Tang Zhixing took down the strange thing and was looking at it carefully. Suddenly, he heard a noise, turned around and found that it was Pei Shaojun.
"Brother Pei? Why did you come in too?"
Pei Shaojun shook his head and looked at the room suspiciously.
The two of them looked through the house carefully and found nothing useful. It may be that the things are useful but they don't know how to use them.
Tang Zhixing held the black thing in his hand and said, "There seems to be a bedroom inside. Let's go take a look."
"good!"
‘Dong dong dong’
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The two were startled, and after looking at each other, they each picked up a sickle from the wall, and then quietly walked to the door.
"Grandma, are you at home? The matchmaker is here to see you!"
Grandma?! Is this little girl’s grandmother in the bedroom inside?
"Grandma, could you please open the door?"
‘Dong dong dong’
The door was knocked again.
"Who is coming?!" Tang Zhixing asked bravely.
"Huh? Who's in there?"
The girl's voice was soft and waxy, and although they were delicate scholars, they were still men, so they were not afraid of a little girl.
Tang Zhixing was about to open the door, but Pei Shaojun held his wrist. Under his eyes, the two of them came to the window.
This window is different from their usual windows made of hemp paper. It seems to be made of extremely thin transparent wafers.
Through the window, they saw a little girl in a red cloak standing in the snow at the door. She seemed to be very cold, and her red hands were rubbing back and forth to dispel the cold.
Looking into the distance, you can see a forest covered in silver.
Tang Zhixing looked at the snow, then looked at the house, and realized something was wrong.
"She should have come from the forest, but there are no footprints on the ground, and there is no stove in the house, but we don't feel cold. It's like. It's like."
"It's like we are not in the same world as her."
While the two were discussing in low voices, the little girl suddenly looked towards the window as if she was aware of it.
"Hello, brother! My name is Matchmaker, can you open the door? I want to see my grandmother."
Her big eyes were twinkling, and the pear dimples on her lips were really cute.
Tang Zhixing felt her scalp numb. Two strangers entered her grandmother's house. Not only was she not afraid, she was still kind and smiling.
"Brother Tang, you stay here and I'll go inside and take a look."
"Ah? Oh! Okay! Hurry up!"
Tang Zhixing clenched the sickle in his hand and watched Pei Shaojun go to the bedroom.
With a prolonged creaking sound, Pei Shaojun opened the door.
Tang Zhixing seemed to hear a strange noise, and within a moment, Pei Shaojun walked out with a pale face.
"How? Where's her grandmother?"
"this"
Pei Shaojun looked embarrassed, as if the scene inside was very unspeakable.
"What's wrong? Is there no one inside?"
"There was a wolf skin and a pair of white bones inside. I looked at the skeleton carefully and found that it was a woman's skeleton."
"Ah? Could it be that this little girl's grandmother was eaten by a wolf?"
‘Dong dong dong’
The knock on the door rang again, and Tang Zhixing's teeth began to chatter: "Should we open the door? Will she misunderstand us?"
"But."
‘Dong dong dong dong dong dong’
The knocking on the door suddenly became more urgent, and you could see through the window that the girl was clearly still smiling, with a harmless look on her face.
"Brother Tang, do you still remember the crossword puzzle we saw outside?"
"On a full moon night, a hidden wolf appears and a murder occurs. Please find out the truth."
"Well, I have heard the legend that a werewolf will turn into a wolf on a full moon night. The murder should refer to the werewolf killing the little girl's grandmother, but Pei can't guess what kind of hidden wolf it is."
Tang Zhixing glanced out the window again and saw the little girl who called herself the matchmaker shivering.
"Brother Pei, why don't we let her in first? Look how pitiful she is!"
Pei Shaojun hesitated and said: "The room is just a wolf skin left after a werewolf molted. If she is a real werewolf, our lives will be in danger."
"Ah? That little girl will be a werewolf?! It's impossible!"
Tang Zhixing looked outside again and found the matchmaker squatting in front of the threshold, her arms folded around her chest, her petite body curled up together.
Pei Shaojun was still deep in thought when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He turned around and saw that Tang Zhixing had opened the door of the wooden house. With a heavy creaking sound, a red figure rushed in like lightning.
Pei Shaojun pulled Tang Zhixing back to him without thinking. The cold wind mixed with snowflakes outside the house blew on their faces, and the hot-headed Tang Zhixing finally calmed down.
After the matchmaker turned around and closed the door, she turned around and glanced at them. Then she pursed her pink lips and said resentfully: "Brother is so cruel that he had the heart to shut me out!"
After saying that, she took out an object the size of a finger from her pocket and walked to the fireplace. She heard a "pop" sound and the small object burst into flames. She skillfully lit the match in the fireplace.
, sitting in front of the fireplace to keep warm.
Tang Zhixing was full of doubts. Are werewolves also afraid of the cold?
Impossible! Pei Shaojun must be too suspicious!
"Ahem! Girl! Xiaosheng is on a trip to Tang Dynasty. This is Pei Shaojun next to me. May I ask what the girl's identity is?"
In the previous illusion, no one had ever paid attention to them, and this little girl was the first 'person' who could talk to anyone.
Uh. Let’s call her a ‘person’ for the time being.
After all, everything in this illusion is false.
The matchmaker turned her head when she heard this, her eyes were a bit strange, and Tang Zhixing was so frightened that he shrank his neck.
"My name is Hong Niang, and I live in the village opposite the forest. It snowed suddenly today, so I came to bring some hot food to my grandmother. Where is my brother? Did he come to my grandmother's place to avoid the snow?"
"Ah? Oh, yes, yes, yes! We two brothers are passing through here, and we don't mean to disturb you! Don't blame me, girl!"
Tang Zhixing just noticed that there was a small basket beside the matchmaker.
"Puch!" The matchmaker smiled so cutely, with two dimples looming on her face that was red from the cold, "Brother, you talk like an ancient person!"
"Ancient people? What are ancient people?" Tang Zhixing pointed the black object in his hand at the matchmaker, "What else is this thing?"
The matchmaker's expression suddenly changed: "Put it away quickly! This is a shotgun! Be careful of misfire!"
"Shotgun? What's a shotgun?"
"Huh? You don't know what a gun is? Hehe! That's a good thing that can kill people!"
‘Click’
Tang Zhixing was startled by her sinister smile. He dropped the shotgun in a panic. Suddenly, a cold chill came from the back of his neck. Acting on instinct, he immediately picked up the shotgun. The dangerous feeling disappeared immediately.
