4. A new look
Boss Wu gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Lao Tzu didn't let you be humiliated, use me as a blackmail, let so many of my brothers drink the northwest wind, think beautiful!" Don't go, it's night, it's time to do business, just do business! β
Qi Mu put down the bronze bell, lowered his head, looked at Boss Wu for a while, and then said with a smile: "Boss Wu, you have backbone, you don't feel good now, your limbs are weak, your head is dizzy, right, yes, I have more means to make you uncomfortable, you try this again." β
Qi Mu said and put his hand on Boss Wu's shoulder, ready to hold down the yang fire. Boss Wu shouted: "If you have the ability, you will kill Lao Tzu, otherwise, don't give me back." Even if Lao Tzu is dead, he can't be sorry for his brothers. β
The vendors saw that Qi Mu was powerful and didn't dare to step forward, but when they heard Boss Wu's words, they were all very excited and couldn't leave. Someone shouted: "Don't bully people, little Taoist, let go of Boss Wu!" β
Boss Wu closed his eyes, but Qi Mu let go of his hand, looked at Boss Wu's body, and then said with a smile: "Your kneecaps are not compatible, you should often have the influence of cold legs, it's better to do this, I'll help you heal, you take them away, how about it?" β
Boss Wu was shocked: "How do you know? Then he shook his head again: "Come less, do you want to bribe me, don't think about it!" β
"Okay, then don't force me to do it!" Qi Mu raised his hand, and was about to slap it down with one palm, Zhang Jiuhe was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Don't make trouble!" As soon as the words came out, he was gently dragged by Qing Mian, and shook his head with a smile.
Qi Mu slapped it with one hand, but it was only patted on Boss Wu's knee, and the breath in his hand turned and merged, Boss Wu only felt that the pain was unbearable, and he couldn't help but hum out, and then opened his eyes, looking at Qi Mu with an incredible face.
Qi Mu stood up and said with a smile: "It's a man, get up." You can do what you like, just a little, you are not allowed to escape too noisy, I am alone in the Taoist temple, even if you make a mess at night, if the people of Wumiaoan are not resting well, I will not let any of them go! β
Although he is young, his words carry weight, which makes people dare not refute. Boss Wu looked at Qi Mu and walked straight down.
Qi Mu stretched his waist, turned around and smiled: "I'm going to clean up the Taoist Temple, hey, some of them are cleaned up." β
Qingmian is not good to enter the Taoist temple, so he can only go back to Wumiaoan first, Zhang Jiuhe helps to clean up, but unfortunately he is always asking Qi Mu how powerful he is, Qi Mu is really impatient, so he sent him away, and then he was busy, cleaned the courtyard room, set up the statue of Sanqing Dao, lit the stove fire, lit a few lanterns, and in the evening, the Taoist temple was new inside and out.
Qi Mu thought that the faΓ§ade was still dirty, so he took a rag and went out, and as soon as he went out, he was frightened by the scene in front of him.
It's already night, the spring river is lit with stars, and occasionally flower boats float by. The previous vendors lit their own lights, and the vendors all organized their stalls, and the middle avenue was obvious, and all kinds of garbage before were swept away, which had a bit of a sense of striving for a civilized city. Wumiao'an was not open at night, but now the door is also open, and some nuns poke their heads out and look at the new atmosphere outside, very happy.
Qi Mu stood at the door, and Boss Wu walked over from the side, arched his hand, and said, "That, Xiao Daoye, I, we can't do anything, there is no other place to do business." You have great skills, but you didn't force us, I, we are very grateful to you. We cleaned up the shop and the environment was improved, and it will be maintained every day in the future. I think, little Daoist, you are a Taoist temple, after all, you also want people to have more, come to incense and pray for blessings or something, don't drive us away. β
Boss Wu said this and looked at Qi Mu. The man next to him came over with a tray and said with a smile: "Little Daoye, come here for a few skewers of mutton, this is the goods I went to buy in the afternoon, real mutton, you can taste it!" β
Qi Mu was a little moved, Boss Wu frowned and said: "Rough people are just ignorant, Xiao Daoist is a Taoist priest, he has precepts and the like, what kind of meat do you eat?" Go get the barbecue dishes and let the Taoist order one. β
"No, I'm not that particular." Qi Mu grabbed the mutton skewers, ate them so much, and then said with a smile: "Boss Wu, I respect you as a man, and I will never give in for the benefit of everyone." I'm not a bully, so you can't do business here. Wouldn't it be nice to make it clean and beautiful now? Yes yes, very supportive. β
Several men in the stall turned their heads and looked at Qi Mu and smiled. Qi Mu stepped on the ladder to wipe the plaque, and as soon as he came, there were preserved fruit skewers and beer drinks, and a plate was filled. Boss Wu took it and said: "Xiao Daoye has returned from a long trip, he must not have lived to cook, come, eat more, it will be dinner." β
"How can this work, I was going to order takeout." Qi Mu excused himself, stretched out his hand to take it, ate it with oily faces, poured another glass of cold beer, and drank it all. Ever since he opened the meat dish at Zhang Tiansheng's place, Qi Mu has fallen in love with the feeling of drinking, and now he has tasted beer again, and he feels that it tastes even better. A few people around looked at this little Taoist priest eating coldly, and they were also surprised.
Qi Mu ate and drank for a while, the night breeze was cold, it was the time to be comfortable, so he simply sat on the steps of the Taoist temple, watching the flow of people, and felt a little lonely for a while. Zhang Tiansheng's appearance flashed in his mind, and Qin Rouyi's shadow appeared again, and finally sighed.
Boss Wu came over with a plate of dishes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Little Daoist, do you want to have some more?" β
"No need, Boss Wu, don't hesitate, like a little girl, let's talk about something." Qi Mu lay down along the steps, crossed Erlang's legs, and said with a smile: "Happy, we are all men." β
Boss Wu was taken aback: "You, how do you know?" β
"I'm a Taoist priest, what don't you know?" Qi Mu took a sip of beer and said with a smile: "I also know that the socks on your left foot are torn, and your underwear is red......"
"Ahem!" Wu Lao coughed loudly and hurriedly waved his hand: "That, me, my birth year." Xiao Dao Ye has great powers, and he is really not an ordinary person, I, I do have something, I want to ask for your help. Xiao Daoye, you, as soon as you made a move, you cured my cold legs for many years, and please help me go to see my mother. My mother is crazy, she can't go to the hospital, she can't go to the psychiatric hospital, she chatters at home every day, and her body is not as good as day by day. I, as a son, can't do anything, it's really heartbreaking. When I met you today, I think I met a master, you must help! β
"Madness?" Qi Mu was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" β
Boss Wu was bloated, sat down next to Qi Mu, still shrunken, full of comedy. He smiled wryly and said, "It's all my fault." In June this year, my father left, I was afraid that my mother would be sad, so I wanted to take her out for a walk, so I rented a cruise boat and wanted to go out to play along the Spring River, but the boat didn't go out much, my mother grabbed the boat to jump down, if I hadn't stopped desperately at the time, she would have thrown herself into the lake. Since then, my mother has been insane, sleeping all the time during the day, thinking about going out at night, walking all the time by the spring river, and, and," he said, his eyes wide as if in panic.
Qi Mu frowned: "And what?" β
Boss Wu stammered: "Moreover, when my mother walks along the Spring River every night, she keeps saying a sentence in her mouth, that is, don't go, wait for me." When he said this, he paused and whispered, "But there is obviously nothing ahead." I think my mom saw something that no one else could see. β
Qi Mu licked his lips, a little excited. Ever since he had cultivated the Qi Vein Dao Technique, he had always wanted to encounter some gods and ghosts so that he could have more cultivation. Now that something comes to the door, naturally I won't let it go. He stood up, patted his robe, and said with a smile: "Let's go, it's night, go see your mother." β
Boss Wu rubbed his hands excitedly: "Really? Little Daoist, much, thank you. β
The two crossed the Chunjiang Bridge, and Boss Wu drove a small truck and drove Qi Mu all the way, and about twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a row of bungalows.
Boss Wu laughed and said, "Little Daoist, please inside." β
Qi Mu nodded, and was just about to follow, when the qi source in his body suddenly moved for no reason. His heart jumped, and when he looked back, there was a tall business building not far away, and it was late at night, and the lights of the business building were all turned off, and it was pitch black.
Qi Mu frowned and stared at the business building, not moving. Boss Wu was stunned for a moment, came over to look at Qi Mu, then looked at the building, and said hatefully: "Master Dao, you can also see it, isn't it, this building is really hateful, there was a garden in front of it, how good the scenery was, and then the developer grabbed the place, demolished the garden and built a business building, blocking the lighting of our community here, and no one cared about it at all." β
Qi Mu smiled, stared at the top floor of the business building, and really couldn't see anything, so he turned around and continued to walk forward.
The breeze is blowing, the moon is as cool as water, on the roof of the business building, a man with a golden shirt and black sweatpants came out at this moment, sitting directly on the edge of the building, his legs hanging in the air, holding a coin in his left hand, turning it over.
He put his right hand on the railing, and the electric light flickered, and one of the originally dark business buildings under him suddenly turned on, and then went out again. Then the lights came on again, and then they went out again.
In this way, the rooms of a business building are like piano keys, randomly lit up, and then plunged into darkness.
The man tossed the coin again, clenched it, and then stood up, and the business building at his feet was no longer lit.
"Qi Vein Daoist? Interesting and interesting. β
Qi Mu followed Boss Wu into the last row of houses, and was greeted by a middle-aged woman, who was Miao Lan of Boss Wu. Miao Lan heard that Qi Mu was here to see her mother-in-law, so she hurriedly vacated the table and set up a chair to make way for her seat.
Qi Mu walked to the door of a room, and saw an old grandmother lying inside, sixty or seventy years old, with a red cotton jacket, black trousers, and a pair of cloth shoes, full of hair, sleeping with her back to him, the old grandmother had a thick hemp rope tied to her feet, and the legs of the bedside table were tied at one end.
"This is my mother." Boss Wu pulled Qi Mu to the living room to sit down, and said with a wry smile: "Usually at eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, my mother will have a seizure. I also tied her legs to be safe. β
Qi Mu nodded, and Miao Lan whispered, "The child has already slept." Let's just wait for Mom now? β
Boss Wu waved his hand: "You go and sleep with the child, I and Xiao Daoye will just wait here." Don't worry, there is a little Taoist here, no problem. β
Miao Lan was about to leave, but her expression suddenly changed greatly, pointed to the balcony window, and stammered: "Yes, there are people!" β
Before Boss Wu could react, Qi Mu rushed to the balcony with an arrow and looked out, but there was nothing outside.
Boss Wu frowned and said, "Can you not waste your energy?" β
Miao Lan looked embarrassed and said hurriedly: "I, I really saw someone just now, and he suddenly rushed to the top and fell down." β
"Our house is on the first floor, where else can we fall?" Boss Wu waved his hand and said impatiently, "Go to sleep." β
Miao Lan entered the room and closed the door. Qi Mu and Boss Wu sat in the living room, chatting with or without a match, gradually becoming sleepy, and fell asleep against the sofa.
Qi Mu closed his eyes and fell asleep, his inner vision turned on, and the qi source in his body moved for no reason, and he couldn't help but open his eyes and look, and he was suddenly startled.
I don't know when the light in the living room was turned off, it was very dark, there was moonlight on the balcony, and Boss Wu was lying on the edge of the balcony and fell asleep. And a figure was leaning over on Boss Wu's chest, trembling, this person still had a rope attached to his feet, it was none other than Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu reflected the moonlight, lying on her son's chest, her back arched, and her head sinking. Qi Mu held his breath and leaned over to look aside, only to see Mrs. Wu sticking out her tongue and licking Boss Wu's chest. Her tongue was so long that it was beyond what a normal person could stick out.
This scene is really weird and terrifying, Qi Mu's brows furrowed, Mrs. Wu suddenly turned around and lay on the ground, followed by a squeak, followed by a squeak, followed her slowly towards the balcony, stepped out with one foot, and was about to jump out of the window.
