Taboo Master

Chapter 268 Mo Xiaobai Goes Home

On the way, Mo Xiaobai called his home and asked about Zhong Kuigu.

Mo Xiaobai told us that there are three uncles in his family. His father was originally the eldest, but mysteriously disappeared a few years ago, and there is no news of him until now. As a result, his grandfather has been bedridden with serious illness for these years.And his second uncle was born dumb and had no status in the family. He had been living alone in the ancestral hall, cleaning the courtyard, and was an idler.

Therefore, his family is now headed by the third uncle. There are many people in their family, but most of them are offshoots. His father should take over as the patriarch to manage the family affairs, but his father disappeared early and his second uncle was dumb, so the current position of patriarch fell on his third uncle.

Mo Xiaobai was calling his third uncle on this phone call. I thought he was going to ask his mother, but Mo Xiaobai said that since his father disappeared, his mother returned to her natal family in a few years and had very little contact. , he has always grown up with his third uncle.

However, on the phone, Mo Xiaobai did not directly ask questions about Zhong Kuigu, but chatted with his third uncle about the daily routine, asking this uncle, and that cousin, even The third uncle's mother-in-law's natal dog was asked, and almost everyone in the family was asked. Finally, after a long detour, he asked about his second uncle slowly.

We don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but after Mo Xiaobai nodded to the phone for a while, he hung up the phone, raised his head and said to us, it's over, something happened at home, his second uncle is a month old I was attacked one night, and I haven't been discharged from the hospital yet.

Shao Peiyi blurted out: "That must have been the day when Zhong Kui's bones were taken away. Why didn't your family tell you?"

Mo Xiaobai glanced at him and said, "You are stupid, this Zhong Kui bone has been at the old lady's house for more than a year, and my second uncle was attacked for more than a month, how could it be the same thing."

Shao Pei let out an "ah" and said embarrassingly, "I really forgot about this..."

I thought about it, and asked Mo Xiaobai: "Then why didn't you mention Zhong Kui's bone? After asking so many people, you didn't say a single serious word."

Mo Xiaobai sniffed and said, "I have a lot of eyes. Think about it. It's been nearly a year since I came out, and Zhong Kui's bones have been lost for more than a year, but I don't know anything about it. What does this mean? It means we My family has known about this for a long time, so I asked one by one. I just wanted to know what everyone in the family was like and what happened during the year I was away, so that we can judge whether there is something wrong with our family. The ghost, you only asked my second uncle last, it was to lower my third uncle's vigilance, lest he suspect anything."

Mo Xiaobai smiled smugly. Shao Pei and I looked at each other and were a little surprised. After so long, I really didn't realize that Mo Xiaobai, a muddleheaded person, still has this cleverness. However, he and Does my third uncle need to go around in circles when talking about it?

Seeing that we were surprised, Mo Xiaobai explained: "You don't know the situation of my family. Don't think that I am the eldest grandson of my grandfather, but my third uncle is in charge of the family. He has never liked me. I know that he wants to let him My son, that is, my cousin, inherits the family business. In fact, I don't care, but he is always on guard against me and doesn't tell me anything, so I deliberately made a big circle just now, and I My second uncle is actually the best, but on the surface I have been estranged from him, and this is the reason why I asked him last."

Shao Peiyi and I once again showed surprise expressions, who said Mo Xiaobai is short-hearted?This kid is not stupid at all, he is confused on the outside, but he understands better than anyone else in his heart.

Shao Pei nodded and said, "I understand. In fact, your real purpose is to ask your second uncle, because your second uncle guards the ancestral hall, but you are afraid that asking directly will arouse your third uncle's suspicion, so you beat around the bush, okay. Xiaobai, you are smart enough."

Mo Xiaobai smiled: "It's nothing, my mother told me quietly when she left, otherwise, how would I know..."

I fell silent. It seems that the situation in Mo Xiaobai's house is quite complicated, but what does the phone call he made just now explain?

Before I could ask, Mo Xiaobai had already sighed and said, "This time, the backyard is really on fire. You don't know that although my second uncle can't speak, his ability is definitely ranked among our generation. The first few were able to sneak attack and wound him, and he has been lying in the hospital for a month, which shows that his injury must not be serious, and at the same time indirectly shows that the person who attacked him must be very powerful."

Mo Xiaobai also said that his second uncle has been living in the ancestral hall and has not walked in the rivers and lakes for decades. It is basically impossible to say that he has any enemies. The only explanation is that the other party is against the Zhong family. From the shrine.

But in Zhong's ancestral hall, apart from the ancestral tablet, there are no other valuable things or treasures. If there is, only the Zhong Kui bone is special.But precisely because this is the bone of Zhong Kui's body back then, although it has all kinds of efficacies, the Zhong clan never dared to touch the bone of Zhong Kui. Let me ask, who would dare to use the head of the ancestor to go around and make fun of it?
Then, after such an analysis, we can roughly draw the conclusion that someone coveted Zhong Kui's bone and wanted to snatch it forcibly, but it is a pity that Zhong Kui's bone is no longer in Zhong's ancestral hall, but is hidden in a family in Pingshan City thousands of miles away. The person who secretly wanted to snatch Zhong Kui's bone was of course in vain.

The more Mo Xiaobai talked, the more flustered he became. Finally, when the car was halfway through, he was anxious to get out of the car, saying that he wanted to rush home immediately, and he didn't care about others, but his second uncle was injured, and it was because of Zhong Kui's bone that As the grandson of Zhong's parents, he must go back immediately.

Shao Peiyi and I couldn't persuade him, thinking it was a really important matter, so we had no choice but to agree to him, but I asked him to be careful everywhere, to protect himself first, and then Go think about other things, and it's best to go back quietly without making a fuss, get in touch with his second uncle first, and find out the situation before talking.

Mo Xiaobai memorized our words one by one, got out of the car on the way, and transferred back to his hometown. His hometown is farther than Yang Chen's house. It takes about ten hours to go back from here.

The two of us watched Mo Xiaobai's figure gradually disappear into the crowd under the car. For some reason, a doubt crept into our hearts.

Since Mo Xiaobai's hometown is so far away, why did he go to Pingshan City so well?

I glanced at Shao Peiyi, and he just turned his head. From his eyes, I also seemed to see a trace of doubt, and from the analysis and reasoning ability that Mo Xiaobai showed just now, it was completely different from his usual silly appearance It's like two different people.

Could it be that this Mo Xiaobai is actually someone who hides his secrets?
Shao Pei patted me on the shoulder with a smile and said, "This kid has a good nature, so don't think too much about it."

I understand what he means, yes, all of us are burdened with family secrets and missions, even if we sometimes hide something in front of others, it is a helpless act, I believe, Mo Xiaobai will never He is a scheming person, because human nature cannot be concealed.

At this moment, I can only pray silently, hoping that after Xiaobai returns home, everything will go well and find out the truth behind everything.

……

Unfortunately, our train encountered landslides on the way, and we were delayed on the road for several hours. The train finally arrived at Pingshan City until the early hours of the night. Shao Peiyi and I got off the train in a hurry. Back to the apartment.

Among the two things we have to do now, Zhong Kuigu will be handed over to Mo Xiaobai.But the reincarnation mirror requires Shao Peiyi to come forward. Although I don't know the real use of that thing yet, since someone has already started snatching it, it must be a very important thing. It is better to protect it early than after something happens. It's better to make up for it.

We wanted to find Nangong Feiyan directly and discuss a solution together, but Nangong Feiyan wasn't there, and we don't know what we were doing in the middle of the night.So we had no choice but to rest for the night, and the next day we split into two groups. He went to the school to find Nangong Feiyan, and I went to the Samsara Pavilion to find Mr. Situ, because I have a lot of questions in my stomach and I want to ask him to clarify.

Shao Peiyi left alone, and I got in the car and went straight to the Samsara Pavilion. When I got there, the business was still closed, so I walked around to the back door and knocked on the door. It took a long time for someone to come out, but it was the boy. After asking, I found out that Mr. Situ had gone out again, and he didn't know when he asked, when he left, when he came back, and he didn't even know what he was doing.

I knew in my heart that I didn't want to say it, but I couldn't help it, so I had to turn around and leave, and I went out to think about it but there was nowhere to go, so I might as well go to school to see it.

It's strange to say that it hasn't been long since we separated from Nangong Feiyan, but ever since I came back, I've always been a little uneasy and uneasy, and I always feel like something big is about to happen, but I don't have Xin Ya's. This kind of foreseeing ability, I don't know what happened.

Thinking of Xinya, I felt a special feeling in my heart. I haven't seen her for a long time since I accidentally saw her on the night of the full moon last time. This time, it's time to go back and see her. By the way , and asked her something.

However, when I rushed to the school gate full of thoughts, there was a tall girl standing on the side of the road outside the gate. She was wearing a red dress and a white scarf. Under the sun, it looks so lonely. Looking at it from a distance, people can't help but feel love and affection.

I got out of the car, glanced over, and my heart skipped a beat, because this girl was actually Xin Ya, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

At the same time, she had already seen me. We were more than ten meters apart, staring blankly at each other. There seemed to be a thousand words in our eyes, but at this moment it turned into a speechless gaze.

I finally regained my composure, and was about to say something, but she walked over quickly, and said to me in a somewhat anxious voice: "Listen to me, get out of here immediately, and don't come back..."
