Chapter 39: The Sorcerer

From the discovery of the death of the ground mouse to the present I am in a state of confusion, last night I also saw my own affair made me envy the ground mouse, why is it dead now? Forget about dying. But what happened to the appearance of a little snake in this corpse, all this, why didn't I get confused?

After sending away the little snake, the old man who took the lead in the appearance of a wizard carried away the corpse of the ground mouse, leaving the three of us standing there like fools, and I asked my second uncle, "How did the ground mouse die?" ”

"Who the hell knows, when I woke up in the morning, I saw him kneeling naked outside." The second uncle said.

I looked at the proprietress and felt that this woman was the murderer, and I felt a little uncomfortable, but those people didn't bother us, and we went to the little guest house, and our guide was a ground mouse. He is also a bargaining chip to ensure that a few of us can get in front of Huang Lao's group, but now that the ground rat is dead, we can't even compare to Huang Lao and them, at least they have maps, and we don't even have maps.

The hostess looked sad. I don't know if it's acting or really sad for this friend of mine, but she still prepared breakfast for us, and when we were having breakfast, the second uncle grabbed the proprietress and said, "Big sister, don't be kind, I waited for you all night with the door open last night, why didn't I see you come to me?" ”

"This gentleman is laughing, you know at a glance that you are not an ordinary person. How can you look at a broken flower like me? Your friend died with me, he is also my old acquaintance, sister, in my heart, it's not a taste. The proprietress said.

"People can't be resurrected after death, big sister, you also mourn, do our business, the head is hung on the belt, and I have long looked down on life and death, but I am just confused, how did my friend die? Big sister, you tell me the truth, if I guess correctly, the old man just now is the blind wizard you told me last night that opened his eyes, and he seems to really have some ability. What did he say about my friend's death? The second uncle asked.

"Well, who knows. This good person, if he said no, it was gone, and the wizard didn't say anything, but that little snake has a background, didn't I tell you last night, the last time the blind man opened his eyes, we had a snake plague here? Later, it was the blind wizard who interceded with the mountain god, and after that time, the blind wizard said that the snake was the messenger of the mountain god, and there were many snakes in this mountain, and the villagers used to catch and eat, and then he let people not kill snakes, and the snakes never hurt people, and the village often saw snakes wandering on the streets. Although the wizard didn't say it, but looking at your friend's death, it should have angered the mountain god? The proprietress said.

As soon as I heard it, I was angry, and I didn't take you to talk like this, did you? I deliberately said in a weird way: "Boss, I feel strange about this, why did this mountain god kill this friend of mine?" Could it be that this mountain god is your friend? I ate my friend's vinegar, so I sent an envoy to kill him? ”

The proprietress changed her face, but she still squeezed out a smile and said, "Why don't I understand this little brother?" ”

"When I went to the toilet last night, I took a look at my friend's room, and the proprietress was riding well!" I said.

The proprietress completely changed her face this time, glared at me, and said, "It seems that this little brother has some opinions about me, so I'll lose my company first." After saying that, she immediately smeared oil on the soles of her feet and slipped away, and I wanted to stop her, but my second uncle stopped her and said, "What's the situation?" ”

"You can't hear this, I see that eighty percent of this ground mouse was killed by her, last night when I went to the toilet, I saw this boss lady and the ground mouse tossing in bed, and then woke up the mouse to death, you say strange is not strange, this may be a black shop, killing the ground mouse is to make money and kill life, you forgot the one who entered my room last night? If you don't come, I'm sure I'll end up like a ground mouse. I said.

The second uncle frowned tightly and said, "It's possible, but it won't, don't forget, the ground mouse has been here before, and he was fine last time." Anyway, you have been in the village for so many years, you should understand the rules of the village, we are outsiders, don't offend the locals, it's boring. ”

"We can't call the police?" I said.

"It's boring, it's useless to call the police, besides, the ground rat is a tomb robber, and there are a lot of cases, and maybe even a few of us will be arrested when the strip comes." The second uncle said.

"So let's not live here, she just saw that the people who came into the mountains were not good at stubble, so she deliberately ate black here." I said.

The second uncle waved his hand and said, "I'm still waiting, now we don't have ground mice, we don't even have a map, we can only wait." ”

--That being said, the strange death of the ground mouse had to alert the three of us, and after what I had just done, I also felt that the words of the proprietress might be a bit heavy, after all, a widow also has physiological needs, she just made an appointment with the ground mouse, and then the ground mouse died, and it was really not good for me to talk to a woman in that tone.

Of course, the three of us can't be idle, the original Huang Lao is a threat to us, but now it has become the only hope for the first time, the ground mouse is dead, we may be difficult to find the place where he found the jade pendant, and Huang Lao They have a map of the ground mouse, and now they have become our navigation. Giant acrobatics.

So according to the second uncle's plan, we should enter the mountain as soon as possible, and after entering the mountain, we will hide in a hidden position, and wait for Huang Lao, who was left behind by us, to catch up, and we will follow all the way. Come a praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finch behind.

I have no problem with Chen Jiuliang, after all, this is the only way at the moment.

The three of us huddled together to deal with possible crises, but this is not a way, in fact, none of the three of us are atheists, but if you want to say that this is the mountain god sent a snake to kill him, we will definitely not believe it, the murderer should be the people in the village, and the suspect I identified is the coquettish proprietress, but the second uncle said to me: "If it is really the people in the village who committed the crime, the blind old man is more suspicious, how do I think he is awkward." ”

We didn't discuss any results, but we agreed that no matter what the reason, this guest house could not stay now, so we packed our bags, threw 3,000 yuan to the proprietress and prepared to temporarily camp in the mountains.

When I arrived at Yamaguchi, I suddenly heard the voice of this boss lady behind me: "Boss, wait a minute! ”

I instantly became alert, touched the dagger on my waist, and said to the second uncle: "It's definitely not a good thing to stop us from entering the mountain, get her?" ”

The second uncle glanced at me and said with a smile: "I said eldest nephew, do you think grapes are sour when you can't eat grapes, why do I feel that you are particularly unhappy with this boss lady?" Can she, a woman, stop us? ”

When I blushed, the second uncle had already walked over to the boss lady and said with a smile: "Big sister, what's wrong?" Reluctant to let me go, brother? ”

"Good brother, I can't bear you, but no matter how reluctant I am to you, I can't delay you to do a big thing, no, it's the wizard who said he wants to see you." The proprietress ran a few steps and said breathlessly.

"Second uncle, the person who came is not good, I don't see it, I think we should leave quickly." I said.

"Don't, let's go, go and meet, there are people outside the world, it's better to make friends, isn't it?" The second uncle smiled, followed the proprietress back to the guest house, we put down our luggage again, and followed a young man to a wooden attic in the village, which was the wizard's house.

In the remote area, in fact, the word wizard is very interesting, the wizard, the teacher, is not only a psychic, but also plays the role of a doctor, when we got here, we found the corpse of the ground mouse on the ground with a white cloth, the yard is full of herbs, and the wizard is over there tinkering with herbs, we came to stand here, he didn't even raise his head.

After standing for about half an hour, the wizard said slowly, "The one who died was with the three of you, do you know how he died?" ”

"I want to hear about it." The second uncle said.

"Last time, he broke into the place of the mountain god, but he ran away, this time, he didn't run, and the mountain god wanted his life." The wizard said.

"I don't quite understand that." The second uncle said with a smile.

"No one understands better than you, this person went into the mountain a few months ago, offended the mountain god, last time he carried a thing in his hand to save his life, this time he died, I know better, you should also go to the place of the mountain god, so I stopped you, if you don't want to die, go now." He looked up and glared at us.

When I saw his eyes, I suddenly felt cold, and his eyes were full of whites.
