Chapter 42

Old man Li heaved a long sigh of relief when he heard Duqin master's sound. He looked at his son's eyes that had regained focus, and while untying his son with red eyes, he said, "Son, Duqin master has started to play the piano. We have Two quarters of an hour to eat and rest, time is limited, hurry up."

Just after the tie was loosened, there was a knock on the door, and Old Man Li said wearily, "Who is coming at this time?"

Li Xiao's face was pale, his eyes were blue, his ears were red, his lips were purple, his body was cold, and he shivered from time to time, but when he faced the old man Li, he forced a smile and said optimistically, "Father, I'm fine. It's time to wash up, so go and open the door to see who is coming, it should be your old neighbor who came to see you."

Li Xiao knew that the person who came here was definitely not looking for him, his connections were not in Jishui County, but in Youshan County and Haikou County, a neighboring county of Jishui County.

Because when he was eleven or twelve years old, he left home with his master to study art in Youshan County, and later worked in Haikou County for two years. It was only in the last two months that he was transferred to Jishui County. It is strictly forbidden to visit him at home, so no acquaintances of his will come to visit him at home at this time.

Since the news of their family spread, few people from the family have come to visit. Li Xiao knew that his father was very tired taking care of him. He only had two quarters of an hour of rest time, so he wanted his father to chat with his friends and live a comfortable life. Some.

Old man Li knew his son's character, and he didn't want to let himself see him in a mess, so he wiped his eyes and left his son's bedroom.

Li Xiao looked at his father's back and murmured to himself: "I must persevere. If I fall down, it will be my father's turn next. Because my fault has already killed Xiuniang, I can't kill her again." Father. I must hold on! Hold on!"

Old man Li stood at the door and listened to his son talking to himself, his eyes became even redder.

In fact, he wanted to tell his son that his father was not afraid, and that his father would rather be the one suffering now than him.But he was also afraid that after saying this, his son would feel even more uncomfortable, and he was also afraid that his son would lose the will to survive.

There is hope in life. Old man Li knows that the pain his son is suffering now may make his life worse than death, but old man Li still has a glimmer of hope, hoping that he can meet strange people and save his son.

"Like Master Duqin, he is such a strange person! His piano sound can temporarily suppress that sneaky creature. Since there is a Duqin master, there must be other even more powerful strangemen and strangers who can eliminate this sneaky creature. Save my son!" Old man Li has always believed in this, persisted, and looked forward to the day when a miracle would appear.

The old man Li walked to the gate, did not open the door directly, and asked loudly through the gate: "Who is it?"

"I, Old Man Cheng."

"So it's Brother Cheng! I'll open the door for you right now."

As the door of old man Li's house opened slowly amidst the "squeaks and creaks" and noises, old man Cheng complained: "Old man Li, your door has not been cleaned for a long time, and it has started to squeak... "

Before he finished speaking, he looked at the old man Li standing at the door who was clearly ten years younger than him, but looked ten years older than him.

The other party's hair was completely white, his face was tired, wrinkled, and his clothes were sloppy. It seemed that he hadn't changed and washed for a long time.

It's been a long time since I saw you!But half a month?Sneaky stuff is really tormenting!Look, what kind of torture has been done to a good old man Li?
Alas... sin!
Because of Old Man Cheng's expression, Old Man Li realized that he had to take care of his son in full clothes because no one came to visit at home, his image...

But it's already like this, old man Li can only bite the bullet and let the door open, invite old man Cheng to come in, pretending to be nonchalant, and asked with a forced smile: "Brother Cheng?"

This matter is really not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences. It is not a thing to stand at the gate of Li's house for a long time to talk. Old man Cheng nodded and said: "There is something, let's go in and talk about it."

Old man Li didn't expect that old man Cheng would really dare to enter the door of their house. After old man Cheng entered, he closed the door and led old man Cheng to sit down in the living room.

Brother Cheng is looking for him?It's not that Brother Cheng doesn't know about the situation in his house. What can happen if he comes to his house at this time?Unless, what he asked for has a clue!

Thinking of this, Old Man Cheng had just sat down, and Old Man Li asked excitedly, "What's the matter with Brother Cheng? But is there any clue about that matter?"

Old man Cheng knew that the other party had already guessed it, and he also knew that time was limited. Master Du only stroked the piano for a quarter of an hour a day. I have come here.

"Brother Li, please ask me to help you watch out for a strange person who can catch ghosts and eliminate spirits. He has appeared!"

"What? Really?" Hearing Old Man Cheng's words, Old Man Li shouted excitedly.

Li Xiao, who was washing up half a yard away, heard it. Fearing that something might happen to his father, he hurried out of the wash and rushed to the door of the living room. Just as he was about to go in, he heard the person inside say: "This man is a Taoist priest. Jishui Temple. Jishui Temple, you know? It started to be haunted half a year ago. Anyone who stayed overnight in the Taoist temple would suffer a serious illness. But he was able to live in Jishui Temple for two days without any accident. "

"Also, you know that the Qi Mansion put up a list to catch ghosts, which made a lot of noise a while ago? That list was revealed by him! It is said that he entered the Qi Mansion that night to get rid of the ghosts in the Qi Mansion."

"Although it's just his family's words, it's true that no more ghosts were reported in Qi Mansion later. It's also true that he was riding in Qi Mansion's carriage when he came to Jishui Temple. The servants of Qi Mansion often came and went in and out these two days. It is true that Jishui Temple respects him quite a bit.”

"I think this Taoist priest must have some real skills, otherwise the Qi government would not treat a person with such courtesy. However, these are all indirect evidence, and there is no real evidence, so I am not completely sure. As for whether to invite him Catch ghosts, it depends on Brother Li himself!"

Old man Cheng said everything, without any concealment or exaggeration, not even a suggestion, and left the decision-making power to Old Man Li. As for Old Man Li's final choice, it has nothing to do with him.

"This matter is such a matter, Brother Li, I have completed what you asked me to do. Whether it is useful or not, I have done my best. This matter is completed, as long as you remember my kindness, if this If nothing happens, don't blame me. I still have something to do at home, so I won't bother you. Don't send it away, you should think about it carefully, and I will close the door for you when I leave. "

In the end, old man Cheng made this point directly, because he was afraid that he would do something bad with good intentions, and in the end he would not be kind, but would arouse resentment instead.
