Chapter Thirteen: What I'm Looking For

"How can a dead person speak?" Nan Feng was shocked.

The blind man waved his hand and said, "Go back."

Nanfeng grinned, picked up the wooden stick and handed it to the blind man. He held the blind man with his left hand and moved forward with the mourning stick in his right hand.

"Master, if this thing is seen, we will get into trouble." Nan Feng was worried.

The blind man behind him did not respond.

Nanfeng said again, "Master, everyone is dead, and there is only one head left. How can you speak?"

The blind man still didn't answer the conversation.

They walked faster than when they came back. Not long after, they arrived at the puddle that Nanfeng had fallen into before. "Master, there is a puddle in front of them, turning around."

The blind man not only did not kidnap, but instead pulled back his wooden stick and stopped, "I want to do something, you go ahead and wait for me."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid." Nanfeng didn't leave, and after a midnight, he went to the cemetery and looked for a man. He finally opened his eyes and definitely didn't want to leave.

After pondering, the blind man said, "You should not know some things. It's not that I'm willing to hide them from you, but that you know it will not be good for you."

"Oh." Nanfeng nodded and walked a distance south.

"Let's go." The blind man waved the wooden stick in his hand.

Nanfeng had no choice but to walk ten more steps.

The blind man inserted the wooden stick into the ground, turned his right hand around the void, and pressed it down. As his right hand moved, the water in the puddle overflowed a lot. The blind man handed the head of the left hand to his right hand and put the head into the puddle with his right hand.

The blind man seemed to have pressed an invisible air mass into the puddle, and his head was very stable above the air mass and did not shake.

The blind man's movements could be seen at the location of Nanfeng. At this time, the blind man was walking a strange step around the puddle, but he could not hear what the blind man said, and could only vaguely hear the blind man chanting, probably chanting scriptures.

After three rounds, the blind man stopped. The last sentence was louder. Nanfeng heard it clearly. The blind man said, "Empty as the law!"

Nanfeng was very curious and eager to know if the head had come alive as the blind man said, so he moved two steps north. At this moment, a man's shrill scream came from the puddle, "Ah..."

Without any mental preparation, Nanfeng was frightened by the scream and his hair stood up and jumped back quickly.

"Don't panic." The blind man leaned forward with his right hand.

After the blind man finished speaking, the head stopped screaming and said something quickly. These words were still loud. Nan Feng heard it roughly and seemed to be asking who the blind man was and where he was now.

The blind man's answer was very small, and Nanfeng could not hear it at all. The sound of the head was a little louder. Nanfeng could occasionally hear a few words, as if he was crying for injustice.

To be precise, this person didn't seem to know a blind man during his lifetime, and he was wronged and did not kill people and violate the law of the king.

The blind man asked something and couldn't hear it, but according to the head's reply, he could hear some clues. This person should have been the owner of an inn before his lifetime. Later, a mysterious guest came to the store. The guest died bizarrely in the inn that night. The government decided that they committed the murder. The family of four, no one left, was cut off.

The shop owner is also very unlucky. Others are imprisoned in prison first after breaking the law. After the autumn is inquired, if you have money, you can spend money to clear it while you are dead. However, he has a bad time for the crime. If something happens today, he will be arrested tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, he will die very quickly.

While asking questions, the blind man would occasionally make the previous move of pressing down his arms, as if he was replenishing the air mass in the water. This was Nanfeng's own guess, but he felt that he was right because he was breathing when he was talking. The unlucky shop owner had only one head left, and he had to cheer him up if he wanted to speak.

The blind man should have asked the person who stayed in the hotel, his death time, his death situation and other questions. According to the head of the hotel, the person who stayed in the hotel was an old man who died that night. I don’t know when he died. It was only the next day that the officers and soldiers came to the door that day that he knew that the old man was dead. The old man brought a bag when he stayed in the hotel, but the bag disappeared after the incident.

The reason why the shop owner felt wronged was that the old man had no external injuries, there were no signs of fighting in the room, and the doors and windows of the room were inserted into it by the old man. Not to mention that the old man was not like a rich man, even if the old man was very rich, he wanted to kill people and make money, and he could not enter the room.

But the government did not listen to his explanation, and even failed to examine the court. The next day, he was chopped down with his wife, children and several other death row prisoners.

The blind man must have asked the old man where his body was, and the shop owner said he had been taken away by the government.

The blind man may have asked the owner about the details of the old man staying in the store. The owner finally remembered that the old man had changed the room on the night of the incident because the room was airtight.

The entire conversation lasted about half a stick of incense. After the owner's voice disappeared, the blind man started chanting scriptures again. He didn't recite for a long time, and only a few sentences were spent. After chanting, he washed his hands from the water hole, and then he grabbed the wooden stick and walked towards the south wind.

When the blind man walked closer, Nanfeng found that the blind man's expression was very calm and there was no particularly obvious emotion.

"Let's go." The blind man handed the wooden stick to Nanfeng.

Nanfeng pulled the blind man south, but he couldn't ask questions even though he was full of doubts. The blind man obviously didn't want him to know, so it was useless to ask.

The blind man seemed to be in a hurry to go back, urging Nanfeng to walk very quickly. After arriving at the main road, Nanfeng threw away the mourning stick. It was unlucky to hold this thing.

Halfway through the place where Fatty and others were sleeping in the open, Nanfeng originally planned to take the opportunity to say a few more words to the Fatty, but found that Fatty and others had already gone to bed.

Back outside the city, the blind man jumped over the city wall with Nanfeng as usual. This time, Nanfeng was mentally prepared and found that as long as he was not afraid, the feeling of flying clouds and fog was still very good.

"Do you know where Fuyun Inn is?" asked the blind man.

"I don't know." Nanfeng shook his head, "Master, our things are still in the original inn."

The blind man raised his hand, "I'll give you the way and go to the east city."

At this time, the third week was almost over. The south wind was sleepy and exhausted, but the blind man wanted to go, so he had to go.

The blind man seemed to have been to that inn before. Nanfeng found the small inn located in the northeast corner of Chang'an City under his guidance. The gate of the inn faces west, and there is a two-story wooden building outside, with a courtyard inside, and the door panel of the inn gate is covered with the seal of the government.

The blind man did not walk through the gate, but went around to the east and jumped past the back wall with the south wind.

It may be a few days since the incident, and the chickens in the chicken coop are still alive, and the black dog tied to the northwest corner of the yard has not starved to death. Seeing the two invading, they screamed weakly.

"Take me to the first wing room in the east wing." said the blind man.

Nanfeng pulled the blind man to the room he said. The blind man pushed the door open and "Waiting for me outside."

Nanfeng nodded and stayed outside.

This yard has died not long ago. If he were to stay here, he would have been scared. However, compared with the gloomy cemetery in the west of the city and the strange conversation of the head, the house that has died is nothing.

Nanfeng sat down from the steps outside the room, and the black dog came over. Seeing that it was hungry and weak, Nanfeng felt compassion, untied the rope that tied it, opened the bolt on the back door and put it away.

After putting the dogs on, he wanted to feed the chickens that were about to starve to death. As soon as he took out the fire twister and wanted to go to the woodshed to find millet, he heard the blind man calling him in the room.

Nanfeng turned around and walked towards the east wing, and saw the blind man squatting in front of the stove on the kang, "Thank you for a while, climb in and see if there is anything hidden inside."

"Ah?" Nan Feng was unhappy. He either followed the blind man to cemetery or climbed up dead bodies. Now he had to drill into the kang.

"If I could do it myself, I would not let you suffer from this filth." The blind man was helpless.

Seeing that the blind man was polite, Nanfeng was embarrassed to refuse, so he took off his robe and drilled into the kang. The stove on the burning kang was larger than the stove on the cooking table, but it was not easy for him to drill in, and he squeezed in.

"Master, what do you mean?" Nan Feng asked, the underside of the kang was covered with grass dust, which was very choking.

Before the blind man could answer, the south wind touched something from the fluffy grass ash. It was a flat and round thing, not very heavy.

"Master, I found a round thing, it seemed like a piece of porcelain." Nan Feng said.

"Come out." The blind man reached out and pulled Nanfeng out, and then groped to take the thing from his hand, and then put it in his arms, "Let's go, leave here as soon as possible."

Nanfeng rubbed the bottom of the pot, carried his robe and ran to the yard to scoop the water from the water tank to rinse it. The blind man groped out and walked out, and brought his backhand to the door.

"Where is the dog?" The blind man noticed that the dog was gone.

"Let it go." Nan Feng said casually.

The blind man frowned suddenly when he heard this, pondered and said to Nanfeng, "Open the chicken coop."

Nanfeng wanted to do that, so he took his robe and pulled the chicken cage open.

The blind man did not take Nanfeng to jump over the wall anymore. The two walked out of the back door. Nanfeng wanted to bring the door with him, but the blind man didn't let him go.

"Master, what was that just now?" Nan Feng pulled the blind man away quickly. The blind man asked him to drill into the kang barrel undoubtedly to keep the room as it was. The purpose was not to let people know that they had been here, but he didn't understand. He had let the dog go before, which destroyed the blind man's plan. The blind man asked him to let the chickens be released, and he did not let him close the back door. The purpose was to create the illusion of recruiting thieves. He didn't care why the blind man did this. He was curious about what he had just found.

The blind man frowned slightly and did not answer immediately.

Nanfeng didn't ask again. The thing just now was the size of a palm, not heavy, unlike gold and silver. That thing might be useful to the blind man, but it was of no use to him. The most important thing now is to ask the blind man what skills he is willing to teach him, which is useful to him.
