surname teacher

Chapter 61 Ding

A small dim oil lamp illuminated a simple small table and three low stools in the middle of the room. The wick old man dressed as an ordinary old man walked to the table with a hunched back and trembling. Judging from his appearance, he was really ugly. There is no difference between him and ordinary old people.

Jin Heng and Shi Xiaoguang had just been brought out by him from the small alley called Dead End Alley, and they entered this low wall. The old man Wick, who habitually hides behind the candlelight, drooped his snow-white eyebrows and said in a hoarse voice to the two people in front of him,

"The old man's hospitality is not good. The surname teacher and this little friend can just sit here first. I already know about the fact that Ayun's girl was taken away by Zhang Bingzhong. I didn't come here because that Suijun was still in the carriage. I can't show up in front of you right away, I can only turn into a lamp shadow and attach to this child's shoulders to dare to follow you all the way..."

"Elder Deng also knows that Chongjun just now?"

The old man Dengxin's affectionate name for Xiao Wuyun was obviously an indirect acknowledgment of the relationship between the two of them. He vaguely noticed that the old man Dengxin seemed to know the gentleman who had just left. He was sitting under the oil lamp wearing a mask of impermanence. Jin Heng, whose hair was dyed a layer of light gold, also made a faint sound.

After stretching his gray-white brows and unconsciously blinking his eyes that are already old and dizzy, he took out a fire stick from the sleeves where his hands were folded and picked the wick of the oil lamp, then the old man narrowed his eyes and replied slowly ,

"I know, why don't I know him? Not only do I know him, but I have known him for many years. It's just that it's not suitable for you to have a close relationship with this Chongjun. Look at the wild people who followed you sneakily before. The two foxes should understand that they are full of villains, with a heart of jackals, and a kind teacher with a kind heart. I don't think they know that in our evil world, even the little dolls on the side of the road can hum a nursery rhyme, and this The nursery rhyme is that this Chongjun..."

"What... what nursery rhyme?"

The impression of Gentiana Qin, who kindly drove them for a certain distance just now and talked humorously and friendlyly along the way, was not bad. When he heard the old man Dengxin say that about him at first, Shi Xiaoguang, who was sitting next to him, suddenly asked a little puzzledly, But the lamp wick sneered noncommittally when he heard the words, and then slowly hummed while looking at the flickering oil lamp in front of him,

"Snake man's heart, lampstand oil, who is crying, the baby's head, the rattle is spinning, don't believe his words, be careful that he will eat you, the one who believes in him is a fool..."

This creepy nursery rhyme made Jin Heng's usual indifferent eyes behind the mask unconsciously changed, and the old man Dengxin who had finished reading this nursery rhyme just silently and expressionlessly opened his mouth. ,

"The surname teacher seems to have a little friendship with this Chongjun. I shouldn't talk too much about this kind of thing, but since you and Ayun know each other, and you came here to help save this time, the old man is here. Here is a word of advice to the surnamed teacher, that Mr. Sui's heart is cruel, far beyond the imagination of the two of you, and I have done business with him more than once. He has done too many things like murdering close relatives and playing with people's hearts. , you two still need to be more careful..."

The old man Dengxin spoke a little seriously, and just by hearing his tone, he knew that he obviously didn't like that evil gentleman in his heart, but his straightforward attitude of saying everything directly made people feel a little suspicious of him.

So Shi Xiaoguang, who was a little embarrassed by the old man's words, only secretly glanced at Jin Heng beside him for a while, and then he didn't dare to say anything more when he thought about the relationship between him and his grandma, and the frown was also frowning behind the mask The white-haired young man slowly spoke after being silent for a while,

"Why did Deng Lao say that?"

"...The surname teacher should have guessed my origin, right?"

"Well, you are Ding Sheng?"

"That's right. When I was a human being, my name was Ding Baiting, and my name was Sanzhang. I don't know if this teacher with the surname has any characters?"

"Suoyang, my elders started it when I was young, but I don't use it very much."

"So that's the case, that old man just spoke bluntly with the surname teacher... I died in Songjiang and turned into a candlestick. After that, I went around collecting wasted time and selling it to make a living. The reason why this Suijun got acquainted with me is Because he made a deal with me once."

Having said that, the old man Dengxin did not shy away from telling Jin Heng the truth. After all, his first transaction with that Lord Qingjiao started many years ago, and he probably recalled that in his mind. The words that the ugly boy with bruises on his cheeks said when he found himself expressionlessly, the old man Wick, who is now so old and whose memories are gradually blurred with the dim light of the candle, still feels that The memory is still fresh.

"I have been selling time for a living for so many years. Anyone who has the means and perseverance to find me, if they have good intentions and are not too greedy, I will agree to fulfill their wishes at the same price... His At that time, he was still a young man, and I had never seen him before, but he found me out of nowhere, and offered me a condition of exchanging time with my heart... ..."

"... under what conditions?"

"Exchange my heart for the condition of going back to the past to change the fate of three people at a certain time... At that time, I thought he didn't want to see his relatives leave, so I agreed to the condition of exchanging hearts with him for a while. Things are really precious, so they can't be easily exchanged with others. I will never show such kindness every day... But I later found out that all of this was done by our Suijun in order to transform himself into a dragon. He made a poisonous plan, premeditated murder and then pretended to save people, so that the gods in the sky could see his sincere heart to revive his relatives even after giving up his heart, but it is a pity that the truth of this incident was finally given I saw it through, so he who intentionally killed someone was punished as he should..."

"..."

"It's just that some time ago, he didn't know whether it was for himself or for something, and he came to borrow my heart again, but as long as I think about being played by this vicious king who murdered his relatives as a monkey, I will get angry. However, I deliberately asked him for something that was quite valuable to him, and provoked him with many harsh words, but he actually agreed without hesitation, and borrowed his heart back for three days. months... But I don't know if it was because of this incident that he was angered, which made Ayun miss Zhang Bingzhong and him this time. I guess this time he still wants to get his heart from me. Go back...it's Zhang Bingzhong who is as stupid as a pig, I don't know what he's doing this time..."

The irritated and impatient Old Man Wick was talking in such a rambling manner, it was clear that he had already seen through Qin Gentian's thoughts at the moment, because when he and Qin Gentian made a deal with Qin Gentian with long hair, he actually didn't understand him very clearly. After returning to his heart, he really wants to do something, so even if he is sitting in front of Jin Heng, who has a special relationship with Gentiana Qin, he can't see the true face of this young teacher at all.

And after hearing his words, Shi Xiaoguang, who had never thought of such a past incident before, seemed quite surprised, but seeing that the old man Dengxin had a deep prejudice against Gentiana Qin, and he seemed to look down on him even in every sentence. However, this kind and simple child said in a low voice with some unbearable heart,

"Well, Grandma's...Father...Actually...this is not necessarily the case. What if he really felt that he had made a mistake and regretted it, so he came to you to save his relatives...And he had Since you are willing to exchange your precious things for your heart, it should be because you really know that you are wrong, and you want to live a normal life again. Why... You are so sure that he still has bad intentions, we Now there is no way to determine who sent those foxes..."

"... To make that family die badly, but that Chongjun himself said it back then! Those wild foxes in Xuanqiu have worn a pair of pants with him for many years, who else could it be! I I have never had much contact with these people in the Chongjie, not him, Your Excellency! Where is my only daughter who lives in the world, how can I be found so easily by these monsters? Instead of believing what he said, you might as well Believe that the mountains can walk, the water can flow backwards, and it is more reliable for the dead to come back to life!"

The old man Dengxin shook his head and sneered when he said this. Jin Heng, who frowned, always felt that this matter was so familiar that he couldn't tell, but because the emotional old man Dengxin didn't share some of the most important things. The details are too clear, so he didn't think too much about anything wrong for a while.

Seeing that Shi Xiaoguang was still a little hesitant and confused, the old man with a little annoyance in his eyes first glanced at the oil lamp in front of him, then lowered his voice and said slowly,

"You stupid baby, I really don't know how Ayun taught you to such a great age! If Mr. Sui is really a person who knows his mistakes and corrects them, I will give him my heart back! It's okay to make such a loss-making business! But Just ask any kid on the roadside in the Chongjie, and they will know that since he returned to the Chongjie, everything he has done is killing people! Evil deeds to strengthen his own position! Just such a ulterior motive, full of lies, casually It’s just a poisonous snake who plays with people’s hearts, how do you make me believe what he said? Could it be that I’m really waiting for the day when the mountain walks, the water flows backwards, and the dead come back to life!!”

Having said that, the already angry Old Man Wick seemed to be really angry, so that Jin Heng, who had been sitting by the side listening to the conversation between the two of them, could only take the initiative to defuse the embarrassing atmosphere.

And when Jin Heng took the initiative to talk about how they rescued Xiao Wuyun together in Xitang before Zishi, the old man Dengxin barely suppressed his anger, and then the strange old man who stood up holding the lampstand started to twitch strangely She twitched her cheeks, frowned again, and said to Jin Heng slowly with a obviously better attitude,

"In the nest, the danger is extremely dangerous. That girl, Ayun, is acting recklessly. I'm really afraid that she will be in more danger if she stays there for a moment longer. The old man is relieved to have a teacher here. With your help this time, when the time comes Saving people should be smoother, this kind of favor... in the future, Lampwick and Ah Yun will definitely return it to the surname teacher."

"It's okay, the old lamp is polite."

After saying these two sentences in such a polite and rusty manner, for the time being, he no longer wanted to talk to their wicks, so he stood up with a straight face and went out directly, until the bad-tempered old man who competed with his daughter Xiao Wuyun finally left , he said a word of comfort to the troubled Shi Xiaoguang

"Don't argue with the elderly about this kind of issue, you won't be able to convince them."

"...Master Jin."

"Hmm, what's up?"

"What kind of person do you think that Chongjun is?"

"I?"

"Yeah...you should have known him for a long time, I see the way you talk...it seems that the relationship is quite good..."

I don't know how Shi Xiaoguang came to the conclusion that he has a good relationship with that sinister, cunning and ambitious Chongjun. In order not to hurt this kind-hearted silly boy as much as possible, Jin Heng could only frown and think hard. After a while, he spoke seriously again,

"He seems to be quite nice to the female tamarin."

"Ah... so it's gone?"

Shi Xiaoguang looked sullen and Jin Heng fell silent for some reason. To be honest, he hadn't been particularly attentive when Old Man Wick was talking about that Chongjun just now, so naturally he didn't have any special feelings now.

And compared to this, in fact, he was more worried that he would not be able to go back tonight, and whether his own Qin Gentiana would feel something was wrong when he got home from get off work tomorrow morning, and he could see that this silly boy seemed to be sincerely thinking about that. People, the mind is also very uncertain Chong Jun is troubled, Jin Heng with a slightly puzzled expression can only ask him symbolically,

"You seem to like that Chongjun very much?"

"……kindness?"

"Then why did you keep talking for him just now?"

"It's not...it's just the tone he spoke to you in the car before, and the look in his eyes that looked at people always gave me a very familiar...as if I've seen him a long time ago...so always I feel... always feel..."

When the words came to his lips, he stopped strangely. Shi Xiaoguang said in such a daze, the face of the little yellow dog who always looked silly was also covered with a thoughtful expression.

At the same time, in his mind, whose memory is so blurred that he can hardly see anything clearly, he seems to be able to see in a small yard a long time ago, a thin figure with his head bowed and his knees hugged, sitting soaked and soaked. The outside of his yard refused to leave, while his mother, who was almost driven crazy, cried out through the door panel and shouted something over and over again.

"...I beg you, hurry up!! This is not your home...you just let our family go, please... hurry up!! hurry up...OK!!"
