Chapter 375: Go up the mountain to find the old man
I thought the kids were gone, but they weren't.
Because Li Zhou's situation was not optimistic, his friends were all guarding outside, even if the wind was a little strong at dawn, making them shiver with cold.
Not surprisingly, Uncle Tian and Uncle Zhao were also waiting outside, and of course Li Zhou's grandmother.
As soon as my grandmother saw me coming out, she immediately reached out and grabbed me.
"The other babies have come out, why are my babies still inside? Did something happen to him? But don't let anything happen, his parents handed him over to me, hoping that he would thrive, but if something happened to my baby and he died at my hands, I didn't know how to explain it to his parents. Not to mention explaining to Wan'er's grandfather! ”
The more my grandmother spoke, the more excited she became, and she knelt down towards me while crying.
"Master, I beg you, if you really want to fill in your life, then take my old life! I don't know who my baby has offended, my miserable baby! Woowoo woo ......"
The last thing I can see in my life is that a woman crying in front of me, especially this kind of old and weathered grandmother.
I didn't know what to do for a moment, so I just reached out and helped her up, and gently patted her back with my hand to comfort her.
"It's okay, it's okay, I just came out to discuss a problem with Uncle Tian and Uncle Zhao, grandma, you wait on the side for a while, and when I'm done here, I'll hand Li Zhou back into your hands." As I spoke, I helped my grandmother to sit down on the side.
Grandma was still emotionally unstable, and she cried so much that she almost fainted.
Luckily, there was a village doctor here, and he was afraid that something would happen to the children in the middle of the night, so he stayed here all night.
I was relieved that my grandmother handed it over to him, and I walked quickly to Uncle Tian and Uncle Zhao, who were guarding on the side.
"How is Xiaojie?" Uncle Tian looked at me and frowned.
I guess from the time I walked in his direction, he already knew that this matter was not easy to solve.
"Now Li Zhou's situation is not optimistic, the marks on his body have not only not been removed, but are becoming more and more profound. I don't know what to do now, I haven't been in this situation before, so I want to ask you if you have heard of a gentleman in the village, or if there is some hidden master that we can visit? ”
Before I could answer my question, I added, "Also, I want to ask the old man if you know where he is?" If there is really no one who can help us, I guess I can go to that old man and get some ways to help Li Zhou remove the mark on his heart. ”
Uncle Tian and Uncle Zhao looked at each other, this is also what I expected, they are just ordinary farmers, just thinking about how to make money every day to have enough food for the family, they are busy enough.
I guess they don't have much time to hear about the legends or gossip in it, so it's understandable that they don't know.
"The old man you mentioned, I know where he lives." Tian Ke suddenly ran over from a distance.
He seemed to be worried about Li Zhou's situation all the time, and although he was still young, he had always been on the sidelines to observe our every move and listen to what we said.
"Brother Xiaojie, I'll take you over. The old man seemed to be going to the river to fish in the afternoon, and it was too late to see him at his house if he had passed. Tian Ke said as he pulled my sleeve and walked out.
He looked particularly anxious, and his father, Uncle Tian, had already restrained him.
At this time, Tian Keju's eyes were red, and his eyes were already full of tears: "Brother Xiaojie, hurry up!" I'm afraid that Li Zhou will die, he is a very good friend of mine, I can't live without him. ”
Seeing his anxious look, I nodded.
Just as we were about to go out, Li Zhou's grandmother suddenly stopped us.
"Xiaojie." Li Zhou's grandmother stopped me and pulled me aside: "This has not happened in our village recently, so I don't know very well, but there were children forty years ago who died because of the imprints.
Later, there was also a gentleman who helped solve it, and later I heard from that gentleman that only when he found the person who laid out the formation could there be a way to solve it.
You guys go to that old gentleman, is it really useful? ”
I could tell that my grandmother was actually in a hurry, after all, it was his only grandson.
In fact, I don't know if it is really useful to find the old gentleman, but the mark on Li Zhou's body was left to him by the old gentleman, so it proves that this formation can be regarded as the old gentleman's help to lay it.
If you follow what grandma said, then finding the old man should also be able to solve Li Zhou's matter.
"Don't worry, grandma, I'll tell Dong Jing what you said. Let her help find the person who laid out the formation, and I will go to the old man to see what is going on in between. Anyway, I have to find this old man. He also helped lay out the formation, and he should be able to solve anything too. ”
I can't explain it anymore, I just do what I want.
After telling Dong Jing about the incident, she promised to help search for the soul while taking care of Li Zhou.
Fortunately, Li Zhou has that mark on his body, and it is not so difficult to search for souls.
After arranging these things, I was taken up the mountain by Tian Ke to find the old man who lived in a cabin in the mountains.
But strange to say, the sun was shining at the beginning today, but when we walked out of the village and went up the mountain, the sky was already full of clouds.
Tian Ke told me that the place where the old gentleman lived was in a small wooden house in the mountains, and the old gentleman was not from this village.
I don't know when he moved here, and he was the only one when he came.
We walked all the way up the mountain, and within half an hour of walking, I saw the wooden house in the mountain.
There was smoke curling from the inside of the wooden house, and I was relieved to see this.
There should be smoke from cooking in the hut, so the old man should still be inside.
When I got to the door of the hut, I saw no one.
I knocked on the door and still no one paid attention, so I pushed the door straight in.
The scene in front of me really scared me, and I saw the old man lying on the ground, his body already covered with maggots.
He should have been dead for more than a day or two, but Tian Ke and a few of their friends had seen the old man pass by the river the afternoon before yesterday and rescued them all.
