Chapter 43: The Silly Tiger Is Gone(1/2)
"I just heard Uncle Hu say that the person in the underworld who is similar to the village chief in the human world is not you, Uncle Hu, but someone else. At the same time, he said that people who do not want to be reincarnated will be sent to Youshen Village. If I guessed correctly,
If I'm wrong, Youshen Village is the Weijiazhuang in the underworld, right? And the village chief of Youshen Village is the real Weijiazhuang village chief in the underworld, right?" When Ye Feihua listened to Wei Hu's story, she had already guessed some things about the so-called Youshen Village.
"Director Ye is worthy of being a director. He is really smart. You are right. It is exactly what you said!" Wei Hu did not deny it.
"We want to go to Youshen Village. Can Uncle Hu take us there?" Wei Lai said his request again.
"Oh oh oh..." Suddenly a loud rooster crow sounded.
Wei Hu heard the crowing of the rooster and ignored Wei Lai's request, but continued: "Thank you both for listening to me talk so much today, for being able to tell you the secret of the village guard, and for letting the silly old man know that I won't let you know tonight.
You’re so lonely anymore! It’s almost dawn, you two, go back!”
"Uncle Tiger! We..."
"Xiao Laizi, I already know the purpose of your coming! But I haven't decided whether to help you yet!" Wei Hu rejected Wei Lai's request, but did not make it clear that he would not help.
"Uncle Hu, please be sure..." Wei Lai became anxious.
"Xiao Laizi, no need to say more! Let me think about it!" Wei Hu waved his hand.
"Uncle Tiger..."
Wei Lai did not give up, but was interrupted by Ye Feihua at this time: "Brother! Uncle Hu doesn't help us today, maybe he has his own reasons, give him some time to think about it!"
"Xiaoye! We..."
"Brother! Let's go! Uncle Tiger, we're leaving first! Just rest!"
Wei Hu smiled and nodded.
"Uncle Tiger! Let's come back tomorrow night..."
Wei Hu said nothing, but waved his hand to signal them to go back.
The two then walked away. When they walked to the door, the four old dogs and village beasts were still outside. When they saw the two coming out, they bared their teeth at them, but did not call out and made way for them to go out.
"Why bother? Alas..."
Wei Hu watched the two people leave at the door of the hall, then entered the room and sat on a stool, took out his dry tobacco bag, and started smoking.
The four old dogs, except the gray old dog who had been following Wei Hu into the house, black, white and yellow entered the village again, ran in different directions, and disappeared into the night.
The village in the dark night returned to tranquility again, with the chirping of insects and the chirping of crickets still the same. But Wei Lai's heart could not be at peace.
"What do you think Uncle Hu thinks?" Wei Lai asked.
"Haven't you seen that Uncle Hu already knows our purpose, but he doesn't want us to enter Youshen Village. Maybe there are some secrets in Youshen Village that he doesn't want us to know. He has told us so much about the village guards.
I think he is also thinking about it! If he doesn’t want to, there’s nothing we can do about it. Maybe when he thinks about it clearly, he will take us to Youshen Village!”
"I hope so! I wonder what the secrets of Youshen Village are? If Master Wu is really my father and he is in Youshen Village, why would Uncle Hu prevent us from meeting each other? Shouldn't this be a good thing?"
"It's useless to think too much, things will always be solved! It's already dawn, let's go back and rest first! Come back tomorrow night, maybe Uncle Tiger will agree."
The two of them immediately returned to the Haicheng branch and fell into a deep sleep. It had been a full twenty hours since the Haicheng branch was three feet apart from each other until the two of them returned to the branch, and they were tired!
Although Wei Lai had something on his mind and couldn't sleep for a while, it wasn't long before his upper and lower eyelids started to fight and he fell asleep.
Ye Feihua was originally going to the hospital, but considering that when she left the hospital, her elders had already returned to the hospital, she was not too worried. Moreover, she and Wei Lai had to go to Weijiazhuang to meet Wei Hu in the evening, so she simply decided not to go to the hospital.
We went back to the branch together.
When the two woke up, it was already past seven o'clock that night. So they rushed directly to Weijiazhuang, but when they arrived at Wei Hu's residence in the old adobe house, Wei Hu was nowhere to be found, but the old country dog was there, lying on his back.
I was taking a nap in the yard. When I saw the two people coming, I just raised my head and opened my eyes, and then closed my eyes again to rest.
"Where has Uncle Tiger gone? It's already dark. He hasn't gone home yet, and he didn't bring the old... Village Beast with him. Could it be that he went to help others again, but when we came over, we didn't find anything.
There are weddings and funerals happening at home!" Wei Lai was confused.
Wei Lai was originally going to say "I didn't bring any old-fashioned dogs with me", but suddenly he thought that they were village beasts, so he didn't say anything bad.
Thinking of the village beast, Wei Lai suddenly came to the old country dog, knelt down and stroked his hair.
"Brother Lai! What are you doing?" Ye Feihua saw that Wei Hu was not at home, so she walked around, trying to find some information from clues to deduce Wei Hu's whereabouts. When she saw Wei Lai walking up to the village guardian beast, she
Thought he found some clue.
The village guardian beast opened its eyes and found that it was Wei Lai. He shook his head desperately, as if he disliked Wei Lai very much.
Wei Lai smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm trying to please Senior Village Beast, and I want to find out what he's talking about!"
"Do you still understand dog language?"
"I do not know!"
"and you……"
"By the way! Xiaoye, have you noticed that we didn't disturb any of the village guardian beasts when we entered the village this time?" Wei Lai asked.
"It's probably not that they weren't alarmed. They probably know that we won't harm the villagers and are no longer hostile to us!"
"How do they know that we will not harm the villagers, so they are not hostile to us?" Wei finished speaking and looked at Ye Feihua.
Ye Feihua looked thoughtful.
"Uncle Tiger told me!" the two said at the same time.
"Xiaoye, how do you think Uncle Tiger communicates with these village beasts? Could it be that Uncle Tiger understands dog language?"
"Maybe it's because Uncle Hu has been with them for a long time and they can telepathically communicate with each other!" Ye Feihua guessed.
"I don't think so. There should be some specific communication method. And if Uncle Hu told us, he knew we would come today, but did not wait for us, but disappeared. Or he was hiding.
Either we have an accident!" Wei Lai analyzed the relationship.
"It does make sense according to what you said. If I were to guard the village beast again, if something happened to Uncle Tiger, he shouldn't be in this state. He should be very anxious!"
"Is Uncle Tiger really hiding from us? What should we do now?" Wei Lai did not expect that the second time they came to Weijiazhuang, they would end up like this.
"How about we try to find a breakthrough from the village guardian beast?" Ye Feihua was also helpless.
"Ah? How to find it?"
"How about you try to please him again?" Ye Feihua said half seriously and half jokingly.
"But, as you saw just now, he dislikes me very much! How about, Xiaoye, you give it a try?" Wei Lai showed an imperceptible evil smile.
"Forget it! Let's look for more clues to see where Uncle Tiger has gone!" Ye Feihua must also be afraid of being disliked.
The two searched around and found no useful information.
"How about we go to the entrance of Youshen Village again, maybe they can let us in this time!" Wei Lai suggested.
"I'm afraid without Uncle Tiger's recommendation, it would be in vain to go! It will only be a waste of time!"
"If it's really not possible, we can only force our way in. How can we, the three-footed gods, still be able to enter the village?"
"No! No!"
"Woof woof woof woof! Woof woof woof woof!" At this time, the village beast beside them really couldn't listen anymore.
"It's just you! Are you still a three-foot god?" At the same time, Wei Lai and Ye Feihua also heard the mocking voice of an old woman.
"Who is it?" Wei Lai and Ye Feihua thought someone had come to the yard without their knowledge and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"Woof woof!"
"It's me!" The two looked around, but didn't see anyone appear. However, they found the old gray dog, the village guardian beast, standing up and looking at them as if they were fools.
The two looked at each other, then looked at the old dog, and said in unison: "Is it you who is talking?"
"It's not too stupid!"
To a stranger, it sounds like an old dog barking in a low voice, but to Wei Lai and Ye Feihua, what they hear is the voice of an old woman who must be seventy or eighty years old. This is the voice of Shou Cun
The gray old dog was communicating telepathically with the two of them.
The two of them were really depressed this time, and they were actually laughed at by a dog.
"Are you a mother...a woman?" Wei Lai stammered.
"If you keep talking without thinking, I'll be rude to you, old lady!" The village beast roared in a low voice at Wei Lai, seemingly very angry.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! This junior was wrong!" Wei Lai quickly apologized humbly.
"I'm sorry! Brother Lai has almost offended you with his outspoken words!" Ye Feihua also opened her mouth to help Wei Lai.
"What are you old for? Am I very old?"
"I'm sorry, I'm not very good at talking! What's your name?" Ye Feihua didn't expect that she also said the wrong thing, so she quickly apologized. But she muttered in her heart: She must be seventy or eighty years old from the sound of her voice.
Aren't you old? If I don't call you old, why should I call you little sister?
"The old woman's name is Wei Bei. You can just call me Sister Bei!"
"Sister Bei?" they both exclaimed.
I have seen thick-skinned people, but I have never seen anyone so thick-skinned. Who has ever heard of an old lady in her 70s or 80s who calls herself an old lady and lets young men in their twenties and thirties call her eldest sister? I am really not ashamed of it.
"What? You don't want to?" Wei Bei said slightly angrily.
"I am willing! It's just that you are old, not your age..." Wei Lai suppressed a smile.
