Chapter 117: Avoiding It
The rain was timely, and it was a small day from noon, and many places had begun to accumulate water. The original sultry weather seems to be poured through a basin of ice water, the air is damp and greasy, but it is rarely cool, although the rain is much lighter now, but it has not stopped sparsely pulling, and it is a little disturbing and quiet.
The blind man squatted on the ground to check the shopkeeper's injury, and found that there was no major problem, but he was shocked, and it was good to drink something hot.
The fifth, sixth, and seventh children helped clean up the messy house, and the broken tables and chairs were thrown out, and the room was still a little empty.
Lao Wu and Lao Si found several strings of wet footprints in the back kitchen, and it was indeed a person who entered the kitchen through the back door, only to be bumped into by the crazy Lao Wu. Through a large number of water traces on Lao Wu's body, it is proved that the two are still fighting, looking at the current situation, the man does not seem to have any sweetness, but was chopped off by Lao Wu with an axe, and escaped from the door.
There were also a lot of blood stains on the floor of the back kitchen, which extended to the back door of the void, but after opening the door, it was dark outside, and the ground was very watery, and there was no trace of it.
The fourth child took out two cigarettes and reached out to hand one to Lao Wu. But Lao Wu saw that the cigarette was wet by the rain and then dried, so he didn't want it because the smell was wrong, and he couldn't rub his wet hair. The fourth child took a match from the kitchen and lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath and said, "Old Wu, have we offended anyone recently?" Why do you always have these strange things to fuck, but I think there seems to be something to do in them. Oops! How could I forget! It must have been the one who put the child to death in our dormitory at night! That's it, yes! ”
The fourth child wanted to say that it was the one who beat him up, but he couldn't say it when the words came to his lips, and he felt a little ashamed to say this, so he picked on the child to die. But when Lao Wu heard this, he put down his hand, lowered his head and looked gloomy. Looking at the brothers outside the house under the bright lights, he finally told the fourth child about Zhang Mao.
But the fourth child just smoked a cigarette after hearing this, and there was no surprised reaction.
"I, I have long thought that it might be him, and I guess the third child also thought of it, but what I have never understood is, why did Zhang Mao do this? Is it for the sake of those arms? If he was dead, who was the man who approached us these few times, and why did he have the tablet he had seen in the arsenal? ”
Lao Wu raised his head, and there was some light in his eyes: "You got to the point, it's the ghost of that tablet!" ”
The fourth asked him suspiciously: "Tablet?" What the hell can a wooden board do? Hey, didn't you say that thing was worth a fortune? Since it's out again, it's a gift from God, get a fortune and go our separate ways! ”
Lao Wu shook his head and said: "Although the black copper taro tablet is a priceless treasure, it looks dazzling, and anyone who knows how to see it will be a witch, but that thing is an evil thing, let me tell you this, those who touch it will die!" ”
The fourth threw down the cigarette butt and said, "The key is not that we want to dip it!" It was pestering us, the arsenal looked at it that day, obviously throwing the tablet out casually, but it was hugged by the paper man upright. And when we escaped from the small passage, that, that paper man actually squatted down and looked at us, oops, when I think about it now, I feel chills. After saying these words, the fourth child realized that he was a little excited just now, turned his head to look outside the house, and no one noticed him and Lao Wu, and then lowered his voice and said, "Isn't this hell?" ”
Lao Wu after what happened just now, although he was afraid, but he wanted to understand a lot of things, he thought that everything was made by the tablet, what paper figures, what tricks, but all the hallucinations caused by the black copper taro sandalwood, and the ultimate goal may be to control them, so that they can become puppets like Zhang Mao with a body and no soul. But then again, what's the use of black copper taro tan controlling people, why does Li Huan want to get it so much, there should be an army behind him, what secrets are hidden in it? Lao Wu can't figure it out, and he doesn't want to think about it more, so just hide if he can! They are just a bunch of gravediggers, and they can't afford to provoke such a mysterious force with such a huge relationship.
Because of such a toss, they didn't drink the mutton soup, but lost some tables, chairs and benches to the shopkeeper, and returned to Nanpo Village in the drizzle.
The streets were already potholes, and after this heavy rain, they looked like ponds. But the brothers were wet from head to toe, and even their pants were wet, and they didn't care about wading in the water directly, and they walked very embarrassed.
Because the blind man still had a pack of plasters to deliver, he didn't go back with them, and borrowed an umbrella from the shopkeeper, so he went to deliver the plaster, which was exactly the opposite direction to the grave team.
Hu Dabao took advantage of the rain, rubbed a bath, reached out to wipe the rain from his face, and muttered: "Hey, I said! Let's not go back directly, find a place to eat, or we will be hungry and fall asleep this night. ”
They were almost not hacked to death by Lao Wu with an axe, who was still in the mood to eat, the fourth child said: "Don't grind, there is no place to eat in this county, besides, there is still time in this weather, and the shops selling cakes have long been closed, you, hungry!" ”
Xiao Qi walked in front, listened to them, and turned to Hu Dabao and said, "Second brother, don't do anything!" Don't you still have that melon at home? I'll go back and cook another one for you to eat! ”
When Hu Dabao heard that he was eating melons, his face turned green, and he said with disgust: "What is that, that's!" It's all for pigs, I don't eat it, I'm going to drink sheep soup. Hey, why don't we go back and let the shopkeeper do something? ”
Lao Wu was not in a good mood, and he didn't say anything about Hu Dabang, but just waved his hand and said: "That brother was almost stupid just now, I guess he hasn't recovered at this time!" If you ask him to make mutton soup now, I estimate that the stinky rag can be boiled by him in the pot, and when the time comes, when he drinks the soup, he can pull out the line in his mouth, which is interesting! ”
"Can you say something good? I'm so hungry, don't just go back, then I don't need to sleep tonight! Hu Dawei was not happy.
As a result, Lao Wu laughed out loud when he heard this, and the people around him asked him if he was stupid, what did he laugh at? The fifth brother said: "The second brother doesn't sleep until it is good, it saves him from snoring, and my ears hurt at the root, if he doesn't sleep, we can sleep well tonight, isn't this reasonable?" ”
When the brothers braved the rain and returned to the dormitory, they were all drenched and exhausted, and they didn't even have the mood to fight. I went to the well to fetch water, washed them one by one, and then lay down and went to sleep.
The next morning, they all got up again, pushed the door out and found that the rain had not stopped, Hu Dafang rubbed his stomach and said, "His grandmother's!" Either it won't rain, it's going to rain endlessly, hey, I said, why don't we go today? ”
Lao Wu actually said to him for the first time: "I can't help but go, it's all a matter of appointment, in case they don't have enough manpower, and they don't even have a person who can carry the coffin, then the dead man will be left there to dry?" ”
Listening to Lao Wu talk like this, Hu Dawei was still a little uncomfortable, this is not Lao Wu's style? Why did you lose your mind like crazy yesterday, did you change sex?
But since Lao Wu said that he must go, the brothers didn't have anything to say, they each turned out their worn-out raincoats, tied their waists with hemp ropes, and went to the county seat to find Pu Wei together.
But as soon as they went out, they saw a person riding a bicycle in the distance and came over, and it was only in front of them that they saw that it was Secretary Liu.
