People who travel fast are good at being ridden by ghosts

Chapter 20

Bai Hao snorted disdainfully. After watching a humiliating scene, he really didn't know what this man was here for.

After Bai Hao went back, he told Bai Yilou about this matter. Bai Yilou thought about it and said, "Someone is probably dissatisfied with the treatment of Taoist priests. Seeing him lose power now, naturally he wants to humiliate him."

When Bai Hao thought it was true, he looked at Bai Yilou and couldn't help but be speechless. As expected of Bai Yilou, he pointed out the key point with a sharp word, and at the same time, he was wronged by Qingyang Daoist. These people are really too much.

Bai Yilou said: "This kind of thing may happen frequently in the near future, you should pay attention to it yourself, don't deliberately cause trouble."

Bai Hao nodded indifferently, agreeing.

In the next few days, as Bai Yilou said, the young masters and wives in this courtyard would always find some random reasons to come in and search every room. First, they were very curious about what this mysterious Taoist priest looked like. , I want to see how good the place where this person who has been respected for more than a year is really good. The third thing is to express my disdain.

However, everyone entered the other courtyard under the pretext of being dirty, but they couldn't open the last room anyway, so they had to leave angrily.

Bai Hao has been messing around in other courtyards recently, and he is aggrieved by these crap. Although he can't figure out the details of this Taoist priest, this group of people is obviously bullying too much.

Fortunately, Taoist Master Qingyang's ignoring attitude made this group of unreasonable troublemakers gradually calm down. Bai Hao secretly praised the Taoist priest for his thoughtful behavior, but at the same time struggled because he couldn't see himself, so it was difficult to know the truth. What people think in their hearts is really a bit tangled to the point of pain.

On this day, Bai Hao followed Brother Yang to clean the Qingyang Taoist priest's other courtyard as usual, but the guy gave Bai Hao a meat bun, claiming that he was not feeling well, and asked Bai Hao to clean it alone, and Bai Hao didn't have much to do. Thinking about it, I took the buns and walked into the other courtyard with a bamboo broom.

There was a nice smell of sandalwood in the courtyard today, and the door of the square room was still tightly closed. Bai Hao glanced around, took a breath and warmed his hands, thinking that he might not see this Taoist priest today, so he took a broom and started to walk from the corner. clean up.

There was the sound of a broom rubbing against the ground in the courtyard. Bai Hao swept the fallen leaves on the ground very hard, planning to bake buns after finishing, but he didn't notice that a door in the courtyard was opened.

Just as Bai Hao was concentrating, there was a sudden coughing sound in the courtyard. Bai Hao was startled and almost threw the broom in his hand.

Bai Hao turned around in displeasure, and followed the sound. As soon as he saw the person under the eaves behind him, he was so frightened that he yelled and looked at him in disbelief.

The man hurriedly covered his face, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't scare you."

Bai Hao stared at this person closely, his fingers hidden in his sleeves trembling uncontrollably, what happened to him to make him look like this.

Just now, Bai Hao accidentally saw that this person's left eye socket was a pitch-black hole, without eyeballs and eyelids, just like a natural black hole. At this time, he was covering his left face with his right hand, but his left arm was a With an empty sleeve, his only right leg supported the weight of his entire body, and a crutch lay beside his feet. He leaned against the door behind him to stabilize his body, and looked at Bai Hao with his right eye.

This man has no left eye, left arm and left leg, and his figure looks very weird. When Bai Hao saw that he was wearing a Taoist robe, he suddenly realized in his heart, could this man be that Taoist priest?

Bai Hao breathed out secretly, and stammered: "No, it's okay, I just scanned, and I was a little absorbed in the sweeping. When I first heard the coughing sound, I was unavoidably startled."

This person is indeed Taoist Qingyang, he covered his face with his sleeve, Bai Hao couldn't see his reaction, but he heard him say: "I was the one who was abrupt, little brother, please continue."

Qingyang Taoist spoke with difficulty and turned around to move into the house, but without his crutches, he couldn't move an inch.

Seeing this, Bai Hao hurried forward to pick up the crutches and handed them over to him. The Qingyang Taoist priest slightly tilted his face to prevent Bai Hao from seeing him, took the crutches with his back to him, thanked him and walked into the house.

However, Bai Hao couldn't let go of the opportunity to find out. He saw that Taoist Master Qingyang had no malicious intentions and was kind to others. After leaving the room, he pulled away the chair blocked by the door.

Bai Hao straightened up, and only then was he able to see the front of Daoist Qingyang. It turned out that his left face was also unavoidable. The skin on his face was full of cracks, which looked terrifying.

Bai Hao managed to restrain the urge to frown in his heart, and did not show any expression of fear.

Daoist Qingyang was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Bai Hao for a moment, he saw that the other party did not show disgust or fear, and then said: "It's rare that the little brother doesn't dislike the poor, I don't know if the little brother will reward you, stay here for a drink How about two cups of tea?"

Bai Hao smiled and said, "Okay."

Daoist Qingyang nodded, and slowly moved to his seat to sit. Bai Hao consciously picked up the teapot, filled the earthen vat in the corner of the room with water, hung it on the charcoal basin and started burning it.

Daoist Qingyang pointed to the chair on the side, and said, "Little brother sits down. I can't move easily, and I can't greet you well, so I will ask my little brother to do it for you."

Bai Hao waved his hand, and jokingly said, "The Taoist priest is so polite, I feel a little restless."

Taoist Master Qingyang hurriedly said: "Little brother only regards this place as his own home, there is no need to be restrained, it is rare to meet someone in the poor way to talk, and it is inevitable to be polite, but I didn't know that little brother is so bold."

Bai Hao laughed twice, and said, "I don't have any etiquette, and the Taoist priest will laugh at me."

He moved his butt without a trace, and sat on the chair padded with several layers of fur blankets so comfortable that he wished he could shrink into it.

After hearing the words, Taoist Master Qingyang admired Bai Hao even more, and said: "I see that the little brother is a good-looking person, not like a rude person, but he is young and has a true temperament."

Bai Hao was looking around the room, and saw that the floor was covered with thick carpets, and the tables and chairs were all made of high-quality wood, exuding a very refreshing fragrance. It seemed that Bai Wenchang had indeed fulfilled his promise at the time and gave It's no wonder why people are envious of Qingyang Daoist's treatment.

In order not to attract the attention of the other party by looking at the house, Bai Hao said with a smile: "The Taoist priest praised you, your room is much more comfortable than the place where I live, but it is too quiet, Taoist priest, you live here alone Come on, don't you feel bored?"

"It's really boring." Daoist Qingyang sighed, and said: "What can I do, it's all my choice, and I can only bear the boredom."

Bai Hao keenly sensed the loneliness in these words, and he really wanted to tell Bai Yilou what he saw at this moment, but he also wanted to tell more about him, so he had to be patient and talk to Taoist Qingyang some irrelevant things.

Bai Hao brewed a few cups of hot tea, and talked to him for a long time, all of which were useless. Seeing that he had gained nothing, he could only excuse himself to clean the courtyard, and left the house.

Bai Hao quickly cleaned the yard, took the broom and ran back to the firewood room to look for Bai Yilou, and mysteriously told Bai Yilou what he had seen and heard.

Bai Yilou put down the hatchet in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said: "If my guess is correct, his current appearance must have been punished by what he said."

"God's punishment?" Bai Hao suddenly realized, and said, "It's probably true. He also said before that he would be punished by God if he pointed to the upright position. No wonder I listened to him in such a lonely tone. Whoever looks like him, I guess I can’t even accept it, and if it were me, I would definitely regret it.”

Bai Yilou hummed, and Bai Hao suddenly thought of something, and said indignantly: "This Bai Wenchang is too insignificant, let the Taoist Qingyang point him to the right place, and now he has changed his normal behavior. I didn't even take a look at him. I sat there for several hours, but I didn't see anyone coming to serve me. I guess these servants didn't take him seriously when they saw that Bai Wenchang didn't take people seriously. Could it be that Bai Wenchang took him seriously? After people use it, they have to unload the mill and kill the donkey?"

However, Bai Yilou raised the corners of his lips in a rare way, and said, "Looks like I guessed right, this Bai Wenchang wants to kill a donkey, but Qingyang is not a donkey to be slaughtered."

Bai Hao frowned when he heard the words, squatted down beside Bai Yilou, and said, "According to what you said, is it possible that Taoist Master Qingyang has left behind for himself?"

"You'll know it after reading it." Bai Yilou said, "You should pay more attention to Qingyang recently."

Bai Hao nodded, sat down and followed Bai Yilou to fetch water after chopping firewood.

Ever since he got acquainted with Qingyang, Bai Hao often went to chat with him in his spare time, and after going back and forth, Bai Hao became an inseparable friend with this person.

That night, after Bai Hao finished chopping firewood, he put down the hatchet and wanted to run to the other courtyard in Qingyang. Bai Yilou grabbed Bai Hao's collar with his backhand and said coldly, "Where are we going?"

Bai Hao was carried up by him in a short padded jacket, and his stomach was exposed outside and was blown cold by the cold wind. He hurriedly tore off the hem of his clothes and said, "I'm going to play with Taoist Master Qingyang."

Hearing this, Bai Yilou frowned and said, "What are you playing?"

Bai Hao said inexplicably: "What else can I play, just chat."

Bai Yilou picked him up and turned around to face himself, saying, "Recently, I always come back in the middle of the night, did you find any useful information?"

Bai Hao shook his head, tugged at his clothes, always felt that Bai Yilou was a little weird, "I haven't talked about any useful news yet, but when I go these days, I always bump into him carving something like an iron plate. The next time, as long as I went into the house, he hid it, and I didn't see what it was."

Bai Yilou frowned and thought for a while, then said: "It's possible that he will do something in the near future, you don't have to monitor him these few days, I have my own arrangements."

When Bai Hao heard that Bai Yilou refused to let him go and play with him, he was a little unhappy. He didn't have the consciousness to watch Qingyang as a bad guy, and he could tell just by looking at how well he chatted with Qingyang. I met him as a good friend, so I said frankly: "I don't want to spy on him, it's okay to talk to him."

"No." Bai Yilou refused without thinking, and said, "Recently, you have become more and more presumptuous, but you forgot what we had an appointment with?"

Bai Hao said unwillingly: "What was the agreement? Isn't it just that I won't get involved in your affairs? Now you even have to control what I'm going to do. That's not good."

Bai Yilou raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect this guy to refute, it was the first time in a long time, and it was because of that Taoist priest, Bai Yilou couldn't help feeling unhappy, and asked with a blank expression: "You don't need me to take care of it?"

Bai Hao looked at Bai Yilou without making a sound for a long time, no one can offend him if he offends here, who told him to control his own destiny and be the only person he can rely on here, Bai Hao looked at him unwillingly, Compromise: "You just heard nothing when I didn't say anything."

Bai Yilou hummed lightly, and left the firewood room first.
