Chapter 22: Saving Master's Life
As soon as Master's words fell, I suddenly felt a wave of uneasiness, and as we got closer to the imp, my heart beat more and more violently because of the uneasy feeling.
Just when we were less than two meters away from the old Zheng Tou's house where the little ghost was hiding, I stopped because I couldn't stand the suffocation caused by the violent beating of my heart.
Master, and Zhu Qinshou and I walked away in a row, and I was protected by them in the middle. So I stopped, and they all noticed it.
"What's wrong, Shoichi?" Master asked.
I couldn't say anything to answer Master, because my forehead was already covered with fine sweat, and I had to grit my teeth to endure it in order not to make a sound and disturb the little ghost.
At this time, the uneasiness in my heart reached an unprecedented intensity, and I couldn't help but say, I took the hands of Master and Zhu Qinshou, and ran back with all the strength of my body.
I'm going to run! I'm getting out of here!
Only by staying away from the place where the imp is hiding will my inner turmoil gradually diminish.
When I got to the place where Master had asked the two brothers to set up the formation, I stopped, put my hands on my knees and gasped for air.
"Shoichi, what's wrong with you?" Master took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from my head for me.
"Division...... Father, I feel ...... Feel it, that...... Very...... It's dangerous! I gasped as I said.
And the master didn't answer me, he and Zhu Qinshou glanced at each other, and they both seemed to understand something from each other's eyes.
"Xiao Zhu, you go outside and bring everyone in. Don't tell Lao Tzu that he leaked his mouth! Master said to Zhu Qinshou.
Zhu Qinshou frowned, nodded, and then turned back to the room where he rested before.
Master took out something from the Dharma bag behind him and handed it to me, and when I saw it, it was an 87-style marching aluminum kettle.
I opened the kettle and took a few sips of water.
It turns out that when people are strongly disturbed, they are thirsty!
Master watched me finish drinking water, wiped my sweaty hair with a handkerchief, and said, "Zhengyi, thank you! ”
What is this crazy old man smoking? Why thank me all of a sudden?
Just when my second brother-in-law was confused, Zhu Qinshou had already brought all the people from the periphery over.
"Master Chen......"
Zhu Qinshou walked up to the master and was about to speak, but was glared at by the master and forcibly held back his words.
I looked at Zhu Qinshou and laughed with an aggrieved look.
The Master looked around for a week, and then said, "There is an error in the information, so everyone should follow me up the mountain." ”
Is the information wrong? After saying these four simple words, the master did not speak anymore and led everyone to the mountain.
But in fact, it was these four simple words that everyone present and other than me understood. Everyone's hearts sank, and they didn't say anything very tacitly.
"Thank you, Shoichi."
The mountain is not high and soon we are only a few minutes away from the summit. Zhu Qinshou suddenly walked up to me and whispered to me.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, the crazy old man and Zhu Qinshou both said thank you to me. What did I do?
I know that I can't ask the answer from the mouth of that crazy old man, so I can only start with this Zhu Qinshou who can't keep his mouth!
"Uncle Zhu, why did you and Master say thank you to me?"
Originally, I thought that with Zhu Qinshou's unlocked character, he would definitely be able to ask the answer, but who knows, Zhu Qinshou glanced at me meaningfully, shook his head, and then ran forward and caught up with my master.
This made me scratch my ears and cheeks in a hurry, but there was nothing I could do.
When you reach the top of the hill and look down, you can see the whole village.
The master asked everyone to rest in place for a while, and then he called the two brothers Jianwei up and walked to the edge of the cliff without knowing what to discuss.
I sneaked up closer, wanting to hear what they were saying.
I was afraid of getting too close and being discovered by my master, so I could only sit a meter away from them and prick up my ears to listen.
But because the wind on the mountain was too strong, and their voices were so quiet, I could only vaguely hear Master say, "There are five places in the array eye...... The last one is here...... You guys take a few more people with you......"
After I watched the two brothers nod at the same time, I quickly straightened my body and pretended not to hear anything.
Then, under the selection of the master, the two brothers Jianwei left with most of the people, leaving only the master, Zhu Qinshou, me, and another person on the top of the mountain.
After Jianwei and the others came down the mountain, the master sat back on the edge of the cliff and took out the cigarette holder from his bag.
I was speechless, what was in this old man's magic bag?
I cautiously moved to Master's side, shielded the flame of the match with my hand, and lit the chimney for him.
I have too many questions in my heart to know the answers, but I know the character of this crazy old man too well, and if I ask directly, he will definitely not say, so try the soft one!
Master took a satisfied puff of his cigarette, then looked at me and said, "I know what you want to ask, don't have a constipated expression that you want to ask but don't ask." ”
My constipation expression? Well, I'll bear with it!
"Master, just tell me about it."
I started using my killer trick - coquettishness!
In the past, the crazy old man would occasionally take me to the countryside for a walk, I saw a novel thing, and I wanted it, but when the crazy old man didn't buy it, I would use the trick of coquettishness, and try everything!
Sure enough, the crazy old man still couldn't stand the power of this move, and said with a shudder: "I didn't plan to hide it from you, don't be coquettish, I'll get goosebumps when I am coquettish!" ”
"Hey, hey." I laughed, looked at the crazy old man, and waited for him to continue.
The crazy old man took another puff of cigarette and said, "You saved the lives of me and Zhu Qinshou, so I want to thank you." ”
Saved their lives? When? I looked at Master with a puzzled expression.
"Think about it, after you enter the village, do you feel that there is something in Lao Zhengtou's house, do you not feel uneasy? But as soon as we get closer, you feel uneasy, and that's where your sense comes into play, and it also tells us that there are no ghosts in the house at all! If we go in without preparation, we might all have to explain it! ”
"How are you sure it's not a ghost? What if the spirit feels that proximity can only work? I asked.
"There is no limit to distance. If it's a little ghost that makes you feel uneasy, you can feel it from the moment we enter the village. Master replied.
"It's not a ghost in that house, what is it?"
Saying this, the master took a heavy puff on his cigarette, his eyes full of worry and a hint of doubt. He slowly spoke, "It's an extremely vicious formation! The last time I went to visit Lao Zhengtou, I had a vague feeling that something was wrong with the topography of their village, but I didn't have time to investigate at that time. It wasn't until your spiritual sense warned that I thought of a possibility, so I went up the mountain and observed the feng shui veins of the entire village. ”
"Master, aren't you from the mountain lineage? How can there be anything that is in the same vein? ”
Through Master's short-term supplementation of me, I have firmly remembered what he said, and my mind is still very bright at this time.
"I've been following your master for a long time, and I'm still rough with some simple methods of other veins." Master replied.
"Oh." At this point, everything I wanted to know had been answered, and I was no longer interested.
The main thing is that today's repeated tossing and turning has consumed most of my energy and physical strength, and I feel like sleeping.
So I leaned on the master and slowly fell asleep.
