The night was a little stuffy, and after the prosperity, only the remnants of fireworks remained, and the people gradually dispersed and went back to their homes.

Therefore, the sound of the big man humming the song gradually became empty on the night street.

Not far away, the tofu Shih Tzu who sold tofu flowers finished washing the last stack of bowls, and was secretly touched on his waist.

Tofu Shih Tzu took water to splash it, and after splashing it, he saw clearly that there was a squinting old man in front of him, and then he laughed and scolded: "Dead ghost!" ”

The old man just laughed.

When the big man saw it, he drank his full teapot in his hand, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Old man, what are you doing?" Xiao Wu is here, look at your virtue of not being two-faced! Do you stumble or not? ”

The old man carried the cloth bag in his hand, walked over with his hands behind his back, and threw the cloth bag on the big man's table: "Go, go into the house and get some money out!" ”

The big man's eyes were like brass bells: "What's the matter?" What are you doing with money? What about the second child? ”

The old man put his hands behind his back: "I'm going to play mahjong, hurry up and get some money, and I'll go and rub it twice!" ”

Dahan slapped the table and said very neatly: "Wait for me, I'll go and get a share too......"

Saying that, the big man looked at Xichen on the side: "The third child, take Xiao Wu'er back first, this second child doesn't bring money to rub mahjong, this is not a wanton matter, I and the old man will send him some......"

Xichen just blackened his face, turned around and entered the house silently, and when he came out, he already had an extra kitchen knife in his hand, staring directly at the old man and the big man: "Rub, go, you two rub one for me to see!" ”

The old man shrunk his neck, wiped his mouth and smiled dryly: "Oh, the third child, look at you, a few brothers have a big temper and hurt your liver!" Being young is not good for your health, come, listen to Master's advice, and put the knife down! Four girls, quickly persuade your senior brother! ”

Xiaodao Gu Xishuang made a grimace at the old man and pointed to the house: "Senior brother, there is a longer one in the house, I'll go get you ......"

Xichen shook his head and smiled bitterly, and stuffed the stool in front of the old man: "Can you be serious old man, Xiaoyu, this kid has just arrived, and your master is a little ......."

The old man wiped the bench with his gray cloth sleeve, sat down, and waved at Yuan Yu.

Yuan Yu, who had been bowing his head and not making a sound, walked to the old man hesitantly, stared at the old man's face for a long time, not as kind as he imagined, but not fierce, his face was covered with a layer of oil and glowed red, full of wrinkles, but sharp edges and corners, a pair of eyes, always slightly squinted.

The old man called Yuan Yu, and his voice was very casual, but his voice was a little unpredictable: "We are too one, this is what it looks like, Xiao Wu, if you feel shabby, no one will be difficult for you!" As for the rules of other sects, we don't have any! The sect has withered so far, helping the world to save people, the right way, these high-sounding truths, not the work that our Taiyi Sect should do now, the old man and I, I am a useless person, I don't expect you to recover the sect, let's live well, old man, I have so many thoughts! If you don't think you can look down on it, whether you go or stay, I won't be strong enough for me, old man! ”

Xichen on the side was suddenly moved, and opened his mouth to say something.

The old man's face was never as serious as ever, and he waved his hand to prevent Xichen from speaking, but just looked at Yuan Yu intently.

The big man at the table was also stunned, and muttered in a low voice: "What's wrong with the old man today......

Yuan Yu tilted his head, and suddenly grinned, smiling beautifully, and only called softly: "Master!" ”

The moon at night silently showed its face from the clouds.

And this master, how heavy it is, perhaps only Xiao Daozi himself knows at this moment.

After being silent for a long time, the old man touched Yuan Yu's head, and suddenly laughed, I don't know if it was an illusion, Yuan Yu always felt that the old man's hand was shaking slightly.

Standing up, the old man looked at the big man on the side, and said with a miserable smile: "Boss, go and call the second child back, clean up, and close this shop!" ”

Xiyun Dahan stared blankly at the leopard's eyes: "What's the matter?" Closed? ”

The old man just nodded: "It's closed, from today onwards, there is nothing important, and no one is allowed to go down the mountain without permission!" ”

"I'm going to call the second child back!"

Xiyun Dahan hesitated for a while, then nodded in response, and didn't ask any more.

The old man looked at the back of Xiyun who was far away, smiled bitterly and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "I should come, but I still can't hide from it......

Yuan Yu has a word in his name, so the old man said that it is homophonic rain.

Cherish the rain, this is Yuan Yu's new name, clouds, wind, dust, frost and rain, from now on, there will be five brothers.

Xishuang pulled Yuan Yu, and the little junior brother who was very happy called over and over again was not enough.

Xichen remembered Xiyun's words, so he asked the old man what happened.

The old man said absent-mindedly: "A while ago, when you left, there was a corpse floating in the river in the east, and the body was empty. ”

Xichen frowned: "No one came to recognize the corpse?" ”

The old man smiled hey, and drank the tea without a sip: "Recognize? How to recognize? I didn't catch it at all, because I couldn't pull it! I couldn't pull it, and in the end, the face of the corpse that couldn't be distinguished, but the seven orifices were bleeding, and the people who fished were crazy! When I went to fish again, I couldn't find it! ”

When the old man said this, he spit out a mouthful of tea leaves: "Today I rushed over with my second child to see it!" Third, guess what? ”

Xichen frowned: "Since the body has been soaked, it is impossible to bleed out, unless, this thing has a lot of resentment and can affect people's minds!" ”

The old man sighed: "Not only that, when I went with the third child, the old soup man who went down the river that day was already dead!" I'm only in my fifties, and I'm usually in good health, but I just died! The old soup man's wife said that there was always a crackling knock on the door in the middle of the night in those days, and when the old soup man died, it was morning, and the bedding under his body was wet, like being fished out of the water! There hasn't been such an evil thing for many years, there must be a demon when things go wrong, the third, you and I will go on another trip tomorrow, let the second and the eldest stay and clean up the yard in the mountains, there has been no one for a long time! ”

Xichen's face was a little shocked: "That harmful thing, haven't found it yet?" ”

The old man glanced at Xichen: "It's almost eight or nine, and in the past two days, the granddaughter of the old soup head has always cried in the middle of the night and shouted that there is a woman in flower clothes in her dream...... Don't talk about it, close the store door first, the eldest and second should come back, it's not too early, and the old man has a mountain road to go......"
