Chapter 26: Magician or Lobbyist?
I don't know what Hu Laoshi said to my father, mother and grandfather.
Just entered the home, their conversation has come to an end, I heard in the yard, the house old father to Hu Laoshi said: "Uncle Hu, you do not with this group of young people in general, they are young, do not know, back to me to teach them a good lesson, oh no, you don't worry, will not beat the children."
"Ai ai, that's good that's good." Hu Laoshi smiled gently and said to my grandfather, "Older brother, I know that Da Niu and Er Niu are bad-tempered, you can take care of the children, they are all good."
Grandpa smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's rare for you to be so attentive, and I'll have to let those little brats thank you."
I stood in the courtyard and wondered, what is this Hu Laoshi singing? How come my father, my mother and grandfather are so polite to him? Although it is true that in terms of seniority, he is the same as my grandfather, and his age is not small, but usually, not to mention my father, is our group of young people, and how many of them respect him? He is a magician!
However, hearing my grandfather and my father promise not to beat me up, my heart is still much more solid, but I am not particularly grateful to Hu Laoshi, after all, I am still wondering how this old magician persuaded my father not to beat me up.
I lifted the door curtain and entered the house, it just so happened that Hu Lao Si had already stood up to leave, seeing me come in, immediately revealed an extremely amiable smile that made me feel like vomiting, saying, "Yo, talking about Yin Le this child came back, look at this child, how spirited and sturdy he has grown."
"Well, Yinle ah! Your little brat is in trouble again, three days without beating you can pee up to the roof of the house is not it?" As soon as my dad saw me, that face immediately boarded up, angrily scolded.
"Ai ai, Da Niu, why are you scolding the child again." Hu Laoshi hurriedly spoke out to stop it.
It is really strange, he said, my father really froze for a moment, immediately changed the old look to a new one, he said with a smile: "This is not a moment to change this temper, and then again, Yinle this mixed kid not beat up not a tool ah, all day to cause trouble."
"Well, I don't say so much, don't hit the child in the future, go, talking day is noon." Hu Laosi raised his hand up high and touched my head, just like when my grandfather touched me so kindly and amicably.
I looked at Hu Laoshi that twisted appearance, almost laughed out loud, long and thin and short, although my height is not too high, but Hu Laoshi touch my head or slightly upside down feet.
Grandpa said politely next to him, "Don't go back, eat here, and let Daniu's daughter-in-law make a pot of wine later, so we can drink some and warm up."
"That's right, don't go back, there's no one at home to cook for you." My mother also smiled and said politely.
"No, I'll go back to the ready-made food, put it on the fire and heat it up for a meal, some other time." Hu Laoshi said to excuse words, people have gone to the door of the house lifted the curtain, suddenly turned back and said with a smile: "Let Yinle send me, I also happen to have a few words to say to him."
I was that depressed ah, you Hu Laoshi and I can have what to whisper? Do you still need me to send you out to talk alone?
Grandpa nodded his head and said, "Yinle, go see your Grandpa Hu off."
"Oh." I could only nod my head and follow Hu Laoshi out, with a vague feeling in my heart.
Hu Laoshi's words made it so that my grandfather, my father, and my mother couldn't send me out, but could only send me to the door of the house.
I followed Hu Laoshi out of the courtyard door, walked east for about twenty meters, past the door of the neighbor Han Dana's house, Hu Laoshi finally stopped, looked around for a while, and only then said in a low voice: "Yinle, listen to Grandpa's words, persuade your buddies, don't make trouble with Grandma's temple anymore, the old ladies don't make a fuss about this matter, you guys also just call it quits, okay? I'm sorry, but I don't know what to say."
"Why?" I casually asked, but also feel that something is wrong, frowned and said: "You have something to say in the open, do not make a nervous, I am not afraid."
"Hey, why are you still so stubborn?" Hu Lao Si shook his head in dissatisfaction and said patiently, "You have seen a lot of evil things in the past two days, right? By all accounts, you should understand that those dirty things are not something that mortals can mess with, they all have demonic spells."
I was silent, although the heart is still dissatisfied, face also do not want to admit fear, but after all, people Hu Laoshi said is the truth, and still seems to be good intentions.
Hu Lao Si see me silent down, sighed and said: "In fact, there would not have been anything, originally you are wrong in the first place, why do you have to steal the meat in the temple of others? After stealing the apology, even if it is not, but also refused to admit fault, what is this ah? This is not, the matter is getting bigger and bigger, alas."
"Do not apologize is me and Chen Jin two people, next to others what happened? Grandma." I cursed with dissatisfaction.
Hu Lao Si immediately waved his hand nervously and said: "Aiya scolding not scolding not, you this kid how so do not understand the child ah, you and Chen Jin do not apologize is the fault of the two of you, according to that also do not provoke that a few children, but last night what to do to the end of the two of you and the other people to get into trouble? When the temple is in a hurry, what does it care who is right or wrong? Still not put you a piece of clean up ah."
"Hey, that's right, how can you blame us?" I was in a temper, after all was said and done, it wasn't our fault, ah no, except for Chen Jin and I, it wasn't my buddies' fault.
I just finished this sentence, the alley suddenly blew a gust of wind, harsh whistling up, rolled up the courtyard wall and trees face, as well as the snow on the ground scattered fluttering, covering the eyes can not be seen, an icy cold coolness instantly surrounded me, a numb feeling from the back of the spine spread all over the body.
I was this sudden gust of wind got at a loss, surprised, Hu Lao Si is very calm from the pocket out of a piece of paper, muttering words, right hand index finger middle finger clip, in front of our face a quick wave, poof sound of the paper on the runes, up a flame, runes in a short while to burn into ashes.
Strangely enough, after the fire is extinguished, the wind suddenly stopped, the alley and returned to the calm just now, only the distant fields and the small north wind over the room faint whirring sound is still in the streets and alleys wandering.
Hu Lao Si looked at the jaw-dropping me, smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, it's only just heard your words angry, scare you, there I am, this face still have to give."
"Huh?" I let Hu Laoshi show that hand and just said the words to be confused, couldn't help but say, "Then this thing we don't make a mess, the things in the temple it is willing to not make a mess?"
"Of course, this matter you can let your partners rest assured, I'll talk to the things in the temple, to ensure that there is no problem, in the future you guys do not interfere with river water." Hu Laoshi said with conviction.
Look at his look of confidence, I hesitated, this is not a matter of face or not, really if it goes on, the loss is definitely us, just like Hu Lao Si said, the temple things will be demonic, we are just mortals, how to fight with it? But a few of my buddies have already someone suffered a loss, injured, something happened at home, my heart is also harboring a fire, what to do?
I wrinkled my brow and thought again, Hu Laoshi, what does he do? The magician ah, to put it nicely that is specialized in exorcising ghosts and evil spirits, subduing demons and removing devils fairy, why do you have to talk to the demon, but also to be a peacemaker? He must be afraid of the things in the temple, well, it must be so. Then think about it again, how come the things in the temple would listen to him Hu Laoshi? Or maybe the thing in the temple is not willing to make a big deal out of it, and is also a little …… afraid of us, so it let Hu Laoshi come to talk to us.
Then, since the temple thing is afraid of us, then why should I be afraid of it?
Of course, think about it, and hide in the dark and will also be demonic things against, I still have no bottom, to put it bluntly, is a little afraid.
Thinking of this, I said: "so, things have made a big deal, Liu Binniang this day let those old ladies scared sick, and much heavier than before, it looks like they can't go through, I'll sell your old face, if Liu Binniang is fine, I will not make a fuss, if Liu Binniang is in trouble, hmmm, we are not finished. "
"Oh, this you can rest assured, Liu Bin Niang absolutely will not have anything." As soon as Hu Laosi heard this, he immediately smiled and promised.
I began to doubt Hu Laoshi's words are true or false, grandmother's what matter you dare to make a promise, why are you so powerful? Not to mention the things in the grandmother's temple scourge of Liu Binniang, alone Liu Binn family already have the evil, you Hu Laoshi is not a cure for people, once gray was driven out of it? Now for the dirty things as a lobbyist, but is a big bag, pretend what big tail eagle it?
Could …… Hu Laoshi be able to take out the evil things of Liu Bin's family by cooperating with the things in the grandmother's temple? I asked suspiciously, "I said Hu Da Xian, how do you dare to guarantee that Liu Bin's mother is fine ah? Let me tell you something, I saw those dirty things, what can you do to them?"
Probably because I have some contempt and disdain for the eyes let Hu Lao Si feel very unhappy it, Hu Lao Si face gray a lot. Now I think about it also feel a little excessive, hit people do not hit the face, scolding people do not reveal the shortcomings, I asked that is not in the bottom of the heart to reveal the scars of others? Too let people lose face.
But Hu Laoshi after all, the old man is old, Da Xian Well, naturally will not be and I'm this young boy in general, and he also have to weigh, I Zhao Yinle is what kind of person, my uncle is what kind of person.
Nonsense said more and, said Hu Laoshi awkwardly smiled a few times, which only pressed the voice whispered: "I told you you can not say out ah, Liu Bin home that cat although the scourge of his mother, but also protect it, will not let her die."
"Huh?" I immediately head two circles, what the fuck is this reasoning ah? "What you're saying is not bullshit, is that dirty thing a scourge or a protector?"
"This you don't understand, Liu Bin family thing is a long story, I can't have time to nag you these, in short, you can rest assured." Hu Laoshi hehehe smiled and patted my shoulder, said: "Today with your words, my heart is down to earth, okay, I'm leaving, hurry back to cook it, the afternoon to go to your gang of young people's homes around one by one, alas."
I stared stupidly at the back of Hu Laoshi, the brain seems to be filled with a head of paste, not clear and unclear.
