Chapter 60: The Magical Past 2
The family surnamed Zhao, talking about the strange things of the Zhao family has happened for a year, everyone in the village knows it, the first thing to happen is the old lady Zhao, he was choked by something in the middle of the night, almost suffocated to death, fortunately the old woman Zhao who was sleeping next to him woke up, heard the old man breathing wrong, and woke up. ()
Then there is the girl of the Zhao family, when she sleeps, she always feels that there is a 'person' next to her, and she stretches out her hairy hand to touch her face, but when she opens her eyes, there is nothing, this is still a trivial matter, but then the girl began to sit in nightmares, in the dream I always saw a man with his back to him 'hehe' and laughed, and after laughing, he punched and kicked her in the dream, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
What's even more strange is that she was beaten in a dream, but there were bruises on her body when she woke up, so that the Zhao family girl didn't dare to sleep, this thing is weird, it's not scary, the scary thing is that once the Zhao family girl finally saw the 'person's face clearly in the dream, but it was a sharp-beaked monkey gills and a hairy face.
How horrible is that? The body of a man, the face of a monster! The girl of the Zhao family was almost not frightened crazy, and she took several pairs of calming medicines to recover.
If you want to say that these encounters are okay, but the most serious situation is the son of the Zhao family, who is already 'crazy'.
In a trance all day long, talking to himself alone, the expression was even more obsessive, and when asked, he said that he was in love with a girl named Wang Shu, and he was talking to that girl.
But where can people see who there is? When the boy was in a hurry, he began to curse people, and even raised a knife, saying that people wanted to harm him, and even more so Wang Shu.
Gradually, the subordinates didn't dare to stay in the Zhao family, they were afraid of panicking, if it weren't for the kindness of the Zhao family, I was afraid that these subordinates would be gone.
What's even more sad is that the Zhao family only has one son and one daughter, seeing that the son is crazy and the daughter is getting haggard, but there is no way to stop it, move, this is the ancestral property, the heavy filial piety at that time, how could it be possible to abandon the homeland, abandon the ancestral property, and go elsewhere, how to make a living without land?
The Zhao family seems to be about to be cornered!!
But after all, the Zhao family is still a person with a head and a face in the village, and there are still some connections, especially the old man Zhao has a cousin, who is a figure in the city, and he is even more well-informed.
said that he invited three people, but in fact, only the old man among the three people was invited, and the two young men were his apprentices.
The old man, Mrs. Zhao, heard the cousin say, don't look at his reputation, he looks ordinary, and his clothes are sloppy, but there are many real nobles who know that he is a person with real skills, and he is a person with great skills.
The old man's surname is Li, but his name is very strange, called Yiguang, at that time, the name was somewhat exquisite, this light, a light implied a sweep away, didn't it mean that there was nothing left?
And the old man likes others to call him Lao Li, like a subordinate, but people have a lot of words.
"When you are young, you are Xiao Li, you are called Da Li when you are middle-aged, and you are called Lao Li when you are old, this is the most authentic title, and it is also the law of people's lives.
Lao Li is a strange person, he will not make a move easily, there must be at least two 'little yellow fish' when he makes a move, no matter how many people in the city have heads, faces and wealth, he will not give face, talk about the price more, sorry, add money!
Therefore, Mrs. Zhao's cousin said: "No one is important, so don't worry too much about money." ”
And Mrs. Zhao also promised Lao Li in person: "As long as you can save people, you will not hesitate to go bankrupt." ”
That Lao Li just drank tea, but didn't answer.
It is said that on the first day that Lao Li came to the village, after having lunch at the Zhao family, he went around the village, and he didn't do anything else, just talked everywhere and learned about the Zhao family's personality, and they didn't meet my master on this day.
That night, Lao Li stayed at Zhao's house, and the strange thing is that there was no strange thing in Zhao's house that night, and even the Zhao family's son-in-law, who had never been very sober, patronized and talked about 'love', and talked about tea and dinner.
He didn't talk to himself, although he was still in a trance, and even ate a bowl of dry rice, which was something he had never done since he fell in love, he was not extremely hungry in those days, and his family forced him to never eat, even if he ate at most half a bowl of porridge and rice.
There is another detail in the middle, which was said by the servants of the Zhao family, that is, after Zhao Gongzi finished eating, Lao Li grabbed Zhao Gongzi, sniffed him, and then said: "This body is full of stinky, go wash it." ”
Zhao Gongzi who said these words almost turned his face on the spot, if it wasn't for the persuasion of Old Lady Zhao, he would have to raise a knife and scold people again.
In the end, Zhao Gongzi brushed his sleeves away, but Lao Li didn't care, but said to Mrs. Zhao: "I know what is wrong, I will help you get things done tomorrow, it's just a small thing!" You just have to get paid ready, and it can't be said that you don't get paid for this thing. ”
Of course, he also muttered in a low voice: "Speaking of which, it's fate that I came here, I'm coming, I'm coming." ”
But no one thinks deeply, these capable people talk about it, and they will say it is fate wherever they go.
My master appeared the next day, he helped the people in the village to herd the cattle, and the biggest patron was the Zhao family, and this morning, he went to bring the cattle to herd, which was his daily errand.
The descendants of the Zhao family were already familiar with my master, and after letting him enter the door, he said to him: "Today, there is a 'mage' to exorcise demons, and you can only lead the cow out later. ”
Although the master is precocious, he is a child after all, and some children's temperament is inevitable.
The Zhao family was modest, and the housekeeper brought the cow baby in, and they didn't say anything, everyone's thoughts were all focused on Lao Li, they all looked nervous, except for Lao Li's two apprentices, they were just chatting calmly.
At this time, Lao Li was walking around in the courtyard of the Zhao family, squatting down from time to time to draw two strokes, and throwing a stone from time to time, his expression was relaxed and calm, obviously inversely proportional to people's nervousness.
Lao Li walked around, my master didn't notice him for the first time, but noticed the two young men, those two young men were delicate, neatly dressed, and every move was indescribably bookish, giving people a sense of erudition, and it was difficult for people who saw them to have a bad feeling for them anyway.
The two young men glanced at the master inadvertently when the master looked at them, the younger one just smiled slightly, nodded politely and turned his head, but the older one stared at the master for a long time, and his lips moved.
Closer, I heard the young man whisper, he looked at my master for a long time, and wanted to walk over several times, but he hesitated for a long time without confusion and didn't move.
On the other hand, Lao Li was in the courtyard, walking around the room, and then he came to my master's side, and he saw my master at a glance.
This look is not special, especially when he saw my master, he let out a 'huh' like his apprentice, the difference is that his apprentice's eyes are puzzled, but his eyes are surprised.
He pulled my master by the hand, startling my master and immediately struggling.
After a day of contact with Lao Li, Mrs. Zhao also knew that this person talked and did things, without a beginning or an end, and never explained, he hurriedly comforted my master: "Jiang Xiao'er is not panicking, he is not a bad person, don't move, he is a capable person." ”
My master respects Mrs. Zhao, as soon as he heard Mrs. Zhao say this, he quieted down, and Lao Li didn't say much, he caught my master and watched it for a long time, and then what was even more excessive, he also groped up and down for a long time, and he didn't know what he was touching.
In the end, he nodded with satisfaction, and said to the master, "What's it called?" ”
"It's called Jiang Xiao'er, and I don't have a name yet." Because of Mrs. Zhao's face, my master still replied politely.
"Oh, his adoptive father's surname is Jiang, we all call him Jiang Xiao'er, but he didn't have a name." Old lady Zhao explained on the side.
"Where do you live?" Lao Li didn't seem to hear Old Lady Zhao speak at all, and just asked Master.
The master still replied politely, but he didn't want Lao Li to pick up the master excitedly, touched his head fiercely, and said, "It's you, it's wrong, it's you!" ”
