Along the way, whenever they met villagers, they would look at the two strangers, Su Mo and Chen Duo, with curiosity, as if they were wondering why there were strangers entering their village.
At this time, Uncle Liu would always give a cheerful explanation, but all he saw was confusion on the faces of the neighbors, and in the end they could only shake their heads helplessly. This was something from the new era for the kids, and it was normal that we didn’t understand it.
Afterwards, Su Mo and his friends encountered a funeral in the village again. After some inquiries, they found out that someone's child had unfortunately died.
"It's such a pity for Gou Wa Zi. His mom just bought him a bright red dress to cheer him up."
Uncle Liu shook his head, looking regretful.
Only Su Mo narrowed his eyes after seeing this scene. He didn't believe that this was such a coincidence.
Just when I said there was a Quan Xing monster here, someone suddenly died, and it was a child.
"Uncle Liu, do you know how Gou Wa'er died?"
"I heard from the villagers that he died of being possessed by an evil spirit." Uncle Liu whispered in Su Mo's ear.
"And recently, many children in the village have had this problem, so the village chief specially invited a Taoist priest named Zhao to exorcise the evil spirits for us."
"What era is this village chief in now?"
Uncle Liu shook his head and turned away.
Wow, Uncle Liu is really an insightful person. I didn't expect that he not only knows about live streaming and internet celebrities, but also knows what era it is now.
However, I still have a certain fear about that kind of thing.
Su Mo was a little surprised, and then he and Chen Duo caught up in time. He really didn't expect to get some information so quickly.
I thought I would stay here for a few days before I could slowly understand it.
But it’s normal if you think about it. A village is not big, and basically every household will know about what happens.
If the Quan Xing demon really wanted to cause some big trouble here, there would definitely be clues.
Now Su Mo knew that the Taoist Zhao invited by the village chief mentioned by Uncle Liu might have problems.
Either he is a Quan Xing monster or he is a fake Taoist priest who is in cahoots with the village chief.
This is Su Detective Mo, who has gained confidence from watching Death Elementary School Students for many years.
"arrive."
Just as Su Mo was deep in thought, Uncle Liu spoke first, then rushed into the room and started yelling.
"Mom, we have guests coming to our house today, please prepare some more dishes."
"Okay, I'll get ready right away."
After receiving the reply, Uncle Liu turned around and said with a smile: "It's getting late today, why don't you all rest here, have a good sleep and leave tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Uncle Liu. Here are the expenses for food and accommodation."
Su Su was not shy and took out three red bills from Chen Duo's trouser pocket and handed them to Uncle Liu.
"No, baby, what are you doing?"
Uncle Liu waved his hands, quickly retreated, and skillfully began the competition with Su Mo.
"Hey, what are you doing, Uncle Liu? This is what you deserve. This is the money we usually spend on accommodation and meals outside."
"Besides, I've already given you less than what you paid. If you don't want this, I'll feel guilty."
"How can a meal cost three hundred? I don't know what kind of heavenly meal you guys are eating." Uncle Liu muttered, "Our annual income is only a little over ten thousand, and a little over twenty thousand if the harvest is good."
"Based on your consumption, we still have to owe a lot of money."
But in the end, he was still no match for Su Mo's enthusiasm. He just muttered to himself that this kid had such great strength in his hands that even he, who had been working all year round, couldn't compare to him.
But it’s okay, as long as you are healthy.
Su Mo on the side was also sighing, saying that if it weren't for his Qi, he really wouldn't be able to give away the three hundred yuan.
Afterwards, Uncle Liu brought three benches to the yard and asked Su Mo and the other man to sit down first, while he strolled in the yard holding a doll in bright red clothes.
When he saw the child, his old face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum from smiling.
"You can eat it soon, don't worry, kids."
"Not in a hurry."
Su Mo replied softly, but his eyes were fixed on the child in Uncle Liu's arms.
During a previous chat, he knew that this child was Uncle Liu's child, and whenever he talked about his own child, his face was filled with pride.
"By the way, Uncle Liu, do you know where that Taoist Zhao lives?"
"The Taoist priest lives in the village chief's house. He said he would perform a ritual today. It's strange, but every time I see the Taoist priest I feel a little scared." Uncle Liu asked curiously, but he still answered honestly.
"But why are you asking this?"
"Nothing, I just haven't seen a Taoist priest since I was a child, so I'm very curious."
Su Mo replied with a smile: "I also want to go and see how these Taoist priests perform their rituals."
"Hey, kids, I know you are from the city and are very curious about these things. When I went to the city to work, I saw a lot of you kids."
"But uncle still wants to tell you that it is better to believe it than not to believe it. What can be avoided should be avoided. So when the Taoist priest told me that wearing red clothes can ward off evil spirits, I still put them on my child."
Uncle Liu taught earnestly: "So if you can avoid these things, then don't get involved."
"Okay, I understand Uncle Liu."
Su Mo rubbed Chen Duo's little nipple, who had remained silent, and said with a smile.
"I was just joking. I'm a very timid person, unless I have enough firepower!"
"That's good!"
Uncle Liu was extremely pleased and prepared to take his children to see how the food was prepared.
"By the way, Uncle Liu, what's the full name of Taoist Zhao?"
"Zhao, Zhao, Zhao Gui, what? I heard he's a Taoist priest from Maoshan."
Chapter 13 Pokémon Master: Su Mo
Night falls.
Su Mo, who was sleeping on his side in Uncle Liu's house, suddenly opened his eyes, and his black pupils were surging with excitement.
Today, after chatting with Uncle Liu, we had dinner not long after. Although it seemed like a hodgepodge, it tasted surprisingly good.
It was several times more delicious than the one in Nadutong Canteen. However, Chen Duo did not eat, but just held up her phone and pretended to take pictures.
It just so happened that she couldn't eat with Uncle Liu and the others. After all, the chopsticks would be stained with saliva, which could prevent her from being infected by the poison.
Uncle Liu's wife was extremely puzzled.
For this reason, Su Mo specifically explained it again and just said to leave some food for Chen Duo.
However, Uncle Liu and his family were extremely simple-minded. They left most of the leftovers for Chen Duo to eat, saying that if they couldn't finish them, they would save them for tomorrow.
But this almost made Su Mo anxious. This was damn inedible, so he took out another hundred yuan and wanted to buy the leftovers.
This time he was unable to get what he wanted. When Uncle Liu saw that Chen Duo couldn’t eat any more, he helped pack up the food.
After dinner, Su Mo went out for a stroll with Uncle Liu and also visited the village chief's house.
He just took a look from a distance, then moved to another place to wander around again. It was not until it got dark that he returned home with Uncle Liu.
Su Mo sat on the bed and looked out the window.
"Chen Duo, what do you think we should do now?"
"Kill that Taoist Priest Zhao!" Chen Duo said this without blinking.
"What if they have many accomplices?"
"Kill them together!"
"Aren't you afraid that I might make a mistake in judgment and kill the wrong person?"
Chen Duo shook her head. Under the moonlight, her green eyes were as dazzling as stars, sparkling at this moment.
"Didn't we agree that if I trust you unconditionally, you will let me go free?"
Su Mo was stunned.
He couldn't help but feel a warm current welling up in his heart at these serious remarks.
Why is this silly goose so inexplicably cute?
Then he laughed softly and said, "Yes, it is like this. I will give you freedom and let you become an eagle flying freely in the sky."
Su Mo stopped playing tricks and explained seriously.
"Master Zhao, formerly known as Zhao Guizhen, is a member of the Shangqing sect of Mount Mao. After learning some talisman techniques, he resolutely embraced the evil path due to the evil in his heart. Now he is learning the [Seven Evils Gathering Body] of Mount Mao!"
"Ow!"
Chen Duo nodded without asking any more questions.
Su Mo knew that Chen Duo would behave like this, so he explained it to Chen Duo.
Su Mo had already suspected it when Uncle Liu mentioned this name. It was not until he actually went to the village chief's house and discovered this Taoist priest with sheep ribs that he was really confirmed.
Everything that happened in the village could be explained. [Seven Evils] just needed to kill seven children in red clothes.
Only Su Mo was not sure whether he had any accomplices.
This is the most powerful golden finger of the time traveler. It is foresight and he can know the situation just by hearing a name or looking at a face.
If you haven't seen it, it would be terrible. You will have to stay here for at least a few days, and you might even be deceived by this Taoist Master Zhao.
Ding dong.
A message came from the phone in Su Mo's hand. He took a look and frowned.
[Liao Zhong: Those pedantic Taoist priests from Shangqing are already heading in your direction. Zhao Guizhen has no choice but to arrest them, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to them. You can do whatever you want with the rest.]
"It's pedantic. Too pedantic."
Su Mo shook his head. This was the message he sent to Liao Zhong using Chen Duo's phone as soon as he discovered Zhao Guizhen's identity.
Liao Zhong’s initial reply was that the mission was completed and he could leave, leaving the matter to Maoshan’s own people.
