Read the scriptures, not a liar

an hour ago.

Kong Qing found an affordable hotel near the station to stay.He bought the train at four o'clock in the morning in the evening, and he was going to take a rest and leave.After settling himself down, he and Zuo Huan sent a text message to report their situation, but they didn't expect the other party to talk a lot.

Just as he was sitting cross-legged on the bed and operating his mobile phone, there was a knock on the thin door.

Kong Qing raised his eyebrows, and glanced at the crack of the door in confusion.

The price of this hostel is cheap, and the decoration is naturally very cheap, so the sound insulation effect of the door panels and walls is very poor.Coupled with Kong Qing's sharp eyes and ears, he could clearly hear the footsteps of other passengers walking back and forth in the corridor outside.

The problem now is that it is almost ten o'clock in the evening, and Kong Qing didn't hear any footsteps passing by his door. Who is knocking on the door?

The dim light of the corridor came out from under the door. If someone stood there, there would obviously be two shadows, but there were none now.

Kong Qing sat still.

Tuk Tuk Tuk…

The knock on the door sounded again, but the crack in the door was still wide open.

Kong Qing got out of bed and opened the door.

There was no one in the hallway.

"Squeak..." A small voice came out weakly.

Kong Qing lowered his head and found a huge gray fur mouse squatting at his feet holding a dirty cloth bag.In addition to its unusual size, the two tufts of whiskers on the side of its nose are extremely long, which looks a little funny.At this time, its eyes were wide open, and there seemed to be water in them, as if seeing Kong Qing was particularly excited.

Kong Qing's heart did not fluctuate, and he even stepped on it.

"Huh? Wait, wait!" The mouse screamed and leaned against the wall, with hurt emotions showing on its thin face. "Aren't you humans popular with cute pets now? Why are you doing this to me!"

Kong Qing didn't even think about stepping on it, just teasing it.I don't know where the little monster dared to look for him.

"I'm sorry, I've been in the temple for 15 years. It doesn't matter to me what's popular. Besides..." Kong Qing looked at the mouse on the ground and touched his chin. "I don't think you have anything to do with being cute..."

The mouse showed a very hurt expression on his face. "I...I am the one you lost for many years..."

Kong Qing stared at him, as if to say, do you think we are related by blood?

The mouse continued speaking as if discouraged. "Grandpa's grandma's second uncle's aunt's Baojiaxian..."

"what?"

"Uh...that's over, now I'm yours." The mouse grabbed the cloth bag with both hands, and glanced shyly at Kong Qing.

"..."

Kong Qing looked at it carefully again.

"You don't come sooner or later, why come to me now?"

"It's been 15 years since we were separated! I figured out where you are every day, but there was no result. It wasn't until a few days ago that I figured out where you were, so I hurried over and found you now. said the mouse.

After hearing what the mouse said, Kong Qing believed that the other party was really an old friend of his family.He turned sideways and let the mouse into the room to elaborate.

After entering the room, Kong Qing asked the mouse to stand on the tea table and poured him a glass of water.

The mouse took a sip from the cup and stroked its beard.Act like an old gentleman.

Seeing that it had rested enough, Kong Qing asked.

"You...so lived at my house?"

"Yes." The mouse said with emotion.

"Then what happened to my family back then? Why was I sent away?" Kong Qing asked.

"Hmm..." the mouse rolled its black eyes around and whispered. "Sorry, I was out traveling when it happened and when I got home everyone disappeared, I don't know what happened."

"Where are the others?" Kong Qing asked.

"...Except for you who can't be traced, the others..." The mouse sighed before finishing his sentence. "Not alive."

Although this mouse may not be credible, Kong Qing was still depressed when he heard the news that his family members had died.

Seeing Kong Qing's silence for a long time, the mouse moved a few steps and patted Kong Qing's right hand on the coffee table.

"Don't be too sad, I will take good care of you in the future! I am very good."

Kong Qing was slapped by the little paw, and immediately woke up.He withdrew his hand and looked at the big mouse in front of him with complicated eyes.

"I'm not going to let a mouse take care of..."

"Hey, don't underestimate me!" Seeing that Kong Qing didn't quite believe him, the mouse became anxious immediately.

"Can you cook for me or something?" Kong Qing shook his head amusedly.

"Hey, those are small things, but I can help you make a lot of money!" The mouse said with his hands on his hips, full of air. "I have studied divination for many years, and it is extremely accurate! Mysterious calculations have always had legends about me! They even made up a poem for me!

"What poem?" Kong Qing asked curiously.

"The stems and branches determine the beginning of the year, the sun and the moon control the universe, the five mountains search for the energy channels, and the four seas look for the dragon's trace!" The mouse shook his head and read. "Listen, this poem highlights my housekeeping skills! I'm the best at anticipating opportunities and watching the wind and water!"

"So powerful...why didn't you help my family avoid disaster?" Kong Qing asked suddenly.

"..." The mouse was dumbfounded.

"Forget it." Kong Qing waved his hand sadly. "I read in the book that fortune-telling is hard to tell, and God's will cannot be violated. Maybe my family is destined to have that disaster, and it's meaningless to blame irrelevant people."

The mouse rubbed its hands together, hesitated a few times before finding something to say.

"I have a problem of getting nervous... When encountering big things, my mind gets confused, I can't figure it out..."

Kong Qing nodded and didn't say anything else.

Seeing that the atmosphere was so tense, the mouse anxiously scratched its ears and cheeks.Fortunately, I looked around and saw the cloth bag I brought, so I quickly picked it up, untied it and showed it to Kong Qing.

"This is brought out from your house. It can be regarded as a souvenir."

Kong Qing looked up and found that it was a small wooden sign wrapped with a red string.

"what is this?"

The mouse showed Kong Qing the words on the wooden sign.

Kong Qing was written in ink on it, which looked ordinary.

"This is the longevity card of your Kong family. Everyone is born with a piece of blood." The mouse put the longevity card in front of Kong Qing. "This thing will break the rope before the owner encounters a catastrophe, which can be regarded as an early warning. If the owner dies, it will be burned. When I returned home after traveling, I only found your piece..."

Only then did Kong Qing somewhat believe that the mouse belonged to his family.He took the wooden sign, stroked the handwritten characters on it, and said thank you.

"You're welcome, the two of us will depend on each other for life from now on!" The mouse stroked his beard with emotion.

Kong Qing looked at it for a while before putting the wooden plaque back into his cloth bag.

He looked at the abrupt guest again.

"Do you have a name?"

It’s only now that I remember to ask me what my name is, so I didn’t even intend to associate with me before!The mouse groaned inwardly.

"Our rat-like Baojiaxians are all surnamed Hui! I was born to be very smart, and I can often see the first opportunity, so I gave me a single name and a Chinese character!"
