Chapter 454: Fishskin Mask
Dao Yan looked at the thing in front of him with a sneer, and directly tore off a thin film with his face, Qian Mansheng thought that there would be a river of blood soon, but he didn't expect to fix his eyes, Dao Yan was holding a mask in his hand, and under the mask was an old man's face with withered bark, but it was much better than the fish face just now.
Dao Yan put his fingers on the fish skin mask and gave it to Li Xiruo: "It's a good thing." ”
Li Xiruo took it and touched it, it is indeed a good craft, this kind of scales and cheeks, generally only by painting special effects makeup, painting on the face can come out of this effect, but it is indeed rare to make this thing with just a piece of skin that people can paste on it and change their faces.
The old man saw that the thing fell into other hands, and when he came up, he wanted to grab it, Dao Yan still wanted to tease him, Li Xiruo glanced at him and handed the thing back.
The old man snatched it, holding it in her hand, she took out Gu Minghan's photo and put it in front of the old man's eyes: "Have you seen this person?" ”
The old man looked at the photo, and suddenly smiled stupidly, holding saliva while laughing, and didn't know what to think, he cried again coldly, muttering something nonsense in his mouth, Dao Yan asked Li Xiruo to take back the photo, don't waste your efforts, this person is stupid at first glance.
Li Xiruo pursed his lips and was about to walk forward, Zuo Siqi, who was holding the old wooden box, appeared in front of the old man, the old man trembled, as if he was frozen, the fish skin mask he cherished just now fell to the ground, his eyes opened, and he opened his hand and wanted to go up and grab Zuo Siqi's things.
Zuo Siqi took a step back, and Zhou Run hurriedly blocked it with his body: "Old man, what are you doing?" ”
This old man is old, his temper is not small, and his strength is also used to pushing the stone mill and holding the iron pestle, he pushed Zhou Run aside too, and just wanted to stretch out his hand, Dao Yan grabbed him from behind.
"You are an old disrespectful person, and you still want to attack other people's little girls?"
Dao Yan lived too long, he thought that he was the ancestor of this old man according to his age, and he spoke like a child.
Li Xiruo walked up to the old man and said, "What do you want this box for?" ”
The old man's eyes widened, and he suddenly looked up at the heavens and said, "Unlucky, unlucky, this is an unlucky thing, you can't bring it to the village, you quickly throw it away." ”
Zuo Siqi glanced down at his box, there was nothing special except for the old.
Li Xiruo's gaze returned to the box, and he was suddenly curious about what it contained.
She turned around and touched the lock, and Zuo Siqi hurriedly said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Li Xiruo smiled: "Don't you want to open it?" ”
She applied her spiritual power slightly, thinking that this lock would fall immediately, but she didn't expect it to be even more imprisoned, she sank her eyebrows, although her spiritual power had decreased by half, but it was not so much that she couldn't even open an ordinary lock.
She tried again and it had the same effect.
Zuo Siqi, who had been staring at her, said, "Can't even you open it?" ”
Li Xiruo withdrew his hand, Dao Yan saw that he had a chance to show, and a cloud of black gas was born in his palm, which was poured into the lock, but he didn't expect the lock to be hot and burn his palm.
Li Xiruo only then discovered that this lock is an ordinary lock, it looks like it is vulnerable, but in fact, every time it bears an external attack, it will open the mode of self-protection and become more reliable.
Zuo Siqi turned the box around, ready to take a closer look, but he didn't expect the old man to take advantage of this gap, stepped forward to hug it, ran a few steps away and threw the box on the ground, and kept kicking: "Bad thing, bad thing, kill you." ”
Zuo Siqi looked distressed, and just wanted to step forward to stop him, so he watched him pick up a stone on the side and smash it at the box, but he didn't expect the box to be unscathed, and the stone also rebounded and bounced on the old man's head.
Zhou Run and Qian Mansheng also looked at it, swallowed a mouthful of saliva for a long time, thinking about what kind of village this village is, even a box is so weird.
When everyone thought that the old man would faint with a stone, he immediately came to his senses again, took out a piece of wood and slapped it on the box: "I told you to move, I told you to move." ”
The piece of wood was slightly earthy yellow, with some black spots on it, Li Xiruo squinted, this Shucun is really a treasure everywhere.
Strange to say, the old man smoked the box a few times with wood, and the box was obediently let him beat it, and no more strange things happened.
Li Xiruo walked towards the old man, and was about to speak, when a young man ran over anxiously.
It is rare to see such a fair-skinned person as him in the village, with a slight childishness on his face, and his appearance is delicate, but his hands are already covered with scratches at a young age, but it definitely does not look left by doing farm work.
"Grandpa, why are you here? Didn't you stay at home? ”
When he saw the box on the ground, he knew that it was not his own thing, so he quickly picked it up and opened it with his sleeve, and looked at Li Xiruo and the others with vigilance: "You are strangers." ”
Zuo Siqi nodded: "Yes, we want to do some research, this box ......"
The young man immediately handed it over, but the old man shouted at the top of his voice: "No, this box is a scourge, a scourge." ”
The young man hugged the old man from behind: "Grandpa, don't make trouble, go back with me." ”
Li Xiruo looked at the wood in the old man's hand: "This is lightning strike wood, the market price of this thing is not cheap, have you considered making a move?" ”
Lightning strike wood, as the name suggests, is the tree that has been struck by lightning, the general wood will be scorched after lightning strikes, become waste trees, and there are some trees, under the lightning strike but grow better, this kind of wood does not die after lightning strikes, and the rebirth of the phoenix is a bit similar, which in the folk view can deter all demons and monsters, so lightning strike wood is often made into jewelry, used to ward off evil spirits.
The old man saw that Li Xiruo was inquiring about the market of the things in his hand, and immediately stopped making trouble, looked at Li Xiruo vigilantly, firmly stuffed the lightning strike wood in his arms, and said to his grandson: "Let's go, let's go back, don't play with them." ”
The young man nodded at them and walked back with the old man, Dao Yan laughed and scolded the madman in the back, but Li Xiruo stared at the direction they were going, and just wanted to catch up, he heard a person panting and shouting: "But, I can find you." ”
As soon as Li Xiruo turned around, he saw Wu Ming in a cheap suit, the red flower on his chest had been ravaged in a panic, and he was sweating profusely and bent over with his hands supporting the wooden plank door, and he couldn't speak.
Dao Yan glanced at Wu Ming: "Something?" ”
Wu Ming hurriedly raised his head: "Masters, please go back with me and see my mother." ”
He didn't know who in this group of people had real skills, so he could only call everyone out.
"Aren't we going to get in the way of your mother's eyes? I don't think it's appropriate. ”
Listening to Dao Yan's words, Wu Ming gasped and said with difficulty: "Okay, okay, we have no eyes and no beads, we don't know Mount Tai, master, you have pity on me, go back with us, my mother is dying." ”
Li Xiruo looked at him indifferently: "I have made it very clear before that you insist on choosing to get married, and since you are married, you have to bear the consequences." ”
Wu Ming wiped a handful of sweat beads, and knelt on the ground with a horizontal heart: "Master, I beg you here, my father died early, my mother raised two children by herself, and there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, she has finally been able to enjoy Qingfu for so many years, if it is so gone, I, I will go down to her to be a filial son." ”
Wu Ming is a big man, crying and kneeling, even Qian Mansheng, who has never been able to see others well, can't bear it, but Li Xiruo said: "You don't like He Jiao, you want to marry her because of your mother?" Is this considered filial piety? ”
Wu Ming was stunned for a while, he didn't know how to answer, he didn't know how Li Xiruo had insight into all this, but he didn't know how obvious it was when he was going to get married, and everyone with a discerning eye knew how dissatisfied he was with this wife, they said that they had been together for a hundred years, and they were happy, but in their hearts they were already thinking about when this man would leave home, abandon the daughter-in-law in the township, and go to find someone in the city.
"Yes, my mother is a lot older, she saves me the money, and she is reluctant to wear new clothes, her only wish in this life is to watch me marry a daughter-in-law, and I must fulfill it for her."
He doesn't like He Jiao, he worked in the city for two years, and all he looked at were white and thin girls, and when he came back and saw such a rough woman, he couldn't afford to be happy, but Chen Lan thought that such a woman was a good daughter-in-law who was honest and willing to selflessly dedicate herself at home.
"If you marry her, what you have generated is a contractual relationship, and you have to be responsible for her, not only to share the property between the husband and wife, but also to share your own love with her, and you can't do it, this is not filial piety, it is foolishness."
These words came out of Zuo Siqi's mouth, and the anger in her eyes was because she knew Wu Ming's thoughts, married He Jiao, obeyed her mother's wishes, and found a little nanny for free.
Wu Ming was suddenly a little ashamed, wanted to justify, but couldn't speak, he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, scratching everywhere, but then He Jiao, who was wearing a red wedding dress, appeared, and she heard what she said just now.
She was supposed to take care of Chen Lan at home, but she was afraid that the two brothers would not be able to persuade Li Xiruo back, so she secretly followed.
Wu Ming saw her coming, and he didn't know what to say, he didn't even look at He Jiao, so he knelt on the ground in a red wedding dress: "Master, all the problems are with me, I don't believe it, as long as you are willing to save your mother, you can do whatever you want me to do." Is kowtowing enough? ”
As she spoke, she slammed her head down, and everyone was shocked when they looked at the posture, for fear that her head would bloom if she went down.
He Jiao also did this with the purpose of seeing blood, but she didn't expect that before she touched the ground, her body stiffened, and the next second she loosened up, and her head touched the ground slightly.
Li Xiruo said beside her, "Let's go." ”
