Chapter 37: The Crow's Substitute
I saw that inside the coffin of Li Cripple, there was a big black crow with a yellow charm on its body, but his body was missing.
The crow was sealed in the coffin, but it was still alive, and its eyes rolled.
But it was as if it was pinned in by something, and although its wings and feet were not tied, its body could not move.
Seeing this, I said suspiciously: "Ninth Master, it's strange! My Uncle Li's body is indeed not inside. But why is there a crow with a yellow charm in the coffin? ”
The Ninth Master glanced at the inside of the coffin, and said indifferently: "The crow is in place!" There is really a big problem with this cripple Li. ”
With that, he reached into the coffin and grabbed the black crow. Then he raised his hand and poked it into one of the raven's eyes, and said to himself:
"The Ninth Master will abolish your eye tonight, and if you want to take revenge, I will wait for you in the Wu Thirteen Family!"
The words of the ninth master, and his sharp action of poking the blind crow, made me can't help but mutter.
"Ninth Master, are these strange things in the village all caused by Li Cripple?"
The Ninth Master said coldly: "Is it him, we will see you soon, and let him tell you in person when the time comes." ”
My heart tightened, let him tell me personally? So the Ninth Master has concluded in disguise that everything that happened in the village was done by Li Cripple.
The blind crow was handed to me by him. I thought about putting the crow back in the coffin and restoring the cripple's grave to its original state.
The Ninth Master suddenly shouted: "Hey, you take this crow first, if you throw this thing into the coffin and bury it, it will be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain." ”
I hurriedly took the crow out and closed the coffin again.
After rebuilding the grave of the lame man, I picked up the crow and followed the ninth master to the house.
On the way back, we have to go through a long forest road. I had a vague sense that something was staring at us in the woods on both sides of the road.
The Ninth Master approached me and whispered, "Don't be afraid! You don't have to ask anything, just don't know that they're watching you, and go your way. ”
From this point of view, the Ninth Master has also discovered the abnormality in this forest, but he looks calm and calm, and he doesn't take this matter to heart.
When I got home, I asked him what the situation was in the woods just now, and why it was so weird and gloomy.
The Ninth Master looked at you and said, "Those who are staring at you are all mountain and wild animals. I also think it's strange that the king of the mountains within a radius of dozens of miles in Baofeng Temple Village is missing, and with the ability of the old woman, he shouldn't be unable to control these animals in the mountains. ”
As soon as he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Liu Ruoxue with embarrassment.
I noticed that there was anger on Liu Ruoxue's face, but she didn't have an immediate seizure.
Liu Ruoxue just sneered and said meaningfully: "If it weren't for the help of some livestock in the mountains back then, do you think your master and apprentice could really help those three old men live here?" ”
Jiu Ye seemed to be swallowed by Liu Ruoxue's words, his face changed, and he said after a while: "Hey! For the kindness of that year, aren't I also helping the one in the mountains now? ”
Liu Ruoxue said: "Heh! The one in the mountain who was helped by you very well, but now when I enter Baofeng Temple Village, I don't know where to go! ”
Jiu Ye was stunned by her words for a few seconds before he said, "Sooner or later, I will find him!" ”
What they said made me very confused, I approached Liu Ruoxue, and asked with a smile on my face: "Xiaoxue, what has happened in Baofeng Temple, it's been so long, you can tell me about it." ”
Liu Ruoxue's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Thirteen, I can't tell you about this matter for the time being, the time is not yet ripe." ”
She said this again, which made me a little speechless for an instant. Always half-talking, whet people's appetite.
The so-called ripe time in her and Jiuye's mouths is what the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
Shortly after she finished speaking, there was a sudden "Wow......... Wow........." and something started hitting my house.
A smile flashed on the Ninth Master's face and said, "Heh! He came pretty fast! ”
I turned on the lights outside the house, looked out the window, and saw a lot of crows banging around my house.
It occurred to me that there was a crow crash in my house not long ago, and tonight is a little similar to that time.
And in the courtyard dam, there are many crows gathered together, surrounding a shape as tall as an adult.
"Thirteen, the person you keep calling Uncle Li is here now."
After the ninth master said this, he got up and went out. I wanted to go out with me, but he told me to stay in the house with Liu Ruoxue and not go outside.
I turned off the lights in the house so I could see the outside scene better.
The crows that were surrounding something slowly and quickly dispersed from top to bottom. When the crows were gone, I found a man standing in the courtyard.
When I saw the man's face, my heart pounded.
Isn't that person the dead cripple Li, how could he appear in such an evil way.
Just looking at the appearance, Li Cripple is not much different from before, but he has an eye injury.
I don't know if Li is a cripple in the courtyard, whether he is a human or a ghost.
The Ninth Master sneered: "You are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
The corners of Li's mouth twitched, and he said with some disdain: "Ninth Master, don't come to your old man's house!" ”
His words made me stunned, the ninth master looked at least twenty years younger than Li Cripple, Li Cripple was a person in his sixties, and he was actually called the ninth master.
The Ninth Master said sharply: "Hmph, you little old man is not bad, you can even reach such a creation when you leave the teacher halfway." ”
Li Cripple looked calm and calm, and said, "Where is it, now, I may only be slightly better than the Ninth Master." ”
I didn't expect that Li Cripple would be so confident and even a little arrogant when he spoke tonight.
I deeply remember that half a month ago, my house was changed into a yin house cemetery, and Li Cripple was ready to come to help my family change it.
That day, when Li Cripple met the Ninth Master at the mouth of the courtyard, his look of awe for the Ninth Master was all seen by me.
In the past half a month, what has he experienced to dare to go toe-for-tat with Jiu Ye?
I ignored what the ninth master said to let me stay in the house, and prepared to go straight to the Yangkan.
Liu Ruoxue flashed in front of me and stretched out her hand to block me.
"Thirteen, I can feel a thick murderous aura on Li Cripple's body, it will be dangerous for you to go out now."
I calmed down and said to her:
"Xiaoxue, the best people who have treated me since I was a child, one is my grandfather, and the other is Uncle Li. I'm curious to know what happened to him that made him the way he is,"
Liu Ruoxue was silent for a moment, and then said in a serious tone: "Thirteen, I know that you value love and righteousness......"
She paused, then said, "Hey...... All right! I'll go out with you! ”
I said yes and quickly opened the door.
When the ninth master saw me go out, his face changed greatly, and he said: "Wu Thirteen, didn't you let you stay in the house well, what are you doing when you come out, don't you want to live!" ”
"Ninth Master, I want to talk to Uncle Li."
Afterwards, I quickly looked at Li Cripple, and said to him in an indescribable mood: "Uncle Li, I am very happy to see that you are still alive. ”
When Li lame heard what I said, his body suddenly twisted very strangely, and let out a few low roars.
He seemed to be fighting against something, and after a long time, he spoke slowly: "Thirteen ......"
Although his appearance tonight was a little strange and abnormal, I still asked with concern:
"Uncle Li, what's wrong with you, everyone thinks you're dead. Since you're alive, why don't you come back sooner, you won't show up until tonight. ”
I hope to use my way to understand the cripple in front of me.
He was silent again.
"Thirteen, I hope you can forgive Uncle Li!"
I said, "Your uncle, you have been so good to me since I was a child, and you are still trying to save my life when someone harmed me a few days ago......."
The Ninth Master interrupted: "Wu Thirteen, isn't he the one who secretly harmed you?" Don't let him fool you! ”
When Li Cripple saw such a scene, and he appeared so strangely tonight, I actually guessed that he was harming me.
But I want to deliberately play the emotional card with him, first, I want to confirm my guess in person; The second is that I suspect that my grandfather's soul was also taken away by him, and I want to ask him about my grandfather.
I didn't reply directly to the ninth master's words, but looked at Li Cripple and said word by word: "I believe that Uncle Li will not harm me!" ”
Li Cripple's body twisted several times again, and said, "Thirteen, he is right, the person who harmed you is indeed me!" ”
I pretended to be casual and replied: "Uncle Li, you really want to harm me, then I have been growing up, you have a chance, why wait for more than 20 years!" ”
Li lame said: "That's because on the one hand, Liu Ruoxue is secretly protecting you; On the other hand, the best time is to ask for your life when you are twenty-one. ”
His words puzzled me, and I didn't understand why he waited until I was twenty-one to hurt me.
"A few days ago, why did you secretly harm me, but at the same time help me out of the siege."
Li Lame looked at Liu Ruoxue beside me and said:
"It was a miscalculation. I thought that after digging the arrow barrier and taking away the five lights, the thing she suppressed would entangle her, but I still didn't dare to fight Liu Ruoxue directly! ”
After saying this, he faced the Ninth Master again.
"Liu Ruoxue appeared directly beside you, so I don't know what to do for a while, I can only use this to confuse you! But unexpectedly, he was also involved. ”
Li lame told me this, but still didn't say a key point that I was most concerned about:
Why did he want my life?
"Uncle Li, it's all here, can you tell me directly, what do you want to do with my life?"
Liu Ruoxue and Jiu Ye, who were standing beside me, should have seen my purpose, and they didn't say a word during this period.
The lights outside the house were not particularly bright, and I couldn't see the expression of the cripple Li.
However, my question made him stand still for a long time without responding.
After being silent for a long time, Li Cripple said slowly:
"I'm for one person!"
I couldn't help but be stunned.
He did so many bad things, and it was just for one person?
