Chapter 177

"Just try it." Li Quan wanted to see what this nagging old man Lin was up to. Anyway, he was poor and poor, and he wanted money but had no money and no sex.

Old man Lin pointed to the building not far away, and said seriously: "There is a little girl in that building, who has been in poor health. I have been to several hospitals, but they only said that I was physically weak, hung up a few bottles of water and took several medicines, but nothing improved." Li Quan looked disdainful: "Everyone who works overtime is weak, and she is a woman. In those few days of the month, hanging water and taking medicine is useless."

"Hey, young people are just in a hurry. Don't draw conclusions so quickly. There are some things in the world that you have to see for yourself before you can believe them." Old man Lin took out two umbrellas from the house and handed one to Li Quan: "Go , By the way, that little girl is called Xiao Ling, don't miss it."

Li Quan followed old man Lin silently, thinking that he was afraid that I might have missed something, you old man is not planning some bad idea, you want to cheat people?He thought seriously: If Old Man Lin had set up a trap in that building, he would immediately turn around and run. Speaking of running, he had won the [-]-meter race championship at the school sports meeting, and had never been among the top three in long-distance running. Well, this old man will definitely not be able to outrun him, and he can still get a good umbrella, so he won't suffer.Old man Lin obviously didn't know that this seemingly gentle and motivated young man was planning an escape route, and he also had evil thoughts about this umbrella.If he knew, he would definitely sigh again.

Arriving soon, this is an old residential area, most of the people living in the area are locals, old man Lin has opened a Mala Tang shop nearby for so many years, and everyone in the girl's family knows each other, so I didn't say much, just Open the door.Old man Lin pointed to Li Quan and said, "This young man said he was a colleague of the girl. He heard that the girl was ill and hadn't gone to work for a long time, so he came to have a look, but got lost and found my shop."

I heard that it was my daughter's colleague, but seeing that he was a young man, Xiao Ling's mother welcomed Li Quan in with an expression of "I understand, I understand, young people, hehe", pouring water and washing fruits, Li Quan Feel a little uncomfortable all over.There are only Xiao Ling, Li Quan and old man Lin in the back room.Xiao Ling knew old man Lin, at first he thought that Li Quan was a relative of old man Lin, but he didn't care.Who knew that when old man Lin said that Li Quan was his colleague, she felt suspicious, but she was always cautious, so she didn't call out at the time.

While her mother was in the kitchen, Xiao Ling sneered and said, "My colleague? I didn't grow up to be like you, Uncle Lin, you were deceived by him."

Facing Li Quan's murderous eyes, Old Man Lin explained awkwardly: "I wasn't deceived by him, I was the one who brought him here."

"What did you bring him here for?"

Old man Lin looked her up and down: "Girl Xiao, did you go home at two o'clock the other night and heard someone crying in the neighborhood?"

"Yeah, I'm crying very sadly, and my voice is very loud, what's wrong?"

Old man Lin sighed: "The child from the Wu family in front is gone."

"Ah? That child is only a few months old." Xiao Ling called out, "I even hugged him."

Old man Lin nodded: "It's because you hugged him, he likes to play with you, so he was reluctant to go, and stayed by your side for a while."

Xiao Ling was stunned: "Uncle Lin, I can't tell, you are a Taoist priest? So, you came this time to exorcise ghosts for me?"

Old man Lin laughed dryly: "No, he has already left, it's just that you were affected by ghost energy, so your health has not improved for a long time."

Saying that, Xiao Ling's mother brought in fruit, warmly greeted old man Lin and Li Quan to eat, Li Quan took a grape, and ate slowly absent-mindedly, Xiao Ling's mother just thought he was shy, and pulled him to sit down: " Sit down, my family, Xiao Ling, has a very strong temper, and when she was young, she was always a gang of boys. In the past, when boys came to the house, they would cry and complain that they were beaten by her, and no one came to visit her." Xiao Ling's expression was complicated: "Mom, what are you talking about? Get out, I smell the vegetables are burnt."

"Okay, let's talk, talk slowly. Brother Lin, come out too, and let the young people chat alone for a while." Xiao Ling's mother stood up cheerfully.

Hearing that she wanted Old Man Lin to leave, Li Quan immediately couldn't stand or sit. His face suddenly turned red to his ears. Xiao Ling's mother looked at it and confirmed her thoughts.Old man Lin smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I still have something to say to Miss Xiao." Xiao Ling's mother nodded and went out first.

"Girl Xiao, sit down first." Old man Lin took out a plastic bag from his pocket, which contained some stones and grass roots, and quickly placed it in front of Xiao Ling, then took out a leaf and rubbed it on her wrists, After murmuring, he finally pointed to the water glass: "Go!" Li Quan looked at the water glass, the water surface seemed to be shaking slightly, and when he looked carefully, there was nothing left, it must be an illusion just now.

"Cut, pretending to be a ghost." Without Xiao's mother's eager gaze, Li Quan relaxed again.

As Old Man Lin packed his things, he said, "You know nothing, touch this glass of water."

Li Quan stretched out his hand to check, the glass was icy cold, but it was clearly still a glass of lukewarm water, he touched another glass of water, the temperature was still there.

"Girl Xiao, what do you think?"

Xiao Ling moved a little: "Hey, it's really much more comfortable."

Old man Lin looked at Li Quan: "How is it?" Li Quan felt so unbelievable, he didn't know what to say for a while, old man Lin looked at Xiao Ling again: "Girl Xiao, I said before that you are weak in anger, and you can often see Some things that shouldn't be seen, this kind of work that often works overtime until midnight, let's change it."

Xiao Ling sighed: "Our business is like this, who told me to choose architectural design, it doesn't matter which company I jump to."

Seeing that Li Quan was still standing on the side in a daze, old man Lin touched him: "Let's go, don't look at her in a daze, you can't beat her."

Xiao Ling said angrily: "Uncle Lin, what are you talking about!"

"Even if this can cure the disease, I don't know where anyone needs to be treated. Is it possible to go to the hospital entrance and wait to see who can't be cured? Then I go up and ask, 'Hello, do you know a magical folk medical technique?' It can cure your illness and lead you to a new path in life.’ That will get you kicked out.”

Before old man Lin could speak, Xiao Ling looked at him: "This accent is really familiar, have you done XX?"

Li Quan suddenly twitched: "This... Don't bring up the past again."

"This is not a problem. After you learn it, you will be hopeless." Old man Lin looked proud. "Anyway, you don't want to do this job, so you might as well learn this. Just a few days ago, someone from my hometown sent a message asking me to go back to see a doctor. Why don't you follow me?"

Li Quan thought for a while: "Where is your hometown?"

"Lingshui, a small county below Y City." It is a famous scenic spot.

Xiao Ling suddenly said: "I'm going to go too. I've been working overtime for so long, so I just want to take some sick leave to relax."

Before old man Lin could speak, Li Quan hastily said, "Okay, okay, there are so many people."

"How can people really think it's a trip when there are so many people?" Old Lin shook his head: "Okay, Xiao Yatou is also a bit spiritual, let's learn together."

It took an overnight train ride to get to Old Man Lin's hometown. Li Quan carefully read the "Essentials of Expelling Evil and Strengthening the Health" in the car, and looked at it with difficulty.Xiao Ling sat on the side playing with his mobile phone, watched two episodes of the film, turned around and found that Li Quan was still flipping through the ancient book seriously, and also leaned over to read: "Do you understand?" Li Quan adjusted his glasses: "It's okay .”

Xiao Ling said with a smile: "Our school used to have a major in Feng Shui, you really should study that major."

What?Do institutions of higher learning still have this major?Li Quan was shocked, what kind of university is this.Seeing his shocked appearance, Xiao Ling couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so surprised, the direction of the imperial mausoleum of the building, the professor likes to talk about this in class, so I went to listen to it. It's very interesting, hey, what major are you .” Li Quan turned his head silently: “Professional in gossip.”

"what is that?"

"news."

"Very good, where is the Uncrowned King?" Xiao Ling fluttered her long eyelashes.

"Oh, but the name of my school has the word "agriculture"... In the resume, I was extinguished by the HR sister. They always asked me why I went to the Agricultural University to study journalism. Why don't I ask the principal why the Agricultural University There is a journalism department."

"Is this... a difficult problem." Xiao Ling shook his head: "So you devoted yourself to the great XX cause without hesitation?"

Li Quan sighed: "Do you think I want to, but after submitting resumes for so long, there is no result? I have to do something, otherwise everyone will be useless."

Xiao Ling nodded, but couldn't think of anything to persuade, and lowered his head to play with his phone again.

Silent all night.

The train arrived at the station. This is a small station. The station is among the mountains. Within a few steps, you can see a Qingquan River winding out of the mountains and rushing forward.It is indeed a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, worthy of the name of Lingshui.Old man Lin said that he had to take a minibus to go to his hometown. He wanted to check the departure time of the minibus today, and then left.

In front of the beautiful scenery, Xiao Ling kept busy with her mobile phone, either taking pictures of the scenery or taking selfies.He didn't pay attention to his feet, staggered, and instinctively let go of the phone to stabilize his body balance.As a result, the mobile phone fell into the water as a matter of course. Although I hurriedly picked it up, it turned off with a black screen.

Seeing that Xiao Ling's expression had changed, Li Quan hurriedly comforted him: "It's all right, I picked it up in time, and I'll see if I can find a hair dryer to blow it on later. Or see if there is a small shop in the county that can repair it. "

Old man Lin came back, looked at Xiao Ling frowning, turned around and asked, "Li Quan, did you bully her?"

Li Quan shook his head and pointed to the phone that was still dripping: "Her phone fell into the water."

Old man Lin said "Oh": "Well, there seems to be a small shop in front that can be repaired, let's go and have a look."

The three of them walked along the widest road in Lingshui County, and they saw a "specialized in all kinds of mobile phones, with ancestral craftsmanship." Li Quan said to himself: "This also has ancestral craftsmanship." The owner is one of them. Young people, seeing that Xiao Ling put the phone on the counter, and there was a puddle of water on the counter, so he understood.

After taking it to the back, I fiddled with it for a while, and said, "Okay. It's 100 yuan." Xiao Ling picked it up, and it turned on as expected, so he paid the money without hesitation.The minibus that happened to be bound for the village also just came out of the station slowly, and old man Lin greeted the two of them to get on the bus.

There was no one in the car, only the three of them. Li Quan joked, "Mr. Lin, this mobile phone fell into the water and caught wind evil, why can't it be cured?"

Unexpectedly, old man Lin said very seriously: "How to treat things without souls?"

After the mobile phone was turned on, Xiao Ling swept away the slump just now, and said with a smile: "The Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts in Japan's Heian Dynasty is just like pots and pans walking on the main road. Even jade and lutes can become fine, why do you say that mobile phones have no souls?" Woolen cloth?"

"Those are all made-up stories. They're not true. Don't believe them." Old man Lin knew that the two juniors didn't believe him from the bottom of their hearts, so he didn't bother to discuss anything with them, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.Xiao Ling suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, why is the screen blank again?" In her hand, the mobile phone she had just rescued with 100 yuan had a blank screen on it, and Li Quan stretched out her hand: "Bring me to see."

Shut down and restart, and the normal startup interface appears.Xiao Ling was not happy for 5 minutes when the screen went blank again.Xiao Ling was furious: "Liar, you haven't repaired it at all!"

Li Quan was in the same place: "Forget it, such a beautiful scenery, just put down your phone and enjoy it."

"That's the only way to go." Xiao Ling restarted again without giving up, and after 5 minutes, the screen went blank again, and finally put the phone back into the backpack resignedly.

More and more dense green appeared outside the window, and the minibus had already driven deep into the mountains.Not long after, it stopped and the driver called all the passengers to get off.Old man Lin opened his eyes: "Oh, it's here."

This is a typical rural area in southern China. Not far from the small road are stretches of rice fields, where farmers and buffaloes are busy.The three of them walked forward, and a little yellow dog came in front of them. When they saw old man Lin, they wagged their tails. Old man Lin knelt down and stroked the dog's head: "Xiao Huang, do you still remember me?" After licking his hand, he turned and walked forward. Li Quan asked: "How did it go?" Old man Lin pointed to the front: "It came out to lead the way. The village in front is my home."

At this moment, all the strong laborers in the village are working outside, and there is no one in the village, it is empty, Xiao Ling almost thinks that no one lives in this village.In front of a small courtyard, old man Lin stopped and said, "This is my house." He pushed open the firewood door and unlocked the small padlock on the wooden door.There are a few simple pieces of furniture in the room, all covered with a thick layer of dust.Xiao Ling covered his nose: "It smells so bad."

"Just tidy up in a while."

Li Quan walked around and found a well behind the courtyard. He wanted to pump some water for cleaning, but accidentally, the well rope and the bucket fell into it, making a loud noise.Old man Lin heard the sound, and seeing this scene, he couldn't help shaking his head: "Young people in the city..." After tossing for a while, he finally fetched two buckets of water. Ling reached out and took it away.Li Quan turned to look at her: "I thought you were too dirty."

Xiao Ling walked into the bedroom with a rag and said, "I'm not sure about the quality of your work." The two of them had a tacit understanding of the work, Li Quan was in charge of the heights and changing the water, and Xiao Ling was in charge of wiping the things in the house.

Unlike the two people who were relaxed and at ease, Old Lin opened the drawer in his room with a solemn expression, carefully took out a black object, and said to himself: "I didn't expect you to be used this time."
