Two figures, one large and one small, walked on the narrow forest path, one on the left and one on the right.
Hu Chi'er looked at Gu Ning'an's feet and said, "Sir, are you an immortal?"
"No." Gu Ning'an glanced at him, shook her head and said with a smile, "Why do you ask that?"
Bang bang! Bang bang!
Hu Chi'er slapped himself all over his body vigorously, his pupils swayed violently, and he seemed very anxious.
Gu Ning'an waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I understand what you want to say... patting the water off your body is just a little magic, not an immortal."
Hearing this, Hu Chi'er pointed to Gu Ning'an's shoes again and said, "Shoes, shoes...not dirty, not dirty at all!"
From these words, Gu Ning'an probably guessed that this idiot wanted to say that Gu Ning'an was standing by the muddy river just now, but there was no dirt on his shoes.
"Sir's little magic, it's easy to avoid some mud." If Gu Ning'an said this before "returning to silence", it would be true... But after that, Gu Ning'an had already I noticed that I had some different characteristics.
The fact that dirt and grime avoids oneself can be considered one of them.
thump!
Caught off guard, Hu Chi'er knelt down towards Gu Ning'an. Even if the muddy ground was covered with weeds, the muffled thumping sound must have come from kneeling very hard.
"Sir, Hu Chi'er wants to learn magic from you. I don't want to be a fool anymore!" Hu Chi'er's voice was loud and his eyes were extremely firm.
Gu Ning'an picked it up and said with a smile: "You baby, how could you be an idiot..."
"But I have no intention of accepting a disciple..."
"You're just slower in your reactions... practice your speaking and reactions more often, and no one will call you crazy anymore."
Hu Chi'er's eyes trembled. He seemed to want to say something more, but his face turned red and he couldn't say the next sentence.
Just at this moment, there was fire flickering not far away, and the faint sound of someone shouting could be heard.
"You idiot!"
"Hu Shi, where are you?"
"Grandpa is here to find you. If you hear this, come over and find Grandpa!"
Hearing the sound, Gu Ningan put down Hu Chi'er in his hand and said with a smile: "Your grandpa is here to see you, go ahead."
Hu Chi'er was stunned on the spot. Hearing his grandfather's anxious shout, he ran towards the direction of the fire, but just halfway through, he seemed to have thought of something again, and turned back to look in the direction of Gu Ning'an.
As a result, when he looked back, there was no trace of Gu Ning'an anymore.
"Hu Shi! Stand there and don't move!"
"Grandpa saw you!"
Not far away, an old man holding a torch shouted and waved to his grandson.
Soon, the old man and the villagers who came out to look for Hu Chi'er gathered around him.
The gathered torches illuminated the dim forest path.
"You little kid, why are you here so late at night?"
"Next time you run wild, grandpa will give you a good beating."
The old man picked up Hu Chi'er and scolded him, but his eyes were filled with joy.
"Hu, Mr. Hu, you have to lock your house next time. This idiot is ignorant. What if he runs around and falls into the river?"
"Yes, yes! You have to clean up this idiot when it's time to deal with it. A filial son emerges from under the stick, even idiots are the same."
"Hu Chi'er, remember, next time you dare to sneak away again, if your grandfather doesn't deal with you, your uncle will definitely teach you a lesson for your grandfather... Look at this fool, your grandfather is worried Yes! If he suddenly becomes ill, you will be the one who suffers!"
To be called out at night to help look for children, these villagers are not bad-tempered, but they are very talkative, although they seem to be reprimanding for Hu Shi's good.
In fact, the sentence "idiot" on the left and "idiot" on the right made Hu Shi just want to escape quickly...
"I met an immortal! The immortal said, I am not an idiot!"
"He said I could get better!"
Suddenly, Hu Shi said two extremely fluent words that contained anger.
Mr. Hu was a little surprised. He had never seen his grandson say two sentences at the same time, and he also responded to what those fellow villagers said.
As for the villagers, they were outsiders after all. They were not aware of this detail, and they only felt that Hu Chi'er's illness had worsened.
In the past, he was just dumbfounded as a stone, but today he actually said that he saw an immortal.
Even if it’s not hysteria!
None of the villagers paid any attention to Hu Chi'er. They all started talking to Mr. Hu.
Some said that Hu Chi'er should be strictly monitored in the future, some said that he should be sent to a larger county to see a doctor, and some said that a Taoist priest should be found to exorcise the child...
"Okay, okay." Mr. Hu handed the torch to a middle-aged man beside him, waved his hand and said, "Thank you everyone for today. It's getting late. Let's go back quickly."
Seeing that Mr. Hu was feeling a little distressed for his grandson, all the villagers said nothing more and hurried back towards the road...
...
Ansi Courtyard is located in the east of Lexiang County. It has a good location. If the original owner hadn't been selling it urgently, Gu Ning'an wouldn't have been able to buy it for such a small price.
After rummaging around in the bag on his back for a while, Gu Ning'an found the copper key that he had not taken out for a long time. Perhaps it was because he had been with Gu Ning'an all year round and was influenced by his magic power. This copper key had been around for more than twenty years. There hasn't been any rust in the year.
In comparison, the lock, which has experienced more than twenty years of wind and frost, looks no different from a "cultural relic".
Rust and dust covered the entire lock, and the lock core was unused for many years, making it extremely greasy when it was hooked with the key.
Hearing a rattling sound, Gu Ning'an took off the rusty lock and pushed open the courtyard door that had been "dust-covered" for a long time.
Fine dust and sawdust fell everywhere along the cracks in the door like "a goddess scattering flowers".
call!
Gu Ning'an waved his hand, and a breeze blew by, gathering the ash into a ball and sweeping it into the haystack outside the courtyard.
As early as when she saw the gate of the courtyard, Gu Ning'an was already mentally prepared that the property she bought for the first time in this life might become very bad.
As a result, when you step into the hospital, reality is often more explosive than imagined...
On the walls of the courtyard, not to mention the falling debris, but the rows of mushrooms growing on them are really disgusting... The weeds on the ground in the courtyard, the cobwebs on the stone tables in the courtyard and the finger-thick dust... ...
"It must be the same in the house..." With a long sigh, Gu Ningan thought as her heart moved, and a whirlwind suddenly rose in the courtyard.
boom! boom! boom!
Doors and windows of the house were blown open by the wind, fresh breeze poured in, and stale air blew out.
The weeds and mushrooms in the yard were also swept out of the yard by the whirlwind and fell into the weeds outside...
