Chapter 19: Lao Jiu (For Me Youyou, Million Leagues Plus Change)
Three days later, in the early morning, at the foot of a deserted mountain, two new mounds were erected, each with a wooden sign. Gu Zuo put on incense, toasted, pulled up Chen Jiu, who was kneeling in front of the grave, and said: "I still say the same sentence, there are a lot of strange things, don't be anxious, I'll inquire first, in short, you calm down and wait for my news." ”
Chen Jiu bowed to Gu Zuo and bowed down again: "Thank you Pavilion Master Gu for coming to worship." After getting up, he said lonely: "My cousin went into the ground, and none of those brothers asked, the world is cold and warm, but that's it." ”
Gu Zuo looked around, there were barren grass and withered vines, and there was not even a path for the mountain people to walk nearby, and sighed: "I was buried here......"
Chen Jiu said sadly: "Good places are all owner's land, and other families are not allowed to move in, it would be good if our brother bought a piece of land, but my cousin said that what he did in this life is to lick the blood with a knife, and now the government uses us, everyone is fine, one day it will not be used, the land bought is a burden, it is better to take the money with you and leave at any time." ”
He pointed to a hole in the mountain wall next to him: "Actually, even here seems to be someone, I saw the embers at the entrance of the cave when digging the grave yesterday, I was afraid that he would disturb my cousin and Brother Jiang Qi, so I put two hangs of money at the entrance of the cave." When I saw it just now, the money was gone, maybe people took care of it after receiving it, and it is unknown if they changed places. ”
After separation, Gu Zuo went to the county office, today is the day to pay the monk's salary for the fast shift, originally this consistent salary was handed in by Chen Liu, but now he can only go by himself.
After all, it was a monk, Xing Cao did not "drift" their hard-earned money, and distributed it consistently, and with this money, Gu Zuo went straight to Daiyue Pavilion.
Wei Changqiu enthusiastically introduced Gu Zuo into the flower hall to serve tea, and there was nothing unusual on his face. Gu Zuo offered to buy a spirit stone, and he readily agreed.
After getting the spirit stone, Gu Zuo said tentatively: "The tanuki I found before, Wei's senior friend didn't say anything, right?"
Wei Changqiu smiled: "What can you say, only gratitude!"
Gu Zuo thought about the wording and said, "That's good." It's just that I heard that the He family was looking for their lost cat before, and the younger generation was afraid that it would be wrong...... It's good that there are no problems. ”
Wei Changqiu said: "I also heard about the He family's search for cats, and it has nothing to do with my friend, my friend is from Wuzhou, and the cat was brought by him from Wuzhou. ”
Gu Zuo joked: "I don't know who the senior's friend is? But there are still lost items? The younger generation is still willing to work and earn some hard-earned money, and the family is almost unable to open the pot." ”
Wei Changqiu smiled at Gu Zuo: "How can there be so many lost?" Hehe, I know that it is not easy for you to make money in the hall, if I have any livelihood here, I will remember Gu Xian's nephew." My friend now lives in Wuzhou, he is a casual cultivator, and he hasn't opened a museum, and he makes some money by himself, and he is young, but he is only thirty-six years old, and he is a friend of the year, ...... older than Gu Xian's nephew."
"Twelve years old. ”
"Well, if I have time in the future, I can introduce you to him, he still has a wide range of ways. ”
"Then thank you seniors. ”
said goodbye to Wei Changqiu and went out, and bumped into Wei Ji who came back from going out, Wei Ji pulled Gu Zuo and said: "Why is Huaixian here, I just came back from outside, and I am not at home, so it is very rude." ”
Gu Zuo said that he came to buy the spirit stone, and Wei Ji pulled him and said, "Did you buy it?"
"Senior Wei has already sold it to me. ”
"That's good. By the way, Huaixian, do you know Chen Jiu? He is Chen Liu's cousin. ”
"Acquaintance, how?"
"You go and persuade him, and now he is making trouble with the Sifang Alley...... I don't know where I went to eat, I was full of alcohol, and I was making a lot of noise at the door of Ji's house, saying that Ji Bantou owed his cousin two yuan and that he wanted to get the debt back. You say that this foolish person, even if he really owes money, can he make such a fuss? That's Ji Bantou, and he has no evidence, and he doesn't even have an IOU! I went up to persuade for a long time to no avail, and I didn't want to care about this idle matter at first, but Huaixian used to be familiar with Lao Liu, if you go to persuade him, maybe Chen Jiu can listen to you. ”
Gu Zuo was very helpless, and when he first parted in the morning, he told Chen Jiu to calm down, but he didn't expect to run to make trouble in a blink of an eye, this person is really a mistake in drinking!
followed Wei Ji to Sifang Lane, but the excitement had already dispersed, Wei Ji inquired, saying that Ji Bantou invited Chen Jiu into the house, and he didn't know what he said, Chen Jiu came out with a burden on his back, and after coming out, he didn't say a word, and hurriedly walked away along the street.
Wei Ji was puzzled: "Ji Bantou really owes Chen Liuqian ?, Chen Jiu really got it?"
The neighbor smiled and said, "It must be yes, the burden is heavy, not what is the money?"
Wei Ji stomped his feet: "This Chen Jiu, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future, is it worth offending Ji Bantou for these two money?"
Seeing that things had subsided, Gu Zuo said goodbye to the enthusiastic Wei Ji and returned to Xiaogushan. As soon as he entered the house, he saw a note left on the table, there were no words on the note, but a crooked graffiti, Gu Zuo carefully identified it for a long time before he understood that the painting was two grave bags.
There is also a semicircle above the graffiti, and there are many small dots around it, and after thinking hard, Gu Zuo confirmed that the note must have been left by Chen Jiu, most of whom he was illiterate, and wanted to ask Gu Zuo to meet in front of Chen Liu and Jiang Qi's graves after the moon rose in the evening.
Facing the bright moon hanging high, Gu Zuo got off the small lonely mountain, walked more than two miles west along Ruoye Creek, turned north into a hill, walked for half an hour, and entered a mountain pass, where the new graves of Chen Liu and Jiang Qi stood at the mouth of the pass.
There was a fire in front of the grave, Chen Jiu got up next to the fire, and hugged his fist to Gu Zuo: "Gu Pavilion Master." ”
Gu Zuo walked up to him and sat down, and asked, "Ji Bantou really owes your sixth brother money?"
Chen Jiu shook his head: "I owe it or not, I don't know, I also made up the number of two runs, but I asked for it, but he gave it." ”
Gu Zuo thought about it, adding new firewood to the fire, the branches crackled and burst in the fire, and Chen Jiu accentuated his tone: "He has a ghost in his heart!"
Gu Zuo nodded, thought about it again, and said, "I went to the Daiyue Pavilion today, and Ji Bantou gave your sixth brother's cat......"
He cultivated the "Spirit Search Technique" for two months, absorbed twelve spirit stones, and completely consolidated in the initial realm of Qi Refiners, and the Spirit Search True Qi surrounded his body, although he did not use the method of chasing the camera, but he was extremely sensitive to the surroundings.
As soon as the words began, I intuitively felt that something was wrong, and there seemed to be an aura invasion in the sea of qi.
Quietly picked up the horn sharp knife that had been practicing hard this month at his fingertips, and gestured at Chen Jiu, Chen Jiu also pulled out the waist knife, and the two slowly got up and turned behind them.
A figure jumped down from the tree and walked towards the two, saying as he walked: "I'm still thinking, who is supporting Lao Jiu? It turned out to be Gu Zuo, hehe, it's out!"
