The family that was involved in weird things was named Zhao. It has been a year since the strange things happened to the Zhao family. Everyone in the village knew about it. The first person to have trouble was Mr. Zhao. Something grabbed his neck in the middle of the night. He almost suffocated to death. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhao, who was sleeping next to her, was alert and woke up when she heard something was wrong with the old man's breathing.
Then there was the girl from the Zhao family. When she was sleeping, she always felt that there was someone next to her, and she stretched out her furry hands to touch her face, but when she opened her eyes, there was nothing there. This was still a small thing, but later The girl began to have nightmares. In the dream, she always saw a man smiling with his back to her. After laughing, he would punch and kick her in the dream. He still couldn't see his face clearly.
What’s even more strange is that she was beaten in her dream, but when she woke up, she had bruises on her body, which made the Zhao girl afraid to sleep. This thing is strange, and it’s not scary. What’s scary is that once The Zhao girl finally saw the 'person's' face clearly in her dream, but it was a face with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a furry face.
How terrible is that? Human body, monster face! The Zhao girl was almost frightened out of her mind, and she finally recovered after taking several soothing medicines.
To say that these encounters are all ok, the most serious situation is that of the Zhao family's young master, who has gone 'crazy'.
He was in a trance all day, talking to himself, and his expression was even more obsessed. When asked, he said that he had fallen in love with a girl named Wang Shu and was talking to that girl.
But where can people see anyone? The young man was so anxious that he began to curse and even raised a knife, saying that people wanted to harm him, and more importantly, Wang Shu.
Gradually, the servants no longer dared to stay in the Zhao family. They were so scared that if the Zhao family hadn't been so kind, all of them would have gone away.
What is even more sad is that the Zhao family only has one son and one daughter. Seeing that the son is going crazy and the daughter is getting haggard, there is no way to stop it. Move, this is the ancestral property. How could we abandon our homeland and abandon the filial piety at that time? If the ancestral property is elsewhere, how can we make a living without the land
The Zhao family seems to be forced into a desperate situation! !
But after all, the Zhao family is still a well-known person in the village, and they still have some connections, especially Mr. Zhao has a cousin who is a figure in the city and is well-informed. Under his management, the Zhao family finally invited Here come these three people.
It was said that three people were invited, but in fact, only the old man among the three people was invited. The two young men were said to be his apprentices.
The old man, Mrs. Zhao, heard from his cousin that despite his low reputation, ordinary appearance, and sloppy clothes, there are many real noble people who know that he is a person with real ability, and a person with great ability.
The old man's surname was Li, but his name was very strange, Yiguang. At that time, names were somewhat particular. This light, Yiguang implied that everything was wiped away. Didn't it mean that nothing was left
Moreover, the old man liked others to call him Lao Li, just like a servant, but he was well-spoken.
"When you are young, you are called Xiao Li, when you are middle-aged, you are called Da Li, and when you are old, you are called Lao Li. This is the most authentic title, and it is also the law of life. Don't talk about respect and respect. They are all empty words. .”
Lao Li is a weirdo. He won't make a move easily. Every time he makes a move, he must have at least two 'little yellow croakers'. No matter how prominent or wealthy the person is in the city, he won't give him any face. He will just ask for more price. Sorry, more money!
Therefore, Mrs. Zhao's cousin said: "No one is important, so don't care too much about money and things."
Mr. Zhao also made a promise to Mr. Li face to face: "As long as I can save people, I won't hesitate to bankrupt my family."
That old Li just drank tea but didn't answer.
It is said that on the first day when Lao Li came to the village, after having lunch at the Zhao family, he went to wander around the village. He did not do anything else but chatted here and there and got to know the Zhao family. On this day, they did not Meet my master.
That night, Lao Li stayed at the Zhao family. The strange thing was that nothing strange happened in the Zhao family that night. Even the young master of the Zhao family, who was always not very sober and was too busy talking about love and not thinking about food and drinks, was shocked. A little bit more normal.
He stopped talking to himself. Although he was still in a daze, he even ate a bowl of dry rice. This was something he had never done since he fell in love. In those days, he was extremely hungry and his family forced him to do so. For those who eat, the most they eat is half a bowl of porridge and rice.
There is another detail in the middle, which was told by the servant of the Zhao family, that is, after Mr. Zhao finished eating, Lao Li grabbed Mr. Zhao, sniffed him hard, and then said: "This whole body smells bad, go and wash it off."
Mr. Zhao almost fell out with these words on the spot. If Mr. Zhao hadn't persuaded him to stop him, he would have picked up the knife and cursed people again.
In the end, Mr. Zhao walked away, but Lao Li didn't take it seriously. He just said to Mr. Zhao: "I know what caused the trouble. I will help you get things done tomorrow. It's just a small thing! Just prepare the reward. It’s unreasonable not to receive payment for this matter.”
Of course, he also muttered in a low voice: "Speaking of which, it's fate that I'm here. I have to come, I have to come."
But no one thinks deeply about it. These capable people are very talkative and talk about fate wherever they go.
My master showed up the next day. He helped people in the village herd cattle, and the biggest customers among them were the Zhao family. On this morning, he went to pick up the cattle for herding. This was his daily errand.
The servants of the Zhao family were already familiar with my master, and after letting him in, they said to him: "Today a 'mage' is here to do magic to drive away demons. You can go out with the cow later. What formations did the 'mage' set up?" You can only enter but not exit, so why don’t you just watch the excitement.”
Although the master is precocious, he is still a child after all, and some children are unavoidable in their temperament. As soon as he heard that there was something fun to watch, of course he went to watch it.
The Zhao family was modest, and the housekeeper brought the cowherd boy in without saying much. Everyone's minds were focused on Lao Li, and they all looked nervous. Except for Lao Li's two apprentices, they just looked calm. chatting.
At this time, Lao Li was walking around in Zhao's yard, squatting down to draw a few strokes from time to time, and throwing stones from time to time. His demeanor was relaxed and calm, which was obviously inversely proportional to people's nervousness.
Old Li was walking around, but my master didn't notice him at the first time. Instead, he noticed the two young men. The two young men had handsome features, neat clothes, and an indescribable bookishness in every move they made, giving them the impression of erudition. It's hard for people who see them to feel bad about them anyway.
When the master looked at them, the two young men looked at each other inadvertently. The younger one just smiled slightly, nodded politely and turned away, while the older one just smiled. After staring at the master for a long time, his lips even moved.
Those who were closer could hear the young man let out a soft "Eh". He looked at my master for a long time and wanted to take a step over to me several times, but he hesitated for a long time with confused eyes and did not move.
On the other hand, Lao Li was in the yard, wandering around the room, and came to my master's side. He saw my master at a glance.
This look was not special, especially when he saw my master, he said "huh" just like his apprentice. The difference was that his apprentice's eyes were full of confusion, but his eyes were full of surprise.
He pulled my master over. My master was shocked and started struggling immediately.
After a day's contact with Lao Li, Mr. Zhao also knew that this man had no beginning or end in his words and actions, and he never explained. He quickly reassured my master: "Don't panic, Jiang Xiao'er. He is not a bad person. Don't move around. He He is a capable person.”
My master respects Mr. Zhao. When he heard what Mr. Zhao said, he calmed down. Old Li didn’t say much. He stared at my master for a long time, and then even more outrageously, he groped him up and down. For a long time, I didn’t know what I was touching.
In the end, he nodded happily and said to the master, "What's your name?"
"My name is Jiang Xiao'er, I don't have a name yet." Because of Mr. Zhao's face, my master answered politely.
"Oh, his adoptive father's surname is Jiang. We all call him Jiang Xiaoer, but he didn't give him a name." Mr. Zhao explained at the side.
"Where do you live?" Lao Li just asked the master as if he had not heard Mr. Zhao speak at all.
The master still answered politely, but Lao Li excitedly hugged the master, touched his head fiercely, and said: "It's you, there's no mistake, it's you!"
