Chapter 71 Give You Freedom
After listening to Chen Ou's advice, I introduced it to my mother when I went back, saying that Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng were my friends in high school and came to give me some lessons.
My mother was so happy that she couldn't stop hearing this. She thanked Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng for a lot of thanks, as if these two shameless men gave me a lot of benefits.
But I know that my mother really hopes that I will study hard and have a promising future. Studying may not be promising, but without education, I will never be able to raise my head in my life.
After chatting for a few words, before I could speak, my mother went to the chicken coop to catch two big roosters and gave me a blue egg.
The countryside is poor, and adults are reluctant to eat it, but they are not stingy with their children. Except for the year and a half when they were harmed by Xiaohong, the family really can't take out the eggs at home. I ate half of them, so my mother would take them to the market for money.
She must have accumulated the basket of eggs in front of her for a long time.
I felt a little reluctant to hold it, but I just remembered Xiaohong and took it over.
When I left, I pulled my second uncle's old cow back. There was nothing in a thousand things. When dealing with Yinsha Sect, I also asked it for help.
After leaving the door, Chen Ou pulled Zhang Mengmeng and muttered a few words, as if he was collecting something. After a while, Zhang Mengmeng held more than 2,000 yuan in her hand and said embarrassedly: "Brother Lin, we didn't bring much on us when we came out. This little money is just for the aunt's intention!"
I knew their kindness and didn't want it at first, but I thought about my father fighting Zuo Wuyi and Meng Tuo in the mountains, and he didn't know where he went. Next month, he might not be able to send money to my mother.
I originally wanted to say a few words of thanks, but I just remembered that Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng said that the Lingbi stone of Xiaohong's family was priceless. I frowned and took the money from Zhang Mengmeng and said, "Don't think about sending me a few thousand yuan. This little money is not enough for a millet grain deducted from the Lingbi stone."
Lingbi stone is really expensive, and Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng also refuted speechlessly.
I naturally took the money in my hand, handed the old cow to Zhang Mengmeng and pulled it, ran home, and stuffed the money to my mother, saying that it was the money left by my father when I met my father.
When I heard that it was my father left it, my mother didn't ask much and happily put it away.
Before leaving, I was a little worried and told my mother that if she encounters some strange things, or sees strangers, she should tell me as soon as possible.
Because of grandma's affairs, my mother was still a little scared, and she asked worriedly: "Xiaochu, your grandma's affairs have been so long, so there will be no trouble, right?"
Grandpa and grandma both died and their bodies were buried in peace. But what happened later, from the moment, is just the beginning.
Moreover, grandpa’s coffin seems to have some secrets hidden, but as a junior, I will not disturb grandpa’s rest in peace.
I smiled and told my mother that it was okay, but my second uncle had made friends with some people outside, afraid that they would not be able to find my second uncle.
After saying this, my mother didn't ask much.
Zhang Mengmeng and we carried the chicken and pulled the cow back to our second uncle's house. It was already past ten o'clock. Zhang Mengmeng and Chen Ou helped slaughter the big rooster. I turned over some dried matsutake mushrooms, combined with the chicken, and stewed a large pot full of stew.
While I was busy, Xiaohong kept sitting in the kitchen and guarding it. At around twelve o'clock noon, the chicken was served, which was delicious. In addition, I also added two fried poached eggs to Xiaohong.
As a result, just as we sat down and prepared to have a meal, Xiaohong stood up and said, "I have no appetite, so I won't eat anymore!"
I was stunned for a moment, and looked at her leaving back, feeling complicated.
Perhaps as the old saying goes, it is not a good thing for us to force her to keep her.
After working hard for a long time, I was so hungry that my chest was pressed against my back. Now it was not the time to talk about it. I forced myself to hold my face and smiled and said to Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng: "It's okay, she may be feeling unwell, let's eat it."
At the moment of food, Zhang Mengmeng and Chen Ou were not saying anything. The three of them ate in one go and their belly was round. After dinner, I cleaned up the dishes. Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng rushed to feed the second uncle's old cow, and stared at the big ring knife on the cow dung and started studying it.
I didn't have much thought about the origin of the knife. After washing the dishes, I took out the textbook and barely reviewed it. Zhang Mengmeng and Chen Ou studied the "cow shit" for a long time, but they didn't figure it out. When I came in, I saw me reading a book and glanced at the test paper I had done before. The figures of fifty-eight points on it were very obvious.
Zhang Mengmeng picked it up and looked at it, and hit me, "Lin Chu, at your level, there is no future if you continue to read it. And you don't lack this. As long as you are willing, take the Lingbi Stone outside and sell it, one can have wealth that others will never suffer for several lifetimes."
I smiled and said nothing.
But I know that what my mother said about is not that I want me to make a fortune or ability, nor that it depends on how much money I have. My mother just wants me to be educated and that I will not be looked down upon when I go out in society in the future.
As for the fifty-eight-point paper, the reason why I don’t hide it is because this score is considered average in our class.
But in the eyes of Zhang Mengmeng and Chen Ou, they seem to be a slag.
Seeing that they were talking so well, they just asked them to tutor me. After some exchange, I had to admit that the grades of the students in the city were really different from those of the students in our village. The two of them tutored me for a long time with showing off, and I also learned a lot of things.
I am so hardworking that in addition to really wanting to increase my knowledge, I am more afraid that I will think about Xiaohong when I am idle.
But no matter how I escape, I always have to face it. But for now, I chose to deceive myself.
I went to ask her to have dinner in the evening, but she said she wouldn't eat it. Chen Ou and the other three of them heated up the cold chicken, and it became dark after eating.
I sat under the moon for more than half an hour, but I figured it out and planned to talk to Xiaohong. If she really didn't want to stay, I would let her go. Where is the second uncle? I'll explain it.
But as soon as I climbed to the stairs, my mother turned on the flashlight and pushed open the door anxiously. Before she could see me, she shouted: "Xiaochu, no, the two big white snakes at your grandma's funeral are back."
When I heard this, I responded quickly and ran downstairs. Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng also came out of the room. I comforted my mother and told her not to be afraid, and then went over and checked together.
When I arrived at the gate of my house, my mother didn't need to point my mother. I saw two big white snakes wrapped around the door post, with their tails underneath, their heads facing upwards, their eyes closed, like sculptures.
Zhang Mengmeng gasped and said, "Snake closed her eyes, this is so evil."
In nature, some animals are born to be unable to close their eyes, and their eyes will not even turn. Snakes are just this type of animal, but the two big white snakes in front of them are now like they are asleep, with their eyes closed.
I knew that the big white snake was possessed by Liu Bao and Zhao Zhijie, and I was prepared, but my mother didn't know that Zhang Mengmeng almost scared her to death.
Chen Ou was quite a bit slutty and mocked Zhang Mengmeng: "You know, no, I heard that there is a kind of snake that can blink your eyes. What is it called? White Dragon Snake, yes, it is White Dragon Snake. It was discovered in Nanyun a few years ago. It is a new species. It is said that the eyes of this snake are the same as humans."
My mother has no education. It is precisely because of this that she hopes that I will study well. Chen Ou is very lying when he tells lies. My mother believes it as soon as she hears it, and even echoes: "Yes, yes, the eyes of these two snakes are the same as those of humans."
Chen Ou continued my mother's words and said, "Auntie, don't be afraid. It's normal to have snakes in the mountains. Lin Chu, you can send your aunt back to rest first!"
I helped my mother and sent her to the house. I comforted her for a few words. Before going out, my mother also told me not to harm the white snakes. They appeared at grandma's funeral, and they were afraid that it would be the incarnation of grandpa and grandma, so I came back to see us.
I uttered, turned around, and I hurried out and closed the main hall door.
When he arrived at the gate, Chen Ou said with a gloomy face: "Lin Chu, what's going on? Why did the demon follow you all the time?"
"It's a long story!" I stared at the two white snakes, and was helpless, and told the story of the God's Visioner and Zuo Wuyi.
After listening, Zhang Mengmeng said, "Do you have a brain problem? You have to take things that others can't hide. You said that only these two people, their death has a half-cent relationship with you, and you have to make a promise!"
I have said about Zhao Zhijie, Liu Bao and the others before, and Chen Ou helped analyze it, so I said straight: "My three classmates died strangely. Even if they don't come to this, I will find out."
Chen Ou said helplessly: "Where can we have time to care about their affairs now? We are more powerful than mountain spirits and wild monsters. They are still peaceful now. If they are uneasy, it will be a big trouble!"
I looked at Baishe and said, "No matter what, they are my classmates and will not harm me. They come to the door and may just want to supervise me."
When I was talking, Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng were ready to take action. I stood in front, blocked them, and tried to say to the two white snakes: "You have heard what I said just now. When you are thinking about a classmate, you should not make things difficult for me, let alone you know my current situation, and you should not cause trouble for me. Instead, you should find a way to help me overcome the difficulties, so that I can have time to investigate your affairs and give you an explanation!"
Almost as soon as I finished speaking, the eyes of the two white snakes opened and fell off the door frame.
When Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng saw it, they also said strangely: "Do they really retain their consciousness?"
"Yeah!" I nodded and called Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng back to my second uncle's house. After we walked a few steps, two big white snakes followed, obviously agreeing to my proposal.
