Chapter 2 Transactions
As the urgent cry for help got closer and closer, Ma Laodao also frowned, although I was curious, but I knew that this was by no means Wang Dafu's voice, Ma Laodao said clearly that it was five years at the earliest, ten years at the latest, how could anyone run to shout for help that night so soon?
Ma Laodao hesitated for a moment, but then stood up and walked towards the temple gate, and I quickly got up and trotted over to see what was going on.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a man kneeling in front of Ma Laodao with a 'coo' sound, kowtowing like pounding garlic and nagging: "Dao Chief, save my son's life." ”
The man in front of me is dressed more exquisitely, a coffee-colored suit is expensive, I am sure that he is not from our mountains when I look at this dress, I am curious how he knows Ma Laodao? Why do you shout for help?
Just when I was puzzled, another man also ran over out of breath, and I recognized at a glance that the person who came was Li Changgui, the head of our village, and even an idiot would know that this man in a suit was definitely brought by Li Changgui.
According to Ma Laodao's usual behavior, no matter who begs him, he will not let others kneel for a long time, and what makes me feel strange today is that Ma Laodao didn't seem to see the man in the suit in front of him, let him kneel there without saying a word, just looked at him coldly.
After Li Changgui calmed down, he introduced that the man in the suit was his cousin, named Li Changfu, who was in the antique business in the provincial capital, so his cousin was still more devout about these evil things.
Generally encounters some supernatural things, this Li Changfu still knows some Mr. Yin and Yang, and there has been no mistake so far.
A year ago, Li Changfu's son suddenly got a strange disease, and he couldn't find out why he went to the hospital, and all physical indicators were normal, but in fact, Li Changfu's son was already thin at that time, and the hospital couldn't give a reasonable explanation, so he could only tell Li Changfu that his son should have schizophrenia.
Li Changfu naturally didn't believe what the hospital said, he had seen no less than ten Mr. Yin and Yang before and after, and it had been more than a year, and it had not improved until now, and people were also haggard, and it seemed that there would be no more days to live like that.
Although this incident has happened for more than a year, because Li Changfu and Li Changgui rarely move around, Li Changgui also just learned about this matter, if it wasn't for Li Changfu's father who was a dead horse as a live horse doctor and asked him to come back to Li Changgui, it is estimated that Li Changfu would not know Ma Laodao in this life.
Li Changgui didn't know too much about what strange disease Li Changfu's son had, and it wasn't until he was on the way here that Li Changfu briefly told him that he looked like a ghost, but this ghost was fierce, and none of the dozen or so Mr. Yin and Yang could suppress the wild ghost.
At first, Li Changfu was still a little suspicious of Ma Laodao, just in time for Wang Dafu's today's affairs, the villagers passed on Ma Laodao's god, and then inquired, Ma Laodao is the 109th generation head of Maoshan, and now Li Changfu is completely convinced.
Li Changfu is such a precious son, naturally he tried everything he could, Li Changfu thought about it on the way here, as long as Ma Laodao could save his son Li Yang, he would be willing to let him scatter all his family property.
Li Changfu saw that Ma Laodao didn't speak for a long time, and the frequency of kowtowing was faster, and Li Changgui couldn't help but say: "Ma Daochang, please be kind, my cousin's branch is just this one baby, and my brother-in-law also passed away a few years ago, if he has something three long and two short, how can my cousin's family live?" ”
"Dao Chief, please be kind, I, Li Changfu, am willing to take out all my savings to repay your great kindness."
"A ghost won't harm a child for no reason, you might as well tell me what you did a year ago." Ma Laodao pondered for a while before he said to Li Changfu.
After listening to Ma Laodao's questioning, Li Changfu was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head like a rattle and hurriedly said: "Although I, Li Changfu, sometimes use fakes to sell to others as licensed goods, but they are all things for a few hundred yuan, and they are not so bad as to hurt the heavens." ”
"Since you don't want to tell the truth, then you better go back, I can't do anything." Ma Laodao shook his head and said helplessly.
"This, this ......" Li Changfu still didn't tell the truth after a long time.
Li Changgui also saw the clues, and said to Li Changfu with some hatred: "Changfu, you still don't tell the truth at this time?" Did you really watch Li Yang leave you? ”
Ma Laodao will return to the futon, and he will not pay attention to Li Changgui and the two brothers, after a while, Li Changfu made a lot of determination, and then nodded fiercely and said to Li Changgui: "Cousin, you also know what I do, a year ago, I received a female corpse from the tomb robber, and I will turn myself in after this matter is resolved, I hope you can help me take care of Li Yang." ”
"It's not enough to just take a female corpse, is it? Besides, why take revenge on Li Yang? Aren't the grave robbers being retaliated against? Li Changgui asked with some puzzlement.
"Okay, I already know what you have done, as for whether you surrender or not, that's your business, if you can turn yourself in, of course, you can alleviate some of your sins, those tomb robbers will naturally receive due retribution, tomorrow you will take your son to Li Changgui's house." Ma Laodao interrupted suddenly.
"Did the Taoist promise to save my son?"
"I can only protect him for ten years, and after ten years, he needs to resolve this grievance by himself."
"Thank you, Chief."
"Don't rush to thank me yet, I'm conditional."
"Yes, yes, you can just ask, if you don't want it, I can sell my property."
"Hmph, I don't want money, my only request is that you have to raise my apprentice, and I will travel all over the world after this incident."
Hearing Ma Laodao say this, I looked at Ma Laodao in puzzlement, I was only ten years old, I didn't know much, but I could hear that Ma Laodao was leaving me, I held back tears and asked, "Master, don't you want me?" ”
"Hehe, Guoqiang, you'll understand when you grow up." Ma Laodao comforted me and said.
Li Changfu seemed to have made a lot of determination, and after a long while, he said fiercely to Li Changgui: "Cousin, Li Yang and Guoqiang will be handed over to you, after this incident, I will turn myself in, and it should be atonement, I hope Li Yang can grow up safely in the future, and I will give you 100,000 yuan as child support for the two children." ”
At that time, I had no concept of money, Ma Laodao inadvertently raised his eyebrows when he heard 100,000 yuan, and now I look at the 100,000 yuan at that time was an astronomical amount, you must know that a pound of pork in that era was only 7 dimes.
Regarding wanting to take me and Li Yang in, Li Changgui naturally did not refuse after learning that he had 100,000 yuan.
In order to heal the next day, Li Changfu rushed back to the provincial capital overnight, and Ma Laodao and I also went to his house with Li Changgui.
In the middle of the night, I vaguely heard Ma Laodao muttering to himself: "Hey, I'm afraid that this time I will lose a few years of my life." There is a knife on the head of the color word, this Li Changfu, hey. ”
At a young age, I didn't understand what Ma Laodao said, so I turned over and fell asleep again.
The next day, I was woken up by a noise just after dawn, rubbed my eyes and came to the door, and found Ma Laodao standing there early.
After a while, I saw Li Changfu come to Ma Laodao's side with a young man with five flowers, the young man was wrapped in hemp rope like a zongzi, his face was pale and terrifying, and his messy hair was the same as Ma Laodao's.
When Li Changgui saw that Li Yang was tied like this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and blamed him for some reason: "Changfu, what are you doing?" How can you do this to Li Yang? He's just a kid. ”
Li Changfu smiled bitterly and said: "Cousin, you don't know, it's not okay if you don't do this, you see that he is so thin, and his strength is like another person, you can't hold him down when he starts crazy, and I can't do anything to tie him up like this." ”
At this time, Li Yang had been taken to Ma Laodao by Li Changfu, Li Yang glanced at Ma Laodao fixedly, and then suddenly let out a woman's voice and said to Ma Laodao: "Stinky Taoist, don't be nosy, do you think you can be better than those ten people?" Can you deal with me? ”
Li Yang's sharp voice is indeed Li Changgui and I were startled, Li Changfu smiled bitterly, Ma Laodao didn't even look at Li Yang, and waved his hand to let Li Changfu Li Yang lock up in a firewood room.
Next, I thought that Ma Laodao was going to do some kind of Dafa thing, who knew that this Ma Laodao didn't care about Li Yang's life or death in the next few days, and every morning he went out for a stroll with his hands behind his back, and when it was time to eat, he would come back to eat meat and drink a lot, which made Li Changfu and they all began to wonder if Ma Laodao was cheating and cheating.
This old horse is Li Changfu's only life-saving straw, although Li Changfu has complaints, he doesn't dare to say, I also go to secretly watch Li Yang a few times every day when I have nothing to do, but every time I see Li Yang, he is singing some unknown songs, and the voice sounds really awkward.
Ma Laodao also specially told him not to care about Li Yang these days, Li Changfu will send something over when it is time to eat, Li Yang only eats some pickles and boiling water at every meal, and does not eat anything else, although Li Changfu is distressed, but Ma Laodao's explanation he still dare not disobey.
Such days lasted until the seventh day, Ma Laodao came to the firewood room, pulled a chair and sat in front of Li Yang, and at this time Li Yang was like a headless fly, bumping around, trying to find the door to go out but never found the right direction, seeing Ma Laodao's arrival, there was a low roar in his throat.
