Chapter 24: Vampire Imp 1
After a thrilling battle with Tujiao, Tujiao was finally destroyed by a heavenly fire.
The Chen father and son returned to the house, and finally lived a few days of dull life, but the villagers found that the two of them rarely went out recently.
In fact, don't look at Chen Laogou not going out during this time, but he is too busy, and he will burn talismans at home every day......
In order to treat the old man Chilong, who had been sealed in his body by Tujiao for more than 20 years, after seven days of treatment, Chilong had recovered some of his vitality at this time, and his state was much better than before.
In order to cure the red dragon, Chen Laogou asked the pigtail to buy many eggs laid by old hens that were more than three years old for the red dragon to eat.
After this period of soul-fixing spells, he ate a lot of food full of vitality, and although the red dragon at this time did not recover his previous mana, he could at least move and cultivate freely!
"Well, it'll be back in three months." Chen Xiaobraid watched his father spend all his thoughts on the red dragon, and his heart was still a little sour at first, but seeing that this big snake was becoming more and more energetic, he was sincerely happy for it.
"Stinky boy." "What?" "Go and buy me some eggs from old hens that are more than three years old, rice wine and cinnabar." However, this joy will be beaten back to the bottom by his father's procurement requirements every time.
"Dad, do you know how much money we have in our family? If we continue like this, we will have to borrow money to live! Seeing that the family's money was lost, Chen Xiaobraid was very helpless.
Some time ago, in order to fight the earth, I put all the belongings in the family, but all of them were wasted, and I lost all my money. During this time, the two of them have no income, and if this continues, their life is really worrying!
Looking at the poor jingle home, Chen Xiaobraid was full of powerlessness, although the things that Dad wanted were not too expensive, but he had to have money to buy them! Chen Xiaobraid didn't want his father to bother, so he thought of a way.
"Braid, how many things do you have to sell? I had to drive over and pull it. Chen Xiaobraid stood at the door and waited for a while, and sure enough, a middle-aged man riding a motorized tricycle arrived as promised.
"Sixth uncle, you don't know, my family opened a factory some time ago, and now there are a lot of things!"
"You kid is not serious, I don't know your family yet? What kind of factory can you open in your family? ”
The person who came was Lu Lao Liu from the waste collection station in the west of the village, and the young people in the village called him Uncle Six. Chen Xiaobraid made an appointment with Uncle Sixth last night, saying that he had a lot of things to sell at home. also specially instructed the sixth uncle to drive over......
"Yo! This is really a factory. ”
"I'll just say it! When did I lie to you, Uncle Six, we have only used these things once, you have to give a good price, don't fool us. ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Chen's house, he was greatly surprised by Lu Laoliu, it turned out that Chen Xiaobraid saw that his family had no money in the past few days, so he was ready to sell the copper rods, cables, generators and other things that he had prepared when he was fighting Tujiao, and he was talking about it for a while.
"These things are worth a little money if they are brought to the city to sell old goods, but they are not worth a few dollars in the hands of me, a rag collector!"
"I've already calculated how much it will cost to get to the city."
It is said that Chen Xiaobraid, who is shrewd in accounting matters, certainly understands that it is the least cost-effective for these things to sell scrap iron.
"Yes, then there is no way, two pounds of iron a piece, and more copper, but a total of eight hundred!"
His father bought these things with more than 10,000 yuan from the family, but when he sold scrap iron, it was not a star and a half! Chen Xiaobraid's heart hurts more than a knife.
"Okay, since you have decided to sell it, help me load it into the car together!"
"Sixth uncle, let's see if you are giving more!"
"How much money can I make as a ragged collector? I'll lose if I give more, and I'll give you a thousand and one at most. ”
"One thousand two! This can still be used with cables. ”
But there was no other choice at the moment, so Chen Xiaobraid had to help Lu Lao Liu load things into the car while his heart was dripping blood. After some bargaining, I finally sold all these things that I had spent a lot of money on for 1,200 yuan! Don't mention the taste in Chen Xiaobraid's heart.
"Alas, it's not the right time to sell, the purchase price is low during this time, and it was only high a few days ago! Otherwise, it can be sold for a few hundred more. Lu Laoliu's words stabbed Chen Xiaobraid's sadness again. However, this more than 1,000 yuan can make the Chen family father and son last for a while, although they are distressed, but there is no way to do it.
"By the way, pigtails, is your dad at home?" "It's a little uncomfortable in the house, are you okay?" Lu Laoliu finished loading the car and didn't leave immediately, but asked about Chen Laogou's situation, as if he had something to look for him, Chen Xiaobraid knew that his father's thoughts at this time were all on Chilong, so he had to push things off for him.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that my house has been haunted recently, and I want him to help me take a look." Unexpectedly, while Lu Lao Liu was doing the work at hand, he said plainly that he was haunted during the time he went to his house......
"What? Haunted, just tell me about it. ”
"What's the use of telling you."
"I got my father's true inheritance!"
As soon as he heard that it was haunted, Chen Xiaobraid's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to let the sixth uncle tell him in detail. Lu Lao Liu thought about it, then pulled Chen Xiaobraid and sat down under the wall, and lit a cigarette unhurriedly.
"Then I'll tell you kid!" Only then did he tell the details of the haunting of his family during this time to this hairy boy who was less than twenty years old.
This Lu Lao Liu rented a large yard of more than two acres in the west of the village, built a simple warehouse, and started the business of collecting waste products.
The children all grew up and went to work in the city, and his wife died early, so only Lu Laoliu was guarding the acquisition station alone. A few nights ago, when Lu Lao Liu was sleeping......
Suddenly, a baby's cry came from the yard, waking him up, the child's cry was very sharp, it was particularly harsh in the middle of the night, Lu Lao Liu thought about it, how could there be a baby crying in the yard in the middle of the night?
Lu Lao Liu hurriedly got up and looked into the yard, not to mention that he really saw a little baby crawling out of the large warehouse containing waste products.
But when he saw it clearly, Lu Lao Liu understood, it was a ghost! Because the baby was translucent, and his head was covered with green tendons, and his mouth was full of sharp teeth. What is it if it's not a ghost?
"Where did you come from, get out! Otherwise, I'll take boiling water and scald you to death. "Lu Lao Liu knew some martial arts when he was young, and he was almost sixty years old, and he was not afraid of these things, so he immediately ran out and scolded the little ghost.
"Hurry up and get out, if you piss me off, you won't have any good fruit to eat!" As the saying goes, people are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are afraid of people for seven points. This is really not wrong, Lu Lao Liu is bold, this stinky scolding really works, and the little ghost who looks like a baby is really scared by him and disappears.
Seeing that the little ghost was scared away, Lu Lao Liu didn't take it seriously, turned his head and went back to the house to sleep.
Unexpectedly, the little ghost came again the next night, because Lu Lao Liu heard the sound of the child laughing in the middle of the night, and the laughter sounded like more than one child.
The sixth man got up and leaned on the window to look out, which scared him a lot.
Because at the door of the warehouse, in addition to the baby-like ghost, there was a child about three or four years old, but that child was not a ghost......
This child Lu Lao Liu knew that he was the youngest grandson of the old Li family in the east of the village, but at this time, he was obviously unconscious, dumbfounded, and sat there motionless.
Suddenly, as if controlled by the imp, the child stretched out two small hands forward, and the little ghost grabbed the child's little hand, opened its mouth full of fangs, and was about to bite down.
This can scare Lu Lao Liu a lot, no matter what, this little ghost can't be allowed to harm the children of this village!
But at this time, the little ghost had already grabbed the child's hand, squeaked and sucked blood, and looked greedy. The kid was still confused, and didn't react at all.
"Fuck, you still dare to hurt people, see if I don't kill you." Lu Lao Liu rushed out of the house at once, and scolded the little ghost, the little ghost may have been really afraid of him, as soon as he saw him come out, he disappeared into the warehouse with a whoosh.
"Woo woo, Mom, I want Mom." Seeing that the little ghost had escaped, Lu Lao Liuyi picked up the child, and the child gradually regained consciousness. But when he saw that he was being held by an old man, the child was frightened and cried.
"Lu Lao Liu, why are you holding my son." At this time, the child's cry attracted two people, and it was Lao Li's family, who couldn't find the child in the middle of the night.
"Why are you holding my son in the middle of the night! Want to abduct and sell children, isn't it? "I... I'm not...... Not really! The little couple was anxious to find the child, and when they saw Lu Lao Liu holding the child here, they became angry. It is not said that Lu Lao Liu wants to abduct and sell children.
Lu Lao Liu explained for a long time and didn't explain why this kid appeared at the scrap station in the middle of the night, and was dumbfounded by the little couple, that aggrieved!
When the two of them left, Lu Lao Liu thought for a long time before he figured out, it is estimated that the little ghost used some evil magic to control the child and ran here, in order to drink blood......
Lu Lao Liu turned around angrily and walked into the warehouse, rummaging through, but he didn't see the shadow of the little ghost after rummaging for a long time, so he patted his head, and said that he was really confused, how could the ghost be found.
But since this happened, Lu Lao Liu didn't dare to sleep again at night, in case that little ghost harmed someone's child again, he couldn't wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
On the third night, Lu Lao Liu moved a chair and sat in front of the house smoking, waiting for the harmful little ghost to appear.
Don't say it, it's really not in vain, that is, just after twelve o'clock, Lu Lao Liu, who was a little sleepy, heard the child's laughter again, he was busy looking in the direction of the warehouse, and sure enough, the little ghost appeared again!
Not only the little ghost, but at this time, a child from another family in the village was walking in from outside the courtyard in a daze.
But this time, Lu Lao Liu didn't dare to delay, and as soon as he saw the kid coming in, he rushed out with one arrow step.
"I'm going to kick you to death." Lu Lao Liu was busy picking up the child, and he wanted to kick the little ghost with a flying kick, but this time it was different from before, and the little ghost seemed to have discovered that this fierce old man could not cause any harm to himself.
Although its form was disappearing little by little, the little ghost was obviously very angry with this person who had ruined his good deeds again and again, and his face was full of hideous anger.
stared at Lu Lao Liu resentfully for a long time, and the little ghost slowly disappeared.
"That little ghost is not afraid of me anymore, I am afraid that it will harm people unscrupulously, so I want your father to go over and take a look." Lu Lao Liu used two cigarettes to tell Chen Xiaobraid about the little ghost, he was not afraid of ghosts, but he was always worried that he would hurt people. It's better to plan a little ahead.
"Sixth uncle, don't worry! Leave this matter to me. But do you have to pay for your labor? ”
"What? Your dad never wanted money! ”
As soon as Chen Xiaobraid heard this, he jumped up, and his chest beat against the mountain, he was poor during this time, and he finally had a deal and couldn't let it run.
"Sixth uncle, it's because of my father that I lost my family! Otherwise, I would have been able to sell iron. Seeing that Lu Lao Liu's teeth were straight, Chen Xiaobraid was a little angry, could it be that now this world has made his father have to work voluntarily?
"Haha, Uncle Sixth is joking with you! How can you work in vain, you should give. Your dad's old stubbornness is hateful. Fortunately, Lu Lao Liu was just joking with Chen Xiaobraid, in fact, the people in the village are also willing to give money, Chen Laogou has helped many people over the years, and the whole village feels that he owes him a favor. These two are in trouble, and everyone is willing to help.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll give you a thousand when I get back." "Okay, Uncle Six, don't worry!" In this way, a business was finally negotiated, and Chen Xiaobraid's cold heart finally warmed up in the morning, after all, a penny is difficult for a hero, how can he support his family and take care of his father.
Watching Lu Lao Liu ride away, Chen Xiaobraid began to think about how to deal with that little ghost.
"Why are you stunned at the door? Go buy me something! "Oh, I know Dad, let's go." At this moment, Old Dog Chen shouted in the yard, urging him to go shopping and come back.
"Alas, Daddy! Judging by the speed of your loser, I'm really going to have to work hard to make money. "During this time, Chen Laogou started to be the shopkeeper, and Chen Xiaobraid handled all these things at home, and I really don't know where the money came from.
At this time, the pigtail remembered another serious problem, tonight to catch the ghost has to be called Lu Dagang, this work is still a lot more convenient with him, but how to divide the money?
This life is only a thousand yuan in total, and the family is about to be poor and can't open the pot, so divide the money! Distressed. But regardless of the money, it can be seen from the surname of the sixth uncle that he is a relative of Lu Dagang, which is really difficult.
Chen Xiaobraid walked towards the village to buy something for his father, while thinking about what to do about it.
