Chapter 203: The Old Man Who Knocked His Bones and Asked for Money
He kept knocking, singing in a melody and poignant manner, and I finally pulled out the ten dollars from the girl's hand and put it in the jar he was holding.
The old man took the ten dollars out of the jar and rubbed them with his hands, then he laughed twice and turned around and walked into the crowd in front of him, his figure was quickly overwhelmed by the crowd of people coming and going, only a few lyrics were sung and came from a distance from time to time.
After the old man left, the girl was still pouting, not to mention that this Nizi looked very good when she was angry, her face was flushed, I walked over and put my mouth directly on her mouth, and kissed it deeply, and the girl's heart suddenly popped and jumped.
This kiss lasted for a long time, and when I turned around, Du Zifeng and Gu Yibai were laughing there, and many men and women slapped their hands.
The girl's face was flushed shyly, and I was afraid that she would be scared because of embarrassment, so I wrapped my clothes around her head and rushed out of the crowd.
The cool breeze blew gently, and the girl's small head rested against my warm chest, and we walked back like this.
When I went back, Cai Lanhua had already prepared a meal, and it was a table full of Miao specialties, fragrant mushrooms, wild mushrooms, and delicious fish in sour soup.
While I was eating, Qiao Mingsheng walked in, his face was obviously a little pale, and he sat aside politely when he saw me eating.
Cai Lanhua, the eldest aunt, is very good, and when she saw Qiao Mingsheng hurriedly gave him a bowl of rice, she enthusiastically handed it over.
Qiao Mingsheng took the rice bowl and sipped it carefully, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
From the moment he entered the door, I noticed that something was wrong, at first I thought it was because he had just solved the Gu and his body had not recovered, but now looking at his appearance, I quickly took two mouthfuls of food, and then asked what happened.
Qiao Ming stiffly propped up his thin body, and he said that he found the boy who fought with him, and he was in the crab ditch not far from the village.
Looking at Qiao Mingsheng's appearance, I knew that it was not that simple, so I rushed to Crab Gully.
The ravine lives up to its name, with roads on its left and right leading in all directions, and from a distance it looks like an eight-legged crab.
The boy was standing straight on a small dirt slope on the hillside.
There was not a trace of life in his body, and his back was like a javelin.
Looking at the boy, I walked over slowly, and after walking to the front, my face turned pale with shock, and a gesture stopped Jiang Wenshan and the others who kept approaching.
The boy's appearance was terrifying, his mouth and nose were bloody, and his eyes were wide open.
How could this be, it was fine the day before yesterday, why did you die here today.
Looking at his appearance, I knew that he had not been dead for a long time, which meant that he died here after the fight with Qiao Mingsheng.
Yesterday, I was still a little annoyed that this kid was so vicious at such a young age, and gave such a vicious worm to others.
And now I feel a lot of sympathy for this child, who was twelve or three years old at most, and died like that.
His appearance was too miserable, standing in front of the dirt slope, I respectfully recited a mantra, and then dug a pit with Du Zifeng and Gu Yibai and put him in the pit.
We were about to bury the boy when a string of desolate songs rang out again.
"There are far encounters on the high mountain road, the reincarnation of heaven is rich and poor, how much impermanent life is, and the red face and dry bones are the same."
It was the old man who asked for money again, and he staggered down the path behind me.
I was in a very bad mood after seeing the boy's death, and I didn't care about the old man behind me at all, and when he saw me, he shook his body and walked over: "Guys of good hearts, what are you doing, do you want to help!"
Du Zifeng raised his head and said, "Don't, don't, you're busy with yours."
The old man put the jar of rice on his arm: "Since meeting is fate, I don't ask you for money, are you reluctant to help you?"
As he spoke, he came up, and Du Zifeng was afraid that the buried boy would be discovered, so he quickly took out fifty yuan from his pocket and handed it over: "Go, go, don't you see that we are busy, I don't know how long we look when we live so old."
The old man squinted his eyes and took the money, and then took a few steps up: "Eat people with a soft mouth, take people with short hands, and give money to me, let alone say if I don't help."
As he spoke, he came up to snatch Du Zifeng's wooden stick for digging the earth, and this snatch happened to see the child in the pit, and the old man's eyes suddenly widened in shock.
He didn't shout, he looked straight at him for a long time and said: "There are no young and old people on Huangquan Road, such a small baby is pitiful, pitiful."
The old man wiped his tears as he spoke, and Du Zifeng said angrily: "I said that I don't want you to help, what is it to mix blindly, burial and marriage are the same major events in a person's life, if the best time is delayed, you are responsible for this child's soul is uneasy!"
The old man glanced at the child and sighed incessantly: "Disturbed, disturbed."
When he had finished speaking, he walked off into the distance, singing the lyrics of the first meal as he went.
After burying the child, we walked over, and after going back, we went to Meng Kongcia under the leadership of Cai Lanhua.
Meng Kongcian is the patriarch of Nanhua Village, and I can only ask him if I want to inquire about the curse.
If he knew, then I was thankful, and if he didn't, then I would have to go somewhere else and ask.
Listening to me, Meng Kongcian personally greeted him, and then asked Xingtong to bring a lot of fruits.
His hanging tower is very simple, with only a few tables and chairs, as well as some silverware and ornaments.
After sitting down, Meng Kongcian spoke: "From the first time my brother made a move, I knew that my brother was an extraordinary person, and I was really lucky to know my brother Meng."
He was very polite, of course I had to keep a low profile, and smiled slightly: "The patriarch smiled, I am just a small skill of carving insects, how can I have Miao Jiang's Gu skills are broad and profound."
Meng Kongcian laughed twice and said: "My brother is humble, it takes half an hour for the best wizard in Miao Jiang to summon a soul, and my brother can draw out a soul with a snap of his fingers, which really opens my eyes!"
I waved my hand slightly: "Everyone has learned differently, and the patriarch's Gu technique also amazes me greatly."
Meng Kongcian laughed twice, and then said: "I'm afraid that my brother will have other important things when he comes to Miaojiang, I don't know if Meng can serve my brother or two."
From the moment we met, he saw that our group was extraordinary, and as the patriarch, he had the obligation to protect the people of the village, and also had the responsibility to make the village prosperous.
He had already asked me if I couldn't help but say, but I couldn't directly explain the intention, so I pondered slightly and said: "I really have a difficult thing to come here, I wanted to figure it out by myself, but it doesn't hurt to tell the patriarch, I don't know if the patriarch has heard of the Golden Snake Gu."
Hearing these three words, the cup in Meng Kongciao's hand fell to the ground and said in surprise: "I am also a Gu master, how can I not know the Golden Snake Gu, the Golden Snake Gu is extremely toxic, and the one who is in it will definitely die if there is no antidote within three days, and if you want to solve this Gu, you must have a medicinal herb with a double-hearted nine-petal flower, otherwise you will not be able to solve the Golden Snake Gu."
I raised my head and looked at him and said, "I'm here for the Golden Snake Gu, I have a friend who has fallen for the Golden Snake Gu, I'll see if I can find a Gu master who can solve the Gu."
Meng Kongcian was a little puzzled: "As long as there is a double-hearted nine-petal grass, most Gu masters can solve the Golden Snake Gu, but those who are in the Gu only have three days to live, and I am afraid that you will go back and forth for more than three days."
He asked the key, and I was also surprised by the ability of money, I think that except for the wealthy Jin Ruilin, I am afraid that no one can let the person who fell into the Golden Snake Gu still live in the world.
In fact, this is also another purpose for me to come to Miaojiang, since everyone knows about the Golden Snake Gu, it is better to tell the truth about everything, I paused and said: "Generally speaking, the Gu Maker can only survive for three days, but there are some special people, I only know that my friend's father built an ice room, he put his son in the Ice Room, and then supplemented it with various herbs, and has released the Gu Maker for ten years, although the Gu has not been solved for ten years, but as long as the Double Heart Nine-Petal Grass is found, the Golden Snake Gu can be solved."
"What, ten years, I can live for ten years after being hit by the Golden Snake Gu, this is the first time I've heard of it, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable." Meng Kongcian stood up in shock.
I smiled lightly, "I don't believe it either, but it's true."
Meng Kongcian pondered: "The double-hearted nine-petal grass is not easy to find, I have heard people say that they have seen it in the 100,000 mountains, but in recent years, many Gu masters have gone to the 100,000 mountains and have not found this kind of grass, this is not easy to do, it is not easy to do."
I also bowed my head and sighed, "That's true, so I can only look for it from village to village, hoping to meet someone who has this herb, and I will buy it no matter what the price." β
Meng Kongcian said bluntly: "I don't have this kind of herb, if I have it, I'll give it to you, I'm really embarrassed, but no matter what my brother plans to do next, I, Meng Mou, can help with all my might."
During the conversation, I found that this patriarch was a frank and cheerful person, and I was about to ask him about Mo Tianqiu, but he stared out the window.
It was already afternoon when we came, and before I knew it, it was already dark, and I thought that Meng Kongcian was as surprised as I was that time was going too fast, but I didn't expect him to look at it and run out in a panic.
Something happened, and when I saw Meng Kongciao's face instantly turned sallow, I quickly followed out, but after I went out, I saw two blood-colored moons.
Yes, it's two, they are partially overlapped like two balls, and they hang in the sky in blood and blood.
Meng Kongcian looked at the moon above his head and couldn't stop panting, sweating profusely, and at this time, a song sounded on the path outside the house, "There is a meeting in the distance on the mountain and the road, the reincarnation of heaven is rich and poor, poor and pitiful, give some money, give some moneyγγγγγγ β
I looked down the path and saw a lone figure walking on the silent path, holding a thick bone half a meter long in his hand and knocking it constantly.
Why is this old man again, I really didn't care about him before, but he appeared in my sight inexplicably three times and twice, and I suddenly felt that this old man was a little extraordinary.
Meng Kongciao's face was very bad, I was afraid that he would faint, so I went over and hugged him and asked, "Patriarch, what happened, why are there two moons in the sky?"
Meng Kongcian gasped and said, "Something happened to the cemetery of the clan, and disaster is about to come."
