Chapter 40: Tragic Days
"Ah, Master! Master! "When I woke up and saw what I was doing, that was my first reaction, and I started crying wolf. ()
To be exact, I was woken up by an itch, and when I fell asleep, I felt that my face was itchy, and I couldn't help but scratch it, and then shoot it, and just wake myself up.
When I woke up, I wasn't very awake and didn't realize anything, but when I subconsciously spread out my hand to take a look, I suddenly felt like I was going crazy.
My face was still itchy, and I wanted to wash it with water, but when I looked down, I saw that in the big wooden barrel I was bathing, there was a black layer on the water, and I don't know how many ants had died on it.
I looked around in some panic, and there were so many, so many of them on the ground, so many that I was dizzy and trying to crawl into my barrel!
Are these ants trying to eat me?
Such a strange thing is so weird that it surpasses the hungry ghost worm, and I have no choice but to shout at Master in a hoarse voice.
The mountain was quiet, my shout came far, far away, but the first one to run was Ling Ruyue, a little girl, I originally wanted to stand up, but when I saw her, I sat down all of a sudden, leaving only one head on the water, and shouted: "What are you doing here?" β
"Well deserved." Ling Ruyue stuck out her tongue at me, and she actually ran away, and her back was really happy.
I was so angry that my temples were beating, and I suddenly remembered her strange behavior, and patted it on my towel and on me, could it be her?
Master said that there are countless spells in this world, and even our Taoists, each vein has its own unique method, out of China, as well as Nanyang magic, and in the West, it also has its own magic system.
It's just that the technology over there is developing too fast, and the clergy on their side are less and less aware of pure spells, but they are more inclined to develop the potential of the human body, such as special functions or something.
Just when I was thinking nonsense, my master came, and Ling Ruyue's grandmother also came.
My master saw ants all over the ground at once, his expression was strange and helpless, but Ling Ruyue's grandmother looked more serious.
My master smiled helplessly, turned to her and said, "Ling Qing, your granddaughter is afraid that she wants to turn me into an ant nest." β
It turned out that Ling Ruyue's grandmother's name was Ling Qing, why did her granddaughter and grandmother have the same surname, but I couldn't care about this, this ant climbed on my face again.
Grandma Ling Qing didn't speak, just walked up to me with a serious expression, and I didn't know how she made a move, anyway, I smelled a smell, and then those ants stopped crawling towards me.
"I'll go find Ruyue." Grandma Ling Qing dropped this sentence and prepared to leave.
And my master looked at her with a strange expression, and suddenly said, "Isn't this little girl Ruyue the same as you?" Back then, my stomach hurt, and that was called a dead and alive. β
Grandma Ling Qing glared at my master and turned to leave.
At this time, my master came up to me with a hippie smile and said, "Sanwa'er, how does it taste?" β
"When I get up, I must teach that girl a lesson with Taoism." I gritted my teeth, I'm not a fool, I know from this conversation that what happened to me today was done by Ling Ruyue, but I really don't understand what she is doing, and what methods she used to harm me.
"Teach others? Just your three-legged cat handle? If you don't want to be more miserable, forget it. Old man Jiang glanced at me, and his expression was really hateful.
"Could it be that she is better than Taoism?" I'm really not convinced.
"Hehe, the Gu technique she said, it's easy to get started, at least some of the things that get started are easy, it's not like we have to work hard to practice and accumulate strength, at least you will die of this heart now." Old man Jiang said without being salty.
Gu art? I had goosebumps on my body, and suddenly I remembered that hungry ghost worm, which was cultivated by a Gu master, simply
Thinking about what happened to me just now, I decided that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
"Master, why did she let the ants find me?" I'm still a little curious.
"I'm not too proficient in this kind of thing, but I still know the tricks of that little girl, she doesn't have any skills now, and Gu is the lowest way, shoot something on you, won't the ants come?" For example, do you have a strong smell emitted by the queen ant when she is threatened? Old man Jiang suddenly smiled, looking a little gloating.
I stopped talking, and suddenly felt that this Gu technique was quite advantageous, as long as I knew the key, anyone could use it, and I still don't want to act rashly now.
Of course, it was only later that I realized how naΓ―ve my understanding of Gu art was at the time.
"Master, you see I'm like this, can you make a fragrant soup?" Since there is no hope of revenge, take advantage of it first.
"Stinky boy!" My master laughed and scolded.
In the hall of the bamboo forest building, I, my master, Grandma Ling Qing, and Ling Ruyue are here.
Master and Grandma Ling Qing were naturally sitting, my hair was still dripping, and I stood next to Ling Ruyue quite proudly, while the little girl pouted, looking unconvinced.
"Ruyue, if there is a next time, I will collect the things on your body for you, have you forgotten the rules?" Grandma Ling Qing trained Ruyue, and I was proud on the side, look, this is revenge.
"Grandma, I didn't mean to, he bullied me first." Ruyue pouted, and tears fell down all of a sudden.
At this time, the old man Jiang was not calm, and suddenly felt distressed, and said to Grandma Ling Qing: "I said forget it, just talk about it." β
I cursed in my heart, can you just say it to me? I haven't tasted your iron palms.
Then, Old Man Jiang pulled Ruyue over again, helped her wipe her tears, and asked her: "Why did the third baby bully you, Grandpa Jiang helped you get angry." β
Ruyue made a very sensible appearance and said: "Grandpa Jiang and grandma are talking about things, Ruyue went to play by herself, and saw her brother practicing, Ruyue asked her brother to play, but my brother asked Ruyue to go aside, saying that Ruyue has bigger eyes and white skin, and he doesn't like Ruyue at all." β
I was stunned all of a sudden, this little girl is so powerful, she said that she was so innocent in three or two sentences, although this is the case, but how did she say it, and it changed its taste?
Under the protection of Old Man Jiang, Grandma Ling Qing didn't have much training for Ruyue, she just looked at Ruyue's pitiful appearance very seriously.
But the old man Jiang slapped me on the head all of a sudden, and I was firmly caught with a 'snap'.
"Sanwa'er, you're out of luck, bullying an 11-year-old girl, people are not well-behaved, are you good? You have the ability to have bigger eyes and white skin, you look like a monkey! β
I'm so angry, after my mother, my master has become a staunch traitor again.
I looked at Ruyue viciously, this little girl is quite capable of pretending, I have no grace at all, I really want to pump her!
"Ruyue, you have to get along well with the third brother, the day after tomorrow, grandma will go to do some things with Grandpa Jiang, you and the third brother will wait on the mountain, and you will have the third brother take care of you." Ling Qing***'s words are tantamount to dropping a bombshell.
"How is it possible, I have to take care of her?"
"No, I'm going with my grandmother!"
Ruyue and I said it at about the same time.
As soon as the old man Jiang slapped the table, he stood up and yelled at me: "Do you dare to take good care of Ruyue, and ask me to come back, Ruyue is missing a hair, so you will wait to copy the Tao Te Ching for me ten thousand times." β
And Grandma Ling Qing just said lightly: "Ruyue, if you don't obey this time, I will confiscate all the Gu lures on your body, including those pets of yours." β
I don't want to give in, I'm absolutely going to fight.
But Ruyue whispered: "Including my Hua Feifei?" β
"Hmm." Grandma Ling Qing looked very calm but serious.
Ruyue stopped talking, but the old man Jiang had something to say: "Sanwa'er, everyone is so sensible, you have to say half a word to me, and copy the Tao Te Ching for me tonight!" β
"Who's going to cook that meal?" It's impossible for a woman to ask me to cook, right? When I was 11 years old, I had been cooking for Old Man Jiang for many years.
"You!" Old man Jiang didn't hesitate.
"Who washes the clothes?" I'm about to cry, but I'm still holding on to a little hope, as the saying goes, division of labor and cooperation.
"It's still you!" An emotionless voice.
I cried and mourned, and saw Ruyue's little girl in the corner of my eyes, pursed her lips, with an obedient smile, but there was clearly pride in her eyes!
It turned out that I didn't think of her at all, and in the days that followed, I was 'instigated' by her to do something extremely crazy with her!
