Yin Changsheng

Chapter 48 Leopard Cannibalism
Because of the curse, we once suspected that the second grandpa did it.

But now that he found this book, Jiang Li smiled: "The most dangerous place is the safest place. If we use death to erase our traces from the beginning, we will subconsciously erase this person's role. I have to say that Zhang Duangong is a very smart person."

"Master, what do you mean, Zhang Duangong killed himself to remove his suspicion? But he killed himself, and you burned all the corpses. It's not worthwhile to do so."

Jiang Li squinted his eyes and smiled at me: "You have become smarter, but there are accidents in everything, and what you see with the naked eye may not be true. Now Zhu Youshu, Dragon and Tiger Sect, and Yin Yin have all come to this small mountain village, This place is much more lively than I imagined, put everything back in place, and let's go."

I arranged around the room according to Jiang Li's instructions. The room was originally turned into a mess by us, but Jiang Li could remember what it looked like when we came in, and put everything back in its original place one by one, and then exited the room.

During the day, everything in this village seemed normal and quiet.

But when I returned to the house, many villagers had already gathered in front of my house. Most of them had heard the rumor that something happened to my father and came to find out the details.

The second grandpa came to my door first, no matter what the villagers asked, he just sat at the door and smoked, and didn't answer anything. When Jiang Li and I came back, the villagers immediately shifted their focus to ask us.

The second grandfather took no trouble, stood up and reprimanded angrily: "There is nothing to ask, Chen Anrong is dead, if anyone asks again, don't blame me for being rude."

The second grandpa's stern refusal made the villagers dare not ask any more questions. Feeling that it was boring, they left my house in a lack of interest.

Jiang Li stepped forward and said to the second grandfather: "Paper can't hold fire, no matter what you do, it's hard to stop the crowd, just find a suitable time and just tell them about it."

The Second Grandfather is now convinced of Jiang Liji, and nodded: "Listen to Master Jiang, I'll go and see Chen Xiao's grandma."

After the second grandfather finished speaking, he entered the room and left me and Jiang Li standing at the door.

Just when there was nothing to say, a figure appeared beside the room.

An old man with gray hair walked towards us with an oil paper bag and a cane. When I saw him, I immediately pointed to him and said to Jiang Li, "The clothes seller is here."

There are no barbershops or clothing stores in the countryside, and they don’t have that much leisure time to go to the county town to buy clothes and cut their hair. It is impossible for those businessmen to put such a big profit on their hands and not ask for it. Wandering around the villages with his tools, he can earn a lot of money.

The same goes for the clothes sellers, who put two bags of clothes in oiled paper bags and wandered around the villages with them. The clothes we usually buy are all bought from these wandering people.

Jiang Li looked at the gray-haired old man at the beginning of the film, turned around and entered the house without saying a word, when the gray-haired old man came to my door, he had already changed into the brand new Taoist robe and came out.

The old man was standing at the door with a shoulder pole, and he didn't put down his cane. When Jiang Li came out, he saluted the old man and said respectfully, "Old Taoist."

The old man chuckled, put down the oil paper bag on his shoulders, clamped the crutches under his armpit, and saluted in the same way: "Jiang Shizu."

I didn't quite understand who this person was, but the second grandfather heard the voice outside the door, walked out of the house, and was stunned when he saw the old man.

Pointing to the old man, he said in amazement, "Didn't you get carried away by the leopard?"

Only then did I realize that this old man is the old blind man who told the fortunes of my grandfather and his three brothers decades ago. I came to the village to see my grandfather and the others, but I didn't expect to come.

Knowing his identity, what I am most curious about is not his ability, but the same problem as the second grandpa, so I couldn't help but say: "Yes, they said that you were taken away by a leopard to save my grandpa. ah."

Hearing my voice, the old man laughed and said, "That leopard took me to its den because it was afraid that I would freeze to death. It didn't want to eat me. It is a vegetarian."

I don’t believe it. The adults at home have been scaring the children since I was a child. If anyone is disobedient, they will tell the children that if they make trouble again, they will throw you out of the door and let the leopards take them away. Leopards have always been meat eaters in my impression. , and especially likes to eat human flesh, since he was taken away, how could he let him go.

In Jiang Li's eyes, my behavior was a little impolite, he knocked me, and then asked me to go forward to pick up the old man's oil paper bag, I walked over immediately, but the old man didn't let me touch his old looking bag , Said: "You can't lift it."

I thought to myself that there would be a bag of clothes in it soon, how could I not lift it up, so I said stubbornly, "I can."

Seeing how persistent I was, the old man put the bag on the ground, then entered the house with Jiang Li and the second grandfather, and said to me after crossing the threshold: "Little baby, if you can lift my bag, the contents inside Everything is for you."

This is the first time I have seen this old man, but it is not the first time I have heard of this old man. In my eyes, the mystery of this old man is only a little lower than that of Jiang Li. Sometimes, I even feel that he is even more mysterious than Jiang Li. , Jiang Li's things are very expensive, so his things must be very expensive, so he said, "If I mention it, will you really give it to me?"

The old man said kindly: "I'll give you all, but if you can't mention it, you can't enter the house today."

I chuckled, this is my home, even if I couldn’t lift it, I wouldn’t be unable to enter the house. I bent down and grabbed the bag, and lifted it with all my strength. I never thought that the bag was as light as a goose feather, and I used too much force. , a stagger fell to the ground.

I was about to get up, but what I saw frightened me so much that I crawled back again and again.

My butt was hurting, and I was about to get up, but I saw something incredible in front of my eyes.

The bag I was carrying just now was gone, and standing in front of me was a piebald leopard half a meter high, staring at me, tilting its head, and then walking towards me.

I was so frightened that I screamed, and my heels kept pushing on the ground like a motor was added, and my buttocks stuck to the ground and moved back, but the piebald leopard was chasing me, and still refused to let me go.

I was so frightened that tears fell out, and I hurriedly shouted: "Master, there is a leopard, save me quickly."

But Jiang Li didn't care about me this time, he just sat inside and chatted with the old man, regardless of my life or death.

I moved for a while and put my back against the pigsty. The pigs in the pigsty also saw the leopard and ran around in the pigsty like crazy in fright.

I was so frightened that I stood up and ran along the road next to the house, crying and calling for help.

But the piebald leopard is chasing after me, as fast as I am, it will have more pieces.

Next, I ran away crying and shouting up and down the whole village, and the leopard kept chasing after me, which attracted the attention of the villagers, and some villagers called me: "You baby hit the evil rope, cry and run, which one will kill you ?”

I had runny nose and tears, and shouted without looking back: "The leopard is chasing me."

The villagers said, "Where are the leopards?"

After hearing what the villagers said, I thought the leopard had been thrown off by me, but when I looked up, it was still behind me, about to pounce on me, and I was so scared that I ran like hell again.

In this way, I ran up and down the village three times, and I was exhausted. When I passed the door for the fourth time, Jiang Li stood up, walked out, grabbed me, grabbed my hands, and grabbed me. Get up and face the leopard.

The leopard was merciless, and jumped towards me with one leap. I was so scared that I closed my eyes and kicked my feet on Jiang Li's body non-stop, trying to make him let me go, so that I could escape for my life.

But after closing his eyes for a while, Jiang Li patted me: "Stinky boy, why are you so timid, don't say you are my Jiang Li's apprentice when you go out in the future, where are there leopards!"

I was still in tears, sobbing and looking ahead, there was nothing but two bags on the ground, I wiped my nose and said, "It really was there just now."

Jiang Li frowned and put me down, pointing to the dirt on his Taoist robe that I kicked out: "This is the best Taoist robe I have, if you don't wash it for me, you will be beaten."

I was so scared that my legs were weak, but Jiang Li didn't care about me. When I entered the house again, the old man shouted again: "I still have a bag, little baby, if you can lift that bag, I'll put it in the bag." also give you something."

I was so scared just now, how dare I rush into the house now, and looked at the old man not very friendly: "I don't want it anymore, you don't have anything in your bag, only the leopard."

The old man stared at me with a smile on his face: "You really don't want it?"

I nod very sure.

The old man said: "That's a pity, I can only give it to others in the future."

After he finished speaking, he didn't care about the two bags outside, and sat talking with Jiang Li and the second grandpa, while I rested by the side, panting.

The second grandpa and the old man naturally have the most things to talk about. After all, this old man is the one who changed the fate of their three brothers. However, from the tone of the second grandpa, I didn't feel how grateful I am to this old man. Said: "When we saw you, you also looked like this. Now decades have passed. Even if you haven't been eaten by leopards, you are already too old. You haven't changed at all."

The old man always spoke with a smile, and he laughed: "I'm not like you, I have no worries, no burdens, live a relaxed life, and don't age so fast."

The second grandfather asked again: "Then how do you know what is going to happen in our village? I have been to a fortune teller before, and I am not so clever."

The old man smiled and said nothing.

I also took a breather now, looked at the old man and asked: "Grandpa Yao and Second Grandpa said you are blind, but you don't look blind."

As soon as I asked, Second Grandpa suddenly scolded me, I shouldn't have said that.

The old man didn't care: "This is the nature of children." Then he said to me, "In the future, you will understand that what you see with your eyes is false, and what you see with your heart is true. Watch carefully."

"I don't believe it." I said.

The old man was amused by me, and laughed.

Before I was running in the village and calling for help, people in the village were worried about me, and now they all came to the door to ask what was going on, but when I entered the house, the old man attracted my attention, and I learned from the second grandfather that he was a Grandpa and his three brothers, the old fortune tellers, didn't want to miss this opportunity, and asked the old gentleman to tell their fortunes one after another.

It can be counted as longevity, fortune, or the future of future generations.

However, the old man always used only one sentence instead: "Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, and what you sow will reap the fruit. As long as you have kind thoughts in your heart, you will naturally have a lot of happiness and longevity. You don't have to pay too much attention to this."

After the old man answered the villagers' questions, the second grandfather took the time to ask: "Both the eldest and the third child are dead, and now I am the only one left. I should be there soon. Once I die, the Chen family will be protected by Master Jiang. Since you are here Our village, please do some calculations, what is going on with our Chen family, so that I can die with peace of mind."

But the old man put his eyes on me and said: "Actually, I came this time mainly to see this little doll." Then he looked at Jiang Li again, "Jiang Daochang is a talented dragon, and he can turn his hand over like a cloud. Yu, if there is nothing he can't solve, I won't join in the fun. But Daoist Jiang, you have to pay attention, there is a crouching tiger hiding in this place besides your coiling dragon, it depends on which of you two moves first, When a dragon and a tiger fight, there is bound to be an injury. Jiang Daochang, you are gentle, and I am afraid you will suffer."
