Chapter 199: Mysterious Night Stalking

These young men who carried the slide bar walked fast and steady, except for the extremely dangerous terrain, which required three people to come down and walk a few steps, the rest of the time were comfortable, sitting on the trembling slide bar, and I don't know because of the good mood, or because of the slide bar, the girl's father suddenly felt that the scenery on the mountain was so beautiful, although he had been here countless times before, but he didn't seem to have noticed.

By the time we arrived at the mountain hermitage, it was already early afternoon. When the owner of the nunnery heard that the legendary old Taoist priest had suddenly come to them, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and hurriedly greeted them. In this area, the old Taoist priest's prestige is more than anyone else's, and all kinds of legends about him are also being spread more and more gods, the owner of the nunnery does not quite understand why the old Taoist priest suddenly came to them, and still came with the girl's father.

After a few words of greeting with the owner of the nunnery, because he didn't want to delay any longer, the old man went straight to the point. In fact, this is just to say hello to the owner of the nunnery, once the girl decides to go home, the owner of the nunnery has no reason to stop it, which the owner of the nunnery also understands, so he only said some polite words, and asked a few nuns to help the girl clean up her things, and then go to other things.

The nuns who were together didn't expect the girl to leave, they felt a little sudden, and they didn't know the real reason why the girls were vulgar, but these days, many nuns and girls got along well, and they had a good impression of this beautiful and clean-looking, clever and well-behaved, but hard-working girl, and when they were idle, they all felt sorry for what happened to this girl. So when they heard that the girl was leaving, many people were still reluctant.

But the girl's feelings now are very complicated, excited, worried, bitter, aggrieved, excited, emotional, like an overturned five-flavor bottle, sweet and sour, bitter and salty, intertwined, making her feel dizzy and unreal, as if in a dream.

In fact, she doesn't care about what the feng shui master looks like or what kind of person she is, she feels that as long as a man wants her, it is enough, so many ups and downs have made her not have too many expectations for life.

Although this is the case, before meeting the feng shui master, she is still very apprehensive in her heart, and there is still a vague shyness and a certain longing for the beginning of girlish love. She also deliberately combed her hair, washed her face, and carefully tidied herself up in the mirror.

When she was packing up in the house, she heard her father and them enter the door, and her heart beat even more, but she didn't turn her head to look at it immediately, but pretended not to hear and continued to pack her things, and the nun next to her reminded her twice, and her father also shouted: "Girl, the three of us have come over, have you packed up?"

As soon as she screamed, the girl took a deep breath and tried to calm her feelings, so that she slowly turned her head. For some reason, she just caught up with the feng shui master at a glance, and as soon as the two made eye contact, they were a little shy and panicked, and quickly looked away.

The girl quickly lowered her head, her heart beat wildly, and her face burned terribly, and it was just this glimpse that she could basically see the appearance of the feng shui master—completely more personable than she had imagined.

This is the most handsome and temperamental man she has seen since she was a child.

Most of the men she could come into contact with in her circle of life were dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and the son of the squire, who wore a silk robe, was already the most generously dressed and well-dressed man she had ever seen. And the man in front of him who was going to marry him was dressed so foreignly. This kind of clothes, she has only seen a student in the village who goes to school in the provincial city wear, she thinks that men wear this kind of clothes, it looks very temperamental, especially makes her heartbeat.

She didn't know what to say to her father, she just felt that her brain was buzzing, and she couldn't help but sweep the eyes of the feng shui master with the afterglow of her eyes, the more she looked at it, the more inexplicable excitement and excitement surged in her heart, this man not only dressed in a foreign style and decent, but also looked very handsome, isn't this the kind of man she dared to dream of only when she was dreaming in the past? I didn't expect this qiē to appear at this moment, after experiencing so much, it was really like a dream, she couldn't help but pinch herself twice, it really hurt, it was true, not a dream.

The beauty of this girl is beyond the imagination of the feng shui master, although he was born in Shanghai, grew up in Shanghai, and has seen any kind of beautiful woman, but he has never seen such a pure, refreshing, and naturally carved woman without powder, although she has no hair now, still wears a hat, and is a little haggard, but her blown-up skin, and the facial features with perfect proportions to the lines, as well as the wide robe, still can't cover, exquisite body lines, all reveal that she was born a beauty embryo. What's more, when the feng shui master returned the girl closer, he smelled a very good body fragrance on her, which made the feng shui master a little confused, and even immediately had a physiological reaction, which also made the feng shui master feel a little surprised, more precisely, a kind of surprise.

The two fell in love at first sight. From each other's subtle reactions, the girl's father and the old Taoist priest were also somewhat aware of it, which was exactly what they expected, so they couldn't help but be secretly happy in their hearts. Especially the girl's father, today is even more emotional, since the accident, he has been living in extreme pain, despair and frustration, today, it is like the sky full of dark clouds slowly dissipated, a round of hope, the red sun, finally rising.

Because it was not early, they did not delay any longer, and immediately got on the slider and rushed home. Along the way, the most surging mood is the feng shui master and the girl, for the two who have experienced so many ups and downs, the heart is both sweet and emotional. And the old Taoist priest and the girl's father were also very interested, and from time to time they talked and laughed loudly with a few young men who carried the slide bar.

When they arrived home, the night was already very late, and most of the people in the village had fallen asleep, and the village was dark, and when they entered the village, they caused a few dog barks from time to time, which set off the tranquility of the small mountain village more and more.

The girl's mother hadn't slept yet, and had been waiting for their arrival, waiting for the courtyard door to open, watching her daughter who had been thinking about it day and night returning home, the mother couldn't help but hug each other and cry for a while, and then put a big pot of noodles, put a few eggs in each bowl, and brought out a few dishes that had been fried in advance.

When everyone had finished eating, and when the feng shui master paid, he gave more than the original price, and the young men happily accepted the money and went home in the dark.

All these things were surprisingly smooth, but for some reason, the feng shui master vaguely noticed that the old Taoist priest seemed to have something on his mind suddenly. I wanted to ask, but the old man always tried to divert the topic, as if there was something he didn't want the girl's family to know.

Because he didn't know what it was, the feng shui master was a little apprehensive, but he had to resist the urge to ask for the time being.

Next, the old Taoist priest talked about the next arrangement, the marriage of the two should be done as soon as possible, where to do the marriage, return to Shanghai, or do it locally?

After a detailed discussion, the final arrangement was made - because Shanghai is too far away, so the feng shui master feels that it is relatively close to the provincial capital, that is, seventy or eighty miles away, so he wants to buy a house in the provincial capital to get married, although the provincial capital cannot be compared with Shanghai, but it is more convenient than many things in the countryside, such as withdrawing money from the bank, daily households, living environment, etc., are much better than the countryside.

When the woman's family heard it, of course they were happy, for them, the provincial capital is a big city, and the average squire and landlord have no financial resources to buy a family property there, but I didn't expect this young man to easily say that he would buy a house there and get married.

The girl hid in the back room, secretly listening to their conversation, and the gloom in her heart was also swept away, and she couldn't help but plop down on her knees, secretly thanking God for bless her to come and go, and the hard days were over.

In this way, it was not until the first rooster crowed that the feng shui master and the old Taoist priest said goodbye and came out of the girl's house and returned to their residence. The owner of the house was an official in the former Qing Dynasty, and after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he also worked as an official in charge of education in the county government, and returned to the village when he was old.

This old official was a scholar, and he talked to the old Taoist priest very speculatively, so every year when he came to collect medicine, the Taoist priest usually lived in his house.

When they returned, the servants rubbed their sleepy eyes, opened the door for them, and went to bed, and the two went into the room with their lamps in hand, and made up their beds to bed, and they were the only ones in the room. The feng shui master felt that since he left the girl's house, the old Taoist priest did not say a word, and even more so as to have something on his mind. The feng shui master finally asked the question he had been holding back for a long time: "Senior, I think you seem to have something on your mind, what are you worried about?" ”

When the feng shui master asked this, he saw that the old Taoist priest's face was suddenly full of sternness and mystery, he first looked out the window, and then in a very low voice, approached the feng shui master's ear and said, "Don't you feel that on the way back, in the dark, there is always a person who has been following us?" ”

Upon hearing this, the feng shui master was taken aback, and hurriedly replied in a low voice: "No, how did you find out, I didn't find anything abnormal at all."

The old Taoist priest did not answer him directly, but pointed to his bed and said, "Can you feel a snake under my bed?" ”

The feng shui master was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly picked up the oil lamp on the table, and went under the bed to look, and sure enough, in the dim light, a small snake could be seen, curled up under the bed of the old Taoist.

But what does this have to do with noticing that someone is following?
