"You came so early?" I asked.
"Yes!" Liu Lanhua nodded and said, "Wu Xiaolu may be in Gouzi Village. If it's convenient for you and Master Yi, can you help me take a look?"
Gouzi Village ? It's different from other places and you can't go there hastily. The last time I went there, Zheng Xiaoyu was killed. If we go again this time, who might be killed?
"You should handle your family's affairs yourself! Host Yi and I can't help much." I decisively rejected Liu Lanhua.
Although Liu Lanhua was a little disappointed, she didn't say anything and turned around and left.
I still need to tell Yi Bay that Wu Xiaolu is in Gouzi Village. I went to Anqing Temple, and Yi Ba was practicing in the yard!
"Liu Lanhua came to see me. She said Wu Xiaolu was in Gouzi Village." I told Yi Ba directly.
"What do you think?" Yi Ba asked me.
“Didn’t Old Man Kong tell us that we can’t go to Gouzi Village? Since we can’t go there, let’s just forget about it!” I said.
"Are you telling the truth?" Yi Ba asked.
"What does it matter if it's true or not? I killed one last time I went there, and I don't want to kill anyone again," I said.
"We both have a dark eye on Gouzi Village. Regarding Wu Xiaolu, I think we need to go find Old Man Kong and talk to him to see what his opinion is." Yi Eight ways.
“Okay!”
This guy Yi Ba wants to go with me. I ran to Anqingguan to find him. My original intention was to go with him to ask Old Man Kong.
Since we both meant this, we naturally took a taxi together and headed towards Wuqing Mountain!
Old Man Kong was living a really comfortable life. The last time he came here, he was tending the vegetable garden. This time, he got some little chickens from somewhere and fed them there.
"Have you started feeding the chickens? You are so happy these days!" I sighed to Old Man Kong.
“There’s nothing to do when I’m idle. Let’s raise a few chickens and lay eggs to eat.” Old Man Kong smiled and said, “The eggs on the market now are all produced by feeding feed. There is no egg flavor at all.”
“Yes. Ah!" I took the words and said, "These days, if you want to eat eggs with eggy flavor, you have to feed your own chickens."
"Is there something wrong with you two? ?" Old Man Kong asked me while feeding the chickens millet.
"Wu Xiaolu is missing. Liu Lanhua said she was in Gouzi Village. Didn't you say last time that you can't just go to Gouzi Village? So we came here to ask your opinion." I asked Liu Lanhua to come to me, and Yi Ba and I went to Shangxi Village last night and briefly told Old Man Kong what happened.
After listening, Old Man Kong frowned, and then said: "Go into the house and talk."
I and Yi Ba entered the house, and Old Man Kong made a pot of tea and asked We drank first and said he had to think about it.
The teapot has been refilled twice, and Old Man Kong is still thinking about it. It seems that the decision he has to make is a bit difficult! Yi Ba and I both know the danger of Gouzi Village. Therefore, when Old Man Kong was thinking, we did not bother him.
"You go back and prepare first. Come to me at eight o'clock tonight. Let's go to Gouzi Village." Old Man Kong said.
Yi Ba and I returned to the county town. All he needed to prepare were his belongings. As for me, there was nothing to prepare for. However, whether you are going to Wuqing Mountain to pick up Old Man Kong at night or going to Gouzi Village, you must have a car for convenience.
For borrowing a car, I can only ask Bai Mengting! I called her, and Bai Mengting said she wanted to use the Z4 herself and help me find another car.
In the afternoon, Bai Mengting replied to me and asked me to pick up the car at the Bai Family Courtyard, which is now Xiangmanlou. Bai Mengting got me a van. This van was used by Xiangmanlou to transport goods. It happened to be idle today, so she gave it to me.
After dinner, I drove the broken bread and went to Wuqing Mountain with Yi Ba to the small thatched house.
When we arrived, Old Man Kong was already ready. In his hand he held a cane, black and shiny, as if made of ebony. There are some strange runes carved on the cane, and there are also some patterns that I can't understand at all.
"Ghost-killing stick?" Yi Bay recognized the crutch as soon as he saw it.
“Did your uncle tell you?” Old Man Kong asked.
"He said it accidentally when he drank too much." Yi Ba chuckled.
I haven’t used this ghost-killing stick since I came back from Gouzi Village last time. I never thought about using the ghost-killing stick again, but it was because of Gouzi Village. This was probably God’s will!
Ghost-killing stick? Just by hearing the name, you can tell that this thing is definitely a treasure!
"Are we going to have a big fight with Gouzi Village this time?" Yi Ba asked.
"There are only three of us, we can only be regarded as a mob at best. We can't get the slightest advantage in fighting in Gouzi Village." Old Han Kong paused and said: "I will go with the ghost-killing stick. I wonder if the person who calls the shots can give me some face?”
“Isn’t it Bai Yonggui who calls the shots in Gouzi Village?” I asked Old Man Kong.
"Bai Yonggui? What kind of decision can he make? He is just a puppet on the surface." Old Man Kong said.
"Who is the one who calls the shots in Gouzi Village?" I asked.
"Sishengjun." Old Man Kong said.
The combination of the Four Lives and the Three Combinations is the secret of heaven, the secret of the Twin Mountains and the Five Elements. The owner of Gouzi Village is called Sishengjun, and the place where Master Bai lives is called Sanheyuan. Both places are related to the Bai family. Is there any relationship between the two?
“Is it related to Sanheyuan?” I asked Old Man Kong tentatively.
"We have only one purpose in going to Gouzi Village this time, and that is to save people. As for other things, there is no need to ask or think too much." Old Man Kong said.
Old man Kong naturally had his reasons for not allowing questions. Gouzi Village and Sanheyuan, what is going on with these two branches of the Bai family? It's not something that can be figured out in a short while.
Besides, Bai Mengting has not passed my door yet, and I am not the son-in-law of the Bai family. As long as Bai Mengting is well, other things in their family have nothing to do with me.
The road to Gouzi Village is not easy to walk. The van that Bai Mengting lent me was originally an old vehicle, and the condition of the van was in quite bad condition due to the carelessness of hauling goods. The bumps and bumps on the country road gave me the feeling that it might fall apart at any time.
Fortunately, I drove slowly and steadily. After driving around for almost an hour, I finally drove the van to the intersection closest to Gouzi Village.
"Sitting in this car, my bones are shaking and falling apart. Next time I borrow a car, I'd better ask my sister-in-law to get a slightly better one! Look at Song Xina Prado, no matter how bad it is The road doesn't feel bumpy at all," Yi Ba said.
“How can you compare a car worth 4,000 to 5,000 yuan with a piece of rotten bread worth 4,000 to 5,000 yuan? Are they comparable?” I glanced at Yi Ba speechlessly and said, “It’s good to have a car and ride in it. No matter what, it’s better than walking!”
Yi Bazheng and I are talking nonsense! A person came towards me. I met that man once at Bai Yancai's funeral. He was Bai Yu's father - Bai Yonggui.
"Isn't this Old Man Kong? We haven't seen each other for more than 20 years!" Bai Yonggui greeted Old Man Kong enthusiastically as if he had met an old acquaintance.
"Master Chuyi and Master Yi are here too! You two have helped our Bai family a lot. If you have time, would you like to come to my house and sit down?"
Seeing that Old Man Kong ignored him, Bai Yonggui immediately turned his attention to Yi Ba and me.
“I don’t care what the adults do, but the child is innocent.” Old Man Kong straightened his old face and said, “I heard that a little girl was lost in Gouzi Village and could not be found. Home, we are here to take her back.”
"A little girl?" Bai Yonggui showed an expression of ignorance and said, "I haven't heard of it! The folk customs in our Gouzi Village have always been very simple. There can be no traffickers, and there will definitely be no trafficking. It's like this for a little girl." "She wasn't abducted by people from Gouzi Village. She was lost by herself. You are familiar with this village. Could you please help us look for her?" Old Man Kong said this intentionally or unintentionally. The ghost-killing stick in his hand was exposed.
