Chapter 16: The Unexpected
Night is gradually falling, the oil lamp in the Liujiatang house is lit, reflecting a withered yellow and faint light, however, the two corpses on the ground are revealing a touch of seeping white, although one of them still has breath, but at this moment, who can say that he is not separated by yin and yang?
If Old Man Liu knows that his son Liu Wang's soul has been included in the soul altar by the master, I don't know whether it is happy or sad, the master did this, it is not difficult to understand, heaven and earth have their own checks and balances, the Liu family will encounter such a catastrophe, it is actually caused by cause and effect, the so-called predecessors planted trees and later people take advantage of the cool, the predecessors did evil and the descendants suffered, everything has a cause and effect, if the master helps the Liu family through the current difficulties for no reason, I am afraid that the Liu family will have greater difficulties in the future, in order to completely end this matter, Only the Liu family exchanged it with sincerity.
But by doing so, Master was a bit of a delay.
After all, Liu Wang is in danger, maybe a slight deviation, he will completely lack skills, sometimes I really can't understand why the master does things step by step, on the surface it seems to be out of order, but in fact, it is a board and a glance, and there is no human affection at all.
After a while, the burnt corn porridge and two plates of meat and vegetarian dishes, as well as a small basket of nest heads, were brought to the table by Old Man Liu, the master smiled and stroked his beard, ordered some empty bowls and said, "There is food and no wine, it is not sincere enough!" ”
"Yes! Yes! Old man Liu nodded breathlessly, hurriedly turned around and walked into the inner room, and after a while, he walked out with a jar of dusty old wine, the old smoke pot couldn't bear to look at the staggering old man Liu, just wanted to step forward to help, but was glared at by the master angrily, and had to sigh angrily...... "Old man, this is the old wine stored at home, not as good as the famous wine outside, you ...... Don't dislike ......"
"Well, don't dislike it, it's good to have wine!"
The master smiled with satisfaction, opened the stopper, put it to his mouth and smelled it, immediately poured a big bowl deliciously, took the "Gu Dong Gu Dong" and poured it into his stomach, then rubbed his stomach, and said with a smile: "It's still pure sorghum wine that tastes good enough, okay, Brother Liu, please take a seat with your brother and sister, let's have dinner!" ”
"This ......"
The old smoke pot was immediately stunned, walked forward awkwardly, and asked, "I said...... I said, brother, you guys, you're just going to eat? ”
"Yes! How? Why don't you let you eat the meal when it's ready?! ”
The master muttered, motioned for me to help help Liu Mu take a seat, and poured a big bowl of spirits and tasted it deliciously, while Jia Tiangui on the side also sat honestly on the master's side, picked up the nest head and nibbled on it.
It was the old smoke pot, smacking his lips, looking at the wine bowl in the master's hand, and kept swallowing saliva...... "Then, then you can eat, I'll go home!" ”
"Hahaha! Don't be awkward, your face is still so thin when you are old, come and come, meeting is fate, let's have a few drinks! The master grabbed the arm of the old smoke pot, forcibly pulled him to him, and found a bench for him to sit down, the old smoke pot old face turned red, and his mouth was indistinct and he smiled bitterly: "You are really an old naughty boy......
As soon as Liu's mother sat down, she picked up the nest head and ate it, looking at her hungry appearance, I didn't feel a sour nose, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Liu's mother and Liu's old man have raised their sons so far, and they haven't enjoyed the joy of family, so they ended up like this, which is really emotional......
After three bowls of wine, Lao Yanguozi hurriedly stopped the master from pouring wine again, shook his head and said, "Brother, although you are a member of the Taoist Sect and a monk, I still call you Brother, Brother...... You see that this family is not easy, you see this thing of saving people......"
I didn't expect the old smoke pot to talk about wine, and he actually got close to the master, but instead of correcting him, the master patted the old smoke pot on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Liu Wang, this kid can't die if he sleeps for a while, when we finish eating, let Tiangui and Xiaojiu go to the old shitman's house and take the soul altar, Liu Wang's soul, isn't there?" Hehe......"
"Huh? Uncle Shi, I ...... I'm not going, am I? For such a major matter, is it good to let Uncle Shi go alone? "What surprised me was that Jia Tiangui, who was drinking porridge, actually stood up and said with a panicked expression.
"Senior nephew, do you have a leg problem?" I put down the bowl and asked, confused.
"Uncle Shi, my legs are very good!"
Jia Tiangui sneered and gave me a blank look.
"That's corns on your feet?" I asked again.
"Uncle Shi, what do you mean by this? Of course not! I'm in good health! ”
Jia Tiangui deliberately moved his body and motioned to show me.
"That's strange, since your legs and feet are fine, why can't you walk back to the old shitman's house to get a soul altar? Or don't you want to go the same way with my uncle? I asked in a cold voice, thought for a moment, and then said, "What are you afraid of?" I'm afraid that the old will wake up at this moment and recognize who you are?! ”
"You! Uncle Shi, in front of Uncle Shi, if you have anything to say, if you have any dissatisfaction with the juniors, it doesn't hurt to say it directly, but please speak a little bit of proportion, don't slander the juniors! ”
Jia Tiangui's face turned cold, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"Yo? I didn't say that you killed people, nor did I say that you set fires, so how can I slander you? I smiled and shook my head, this Jia Tiangui is really getting more and more uncontrollable, at this moment, I am more and more suspicious, Wang Cuicui's death, he is the most suspicious!
"Don't make any noise!"
The master blew his beard and shouted angrily, "You two go together, no one can be lazy!" ”
"Yes!" I replied heavily, and at this moment, I saw the master glance at me without a trace, I was slightly surprised, but I failed to understand what the master meant, the master's expression was obviously slightly a strange smile, my heart was hot, and I immediately reacted and responded with a strange smile.
"Yes......"
As soon as the master said this, Jia Tiangui had to respectfully admit it, hesitated, but still didn't dare to say anything, looking at the half bowl of corn porridge on the table, Jia Tiangui sighed lightly, turned around and walked out, I just wanted to sit down and eat the rest, but when I saw the master, I glanced at me and said, "Tiangui is busy with work, are you still going to eat?" ”
"Oh......"
I responded angrily, turned around and followed, the cold moonlight, hanging in the sky, vaguely illuminating the path of the countryside for us, Jia Tiangui walked in front without saying a word, and I followed cautiously behind, this kid is too suspicious, in case I give me a return pistol, I was caught off guard, but I still can't understand, why he doesn't want to go back to the old's house, is it really as I guessed, the old might recognize him as the real murderer? !
For me and the arrival of the master, Jia Tiangui was taken off guard, so it was inevitable that there would be this mistake, he expected that the old's "madness" would cover everything, who knew that the master easily resolved the matter, and now the old is about to wake up, he is not panicking, but ...... I always feel that something is wrong, it seems that something is still missing, or something I didn't expect, as for what it is, I don't know, at the moment, I can only follow Master's instructions, get Liu Wang's soul as soon as possible, let Master wake up Liu Wang, and then figure out the origin of everything step by step!
"Senior nephew, it's an old egg after two steps away, why did you stop?" Looking back at Jia Tiangui, who was gradually staying, I asked suspiciously.
"Oh! Uncle Shi, you take the first step, my foot is broken! Jia Tiangui replied with a panicked expression, and barely squeezed out a smile.
"Hmm." I nodded slightly, estimating that the front is the old's house, even if Jia Tiangui is cunning, he can't avoid the confrontation with the old, it's better for me to go in first to find the old, let the old shitman see this sanctimonious Jia Daochang in person, think about it, I quickly rushed into the old's yard, but the moment I walked into the yard, suddenly a black shadow passed by me, I was shocked and pinched out the sword, and before I could hit it, I saw the black shadow disappear without a trace...... "Is it because I'm dazzled?" But I obviously feel the yin qi, or is it a lonely ghost? Well, maybe I'm thinking too much! ”
Approaching the door of the old's hall, I saw that it was pitch black inside, and there was not even an oil lamp, and suddenly, I frowned, took a deep breath of air, and immediately exclaimed, "Bloody breath?!" ”
Instantly rushed into the old's stove house, found a dilapidated fire fold, and when the fire light lit up little by little, I slowly walked into the hall, however, everything I saw in front of me made my fingers tremble, and the fire fold fell to the ground, and at the same time, my legs weakened, and I sat down paralyzed-
