Chapter 1002: Love
The first night passed like this, except that Chen Chong's snoring was more shocking, there was nothing special.
"Wow!!"
Before the sky was bright, I was woken up in the fog, and the whole person was still in a state of blindfolding. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Chen Chong's enlarged face, staring at me tightly.
“...... Why?"
I wasn't so angry that I fell asleep in the middle of the night because of his snoring, and it would wake me up at what time, so it's no wonder that Lao Tzu would have a good temper.
Chen Chong didn't react when he saw that my face was not good, but stretched out the palm of his right hand and spread it upward, and I reflexively leaned up, and saw two insects, one white and one red, in his hands.
I was startled, and subconsciously wanted to step back, and even put my hand shaking on the talisman seal I was carrying.
I didn't know that Chen Chong signaled that it was okay, and stretched out his hand in front of me again, and his left hand kept pointing. I looked over again suspiciously, only to realize that the two insects were gradually drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a matter of seconds, they became dry goods.
"Gu worms?"
I looked up and saw him nodding, and I had a little bit of a count in my heart.
From the time I entered this village to the present, I have been plotted three times and twice, but the other party has not been able to succeed because of Chen Chong's presence.
No matter what Chen Yongtai did to this guy, at least I was the one who profited, and it was also true that some people in the village were eager to attack me.
The question is, who is that man and what is the reason for killing me.
I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I simply put it aside and went to the courtyard with Chen Chong for breakfast. Chen Ming and Chen Yongtai lived diagonally opposite us, and at this time, the two of them were already touching their round bellies and leaning comfortably on the back of the chair waiting for dawn.
There is a row of snacks neatly placed on the table, steamed buns, siu mai, millet porridge, etc., as well as four side dishes, and the dishes are not necessarily worse than those in the city.
In particular, the fragrance wafted through the air, causing my stomach to "gurgle".
Seeing the two of us coming out, the two paralyzed goods didn't react, and Chen Ming, the kid, even opened his mouth to burp, which showed that he had eaten a lot.
He and Chen Yongtai are both one person in one room, from the mental outlook is a good rest, I glanced at Chen Chong, who had already grabbed chopsticks with shiny eyes, and also chose a seat to sit down and plan to eat a full meal.
At this time, the sun is slowly rising from the top of the mountain, illuminating the courtyard in red and bright, looking a little bit of the charm of the previous dynasty. Xu is because of the atmosphere, Chen Yongtai rarely opened his mouth to tell us a few things about this village, although it is not the point, but I still listened carefully.
These courtyards are all made of bricks and tiles, in this backward place is already a large family to live, I heard that Chen Yongtai's courtyard is still specially built for guests from afar, he has not seen it when he came before.
"Uncle Yongtai used to come here often?" I tentatively spoke, and the speed at which I picked up the pickles in my hand was not slow at all.
Chen Yongtai looked at me and didn't answer, just sighed There has been no big change here, just like time has stopped here for a while, and it feels good to stay in the city for a long time and come to the mountains once in a while.
Chen Ming smiled and agreed, and talked to his master for the first time.
This subtle change surprised me a little, and with a glance of my eyes, I found that even Chen Yongtai himself was stunned for a moment, presumably because he didn't expect his little nephew to take care of him.
I interject two sentences from time to time, all of which are related to Chen Yongtai without exception.
The old man was probably impatient with me, grabbed the bun in front of him and threw it directly at me, "Stinky boy, what do you want to ask! Don't go around in circles with me!"
"Hehe, isn't it that you don't want to be with me, so did you come here often? The people here are all from Miaojiang, right?"
I threw out two questions one after another, and I was so angry that Chen Yongtai's beard was about to blow off.
"Yes, Lao Tzu used to come often. Most of the people in the village are indeed from Miao Jiang, do you have anything else you want to ask?
The old man's eyes widened, and he was really angry when he looked at it. Chen Chong also stopped his chopsticks at this time and looked at me disapprovingly.
However, I still have to ask what I should ask, and it is my life.
"Hua Gu is the woman that Uncle Shi fell in love with back then, right? Most of you are from Miao Jiang, so what about some of them? I think Uncle Shi should know that someone wants to play Gu for me, otherwise he wouldn't deliberately let Chen Chong sleep in the same room with me, it's just that Uncle Shi has a clue about this Gu person?"
My voice was not loud, and I was a little slurred as I ate.
Chen Chong was very angry, holding the big bowl in one hand and pouring porridge into his mouth, and with the other hand, he took out the two Gu worms from his pocket.
“...... What about your suspicions?"
Chen Yongtai furrowed his eyebrows and pursed his lips to ask me. And Chen Ming had already sat up straight at this time, and his face was not very good.
I smiled, wiped my mouth and said, "You raised a little ghost in the imperial city, and then attacked me, and now you are still obsessed with playing tricks on me...... Uncle Yongtai, who has a long-standing grudge with the Zhang family, or has a grudge with the four major families?"
"It's not going to be her!!!
As soon as the words fell, Chen Yongtai denied it cleanly, and he and I knew who it was, and now I finally let me know that this uncle really had no feelings for the woman.
Old Chen, Old Chen, do you know how much trouble you threw at me......
I shook my head helplessly, and added another sum to Chen Lao in my heart, I have to get it back when I go back.
"Are you, someone secretly gave you Gu, and it's the same person who raised the little ghost?" Chen Ming thought for a while, asked me seriously, and seeing that I nodded in affirmation, he directly opened his mouth to interrogate the people in the village who were good at Gu poison and raising little ghosts.
However, this proposal was immediately rejected by Chen Yongtai because it was too blunt.
For a while, our discussions reached an impasse again. I asked him, since he wasn't going to ask them one by one, how was he going to find the man who raised the little ghosts?
He asked me why the person I was looking for was from the village.
I was speechless for a moment, explaining why I was so desperate to die if not.
"I know that you originally only planned to use the help of the people here, but now it is obvious that the people in the village did it, and do you also know the place where the other Miao Jiang people gathered? Besides, since your Yulan Peak is listed as an invisible forbidden area, not only the world does not know, but most cultivators do not know either. ”
"So, how did the Miao Jiang people who live in the middle of the mountain come in?"
I clenched on, trying to force Chen Yongtai to let go, but the old man didn't want anything but slowly shaking his head and sighing.
Chen Ming and I glanced at each other, but we didn't expect that we would be at an impasse on the first day we came.
"When you're done eating, come out and help out. ”
Just when a few of us were silent, Hua Gu knocked on the door and walked in, with a cold face and ready to catch the strong man.
We young people looked at Chen Yongtai with bricks together, and saw that the fat old man who was still drooping his head suddenly came to his senses at this moment, and beckoned a few of us to go out to work with a smile.
Of course, Chen Chong and I are still inseparable.
Hua Gu's labor is to cut down trees.
She took us to the back mountain, where there were already a dozen young people standing, but out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere.
There were twelve big men in all, but they stood on the left and right, and one of the seven men on the left was the one who had been waiting for us into the village yesterday, and when he saw us, he nodded, but his expression was a little stiff.
The five on the right were thinner and less neatly dressed, and their clothes were patched, and the wind was strong in the mountains, and they were huddled together when they blew.
"Ah Chong, you take your two younger brothers and Xiao Guang in a group, prepare to prepare, and enter the mountain in a while. ”
Hua Gu's flat tone commanded Chen Chong, and he was very familiar with it. The mute man looked at Chen Yongtai and saw that he didn't object, so he nodded and pulled my shoulder to the right.
The man called Xiao Guang took a few steps forward and nodded at us, which was regarded as a greeting, and then divided two worn-out machetes for us and returned to the middle of the five, which seemed to be a little out of place with Chen Chong.
"Hehe, Aunt Hua, my business...... What do you think?"
Chen Yongtai spoke cautiously behind me, his light voice as if he was talking to a lover. And Hua Gu also changed her cold and hard tone before, and eased down a little, and her face was also a little dizzy.
flirting and scolding, I can't bear to look at this picture.
It's a pity that I was dragged away by Chen Chong, and I couldn't hear the words of the flower girl behind, probably Chen Yongtai asked her for help.
The mountain behind is secluded, and the bright and warm sunlight is blocked by trees of different heights, and I sneezed when I entered the perimeter.
A single piece of clothing is not warm.
I rubbed my nose and glanced at the guys who still had patches on their bodies, their lips were white and they looked cold.
Rubbing my arms, I followed Chen Chong in front.
The group of fourteen people was very quiet, and none of them spoke, Rao is I want to get some relationships closer, and I almost can't do it.
So I had to sigh silently, carrying the machete forward, the skin on my shoulders was worn out by the rough wooden handle through the clothes, and the friction of a pair of pairs was hot and painful.
"Hiss......"
I couldn't help but gasp, and was about to switch shoulders to carry the machete, but the people walking in front suddenly stopped, causing Chen Chong to brake suddenly, and I crashed into it without paying attention, and I was immediately dizzy.
"Who is so injured!!I don't know if I can't go back to the mountain with an injury!"
The voice I heard only yesterday sounded in front of me, and Chen Chong looked back at me with a frown and nodded on my shoulder.
"It's me!" I stepped forward, a little helpless, and no one had ever been injured with me and couldn't go into the back mountain. Besides, I didn't know that I would enter the mountain today, let alone that my injury was just grinded out.
The man who led us into the village strode towards me, with a dark face and an extremely serious face, "Why didn't you listen to Uncle Yongtai...... Well, it's not you, who else!"
The man grabbed my frayed arm and lifted my sleeve, but when he saw my wound, his tone changed and he pushed me away towards the back of the line.
I looked inexplicable, and when I went to see Chen Chong, he shook his head and spread his hands, and he didn't know what was going on.
Instead, Chen Ming came up and hooked my shoulder, "There's a good show to watch." ”
