Finally, I calmly said to the old woman, "Mother-in-law, where do you live?"

Not far away, just behind the small hill in front, about two or three miles away, you can come with me. After www.biquge.info the old woman finished speaking, she walked forward quickly, without any feeling of being in her old age.

Originally, the four of us were still a little hesitant, but the gurgling stomach no longer allowed us to delay any longer, so the four of us followed the old woman's footsteps and walked towards the small mountain village in front.

After about ten minutes of walking, at the foot of the mountain in front of me, there is a lonely thatched hut standing beside the path of sheep's intestines.

The house is not big, but it has a very quaint taste, and on the side of the house, there is a small pond, and the water is very clear.

There are many bamboos growing on both sides of the hut, and the whole environment gives people a sense of tranquility and elegance. If it's not in the middle of nowhere, it's definitely a good place to live

Well, here it is. The old woman stood firmly in front of the hut, pointed to the hut, and motioned for us to enter.

Mother-in-law, you live here, huh? I feel that the environment is great, but there are a few fewer people. I couldn't help but admire this situation.

Yes, alas, when I used to fight, my man went to the battlefield and never came back, and now it's been decades, and I've always been alone, maybe it's all fate. The old woman sighed again.

Mother-in-law, don't be too sad, you see that you live in such a good place, there are mountains and rivers, lush forests and bamboos, and now the outside world is too noisy, you are outstanding people in this place, but it is difficult to find lanterns. Yu Bing comforted the old woman at the right time.

Thank you, little girl, come, let's go into the yard. The old woman saw that we did not go inside, so she took the lead and walked into the courtyard.

I saw the old woman go in first, I expected that in broad daylight, she should not play any tricks, and just now I was infected by her tragic life experience, and I couldn't help but start to feel good for her in my heart, and under this subtle feeling trend, I couldn't help but follow the old woman's footsteps to go inside,.

Tianhong, Monkey and Yu Bing saw that I followed the old woman into the courtyard without hesitation, and the three of them followed in without saying a word.

The furnishings in the yard are actually very simple, just an ancient well, there are two big locust trees planted not far from the well, and there are four little goats tied to the tree, as well as a fatter old goat.

Mother-in-law, do you still have goats? Yu Bing asked with a light smile.

Yes, it's too lonely to live alone in the mountains, and I have a few goats in captivity, and I can usually accompany me to relieve my boredom, and when I am bored, I can listen to the goats bleating, which can add a little vitality to the quiet mountain village life. The old woman said calmly.

But how do these sheep feel weird, it stands to reason that sheep are very docile animals, but now these sheep are so fierce, what's going on? Yu Bing continued to ask puzzled.

When the old woman heard Yu Bing say this, her expression seemed to freeze for a moment, but she immediately regained her previous calmness, and said with a light smile: "Oh, maybe I haven't seen strangers, there are so many people in the courtyard at once, they may be a little frightened, I believe it will be quiet for a while."

After saying this, the old woman went up to the five sheep again, stretched out her hand and patted the eldest of them, as if she was still muttering something, but what she was saying was too quiet, and we did not hear it.

After reading it, the goats suddenly became much more docile.

You see, you are talking in the courtyard, but you have forgotten to invite the four of you little guests into the house to drink some water and eat something. Come on, come in with me. The old woman turned around and said enthusiastically.

The four of us looked at each other and walked into the room puzzled.

The furnishings of the room are relatively old, and there are several pairs of old furniture, tables, and rattan chairs neatly arranged in it.

In the middle of the room, there is no case dedicated to the ancestors like our ordinary people in Xiangxi, which makes people a little puzzled.

In addition, the house is very clean and can even be said to be spotless.

In short, the whole style gives people a traditional and classical atmosphere, which is not at all like the style that an elderly man should have.

Sit down first, and I'll get you some water. The old woman arranged for everyone to sit down in an orderly manner, and then walked alone to the well outside the house to fetch water.

Yiyang, Tianhong, have you noticed anything wrong? Yu Bing waited for the old woman's figure to disappear completely out of sight before lowering her voice and asking in a mysterious tone.

What's wrong? I didn't find it. I replied without a clue.

It's really a bit weird, those sheep, no matter how you look at it, feel wrong, and this old lady always gives people a gloomy feeling, even when she laughs, it feels fake. Tianhong whispered his doubts.

Everyone should be careful, this old woman is a master of Gu cultivation. Yu Bing reminded everyone in a whisper, while looking at the back of the old woman outside the door.

How do you know, where can you tell that she understands Gu? The monkey asked Yu Bing with a look of disbelief.

Her house is very clean, this is the characteristic of Xiangxi Gu people, there is cleanliness, you go to any place in Xiangxi in the future, but if you see that the house is particularly clean and spotless, it must be weird, you have to be careful at this time. Yu Bing continued to advise patiently.

Oh, so will she hurt us? The monkey asked worriedly.

I don't know, but it's very likely that I don't have good intentions, and besides, the sheep outside are by no means ordinary sheep, and I think there are strange things, and she should be careful when she gives us anything to eat. Do you understand?

Well, understood, don't say it, she's coming over. I whispered a word of warning.

Come, let's drink water, sweet mountain spring water. The old woman shouted outside the door.

After a while, the old woman quickly walked into the house, gently put the beaten water in a pot, and then took out five gray porcelain bowls, and filled them with well water in turn.

After pouring the water, and without waiting for us to speak, the old woman grabbed a bowl and drank it with a grunt. Then he glanced at the four of us with a light smile, and the implication was probably this: Drink it, this water is not poisonous.

Seeing that she had already drunk it, the four of them thought that there should be no problem in the water, so they also picked up the bowl and drank it with a gurgling face.

This well water is so sweet, mother-in-law, your well is awesome. The monkey shouted praise.

Hey, if you like it. I'll have something even better to entertain you later. The old woman smiled and glanced at the four of us with her cloudy old eyes.
