Chapter 42: The Old Neighborhood

Li Laohan breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard the sound of Du Qinshi's piano, looked at his son's eyes that had regained focus, and said while untying his son with red eyes: "Son, Du Qinshi has started to stroke the qin, we have two quarters of an hour to eat and rest, time is limited, hurry up and hurry up." ”

Just after the tie was loosened, there was a knock at the gate, and Li Laohan said tiredly: "Who came to the door at this time?"

Li Xiao's face was pale, his eyes were blue, his ears were red, his lips were purple, his body was cold, and he shivered from time to time. I'm going to wash up, go open the door and see who's coming, it should be your old neighbor who has come to see you. ”

Li Xiao knew that the people who came now were definitely not looking for him, and his connections were not in Jishui County, but in Haikou County, the neighboring county of Youshan County and Jishui County.

Because when he was eleven or twelve years old, he left home with his master to study art in Youshan County, and later served in Haikou County for two years, and was transferred to Jishui County to work in the last two months.

Since the news of their family spread, few people in the family have come to visit the house, Li Xiao knows that his father is very tired from taking care of himself, and he only has these two quarters of an hour of rest, so he wants his father to chat with his friends and live a little more comfortable.

Li Laohan knew his son's personality and didn't want to let himself see his embarrassed appearance, so he wiped his eyes and left his son's bedroom.

Li Xiao looked at his father's back and muttered to himself: "I must hold on, if I fall, it will be my father's turn next." Because my fault has killed Xiuniang, I can't kill my father anymore. I've got to hold on!

Li Laohan stood at the door and listened to his son's self-talk, and his eyes became even redder.

In fact, he really wanted to tell his son that his father was not afraid, and that his father would rather suffer now than him. But he was afraid, saying this, his son was even more uncomfortable, and he was afraid that his son would lose the will to survive.

There is hope in life, Li Laohan knows that his son's current suffering may make him worse than dead, but Li Laohan has a glimmer of hope, hoping to meet strange people and save his son.

"Just like Du Qinshi, he is such a strange man! His piano sound can temporarily suppress that sneaky, since there is a Du Qinshi, then there must be other more powerful strange people who can destroy this sneaky man and save my son!" Li Laohan has always believed in this, persevered, and looked forward to the day when a miracle appeared.

Li Laohan walked to the gate, did not open the door directly, and asked loudly through the gate, "Who?"

"I, Cheng Laohan. ”

"It turned out to be Brother Cheng! I'll open the door for you. ”

As the door of Li Laohan's house slowly opened in a "squeak" and sound, Cheng Laohan complained: "Li Laohan, the door of your house has not been cooked for a long time, and it has begun to squeak......"

Before he finished speaking, he looked at the old man Li who was standing at the door, who was obviously ten years younger than him, but looked ten years older than him.

The other party's hair is completely white, his face is tired, wrinkled, his clothes are sloppy, it seems that he hasn't changed for a long time, and his body is stinky, and he is like two people some time ago.

It's only been a long time since I've seen him! It's only been half a month, isn't it? This sneaky thing is really torturous! Look, what kind of torture has been made of the originally good old man Li?

Alas...... O iniquity!

Because of Cheng Laohan's expression, Li Laohan thought that because no one at home came to visit the house, he had to take care of his son without dismantling, and his image was ......

But this is already the case, Li Laohan can only open the door hard, invite Cheng Laohan to come in, pretend to be nothing, and ask with a smile: "Brother Cheng is in trouble?"

This matter is really not something that can be explained clearly in a sentence or two, and it is not a matter to stand at the gate of the Li family for a long time to speak, Cheng Laohan nodded and said, "There is something, let's go in and talk about it." ”

Li Laohan didn't expect Cheng Laohan to really dare to enter the door of their house, so he closed the door after Cheng Laohan entered, and led Cheng Laohan to sit down in the living room.

Brother Cheng has something to look for him? Brother Cheng doesn't know the situation of his family, what can he do when he comes to his house at this time? Unless, what is the matter he asks for!

Thinking of this, Cheng Laohan had just sat down, and Li Laohan looked excited and couldn't wait to ask, "What is the matter with Brother Cheng?"

Cheng Laohan knew that the other party had guessed, and he also knew that time was limited, Du Qinshi only stroked the piano for two quarters of an hour every day, if Du Qinshi's qin stopped, he didn't dare to stay at Li Laohan's house longer, so he quickly and briefly talked about his intention.

"Brother Li, please ask me to help you pay attention to the strange people who can catch ghosts and eliminate spirits, they have appeared!"

"What, really?" Listening to Cheng Laohan's words, Li Laohan exclaimed excitedly.

Li Xiaodu, who was washing up half of the yard, heard it, and was afraid that something would happen to his father, so he hurriedly washed up and came out, rushed to the door of the living room, and was about to go in, when he heard the person inside say: "This person is a Taoist priest, and now he lives in Jishuiguan." Half a year ago, he began to be haunted, and anyone who stayed overnight in the Taoist temple would be seriously ill, but he was able to live in Jishuiguan for two days without any accidents, so he thought he was a real person. ”

"In addition, some time ago, there was a lot of uproar about the Qi Mansion Zhang Bang catching ghosts, you know, right? That list was uncovered by him! It is said that he entered the Qi Mansion that night and got rid of the sneaky people in the Qi Mansion. ”

Although it was just his family's words, but it was true that there was no more haunting in Qi Mansion later, and it was also true that he was in the carriage of Qi Mansion when he came to Jishui Temple, and the people of Qi Mansion often went in and out of Jishui Temple in the past two days, and it was also true that they were quite respectful to him. ”

"I think this Dao Master should have some real skills, otherwise the Qi Mansion would not treat a person like this. It's just that these are all circumstantial evidence, and there is no empirical evidence, so I'm not completely sure, as for whether to invite him to catch ghosts, it depends on Brother Li's own intentions!"

Cheng Laohan told all the words, without the slightest concealment, nor the slightest exaggeration, not even a proposal, and handed over the decision to Li Laohan, as for Li Laohan's final choice, it was none of his business.

"This is such a thing, Brother Li, I have completed what you asked me to do, whether it is useful or not, I have done my best. This thing is done, you can remember my good son, if this thing doesn't work out, don't blame me. I still have something to do at home, so I won't bother you. Don't send it, you think about it, I'll bring the door to you when I leave. ”

Cheng Laohan finally directly singled out this remark, he was afraid that he would do something bad with good intentions, and in the end, he did not have kindness, but attracted resentment.
