Although Xiao Du is not very old, he has a quick mind, listened to the words of the Taoist priest, and then saw that although he was not much older than himself, he was full of fairy wind and bones, and hurriedly said:

"It is natural that non-earned income should not be taken. Since the Taoist is a master in the world and has a fiery eye, I hope that the Taoist can give guidance. ”

The young Taoist was only about twenty years old at most, but his demeanor was very free and easy, and he was not embarrassed, and immediately said:

"Although the sun is burning on your shoulders, the top door is shrouded in dark clouds, and as expected, you should not survive tonight."

Xiao Du was shocked, he learned to tie paper, it was the craft of Yin Xing, and he understood the meaning of the Taoist's words. The key is that he is a penniless elementary school apprentice, even if the Taoist is a charlatan, he can't deceive himself.

Xiao Du knelt down for the Taoist on the spot and begged him for help.

The Taoist helped him up, saying that the purpose of his coming here was related to what happened to Xiao Du. As long as he does what he says, he can naturally avoid this catastrophe.

The Taoist said the way to avoid disaster, but after listening to it, Xiao Du felt unbelievable.

The Taoist hurriedly said, "I know that you will not fully believe my words, but if you think about it carefully, you will definitely find something strange. It's not too early, so go back quickly. Remember, you have to do what I say, do the right thing to save your life! ”

After saying that, he shoved a small paper bag and a pill into his hand, then turned around and walked away.

Although Xiao Du was up and down in his heart, he still stubbornly ate the roast chicken with meat and bones sent by the Taoist. The heart said that even if you can't escape the doom, at least you have to be a full ghost.

Back at the paper shop, the shopkeeper did not blame Xiao Du for coming back late, on the contrary, not only asked Xiao Du to eat at the table for the first time, but also poured wine for Xiao Du himself.

Xiao Du is not a scheming person, even if he didn't meet that person, the shopkeeper's sudden change of attitude towards himself, he had to think about a reason in his heart. What's more, after hearing what the Taoist said, and then thinking about this way, not only did he not panic at this time, but he drank with the shopkeeper without missing any flaws.

After two glasses of wine, Xiao Du was a little overwhelmed, and said to the shopkeeper with a red face:

"Master, I haven't been home for two years, and if the store isn't busy, I want to go home."

The shopkeeper said that this was reasonable, and he asked Xiao Du to wait a while, got up and went to the back hall, and when he came back, he had an extra cloth bag in his hand.

opened the cloth bag in front of Xiao Du and said with a smile: "You have worked hard in the past two years, I can't let you work in vain, the money is not much, you deserve it." When I go back, if I want to come again, I'll wait for you. If you want to start from scratch and go it alone, these are the costs. ”

If you want to say something to the young Taoist, Xiao Du originally only believed five points, and when he saw the things in the baggage, he had already believed ten points.

Again, Xiao Yi is not a scheming person. On the contrary, in the past two years, in addition to the skills of the professor in charge, he has secretly learned more.

In the eyes of ordinary people, there is a lot of money in the baggage, enough for a family to live for a year. But in Xiao Du's opinion, it is not real money at all, but a 'paper money' made of gold foil and transformed by a special method, which is dead money!

After the shock, Xiao Du was more calm, 'grateful' took the 'gift', and ran to his own room behind, saying that he wanted to collect the money, but he took the opportunity to put the pill given by the Taoist under his tongue.

When I returned to the front hall, I had a drink with the shopkeeper for a while. After drinking a pot of wine, Xiao Du's neck was red, he was shaking when he sat down, and the shopkeeper was so drunk that he fell asleep on the table.

Xiao Du staggered over to clean the street, went to the door panel, and when he turned back again, although his face was red, he looked at the shopkeeper who was still sleeping on the table, but the corners of his mouth went up, revealing a smile:

"Hehe, idiot, if it hadn't been for today, I might have saved your life. But if you want to kill me, don't blame me for leaving no room for it. ”

As he spoke, he took out a half-foot-long, sharp-edged iron bar from his sleeve, walked to the table, and slammed it into the shopkeeper's temple!

When I came to the backyard, I saw that the shopkeeper's room had been lit up, and through the window paper, a woman's slender figure was reflected.

Xiao Du bit his lower lip and looked at it for a while, then looked at the sky, walked to the door with one foot and one foot shallow, knocked on the door with his backhand, and said vaguely:

"Master, Master...... Master drank too much! ”

"Oh!"

As the proprietress agreed, the figure behind the window swayed, and after a while, the door opened.

The proprietress glanced at the front hall across the courtyard, and complained: "Drinking like this again, this day is simply unbearable." ”

"Master is too fat, I can't carry him."

"Leave him alone, as always, just let him wake up."

Xiao Du rubbed his nose, "Okay, master, there's nothing to do, I'll go to sleep first." I...... I'm also a little drunk. ”

The proprietress suddenly grabbed him, bit her lip, glanced at the front hall again, and said in a low voice, "You come in with me first." Saying that, he couldn't help but say something, and dragged Xiao Du in.

dragged Xiao Du into the house, the proprietress closed the door with her backhand, but she left Xiao Du alone, walked quickly to the bed, squatted down, and pulled out a suitcase from under the bed.

"Master, you ......"

The proprietress dragged the suitcase to Xiao Du, stroked his cheek with one hand, and suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Are you sure he's really drunk? Won't wake up for a while? ”

Xiao Du nodded hurriedly: "Sure, he drank too much, and he was drunk to death." ”

The proprietress also nodded, "Xiao Du, did I ask you last time, if one day, I am willing to fly away with you, are you willing?" ”

Xiao Du kept silent.

The proprietress was a little anxious: "Don't be stupid, in the past two years, your so-called master has not taught you the craft at all." I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, he came to you, he didn't really want to take you as an apprentice, he wanted your life! ”

"What?!" Xiao Du was shocked.

"Listen to me, you may not believe it, but you have to believe it, your master is actually in his seventies! He looked like he was only in his forties, because he knew how to use evil arts! I'm nominally his wife, but in reality, I'm just a tool to be used by him! In the past two years, he has treated you badly on the surface, but secretly, he asked me to secretly give you food. In fact, in those foods, he put his special tonics! He raised you for two years, so that today, through me, I want to absorb your essence for him to nourish! ”

Listening to the words of the proprietress, Xiao Du's scalp exploded for a while, and he wondered if he hadn't met that Taoist priest, and he really didn't know who killed the deer!

"Master, what are you going to do now?" Xiao Du asked.

Seeing Xiao Du gritting her teeth, the proprietress showed a hint of relief, "These days, you know what I mean to you." This box contains all the old monster's belongings, let's leave tonight! ”

Xiao Du looked at the suitcase at her feet, seemed to be stunned for a moment, and nodded for a while, "I'm leaving, but I have to wait." ”

"Wait? What are you waiting for? The proprietress was puzzled.

Xiao Du turned his face to look at the oil lamp on the table, his eyes flickering in the light of the lamp:

"Wait a little longer, wait for someone to kill the shopkeeper to get rid of the trouble!"
