Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Ghost Carries the Water (I)

Hu Zhishu's words made me and Wujin suddenly wake up, yes, Grandma Wei is a lonely old man, how can there be a girl to cook for her? And Grandma Wei is now in her eighties, if she has a daughter, she should be about sixty years old now, and her sixties are not a young age, this, this is outrageous...... I didn't get around this bend, fortunately, Hu Zhishu woke up, otherwise I was still struggling with the question of whether Grandma Wei was crazy, and now it seems that Grandma Wei is really crazy!

When the master heard this, he couldn't help but glance at me, and thought for a moment before saying, "Ergou and Wujin, you go to Grandma Wei's house again, since she has a good impression of the two of you, then you can ask for the origin of the water source." ”

"Huh?" I opened my mouth in a daze, and then said with a bitter face, "Master, this task is too arduous!" How can such an important matter be left to the two of us to complete? I...... I don't think I can finish it......" said so, in fact, I was a little jealous of Grandma Wei, fighting with ghosts, I just need to shake off the shelf and slash and slash, and I only need to go straight to the point when competing with people, but let me go around with an eighty-year-old woman, and this old woman may be a madman.

It's so embarrassing.

The master frowned and said, "Don't you think that the master has always paid not enough attention to you?" Isn't it a testament to the importance that you are doing such an important thing now? Besides, such a difficult task can sharpen your will, go ahead, if you can't ask for a result, don't come back! "I didn't expect Master to throw a death order at the end, this is really the rhythm of rushing ducks to the shelves.

I turned my head to look at Hu Qingxuan with a bitter face, but Hu Qingxuan kept scratching his forehead with his head down, as if he was ignoring me. Looking at it, I suddenly smiled: "Master, are you joking?" I knew you would have a better arrangement for such a difficult task, wouldn't you? ”

"Huh?!"

Suddenly, I heard Master's angry snort, and I was so frightened that I turned around and ran. And Wujin also ran out with his head down, and when he arrived outside the door, he immediately asked: "Brother Ergou, your master and my uncle are too serious, right?" It sounds like a joke, why do you get deflated when you ask again? However, your master and my uncle are quite in the opposite direction with my master's temper. Hearing Wujin's words, I couldn't help but smile.

"My master is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, in fact, he would have joked, but the number of ways he joked was not understood by ordinary people." I smiled and said casually, "But my master sometimes has a good vision, and such a difficult task can only be accomplished by me." With that, I solemnly patted my chest, and then straightened my clothes.

Wujin pouted and said, "Brother Ergou, it seems that you are quite sure, Grandma Wei is probably a madman, maybe we won't be able to ask anything." Besides, what if she asks us to eat that sugar cake again? Do we eat or not? If you want me to say, I don't dare to eat anything from Grandma Wei's house, you can see Hu Laohun and his wife, just drinking a sip of water from Grandma Wei's house, it became like this, and in the end, it took so much effort from your master and my master to save it, and the pain they endured is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear! ”

"Nonsense!" I glared at Wujin angrily, and then said: "Of course I won't take the initiative to eat, but I can only try to do it, if I really can't help it, I can only sacrifice my stomach." It's a big deal to pull two more, it's dinner time now, let's go at this time, I'll meet Grandma Wei cooking dinner soon, if you want to say that you don't eat her things, it's probably impossible to do it at this time, it's better to ......"

"Why don't you do it?" Wujin stared at me reverently, as if he had been impressed by my profound wisdom.

I pursed my lips and said casually: "Let's stroll around for a while, and then go to Grandma Wei's house when the time for dinner is over in the evening, first we can stagger dinner, and then we will say that we have eaten dinner and will not eat anything." I think if we don't eat anything, Grandma Wei is so old that she can't do anything to the two of us. Well, that's it, let's go! ”

Having made up our minds, Wujin and I slipped to sleep on the haystack at the back of the village for a while, and it was not until it was dark that we staggered back to the village. First came to the gate of Grandma Wei's courtyard and took a look, but found that there was no light in Grandma Wei's thatched house, but the door of the thatched house was open, maybe there was no oil lamp in Grandma Wei's house? Well, this maybe, thinking of this, I immediately urged Wujin: "You go in first, I'll look around and observe." ”

"Uh...... Brother Ergou, I'm me, I'll go in first? Wujin asked in a trembling voice.

I suddenly sighed softly, "What words? What do you tell you to go in alone, of course I will go in, but you walk in front and I walk behind, in case there is a situation, I can pull you out in time, you think about it, in case you walk behind, I encounter any situation, you can't react, right? Hearing my words, Wujin nodded as if he didn't understand, but he still stubbornly walked in with his head down.

, in fact, I'm really scared, but it's a good combination to let Wujin walk in front and I take care of it in the back. If something really happens to him, I can really drag him out as soon as possible. While thinking wildly, I looked around intently, but, until I came to the yard with Wujin, there was still no movement, I stared at the door of the thatched house in surprise, could it be that Grandma Wei had not come out of the house all along?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly pushed Wujin to go inside, and the closer Wujin was to the door of the thatched house, the more resistant he became, and finally, we still came to the door of the thatched house. Wujin trembled, and asked me in a low voice, "Brother Ergou, what should I do now?" Is Grandma Wei already asleep, if she is already asleep, then let's just go back and forget it......"

"Goodbye, what so much nonsense!" I also whispered a response, but I said in a reprimanding tone: "Don't forget, the two of us promised when we came, we can't go back without asking for a result!" ”

Wujin hurriedly flashed to my side, and said with a bitter face: "Brother Ergou, the person who promises, but you, I haven't promised." ”

"Fart!" I stretched out my hand and pushed five catties, and then said: "I promise that it is equivalent to your promise, don't forget that we belong to the same Maoshan faction, the same root and the same origin, besides, I am in seniority, or your senior brother, do you listen to the words of the senior brother?" ”

"Listen ......" Wujin lowered his head silently, but retorted after a second thought: "But, but I'm also afraid of ......"

I sighed softly, and then I glanced at the dark room, and when I looked inside from the outside, I could hardly see anything, and the more I did it, the more terrifying it became. It's really hard to see five catties, so I had to say: "Okay, let's go in together, by the way, I'll ask Grandma Wei if she is in the house first, otherwise the two of us will go in recklessly, and then annoy Grandma Wei, and it won't be good to be kicked out!" ”

Wujin agreed with his mouth full of words, and nodded heavily. I strengthened my courage and cleared my throat again before I asked solemnly, "Is Grandma Wei at home?" I'm Li Ergou, I just met in Grandma Wei's small kitchen last night, and now Ergou has come to visit Grandma Wei, Grandma Wei, are you at home? As I said this, I didn't forget to feel my probe inside, getting closer and closer until I stepped my foot into the threshold.

And Wujin kept holding my arm tightly, as if I was afraid that I would run away halfway. When I came to the West House, I saw that there were only some simple furniture, some shabby farm tools, and nothing else. It's just that it's dark in this room, why doesn't Grandma Wei light the lights? Wujin and I walked slowly in here, but walking around, we didn't see Grandma Wei in this West House, but there was an inner room......

There was no door in the inner room, just a door frame, and it was even darker inside, and it could even be said that you couldn't see your fingers. Although there was a small window on the wall of the inner room, but the small window was pasted with an extremely worn tarpaulin, coupled with the perennial smoke, it was no longer transparent, my heart tugged, I strengthened my courage again, and shouted to the inner room in a low voice: "Is Grandma Wei at home?" Grandma Wei? ”

After shouting twice, I helplessly turned my head to look at Wujin, and Wujin was also at a loss and said, "Grandma Wei shouldn't be asleep, right?" Just forgot to close the door. "Hearing Wujin's words, I think it's possible, but Wujin and I came with a task, and if we don't complete the task, it's not easy to explain when we go back. After a moment's hesitation, I had to take a few steps to the door of the inner room, stopped at the door, and shouted again.

But this time he shouted, but he still didn't get a response from Grandma Wei, and there was not even a little movement in the inner room. This is difficult to do, Wujin and I are here to do something, but we didn't even find Grandma Wei's person anywhere, but it was pitch black, and Grandma Wei didn't know whether she was crazy or stupid, in case she couldn't get in or out, it would be troublesome. Thinking of this, I hurriedly turned my head and said, "Since we can't find Grandma Wei, let's just go back first, and come back tomorrow!" ”

Hearing this, Wujin nodded hurriedly: "I think Brother Ergou, you are right, we can come during the day, there is no need to come at night, this room is pitch black, and it is too crazy!" ”
