Chapter 207: Old Man Bai Returns to His Soul
When I came out of Uncle Bai's house, I knew that there was a butcher in our village who specialized in selling meat, so I walked along with my childhood memories. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ma Yingying didn't understand me very much, why did she sell meat, and asked me vigorously.
I told Ma Yingying, this village was originally mixed with unclean things, at present I don't know whether it is the people of Yinsi, or the people of the Demon League, or some other Taoist people, our village was because of the matter of the Jiuge Palace, so that the Yin Si was under the old locust tree near my house, and opened a Yin Si Road, so that the people of the Yin Si can come up directly from the Yin Si, and it is also because of this Yin Si Dao that the entire village is covered by Yin Qi.
It is impossible to discern what is hidden in our village.
But Bai Chengjun's words really reminded me. When he said that something was wrong with the old man, his mouth came out with a pig-like cry. Maybe it's because the yin qi of this yin is too heavy, and the pigs have become sperm, and they have run to people, but I don't know what the cause of death of Master Bai is.
But Bai Chengjun's sentence gave me another hint, that is, Master Bai suddenly said that he was hungry, and he ran out to eat, which may be normal for other people, but for people like Master Bai who only eat at their own home, it seems a little weird.
Before we knew it, after about half an hour, we came to the butcher's house.
"Huh. You're not from the village, I haven't seen you. The butcher said.
I smiled, "I'm Chen Xiao, I'm from the village, I've been outside before, didn't I just come back!" ”
The butcher was slightly stunned. looked at me with a little curiosity, looked up and down, and glared at each other, "I'm going to look more and more iconic for your kid, your grandfather was the first handsome in our village back then, and you look like this now, but you are several times more than him!" ”
I told the butcher that now I am a Taoist priest, and it is really inappropriate for me to use these words handsome or not, and I came today mainly to buy some meat to go back, I don't know if there is fresh meat.
The butcher frowned slightly, "I'll show you, if there is anything left, these days, my meat has been stolen too much, I hide it now, but the next day it was stolen, these thieves on their backs, if Lao Tzu knows, I will take a kitchen knife and hack him to death!" ”
The butcher was emotionally charged when he said this, he was already holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and he shook it in front of me a few times along with his emotions, so frightened that Ma Yingying quickly hid behind me, and the butcher realized that this move was really inappropriate, and immediately put the kitchen knife back.
I asked curiously, "Your pork has always been very good, and if it will be stolen, there will be no money to buy it, but when did it start to be stolen?" ”
The butcher thought for a moment and told me. "It seems like it started last week, and the times are frequent, and I sell the rest in the morning, but if I put it in the kitchen and come back the next morning, it's gone."
The butcher said so. It's a bit strange.
I asked the butcher again, "How did you handle this?" ”
The butcher told me that he didn't care about it at the beginning, but he stole it badly, so he told the village chief and asked the village chief to help, but there were frequent deaths in the village, and the village chief didn't pay much attention to this matter, so the butcher simply made a trap himself, and set up glass slag in the yard and the courtyard wall.
However, the meat was stolen anyway.
I told the butcher to let him give me some meat for free, and I could help him find the person who stole the meat tonight, and when the butcher heard this, he applauded and immediately picked two large pieces of fat meat from the kitchen, basically no lean meat.
In the village. If you can eat fat, it proves that the people of this family are rich in oil and water, and when they were backward in the past, if anyone had meat to eat at home, they were rich and wealthy, and some vain villagers. When he deliberately goes out to meet people, he touches some lard on his mouth, and when he goes out, he lets others see it, so that everyone thinks that their family has meat to eat every day, and they must be rich.
Later, the habits of the village changed. The meat must be fat, not that you really like to eat fatty meat, but that fatty meat is more fragrant than lean meat, which can satisfy cravings, and it can also satisfy everyone's vanity.
So it slowly evolved into the fact that fat meat is the best meat.
This butcher specially picked two big pieces of fat meat for me, and it can be said that he was very sincere to me. After I took the two lumps of big fat meat, I handed them directly to Ma Yingying, this apprentice learns things, naturally he has to do some hard work, these two lumps of meat are not heavy, it is just right for her to carry, it is better than one of my Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes.
Ma Yingying is a girl and knows that girls love beauty, so I just let her wear a Taoist robe at the apprenticeship ceremony, and on weekdays, I let her wear her own clothes.
I took Ma Yingying and walked out of the butcher's house, just took two steps, and quickly turned back, and immediately walked into the house, the butcher asked me why I came back again, I said I came to see his house, whether there were any footprints left by the meat thief, maybe I could see any clues.
The butcher was naturally happy, and immediately let me look at it casually, and I took Ma Yingying to walk around the house and the yard for a long time, and I really didn't see anything useful.
At this time, Ma Yingying pulled down the corner of my clothes and said to me, "Master, look, there is a dog hole here. ”
I looked down and saw that there was, and I crouched down and looked towards the dog hole, where was the dog hole. The hole is so big that even an adult can get out.
"Master, could it be that this meat thief got in through this dog hole?" Ma Yingying looked at me curiously and said.
I nodded, most likely.
It's just that I'm more suspicious of meat thieves, not people.
"Come on, I know, let's go back. Take a trip to Mr. Bai's house. I looked at Ma Yingying with a smug face.
After coming out of the butcher's house, I returned to Mr. Bai's house again, the sky was a little dark, and during the mourning period, Mr. Bai naturally came and went, and saw me coming. I told everyone that in Master Bai's house today, except for the people of the Bai family, other villagers must go home and must not go out.
It's only half an hour. The sparsely populated ones are all gone, leaving Master Bai's family, the two old men, and Bai Chengjun and her daughter-in-law, speaking of which, Master Bai's family is very similar to our family. There are three old men in total, and the relationship is also very good, which inevitably evokes my memories again.
I moved the coffin of the white master to the middle of the courtyard, and then next to his coffin, put the big fat meat brought back from the butcher today, and then inserted the five-square flag in the backpack around the coffin for the purpose of calming the soul and guarding the corpse, so as not to hurt the white master's body for a while.
However, the sky has just turned into night, and the surroundings have become surprisingly quiet, I asked the people of the Bai family to go to the house first, don't come out, Ma Yingying and I are guarding in the courtyard. The people of the Bai family also understand, and they know that there must be my reasons for doing this, if I am just Chen Xiao's identity, they may not stop, but because I am now a Taoist priest, my words seem to have weight.
After a while, the yin qi suddenly gathered around. I had moved a bench to sit next to me, but I stood up alertly and stared straight out of the yard, always feeling like something was about to come in.
Ma Yingying also sensed that something was wrong, and immediately stood up and asked me, "Master." Is it a thief who steals meat? ”
I shook my head, this yin qi is so heavy, it's either a lonely ghost or a yin person.
It was only a minute, and the sound of footsteps walked into the courtyard, and I was amazed. It turned out to be the soul of the white master, swaying towards the house, I thought to myself, is today the day of returning to the soul? Isn't that the Soul Hooker coming, I'm afraid it will affect my plans.
If it is true that there is a pig demon in the village, it is not the right time for this soul envoy to come.
Old Man Bai looked at me tremblingly. His face was slightly surprised, "This ...... This is not Xiao Wazi, why are you back? ”
Seeing that Master Bai was conscious, I was also a little excited, so I gave a sigh of gratitude and nodded. Let Master Bai come to me, I asked Master Bai, "I'm Chen Xiao, do you know that you have an accident?" ”
