When a few people returned to the village, it was almost dawn, and the old man had already gotten up from bed, and when he saw my wife and a few of them returning, he hurriedly lit a fire for a few people to cook.
In the past few days of staying at the old man's house, Xiao Laodao didn't let the old man suffer a little loss, just the silver taels he gave him were enough for the old man's coffin board, plus food and clothing for the rest of his life.
After breakfast, a few people went into the house and slept with their heads covered, and slept until the time of the lamp, and under the greeting of the old man, several people got up and ate dinner.
After dinner, a few people were sleepy, sitting in the courtyard, looking at the dark mountain scenery in the distance.
At this time, Xiao Laodao asked my grandfather while smoking a dry cigarette, "Brother, if we want to fight with those beasts, what kind of weapons or spells are the best to use, don't meet them when the time comes, but we can't stop them." ”
My grandfather thought for a while and said, "The best weapon is the killing blade, that is, the iron tools used to kill animals, these iron tools have the resentment and bloody smell of beasts, and the beasts with spiritual power will tremble when they see these iron tools." As he spoke, the master took out the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword from his waist, "Brother Xiao, look at my short sword, I have killed the Dragon Lord in the Yellow River, and the evil spirit and resentment on it are extremely heavy, and I used this sword to scare the golden snake at that time." Saying that, my grandfather paused, "There is also the short sword of Eleven, I think it is not simple, we just need to find two more killing blades for you and Chu Jiu, which is more than enough to deal with those five beasts." ”
Xiao Laodao heard my grandfather say this, took out a dagger from his own arms, and asked my grandfather, "Brother, do you think I can do this thing?" ”
My grandfather looked at the dagger in Xiao Laodao's hand, it was one size shorter than Xiao Chujiu's short sword, with a single blade, the entire length, half of the handle, and half of the blade, small and sharp. In my grandfather's opinion, this knife is good, but it is a little shorter.
Xiao Laodao lowered his voice and said to my grandfather: "Don't look at this thing, it's a ...... that has killed people."
When my grandfather heard this, he glanced at Xiao Laodao and asked, "Is this the knife that killed the female ghost?" ”
At that time in Zhu's Mansion, the little ghost monkey took out a knife from the room surnamed Zhu, grabbed my grandfather and ran, my grandfather didn't care to take a closer look, and then the knife was gone, my grandfather thought that it was the little ghost monkey who gave the knife to Xiao Laodao, and Xiao Laodao put the knife away.
Xiao Laodao heard my grandfather's question, slurred his mouth, and said, "Can that inferior knife be compared to my knife, that knife has long been buried by me." ”
My grandfather looked at the knife in Xiao Laodao's hand again, it was delicate and small, sharp and sharp, it was indeed good, it should be Xiao Laodao's personal blade, maybe Xiao Laodao used it to kill people, but my grandfather didn't care, and asked: "Has this knife ever killed a beast?" ”
Xiao Laodao shook his head, and my grandfather said: "The killing blade that kills people is different from killing animals, your dagger is okay to suppress evil spirits and drive away ghosts, but it is much worse to deal with cultivating beasts." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he suddenly looked a little disappointed, and said: "Then I'll ask the old brother in the hall now to see if he has a knife to kill animals, if not, I'll ask them in the village." ”
My grandfather said: "The knife that kills ordinary domestic animals is small, unless there are many domestic animals killed, we had better find two knives that have killed jackals, tigers and leopards, or knives that have killed black dogs." ”
Xiao Laodao frowned slightly, and said, "I'm afraid that this kind of knife is difficult to find, I'll ask that old brother first to see if there is a knife to kill dogs." ”
Xiao Laodao got up and left, the bachelor old man had just fallen asleep at this time, and Xiao Laodao called him up again.
The old man yawned and said to Xiao Laodao that in their village, it was impossible to find a knife to kill a life, let alone a knife to kill a dog, not even a knife to kill a chicken.
Xiao Laodao asked the old man why, even if there is no knife to kill dogs, how can there be a chicken killer, every morning, there are a lot of roosters crowing in the village, indicating that there are a lot of chickens in the village.
The old man then sighed and replied, "In their village, not only is there a lack of food and clothing, but there are many strange things, not to mention the strange moon at night, and if anyone kills any living thing to cook and eat, the family will not be able to live in peace for several days."
A few years ago, a family killed an old hen that did not lay eggs, and as a result, that night, the yard, the roof, the trees, and even the house and bed were full of chickens, and they could not be driven away. Early the next morning, all the chickens were gone, including those who had been killed, and there was not even a single chicken feather, but when it came to the evening, the chickens would run out again, and the whole family would not survive in peace, unless they went to the yard and kowtowed to the chickens to make amends, and promised not to kill the chickens again.
Xiao Laodao heard the old man say this, and even he, a person with a lot of experience, felt incredible. The old man said that killing chickens was still the lightest, and there were people in the village who caught rabbits on the mountain, and as a result, the house became rabbits that night, and the man used a stick to chase those rabbits, but unexpectedly, the stick hit the rabbit, but his own body was very painful, as if he had smashed himself with a stick, but fortunately the rabbit he caught had not been killed, so he quickly released the rabbit, and it was all right.
After the old man finished speaking, Xiao Laodao asked the old man, there are so many strange things in the village, why don't you leave here.
The old man said, where can you go if you leave here, there are still a few acres of thin fields left, you can't be hungry, you can only ask for food when you leave here, as long as you honestly abide by the rules, nothing will happen.
Xiao Laodao heard the old man say this, and he didn't ask about the knife anymore, and left with a sigh.
Back in the courtyard, Xiao Laodao told my grandfather about the situation, my grandfather felt depressed for the people in their village after hearing it, it was not easy to live in this world, there are still so many broken rules here, these, must be inseparable from those five guys!
My grandfather said to Xiao Laodao: "Brother Xiao, didn't we hear a wolf howling in the mountains before. ”
As soon as Xiao Laodao heard this, he immediately looked at my grandfather and asked, "Brother, you don't want to get two wolf-killing knives, do you?" ”
My grandfather smiled, "Not only do I get a knife, but I also want to see if what the old man said is true......
My grandfather's move seems to be crazy, but Xiao Laodao didn't object, and the two of them hit it off.
That night, the three masters and apprentices of Xiao Laodao, as well as my grandfather, came to the hiding place of the ghost monkey and the wolf child together. My grandfather suggested that it would be more difficult to find wolves with just a few of them, but if you bring the wolf child to find it, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort, my grandfather wants Xiao Laodao to say hello to the female ghost, let the female ghost and the wolf child discuss, and take them to find the wolves.
According to Xiao Laodao's estimates, the wolf child will be able to completely get rid of the wolf nature within three months, and in another three months, even if he can't speak, he can understand people and do simple communication, which is a good sign.
However, Xiao Laodao did not agree to take the wolf child, Xiao Laodao said that this matter originally had nothing to do with the wolf child's mother and son, and their mother and son could no longer be implicated.
When my grandfather heard Xiao Laodao say this, he felt a little uncomfortable, obviously there was a shortcut, why did he have to take a detour, the ghost monkey and the wolf are not the same kind of animals, can it be found?
However, after all, Xiao Laodao is more than 20 years older than my grandfather, and he is not a few years younger than my grandfather, and in terms of experience and experience, he is richer than my grandfather.
Leaving the hiding place with the ghost monkey, Xiao Laodao instructed the ghost monkey to lead the way in front of the head and find a wolf's den, preferably a wolf's den with only two or three wolves.
The ghost monkey looked at my grandfather with a blank face, and my grandfather understood that it would not look for it at all, so he said to it: "If you want to find it, you can find it, and if you can't find it, we will think of another way." ”
So, the little ghost monkey with a few people, wandering around the mountains and wilderness, there is a way, things are like gathering, people are grouped, just like my grandfather said, ghost monkeys and wolves are not a kind of animals, how can it find a wolf's den, looking for a monkey's den is almost the same.
Turning around, it turned into the middle of the night. It was also evil that there was not even a wolf howl that night, as if the wolves knew that someone was looking for them, and they all hid.
At this time, Xiao Laodao seemed to be a little unable to hold back his temperament, and scolded the ghost monkey in front of him: You useless brute, you have fed you for nothing, and you can't find the wolf's den again, so I will whip you when I go back, wait, anyway, the scolding is quite vicious.
My grandfather listened to Xiao Laodao scolding the ghost monkey, and he was not happy in his heart, but he was even more unhappy at this time, he never treated the ghost monkey as a beast, besides, even if the ghost monkey is a beast, it is also a beast that he raised, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, Xiao Laodao scolded the monkey so much, he clearly didn't want to save a little face for himself.
After I couldn't hold it back, my grandfather endured his temperament and said to Xiao Laodao: "Brother Xiao, you dissipate your anger, it is a monkey, not a wolf, it is impossible to take us to find the wolf's den." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he glanced at my grandfather, and said coldly: "It's all what you are used to it for, if it had been handed over to me earlier, I would have trained it to be obedient, where is it like now, nothing will happen, a waste!" ”
When my grandfather heard this, his eyes widened, and he said: "Brother Xiao, although the monkey's parents are your spiritual creatures, the little monkey follows me all the way, and it has nothing to do with you. ”
Xiao Laodao suddenly shouted, as if he was in a hurry, "What's wrong with me scolding it, what it's doing wrong, I'm going to scold, don't talk about it, even if you do something wrong, I'll scold it the same!" ”
My grandfather's sword eyebrows were immediately raised, but my grandfather is not a fool, he quickly felt that something was wrong with Xiao Laodao, just imagine, a person with such a careful mind can not know that it is easier for wolf children to find wolf dens? The wolf child is now able to do a lot of things under the guidance of the female ghost, and it is not a problem to find the wolf's den, why doesn't he let the wolf child find it?
The master thought about it again, in fact, Xiao Laodao readily promised his attention to killing wolves before, there was already a problem, he never dared to be so impulsive, this time...... He deliberately didn't let the wolf child lead the way, could it be because he didn't want to find the wolf's den?
I've been with him for so long, and I've never seen him scold anyone, although he sometimes has a short temper, but he will never be scathing and mean.
My grandfather was silent, and caught up with the ghost monkey in a few steps, and walked with the monkey. The master smiled at the ghost monkey, lowered his voice and said, "Don't pay attention to the bull's nose, I'll accompany you to find it." When the little ghost monkey heard this, he looked at my grandfather gratefully, and his tears were about to fall.
My grandfather glanced back at Xiao Lao Dao, and said in his heart, this old Taoist priest, what kind of medicine does he want to sell in the gourd......
