yuan Datou's daughter-in-law smiled and nodded: "Of course you're welcome!" Usually I'm at home alone, except for the fifteenth and sixteenth of each month, the big head basically doesn't come back, there are so many people with me, it's too late for my sister-in-law to be happy! ”

I can't help but think about it!

Listening to the tone, this is what she said in her heart, if they didn't quarrel because of us in the early hours of this morning, was it really because of the disharmony in the life of the husband and wife? I know that men have the urge to do that when they drink alcohol, they are all old husbands and wives, so why don't they have this tacit understanding! What's more, there are also guests at home.

"That's right! Sister-in-law, you ...... You asked me to save Brother Yuan, what do you mean? ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as my words came out, half of Yuan Datou's daughter-in-law's face turned red, and her appearance became very embarrassed: "How can there be!" Brother, you ...... You heard it wrong, my sister-in-law said that you should spend more time with your eldest brother......"

"Oh! That's fine! Looks like I misheard! "First grab

said this on his lips, but he was even more sure in his heart that Yuan Datou's daughter-in-law must have something to say to me alone, because Xiao He was by his side...... This makes me even more puzzled.

I also think it's strange, we've only known each other for less than two days, what can she do to have to talk to me alone? Speaking of which, Xiao He and I know her at the same time, Xiao He is more familiar with her, if there is anything, she should choose to talk to Xiao He or Hao Minyuan!

Helping to clean up the table, Xiao He rushed to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Yuan Datou's daughter-in-law turned around and winked at me a few times before entering the kitchen.

It's obvious, but I don't understand!

After finishing the work, the two women sat in the living room watching TV, I felt bored, and a little embarrassed, so I went back to the bedroom to chat with Wu Jinghan on WeChat.

briefly told her about today's events, and Wu Jinghan laughed for half a minute.

"People aren't going to be interesting to you, are they?"

"Nonsense! She's almost forty, I'm in my early twenties, not a generation at all, what can she mean to me? ”

Wu Jinghan still smiled: "This is not necessarily!" Don't you men often say, "What is a woman's thirty and forty?" Perhaps, people just like you for a little fresh meat! ”

"Don't talk nonsense! When no one is around, I'll ask her again - what are you doing today? ”

"Keep digging the tomb! Today, several bronzes engraved with text symbols were dug up, although some damage was made, but the text symbols on them were vaguely recognizable, and it has been determined that there is a very close relationship with Dongyi culture. ”

"Oh! Can you determine the identity of the owner of the tomb? ”

"Not yet! However, the teacher analyzed that the owner of the tomb was not an official or a citizen, and his identity may be more vulgar. ”

My curiosity resurged: "Non-government and non-civilian, what else can it be?" ”

Wu Jinghan pondered for a while: "It should be a warlock in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!" ”

Last night, I heard Wu Jinghan talk about ancient Chinese warlocks, I think it's very interesting, and I deliberately Baidu passed, and sure enough, I found thousands of pieces of information related to it, and I have to sigh, in a way, Mr. Jingkong is the same as the nature of Baidu engine, and they are both human teachers......

Warlock is actually a very general term, and the "shu" here can be understood as "alien art".

What is an anomaly? Strange art is the secret art, the occult art, the extraordinary art, the subdivision of the physiognomy, the prophecy, the spell, the bait, the Gu art, the illusion, the spell, the forbidden art, the escape art, the nightmare art, the alchemy, the dragon gate art, the Wanbi art, the Kanyu art, the corpse expulsion art, the Luban art, the list goes on.

If you have a strange art, you are an alien, and you are collectively referred to as "warlocks".

Before the Qin Dynasty, there were many supernatural powers and many warlocks. Some people go in and out of the court, some people linger in the market, some people live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, or doormen, or Langzhong, or Fangshi, or wizards, or Taoists, or monks, or Confucians, or rangers, or Mr. Feng Shui, with different faces and identities.

If you think of xenomagic as an ancient culture, then it can be said that to this day, this culture has been lost!

"When will you be back?"

"Looks like it's going to stay a few more days, I'm not sure now, I'll do it as soon as possible!"

"When you're gone, I know what it means to 'see each other at first sight, like every three autumns'."

Wu Jinghan's silver bell-like laughter first came from the phone: "Say that you are uneducated, and you still don't believe it, that word is called 'I don't see ...... for a day' - you...... You big scoundrel! ”

The two chatted until half past ten, and then said goodnight to each other.

This time I lay down and fell asleep quickly, dazed, and I don't know how long I had been asleep, when suddenly I heard a "squeak" and the door was pushed open.

When I opened my eyes, I saw an unkempt figure standing in the doorway, still motionless.

"Who?"

In a panic, I hurriedly pulled the quilt over the key parts of my body.

The shadow moved and walked towards me, and I subconsciously moved backwards, leaning my back against the wall.

"Don't shout, big brother, it's me!"

"Sister-in-law? You...... What are you doing in my room in the middle of the night? ”

In fact, after asking this, I probably guessed her purpose.

Yuan's daughter-in-law walked up to me, and it was then that I noticed that she was only wearing a Ruth pajamas, her hair untied and scattered. This girl is in such a good figure, she can't see it in a coat, and at this time, her graceful curves and tall peaks are all revealed, maybe because she hasn't given birth to a child! Her waist is particularly straight.

"Brother, there is something my sister-in-law wants to ask you for help, Captain Hao and Sister Xiao He are not suitable......"

All of a sudden, I was completely sleepy, and I didn't have the heart to "see" at her good figure.

"Sister-in-law, what's so secret, I ...... How can I help? ”

Yuan Datou's daughter-in-law nodded: "It's most appropriate to ask you for help, but you ...... You don't care if you can help or not, you must help your sister-in-law keep it secret! ”

I nodded almost conditionally.
