Tianwei Chapter 224: Strange Things (2)
The only good news during this period of time is that the little beauty's mood has gradually stabilized. Compared with her previous rude style, she is now like a spring breeze. Quietly and quietly, occasionally making you feel the bleakness of winter, but that is just unintentionally emitted.
She is very beautiful. Once she calms down, purses her small rosy lips, holds her chin, and faces the window with her delicate face, which looks a little pale because she hasn't been out for a long time, you will feel like you are looking at a perfect work of art.
Occasionally I would walk with her on the street outside, but only on the street in front of the house. She no longer liked the busy and modern streets, saying that they were unfamiliar and scary. Even on this old street, she would often subconsciously hide behind me, carefully, with her head down, and walking lightly on tiptoe. It seemed that she was afraid that if she made a little louder noise, she would not only scare others, but also herself.
Such a girl is undoubtedly lovable, because men are born with a desire to protect.
But every time I see such a beautiful girl, I always think of Liao Xianer.
Is the woman who fought with Old Liao in Kunlun against the ancient witch doctor and snatched the elixir of immortality really the Liao Xianer I know?
Until now, I still hope not.
There was no news from Jiuqiu, who had been moved out of the imperial platform. After the cult ascended to heaven, the world seemed to be quiet. Even the old man from Yuanling had nothing to do every day, just sitting next to the old man and basking in the sun. Yang Zongxu was just destined to carry wine and buy vegetables.
I never saw Liu Yi and his gang again, and I don’t know how the old man Yuanling taught his disciples.
The person who worries me the most is the Taoist priest, because he is eerily quiet every day. Except when I can see him during meals, his door is locked at other times.
He said he was cultivating, but I knew he didn't have much time left. In such a short time, he didn't go to find his junior brother, but stayed with the old man Yuanling, which was obviously abnormal.
Could it be depression? I wondered.
Without the cult, I was too embarrassed to ask for information, and knew nothing about the fight between my mother and Jiuqiu. Occasionally I thought of using Taoist magic to investigate, but I could only see a blur.
Damn it, eating meat every day, eating meat every day! Bring me some wild vegetables, are you feeding me like a tiger or a leopard? The old man from Yuanling started yelling in the yard again.
Yang Zongxu's aggrieved voice followed: "I can't help it. Now every household has put away their vegetables. No one is willing to sell them. The streets are full of meat. The cheap ones are like free gifts. Otherwise, I will go to the city to buy some."
Forget it, just make do with what you have. Damn, this is so weird, why did they all die for no reason? The old man from Yuanling cursed angrily.
I looked at the table, where there was a plate of chicken and a plate of braised pork. This thing really made me vomit. Although the little beauty was not as cheerful as before, she still couldn't help frowning at eating the same thing every day.
At this time, a small figure appeared outside the window. The little beauty handed the plate over without saying anything: Eat it.
The little boy took it and ate the food with a smile on his face. I saw him eating with relish, but I felt my stomach churning.
Eat slowly, no one is competing with you for food, why do you seem to be hungry every day? The little beauty said while lying on the table.
Are you hungry... The little boy replied with two words and lowered his head to eat.
A few minutes later, he handed back the empty plate and asked, "Big sister, when will you come with me to get the things?"
The beautiful girl looked at him, suddenly laughed and said: Wait until you tell me what that thing is.
The little boy's face immediately wrinkled and he said, "I don't know either. The uncle in the dream didn't tell me. Oh, but it doesn't matter. The uncle said it's okay to take the things or not. I can take them by myself in the future. I just need to follow my big sister all the time."
Haha, okay. The little beauty laughed, but then sighed.
I know she is thinking about the old woman and the dead Du Shengmai people again. This kind of knot in her heart cannot be untied by others. Now I can only help her change the subject: Little guy, are you going to be busy again after dinner?
The little boy had become familiar with me over the past few days, and he immediately looked at me and nodded: Yes, I’m very busy!
Oh, what are you busy with? I asked.
Let’s eat, said the little boy.
I couldn't help but burst into laughter. Eating can be considered a chore. I wonder how busy it is.
You really can eat a lot, I said with a smile, and then looked at him again. Suddenly I felt that this guy seemed to be much bigger than when I saw him last time.
It seems that your food is good. After eating here, you go to other places to eat. You even grow taller. I said.
Hey, I'm hungry. The little boy touched his stomach with a smile, his clothes were still dirty, as if he hadn't changed for many days. I asked the Taoist priest for some money to buy him clothes, but they were worn out again that day, which almost made me angry to death.
But this child is very smart. His hair is long and falls on his forehead. It is jet black and looks like it is flashing black light in the sunlight. If you look closely at his eyes, you will find that they are big and bright. His whole face looks quirky and cute. This is why he comes every day and no one drives him away.
After chatting with us for a few more sentences, he waved his hand and said: Uncle, goodbye big sister, I have to go out and get busy!
Go ahead, be careful. I waved at him.
I am very capable, because I will protect my big sister in the future! The little boy laughed and turned and ran away.
I touched my nose, thinking that I was really a brat, knowing how to pick up girls at such a young age. When I was this age... well, I might have been beaten by my cousin and had to run around everywhere?
Isn't it cute? The little beauty suddenly said, she turned her head to look at me and asked curiously: Were you like this when you were a child?
Which?
When you meet a beautiful woman, say you want to protect her.
Uh, I don’t think so… I said hesitantly.
Really not?
Well, no! I said it with certainty. I couldn't let this girl think that I have been a playboy since I was a child.
What a bad man! The little beauty turned back.
I rolled my eyes at this. Do men have to protect beautiful women from a young age? Then what is the point of Superman, Ultraman, and Black Cat Sheriff?
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the room. I walked over and opened it, only to see the old Taoist standing there.
I'll go out for a while, he said, glancing into the room.
Got it, when will you be back? I asked.
have no idea.
Uh, what are you doing?
The old Taoist was silent for two seconds, shook his head and said: I'll tell you when I come back.
I hummed. Anyway, the cult no longer exists, and the Taoist priest will not kill anyone if he goes out. Although I was curious about his sudden departure, I still didn't ask more questions.
After the old Taoist took another look into the room, he turned and walked toward the yard, probably to say something to the old man from Yuanling. Looking at his back, I couldn't help but guess that this old man came to tell me that he was going out, because he actually wanted to take a look at the little beauty. People get more stubborn as they get older. If you want to see, just say so.
What happened? The little beauty came over, looked at the old Taoist priest in the yard, and asked: What is he going to do?
I don’t know, it shouldn’t be a big deal, don’t worry, I said.
The beautiful girl hummed, looked at me twice more, and then walked back. The relationship between these two people is much better than before. Time can change many things, and I am very grateful for this.
Afterwards, the Taoist priest left and everything returned to normal.
The next morning, the Taoist priest still hadn't come back. I wanted to use Taoist magic to investigate, but I felt that it would be an invasion of privacy. After thinking about it, I decided to wait a little longer.
The street outside was noisy. I walked to the yard and saw Yang Zongxu carrying wine and food, talking to an old man from Yuanling. When I walked over, I heard Yang Zongxu say with a sad face: This time, more and more animals are dying. I heard that the experts invited from the province couldn't find the reason. But I went to a house to check and found something strange. The skin and flesh of these animals are atrophied, and their spirits are dissipated...
It seems that some ghosts have appeared in this place again. The old man from Yuanling snorted and said: It is really strange that someone dares to come here to cause trouble.
This kind of ghost thing hasn't happened for decades, how could it suddenly appear? Yang Zongxu said.
It might be caused by that lock, anyway, I can't explain it clearly. But since it disturbs the neighbors here, just go ahead and check it out. What kind of experts are these? They can't find out anything about the loss of vital energy! The old man from Yuanling said unhappily: By the way, has your elder brother sent any message recently?
Uh, no, I'm doing research recently and seem to be quite busy, Yang Zongxu said.
This little bastard. The old man from Yuanling spat.
I'll ask him to call you later...
Fuck! The old man from Yuanling cursed: I want to believe it! Damn, you don’t even have the time to write a letter. If I had known that I would…
Hmm? The old man lying in the rocking chair made an indistinct sound.
The old man from Yuanling's face changed, he quickly turned around and laughed, saying: Okay, okay, I know you love your precious grandson, but I am your apprentice after all, can't I teach my own son a lesson?
The old man in the rocking chair groaned and said nothing. The old man from Yuanling waved his hand at Yang Zongxu with a depressed look on his face: Go, go, go, do what you need to do, and quickly pull out that thing.
I was laughing as I listened, and when I saw Yang Zongxu turning around to leave, I quickly chased after him and asked: Brother Yang, where are you going?
Go check on those animals, otherwise we will really have to eat meat in the future. Oh, maybe we won’t even be able to eat meat. The group of experts couldn’t find the cause and said that they might have been infected with some unknown virus. It might be dangerous for people to eat it. They are going to quarantine all the animals in the county and burn all the dead ones .
It was so serious. I was a little surprised and said quickly: "Then take me with you, I am almost suffocated."
Hmm...Yang Zongxu looked at me and nodded: Okay, come with me.
We walked out of the door side by side, and not far away we turned into a house. Before we entered the door, we heard someone crying: Who the hell killed my dog! How can I live like this!
I felt extremely ashamed when I heard this, and an image of a middle-aged woman sitting on the ground, flapping her legs, crying and cursing automatically popped up in my mind.
