Lao Cao saw my frown and reached out to pat my shoulder.
"Okay, Xiao Wu, don't think too much. It's easy to get nervous. In short, let's stop here for the time being regarding the matter in Xiaowan Village. As the fairy said, it will take two or three years to resolve it. Later. Let’s think about it then.”
Um.
I nodded and didn't worry about it anymore.
Just keep these things in mind, and if there is relevant information in the future, I will pay attention to it.
Yuan Fei, however, shook his head and sighed.
"Oh my, my rare treasure just disappeared like that? I haven't done anything yet, and I haven't caught anything yet. I just came over to watch the excitement."
Lao Cao was angry and funny, and rolled his eyes at this guy.
"Okay! I am still a Taoist priest at this age, but I am still so frivolous in my behavior. I really want to interfere with this matter, so I can practice hard while there are still two or three years left. I can predict that there will be a big change by then. .”
Having said this, Lao Cao sighed softly again.
He is a person who has lived in troubled times, so he naturally likes the stable and peaceful life now.
But combined with what Bai Su said, and seeing that even the river god coveted that rare thing, after two or three years when the rare thing is completely mature... I'm afraid it will definitely be a bloody storm.
Maybe it won't affect ordinary people - after all, in modern society, any Taoist magic is just a piece of shit in front of the high-tech guns of the imperial court!
How can Xuanmen practitioners dare to be as unscrupulous as in ancient times or in troubled times?
However, within the Xuanmen Jianghu... there will definitely be a big fuss.
By then, the entire Xuanmen Jianghu circle in Lianghe Town and Fubei County will definitely not be peaceful.
So the only thing we can do is to try our best to practice, enhance our strength, and collect more useful information in these two or three years!
Fortunately, Lao Cao, myself, Yuan Fei, Li Miao, and Bai Su have formed an alliance.
Also considered a good friend.
After all, it’s not too weak…
After that, we rode Lao Cao’s paper horse back to the coffin shop in the town just like when we came.
Yuan Fei shouted that he would sleep in the coffin shop tonight.
Bai Su and Hui Hui planned to take advantage of the late night to wander around the mountains near Lianghe Town and choose a place with good feng shui to reopen the cave.
As for Li Miao, I took him on horseback alone to a cabin in the woods by the river in the north of the town...
Before leaving, he told me that he had recently been studying the corpse-recovering methods in some ancient books. When you have time, you can try to retrieve Zhou Min's body again.
This moved me a little, and I thanked you again and again.
Before leaving, Heizi and I played for a while, smiled and stroked the dog's head, and promised that I would definitely bring meat for him to eat next time he comes!
But I have already seen the word "disgust" in its eyes, and it turned its head away proudly to prevent me from touching it. Li Miao couldn't help laughing.
I looked embarrassed, disgusted by the dog... I guess my credibility with Heizi was about to drop to zero, right?
Returning to the coffin shop, I chatted with Lao Cao for a few more words and then fell asleep.
In the next two days, nothing happened.
Every day, in addition to learning coffin-carrying techniques and yin-zhi techniques from Lao Cao, I also prepare for the various lessons that follow.
I have already completed self-study for many subjects this semester, such as Chinese, mathematics, and English.
Of course, it’s just like swallowing the jujube in one gulp.
If you want to remain at the top of your grade in exams, you have to listen carefully in class...
When I have some free time, I feel like time passes very quickly.
It feels like the holidays are over in the blink of an eye and it’s time to go to school again.
Don't tell me, I'm still a little excited!
That's what students are like.
After studying in school for a long time, I wanted to leave school.
After a long vacation, I happily miss school time again...
What a contradiction!
The rule of our school is to go to school one day in advance for evening self-study.
After all, our school is actually a boarding school. If not students from Lianghe Town, students from other ten miles and eight towns must live in student dormitories.
If I hadn't lived in Lao Cao's house, I would have had to go to the student dormitory.
When I got to the classroom, I hadn’t started my evening self-study yet. The classmates who had not seen each other during the holiday gathered together in small groups and chatted.
I just put down my schoolbag and haven't sat down yet.
This guy Wang Dachun yelled, "Boss, I miss you so much", rushed over to me, and gave me a strong hug.
It made me very awkward.
Yao Nan covered his mouth and snickered.
In the end, Wang Dachun said: "Sister-in-law, don't laugh. Don't you miss your big brother during the holiday? Let's give him a hug too."
I:"……"
Yao Nan: "..."
Yao Nan's pretty face flushed, she picked up the Chinese language book on the table, turned around and hit Wang Dachun head and face. The beating made this guy howl and scream.
"Okay, okay, stop fighting. This guy is born with a mean mouth. Don't you know that, Yao Nan? You are already stupid, and you will become even stupider when you hit him later."
I persuaded her half-jokingly and half-seriously, reaching out to take her Chinese book.
snort!
Yao Nan glared at me and sat down angrily. Then he picked up the thermos cup on the table and drank water in small sips.
I saw that the tips of this girl's ears were already red.
Well……
Is this too thin-skinned?
Everyone is already so familiar with it, so Wang Dachun was just joking.
I thought to myself: "Humph, I don't want you to hug me yet! Of all the women in this world, except my mother, I only want my master to hug me."
But Wang Dachun is a thick-skinned guy. He pulled Zeng Jin and me and talked vividly about our holiday life. When it came to the funny part, Zeng Jin and I both burst out laughing. Yao Nan, who was pretending to read a book, was also amused, so we were no longer angry with him.
It wasn't until the evening self-study began, when the head teacher Chen Xue walked into the classroom with an exercise book, that the students all became quiet...
The following school life was also so ordinary, warm and comfortable.
Playing with friends, eating, studying, and taking exams.
In the next two monthly exams, I still ranked first in the whole grade, and I had completely established myself as a [student].
Teachers in all subjects were very caring to me, especially Chen Xue, the head teacher, who said he had not misjudged me from the beginning!
He also wondered why Wang Dachun, the playboy who bullied me on the first day of admission, seemed to have become my little follower? And academic performance has also been greatly improved.
Finally, he said, maybe this is the reason why "those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black"?
And I thought to myself, this should actually be because of the big fist.
So in fact, whether a person ends up being a good person or a bad person depends on a certain degree of chance. It depends on what kind of people and things he encounters during his growth.
If I were really just an ordinary poor boy from the countryside, I would have been bullied by Wang Dachun like this and had no way of retaliating. There was no way he could have become my little brother by accident.
Maybe God thinks that I have been too tired during this period, with too many changes, and it’s time to relax.
In the next few months of this semester, life outside of school seemed to have calmed down...
I followed Lao Cao and Daniu to carry the coffin several times, and everything went smoothly, and I didn't encounter any more transformations of the deceased. May he be laid to rest smoothly.
Regarding the "Yin Pact" with Zhou Min, I am also continuing to trace the cause of her death, but I can't seem to find any clues.
Li Miao and I went to the Chuanjiang River outside the town and tried to salvage her body again, but still found nothing.
Fortunately, when I went to Li Miao's house this time, I finally remembered to buy a pound of good pork tenderloin for Heizi and take it with me.
This dog ate very happily, which finally improved my trust level.
Not only did it allow me to stroke it casually, but in the end it even laid on the ground and turned its belly over for me to rub... Li Miao laughed and cursed and said that this stupid dog was too easy to fool.
The police station has been investigating for a long time about the three deceased people of the deadly demon tree, but to no avail. The case can only be closed temporarily.
I know, of course this will not lead to any results!
After all, all three of them died from supernatural powers... and we never met the mysterious and powerful evil cultivator again.
Xiao's family in Xiaowan Village was also safe.
Xiao Mao is quite reliable in doing things. He also took our instructions to heart and did not mess with the layout of the cellar or make any mistakes.
correct!
There is also the book "Fubei County Chronicles". Lao Cao and I have also read all of it.
It records many anecdotes and strange things, as well as the changes in the customs and customs of Lianghe Town in the past two or three hundred years - many things even the local Lao Cao does not know, and he has gained a lot of experience.
We also found the address of Xu Xinyi's old home based on the records in the "Fubei County Chronicle" - it was located on an open mountain one mile west of the district middle school where I studied.
That place, some students who live in the south of the town will pass by if they don't want to take the avenue that passes the Two Rivers Bridge, but take a shortcut to the school.
Standing on the roof of the teaching building of our school, you can clearly see the house.
Unexpectedly, it was the Xu family’s old house!
Fortunately, it was in the late 1990s that the entire society began to develop and take off crazily. The changes are not as drastic as they were later, and the vigorous transformation of cities and towns to "renovate old buildings and welcome new ones" has not yet fully begun...
Therefore, the Xu family’s old house has been preserved intact!
It was only after Lao Cao and I went there, knocked on the door, and told the owner about "Xu Xinyi". The owner of the house said that the last direct descendant of the Xu family had moved away seven or eight years ago.
When talking about the name "Xu Xinyi", the current house owners have also heard of it. After all, they are actually distant relatives of the Xu family.
When Xu Xinyi left home and left home to follow the wandering Taoist priests, his eldest son Xu Jiren was already sixteen or seventeen years old.
He gritted his teeth and took on the important responsibilities of the family. Relying on some connections and assets left by his father, he actually developed the Xu family and became a famous grain merchant in the entire Fubei County...
