Chapter 240: Qiao's Family
The thin man was immediately furious and scolded, "You ugly and lame man, what do you say? "I was about to rush up and beat someone, but I only took a step forward and stopped there, obviously afraid that I had a serious illness and did not dare to step forward.
The lobby brother said, "Okay, shut up!" Chao Ah Zi said, "Little girl, does Doctor Fang live here?" ”
Ah Zi said: "My master is far away. The little girl was gentle by nature, and when she heard the thin man call her "village girl", she was not angry, but still replied softly.
The thin man "leaned" and said, "What the hell, we crawled for most of the day, but this dead old man is not there!" ”
As soon as she heard that the thin man was disrespectful to her master, the little girl was a little annoyed, and said, "My master is not at home, so it is inconvenient to greet you, so please do it." As he spoke, he stepped forward and pulled my arm and said, "Big ugly brother, you can't walk on this leg, you must listen to me this time." "You're going to pull me into the house.
I heard the lobby brother shouting, "Wait! Little girl, are you Mr. Fang's apprentice? When will your master come back? ”
Ah Zi was also good-tempered, but he still turned around and said, "My master has been out for a long time, and I don't know when I will come back, so please go back." ”
The thin man snorted and was about to speak, but was pressed down by the lobby brother, and said, "This is troublesome, someone in my family has a bad disease." Since Mr. Fang is not here, it would be good to invite his apprentice to take a look. Little girl, please come with us. ”
Ah Zi glanced at him and said, "What kind of evil disease?" ”
The lobby brother hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not easy to say for a while, just come with us to have a look." ”
I listened to them all the way, and knew that this Qiao family was not simple, I was afraid that there was some unsavory secret hidden, if Ah Zi, this little girl, was implicated by them, and I didn't know what big trouble it would cause, so I said: "I said that Mr. Fang is not there, how can the little girl know?" You'd better get some other doctors. ”
The thin man was furious: "You dead lame, how can you intervene here!" ”
Ah Zi's little face turned cold, and said, "Brother Big Ugly is my patient, if you talk nonsense like this again, please leave." ”
The lobby brother shouted: "Shut up for me!" The thin man snorted coldly, and heard the woman named Hui'er say impatiently: "Isn't it just a little village girl, where did she come from so much nonsense, just take it back and deal with the old man at home!" ”
The thin man said "ha", took that Qiao Dong, and was about to step forward to pull people.
Ah Zi pulled me back and said, "Don't mess around, I'll go with you." He said to me, "Big ugly brother, you can recuperate here." ”
Originally, I was still thinking about it in my heart, what are the very vicious spells in the Maoshan Technique that don't cost people's lives, find a few and throw them on them. But then I thought about it, this Qiao family has deep roots, and they live near here, and as soon as I leave, Ah Zi, a little girl's family, will suffer.
Seeing that she was taken away by the four members of the Qiao family, she followed and said, "Then let's go together, otherwise I will be here alone and have nothing to eat." As soon as I stepped forward, the thin man and the wise man were startled and hurriedly retreated, and the thin man shouted, "What are you doing here, you dead lame?" You want to infect us! ”
Ah Zi said: "What nonsense are you talking about, the big ugly brother is just scarred, not an infectious disease." ”
The elder brother probably didn't want to make a fuss, and said, "Since that's the case, let's bring it together." He glanced up at the sky, frowned, and said, "It's not early, we have to go back quickly." ”
As soon as he said this, the thin man and the others stopped talking, but tried to stay away from me as much as possible. Seeing that I had to follow, Ah Zi stopped persuading, stepped forward to help me, and said, "Go slower, if you don't pay attention to your legs, you will fall into trouble in the future." There was some reproach from the doctor to the patient.
This way down, every time I walked, Ah Zi stopped the other four people to stop and rest, thinking that they were here to take care of me, afraid that my legs would not be able to bear it. Although the thin man and the wise man were impatient, they could only mumble on the side with the pressure of the big brother.
By the time the sun was about to set in the west, we came to a relatively flat valley with raised slopes on three sides, which looked like a concave shape. We went in along a forest, and within a hundred paces we saw a large house in front of us, hidden among the trees.
The hall brother said, "You two follow us closely, don't walk around." Hui'er, Jiadong, look after you leave. Qiao Dong, you pull them. The Hui'er and the thin man answered lazily and fell behind us.
I only glanced at it, and I realized that this forest was not simple, it should be some kind of Qimen formation. If outsiders come in rashly, they will definitely fall into the battle without knowing it. The Humpty Dumpty man named Qiao Dong cowered, took two black cloths and blindfolded us, and took my arm and walked forward.
All the way by, turning around, I silently remembered the route I had traveled in my heart, and after walking half the way, I probably figured out the principle of the formation outside. It's a rather complicated maze, although it's not very profound, but it's more than enough to protect this mansion.
After about half an hour, we stopped, and Qiao Dong came up to untie the black cloth for us. I saw that I had already arrived in front of the mansion, and the forest outside, which looked small, had to walk for half an hour.
Looking at it, this mansion is much bigger than the Chen family house in Kangping Town. Listening to these four people, the Qiao family's roots are in Dingzhou, but they have built such a large mansion in the depths of Danguiling in such a remote area, and looking at the color of this exterior wall, it should be a long time. The so-called three caves of the cunning rabbit are supposed to be a back road left by them here. A family can survive in the world for hundreds of years, and naturally it has its own reasons.
All the way in, there were many people living in this house, but most of what I saw should be the guards of the Qiao family and some subordinates. The layout of the courtyard is also very interesting, faintly fitting some of the patterns in the Qimen formation. It seems that this Qiao family is indeed not simple, there should be experts who are proficient in mathematics, and there are many doorways hidden inside and outside this house.
The thin man shouted, "Don't look around me!" ”
The lobby brother kept going, and soon led us to a hall. When we arrived, there were already a lot of people in there. Sitting in the middle of the main hall are two old men with silver hair, dressed in navy blue Tang costumes, although they are old, they are full of spirit, their faces are ruddy, and their eyes are blazing. I think it's the two old ladies of the Qiao family.
On either side of the two of them, there sat two middle-aged men in their fifties, one of whom was tall and majestic, but he had a hooked nose, which made him look a little more cold. As soon as we entered the door, this person's eyes turned several times on me and Ah Zi. The other person was much thinner, and he was not steady, with his legs crossed, holding a bowl of tea, drinking by himself, and even if we came in, he didn't raise his eyelids.
Judging from the appearance of these two people, the hooked nose is the father of the elder brother and Hui'er, and this Erlang leg should be the father of the thin man. Although these two are brothers, their appearance looks quite different.
As soon as the senior brothers and sisters of the Qiao family entered the door, they immediately became a lot more well-behaved, and they all greeted the two old men in the middle, and then greeted the two middle-aged people next to them.
Some are called fathers and second uncles, and some are called uncles and fathers. It seems that my guess was not wrong. This hooked nose should be the uncle of the Qiao family, and Erlang's leg is the second uncle of the Qiao family. I didn't see the legendary third uncle of the Qiao family, and I didn't know where he was hiding and didn't come out.
The hook-nosed man let out a "hmm" and said, "Old Mr. Fang, please come back?" ”
I couldn't help but look at this man again. Ah Zi and I stopped here, and anyone could see that neither of us looked like an old gentleman, but they just asked.
The hall brother hurriedly said, "Mr. Fang has gone out, so we have to invite his apprentice back." I could hear that the lobby brother was nervous in his voice when he replied, and it seemed that his father was very strict with him on weekdays.
