Chapter 51: The Old Village Chief
"Really?" Xie Xiaolou was a little unconvinced, it was hard to imagine that there was such a strange village now, even if there really was, the police would have rectified them earlier, after all, this is not a secret, so many people don't want to go. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The fat man's face turned red, and he suddenly laughed: "Of course it's fake, I originally wanted to scare the two of you, but seeing that you two children are young, I can't bear it, so forget it."
"You uncle, it's really delicious." Wu Ziyi said angrily, as if he was really scared.
The fat man didn't care, and then said: "Now the people in Wujia Village are living in the new village, there are no people over there for a long time, those taxis run over, there are no returning guests at all, that's not a loss, and there are old roads over there, potholes, others are lazy to walk."
It is said that the taxi driver can talk, although this is not a serious taxi driver, he is still talking.
"Then why did you say yes?" Wu Ziyi asked casually.
"I'm good, I'm good!" The fat man said, slamming in a direction, Xie Xiaolou's body was crooked forty-five degrees, and he continued, "Actually, if you want to tell them eighty, they will all go." ”
The two were speechless, it seemed that they had really been pitted, and there were quite a few pits.
However, having said that, when it really reached the boundary of the old Wujia Village, there was indeed only a sparse gravel road, and it was not wide, allowing only one car to pass through.
Fortunately, there were few people here, and there was no chance of a car, and after about twenty minutes of staggering, the fat man parked the car in front of a small village that looked very shabby.
"Here, that's it," the fat man looked at the two of them and asked again, "Anyway, what are you two young people doing in this place where birds don't?"
Before Xie Xiaolou could answer, the fat man smiled obscenely: "Understood, young man, looking for excitement!" ”
"!" Anyway, the destination has arrived, and Xie Xiaolou doesn't need to pretend to be polite to him anymore.
But the fat man probably didn't hear this angry scolding, removed the accelerator, turned around and walked away.
"This man is really... Xie Xiaolou shook his head, but turned around to find that Wu Ziyi's face was flushed, and he suddenly seemed to realize something, and walked towards the village with some embarrassment.
This old Wujia village is not big, you can see from the head of the village to the end of the village at a glance, the houses on both sides are broken bricks and old tiles, some old people sit at the door of the house with nothing to do, chatting, playing cards, in a daze.
The two of them looked like outsiders, so when they walked into the village, the old men turned their heads to stare at them, and did not speak.
"There is something strange about the eyes of these old men." Wu Ziyi was a little hairy by those eyes, and unconsciously approached Xie Xiaolou's back.
"Well, I've probably lived in a place like this for too long." Xie Xiaolou looked left and right, and he was also uncomfortable stared at by those strange eyes.
The old men just stared at them like that, and didn't speak.
Xie Xiaolou and the others were at a loss, not knowing where Chen Chen was, or which one he went to.
"I'll go ask someone." Xie Xiaolou saw that none of them wanted to speak, so he took the initiative to step forward, found an old woman who was washing vegetables, and asked, "Hello grandma, may I ask... ”
Without waiting for Xie Xiaolou to finish speaking, the old woman opened her mouth with only a few yellow teeth left, babbling and not knowing what to say, it was estimated that it was the local dialect, anyway, the two of them were stunned and didn't understand a word.
Xie Xiaolou shook his head, and then turned to a dark-skinned uncle on the other side of the path: "Hello uncle, is there a person named Chenchen here?" ”
The old man was also babbling and talking about something, but Xie Xiaolou and the others were still at a loss, and when they saw the old man pointing to his ears while talking, he reacted to whether he was behind his ears or deaf.
Xie Xiaolou sighed, and was about to find the next "target" when he suddenly heard a loud call from behind, and he still couldn't understand what to say, but he was a little better than before, and he probably understood one or two words, as if it was "who, what are you doing" or something, and the tone of the person's voice didn't sound very friendly.
The two turned around and found a well-dressed and energetic white-bearded old man walking towards them. Of course, this attention is only relative, compared to the old people in tattered clothes on both sides of the road, this spirited-looking old man wears a neat shirt, white shirt and blue white trousers.
"Hello, I would like to ask you personally." Xie Xiaolou said politely.
The old man paused when he heard Xie Xiaolou say this, and then spoke a word of Mandarin with a local accent, but compared to the old men before, he could already understand most of it.
"You're from out of town, isn't it?" The old man said, looking around. Indeed, they are surrounded by some old people who have not long passed away, and they do not speak the local dialect, so it makes sense if they came to find relatives in Xinwujia Village.
"Oh, that's right, we're friends of Chenchen, I heard that he came here to help, I don't know where he is?" Xie Xiaolou tried to slow down his speech.
When the old man heard this, his face immediately sank: "There is no such person here, this is Hejia Village, we all have the surname He, how can there be any surname Chen!" ”
Xie Xiaolou observed his words and heard that the old man was deliberately concealing, so he said: "I learned from his father that he came to this Hejia Village, so you can help, we really have something important to find him." ”
The old man still had a dark face: "If you say no, you don't have it, I'm the village chief here, I don't know yet?" With that, he waved his hand and motioned for them to hurry away, then turned around and prepared to leave.
As soon as he took two steps, the village chief turned his head again: "By the way, don't harass other people, you don't understand what they say, they can't understand what you say, here are some people waiting to die... He shook his head and gave the two of them a back.
Xie Xiaolou knew in his heart that the village chief knew Chenchen, why didn't he say it, and there was no need for Chen Fei to lie to the two, there must be some reason.
He recalled Chen Fei's words in his mind, and when he recalled the sentence "I heard something strange in Lao Hejia Village in the northern suburbs", Xie Xiaolou was shocked all over, and seemed to think of something.
Now there are very few people who believe in Feng Shui Taoism, if it is not an elderly person, who will specifically find a Taoist priest to see Feng Shui and drive away evil spirits? Therefore, the reason for Chenchen's coming must be something like exorcism and evil hunting.
"The village chief is slow," Xie Xiaolou caught up with the village chief who was far away, "I'll tell you the truth, Chen Chen's father knows that Chen Fei can't deal with the 'things' here, so he asked us to help." ”
Xie Xiaolou always paid attention to the village chief's every move when he spoke, and when he said the word "thing", the village chief was obviously shocked.
Although the village chief's footsteps stopped, his face turned around with suspicion: "Look at your young age, don't talk nonsense, there is no 'thing', we are all very good!" ”
The more the village chief said this, the more certain Xie Xiaolou was that he had guessed correctly, but the village chief still didn't believe that they would have any Taoist skills or anything like that.
Xie Xiaolou smiled, looked around, took two steps to pick up a branch, touched a piece of rune paper from his bag, opened the cinnabar box and dipped some cinnabar in his hand, brushed and brushed some spells on the rune paper, and then pasted it on the branch, and then chanted the mantra in his mouth, using the door method of "wood to fire", and the branch "boomed" and ignited, causing several old people not far away to put down what they were doing and look here.
The spell was actually scribbled, Xie Xiaolou added this one mainly to enhance the performance effect, and the only thing he really used was the spell in his mouth.
Sure enough, the village chief's face changed slightly when Xie Xiaolou wrote the spell, and when the branches burned for no reason, he had a complicated look, some surprised, some happy, and some worried.
"It's saved, it's saved," After watching Xie Xiaolou's "performance", the village chief couldn't help but muttered a few sentences, then lowered his voice, and his expression became respectful to Xie Xiaolou:
"It's inconvenient to talk here, two great immortals, please come with me."
"Daisen"? When Xie Xiaolou heard this title for the first time, he couldn't cry or laugh, but fortunately, this "performance" had an effect, and he finally settled the village chief.
He turned around and waved to Wu Ziyi to hurry over, and then walked to the other end of the village with the village chief.
