Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Strange Promise (text)
This time, I was really amused by my grandfather, and I buried my own master, not to mention, and even buried my own master. If I were Meng Changqing, I would definitely chase him down the streets with a knife at this time, which is a bit too much for him.
After seeing the woman in the photo, I thought for a long time, and I wondered whether I should tell him about it.
Thinking that he would know sooner or later, he plucked up the courage to step forward and said, "Master, tell you something, you must stay calm after hearing it." ”
Meng Changqing turned his head to look at me, frowned and said, "Say it!" ”
"The woman in the photo looks exactly like the one I took across the river yesterday."
Meng Changqing's eyes widened when he heard this, and his face immediately turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and after a while, he squeezed out a word and said, "Damn!" ”
I was stunned, Meng Changqing had never said foul language, Zhao Sansan was looking around with nothing to do, and after hearing Meng Changqing's scolding voice, he was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward and patted Meng Changqing's shoulder, and said with a deep face: "The son can be taught." ”
After Zhao Sansan finished speaking, the villagers all took money from the house and came back, two hundred yuan is nothing, according to the current market, they can't buy anything at all.
After the villagers handed over the money to the motorcyclist, the motorcyclist didn't count them, just stuffed them into his pocket, and then said that he was leaving.
It is a habit for rural people to keep people to eat, and whether they are sincere or not, they always have to say a word on behalf of the spoken.
The motorcyclist rejected the villagers' kindness and said, "Grandpa told me not to spend the night here." This debt is owed by Ye Jiafu, if Ye Jiafu pays it back by himself, you will be able to live in peace. But if Ye Jiafu doesn't pay it back, the village will have to be emptied immediately. ”
After the motorcyclist finished speaking, he rode away, and the villagers gathered around me after seeing him go away and asked, "Haiwazi, what did your grandfather do?" Now that he's gone, is it up to us to pay this debt? ”
The tone of the villagers is no longer the kind tone of the original villagers, and the meaning revealed in the words is to ask questions.
But I don't know what he did, and now I am confused, and I can't answer this question at all, so I said: "Don't be afraid, don't you have the axe and scissors, the axes and scissors are full of evil and murderous energy, and they have a strong restraint against ghosts, so you just need to hang them on the door and by the bed as my master said." ”
Although they are from the same village, but when it comes to the safety of their lives, it is another matter, without 100% protection, they will never give up.
The old villagers in the village were not convinced by my statement, so they stepped forward and said, "In this way, you can find a way to call your grandfather back and ask him to give us an explanation." Is there any of us villagers in his eyes, it's too unusual! ”
My grandfather has been away from the village for six years, and I still can't answer the question of where he is.
In the past, every time something happened, Meng Changqing would always stand in front of us, but now what his grandfather is doing is too much for him, it can be said that he is an enemy who does not share the sky, even if Meng Changqing is broad-minded, I haven't found the slightest possibility for him to speak for his grandfather.
However, when encountering this unsolvable situation, I still habitually glanced at Meng Changqing.
His face was very cold at this moment, and the words between his eyebrows were full of anger, but he was just trying to restrain himself.
Seeing him like this, he suddenly felt a little compassionate, his grandfather was raised as a ghost, and his grandmother was sealed. And he protected the children and grandchildren of the enemy for six years, and he dug out his heart and lungs for six years, and if it were me, I would never have been able to do this.
Therefore, now I didn't expect Meng Changqing to speak for me, so I stepped forward and said: "What my grandfather owes, I'll pay it back, no matter who it is here, I'll pay it back together, I'm still young, and I have a chance." ”
When Meng Changqing heard this, he stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder, motioning for me to retreat behind him.
I hesitated for a moment, retreated, and said to the villagers, "With me here, there will be nothing wrong in the village." You can live in the village with peace of mind. ”
Meng Changqing's words have always been a reassuring agent, and when he said this, the villagers said, "Then Master Meng must help us deal with this matter." ”
"I do my best." Meng Changqing said.
The villagers slowly dispersed, and after the villagers left, Meng Changqing turned his head to look at me, and said after a while: "You are my apprentice, don't owe me anything, study Taoism well, don't have any pressure in your heart, take care of Xiaoxiao." ”
After Meng Changqing finished speaking, I immediately burst into tears, this is the goddamn brilliance of human nature!
After that, Meng Changqing glanced at the well on the east side of the village and said, "Around midnight tonight, Li Yan's soul should be reunited, and I have to guard it." You go back to the house first and look at it, the girl is still very weak, it doesn't matter if you die, don't let her get hurt. ”
Just now, his image in his heart was still all kinds of majestic and tall, as soon as this sentence came out, it completely collapsed, what does it matter if I die, don't let him get hurt?
Hearing Meng Changqing say this, Zhao Sansan stepped forward and grabbed my shoulders and asked me to go back to the house with him.
I couldn't go to the well to get too many people, so I didn't follow him, and followed Zhao Sansan back to the house, and Zhao Sansan said halfway: "You owe your master too much." ”
I nodded yes, and didn't say a word.
I went back to the house, and when I entered the house, Xiaoxiao and Ye Weiting were sitting in the middle of the house, and when we came back, they got up to greet us, and they looked at Xiaoxiao's body last time, but now she is a lot more open, and they are very close as soon as they come up.
Xiaoxiao was already half a head shorter than me, so close, my eyes lowered slightly, and I looked through her neckline, but she didn't know at all, and asked with a smile, "Master?" Did something happen? ”
"I'm going to pick up Sister Li Yan, nothing serious. Are you feeling better? If it's not good, don't move. I continued to look down at her neckline and said.
Seeing that I had a strange look, she looked at me, and when she learned what I was looking at, she immediately covered her neckline, her face changed suddenly, she stepped aside and sat down, and then looked at me with an unhappy expression.
I coughed awkwardly, and I can't be blamed for that.
After Ye Weiting stepped forward, I thought that I couldn't say nothing when I met, and besides, Zhao Sansan was here, last time he promised to help Meng Changqing, and set a condition with me, although he was not sincere, but he had to be pretentious, so he asked: "Is your body better?" ”
Ye Weiting nodded and hummed, but didn't say anything else, and went directly to Zhao Sansan's side.
After that, several people waited in the house, and Meng Changqing did not come back at night.
At about ten o'clock, all of them went to sleep, and I was the only one sitting in the hall.
I was a little bored sitting like this, so I went out with a flashlight and stood on the edge of the house for a while, and was about to turn my head when I saw a woman with long hair fluttering on the window.
Dressed in yellow, he held a hat in his left hand and a railing of the window in his right hand, and was twisting his body to look into the window.
This woman is the woman from last night, that is, Meng Changqing's grandmother.
I hesitated a little when I saw her, and then slowly stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, and she turned her head to look at me when she felt it, and there was no weirdness on her face, but she asked, "Your grandfather hasn't come back yet, has he?" ”
Seeing that she still remembered me, and didn't seem to have much resentment, I was a little relieved and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”
When I had finished asking, she turned and sat down on a pile of stones in front of the room, then beckoned to me to come and sit too.
I saw that she was very kind, and that she was as terrible as she said, so I hesitated for a moment and walked over and sat down two meters away from her.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" I asked again.
"Since you've asked that, I'm definitely not human." The young woman said.
I looked at her face and thought to myself that Meng Weiye was quite discerning, and he had such a wife, but since he was Meng Weiye's wife, why did he have such a big grudge with my grandfather? Could it be that grandpa took her what she did? She holds a grudge and now comes back for revenge?
Thinking about the impossibility, grandpa didn't look like that kind of person, so he asked, "What kind of grudge do you have with my grandpa?" You are his wife, and it stands to reason that you should not be very harmonious. ”
"I have an agreement with your grandfather, he sealed me, saying that when the two wells become one, the ancient wells are born, and the people of the Ye family take me across the river, and I can move freely. I've been working on it all these years, do you know that big black snake? It shuttled between the two wells for decades, and the two wells were finally opened, but the big black snake was scattered, but it was a pity, otherwise they could still be friends. The young woman said eloquently.
"The man in the well, do you mean yourself?"
I thought that if the well gave birth to her by herself, it would be too simple, as long as she came out by herself, wouldn't it?
"Where is your grandfather so kind, the three conditions he said are fundamentally contrary to common sense, first, how can two wells be figured out? Second, how could a well give birth to a man? Third, since he sealed me, how could he let the people of the Ye family take me across the river? ”
After she finished speaking, I watched her think for a while, and suddenly shocked, now she is still so kind, it is because she has only completed two of these three conditions, and one has not been completed. That is the person born in the well, tonight, as long as Li Yan gathers in the well, these three conditions will be achieved, and at that time, she can really move freely.
As soon as I thought of this, I was about to get up, but she held me down, looked at me with a smile on her face and said, "Have you thought of anything?" Don't worry, I haven't spoken for so many years, I thought the first person to talk to me would be Ye Jiafu, but I didn't expect it to be his grandson, this is destiny, you can say a few words to me here first, and see if your grandfather will come back for a while. ”
This woman's strength is surprisingly great, I can't move at all after holding it down, and finally I can only give up, and ask: "You have already come out, you don't need to abide by those three agreements at all, why do you keep waiting?" ”
"For so long, I've been waiting for Ye Jiafu to release me, because if he releases me, it means that Meng Weiye has been resurrected, and this result is what I want to see the most. But if I came out by myself, it would mean that Ye Jiafu had failed, and he failed to resurrect Meng Weiye. Until the last minute, how can I know the result, maybe before the child, he will come back and let me out. ”
I was extremely confused, but I still understood, she and my grandfather had an agreement, that is, grandpa would resurrect Meng Weiye in his way, and if he succeeded in resurrection, he would come to release the young woman. If he doesn't succeed and the young woman comes out on her own, he will have to pay the debt he owes to the young woman.
Now, it seems, Grandpa didn't succeed.
"I don't understand, grandpa wants to resurrect Meng Weiye, why does he have to seal you?"
