Looking at the figure walking up the mountain quickly, I thought to myself, it can’t come so fast, right? Not long after I came out of Immortal Ridge, someone is eager to take action against me?
And because there are more than a hundred pairs of ghosts in Xiejia Village, other craftsmen generally dare not come in. However, this guy can still run around like flying. Doesn't it mean that this guy has extraordinary skills?
If that were the case, it would probably be a fierce battle. I glanced at the bamboo knife in Zhang Hazi's hand, and thought that it would be the best option for me to hold the guy down and let Zhang Hazi go down the mountain to bring reinforcements.
But when I saw clearly that the figure was not returning, my hanging heart immediately relaxed. At the same time, I did not forget to laugh at myself: I have encountered so many bad things that I have become a complete loser.
Xie Bugui quickly ran to the top of the mountain, and then asked me, what are you doing here so early in the morning?
I smiled when I heard this and said, we didn't come here so early in the morning.
Xie Bugui was stunned when he heard this and said, "You guys didn't come over this early in the morning. At what time did you come over?"
Let me tell you, if I said we came here last night, would you believe it?
Xie Bugui shook his head and smiled and said, "I definitely don't believe it. We were playing mahjong together last night. Are you lying?"
At this time, Zhang Hazi and I were not calm anymore. I hurriedly asked him, are you sure we played mahjong together last night and it was not just a dream?
Xie Bugui pointed at his angular face, or more precisely, at his dull eyes, and asked, "Have you seen these two dark circles under my eyes?" It just came out of staying up late yesterday.
He did have a dark circle on his eye, but it probably wasn't caused by staying up all night last night. It was probably because he hadn't slept well in the past few days, and he stayed up all night last night to get rid of the dark circle.
But the problem is, Zhang Hazi and I were running around in the mountains last night. How could we have time to play mahjong with you?
Besides, Zhang Hazi can't see, so what kind of mahjong is he playing?
Xie Bugui said, don’t tell me, he can’t see the cards, but he can touch the cards, and he can be sure of them every time he touches them. He basically won last night.
Judging from Xie Bugui's words, it shouldn't look like he was telling lies, but Zhang Hazi and I both looked at each other in shock at this fact.
I asked him again, since the two of us went to play mahjong with you, why would you come up the mountain again?
He said, I really want to ask you what is going on with this question. I am obviously fighting well, but I am just about to get lucky, and I am about to get back my money. You two want to go to the toilet. This time, everything is going crazy. Liangluha didn't come back. I ran over and took a look, only to realize that you two were missing.
Xie Bugui ran up the mountain immediately out of worry. Then he saw us squatting in front of the grave from a distance, like two tomb beasts. He was so scared that he thought we were being attacked. He was caught and made into a tomb beast.
In order to make Xie Bugui believe me, I selectively told him what happened last night, mainly telling how the two of us were trapped in the mountain and how we ran down the mountain no matter how hard we ran.
As for Xie Xichang's father and me, and my entry into the Immortal Ridge, I didn't mention a word.
After Xie Bugui heard this, his angular face immediately wrung out water. Then he stared at the two of us with his dull eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, he said to me, are you sure everything you said is true and not just a dream?
Let me tell you, aren't you talking nonsense? If I had been playing mahjong with you last night, where would I have had time to dream? Besides, where is there a place for me to sleep here? Is it possible to sleep on a grave and dream?
It's actually quite understandable that Xie Bugui is still doubtful. After all, he saw what happened last night with his own eyes, and what I said is just my side of the story. Anyone with a discerning eye knows which one he will believe.
The current situation is that no one can convince anyone.
And I think that even if Xie Bugui knew that we were right, he would not choose to believe it. Because this is equivalent to asking him to admit that he played mahjong with two ghosts last night, which is indeed difficult for the craftsman to accept.
Just when both of us were at a stalemate, Zhang Hazi asked him straight to the point, apart from the three of us last night, who was Hazi?
Xie Bugui looked at me and said, "You have seen him, Xie Chuan's grandson, Xie Buxin."
Hearing this, I immediately shook my head and said, I just had a conflict with him during the day. You can also imagine that I can't play mahjong with him. No matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel right, okay?
Xie Bugui shook his head and said, I called him here because you guys had a conflict during the day, so I wanted to use the opportunity of playing mahjong to alleviate the conflict. After all, they are all young people, and they don’t have any deep hatred or any obstacles that they can’t overcome.
There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that I'm not that kind of person. If I don't like someone, I will never compromise to deal with him. Instead, I will keep as far away from him as possible. It is best to stay away from each other for the rest of my life.
I can't do it in my heart but still have a smile on my face. I have not yet learned this tactful way of dealing with the world, and I hope I will never learn it in this life.
Xie Bugui said again, if I saw a ghost alone, then I would admit it, but Xie Buxin was also present, so it's impossible that he didn't notice it, right?
This is true, they are all craftsmen, and the probability of one of them being bewitched by a ghost is very small, let alone two people being bewitched by a ghost at the same time?
Zhang Hazi frowned and pondered for a moment, and then said, go to Xie Buxin's room and ask him, will he know better?
After saying that, Zhang Hazi made an excuse to take a dump and sent Xie Bugui and I to go down the mountain first. Because I was worried about his safety, I originally wanted to wait at the top of the mountain, but when I saw him reaching out and making a digging gesture, It suddenly dawned on me that I went down the mountain with Xie Bugui.
Zhang Hazi wants to bury the earth in the middle of Xie Chuanyin's tomb again. Otherwise, Zhang Hazi and I will definitely be suspected by Xie Bugui of having evil intentions.
When the two of us just walked down the mountain, Zhang Hazi caught up with us. As we walked, he said that after solving the problem, he felt completely refreshed.
Xie Bugui and I ignored Zhang Hazi's bad taste and walked quickly towards Xie Buxin's house.
I knew how to get to Xie Buxin's house from Xie Bugui's house, but it was a bit difficult for me to go up from the end of the village. Although Xie Bugui was guiding me throughout the entire journey, I always felt like I had never walked this journey before.
I didn't react until Xie Bugui knocked on the door of a house. Instead, I asked Xie Bugui, "We are not going to Xie Buxin's house. Why are you knocking on this house's door?"
Xie Bugui was stunned when he heard this and said, this is Grandpa Chuan Ji's house. If I don't knock on his door, which door should I knock on?
Looking at the short courtyard gate and dilapidated courtyard in front of me, I suddenly felt like the world was spinning. I said, the Xie Buxin I saw yesterday was not this one!
