Chapter 379 Seeing my wife’s true face for the first time?
With the ability of perspective, Li Nanke saw Meng Xiaotu and his family in the house.
But unlike real people, what is shown in front of them seems to be just a remaining image. Their figures are slightly transparent, as if they disappear at any time.
It's just that although the picture is displayed, their voices cannot be heard.
It's like turning off the volume button.
At this time, the family had dinner and enjoyed themselves happily.
Meng Xiaotu, who still looked like a little girl, was pestering her father with a stuffed doll and talking about something. Sometimes she pouted her little mouth and became depressed, sometimes she smiled happily.
Meng Xiaotu was still cute and tight when she was a child.
Exquisite like a doll,
Her skin is as delicate as a shelled egg, her eyes are as big as crystal grapes, and her whole body is full of aura.
Mother Meng looked at the father and daughter fighting with tenderness in her eyes.
But after a while, Meng's mother suddenly started coughing.
Her delicate face also flushed a bit, and there were some bruises on her neck.
Seeing this, Meng Xiaotu, who has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, hurriedly brought the medicinal soup that had been dried on the table to her mother, and gently patted her mother's back with her little hands.
Meng's mother drank a few mouthfuls of medicinal soup and gradually got better.
She touched her daughter's little head, smiled lovingly, and said something gentle.
The worried little girl laughed.
Then he stood up on his tiptoes and kissed his mother on the cheek.
Meng's father came over and asked, but she just shook her head, not wanting to worry her husband and daughter.
After a while, Meng Xiaotu ran out of the house to play with her stuffed doll in her arms. The two ponytails she tied up jumped and flicked, making her extremely lively.
Meng's mother said something to her husband, then she packed up the dishes and took them to the kitchen.
Up to this point in the picture, everything is very warm.
However, the next moment, Li Nanke saw an unusual scene.
After watching his wife walk into the kitchen, the smile on Meng's father's face gradually faded, filled with worry and a trace of unspeakable complex emotions.
Looking at the medicinal soup on the table, Father Meng clenched his fists and suddenly took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms.
At this moment, he still had a look of struggle on his face.
But in the end he unscrewed the cork and poured some red liquid into the bowl.
The moment it was put into the bowl, the medicinal soup began to boil.
Father Meng stirred it a few times with a spoon. The red liquid gradually disappeared and the medicinal soup returned to its original state.
After doing all this, Meng's father walked out of the house.
The man's steps looked heavy.
Li Nanke, who witnessed all this, was filled with shock and doubt.
What did Father Meng put in the medicinal soup for his wife?
Red rain?
Or poison?
After looking at the medicinal soup, Li Nanke followed closely.
Outside the hospital, Meng Xiaotu placed the puppet on the swing and fixed it, then gently pushed the swing to let the puppet experience the joy of swinging.
The happiness of a little girl is always very childish.
It is also very clean and pure.
Father Meng walked behind his daughter. When the little girl was immersed in the interaction with the doll, he bent his fingers and flicked the doll's head.
The little girl screamed in surprise, covering her head and staring angrily at her father.
Father Meng took out a candy, and the little girl's eyes suddenly lit up. Then she calmed down, and a cute smile bloomed on her cute round face.
But immediately, she hugged her father's thigh and acted coquettishly.
He even deliberately opened his mouth to scare him and bit the opponent's thigh with his little rabbit teeth.
Helpless, Meng's father took out the remaining candy, and Meng Xiaotu gave up.
Sure enough, the nature of a foodie has been there since I was a child.
Meng's father patted his daughter on the shoulder and said something, then walked towards the path on the west side of the village. Meng Xiaotu waved her hand and didn't think much about it, and continued to play with the doll.
Li Nanke came to the swing and looked closely at the childhood Meng Xiaotu.
Subconsciously, he couldn't help but want to touch the other person's cute face, but his hand passed through the other person's body without any hindrance.
After all, it's just an image.
Li Nanke came to his senses and burst out laughing at his actions.
Seeing Meng's father disappearing away, he knelt down and kissed Meng Xiaotu's cheek across the air and space, and then chased after him, intending to see where he was going.
After Li Nanke left, Meng Xiaotu, who was playing with the puppets, stopped.
She touched her face in confusion.
She turned around and saw nothing but her father's back. The little girl didn't pay attention and continued playing.
Following along, Li Nanke followed Meng's father to a dilapidated thatched house.
The inside of the thatched house was dark and damp, and the roof was covered with a soft straw mat. There were a few bundles of withered grass piled in the corners, and a few rough mats were spread on the floor.
Father Meng opened the mat and patted the ground three times.
Suddenly a secret passage appeared next to it.
Seeing this situation, Li Nanke already understood that Meng Xiaotu's father was no ordinary person.
I'm afraid that the drastic changes in Hecun that year were closely related to him.
Seeing Father Meng walking away, Li Nanke followed.
After passing through the long, dark cave, a wide secret room came into view.
The stone pillars in the room stand tall and spaced in an orderly manner, like huge tree trunks, running across the roof and supporting huge vaults, making this place look more like a small palace.
In the middle of this small palace, a huge altar stands out.
On the altar, there were balls of purple flames burning.
The stone wall engraved with runes next to it glowed with deep light under the purple flames.
"Huh? This is..."
Looking at this sacrificial chamber, Li Nanke looked surprised.
He has been to this place before!
The last time Shi Yan traded with the underworld, he did so in a secret room like Hecun.
It's just that the secret room at that time was very dilapidated and eroded by time. It was not as new and mysterious as it is now, and it also had an unspeakable sense of oppression.
Father Meng walked to the altar and knelt down.
Only then did Li Nanke notice that a person was standing quietly in the shadow above the altar.
This man wears a long gray cloak with gold threads on the cuffs, hinting at his extraordinary identity.
At the same time, he also wore a crimson mask that stuck closely to his face, not revealing a trace of skin, only showing a pair of deep and sharp eyes.
Father Meng's attitude was extremely respectful and fearful.
He lowered his head and didn't know what he was talking about, and his expression sometimes showed pain.
After a long time, the mysterious man in the mask walked out of the darkness.
He is tall and tall, as tall as a pine tree, giving people the impression of a majestic mountain forest. He increasingly feels the nobility and awe of the other person's identity.
He stared at Father Meng. Although he was covered by the mask, he could see that he was speaking.
Father Meng's head hung even deeper.
The fingers of both hands were flexed and the nails were clawing at the ground, showing the torment in his heart.
After the masked man finished speaking, he left the secret room.
Li Nanke looked at Father Meng who was kneeling motionless on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and directly chose to follow the mysterious masked man.
His intuition told him that whether the secret of Hecun could be solved would depend on this mysterious man.
The mysterious masked man did not go out through the passage where Meng's father came from. Instead, he opened another hidden stone door and walked out of the underground secret room through a long stone staircase.
After coming out, we actually arrived outside the village.
About ten meters away is the light blue barrier surrounding the village.
The mysterious man took off the mask from his face.
The face of a middle-aged man was revealed.
The man is not very handsome, but more rugged and masculine, like a tough cliff.
A shallow scar ran diagonally across his left cheek, making his face even more resolute.
The first thing I felt when I saw this face was that this man was a general galloping on the battlefield.
Just when Li Nanke guessed the identity of the other party, another girl appeared.
The girl looks to be about eleven or twelve years old, tall and has a cool temperament.
Although he is young, his childish face has already begun to show the charm of a country. It is difficult to imagine how he will harm the country and the people when he grows up.
Obviously, this is a father and daughter.
But in contrast, the girl was actually holding a bloody human head in her hand.
When she saw the man, she threw his head on the ground and remained indifferent and speechless.
The middle-aged man nodded, patted the girl's delicate shoulder, and took her out of the village.
Li Nanke wanted to catch up, but after taking a few steps, he found that he was blocked.
It turned out to be blocked by a barrier.
The girl who walked out of the barrier took out two short metal spears and guarded the middle-aged man.
