Chapter 412: Inch by Inch
I looked at Xiao Chen and spread his hands to show that I couldn't do anything, Xiao Chen's face was entangled and hesitated for a while, then opened his backpack and took out a cigarette from it, handed it over through the barricade and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, you are accommodating, my friend came all the way to see the post station on the mountain, you look at this hot day, you are embarrassed to let us run for nothing, right?" ”
The old man took the cigarette and looked at it, and his eyes glanced at my backpack as if he didn't have any, I couldn't help frowning slightly after I found out, and said that this old man looks honest, but I didn't expect to eat and take the card to get up quite professional!
As soon as my heart moved, I suddenly had the idea of making fun of the other party, took off the backpack and opened the zipper, the old man's eyes lit up at once, I secretly laughed and buckled a piece of talisman paper in the palm of my hand, and then stretched out the back of my hand towards the old man, and at the same time motioned for him to reach out and take it with my eyes.
This old man is really not polite to me, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed my hand, and when he touched the rune paper, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and what I wanted was this effect, and before he pulled his hand back, he silently recited the fire spell in his heart, and then the rune paper in my palm burned with a "boom"!
The sudden fire frightened the old man, and he fell to the ground after three steps back, and watched the fire in my hand gradually extinguish with a pale face, and hurriedly turned over and knelt on the ground to kowtow to me, and did not forget to beg for mercy again and again: "Oops! Old man, I have no eyes! I don't know if it's the great gods coming! You're a big man! Just spare the little one this time! ”
As early as when the old man Zhang just knelt down, I pulled Xiao Chen to hide from the direction of his worship, playing tricks on people, with my little bit of Taoism, I must not be able to stand the old man's worship, Xiao Chen seemed to be a little unsightly, glared at me and wanted to help, I hurriedly grabbed him and whispered: "Don't go!" You don't want to live anymore? ”
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and I didn't know what it meant, so I couldn't say too much in front of Old Man Zhang, so I gave him a look of "I'll explain later".
Let's say that the old man, after worshipping for a long time without responding, at first glance he dared to look up, and found that we hid next to him and understood that I was playing tricks on him, and he was embarrassed for a while and stood up with his legs, and looked at me with a little fear in his eyes, and took two steps back before whispering: "Come in by yourself, in case someone finds out, don't say that you entered from here." ”
I hooked the corners of my mouth and squeezed out a harmless smile: "Then thank you Uncle Zhang!" ”
After climbing over the barricade and going up the hill along the road, and couldn't see the color steel house under the mountain, Xiao Chen immediately couldn't help but ask: "Yu Miao!" What did you just do? Uncle Zhang is so old that you still scare people, what if you scare out a heart attack! ”
I asked absentmindedly while looking for my way: "Do you think a person who is sixty or seventy years old and dares to blow on a bottle with a second pot will have a heart attack?" ”
Xiao Chen's expression froze, and he paused before continuing: "Let's not talk about this matter first, why didn't you let me help Uncle Zhang just now!" ”
"To save your little life," I continued absent-mindedly to reply, "I admit that it was wrong for me to play tricks on him, but I dare not bow to him for this little bit of Taoism."
And if he worships the two of us by name, then we must help him in the past, but what he shouted in his mouth just now is 'Great Immortal', if we are involved in this matter, it will be stained with cause and effect, and people worship the gods and goddesses are interrupted by you, so don't you find the gods unhappy? You don't have a good time finding the gods, and the gods can still let you fall well? ”
After listening to the expression on Xiao Chen's face, it was wonderful, and it took a while before he held back a sentence: "It's all feudal superstition!" "I love to read
Hearing this, I only smiled slightly and didn't defend it, maybe I could still have a fight with him a few years ago, but now I'm used to it, Yin and Yang Feng Shui is originally a thing that you believe in, and if you don't believe it, you can break through the sky when you meet a person in the same way, but if you catch up with those who don't believe it, even if I say that the flowers come to people, I still don't believe it, so why bother with words?
To put it simply, half an hour later, we found the pear tree that Xiao Chen said before, it was the season when the pears were ripe, and we could see the yellow and clear pears from afar, but I didn't expect that after so many years, this tree was still as lush as he remembered.
After we came to the tree, Xiao Chen said hello and climbed to the tree to pick pears, I tasted it and found that it was not as delicious as he said, but it was also very good, the taste was slightly sour, the entrance was fresh, and it was very thirst-quenching for us who climbed the mountain against the sun.
With Xiao Chen's help, I also climbed up the tree, there is a tree house he built when he was a child, and we plan to rest here for a while before leaving, otherwise the midday sun is too poisonous, and if we continue to walk, we may suffer from heat stroke.
It is said that it is a tree house, but in fact, it is to build a platform on a few branches, and the roof is the canopy above, Xiao Chen folded some thin branches with leaves and spread them on it, lying in the mottled shadow of the tree eating pears and blowing the mountain breeze, but there is also a feeling of ease.
I was going to take a nap, but maybe I slept too much in the car before, and I didn't feel sleepy after lying with my eyes closed for a long time, and I turned my head to find that Xiao Chen was not sleeping either, so I casually asked, "Actually, you also want to go home, right?" ”
Xiao Chen was looking in a certain direction and didn't know what he was thinking, and when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment and hurriedly vetoed: "I didn't!" I don't want to go back at all! ”
"Then you still have so many things, wine and cigarettes!" I sneered, and continued without waiting for Xiao Chen to speak: "Don't explain, even if you can explain the bottle of wine clearly, you can't tell the cigarette clearly, I know that you don't smoke, it won't be prepared for me, right?" ”
Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment and whispered: "The wine and cigarettes were prepared by me for Uncle Zhang, I haven't come back for a long time, can't I give some gifts to acquaintances?" ”
"Really?" I chuckled, squinted at Xiao Chen and said, "But why don't I think you didn't know that Uncle Zhang was guarding the door here before you came?" ”
"Of course I do!" Xiao Chen hurriedly argued.
"You lie," I looked into Xiao Chen's eyes and said firmly: "Before you came, you said that you could try your luck with your documents, but after you got here, you found out that it was an acquaintance who opened the door to the scenic spot, so you didn't hesitate to choose to give gifts and bribes, if I guessed correctly, you don't want the village to know that you are a patrol team!" ”
"I didn't!" Xiao Chen screamed and sat up, because he was in too much of a hurry and almost fell off the tree!
I quickly reached out and pulled him with a casual smile: "Don't get excited!" Isn't it idle to chat! I know something must have happened to you in the village, and I admit that I'm interested in it, but I respect your decision, and if you don't want to say it, I definitely won't ask! ”
After saying that, I raised my finger to the sky and swore an oath, Xiao Chen stared at me with an ugly face for a while, "hummed" and lay on the platform with his back to me, I saw that he seemed to be really angry and didn't say more, but in my heart I was more curious about him.
