Chapter 24 The old man has been hiding for three days
The reason is similar to that of the monk Sanwu, and it is the same again. It depends on your body and powerlessness and your steps are weak, and it is mostly due to the great loss of Yuanyang, which is not suitable for practicing Taoism.
Hu You was very puzzled. Could it be seen from his face that this world is a virgin? This is really an unpredictable knowledge.
Although the Zuo Captain agreed to Hu You and brought him to Yingtianjian, he still had important things to do and could not set off immediately. Then he asked Hu You's address and made an appointment to find him ten days later.
Nie Xiaoqian seemed to be afraid that Monk Sanwu and Ye Luozhi would attack him, so after entering the city, she slipped away quietly.
Luo Zifu walked along the way, and was full of Hu You's care. He thanked him all the time, completely attracting Hu You as his confidant, and even exchanged addresses.
However, after such a thrilling thing, he had no intention of taking Hu You to Yihongyuan to have a good exchange of feelings, and ran back home...
Ning Caichen took Hu You home. As for whether Nie Xiaoqian followed him, no one knew...
The Daxishan incident has come to an end...
Gu Yuebai, who left his bones buried in the west mountain and entered the belly of a wild beast, was considered unlucky to die...
…………………………………………………………
The next day, just as it was dawn, Ning Caichen took Hu You to Gu Yuebai's house first to explain the matter.
But after changing his statement, he just said that he was harmed by wild beasts, the Gu Yuebai family naturally cried and robbed the earth, and was heartbroken.
As for whether the officials would go to Daxishan to search for corpses, the two of them didn't know.
When he came out, Ning Caichen was also very sad. He and Gu Yuebai had been in contact for many years and had a very good relationship. Unexpectedly, from then on, the end of Yin and Yang will never be able to meet again.
Then, the two came to Ning Caichen's husband's house...
Ning Caichen's teacher was unexpected by Hu You. He thought he was a noble and elegant man who ran a private school, but he didn't expect that he lived in the suburbs, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and lived in a thatched cottage.
??? Ning Caichen is also a well-off family, why does Mr. live here? I can’t figure it out! I simply don’t want to!
Ning Caichen stood at the door, gently buckled the door, and called out:
"Sir, are you at home?"
After knocking for a long time, no one responded to it.
Ning Caichen turned his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Hu, it seems that my teacher has gone out and is not at home!"
"What should we do? Should we go back first? Or wait here?"
"It's okay! Brother Ning, let's wait here again!"
In fact, Hu You doesn't want to waste a minute now. This Rakshasa ghost bone is like a thorn in his throat. It may take his life at any time. How can he have time to waste it?
He must make use of the resources in his hands and do everything possible to solve this hidden danger.
Maybe... Ning Caichen's teacher may have a solution.
It was just morning, and the sun was shining but not shining. Occasionally, the breeze blew by, which was very comfortable.
There is a stone carved chess board at the entrance of the hut, and there are chess and chess next to it, and two large stones, which are smooth and shiny on it. It can be seen that people often play chess here.
The two of them were bored and Ning Caichen was intrigued, so he pulled Hu You over and started playing chess.
Ning Caichen is indeed smart, and he is involved in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Although Hu You had this kind of bad way in his previous life, he could only be considered a barely introduction and had never spent any effort to study it.
As soon as they fought, they were killed by Ning Caichen within a moment and had to admit defeat.
After three consecutive games, Hu You was defeated by Ning Caichen in every game, which also made Hu You develop a competitive spirit and began to use his strong logical deduction ability to become serious.
Ning Caichen felt the pressure increased greatly when he was serious, but he still relied on his rich experience and spent some more effort to win Hu You in three consecutive draws.
However, in the seventh set, he suddenly felt that Hu You's chess power had increased significantly, completely different from the first set. The two of them fought in this set. It took an hour for Ning Caichen to barely take Hu You.
In the eighth stage, Ning Caichen took a step and lost.
Ning Caichen was dissatisfied, and he thought about it in the ninth round and worked every step. He took more than an hour, but in the end, he still lost...
In the tenth set, Ning Caichen lost, and in the eleventh set, Ning Caichen lost...
From the eighth set, Ning Caichen could no longer win Hu You.
After not remembering how many games he won, Ning Caichen finally dropped the flag dejectedly and said dejectedly:
"Brother Hu, if I hadn't won you for a few games at the beginning, I would have thought you were holding back!"
"You are simply a genius, and every game of chess has made great progress. Now, I can never beat you anymore!"
After saying that, he rubbed his numb legs, stood up and looked at the sky.
It was already evening when they found that the sunset was reflected in the sky. Before they knew it, the two of them had been playing chess in this suburb without knowing it.
Only then did they realize that the sound of gurgling in their stomachs was so hungry that Ning Caichen's husband still did not come back, so the two of them returned home to have dinner and planned to come again tomorrow...
This delay lasted for three days... The two of them visited every day in these three days, but the gentleman was not here every day.
Just when Hu You was about to give up, he felt that he might have gone out of a long way and could not come back in a short time.
Finally, on the fourth day, when the two were bored playing chess, they met Ning Caichen's teacher, Qu Cunzheng...
Qu Cun is a little old man, he is about sixty years old and is in his age;
However, his clothes are not as good as those of a gentleman who is well-read in poetry and books; he is wearing coarse linen clothes, with trouser legs rolled up, straw sandals, and even his toes are stained with mud.
Carrying a hoe on your shoulders is like an old farmer who has just returned from farming, with no special features.
And if we have to find something different, it is his eyes.
It's very bright, like a star, very deep.
When Ning Caichen saw this, he quickly dropped the flag, ran to him, bowed to the bottom and said to the teacher:
"Sir, the student has been here for three days. Where are you old?!"
Qu Cunzheng nodded, but said nothing, but glanced at Hu You, and said helplessly:
"Boy, you have perseverance. I have been hiding for three days, but you are still there!"
"It seems that this is God's will, and you cannot violate it; come in with me!"
As he spoke, the old man ignored Ning Caichen and stuck a hoe covered with mud outside the door, leading the way into the house.
Ning Caichen was confused and thought to himself that what happened to the teacher today? He didn’t treat him with this attitude on weekdays, so why did he ignore him? Could it be because he hasn’t been here for a long time recently?
Hu You conjectured some ideas from the old man's words. It seems that Ning Caichen's teacher is really unfathomable. Since he said he had been hiding for three days, did he have predicted it in advance before we came?
Perhaps, this time, I can really get involved in Ning Caichen's cause and effect and completely solve the Rakshasa ghost bones.
The two of them followed into the house. The thatched cottage was extremely simple, with only three rooms, and the bedroom and guests were also welcomed.
The left is full of books and miscellaneous items, and the right is a fire stove built with earth. It gives people the feeling that it is not only poverty, but also poverty.
At this moment, the old man sat on the ground, with a futon made of thatched futons under his butt, pointing to the two futons left in the house and signaling:
Chapter completed!
