Chapter 50: The Dove Occupies the Magpie's Nest
At that time, the only people who knew that she was the mountain god were my grandfather and the three of them, and it was only my grandfather and the three of them who knew that she was the mountain god and saw that she had a child, so this matter could only be revealed by one of the two of them.
The eldest grandfather has now gone to Yin Si, and Liu admits that the eldest grandfather has a good conscience, so it is unlikely that he will frame the old mountain god who is kind to him, and only the old man Li is the most suspicious.
Besides, the old mountain god died in a remote place like the West Cliff, and the shoes must have fallen there, and the old man Li would not run there to pick up the shoes of the old mountain god for no reason, and then gave the shoes to my mother and extinguished a fire on my head, and hid it from us, which means that he may be in league with the white fox.
If you speculate like this, you can almost conclude that this thing was done by Old Man Li.
Huang Yunqiu finished talking about everything at the beginning, and I subconsciously looked at her feet, because I had never seen a little foot wrapped before, she had just come out of the coffin, and she happened to be barefoot at this moment.
Huang Yunqiu also noticed that I was staring at her feet, and with an extremely embarrassed expression, she withdrew her feet into her Taoist robe and didn't let me look at them.
I said, "Sister, your feet are so small." ”
Huang Yunqiu is not a little foot at all, it's just that her feet are much smaller than normal people, and the shoes she wears are naturally smaller, so she is regarded as a little foot.
It's okay if I don't say it, when I say this, Huang Yunqiu is embarrassed and embarrassed, and grandpa directly patted me, "Don't be nonsense!" ”
I obediently shut up, and Liu Cheng then stood up and said, "Let's go, it's time to go to Old Man Li, he has been idle for so long." ”
After that, Liu Cheng took me, Huang Yunqiu and Chen Yingying to Old Man Li's house together, the sky was already bright at this time, but the sky was gloomy today, and the sun was not out, so there was no need to use an umbrella.
All the way to Old Man Li's house, I saw Old Man Li sitting in the house looking at the pile of waste piled up in the corner of his house, we went to the door, Old Man Li turned around, when he saw Huang Yunqiu, he was stunned, and it took a long time to say, "Old Mountain God, why did you come out?" ”
As soon as he said this, it was revealed that he knew that the old mountain god was locked up in the mine, and Liu Cheng didn't say much, and asked directly, "Please tell us what happened at that time, why are they looking for that child?" ”
What Liu Cheng wants to confirm is only who that kid is, whether he is the one who is being used to replace Emperor Dongyue.
Huang Yunqiu has already come out, and we have already come to the door, Old Man Li also knew that the matter could not be hidden, sighed, first invited us into the house to sit down, then lit a cigarette and smoked, and then looked at Huang Yunqiu and said, "I already knew that what I couldn't hide was that I was sorry for you, you saved us at that time, I shouldn't have done such an ungrateful thing." But this was not my intention, when someone came to me and asked you about your whereabouts, I knew they had bad intentions, but they wanted me to die, I could only tell them your whereabouts, I had a troubled conscience at that time, and I went to the West Cliff to see, when I went you had an accident, I only picked up a shoe. But if you ask who that girl is, I don't know, and I don't know why they're looking for that girl. That shoe, I gave it to Sun Qing and his mother, I am a farmer, where do I have the ability to fight with them, what they say about what Si Temple and what kind of immortals, I was scared at the time, so I told them this. ”
"Who's that guy looking for you? Is that the guy you met at the inn before? Liu Cheng asked.
Even Huang Yunqiu didn't know who that kid was, and he didn't have to think about it, this old man Li definitely didn't know.
Old man Li thought for a while before remembering what happened to my mother and Gao Licheng at the post station, and replied, "It's not him, I don't know, it's the first time I've seen him." ”
Liu Cheng frowned, the clue was broken again, so many people didn't know who the child was, Liu Cheng only asked a few words, and he wasn't ready to ask, Old Man Li didn't know if he asked three times, and it was in vain to ask again, so he only said to Old Man Li, "You are so self-conscious, if you want to increase the blessing and longevity of future generations, then you have to do something that does not violate your conscience." ”
Old man Li said yes in a loud voice.
We didn't stay long in Old Man Li's house, and we went back to the house again, Liu Cheng thought about it all the way, and finally looked at Huang Yunqiu and said, "Your master really didn't mention the identity of that child to you?" ”
Huang Yunqiu was very sure that Yaoyao said, "No." After shaking his head, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to Liu Cheng, "But when I went to the blind man's house, the old man in his family mentioned it, saying that this doll's life is not simple, and said that Xiaolong has died, and the dragon has only one in the first age, and the new dragon has to be born later than the little dragon, and the rabbit runs in the round mountain, and always has to return to the nest, whoever saved the little dragon, the new dragon was born in whose house, but at that time I was in a hurry to save the child, and I didn't take his words to heart." ”
Liu Cheng thought for a moment after hearing this, "Are you sure you heard him correctly?" ”
Huang Yunqiu said, "That's what he said." ”
Liu Cheng suddenly stared at me, "How old are you this year?" ”
I didn't understand why Yoo Seung suddenly asked me this, but he still said, "I'm nine years old." ”
Liu Cheng asked Chen Yingying again, "Girl, how old are you?" ”
"Twenty." Chen Yingying said.
Liu Cheng's originally happy expression disappeared immediately, as if he was talking to himself, "It's not right, it's less than a year." ”
We didn't understand why Liu Cheng asked this, he thought all the way back to the house, and when he was about to get to my house, Liu Cheng was excited again, "Are you nine years old or nine years old?" ”
I don't know what the age is, I shook my head and said I didn't know, and went all the way back to the house, and Liu Cheng asked his grandfather this question again.
Grandpa replied, "One year old." ”
Liu Cheng's face immediately appeared with a happy expression, and he stared at me and smiled again, "I understand, I understand." ”
We didn't know what Liu Cheng understood, but Liu Cheng didn't say much, but told me, "From today on, if someone asks you how old you are, you have to say that you are nine years old, you know?" ”
I sighed, "Okay." Then he asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
Liu Cheng didn't know what to say, but said, "I'll tell you when it's right." ”
And Huang Yunqiu next to him seemed to understand something at this time, his face changed suddenly, he looked at me first, and then hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I remember, that old man said something at that time." ”
"What did you say?" Ryu Seung asked.
Huang Yunqiu said, "He said that there is nothing in the world, mediocrity disturbs themselves, nine is the extreme, even if he is saved, he will not live to be nine years old." When he is nine years old, an old dragon will come to the door, and this old dragon will come to save people and harm people. ”
"That's all?"
Huang Yunqiu shook his head and said, "I thought he was talking about the child I was holding, and it was about her life, so I asked more." The old man said that when the little dragon was nine years old, a homeless old dragon would come to the new dragon's house to ask for a nest, but one mountain could not tolerate two tigers, let alone two dragons, and the old dragon would squeeze the little dragon out of the nest. ”
Liu Cheng was stunned when he heard it, these words were like playing dumb riddles, I couldn't understand it, I was wondering, do people like them like like to talk like this, but then I knew that the secret of heaven could not be revealed, and I knew the reason why they talked like this.
Liu Cheng didn't quite understand this sentence, and at noon that day, a man with an umbrella came to my door.
When he arrived at my door, he bowed to Liu Cheng, and then said, "The Chenghuang appointment document has come down, I won't stay in this township anymore, you asked me to help you find a Taoist temple before, I have let people find it, I ordered someone to clean the Taoist temple, but when cleaning the Taoist temple, a roadblock boulder rolled down the mountain, as long as the roadblock boulder is disposed of, you can live in that Taoist temple." ”
I looked at Liu Cheng next to me and said, "When did you ask Lord Di to find the Taoist Temple?" ”
Liu Cheng frowned, "Night! Then he hurriedly said to the land lord, "You tell your people to stop quickly, and you are not allowed to move the boulder that blocks the way." ”
