I, Uncle Zhao, have been covering my face with newspapers, and I deliberately stayed away from my master, acting as if I didn't know my master.

Xian'er finally scolded: "Damn, the old immortal thing!" ”

provoked my master to glare at her fiercely, but the people in the carriage couldn't see her, and thought that my master was glaring at me.

The young couple probably thought that my master was too dangerous, so they immediately packed up their salutes and left the carriage, and they didn't know where they went, and they didn't come back until we got off the train.

For the next period of time, Xian'er occasionally complained about boredom, but she didn't do anything too much. In addition to eating and sleeping, I just kept doing my homework.

When the train arrived at the station, the time was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and the person who picked up the station was Senior Brother Zhuang, who was still the same as before, but the suit on his body had been changed to the recently popular style.

There is still a long way to go from the train station to Jisoul Village, because it is too late, Senior Brother Zhuang arranged a place for us to live.

It should be the first time I lived in a hotel in my life, the hotel is open in the downtown area, the façade is a simple light plate made of light-emitting diodes, and the door is also dirty, at first glance it is the kind of small hotel that does not even have a business license.

The situation on the first floor can also be described as "dirty", I saw several cobwebs on the wall behind the counter, and no one came to clean them.

But after going up to the second floor, the environment suddenly became very clean and tidy, even the paint on the walls seemed to be freshly painted, white as snow, without any stains, but on such walls, there was no peculiar smell of new paint.

When Brother Zhuang took me to the room closest to the entrance of the building, I found that there was no keyhole on the door!

I saw Senior Brother Zhuang take out a card from the pocket of his suit and swipe it next to the doorknob, and the door was able to open.

It's no wonder that I haven't seen the world, and in '97, this kind of swiping door lock was still very rare.

Senior Brother Zhuang put my salute in the closet and said to me with a smile: "This hotel is the property of our Soul Village. Above the second floor, all of them are used to receive fellow travelers, and it is very difficult to reserve a room here in the middle of July every year. ”

In fact, I only learned later that the middle of July in Senior Brother Zhuang's mouth is the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, Halloween.

Not long after, my master and Uncle Zhao also came over, and the master was still holding the black gossip mirror in his hand, and said to Senior Brother Zhuang: "You have learned, there is something to trouble you." ”

Senior Brother Zhuang smiled at my master: "Uncle Shi, if there is anything, just tell me." ”

My master handed the gossip mirror to Senior Brother Zhuang and said, "As you know, I rushed back to Shandong with your Uncle Zhao two days ago because something happened to Youdao's family. Now, although Youdao is fine, I'm worried that Youdao's parents ......."

Listening to Master's words, I immediately became nervous: "What's wrong with my parents? ”

Master waved his hand at me, signaling me not to speak yet, and then said to Senior Brother Zhuang, "This gossip mirror has been sitting under the bed board in the master bedroom for several months, and it was not taken down by Youdao until a few days ago. Look at it, this thing won't have any impact on the parents of the Tao, right? ”

Senior Brother Zhuang carefully looked at the gossip mirror, and his face suddenly became stunned: "This gossip mirror is not Zhao Zongdian......

My fellow apprentice is in Jisoul Village, and his popularity seems to be very bad, and even Senior Brother Zhuang, who has always been respectful to his elders, even calls him by his name when he is mentioned.

However, before Senior Brother Zhuang could say the rest of the words, my master interrupted him: "My senior brother's matter has not yet been decided. I just want to know now, will this gossip mirror have any impact on the parents of the Tao. ”

Senior Brother Zhuang pinched his fingers and counted for a while, and said helplessly: "There must be an impact." Senior Brother Zuo's mother is fine, and the minor illness has passed. But his father, in the middle of next year, would have had financial luck, but this road of wealth and luck is fire luck, Zhao Zongdian's black gossip, the five elements are biased towards water, and water overcomes fire, which will inevitably block the financial road of Taoism. Next year, the junior brother's family will definitely be ruined. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, it's just a broken fortune, it's not a big deal, as long as the person is okay, anyway, our family doesn't have much money, it's no different if it doesn't break the wealth.

But my master still looked preoccupied, and asked Senior Brother Zhuang again, "Can it be remedied?" ”

Senior Brother Zhuang shook his head: "There is no way to remedy it." ”

At this time, my Uncle Zhao interjected next to him: "Okay, okay, isn't it just a ruin, it's okay if people are fine." Don't be verbose, go to sleep, I'll be on my way tomorrow. There is Tao and learning, and the two of you live in the same room. Senior Brother Chai, I just have something to discuss with you, so you can just take it tonight. ”

My master nodded, and followed my Uncle Zhao out.

After Master left, Senior Brother Zhuang said that he was going out to buy food, and before leaving, he asked me if I wanted to eat spicy food.

When my master usually cooks for me, he occasionally puts some chili peppers, so I don't think much about it, so I just say eat it.

That was my first time in Sichuan, and I didn't know that the chili peppers in this place and the chili peppers I usually eat are two species!

Senior Brother Zhuang probably saw me for the first time and wanted to treat me well, and the meals he bought back were all local famous foods, such as mapo tofu, Mao Xuewang, lung slices, rabbit dice, all of them, and the portion of each dish was not large, but it was not wasted.

Almost all of the dishes are glowing with red oil, which makes people particularly appetizing at first glance. But I didn't wait for a few bites before I felt that something was wrong, it felt as if a fire was lit in my mouth, and my tongue and lips were numb, not only numb, but also painful for a while.

But I have to say that such a spicy dish is really enjoyable to eat, so I can't stop at all.

When Senior Brother Zhuang saw that I kept sticking out my tongue because of the spicy, and at the same time endured the spicy energy and kept eating, he poured me a glass of ice water and said with a smile: "Gua Wazi." ”

At that time, I had a much larger amount of food than my peers, and Senior Brother Zhuang was afraid that I would not be able to eat enough, so he bought a hot and sour noodle and came back. When I ate this bowl of sour noodles, my tongue was numb and I didn't feel spicy, but the smooth taste and sourness made me feel particularly enjoyable.

After drinking a bowl of hot and sour noodles, although I was already full, I felt that I could eat more. Senior Brother Zhuang said that it was the first time I had eaten such a spicy thing, and my stomach would not be able to stand it if I ate too much, so he didn't buy it for me again.

After eating, Senior Brother Zhuang turned on the TV, and it happened that there was a ball game on those two days, so he sat on the bed, drinking beer and watching TV, chatting with me.

It was only later that I learned that Senior Brother Zhuang was a highly knowledgeable and profound person in the fortune-telling business, and he was also a leader in their lineage. In the eyes of ordinary people, my Senior Brother Zhuang can be called a master.

But such a master, there are also laypeople's hobbies, Senior Brother Zhuang's biggest hobby is football, every time he sees a beautiful goal, he will be so excited that he dances, and even shouts loudly, harming the master and uncle who live next door to us, from time to time will smash the wall hard, reminding Senior Brother Zhuang to be quiet.

However, at that time, I was not interested in football, and after watching TV with Senior Brother Zhuang for a while, sleepiness came up, and I simply washed up and fell asleep.

But when I slept until the middle of the night, there was a strange movement in the next room.

I was still dreaming when I heard an unusually heavy wheezing sound in my ears, and it didn't look like a panting sound to be exact, because there was only an inhalation, not an exhalation.

I don't know how to use that onomatopoeia to describe the sound at the time, but it was probably something like "uh-uh-", and it sounded painful and unusually hoarse.

I was so shocked that I sat up, looked at Senior Brother Zhuang, and found that Senior Brother Zhuang also opened his cigarette dimly, he smiled at me a little embarrassedly, and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine after a while, let's sleep." ”

Just as Senior Brother Zhuang was speaking, the sound had stopped, and I wanted to ask what was going on, but Senior Brother Zhuang was already asleep, and there was a slight snoring sound from him.

Since Senior Brother Zhuang said that it was okay, I didn't think much about it and lay down to sleep again.

This night, I slept very unsteadily, because the hoarse inhalation sound appeared from time to time, and then disappeared from time to time, every time I was about to fall asleep, it appeared, and when I woke up completely, it would disappear again, that kind of sound, it really made people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

During this time, Xian'er never appeared, and I tried to talk to her in my heart, but she ignored me.

Early in the morning, my master knocked on our door and told me to go out for morning exercises.

Morning exercise is still the same old way, first practice a set of heart exercises, and then stand on the pile, run, and boil up the strength, because the perennial standing pile and boiling strength, will make my bone seams close prematurely, affecting the development of the body, so at the end of the morning exercise, I have to practice the heart cultivation exercise again.

After the morning exercise, it was time for me to go to the toilet, but Xian'er was still on my shoulder, and I hesitated for a long time, but I didn't dare to go to the toilet.

My master was going out to buy food, but he probably noticed that my face was wrong, so he asked me, "What's wrong, I'm not feeling well?" Also, this is your first time in the south, and it's normal to be a little uncomfortable. ”

I squirmed for most of the day before I said, "No, I want to go to the toilet, but Xian'er ......"

As soon as the master heard this, he knew what I was worried about, and he was immediately happy: "Hehehe, silly boy, you think too much, so people disdain to look at you!" Oh yes, the herbs on your shoulder can be removed. Just when you're sweating, go take a hot shower. Alright, don't think about it, I'll go buy food. ”

After my master left, I was still worried, so I tried to talk to Xian'er: "Xian'er, are you awake?" ”

This time, Xian'er responded, and she replied to me very unhappily: "What are you doing?" ”

I thought hard for a moment before I asked her, "Wait...... That one...... You won't peek huh? ”

Xian'er immediately yelled at me: "Get out! Are you disgusting, are you sick! ”
