Chapter Ninety-Two: The Captain
After noon, the flowing stream washed the pots and pans, put them back on the shelves behind the old donkey, and the water stains dripped along the ground with the donkey's hooves.
After eating the pot of 'Dragon and Phoenix Tonic Soup' in Sun Yingxian's lane, the group continued to move forward from the path turned by the official road in the west of the capital, the road extended, the forest was in pieces, but it was not remote, over a forest, you could see a lot of fields, and you could see a lot of scattered villages in the distance.
Before setting off, Lu Liangsheng compared the direction and road on the map, and the haunted village was also in the northwest, ready to help Wang Tianshi's hometown get rid of the evil ghosts.
After that, speed up the pace and rush to Heliangzhou in the northwest, which is in time.
It is more than 100 miles away from the capital Tianzhi, and the life of the nearby villages is not too barren, and the acres of Wangjiazhuang fields stretch together, extending around Zhuangzi to the foot of the mountain in the north.
There is also a big river ten zhang wide in the west, Lu Liangsheng and others came from the mud road outside the village to the riverbank, the reeds on both sides of the bank are thick, it is autumn again, a gray and yellow color ripples in the wind, reflecting the autumn day in the afternoon, the water surface is sparkling, making people feel refreshed and happy.
"There is a big river in the west, a mountain nearby, and a forest in the south to block the wind, the land is fertile, and the scenery is also good, how can you be willing to run outside?"
The scholar led the old donkey's eyes down the river, and when the wind blew, the robes and hair bathed in the dusk were caressed in the wind.
"Little one, I don't want to. ”
Along the way, Wang Tianshi also opened his eyes, walked more than 100 miles in a few hours, and returned to the village to boast for a lifetime.
Looking at the scholar's back, he quickly shook his head, shook off his thoughts, and replied:
“...... Lu Gongzi, who is not afraid of this haunting, the little one has seen it once, ouch, I was so scared that I was sick in bed for a few days, and I felt that my body was as uncomfortable as being soaked in water, and my body was weak, so I couldn't do farm work, so I could only go out to find something to eat. ”
The remnant sun shone on the scholar, and the delicate side face was deflected to the back.
"Well, did that evil ghost hurt anyone, and where did it haunt?"
"I don't think I ..... hurt anyone."
Wang Tianshi thought about it, as if he had never heard of anyone dead, and he pointed to the direction of going farther to the riverbank.
"Just down the river, there was a ferry, where I met last time, and I looked at it from afar, and I panicked. ”
"Well, exorcism is what Daoist Sun is good at. ”
Lu Liangsheng nodded ponderingly, and looked at the back, "Old Sun?"
Next to the old donkey in the back, where is the figure of Sun Yingxian, the toad Taoist in the bookshelf compartment, sitting on the side, with a rope tied around his waist, he pointed to the river.
"Catch the fish. ”
The scholar looked over, and saw a fiery figure running a few steps along the river, looking for the mouth of the beach with few reeds, and he didn't know what he was doing, so he took a brush and scribbled in the palm of his hand, and then pushed it into the river.
Just listen, there were several loud bangs one after another, the river exploded, several water columns rushed up, and countless bead curtains poured out to reflect the red glow.
"Lao Lu, help!" Sun Yingxian shouted.
Between the splashes that rushed into the sky and pressed down, there were still river fish falling, Lu Liangsheng pinched out his fingers and poked out his cuffs, looking forward and brushing them away.
In Wang Tianshi's wide eyes, more than 20 fish that fell from the sky turned around in mid-air, flew towards the river bank, and landed around the scholar's feet.
The fifteenth chapter of "Nanshui Collection".
"Xiling has a monk will be a skill, not five ghosts fortune, Xiling County Ya stolen, hundreds of taels of silver were stolen, and the people who beat the watch saw the silver floating in the air and flew into the distance. The yazhong was arrested, and the city soldiers surrounded and suppressed, and finally the thieves were arrested. ”
.......
Wang Tianshi opened his mouth for a long time before he came back to his senses, closed his mouth, hurriedly took off his shabby coat, and put a dozen or so fish on the ground with their tails snapping in their clothes.
"The autumn fish is fat and tender, and Sun Daochang really knows the delicious food of the mountains and wilderness. ”
Below, Sun Yingxian stepped one step at a time, jumped up lightly, picked up two of them in his hand, and raised them in front of the scholar.
But it was snatched by Lu Liangsheng, and said with a smile:
"It's not early in the day, so I can't say that I have to spend the night in this village, so I can't go there empty-handed, right?"
"Hey, borrow flowers to offer Buddha, but this 'flower' is from this way. ”
When the Taoist followed the side and shouted with a gesture, many villagers were already standing on the mud road outside the village, and they probably heard a few loud noises and rushed over, and saw Lu Liangsheng and a few people going down the riverbank, and they all clenched the farm tools in their hands.
"Who are you, what are you doing here?!"
Suddenly a few strangers appeared, and there was a loud noise, so they had to be on guard, Wang Tianshi ran over with the fish in his pocket, and shouted at them at the top of his voice.
"I'm Tian Shi, don't you recognize me?!"
A group of villagers holding hoes and poles laughed as they looked at the approaching figures.
"Wang Shishi, didn't you go outside, why did you come back?" "It's only been a few months since you came back, did you earn any money?" "Yes, Widow Li is still waiting for you to marry her!"
Most of the villagers who laugh are like this, outsiders may feel a little cynical when they hear it, but Wang Tianshi, who is familiar with this place, is not angry, and straightens his chest in front of everyone.
"Hey, didn't I come here thinking about the affairs of the village, the city is good to eat and live, and I have a lot of money every month. ”
Wang Tianshi stretched out his foot, and his toes stared at the toe of his shoe.
"See, the Zhang family's tailor shop in the city does it, this work is better than Master Wang at the head of our village, right?"
After showing off, the people of the opposite village were not easy to speak, and at this time, the crowd parted, and an old man squeezed out, and the tail of the cane paused on the ground.
"And what are you doing when you come back?"
"It's not a matter of haunting in the village..... ....."
When Wang Tianshi saw the old man, he became honest, stood up straight, and pointed to the scholar and Taoist who were leading the old donkey behind.
"Dad..... this is the ...... I found to exorcise ghosts in the village."
"Let's talk about ghosts, where did ghosts come from in the village!" The old man raised his cane and knocked it over, Wang Tianshi didn't dare to fight back, and he suffered a few times, and the old man was a little deflated, so he turned his head to look at the scholar and Taoist priest over there, a bald old donkey, carrying two bookshelves, the scholar's robe with a white background and light apricot patterns, his face was delicate and handsome, and he was nodding at him with a smile.
As for the Taoist priest on the side, the Taoist robe is brand new, but the bun is a little messy, with a mustache and a short beard, not very much like a good person.
"There is no haunting in our village, but the two of you are guests from afar, and it is not too early, so let's come to my house together. ”
Lu Liangsheng and the Taoist glanced at each other, and then looked at Wang Tianshi.
I was a little confused.
"Let's take a look at the advanced village. ”
The scholar whispered, that is, he walked into the village with the old man, and the surrounding villagers also dispersed one by one, and after thinking about it, he came to the old man's house, the house was not too big, and there was a small courtyard at the door, and a peach tree was planted in the corner.
Inside, the pale blue flame slowly lit on the oil lamp.
The old man shook off the spark on the fire fold, put it aside, and asked Wang Tianshi to put the fish in the water tank outside, and then turned around and invited Lu Liangsheng and the Taoist to sit down.
He turned around and went to get the clay pot and poured two bowls of cold water.
"You two haven't eaten yet, have you? The old man is going to cook some and make do with it. ”
"Okay, thank you, old man. ”
Lu Liangsheng arched his hand and said a word, looked at Wang Tianshi, who was stirring the water tank in the courtyard, turned his head, and asked:
"Old man, are there any ghosts in this village?"
In front of the stove, the light of the fire shone on the old man's face, and he was silent for a while.
"Some ..... is a captain. ”
His voice was low and hoarse.
