Chapter 53: Counting is Counting
It was really fun tonight.
I subconsciously looked at the time again, and it was just past four o'clock.
Wang Tiezhu is menacing, it is obvious that it has been deployed early in the morning, this is the drama of the praying mantis catching cicadas, everyone knows that Jiaolongpo will hold a sacrifice tonight and erect a statue of the tea god Niangniang, but they didn't expect that at the same time as this matter was going on, they also dug a big pit and waited for foreign invaders to jump inside.
"This Wang Tiezhu, I'm going to be impressed today." Liu Chuannan stared at the strong men who surrounded the ancestral hall with interest, but I was a little anxious, "Liuchuan Nan, don't you make a move?" It is simply impossible for these villagers to catch these two groups of people. ”
"Xiaocha, you stay and help Wang Tiezhu, I have something to deal with, and I'll be back in a while." Yanagawa Minami disappeared after speaking.
I'm full of black lines, is this guy just leaving me alone? What is this?
I was slightly angry in my heart, at this time, Wang Tiezhu had already rushed into the ancestral hall with people, and a fierce battle was about to begin, so I stepped forward a few steps forward and wanted to help.
At least I still have the tail ring, and the attack power is still a little bigger than those reckless people.
But when I ran over, I was blocked by the gatekeepers, and I craned my neck to peek in, and it was quiet inside, and there was no fighting.
I called 'Brother Wang', Wang Tiezhu turned around, glanced at me, and asked people to let me in.
I just trotted over, and I saw that in the ear room, two men were tied up with five flowers, kneeling on the ground with their heads held high, both of them were people from Daojiazhai, one was called Dao Guohua, and the other was called Dao Baoshan, both of whom were big men who carried weight on the dead, and they used to come to our village to do things.
At this time, the two of them had blue noses and swollen faces, panting roughly, and seemed to have a fire in their stomachs, but I didn't see the authentic way that Yanagawa Nan said before in the ear room, and my heart was a little strange.
And before I saw two groups of people enter the ancestral hall, now there are only two people left in the Daojiazhai, what about the rest?
"Your Daojiazhai people are really interesting, you can't do business, you actually come to steal, if this thing spreads, who would dare to do business with your Daojiazhai?" Wang Tiezhu's tone was not good.
Dao Baoshan was a little younger, in his early thirties, and his blood was strong, so he couldn't hear such words, and roared: "We didn't take the things, don't spew blood." ”
"You didn't take it, but what about the white snake skin? Why are you here? Wang Tiezhu kicked at the wall on the left side of the ear chamber, and there was a big hole in it, and it could be seen that there was originally a dark compartment in the hole, which was estimated to be hidden in white snake skin, but now it was empty.
Dao Baoshan said angrily: "If you don't take the white snake skin, you don't want to pour dirty water on us!" ”
"Since you don't want to solve this matter sincerely, then we have only two options, one is to call the police directly and let the police decide which is right and wrong; Second, send a message to your Daojia Village, and let your great wizard personally explain it clearly, choose one of the two, and see how you choose. Wang Tiezhu said, pulled over the chair and sat down, sitting in front of the kneeling two, legs slightly apart, elbows pressed on thighs, waiting for the prisoner to be tried.
Dao Baoshan couldn't stand this, kneeling here, as if he wanted to kowtow to Wang Tiezhu and admit his mistake, his whole body slammed up, and he opened his mouth to bite Wang Tiezhu's nose.
Wang Tiezhu didn't move, but Dao Guohua next to him reprimanded Dao Baoshan: "Baoshan, shut up." ”
Dao Baoshan wanted to refute, his mouth opened, he didn't know what he thought, his eyes darkened, he lowered his head, and he lost his arrogance.
This matter can't be tried, and the emotions of the two don't seem to be quite right.
Wang Tiezhu also felt it, and immediately changed his strategy: "The two of you are unlucky, the accomplices who came together went back with the white snake skin to invite merit, but you stayed to carry all the things, and the strength was out, and the hardships were suffered, and in the end, I think the benefits are going to be lost, hey, it's really pitiful." ”
Dao Guohua knelt there like a sculpture, unmoved, Dao Baoshan's knee seemed to have a needle under it, moving slightly, but the two never said a word again.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and Wang Tiezhu said to Miao Dabing behind him: "I'll leave it to you here, someone from Daojiazhai will call me, if no one comes after dawn, call the police directly, and we will do business." ”
Wang Tiezhu said this, Dao Baoshan raised his head suddenly, his eyes were a little flustered for a while, Wang Tiezhu didn't give him time to hesitate, raised his feet and walked out.
I'll go out too.
We walked dozens of meters away one after the other, Wang Tiezhu stopped, and when I walked over, he said, "Why didn't you answer when I called you before?" ”
"I'm asleep, I haven't had a good night's sleep these days, the air conditioner is on cold, and I slept deeply." I lied, at this time the sky was just white, and I couldn't see it clearly.
Wang Tiezhu nodded, and didn't ask: "Then how did you come to the ancestral hall?" ”
The matter on this side of the ancestral hall, except for Wang Tiezhu's party who discussed it in advance, it is estimated that there are few people who know about it, and it is indeed strange that I appeared for no reason.
But I also have a countermeasure: "I rushed to Jiaolongpo after I woke up, but I saw you running to the back of the village in a hurry on the way, you shouldn't have left Jiaolongpo at that time, so I was curious and followed." ”
"You're so bold." Wang Tiezhu obviously believed it.
I breathed a sigh of relief: "What about you guys?" Jiaolongpo isn't done yet, right? It stands to reason that it is not proper for you to leave now. ”
"Rules are dead, people are alive, Xiaocha, don't forget that I am also a scientifically educated person, born in this village, I must conform to the will of the people, but I also have my own outlook on life and values, in my opinion, some things are more important than sacrifices." Wang Tiezhu said seriously.
I pointed in the direction of the ancestral hall, full of questions: "Brother Wang, the white snake skin was stolen, although two people from Daojiazhai were caught, but the things were gone, why didn't you chase them?" ”
From beginning to end, he was coercing those two people, but there was no substantive action at all, which is very abnormal.
Wang Tiezhu sighed: "It's useless to chase it, the white snake skin is fake, and it is precisely because it is fake that I discussed this play with the patriarch." ”
"Fake?" I was surprised, they have been silent, Yanagawa and I thought they didn't know, but I didn't expect that people were like mirrors in their hearts.
Wang Tiezhu looked around and gestured at me: "Be quiet, only me and the patriarch know about this." ”
"What the hell is going on?" I asked knowingly.
"The white snake skin has been hidden by the patriarch in his cellar, and he will check it every day, and one morning he went over, and found that something was wrong, because there was a slight deviation in the reference object he placed, and it was soon determined that the white snake skin was dropped, and the rest should be a python skin, but this python will become like a white snake when it has albinism." Wang Tiezhu leaned close to me and whispered, "At that time, the patriarch was a little panicked, and his first reaction was that the people of Daojiazhai did it, but on the other hand, if it was really the people of Daojiazhai, they did it without knowing it, and there was no need to put a fake snake skin in, although the python skin was not as precious as the white snake skin, it was also a rare thing." ”
"After that, the patriarch came to me to discuss, and I said that I would slow down, pretend not to know, and try the reality of Daojiazhai. After that, we let out the words, saying that the boss outside was also discussing with the patriarch recently, and was going to spend a lot of money to buy white snake skin, but soon someone from Daojiazhai came and asked to buy white snake skin at a higher price, and we understood that this white snake skin was not stolen by the people of Daojiazhai, and the patriarch asked me to discuss it again, and finally planned it, and there was today's scene. ”
"The people of Daojiazhai are also strange, since they want white snake skin so much, there are not no capable people, but they don't seem to have used any means at all, and they have endured until tonight." From this point of view, Daojiazhai's actions are really like a real gentleman.
"We have also discussed this, maybe the people of Daojiazhai don't want to provoke disputes between the two villages, after all, Daojiazhai has always been mysterious, and there must be secrets in their village that they don't want to spread outside, if they annoy us and really make trouble, the gains outweigh the losses." Wang Tiezhu's analysis is very reasonable, "Tonight is different, if they don't do it again, it is likely that they will never have a chance again." ”
"But I just looked at the state of the two people inside, and it seems that the fake white snake skin was not taken by them." Dao Guohua is in his early fifties, has a lot of experience, and is calm and calm, but Dao Baoshan can't hold his breath, everything is written on his face, what makes me strange is that they have fought with each other, why didn't they directly confess to each other?
Why did they hide that there was another group of people at that time?
"Whoever takes the real white snake skin, we can't track it down with our own strength, but we want to force the knife family." Wang Tiezhu smiled slyly.
I immediately understood their intentions.
The people of Daojiazhai took away the fake snake skin, but our village bit it to death and said that the loss was the real snake skin, even if the Daojiazhai returned the fake snake skin, we will not admit it, under pressure, the Daojiazhai side will find a way to find out the whereabouts of the real white snake skin, and when the time comes, we will keep an eye on the Daojiazhai, maybe we can find the real white snake skin.
I have to say that this is a very clever trap, but the bad thing is that the second wave of people was killed.
Now the fake snake skin doesn't know who took it away, if it wasn't taken away by the people of Daojiazhai, then, the people of Daojiazhai will not carry this pot, and in turn will form a confrontation with us, and justifiably go to snatch the white snake skin that was stolen, and when the time comes, the thing will be recovered, and whoever chases is who's, but it is justifiable.
I glanced at Wang Tiezhu, and my heart was not steady at all: "You don't worry about extraneous branches? ”
Wang Tiezhu frowned, puzzled: "People, didn't we catch it?" ”
"Didn't you see anything wrong with their performance just now?" I asked rhetorically.
"Deny it, this performance is normal, didn't you sell the knife family village with one mouth?" Wang Tiezhu said.
I shook my head: "No, when they appear in the ancestral hall, Daojiazhai has already been inseparable, and the emotions they should show are loss, guilt, and failure to complete the tasks assigned above, but are they behaving like this?" ”
Wang Tiezhu's face changed slightly, and I continued: "They seem to be defending someone, if it is a person from Daojiazhai, what is the need to defend whom?" The great wizards can't be whitewashed, and others still need to be whitewashed? It can only be explained that the people they want to maintain are not the people of Daojiazhai. ”
Wang Tiezhu was stunned, obviously thinking of my concerns, and after a while, he took a long breath and said: "It's a big trouble, there are indeed several groups of forces sneaking into our village tonight, if it is really someone outside Daojiazhai who got the fake snake skin, how will it end then?" ”
I don't know what to do, so I'll have to wait for the next development.
We were talking here, and the salute on the Jiaolongpo side was in the sky, which was very short, but the meaning was great.
"The statue of the tea goddess has finally been erected." Wang Tiezhu sighed.
Immediately afterwards, the crowd slowly walked towards the village, chattering and discussing the sacrificial activities just now, but they didn't know how much had happened in the village just now.
After a while, the patriarch came over, and Wang Tiezhu hurriedly greeted him, probably discussing the matter of Daojiazhai with the patriarch.
I glanced towards the entrance of the stockade, and then slowly walked towards my house, and Liu Chuannan didn't know what to do.
When I got home, I was still a little sleepy, sitting on the bed, watching the window light up little by little, my heart had already flown out.
It stands to reason that Daojiazhai has already received the news at this time, and will send someone to negotiate no matter what, right? You can't really make trouble to the point of calling the police.
I was so distraught that I got up again to wash up, and then went to the kitchen to make breakfast, and as soon as breakfast was ready, Yanagawa Minami came back.
I hurriedly ran over and asked him how he was, his face was solemn, and he said that he would wash his face first, and I brought breakfast to the table, and when he came back, we sat down to eat and chat.
"How is Wang Tiezhu's side?" Yanagawa Minami asked me first.
"I caught two people from Daojiazhai, but I couldn't ask anything, they seemed to have concerns." I said it truthfully.
"That's right." Liu Chuannan sneered, "I did my best, but I didn't expect this, the people of Mobai and the people of Daojiazhai know each other." ”
"Acquaintance? What do you mean? No, if they met, how could they meet in the ancestral hall before? I thought for a moment, "Enemy? ”
If it's a friend, it should be a cooperation first, and then share the spoils, right?
"It's not an enemy, most of them are flooded with water that washed away the Dragon King Temple, and their own family members beat their own families." This situation was something we didn't expect, and Liu Chuannan also looked uneasy, "When Wang Tiezhu rushed in, I realized that one party would definitely run out of the tunnel, so I took a step ahead to intercept it, and as a result, more than 100 meters away from the entrance of the village, I met the great wizard of Daojiazhai. ”
"Grand Wizard? He actually came in person? "This great wizard is very mysterious, it is easy not to leave the Daojiazhai for half a step, I haven't seen him once, but his name is very loud, my grandmother said when she was alive, don't offend this great wizard easily.
Liu Chuannan nodded: "When Mo Bai's people escaped, they were intercepted by the big wizard, originally I thought there was going to be a fierce battle, after all, both sides wanted to take the snake skin, but the big wizard didn't make a move, Mo Bai's people stepped forward and said a lot of words, and the two sides shook hands. ”
"Who ended up taking the fake snakeskin?" That's the most important thing.
"Taken away by the Grand Wizard." Yanagawa replied.
My face suddenly dropped.
"The fake snake skin was originally taken away by the inky white person, the great wizard checked the snake skin, and he must have immediately distinguished the real from the fake, logically speaking, the people of Daojiazhai are now on the cusp, and they should not accept the fake snake skin, which will cause a lot of trouble for himself, but he accepted it, why?"
"Because it's a fake snakeskin, this pot wizard plans to help Mo Bai's gang carry it off, but the most important thing now is that if Mo Bai's people take away the real snake skin, what will the big wizard do?"
"Judging from the current situation, if it is really a white snake skin, the great wizard will definitely give it up, and the relationship between them, Mo Bai is higher than that of the great wizard."
We all said a word and finally came to a conclusion.
"There have been too many things that have happened in more than a thousand years, the Five Poison Sect has been divided, their respective fates are very different, and after so many generations of development, I haven't figured out how many minions have been derived, the only thing that can be determined now is that someone is trying to gather the heirs of the former Five Poison Sects, and their ultimate goal, I have a faint guess, but I can't be sure yet." In the more than 1,000 years that Liu Chuannan was trapped, there were too many things missed, and if this Daojiazhai was in the same vein, it must have appeared later, and it was a blind spot in Liuchuannan's cognition.
"Don't worry, at least Ji Beibei and I are not caught by the black and grass streams, and all the truth will slowly come out." I put my hand on the back of his hand and comforted.
Liu Chuannan nodded: "I still have to do some homework in detail, and I will figure out these things as soon as possible." ”
"By the way, what did you just say, can you tell me about it?" I wondered.
Liu Chuannan glanced at me and shook his head: "It's just a guess at the moment, and it's not too late to tell you after I verify it." ”
He didn't want to say it, so I didn't force it: "Let's eat first, I have already reminded Wang Tiezhu of this matter, now you are sure that Daojiazhai is going to carry this pot, and the matter is still according to Wang Tiezhu's expectations on the surface, let's just stare at a little more ink white, fortunately, he is still locked up, and it will take a few days to come out." ”
I'm really grateful to Jin Qiaoqiao now, if it weren't for her crooked hit, we would definitely be in a state of anxiety now.
Liu Chuannan sneered: "Do you really think that the health center is closed in Mobai? ”
I chuckled in my heart, pinched the chopsticks in my hand, and my hands were shaking: "You...... What do you mean? ”
"Literally." Yanagawa Minami continued to bury his head in eating.
I slapped the chopsticks on the table with a snap, Yanagawa Nan looked up at me, I had already taken out my mobile phone and quickly flipped out Ji Beibei's number and dialed it.
The bell rang unhurriedly, and I was anxious, and when she finally picked it up, I breathed a sigh of relief: "Senior sister, what are you doing?" ”
"In the laboratory, you're busy, today is the Double Ninth Festival, aren't you coming back yet?" I could hear her figuring out the bottles and cans, and her mentor's urging voice, and said, "Look again, there's something going on here, you get busy first, and then we'll talk when you're done." ”
After saying a few words, he hung up, put down his phone, but was a little uneasy, and picked it up and called Jin Qiaoqiao again.
Jin Qiaoqiao's side picked up quickly, and there was a noise around, it should be crazy outside, after all, our school was on holiday on the day of the Double Ninth Festival.
"Hey, Xiaocha, are you looking for me?" She shouted at the top of her voice.
I quickly took my phone away a little bit, waited until it was a little quieter, and then asked, "Where are you?" ”
"What's wrong with a group of friends at the resort?" She asked.
"It's nothing, just ask you how the progress is over there, what's wrong with the haunt."
Liu Chuannan's words made me very worried, today is the Double Ninth Festival, it is Mo Bai's birthday, and he was scheduled to have a birthday dinner in his villa tonight, and invited us.
If he uses his connections and comes out today, then tonight......
I was thinking about it, but Jin Qiaoqiao didn't care and said, "What can go wrong under my surveillance?" The nurse went to draw blood early this morning, and it was safe, seven days passed in a flash, how are you preparing over there? ”
"The Gu seed has been chosen, wait for me to go back to you." I seriously knocked Jin Qiaoqiao again, "This matter is not trivial, don't take it lightly, you don't know Mobai's family background, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it, if this matter is stabbed out, you and I will not end well." ”
"Bah, don't say anything bad early in the morning, I'll send someone to watch it, I can't get out of the moth." Jin Qiaoqiao is full of confidence.
After hanging up the phone, I looked at Yanagawa Minami: "I don't know why, I suddenly felt very uneasy, why don't we go back to school first?" ”
Liu Chuannan was a little embarrassed: "The matter here has not yet been decided, and it may not be able to leave." ”
"I knew it was useless to count on you, I really never seemed to count on you." I lowered my head and ate sullenly, not wanting to make trouble unreasonably, but I was just unhappy, "Then I'll go back first after breakfast, you can be busy." ”
After a moment of silence, Yanagawa Minami asked tentatively, "Angry?" ”
"Nope." I continued to eat.
"You want me to go back with you, don't you?" He continued.
I shook my head: "It doesn't matter, I can take care of my own affairs, you don't have to worry." ”
He put down the bowl, stared at me, and said, "So that's why I want you to double cultivate with me, there are too many crises around us, and we can't prevent it, only if you are strong enough, you won't worry about this and that." ”
"Liu Chuannan, do you think I'm very burdensome, troublesome, and powerless, and I can only beg my father to sue my mother if something happens, and I can't solve anything by myself, right?"
"I didn't say that, and I'll never find you burdensome." He said.
I snorted coldly, stood up, didn't want to speak, in fact, what I said was the truth, no one is obliged to help me unconditionally at all times, if I can, of course, I hope that I am strong and invincible, but after all, I am just an ordinary person.
There weren't so many deadly intrigues in the world of ordinary people, and I couldn't fit into the circle myself.
But now in the darkness, it was as if an invisible hand was pushing me forward.
You have to go on with your head and gritted your teeth, otherwise, if you take a step back, you are likely to step into the abyss.
