Cars drive through the concrete roads in the countryside.
Along the road, in front of the spacious and beautiful villages, villagers in simple clothes gathered together and laughed and talked.
There are villagers carrying farm tools on their backs and walking slowly down the side slope road. It is obvious that they have been working in the fields until now.
In the car, Su Wu was sitting in the back seat, playing with a copper Bagua mirror in his hand.
——This is a magic weapon he obtained from the statue of Zhuhu Lang.
The old man guarding the temple knew that he wanted to take the artifact away, but he did not stop him at all. He agreed with a wave of his hand. Of course, there was a reason why the 'clan's unit' required the old man guarding the temple to fully cooperate with Su Wu.
But the bigger factor still depends on the old man's unreasonable closeness to Su Wu.
The other party asked Su Wu more than once-does he have any relatives named Li?
hundreds of years ago,
He became a disciple of an old man named Li.
That old man - Li Yueshan regarded him as his own son, and there were several junior brothers and sisters around him who also had the surname Li. This relationship was not blood relatives, but it was more like blood relatives.
So Su Wu nodded in response to the old man guarding the temple's question - he did have many relatives named Li.
After getting the Bagua Bronze Mirror,
The ‘Tianpeng-Palm Punishment Seal’ will contain it.
Making it a kind of "torture instrument" under the control of "Tianpeng-Zhang Punishing Seal".
This is the third ‘torture instrument’ collected by Tianpeng-Zhang Xingyin.
The first one is ‘Li Gui’s writing’.
The second one is ‘Tie the guile’.
Su Wu has not yet figured out the function of the ‘Bagua Bronze Mirror’.
He used this mirror to reflect himself, and Yun Nishang, Jiang Yingying and others were able to reflect them in detail. He conducted many experiments along the way, but he still has not discovered the true function of this mirror.
Perhaps this mirror is used to reflect some strange things that are difficult to detect.
Su Wu was thinking in his heart, and as soon as he thought,
The bronze mirror in his hand turned into a golden light, flashed and disappeared without a trace.
"Ahead is the courtyard where our family used to live." Looking at the residential houses passing by outside the car window, Jiang Yingying pointed to a residence in the distance with several dilapidated bungalows and the courtyard door wide open, and asked Su Wu
Said, "The place where our family lives now is just a few hundred meters above the old yard."
Jiang Yingying’s old yard is located on a downhill slope.
It is a relatively remote location with few residents around.
When Yun Nishang heard Jiang Yingying talking in the back seat, she slowed down the car a lot so as not to miss Jiang Yingying's new home a few hundred meters away.
at this time,
In front of the old Jiang family house surrounded by sandstone bricks,
A truck slowly drove out from the door. A young man stood on the roadside outside the door and kept making gestures, indicating to the driver in the truck to adjust the steering wheel.
The truck without any cargo drove out of the fence and stopped on the roadside.
The young man got into the passenger seat of the truck, restarted the vehicle, and passed by the off-road vehicle.
Su Wu looked sideways slightly,
I happened to see the young man in the passenger seat casting envious glances at the off-road vehicle he was riding in.
This boxy, big car is a big toy that most men have dreamed of getting.
After the truck passed by,
A tall old man walked out of the courtyard gate,
He turned his head and glanced at the slowly approaching off-road vehicle, then turned around to close the two stainless steel fence doors.
“Can you stop here for a moment?
The old man in front of the door is my grandpa." Jiang Yingying saw the truck drive out of her old house, and her grandpa followed. She looked a little confused, and then asked Yun Nishang.
Yun Nishang nodded: "Okay, I'll park the car on the side of the road."
As she spoke, she turned the steering wheel neatly and parked the car in an open space where it would not block traffic.
"Su Wu, Yun...Sister Yun, please wait for me in the car now.
Let me see what grandpa is doing and come back later." Jiang Yingying said a few words to Su Wu and Yun Nishang, then opened the car door and jumped out of the car. The emergency can flapped its wings and flew down behind her.
Got the car.
Seeing this, Su Wu stepped out of the car and said to Jiang Yingying, "I'll go there with you.
It would be a bit impolite for us not to go and place it in front of the host."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Jiang Yingying shook her head repeatedly,
However, when she saw that Su Wu was willing to follow, she still looked very happy.
At this time, Yun Nishang opened the driver's door and got out of the car. She even took out some gifts from the trunk of the car and followed Su Wu.
"Yingying!"
The tall old man who had chained the fence gate turned around and saw two women and a man gathered together. He waved to Jiang Yingying.
Jiang Yingying hurriedly responded, holding the emergency can and walking towards her grandfather.
After walking a few steps, he looked back at Su Wu to see if Yun Nishang had followed.
She deliberately slowed down her steps so that she would not be too far away from Su Wu and Yun Nichang. When she stood still in front of her grandfather, Su Wu and Yun Nichang happened to be approaching behind her.
"grandfather!"
Jiang Yingying called the tall old man with a smile, then turned sideways and introduced her friend to the old man: "Grandpa, this is Su Wu, the friend I have been telling you about, the friend who took me away from Mingzhou!"
"Is it this little brother who saved you?" The old man was filled with gratitude, and he thanked Su Wu repeatedly with bows and bows, "Thank you, thank you so much. You saved Yingying, and you also saved the old man's life."
ah!"
Su Wu avoided the old man's gift and said, "Uncle Jiang, you don't have to do this.
Your granddaughter and I helped each other and supported each other, and we were able to get out of Mingzhou alive.
There is no saying among us who saved whom."
He supported the old man so that the old man would not really give him three bows and nine kowtows.
After talking like this for a while,
The old man felt much relieved. He took out a white handkerchief from his shirt pocket and wiped his tears. He looked at the graceful woman behind Su Wu - Yun Nichang. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "Su Xiao
Brother, is this your...girlfriend?"
I asked,
He turned his head and glanced at his granddaughter, who was approaching the fence gate of the old house and kept looking inside the door, and sighed silently in his heart.
"no.
Su Wu and I are work colleagues, and I am his assistant.
This time we came here together because of work tasks, so we are disturbing the old man." Yun Nichang responded to the old man with a smile, and at the same time handed over several gifts in her hand, "You must accept it for your kindness!"
"No, no, you are a guest. It's not easy to come all the way. How can I accept your gift?" the old man refused.
Su Wu is really not good at dealing with this kind of situation.
Then he stood beside him like a wooden man.
Jiang Yingying was still looking at the old house inside the fence gate. She frowned slightly, as if she noticed something was wrong.
After refusing for a long time, the old man finally accepted the gift from Yun Nishang, and turned to his granddaughter standing at the fence gate: "Look at you, how can you let guests bring these things when guests come to your house?
Did you buy anything for Miss Yun and Su Wu?"
"I bought barbecue!" Jiang Yingying replied.
After replying, he felt that the gift he gave was too unworthy. He glanced timidly at Su Wu and Yun Nishang, then looked through the fence door: "Grandpa, what did you put in the old house?
What did that truck pull into the old yard just now?"
"Why are you asking these questions?
Let’s go, let’s go home!
Kill the big chicken at home. I'll go to Zhang Shun's place to buy some mutton and cook something delicious for Brother Su and Miss Yun in the evening." The old man urged Jiang Yingying, then turned to look at Su Wu, smiling.
He said, "Brother Su, can you eat mutton?"
If I can’t eat it, I’ll buy some beef.”
"You can eat everything, so you don't have to spend so much money," Su Wu replied.
Then the old man asked Yun Nishang if she had any taboos. When he looked back and saw Jiang Yingying still standing at the gate of the fence, he suddenly frowned: "Why are you still standing there?
We’re almost home, it’s time for dinner soon!”
Jiang Yingying looked back at the old house and turned her face, her face turned pale and her eyes were frightened!
Su Wu looked at her face and immediately realized something was wrong.
Stepping to Jiang Yingying's side,
He also looked inside the fence gate.
The fence gate faces a row of bungalows diagonally.
The two old wooden doors in the main room of the bungalow have been removed.
In the main room, there is a dark object vaguely placed.
Su Wu concentrated his eyes,
Suddenly I saw clearly what the dark object was - it was a coffin!
The coffin was supported by a stool to prevent it from decaying after being grounded for too long. The coffin lid was placed separately from the coffin. Su Wu could even see some of the patterns painted and carved on the inside of the coffin clearly!
Why should I place a coffin in my home?
Su Wu's eyes were confused.
Jiang Yingying pursed her lips and tears silently flowed down the corners of her eyes. She looked at the panicked and embarrassed old man and called out in a vague voice: "Grandpa..."
"Eh, eh!"
The old man's eyes were full of heartache, and he quickly approached his granddaughter, reaching out to wipe away the tears on her face. He looked at his own hands and felt a little at a loss: "Look, you kid, what are you doing?
Hey, hey..."
He raised his eyes and looked at Su Wu apologetically: "Did you really... scare Brother Su?
Hi,
Nowadays, the price of wood is cheap, and the price of longevity wood is also good.
I'm thinking of preparing the longevity materials now,
When I get old, I will lie down and bury her, so I won’t have to worry about her. I didn’t expect you guys, Mr. Su, to come so quickly. I’m so embarrassed, so embarrassed!”
"It doesn't matter." Su Wu looked at Jiang Yingying, whose shoulders were trembling slightly.
Her parents were killed by Li Gui, and their heads were floating in front of her eyes.
Anyone who experiences such a situation will inevitably leave a shadow in their heart that will last their entire lives.
Even though she returned to the countryside and was busy farming with her grandfather and spent some time, the trauma was slightly healed, but the shadow of terror never left her. Now she saw that her grandfather had prepared longevity materials for herself in advance.
Jiang Yingying suddenly recalled the moment when her parents fled.
However,
There is actually nothing wrong with what the old man did.
He purchased longevity materials for himself in advance, mostly so that if he suddenly passed away one day, his granddaughter would not burst into tears. He had to order the materials for his birthday right now. The ready-made materials could be used, thus saving his granddaughter some trouble.
