Chapter 281: Insider
The female ghost said, "We lonely ghosts with miserable backgrounds were eaten by that snake when we were alive. After he died, his soul was imprisoned by him and could not leave the building. We, the lonely ghosts, are one or two less from time to time. It is said that he was eaten by the snake. It's so ruthless that it eats not only our bodies, but also our souls. ”
The thin man nodded: "That snake is probably using your soul to refine Neidan." Then he asked the ghost, "Do you know where this snake came from?" ”
The female ghost thought for a moment and said, "Actually, we don't have any evidence to find out where this snake came from. It's just that everyone has seen each other's lonely ghosts in the whole building. Only there is no dean's soul. Everyone said that the dean was the first to be refined by this snake. In that case, the dean would have been the first to be killed. The snake may have been brought in by him. ”
We nodded. I frowned and thought, "Before the director retired, he lived in an orphanage, and he has lived here since he retired. So, the snake came from the orphanage? ”
Obviously, this section is not only what I figured out. The adoptive father also figured it out. He looked at me and said, "Is it possible that Xu You was eaten by this snake?" ”
I nodded: "It's possible." However, I always feel that most of the targets chosen by this snake are obese people, and the possibility of attacking babies is not particularly large. ”
The adoptive father nodded slightly, and then he analyzed: "If the dean was eaten by this snake before he retired, then it is very likely that it was this snake that hid Xu You back then." As long as we catch it, we should be able to ask Xu Yu's whereabouts. Speaking of this, his gaze dimmed for a moment: "However, if the dean hides Xu You, he will only be eaten by this snake." Then I'm afraid I'll never find out about Xu You. ”
I don't know if to comfort him or what to do. I patted him on the shoulder: "There must be a way, don't forget, we are all cultivators, and there is nothing we can't find." ”
A smile appeared on his adoptive father's face: "I hope so." ”
The abbot was restless here, and he asked us, "What are you going to do?" Do you keep catching this snake or go home now? ”
The thin man sighed: "This snake has run away, and it is estimated that it will not be caught." Let's go home, prepare to visit the master who swept the floor. ”
As he walked out, the adoptive father said, "The master is gone, and no one knows where he lives." ”
The paper man thanked the thin man for a thousand thanks, and then drifted away, probably returning to his hometown.
And we all walked back with sad faces. Along the way, I carefully thought about the events of the past two days, and planned to sort out a clue.
My adoptive father suddenly tapped me on the shoulder. I looked at him in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”
The adoptive father smiled and said, "I can't imagine that you have made so many good friends in the past few years outside." Not bad, not bad. ”
After saying this, as if he had done something bad, he quickly quickened his pace, took two steps forward, and crossed me.
We walked slowly down the street. By this time it was already noon. The smell of rice wafted from every house, and I couldn't help but feel a wave of hunger.
Wushuang obviously felt the same way, she clutched her stomach and said, "Xu You, I'm dying of hunger, when are we going to eat?" ”
I looked at the way: "It's almost home, I'll eat when I get home." Did you see the park? Just ...... over the park Ay? Park? Cockfighting! ”
I hurriedly whispered to everyone. He said to them, "Don't go." You see, the old men who fought cocks are here again. I don't know if that bald is there. ”
Wushuang pulled out his peachwood sword and waved to us: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." I can't let him run away this time. ”
The abbot volunteered to stay and take care of his adoptive father. The four of us cultivators slowly outflanked the past in a fan shape. Surround the old men in the center from all four directions.
Wushuang nodded at us, and then shouted, "Don't move, squat." ”
The old men were startled, and then reacted. They all squatted down. Holding his head, he didn't dare to look up.
The chickens lost their owner's control, flew and jumped in the park, and soon fell to the ground, and the scene was quite chaotic.
Wushuang swept away the chicken feathers and picked up those old men one by one. Those with hair are let go, and those with baldness are left behind.
In the end, only four bald heads were left crouching on the ground. They said with bitter faces: "Now the cockfight is also in charge?" Even if our cockfighting is gambling. Why do we have to stay when others can leave? Is there something wrong with baldness? ”
Wushuang shouted: "Don't be wordy, raise your head and let us recognize it." ”
The men slowly looked up. Only then did they realize that it was not the police who arrested them. These people immediately came to life, jumped up from the ground, and struck at us with their fists.
We skilfully dodged it. Then they looked at each other disappointedly. None of these people were the bald old men of the day.
We were full of worries, but we just subconsciously avoided the attacks of the old men, and seemed to be at ease.
After a while, the old men fought for a while, and when they saw that they could not touch the corners of our clothes, they simply gave up. They started catching chickens in the park.
The sloppy Taoist priest stopped one of them: "Do you recognize another old man?" Also bald. His chickens are particularly powerful, known as ten chickens out of one phoenix or something. ”
The old man panted and said, "You are asking the old bustard?" ”
The sloppy Taoist priest was surprised: "How do you call the old bustard?" ”
The old man said, "That guy raises so many chickens. What is not an old bustard? ”
The sloppy Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "This group of old men is really a little disrespectful to the old. Then he asked, "Do you know where the old bustard lives?" ”
The old man waved his hand impatiently, and said while catching chickens, "Then who knows? The anti-pornography office can't find him, this kid is a thief. ”
The sloppy Taoist priest asked unwillingly: "You don't know? ”
The old man nodded affirmatively: "Not only I don't know, but no one in the whole of Zhengzhou knows." ”
The sloppy Taoist priest sighed and retreated.
The old men grabbed the chickens and walked away in twos and threes.
We stayed in the park for a while and then went back.
After walking for two steps, suddenly someone behind him whispered, "What are you looking for the old bustard?" ”
When I looked back, it was one of the old men. He still has a chicken coop in his hand. He was staring at us with a sinister face.
I asked the old man, "What?" Do you know where the old bustard lives? ”
The old man smiled mysteriously: "I'm afraid." That's where I know where he lives. But you have to tell me why you're looking for him. ”
The abbot pointed at me and said, "This kid has been an orphan since he was a child, and he wants to know ...... his parents."
The old man replied first: "The old bustard is your father?" It's not like it's old. ”
I waved my hand: "No, he seems to know a clue, let's think about him and inquire." ”
The old man pondered for a while and said, "You mean to say." You didn't know him before. Just wanted to ask him something this time? ”
I nodded: "I didn't know each other before. It's not a parent. ”
The old man's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay." I can take you there, but when it's done, you'll have to help me steal his black out. Hehe, in the future, I will be able to win all battles in cockfighting. ”
I didn't care and said, "If only you can lead us to the old bustard." ”
The old man looked at the sky and said, "It's still too early. I'll be waiting for you here when it's darkened. ”
The abbot was a little reluctant: "Why does it have to be at night?" How terrible is the black rumbling? ”
The old man sighed: "You don't know. Once, a chicken that I had been training for many days was pecked to death by the old bustard's black chicken. I couldn't get angry, so I quietly followed him, wanting to see where his house was. As a result, he took me all the way around. It went around until midnight. I walked that road at night. I remember clearly where there are street lights and where there are shadows. If it were daytime, I wouldn't be able to find my way. ”
We nodded, "In that case, let's go back to lunch first and then get some sleep." Come here after dark. ”
The old man happily agreed. Carrying the chicken coop and staggering away.
