"Girl, are you waiting?"

A simple and simple voice came from the path in front of the house.

Chu Qing looked for a voice, and in the glow of the sunset, an old man walked over to this side step by step. Because the path was steep, the man straightened up and rested for a few moments every few steps. Because of the backlight, he only saw a black shadow, but his face was not clear.

When the man slowly approached, Chu Qing saw clearly that this person was none other than the old man who dissuaded Feng Shuzhu from severely punishing Yi Dingjia when he was outside the village.

After careful inspection, I found that this person was about fifty or sixty years old, and he was born with a pair of mouse eyes, and he looked at the gods of the world but was a little cunning. Chu Qing knew in her heart that this person was here to inquire about the news, so she couldn't help but let out a light "um" and waited for the following.

The old man walked into the small courtyard with difficulty, panting and came to the wooden pier in front of the house, sat down slowly, did not speak at first, but looked Chu Qing up and down, and then turned his head to look at the grass house twice, and then said gently: "It seems that the girl's two companions have gone up the mountain." ”

Chu Qing secretly said in his heart that this person really asked a little knowingly, he was already a little anxious because he was waiting for Brother Feng, and he came here to ask questions again, which really made him even more unhappy, but it was not easy to turn his face, so he replied indifferently: "Yes, Brother Feng, they went up the mountain early." ”

When the old man heard this, he pondered for a long time before he said, "That girl, why did you stay?" After speaking, a pair of rat-eyed thieves were turning around a few times.

How could Chu Qing have the heart to think about it, and only said: "Isn't this just for someone waiting for you, if I'm not there, who do you ask!"

The old man made a sudden appearance, said "oh", and said: "It seems that you are indeed careful people, thank you here." Saying that, he raised his hand to Chu Qing, and seeing that Chu Qing didn't pay attention to it, the old man said again: "I heard that the sword fairy can fly to the sky, I don't know what kind of magic the girl has?"

Chu Qing turned his face sideways, and did not look at the old man carefully, but mistakenly thought that the old man was afraid of encountering a liar again, and wanted to see his true ability. But at this time, how could he have such a heart to show off his skills, so he blinked a pair of big watery eyes and said, "Have you heard that sword immortals can scatter beans into soldiers and turn stones into gold?"

After hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up, and he said curiously: "The girl can turn stones into gold?"

Seeing Qian in this way is really annoying, but Chu Qing changed his face to a smile, and his language was a little more playful, and said, "Then do you want to watch it?"

When the old man heard this, he seemed to be interested, and with a "whoosh", he stood up flexibly from the wooden pier, such a clean and neat method, it was really difficult for people to associate it with the appearance of an old dragon clock when he came to this time.

Seeing this, Chu Qing thought about it, and said with a smile: "Uncle, but I don't know if you want to turn that stone into gold?"

When the old man heard this, he squinted his eyes happily, looked around the courtyard, chose the largest rock, stretched out his hand and said, "That's it...... That's it, that's it. After speaking, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he seemed to see a shining mountain of gold in front of him

, and rubbed his palms from time to time, as if he was a little anxious to wait.

Chu Qing snorted lightly disdainfully, raised his voice a few degrees, and deliberately said in a loud voice: "Uncle, don't blink, you have to watch it!" After finishing speaking, he raised his hand, turned his fingers around and turned into a circle of light, and hit straight towards the mountain rock.

"Boom",

The rocks exploded in response, the large and small stones scattered and gathered into a pile, and some of the debris of the rocks that flew up smashed into the windows and doors like rain, and there was a chaotic sound of "crackling".

On the other hand, Finger Wrapping Rou turned into a circle of light from the pile of rocks and flew back to Chu Qing's wrist.

The old man was obviously shocked by such an ability, looked at the pile of rubble in surprise, then looked at Chu Qing, and said in a trembling voice: "Oh, this is really a legendary flying sword, which can take the enemy's head thousands of miles away." ”

When Chu Qing heard this, his face was extremely proud, and he didn't pay any attention to the old man's praise, but just glanced at him, with a rare and strange look of disdain.

The old man looked at the pile of rubble, turned his head and lifted his eyelids, looked at Chu Qing, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "I don't know girl, what other tricks are there?"

Seeing that the other party was so envious, Chu Qing also became a little interested, and said, "What else do you want to see?"

The old man hesitated for a while, and said, "I don't know girl, can you see the past and predict the future?"

Chu Qing suddenly felt that the old man in front of him was quite strange, and he didn't ask about how to subdue the female ghost, but instead inquired about himself, and secretly said in his heart, "I want to see what kind of medicine you sell in the gourd!" ”

The old man pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "I want to ask the girl, is there any woman younger than the old man in this vicinity, within a radius of a hundred miles......

Before the old man finished speaking, Chu Qing suddenly remembered the paragraph in Yi Dingjia's little book that "the old man of fifty or sixty asked the girl", so he rolled his eyes, cleared his throat, and interrupted: "Uncle, do you have a sick wife at home?"

When the old man heard this, he looked very surprised, looked at Chu Qing with a magical gaze, and said, "Oh, girl, you look so young, you didn't expect to have so many strange arts. ”

Chu Qing was not funny in her heart, and secretly thought that this Yi Dingjia's trick of deceiving people was so effective, so she couldn't help but laugh, and said: "I not only know that you have a sick wife at home, but also know that you intend to break the string and continue." ”

The old man was heartbroken by Chu Qing's words, and he was even more convinced of the young woman's ability in front of him, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know, does the old man still have this Yanfu......

Chu Qing thought to herself, don't look at your peaceful words, you look like a Qiao in front of people, and secretly you are also a person who likes the new and hates the old, the old wife on the sickbed has not yet died, but you are here to get up at dusk. Thinking so much in his heart, he inadvertently saw the red belt in the placket of the old man's clothes, and his mind turned, pretending to pinch his fingers and calculate, and then said: "Uncle, you are the year of your life this year, the so-called Tai Sui is the head, and the passing year is not good, don't say that the string is broken and continued, if you don't treat the people on the sick bed well, I am afraid that it will damage the virtue and lose the longevity." ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately panicked,

Hurriedly said: "What should I do?"

Chu Qing thought of the saying "first thousand and then long" contained in Yi Dingjia's small book.

Then he cleared his throat and said, "If you spend all your wealth to find a good doctor for the sick man, continue his life, and accumulate wealth, you will surely be blessed in the future." ”

When the old man heard this, after thinking about it, he hesitated for a while, his eyes were embarrassed, and he said: "Girl, I can't hide it, in Langzhong in these ten miles and eight villages, the old man has invited all over again, and he has spent a lot of silver and two taels, not to mention, but the decoction prescribed is like water pouring stones, and it has no effect. ”

Chu Qing thought to herself, if this is the case, you still came to tell the fortune earlier, you must have hidden evil in your heart, and said: "You might as well tell the old man that the little girl is proficient in medical science and has a recipe for resurrection." ”

When the old man heard this, he was stunned at first, and then turned a pair of mouse eyes again and again, very hesitant, and kept silent, but he seemed to be in a dilemma.

After this attempt, Chu Qing already knew that this old man had brilliant words, but he was by no means a kind person in his heart, and his sick wife was there, so he didn't seek medical treatment everywhere, but came to tell fortunes and ask for divination, thinking about remarrying. After thinking about it, he said: "Uncle, the so-called wretched wife doesn't go to court, if everyone thinks like you, wouldn't it be in vain to kill many women?"

The old man listened, nodded, and said: "What is like elsewhere, the old man doesn't know, but our Hao family, the head of each family, it is normal to marry three wives and four concubines." ”

Chu Qing was quite surprised, and said, "In such a remote place, why is it so popular in marrying a wife here, and it doesn't cost money?"

When the old man heard this, he smiled, and said: "The girl doesn't know, it is precisely because of the poverty here that it costs very little to marry a wife, and many families can't afford to raise their daughters, so they sell it early, compared to the cost of curing the disease and taking medicine......

Chu Qing didn't wait to finish listening, she was already very angry, she was already a daughter, and the woman here was indignant, and said angrily: "No matter how cheap it is, it is also a fresh life, just because you are sick, you will not be treated, and you can't wait for death?"

When the old man heard this, he lifted his eyelids, looked at Chu Qing, who was full of anger, and slowly took out the dry tobacco bag from the back, filled a bag of dry tobacco without hurry, and then lit it, took a slow breath, and then spit out a smoke ring, and then said: "Every family is like this, why blame the old man." ”

When Chu Qing heard this, she was even more angry and said: "I really don't know, you are so old, what kind of wife do you marry, shouldn't you live in peace and live in peace?"

The old man took another puff of cigarette, put down the cigarette pouch, glanced at Chu Qing, and said, "The girl's statement is true, but the local customs are like this, if you don't marry someone again, you will be laughed at." The old man is quite kind, the young and strong wife in the village died, which one did not stop the passing woman and forcibly marry, such as the girl's appearance, if it were not for the strange arts, I am afraid that some people would have coveted it. After speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Chu Qing with salivating eyes.

Chu Qing was really angry with such disrespect for the old man, and he wanted to pull up his collar and beat him up, but suddenly remembered Feng Shuzhu's advice to himself when he left, "Remember not to be angry easily."

I didn't care about it at the time, but at this moment, Brother Feng originally had this deep meaning, but he was really angry in his heart and it was difficult to calm down.

The old man didn't seem to notice the change in Chu Qing's heart, he smoked the dry tobacco pouch, and said unhurriedly: "Girl, I don't know if you sword immortals will also marry mortals." ”

When Chu Qing heard this, he was really angry, and he could no longer contain the anger in his heart, raised his hand and waved his fist, and said fiercely: "Old horseman, I miss your age, I can't stand my punch, so I didn't move, I persuaded you to get out of here quickly, and if I anger this girl, I will dismantle your old bones." After speaking, he punched the wooden pier next to the old man.

That wooden pier was originally a mountain wood collected by this master, and it was bound into a sitting pier, how could it eat Chu Qing's punch.

There was a "bang" and it scattered into a heap.
