Chapter 232: Three Days of Danger
Chapter 232: Three Days of Danger
I was ecstatic to see the loss of the copper coin, but looking at the aluminum lunch box in my hand, I felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Lao Wu saw me staring at the lunch box stunned, leaned over and saw the copper coins inside, and asked in surprise:
"Didn't you say that this copper coin was taken to sell the stolen goods, why did it come back again?"
I sent for a moment and whispered back:
"Lao Wu, it's always right to be kind to others."
............................
We finally arrived at Tongyu smoothly and saw the old ghost that Lao Wu was thinking about.
This old ghost is about sixty years old, with rough and dark skin and cracked palms, and at first glance he is an authentic peasant man.
The name of the old ghost is not good, I thought he would be a thief eyebrows, or a chattering person, but he is so ordinary and the same as the inside.
The old ghost is very real, and the only thing that surprised me was that he didn't know Lao Wu!!
The old ghost was doing farm work in the field, and after listening to Lao Wu's spitting self-introduction, he was still very confused.
I looked at Lao Wu embarrassedly and worked hard to get close to him, and I had mixed feelings in my heart, Lao Wu is used to being a leader, and his speech is still so unreliable, far away does not say far, and near does not say near.
At this time, the field was busy, and after listening to him dance carefully for a long time, he finally ran out of patience and smiled politely:
"I understand what you're saying, since you know my nickname, you should have heard of my rules, right?"
Lao Wu replied with a smile:
"I know, I know, my brother only sells news, he doesn't come out, he doesn't catch ghosts, he doesn't show the way."
"Then what are you doing for me, I'm really sorry, I don't treat people."
With that, the old ghost turned and went back to the field.
On the first side, Lao Wu was choked with a gray face, and I was even more speechless, I swore on the road that I promised me very well, saying that the old ghost would definitely give me a doctor, but I was rejected so badly.
Lao Wu embarrassedly led me to the side of the village road and said with a smile:
"Our method is wrong, chatting in the field delays people doing farm work."
I smiled wryly and asked:
"And what's next?"
Lao Wu waved his hand forward: "Let's go, go to his door and wait." ”
Although the old ghost does not know Lao Wu, but Lao Wu knows him very well, the old ghost's real name is Wang Qianyi, we casually inquired a few people and found his house, I waited with Lao Wu at the door until the sun went down, and the old ghost finally came back with a hoe.
Seeing that the two of us were not leaving at the gate of his house, he was not angry, and asked Lao Wu with a smile:
"What's the matter, brother, do you want to stay and eat?"
Lao Wu smiled and nodded:
"Hey, eat." As he spoke, he pushed me and whispered:
"You should find a snack bar and buy some ready-made food and come back, and buy more wine."
I was stunned for a moment, nodded at the old ghost, and went shopping.
The old ghost is a bachelor, and his family has nothing but a table and a bedding, and he is not poor, but simply poor.
It's not good to let Lao Wu do the right thing, but the coaxing kung fu that has been exercised by the leader over the years is really first-class, and I started to be busy setting up the food after returning from the snack bar, and the two of them didn't know what they were talking about, and they laughed out loud.
After putting the table and chopsticks, Lao Wu grabbed the wine bottle in my hand and poured it into the old ghost's second bowl.
Picked up the bowl and touched the old ghost, took a sip of white wine, we began to eat with vegetables, to my surprise, at the dinner table, Lao Wu just chatted with the old ghost about some irrelevant topics about crops, and did not mention anything about the matter of coming to me to see a doctor this time.
This is also where Lao Wu's slippery head is, after two rounds of drinking, the old ghost couldn't hold it back, looked up at me seriously, and said that it was strange, he looked at me, I trembled like an electric shock.
After the old ghost looked at me, he turned his head and asked Lao Wu and said:
"Is he the one you said you were going to see in the field?"
Lao Wu smiled and nodded, and poured the old ghost's second bowl full of liquor.
"Yes, treat this kid."
The old ghost pursed his lips and said with pity:
"Don't look at it, people are dying."
As soon as these words fell, I was stunned, and Lao Wu's hand shook when he heard that he was pouring wine here, and the wine bottle fell on the table and scattered a large piece.
I quickly got up and found a burlap to wipe off the liquor on the table, and Lao Wu pushed me and motioned for me to sit back.
"You just said...."
The old ghost repeated unhurriedly:
"This kid is dying."
I glanced at Lao Wu, although I hadn't seen the old ghost's skills, but inexplicably hearing that he sentenced me to death still scared me a lot.
Lao Wu hurriedly asked:
"Brother, what do you say?"
The old ghost picked up the second bowl and drank a big sip of wine, wiped his mouth and replied:
"Boy, have you seen anything unclean lately?"
I'm a little bit dumbfounded, because just yesterday, I saw several ghosts in succession.
"Then it's done, the yang energy is almost gone."
I whispered back:
"It was the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar every month...", the old ghost hurriedly said:
"I know, that's enough for you to choke, you see which person who is always in contact with evil can live a long time."
The old ghost's words make sense, I first thought of the Yin fairy Li Tong, he has to cross the Yin to contact the little ghost every day, and he has not much life to live at the same age as me, not to mention that he ended up with a tragic death in the end.
Thinking of what happened to Li Tong, my nervous palms sweated, and I asked anxiously:
"How long will I live?"
The old ghost burped.
"It's only three days!"
"What?!"
The old ghost doesn't play humorous jokes, and listening to him makes me feel like I've been sentenced.
I blurted out and asked:
"What then?"
The old ghost still replied coldly.
"Let's get ready for the future."
My heart flickered again.
The atmosphere condensed for a few seconds, Lao Wu smiled awkwardly, and after breaking the calm, he gave the old ghost a full drink.
"Well, you see this kid is only in his early thirties......"
When the old ghost heard this, he hurriedly raised his hand and whispered:
"I don't give people a head, I don't catch ghosts, I don't show the way, I only sell news, and I will sell you the news for this meal."
The old ghost spoke without a beginning, without a middle, and directly told me this tragic result, which made me turn my head.
After the old ghost finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave, Lao Wu hurried over, lay on his ear and whispered a few words, but he didn't expect the old ghost's face to change greatly, and after looking at me again, he slowly returned to his seat and sat down.
I don't know what Lao Wu said, but this sentence definitely touched the old ghost a lot, and the old ghost just sat and didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.
I asked uneasily:
"Uncle ghost, tell me the cause and effect, you said that I don't know why I'm going to die if I don't feel pain or itch."
The old ghost sighed, took out a dry cigarette from his pocket, licked a little saliva with his index finger, and said unhurriedly while twisting the cigarette paper:
"You've messed with such a bad thing, in fact, if you hadn't been kind to your heart, you would have died yesterday, and you wouldn't have survived me today."
I thought of the big-eyed beauty last night, she cleverly went around in a circle just to trick me into sending her to the woods opposite, where her body was found, if I wasn't worried about Lao Wu's safety and went directly with her, maybe I would really die.
Does the old ghost know what happened to me yesterday?
"Uncle ghost, is it because I saw something dirty yesterday, but Lao Wu is with me, why is he okay?"
Lao Wu was stunned when he heard this, and asked me in a panic:
"I'm talking about you, why did you get involved with me?"
I replied in a deep voice:
"Do you remember the two beauties who live next door to us, they drowned a few years ago."
Lao Wu's face turned pale when he heard this, and he asked me suspiciously:
"Two beauties? Didn't you just hear some movement, how do you know that there are two beautiful women living next door to us? I didn't see it? ”
I'm dumbfounded!
Thinking of the Taiwanese boss checking in for the big-eyed beauty, he definitely saw it, but the owner died.....
I couldn't help but feel a chill in my back spine, and I felt that the old ghost was right, it was not a good thing to see ghosts on weekdays.
The old ghost glanced at Lao Wu, as if he had made up his mind, and said slowly:
"I haven't made an exception to my rules for decades, but since he has instructions, I have to help with this."
With that, the old ghost turned to me and said:
"Young man, stay with me for three days, if you don't die within these three days, you'll be fine, if you die....."
Lao Wu coughed awkwardly when he heard this:
"If it's dead, we'll just mention it."
Listening to the meaning of the old ghost's words, he didn't seem to be very bottom-up, my heart sank, and I asked:
"Why three days?"
"Within three days, something dirty will come to the door."
What the old ghost said was not painful or itchy, and after listening to it, I suddenly felt a chill coming from the tiger striped copper coin on my neck, is it a big trouble to grab something?
I didn't ask much else, the old ghost broke the rules for decades to help me, I don't want to make him feel troubled, all words, just leave it in three days.
I was nervous in the second half of the meal, and since the old ghost was willing to help, Lao Wu didn't persuade him to drink anymore.
After the meal, the old ghost told me to go to the cowshed to pick up the pot of cow urine and said that it was used at night, but the cow did not urinate, I wanted the cow to drink more water, tried to add sugar to the water, it did not drink, add salt, it did not drink, and finally I came up with a strange trick, and lit a fire in the cowshed!
The fire was lit not far from the two old oxen, and after half an hour, the barn was as hot as a stove, and even I was almost cooked, and the two cattle finally began to gulp water.
It didn't take long for me to collect a pot of cow urine.
The old ghost told me to hide behind the oxen in the cowshed, and poured a circle of cow urine on me, telling me not to come out if I heard any movement outside.
I remembered Journey to the West, and I felt like a Tang monk!
At night, I honestly stayed in the cowshed, my heart was uneasy, the two oxen of the old ghost were very obedient, and they were not afraid of people, I rested my head on the cow's body, and I was tormented by the night.
The current situation is very similar to when I was in Huaihu Village, when Mrs. Qiu helped me catch ghosts, but in the end I took my own life, so if I fail, will the old ghost be as dangerous as Mrs. Qiu?
I don't want to bother others anymore, thinking of this, my heart is full of melancholy, just as I was slipping away, I suddenly heard the wooden door of the cowshed creak, as if something was about to come in!!
