Chapter 211 City God (4)
At dawn, we knocked on the door of Mr. Huang’s house.
When I came this time, I was not as confused and lacking in confidence as I was yesterday! I knocked twice but no one opened the door immediately. Dasha immediately knocked on the door like a drum and shouted with great energy: "Open the door! Hurry up!"
"Come on, come on, be careful of breaking the door!" An old man yawned and opened the door a crack, "It's so early in the morning, you guys are here."
When we saw that the person who opened the door was the scornful old housekeeper yesterday, and that the old guy only opened the door a crack today and blocked it himself, it seemed that he had no intention of letting us in, so we became very angry.
Before he could finish speaking, Dasha stared and shouted angrily: "Get out of the way and call your master out quickly!"
Perhaps the old housekeeper saw that we came this time, not empty-handed like yesterday, but carrying guns and knives this time, and his tone was not as polite as yesterday, so he did not dare to stop him, so he said with a smile: "Several of you
Military Master, please invite some of the military masters here. Have a sip of tea first, and I will go and invite Mr. Huang!"
We sat down in the living room, drank tea very calmly, and waited for Mr. Huang to come out. This time we did not talk about Qihuang’s medical skills, nor about the eminent monks. The first thing we wanted to tell him was that Miss Huang’s illness had nothing to do with the City God.
!
"You guys got up very early. I'm sorry for not being able to welcome you!" Mr. Huang came to the living room under the leadership of the old housekeeper.
"It's not about getting up. I was confused for a while in the Chenghuang Temple and then came here!" Mr. Liu's understatement made Mr. Huang seem to be choked. He stretched his neck and stared at us without blinking.
Said: "You guys, did you really spend the night in the Chenghuang Temple?"
"I didn't get much rest either. I chatted with the City God for half the night." Boss Liu was still calm and deliberately maintained a relaxed and normal tone.
"Ah? Hey, have you also seen this City God?" The more Mr. Liu kept silent about the ancient well, the more Mr. Huang couldn't figure out our details. He couldn't figure out what kind of magical powers we had that could actually do it in that evil temple.
We spent the night there and even said that we met the City God.
But we all saw his doubts and trust from Mr. Huang's face. Before he could speak, the ungrateful butler interrupted again and said: "How can a good living man meet the City God?"
"I'm talking about the housekeeper, do you or Mr. Huang have the final say on the affairs of the Huang family? There are so many things you haven't seen or heard of!" I just can't stand a guy who looks down on others.
, although the traditional virtue is to respect the old and love the young, he still needs to be respected, right?
Being highly respected does not seem to be necessarily related to age. Among those Japanese traitors, there are many elderly ones.
"Old Huang, you go and do your work first, I'm here!" Mr. Huang seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the butler's presumption.
When the old housekeeper went out, he looked back at us, his face full of innocence and helplessness.
"You brave men, have you come so early and haven't had breakfast yet? Why don't you eat before we talk?" Although Mr. Huang didn't believe that we could really meet the City God, he politely invited us to have breakfast with him.
Of course we are not polite, it is not that we care about a breakfast, but we use this confidence to tell him that we are confident in curing Qian Yuan's disease, so you can rest assured - if we cannot gain his trust, we will poach him.
It’s really not easy for him to agree to the rockery at home!
We explained a little bit during breakfast, and although we couldn't completely gain Mr. Huang's trust, we at least got his permission for us to dig his rockery.
When we came to the Huang family's backyard and saw the rockery with its steep shape and clumsy shape, we realized that it would be a pity to destroy it.
However, a thousand pieces of gold is not as good as one life. Mr. Huang really had the courage to distrust the useful and distrust the suspicious, so he arranged for everyone to dig according to our instructions.
After digging for about an hour, I heard someone shouting loudly: "Come and look, there is a hole here!"
"Okay, don't dig anymore, leave the rest to us!" Boss Liu greeted, asking all those who were helping to step back, and motioned for the rest of us to come forward.
Seeing that everyone else had exited the backyard, with only Mr. Huang and the old housekeeper accompanying us not far away, Mr. Liu took the lead in taking the shovel and stood at the edge of the cave.
I saw the slanted cave under the rockery, which was about a foot wide and bottomless. It seemed that there was black energy coming out of the cave. Because the City God had long warned that Miss Huang was fascinated by the things in the cave.
, of course we had preconceptions, and we felt it was very weird and scary from the bottom of our hearts!
"You guys, for the sake of safety, I think we should just get some charcoal in and burn it alive!" As soon as Mr. Huang saw that a strange hole was dug out from under the rockery, he began to trust us more and more.
.
"That won't work, Mr. Huang," Mr. Liu said politely but decisively. "The City God specially arranged for us to tell us when it is time to repay grievances. It's better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. If we really burn it to death, wouldn't it be an injustice?
If it's deeper, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to solve in the future; not to mention that we don't understand the situation in this cave at all. If we can't burn it, but make it angry, wouldn't it be worse?"
Mr. Huang originally hated this thing that obsessed his daughter and wanted to burn it alive. But after hearing what Mr. Liu said, he suddenly understood and nodded in agreement - if he didn't burn it to death, it would definitely cause serious trouble!
"Okay, okay, it's better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies, so I'll do as you say!" Mr. Huang's words also made us at a loss. Although we didn't intend to make enemies of the evil thing in the cave, we had no idea what it was.
What kind of thing, let alone knowing how to deal with it, I can only blame the Lord Cheng Huang for hesitating and not explaining clearly.
"Boss Liu, do you think there are skeletons and zombies in this hole, or some kind of ghosts and elves?" Xiao Li looked at the dark hole, frowned and asked, "This hole is so small, and people can't get in.
What should I do?"
"Xiao Li, you are talking nonsense. You think this hole is your sweet potato cellar. Not to mention that you can't get in, even if you can get in, we don't know the details of it at all, and we can't take risks easily!" Goudan said nothing to Miss Huang.
Of course I don’t want to accidentally risk my life if I have any undue thoughts.
"Well, what Brother Goudan said makes sense. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. We don't know what's in this cave at all, so of course we can't be careless!" Boss Liu ordered, "Let me see it this way. Xiao Li, you take a look first.
Keep an eye on this hole, in case the monster suddenly rushes out and runs away, we will first look around to see if there are any other exits, if not, we will find a way to lure it out!"
A few of us carefully searched the surroundings and found no other cave entrances. We all concentrated on that cave entrance, thinking about how to start.
"How about this, Mr. Huang, I think your puppy is very smart and bold, and barks happily. Why not try letting it get in?" Boss Liu said.
"What a great idea, what a great idea. I'll ask someone to bring it over right now!"
He quickly brought the puppy over, put it at the entrance of the cave, and threw a meat bone into the hole, hoping that it would go in and explore the way. But the puppy came happily all the way to the entrance of the cave and sniffed at the entrance.
After a few attempts, he actually managed to run out, not daring to go in at all, not even the meat and bones that he usually likes to eat!
"It seems that the guy in this cave is very powerful. The dog's nose is very sharp. Judging from its frightened look, it must have smelled something!" Boss Liu said, "Let's do this. Everyone takes a few steps back and stands farther away.
Just in case that thing rushes out suddenly and catches us by surprise!"
The rest of us immediately retreated, loading bullets and lances, just in case. Although we were prepared to spare its life, value peace, and persuade it to let go, who can guarantee that it also has a kind heart and will not harm us? You know
The spirit in this cave is not only full of grievances, but also has charming abilities. If it kills us, we will be in trouble!
"You guys, please cover me, I'll go over and call it!" Boss Liu made arrangements, walked to the side of the cave, and shouted loudly into the cave: "Hey, listen to the things inside, we know it was you who harmed others.
Miss Huang, I’m here to help you reconcile! I won’t hurt you, so just come out quickly!”
After Mr. Liu finished speaking, he immediately retreated. We also took aim with our rifles in hand, standing ready just in case.
Before long, we smelled a fishy smell escaping from the hole. Needless to say, it must be the spirit inside. We were really excited and scared. What was exciting was that there seemed to be great hope to solve the problem.
, we are bragging among the Huang family, and it would be embarrassing if we returned empty-handed; what we are afraid of is that we have no idea what is in this hole, and whether it will cause us casualties!
Before I had time to think about it, the stench suddenly became thicker, and then I saw a pipa-like multi-legged monster rushing out. I saw it holding up a pair of sharp claws like pincers, and a sharp spear-like stick sticking out of its tail.
The thing rushed to the entrance of the cave menacingly, staring at us like a menacing look!
Needless to say, this thing that is more than a foot long is a doting giant scorpion!
We have seen this kind of thing before. Thinking that the tip of its tail can spray poisonous mist, we all have the urge to shoot it immediately!
"Don't shoot!" Boss Liu stared at the giant scorpion and ordered in a low voice without blinking an eye. "It's a last resort, and you must not shoot easily!"
Although the giant scorpion stared at us fiercely, with a pair of sharp pincers dangling at us in demonstration, it did not rush towards us, nor did it spray out poisonous mist. It must have been capable of charming and causing disease, and it must have
We are deeply spiritual and know that we do not mean any harm, and we also understand the power of the weapons in our hands!
We faced each other for a while, but the giant scorpion probably didn't want to end up hurting both of us, so it slowly turned around and tried to get back into the hole.
"Jia Shanzhu, don't leave yet. It was the City God who asked us to come here to find you!" I couldn't help but call out, calling it by its name in its previous life. You must know that we can't shoot it, and we can't stop it. If
If it goes back into the hole and cannot come out, the problem will be difficult to solve.
The giant scorpion was indeed very intelligent. I even doubted that it could understand our words! Because as soon as I finished speaking, it had already entered the cave entrance and stopped, then turned back again and stared at us motionless.
"Boss Liu, it's up to you!" I quickly pushed Boss Liu with my left hand.
"Oh, it's like this, Jia Shanzhu, the City God told us yesterday that we already understand the grievances between you and Miss Huang in the past life. What the City God meant was when will repay grievances be repaid. It is not appropriate to dissolve enemies but to end them. That's why we let him We are here, hoping that you can turn conflicts into friendship and untie this evil knot!" Boss Liu said sincerely.
"By the way, and what's more, the City God also said that the Huang family should apologize to you and compensate for the losses. Please be kind and let Miss Huang go!" Xiao Li also joined in, and he and Boss Liu started fighting. This is the banner of the City God. Presumably the giant scorpion will give the City God a slap in the face!
