In the middle of the night, I slept well, my sleep was shallow, and suddenly I woke up in the middle of the night because I heard the sound of someone pushing in. I was taken aback, thinking it was a lady in red, or maybe I fell into a nightmare again.
The woman in red entangled me endlessly. I opened my eyes vigilantly. There was a blackness in front of me. I couldn't tell the reality or the dream, and I was confused for a moment.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. I turned my head to look at it and let out a sigh of relief. Although I can't see my fingers, I can see that the figure that comes in is an old Taoist priest.
We used to live outside together, but since we returned to the mountain, we feel comfortable in a room for one person. Could it be that he is not used to being with people for a long time, so he comes to see me at night
I rubbed my eyes first, and then I sat up: "Old Taoist, what are you doing in my room without going to bed in the middle of the night?" I asked lazily, then stretched my waist and prepared to lie down and sleep again.
The old Taoist in front stood up straight: "Hou San, I have something to discuss with you?"
"What's the matter?" I don't know if it's because of the dark night. The voice of the old Taoist priest sounds different from the day. He took a step forward, his body stupefied and stupefied, but it was like a person sleepwalking at night. That kind of unnatural look.
The old Taoist priest may be the same as me, maybe he was half asleep and half awake, and I didn't care. While yawning, he turned on the light next to him.
I looked up at the old Taoist priest, and I was taken aback. Today's old Taoist changed his old amiable image, his expression was weird, and he looked at me with a smile.
He sat down on the edge of my bed stupidly, and said to me, "Hou San, now you follow me down the mountain!"
When he spoke, one word by one was like popping out of his mouth. I stretched out my hand and shook it in front of him. He blinked. It's normal. It doesn't look like an evil spirit. It seems that I have been thinking too much. .
It was so late, I looked out embarrassedly, it was dark, thinking of going down the mountain at this time, it would be better to lie down and sleep.
I quickly refused: "You should go alone." As I said, I wanted to fall back.
The old Taoist suddenly stretched out his hand. After he held me tightly, I wanted to fall, but I couldn't. "No!" He didn't have the slightest room for negotiation.
He had spoken very kindly before, and he had never been so overbearing. I ignored him and continued to fall back. However, the old Taoist priest was so strong that he looked at him as thin as wood, but after he caught me, my body couldn't move.
The two sides wrestled for a long time, then I had to give up and said helplessly: "Okay, then."
Anyway, if the argument goes on, I will suffer. He just said to take me down the mountain and would not say anything. I put on clothes alone and asked him: "You let me accompany you in the middle of the night. At least you should let me know what we are going to do. Right?"
The old Taoist priest didn't pay attention to me, but stared at me after putting on my clothes, and then walked out.
His body is stiff, his face is single-faced, which is not the same as the old Taoist priests I know later, he feels very strange to me, maybe it indicates that something big will happen.
How did he treat me along the way, if I doubt him, am I still a human? So, although there is a weirdness in my heart, I don't have too much doubt.
There are some drawers in the house
, The old Taoist priests will always keep some paper talisman.
Looking at the dark and faint area outside, I suddenly thought about it. While the old Taoist was walking straight forward, I grabbed a few paper talisman from the drawer, quickly inserted it into my pocket, and pretended to be serious. Go ahead.
Fortunately, all this did not let the old Taoist find out, and he was ecstatic.
When the old Taoist priest opened the door and let me go first, he suddenly asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Did I laugh? I also felt surprised. There was a glass cabinet at the door. I glanced at it. It was not just a smiling face, but still smiling. I quickly looked serious and looked serious.
The old Taoist did not ask much.
The kind of sheep-gut trail we used to walk in the past, at night, I only felt stumbling under my feet, a deep foot and a shallow foot. I hit a flashlight, but I found that the eyes of the old Taoist seem to be night-sighted.
The dark night did not hinder him in the slightest. He walked like flying, and walked half a mile without breathing, but I couldn't. He fell far behind, panting.
Although it is downhill, but after all, it is walking, and it is still a night road, can you not be tired? The old Taoist is used to night roads, but I am not.
"Old Taoist, wait for me." I kept yelling from the back along the way. Fortunately, the old Taoist still had a little conscience and would wait in front, so I was half tired of chasing and catching up along the way.
I don't know how long I have been walking. After reaching the flat ground, the old Taoist priest walked like the wind. He said very little along the way. I asked a few words before he answered.
Although I felt very sleepy, I kept on driving, driving out my sweat and drowsiness. I finally saw neon lights not far away, and bright orange street lights pouring down on the ground, bright and dazzling. Piece of.
I breathed a sigh of relief and finally came to the town.
There is no old Taoist figure in front. Although I want to speed up my pace, I have already run out of strength and moved forward step by step.
At the corner, I saw his old Taoist priest waiting for me under a street lamp. I was overjoyed and quickly walked forward. Within two steps, I panted and asked: "Old Taoist priest, we are in town. , Can I find a place to catch up again?"
I raised my head to speak to him, and wiped the sweat from my forehead.
Liao Liao, a pedestrian on the road, didn't even start sweeping the ground. I raised my wrist and the pointer only reached four o'clock. I gave a wry smile.
"Don't sleep." The old Taoist's words dispelled the last hope in my heart.
I screamed: "Then what are we going to do?"
"Hehehehe." For some reason, the old Taoist's smile just heard me get goosebumps, like the sharp laughter of metal dragging on the ground, very ear-piercing.
It turns out that the old Taoists wouldn't be like this!
I looked up in amazement, the old Taoist smiled with a weird face, his eyes were staring straight at me, watching the chill coming out of my toes.
Feeling a tight wrist, the old Taoist suddenly grabbed my hand and walked forward quickly. I stumbled behind him and couldn't help shouting:
"Are you crazy, where are you taking me? You let me go!" But the old Taoist priest didn't seem to hear my call, but went away
Faster.
While he was pulling me along, he walked through the path of the horse and walked straight to a room. I looked at it as if it had written a bun shop.
At this hour, only these hard-working people who sell early will be willing to leave the warm bed and get up and start a hard day's work.
"Bang bang bang!" The old Taoist grabbed me with one hand and knocked on the door with the other.
I was nervous: "Are you crazy?" I whispered, "They haven't cooked the buns yet. You have to wait a while even if you are hungry."
The old Taoist suddenly turned his head and glared at me with his eyes.
My heart was cold, and I immediately closed my mouth, and the small door beside the shop was opened with a bang. A man with his hands full of flour, looked at us in surprise.
Before he could speak, the old Taoist suddenly grabbed my hand and rushed in.
"Oh, slow down!" I cried from behind. The door was very narrow. I covered my face with my elbow, so I didn't hit the door.
It was full of dangdang, all the guys he sold early, and the stove, the light inside was bright and steaming, and after coming in, it smelled like a bun.
The owner of the bun shop is like a bachelor, because there is no one but him, he yelled, "Hey, who are you? Get out now, don’t sell buns now!"
However, the old Taoist priest did not hear the same thing. He pulled me straight in. I found that he was entering the kitchen inside. There was a ball of meat on the chopping board, and he must be preparing to make meat buns.
After the old Taoist stepped forward, he suddenly grabbed the sharp kitchen knife on the side. There was a cold light on the kitchen knife, and when he shook it in front of me, the handle of the knife was stuffed into my hand.
"You hold it." The old Taoist said grimly.
When he spoke, the bachelor behind was also startled. He stepped back unconsciously and didn't catch up with him, "What do you want to do?"
He looked at us anxiously, looking at us like he was looking at two lunatics, a wry smile in my heart. It is the old Taoist who is crazy today, not me.
But at this time, I couldn't speak either, because it was sticky in my hand, as if it was wet with sweat. There was flour in the sweat. The handle of the knife made me feel very uncomfortable. I wanted to let it go, but the old Taoist clung to my hand tightly.
He suddenly lifted the knife and pointed at the bachelor in front of him: "You killed him."
The face of the bachelor on the opposite side changed drastically. He stammered: "You... I have no grievances with you. Don't mess around. I'll call the police."
He originally wanted to turn around and leave, and glanced back, but he stayed still, looking back nervously at this moment.
Maybe he thinks that the two of us were robbery, if he runs away, we will take away his money, so although he is afraid in his heart, he still stays where he is.
The veteran Taoist has always taken saving people as his own duty, how could he ever let me do this kind of thing.
Seeing the bachelor’s fear, I first comforted him, pointed at the old Taoist with another finger, smiled and said to him: "Big brother, don’t worry, my family has a little problem today, we are not robbed. ."
But he didn't believe me even more when I said that. He thought we were just singing double reeds, and he still looked at me vigilantly.
"Hou San, go kill him!" A cold voice rang from behind, and even an old Taoist priest pushed me around my waist, and I couldn't help taking a step forward, "Good, good!"
