Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Mysterious Old Woman

Tianhong and I walked briskly to the front, and looked in the direction that Yu Bing pointed, and there was indeed a crystal clear stream, slowly flowing down the southern slope. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Why don't we go wash our feet and drink some water and rest? The monkey whispered.

Okay, I happened to be tired too. I happily agreed.

And Tianhong, who was standing next to me, had already taken off his shoes and quickly ran to the stream, standing in the clear stream with Yubing, playing happily in the water.

Seeing this, I hurriedly took off my cloth shoes, jumped to the stream, sat on a stone upstream, put my feet in the water, and wantonly felt the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green waters at this moment.

The refreshing coolness of the stream reached the heart, gradually driving away the fatigue brought by the journey. In the clear water, there are a few small fish still playing happily.

It all made our little ones so happy.

Hey, you see, there's an old woman staring at us. The sharp-eyed monkey alertly reminds us.

The three of them followed the prestige, and there was indeed an old woman about fifty years old, squatting not far from the upper reaches of the stream, looking at us motionlessly.

What is that old woman doing, why is she looking at us? I asked, puzzled

I don't know, ignore her, let's get our shoes on, don't provoke these strangers. Yu Bing whispered to us.

It's just an old woman, there's nothing to be afraid of. Tianhong retorted with a disdainful expression.

In this place of Xiangxi, you'd better not be reckless, there are countless people who are better than you, you can hide, don't take the initiative to provoke right and wrong, not to mention that we still have a task to do. I took the right speech to remind Tianhong.

Tianhong is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he only obeys what he says.

When he saw me say this, he couldn't help but be vigilant.

Okay, then we're in our shoes and let's go.

However, as we dried our feet and sat on the side of the road to put on our shoes. The old woman actually got up and walked towards us unhurriedly, the sun shining directly on her back, reflecting her front and dark face, and the wrinkles on her face made it look strange.

Yiyang, what should I do, the old woman came over. The monkey lowered his voice and asked me in a low voice.

Ignore her, we'll put on our shoes and go. I whisper to everyone.

Seeing this, the three of them nodded at me, quickly put on their shoes, and walked quickly on the road.

Wait, little brothers, where are you going, you are in such a hurry. The old woman's voice came from behind her, sharp and a little vicissitudes, which suddenly frightened the scalps of the four of us.

Mother-in-law, did you call us for something? I turned around and asked calmly.

Oh, it's okay, I just saw that you were having a good time by the river, and I wanted to play with you, but I didn't think that you would see me like a ghost, am I scary? The old woman asked with a smirk.

It's not scary, it's just that we have to rush to our relatives' houses, so the time is more urgent, I'm sorry mother-in-law, let's go first. Yu Bing tactfully retorted to the old woman and pulled the three of us on.

Wait, which relative's house are you going to? Do you want me to lead the way? I'm familiar with this place! The old woman continued to ask questions unrelentingly.

No, it's in the village in front of you, and you'll be there in a while. Yu Bing pointed to the grove in front of him as he spoke, trying to get rid of the old woman's entanglement.

Hehe, you little babies, it turns out that you are going to visit ghost relatives, hehehe. The old woman laughed dryly, and kept looking at the four of us with a thief's eye.

How did you talk, you went to visit the ghost relatives? The monkey yelled angrily at the old woman, in fact, it is no wonder that he, in this case, if anyone is replaced, it is estimated that there will be fire, let alone the impatient monkey.

Yes, we respect you for your old age and don't care about you, but you don't rely on the old and sell the old, and we are not easy to bully. I also began to pretend to be loud admonishing this eccentric old woman.

Who has the time to bully you little babies, hehe, just now this little sister said to visit relatives in the woods in front, if my wife is not mistaken, the woods in front are famous mass graves nearby.

And about ten miles around here, only my wife lives here alone, where is there any village, you say that you visit relatives, you are clearly lying to me. The old woman pointed to Yu Bing as she spoke.

Seeing that her little trick was exposed by the old woman on the spot, Yu Bing couldn't help but stick out her tongue mischievously, and said softly: "Mother-in-law is an understanding person, she should know that we are on the way, please don't embarrass us."

Where is there any embarrassment for you, just looking at you children walking in this countryside and wilderness, I can't help but be a little curious, so I came forward to ask, don't think too much, my wife is not a bad person. The old woman smiled lightly as she spoke, but her wrinkled face and yellow front teeth made her smile very scary.

There are no villages in the vicinity for more than ten miles? You're not lying to us, we're going to Lao Siyan in Red Stone Forest Town, how long will it take? The monkey is really a typical example of a well-developed limb and a simple mind, and in just a few words, our old bottom is brought out.

Monkey, don't talk too much. Tianhong interrupted the monkey at the right time, lest he say that he would reveal more information, after all, this old woman of unknown origin is indeed a bit eccentric.

When the old woman heard this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she said mysteriously: "To Lao Siyan, it will take a day, according to your current stop-and-go situation, it is estimated that it will not be until the middle of the night to get to Lao Siyan, and there is no trace on this road, I heard that there are still many bandits left behind in Oolong Mountain on the road, aren't you afraid?"

Nonsense, in this peaceful and prosperous world, where there are any strongmen who stand in the way, most of them are deliberately scaring us. I naively retorted to the old woman.

Believe it or not, it's noon, you've walked for so long, I'm sure you're hungry, if you don't dislike it, go to my house and sit down, right?

Alas, for many years, I have been living alone in this deserted mountain, and it would be nice to have someone to talk to. The old woman began to sigh with emotion, and she probably said it from the bottom of her heart.

The four of us looked at each other, and felt that the old woman's last words did not seem like a lie, and we were indeed hungry after walking all morning.

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