Chapter 168 Xiangu Temple (5)
The dark coins in the brazier were swept up into the sky by the 'yin' wind, and Ma Chengfeng took off his coat and put it on Chu Xiangyun. This girl loves to cry all day, and she has been crying all afternoon, and her tears have dried up.
Ma Chengfeng lit a small cigarette and said, "Sister Xiangyun? As for it? It's not your own father and mother? Almost. ”
"You don't understand, my mother said that the Zhao family treated her like a 'daughter' back then, she came from the city, and the second elder was afraid that she would not be used to eating coarse grain in the countryside, so he actually killed the only old 'hen' in his family that laid eggs for her to eat." When she said this, Ma Chengfeng felt a little uncomfortable, and his eyes were trembling, feeling the simplicity and kindness of the people in the mountains. In addition, Chu Xiangyun, a delicate Jiangnan 'girl' child, should also be impressed, I used to think that she was a weak lady, but now it seems that she is affectionate and righteous.
When encountering a crying 'girl' child, almost no man could parry, Chu Xiangyun became more and more sad the more he cried, and finally threw a handful of snot into Ma Chengfeng's arms with tears. Happiness came too suddenly...... Ma Chengfeng swallowed his saliva, only to feel that his little heart was beating 'chaotically'. Seriously, Chu Xiangyun is more 'female' than Chang Xiaoman, more gentle, and more likable to men.
In the depths of love, Ma Chengfeng's hand was still slowly on her back. Suddenly, Chu Xiangyun pushed him away with one hand.
"Sister Xiangyun...... Right...... I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to! Ma Chengfeng's face was as red as a monkey's buttocks.
"Cheng Feng, look...... Look at ......" Chu Xiangyun didn't blame him for taking advantage of the opportunity, and pointed to the paper lantern in the mourning hall and trembled.
I saw that the light in the mourning hall turned green at some point, and the flames in the lanterns were very short, beating with the wind from time to time, and the flames turned green.
Xiangyun was originally a timid girl, and when she saw this scene, she immediately hugged Ma Chengfeng in fright.
A 'yin' wind blew along the necks of the two of them, and the two of them shivered. As the saying goes, people light lamps and ghosts blow out candles, as long as the candles are not extinguished, they are fine. Although Ma Chengfeng had experienced a series of strange encounters, the faint green flames in front of him still made him tremble in his heart.
"Sister Xiangyun, don't be afraid, you let go of me, and I'll go change a candle." Ma Chengfeng patted her and comforted her.
Under the candlelight, the faces of the two people were green, and the frightened Chu Xiangyun covered his eyes.
Ma Chengfeng took out the candle again and walked between the two coffins, deliberately looking down at the two corpses. Because the death of the second elder of the Zhao family was terrifying, his son deliberately covered the second elder's face with a quilt. Ma Chengfeng thought to himself, this shouldn't be a precursor to the corpse, right? He secretly lifted the quilt from the corpse and took a look......
Zhao Aiguo's eyes were still round, and he didn't bat at him, but fortunately, the corpse was stiff and cold, and it didn't look like he was trying to cheat the corpse.
He let out a sigh of relief, quickly blew out the candle in the lantern and replaced it. The mourning booth was lit by dim candlelight again, and everything was back to normal.
"Cheng Feng, just now...... What was going on...... Could it be the second elder...... Coming back? Chu Xiangyun asked.
"My stupid senior sister, even if there is really a soul return, that soul night is the first seven after death, don't worry, it's okay, there is me."
Chu Xiangyun's hand was tightly clasped with Ma Chengfeng's ten fingers, and the chill on his face weakened, but there was a touch of redness.
Ma Chengfeng said, in fact, there is nothing scary about the wake, the old people like to listen to relatives and friends chatting after leaving, let's talk more and talk for a while before dawn. However, at night, you have to guard against the wild beasts in the mountains, and don't let the animals get close to the carcasses.
"Huh? Isn't it going to cheat the corpse? She asked.
"Haha...... Tease you! Ma Chengfeng didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and finally this "Sister Lin" stopped crying. "Since you're so scared, don't guard it tomorrow."
"That's not good, you have to be a man to be grateful, since you are here to catch up, I have to send the second elder of the Zhao family on the last journey. Originally, there should be filial sons and virtuous grandsons in this matter, and filial sons are there, but virtuous grandsons ......" Chu Xiangyun looked back at the 'door', but this time he turned around and found that Dabao was gone, and there was still a small mud pit at the 'door'.
The children in the mountains are all wild, and they don't know where to go crazy, so they don't care.
The two chatted enthusiastically and emboldened each other, until around twelve o'clock in the second half of the night, Chu Xiangyun finally couldn't stay up and fell asleep on Ma Chengfeng's 'legs'.
Ma Chengfeng was afraid that she would panic, so he hurriedly and carefully wanted to take off her glasses. As soon as I reached out, I suddenly heard a creaking sound from behind, as if someone had pushed the 'door' out.
He looked back, the Zhao family's house was dark, there was no one, and the 'door' seemed to have just been blown open by the mountain wind.
The surroundings are so quiet, the silence is terrible, even the dogs in the tunzi seem to have reached a tacit understanding with each other, and they haven't barked for a long time.
"Cheng Feng, what's the sound?" Chu Xiangyun asked in a daze with sleepy eyes, 'confused', 'confused'.
"It's nothing, you sleep, I'll watch it for you." Ma Chengfeng comforted her.
Wow...... Wow...... There are two brass bells hanging from the mourning hall that shake from time to time. At this time, Ma Chengfeng noticed that a small black shadow in the Zhao family's old house slowly walked out, and he opened his ghost pupils to take a closer look, and it turned out to be Dabao.
Dabao closed his eyes, swayed his body and walked out of the courtyard with strange steps. In the moonlight, the child's shadow was very faint.
Another 'yin' wind blew, and the courtyard was filled with that faint fishy smell again, which was the smell of Huang Xiangu in the ancient painting.
Strange, where is this kid going if he doesn't sleep in the middle of the night? Judging by the direction he was going, he was heading towards the ridge. There are many taboos in Lingzi, and Ma Ya told them not to enter Lingzi after nightfall. There are not only lonely souls and wild ghosts and yellow immortals in the mountains, but the most terrifying ones are the human bears in the Xing'an Mountains. That man-bear is not an ordinary black blind man, the man-bear is infinitely powerful, and even a tree more than a person thick can be uprooted, and what is even worse is that this monster is not only sturdy, but also has thick skin, and ordinary shotguns simply can't penetrate it. If you do, you will never survive.
Ma Chengfeng was afraid that something would happen to Dabao, so he had the heart to follow up to see it, but he was worried that he would leave Chu Xiangyun in the spirit shed.
"Cheng Feng? You see...... What is that? Just at this time, Chu Xiangyun squinted his eyes and saw Zhao Dabao's back.
"Let's go and see, if the child has a Zhao family with three long and two short, the family will be ruined." Ma Chengfeng stood up and took the lantern down from the mourning hall and handed it to Chu Xiangyun. This lantern is for Xiangyun to embolden.
The two of them followed quietly on tiptoe, Zhao Dabao was a child in the end, how fast the child could walk, and he was vaguely seen in front of him in a few steps.
"Cheng Feng, do you think that he is ...... Why is his aisle posture so weird? Chu Xiangyun was timid, and followed behind Ma Chengfeng, holding a lantern in one hand to illuminate it, and holding Cheng Feng's arm with the other.
