Huang Yingying followed everyone to play crazy for a day, and she was really tired. Before nightfall, Chu sent her home. Aunt Huang saw that her daughter's spirit was getting better, so she told Chu to take her out to play more when she was free. Chu hurriedly agreed and turned around and left.

Early the next morning, the group of three arrived at the small courtyard, and Huang Yingying and Tianju went to find Maomao to play. The two little girls have their own thoughts, and in the southwest corner of the courtyard, the two little girls have built a mini zoo.

Chu left with Tianmei and Tianlan. As he galloped all the way, he saw several residents in a valley in the distance. A few men walked from the wolf's back to the huts. There were broken bones scattered along the way, and a little inspection showed that they were just a few cow bones.

"Childe, how do the people here feel weird. ”

"Looks like we're not welcome. It's no wonder, after all, we didn't bring any gifts, so we came empty-handed!"

"Childe, why don't we give them strawberries?"

"If the strawberries come over, it is estimated that they can scare a few people to death, and give them back? You little girl, can you not be so skinny? Go to the front and ask, what happened?"

Tianlan walked over and asked a few people in a row, but everyone ignored her, which really made her depressed. "Who are these people, can I still eat them as a little girl?" Suddenly, people on the street began to gather. "What are they doing here, Childe?"

"Looking at this state, it should be a sacrifice. Chu was a little unsure.

"Sacrifice, why haven't you heard of it before? It's not far from our village!"

The three of them walked out together after the crowd. After walking for a long time, I saw a large high platform in front of me, on which were placed whole cows and sheep, several braziers and a huge incense burner. At the top, on a wooden shelf, a sword hilt is enshrined here.

"Kneel!" all but the three of them knelt down.

Tianmei and Tianlan looked at Chu, but saw Chu staring at the hilt of the sword and pondering. They hesitated, not knowing whether to kneel down or not. At this moment, a man walked over, and he quietly pulled the three people aside. "What are you three children doing here, who let you sneak out?"

The three of them glanced at each other. "Uncle, aren't we hungry!"

"Hungry, didn't anyone come to bring you food this morning?"

"No, no. ”

"Well, that can't get out. Hurry up, hurry away, I'll take you back. Chu and the three were taken away by this uncle, and along the way, this guy wanted to ask what the people in the village were doing, and the uncle reprimanded him back. Tianlan couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw her son's deflated appearance.

The uncle went to his house to get food, and led them to a courtyard, and through the two gates, he saw a round house made of stones. The house has no doors, only two large windows. The uncle stepped aside, took a ladder out of the haystack, and put it on it.

"I really don't know how you ran down, so high, and you're not afraid of falling yourself. The uncle complained and urged the three of them to climb up. "It's not peaceful here, but fortunately, the disaster has passed, who would have thought 。。。。。。 Alas, I have suffered you children. ”

They were amazed by the uncle's exclamation, but no matter how much they asked, the uncle only reprimanded them a few words and said nothing. When Chu and the three of them came to the stone house, they were surrounded by more than a dozen children, and in order to find out what was going on, Chu sent all the candy he had saved so hard.

"So that's the case!" Chu jumped down with Tianmei and Tianlan. The children inside also wanted to jump down, but when they saw the ground, they still felt that it was too high, so they all went back to the stone house.

In order to avoid encountering the kind uncle again, the three of them carefully avoided the crowd. The place of worship is guarded by two villagers, perhaps afraid of this vicious ghost. The two villagers on duty stood far away from the altar.

"Whoosh!" Chu disappeared in an instant, and then took the things that others sacrificed and came down. Tianmei and Tianlan covered their faces and ran out. Soon, Chu appeared in front of the two again, blocking their way. "Why are you two going?"

"Childe, can we not be so rude?"

"Uh。。。。。。 Ahem, that, you see, this is what the villagers say is hoodoo. Don't move, listen to me first. Tianlan stretched out her hand and was about to touch the hilt of the sword, but was slapped back by Chu. "It's a sword!"

The two stupid sisters couldn't help it, thinking that their son-in-law was fooling people again. "Poof, don't make trouble, this is a sword hilt, where did the sword come from?"

"Yes, Childe, isn't it just a sword hilt!" Tianmei Tianlan didn't believe it at all, after all, seeing is believing! Now it looks like this is a bare sword hilt, and there is nothing else.

"Liezi Tang Wen" Kong Zhou said that he has three swords, the second sword is named Chengying, the taste of the friend, when the sun and the evening are dusk, the north is observed, if there is a thing, there is no form. Its touch is also, whispering, passing through things but not seeing. That's why our villagers and uncles treat it as a monster!"

Tianmei nodded, feeling credible, after all, Chu quoted an allusion, and they felt that Gongzi was still very cultured. Tianlan looked at Tianmei, then at Chu, and then pretended to understand very well. "Oh, I see, Childe! What is that。。。。。。 Can we make sense in our own words?"

Chu did not expose her either. "Ahem, you little girl. That is to say, this sword is now only showing the hilt because of daylight, and the sword body will appear after dusk, and the sword body will be sharpened like clay. Therefore, the villagers injured or killed each other without paying attention when they held it. ”

"It's so scary, then in this way, this sword is a fierce sword! Childe, you should throw it away. ”

At this time, Tianmei took the sword. She held the hilt of her sword in her left hand and flicked it lightly with her right hand.

Buzz~~~ A soft sound!

"Huh~ Sure enough, there is really a sword body! However, if you are not familiar with it, will the sword wielder inadvertently cut himself in half。。。。。。 Haha!"

Buzz~~~ The sword body emitted a continuous buzz, and Tianmei felt like she was holding a cheerful elf in her hand. She stepped on the bluestone and soared into the air, holding a sword in her left hand and flying in the air. The sound of breaking through the sky continued to come from the sword body, like a hovering chant in the air.

Tianmei put away her sword, holding the hilt of the sword, but people couldn't tell that she was actually holding a weapon.

"Haha, okay!" Chu gently patted Tianmei's shoulder! "This sword is perfect for you." However, it is really shameless to have a reputation for being a delicate and elegant sword, even if he seems to have no soul like a two-hundred-five. ”

Hum~ The sword body in Tianmei's hand let out a soft sound again, which frightened Chu and jumped out. Tianmei and Tianlan were very puzzled when they watched him flee from behind, and looked down at the hilt of the sword, always feeling a little strange.

"Run-in more, this 'stupid sword' has no brains! You have to make it obedient, it's better to drip blood to recognize the master!" Chu's voice came from afar.

Hum~~ Tianmei's blood dripped onto the sword, and the sword body vibrate. In the shocked gaze of Tianmei and Tianlan, a blood-red sword appeared. However, the color of "blood red" was extremely short-lived, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Tianmei and Tianlan each went back to their own homes, and there were no relatives at home. The gate was still open, and Tianmei walked into the courtyard, which was a mess. There wasn't much left of the house, but she didn't blame the villagers. Walking into the inner room, the tables and chairs were all dusty, thick, and I choked on the smell.

The neighbor's grandmother felt that there was a movement and walked over, and when she saw the little girl in the yard, the old woman did not recognize it. After all, it's old. Under the old man's notice, Tianmei came to the grave of her parents.

Chu was standing behind her, and Tianmei was still sobbing. Tianlan quietly walked to Chu's side, and the two stood together. Not far away, several children in tattered clothes sat on the ground and watched them from afar. "Childe, I'm also very uncomfortable, but I'm crying very much. Let's stand here like this, it will be very uncomfortable for the eldest sister not to cry. ”

"Let's go, Childe, I'm fine. Tianmei interrupted Tianlan's words.

"Well, remember to come to the pillar incense on Qingming and Sacrifice Day every year. ”

"Hmm!"

When they returned to the small courtyard, Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu were learning basic skills under the teaching of Tianzhu. Tianmei brought the children to the house, and Tianlan went to the kitchen. Although it was not yet time to eat, the orphans had not had enough to eat for a long time.

In the next two days, Chu took Tianzhu and Tianju back to the village. Similarly, they brought back several orphans. As a result, there were more people in the small courtyard, and the originally peaceful courtyard had a lot more sounds and was full of vitality.

However, Chu couldn't be happy. He took Huang Yingying to stand in front of Uncle Huang's grave and was silent for a long time. "What's wrong with you? I'm so sad and I'm getting better now, why are you depressed? Haven't you found that thing yet?"

Chu nodded, and the dust duster in his hand gently swept away the dust on the stone tablet. "My mother's cough became more frequent, and although I changed her medicine a long time ago, I still fell ill. This disease is so difficult to treat that no matter how hard I try to remember, I can only think of that one method. ”
