Chapter 19: A Strange Dog Barking
The master hugged his fists: "In Xiayang Yuanshan, the little apprentice and the second dog, we are foot walkers, passing by here, the weather is cloudy and rainy, so we have to stay for two nights, wait for the weather to clear before leaving, by the way, I will inquire about something here with you, that's all." ”
"Well said!" When the guy Hou San heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said: "Mr. Yang, since this is the case, then we are friends, although we live here, I am full of food, it has been raining outside for several days, and it seems that it will be difficult to clear up for a day or two, if you want to inquire about things, just ask me, I will tell you 1510, if you want to say that there is no boundary in Xiangxi that I Hou San does not know, what horns, what gutters and dark alleys......"
"Alright, alright." The master hurriedly interrupted Hou San's swing and said: "It's enough, thank you for the generosity of the Hou three brothers, but our master and apprentice are also disrespectful, let's serve some food first, we haven't had enough food for two days, hehe!" ”
I know very well that Master is not a person who is greedy for small profits, and every time he takes care of other people's affairs, he could have accepted a lot of heavy rewards, but he was politely declined by Master, and he made this way embarrassed, and he couldn't eat enough for three days, but how could Master be so generous to this Hou San this time, and let Hou San break the money once without warning, it is really a strange thing, of course, I am the happiest Master does this, because in this way I can eat and sleep well every day.
"Good! I brought out the food right away. When Hou San heard this, he hurriedly agreed, and after a while, he came out with a hot meal.
Two large bowls of noodles, a few side dishes, and two pots of wine, it was really hearty, Master didn't drink, I immediately accompanied Hou San to drink two glasses, and asked with a smile: "I said Hou San, what does it mean that your inn is 'Tongming'?" ”
Hou San tilted his head as soon as he heard this, and said, "Brother Ergou, isn't this simple?" The meaning of Tongming Inn is that it is open as usual no matter day or night, and it also means that Tongming is promoted by the rising sun, which means that our inn is prosperous in business...... Oh, I'm not going to tell you these useless things, Mr. Yang, now you're eating while talking to me? Am I in a ghost's situation? If I say that I keep vigil all day, maybe I really have encountered a ghost, then what can I do? Mr. Yang, you must save me, you are the Taoist leader, there is nothing you can't do, right? ”
We were eating, Hou San kept nagging endlessly, the more he talked, the more terrifying he said, the more terrifying he said, the more he almost choked with joy, and then I looked at Hou San's aggrieved expression, and couldn't help but say: "Eat without saying a word, my master never says a word more when he eats, or wait for his old man to finish eating and then give you a good explanation and comfort, comfort your wounded heart." ”
"Okay, Mr. Yang just eat, if it's not enough, I'll take it again, our family is a restaurant, and there are other things that don't eat, just eat." Hou San immediately smiled and nodded.
"Alas!" Master didn't finish his meal, he couldn't eat anymore, shook his head and sighed lightly, then put the bowl down, and said, "No matter how anxious you are, don't be in a hurry at this time, we won't run, you are not finished, if you don't let me eat, I'll leave now!" ”
"Eat, eat, eat! Mr. Yang, you eat, you eat, eat is important......" Hou San suddenly stepped aside in embarrassment, but soon he lay on the counter aggrievedly, holding his head in his hands, and staring at the master with his eyes, as if he was afraid that the master would run away.
I was so hungry that I had never eaten enough with the master, this time I really let go of eating, after eating a meal, the clothes on my body were almost warmed and dried, seeing the master put down the dishes and chopsticks, Hou San suddenly ran over and asked eagerly: "Mr. Yang, you have eaten now, is it time to talk about it?" I'm in a hurry! ”
Master looked at Hou San and smiled: "Okay, but after I finish speaking, you can't entangle anymore, let me sleep, I'm sleepy all the way." ”
"The best rooms are waiting!" Hou San immediately pointed upstairs and said.
Master nodded slightly, and continued: "Tell me first, are your dreams intermittent, but they are all connected, saying that there are many nightmares, but they are actually one scene, right?" ”
"That's right! That's right! Hou San's eyes widened suddenly, looked at the master in shock, and said: "Mr. Yang, you are really a living immortal, you can see my dreams, alas, it is true, I have slept several times in the middle of the night, intermittently, but I always meet a female ghost in my dreams, which looks too scary, with green fangs...... Chase me all the way, no matter where I run, she will chase me! Mr. Yang, what do you think is going on? ”
The master frowned and said, "Tell me again, who has lived in your inn on weekdays?" ”
"This ......" Hou San immediately lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "Our inn does not refuse any guests, from all directions, there are all kinds of things, such as outsiders like Mr. Yang, and some businessmen, relatives, and ...... who travel in the mountains and rivers."
"No, I'm referring to people with more special professions." The master waved his hand to interrupt Hou San's words, and said with a frown: "For example, those who chase corpses, or some more unusual people." ”
"That won't!" Hou Santeng stood up suddenly, and said solemnly: "Although we do not refuse guests from all directions, but those who touch the mold naturally can't live in our inn. ”
Looking at Hou San's innocent expression, the master shook his head and said, "Then what are the guests in the inn now?" ”
When Hou San heard this, he said without thinking: "It has been raining non-stop in the past few days, there are a lot fewer customers, and there are few guests, there are four people selling goods in the upper room, and there is a middle-aged man from out of town in the middle room, with a young girl, who said that he came to the nearby village to find relatives, and there are seven or eight fishermen who hold boats in the lower room, and they will leave early tomorrow morning." ”
"Master, do you suspect that any of these people has brought in unclean things?" I asked, confused.
"Well, at the beginning, the teacher also thought so, but Hou San's situation is extraordinary, and his blood-light disaster is still a star calamity!" Master nodded, but shook his head again.
"Starshatter Tribulation?!" When Hou San heard this, he couldn't sit still for a moment, hurried back and forth on the ground, and asked anxiously, "Mr. Yang, what is the Star Tribulation?" Isn't it the kind of ...... of the dead?"
"Yes!" The master nodded seriously, and when I heard the master's answer, I suddenly realized, no wonder the master wanted to let Hou San break the cost, dare to love the master to help Hou San get through this calamity, the master thought about it and said: "The calamity of the stars, the main order rushes, seeing the blood and light, there is no power to return to the sky, and I can conclude that it will be within these two days, but since you have met me, I have eaten your food again, and I will not let you have anything to do, hehe!" ”
Hou San nodded hurriedly: "Although Mr. Yang eats me and lives on mine, I will cover it all, but Mr. Yang, you want to save me, so what should I do in the past two days?" ”
Master smiled and shook his head: "It's difficult, it's difficult, it's as hard as the sky, but I said, I won't let you die, you won't die, as long as I'm here for the next two days, you'll be fine, but you have to pay attention to one thing, and you must do it, otherwise I won't be able to save you even if I don't leave!" ”
"What's the matter?!"
I asked almost at the same time as Hou San.
I'm curious, what exactly should Hou San have to do to survive the disaster?
Master got up and stretched, and said casually, "You must not approach any woman for these two days, remember my words, by the way, where is our room?" I'm going to sleep. ”
After speaking, the master walked upstairs step by step, and Hou San was still in place repeating the master's words, after a while, Hou San hurriedly turned around and chased up, I also followed upstairs, Hou San was really not a little childish, and directly opened a first-class room for us, which had hot water and a spacious and comfortable bed, enough for me and the master to sleep, arranged for us, Hou San still refused to leave, his expression was a little strange, as if he was thinking about something, but I didn't know what he was thinking, after a while, he walked to the master's side, He asked, "Mr. Yang, can you tell me what kind of woman can't approach?" ”
The master waved his hand angrily, motioned for Hou San to leave, and said casually: "I said, you can't approach any woman in the past two days, and you can't get closer, you know?" ”
Hou San seemed to hear it, and he didn't seem to hear it, but at this time, there was a dog barking suddenly from the backyard, and I ran to the back wall window to look into the yard, a big black dog chained was barking at the front, presumably it was this big black dog who barked before.
Hearing the barking of the dog, Hou San hurriedly said: "I remember Mr. Yang's words, I must do it, there must be a guest outside, I will go and say hello, Mr. Yang and the second dog brothers wash and rest early, and I will bring the food in when I eat tomorrow." ”
"I'm tired." The master agreed, watched Hou San walk out of the door, and closed the door, before turning back to me and saying: "Ergou, let's leave in three days, you pay more attention to Hou San in the past two days, don't let him really respond to the calamity, his calamity, if he can get by, it can be regarded as his creation, if he can't get by, it is also his fate, alas! ”
Hearing this, I was suddenly a little surprised, and said, "Master, is Hou San's calamity really so serious?" I thought you were trying to trick him into two days of food and lodging......"
