The moment Master Liu opened the box, I subconsciously felt that it should be You Xiaoqing's little green snake. When I reached out to look, Master Liu covered the box again, and then quickly put it in myself. pocket.
I was very upset because I didn't get the things inside, so I said to Master Liu: "Foster father, how can you steal other people's things?"
Master Liu stretched out his hand on my head and said, "What are you scared of, look around carefully to see if there is anything unusual."
After I said "oh", I started flipping around casually. Master Liu looked up at the roof again. After finding no other clues, he took me out of the room.
At the door of the room, You Xiaoqing's mother came over and asked Master Liu, "Master, do you have any news about my daughter?"
Master Liu did not answer You Xiaoqing's mother's question. Instead, he took out the small gold-rimmed box in his pocket and asked You Xiaoqing's mother, "Is this box your daughter's?"
You Xiaoqing's mother nodded and said yes.
Master Liu continued to ask, "Where did this box come from?"
You Xiaoqing's mother thought about it and said, "I can't remember this, but it seems that when my daughter and I went down to the ground, she picked it up on the ground. She liked me and didn't ask any more questions. Take it with you, like a baby, why master, is there something wrong with this box?"
Master Liu nodded and said, "The problem is big, can you tell me where this box was picked up? Can you take me there now?"
You Xiaoqing's mother quickly agreed, and while eager to show us the way, she asked Master Liu what was wrong with the box.
Master Liu said, "This box is a 'yin vessel', a vessel used by alchemists in ancient times to raise 'yin spirits', because Yin spirits will be trained into medicinal pills in the future, so their grievances are generally heavier. , the vessel it has been in will also be accompanied by strong resentment."
You Xiaoqing's mother was so frightened that she was speechless, and after a long trembling, she asked, "Did my daughter be taken away by the things inside?"
Master Liu shook his head and said, "I can't be sure now, because the things that live here are no longer there."
I kept listening to the conversation between Master Liu and You Xiaoqing's mother, and I interjected, saying that You Xiaoqing was definitely not taken away by the little snake inside, because she and it are good friends.
Master Liu took a deep breath and said to You Xiaoqing's mother, "You can give me your daughter's birthday in a while. If she is still alive, I should be able to figure out her current location based on the hints in this box."
You Xiaoqing's mother hurriedly explained You Xiaoqing's birth date to Master Liu. After listening, Master Liu said, "You remember it quite clearly."
You Xiaoqing's mother said, "To be honest, Master, my family has invited a few gentlemen to visit recently. One of the masters asked me for the birth date, so I remember it clearly."
Master Liu asked casually, "What did that gentleman see?"
You Xiaoqing's mother said: "The gentleman said, I don't need to worry, my daughter is still here, and with the help of noble people in numerology, it will definitely turn bad luck into good luck."
Hearing this, Master Liu couldn't help but paused: "On the basis of the birth date, you can deduce the vitality of your daughter, and you can also speculate on the secrets behind. It seems that you have met a master of physiognomy. There are not many people, which old guy would be idle here?"
Hearing this, I was also curious about what Master Liu said. As soon as I was about to ask questions, Master Liu said to me directly: "Shut up!"
"I..." I had to swallow my words.
Zhao Jie pushed me aside and said, "Look at how smart I am, I don't even talk."
We went uphill along a dirt road behind You Xiaoqing's house. After walking for less than ten minutes, we went down to the mountain col. There is a stream in the mountain, and there are flat vegetable fields on both sides of the mountain. There are cucumbers, tomatoes and beans. What.
You Xiaoqing's mother pointed at the vegetable field and said, "It's right here, this vegetable field is our own. When I brought Xiaoqing to pick vegetables, she picked it up. How old was she at that time? I can't remember, it's very small anyway."
Master Liu circled the vegetable field twice, and then led us to the hillside. Then he pointed to the rows of houses down the hill and said, "Is there a school there?"
It was also the first time that Zhao Jie and I stood behind the school, and we almost didn't recognize it for a while, while You Xiaoqing's mother said directly, "Yes, that's the primary school in our village."
Master Liu took a deep breath and said two words: "God's Will!"
You Xiaoqing's mother asked Master Liu what God's will was, and Master Liu said, "Okay, your daughter is still alive, and I will try to save her back, but before that, I asked about you and asked you about it. You can't tell anyone, including your family, what I've said, or I won't care if the secret will be broken and you won't be able to save your daughter."
You Xiaoqing's mother hurriedly promised not to tell anyone, and then she did not forget to tell Zhao Jie and me not to talk nonsense, and even promised to buy us candy.
It's a pity that Zhao Jie and I have passed the age of being bought by Tang, but we still won't talk nonsense about this.
We went straight down the slope and entered the school, while Master Liu told You Xiaoqing's mother to go home first.
It's summer vacation now, and the school is very deserted. When we walked near the school, Zhao Jie and I also felt that our hair was standing on end, so I asked Master Liu, "Father, what are we doing here?"
Master Liu said, "Look for You Xiaoqing!"
Zhao Jie and I were taken aback, and I asked Master Liu, "Father, what are you talking about, we have been studying here for so long, how can You Xiaoqing be here? Wasn't she taken away by a big white worm? ?"
Master Liu said: "I told you, but you don't understand. There is a large tomb under your school, and You Xiaoqing is estimated to be inside."
"Grave" means cemetery. I still know this, and I couldn't help being taken aback. I quickly asked Master Liu, "Father, what nonsense are you talking about, how can our school be on the cemetery?"
Master Liu couldn't help but sneer: "I said that you don't understand, the house is built on the ground of Juyin, and the whole school's house has been built in the shape of a basalt. Those who are not of great merit cannot survive, because the yin is too heavy, and it will damage the longevity of the yang!"
"In addition, this house is built on top of the cemetery, and it is in the shape of a basalt. Could it be that the people who built this house and the people who lived in it at the beginning were for the things in the cemetery below?"
Master Liu said to himself again, and Zhao Jie and I got a little headache listening to it.
After a few laps around the school, Master Liu didn't say anything except shaking his head. After waiting for another lap, Master Liu asked me, "When was your school built?"
I thought about it for a while and said, "I don't know either. The houses in our school are all rented from people from the countryside. The family name of the family rented by Yuhong Class and our class is Li, and the other classes in the big yard below are from the same family. of the King's family."
We've been here for a long time, and we still know these things.
Master Liu asked us to take him to those two families. They lived very close to the school. We went to Li's house first. There was an old lady at home. We all called her Mrs. Li. As for the rest of her family, We only know that she also has a son, but the new house is built far away from here and rarely comes here.
Seeing Mrs. Li, Master Liu asked her if there was anyone else in the family, and Mrs. Li said, "No, I have built a new house for my son, and the old man is gone. He didn't even look at his daughter-in-law, and then he separated from his son. I'll live by myself."
Later, Mrs. Li asked us what was going on with her, and Master Liu asked about the origin of the house in our school. Mrs. Li thought about it and said, "It turns out that the house was owned by almost the old owner of the village, and it was divided later. Those landlords moved away after being criticized/contested, and they didn’t stay in the village, so I don’t know where they moved to.”
Master Liu shook his head and asked Mrs. Li, if there is anything in this house, don't let it go. Mrs. Li thought about it and said, "I haven't heard of it."
After coming out of Mrs. Li's house, we are going to Wang's house again. Now there are only a pair of orphans and widows left in the Wang family. Everyone is used to calling her Widow Wang in private. As for how her husband died, it is also a story. I went to the toilet at night, and then fell on the stone beside the kennel and died, but these are all rumors, and no one knows what happened.
But I heard my father mentioned that the Wang family was originally a big family in the village, and most of the houses in our school were also allocated to the Wang family. After his death, now only the widowed and orphans of the Wang family are left, and the widow Wang’s son is one year older than us and is also a student of our school.
Before going to Wang's house, I told Master Liu what I had heard, and Master Liu said, "This house is for Ke!"
We stopped walking towards the Wang family halfway through. I asked Master Liu what was wrong, and Master Liu said, "Forget it, it's no use to go, and the people of the Wang family will definitely not know when this house was built. , I'll check it myself."
I asked Master Liu how to check, and Master Liu took out the gold-rimmed box left by You Xiaoqing and said, "There may be an answer in this box."
I asked Master Liu what was in the box, and Master Liu said, "I'll show you when I get home."
After leaving the school, Master Liu did not take us directly back to the village, but took us to the police station in the countryside, saying that he wanted to see the milky white snakeskin.
When they got to the township, Master Liu used the township phone to make a call to the county town, and then someone in the county town called the leader of the township, and then the leader took Master Liu to the police station and took the two pieces as a phone call. The milky white snakeskin of the evidence was taken away.
After getting the snake skin, Master Liu's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but he calmed down soon, and after taking the snake skin, Master Liu said to the person in charge of the village, "I'll take this snake skin first. , I'll come back after the case is solved."
The leader said: "Two pieces of long worm skin, if you like, take them."
Master Liu is also welcome!
Returning to the village from the village, Master Liu still did not take us home to look at the box, but asked He Zhao Jie to take him to the tree where the yellow bird once lived.
