Chapter 142: News of the Grimace Bodhisattva
We walked through the woods for most of the day according to the sun's rise and west, and finally walked out to the outskirts of the city.
Yao Meng separated from me, saying that he was going back to Yaomen, and asked me to send Tai Sui to the eldest girl alone.
The eldest girl is going to leave the hall soon, and the time is relatively rushed, but I don't go to the hall frizzy, for fear of being targeted by the Mo family.
After all, the Mo family suffered a big loss this time, and they will definitely find a way to retaliate again.
And they can also guess that we snatched Tai Sui for the sake of the big girl, and they can't find us. Will definitely be staring at the aunt's side.
Originally, it was the most convenient and fastest to get there by train, but in order to avoid people's eyes, I didn't take the train, but went to take the bus. During this period, you need to transfer many times, go around and around, and take a lot of unjust roads, but this is safe.
What's more difficult is that the money I have on hand is just enough for the cost of the ride, and I bought a few steamed buns and a bag of pickles for a total of two days to transfer to another car.
The pain of hunger is really unbearable. It can really drive people crazy.
On that day, it was already five o'clock when I got off the bus, and it was already dark at that time in winter, and I was hungry, but I was penniless, so I could only walk to the entrance of the medicine gate.
Luckily, I have a good memory. I could barely remember the location of the entrance to the hall, but after turning around for a while, I finally found the place.
I stayed here for a few days a few days ago, and the people in the hall also saw me, and knew that I was a friend of the eldest girl, and it was more welcome to see me come here again.
The people at the entrance of the hall took me in, and I was not polite, but sat down and gasped as I spoke.
"I'm starving, do you have anything to eat?"
One of them, an uncle in his forties, is still relatively kind and enthusiastic.
"Yes, I just cooked a meal, but it's just an ordinary meal, or I'll go to the restaurant next door and order a table for you..."
Without waiting for him to finish, I immediately shouted: "No, no, as long as there is something to eat, if you really can't give me a steamed bun." "
Now that life is better, few people will be hungry like this.
Uncle is in his forties, and he has also experienced difficult times and knows what it is like to go hungry.
Seeing that I was really hungry, he immediately ran out, and said as he ran, "Okay, wait a minute, and I'll be back immediately." "
It didn't take him a minute before he returned, holding a bowl of stewed cabbage in his hand and three steamed buns in his hand.
I don't care about my image. Almost snatched it from his hands.
After eating a large bowl of vegetables and three steamed buns in one go, I became comfortable.
When I didn't feel hungry anymore, my mentality and sanity returned to normal, and I first thanked them for the food with some embarrassment.
The uncle was a gatekeeper and a simple farmer, and he just shook his head and smiled to show his understanding for my thanks.
Subsequently, the person who really belonged to the medicine sect, a woman who seemed very intellectual, I don't know her name, but I knew that her surname was Li, and I had dealt with her when I was here.
She asked me where I was going.
"Mr. Chen, is there something wrong with you coming so late?"
I said, "Sister Li, I'm looking for the eldest girl, she hasn't left yet, right?" "
"The eldest girl went to the ghost market before you came, and she may not be able to come back until the second half of the night."
"Ghost market? Did she go to the ghost market to buy something? "
I've been to the ghost market with the drunkard before, and I know that the situation in the ghost market is just the trading and trading of some Taoists.
The woman replied, "I don't know." "
Whether she really didn't know, or didn't trust me, she didn't tell the truth, and I didn't ask.
He only said, "Okay, I'll wait here for her to come back." "
The woman nodded, and said, "The room you lived in before is still empty, why don't you go and rest first, and when the eldest girl comes back, I will tell her that you are here." "
The car ride has really exhausted me these days, so it's good to take a break.
"Thank you very much." I nodded in thanks.
"You're welcome."
She offered to take me there. Let me rest in my room.
I lay on the bed, the tiredness in my body suddenly hit me, and my eyelids became heavy, and I couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep.
Sleep until midnight.
I was woken up by a knock on the door.
After waking up, I walked over and opened the door, took a look, and found that it was Sister Li.
"Sister Li, is the eldest girl back?"
She shook her head and said, "No, at this point in time, the ghost market should almost be dispersed, and it hasn't come back yet." I'm not worried that something will happen, so I'm going to go out and look for it. "
It was originally an eventful season, and the Mo family didn't know what kind of movement would be made.
When I thought about it, I was also worried in my heart, afraid that something would happen to the eldest girl, in case we snatched Tai Sui, and the eldest girl had another accident, it would be a waste of bamboo basket to draw water.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Sister Li stopped me: "No need, you just wait here, maybe the eldest girl will come back soon, I'll just go out with a few people from Tangkou to have a look." I came to you to tell you first, please help take care of the hall if there is anything going on while we are away. Just take care of it a little more. "
I still have Tai Sui on me, and it's not safe to go out, so it's okay to stay.
"Okay, I'll just wait here, you can go and find it, and meet the eldest girl and ask her to come back." I have important things to say to her. "
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, I will definitely bring your words after meeting the eldest girl."
After a few simple words, Sister Li left with a few people from Tangkou and went to the ghost market to find the eldest girl.
I couldn't sleep anymore, so I went to the front hall and waited.
I waited until more than three o'clock in the morning, and the eldest girl did not come back, and the person who went out to look for it did not come back, and my heart became more and more uneasy.
I couldn't sit still, and I walked around the hall with anxiety in my heart.
When it was almost dawn, the door of the hall was opened, and I immediately stared at it. I found out that it was the eldest girl who came back.
When I saw her come back, I was overjoyed and immediately rushed out.
"Big girl, you're back?!"
She was surprised to see me here.
"Hey, why are you here? Isn't it gone? Why did you come back again? "
I looked at her, and there was no sign of a fight, not like she had encountered any special situation, nor did she look like she had experienced danger.
"I'm back again, I have something important to look for you."
