The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 144 Promise
Is it really as Uncle San said?
I looked at the old stall, and the old stall nodded silently, obviously what the third uncle said was right.It was the old stall who burned the dead tree, and the burrow there was also destroyed.When we escaped, the vines we used were also prepared for us by the old stall.

But Third Uncle looked at the ruins and shook his head again and again.

When I asked about the reason, the third uncle sighed and said, "Chu Liuyan and the half-dead symptoms on me must have been infected by the insect stiffness here. After many twists and turns, although the disappearance of the two couriers I figured it out, but I still couldn't find a way to rescue the half-corpse. Now this place has collapsed again, it seems that this is our fate."

Ma Su thought for a while and said, "Maybe the gentian sand mentioned by Zhou Zheng can cure this kind of insect stiffness. It's a pity that we didn't catch a few mirages, so why don't I go down and try my luck?"

The third uncle glanced at Ma Di, and said with a smile, "What? It's the old man's fault. Is he so enthusiastic this time, is he trying to repay my father for saving my life?"

I remembered that when we were besieged by mountain dogs, the third uncle did indeed save Ma Di.Presumably Ma Di didn't say it at the time, but he knew it well.This time I took the initiative to go down to catch the mirage, which may not mean what my third uncle said.But after third uncle said this, he couldn't hold back.

Ma Di glared at the third uncle: "Smelly old man, Ma Di remembers the favor of saving your life. I don't owe you any favors. I will grab a mirage and pay you back."

With that said, Ma Di turned around and prepared to go down the mountain.

Due to the unknown situation below, we have just escaped from danger, so naturally it is not easy for Ma Di to take another risk.

The third uncle waved his hand: "Okay, blame the old man, don't be childish. You don't have to pay back the life of the Daoist. The fire below has not been extinguished. If you go down at this time, you will lose your old life." It's worth it. What's more, those mirages have been burned to death long ago, where can they be caught?"

Looking at the ruins after the fire, I had mixed feelings in my heart.The hope of saving Chu Liuyan and Third Uncle was burnt out like this fire.But it's no wonder the old man. After all, if he hadn't surrounded Wei to save Zhao, we would have been eaten by those mountain dogs and mandrills long ago.

Our group, led by the old stall, left Fuyang Mountain and returned to his thatched huts.

When we arrived at the old stall's house, it was already late at night.The old stall owner was not bad, and he personally spread some pancakes for us to eat.Although the hands of the old stall had once picked up bones, it was disgusting to think about it.But we have been hungry for a day and a night, and we are hungry, and the smell of the pancakes still overcomes my psychological fear, and we wiped out those pancakes.That night I slept at the old stall's house.

When I woke up the next day, I saw the sunlight outside the window, bright and dazzling.

I once again felt the preciousness of life, but when I thought of the half-dead symptoms on my third uncle, I began to feel depressed again.

We just got out of danger last night, and our hearts were in a mess.After dawn, we formally expressed our gratitude to the old stall.

The old stall head waved his hand, but called me over alone, looked around and asked in a low voice, "Boy, did you forget our agreement?"

I froze for a moment, then remembered.I had an agreement with the old stall head, he promised to help me save people, and I would give him the five emperors' money of Jiaqing Tongbao on me.Although he said he was borrowing it for a year, but in my opinion, since this thing is so precious, it might be difficult to get it back.

But since I have a word with others first, I can't just keep my word.The main reason is that I only know that this king coin is very precious, but I really don't feel that there is anything special about it. It is nothing more than being able to defend myself when encountering evil spirits.But this kind of magic weapon for self-defense should be more than just Wang Qian, and its role should be more than that.

Seeing the old stall asked, I took off the king's money around my neck.When the king's money was in the cave, I took it off.Later, when I was rushing outside, I took it back from my third uncle.

I handed the king coin to the old stall.

The old stall's face was flushed with excitement, and the hand that took the Wang Qian trembled a little.

The old stall owner took the king's money and carefully carried it with him.He smiled and said to me: "My boy, you really keep your promise. My old stall owner likes it very much. Don't worry, I will return this thing in the original after one year, and I will do what I promise. At that time, you can come here Ask me for it."

I waved my hand: "This is what it should be, I promised you, how can I go back on it? Then I will visit you in a year."

The old stall head nodded, and said: "Let's do this. I'm sorry that you don't have this protective device on your body. I'll give you two things as compensation and thanks."

As the old stall said, he took out a cloth bag from his body and opened it with his hands.

In one of the cloth bags was a tooth.The teeth looked like the teeth of a ferocious beast. They were yellowish in color, long and sharp, and one could imagine that it should have bitten off the bones of many animals.There is a red thread on the tooth, which can also be worn around the neck.

The old stall head put the thing on my neck, and introduced: "This tooth is from when I went to Yagu two years ago, I met two mountain dogs fighting for the king, one black and one gray, biting each other. But they both lost. I saw the black mountain dog bite off the gray mountain dog's throat, and it died of exhaustion. I took its canine teeth away and kept it until today. This thing can ward off evil spirits. You wear it."

I also heard from my third uncle that there are many things that ward off evil spirits among the people.This black dog tooth is one of them.

"On Rites" records: Dogs belong to "the animal of the most yang" and have the function of deterring and defusing evil. The most deterrent thing on a dog is its sharp teeth.Now I know that mountain dog is actually a kind of sand wolf.The mountain dog king is actually the wolf king.The wolf king's teeth are naturally better.According to this, this wolf tooth is really a treasure.Unexpectedly, the old stall can really give up love.

However, this also shows from the side that the king coin is even more precious.

Then, the old stall opened a backpack he carried when he went up the mountain.

He took out a glass bottle from inside, which was about the size of a can, with a sealed top.The old stall put the glass bottle in front of me, and I saw several worms entangled in it at a glance.

Seeing those worms, I was a little stunned, pointing to the glass bottle and speechless.

Because those few worms turned out to be the earth mirage that we tried so hard to find, which is what Ma Di said.

The old stall owner smiled: "When I burned that dead tree, the bone-picking hand was quick enough to catch these five worms. I know you need this thing very much, so I'll give it to you too. But don't tell me just yet. They said, I'm afraid they will know and won't let you give me this copper coin."
