Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Third Man
Yao Erye's seemingly salty words made the scene instantly cold.
"It's an eventful time right now, just looking for the whereabouts of the eighth master has already made Yu'er lack skills, and Yu'er is just a tuyere, and she doesn't know much about the art of holding back the treasure and holding the sheep, why doesn't the second master look for someone else?"
Sister Yu was silent for a while and spoke.
Second Master Yao seemed to have expected this a long time ago, and waved his hand to say that it was okay, I had issued a green sheep order to the thief, as long as there were people in the world, there was no way to escape the eyes of the thief, and I believe that the whereabouts of the eighth master will soon be settled.
And this time to Jiangxi, what you need to borrow is Yu'er's knowledge, as long as you can know what is in the well, and then find out how to deal with it, and leave the rest to us, don't work for the two of you.
"But ......"
Yao Erye waved his hand to interrupt Sister Yu's words, patted the table, the door was pushed open, and the leader walked in with the red carp, followed by a group of strangers who had never seen before, mostly women and children, everyone had a frightened look on their faces, and behind them stood a group of black-clothed men, holding the door tightly.
"Second Master, what do you mean?"
Sister Yu stared at the group of people puzzled.
"These are the wives and children of those leaders of your southern sect who are not very obedient, I invite them to come to the house as guests, stay for a few days, and wait for the end of the matter in Jiangxi, as long as Yu'er gives an order, they can be released to go back to reunite with their families."
Second Master Yao paused when he said this, "Besides, this time the old Suo Boss made a fuss at the helm conference, which is not a good thing, at least let you know who is a human and who is a dog under the Treasure Gate, I just want to discipline you for a few days, and when Ji Eighth Master comes back to clean up the portal, it will be much easier." ”
I looked at the men, women and children standing in the doorway, many of whom looked younger than me, and even babies in swaddling clothes, standing there in fear, some of whom were still wearing pajamas, and who had been caught in their sleep.
I couldn't bear to see them like this, so I turned my head to look at Sister Yu, but found that she Xiumei was frowning, pursing her lips and not knowing what she was thinking.
"Okay, I promise you."
After a long time, Sister Yu slowly spoke, "But Xiao Yi has just started, and he doesn't understand anything, taking him there will not only be no effect but a burden, and I alone will be enough." ”
"Sister Yu, I ......"
"Eh, young people should go out to see the world more, in that case, thank you two and a glass of wine to show your gratitude."
Yao Erye waved his hand, and after the red carp took everyone out, he filled the wine glass and drank it all.
The next meal was tasteless, Sister Yu and I took the dishes on the plate without a match, put it to my mouth but didn't have the heart to swallow it, but Yao Erye seemed to be in a very comfortable mood, and his face was red and red when he drank from cup to cup, until he began to talk nonsense This boring dinner party is not over.
Sitting in the car, I saw that Sister Yu was very concerned and didn't speak, I wanted to ask her about Jiangxi several times, but after looking at a few house slaves in the car, I couldn't help but shut up.
I finally got home, and before I entered the door, I asked Sister Yu, what is the situation in Jiangxi, how do I feel that you seem to know something.
Sister Yu stood at the door and stopped, and sighed slightly, "Listen to the voice, listen to the gongs and drums, I don't know if you noticed the expression of Second Master Yao before he opened his mouth just now, the matter of Fulongjing must be more than what he said on the surface, and I have already heard the wind, and the villagers there have not been dispersed by them at all." ”
"Didn't dispel? If something so big happens, there's no way there's no way to live there. I wondered.
"Hehe, everyone is dead, of course there is no need to live there."
Sister Yu's words made me shiver all over, and I looked at her with wide eyes and said, "All, all dead?" ”
"The big demon was born, the blood flowed like a river, the floating dragon well was originally the heaven and earth spirit cave, the monster hid in it for a long time, and its strength was probably unpredictable, this trip to Jiangxi, nine deaths."
"That's why you didn't want me to go just now? Then why did you promise him, if I'm not mistaken, those people just now should be traitors who took refuge in Lao Suotou'er, and it's a big deal to ignore them. ”
Faced with a series of questions from me, Sister Yu shook her head, "If you kill all the bad people in the world, will there be good people in this world?" ”
I didn't understand the meaning of her words, but I remembered one thing and said, "Is it true that all big demons are born like this?" ”
Sister Yu looked at me and said, "Do you want to ask about Sanchawan?" ”
I nodded.
"That thing in the Yellow River is even the eighth master is afraid of three points, he went down the Yellow River this time for a four-year appointment, you don't have to worry too much about things over there, the eighth master never does things that he is not sure of."
Four years.
I unconsciously clenched my fists, and the scene of Sanchawan being flooded appeared in front of me again, Sister Yu patted me on the shoulder, "Don't think about it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, deal with the things in front of you first, and the trip to Jiangxi may not be without a turnaround." ”
Sister Yu looked at her watch, the hour hand was already pointing to two o'clock in the morning, I thought she was going back to rest, but I didn't expect her to take out the car keys and start the car to let me get in the car.
"Mrs. Huo will only see people at this time of the night, and if you grasp the opportunity in a while, how much she can help you depends on yourself."
On the way to the road, Sister Yu kept telling me what to pay attention to later, and I was a little curious that since this Mrs. Huo could hand over the power of life and death of her five adopted sons to Sister Yu, how could she still have so many rules when she met.
But Sister Yu seemed to be very taboo about Mrs. Huo, and didn't explain much, just kept telling me that Mrs. Huo would answer whatever she asked, and don't say a word about it.
I said no more, and my eyes fell out of the window, even in a big city like Chengdu at this time, it was a quiet scene, the cars were slowly moving on empty horses, and the buildings on both sides were getting more and more dilapidated, as if they had arrived in a slum.
The car finally stopped at the mouth of an alley, and when I got out of the car, I looked at the broken tile kilns on both sides, and said a little puzzled: "How can Mrs. Huo live in such a place, don't the people who hold the treasure have any money?" ”
Sister Yu sneered when she heard this, and then said solemnly: "Mrs. Huo is eccentric by nature, and she never does things in an orderly manner, don't talk nonsense about this later, it's good for you to make her angry." ”
I scratched my head and followed Sister Yu into the alley, there were many forks in it, and there were no lights to illuminate the way, but Sister Yu seemed to be very familiar with this place, and walked left and right in the dark, and finally stopped in front of a gate with red lanterns hanging at the door of the house.
The door was old, one of those old-fashioned wooden doors, with potholes and bumps, more broken than the gate of my grandfather's house.
It's just that the big red lantern hanging on the lintel is very obvious, a bit nondescript, and it looks abrupt in the whole alley.
"That's it."
Sister Yu said, and I stepped forward to knock on the door, but before I could stretch my hand, she grabbed me, glared at me, and then reached out on tiptoe to remove the red lantern.
Just as I was looking at Sister Yu for some reason, I heard a "squeak" door latch, and someone seemed to be talking in my ears.
"He Jiadao."
The sudden sound in the empty alley startled me, and I saw that the door was not opened, and there was no one around except Sister Yu, if it weren't for Sister Yu to point a hole in the door panel, I thought it was haunted.
"Heaven and earth treasures, jade is difficult to carve, it all depends on the family."
Sister Yu replied.
These days, I have studied a lot of spring spots in the rivers and lakes, and the questions and answers of the two of them just now have eased up and understood a lot.
"He Jiadao" is to ask who you are and what you are doing at night, and "Heavenly Spirit and Earth Treasure" means that I am from the Baomen, and the jade character in "Puyu is difficult to carve" represents the name of Sister Yu, and "all by Xiangjia Swing" is the same as the previous Yujia Temple, that is, to be polite to you, hurry up and open the door for me.
After a moment of silence in the door, the door was pulled open from the inside, and the lights were not turned on inside, and by the light of the red lantern, I could vaguely see that there was a rickety old man standing at the door, obviously knowing Sister Yu, and he passed by at a glance, but when his eyes fell on me, he couldn't move away.
A pair of small eyes seemed to be shining in the dark night, looking up and down, and the goosebumps that I saw rose.
Seeing that the old man was blocking the door and not giving way, Sister Yu asked, "Ghost grandpa, is there any problem?" ”
"You three can only come in, and the other one has to wait at the door."
The old man said for no reason, I looked to the side, only me and Sister Yu, where did the third person come from, and said that this old man will not be an old man who is dizzy and sees people to see the ghost.
But Sister Yu's body shook slightly, and she twisted her neck extremely unnaturally to look behind her, and then said to the old man, "There is a ghost grandfather." ”
The old man nodded, his eyes fell on me again, he took a deep breath, and shouted, "Get out!" ”
"What?"
I looked at the old man in front of me in confusion, and before I could understand what was happening, I suddenly felt a loosening of my back, as if something had been unloaded, and the whole person was relaxed.
"This, this ......"
I shrugged my shoulders, the whole person was stupid, and I didn't feel that there was anything on my back before, but when this voice came down, the whole person fluttered, like a sandbag that had been tied for a month and suddenly untied, and it was as light as a swallow.
"Let's go."
The old man said to himself and led the way in front, and I followed behind Sister Yu, who stared at me with a somewhat complicated look, and I pursed my lips, indicating that I didn't know what was going on.
After entering the door is a small small house, the old man led us straight through the courtyard to the door of the main house, after stopping, Sister Yu handed me the red lantern and said, "Go in." ”
"Just me?" I wondered.
"Well, Mrs. Huo only sees one person every time, and it's useless for me to go, you remember what I said before, and only answer without asking, do you know?"
I nodded, steadied myself and reached out to open the door, only to find that it was also pitch black inside.
Don't the family use lights?
Although I was a little puzzled, I didn't stop, I stepped over the threshold and walked into the room, and when the whole person entered the darkness, I heard a "bang" behind me, and the door was closed.
