Chapter 166: Strange in the Village
In the evening, I had dinner at the shop and headed for the entrance of the village.
At the entrance of the village, an altar was erected, and on it stood two young men wearing Taoist robes, holding dust, and holding their hair in a bun, which at first glance seemed to be really the same thing.
Around the altar, there were already a lot of people inside and out.
Liu Ruoxue and I stood in the outermost circle, watching the two young men inside wielding a peachwood sword over there.
One of them picked up a paper figure made of straw, and there was a yellow charm attached to it, and my eyesight was so good that even from such a distance, I could see what was drawn on it.
But I looked at this yellow charm for a long time, and I didn't understand what it was.
"Heaven and earth are endless, Taishang Laojun is as anxious as the law, today the disciples are passing by Baofeng Village, this village is demonic, there will be demons to do it, please Taishang Laojun for guidance!"
As soon as the words fell, the scarecrow stood up directly.
All the surrounding villagers let out a scream.
"Sure enough, there is a demon!" The Taoist priest said with a serious face, his face full of righteousness, and he continued to wave the peach wood sword in his hand.
"Please instruct!"
After saying that, he picked up the wine on the table and swallowed it in his mouth, and then spit it out all the scarecrows.
Looking at their nondescript sacrifices like singing big operas, I almost laughed.
But soon, in the next scene, I couldn't laugh anymore.
The scarecrow suddenly began to catch fire, and after a while, the fire slowly subsided, and the yellow paper attached to the scarecrow's body actually changed, from the original ghost drawing symbol, to a line of regular words.
My eyesight is good, and I can clearly see what is written on it: "The thirteen witches of Baofeng Village are evil, and if you kill them, you will be safe." ”
I was suddenly shocked.
Then, I heard the Taoist priest standing above shouting loudly: "Taishang Laojun has already given us the answer!" The thirteen witches of Baofeng Village are evil, kill them, and they will be safe! This Wizard Thirteen is a dark wizard! ”
As soon as these words came out, the villagers below began to stir again, and everyone's eyes looked at me and Liu Ruoxue.
There was disbelief in their eyes, a hint of suspicion, horror, in short, there really was everything.
"How is it possible, could it be a mistake, Wu Thirteen is the junior brother of the Ninth Master, and he has done a lot of things for our village, how can he be a dark wizard."
Someone spoke for me, and I found out it was propyl.
Bingzi spoke, and the people around him began to echo him.
My heart warmed and I looked at the people around me gratefully.
"So everyone doesn't want to believe us, our senior brothers and sisters are coming down from Zhongnan Mountain, and they have no grievances with this Wu Thirteen, why should they wronged him, let's think about it, is it that since Wu Thirteen was born, a lot of things have happened in the village?"
All the people around suddenly fell silent.
"Yes, don't you see that there were a lot of bats in the village at the beginning, and they still have human faces."
"I'll just say that this person has been abnormal since he was a child, he killed his parents at birth, and we have rejected him before, and it is not impossible for him to take revenge on us with a grudge."
Some people should be reconciled, but there are also many people who I helped me at the beginning who defended me, saying that I was good and why should I harm everyone, and in an instant, public opinion was divided into two teams.
At this time, the Taoist priest on the stage spoke again: "After all, we are not people in the village, and it is normal for everyone not to believe us, but if Wu Thirteen is there for a day, the village will not be peaceful, if you don't believe it, just watch it, the animals in the village will slowly die, and then everyone will start to get sick, and finally die, and at that time, I can't help everyone." ”
The villagers were talking a lot, and the eyes that looked at me were getting complicated.
After the two Taoist priests finished speaking, as soon as they turned around, they disappeared from the stage.
At this moment, the villagers were boiling again, and I have to say that their success made the villagers who had originally maintained a half-believing attitude instantly fall to them.
I sneered, they can hide it from everyone, but they can't hide it from me, my yin and yang eyes can see clearly, among the flesh of these two people, there are two red foxes.
It seems that Hu Xin'er and Li Cripple are playing with me.
Although these villagers didn't say anything in front of me, I could clearly see that their expressions were full of fear, doubt, and a series of negative emotions when they looked at me.
I'm a little angry, but I don't know who I'm angry with, I have dealt with so many things, and I understand the nature of human beings more or less, no matter how many good things you do, as long as you do a bad thing, then you are a bad person.
Liu Ruoxue was by my side, holding my hand, and didn't speak, but I knew that she was comforting me silently, and I could only return the favor with a smile, indicating that I was fine.
After I went back, I had a nightmare that the villagers tied me up and said that they wanted to burn me to death, that I was a scourge in the village, and that even those I had helped looked at me with disgusted eyes, saying that I was a scourge, that I had killed my parents, and that they were now harming the people in the village.
They tied me to a tree, and there was firewood under my feet, and the villagers looked at me with hideous expressions, and no matter how I explained it, they were unmoved, and finally, with torches, threw them at me.
I screamed, opened my eyes abruptly, and straightened up.
Looking at the room I was familiar with, I exhaled silently and wiped the sweat on my head, it turned out to be just a dream, it scared me to death.
I looked at the current time, half past six.
Recently, the fog has been too big, and I haven't gone to the mountain to meditate, first, I'm afraid of meeting the snake, and second, the fog is too big, and I'm afraid of going up the mountain.
After packing up my things, I went out, and I smelled the sweet smell, Liu Ruoxue brought the porridge, as always, looking at me with a gentle smile on her face: "Wake up, hurry up and have breakfast." ”
In this world, the only warmth is here, no matter what happens, no matter whether I have the ability or not, Liu Ruoxue will be by my side and never give up.
I ate two mouthfuls of porridge and got up: "I'll go to Lao Dongtou's side first." ”
Liu Ruoxue stood up and wanted to go with me, but I hurriedly stopped: "You haven't been in good health in the past few days, I'll just go by myself, you stay in the store obediently." ”
After finishing speaking, I carried my bag and walked towards Lao Dongtou's house.
Lao Dong Tou and his family were also eating when they saw me walk in, the family was startled, Lao Dong Tou looked at me, and asked a little stammering: "Thirteen, why are you here?" ”
"I haven't found out who made your chickens and ducks."
"No need." Lao Dong Tou hurriedly shook his head, "It's okay, the chickens and ducks can be raised again after they die, you don't need them." ”
I was stunned for a moment, but looking at the frightened faces of their family, I immediately understood, and a wry smile appeared on my face: "Old Dongtou, we are all from the same village, and I am also considered to have grown up with you since childhood, you also understand what kind of person I am, do you really believe the words of those two Taoist priests?" ”
Old Dong Tou showed an embarrassed expression on his face: "Thirteen, we are just ordinary people, we don't have much ability, we just hope to be able to live plainly, don't blame us." ”
I understood what they meant, suspecting that once it takes root, it will not be so easy to pull it out.
took out a demon suppression talisman from his pocket and handed it to him: "You put this talisman at the door of your house, at least you can protect the safety of your home." ”
Lao Dong looked at the talisman in my hand, a little hesitant, but finally took it with a gritting tooth, as if this was something that would bite people.
I turned around and just took a step when I saw the two Taoist priests from yesterday walking in.
I had a surprised look on my face when I bumped into each other, then frowned in disgust and quickened my pace to leave.
But as soon as I was halfway there, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to tell Lao Dong Tou that this evil charm should not touch the water, and turned around and walked to the door of their house, only to find that Lao Dong Tou was warmly greeting the two Taoist priests, and my talisman was thrown at the door.
My heart thumped, my nose was slightly sore, and I squatted down and slowly picked up the rune paper.
I suddenly felt a little ironic, yesterday, the old Dong Tou also received me so warmly, time has passed, just two words from those outsiders, I have become a street rat.
People are like this, when you are useful, you are the emperor Lao Tzu, and when you are useless, then everyone is the most ordinary stranger, when others are saying bad things, this person is polite if he doesn't step on you.
I turned to leave, and the fog outside was getting bigger and bigger, and the fog seemed to envelop my heart.
Back in the store, I sorted out my mood, showed the same smile as before, and walked into the store, I didn't want Liu Ruoxue to see my sad side.
If I'm upset, she'll be with me upset.
She was sitting on a chair to help me fold the ingots, and when she saw me coming, a faint smile appeared on her face: "Why did you come back so soon?" ”
"Lao Dong said that the chickens and ducks could be raised again after they died, so let me come back." I deliberately said the feeling of light and breeze, but I was as sensitive as willow snow, and soon heard the unnaturalness in my tone.
The movement in her hand paused slightly, pursed her lips, but quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Then forget it, anyway, our family San Lang is also busy, and he is too lazy to take care of their family's affairs." ”
I smiled and nodded, this is the tacit understanding, everything is in plain sight.
There weren't any customers in the store today, and the occasional person passing by was in a hurry, and I knew what they were afraid of, and I didn't say much.
In the afternoon, when there were no guests, I went to Li Kebin's house, found that this kid was not at home, and went to Ma Xiaoting's house again, and it was the same.
I took out my phone and just wanted to make a call, only to remember that there was no signal.
I suddenly felt as if the whole village was isolated from the world, and I wanted to get out, but there were water ghosts at the entrance of the village.
So how did these two Taoist priests get in safely?
If it's not a conspiracy, I don't believe it.
