Without waiting for me to finish, Mr. Wu was so angry that he slapped a palm on the table and said sharply: "Get out! The old man has no time to mess with you!"
Upon hearing this, I was also anxious and asked him hurriedly, "What do you want? Even if you mention it, the kid will do it even if he is crushed."
As soon as he said this, Wu Lao's original angry face eased slightly, and his right hand tapped on the desktop lightly without speaking.
After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Young man, seeing that you are from a rural area, and the old man was born in a rural area, I don't want to embarrass you, but the old rules can't be broken!"
"What's the rule?" I asked hurriedly.
He stroked the white beard on his chin, frowned, did not answer my question, and asked, "How did you find the old man? How do you know that the old man can save your second uncle and the child?"
How dare I conceal it, and immediately told Wang Runxue about it.
When he heard this, his brows became tighter, "Wang Runxue?"
After thinking about it, he waved his hand and continued: "No matter where you know the old man, but now that you come to the old man's house, all this must be done in accordance with the old man's rules. So let's start with 23 Run downstairs, then run back to 23 from downstairs, the old man will tell you more."
Hearing this, I didn’t hesitate, and I immediately went out, ran downstairs in one breath, and ran back to the 23rd floor. I almost collapsed, and my speech began to get knotted, so I said: "Old Wu... , What else do you need me to do?"
He glanced at me with satisfaction and smiled: "Run again!"
I...I...I was a bit speechless, and finally understood why Lin Fan would say that it was difficult for Mr. Wu to speak. It was more than difficult to speak. It was clearly to make things difficult for others, but didn't dare to delay, and ran out immediately.
When I ran to the 23rd floor again, I only felt that a pair of feet were not my own, and I sat on the ground with one butt, and said again: "Wu...Old..., you..."
Without waiting for me to finish, Mr. Wu didn't know what was thinking of it or what was going on. He walked to my side, his face condensed, and he randomly clicked three times on my back.
With these three clicks, my whole person became extremely relaxed in an instant, which made me stare at him in surprise, and said in a trembling voice: "You..."
"Follow the old man into the house!" He stepped into the room.
I hurriedly followed, but I was very curious. This old Wu just clicked me three times. It seemed ordinary, but I could clearly feel that the whole person was relaxed. The previous fatigue was even more so. Was swept away.
After entering the house, what surprised me was that Mr. Wu’s attitude changed drastically. First he invited me to his study, then he made me a cup of tea, and finally he said to me with satisfaction: "Yes, now like It's rare to see a guy like you who is honest."
I gave a smirk. If he guessed correctly, his old man was trying to test me just now, and he was about to speak, when he heard Mr. Wu continue to say: "The two things you said earlier, regarding your second uncle’s matter, the old man can only give it away. In a word, the possibility of a complete cure is almost zero. Even if the old man takes action, he can only control the deterioration of his condition and let him enjoy the life of a normal person. Otherwise, within a year, your second uncle will be exhausted and die. With regard to that child, the old man can completely heal him."
My brows wrinkled. My second uncle has been paralyzed in sex for years, and hasn't seen any deterioration. It can even be said that it has been like a day for ten years. How come to Wu Lao’s mouth, but he will be exhausted within a year. , You know, I came to Wu Lao to let his old man cure his second uncle.
I asked the doubts in my heart.
The old man Wu told me that there were two reasons why my second uncle was paralyzed in bed. One was retribution, which caused the five-element qi in the body to begin to drain, which would make the bones under his body extremely brittle. , Second, the second uncle may have done something unsightly, otherwise, it would also be retribution. Why did my father just break a finger while the second uncle was paralyzed.
As for why the second uncle has been ten years like a day in these years, Wu Lao explained that everyone is born by the yin and yang and five elements of the universe. Once the five elements of the human body are lost, it is the time of death. The rate of loss of qi is generally 19 years, and it is bound to be exhausted. It may be because the second uncle’s situation is a bit special, and this has only happened for ten years.
What he said made me nervous, so I asked him: "You mean my father will die at that time?"
He nodded and said: "In theory, this is indeed the case. As the folks often say, it is not that it is not reported. The hour has not arrived. This hour refers to the hour when the energy of the five elements in the body is exhausted."
I seemed to understand, but I completely believed what he said. I felt that this old Wu analysis made sense. I heard my mother say that since I was born, my father's body and bones have also been much worse than before. , The whole body is even more exhausted. Sometimes, if you bump a little bit, you will feel extremely painful to the bones of the whole body. This situation should be the loss of the energy of the five elements that Wu Lao said.
But he said that my second uncle has done things that are not visible, which makes me disagree. I know the character of the second uncle too well. A typical good old person, how can he do things that are not visible.
I asked him if he was wrong in inference.
He smiled and said: "Young man, knowing people, knowing each other, knowing the face, and not knowing the heart. From everything you just said, the old man can only infer this. Of course, it is also possible that you have missed something, which caused the old man to make a wrong inference. , All of this has to wait for the old man to see your second uncle and your father to make a conclusion."
After that, he slowly got up, as if he didn't want to say anything more about this matter, he turned off the topic, smiled and asked me: "From what you said earlier, you should be a ghostmaker, right?"
I hummed and said truthfully: "I joined the trade last year."
He smiled and said: "There is a difficult thing under the old man. I want to ask the ghostsmith for a favor. If you can help the old man, in exchange, the old man will go to Hengyang with you."
When I heard that, I was a little reluctant. This was not because I was unwilling to help him. It was because Ge Yao’s younger brother was in a bit anxious situation. I was afraid that something would happen if I delay it. As for my second uncle and my father, there is still a year left. Anxious, just said: "My friend's brother is a bit anxious, can you..."
Without waiting for me to finish, he stopped saying: "You don't have to worry about this, the old man will know in his heart naturally, the old man will ask you a word, are you willing to help the old man with this favor."
Without even thinking about it, I said hurriedly: "You said, the kid will go all out."
He stroked the beard of his chin and smiled: "If this is the case, you will go to the countryside with the old in the afternoon."
I hummed, and quickly accepted, but still a little curious in my heart, I asked the old man how sure he was about the second uncle and father's affairs, he said eighty points.
This made me respectful. As a ghostmaker, I know that the longer some things are, the lower the certainty, but Wu Lao dare to say that he has eight points, which shows his ability.
But I still have some doubts in my heart. If even Lao Wu can't solve it, will it be useful to go to me
With this kind of doubt, I stayed at Wu's home until the afternoon, about two o'clock in the afternoon. Old Wu asked me to bring my tools and led me out directly.
