Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 628: Tofu Monster Talk
As the donkey cart approached the village, the screams of the dogs became clearer and clearer.
After all, the dog in the village screamed hysterically, as Master Chen said, and there was a slight panic in the scream, as if something big was going to happen.
I couldn't help but frown and ask Grandpa Chen when did he wake up? After all, he has been selling tofu for so many years, it is impossible to discover it until now. Master Chen thought about it and said slowly: “I can't remember exactly when, but it must have only started like this last year. ”
Looks like something has been in the village for two years, or some major feng shui change has been made in the village, otherwise the puppy won't scream so cheerfully. Dogs are psychic animals, and they scream when they feel the presence of spirits, so many people in rural areas have puppies, not just to prevent thieves, but also to prevent spirits from entering their homes.
I can't imagine what it is that scares so many puppies at the same time, but it must be a big guy! My instincts told me that this matter was not solved by the previous businesses, so I called Li Mazi to send me the Holy Mother's Staff and the Yin Sun Umbrella.
Master Chen saw me so cautious and his face grew heavy. He asked me if I felt anything.
“The dog screamed really mean. ”
I frowned and said a word, then stood up from the donkey cart to measure Xiao Liu Village, this is precisely the moment of dusk, the alternation of yin and yang all day; so if there is something dirty in the village, there must be traces of spider silk in the air, even if it is better hidden, I can feel the abnormality through the airflow.
But until the donkey cart came to the entrance of the village, I didn't see anything, even felt that the village was more peaceful than elsewhere, and came here with an unknown sense of authenticity.
It may be to prevent external trucks from damaging roads. The entrance of Xiao Liu Village is stacked with two large stone piers, and only small vehicles are allowed to pass through the middle gap. Master Chen worried that the donkey truck was stuck and got out early. I followed him down and ran to the back to help him push up.
After waiting for the stone pier, I just wanted to get in the car, but I found a lot of people around me, looking at us pointing points, but most people had no malice on their faces, just a little worried. At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the crowd. He passed a cigarette to Master Chen before coming to the donkey car, and then said bitterly: “Brother Chen, the dog in the village keeps screaming, I think you're still...”
“Old Liu, I'm not here to sell tofu, I'm here to help. ”
This man made it clear that he was going to kick us out, but Master Chen was not angry. After smoking, he said seriously.
After listening, Liu glanced at me and the yellow cloth bag on my back. There was a slight panic in his eyes and he asked unnaturally: "Dude, what do you mean? ”
“Master Chen thought there was something wrong with his home, so he came to me for help, but I went to his house to examine it carefully, and there was nothing wrong with it. So I guess there's something wrong in the village, so come check it out, and if you don't believe me, I can leave.” I said faintly.
The old Liu looked at me rudely, and I didn't have the courtesy.
After listening to Liu's face change, he took a serious look at me and Master Chen. Then he turned his head and shouted at the crowd behind him: “Don't surround yourselves. Go home and eat! ”
He said that the people were really scattered, and it seemed that he had great prestige in the village. When the crowd was all gone, he reached out to me with a bitter smile and offered a good gesture: “Hello, my name is Liu Dali, I am the village chief. ”
Then he apologized and told us the truth. Turns out he also knew that the problem was not with Master Chen, because even if Master Chen did not sell tofu in the village, only people in the village ate tofu, the dog would scream, but the movement was not that big.
Liu Dali, as the chief of the village, definitely had to consider the psychological problems of the villagers, so he could only push the blame hard on Master Chen's head. He had recently secretly searched for some Mr. Fengshui, but those people came either to the Dragonfly Phoenix dance, and the results didn't work at all; they either observed him in the village and his face turned big and he slapped his ass; or they were ready to take over, but asked Liu Dali to pay a considerable amount of money.
And Liu Dali herself is hiding from the villagers, and he can't call everyone to raise money, and in the end, it's gone...
Speaking of which, he sighed and pulled my arm and said: "This little master, if you hadn't come, I would have banned everyone from eating tofu in the future! Please help the townspeople. ”
“Humph!” I haven't spoken yet, Master Chen snorted coldly, turning the donkey car around and leaving.
Looks like he was upset about Liu Dali making himself a scapegoat. The two of us stopped him quickly. I didn't expect the old man to be stubborn enough to have to leave. I couldn't help but say to him: "Master Chen, since this mess has to do with tofu, I will definitely use your tofu tonight, I think you should stay...”
“The old man left the tofu behind. Zhang Daxian, show it to the village. Don't let that thing harm people again. ”
After speaking, Master Chen glanced at Liu Dali again, and he didn't even want to leave the donkey car. I stalled. I looked at Liu Dali with some embarrassment, and he laughed helplessly. Saying that this Chen Tofu was good anywhere was just too stubborn.
After this little song, the sky has completely darkened down. Liu Dali and I drove the donkey car to the woodstock behind his house. He warmly invited me home for dinner. Anyway, I have to wait for Li Mazi to come and deliver something, so I promised to come down.
The Liu Dali family also had a dog. As soon as I arrived in the hospital, I saw it with four claws lying on the ground. The whole body curled together. Only my head was left to mourn constantly, but I was indifferent to the stranger who broke into the yard.
I frowned and wanted to see what direction it was looking in to determine where the dirty thing was. Unexpectedly, just a little closer to it, the puppy jumped on it. Luckily, his dog chain was strong enough, otherwise I would have been hit!
The puppy saw me stop, left me alone, kept lying on the ground, and changed direction. I have tried several times in a row to find that it has a different posture after each landing, and it seems that my approach has failed.
I thought I'd have to wait for the evening to say, since that thing is so interested in tofu, I don't believe it won't come out.
Liu Dali's family had a lovely little girl, about four or five years old, who said she was her own granddaughter, currently studying kindergarten in the village. After eating, the little girl sat beside her and wrote her homework. When she encountered a problem, she asked Liu Dali to teach her, and I preferred the child, so I took the initiative to play with her.
After the little girl's homework was finished, Harry's wife took her back to the inner room to sleep. I looked up at the table below and found that it was 8: 00 p.m., which reminded me that Li Mazi had not arrived yet, so I quickly pulled out his phone and called him, but I couldn't get through.
I had to wrinkle my eyebrows and take out the eyebrow prick from my bag and run outside. Liu Dali hurried to catch up and ask me what was wrong?
“Uncle Liu, you wait in the house, I'll pick up a friend. ”
Speaking of which I didn't go back to the entrance of the village, I realized that the situation could be worse than I thought. Because these dogs have been screaming for over two hours, they should be out of strength by now, what makes them scream so desperately?
I only remembered to call Ruxue after I ran to the village entrance, but she told me that Asako had left immediately after receiving my call. In that case, Li Asako had left the house for three hours, but the journey was up to one hour!
“Li Mazi, are you in the village? Li Mazi. ”
I stunned, then screamed with my voice, but my voice seemed so weak under the scream of a dog. Besides, Li Mazi was definitely not in the village, or he would definitely contact me. I think he must have accidentally taken the path of that thing. The ordinary man may be fine if he enters the village, but with the Holy Mother's Cane and the Yin Sun Umbrella, he will automatically be seen as the enemy by the filthy things.
When I thought of this, I tapped my thigh with some frustration, and there was a way in my head, I could say a spell to wake the Virgin Wand, and when the Virgin Wand emitted a golden light, I knew where Lee Ma Zi was.
It takes a lot of magic to cast a spell in the open air, but this is the only way to save Li Mazi, so I breathe a deep breath and close my eyes to prepare the spell. But that's when Liu Dali called me. We exchanged calls at dinner earlier, so I had his number.
“Uncle Liu, what's wrong?” I thought he was asking where I was going, saying he was at the entrance of the village, and his eyes kept looking around.
I didn't expect Liu Dali to be on the other end of the phone, but his voice shook and said: "Master, come back! Home... Something's wrong at home...”
