Early the next morning, before Zhou Xiaoze got up, Lu Qingmei had already prepared breakfast.
Lu Qingmei knew that today he was going to look for the evil ghost. Before dawn, she got up and made breakfast for the mysterious man she met.
Lu Qingmei killed an old hen and stewed a pot of soup. When Zhou Xiaoze just walked out of the room, he smelled the strong fragrance of the old hen soup.
In rural areas, old hens are used to lay eggs. They are not ordinary expensive guests. They are never willing to kill laying hens for others to eat.
Zhou Xiaoze sat down at the table, looked at the full bowl of chicken soup that Lu Qingmei served for him, and said with a smile: "Lu Meiren, why did you kill the laying hens you raised?"
Lu Qingmei looked at Zhou Xiaoze with charming eyes and said thoughtfully: "For these two nights, you haven't had a good rest. Not to mention that I will kill a chicken to replenish your body, even if I cut off the flesh from my body, I will not have a good rest."
You’ll blink half an eye!”
Zhou Xiaoze did not dare to say any more.
He doesn't even know what his fate is, and why he attracts women wherever he goes.
But he didn't even dare to touch these women's emotions!
"I won't tell you any more, just eat it while it's hot!" Lu Qingmei saw Zhou Xiaoze's embarrassed look and said with a smile.
This is how women are, they just like to watch the man they love eating the food they cook. The more they eat, the happier she will be.
Zhou Xiaoze also knew that Lu Qingmei really liked him, and also understood her psychology at the moment, so he could only bury himself in eating and drinking.
After she had just finished one bowl, Lu Qingmei filled her with a second bowl, and Zhou Xiaoze forced her to eat it. He was really not suitable to eat alone in front of a beautiful woman.
After breakfast, Lu Qingmei said to Zhou Xiaoze seriously: "Xiaoze, can you tell me now, what is the origin of that evil ghost?"
Zhou Xiaoze then said: "The evil ghost claimed to be Shi Hu, and he was the personal bodyguard of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He was also known as General Shi..."
"What, that evil ghost was transformed by General Shi?" Before Zhou Xiaoze could finish speaking, Lu Qingmei said with a look of shock.
Zhou Xiaoze also looked at Lu Qingmei in astonishment and asked, "Why, do you also know this General Shi?"
"yes,"
Lu Qingmei said, "There are various legends about this General Shi in our neighborhood."
"It is said that he was a murderous evil spirit during his lifetime, and he also liked to eat the hearts of children."
"There is also a theory that Lu Hong's thatched cottage was actually set on fire by him!"
Zhou Xiaoze asked: "Why did he burn down Lu Hong's thatched cottage?"
Lu Qingmei smiled and said: "This is a legend after all. I can't tell you the specific reason."
"It is said that General Shi did too many bad things and was struck to death by lightning."
"Later, his soul entrusted a dream to his subordinates, who helped him carve a stone statue and enshrined it in the Emperor's Spring Cave in the Western Mountains."
"However, over the years, our locals have hardly offered him incense. I heard that the cave has collapsed long ago!"
After hearing what Lu Qingmei said, Zhou Xiaoze had a vague idea that the cave that Shi Hu mentioned should be that cave.
As for Shi Hu being struck to death by a thunderbolt, it is possible that this guy violated a heavenly prohibition while practicing during his lifetime, and was punished for this.
"Lu Meiren, take me to that cave today."
Zhou Xiaoze smiled slightly, "I am certain that the evil ghost transformed by General Shi is hiding in that cave."
"Okay, Ozawa, I'll take you there right away!"
Lu Qingmei opened the door and discovered that at some point, it snowed heavily outside. There was a thick layer of snow in the yard and outside.
Now the snow has stopped long ago, the weather is clear, under the sun, there are two dogs chasing each other on the snow far away.
Seeing the scene in front of me, it is easy to think of the poem written by Zhang Duyou: The river is blurred, the well is black; the yellow dog is white, and the white dog is swollen.
Lu Qingmei looked at the ice and snow in front of her, smiled bitterly and said to Zhou Xiaoze: "Oze, this is more than ten kilometers away from the Diquan Cave in Xishan Mountain. The road is rugged. It seems that we will not be able to get there by motorcycle, so we have no choice.
On foot!"
Zhou Xiaoze smiled and said, "Just because you can't ride a motorcycle doesn't mean I can't. Let me ride and you sit behind me!"
"Ozawa, please stop fooling around."
Lu Qingmei said, "You don't know the path from Funiu Village to Xishan Diquan Cave. Not only is the road narrow, but there are also large and small potholes along the way. The road is covered with thick snow. Riding a motorcycle there,
You may fall into a deep pit accidentally and be unable to climb out!"
Zhou Xiaoze said with a smile: "Don't worry, Miss Lu, let me try it, it will be fine!"
She glanced at him coquettishly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Zhou Xiaoze pushed the motorcycle outside the courtyard door. After Lu Qingmei locked the door and walked out, he said to her with a smile: "Sit in front of me. I will hold you. You won't feel cold!"
"Okay, I want to sit in your arms too!" Lu Qingmei said shyly.
After Zhou Xiaoze got on the motorcycle, he held Lu Qingmei in front and held him in his arms. He immediately started the motorcycle and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, like an arrow off the string, he flew towards the west mountain outside the village.
Got out.
The wheels of the motorcycle stick to the surface of the snow, causing the snowflakes to fly on both sides, emitting a colorful light under the winter sun.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
Lu Qingmei didn't expect Zhou Xiaoze's driving skills to be so good. When she looked back, she couldn't see the deep marks left by the motorcycle on the road.
Oh my God, is the motorcycle Ozawa is riding flying this week?
Lu Qingmei never dared to imagine that a person could ride a motorcycle to the same rhythm as in myths and legends.
Under normal circumstances, it would take less than half an hour for most people to drive from Funiu Village to the foot of Xishan Mountain on a motorcycle, even if they are accelerating.
Zhou Xiaoze, on the other hand, drove to the foot of the Western Mountain in less than ten minutes on Cheng Xue's road.
Zhou Xiaoze stopped the motorcycle, and Lu Qingmei pointed in front of her and said, "Oze, put the motorcycle here. We just need to climb over the hillside in front and reach the Diquan Cave. The statue of General Shi is there."
There!"
Nodding, Zhou Xiaoze placed the motorcycle under a pine tree, took Lu Qingmei's little hand, and walked towards the hillside ahead.
The two of them climbed to the top of the hillside. Zhou Xiaoze opened his eyes and looked at the foot of the mountain in front of him. He spotted the Emperor Spring Cave at a glance...
