Chapter 231: The Four Great Gates (17)
"Fox?" I subconsciously asked, and there was an uproar in my heart.
Fox, actually a fox.
Does this gambler Su have some kind of relationship with the fox? Or is it something else.
The gambler Su listened to my words, glanced at me deeply, and said softly, "Yes, it's the fox." ”
"You see the fox?" I hurriedly asked.
He stopped and sighed: "Don't hide it, I originally intended to marry Niu'er for 50,000 yuan, but just last night, I had a dream." ”
"Dreams?" I was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Is it related to foxes?" ”
He hummed, looked up to the other side, and whispered, "It's really related to foxes, I dreamed... Dream... I dreamed that I was lying in a coffin, and there was a white-haired fox on top of the coffin, and it kept scratching the coffin board. ”
After saying this, his face became extremely solemn, and he continued: "Xiao Chuanzi, you may think that this dream is normal, you can just look at this again." ”
While speaking, he glanced outside again, and saw that there was no one, so he pulled up the clothes on his upper body, and when I saw it, there was nothing on his chest, it was normal, and the gambler Su said again: "Look at it." ”
I wasn't polite, I got up slowly, and walked behind him, and when Dingqing saw it, I was almost scared to death.
But see, his whole back presents a large trace, one by one criss-crossed, the side of the trace is bloodstained, particularly shocking, the most evil thing is that the trace seems to be scratched out by the claws of some animal, I reached out and touched it, the first feeling of the hand is, the chill is bone-chilling, frowning: "Does it hurt?" ”
He shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's strange here, these scratches don't hurt or itch." ”
When I heard this, I frowned, raised my hand and touched the mark again, and said in a deep voice: "Did it get out of it?" ”
He seemed to think of something, and his voice became a little excited, "Absolutely not, you know Niu'er well, you should know what kind of person I am, I usually don't do other farm work except for gambling, and it is impossible to get so many scars on my body, and then there is, yesterday, when I took a bath, there were no these traces, but after I had that dream at night, these traces appeared on my body inexplicably." ”
As he spoke, he sighed deeply, then took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, handed me a cigarette, and lit another one himself.
Lighting the cigarette, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "This morning, I was wondering if I was about to die, that's... I started planning to give my daughter-in-law and Niu'er a few of them a certain way back. ”
Listening to his words, I immediately understood, if I guessed correctly, this gambler Su thought that he was dying, and his personality changed greatly, otherwise, with his character, he would definitely not be willing to take 10,000 yuan out.
When I think about it, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
At the moment, I didn't think much about it, lit the cigarette handed over by the gambler Su, took a puff, and asked him, "Then what are you going to do now?" ”
He glanced up at me, flicked the ash off his cigarette butt, and sighed, "What else can I do?" I'm all dying, I just hope that a few of them will have someone to take care of in the future. ”
With that, he slowly got up and knelt down towards me.
This frightened me, and quickly pulled him up, "What are you doing, you don't need to say it, I will do my best to help my junior sister, but it's your business, I don't feel like it's a sign that you're going to die." ”
"That's?" He asked, his eyes fixed on me.
Honestly, I wanted to tell him that these things were evil, but they were definitely not going to hurt his life, because I had examined the scars on his back, and they were very shallow, just scratching his skin.
However, as soon as I thought of his change to Su Xiaoman, I planned to tell a lie, and it could be regarded as seeking some welfare for Su Xiaoman and them, so I said: "Maybe the fox is punishing you." ”
"Punishment?" He didn't seem to understand what I meant, and stared at me suspiciously.
I nodded slightly, "Do you think, are you usually lazy and disgusting, it must be that the fox fairy can't see it, so he deliberately left these traces on his back, the purpose of which is to let you be a good person in the future, be a qualified husband, and be a qualified father, otherwise, next time, the fox fairy may kill you." ”
Speaking the last few words, my tone was particularly gloomy, this is also something that can't be helped, since I plan to lie to him, I naturally have to pretend to be a little bit.
However, then again, why does this gambler Su have such a dream?
That's not right, according to the news I know, the fox killed five people in this brisket village, why did the gambler Su have such a dream?
I couldn't figure it out, and I didn't think about it deeply.
And when the gambler Su heard my words, his face turned ecstatic, and he said in a trembling voice: "You... Are you sure it's just punishment? ”
I hummed and said, "Yes!" ”
He also said: "Is that as long as I am a good person in the future, I will have no worries about my life?" ”
I smiled in my heart, looking at this situation, the gambler Su completely believed my words, and said: "Yes, as long as you are a good person, I will ensure that you are fine." ”
In order to pretend to be a little more like, I made the gambler Su kneel on the edge of his altar and burned some yellow paper, while I read some harmless words to him, and at last I found a small wooden board that was one finger long and two fingers wide, and carved a swastika symbol on it.
After getting these things, I handed the small wooden board to the gambler Su, and said in a deep voice: "You must take it with you, and you can't leave it for a moment." ”
The gambler Su took the small plank excitedly, thanked me for Dade, almost didn't kneel down for me, and said vigorously, from now on, he must be a good man.
I am quite pleased with this, and it can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
Subsequently, I chatted with the gambler Su for a while, it was all some trivial matters, and I didn't know whether the gambler Su was intentional or unintentional, whenever I mentioned the word fox, he always subconsciously avoided this question.
This made me so depressed, but I didn't think much about it, but since the gambler Su had promised to be a good person, this trip to the brisket village was not in vain.
It was about 10 o'clock in the evening, the gambler Su called a few babies in his family, and called his daughter-in-law, brought some fruits and put them on the table of the eight immortals, and we sat around the table of the eight immortals, and chatted for about half an hour.
Half an hour later, according to what I meant, since Su Xiaoman's matter is settled, I have to go to Captain Peng.
The strange thing is that when the gambler Su heard that I was going to find Captain Peng, he grabbed me and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Chuanzi, you are my Niu'er's senior brother, and I won't harm you, let's be honest with you, then Captain Peng, I know." ”
"Huh? Do you know? "I was stunned, this is impossible! As a gambler Su, how could he know Captain Peng.
He hummed and said in a deep voice: "When I met him, he was only a few years old, and if I really want to talk about it, it has to go back to twenty years ago, when a strange thing happened in our village, Captain Peng and his father came to our village. ”
