Chapter 424: A Strange Family
Wu Biaozi painted a great vision for me, and after assisting me to regain the position of hall master, he immediately began to renovate the interior of the ghost hall, to keep pace with the times, and then he contacted the Wuji faction in Taiwan, and there would be a large amount of money and talent injected in.
Zhang Chong said excitedly while driving, "Master, what position will you arrange for me then?" ”
Wu Biaozi said: "What do you want me to arrange for you, it depends on the hall master." Before I could speak, he said, "You kid is very good, and when the time comes, you will be allowed to enter the External Relations Department of the Ghost Hall, which is responsible for contacting overseas bigwigs." ”
Zhang Chong was so happy that he was about to bubble with snot.
I didn't bother to say anything, I closed my eyes in the car. The car drove all morning, and at dusk, it was almost in Xingtai Town. Wu Biaozi instructed Zhang Chong to stop on the side of the road, and he called a person and said something mysteriously. Wu Biaozi put down the phone and said to me: "Hall Master, I have already contacted the Purple Qi Dongfang of the Ghost Hall, we can go to his house now, but don't say anything superfluous, just watch me act." ”
I wondered and asked him why he was so careful.
Wu Biaozi said: "You don't know, since Su Huanzhen and Liu Jiahe controlled the power, with Xingtai Town as the center, a network of believers has been formed. The center is the main hall, and the surrounding villages and towns are branch altars, and the people in the ten miles and eight towns are almost all believers in the ghost hall. There are weekly prayers, regular initiation ceremonies, and those good men and women have been brainwashed by them and become the peripheral personnel of the ghost hall. The family in the Purple Qi East is basically all believers in the Ghost Hall, and they are very vigilant, as soon as we appear, someone will immediately report to the branch altar. So be cautious to avoid startling the snake. ”
I nodded, I didn't expect the organization of the Ghost Hall to grow so tightly.
Wu Biaozi told Zhang Chong a few more words, and Zhang Chong drove into Xingtai Town.
I thought that Xingtai Town was controlled by the ghost hall, and the people must be bored or something, but as soon as I entered the town, it was really unexpected, the whole town was clean and tidy, and there was no garbage on the ground. Because it is close to the mountains, the air is fresh. It's early summer, and the roadside is full of cherry blossom trees, which are colorful and pink.
Our car slowly moved forward, and we could see the orderly queue of people at the bus station, and the diners in the restaurant greeted the boss affectionately after eating, and the boss personally sent every diner to the door, bowed and sent them away. Civility and politeness have become the norm, like a paradise.
I was dumbfounded: "This place is really good, how can it be like a model town, there is still such a place in our northeast?" ”
Wu Biaozi snorted: "It's all a trick to win people's hearts, it's nothing more than brainwashing." ”
Wu Biaozi showed Zhang Chong the way, and we soon arrived in front of a house, which was quite large, and when we got to the door, we could hear the chickens and dogs smelling each other, as well as the laughter of children. We got out of the car, including Zhang Chong's girlfriend and the White Lotus Lady, both of whom were now corpse puppets and looked like ordinary people.
When he arrived at the door, Wu Biaozi called the door. After a long time, the door opened, and it was a little daughter-in-law who asked us in the local dialect: "What are you doing?" ”
"I am a friend of Chen Dongfang, and my surname is Wu." Wu Biaozi cleaned up and stood upright, changed into a suit and pants on his lower body, and couldn't see his disability for the time being.
The little daughter-in-law shouted inside: "Dad, someone is looking for you." ”
After a short time, an old man came out of it, in good spirits, his brain was bright, and he saw Wu Biaozi and said with a smile: "Old Wu, I haven't seen you for a few days, come, come, come in." ”
A few of us were invited into the yard, where a family was packing up mountain goods, and a child pedaled a tricycle, giggling all over the yard, a scene of home and everything prosperous.
Chen Dongfang asked us if we had eaten, and we would start eating in a while.
Wu Biaozi said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Lao Chen, I came all the way to come in a hurry, and I didn't bring you anything." ”
Chen Dongfang laughed and invited us into the main hall: "Look at what you said, Xiaowen, serve tea to the guests." ”
The little daughter-in-law went to work, her hands and feet were really quick, and it didn't take long for her to bring us hot tea.
Wu Biaozi and Chen Dongfang seem to have a tacit understanding, they don't talk a word about the topic of ghosts, and they talk about insignificant old news. But I could observe that Chen Dongfang's eyes drifted towards me from time to time, and he was looking at me.
After chatting for a while, Chen Dongfang asked Wu Biaozi: "Who are you here, give me an introduction." ”
Wu Biaozi said: "This is my apprentice Zhang Chong, that is his object." ”
Zhang Chong and his girlfriend stood up to greet Chen Dongfang, Chen Dongfang looked at the White Lotus Lady, and could see that his expression was extremely shocked. Wu Biaozi said: "This is the White Lotus." ”
Chen Dongfang looked at Wu Biaozi and didn't speak for a long time, he must have known the White Lotus Lady. He couldn't understand why the White Lotus Lady was with Wu Biaozi and behaved so strangely.
I silently say this, Chen Dongfang is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, this person is extremely deep. Wu Biaozi suddenly came to his house, and with such a team of strange people, he was full of suspicion, but he didn't rush to ask, and he was quite calm.
Chen Dongfang looked at me: "Who is this?" ”
I said, "My name is Feng Ziwang, and I am a friend of Lao Wu. ”
Chen Dongfang looked at me, didn't speak for a long time, and stretched: "You sit first." Lao Wu, I got a few old goods here, and I picked up the best tobacco, and came with me to the back to taste it? ”
Wu Biaozi smiled and said, "I can't ask for it." ”
The two talked and laughed and went to the back, the only living people in the main hall were me and Zhang Chong, and we had nothing to talk about, Zhang Chong sat there sullenly, drinking tea one by one. As soon as I came out of the house, I saw their little daughter-in-law, named Xiaowen, lying on the window of the hall and eavesdropping on us.
I'm not happy, what kind of character does this person have, and he likes to lie on the crack of the door.
I coughed heavily, Xiaowen suddenly realized that she saw me come out, and smiled awkwardly: "Hello." ”
I didn't tear her down, and said, "I'm sorry, ask how to get to your toilet." ”
Xiaowen said: "There is no toilet in the hall, in the back, you come with me." ”
I followed her from the front yard, where there were four or five large tiled houses, and I could see that the family was well-off, and they were considered middle-class in the local area, and there was a big yard in the back.
There is a small toilet in the courtyard in the corner, it is convenient for me to go in, and Xiaowen is watching outside. I was not happy about this, and I went out and said, "Are you okay?" ”
Xiaowen hurriedly said, "Is there any toilet paper in it?" ”
"I'm peeing, you should be busy with you." I say.
Xiaowen also felt that it was convenient to wait for a gay man outside, as if it was not very convenient, so she said, "I'm leaving." You know the way back, right? ”
I snorted in disgust. Xiaowen walked away.
I think something is wrong with this place, looking at the peaceful family life, why is the atmosphere so weird, their family looks like a thief when they look at outsiders.
I came out of the toilet, not in a hurry to go back, wandering around the yard, pushing the doors of every big tiled house, trying to find out what secrets were here. As I turned around, I heard Wu Biaozi's voice coming from a room: "...... Dongfang, who do you think he looks like? ”
I tiptoed over and crouched under the window to listen.
"Huh." Chen Dongfang smiled and did not speak.
Wu Biaozi said: "You are still so cunning and cunning, do you have to wait for me to say no?" You don't look like our former Hu Tang Master. ”
Chen Dongfang let out an "um". I can hear how much emotion he has in a "hmm".
Wu Biaozi said: "I have endured for 20 years, and finally seized the opportunity, a godsend!" This time, I will definitely be able to recapture the Onido......"
Chen Dongfang interrupted him: "Just him? ”
Wu Biaozi said: "Hehe, how can it, there are still people behind me, and my connection with the Wuji faction has not been broken over the years." This time, the right time, place and people are all ready. Old man, you are willing to let those people ride on our old buddies and, just like this stinky old girl......"
I was listening, and suddenly someone shouted at the door, "Guest, guest, where are you?" ”
I was startled, and the two people in the room were extremely alert and immediately stopped talking. I know it's not good, turn around and leave. I took a few steps to the backyard, but I didn't know if I was found.
When I arrived in the backyard, I saw Xiaowen shouting in the men's toilet: "Guest, guest? ”
I hurriedly said, "I'm here." ”
Xiaowen looked at me suspiciously: "You're done with convenience, where have you gone?" ”
I'm not happy, you don't care where the I go.
Xiaowen was very stern: "Guest, do you know the four words of guest and host." When you get to someone's house, is it just running around? Do you have a tutor? ”
I was furious: "You clean your mouth, I haven't been to your house yet, and you're staring at me like a thief." Do you have a tutor? You have a tutor and you listen to people through the crack in the door. ”
I quarreled with her, Chen Dongfang and Wu Biaozi didn't know when they came, and hurriedly stopped us: "Okay, okay, what's there to quarrel about, it's all trivial." ”
Wu Biaozi made a look at me, meaning to let me bear with it.
Chen Dongfang was criticizing his daughter-in-law: "Xiaowen, no matter what, this is also a guest of our family, you bowed into the hall and went to a meeting, how did the altar master teach, is there a civilized norm that when you see the teacher, you should be polite and generous when you meet the guests, and you have forgotten?" ”
Xiaowen puffed out and didn't speak.
Chen Dongfang looked at me, without any expression on his face, and said, "Guests, please sit down in the front hall, the meal will be served in a while." ”
