2393Find the Ghost Old Man
Moreover, there were no scars on her body. Except for the clothes that were scratched by the thorns, her whole body was intact.
The middle-aged man pulled the girl and said, "Niuniu, don't talk to people you don't know!"
The man looked at Gu Xiaowan with a wary face, full of doubts in his heart.
In their village, except for a group of people who came in last time and came out intact, he never saw anyone who could escape unscathed. Moreover, the person in front of him was a little girl. How could he not be frightened!
"What are you doing here?" Zhang Daqiang said warily: "Did you come to the Mountain of Regret on purpose?"
Gu Xiaowan took a good breath and then stood up straight: "I'm here to see Mr. Gui!"
Zhang Daqiang looked shocked and ugly, but he didn't say anything. He turned around and took the little girl named Niuniu away. Gu Xiaowan followed him and walked forward.
Soon, the village we visited last time appeared in front of us.
Gu Xiaowan took a look at the village. The last time she came back, she still had fresh memories. They had come here with money to buy chickens and rabbits. It had just been a while, but this time she came back alone.
Seeing Zhang Daqiang coming with a strange girl, people gathered around him. They were all surprised when they saw Gu Xiaowan intact.
However, although they showed strange faces, no one spoke. Gu Xiaowan was walking among the crowd. Zhang Daqiang took her to the innermost house, knocked on the door, and then shouted inside :"village head……"
Someone soon opened the door. It was a child of eight or nine years old. When Gu Xiaowan saw the child, her eyes suddenly lit up.
The child has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, and fair complexion. He is a pink child. However, there is a slight alienation and indifference in his eyes. It seems that this child is a bit difficult to get along with.
When Niuniu saw the child, she shouted sweetly: "Brother Aya..."
The child named Aya nodded slightly, without any expression on his face. He just said a faint "hmm" and then asked Zhang Daqiang: "What do you want?"
"Is the village chief at home?" Zhang Daqiang looked respectful to a child. It seemed that the village chief was very prestigious here.
"Yes!" Aya said softly, his tone indifferent as if he was completely unwilling to ask why someone came to the village chief.
Then he looked at Gu Xiaowan behind Zhang Daqiang, with doubts in his eyes.
Zhang Daqiang said: "Please tell the village chief that someone is looking for Mr. Gui."
Niu Niu pointed at Gu Xiaowan behind her and said in a sweet voice: "Brother Aya, this is the sister who wants to see Gui Lao."
Aya glanced at Gu Xiaowan, who also looked down at him. I always feel that this child's eyes are surprisingly beautiful, like a doll in a New Year painting.
Seeing that the person had arrived, Zhang Daqiang took Niu Niu and left.
After Aya glanced at Gu Xiaowan, without saying a word or saying hello, she went in again and gently closed the door.
Gu Xiaowan waited for a while and saw the child opening the door again, saying in a calm tone: "Go in!"
Gu Xiaowan went in, crossed the yard, and saw an old man sitting in the main hall. Gu Xiaowan felt that he was familiar, and suddenly thought that she had met this old man before when she bought chickens and rabbits.
And the old man asked where he was from. The inquiry in his eyes at that time, when he asked himself if he was really from the Qing Dynasty, such doubts and even inquiry made it difficult for Gu Xiaowan to answer.
It turns out that this is the village chief.
Gu Xiaowan hurriedly came forward to meet her respectfully. Before she could speak, the old man said in a rough voice: "Girl, I didn't expect that we would meet again!"
"Indeed, I didn't expect that I would come here again." Gu Xiaowan also smiled.
The two of them didn't even need to say hello, they were both people with memories, and after just one glance, they already knew they had met.
The old man looked at Gu Xiaowan with a pair of old but sharp eyes, and after a long time he asked, "Girl, what are you talking about?"
"I have a friend who is seriously ill. I heard that the ghost elder can raise the flesh and bones of the dead, so he came here to invite the ghost elder. I don't know where the ghost elder is, and I asked the village chief to introduce him to him."
Gui Lao looked at Gu Xiaowan as if he were a familiar person: "No one has known Gui Lao's name for a long time. I didn't expect that there are still people who know it."
"Could it be that the village chief is..." Gu Xiaowan said in surprise after hearing this.
The old village chief nodded: "Yes, I am Mr. Gui."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaowan said excitedly: "I have a friend who is seriously ill, and I hope Mr. Gui can help me. Xiaowan is very grateful. If Mr. Gui has any request, Xiaowan will do whatever it takes to do it, and I will do whatever it takes!"
The old ghost nodded, his voice filled with hoarse vicissitudes of life: "If you had said it yourself, I would definitely go!"
Gu Xiaowan didn't expect Mr. Gui to agree so easily. She didn't know how to continue talking for a moment. Mr. Gui said with a smile: "It's just that I also have a condition!"
Gu Xiaowan hurriedly said: "You said..."
"This is Regret Mountain. Since the girl can arrive here safely, it means that she is a destined person. Why don't you stay here for a day and see the scenery of Regret Mountain? I will follow you to the capital the day after tomorrow. What do you think about saving people?" Ghost Lao said.
Gu Xiaowan didn't expect that he would make this request, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.
He continued: "I heard that there are many venomous snakes and beasts in Regret Mountain, and there is also thick fog and miasma. Others say this mountain is the mountain of death!"
"That's just the world's misunderstanding of Regret Mountain. We have lived here for so many years, but we have never seen those venomous snakes and beasts. Looking at you, girl, you came in safely, haven't you seen them before?" Ghost Lao smiled and stroked his beard and said.
For some reason, Gu Xiaowan looked at this old man and felt more and more friendly.
"Okay, since Mr. Gui is confident that he can cure my friend, I will stay here for one day. Take a good look at the scenery of Regret Mountain!" Gu Xiaowan also said boldly.
