Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder, if this is really the case, these people are terrible, not only can they control the lottery and manipulate the stock price, but they are everywhere, there are their people everywhere.

Seeing his strange expression, Luo Shi was also taken aback, and asked in a low voice, "You... What do you think of?"

Xu Mo glanced at her, he didn't like to talk, so he was a little hesitant, he didn't know whether he should say to her, and after a while, he said, "I think you'd better not go." ”

Luo Shi was puzzled, "What are you doing? The old man of the bamboo forest said that I have a big catastrophe, how can I do it if I don't go? What if I am robbed?"

Xu Mo sighed: "If you stay at home well, what will be the disaster?"

Luo Shi was stunned, "I don't know what to say, the old man of the bamboo forest said that there is, there must be one." ”

Xu Mo listened to her words, and the old man in the bamboo forest had reached the point of blind obedience and blind faith, and suddenly felt a headache, and he didn't know how to persuade Lu Dao, so after thinking about it, he said: "I don't understand, what calamity will be 10,000 times more terrible than death, if you stay at home, will you encounter such a calamity?"

Luo Shi thought for a moment, "That's not necessarily, what if there is an earthquake and the house collapses and is smashed underneath?"

Xu Mo shook his head, "Being smashed under the house, at most it is just death, how can it be ten thousand times more terrible than death?"

"It's also possible to be disfigured by a fire, or to be in a car accident and be crippled or vegetative. ”

Xu Mo asked again: "Are these ten thousand times more terrible than death?"

Luo Shi said: "At least I think it's more terrible than death, as for 10,000 times, I think it may be a deliberate exaggeration by the old man of the bamboo forest." ”

Xu Mo saw her talking to the old man in the bamboo forest, and felt more and more troubled, and he had the intention to leave it alone, and felt that it was too indifferent and selfish to do so, so he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Have you ever heard of the phrase 'there is no way for good and evil, but people call themselves'?"

Luo Shi shook her head and said embarrassedly: "I don't read much, I don't understand well, what does this mean?"

Xu Mo had already thought of his words, "I once read such a story before, a businessman met a fortune teller on his way home, and the fortune teller told him, 'You have a great calamity, and you will die in a few days.'" When the merchant knew that the fortune teller was very accurate, he was immediately frightened and half dead, fell to his knees, and begged the fortune teller to save him, and the fortune teller told him, 'I can't save you, you can only save yourself.' The merchant asked him, 'What should I do?' and the fortune teller said, 'I don't know what to do.' Then the merchant asked, 'How did I die?' and the fortune teller said: 'I can only calculate how you will die, not how you died.' ’”

As a result, when the merchant returned home, he was suspicious of everything he saw, fearing that he would die, and that he was afraid of everything, and that he would have an accident when he saw everything. When he saw a kitchen knife, he felt that the kitchen knife might suddenly fly up and stab himself to death; when he saw the fire, he felt that he might catch fire, burn down the house and burn himself to death; when he saw his wife, he felt that his wife might steal from others, join forces with an adulterer, and murder himself; when he saw a neighbor's child, he felt that the child was too naughty and might insult himself, so he beat him in a rage, and then his father and brother came to argue with him and beat himself to death. ”

In short, he was suspicious and could not be at peace for a moment. After the worst of them, she couldn't stay at home anymore, so she had to take her belongings and leave the house. As a result, he encountered robbers on the way and was robbed of his belongings. He suddenly remembered that the fortune teller had said that he would die, and he became afraid, thinking that he must have been killed by these robbers, and that they would kill them if they made money. So he screamed, took out his dagger and stabbed at the bandit leader, stabbing the robber leader. ”

The robbers, whose purpose was only to make money, had no intention of killing them, but he stabbed the leader of the robbers, and in a fit of rage, he killed him. ”

Luo Shi listened to him quietly, and thought for a while before saying, "You are telling this story, do you want to tell me that the disasters are actually self-inflicted?"

Xu Mo nodded, "Not bad." If you don't go out and stay at home, how can you encounter something ten thousand times more terrible than death?"

"But..."Luo Shi hesitated: "But, it was the old man of the bamboo forest who asked me to do this, if I don't listen to him, how can I save myself?"

Xu Mo said: "My current neighbor, her husband also encountered a strange thing...", he said that Qin Ruolan's husband had happened from beginning to end.

Luo Shi's face changed color, and he forced a smile: "My experience should be different from his." Besides, why should the old man of the bamboo forest lie to me? What am I worthy of his deception?"

Xu Modao: "I can't figure it out either, but my neighbor, what is there about her husband that is worthy of being deceived by others? Others can deceive him, why can't he deceive you?"

Luo Shi seemed to be frightened by this sentence, her face was ugly, and she did not speak for a long time. If what Xu Mo said was true, the old man of Zhulin was calculating himself everywhere, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that it was unlikely.

If the old man of the bamboo forest is calculating himself, what is he worthy of his calculations? If he wants to get something from himself, with his trust in him, it is not a matter of words?

As long as he says a word, he will obediently hand over what he wants into his hands, why bother so much?

She thought about it, but she couldn't figure it out anyway, and finally said to Xu Mo euphemistically: "If you have seen the old man in the bamboo forest, maybe you won't think so, it is really a very enthusiastic and kind old man, and he will not be unfavorable to me." ”

"If you are deceived and you think that he is saving you, of course you will think that he is warm-hearted and kind, and the man who was hit and killed by a sports car does not think so. Xu Mo secretly shook his head in his heart, seeing that her preconceived notions were so strong, he thought that it would be useless to persuade herself, so she didn't say more at the moment.

The bus stopped at the terminal, and the two got off the bus, and saw that the place where the bus stopped was a T-junction, and the T-junction was Qiuxia Road.

Directly opposite the intersection is a factory, and you can see a big sign in the distance - Yixing Cement Co., Ltd.

The place is relatively desolate, there are not many buildings, and you can vaguely see a few courtyards to the left, and a large field of crops to the right. Xiang Lu right is far away, about two or three miles away, is a high slope, the road passes through the high slope, cut off the high slope, and build a stone bridge, leading into the distance.

The high slope extends to both sides to the end of the line of sight, and there are trees planted on the slope, which should be a river embankment, which obscures the view, and what is on the other side is completely invisible.

The two crossed the highway and walked to the other side, and at a glance they saw the house number of 'Yixing Cement Co., Ltd.) - No. 12 Qiuxia Road.

Xu Mo glanced at Luo Shi, and vaguely guessed something, but he didn't say it. The two walked to the door of the cement company's security room and asked for the next way, and the result was as Xu Mo guessed, No. 9 Qiuxia Road was to the left, and No. 13 was to the right.

A security guard also enthusiastically came out of the security room and pointed them out the way, number 9 is simple, keep walking to the left, it won't take long to arrive. No. 13 is a bit troublesome, after passing the stone bridge, turn right again, walk along the river embankment on the other side for five or six hundred meters, and then look left, in a wood, you can see a huge yard, that yard, is No. 13 Qiuxia Road.

Xu Mo took the opportunity to ask: "Who is living in that courtyard, do you know the way?"

The security guard didn't think about it and said, "I'm sorry, I rarely go to that place, I don't know much, the last time I passed through there was last year." ”

Xu Mo asked again, "The last time you passed by, did you see any people in that courtyard?"

The security guard had a look of remembrance on his face, thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I didn't pay attention, so I don't remember." ”

Luo Shi smiled, feeling that Xu Mo was too worried, but the other party was worried and was also helping herself, so she didn't stop it.

Xu Mo was about to say more, when an eagle's cry suddenly came from overhead, and he peeked up, but saw a huge black eagle hovering in the sky.

Xu Mo suddenly remembered something, was taken aback, and hurriedly ran to the eaves of the security room to take refuge.

Luo Shi was surprised: "You... What's wrong with you?"

The security guard glanced into the air and exclaimed, "What a big eagle!"

Xu Mo asked, "Have you seen it before?"

The security guard said: "I haven't noticed, but it's not unusual for the eagle to fly so fast and appear here." ”

Luo Shi smiled and said to Xu Mo: "Even if it's an eagle, it won't attack you, what are you doing hiding?" she laughed heartily, thinking it was very funny that Xu Mo was afraid of the eagle.

Of course, the eagle would not attack people for no reason, but what Xu Mo remembered was the black eagle he had seen in Beishan, and he was worried that it was the same one. The eagle's gaze is sharp, and in the sky, you can see very small objects on the ground. And that black eagle is quite spiritual, and once it is recognized, it will be in trouble.

The black eagle hovered in the air for a while, and then went into the distance, Xu Mo saw it go away, and then came out from under the eaves, his expression was cloudy, and he secretly prayed in his heart: "I hope it is just a coincidence, this eagle is not the one I saw in Beishan." ”

Glancing in the direction that Black Hawk had left, he became worried again, and the direction in which it left seemed to be the direction of No. 13 Qiuxia Road.

glanced at Luo Shi and persuaded again: "I think it's better for you not to go." The expression was solemn, indescribably serious.

Luo Shi said disapprerovantly: "Hehe, I'll be fine, you're too careful, but I still want to thank you for your concern." ”

Xu Mo saw that she hadn't woken up yet, so he said 'hey' and stopped persuading. After saying goodbye, he separated from her and turned around and walked towards No. 9 Qiuxia Road.

As a result, he had just walked out of the alley not far away, and Luo Shi panted and chased after him, "Hey, big brother, wait a minute." ”

Xu Mo stopped waiting for her, waited for her to catch up, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Shi said: "Big brother, I still don't know what your name is?"

Xu Mo was slightly puzzled, but still said his name.

Luo Shi said again: "Brother Xu, I thought about it just now, and I think what you said also has a certain amount of truth, can you do me a favor?"
