Chapter 334: The Third Day in the Rainstorm
The door of the old god's house opened, and a huge wine vat stood in the doorway, and the old god moved a small stool to sit next to the wine vat. From afar, we saw the old god with a scoop in his hand, and he kept scooping up the wine from the vat and pouring it into his mouth.
The old god's eyesight seemed to be very good, and the three of us were holding umbrellas. Before we could get to the old man's house, the old man found us, he looked drunk, and waved at us. When I got closer, I saw that the old god's eyes were bulging, and his eyes were full of bloodshots.
His face was flushed, and the red spread all the way to his neck. The old god stick laughed heavily, he couldn't even speak clearly, he was so drunk, his hand holding the scoop was trembling, but he still didn't mean to stop at all. Continue to pour the wine into your mouth one bite at a time.
The three of us glanced at each other, Jiang Jun strode forward, snatched the scoop from the old god's hand, and directly pulled him up and walked into the house, the old god's mouth cursed, and kept saying that he wanted to drink. Shen Nuo and I also put down our umbrellas and went into the old god's house, and after sitting down, the old godstick was still drunk.
Shen Nuo lowered his voice and quietly asked me what to do in my ear.
I thought about it. The old god stick looks drunk, not like he is pretending, and in this case, the confession made by the inquiry cannot be used as evidence. But it is said that if you drink and spit out the truth, we can use this opportunity to explore the bottom of the old god. That's what I thought. I quietly called out to the old god.
The old god stared blankly at me. The next chapter has been updated
I smiled: "Sir, is this wine delicious?" ”
Who knew that the old god stick suddenly laughed, and he spoke intermittently: "It's delicious, it's delicious, and you can drink it for a few days, I don't know." The old god said, and tears suddenly appeared in the corners of his eyes,
I was slightly surprised, the old god stick's words were meaningful, and I was sure that the old god stick was not drunk, and he could still control his consciousness.
"What do you mean, sir?" I asked deliberately.
"Young man, you said what I calculated for you two days ago. Is it accurate? The old god didn't answer the question.
When Jiang Jun heard this, he sneered, and he told the old god stick my inference about why the old god stick could not know the prophet. The old god nodded again and again. He looked at me again: "Sure enough, young man, how about I do the math for you?" ”
I immediately asked the old god stick to continue, I wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the old god stick's gourd.
"This first hexagram is calculated by me for you." The old god raised his hand and pointed it at me.
Me: "Are you saying I'm going to die of a curse?" ”
Unlike what I imagined, the old god stick actually denied it. He laughed and said that I would live well, but in the near future, I would suffer something more painful than death, the old god said for a long time, but in fact, he kept repeating those words, and when they were connected, it was just that sentence.
I didn't interrupt the old god's words, but listened to his every word in my heart, and every word the old godstick said, my heartstrings would be tugged.
"And this second hexagram is calculated by me for myself." The old god stick continued.
The old god suddenly stopped laughing, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, and his words were full of vicissitudes and loneliness. He told me that he didn't have much to live.
"Why?" I asked rhetorically, "Although the old gentleman is old, he is still in good health, so why did he say such things to us?" ”
The old god squinted at me, "Because you're smart." ”
I was stunned, the old god's words deeply stimulated me, and the string in my heart was completely broken, and at this moment, the old godstick stood up, his hands behind his back, and walked towards the house step by step. After the old god walked away, Jiang Jun spoke: "This old man is babbling nonsense. ”
"He's not talking gibberish." I replied, "As I deduced before, there is also a chess piece in Xiaopan Village, the same chess piece as Uncle Fan. ”
Jiang Jun opened his mouth wide: "You say, he is a chess piece?" ”
I nodded affirmatively: "It's just whose pawn he is, I don't know." ”
After entering the house, the old god praised me twice in a row, saying that I was smart, but before "smart", there were two more strange words.
The first word before "smart" is "sure enough". I noticed this detail, "sure enough" means that the old god stick knows me, whether this is the old god stick deliberately said, I don't know, but the second word before "smart" is definitely the old god stick wants to express some meaning to me.
The second word before "smart" is "because". The old god said he wouldn't live long because I was smart. I won't harm the old god stick, and I only came to the village to investigate, so I'm not smart or not, it only has something to do with whether I can find out any clues, and whether the old god stick will die or not is probably also related to whether the clues can be found out.
Because of this, my "cleverness" and the old god stick did not live long, forming an indirect relationship.
Since we came to the village, we have seen the old god stick get drunk many times, and it seems that the old god stick is not pretending to drink, but really wants to use wine to drown his sorrows, which can be seen from the tears in the corners of his eyes.
"The old god knows that he is going to die, so he is troubled?" Shen Nuo asked.
I shook my head: "At this age, death is only a matter of time." The old god stick is much older than Uncle Fan, and he naturally sees it more openly, so his annoyance probably also stems from unwillingness, just like Uncle Fan. ”
Uncle Fan just wanted to live at first, but in the end, he saw through that it was better to die happily than to live in such pain, so Uncle Fan chose to commit suicide. The old god stick is definitely part of a huge conspiracy, but I think that the old god stick may also have unspeakable secrets.
So when the old god said that he was about to die, there was even relief in his tone.
I didn't just make this speculation based on subjective speculation, I looked at the corner of the old god's house, and I was even more sure.
Jiang Jun asked me what I was looking at, and I smiled: "I think, something is going to fall out soon, let's go to the next place." ”
Jiang Jun: "Where to go?" ”
I replied, "We've all been face-to-face with the three most suspicious people, and now it's time to go and touch the fourth strange person." ”
I already have a definite speculation in my heart that the old god stick has nothing to do with the death of the camel, but he definitely has something to do with the destruction of the Xiao family more than ten years ago. My heart was cleared again, I walked towards the door, Jiang Jun and Shen Nuo followed behind me, our shoes were all wet, and the heavy rain did not mean to become smaller at all, but it was getting heavier and heavier.
Stepping into the Xiao family's compound again, we pushed open the wooden door of the house.
In order not to waste time, Jiang Jun asked us to sit in the hall of the house, and he went to find Xiao Lao and brought Xiao Lao with him. We agreed, and while waiting, Shen Nuo asked me what I had seen in the old god's house.
"Something that can connect the old god stick with Xiao Yingfeng." I replied.
Shen Nuo frowned: "What do you mean?" ”
"From the first time I went to the old god's house, I had a strange feeling in my heart, and it wasn't until today that I finally settled down." I thought for a while: "Maybe you don't know much, but if I mention Jiang Jun a little, Jiang Jun will definitely understand." ”
"Why?" Shen Nuo asked.
"Because Jiang Jun has experienced it, it is very familiar." I replied, looking at Shen Nuo's blank face, I said, "The case of Xiaopan Village should be divided into at least two parts. ”
Shen Nuo was confused by what I said, I thought about it, and told Shen Nuo with a smile that the case is a bit complicated, and when I finally decide, she will know. Shen Nuo knew my character, so she didn't ask any more.
After a while, Xiao Lao was helped out by Jiang Jun.
The door of the house was open, the rain was pouring outside, and Xiao Laomu walked towards us step by step. Jiang Jun helped Xiao Lao to a chair and sat down, and I looked Xiao Lao up and down. Xiao Lao is a very difficult person to ask, I was thinking about how to ask, a hole in Xiao Lao's clothes caught my attention.
The corners of my mouth rose slightly, and I didn't need a word to ask Xiao Lao, so it was over......
