Chapter 0088 Ignore or Do Not Ask
I was sure Zhang Hanzhu knew something, so her hands shook even more violently when she mentioned asking me to accompany her out of town.
Zhang Hanzhu and I have been classmates from elementary school to junior high school and then to high school.
She is my best friend. She is so nice to me that she didn’t blame me even when I got her kidnapped and put in a snake cage last time. When she called me later, she just told me to take care of myself.
Taoist Zhang was well brought up by her parents. She has a gentle personality and will never lie. She will feel guilty if she lies, and that is what is happening now.
I pulled her into the house, poured her a glass of water, and handed her my towel to wipe her face: "I know, I will find a way to save your father. You don't have to go, I can go."
There are some things that Zhang Hanzhu is not suitable to watch.
After watching those things, I started to suffer from insomnia every night.
I was so tired from fighting with Mo Xiu that I just fell asleep.
If I'm not tired, it would be like last night when I closed my eyes and thought of some bad things.
Why should Zhang Hanzhu see all this? She is the pearl held in Taoist Zhang's palm and in his mouth.
Naturally, I will not be contaminated by those dirty things like me.
It would be better for her to live a normal life and not know about these things that are corrupt in terms of human nature, human relations, and morality.
Zhang Hanzhu took the towel and was stunned for a moment, then looked at me with a flickering : "I want to go, after all, it's my dad who's in trouble."
"I told you, you don't have to go." I looked at her with gloomy eyes and whispered, "I will bring your father back. I know why."
Zhang Hanzhu was holding the towel, and her whole body felt like she was struck by lightning. She looked up at me with panic in her eyes, and said with trembling lips: "Long Ling..., I..."
Before she could finish her words, tears started streaming down her face. "I can't help it. They said my dad was bewitched. If you don't go, he will die miserably. I've seen my dad like that. He's really possessed."
"Long Ling, your parents are gone, you should know how scared I am. My father is gone too." She was choked with sobs.
As he was talking, he simply covered his face with a towel and said sullenly, "Long Ling, I'm sorry."
She cried so loudly that Abao, who was sleeping in the room, was woken up. I was afraid that Abao would scare her, so I quickly got up to comfort Abao.
But Qin Mipo was standing at the door, looking at Zhang Hanzhu with a half-smile.
I whispered to her, "Take care of it for me."
At this moment, Abao was lying on the bed, baring his teeth at the door. If the situation was not unclear, he would have pounced at the door.
I wrapped him in clothes, took him out and put him in a basin of warm water, letting him play in the water.
He doesn't let anyone touch him except me, but playing in the water can make him quiet.
Qin Mipo helped me watch over it, and I turned back to look at Zhang Hanzhu: "Please pack up, we will go to the town first."
"This matter was caused by me, and I will solve it. Even if it wasn't you, there would be someone else. They attacked your father because they knew we had a good relationship, so you don't have to feel guilty." I tried to slow down my voice to comfort Zhang Hanzhu.
Zhang Hanzhu might not know the specific situation of Taoist Zhang, but he seemed to have some connection with Mr. Hu. He could find out by directly contacting He Gu and the others.
I originally wanted to leave Abao at home to live with Qin Mipo, but he refused.
As soon as I went out, he pounced on me with bared teeth and a low growl. Fortunately, I hugged him quickly, otherwise Zhang Hanzhu would have been scared.
I had to wrap him up with clothes and find a mask for him to wear.
His eyes are yellow-gray, which is scary, but not as scary as a mouth full of sharp teeth.
Qin Mipo had to deal with the medicinal herb that Mo Xiu sent her at home. The medicinal herbs that Mo Xiu found were all mountain spirits and could not be kept for a long time, so she did not go to the town with him.
Zhang Hanzhu rode the bike and I sat in the back seat. It was Abao's first time riding a bike, and although he was wearing a mask, he was still very curious.
His head was resting on my shoulder, and he kept turning his head to look around, with an indistinct low laugh coming from his throat.
Even those round snake eyes were curved when she smiled.
No matter how dark your life is, you will still feel happy when you see beautiful things.
I held him tightly, and pointed at things on the roadside to teach him, such as trees, birds, and clouds...
"Is this the grandson of that Qin Mipo?" Zhang Hanzhu calmed down now and rode on the road: "As an apprentice, do you still need to help take care of the grandson?"
I didn't know how to reply her, so I just smiled and said, "No."
Although Zhang Hanzhu calmed down, she still felt guilty. She asked for something to talk about, "What's wrong with your hair?"
I have a bald head, so you can tell it at a glance, but it’s a bit difficult to explain.
Fu Qian's wet black hair flashed before his eyes, and his heart was inexplicably trembling. He could only whisper, "It's just that keeping hair is troublesome."
"Oh! Oh..." Zhang Hanzhu obviously knew that I didn't answer these two questions sincerely, so she didn't ask again.
When we arrived at the two-story courtyard of the Wentian Sect, He Ji and He Gu were not there.
Only the young man who was taking care of Mr. Hu was there. When he saw me holding Abao, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Something happened outside the town last night. He Ji and the others went to the city for some business. Are you looking for them for something?"
His voice was gentle and soothing.
Zhang Hanzhu didn't seem to be so anxious anymore, so I asked her to wait for me on the electric car.
Then he told him about Taoist Zhang's affairs, and looked at him and said, "What is your name, Taoist priest? Didn't He Gu talk about the matter of the Xuanmen outside the town? Did the eldest brother of the Wentian Sect come forward to mediate?"
"I'm not a Taoist priest, just call me Awen." Awen stretched out his hand and teased Abao.
He smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that easy to mediate. Last night, the Xuanmen outside the town heard that Yu Xinhe had drunk snake wine and came in, so they bought your father's snake wine at a high price, and then used talisman paper to turn invisible and sneaked in. As a result, three people died."
"What about Taoist Zhang?" I didn't expect that these powerful characters in Xuanmen all like to give themselves away so much?
As if seeing through my thoughts, Ah Wen said coldly, "It is because of his strong strength and half-knowledge about the snake coffin that he thinks it is nothing special for the snake coffin to live in a small town, so he wants to come in relying on his superior skills and courage."
"Then can you help me ask those people to send Taoist Zhang in?" I knew that my request was a bit excessive, but apart from Wentian Sect, I didn't know who else to look for.
Ah Wen shook his head at me: "Everyone in the Xuanmen mind their own business. It's not our place to meddle in other people's affairs."
"This is just the beginning. There are more methods to come. Long Ling, I suspect that there are also people in Xuanmen who have merged with snakes like Mr. Hu."
"If they don't want you to give birth to a snake fetus, they will force you out of town. Your death will not solve the problem. You must have no remains left." A Wen's eyes fell on my lower abdomen.
He said softly, "You didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of you. You can be ruthless to the people of Huilong Village, so you should be ruthless to others as well."
But the people of Huilong Village are all guilty of their own mistakes. They forced me to bury the snake coffin...
Taoist Zhang was helping me, so how could I have the heart to be cruel to him?
Just as I was about to ask if there was any way to coordinate, I heard Zhang Hanzhu's phone ringing. Then she seemed to answer a video call and started screaming.
I hurried over and saw Taoist Zhang standing in an empty room on the other side of the video, shirtless.
All kinds of poisonous insects were crawling on his body, and many parts of his upper body were covered with lumps as high as fists.
It was shiny purple and black, and it looked like something was wriggling inside, trying to break out.
At this moment, a lump on the chest burst, and something like a bee came out, dragging something yellow, white and red...
Taoist Zhang's whole body was twitching in pain, and white foam was coming out of the corners of his mouth, but he was still standing unsteadily.
Zhang Hanzhu screamed and fainted.
Ah Wen was quick and grabbed her.
I quickly took the phone from her hand and said, "I'm Long Ling. There's a jujube mountain on the way from Huilong Village. It's the junction of our town and another town. I'll be waiting for you in front of that boundary marker."
"You take Taoist Zhang with you, I'll go and bring him back." I said to the phone word by word, "If Taoist Zhang dies, then I may never die."
There was no sound from the other end, but the poisonous insects on Taoist Zhang's body all crawled off, and then the video was cut off.
Ah Wen supported Zhang Hanzhu and asked, "Are you really going?"
"You have to go eventually. If you don't go this time, there's always next time." I glanced at Awen.
He immediately picked up Zhang Hanzhu and said, "I won't go. I still have to take care of Mr. Hu. But I can help you take care of your classmate. If you go, don't be afraid. Don't you still have Mo Xiu Snake King? He can still help you get into trouble."
When it comes to Mo Xiu, I can only smile bitterly.
Mo Xiu was truly devoted to Long Ling, and even after several reincarnations of life and death, he still stayed with her.
But I was just a trick used by my parents to stabilize Mo Xiu. They wanted the benefits that Long Ling's identity brought, but they also wanted to suppress the real Long Ling.
It would be strange if Mo Xiu wasn’t angry!
He just left in anger, and I’m afraid he won’t help me clean up the mess.
