She stamped her feet, stood up straight, twisted her waist and walked towards me in a charming way, her high heels clanking on the bluestone floor, "He is very handsome, I like it very much. A handsome man should be worthy of a match"

Beautiful woman. How about you give him to me and I'll leave you a way to survive?"

I gritted my teeth and grinded my teeth hard: "Are you dreaming?"

A slender gloved hand suddenly placed on my shoulder. The woman smiled coquettishly and said confidently: "Tell me, if I tell my husband that his wife is a dead person, will he be surprised?"

Very unexpected, very... scary?"

I frowned and said nothing.

She suddenly grabbed one of my wrists, pinching the place where my pulse was beating with her fingertips, which made me feel uncomfortable. She threatened sinisterly: "Although I don't know what method you used to make yourself

It looks so lifelike, but I have plenty of ways to make you show your true form."

This woman is sick! She is seriously ill!

But I'm curious, how did she find out that I was a living dead?

"You can do it if you want!" I held the porcelain bowl impatiently and choked her back: "Should you let go yourself, or should I pour the noodle soup on you?"

She was startled, then quickly let go, raised her thin eyebrows and smiled seductively: "It's interesting, I like it. But I'm still looking forward to seeing what your husband's expression will be like when he sees you turned into a skeleton, hahahaha..."

She twisted her slender body and walked proudly along the bluestone corridor to the lower room.

Sister-in-law Duan picked me up after delivering her two bowls of noodles. When she saw Zhang Qingqing leaving, she took the bowl of noodles from my hand and asked with concern: "I heard her laughter from so far away. She just bullied you again."

?”

I blew my hot and sore fingers and shook my head: "No, she just suddenly went crazy."

"I think she's crazy about men!" Sister-in-law Duan said to me with disdain: "This person has a bad character, and she stared at your husband along the way.

Look at her wriggling around in a piece of cloth right now. I don’t know which man she is trying to seduce! You’d better be careful. Your husband is tall and handsome. She might come into your house one day while you are not at home.

It’s over!

Most men cannot withstand temptation. You are still young and have never experienced this kind of thing. You have never been fooled before so you don’t know how terrible it is. If that happens, you won’t even have time to cry!"

I lowered my head and murmured in a low voice: "My Ah Xuan is very reassuring. He can handle everything carefully."

Sister-in-law Duan shook her head: "Don't trust men too much. Sometimes men are not as strong-willed as you think. Like you, Brother Duan, the female colleague in his company pretended to be weak all day long and called him Brother Duan with a pinched voice. She was not wearing clothes.

If I'm not cold, I just have sprained feet. I'll fall into your brother Duan's arms at every turn, and I'll hit the car as soon as I get off work.

That time at their company party, if I had gone later, the two of them would have kissed each other on the lips! Although your brother Duan later cried and begged me for forgiveness and apologized to me, I also know that you are not the kind of person who

The problem with the bohemian man out there is that he doesn't know how to say no, and that woman is too thick-skinned.

But there are some things, even if you know the answer is not as serious as you think, but when you see that scene with your own eyes and hear those words, you will still be angry and resentful regardless of the reason, and there will be a hurdle in your heart that you can't get over at all.

And this kind of hurdle will last a lifetime. It will stay in your heart forever, making you unable to forget it all the time. Even if he tries his best to do things that move you, you will instinctively set a mark on him in your heart.

Line of defense.”

When she said this, I began to feel uneasy.

It's not that he doesn't give me enough sense of security, it's that I'm too afraid of being abandoned by him.

It was night, and the sound of rain hitting the wooden window suddenly came from the tightly closed wooden window. The wind seeped in through the hard window screen, sending a shiver down one's spine.

The rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. Amidst the chaotic sound of raindrops hitting the window, there was a sudden sound of thunder, which scared me so much that I suddenly woke up from my drowsiness——

"Axuan." She called him subconsciously.

"I'm here." He immediately took me into his arms and wrapped me tightly in a thin quilt.

Hearing his voice and feeling the warmth in his arms, my trembling and frightened heart calmed down.

I closed my eyes and nuzzled into his arms obediently. I whispered to him in a low voice, "It's thundering, it's so loud."

He patted my shoulder, patiently and gently, like coaxing a baby who was noisy and unwilling to sleep at night, "Madam, are you afraid of thunder?"

I rubbed my heavy eyelids and nodded: "Yeah."

"Girls seem to be afraid of thunder. It doesn't matter, I'll accompany you." He rubbed my head and pushed me into his arms, and comforted me tenderly: "From now on, every time there is a thunderstorm, I will accompany you, madam.

."

"good……"

Because of his presence, it didn’t take long for me to fall asleep again, and this time, I slept until dawn——

When I woke up, it was still raining heavily outside. As soon as I got up, Brother Duan and Sister-in-law had already prepared breakfast and put it all in the main room.

"I really don't know if it's a coincidence or not. It started raining heavily as soon as we arrived here. Unfortunately, the weather forecast on my mobile phone was not accurate. When I set out the night before yesterday, I checked the weather conditions here.

It shows sunny to cloudy conditions as shown above. Yesterday in the car, it was also sunny for the past week.

But who knew that the weather would change just after midnight. When I got up in the morning and went outside to pick vegetables, I heard from my neighbors that it often rains in the mountains. This kind of heavy rain is quite common. Sometimes it lasts all night.

Without interruption, the water in the river is overflowing, umbrellas can be blown away when going out, and small trees can be uprooted!

The forecast said it would be showers, but the aborigines said that judging from the situation, it would rain for at least two days and two nights!

The rain made the mountain road wet, and it was dangerous to go up the mountain to explore. So an hour ago, Brother Song informed everyone to stay put and not to run around, let alone sneak up the mountain. We would wait until the rain stopped and the sun came out before we could move together.

According to this, we have to be prepared to live here for a short period of time."

Brother Duan was chewing on a piece of pie, feeling really depressed.

My sister-in-law gave the chopsticks to Xuan Ye and me, and sighed: "I can't go out to find good things on rainy days. The living conditions here are quite difficult. I can only buy some rice, noodles, pies, fried dough sticks and other food with my neighbors."

Okay, this is the porridge made by your brother Duan. It’s not very tasty, so you can make do with it and just eat the pie.”

I took the chopsticks and thanked them: "Brother and sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work. I will get up early and make breakfast with you tomorrow."

The sister-in-law said with a cultured smile: "Look at you kid, you are so polite! You are young, we should take more care of you. Besides, didn't you give us a lot of daily necessities last night?"

Girls are still careful, look at you, Brother Duan, you don’t even know how to bring disposable sheets when you go out. If it weren’t for you, I would have been covered in pimples and itchy to death last night.”

"Hey, you can't blame me entirely! I used to just find a place to lie down when I went out to sleep in a haunted house, and I didn't really think about it. This has become a habit, so I didn't think of it before I left.

I didn’t take the disposable sheets and quilts. Oh, what a shame! It was obviously right in front of me, but I didn’t take it!”

Brother Duan slapped his head and regretted it.

My sister-in-law pushed the pickles in front of me and glared at Brother Duan: "Just tell me, what else can you do!" She turned to me and Xuan Ye and said, "We tasted these pickles and thought they were pretty good. You two

Give it a try and see if you can get used to it."

I glanced at the black plate of pickles and nodded: "You'll get used to it."

I am indeed used to it. After all, I grew up in the mountains. I ate a lot of these pickled vegetables unique to rural villages when I was a child.

But Xuan Ye...

He is the Dragon King with a distinguished status. He has never eaten such rough food.

I broke off half of the pie in my hand and gave it to him, and whispered to him: "I can't finish this much, please help me eat some... pie goes well with rice porridge."

He paused with his chopsticks and glanced at me.

He took my half piece of cake with good temper and nodded: "Okay."

I poured half of his bowl of rice porridge to myself, "I like to drink white porridge. If you feel aggrieved, give me half of the porridge."

He looked at me deeply.

I quickly ate the pie in my hand, and then accompanied Brother Duan and Sister-in-law to eat pickles and white porridge.

"The pickles are pretty good, but this is the porridge. Why doesn't it taste right? Old Duan, did you make the porridge mushy?"

"Hey, I don't want to carry this pot. It's a rice problem. This is probably old rice from a few years ago. It doesn't smell good at all. Forget it, let's make some pasta next time. I see the old man next to me selling it to us.

The white noodles here are quite good. If you have nothing to do, you can make some steamed buns with Qing Ran."

"That's a good idea!"

I chewed off a crunchy pickle and nodded in agreement: "Yeah, yeah, I agree!"

In this way, you can make Xuan Ye something he likes to eat!

After breakfast, Brother Duan took Xuan Ye to the ditch to fish for fish and shrimp.

Sister-in-law Duan and I held umbrellas and planned to walk around the village.

The rain had subsided a bit during the day, and after being reminded by nearby neighbors, we went to the rice fields in the south of the village to look for apricot trees.

Summer is the season when wild apricots are ripe at the foot of the mountain. We found the wild apricot forest very smoothly. Sister-in-law Duan looked at the golden fruits hanging on the trees and decisively chose to borrow a sack from the nearby villagers.

While she was borrowing the sack, I squatted under the apricot tree and picked up a small pile of ripe apricots that were luckily not broken.

After picking it up for about half an hour, it started raining heavily again.

I hurriedly ran to a nearby ruined temple with an umbrella to take shelter from the rain.

The dilapidated temple is dedicated to Tuigong Tupo. The statues of the two gods have been damaged beyond recognition. The incense table where the tributes are placed is also covered with dust. There is a small piece of unburned incense buried in the incense burner.

I don't know how long ago someone set it on fire.

I closed my umbrella and swung it at the door to catch the rain. I stood behind the threshold and paid attention to the changes in the rain outside.

The sky is getting heavier and heavier, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier.
