Chapter 116: Three Watches Asking for Life
I took the box handed by the blind man, and when I heard his words, my first reaction was not to curse, but to return the box. As a result, just when I stretched out my hand, Zhang Mengmeng also made a move, and it was missed.
Zhang Mengmeng was very vigilant, and knew that this old blind man was not simple, so he retreated as soon as possible.
The old blind man stepped back and turned his head sideways to listen to our movements, and felt that we did not catch up with him and did not threaten him, so he turned sideways and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the little one is just delivering things for people, and there is no other malice. The old blind man is just eating with a mouthful of food, and I hope a few people will not be surprised. ”
At this time, all the people in the town were looking at us, but listening to our conversation with the old blind man was a little strange, and they did not dare to step forward and express their opinions.
Xiaohong kissed me at this time and said, "Xiao Chu, I don't think he knows, more is better than less!" ”
I don't want to do much, but this thing in my hand, coupled with the old blind man's words, makes me panic.
The king of Hades told you to die on the third watch, and he will never let you pass the fifth watch.
This sentence is familiar to rural people, but it is not a common saying, nor is it an afterword, but the king of Hades points to whom, whose life is not up to him.
Usually it is used to say that someone died suddenly, but now it falls on my head, I hold the box, my hands are trembling a little, and I ask the old blind man in a low voice, who is the person who gave him the thing!
The blind man can't see clearly, but when God closes one door, he will open another door for you, and the old blind man's sense of hearing and smell is very sensitive, and he can recognize us as the person he is looking for by his senses just now, which is very unusual.
Now I asked, he didn't want to offend me, he wanted to take advantage of both ends to curry favor, and said with a dry smile: "Xiao Shangxian is embarrassing the old blind man, but that person has a strong smell of wine, the smell of wine is very special, and his description of Xiao Shangxian is very detailed, it should be someone you are familiar with." Listening to the accent, he is not very old, around twenty. ”
I frowned slightly when I heard this, I was in my twenties, I was a heavy drinker, and I was familiar with it, such a person......
When the old blind man saw that I didn't speak, he hurriedly said, "If the little fairy has nothing else to do, the old blind man will go to work and make a living?" ”
I glanced at him and mumbled. When the old blind man heard this, he saluted very respectfully and said, "Thank you for your appreciation!" ”
This old blind man is really blind and not blind, and he is also very cautious in doing things, seeing that we are not being investigated, he only bowed three times in one step, and communicated with several family members of the ruffians after going over.
I also took the box in my hand, thinking in my heart and walking towards the street, only two steps away, Zhang Mengmeng patted her thigh and said: "Grandma is a bear, isn't the person the old blind man said is summer?" That grandson, if it's really for money, the six relatives don't recognize it! ”
Zhang Mengmeng reminded us that we all agreed that in the summer, he met all the criteria. But Hades ordered this kind of thing, and he didn't have this ability in the summer, so it can be seen that he is also using money to do things.
And he didn't recognize any of our six relatives, not only was he forced to help by Xiaohong last time, but he was also beaten by Shangguan Qingqian, and he probably held his breath in his heart.
Everyone has their own way of life, and the summer lifestyle is to do things for people and then live on commissions.
I don't blame him!
I took the box and looked over and over again, the box had no gaps, it was completely sealed, but I could feel that it was empty in the middle in my hand, and I could feel something rolling inside.
I said, "Hades is this?" ”
Chen Ou said blankly: "We don't know about this kind of thing, but we've heard of it, I'm afraid that the people who know what is going on are already dead." ”
Zhang Mengmeng said: "If it was really someone from below who came up, naturally he would not entrust Xia to do this, could it be that Second Uncle Lin didn't dredge up a good relationship below, and the Gongsun family caught up with Lord Zhong?" ”
Zhang Mengmeng didn't remind me, I also thought of this possibility, and helplessly helped my head and said: "My second uncle, when can I really rely on it, don't always be so unreliable!" ”
As I spoke, I raised the box in my hand and was about to smash him open on the ground, but the little red hand was quick and took him directly in mid-air, took it in his hand and said, "This is the Luban lock!" As she spoke, she pressed her fingers on it a few times, and the box immediately became bulges and dents, and after a few seconds, the box was completely dismantled, and a small clay figure fell out of it.
Chen Ou was very interested in everything, so he picked it up in his hand first, looked at it and said with a smile: "I guess what kind of person is prank, what age is it, and I still come to tie the villain, there is no innovation!" ”
I took a look, Chen Ou was indeed a small clay figure in his hand, the appearance was the same as mine, and the carved clothes were also painted, lifelike, and a miniature version of me.
However, this kind of thing is really outdated. This kind of method that only has deep palace resentment women, and is commonly used by rural shrews, appears on Taoist priests, which is very confusing, and it seems that it is really a prank for me in the summer.
However, before our laughter fell, Xiaohong said with a sad face: "This is not an ordinary clay figure. Xiao Hong said, stretched out his hand and gently scraped the clay figure, after the outer skin was scraped off, the inside was a red and black material, and a terrifying yin qi was released at once, and Chen Ou's arm, starting from his fingertips, was instantly covered with frost.
Chen Ou reacted very quickly, threw away the little clay figure as soon as possible, quickly took out a purple talisman, lit it and wiped it down his arm with the talisman fire, the frost was removed, rolled up his sleeves, and his whole arm became blood-red, steaming hot, if he was slow for a second or two, Chen Ou's hand would become a popsicle, and his blood would be bad, and he would be crippled directly.
Throwing off the ice cubes, Chen Ou exhaled in fear, took two steps back, Xiaohong looked at the little clay figure on the ground that kept releasing yin qi, and frowned slightly: "This is indeed from the yin soil below, and there are also Xiao Chu's birth dates in it." ”
As soon as I heard this, my hair stood on end, and I stammered: "The day after tomorrow happens to be my fifteenth birthday, and they will definitely do it on that day!" ”
"It should be!" Little Red let out a long breath. At this time, the clay figures on the ground are still releasing yin qi, for a while the cold wind around is swishing, and the cement streets are frozen, if not treated, the yin qi it emits is enough to affect the entire town, and when the time comes, it will attract some evil spirits, and many people will suffer.
When I was about to ask Xiaohong what to do, she bent down and picked up the little clay figurine, the thing that almost killed Chen Ou just now, at this time it was like dough in his hand, pinched it hard, and turned into powder directly in her hand, and when it fell from between her fingers, the yin qi had already disappeared.
"I'll be obedient, my brother and sister are mighty!" Zhang Mengmeng immediately patted her ass, making Xiaohong a little embarrassed, her face flushed slightly, and said: "There are very few yin soils, I can just use Dao Qi to refine them, if I really get down there, all over the yin soil, I don't have that much ability!" ”
Zhang Mengmeng and Chen Ou are both people who can fear sycophants to the bones, and hurriedly said when they heard this: "No matter what, with the hands of my brother and sister, I'm afraid that looking at the entire Daomen, there are only a handful of people who can do it." ”
Xiaohong was a little unaccustomed to combing the broken hair on her forehead, and changed the topic and asked Chen Oudao: "It's been more than two hours, your classmates should have arrived too, right?" ”
Chen Ougang escaped from the tiger's mouth, a little afraid, and he didn't have time to hide his mouth, so he asked more seriously: "It should be here, let's go over first, and then talk about it when we get to the county seat!" ”
Seeing the worry on my face, Xiaohong gently patted me on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, I'm here, I won't let you have anything to do!" ”
I was very confused when I was threatened with death, but Xiaohong's words seemed to have magical powers, and I calmed down after listening to it, and responded with a relaxed "um" breath.
When we arrived at the gas station, Chen Ou's classmates happened to drive a small car from the direction of the county, and the car entered the gas station to refuel, we only went over at this time, and saw a big bald head from the driver's seat, with a big waist and a round waist, a big gold chain around his neck, thirty beep machines hanging around his waist, a briefcase in his left hand, and a big brother in his right hand.
This shape makes me think that it is not the person we are waiting for, after all, no matter how you look at it, you are not a good person.
When I was about to ask Chen Ou if he recognized the wrong person, Chen Ou had already trotted over and hugged the big bald head, Chen Ou slapped the big bald head on the back and said, "You kid, you want to kill me." ”
The courtesy is still exchanged, and the big bald head also patted Chen Ou's back hard, and the strength felt that it could shoot people's hearts out of their hearts, and they also said: "You kid, you want to kill me." ”
When I see people dressed as bad guys, I feel inexplicably nervous. I didn't dare to go up to say hello for a while.
After the greetings of the two "beating each other", Chen Oucai came over with a big bald head to introduce us.
After listening to the introduction, I couldn't believe my ears, this big bald head turned out to be a disciple of the Maoshan faction, but his family background was not good, and his parents were perennial medicine jars. After graduating from high school, he chose to drop out of school and step into the society, but found a business opportunity, with a little Maoshan technique in his hand, specializing in reselling the murderous house, after having an economic foundation, he looked at those fierce places that no one dared to develop, and within a few years, this is only in his early twenties, and he has become a well-known real estate predator.
After listening to it, I was also full of emotion in my heart, it seems that in this era, Taoism is not useless, as long as you know how to be flexible, the zombies are gone, and you can also use it to do something else.
However, the young people think so, the older generation don't think so, the elders of Maoshan strongly objected, thinking that the big bald head had lost Maoshan's face, so he was expelled from the division, and now only Chen Ou, who was a classmate of the same family, still has dealings with him, and the relationship between the two is also good.
After hearing the experience of the big bald head, I was not afraid in my heart. When I got into the car, Chen Ou patted the roof of the car and asked me, "Do you know how much this car costs?" ”
I shook my head, in the countryside, the tractor is the main means of transportation, and occasionally you can see a big truck, which is a rarity. There is such a thing as a car, which has only been seen once or twice occasionally in the town, where to know the price.
Chen Ou looked at me and said: "Don't touch me, more than two million, imported goods, there are not many cars in the entire Mingkun, if you kid is enlightened, sooner or later there will be one!" ”
When I heard the number of two million, my eyes almost popped out. However, after listening to Chen Ou's hint, I gave him a blank look, got into the car, sat in the middle, and let Zhang Mengmeng sit next to him, and then pulled Xiaohong into the car.
The Lingbi stone can give me wealth, but that thing is extremely precious, and the coffin, I guess Xiaohong used it to continue his life, so naturally he can't take it out and sell it.
And I don't take wealth that seriously. Got into the car, Chen Ou in front of the big bald head to catch up, I listened for a while and was sleepy, Xiaohong put her arm around my shoulder, helped me lean on her lap, smelled the faint fragrance, fell asleep unconsciously, and when I woke up, we had arrived at the county seat.
Compared with the small town, the county is a lot more prosperous, the lights are bright, and the big bald head sent us to the hotel and left.
Then Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng went to withdraw the money, I took a shower, changed clothes, and they just came back.
Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng were also interesting enough, and one of them gave me 100,000 yuan. In a big city, it costs money to go to the toilet and a bottle of water, Xiaohong doesn't seem to be a person of this era, although she can adapt to the lights of this era, but she doesn't have much money.
I didn't refuse, and took all their money and handed it over to Xiaohong for safekeeping.
The next day, all the students in the town arrived at the county seat, and after I got in touch with the head teacher, I went to gather, and I did a physical examination on the same day, and completed all the procedures required for the exam.
Because she was ordered by the king of Hades, Xiaohong was not at ease and accompanied her throughout the whole process.
The qualified students in the class are also accompanied by their families, which is not a rare thing, but Xiaohong is so beautiful that it causes a sensation everywhere, especially Teacher Yang, who buys water and sends snacks, although they are all rejected by Xiaohong, but it still makes me angry, and I can't wait to stand up and tell everyone that Xiaohong is actually my wife.
It's just that if you say this, it is estimated that no one will believe it.
After the day's work was done, when I went back, Xiaohong asked me: "Xiao Chu, don't you consider using Chen Ou's method?" ”
"Don't think about it, I want to be on my own!" I didn't study well before, but I wasn't the kind of old tail, as long as I was serious, my grades would go up, and now my memory and thinking are better than before, take a serious look at the book tonight, I shouldn't be too bad in the exam, even if I can't get into a key high school, at least I gave my mother a reply with my own efforts.
Even if the answer isn't so perfect, at least I'll have a clear conscience.
When I returned to the hotel, I didn't go to eat, Xiaohong accompanied me in the house to read, Chen Ou and they brought me some after eating, and simply filled my stomach and continued to read.
For a whole night, I went through all the books of the third year of junior high school, and Chen Ou and they also pointed out to me where they couldn't.
The next morning, my mind was full of formulas, ancient poems, and I could recall the whole book when I closed my eyes.
I still didn't sleep during the day, so I took half a small red pill and continued to read English.
After all, English is a foreign thing, and no matter how good it is to learn, the memory is messy, especially the grammar and listening, which are not very effective at night.
In addition to reading and writing in English, these require comprehension, and memorization is completely useless.
I was also a little disappointed for a while, so if I want to be admitted to a key high school, it is indeed a bit difficult.
What others have worked so hard to learn for nine years, no matter how good my memory is, it is impossible to reach the sky in one step.
Seeing that I was sad, Xiaohong kept comforting me and told me to do my best.
That night, I took another half pill and continued to study. Xiaohong escorted me into the exam room early the next morning, and nothing happened during the whole exam process.
I think even if someone wants to be unfavorable to me, they won't choose to do it in the examination room, after all, there are children from several towns and villages, and if something really happens, no sect can escape this responsibility, and they can't afford to bear this responsibility.
Xuanmen, although in a sense higher than the world we know, but in history, when the national disaster was at the head, there was always a figure of Xuanmen among the people who rushed to the front.
Therefore, whether it is the Xuan World or the world of ordinary people, we all belong to the people of a land, and when we do things, we will not be reckless.
After finishing the math exam in the morning, I felt pretty good, after all, most of the knowledge points are formulaic things, and in the afternoon, I didn't feel very good about Chinese, and the problem was also in the reading and composition that I had been worried about.
The next day, my English was also not very ideal, so I didn't even go to the right questions and left the school directly. Walking out the door and seeing Xiaohong, I let out a long breath.
No matter what the grades are, I can be regarded as having completed a more important part of my life, and I have an explanation for myself and my mother.
And next, what I have to face is the king of Hades, if this doesn't happen, Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng are going to celebrate my birthday, but now, we have already left the room and found an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city, and the four of us are waiting for it.
As soon as the sun set and the sky was dark, Chen Ou lit candles around us, which were filled with green incense.
Candles can be used to measure yin, in ancient times, there was a tomb robber sect touching the gold school captain, after entering the tomb will light a candle in the southeast corner, the effect is the same as the candle lit by Chen Ou now, because the fireworks in the yang world are the most sensitive to yin, the most responsive thing, even my compass can not compare.
As for the green incense, it is used to worship the yin spirit, which is different from the incense offered in the temple shrine. This can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill, if it is really the people below who come and smoke incense, they will give some face, not to mention letting me go, at least they will not do it as soon as they come up.
However, the incense and candles have changed a few times, and it is already night, and there is still no movement.
Chen Ou wondered: "Could it be that you really want to come to the third watch?" Don't give a little room to maneuver? ”
As a party concerned, I don't want to say a word now, holding the Louguan sword in my hand, holding a compass in one hand, and a purple talisman hidden in my sleeve, no matter what kind of cow ghost snake god, if you want my life tonight, you have to show some ability.
As soon as the third watch arrived, the candle flame suddenly swayed without wind, and after the flame flickered, it suddenly turned green, followed by a circle of incense lit by Zhang Mengmeng, all of which were disconnected from the middle.
Xiaohong looked at it and scolded in a deep voice: "Toast and don't eat and drink, whoever comes, report your name." ”
