surname teacher

Chapter 57 Ding

The door was forced open by the rats, the walls were covered with dirty footprints, the fragments of the water bottle were scattered all over the floor, and there was a little yellow dog with a black nose and a swollen face that was beaten under the incense table.

More than half an hour ago, when Jin Heng received Shi Xiaoguang's distress call and rushed to Xiaoshi's house, which he had just visited during the day, what he saw was exactly the scene in front of him.

Although I had been mentally prepared before coming here, seeing the shivering Shi Xiaoguang hiding under the table with a pot on his head, still made Jin Heng speechless, and he probably noticed a few spots on the wall. He made a series of footprints, and patted the table lightly with his hand. As soon as the terrified Shi Xiaoguang raised his head, he met Jin Heng's downcast eyes and stared at him.

"Jin... Teacher with the surname Jin..."

"Well, don't cry, come out first."

With such a wet nose from crying, and a soft and simple dog face, it is impossible for any normal person to be cruel to him, but the group of rats who broke in in the middle of the night to snatch the bride is very easy to deal with, not only A group of beatings rushed up one by one, besieged the honest Shi Xiaoguang, took Xiaoshi away, and scare the honest boy wickedly before swaggering away.

Enduring the stimulation of the strong light, he raised his hand to turn on the light and entered the inner room, then bent down and took advantage of the weak indoor light to notice the injury on Shi Xiaoguang's face for the first time. Hurry up and help Shi Xiaoguang climb out from under the table little by little.

After taking out some bandages and ointment bought in advance from the pharmacy on the way, he briefly treated the wounds on his ears and face, and listened to the first victim retell some things on the phone just now. again.

It turned out that the cause of the incident had to start after nightfall, because Jin Heng came to the house during the day, so Xiaoshi sent away the last two pilgrims early today, closed the door of the small attic and hid in the room, not knowing what to do .

During the period, Shi Xiaoguang called her several times, but Xiaoshi didn't agree. She stuck her head out almost until it was completely dark and asked when she could have dinner.

As soon as I heard that my grandma had taken the initiative to rush dinner today, Shi Xiaoguang, who usually takes care of all the housework at home, also hurried to do it, and then he lay down in the small attic to help Xiaoshi do all the homework on the weekend It's over.

But just when the grandma and grandson, whose daily roles were completely reversed, had dinner and watched TV programs as usual, and were about to go back to the room to sleep, suddenly there was a rather ear-piercing suona sound from the old-fashioned hollow wall above the attic , and then eight or nine fat mice in red coats carried Huaqiao and jumped out of the wall laughing and singing songs.

[Red lanterns, white lanterns, red and white lanterns red and white things --]

【The magpie is here, congratulations to the nine rats, lice grow in the mouth of the stinky fish——】

The last gloomy nursery rhyme was also heard by Jin Heng, who went to the Chong Realm when the descendant of the Huang family was forcibly married last time, but it is slightly different from this one. Speaking of nursery rhymes, there are some special allusions.

Legend has it that in the past Chinese folk, because most of the common people were illiterate, some elderly witches and gods would use nursery rhymes to record many taboos, daily routines and mantras in life, and then spread them by humming .

For example, the most common one is panic and panic. My family has a crying man at night is one of them, and the one that the mice are chanting is also one of them.

And the reason why these weird and evil nursery rhymes are passed on by word of mouth is said to be because witches and gods need to spread them through the mouths of others, especially to scare some disobedient children who like to run around and let them understand the meaning of these nursery rhymes. Those warnings are not used by the elderly to deceive people, but are real.

Thinking like this, Jin Heng, who was sitting on the edge of the incense table and listening to Shi Xiaoguang's continuation, was not in a hurry to speak out for a while, but at the same time, in his heart, he didn't realize it. A layer of doubts arose.

"...Those mice didn't find anything else? They just broke in and took Xiaoshi away?"

"Yes, let's just say... let's say that there is a lord in the world who is going to marry my grandma now. My grandma said you don't have to dream, and the group of mice said they couldn't help you, and then they came up together to arrest people. The rest is... what, Didn't say anything..."

When Shi Xiaoguang said this, he felt that something was wrong. After all, at first he and his grandma thought that these mice were coming to grab something. Who knew they would end up robbing someone and running away.

And just now on the phone, he heard him mention the very familiar title of Mr. Chong, and now he confirmed it with Shi Xiaoguang again, and it turned out that he hadn't heard it wrong before.

However, in Jin Heng's view, this itself is another rather strange and unreasonable place.

Because when it comes to Mr. Chong, after much deliberation in the entire Chong world, only the one he knows will be called that by the group of mice.

But from the time when Geng Po was there, Jin Heng seemed to bump into him every time he had contact with the Chongjie, and sometimes even he himself didn't understand whether this was a coincidence in some sense or something dark It's the stuff that makes it all happen.

But the fact is that although that person sometimes behaves a little strangely, and his thoughts are as vicious and vicious as those of the crowd, but judging from the perception of the previous few encounters, it is really not that he would make such a bad taste. When it comes to the need to rob people's daughters to marry their wives.

Just thinking about it, this kind of thing is not easy to say easily. It is impossible to predict what that Chongjun will do. Who knows whether it is because of the obsession in his heart that he has cultivated after he went back last time? He has acquired a hobby as weird as that evil advocate Bingzhong.

After all, last time in Dog Lane, he himself admitted that he was very obsessed with his brother Bingzhong. Not only did he have an umbrella agreement, but he had been in love for many years, and he couldn't continue to love him with his heart... Plus The drunken heartfelt words at Huang's wedding before...

Well, love affairs in this world are indeed the most difficult for outsiders to explain. Isn't this the same as the situation before him and Qin Gentiana? It's enough if you think it's suitable, why care about others' opinions.

Thinking of this, it is undeniable that he would be willing to help him in the matter of the dog mother, and Jin Heng frowned slightly because he felt the same after hearing his words.

And Qin, who has been calculating all his life, if he knew that Jin Heng had listened to his elaborately fabricated lies in Dog Lane, it was such an inner feeling, so he ran home every other night and told him so. If something sounds good, he must be so angry that he vomits three liters of blood on the spot.

So far, I didn't feel that my train of thought was completely off track. His uncle, who might not be able to pull back even nine cows, quickly made an idea based on the current situation. Then he first looked down at the anxious-looking man in front of him. Shi Xiaoguang, after frowning again, told him in a very serious tone,

"I'll take you to a place later, follow me closely, and remember not to make any noise when you see something scary, do you hear me?"

"Okay... okay... I promise not to make a sound... As long as I can quickly find grandma, she is a girl... I must be very scared to be taken away like this..."

Shi Xiaoguang's nervous and sensible appearance made Jin Heng feel a little more at ease towards him, and thinking about the special blood relationship between him and his family member, he really couldn't be too serious about this child.

So next, Jin Heng directly led Shi Xiaoguang out from the top floor of the dormitory building of Yangchuan Textile Factory in the dark, called Zhao's carriage in the night sky, and galloped all the way over Yangchuan City after nightfall, and set himself looking for Xiaoguang. Clues to Shi's whereabouts——

In the end, he locked on a place that he used to send private messages to the evil king several times before - the ghost market without lights.

……

At this moment, above the unlit ghost market in the middle of the night, a green will-o'-the-wisp is flickering along the alleys. As usual, the ordinary evil spirits come out to do some shady small business by taking advantage of the opportunities of the night, only occasionally there are a few sporadic ones. Human buyers pass by pale-faced.

Among them, a female marmoset in a floral skirt who raised her head and stared at a snake doll sugar man without blinking was particularly eye-catching, and the old lady who sold the sugar man saw the ugly-faced monkey mother. As if refusing to leave in front of his booth, the three toothless mouths below his nose let out a cold snort, and then he bent down and asked her with a strange expression,

"Three or two people have one piece of meat, should I buy it or not?"

"... Roar... Woo..."

"Huh? Didn't you bring enough human flesh? If you didn't bring enough human flesh, just trade it for something I like, like that tail behind your butt or something haha? If you can't afford it, get out of here and stand in my way all the time." How do you do business, monkey butts don't smell bad..."

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo -"

Being ridiculed so intentionally, her face turned red and purple in an instant. The mother tamarin is actually not short of money on weekdays, but as soon as she has some savings, she will be impatient to buy a bunch of them. The rouge lip oil painted his hairy face colorfully, so naturally he couldn't even afford the money of an ordinary sugar man under such circumstances.

But helplessly, the snake doll stuck on the candy stick is really vivid and cute. Not only is it spitting out long snake letters, but it also has a pair of cute little dragon horns on its forehead, so the female marmoset who refused to leave at the moment became very red After a blink of an eye, scratching his head and scratching his head, he wanted to take out something of some value from under his flowery skirt.

Except for the banana peels that were thrown all over the floor, only the two packs of drunkard peanuts were worth two copper coins, and the old woman who was the owner of the stall who deliberately saw her joke laughed even more happily when she saw this, and laughed at the female tamarin loudly. At the same time, he was trying to get something to drive her away, but the female marmoset squatting on the ground was stimulated to scream, and almost burst into tears covering his face.

It was also at this time that a middle-aged man in the market in the distance suddenly had a pure white figure like a cloud in the mountains appearing from behind her, followed by a young man in a black cloak with a white mask on his face. The ghost appeared in front of the sugar figurine booth, and looked down at her calmly through the mask under the stunned gaze of the mother tamarin.

Jin Heng: "What do you want to buy?"

Female tamarin: "... roar?"

Jin Heng: "I brought money."

Female tamarin: "...Hoo?! ​​Hoo!? Hoo!!!!!!"
