Chapter Twenty-Six: Asking for help from Master Jiang
After returning to the dormitory and resting for an hour or two, we were almost at the end of the day, and when I was done, he said that he would take me to take a bath in Taizitan on the other side of our county, and I was in a hurry to find Master Jiang, so I didn't go with him, and after a few sentences, I packed up my things and got on the bus to Yuncheng.
The address that my grandfather gave me was quite vague, in a small village on the edge of Yuncheng, although it was not very far, but it was particularly around, and there was a traffic jam, until the evening, I arrived at a small county nearby, just out of the station, the phone rang, it was Xiaozhu calling.
I was shocked, thinking that it wouldn't be a goof, but I didn't dare to hesitate, I picked it up directly, and Xiaozhu asked me, "Did you receive the text message I sent you the day before yesterday?" ”
I thought about it for a while, and told her that I received it, and she said that you didn't have anything to say if you received it? I didn't know how to reply to her for a while, but I guess I didn't say anything when I was angry, so I said, "Okay, I know what you mean, it seems that I saw the wrong person in the first place." ”
After saying that, she was about to hang up the phone, and I quickly told her that it wasn't what she thought, and Xiaozhu said, "Since you know what I mean, why don't you reply to me?" As she spoke, she asked me where I was, saying that she wanted to talk to me face to face, and I was about to make up a lie to deceive her, but then I thought about it, and if she found out, it would be even more difficult to explain.
I told her that I was out of town, I had something to do, and I might go back tomorrow, she smiled after listening to it, and snorted in her nose and said, "Whatever you want, what do you like, I really have a cheap hand to call you, I really don't know what is good about you, forget it, don't expect me to call you again in the future!" ”
After saying that, there was a busy beep on the phone, and she hung up for me.
Xiaozhu's phone call made my originally slightly calm heart ripple again, and I can see that she really likes me, but I have no choice, since I have already decided, let's go to Master Jiang first, as for the future, I can only take one step at a time.
According to the address given to me by my grandfather, Uncle Wang's home is in a particularly poor small village around Xinjiang County, I don't know the road, so I found a taxi driver and asked him to take me there, the driver said that the place is a bit far, and he has to pay 50 yuan for the fare, and he can't send me directly to the town, because the road conditions are not good to walk, the car is not good, so I can only send me to the vicinity of the town, and I have to walk the rest of the way by myself, I asked him how long it will take to walk over, and he said that it will be only ten or twenty minutes, quite close.
When the driver was driving, he chatted with me vigorously, asked me where I was from, I didn't listen to the accent like a local, what are you doing here, and said that there is an entertainment street in the night market in Xinjiang County, and the girls in it are good, a few are new girls, young and beautiful, and ask me if I am interested in playing, he can take me there.
I naturally understood what he meant, he wanted to take me to do that, take the opportunity to draw some money, I told him that I came to do something, I didn't plan to play those things, the driver's attitude immediately changed, a total of less than ten minutes to pull me, just threw me to a small dirt intersection outside the county, said to follow this road all the way forward, see the village will arrive.
In fact, the road conditions here are quite good, not as bad as he said before, obviously I was slaughtered by him, but this person is not familiar with the place, I will endure it, fortunately, I didn't walk for a while, there was a carriage from behind, the horse was driven by a very old man, when I looked back at him, he also looked at me vigorously.
The old man's carriage was empty, and as soon as the carriage passed me, the old man stopped and asked me, "Where are you going, young man?" ”
I pointed along the dirt road, and said to go to the village in front of me to find someone, and he asked me who I was looking for, and I said to find a person named Uncle Wang, and when the old man heard this, he sighed and asked me, "Are you going to find Master Jiang?" ”
I thought it was quite strange, and secretly thought that he knew that I was going to find Master Jiang, so I nodded to him, and the old man patted the carriage and said let me come up, he could give me a ride.
After getting into the carriage, I asked the old man, if I ran to the village, how long would it take, the old man looked at the sky, and said that at least he had to run until dark, the village was far away, by the side of the mountain, and Master Jiang lived on that mountain.
After listening to it, I scolded the eight generations of the taxi driver's ancestors, and the old man smiled and said that this is their place, and the poor mountains and bad waters are out of the people, saying that my situation is quite good, if I run into a black car driver or something, it is estimated that it has been looted now.
After chatting with the old man for a while, he asked me what I was doing with Master Jiang, I didn't say, only said that an old friend asked me to ask him for a favor, he smiled, and said that he didn't say that he also knew, it must be to see the evil coming, he said that Master Jiang is very famous in the county, and there are many people from other counties like me who come to him to see things, I nodded, and said that it is, in fact, I don't need to say it, I also understand that Master Jiang's ability is indeed very powerful.
When I arrived at the village, it was very dark, and the old man took me to Uncle Wang's house, and after chatting with Uncle Wang, I went back, and when I learned that it was my grandfather who asked me to come to Master Jiang, Uncle Wang was very enthusiastic about me, and asked me if I was in a hurry after eating at his house, and if I was not in a hurry, I would stay at his house for one night, and he would take me up the mountain tomorrow morning.
I told him that he was in a hurry, and it was best to contact Master Jiang immediately, because if he delayed for one more minute, Sister You might be more dangerous, Uncle Wang did not hesitate after listening to me, put on two clothes, took a flashlight, and took me up the mountain, before leaving, he also told me, saying that when I go up the mountain later, let me follow him, no matter what I see or hear, don't make a sound, I nodded to him and said I know.
The mountain where Master Jiang lives is not high, it is similar to our hometown Nanshan, the only difference is that there are quite a lot of trees on this mountain, and many of them are also the kind of jujube trees with thorns.
Maybe I'm afraid I'm afraid, Uncle Wang kept chatting with me along the way, through chatting, I learned that in the early years, Uncle Wang had studied Taoism with Master Jiang for two years, and he was half of his apprentice, and the reason why Master Jiang lived on the mountain, I heard Uncle Wang say that it was because there had been a mine on this mountain before, there was an accident, many people died, and the resentment was too heavy, Master Jiang was here to suppress these resentments, as for these jujube trees on the mountain, they were all planted by Master Jiang, in order not to let people rush up the mountain.
This mountain doesn't look high, and it's quite tiring to climb up, and it took a long time to climb halfway up the mountain, and at this time there was basically no trace of anyone walking, so I could only follow Uncle Wang in the dark.
Walking and walking, suddenly Uncle Wang stopped, I hit his head on the back of the waist, before I could open my mouth, Uncle Wang touched my arm, pulled me and didn't let me go, I was shocked, whispered to him What was wrong, he pointed to the front and said to me, "What is that?" ”
I was so frightened by the night that I widened my eyes and looked ahead, and I saw a black figure swaying from side to side, like a lame man, and suddenly such a thing appeared, which really startled me.
Uncle Wang muttered, saying that it was strange that there were still people on the mountain at such a late hour, but he immediately turned off the flashlight, then patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Don't panic, don't be afraid, don't be angry, don't say a word, you know?" ”
I quickly nodded, saying that I was not afraid that it was fake, and looking at Uncle Wang's reaction, I could also guess what was on the other side.
Uncle Wang asked me to follow him, told me to relax as much as possible, don't look at him, pretend that nothing happened, I didn't say anything, I followed him closely, and walked over there.
The closer I got to that figure, the more frightened I became, and strange to say, that man was walking towards us, such a large forest, he did not go in any other direction, but on our side, and did not mean to give way at all.
Uncle Wang also felt that something was wrong, and walked a little to the left, and I followed him, my eyes looking at the ground vigorously, thinking that something must not happen.
