Chapter 7: Descending the Mountain

I slept very well this night, maybe because I was tired, I slept until dawn, and I was used to getting up at home listening to the roosters crowing, but here it was very quiet, only the squeaky of birds in the trees outside, which seemed very good. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Standing in the courtyard, I washed my face with some water in the water tank, and went to wake up the strong son, who slept so hard that he called twice before getting up.

Qiangzi also felt a lot more energetic after washing his face, "Tianyi, I have to find my dad and them quickly in a while, we know the place of this fox-faced ghost, call someone to clean him up."

"No, why do you seem to have a grudge against him, the last time I saw you, what did he have with you?".

"You forgot how my grandfather died, if he hadn't come, would my grandfather have died? He is the one who harmed him."

I was just about to speak, when I heard someone behind me speak, "Your grandfather is fate, how can you say that I was harmed, you thank me for it, and don't call me a fox-faced ghost, call me Uncle Dao, if I hear you say this again, be careful that I seal your mouth."

His words startled me and Qiangzi, I'm okay, Qiangzi was obviously scared, and he said bad things behind his back was heard, and Qiangzi didn't dare to say anything when he wanted to refute it.

It turns out that his surname is Dao, and this surname is really small, but I don't know what to call Dao, "Dao...... Uncle Dao, can we go now? ”。

"Yes", he nodded, "There are still two packages in the house, you two go and take them out".

Qiangzi and I were a little puzzled, but we didn't dare not listen, so we went into the room and wrapped two big bags on the generous table, fortunately they were not too big, and Qiangzi and I took them out one by one.

"Where to throw it?" , I asked the man in gray.

"What to throw where? That's my belongings, you two help me hold them, be careful, there are a few important items in it, if you break it, you two will have to pay for it."

"Where do you want us to help you get it?" I asked again.

"Didn't I say it yesterday, let's go down the mountain today, of course, to your house", he looked at me after speaking.

I just remembered what he said, last night he seemed to have said that they would go down the mountain together, but I didn't understand what he meant at the time, I didn't expect it to be true, and I went to my house, I couldn't figure it out, but after careful thinking, I also understood, yesterday it seemed that I was in a master-apprentice relationship with him, and he really became my master to go to my house and said in the past, but I don't know how the people in the village will react when they see him.

"Uncle Dao, how long will it take us to go down?" , I was a little anxious, because I didn't come home last night and didn't know what the family was in a hurry.

"Soon, but let's go to a place and find some people first," he said unhurriedly, walking down the aisle in front of him.

As he walked beside me, he asked me, "Is this uncle going to your house?" It seems to be quite close to your home."

I glared at Qiangzi, "When did you see my house and him getting closer, it wasn't last night that he said that he would accept me as an apprentice and he was going to my house."

"Took you as an apprentice last night? How did I not know? When was this? Hadron asked puzzled.

"You don't pretend to be confused, you don't hear or see, don't you still say that other people's tricks are good."

Qiangzi looked dazed, "Did I say that?" How I don't remember".

I didn't bother to talk to him, and I didn't pick him up, I just wanted to go down the mountain early, and I didn't reply when Qiangzi asked me several times, and he also shut up.

After walking for less than half an hour, the man in gray stopped and said to me and Qiangzi, "You two go over and wake them up, it's time to go home."

Qiangzi and I poked our heads forward and looked forward, there was a thick tree in the middle of a clearing in front of us, and there were more than a dozen people lying around the tree, and it turned out to be those who came up the mountain yesterday, my father, Uncle Liu, and Uncle Shen were all there, and more than a dozen people were lying on the ground around a tree as if they were asleep.

Qiangzi and I hurriedly put down the bag and ran over, pushing and screaming one by one, which woke everyone up, my dad opened his eyes and yawned and looked at me, and was suddenly stunned, "Why did you kid run here?" It's not like you're going to stay at home."

I didn't answer him, "Dad, why are you lying here sleeping?" ”。

My dad was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to be thinking about something, looking at the other people around him and muttering, "Why am I lying here, not looking for someone."

After a while, everyone else woke up, but fortunately, they all just woke up, and there was no other phenomenon, and everyone didn't know why they were lying here, but they all remembered that they had been walking and wanted to walk down the mountain, and they didn't remember what they were asleep for.

At this time, the man in gray spoke, "It's all awake, let's leave quickly when we wake up, and we can still catch up for lunch."

When he spoke, everyone noticed that there was another person here, and everyone was startled, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say for a while, the first to react was Uncle Shen, "Excuse me, are you, are you ......."

Before he finished speaking, the man in gray said: "Yes, it's me, go back first, and then talk about what you have to say."

After saying that, he turned around and left, I pulled down my dad, "Go back first, mom is waiting at home", my dad came to his senses, Qiangzi and I picked up the bags on the ground and followed the gray man, my dad and more than ten of them followed me and Qiangzi one after another, and the last few people were still talking about something, I didn't hear clearly.

The descent of the mountain is relatively fast, less than an hour we walked down, just arrived at the foot of the mountain and found that there are many people below, led by the village chief Fang, who is talking to the people below, and someone happened to see us coming down.

Village Chief Fang turned his head and saw that we were stunned at first, and then his face was full of puzzlement, and he stood there and didn't dare to move.

"Village Chief Fang", Qiangzi shouted out first, and the people behind us heard Qiangzi's shout and quickened their pace to catch up, and Village Chief Fang saw my father at this time and they came up, and the two waves of people met each other.

The people brought by the village chief were all from the village, both men and women, with everything in their hands, hoes, wooden sticks, iron chains, and dog beating sticks.

The man in gray stood aside and watched them and didn't speak, what did Village Chief Fang and Uncle Shen say, and they glanced at the man in gray from time to time, and some people came up and wanted to help me and Qiangzi get the package, thinking it was our things, Qiangzi and I didn't dare to give it, for fear that they would break the things inside, who knows what there is, in case it is really valuable, you can't afford to accompany it.

If there is anything to talk about, I will not talk about it at this time, and after a while, everyone will be fine, my father and Uncle Liu accompanied Village Chief Fang and slowly walked to the gray-clothed man.

"Uh, that, ghost, ghost brother", Village Chief Fang looked at the gray-clothed man who was younger than him, and he didn't know what to call it, I think he might want to call the ghost master.

"It's a long time, just call me Brother Dao, don't be so coated."

Village Chief Fang was stunned, few people would call him that, people outside the village called him Village Chief Fang, and the name of Yichang was only called so by his father when he was a child, seeing that the man in gray was not as big as him and still called him like this, he was a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to offend him.

"Uh, Dao, Dao......, that one who heard that you were going to our village? Is it true? ”。

"Yes, it's true."

"Uh, then, can you tell me which one is going to have an accident this time?".

The man in gray looked up and pointed at me, and I saw that my dad was almost sitting on the ground, but fortunately someone was holding him next to him.

Village Chief Fang's face changed, "Xiao Shi's family? Uh, it's ......".

The man in gray made a straight face, "You haven't been able to change this problem since you were a child, don't always uh uh, the Shi family is fine, I am going to live in his house."

Village Chief Fang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and my father also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, and chatted for a word or two, and finally Village Chief Fang walked to the village with the gray-clothed man in front, saying that it was actually more like a servant waiting on the side.

A few of the fast-legged ones ran back to the village first, and the village chief Fang instructed the villagers to prepare some delicious wine and entertain them at my house, because the gray-clothed man said that he would only go to my house.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, it was noon, and many people gathered at the entrance of the village, including men and women, old and young, and many of them who were busy working in the fields also returned, as if a group of people were greeting the new daughter-in-law.
