I replied, "Because the name is elegant and polite, it is very suitable for this kind of craft shop." ”

She smiled again and said: "Pan Lang embroidery, as the name suggests, is Pan Lang's shop, by the way, Auntie said that you don't have a partner yet, right?" ”

I smiled awkwardly, "Jiaxue, it's actually ......"

"Actually, what? I remember Pan Lang said before that if you love one person, you will be old in the wilderness. She said with a wink of colorful eyes.

"Jiaxue, in fact, we haven't seen each other for so many years, and there are many things that may be wrong." I replied.

"You mean Pan Lang's mind has changed?"

"Jiaxue, that's not what I want to say......"

She smiled, "I understand, after so many years, I may not be stupid to keep Pan Lang's promise, if life is only as first seen." ”

"Jiaxue, in fact, it's not that people have changed, it's ......"

At this moment, someone outside the house suddenly shouted, "Senior sister, are you here?" ”

Murong Jiaxue and I got up and walked out of the house, and when we saw that it was actually her father Murong Cheng and Jing Yifan!

Seeing me come out, this Murong Cheng stepped forward on crutches, stared at me with his eyes firmly and said, "Village Chief Liu Hao said that you are Hou Hai's apprentice?" ”

I nodded, "Uncle Murong, I am." ”

Hearing this, a cloud suddenly appeared on Murong Cheng's face, obviously, he seemed to be recalling all kinds of unpleasant past with Master! He said word by word: "My ruined right leg is due to your master!" ”

This Murong Jiaxue also looked at me and asked in surprise, "Qin Ming, are you really Hou Hai's apprentice?" ”

I said lightly, "Yes." ”

Murong Jiaxue's pretty face sank in an instant, her eyes were misty, and her silver teeth bit her lips, as if she didn't want to believe it, and said angrily, "How can you be his apprentice!" My father was crippled for half his life, and it was caused by this waiting for the sea! ”

I didn't know what to say at this time, so I just shrugged my shoulders and said helplessly: "Jiaxue, I really don't know about the affairs or grievances of the seniors." ”

This Murong Cheng was silent for a long time, and suddenly said to me: "Can you take me to meet your master now, we haven't seen each other for decades." ”

At this moment, a few loud laughter came from not far away, "Brother Murong, don't come unharmed!" ”

It turned out that the master was here!

This lame Murong Cheng saw the master, and laughed, "I didn't expect Brother Hou to hide in this small mountain village, if it weren't for fate, this Xu Tianbiao asked someone to invite me to treat the disease, I accidentally learned that Brother Hou is here, we may not be able to meet in our lifetime!" ”

The master also clenched his fists in return, and laughed, "Brother Murong, it seems that it is really a creation and a trick, the past is goodbye, and decades have passed in a flash, it seems that Brother Murong's body is still very healthy!" ”

Murong Cheng said: "Thanks to Brother Hou, my body is quite tough. ”

The master said: "Brother Murong, seeing you today, it can be regarded as a good fate, but you are interested in drinking two cups together." ”

Murong Cheng said: "Brother Hou, when I cure this Xu Hao's illness, it's not too late to drink!" After a pause, he asked again: "Brother Hou, I have something I want to ask, do you want to treat Xu Hao's disease, or can't you treat it?" ”

The master smiled slightly, and said directly: "The heart is more than enough, but the heart is not enough." ”

Murong Cheng pointed at me and said, "Brother Hou, this Qin Ming is your apprentice, right?" ”

Master said, "Yes, he is my apprentice. ”

Murong Cheng pursed his lips and said: "Brother Hou, when we were young, we were not as good as others in the competition, resulting in a crippled right leg, and now, I also have apprentices, I don't know if I dare to let our juniors compete again?" ”

Master is a stubborn person who refuses to admit defeat, even if he is so old, his temper is still hot, and he immediately agreed, "Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, if you have time, let our apprentices try again!" ”

"It's a deal! Leave! ”

Subsequently, Murong Cheng left with his daughter Murong Jiaxue and his apprentice Jing Yifan.

The master looked at their backs and snorted arrogantly: "Who is afraid of whom, baby, do you have the confidence to win this Murong Cheng's apprentice?" ”

I scratched my head helplessly, "Master, didn't you say that you were in vain, after so many years, in fact, you didn't teach me anything, you said, what do I use to compete with others?" ”

The master pursed his lips, "Baby, in fact, there is a reason why the teacher doesn't teach you, it's really not good, and you can also let your junior sister compete with them." ”

Actually, what I'm most worried about now is that if Xu Hao's illness is cured, when the time comes, won't Xiaoya's killing of him be revealed, even if there is a reason for it, it is estimated that after the operation of Xu Hao's family, she will be sentenced to an attempted murder.

Moreover, once this Xu Hao comes to his senses and tells his father Xu Tianbiao about the events of that night, this Xu Tianbiao is ruthless and will definitely take revenge on me and Xiaoya by any means, although Xiaoya is not here now, but if he comes back one day, he will not be able to escape this Xu Tianbiao's poisonous hands.

Thinking of this, I asked Master, "Master, in your opinion, can this Murong City cure Xu Hao's illness?" ”

Master said: "This Murong Cheng's ability should not be underestimated, if this Xu Hao is not a big deal, it is inevitable to cure it." ”

Seeing that I was frowning, Master saw at a glance that I seemed to have something in my heart, and asked with concern: "Baby, what's wrong with you, this Xu Hao's illness is incurable, does it have anything to do with you?" ”

I didn't hide it anymore at this time, so I told the master that Xu Hao went to my snake factory that day and wanted to force Xiaoya, and Xiaoya killed Xu Hao by mistake with a stone.

After listening to this, the master put his arm on my shoulder and smiled: "Baby, you are worried about this, if this Xu Hao is cured, he wants to spew blood, saying that you and Xiaoya deliberately killed people, his Xu family has money and connections, and he also has a teacher, and he will definitely not let Xu Hao reverse black and white, and when the time comes, Xu Hao is self-inflicted, even if the court sentences, you are not much guilty, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

With Master's words, I am a lot calmer, now, at least it is impossible for Xu Hao's family to kill me and Xiaoya through sentencing, as for whether Xu Tianbiao will retaliate in private, then I will find a way to deal with it when the time comes.

The master said solemnly: "Baby, you can also pay attention to the progress of this Xu Hao's illness, let's prepare early, after all, this Xu Tianbiao is an outlaw and can do anything." ”

I nodded and said, "What Master said is extremely true!" ”

After leaving Master, I quietly came to Xu Tianbiao's house to pay attention to Xu Hao's condition.

Xu Hao's family is very rich in our village, building a two-story small building with luxurious decoration.

It is said that after suffering from a strange disease, this Xu Hao slept in bed during the day, and at five or six o'clock in the evening, he began to make up eyebrows and eyes, and then went to the cemetery in the mountain behind the village to hum and sing.

I secretly observed for several days, and finally saw clearly, and at five or six o'clock in the evening, Liu Hao, who was sleeping soundly, really got up and started to put on makeup.

The painting is quite serious, depicting two willow leaf curved eyebrows, and putting on lipstick, similar to the kind of singing Hua Dan, and then, put on his sister's woman's clothes, and began to go to the cemetery to sing, this opera is sung very well, and even the movements are so good, people really wonder if there is a ghost of the drama attached to him.

A few days ago, there was no specific movement in this Murong City, but he just followed Xu Hao to the cemetery to observe.

This Xu Tianbiao's family has three children, Xu Hao is the second, Xu Hao's eldest sister is the daughter-in-law of the village chief Liu Hao, and Xu Hao's sister, named Xu Jiayi, works in the county drama troupe.

Xu Hao used to be the girlfriend of the county drama troupe, it was this Xu Jiayi who introduced him, Xu Hao made people's stomachs bigger, and then abandoned them, causing the girl to hang herself in red clothes, this time Xu Hao was sick, makeup and singing, and it was rumored in the village that it was the girl's soul possession to take revenge!

Of course, the possession of the female ghost is just speculation, and it remains to be seen whether this Xu Hao is or not.

For more than ten days, Murong Cheng didn't move, and he still followed this Xu Hao to the cemetery behind the village every day, and then came back, I really don't know what medicine he sells in his gourd.

It stands to reason that if it is a simple female ghost possession or evil collision, with Murong Cheng's strength, it should not be so tricky, after all, his level is about the same as that of the master, and the master's strength is self-evident.

But why did Murong Cheng stay still? There should be only one reason, that is, this Xu Hao's illness is by no means as simple as a ghost possession.

I told Master about this situation, and Master thought more deeply than me, saying that there are two possibilities for this matter, one is that this Xu Hao's illness is indeed not simple, and the other is that it is also possible that Murong Cheng is waiting for the price and selling, that is to say, showing that this Xu Hao's illness is difficult to treat, and then preparing to sit on the ground and ask for more money.

I greatly admired Master's analytical skills.

After half a month, this Murong Cheng finally began to treat it specifically, he asked Xu Tianbiao to find some baby blood in the village, that is, the index finger blood of children less than six months old, Xu Tianbiao sent someone to go, there are not too many children in the village, anyway, I have traveled all over the village, and I got about 50 ml, indeed, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can get anything.

Moreover, I got a few more white roosters' combs.

Then this child's blood was forcibly poured into Xu Hao, and I didn't see any use for the cockscomb.

After pouring Xu Hao down, Xu Hao struggled for a while, and then fell asleep again.

I hurriedly told the master about the situation, and the master told me that this child's blood is called King Kong tears, and the cockscomb of the white rooster is called Bai Chen.

So what's the use of baby blood? According to Master, if you look closely at the baby, you will find that the baby's little hands are basically in a clenched fist state. Because the soul of the baby is not solidified, this state of clenching the fist is the soul solidified, which is called grasping!

And baby blood has the purpose of fixing the soul.

What is the use of the cockscomb of a white rooster? Everyone knows this rooster, it is the natural nemesis of all kinds of poisonous insects, centipedes, scorpions, whatever, chickens are the most favorite to eat, and the Pleiades star official in Journey to the West screamed, and he subdued the powerful scorpion essence.

The cockscomb is a thing that repels poison.

According to Master's inference, the reason why these two things were used should be that Murong Cheng felt that Xu Hao's soul was unstable and wanted to stabilize it for the time being.

Oh, I see, after listening to Master's explanation, it dawned on me.

I hurried to stare at the development of Xu Hao's illness, Xu Hao did not recover, at night, Xu Hao began to thrush again, but when he walked, he did not go directly to the back mountain cemetery to sing, but swayed, like a walking corpse, and walked elsewhere.

Walking and walking, my heart sank! This guy actually walked to the place where I used to bury my body!

This Murong Cheng and his apprentice Jing Yifan and Xu Tianbiao followed behind, and walked to the place where I buried the body, this Xu Hao stopped, and then stood still, like a humanoid puppet.

Murong Cheng looked at the somewhat loose soil, took out some powdery things from a small bag around his waist, wiped them on his hands, and then dug out a handful of soil deeply.

After observing for a while, he said to Xu Tianbiao: "Brother Xu, your son Xu Hao was once buried here!" He was already dead, and his soul was lost, but later, for some unknown reason, the two souls returned to their bodies and came back to life, and they should have crawled out of this place again. ”

It seems that this Murong Cheng really has two tricks, and he can actually let Xu Hao find the place where his body was buried.

Xu Tianbiao heard this, his clenched fists gurgled, and he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "If I find out who killed Xiaohao, I, Xu Tianbiao, will definitely break him into pieces!" ”

My palms were also dripping with sweat, and I thought in my heart, once this Xu Hao's illness is really cured, this Xu Tianbiao will definitely not show mercy to me and Xiaoya's subordinates.

Xu Tianbiao asked again: "Mr. Murong, can you find out who killed my son?" ”
