The fat man and I returned to the capital in fear, the ghostly mysterious person did not reappear, it is estimated that he was either lost, or he couldn't start in the crowded capital, anyway, we escaped safely.

Finally returned to Mao'er Hutong after a long absence, and I said with emotion: "It feels so good to go home, and I don't know if Master has come back?" ”

The fat man asked me, "Lao Zheng, we are about to have money, should we change the façade of the small antique shop in Yishiju." At the very least, the signboard should also be changed to a grand point, preferably a solid wood signboard with gilt characters. ”

I opened the door of the antique shop, walked inside, threw my backpack on the floor, sat down on the glass counter, and said, "You know a ball, our sign is a good thing." Don't look at its black and inconspicuous, it is made of gloomy wood that can only be formed for thousands of years, and the ghost spell of the Western Regions is engraved on the back, in order to prevent us from having ghosts follow the door after we come back. ”

After hearing this, the fat man muttered unconvinced: "As far as you know a lot, look at what makes you sè, I don't believe that a broken wooden sign has what you say." After saying that, the fat man looked around the antique shop, then approached me and said, "Why don't we take out the contents of our backpacks and admire them first?" ”

I glanced at the door of the store and thought to myself that it was not safe here, and it was not too late to go into the house and open my backpack again. I was just about to say my thoughts to the fat man, when I found that there was something strange about the strange house, we had been away for so long, but the antique store was exceptionally tidy, as if someone was cleaning it every day, I hurriedly said to the fat man: "Don't look at the things first, how do I think the master seems to be back." ”

When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly looked around and asked me, "Where is Master?" Why didn't I see it? ”

I lifted the backpack on the ground and said to the fat man, "Let's go, go back to the old house." ”

We opened the curtain on the wall, pushed open the back door of the antique shop, crossed the threshold and stepped into the back alley, and walked to the inner house not far away. When I opened the door of the ancient mansion, I saw Master and a bearded girl with a round face and almond eyes, sitting in the hall drinking tea and eating snacks, chatting passionately, giggling and laughing.

When I came back, I saw the master sitting in the hall intact and chatting with people, and immediately sighed and sighed, hugged the master tightly with tears, and said excitedly like the lost baby seeing his mother: "Old man, where have you been during this time?" We all miss you. ”

The master was at a loss and didn't open his mouth, and the little girl sitting at the head of the guest on the left side of the guest first sneered and said, "Such a big person, still coquettish, embarrassed, shameful." ”

The master pushed us away and reprimanded, "You two fools, where have you gone wild?" You dare not notify me in advance, so that someone of my age has to worry about you two little bastards, and your hair is a lot grayer. ”

Thinking of this terrifying and bumpy experience, I was speechless for a while, and I didn't know how to answer Master's words, so I had to sort out my thoughts in my brain and organize my words before I could explain it clearly. So he picked up the teapot, poured a pot of tea into his stomach with a clatter, and moistened his throat. I was about to speak, but I heard the little girl sitting next to me, pinching her nose and saying to me, "Did you two fall into the dung pit?" Why does it stink so much? ”

Hearing this, I sniffed with my nose, and there was indeed a smell of gluttony on my body. The fat man glared at the little girl dissatisfied, she stuck out her tongue at the fat man mischievously, and then put on an arrogant appearance of what you can do with me.

The bearded man sitting opposite the little girl looked at it in his eyes, and reprimanded: "Girl, don't be unreasonable." ”

At this time, the master stood up and said to the two of us, "You two will talk about it later, let me introduce you two first, this is the big beard Luo that I often mention, you have to call him Uncle Luo, he is my New Year's friend." ”

The fat man and I hurriedly tidied up our clothes and saluted Luo Dabeard respectfully. Luo Dabeard smiled and said, "You're welcome, it's all family." After saying that, he took our hands. Being held by Luo's bearded warm hands, I couldn't help but sigh: Luo's bearded hands are strong and powerful, and the blood vessels are bursting, and it seems that the kung fu in his hands is very good, and it is estimated that he should practice hard palm kung fu such as iron sand palms. Speaking with confidence, it should be very good to come to the inner family qigong. Master's friend should have some fame in the rivers and lakes.

The master pointed to the little girl on the side and then introduced: "This little girl is your Uncle Luo's daughter, called Yue'er, eighteen years old, you can call her Sister Luo or Yue'er." ”

The two of us nodded and said to the little girl, "Sister Yue'er is good." ”

The little girl stood up and pouted, "hummed" as a reply, and then sat down and swallowed melon seeds, with a high-minded attitude, completely ignoring me and the fat man.

Luo Dabeard looked embarrassed when he saw Yue'er's attitude, and said apologetically: "I'm really embarrassed, don't be surprised by the two virtuous nephews." Yue'er, this girl has been spoiled since she was a child, and her temper is a little stubborn and she doesn't know how to behave in the world, but her temperament is not bad, I hope you forgive me! After speaking, he loudly scolded Yue'er for being rude.

I hurriedly waved my hand politely and said, "It's not a big deal, Uncle Luo doesn't need to be so polite." Sister Yue'er, she is a true temperament, and it is a good thing not to know the hypocritical words and deeds of the empty head, and it is rare to see such an innocent child as her now. Although I said it with a smile on my lips, I was thinking about finding an opportunity to clean up this uneducated girl. And the fat man sitting opposite me glared at Yue'er without buying it, and then sat down without saying a word, gobbling up snacks, and staring at Yue'er with an arrogant face in his eyes very unfriendly. I also sat down, unceremoniously munching on dim sum and drinking tea, I hadn't eaten the dim sum of old Beijing for too long, and the dim sum of the puff pastry candy was chewed in my mouth, and even my heart was about to melt.

Usually I and the fat man's behavior are accustomed to unrestrained, only when the customer comes to the door, we will stand behind the master like a decent and stable body, my old man also let us quarrel in front of him, standing and not standing and not sitting and not disciplined, he feels that nature dictates to let us grow freely, as long as we don't do evil things.

Master looked at the two of us with a comfortable look, and said to us with a smile: "You Uncle Luo and Yue'er are not outsiders, now tell me what you two have been doing in the days when you two disappeared?" ”

Instead of answering Master's question, I asked him, "Master, what have you been doing these days?" ”

In a few words, the master finished his trip during his absence. As a result, after a long time, the time when the master disappeared was to take the father and daughter surnamed Luo to go on a tour of the mountains and rivers, completely unaware of the strange things that happened to me and the fat man.

After listening to Master's story, I felt sorry for myself, the fat man and I were really deceived and used, so I first told me what happened when I went to Chenyu Village to catch ghosts and collect demons. Then, I began to tell about a qiē incident that happened with the fat man in the capital after Master left, and I felt a little dry after talking too much, so I picked up a teacup and drank water to quench my thirst.

The master sat on the Taishi's chair and quietly listened to what I had just said, stroked his goatee and said, "The cat is making trouble at night, which means that outsiders have entered the house, and Xiaopang is not aware of it. ”

The fat man answered, "At first, I didn't know this cat was so evil. Unexpectedly, it later saved both of our lives. ”

At this time, Yue'er suddenly interjected next to her and said: "Xiao Yue'er's eyes, one basket and one green, there is a saying, this is called "Tai Chi Eye", which can observe the two worlds of yin and yang, and can see things that you usually can't see. ”

Hearing Yue'er say this, the fat man who was drinking tea almost choked, and said to Yue'er while coughing: "You mean that the cat can see ghosts?" What does it mean that it kept staring at me in the middle of the night? ”

Yue'er ignored the fat man, and then said: "A little red between Xiao Yue'er's eyebrows is called" Guanyin Mole ", which means that it is a cat with Taoism, and ordinary evil ghosts and ghosts are not its opponents. ”

The fat man said with envy: "Where did you get such a powerful cat, I will get one to keep for me, and I will have it as a bodyguard, so I have no worries at all." ”

Yue'er replied to the fat man lightly: "Pick it up." ”

The fat man listened to Yue'er's arrogant words, and was so angry that he almost didn't swear, and Luo Dabeard explained with a smile: "That cat was indeed picked up by Yue'er when she was practicing on the mountain." When Yue'er was a child, I was sent into the mountains to practice kung fu, and I was not by her side at that time, but the cat has been with Yue'er and Yue'er are inseparable, and Yue'er cherishes it as a treasure, so she will give it a name, called "Xiao Yue'er". Yue'er was her own doppelganger when the cat was her own doppelganger, and she never let Xiao Yue'er leave her side. I couldn't take it with me on my last trip, so I had to entrust it to your care. ”

Yue'er pouted, snorted coldly with her nose and said, "As a result, I entrusted Xiao Yue'er, who I regarded as a treasure, to someone else's care, and that person actually left it alone, causing my poor Xiao Yue'er to almost starve to death, and lost a lot of weight." ”

Although the fat man secretly thought in his heart that the cat was better than the monkey and would not starve to death at all, he knew that he was wrong and did not dare to talk nonsense, so he turned his head to the side and pretended not to hear Yue'er's accusation.

Luo Dabeard saw that the atmosphere between Yue'er and the fat man was a little strange, he was probably afraid that the fat man would be embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "Where is there such an exaggeration, Yue'er don't interject, listen to your brother Sven continue to talk about what happened below." ”

As soon as I heard the mention of me, I had to put down my teacup and continue to tell what happened after that.

No one intervened in the process of narrating this time, and I quickly finished telling the story of the journey to Yunnan, and the master frowned tightly after listening to it, not knowing whether he was worried about the people who were eyeing the two of us, or whether he was worried about someone's provocation to the strangers. Seeing that the master was silent, I put the backpack that I had had time to open after returning from Yunnan and put it in front of his old man.

Master unzipped the backpack, first took the peach wood brand amulet inside in his hand and looked at it carefully, then untied the amulet on his body for comparison, then nodded and said: "It is indeed the heirloom talisman of this sect, it seems that you have really met the seniors of the same sect." It is estimated that now that we are moving mountains, there may be only two of you authentic heirs left. After speaking, he asked me and the fat man to go to his side, hung two peach wood amulets on the necks of me and the fat man, and said with some melancholy: "From today on, you two will officially leave the school, and in the future, you can take the work alone without my consent." ”

The fat man and I respectfully followed the amulet with our grateful hands and said "um" happily. As a result, Master Dong Dong gave each of us a violent shudder, and then said with a wicked smile: "Don't be too happy, I lied to you two just now." In the future, if you go out to do errands and fight, you have to consult with me first, and only after I approve can you act. If you dare to run out without permission again, be careful that I break your legs, and"

I thought to myself that the old man was still the same, and he must be about to start chanting again, so I closed my mouth and stood aside obediently. But there was a man next to me who didn't know what to do, and muttered, "Also, what else?" ”

Hearing the fat man's answer, the master gave him another shudder and said, "Also, don't say thank you!" ”

Yue'er saw that the fat man was deflated, and she leaned back and closed her mouth with a smile on the chair. As a result, in exchange for the fat man's vicious eyes, she had to sit on the chair dignified again, not daring to laugh at the fat man anymore.

We knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the master to thank us, and then I said with a flattering face, "We are Sun Monkeys, and we can't jump to your old man's Five Finger Mountain." Please rest easy, we will definitely not cause you any more trouble. ”

I saw the master say with a stern face: "I'm worried that someone has somehow set his sights on the two of you, and you both have good hearts and little experience, so I'm afraid that you two will be deceived and suffer a big loss." "The fat man and I had sour noses after hearing this, and we knew in our hearts that the master was usually strict with us because he hated iron and could not make steel. Moreover, Master's calf protection is well-known in the industry of tomb robbers, so when we are in the capital, we usually walk sideways and no one dares to mess with them.

Master continued to rummage through the contents of the backpack, saw the black donkey's hooves, took it out and said to the two of us, "This is a good thing, and it will be much better than Master's and my talisman in the future." ”

Hearing what he said, I complained in my heart and said: You are embarrassed to expose your own shortcomings. When I went down to the suspicious mound and met the blue-faced zongzi, those few broken talismans almost didn't hurt me and lost my life. Although he thought so in his heart, he still had a pious smile on his face, and took the black donkey's hoof with both hands.

The master then picked up the bronze openwork openwork arm wrist, put it on his nose and smelled it, and then said, "Although it is a high-class product, it is a pity that it is used on animals and is blind." Tomorrow I'll take it and donate it to the museum. After hearing this, I said in my heart: Whatever you say, donate. Although I disagreed in my heart, I didn't dare to say it. And the fat man next to me didn't care about this thing, his mouth was very fast, and he said with an unhappy face: "Master, that was what we exchanged for our lives, why did you donate it." ”

Originally, I thought that the master would scold the fat man for being greedy or something, but he didn't get angry, and explained softly: "Bronze heavy weapons are protected by the state and are forbidden to be given to each other privately. Donating it to the museum can also give you two the name of an archaeologist to hang on, so that it is also convenient for the two of you to enter the mountain in the future. ”

After hearing Master's words, I immediately nodded, but I asked Master with some unease, "Then how do you explain the origin of this thing?" ”

The master smiled and said, "After a while, I will raise some dust on this armband, and I will say that I found it on the beams of the old house to repair it." Anyway, the museum will turn a blind eye, who is too hot to give for nothing. ”

After speaking, the master finally picked up the pillar-shaped gui and said to the two of us, "This thing will be placed in the antique shop tomorrow, and naturally someone will come to buy it." But you two have to carefully observe the people who come to buy, the price is not expected to be low, just your pocket money. After finishing speaking, he didn't take out the red sandalwood box, but pulled the zipper of the backpack, put it directly in his hand, and said to the two of us: "Go wash well, sleep again, go to Hongbin Building at night, Master treats you, eat a good meal, and replenish your body." After saying that, he pulled Luo Dabeard and walked out of the door.

The fat man and I stared at each other and thought: What is the situation, why is there nothing wrong with the red sandalwood box and jade tablets?

At this moment, Yue'er suddenly jumped in front of us from behind, and then swayed around us like a monkey admiring the zoo.

I didn't have time to worry about this little girl, so I pulled the fat man to prepare to go out, and the fat man said to Yue'er, who was wandering around beside us: "Let's go to the men's bathhouse, don't follow." ”

Yue'er stuck out her tongue and said, "Hmph, what's the big deal, who rarely goes, I'll play with Xiao Yue'er at home by myself." The water in the bath is deep, so be careful not to drown. ”

A string of brass bell-like laughter wafted in the old mansion
