Verse 187: The Humble Truth [II]
"Don't complain, you've been hiding for so long, but they've been watching us all the time, and they're talking about it all the time, and I still feel like I'm buzzing in my ears. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Guigu Song walked over exaggeratedly, he felt very funny about Liu Shoucai's complaints, he was the biggest victim, but Liu Shoucai didn't even see him, which made him really annoyed.
"You deserve it, who told you not to go back to the inn, you deserve to be noisy by those people, by the way, why did those people suddenly come to the village chief's house? Didn't the village chief make my words clear to them? Even if you want me to remind me again, by the way, where is the village chief? Why don't you see others? ”
Liu Shoucai said for so long, only then did he find that the village chief had not seen anyone, so he was even more unhappy.
"The village chief said that he was going to work in the fields, so he went out early, and those villagers gathered because they had nothing to do, and some were too gossipy, or they were selfish cowards."
"Alas! I've really convinced them, forget it, don't talk about this, by the way, what about Badou and Xiaobai? Why don't you see them, could it be that they also go to help the village chief farm the land? ”
"Didn't they go back to the inn? I didn't see them! ”
Guigu Song also looked strange, he thought that Badou and Xiaobai followed Liu Shoucai back to the inn, who knew that Liu Shoucai would ask himself.
"No! They didn't go back to the inn with me, I went back alone, and when I woke up, I found that it was already afternoon, so I rushed back, could it be that they didn't come back at noon? Could it be that something is wrong? ”
As soon as Liu Shoucai thought of this, he immediately became worried, and hurriedly negotiated with Badou and Xiaobai with his mind, but the two of them didn't react at all, just like before, the heart-to-heart exchange once again lost its effect.
"How? Still can't get in touch with them? ”
"Alas! Not to mention, there was no reaction at all, just like before, the mental communication was interrupted, and I don't know what happened to them. ”
Liu Shoucai was worried, especially when he couldn't be contacted, he was even more worried, because he couldn't contact the other party, so he didn't know if the other party was safe, whether something had happened, this feeling of being at a loss made Liu Shoucai very uncomfortable, but he was helpless.
"Calm down first, maybe they'll be fine, let's wait, if they don't come back, then we'll go to them, anyway, this is such a big place, even if they run, they can't run anywhere."
When Guigu Song said these words, he didn't have a bottom in his heart, but he knew that now was not the time to panic, otherwise Liu Shoucai's pressure would become more and more great.
"Let's hope something really won't happen to them!"
Liu Shoucai also had no bottom in his heart, just when Liu Shoucai and Guigu Song were worried about their safety, they came back, and they were all very excited, and the angry Liu Shoucai scolded directly.
"Good! You guys are really good enough, so we have to worry about you here in vain, you guys are having a good time, don't come back if you have the ability, what are you going to do when you come back? ”
"Liu Shoucai, are you crazy? If you get hot, go drink some mung bean paste, inexplicably, you will be scolded as soon as you enter the door, who are we offending here? ”
"Xiaobai, don't blame him, we haven't been able to contact you just now, and you have been out for too long, and you haven't told us a word, so we are all worried about you, and we think something happened to you."
"Who said we didn't tell you when we went out? We told you when we went out, but you didn't remember it, who is to blame? Besides, when we came to this village before, didn't we find out that this place can't use mind and soul communication? Why did I forget you again? ”
Xiaobai's fall made Liu Shoucai and Guigu Song both embarrassed, and they also remembered at this time, there was indeed such a thing, it seemed that the two of them were really too uncalm.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that about you, but I was really nervous just now."
"Liu Shoucai, you don't have to be too nervous, in fact, I can understand you, you are under too much pressure, that's why you're like this, don't think so much, take a good rest, I believe you will return to normal."
"What do you mean by that? What does it mean that I can get back to normal? Am I not normal right now? Where do I look like an abnormal person? Kind of you tell me again? ”
Liu Shoucai was really angry this time, he hated others saying that he was sick, but now it was Xiaobai who said so about him, Xiaobai saw that Liu Shoucai was really annoyed, and he didn't dare to say any more, so he turned around and ran back to the room.
"Brother Liu, calm down, don't be angry, it's also a joke."
Guigu Song comforted Liu Shoucai, Liu Shoucai tried to restrain his bad temper, and only after recovering a little bit of emotion did he sigh.
"Alas! I didn't want to quarrel with it, but I couldn't help it anymore, I felt a flame in my heart, and I wanted to erupt, but I couldn't find the origin of the eruption, and I wanted to extinguish it, but I couldn't extinguish it, and I really felt so depressed. ”
"Your situation is really serious now, be cautious, don't get so excited, come, learn from me, take a deep breath......"
"Come on! Do you believe this kind of nonsense that deceives children? If it had worked, I would have used it a long time ago, and where would I have waited until now. ”
Liu Shoucai was made to laugh out loud by Guigu Song's actions, and after laughing, his mood was much more relaxed, and seeing Liu Shoucai's smile on his face, Gui Gu Song was temporarily relieved.
"Okay, you're okay, let's go, let's go eat first! The village chief has been preparing a meal for a long time. ”
Guigu Song patted Liu Shoucai on the shoulder, and then took him to the kitchen, at this time the village chief had just put out the food, and when he saw Liu Shoucai and them coming, the village chief showed a simple smile.
"I'm really sorry, we don't have anything good to eat here, so I hope you will be a little bit better, and my cooking skills are not good, and I hope you don't dislike it, master."
"Where, let's eat is to eat a mind, feel free to order! As always, we don't have anything to be picky about. ”
"That's good, a few masters, please take a seat, and I'll serve you dinner right away."
The village chief looked happy, he felt that Guigu Song was very sincere, after eating, Liu Shoucai and they went back to the inn, this time, Badou and Xiaobai did not go with them, because the two of them were going to keep vigil in the village tonight.
"Brother Liu, do you think the demon Dao will come to make trouble tonight?"
"Can't you use Sky Voyeurism? Why don't you check it out? ”
"It's useless, it's useless to see it, the demon Dao has been meditating now, and I can't tell if it's his real body, maybe he used a stand-in to hide from the world?"
"It's also said that these days, the magic has begun to deceive people's eyes, alas! Forget it, don't think about it, let's go to bed early! Tomorrow morning, we will get up early to change Badou and Xiaobai, and the night will be very difficult. ”
Liu Shoucai understood the pain of staying up late, so he didn't continue to talk to Guigu Song, and fell asleep directly.
Early the next morning, Liu Shoucai and Guigu Song ran back, Badou and Xiaobai reported last night's incident with black circles under their eyes, except for a few villagers who made some trouble, there was nothing else special.
"Xiaobai, you said that there are villagers who make trouble at night, what are they making trouble?"
"What else can you make a fuss, it's nothing more than a short parent, okay, you don't have to worry about this, let's think about how to worry about what happens next!"
"What's next? What happened next, and what was there to deal with? ”
"Alas! Don't be angry! ”
"Well, I'm not angry, you say."
"Last night, we noticed some strange behavior from someone, and I think there must have been a traitor, as was the case in the previous villages."
"Are you sure?"
Hearing Xiaobai's suspicions, Liu Shoucai immediately became vigilant, what he was most worried about was this kind of traitorous thing, if this kind of thing really happened, it must be solved as soon as possible, if it takes a long time, there will definitely be a bigger accident.
"I can be sure, but not 100% sure, this will have to be investigated again tonight, if he does it tonight, then I can be sure."
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, and if that person is still like that tonight, you can quickly arrest him for me, lest he really betray us then."
"Got it, you can rest assured, I know what to do, okay, let's go to bed first, the feeling of staying up late is too sour, I really feel a little painful."
Xiaobai yawned as he spoke, Badou also looked listless, and after sending Xiaobai and Badou away, Liu Shoucai and Guigusong went to the village chief to understand the situation of that family.
"Village Chief, do you know the old man who lives in the back village?"
"Yes! He's an elder in this village, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with him? ”
The village chief looked at Liu Shoucai with a puzzled face, Liu Shoucai told the village chief everything that Xiaobai suspected, but the village chief directly denied Liu Shoucai's speculation.
"Impossible, Uncle Fang will not betray us, even if everyone in our village betrays, Uncle Fang will not, I absolutely trust him."
The village chief had a determined look on his face, and when Liu Shoucai saw this, he also knew that there was nothing else to gain if he continued to talk about it, so he didn't say anything more, and turned around and left.
"Hey, master, don't go yet! You said that you want to start the formation, so when will it start? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, you don't have to worry, it has nothing to do with you, you just need to take care of your own affairs."
Liu Shoucai's words made the village chief look embarrassed, and he didn't really want to interfere with Liu Shoucai and them, but the village chief wanted to take the opportunity to help, and fortunately, Liu Shoucai could take care of himself more at the moment of crisis, but unfortunately, Liu Shoucai was not moved by this, but felt that the village chief was a little annoying.
"Master Liu, I can really help you, why don't we help you prepare hot water for a bath? Or I can also help the master you draw talismans or something, in fact, I have also learned those Taoist priests to draw talismans before, although the drawings are not very similar, but the seven-point portrait is also possible. ”
The village chief's enthusiasm made Liu Shoucai and Guigu Song a little anxious, "Village chief, I really don't need your help for this, besides, we don't need any charms, and we don't dare to use the talismans you draw!" After all, this is a matter of everyone's life safety, not a messy game. ”
"Yes, village chief, you can save your worries, you don't have to trouble us, you go and rest! We really don't need your help here. ”
Guigu Song and Liu Shoucai both asked the village chief to rest, and when the village chief saw this, he could only obey Liu Shoucai and Guigu Song's orders, in fact, the village chief didn't sleep all night last night, and now he has been busy for so long, and he is already tired.
After returning to the room, the village chief fell asleep on the bed, no matter how hot the weather was, but fortunately it was still morning, so he was not a special person.
After the village chief left, Liu Shoucai and Guigu Song began to set up a formation in the courtyard, looking at this formation, Liu Shoucai also felt a lot more emotion in his heart.
"Brother Guigu, you said that if we really kill the demon Dao this time, what will we do in the future? Where are you going? ”
"I'll talk about it later, I'll finish the things in front of me first, in fact, I don't have much confidence in this matter of killing the demon Dao."
"I know what you mean, are you still thinking about that secret art? Okay, don't think about that, even if I'm 100% sure of that secret technique, I won't try it, because it's too cruel, I really can't accept it, I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts. ”
"I understand, I've always understood, otherwise, I would have solved the demon path by myself, where would I discuss it with you here, you! It's really too much to think about. ”
Guigu Song smiled lightly, and then walked directly to the left corner of the courtyard, and after putting down a jade plaque on the ground, Guigu Song began to chant the spell, and the jade plaque fell into the ground in front of everyone's eyes.
"Brother Guigu, what is that jade plate of yours? Why do you want to get the jade plaque underneath? What's the saying about this? The last time I asked you, I was interrupted, so I forgot to ask. ”
"Oh! This jade plate is actually to consolidate and strengthen the formation, if there is no jade plate, then the defensive performance of this formation will be very poor, as long as a light fist, this formation can be smashed. ”
"I really didn't expect that this formation still needs to be equipped with a jade plate, so what if there is no jade plate?"
"If you don't have a jade card, you can also use a stone instead, but the spiritual power of the stone is not as good as the spiritual power of the jade card, so the defense will be reduced a lot, if there are conditions, I still recommend using a jade card."
Guigu Song said very easily, it seems that the jade card is as casual as a stone in the mountain to him, if the jade card is placed in modern times, it will cost hundreds of thousands, and Liu Shoucai will not dare to use the defense system of the formation at will, he will really feel distressed.
"Brother Guigu, I really found out that you are a rich man, or lend me your money Huabei, last time you used my money to buy so many things, I didn't see you pluck a single hair, now it's time to sweat a little!"
Liu Shoucai said and walked towards Guigu Song with a wicked smile, Guigu Song was frightened by Liu Shoucai's treacherous smile, and hurriedly retreated.
"Village Chief, what's wrong with you? Scared me. ”
Seeing the village chief's sweaty appearance, Liu Shoucai hurriedly slapped his chest, he was really frightened by the village chief's excited expression just now.
"I'm sorry, I just had a nightmare just now, I thought that everyone in our village was dead, so I woke up scared, I'm really sorry, and I hope you will forgive me, master."
The village chief apologized to Liu Shoucai and Guigu Song as he spoke, Liu Shoucai is not the kind of unreasonable person, seeing that the village chief apologized, he didn't care about anything anymore, after all, everyone has this situation, so Liu Shoucai was embarrassed to say anything.
"Well, we don't blame you for anything, village chief, wait until you take us to meet the old man! I want to talk to him personally, if he really has nothing suspicious, then I won't say anything more, if he really chooses to be a traitor, I won't let him go, of course, if you can continue to accept him, then I have nothing to say. ”
Liu Shoucai made the village chief think for a while, and soon the village chief gave the answer.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, what do you say, then do it!"
The village chief had a depressed look on his face, Uncle Fang was one of the people he liked to be close to since he was a child, so many years have passed, the people around him have left one by one, and now Uncle Xia is the person he has nothing else to ask for, if even he chooses to betray himself, then the village chief really feels that he has no hope of living.
After chatting a few more words, the village chief went to wash his face, and then took Liu Shoucai and Guigu Song to find Uncle Fang, Uncle Fang's family seems to be in good condition, but the old man is at home alone, and the old man has only one daughter, but he married early and went to other places a few years ago, because it was too far away, so he rarely came back, so there was only Uncle Fang alone in the family.
"Uncle Fang, we came this time because we have something to ask you, I hope you can tell us the truth, of course, you can also choose not to say it, but we will treat you as the key object of suspicion at that time."
"What are you doing here? Make it so serious, just ask any questions! If I knew, I would have told you. ”
Uncle Fang looked kind, he couldn't see anything wrong, Liu Shoucai was also a little suspicious of his Xiaobai's words at this time, but he still strengthened his mind, and then asked everything Xiaobai saw last night.
Last night, when Xiao Bai was keeping vigil, he suddenly saw Uncle Fang sneakily running outside the village, and he also babbled to the black tree god for a long time What Xiao Bai didn't understand, like a spell, and then Uncle Fang sneaked back home.
