Chapter 70: Flustered
Early the next morning, Ghost Cry woke up in a white light shot from the east, and then she heard Cai Wei's voice, and she panicked and said to Ghost Cry: "Brother Ghost, it's not good, our house was burglarized last night." ”
The ghost was stunned for a moment, then reacted. Last night, Old Ghost Lin came in and brought a lot of mud stains, and the whole hall was full of mud.
He smiled and said, "It's okay, your father came last night." ”
"My father, he ...... What's going on?" Cai Wei became nervous, she was afraid that something would happen to her father, and she was afraid that her father would die again.
"It's fine. The ghost cried and comforted her: "Your father has walked too much at night, and he has broken into ghosts, and yesterday he was scared half to death and ran to us." ”
Cai Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and the ghost cried, "Is Mama Zhang here?"
"It's coming. ”
"Let her cook more. ”
"Well, okay, I'll go. ”
Cai Wei left in a hurry, the ghost cried and got out of bed, the sky was already bright, the sky was still dark outside, and the continuous heavy rain was very haunting.
He looked at the rain outside, thought about it, and always felt a little uneasy, so he couldn't help but pull out the knife, and his fingers stroked the knife, and the cold touch made him feel at ease.
"Is there something eating people in this city?" Ghost Cry frowned, and had the heart to take a look, but yesterday, in a panic, Old Ghost Lin actually forgot where that place was, and only remembered that it was in the nearby area, and it was very remote, and he couldn't even tell the south, south, west, and north.
An inexplicable sense of danger haunted him, he could feel it, but it was very faint, it didn't seem to be aimed at him, so he couldn't feel where he came from, so he was in a bit irritable.
He took a deep breath, sheathed the knife, hung it back on the head of the bed, and walked out.
Zhang's mother, who helped him cook, just walked out of the kitchen, smiled and cried to the ghost: "Brother ghost, the rice is ready, I'll leave first." ”
"Good. Ghost Cry smiled and nodded: "The road is slippery in the rain, walk slowly on the road." ”
"Got it, it's not far away. Zhang's mother put on a hat and went out humming a song.
Cai Wei brought the food out of the kitchen, and the ghost cried, "Just wake up your father!"
The breakfast was not rich, but it was much better than what Old Ghost Lin ate on weekdays. The meat bun bigger than his fist, with sour and spicy pickles and thick meat porridge, made him eat a round belly directly.
gave him a hat and a coat and sent him away, and then, Ghost Cry set up the hall and vacated a vacant space to teach Caiwei to punch and kick.
Fists and feet are useless compared to weapons, but they can be used for emergency response, and can also be used to refine the body.
After teaching a few tricks, let Cai Wei practice slowly, Ghost Cry finally couldn't sit still, got up with a knife, and went out with a hat.
On a rainy day, the big black horse shrank in the stable and refused to go out, and the ghost cried and didn't force it, but went out alone and arrived at the opposite bank of Li Wenwen's family.
Their family is still busy with the marriage of their daughter and Chu Junwen, and they look very warm.
Ghost Cry leaned against the willow tree, looking at the more green leaves washed by the rain overnight, and rubbing his chin with his hand unconsciously, who was the sense of crisis aimed at.
......
Li Daniu came out of the yamen, stuffed a wallet into the official who sent him out, wiped the sweat from his head, walked down the steps, and muttered in his mouth.
Gradually, out of the city, the road turned into a small road, and I slipped with one foot and fell on a butt pier. He stood up scolding, feeling that something was wrong, and when he looked down, the straw sandals were torn off, and he suddenly scolded even more fiercely.
He walked crookedly all the way home, and as soon as he opened the door, his blood was cold. He walked in, with a reluctant smile on his face: "My lord, didn't you say that it would be night?"
"Evening?" Zhang Dalang squatted on the stool next to the table in the hall, his lips pulled to the sides, revealing jagged teeth: "Lao Tzu can't wait." ”
With that, he jumped down from the stool and walked to Li Daniu's side, closing the door behind him: "Tell me, how is the investigation?"
The strong smell of blood kept pouring into his nose, Li Daniu swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard, and nodded forcefully: "I found it." Of those three, one had gone crazy and was said to have died a few days later. One took refuge with a relative, got a job, and worked as a coolie on the docks. There is also a high school jinshi, who is still Tanhualang, and is preparing to get married recently. ”
Speaking of this, Li Daniu's mouth was full of bitterness. The cannibal in front of him, let alone the cannibal inn. He was looking for those three now, obviously with bad intentions. If these three people are ordinary people, it would be fine, but one of them is a tanhualang, who is going to cause a big deal.
Hearing this, Zhang Dalang became interested: "Hey, hey, hey...... Lao Tzu's brother died, but he got married, thinking that Lao Tzu's poor brother didn't leave a son and a half daughter until he died, this world is unfair!"
Li Daniu trembled, and looked at Zhang Dalang, who was a little crazy, and was even more afraid, this world is indeed unfair, what will happen, and such ogres should not say it.
Zhang Dalang's head leaned over, sniffed between his neck, and then said disgustedly: "You should take a bath, look, such delicious meat is not clean." ”
Li Daniu nodded in agreement, swearing in his heart that he would go to the dung pit to roll later.
After receiving Li Daniu's reply, Zhang Dalang nodded with satisfaction: "Tell me, when will they get married?"
"It's supposed to be tomorrow, yes, it's tomorrow. ”
Zhang Dalang licked his lips, his sharp teeth cut his tongue, and the blood fell down the tip of his tongue one by one, and his lips became even redder, making Li Daniu feel creepy for a while, Zhang Dalang said to himself in a gloomy tone: "It seems that I have to give this Tanhualang a big gift!"
Long Wu sat on the edge of the bed exhausted and took off his straw sandals. The soles of his feet were full of blood blisters. Today, he worked in the rain for a day, and the muscles in his whole body were extremely sore, and his whole body was very uncomfortable.
There is not much work today, so he came back before it was dark, and it was impossible to say whether it was good or bad.
He borrowed a needle, held it in his hand, and carefully punctured the blood blister, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It's raining outside, it's raining inside the house, and the raindrops fall in the basin with a crisp sound, which is very annoying. The tiles above his head were trampled by those dog-day heroes, and he could only scold a few words in his heart, and he didn't dare to go to someone to accompany him.
He stood up, put the needle away, put on his draft shoes, and decided to go to his room to fix it. The house was not his, he just lived here, and he was adopted by a distant relative, his cousin by generation, who kindly took him in, and gave him a bedroom so that he could live in peace, and no matter what, he had to do what he could.
Carrying the ladder to the outside and going up to the room, he carefully stepped on some slippery tiles, crawled on them, and adjusted them.
"Who's up there?" came a woman's voice from inside, the mistress of the house.
"Sister-in-law, it's me, I see that the roof is broken, fix it, you see, there are still leaks. ”
The hostess below was in command, and Long Wu was working cautiously above, and when he came down from above, his legs were weak, and he trembled. Even though I didn't do much work today, I was still very tired, and after going to the room once, I felt weak after being drenched in the rain for so long.
