Chapter Ninety-Two: A Dilemma
"That's right......" Xiao Laodao took out the cigarette pouch rod from his body, put tobacco on it, and smoked it, after a while, Xiao Laodao seemed to remember something, and asked my grandfather coldly: "By the way, brother, who is the person who slapped you?" ”
My grandfather was stunned, and he was talking about the girl right now, why did he suddenly ask about this?
Taiye subconsciously raised his hand and touched the left side of his face, and shook his head, "I don't know who it is, but he should be saving me." ”
Xiao Laodao suddenly smiled, and asked again: "Then do you still remember, how did you meet the girl who was an artist?" ”
Hearing Xiao Laodao ask, the master felt a little unhappy, and his face showed a trace of shame, and said, "I used a piece of silver to smash it on the girl." ”
Xiao Laodao followed up and asked, "Did you do it on purpose?" ”
The master immediately looked at Xiao Laodao, with a straight face, and asked rhetorically, "Brother Xiao, do you think I did it on purpose?" ”
Xiao Laodao laughed even more and said: "You said it yourself, you hit the flying knife with a hundred shots, but you threw a silver but smashed it on the girl, how can you explain this?" ”
The master was suddenly speechless, "I...... I said a long time ago, I voted for the gong in the girl's hand, who knows...... Who knew that just as the silver was about to fall into the gong, it was suddenly pushed by a force. ”
"What kind of strength? And who sent it? ”
"How do I know!" The master was very cramped by Xiao Laodao's questioning, and he was very reluctant to mention this matter.
Xiao Laodao then asked, "The one who slapped you last night will also be a force?" ”
The master was stunned when he heard this, and felt that Xiao Laodao seemed to think of something, but he didn't want to say it directly, so he went around and around with himself, and the master said: "Brother Xiao, what do you want to say, just say it." ”
Xiao Laodao suppressed his smile, didn't pay attention to my grandfather in a hurry, knocked off the ashes in the cigarette pouch and pot, and put on a pot of tobacco again, and then said: "Actually, since the big tomb in Sanshi Mountain, my brother and I have found that your side is not peaceful......"
The master looked puzzled, "What does it mean to not be peaceful?" ”
Xiao Laodao said: "It seems that you have been following something. ”
"What's that?" The master asked hurriedly.
Xiao Laodao lit the cigarette and took a hard puff, "It's hard to say anything, but it's not trying to harm you, but it's always secretly protecting you, once you encounter danger, it will come out to help, think about it carefully, brother, am I right?" ”
My grandfather thought about it carefully, it was true, especially in the female corpse tomb and last night, these two times, if I hadn't been reminded, I was afraid that I would have been more auspicious.
Xiao Laodao continued: "I also told you before, your brother and I have been digging graves for so many years, and I have never encountered anything strange, but I can fight myself...... Since you joined the gang, in just two or three months, you have been either a ghost or a monster all day long, what snake demon wolf child, five spirit spirit female corpse, the most annoying, actually trapped in the temple of the monk who does not quit, and can't get out for a few days, brother, have you thought about it, why is this? ”
My grandfather shook his head, looking helpless, "I haven't encountered so many strange things before, and it's been since I joined the ......gang with you."
Before the master finished speaking, the two of them stared at each other, both frowning, Xiao Laodao smiled bitterly, and bared his teeth, "Heaven and earth are fair, there is a fixed number, it seems that these are the calamities we deserve." Saying that, Xiao Laodao actually shifted the conversation to the topic again, "Brother, if I guess correctly, brother, the ingot of silver on the girl should also be the work of the person next to you!" ”
The master was puzzled and said, "Brother Xiao, even if there is something around me, the girl's business is also its doing, so what is its purpose?" ”
Xiao Laodao said: "Why don't you understand, since we met, we have encountered so many strange things, these should not be coincidences, they are all related, or they are all facilitated by the one next to you." You're with the showgirl...... In my opinion, I'm afraid that there is also a relationship, otherwise, the person next to you will not make a move. ”
When my grandfather heard this, he didn't want to agree with Xiao Laodao's statement, so he said: "Impossible, I don't know this girl, how can I have a relationship......
Xiao Laodao smiled, and there was a hint of helplessness in his laughter, "Who can say clearly about fate." Xiao Laodao raised his hand and patted my grandfather's shoulder, "Brother, in my brother's humble opinion, in the dark, there is a fixed number, you better go with the flow, don't sail against the current." ”
My grandfather didn't understand it, "My brother means that he wants me to ......"
At this moment, the voice of the old man who was performing arts came from behind the two people: "Daochang Xiao, Brother Liu, it turns out that you are here." ”
My grandfather and Xiao Laodao glanced at each other, turned around and looked back, and saw the old man walking towards them with a smile on his face, Xiao Laodao hurriedly greeted the old man: "Brother, why did you wake up so early." ”
The old man looked very energetic, and replied with a smile: "People are getting old, and they feel less, you, what are you doing here?" ”
Xiao Laodao hurriedly replied: "Let's take a look at the path, the mountains here are treacherous, we must check in advance and know what to do." ”
The old man nodded, looked at my grandfather and asked, "Brother Liu, did you ...... last night Nothing happened, did it? ”
The master hurriedly replied: "It's nothing, it's all fine." ”
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the fog in the mountains gradually dissipated, and the whole looked very refreshing. After chatting a few words, the three of them returned to the camp together, and when they arrived at the camp, the girl was sitting by the campfire, and the others were still asleep on their bunks.
My grandfather subconsciously glanced at the girl, and couldn't help but sink in his heart, and thought to himself, this girl will not take advantage of the gap between herself and Xiao Laodao to wake up her father and tell her father about last night, otherwise, how could the old man leave the camp to find himself and Xiao Laodao?
The four of them sat by the bonfire, no one spoke, and after a while, the atmosphere became awkward, and the old man and the girl seemed to be waiting for my grandfather and Xiao Laodao to speak first.
In the end, Xiao Laodao coughed twice and said, "Suitable talent...... Brother Liu told me that last night, there were a few wild wolves, this doesn't matter, but then a strange palace appeared, it is said that before us, there were also several groups of people, and they never went out again when they walked into the mountains, so we have to be more careful this time. ”
The old man nodded when he heard this, and said: "With Daochang Xiao and the Dragon Slayer Hero here, we will definitely be invincible, and the three of them will do their best!" As he spoke, the old man glanced at my grandfather, as if he wanted my grandfather to say a few words.
My grandfather's heart jumped, and he was sure that the girl must have told the old man about the illusion of last night.
The master suddenly sighed in his heart, in this way, there is only a layer of window paper left, both sides understand in their hearts, they almost pierce this layer of window paper, the old man looked at himself, he should want to let himself poke this layer of window paper.
The master summed up in his heart, and it was best for him not to speak, so as not to misunderstand, and lest what he said would make the old man, father and daughter unhappy.
Xiao Laodao looked at the old man, and then looked at my grandfather, he was more shrewd than my grandfather, of course, he could see the thoughts of both sides, Xiao Laodao smiled, broke the deadlock, Xiao Laodao asked the girl, "How old is the girl this year?" ”
The girl glanced up at Xiao Laodao, her face full of shyness, "Eighteen." ”
"Oh" Xiao Lao said "oh", "I am two years younger than Bingshou, very good." ”
When the master heard this, Xiao Laodao said that it was wrong, and after glancing at Xiao Laodao, he looked at the girl again, and saw that the girl was becoming more and more shy, and her head was buried lower. The old man peeked at the old man again, and the old man smiled, and seemed to be very satisfied with Xiao Laodao's words.
Next, Xiao Laodao seemed to be about to get into the main topic, and the master wanted to give him a look and let him not talk nonsense, but Xiao Laodao didn't look at my grandfather, lowered his head and knocked on the cigarette pot, re-put on the tobacco, and said to the old man: "The palace last night was actually an illusion, which confused both of them, if someone hadn't helped, the two of them would probably have been more than lucky now." ”
When the master heard Xiao Laodao say this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then looked at the girl and the old man, the girl still lowered her head shyly, but the old man's face changed slightly, so he heard Xiao Laodao say to the old man again: "Let's go into the mountain this time, there are many crises, and everything else will be put aside first, and when we dig out the big tomb and get out of the mountain, I will be in charge of everything, brother, do you think it's okay?" ”
When my grandfather heard this, good guy, this old Taoist priest spoke, and he fell together, high and low, and went back and forth, no one should be offended. The old man glanced at the old man again, the old man's face became better again, and the old man suddenly bowed his hand to Xiao Lao Dao, "It's all up to Xiao Dao Chang." ”
My grandfather's heart sank suddenly, because my grandfather could understand the dumb riddle between the two of them.
The girl seemed a little unhappy, and called at the old man like a coquette, and the old man glanced at my grandfather and coaxed the girl, "Don't worry, the dragon slayer is a hero with affection and righteousness, and if he says it, he will not fail to count." Then he looked at my grandfather, "You said yes, Brother Liu." ”
The master was dumb and ate coptis, saying that it was not good, and that it was not okay to say no, and in the end, he nodded reluctantly.
The old man and Xiao Laodao immediately laughed at the same time.
The grandfather looked into the distance melancholy, and sighed in his heart, he ran away from home because he ran away from marriage, and now it's good, is it difficult, do you have to run away again?
The east soon turned white, and all the people in the camp woke up one by one, and after eating the dry food, they packed their bags and were about to continue their march towards the mountains, but at this moment, the little ghost monkey squeaked.
When the people looked at him, he raised his paw and pointed to the side of the mountain, and they looked at the side of the mountain......
