Chapter 45: The Snake Exorcist
I finally walked onto the platform, and I found several people standing on it, except for two of whom I did not know, and I had seen the rest of them, that is, the lazy soldiers in the small courtyard. (You can find this site)
I haven't seen those two are an old man and a young man, the old one wears a gray Tang suit with a button, the clothes look a little shabby, there are even patches on them, and the head is wrapped with strips of cloth of the same color, very silent there smoking dry smoke, frowning and not knowing what he is thinking.
As for the young one, it is very normal to wear it, a set of washed white yellow military uniform, a wrinkled military hat on his head, and a small emerald green bamboo flute with his cheeks puffed out there.
I don't even bother to despise him, I think I have three children, I can make a bamboo whistle and blow it loudly.
When I looked back and saw the expression of crispy meat, I guess this kid also had an idea.
At this time, there was a little commotion in the snakes, and when I looked back, it turned out that the person who had just helped me bring a message to the master came in, and I didn't care much about everyone's expressions, and I didn't care anymore, so I pulled the master and asked, "Master, why are you here?" ”
"Nonsense, I'm sure I'm going to be here, last time I found out that this is a gathering place, and if I raise it for a few more decades, I'm afraid that the entire countryside will be affected, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult to survive, I didn't see it, but I didn't care?" My master's neck stiffened, as if he was annoyed that I was asking such a stupid question.
And the crispy meat next to him listened to a confused face, born in New China, even if he believed in ghosts under the red flag, he would never be able to accept the saying that there was a gathering of yin places and that it was difficult for people to survive for a while.
I reacted quickly and immediately asked, "Master, it turns out that you made such a big move?" ”
"Ah, there's a problem?" Old man Jiang put his hands in his sleeves, so proud, probably waiting for me to praise him, he is like this, he cares very much about the praise of children.
But I frowned, and I looked very worried about him.
"Sanwa'er, what's wrong with you?" Old man Jiang didn't wait for praise, but saw me worried, and now he was also curious.
"Master, I know, you want to help the people in the township, but what should you do now? You lied to them that they had a share of work, but what would they do if they didn't? The work can be exchanged for food, so why should we pay it back? "I listened to the worried, I was born in the countryside, I know the importance of work too well, I can think of this, it's not surprising!
As soon as I finished speaking, the whole platform began to laugh, even the old man who was smoking a dry cigarette with a serious face, and his face was wrinkled like the bark of a tree.
As for the little brother who was playing the bamboo flute, he also wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, his eyes were like crescent moons, and his face was even redder.
"You" Old man Jiang couldn't hold back his old face, he was so angry that he almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, and his hand was raised high.
I shrunk my neck, knowing that this slap would not run away, and I would have to be spanked, but I didn't expect that this slap never fell, and in the end, it fell on my head quite softly and touched my hair a few times.
"Forget it, you think about me a lot, and say that we can't pay it back, it seems that I didn't treat the master as an outsider, so I won't beat you today." Old man Jiang's face was a little weird, he was very moved to look like that, but he had to deliberately tense it again.
"Old Jiang, you have a good apprentice, you have a master in your heart, look at my stupid apprentice." The old man who smoked a dry cigarette spoke, and the sound was as if two stones were rubbing against each other, and it was very unpleasant.
"What a good apprentice, he hasn't taught him yet, if he can't catch up with Lao Wutou'er, your apprentice, you see how serious Xiao Ding is." Old man Jiang is quite modest, but he laughs obscenely.
"Forget it, look at his stupid appearance, just these little snakes, he can't drive them away, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my housekeeping skills." The old man who was called Old Wu Tou'er by my master scolded his apprentice, but he was quite capable.
When the young man named Xiao Ding heard this, he turned his head and looked at us, and looked at his master, and his eyes were full of grievances.
I felt a chill in my heart, thinking that my cheap master hadn't taught me the skills yet, you said that if he taught me, I wouldn't be able to do well, would I end up with this little ding?
But the old man Jiang didn't know what I was thinking, so he pulled me over directly, no, it was like pulling potatoes in the field, and pulled a string of them. There's a crispy meat behind me that pulls the corner of my clothes!
"Lao Wu, this is my apprentice, Chen Chengyi, just call him Sanwa'er. The fat baby in the back, "My master didn't know the name of the crispy meat, so he turned his head to look at him."
Crispy Meat is also clever, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said: "My name is Su Laifu, and my nickname is Crispy Meat, Master, you can call me Crispy Meat." ”
'Pop' crispy meat was also hit on the head, and the old man Jiang stared at him and said: "Master, you can't scream nonsense, you have to be obedient, call me Jiang Ye, come to be rich, come to be rich, but it is also worthy of the name, you kid has a blessed face." ”
Crispy meat doesn't understand my master's series of words, I only know that I cover my head, and I scream one by one, it's too *** unethical, like a traitor, so that the old man Jiang was called cool, and he laughed so coquettishly.
"Okay, Sanwa'er, crispy meat, this Grandpa Wu in front of you is a good friend I met here a few years ago, he has great ability, he plays with snakes, and there is no snake in the world that he can't handle." My master introduced me and Crispy Meat to this old man.
I hurriedly called Grandpa Wu with Crispy Meat, and the old Wu Tou laughed a few times, and very successfully laughed out goosebumps with me and Crispy Meat, mainly because the sound was too ugly.
"The two little dolls are also clever, so I'll give you some gadgets." As he spoke, the old Wu Tou'er handed me and the crispy meat a small bamboo tube.
I took it over with the crispy meat and took a look, the small bamboo tube was tightly sealed, and a few small holes were opened in the lid at one end, just like the bottle of pepper noodles used now.
"Gadgets, not worth mentioning, usually tied around the waist, but can also avoid snakes, insects, rats and ants, especially snakes. In case of emergency, open the bamboo tube and pour some powder inside, the effect is better. The old Wu Tou'er explained a few words lightly.
I and the crispy meat were immediately shocked, it was amazing, good thing, and immediately put away the bamboo tube, like a baby.
"Don't hurry up and thank you Grandpa Wu." Old man Jiang shouted next to him, and I and Crispy Meat immediately thanked me, especially me, who felt fresh, and couldn't help but take out the bamboo tube and play with it.
Old man Jiang ignored us, squatted directly next to the old Wu touer, looked at the snakes all over the ground with some worry, and said: "I didn't expect that there is such a bureau in this poor and remote area, and the things raised here are amazing, and I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it now." ”
The old Wu Tou'er returned: "I don't understand these, or are you doing it, I only know, this place of gathering yin, and also led a snake spirit to come, but it is a great thing, the snake likes yin, and the snake spirit is even more people-avoided, it is rare to appear in the eyes of people, this cemetery, it is close to people, it has come here to practice, it can be seen that this land of gathering yin is extraordinary, if it is a heart-to-heart, you can not guess the purpose." ”
Old man Jiang sighed and asked, "Old Wu, are you sure you can get that snake spirit away?" It's blocked at the door of the mansion, and I don't know if it's hit? ”
Lao Wu just wanted to answer, but then Xiao Ding turned his head, finally put down the emerald green bamboo flute in his hand, and said in a northern dialect: "Master, I have no tricks." ”
I originally wanted to ask Master what is the snake spirit, what kind of powerful guy is there underground, can he be more powerful than Li Fengxian's resentful ghost? But the young man called Xiao Ding said so, so I can't ask, I have to let someone else solve the matter first.
He's out of a job? Could it be that the bamboo flute can't be blown and there is no trick? Anyway, with my confused little head at the time, I couldn't figure out why.
"Forget it, there is a snake spirit, and it is normal for a group of snakes to gather and not disperse, your ability is insufficient, and you will have to practice more in the future." Hey, don't look at how much the old Wu boss scolded his disciple, he still hurts his disciple a lot at this time.
After speaking, he walked over, took the bamboo flute in Xiao Ding's hand, and sat in Xiao Ding's position and blew it, the same, silent.
Xiao Ding smiled at me with relief, a very good-looking little brother, with big eyes and deep dimples, he was a little shy.
"Ding Doll, come here." As soon as the master beckoned to Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding came over and sat down next to my master, his face was slightly red, and he lowered his head slightly shyly, and he didn't know what to say to my master.
"At first glance, he is an honest child, unlike you and crispy meat, no face and no skin mountain monkey!" Yes, it turns out that in Old Man Jiang's heart, I, a heroic soldier, am a mountain monkey?
"Why are you stupid? Can't blow a bamboo flute? I leaned over, next to Xiao Ding, and asked without any scruples.
"That's it, that's it, or I'll tell you to blow the bamboo whistle." Crispy meat is on the side to help, anyway, we both think that Xiao Ding hasn't played the bamboo flute for a long time, it's too pitiful.
Old man Jiang smiled, looking at me and crispy meat like an idiot, and didn't explain.
