Adventures of a middle-aged uncle

"Old man, you seem to be telling us this intentionally, and you want to bring us in to participate in this game. I don't understand your intention." Xu Qingze's unhurried tone seemed to be giving a lesson, and his momentum was not inferior to that of Bai Zi crown.

I waited with bated breath for Bai Ziguan's answer.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ziguan laughed loudly and said, "It's not that I brought you here, but that everything has a cause and an effect. I just obey the will of God and do the right thing at the right time."

I seem to have heard these words there before, and the memory gate was instantly opened. On the day Zhang Xiong died, the old man who was fishing by the river also said something that seemed familiar.

Xu Qingze also smiled and said: "The old man is really resourceful. If you say that you obey the will of God, then the six people who died in your house also obeyed the will of God." Xu Qingze's words happened to hit Bai Ziguan's chest. At this time, there is a seam in the ground, and I want to take my wife to get in first.

Bai Ziguan still had a smile on his face: "It's not that I'm obsessed with charades. There are too few things I can control. As for the six dead, my Bai family will definitely give an explanation. The town kappa who has wanted to spy on our five major families since ancient times There are too many people here, and it is hard to guard against. Look at the other four families, they have been like rats for hundreds of years, daring not to live in the open, because they are afraid that this heirloom treasure will be lost. , Ghost or not."

I don't know what this old man Bai is referring to. What I am only concerned about now is that Yinshi is only a quarter of an hour away. The closer to the critical moment, the more nervous I become. I raised my hand and tidied up my wife's messy hair. Look at this In the dark night with only a crescent moon, I meditate on peace in my heart.

When the time came, Bai Ziguan stood up and said to me, "Follow me."

When I came to the two intertwined trees, the already cool temperature dropped a little bit, and my arms immediately got goosebumps from the stress.

Bai Ziguan stopped in his tracks.Looking up at the big trees nestled together.Slowly closing my eyes, the air began to form a small air current, swirling around my trouser legs, and the fallen leaves slowly floated up. At this time, the bright moon was right in the middle of the two trees, and the leaves were fluttering, fluttering. sound.Bai Ziguan opened his eyes and said, "It's time to start."

I pushed my wife to the middle of the tree, and a ray of moonlight hit my wife's face softly, and her pale cheeks slowly regained some vitality at this moment.Bai Ziguan put a long-prepared charm on his wife's face, and while muttering something, he gently covered his wife's forehead with his hands. The charm disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, but Bai Ziguan's hand began to tremble involuntarily.When the talisman was about to disappear, Bai Ziguan covered his heart with a grim expression until the talisman completely disappeared.

A mouthful of blood spewed out, Bai Ziguan couldn't support himself and fell backwards, He Hao hurriedly helped him up.

I saw that my wife still didn't wake up, and Master Bai seemed to be injured, so I hurriedly supported Bai Ziguan together with He Hao and said, "Master Bai, are you alright?"

Bai Ziguan shook his hand weakly and said: "It's okay, this spell has a certain counterproductive effect, I'll just rest for a while, go and see your wife." Xu Qingze replaced me, and I half-kneeled in front of my wife and waited for her wake up.

When the moonlight dissipated from her face little by little, the wife finally slowly opened her eyes: "Li Ming, hubby. Where is this?"

Holding my wife's face, I couldn't help but burst into tears: "Wife, are you hungry? I prepared some snacks for you that you like."

"What's the matter with you, didn't you just have dinner in the afternoon. He Hao, Professor Xu, why are you all here..." Song Ziyue was puzzled, and he was even more puzzled when he saw himself sitting in a wheelchair.

After He Hao explained briefly to Ziyue, I stroked my wife's hair and said, "My wife, since you're awake, let's leave Ruixiang City now and never come back."

"But our home is still here." Ziyue stood up from the wheelchair, went to Bai Ziguan and knelt down: "Thank you, old man, for saving your life..."

Seeing my wife knelt down towards Bai Ziguan, I quickly knelt down in front of her, followed by three kowtows to Bai Ziguan

Although Bai Ziguan was a little weak physically, he was in good spirits. He smiled and said, "It's fate to save you. I don't need to say anything else. Let's go back and have a good rest." It is not an honor for Professor Xu to help me go back to rest."

Xu Qingze raised his eyes to support Bai Ziguan and said, "Of course, Mr. Bai, you don't have to be polite."

"Well, He Hao, I'll send old Mr. Bai back to rest. You send Lao Li and his wife. Let's meet tomorrow morning.

He Hao nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Bai, take care, and come to visit you in two days." Before leaving, Ziyue asked me in a low voice, "Honey, what's the name of this tree."

I looked up at the verdant and verdant canopy and said, "This is a mulberry tree."

Bai Ziguan didn't go very far, it's not just that my voice is a bit loud, but also that he has very good hearing.He didn't look back, but the voice came over clearly: "One is a mulberry tree, and the two are called Fusang."

Upon hearing Mr. Bai's introduction, the wife hurriedly bowed to the hibiscus tree again: "Thank you for the sacred tree."

He Hao said, "Let's go back first."

The wife replied: "Then we are going back there. Will such an accident happen again when we go back to our house?"

"Here, my wife, why don't we go to a hotel first." Why didn't I even consider this point, no matter where I live now, it's actually quite dangerous.

He Hao scratched his head and said, "Why don't you go live with me first, and we can review what happened in the past few days and make a judgment."

"Hey, this..."

"Okay, then thank you Xiao He."

I watched my wife happily agree to this suggestion, so I didn't say anything.

He Hao's house is still the same, but he hasn't come back for the past two days. There is a faint musty smell unique to old houses in the unventilated house, but there is only a little bit, and the smell will no longer be obvious after staying for a little longer.

He Hao opened the window to let the night breeze in.Ziyue went back and forth in He Hao's house twice and said with a smile, "Xiao He, your house is quite tidy, not at all like a bachelor's house." After finishing speaking, she went to the kitchen and walked around twice and said: "It looks like you don't cook much, the kitchen is covered with a thick layer of dust."

When He Hao eats, he cooks rice for others in a small restaurant and cooks an extra portion for himself, so the kitchen at home is just a decoration.

After visiting around, my wife said, "Xiao He, why don't you have any green plants in your house? Only a house with plants can look like a home. Otherwise, Sister Gaiming will bring you some pots from home."

We don’t have many pots of green plants in our house, and as far as my wife’s ability to raise plants is concerned, the real state of the flowers in the house is half-dead, so she still plans to give them to He Hao, so even if it is to repay He Hao, she will not be able to do it. Bar.I can't say these words easily, my wife's temper is not easy to mess with.What's more, she just woke up, so it's better to follow her.

He Hao obviously didn't expect Song Ziyue to say this, and he was obviously stunned before he said: "That's fine, we need some plants at home, so that the air is good. Then sister-in-law, you sleep in the bedroom, and I will sleep on the sofa at night."

"That's troublesome, Lao He." I want to go to bed early, I feel extremely tired these two days.

"This sofa is too hard. Xiao He, do you still have bedding at home? I'll help you spread the sofa."

"Don't bother sister-in-law, sometimes I close the door late, and I just go to sleep on the sofa when I get home. I sleep on the sofa more often than on the bed."

"That's it, I'm so sorry. Lao Li and I have caused you too much trouble recently."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of trouble. You guys go to rest, you haven't slept well because of your sister-in-law these two days, Lao Li."

After hearing what He Hao said, Song Ziyue gave me a cold look.

This glance made me tremble immediately, it's not because I tore off the talisman.Since my wife fell into a coma, I secretly slipped back the charm that Grandma Lin gave her.But even so, the guilt in my heart still hasn't lessened by half.

"That's it for now, let's rest. Good night." Song Ziyue walked past me and entered the bedroom.

In fact, the time is now close to dawn, and this time is the coldest time in the whole night. I couldn't help hugging my wife from the back, wanting to give each other more warmth.

The wife visibly trembled all over, but she didn't make any other movements. After a while, she whispered: "Li Ming, sleep more."

When he was in a hazy sleep, he half-opened his eyes and saw a person beside the bed: "Honey, why don't you go to bed?"

"Silly boy, grandma came to see you."

I sat up in panic, only to realize that the surroundings had changed, it was no longer He Hao’s home, but the bungalow where I lived when I was a child, and the place where I lay was the kang of my grandma’s house: “Grandma, why are you here?”

Grandma touched my head and said, "Grandma misses you so much."

My nose was sour, and I burrowed into grandma's arms, "I miss you too, grandma."

Grandma sighed and said, "At this time, it is not safe to go anywhere. Grandma told you that there is a big tortoise at the bottom of Xiangyun Lake, and the place where the turtle's head is facing is the Lingshan Mountain. There is an old friend of Grandma on this Lingshan Mountain." , you can call him Uncle Dashan. Grandma hasn’t seen him for a long time, so I’ll go visit him with grandma tomorrow.”

"All right, grandma. How shall we go?"

Grandma's figure slowly faded away, and I sat up again and looked at the window.It is already daytime.

I haven't dreamed of grandma and her old man for so long, so she is not dreaming for me again.Thinking of this, I was a little excited, got up and jumped out of bed, and ran towards the door with bare feet.

As soon as the door opened, he saw He Hao sitting at the dining table poking garlic.There was a busy figure of his wife in the kitchen, and the two of them were chatting nonchalantly.

The atmosphere was very harmonious, but it was a bit embarrassing for me to be in the same spot with bare feet.Seeing me waking up, He Hao said, "My sister-in-law said she would cook us a big meal to nourish our bodies, so I'll help her."

"Oh, then I'll wash up and join you." I turned and went back to the bedroom.

"You mean your grandma gave you a dream." My wife looked at me in surprise: "Her old man has been dead for so many years, and she still can't worry about her grandson."

"My grandma loved me the most since I was a child. After she passed away, I often dreamed about her, but these few years I dreamed less. But she asked me to go to Lingshan to find a man called Dashanshu, but this Lingshan is a cemetery. "

He Hao frowned and said, "According to what her old man said, there are turtles at the bottom of Xiangyun Lake. This fact has been proven to exist. She said that the tortoise corresponds to Lingshan. I think this is very mysterious, because none of us know What does this tortoise look like, let alone where this tortoise corresponds to, maybe your grandma will give you a hint."

As he said that, He Hao took out a piece of white paper, and simply marked four directions. He drew Xiangyun Lake in the middle, and Lingshan in the southeast direction.An ugly tortoise is drawn in the middle of Xiangyun Lake, which is made of seven circles.

Looking at the turtle painted by He Hao, the wife couldn't help laughing, but said nothing.

I said, "Your painting style is quite abstract."

He Hao stared at me speechlessly, and continued to complete her painting. On this piece of paper, he circled the place where we lived and the place where the Bai family lived, and then found a picture of Ruixiang City from under the table. The map was placed under the white paper.

At this moment, none of the three spoke. This is one of the patterns in the river map that Xu Qingze found from the documents that day. Whether it is a coincidence or not, it seems a bit weird.

He Hao went on to say: "Are you surprised? The Bai family told us part of the truth, but also hid part of the truth. The same is true for the Lin family. They first told us to leave here, and then deliberately avoided seeing us. What are they trying to hide?" And that’s why when we checked Wang Zhicheng, Zhou Jiaqi, and Qi Qi, the information was not complete. I was surprised that it was not uncommon for one person to have incomplete information, but it was a bit weird for three people to have incomplete information. Until last night I met at Bai’s house It was Zhou Jiaqi who came up with this idea."

"The Bai family is on Zhou Jiaqi's side." I asked hastily.

"I can't say that. I can only say that someone in the Bai family is deliberately covering up Zhou Jiaqi. There is also deliberately concealing the truth about why Wang Zhicheng wanted revenge, and he may even be an accomplice."

"This Bai family is too arrogant, can they manipulate other people's life and death by relying on their own family's great fortune?" The wife said angrily.

I lightly patted my wife on the shoulder and persuaded me, "Could they also have unspeakable difficulties? This old man Bai doesn't look like a bad person, and last night, old man Bai vomited blood before he regained your sanity."

A dark light flashed in Song Ziyue's eyes, but he was not speaking.

The author has something to say:

Oh oh, what should I say, take your time
