I turned around and looked behind me, only to see Ziyue and her companions walking towards me.
Strange, why did they say this is the tomb of the prince? I clearly saw three adobe houses in front of me!
I was quite surprised.
Could it be that behind the house is the entrance to the prince's tomb?
Just when I was wondering, I suddenly saw an old woman walking out of the adobe house in front.
I looked at the old woman and saw that she looked very similar to Zou Li's mother.
Presumably, this must be Zou Li's grandmother in this life.
Thinking of this, I couldn't care less about those young people going on adventures.
I quickly walked up to the old lady, nodded to her and said hello: "Madam, your daughter has been born. Well, their family asked me to announce the good news. Your son-in-law happened to be away from home.
So I'll do the errands."
"Announcement of good news?" The old woman was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened and she asked, "You mean my daughter was born?"
"Yes! It's that family two miles away! Isn't that your daughter?" I asked the old lady.
"Yes, yes, that's my daughter. Come in, come in and sit down!"
The old lady called me in and soon shouted loudly into the house: "Old man, come out quickly. Our daughter has been born. Fengying has given birth to a daughter."
While talking, the old lady had already taken the pot from my hand, with a smile that couldn't be hidden on her face.
I was a little confused by what the old lady said.
She didn’t even ask me, but she knew that her daughter Fengying was giving birth to a girl? There’s something wrong with this!
"Auntie, how do you know your daughter is giving birth to a girl?"
I decided to ask the old lady.
To be honest, at that time I was a little doubtful that I had seen a ghost. After all, this place is very dark.
Who knows who this old lady is! She knew that her daughter had given birth to a girl without even looking at her. How could she do it without magical powers?
If you have supernatural powers, you are probably a ghost.
When the old lady saw me asking this question, she actually laughed: "I think this is your first time to announce the good news to someone! You can tell whether it's a boy or a girl in this jug! You wrapped it in red cloth
The tip of the spout means that the baby is not a person with a handle. If he wants to have a handle, can he still let the cloth cover the handle?"
This sounds really reasonable! I almost wanted to laugh.
It seems that this announcement is really a science. The ones with handles are not stuffed with red cloth, but the ones without handles are stuffed with red cloth. If you think about it carefully, it is really like this! If the handle is stuffed with cloth, wouldn't it become urinary stones?
?
Let me go, where did I go?
"Oh! This is someone from my husband's family. I'm going to be a grandpa!"
Just as I was thinking about it, an old man suddenly came out of the room inside.
He smiled and greeted me. He handed me cigarettes and asked the old woman to make me tea. He was so polite.
The old man sat me down and started chatting with me. He said he would keep me here to eat, but the old woman had already gone to work in the kitchen.
I'm sorry that the people in the mountains are really warm-hearted. I just came to announce the good news, but I ended up receiving such warm hospitality.
Thinking about it, I really didn't handle this matter carefully. Until now, I had even forgotten to ask Zou Li what the name of her mother was in this life. Fortunately, the old lady told me earlier that her name was Fengying.
At this time, her father told me his last name again.
"Young man, since we are from my husband's family, I will often come to my old Ren's house to play. My name is Ren Jiujin."
"Uncle, do you have two daughters?" I asked. In fact, I really wanted to know the story about Shan Mei. Thinking about it, I had already arrived at his home, and I was very worried about this matter.
"Yes, I have two daughters. The eldest daughter is Ren Xiangyun, and the younger daughter is Ren Fengying."
"Is the older one getting married too?" I asked deliberately, wanting to hear the story of Shan Mei.
"Alas! Let's not talk about this matter." A trace of sadness flashed across the old man's face, and he deliberately changed the topic: "Let's sit down at the dining table first! We will eat soon."
I really wanted to ask him about Shan Mei's past, but I finally swallowed the words. I couldn't bear to mention such a sad thing.
Not long after, the old lady brought out several dishes, including cooked duck, chicken and pig ears. They all seemed to be braised and not spicy at all. There was no seasoning, and the taste was really bland.
.
"Come on, little brother, let's have a nice drink."
Ren Fengying's father, Ren Jiujin, picked up a wine flask and poured a full bowl of wine into my bowl.
I looked into the wine bowl and saw that it turned out to be deep red wine. I couldn't help but be a little surprised. I never thought that there could be such high-end and elegant things in this deep mountain.
"Come! Drink!"
The old man picked up the bowl and took a sip.
Looking at the red wine, I also felt a little itchy on my lips, so I picked up the bowl and took a sip.
As soon as I entered, I felt something was wrong.
Oops, I remember this old man’s daughter, Ren Fengying, told me that it was best not to drink and to go back quickly.
Not only did I drink it now, but I also drank it from a bowl.
It would be rude not to drink up such a large amount of wine. After all, it would be a pity to pour the wine that you have drunk, and you cannot give it to others.
Just as I was hesitating, the old man started to drink again.
"Come on, young man, drink! This is the best wine we brew in the mountains, and you can't buy it with money."
"Okay! Drink it." Upon hearing this, I picked up the bowl decisively and poured it into my mouth.
What I was thinking at the time was that Ren Fengying was probably afraid that I would get drunk and pick up the pavilion on the road, and would not be able to go back after dark.
If this is the case, then I can drink it with confidence. At least there will be no problem in drinking this bowl. I know my drinking capacity.
I relaxed my stomach and started drinking. As I drank, the whole room became dark.
The old man went to get a candle and lit it in the room.
I couldn't help but panic, and I couldn't help but said: "Why is it getting dark?" I remembered that I had to go back before dark, but it was already dark.
Seeing my worry, the old man smiled and said, "How can it get dark so soon! It's not even two o'clock yet! You can eat with confidence, but the weather in the mountains is very strange. When the clouds come together, it will get dark."
.But it will get better soon. It will not gradually get dark until at least three o'clock."
I took out my phone and saw that it was really a little more, so I felt relieved and started drinking with the old man.
While drinking, the old lady brought two more long bamboo tubes, and a strong aroma of rice hit her face.
"Come on, this is bamboo tube rice from our mountains. You can't get it even with money outside." The old lady put a bamboo tube in front of me.
When I looked at the bamboo tube, which was roasted yellow and black, my appetite suddenly increased.
I've only seen this stuff on TV.
I couldn't help but curiously took the bamboo tube over and gently opened it. I heard a "click" and the bamboo tube was opened by me. Soon I saw pearl-like rice appearing in the bamboo tube, which was fragrant.
of.
I picked up the bamboo tube and was about to put it to my mouth. Unexpectedly, I suddenly felt a huge pain in my finger. Then my index finger was cut by the bamboo tube and a long cut was made, and a stream of bright red blood poured out.
Drop by drop of blood dripped down desperately, dyeing the rice in the bamboo tube bright red.
"Ah! Blood!" The old man stared at me with his eyes wide open, without moving his eyes.
At this time, the old lady beside him gently touched the old man with her elbow and said, "Old man, what are you doing? Why don't you give the guest a tube of rice?"
"Oh! Okay!"
The old man listened to the old lady's instructions, and then he used his strength to break open the other bamboo tube containing bamboo tube rice for me, and then handed it to me.
The old lady took away the blood-stained bamboo tube rice.
"Come on, young man, you can eat this one from me!"
The old man handed me another piece of rice in a bamboo tube, and looked at me with a strange look. His eyes were always staring at my fingers, and there was an indescribable greed in his eyes.
It seems that the old man and the old lady are not afraid of bleeding.
Especially this old man, not only was he not afraid, but when he saw me bleeding, there seemed to be an uncontrollable joy and excitement in his eyes.
What's going on with this old man? His eyes are weird. I feel like when he looks at my wound, he wants to turn his nose over and smell it.
An inexplicable nausea passed through my heart.
I used the little finger of my right hand, stained with the blood on the index finger of my left hand, to quietly write a seal character, and then silently recited in my heart: " seal ".
Soon, the blood on that finger stopped coming.
"Eh! It's strange, the blood is no longer flowing." Seeing that the blood on my hand was no longer bleeding, the old man suddenly said this, which made me feel even more confused.
I bet this old man wants my fingers to bleed all the time to make him happy.
"Uncle, where is the water here? I want to wash my hands." I asked Ren Jiujin.
Ren Jiujin pointed with his finger and said, "Go to the kitchen at the back. There is a well there. Just rinse the wound with the well water and it will be fine."
The old man looked at my finger that had just stopped, and his lingering look made me feel numb.
I always feel like this old man is very interested in the blood on my body.
No matter, maybe I was just imagining it after drinking too much.
I walked towards the kitchen, and within a few steps, I saw a well outside the kitchen.
I walked straight towards the well, but at this moment, I suddenly heard a "bah" and "bah" sound coming from behind me, as if someone was licking something.
Following the direction of the sound, I came to a small dark room.
There is a stove and a large water tank inside. This is the kitchen.
I inadvertently glanced towards the front of the kitchen hall and couldn't help but be startled.
I saw an old lady sitting in front of the stove. She was licking the bamboo tube that I had dripped blood on with relish, and licking the bright red blood on it.
I felt nervous. I thought, I must have gone to the wrong place and entered a ghost den. And it was very likely that this was the den of a vampire.
I was thinking about how to escape.
I slowly turned around and prepared to walk outside the house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned around, I saw a large glass jar standing in front of me.
This time, I could see clearly. There was a living, naked man sitting inside the glass jar. His entire body was soaked in a red liquid.
Suddenly, I felt nauseated in my body, and I couldn't help but vomit it out on the spot.
"vomit!"
All the food in my stomach was vomited out at once.
Now I finally understand why Ren Fengying told me to go back quickly and stop drinking at their house.
It seems that this woman has long known that his parents are ghosts.
If this is the case, what about Ren Fengying? What is she? My heart suddenly became a little confused.
