The heavy rain fell, and bead curtains were woven along the thatch of the eaves.
There were about ten people crowded into the small farmhouse courtyard. Except for Chen Yuan and Sun Zhengde, almost all of them stared blankly at the woman in white dress at the entrance of the fence yard. She looked like a graceful lily in the rain, as if she was just a girl.
Like a picture of a beautiful woman holding an umbrella in the rain.
"So...so beautiful..." At this time, a group of elders looked at them blankly. There were also pretty-looking village women in the village, but their figure and skin were hard to compare with.
A man came back to his senses and asked in a low voice: "Girl, you came to our village to stay overnight and avoid the rain?"
Someone spoke, and the others also reacted. Even the few men who had been standing under the eaves just now and scolded Xu Da Zhuang swarmed around the woman and slapped their chests.

"Girl, you can say whatever you want, we still have some vacancies at home."
"That's the worst case scenario, let my mother-in-law go to another room by herself..."
The woman just smiled at them, and walked over lightly holding the green umbrella in her hand, and came to the middle of the courtyard. Xu Dazhuang was fascinated by it, and stood up unconsciously, thinking that she was looking for him, and opened his mouth.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, the woman in the rain suddenly lowered her body slightly and bowed next to him.
"I, Bai Susu, pay my respects to your husband."
The fat Taoist held the bowl and moved his buttocks to make way. He saw that Chen Yuan had stood up and walked to the eaves, "Come in and hide from the rain."
Snap.
Xu Dazhuang dropped the kuaizi in his hand to the ground. He looked at Chen Yuan, who was dressed in simple clothes and had a long beard, and then looked at the woman over there. He suddenly felt a sense of loss.
It turned out that I was not looking for myself.
The group of men around looked at each other in confusion, especially the young man who had teased Chen Yuan and the fat Taoist just now. He curled his lips and was about to step forward when he was grabbed by the corner of his clothes by an elder behind him. The latter shook his head slightly and then changed.
In a relaxed tone, he said to Xu Dazhuang under the eaves: "Dazhuang, please eat slowly, we will go back first."
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the girl in the rain and the teacher under the eaves. He waved his hand and drove a group of juniors away quickly. After leaving the yard and returning to Shaiba, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The few young men following behind were in their prime of life, especially when they had not yet found a mother-in-law. When they saw such a beautiful woman, they were naturally reluctant to leave and couldn't help complaining.
"Uncle, there is nothing going on at home, and the fake monk is being watched by others. Why are you so anxious to ask us to leave?"
"That's right, that girl just now was so beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful girl in my whole life."
"...Who's to say no? If you stay a little longer, maybe that girl will like one of us?"
"You know shit."
The elder of the Xu family turned around and cursed at them, wiped the rain from his face, and squatted on the mound next to him wearing a raincoat, "I really can't see such a good-looking girl. I don't want to think about such a beautiful girl."
How did you show up alone in the middle of the night?"
After being reminded like this, the blood of several young juniors suddenly turned cold.
I heard the elder on the mound continue: "If nothing else, haven't you seen that girl worshiping the teacher? A weak-mannered man driving a car with a Taoist priest with a dark face makes people feel suspicious. Still.
Yes, the matter of the big snake in the river today has not been over yet, I can’t say, but the senior man in the village today..."
When the elder of the Xu family said this, his voice was extremely low. When the following words fell into the ears of everyone, their expressions changed. They connected everything they saw today and seemed to feel something was wrong.
A sense of fear of the unknown arose inexplicably. Thinking about the woman just now, the young men couldn't help but tremble.
"Uncle, could it be that that woman is a demon in the mountains..."
"Bah, don't say it."
The experiences of the older generation are often turned into stories, which make people mesmerized. There are also simple and easy-to-understand truths. If you don’t talk about ghosts at night, don’t talk about monsters on the mountain. If there is really a mountain spirit ghost, once you open your mouth, it will be easy to expose it.
Bringing trouble upon oneself.
After being bitten by the elders, those who originally wanted to speak shut their mouths in time, stayed quiet for a moment, each found an excuse, and hurried home.
well.
The elders of Xu's family came down from the mound, looked in the direction of Xu Dazhuang's family, put their hands together and bowed to the surrounding rainy night.
"Don't blame the gods and ghosts when you pass by. It's just some children who are ignorant...the ancestors of Xujia Village bless you."
After saying a few random words, the wind mixed with raindrops hit his face. The old man also shivered, hugged his raincoat, and ran home quickly.
At this time, in the small courtyard of Xu's family, a dim oil lamp stood on a small table with missing legs. Xu Dazhuang squatted under the eaves not far away with a bowl in his hand, digging at it bit by bit, peeking at the woman who had entered the eaves from time to time.
"Sir, when did you come back?"
Someone she hadn't seen for many years was in front of her. Bai Susu tried her best to suppress her trembling voice. She folded her umbrella and put it against the wall. She sat down on a low stool next to the fat Taoist with her skirt folded up.
Looking at Chen Yuan's appearance, there was a slight glint in her eyes.
"Sir's appearance has changed a lot."
"It's changed." Chen Yuan also felt a little emotional, but he spoke more relaxedly and gestured with his fingers: "Look, the beard has grown so long!"
Bai Susu was a little sad when he made such a gesture, and she couldn't help but smile, but the tears in her eyes still turned into two rows of water droplets and fell down.
"Sir, it's still the same as before."
"You are different."
Chen Yuan looked at the dignified and beautiful woman in front of him carefully. After the transformation, the beauty was indeed the most beautiful he had ever seen, and the figure was also the most beautiful. Her black hair was rolled up like a waterfall, her steps were swaying, and she had beautiful eyes.
And clear, there is no evil spirit like ordinary monsters.
Xu Dazhuang over there peeked at the two people talking here. He had been single for so many years. It would be a loss if he didn't look at her for a while. But when he took a third look, the beautiful and outrageous woman suddenly stood up.
, stooped down and gave another blessing to the big brother over there.
Hearing the woman's voice say: "Sir, please forgive me." He was startled again and stood there with a bowl in his hand, at a loss.
there.
Bai Susu thought that Chen Yuan's words: "You are different." It was because of the green bamboo causing a flash flood and disturbing the people today, so she hurriedly apologized to Chen Yuan, "Sir, I have punished the snake demon who caused trouble today, especially
Bring it here."
As she spoke, the woman spread her palms, and a green-black snake head suddenly appeared.
"His name is Qingzhu. He is one of several of his kind with spiritual roots that I have adopted in the mountains over the years. I neglected to discipline him and allowed him to harm the people here for decades. At dusk, I will behead him."
Bang.
In the flickering lights, Xu Dazhuang looked at the drooping snake head in the woman's hand. The bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground again. The next moment, he was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.
