It was a prosthetic limb made of wood, and when he picked up the bones just now, he did touch a smooth wooden stick about as thick as a wrist and as long as an arm, because Xiao Xiao told him that he only needed to "pick up" bones and gold, silver and jade. He did not "pick up" Mrs. Deng's "left foot" because of the funeral objects.

He quickly touched the wooden stick, carried it in his arms, and tried to crawl out of the coffin again.

This time, Ruan Mudeng successfully turned out the coffin, and was never pulled by the tomb owner's ankle again.

It started to rain lightly the next morning, and Xiao Xiao personally nailed the new coffin and asked the workers to carry it to the new grave to bury it. She also presided over the ceremony of sealing the soil and erecting a monument. Finally, she told the boss that if everything in the villa is safe and the business Xinglong, Qingming Zhongyuan, don't forget to burn incense and paper for Mrs. Deng, and forget about it.

"Shall we go back to City A tomorrow?"

Ruan Mudeng sat on the edge of the bed, while rubbing his ankles with cooked glutinous rice, he raised his head and asked his master.

He didn't go to see the grave moving with him today.

The two that Mrs. Deng caught while picking up the bones were indeed very powerful.

After all, that is a ghost who has cultivated into a phantom body, and his body is very dark. When he returned to his residence and looked carefully under the light, the circle of Ruan Mudeng's left ankle was not only swollen into a steamed bun, but also the wound had begun to turn black. , obviously the corpse aura is invading the body, and it hurts so badly when touched.

Xiao Xiao was gnashing her teeth in anger at that time, and scolded the old woman for being too ruthless for making his precious apprentice hurt like this.

He had no choice but to have someone boil a large pot of cooked glutinous rice with grapefruit leaves and rub Ruan Mudeng's ankles.

Fortunately, it was not difficult to remove the corpse poison. After kneading the whole pot of glutinous rice, Ruan Mudeng's ankle was not so painful except for some redness and swelling.

"No, we have to stay here for two more days."

Xiao Xiao came in with a basin of grapefruit leaf water, soaked a towel, and sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed the young man's feet that were still stuck to rice grains, put them on her lap, and wiped his feet with the towel.

Ruan Mudeng's heels flinched like an electric shock, and he wanted to take the towel and come by himself, but Xiao Xiao raised his hand to block it, and naturally wiped the wound for the young man.

"Why don't you go back?"

Ruan Mudeng lowered his eyes, watching Xiao Xiaozai wipe his feet carefully and earnestly, one by one, his eyelashes trembled slightly, his Adam's apple rolled twice, trying to make his voice appear calm, " Is there anything else?"

Xiao Xiao threw the towel back into the basin, took out a box of translucent ointment from her bag, and applied Ruan Mudeng's red and swollen ankle.

"You suffered such a big loss this time, how could you not make up for it elsewhere."

Xiao Xiao's fingertips were soft and slippery to the touch, and she kept swirling on Ruan Mudeng's skin, kneading the thin layer of plaster.

The young man was slightly taller than him, and when looking at his face from this angle, he felt that Xiao Xiao's eyebrows were extremely beautiful, but the color of the eyebrows was a little lighter, the thin bangs drooped down, and most of the amber eyes were covered by eyelashes. , but couldn't hide the sparkle in his eyes.There was a small bright red mole in the corner of his eye, a smile on his lips, and his whole body was so soft...that made him...

...makes him want to hold him in his arms...

It's just that Ruan Mudeng doesn't have the guts.

He dared not offend his master.

This person has always had a gully in his chest. This person is always unpredictable. There are too many secrets and mysteries in him, which are never seen through. Occasionally, a few tricks are revealed from his fingers, which seem to be invisible. The boundaries drawn by drawing make young people feel that they are still far behind...

"Don't worry, I have my own plans."

After Xiao Xiao applied the medicine to his apprentice, he stood up, picked up the used basin, and before going out, he turned his head and winked at Ruan Mudeng.

"Tomorrow night, let's join in the fun!"

Chapter 28, 05, Picking up Gold [-]

The haunting troubles on the construction site were solved, and after a few days of sound sleep, the workers immediately revived in situ.

The water pump that was inexplicably broken didn’t need to be repaired, it’s fine on its own, now it’s rumbling all day long, busy draining the accumulated water in the foundation, the foreman has posted a new job advertisement, just wait When sufficient manpower is added, work can be restarted.

Xiao Xiao told Boss Xie that just in case, he would stay at the construction site for two more days, and if there were any other problems, he would clean them up.

He made a lot of money this trip, including the profit from selling the gloomy wooden coffin, there is a small 200 million in front and back. Although it is only "pocket money" to him, but Boss Xie is a straightforward and friendly person. Acting generously, he has made this friend. Taking advantage of the free time in these two days, he bought one and got one free. By the way, he gave Fengshui to the hot spring villa, and instructed Boss Xie to build a fountain pool in the southeast corner for good luck and fortune. A bowl of lotus is planted in the pond, and a brass three-legged toad is towned.

Monday night was the last night that Xiao Xiao and Ruan Mudeng lived in the villa.

The two of them had dinner that day, just after eight o'clock, Xiao Xiao rushed the apprentice to bed early, and made people go to bed quickly, "Hurry up and sleep for a while, and get up at night."

"So what's the matter?"

In the dark, Ruan Mudeng listened to the movement of people coming and going on the construction site outside and the rumbling sound of the water pump. With his eyes wide open, he looked at the man who was sleeping on the other bed an arm's length away by the light coming in from the window. My own master.

Xiao Xiao was wrapped in a thin blanket like a silkworm chrysalis, only showing a pair of smiling eyes, "Going to drink a wedding wine."

After finishing speaking, he blinked mysteriously, no matter how much the apprentice asked, he didn't answer any more, turned over and buried his head in the pillow, as if he was really about to fall asleep.

Ruan Mudeng was very curious, but also a little nervous and excited. In addition, it was not time for his biological clock to go to sleep, and the light pollution and noise pollution outside were really obvious. He baked pancakes on the bed for a long time, and it was not easy until the night was quiet. Finally fell asleep.

He felt as if he had just fallen asleep, and was woken up by Xiao Xiao patting his cheek.

"Hush, listen..."

Xiao Xiao stretched out her fingers, and pressed her fingertips on Ruan Mudeng's lips, stopping the young man's sleepy eyes from blurting out the question, "Did you hear that?"

Ruan Mudeng turned over and sat up from the bed, pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while, and sure enough, he vaguely heard the sound of multiple musical instruments coming from outside the window, intermittently forming some kind of cheerful and festive music.

"It seems to be the sound of bells... and the sound of suona and gongs and drums..."

"Yes, it's just that 'someone' is looking for a wedding party."

Xiao Xiao pulled her to the edge of the door, pushed open a small gap two fingers wide, and called her disciples to come over, the two of them stuck to the edge of the door, pulled the gap to look out.

I saw that the doors of several Datongpu dormitories next to it were opened one after another at this time. The workers came out of the room in twos and threes, staggering as if they were drunk. Sluggish, expressionless, as if sleepwalking, he walked in the direction of the music coming from outside.

"You keep up with them, and you do what they do. No matter what you see in the process, don't panic, don't talk, and don't act without authorization."

Xiao Xiao patted her apprentice's buttocks, then opened the door, pushed him out without any explanation, and at the same time told him softly: "Don't worry, there won't be any danger, I'll come as soon as I go."

Ruan Mudeng was driven out of the house by Xiao Xiao in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. Together with a group of workers, he left the hot spring villa and walked straight into the mountain towards the direction of the music.

After walking for a while on the rugged mountain road, they saw a group of men and women in red and green standing in a clearing in the forest.

These people are old and young, tall, short, fat and thin. Among them are some young people in their 20s who are very beautiful, with phoenix eyes, peach cheeks, small mouths and straight noses. Custom generally enchanting and gorgeous.

But except for them, most of the others are weird-looking, with a wide mouth, a wide nose and an eye distance of three inches, and sharp-mouthed monkeys with long brown hair on their necks and arms, and they are probably only as tall as Ruan Mudeng himself. With white hair and wrinkled face...it looks like a special effects makeup set, which is indescribably inconsistent.

The crowd surrounded a tall and handsome young man wearing a red double-breasted gown, on his back was a young woman wearing a phoenix crown and a scarf, and a red sedan chair was parked beside him, with more than a dozen cages stacked behind him .

Look at the "band" playing drums, trumpets and ringing bells. It turned out to be more than a dozen big horse monkeys half the height of a man, with brown backs and white bellies, and a bowl-sized red flower hung on their chests.

Seeing the workers coming towards them from afar, the group of people cheered and shouted in dialect: "Here we come, the sedan chair bearers are here!"

So the group of men and women surrounded the young man and carried the woman onto the sedan chair.

Ruan Mudeng lowered his eyes, quietly mixed among the workers, and picked up the heavy eight-carrier sedan chair.

He sneaked a glance to the side with his corner of the eye, and saw that besides the eight people who carried the sedan chair, the remaining ten or so workers also picked up several boxes and cages on the ground with a dull expression, and lined up behind the sedan chair one by one. .

At this time, the music sounded again, and the weird team that sent off the relatives in the middle of the night started on the road bustlingly, walking towards the depths of the mountain forest.

The team walked for about an hour in the mountains, and finally came to the "Xitang".

The Xitang was placed in front of a cave, and a large bamboo shed was built on the open space, with twenty or thirty tables of seats placed inside.

The groom's officer was a big man with beards, he personally greeted Meijiao Niang off the sedan chair and took her to the hall.

At this time, Ruan Mudeng and his group of sedan chair bearers and temporary coolies who gave dowry were useless, and more than 20 young men all
