Chapter 11: The Old Man Who Lives Alone Halfway Up the Mountain

The words of the old man came to the ears of the three of us very clearly, and the second egg and I stopped stepping out, looked at the old man with a strange expression on our faces, and then looked at each other.

The old man said that the dead should not follow up, which clearly refers to me and the second egg.

Erdan and I are both big living people, this old man is old and dizzy or crazy, and he actually said that the two big living people are dead.

Li Fugui's expression was also ugly, he looked at the old man and explained: "Second uncle, are you mistaken, they are both my friends, how can they be dead people." ”

The old man didn't look back, and replied casually: "It's been fifteen years old, how can you still be alive, although the old man is old and dizzy, but these things are indeed infallible." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he was about to go to the house, Li Fugui hurriedly ran to the old man, knelt on the ground, and slammed it to the ground.

Suddenly, the sound of blood flowing and skulls hitting the ground was very uncomfortable in the hearts of me and Erdan.

I don't know why this old man said that I and Erdan are dead people, and I don't know if he is really a strange person, but Li Fugui knelt down and kowtowed to the old man for us, and I was very angry.

Just when I was about to step through the door and help Li Fugui up, he spoke up.

"Niu Lao, the two of them ate what Granny Ji gave, and now only you can save them!"

When the old man heard Li Fugui's words, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he stared at Li Fugui a few times with his two pairs of old eyes, and saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he turned back to me and Erdan, and said coldly: "Come in." ”

Li Fugui heard that the old man agreed, and hurriedly knocked on the ground a few more times, and then waved me and Erdan into the house quickly.

When he arrived at the old man's house, he sat alone in a rocking chair, smoking a dry cigarette in his mouth, and he didn't make the slightest move when he saw the three of us coming in.

Li Fugui had no choice but to beckon us to sit down on the wooden bench first, and then waited without saying a word.

When the old man finished smoking the second pot of cigarettes, he finally said in a somewhat dry voice: "Since it is Ji Xiaomei's handwriting, it is not strange, no wonder I can't see through this kid, let's talk about it, what's going on?" ”

Li Fugui saw that the two of us didn't mean to speak, so he said a little apologetically: "Old Niu, here's the thing, something has been drilled into this young man's body.

I persuaded him not to be foolish, no one could live if he was hit by that thing, but he just didn't listen, so he had to go to those people's houses to inquire, but no one told him, but he didn't give up, went to Granny Ji's house, and then ate the two persimmon cakes she gave. ”

After listening to Li Fugui's words, the old man suddenly stood up violently, threw the cigarette pot in his hand to the ground, and shouted: "You guys are messing around!" ”

His chest was heaving, and he was visibly angry.

After a minute, he sat back in his rocking chair and pointed to the door, "Get out, I can't cure you." ”

As soon as Li Fugui heard the old man's words, he panicked at that time, and hurriedly knelt on the ground again and was about to kowtow to the old man.

Some complained to Li Fugui and said: "Uncle Li, what are you doing, I think this person is just playing tricks, I know my body best, let's go." ”

After listening to my words, the old man was not angry, but laughed strangely, "Ignorant junior, after eating Ji Xiaomei's things, no one can survive one night, not to mention that you still eat the corpse meat, hurry up, don't die at my door, bad luck." ”

Hearing the old man's words, Erdan and I both looked at each other in surprise.

This old man said that it was corpse meat, and the persimmon cake that Granny Ji gave us was corpse meat?

Looking back now, the texture and taste of the persimmon cake are indeed weird, the old man and we are not related, there is no reason to lie to me and Erdan, could it be that what he said is true?

As soon as we thought that the persimmon cake we ate in the afternoon was corpse meat, Erdan and I began to vomit.

Li Fugui saw that the two of us vomited so much that they couldn't straighten their waists, and begged the old man with some anxiety: "Old Niu, go and beg you, you are saving their lives......"

Before Li Fugui finished speaking, the old man directly interrupted: "You also know that Ji Xiaomei, don't stay here, hurry up and lead them away, there is still some time, go dig a pit and bury it, otherwise I will have to deal with it later." ”

The old man went to the deep house, Li Fugui was stunned, he lowered his head, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly, he turned around and walked into the deep room.

Li Fugui had been in for more than 20 minutes, and Erdan and I were waiting outside, not knowing what he would say to the old man.

After waiting for about five minutes, Li Fugui had a happy look on his face, and when we saw him come out, we prepared to leave here.

But he stopped us, "Erdan, come over quickly, Niu Lao said that he could help you take a look." ”

I don't like this old man very much, and even if I really don't have a long life, I will never beg him.

Erdan also snorted angrily, and planned to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Li Fugui.

His eyes were a little uneasy, and it was more about the kind of love for his juniors, "Er Fat is gone, and you have become like this because of Er Fat's matter, even if I beg you, go and let Niu Lao see if you can solve it, we are looking for another way." ”

Erdan and I were stared at like this by Li Fugui, and our hearts suddenly had mixed feelings, although we were adults, we were only a few years older than Erfat.

Perhaps, Li Fugui sees us as his sons.

Erdan and I didn't say anything, and walked back to the old man's house behind Li Fugui.

The old man was still sitting in the rocking chair and smoking a dry cigarette, and when he saw us coming back, he motioned for me and Erdan to come to the stool beside him.

He put the pot down and stared at my face for a long time, then pulled my hand over and took the pulse for a while, but he didn't say anything in the process, and when he finished reading me, he looked at the second egg again with the same steps.

When we had both finished reading, the old man went back into the house, and after more than ten minutes he came out again, and when he came out, he already had a few more things in his hand, a turtle shell and four copper coins.

I saw him return to me and Erdan, and asked Li Fugui to bring a long table, and then he spread a yellowed white cloth on the table, which was densely painted with things.

When the things were ready, the old man put the four copper coins in the turtle shell, held them high, and bowed to a portrait behind him.

The portrait seems to be very old, there are many broken places, and many of the patterns on the painting are blurred, but I can still tell that the person in the painting is a man in blue linen with a compass.

After the worship, the old man closed his eyes, then held the turtle shell five inches above the table and began to shake it up and down, chanting incessantly.

I couldn't hear what he was reading, but I could see that in the space of ten seconds or so, the old man's forehead was covered with sweat, and his body began to tremble slightly.

The old man continued like this for a minute or so, and then slammed the turtle shell on the table,

He didn't care about wiping the sweat from his forehead, so he asked Erdan and me to go and pour out the copper coins in the turtle shell casually.

I glanced at Erdan, and I walked to the table, picked up the turtle shell, and poured it on the table.

Three copper coins fell from the turtle shell and spun around a few times before falling onto the table.

When I saw that only three had come out, I shook the shell again, trying to shake the remaining one.

However, no matter how much I shook it, the copper coin was stuck in the turtle shell.

When the old man saw this, he asked me to stop, and he carefully examined a few copper coins.

He raised his old eyes and looked at me squarely, and I could see in his eyes a feeling of relief.

Then, with tears streaming down his old eyes, he didn't say anything, turned to the portrait and knelt down heavily, and then began to kowtow.

By the time the old man got up, blood was already pouring from his wrinkled forehead.

He walked up to me, smiled at me, looked at me like a junior, and patted me on the shoulder.

The old man withdrew his hand, and the expression on his face suddenly changed, from the kindness just now to extremely angry.

I only heard him scold angrily: "Okay, you little sister Ji, you actually dare to touch the people of our family, I have long seen that you are not pleasing to the eye, this time I will let you know that we are not easy to mess with!" ”

I heard the old man's words in a fog, what does it mean to dare to touch my family, could it be that this old man is also surnamed Fang?

But just now, this old man was still ignoring me and Erdan, why did he suddenly have such a big change, the meaning of his words is obvious, that is, because Granny Ji is not good for me, so he wants to avenge me and Granny Ji.

However, I still couldn't accept it for a while, and my mind was now a mess.

I've been confused by this series of things that I shouldn't believe anyone, although Granny Ji didn't say anything to make me believe her words, but I can feel that the kind of care she reveals from her eyebrows can't be faked.

I don't know how I have such a ridiculous idea, but the way Granny Ji looks at me is so similar to when my grandfather looks at me.

Therefore, I feel in my heart that Granny Ji is not a bad person.

However, whether it is Li Fugui or this old man, they all say that Granny Ji is not a good person, Li Fugui needless to say, he is the person I trust the most at present.

And this old man, what he did just now told me a message, that is, he also cares about me, I don't know why the old man is like this all of a sudden.

But even if he seems to be good to me at the moment, I will not choose to trust him 100%.

"You come to me tonight, I will help you get rid of the old woman's things, dare to hit the attention of my family, I don't know whether I live or die." The old man looked at me kindly and said with a smile.

Li Fugui took the two of us home, and all the way, the three of us didn't speak.

After arriving at Li Fugui's house, Erdan waited for Li Fugui to cook, and then he came to my house.

"Brother Fang, I think that old man is weird, we can't go tonight." Erdan said anxiously in my ear.

It can be seen that even Erdan's brain knows the weirdness of this matter.

Gejiacun, what is waiting for me?

I seem to have gained something every day these days, but there is no really useful information at all, and perhaps, tonight is the right time.

"No, we have to go tonight." I whispered to Erdan.
