"This time I really caused trouble for you and my little sister."
"It's okay, it's okay. As an old man, I'm not afraid of the excitement, but the desertedness. I would like you to stay here for a few more days."
At the dinner table, Zhao Zhiqiang changed the topic and pointed to the small baggage placed on the coffee table.
"This is something that was salvaged from the fire. The firefighters picked it out. The fire was so big that the whole house was burned down. Alas."
"Thank you. No matter what, my stay here these days will not be in vain. You will definitely not ask for the money I give you. If there is anything you need help with, please tell me. I also want to help you and my little sister. Do something.”
Zhang Daoling didn't notice that when he said these words, the little girl's eyes suddenly lit up.
Naturally noticing his granddaughter's expression, Zhao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded.
"Haha, that's for sure. Xiaoyue is going to have a parent-teacher meeting at the end of the month. As an elder brother, why don't you go and see it?"
"ah?"
"Um?"
"Okay, please leave it to me."
…
With Zhao Xiyue's help, Zhang Daoling put the cleaned pots and dishes back in place. Watching Zhao Xiyue, who was alone, put on her small schoolbag and took the car to go to school in the town without even having time to wash her face. Zhang Daoling couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
He understood through insinuations that the little girl's parents had settled abroad when Zhao Xiyue was very young. The couple, who advocated a free atmosphere, regularly sent money home every month, but they had never returned home to see their daughter.
There seemed to be some family conflict in the old Zhao family, and Zhao Xiyue became the victim of the conflict.
Zhao Xiyue was brought up by Zhao Zhiqiang who pooped and peed on her since she was a child. This made the little girl learn to be self-reliant and self-reliant from an early age.
In order not to trouble Zhao Zhiqiang, the little girl did the laundry, bathing and going to school by herself. Zhao Xiyue had hardly felt the warmth of family affection from her parents since she was a child. In addition, for some reason Zhao Zhiqiang was unwilling to go to school no matter what he said. Naturally, no one attended the school’s parent-teacher conference.
In this case, Zhang Daoling would naturally not refuse.
"It's a pity that I, an outsider, can't interfere with such family conflicts. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite."
With a sigh, Zhang Daoling returned to his yard. He still had his own things to do.
In addition to the main house, there was also a side room with a bed. Unfortunately, half of the side room was burned down along with the main house. There was air leakage everywhere and there was no way to live in it. This was why he had to temporarily live in Old Zhaotou's house.
"Without 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, I'm afraid I can't rebuild this house, but I really can't afford that much money... Forget it, let's take a look at what's in the bag first."
Opening the baggage from Old Zhaotou's house, there was a gold hairpin, a gold ring, and some bags of cinnabar that had not been burned yet. The cinnabar was of little significance and could only be used a few times.
"This gold ring and gold hairpin belong to that Taoist priest. If they are sold, it can alleviate the financial constraints.
Wait, I saw this golden hairpin at the food stall. It was the headdress worn by the woman with her back to me. In other words, is this something Feitou Man used? Is it some kind of magic weapon? It’s better not to sell it yet. "
After observing it again, Zhang Daoling couldn't see why, so he put it away again and made plans later.
The house had been thoroughly searched by the old man, and there was nothing valuable left at all, so he was not going to waste time cleaning it up.
He walked into the kitchen and opened the lid of the water tank. The mutilated body of the flying man inside had disappeared, leaving only a tank of stinky black water. The pungent smell like the time-honored swill bucket almost made Zhang Daoling vomit.
"Ugh...will this kind of ghost thing that has no human form degrade naturally? It saves trouble. It's just a waste tank."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Daoling realized that there was no way to deal with the smelly water alone, so he simply put the lid back on and sealed it with transparent tape.
The electric gate in the courtyard had been cut off while fighting the fire, and Zhang Daoling had no intention of restoring the power. The valuable anti-theft lock on the courtyard door was broken, so he found a new lock, hung it on the courtyard door, and left.
Relying on the old mobile phone borrowed from Lao Zhaotou, Zhang Daoling took a car to the town and bought a new smartphone, which relieved his urgent need.
It took him an afternoon to complete the work of purchasing a new mobile phone card and purchasing materials for drawing symbols. Zhang Daoling counted the time and waited until the end of school at Honglin Primary School.
The chattering primary school students gathered in small groups, walking side by side from the school playground and holding the hands of their parents, looking energetic and happy. However, Zhang Daoling noticed a few who looked a bit naughty. The angry little boy walked away arm in arm.
This scene reminded him of some past events, and he couldn't help but frown.
However, Zhao Xiyue did not come out until most of the students left school. Zhang Daoling was sure that he had not missed it, so he walked to the door and stopped a teacher.
"Hello teacher, my sister hasn't come out yet. Are there any students in the school now?"
After looking at Zhang Daoling carefully, the female teacher saw the worried attitude in Zhang Daoling's performance, and then asked.
"Which student's brother are you?"
Calmly, Zhang Daoling explained patiently.
"My sister's name is Zhao Xiyue. She is a student in Class 2, Grade 3."
The relaxed teacher pointed to the third floor of the campus teaching building where the class door was still open.
"Oh, they are students from Teacher Xiaobai's class. They may still be on duty now, right? The school will not be completely closed until half past six."
"Can I go in and find my sister?"
"I'll take you there."
"Thank you, teacher. What would be a better way to call you?"
"My surname is Li, just call me Teacher Li."
Teacher Li glanced at the security guard at the concierge and turned to leave.
Following Teacher Li into the teaching building, Zhang Daoling could sense that Teacher Li was still doubting his identity and motives until now. He couldn't help but smile with relief. With such a responsible teacher, at least Zhao Xiyue's safety would be guaranteed in the school. Great protection.
Arriving at the penultimate classroom on the west side of the third floor, Teacher Li first glanced into the classroom, then stood at the door and motioned for Zhang Daoling to come over.
When he walked to the door, Zhang Daoling saw Zhao Xiyue who was sweeping the floor alone. He glanced at the day watch and saw the names of three people in the place of Thursday.
"Xiaoyue?"
Zhao Xiyue, who had her back to the classroom door, was stunned for a moment, then turned around in a daze and saw Zhang Daoling standing at the door, standing there in a cute manner.
"elder brother?"
Completely relieved, Teacher Li smiled and waved to Zhang Daoling and left.
While Zhao Xiyue was still at a loss, Zhang Daoling had already put down his backpack and picked up the mop in the back corner of the classroom with a smile, seemingly unaware of the awkward atmosphere.
"I used to stay on duty when I was little. Xiaoyue, you are much more powerful than me. You can actually wipe the blackboard so clean.
You don’t know how naughty I am. Because I draw well, the blackboard teacher always gives me drawings, so I draw my favorite anime characters.
I was very happy when I was drawing, but when I wiped the blackboard, the red, green, and blue were mixed together. At that time, it was not as convenient as washing the blackboard now, so I could only wipe it with a rag on the heater with water little by little, and I often wiped it. There were still colored marks after the treatment, and I couldn't get rid of them. Instead, I turned into a tabby cat.
Just like that, the next day the teacher had to teach arithmetic with a colorful blackboard with a smile on his face, and he didn't dare to say a word to me, otherwise he would lose the greatest blackboard painter..."
From the very beginning, it was a man talking to himself in spite of his embarrassment. The little girl who was not good at words just lowered her head and allowed the unprecedented mood to stir her heart.
She felt that she was amused, but when she was so happy, her lips were sour, and she couldn't laugh.
I don't know when her vision became a little blurry. Zhao Xiyue lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with her small hands, but the blurred figure became clearer.
This figure filled the deserted classroom and was warmer than the sunset outside the window.
"I have nothing to do during this period. Before the parent-teacher meeting, I will take you to and from school. If someone bullies you, just tell me and I will help you deal with him!"
"Um."
From beginning to end, Zhao Xiyue only replied with one word.
After dinner, Zhang Daoling left Lao Zhao's house under the name of late practice.
He used his cell phone to dial a useless number. To his surprise, the call was dialed this time.
"Who are you? I don't want to buy movies, so stop trying to sell them to me."
"Ghost dad? Have you finally returned to the earth? Do you want to consider helping to build a 5G signal base station in the underworld?"
"You little brat, how can you talk? Don't you know how to respect the old and love the young...
Miss Li, you heard me wrong. He called me Lao Guo. This is my brother calling me. Please wait for me for a while while I talk to this disrespectful distant cousin. "
"Cousin? Okay~ Go and come back quickly~ I don’t want to wait too long~"
Zhang Daoling said nothing with a dull face until the sound of closing the door came over the phone.
"Boy, your dad is slaying demons, defending the road, and supporting justice. Why are you yelling so loudly?"
With a sneer, Zhang Daoling said unceremoniously.
"You know whether it's the way to eliminate demons and defend it or the way to remove membranes and comfort it. I just want to ask, what is the animal skin you gave me?
You were the one who brought that black-faced Taoist priest who knows witchcraft to my side, right? Did you know you almost lost your distant cousin? "
This time, there was silence on the other side of the phone for a few seconds before a somewhat awkward voice came.
"Ha, you also know what secrets must not be revealed. I would like to tell you more, but I am afraid that my tongue will be rotten and my mouth will be rotten. And I believe that my precious son can solve problems independently. Isn't this how you have grown up? "
"I killed someone and hid Feitouman's body despite the pressure of the law. In a life-and-death battle, I chopped a living person into ashes with a thunder talisman. You still treat it so lightly?"
"Thunder Talisman? Not bad. Very talented. Just don't use it too hard. Otherwise, your lifespan will be reduced greatly. A thunder talisman will shorten your lifespan by at least five years. If you don't have enough ghosts around you, you can use it more than ten times." You have become an old man with a white beard. I will still have to call you grandpa. Wouldn’t it be a big loss for me?
Remember, unless you encounter a zombie king who has become a spirit or a ghost king who can pull you into the ghost realm, do not use your heart and blood to activate the thunder talisman. As for those high-level devils in the Western world, you can use them even if you encounter a person who cannot be beaten. , but I guess you won’t encounter it in the mountains and valleys..."
Zhang Daoling was stunned. The amount of information in this paragraph was so great that he even forgot to say the extremely beautiful and civilized words in his mouth.
Let’s not talk about the zombie king. What does it mean? Just vomited blood and wiped out five years of your life?
He was originally twenty-four years old, but now he has gone straight to his third year, so he might as well ask Zhao Xiyue to call him uncle instead.
"Wait, you brat, did you use it? You didn't use it, did you? No way?"
"... After using it, a big hole was cut in the roof, half of the yard was burned, and no one could live in it."
"If you use it two more times, you will be of the same generation as me, and you will really become my younger brother..."
Forget it, as long as the Taoist foundation is not damaged, these can be made up for. Try to find some Taoist cultivation methods. Remember not to practice randomly and save the ghosts first. You have to find the specific cultivation methods yourself. I will plug in I've given it all to you and there's nothing I can do if you don't live up to your expectations...
The house is worthless. If it burns, it will be burned. The land is ours. If you want to live in it, you can spend money to repair it. Otherwise, you can leave the village and live in a big city by yourself. I will not interfere.
If you have anything else to ask, ask quickly. That female zombie who is well versed in human nature is urging me to take her in. Grandma, she wants 180,000 yuan from me in just three sentences. I only earn 500,000 yuan by showing people Feng Shui. This If you explore the treasure hole, you will get one third. Your father and I can't swallow this bad breath..."
Zhang Daoling asked, wanting to punch Zhang Junhong twice in the face.
"Dad, that black-faced Taoist priest, I killed him... did I do the right thing? He said he did it to save his wife..."
"The southern barbarian wizard, in order to cultivate the Gu Immortal body, personally refined his wife into a flying head barbarian, just because his wife opposed his practice of witchcraft.
The cultivation of the Gu Immortal body requires the use of many babies' essence and blood to refine the innate essence. All babies whose essence and blood are absorbed will die young. The deaths of so many babies are all natural deaths. The police cannot find out at all. The cause and effect is yours. Think about it,
He and the flying-headed barbarian were also the first ghosts I gave you. I don’t know how many you got, but you chopped them with the thunder talisman that you worked hard on, so there shouldn’t be much left. "
The frivolous tone was gone, and the voice on the phone was indescribably serious.
"Remember, dad is risking his bad words to tell you again. In this world, don't believe anyone's lies. You can only trust your own judgment.
If you encounter someone with evil intentions, don't hesitate to kill him if you must. If it doesn't work, just seek refuge with the country.
As long as you make a positive contribution to society, the country will not make things difficult for you. These crooked ways are also a headache and scourge for the country.
If you just join the establishment, you should also understand that as long as you can't withstand the fire of machine guns and artillery, you have to be obedient and subject to jurisdiction, and you will definitely not be comfortable with free movement. "(End of chapter)
