What originally seemed to be a very simple matter became complicated in an instant. The sky outside was inexplicably gloomy, and the second half of the night was extraordinarily long, Zhou Tong and his wife didn't sleep, and Master and I naturally didn't go to rest. Next, we each started doing our own thing.

Zhou Tong went to invite the land lord to come back, while I went to the foot of the back mountain to find out the truth about Liu Ni's haunting. In fact, I want to see how Wang Laourine is doing, such an old man, who is he provoking whom? first suffered an injustice, then his son ran away, and his daughter-in-law also died, alas, coupled with a body of illness, this old man is really aggrieved......

I skipped some breakfast and rushed towards the back mountain, and at this time the villagers had not yet gotten up early, especially early in the morning, and a gray-white mist rose around Lotus Village, swirling around. Looking at this Lotus Village from a distance, it is like a fairyland, but now it looks completely different from the scene and feeling when I first came to Lotus Village last night.

Even if it is a beautiful scenery, even if it is an elegant fairyland, if the hearts of the people who exist here are cold, then any scenery will be eclipsed.

I left the village, crossed the pond, and went straight to the bottom of the hill behind, where there were a few fields, but more were deserted. Perhaps most of the people here make a living from fishing and don't have much time to take care of their crops. However, some families do not rarely farm, but some families rarely farm but have no fields to plant. Man...... It's always so unfair......

After walking for a while, I didn't see the so-called melon orchard, but I think about it, it was Wang Laourine who planted watermelons in the early years, and now that so much time has passed, and this time Wang Laourine hid in the thatched house of the melon garden, not to plant watermelons. Probably to avoid the gossip that disturbed his purity, and of course, the recent series of murders. He is an old man with limited mobility, if he doesn't hide away, even if Zhou Tong goes crazy, he can kill him at any time.

Zhou Tong is actually honest and kind, but there are many deaths in the family, and his favorite son almost died, and there is a mysterious death gas affecting his family's home, making the two of them violent and irrational, so they did the ridiculous thing of going to the door desperately.

To say that the cause of many things in this world is nothing more than a heart that is blinded, and the deceived things may be hatred, anger, or deception, but no matter what it is, once it is covered by those things, then the person is considered to be useless, and he is completely led by the nose by those negative effects. Along the way, I was thinking about it in a mess, and I really felt sorry for this picturesque village.

You said a good place, a good person, and just live a good life! I have to make so many things, damn it!

He looked up suddenly, but saw a small thatched hut sitting beside a small ditch not far away. The thatched hut is not far behind, but there are two small hills! Well, if Zhou Tong is right, Wang Laourine is designated to live here, I frowned, but I saw that the door of the thatched house was open, could it be that Wang Laourine had already gotten up? After thinking about it, I looked up at the sky, the sky at this moment was really gloomy, no wonder it had been dawn for so long, and the sun still hadn't come out.

There was a lot of fog all around, and the weeds on the ground, as if covered with a layer of white frost, were falling...... Not long after, it's another winter.

I walked slowly to Wang Lao's thatched hut, looked inside, and immediately smelled a pungent smell of herbs. It smells of herbs, so it can be seen that there are really people living in it!

Sure enough, there was a coughing sound from inside, and it was an old man. I cleared my throat and asked respectfully, "Is this where Uncle Wang lives?" ”

After a long while, I heard an old voice coming from inside: "Which one are you?" ”

The old man's voice has a strong Huai'an accent, but the words can still be understood. I hesitated for a moment, and immediately said with a smile: "My name is Li Ergou, and my master has passed through your Lotus Village, and now I am at the foot of Lotus Village, I heard that Uncle Wang's health is not very good, and my master is proficient in medical skills, let me see how your old symptoms are, if so, my master can diagnose and treat your old man." The right should be to repay your Lotus Village for the kindness of containment, hehe! ”

I didn't have anything to say, I deliberately set it up, but I really couldn't find anything to say. If I say that we live in your neighbor Zhou Tong's house now, then Wang Laourine will definitely not let me in to talk, he and Zhou Tong's house are now well water and river water, almost to the point of life and death, how can I mention Zhou Tong at the beginning......

However, Wang Lao's reaction immediately afterward, still surprised me...... "Lotus Village!" It's Lotus Village again! My Wang Lao Urine has nothing to do with Lotus Village now, so you treat me as not a person from Lotus Village! I don't need you to be so kind to see a doctor for me, you can go! ”

"Uh......"

I didn't expect this old man to have a good temper, but think about it, if anyone encounters such a family matter, he will not be able to bear it. And Wang Lao's urine can support a handful of old bones to live until now, which is really embarrassing.

I thought about it for a while, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Wang, since you hate the people of Lotus Village so much, it's okay, I'm not from Lotus Village, I'm just a passer-by from other places." Can...... Can I go in and have a cup of tea and take a break? ”

“…… I don't have boiling water to entertain here! ”

After a long while, I heard the voice of Wang Lao's urine soothing slightly.

When I heard this, I hurriedly walked in with a smile, and said casually: "This is easy to do, I'll burn it myself!" By the way, this is a little breakfast I brought to your old man, don't think about it, this is the heart of a guest from out of town, you have a lot of inconvenience here, don't shirk it. As I said this, I turned my head to look around, a slightly spacious thatched hut, with a simple stove against the wall to the west and a small dilapidated bed against the wall to the east.

On the small bed were two pairs of dirty bedding, and Wang Lao, who had a sallow and pale face, was lying on the bed leaning against the back wall, his face was withered, his face was full of wrinkles, and a pair of cloudy old eyes, without any luster. He seemed to be surprised when he saw me come in, but when he looked at me and saw the breakfast I was carrying, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing.

I put down my breakfast and immediately went to fetch water and came back to boil it. But seeing that I really lit a fire to boil water, Wang Laourine asked in disbelief: "You, do you really want to boil water?" ”

"Yes, Uncle Wang, your body and bones are maintained by herbs, if you don't have a sip of water to drink, then you don't even have medicinal water."

I said with a smile and continued to fill the firewood.

After taking a deep look at me, Wang Laourine couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, you young man is kind, and I can see it." But where do I have medicine...... After you drink some water later, let's go, I'm in trouble now, don't bother you. It's good to go early! After saying that, Wang Laourine didn't pay attention to me anymore. I glanced around, and sure enough, I saw a medicine jar behind the door, and I saw a pinch of medicine residue poured next to the medicine jar, and it seemed that Wang Lao Urine couldn't even eat the medicine.

But the purpose of my coming here is to visit Wang Lao's illness, and second, to investigate the matter of Wang Lao's daughter-in-law Liu Ni, the second is the most critical, but Wang Lao's urine is obviously unkind, and he has to push me out, I can't talk about it, if I go straight to the topic and ask about Liu Ni's haunting, I'm afraid Wang Laourine will definitely kick me out. So what should I do?

It can be seen that Wang Laourine is a master who does not eat soft and hard, and now he is alone, his son has run away, and his daughter-in-law is dead.

After boiling the water and putting it in the kettle, I helped Wang Lao to sit up and brought breakfast to him. Wang Lao Urine may be really hungry, and he is not polite, he will eat it if he takes it, and he thinks about it, he doesn't even have someone to take care of him, it is good that he doesn't gnaw the bark and eat the grass roots. After breakfast, instead of saying a word of thanks, Wang Laourine stared at me suspiciously: "No, although you are passing by from other places, you will not take care of me like this old man, not to mention that you are here for the first time, and I am also the first time to see you, we have nothing to do with each other, you, you must have some purpose, right?" Tell me, what do you want from my Wang Lao Urine? You also saw that I have nothing now, by the way, there is a house in Lotus Village, what do you want, go in and have a look, take everything you can......"

"Uh...... Uncle Wang, look at what you said, what can I do as a footwalker? What can I ask of you? ”

"What? Are you a Taoist priest?! ”

Before I finished speaking, Wang Laourine suddenly stared at me again, interrupted me, and then said, "You, do you want to...... I can tell you, my daughter-in-law Liu Ni has endured hardships all her life, and now she is so sad to be a ghost, if you still have a little kindness, let her go, don't be embarrassed for her! I know that the people in the village can't tolerate my daughter-in-law now, but they don't know that my daughter-in-law is really filial...... It's even more filial than a girl...... Woowoo woo ......"

I didn't think that Wang Lao's brain was very good, and he just recognized me as a Taoist priest, and immediately beware that I was dealing with his daughter-in-law. And as he spoke, he was in tears and cried into a tearful person...... As the saying goes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Zhou Tong is like this, why is Wang Lao Urine not like this?

"Uncle Wang, don't get me wrong, I'm not here to deal with your daughter-in-law, and no one asks me to deal with your daughter-in-law!"

I hurriedly explained.
