Su Si is very good at dealing with villagers. He was a little bit surprised or frightened, but he kept smiling, making Ding Deng very happy.
After putting away the clothes and closing the door, Su Si's expression turned solemn: "It turns out they really like Master Shi. I've been in the village for half a month, and I've never heard anyone say this."
Shi Jingzhi frowned: "I have never heard of such symptoms. Little brother Su, have you encountered any other strange things in the short month you have been here?"
"Believe me, this is definitely not a good place." Su Si played with the knife carelessly. "The weather, cold and warm, dry and wet wind, has changed a little bit in half a month. What's even more frightening is, what do they want me to do?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Qing's expression gradually became confused.
Su Si casually threw the knife on the table and used his hands to pull Yan Qing's face: "Sister, during the two years we lived together, I should have let you go out on the streets more - there is no one like you in the world. The only way to force a pie into your mouth is to rob your wife, not your father!"
Shi Jingzhi tried to smooth things over: "Forcing people to come and not allowing them to leave, and not seeking wealth, can only lead to death."
Yan Qing suddenly realized.
"The Taiheng family has a clean and upright style. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. The child is stupid because of the lack of food." Su Si let go of his hand and said worriedly.
Everyone has limited information, and they cannot make far-sighted decisions based on thin air. After casual conversation for a while, it was lunch time. Shi Jingzhi's performance was brilliant, and Yin Ci was a fish on the table.
Su Si moved his chopsticks: "My dear, can you still go back to Taiheng? From what you said, Senior Shi seems to be angry with you, why don't you change your identity... You two, I'm not talking about Dry Mountain. The pie is not good. But as you can see, my brother is just a piece of wood and cannot withstand the wind and waves."
Yan Qing lowered his eyes: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back."
Su Si shook his head: "Forget it, I won't come back if you don't come back. When I become a hero, I will protect you. How about this, when you leave here, you follow me..."
Seeing the master and apprentice starting to eat, Su Si picked up the fish meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
"I'll go with you." After eating the fish and meat, Su Si changed his words seriously. "Being realistic, a hero must come step by step. Master Shi, is your Kushan Sect still short of people?"
Shi Jingzhi: "..."
Shi Jingzhi: "I'm ashamed to say it, but I'm short of money."
"Anyone who doesn't have money is a foreigner. I still have some silver in my hand, so I can just take care of the food." Su Si was enthusiastic.
Yin Ci glanced at him and suddenly interrupted: "What will Brother Su do?"
"ah?"
"Master doesn't accept disciples, so you can only be a servant. Yan Qing is good at chores, and I can hunt and make food. Brother Su plans to...?"
Su Si scratched his head for a while: "I can lend it to you, right?"
Got it, Yin Ci thought to himself. If the goose demon has really amazing intuition, he will be able to catch it when looking for meat.
With his heart in mind, he turned his head and glanced at Shi Jingzhi. Unexpectedly, the master was looking at him lovingly, his eyes so soft that it made people's skin crawl.
Yin Ci almost choked on the fish soup.
"Aci, eat slowly." Shi Jingzhi patted him on the back.
Shi Jingzhi still loves this apprentice more than he is wary.
Before going to the ghost tomb, he asked Shen Zhu to check everyone clearly. On the way, Shi Jingzhi was afraid of returning, but he also secretly observed everyone. If someone took over the identity of , he should have found out the clues. But he didn't.
He also fought against the man in clothes. Judging from the bones, the man in the suit was only about twenty. After passing the level, there were finally dozens of people left, and the area shrank even smaller. He still found it.
And the only one he found out was Yin Ci. It's just that he tried again, but Yin Ci was as immovable as a mountain, so he finally came to a conclusion.
So he took the best of both worlds - put a layer of window paper between the two of them, and then shelved the matter. The phrase "don't care about personal matters" is true. Regardless of whether Yin Ci is a good person or not, it will not hurt the harmony.
Apart from these, Yin Ci is a perfect apprentice, caring and sensible, and also a good cook. If ordinary people were involved in these strange things, they would have a lot of resentment in their hearts. Yin Ci not only complained at all, but also provoked Su Si who joined.
Shi Jingzhi inexplicably remembered the cat he had secretly raised when he was young.
The cat is extremely territorial and loves to hiss and breathe at anything unfamiliar. Other than that, it's pretty easy to pet. This is just darkness in front of me, but it seems to be that important.
Shi Jingzhi was thinking wildly, and the fish balls burned the tip of his tongue. Before he could speak, Yin Ci pushed a glass of cold water over to him.
Ruo Kushan's meeting was really God's will, and God's will was quite gentle to him this time.
When he was full of wine and food, he pulled the clear silver bamboo pole against the cold silk and linen cloth and sighed.
Su Si was eager to prove that he was worthy. He still swallowed the fish in his mouth, and his words were already full of enthusiasm: "Master Shi, what are you worried about?"
"The previous flag is broken, I'll make a new one. Bringing just a bamboo pole to the banquet at night will only arouse suspicion."
Shi Jingzhi picked up the ashes from the stove and wrote four vigorous characters: "The medicine will cure the disease", and then he fell into depression.
"There must be an embroiderer in this village. But I don't feel comfortable leaving the things with you. It's not convenient for an outsider to come in and talk. Little brother Su, do you have any ideas?"
"There is needle and thread here... But I can only do patching, but I can't do embroidery. I would like to bring a kitchen knife with me from time to time, just carry it in my pocket."
More suspicious, okay? Shi Jingzhi shook his head firmly.
After Su Silihulu finished the fish soup, he burped loudly: "Then I have a solution. There are only four grown men here, who would have enough time to practice embroidery."
Yin Ci's expression: "I can."
Su Si: "... cooking and embroidering clothes. Brother, are you really his apprentice, not his wife?"
Yin Ci didn't bother to argue with his junior: "I just happen to know a little bit."
It's not that he likes it, he just wants to chat and do all kinds of time-killing crafts in the world. Even if Shi Jingzhi wants to eat candy paintings now, he can still show off the twelve zodiac signs on the spot.
Yin Ci, despite his stunned master, took the bamboo pole and cloth and carefully sewed the flag. After a while, the prototype of the flag was formed, which was much more beautiful than the previous one.
Shi Jingzhi was deeply moved: "Aci, if you are my son, with these skills alone, you will definitely marry into a good family."
Yin Ci raised his eyelids coldly: "Master, what words are you going to embroider on this flag? I , 'medicine can cure life', right?"
Shi Jingzhi suddenly sighed, not daring to say another word.
In less than half an hour, the flag was embroidered. Yin Ci's stitching is fine and neat, the handwriting on the flag is clear and full, and the fabric is crisp. When Jingzhi hung up the jade pendant, he rubbed his face against the flag, obviously liking it very much.
Su Si turned to Yan Qing: "Sir, I thought you liked doing housework enough, but there is someone in this world who is more crazy than you... You can't admit defeat!"
Yan Qing: "???"
Yin Ci took advantage of everyone's commotion to sneak up to Grandpa and try to touch it. If this goose demon's intuition is really strong enough, it might be able to help him find a way out. Although he despises this beast, it is necessary to establish a good relationship with him.
Unexpectedly, I stared at him with round black eyes, and the two fleshy tentacles on his head slowly stood up. It opened its mouth towards Yin Ci, revealing a mouth full of fine teeth.
Yin Ci continued to stretch out his hand - he was trying to conquer the demon, but this thing still dared to twist him
It turns out it's really brave.
Master slowly bit Yin Ci’s hand and twisted it. It hugged him unyieldingly, as if in demonstration. Yin Ci was helpless, so he had to open the goose's mouth and withdraw his hand.
That’s all, the days are long.
Night falls quickly.
The four of them changed into their usual village attire and followed the lantern to the banquet. Considering the occasion, it was easy for him to be treated as a side dish, so they could only keep him at home.
The banquet was held in the open space next to the village, with a round table in the middle. The four of them and the four members of Deng Deng's family gathered together at the table. There were sumptuous dishes on the table and there was laughter and laughter all around. If it weren't for the fact that someone was dead, this scene would be no different from a wedding banquet in the countryside.
The four of us ate quite a lot at noon, but now we don’t use chopsticks very much.
The only reason they lead the light is that they are cautious. She put down the spoon she was feeding her sister, smiled at Shi Jingzhi and said, "Brother, from now on, the whole village is a family, so don't be so open to outsiders."
"Yes, this banquet is partly for you. It has been a long time since we had a new guest come to the village, and everyone is very happy." The mother who led the lamp also added softly. "We are coming tonight. This is a big deal."
Shi Jingzhi: "?"
"The immortal in the village!" Yidian said crisply, "Ama once said that Mr. has been here for more than fifty years and usually doesn't see people. But if there are children in the village, or outside, When new people come, she will come to greet them.”
Yin Ci sucked the tip of his chopsticks with great interest. Everyone at the banquet was completely transparent. He was much more comfortable than Shi Jingzhi, who was the center of attention, and could roam around.
appeared as scheduled after the banquet.
She was born very beautiful, and she looked less than ten years old. She was wearing a casual light green dress, her black hair was pulled into a bun, and she wore a jade rocker.
She just walked through the lively banquet, and half of the smoke and smoke around her dissipated instantly. The villagers did not dare to touch , and only had reverence and obsession in their eyes.
… Is it immortal
Yin Ci didn't feel anything special about the other party.
Stopping in front of Shi Jingzhi, she looked at him carefully, showing some satisfaction. As a result, before she could speak, a person rushed over from beside her.
She hurriedly knelt down, held the corner of 's clothes, and said, "Sir , can you make an exception and let Liu come back and stay with me for another two years? I know that ascending to immortality is a good thing, but... But… "
"Aunt Liu, what are you doing!" Ding Deng's father shouted, "Elixirs cannot be given to ordinary people. Have you forgotten the rules?"
Aunt Liu was half naked, but there was still a young man's sadness in her eyes: "Liu left too early. I suddenly asked him to drink broth at noon, and he went to cut it..."
Ying Deng couldn't understand the sadness behind the words: "That's because Uncle Liu was not careful. Besides, becoming an immortal is not a bad thing in the first place."
Aunt Liu just cried.
Feeling annoyed, she gently helped Aunt Liu up: "After all, it's a separation between life and death, so it's normal to not get used to it. The banquet is too noisy, so you should go home and rest for a while."
He has a gentle and gentle appearance, with a somewhat compassionate Bodhisattva temperament. With a smile on her face, Aunt Liu gradually stopped crying and nodded blankly.
She stood up, bowed to him, and staggered back. As a result, just halfway through, she suddenly fell to the ground and made a deep gash on her palm.
Shi Jing subconsciously touched the medicine box.
"It doesn't matter, she will become an immortal too." Ying Deng said loudly.
Aunt Liu shrank on the ground. She sat there in a daze, as if she didn't react. A large amount of blood surged from her palms and seeped into the ground.
Shi Jingzhi stood up regardless and went over to bandage her. Aunt Liu was like an unconscious doll, motionless, letting Shi Jingzhi clean the wound and apply ointment.
"Aunt Liu, go home and get ready. You don't have long left..." Someone next to her said to her.
"She comes with us, and I'll treat her." Shi Jingzhi interrupted, "This injury is not a big deal, no one should die."
said with great interest: "It doesn't matter, whoever wants to adapt to , let him go. He will definitely come to me in a few days."
Yin Ci stared at , and he vaguely noticed something.
In that brief moment, he felt the breath of the spell on his body. Aunt Liu's fall just now was not accidental, but deliberate.
Shi Jingzhi's performance also surprised him.
Even though his master is not evil, he still has a lot of kindness. Shi Jingzhi had reached the limit of treating Aunt Liu's wounds, so reason brought her back. But this is convenient for Yin Ci - if he finds out the secret of why the villagers die so easily, he might be able to test it on himself.
Shi Jingzhi: "Yan Qing, carry Aunt Liu on your back, let's go."
"Master, why do you want to take her back?"
Shi Jingzhi looked at Yin Ci with burning eyes for a while and said softly: "You know that my teacher is not in good health."
"yes."
"Aunt Liu's pulse condition is quite similar to that of my teacher."
