Chapter 117 Life is like a guest, gathering and scattering with fate four
This place is a farewell, lonely and thousands of miles away.
Seeing each other may also become a luxury.
Stepping out of the heavy gate of Qingqiu Castle, the sky is clear. But Jiufang Shaoyun's face was full of gloomy clouds, dark and lackluster.
She tried her best to control her emotions, but she still couldn't help but turn back in three steps.
Yinghu, who was quietly lying on the shoulders of Jiufang Shaoyun, shook his head and sighed, and said in his heart: Women, it will be sad to pass the love barrier after all!
When it raised its eyes to see the white figure in the window of the castle, it couldn't help but sigh deeply: Man, too!
On the day of the beginning of summer, heaven and earth begin to meet, and all things are showing.
Thirty miles southwest of Tianchi Mountain, in the Flywater Village, where there are less than 1,000 people, a person and a bird quarrel and step into the entrance of the village.
"You're a bird, not a bee, why are you biting a horse's butt?"
Jiufang Shaoyun, who looked suspicious, squinted at Yinghu on his shoulder, and shook his head frequently: "I didn't expect you to have such a heavy taste as a bird!" ”
"Whew! That's because when Ben Daxian was sleeping on the back of a horse, the stupid horse actually beat me with his stinky tail, and Ben Daxian taught him a little lesson. ”
An hour ago, Jiufang Shaoyun and Yin Xuanling, who were working hard, let the horses go to the stream to draw water and graze, but Yinghu suddenly went crazy and bit the horse's buttocks, causing the two horses to run away in fright.
Helplessly, the unlucky Jiufang Shaoyun and the others could only take two steps and walked for more than an hour, and finally found this remote village in front of them at the end of the day.
Near the entrance of the village, there was a courtyard lit up with a faint light, Jiufang Shaoyun stopped, and when the slow Yin Xuanling approached, she reached out and wiped the sweat from Yin Xuanling's forehead with her sleeve.
Although Yin Xuanling's body was healed, because of the battle in Tianmu Mountain, he consumed too much essence, causing the curse that had been suppressed to almost fight back.
After that, he ran around, ate and slept in the open, and his energy and physical strength could not be completely recovered, and he often showed fatigue.
Although Yin Xuanling concealed it well, every time the sharp-eyed Jiufang Shaoyun discovered his strange appearance, he couldn't help but blame him for refusing to recuperate in Qingqiu Castle for a while.
However, compared to Yin Xuanling, Jiufang Shaoyun's recovery speed was simply not like that of a human!
"Senior brother, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Although Yin Xuanling's words were fine, his words were weak and not convincing at all.
Jiufang Shaoyun, who was a little distressed, once again glared at the Yinghu on his shoulder, and reached out to pull the fiery red hair on his head.
"It's all your fault, the troublemaker, who has nothing to do to bite the horse's ass. If it makes my senior brother sick, I will stew you and give him a body supplement. ”
Shaking his little head, Yinghu, who dodged Jiufang Shaoyun's spicy hand to destroy the flowers, glared at Yin Xuanling fiercely, and muttered in a low voice: "When did this stupid roe deer grow his heart, and he still knows that pretending to be weak in front of a stupid woman and sympathizing with him is really cunning!" ”
"Senior brother, hold on a little longer, I'll go to this house with lights on and knock on the door, begging them to take us in for one night, you can eat something for a while, and then sleep well, you will feel much more comfortable."
As she spoke, she took the hand of her senior brother Yin Xuanling, stood at the door of the courtyard of the lamp-lit house, and shouted loudly into the courtyard: "Is anyone at home?" ”
With a "crunch", the polished wooden door of the house in the courtyard was pushed open from the inside, and a white-bearded old man walked out.
The old man walked to the center of the courtyard with a walking stick and two nodules that looked like human faces, squinted his eyes, and asked with a little vigilance who the two of Jiufang Shaoyun were?
Jiufang Shaoyun, who had a harmless human and an incomparably bright smile on his face, replied in a soft and glutinous voice: "My senior brother and I are going to the nearby Tianchi Mountain, and we want to spend a few nights here. ”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of broken silver from the money bag very neatly: "We will pay for the house." ”
Seeing a beautiful little girl, her speech was as sweet as caramel candy, and the white-bearded old man also showed a kind smile, opened the courtyard door, and invited Jiufang Shaoyun and the others to enter.
"The humble house is shabby, please don't mind."
I have seen Lu Xuanji's half-dead hut that will fall down when the wind blows, and the bamboo grass huts of other Sang Hu Shushu are not much worse than the palace in the eyes of Jiufang Shaoyun.
Jiufang Shaoyun, who always had a sweet smile on his face, followed the white-bearded old man into the courtyard, embarrassed to say that he was in a hurry, and he hadn't eaten yet, so he didn't know what food the old man could eat at home?
The white-bearded old man with squinting eyes stopped and walked towards the corner of the courtyard, signaling Jiufang Shaoyun to dig the ground with the shovel placed next to him.
Jiufang Shaoyun looked at the loose soil in front of him, he didn't plant any plants, it shouldn't be digging potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Could it be that there is a jar of pickles buried in the ground?
Jiufang Shaoyun, who was puzzled, picked up the shovel and dug for a while, and then she saw a rotting animal corpse.
The screaming Yinghu flapped his wings desperately, almost waking up the entire village, Jiufang Shaoyun silently clenched the shovel in his hand, and his eyes swept over the two ugly and terrifying human-faced tree tumors on the old man's crutch.
A cold wind blew, and Yinghu, who had been shouting for a long time, finally shouted tired, and quietly fell on the shoulders of Jiufang Shaoyun, with a pair of small black bean eyes, staring at the white-bearded old man.
The white-bearded old man who smiled slowly bent down, leaned his back, and said in a gloomy voice: "The ghost is coming in the middle of the night, a small gift, not a tribute." ”
Ghost?
Who are the ghosts?
I think you're a ghost, old man?
shook the shovel in his hand, and was about to stun the evil old man with a spade, when he suddenly saw the white-bearded old man suddenly straighten his back and laugh on his back.
The white-bearded old man who suddenly laughed laughed very loudly, and he fought with Yinghu's scream just now, and he stopped when he saw that he was about to laugh and take his breath.
The white-bearded old man wiped the tears from his laughter with his sleeve, and explained to the Jiufang Shaoyun and the others with a smile: "Don't be surprised, old man, I just made a joke on a whim. This is our local specialty, where the deer hunted in the mountains are buried in the ground and then dug up and eaten after they are corrupted. ”
Jiufang Shaoyun, who silently put down the shovel, said in his heart What kind of ghost are you pretending to be in the middle of the night, you are not afraid that my senior brother will do the way for heaven and slash you with a sword!
However, this special eating habit of burying deer in the ground and eating scavenging meat was told by her uncle, who knew everything, before. At that time, I only felt that the people there were sick in the brain, and I listened to it as a joke, but I didn't expect that one day I really met it.
"However, the old man's reaction to the two of them should be the same as the old man's taste for this thing."
This old man really owes Bian'er!
What you don't want to eat, take it out and scare us into doing something!
The white-bearded old man, who seemed to like to joke and trick people, said that this deer was hunted by the people in the village, and he was the patriarch of the village, so he buried the deer in his yard, and when it was ripe, it was fairly divided among the people in the village for food. "Before I bury it, I'll cut some venison leg meat and give you two a bowl of soup cakes."
Hearing that there was venison soup cake to eat, Jiufang Shaoyun immediately forgave the white-bearded old man's prank, and followed the old man towards the house.
"Boss, this old man is too weird, be careful that he is a demon beast."
When Yinghu was lowering his voice to remind Jiufang Shaoyun, a monster with a face as yellow as a dried corpse suddenly rushed out of the room, and reached out to grab Yinghu who was sitting on Jiufang Shaoyun's shoulder.
"Mom! There are zombies. ”
