Chapter 19: Toss
Didn't stay in the hospital for long.
Since he came to Shanghai with his mother for medical treatment more than two years ago, Chen Xiaodonkey has been cautious every time he comes to the hospital, and he does not dare to stay long, for fear of being targeted by someone with a heart.
And when he puts his mother in the hospital, he is also assured that as long as he can afford to pay, he can get the best care here.
went out with the cat brother in his arms, and happened to meet the doctor who came over in a hurry.
"Mr. Chen."
The doctor was a young doctor, and like the nurse, he was very polite to Chen Xiaodonkey.
As for how much of this politeness is the goodness of the angels in white, and how much is the face of the money that can make the ghost grind, God knows.
Chen Xiaodonkey was also very polite, listening to the other party talk about the data of all aspects of his mother's body in the past few days, he asked: "Doctor, how many days can I use the fee I paid last time?" ”
The young doctor said, "Twelve days." ”
Chen Xiaodonkey said: "Then I will come back in twelve days to make up for the hospitalization fee, and my mother will trouble you." ”
The doctor nodded hurriedly and said yes.
This is certainly not a small amount of money. Chen Xiaodonkey reviewed his plan in his heart again, this time in addition to getting the pair of Ming Qinghua from Zhao Nansong, he also had to cut off a piece of fat from Li Mingshi's big dog, otherwise I'm sorry for the fright these days?
Boss Li may be innocent, but he is not a good person.
I just don't know how the monkey did things---- on the way to the alley with the cat brother in his arms, Chen Xiaodonkey is still a little worried, after all, what Cao Hou asked to do tonight is a bit laborious.
----
Cao Hou was very tired. After Chen Xiaodonkey left from the Broken Dao Temple first, he didn't take long to leave, first went back to the city to prepare the things he needed, and then rushed to the remote countryside where the Li family's old house was located as fast as possible.
Carrying a small burden, he collapsed outside the courtyard wall on the side of the Li Mansion and gasped for breath, so he got up and retreated a distance, and then quickly rushed forward and jumped.
There were two insignificant noises in the silent night, and a fat body quickly crossed the three-meter-high courtyard wall and fell into Li's house.
"Wang!"
The five earth dogs gathered around and watched Cao Hou come in, but only one barked softly, still wagging his tail to show goodwill, it was not a warning at all. The remaining four, all of them were panting with their tongues sticking out.
It's a kennel over here!
But when Cao Hou saw these five earth dogs, he didn't have any worry on his face, but stroked each dog's head very affectionately, and whispered: "Brothers, meet again!" ”
From ancient times to the present, most people think that having a dog at home can ensure the safety of the home to a large extent.
I didn't know that this could only be aimed at some ordinary thieves.
There is no real master of home theft on the rivers and lakes who is not proficient in the means of letting the dog eat inside and out, and raising a dog is not only useless, but more often it will become an excellent cover.
And hundreds of years ago, this craft leaked a little bit to the rivers and lakes, and it gave birth to the dog thief industry.
Cao Hou hid under the wall and opened the baggage, revealing the contents inside. A pair of shoes worn by a child, a pair of black paper shoes that were exactly the same as those placed in front of the old lady's door last night, and a small porcelain bottle with pig's blood in them.
After taking out the things, he stuffed the baggage into the kennel, and the cat's waist jumped out halfway.
The frightening movement for four consecutive nights made the atmosphere in the remote Li Mansion tense at night, and the lights were on in every occupant of the house, and the sound of snoring was almost inaudible.
Who would dare to sleep in such a situation? Everyone is afraid that as soon as they fall asleep, they will be sneaked into the house by the evil man in the house.
The huge Li Mansion is empty.
Cao Hou kept an eye on it at first, for fear that there was some trap, so he cautiously tried back and forth several times. But soon I found that I was really thinking too much, and the little donkey let him and the useless things go forward layer by layer, which had already scared the people in this house, not to mention people in the yard, there was not even a ghost at all!
"It's boring!"
He muttered quietly, and he felt the door of the small courtyard where the main house of the house was located.
Behind the Moon Gate is a garden, and further back from the garden is the house of Master Li Mingshi's old mother, and on the left and right sides are the cloisters covered with rain roofs.
According to Chen Xiaodonkey's explanation in the afternoon, Cao Hou smeared the pig's blood in the porcelain bottle on the bottom of the pair of small shoes, and then started from the gate of the courtyard, followed a zigzag path, left the bloody shoe prints according to the distance between the children's walks to the well, and finally put the tips of the black paper shoes that were exactly the same as last night on the edge of the well.
Do that well, and that's half the story.
As for the last link that Chen Xiaodonkey was worried about during the day - knocking on the door, Cao Hou didn't pay attention to it at all.
It's not that he blows, when it comes to the ability to run and hide, the two little donkeys together are not enough to see!
Walking another way back to the gate of the small courtyard, he put the small shoes stained with blood on the soles of his feet in front of the old lady's door according to the position of last night.
Accompanying the old lady today is Li Mingshi's second son. But tonight, Li Ershao, who looked more stable than Li Sanshao, did not go back to his room to sleep, but knelt in the small Buddha hall on the side with the old lady in the main room.
In front of him is a statue of Guanyin, the old lady folded her hands and read a word, Li Ershao was worried and helpless on the side.
I'm worried that my grandmother is getting older, so what if I kneel like this and there is a problem? Helplessly, he, Li Ershao, is a person who has drunk foreign ink, and he doesn't believe that there are any strange things in this world at all.
Well---- can't say I don't believe it all. The question is, even if there is something strange, can it be solved by praying to God and worshipping Buddha?
Anyway, he didn't want to continue kneeling here.
When the old lady finished reciting the Heart Sutra again, Li Ershao hurriedly said: "Grandma, it's the tenth time, did the Buddha say that it is complete, this number is the number of perfection, and it is not good to recite it again." ”
The old lady hesitated.
She doesn't understand the Tao here, that is, everyone believes in Buddhism, so she also believes, so she doesn't know whether what the second grandson said is true or not.
Seeing this, Li Er immediately hit the railway while it was hot: "And didn't my father let people go to Nanjing to invite Master Song?" It is estimated that all of them have been received, and when Master Song comes, no problems will be solved? ”
"Well, that's what you said." The old lady sighed, was picked up by Li Ershao, and half-cried: "Second son, what kind of sin did you say our family has done, it was troubled two months ago, and it has only been two months, and it has started again, which is even more terrifying than before!" What a sin this has been done! ”
"This ----" Li Er Shao sneered, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Bang bang bang!
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.
It's not very loud, but it's harsh at night.
Li Ershao didn't notice the old lady's expression stiffened, and the day when the family first made trouble was when the third child was there, so he didn't experience the strange situation of being knocked on the door in the middle of the night, and asked unhappily in his throat: "Who!" ”
Bang bang bang!
There was no one outside, and there was another knock on the door that answered him.
"Who is it, dumb!?" Li Ershao became angry namelessly, helped the old lady to sit down, and strode towards the door, saying that the people on this side of the old mansion are really getting more and more unruly, and he has to beat the knocker who knocks on the door!
The old lady was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and her second grandson suddenly pulled out to open the door, she wanted to pull but didn't. Thinking of what happened in the woman's house at the west end of the village a few days ago, I felt anxious.
Creak!
The door was slammed open.
Seeing that the door was empty, Li Ershao was so angry that his face turned pale, and he scolded: "Which bastard? Don't let Lao Tzu find out who you are tomorrow, or I'll kill you a shit! ”
After scolding, he lowered his head and prepared to close the door, and a pair of embroidered cloth shoes that looked like they should be worn by children came into view.
Li Ershao's expression suddenly froze.
"Second son, second son, what's going on?" The old lady sat at the small table, and after two breaths of relief, she was finally able to speak, but her body was still weak and she could not stand up.
"No, it's okay----" Li Ershao's voice trembled a little, and he casually said a perfunctory word to the old lady, driven by fright and curiosity, he reached out of the door and gently tossed his little shoes.
Two bloody footprints appeared in front of him at once!
"Ahh Someone, someone! Where the are they gone, come on! ”
In the next second, Li Ershao's exclamation resounded throughout the Li house.
