Chapter 26: Inhumans

The girl Luo Shi continued: "I was also shocked by the old man, and said respectfully: 'Please give the old fairy advice. The old man nodded slightly, stroked his beard, and was satisfied with my attitude, and continued: 'Tonight, go home and see your father, and remember, the time to return home is after half past five in the evening, before six o'clock, not early or late.' ’”

"I was shocked when I heard this, my mother passed away early, my father lived alone in the suburbs, my sister and I were working in the city, no one took care of him, and listening to the old man's words, it was obvious that my father was going to have an accident. I was so concerned that I hurriedly asked, 'Old Fairy, what's wrong with my father?'"

The old man waved his hand, 'I can't say, when you go back, you'll know what to do.' I thanked him and turned to leave. The old man stopped me again and instructed me again: 'Remember, the time to return home must be after half past five in the evening, before six o'clock, not early or late.' If it's too early and can't respond to the catastrophe, there will be a follow-up, and if it's too late, your father won't be saved. When you're done, come to me at this address. He said and gave me an address. ”

I took it in my hand, thanked me, didn't bother to look at it, and hurried away, and when the time was almost up, I got in the car and returned home. ”

"When I arrived at the entrance of the village, it was still early, but I remembered what the old man had said, 'after half past five, before six o'clock,' and I didn't dare to go back early, so I waited at the entrance of the village, and finally waited until about half past five before running home. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and glanced at Xu Mo.

Xu Mo asked, "What happened, what happened to your father?"

Luo Shi continued: "Before I went back, my father was cooking dinner at home, and there was a thief in the house, and I didn't know that my father was at home and came to steal something, but my father heard the movement and found out that there was an argument. The thief was an acquaintance, knocked my dad unconscious and fled, worried that my dad would wake up and call the police, and before leaving, dragged my dad into the kitchen, closed the door, turned on the gas, and tried to kill my dad. ”

"Fortunately, I went back in time, and my dad was fine. Thanks to that old man, if he hadn't calculated accurately, maybe my dad, my dad wouldn't..."

Speaking of this, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't continue to say the rest of the words, and his tears couldn't stop dripping, and he reached out to rub his eyes.

Xu Mo was at a loss, and he didn't know how to comfort the other party for a while. After a while, when Luo Shi calmed down, he thought for a while and continued to ask: "Later, the old man asked you to go to him after the matter, is the address he gave you at No. 13 Qiuxia Road?

Luo Shi shook her head, "No, no, the address that the old man gave me at first is not this, I have already looked for him." ”

Xu Mo let out an 'oh', "What did he say to you when you found him?"

Luo Shi said: "Because my father is really in danger, I have no doubt about the old man, after returning from home, I will bring a gift, to the address that the old man gave me to find him, the old man lives in an alley, the house is an old-fashioned courtyard, old and elegant, at least for decades, I saw it, I can't help but nod secretly, the cramped, narrow buildings in the big city can not accommodate such strange people, such a place, can barely let the old man live." ”

"I walked to the door and was about to knock when the old man's voice suddenly came from the courtyard, 'The door is open, come in.' I had not done anything, but through the gate and through the courtyard wall, he knew that I was coming! I was stunned for a moment, and remembered the old man's miracle, and immediately thought that this was the way it should be. ”

"When I pushed the door in, the first thing I saw was a verandah, which went around on the right side and led to the main house. The courtyard was very large, and in the middle was a garden, with pine, bamboo, and flowers, and in the center of the garden was a pond, and in the middle of the pond, there was an octagonal pavilion, and the path outside the pond was connected on all sides by a stone bridge, and there was a stone table and a stone bench in the pavilion, and the old man was holding a book, sitting on a stone bench, with his back to me. ”

The old man was so engrossed that he ignored me. I walked to the pavilion and stood behind him, not daring to disturb. After a long time, the old man put down the book and asked, 'Do I want to call you here for the sake of Lu?'"

"I shook my head, followed the example of the person in the book, and said respectfully: 'Please let the old fairy make it clear. The old man stroked his beard, stood up suddenly, walked to the side of the pavilion with his hands on his back, and said word for word: 'You have a great calamity, and it will come soon.' ’”

If someone else had said this, I would have laughed at him, and even after hearing it, I wouldn't have taken it seriously. But this was said by the old man, he said that I have a great calamity, then naturally there is really a great calamity, I was immediately frightened, I don't know how to be good, a sentence blurted out: 'The old fairy save me.' The old man turned around, his left hand behind his back, and the five fingers of his right hand pinched rapidly, as if he were calculating. ”

After a long time, he shook his head and sighed, "The calamity is too big, too bizarre, I can't figure it out, and there is no way to save you." ’”

"'How come?' my eyes widened in disbelief, 'With your ability, old fairy, there are still things that can't be calculated?' The old man shook his head and said, "It's too bizarre to exceed my understanding, so I can't figure it out." ’”

"I don't have a soul, 'Am I going to die?' the old man looked at me with pity in his eyes, 'It's not death, you're still alive, but it's a thousand, if not ten thousand, times more terrible than death. ’”

"Ten thousand times more terrible than death, what could it be?" I couldn't believe it, I fell to my knees, kowtowing and begging, 'Old fairy, you must save me.' I couldn't help but cry. The old man stretched out his hand to help me, and he laughed and said, "If I didn't want to save you, I wouldn't let you come." I can't save you, it doesn't mean that others can't save you, I recommend you to meet someone, you try, see if he can help you, if even he can't help you, then no one in this world can save you. ’”

When I heard this, my heart was a little relieved, and at the same time I felt curious, and asked, 'What kind of person is that person, is it more powerful than you old fairy?' The old man smiled, "How can I compare with him? Don't worry, if he really helps you, he may not be able to save you. ’”

"I thought about it for a while, and asked, 'Then what am I going to do so that he will help me?' and the old man smiled, 'It's useless what you do, and if he doesn't want to help you, he won't help you, and it has nothing to do with what you do.' But he's an old friend of mine, and I don't want to say no when I introduce you. He seemed to see my concern, and then said, 'Don't worry, he owes me a favor, and if I ask him to help, he will still help.' My old friend called himself Qingqiu Jun, when you saw him, you said that the old man of the bamboo forest asked you to come, the old man of the bamboo forest is my nickname, and he knew that you were the person I introduced when he heard it. ’”

"I hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed again, 'Xie Lu Xie Old Immortal, Xie Lu Xie Old Immortal. The old man helped me up and said cautiously, 'There is one more thing I want to tell you, my old friend has a strange appearance, and when you see it, don't be surprised, otherwise, if you look strange and anger him, even if it is the person I introduced to the past, he will not pay attention to it, understand?'"

When he said this, his expression was very serious, and I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart, and hurriedly nodded, 'Understood!' At the same time, I took the old man's instructions in my head several times, and I remembered them in my heart. Then the old man gave me an address and told me to go to his old friend..."

Xu Mo interjected: "This address is No. 13 Qiuxia Road?"

Luo Shi nodded and replied in the affirmative, "Yes." ”

Xu Mo continued: "The old man said that his old friend had a special appearance, what is so special, why do you want to ask you?"

Luo Shi shook his head and said: "I don't know what to say, I'm also worried, I'm afraid it's the good looks..."

Xu Mo felt a little funny, and comforted: "Don't worry, he can't hear it." ”

Luo Shi said disapprerovingly: "I also think I shouldn't hear it, but these aliens have special abilities, although they can't hear it, they can calculate it, so it's better not to say bad things about them behind their backs." ”

Xu Mo said 'hey', was silent, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Have you ever asked the old man of Zhulin, why does he want to help you?"

Luo Shi was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "That's not true, is this important?"

Xu Mo said solemnly: "He is not related to you, but he is so enthusiastic, don't you think it's strange?"

Luo Shi's eyes widened, "Don't you think, he's a strange person, do you still need a reason to help people?"

Xu Mo said: "If he loves to help people save people so much, why don't he save the one who was in the car accident." ”

Luo Shi smiled: "That person is disrespectful to the old man, so the old man wants to punish him." After a pause, he said: "And it is not true to say that the old man does not save him, isn't there a saying that 'medicine does not kill the disease, and the Buddha is destined to be a person'? ”

He glanced at Xu Mo again, with a serious expression, and warned: "You seem to be suspicious of the old man of the bamboo forest, beware of being counted by him, punish you." ”

Xu Mo shook his head, remembering what happened to Qin Ruolan's husband and what Qin Ruolan had said, 'Why did such a good thing fall on us?'

And in the means, there is also a lottery, and there is also a win. As for the calculated car accident and the incident that happened to Rocky's father, if it was deliberately arranged, it was not impossible to do it.
