Chapter 132: Drinking in the Snow
Set off again, the journey was very smooth, and I arrived directly at Mengjiazhuang, and the time was five o'clock in the afternoon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Due to the wind and snow, the sky has already darkened, and the village has been lit up with sporadic lights, sparse, but giving people a very warm feeling.
Shangguan Ning came for the first time, asked some people and things in the village, and was also a little curious about the crack, but because of the mood, everyone didn't have much interest in talking, Meng Fan said a few words without prevarication, and then went directly into the village.
At the behest of Meng Fan, Liu Erxie drove the car directly to the door of Mrs. Zhang's house, and to their surprise, a one-legged old man, on crutches, was standing in the wind and snow and looked over to them...... She was covered with a layer of snow, she should have been waiting for a long time, maybe she was waiting all the time, her figure looked a little cold, lonely, and contained a touch of stubbornness.
After Meng Fan got out of the car with the creek in his arms, the old man ushered in.
"Asleep?"
"Asleep. ”
"Have fun?"
"Very happy. ”
"Good!"
The old man led Meng Fan and opened the door of Xiaoxi's room, his hands were shaking all the time, and he said angrily: "It's really cold, this year's snow came a little early......
After entering the house, Meng Fan looked at the familiar furnishings in the room, as well as the sword marks on the ground that had been cut out from the battle with the rotting corpses, sighed lightly, carefully put Xiaoxi on the bed, and took out the crystal long skirt.
"Mother-in-law, Xiaoxi likes this dress very much before going to bed, help her put it on. ”
"Okay, it's beautiful, it cost a lot of money, right?"
The old man's expression has been very calm, I can't see any emotion, the calm is a little too much, she is carrying the long skirt, her fingers are rubbing on the fabric, the crystal scatters a beautiful halo in the light, like a starry sky, it is also real and illusory, the old man in the house admired, and he didn't shy away from anything, and began to help Xiaoxi change clothes in front of Meng Fan, and the clothes fell off one by one, revealing Xiaoxi's white neck, exquisite collarbone, and beautiful ...... It's just that the old man's hands are shaking all the time.
Meng Fan couldn't bear to look at it anymore, afraid that he couldn't leave, that he couldn't forget it, and that he was afraid of sinking...... Turning his back, knowing that his mother-in-law was not in a good mood, he took a deep breath and said softly, "Mother-in-law, you can ...... Cry out. ”
The old man's body was stunned, he turned his head to look at Meng Fan's back, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he paused for a while before saying: "What are you crying, it's not the first time Xiaoxi has fallen asleep, and she is not alone at home, the old body can see it, isn't there still you, go outside, and next time you come back, you will wake up Xiaoxi......"
"Good!"
Meng Fan nodded, and only said one word, but this word seemed to weigh a thousand catties, making it difficult for him to breathe, his eyes looked at the door, and his heart flew out, crossing the mountains and rivers, crossing the lakes and seas, as if he was looking for something, as if he was asking something: "Can you help me save someone......?"
"Pretty, pretty!" the old man helped Xiaoxi change her clothes, and praised him, "Xiaoxi didn't follow you in vain, this dress is the best dress she has worn since she was a child......"
Time seemed to freeze, and it was very difficult to walk minute by minute, Meng Fan didn't know how he came out of Xiaoxi's room, and he didn't know how to remove the last glance from Xiaoxi's face, he only knew that when he helped Xiaoxi cover the quilt, the whole world disappeared......
"Meng Fan, do you still have friends in the car?" the old man asked while standing at the door.
"Well, two evils and a friend. Meng Fan said, "I'm doing things for that friend, and I want to break out through them." ”
"Okay, do a good job!" the old man nodded, and asked again, "You haven't gone home yet, don't go back, have a meal at the old man's place, a feast to catch the wind, since you left...... The old body is already on the table, knowing that you will be back at any time. ”
"Good. Meng Fan said.
The sky was full of wind and snow, Meng Fan took Shangguan Ning and Liu Erxie, and followed the old man into the backyard, there was a table in the backyard, the table was full of wine and food, and there were a few bottles of wine, which was already covered by heavy snow, and the dishes were already cold, just like the temperature of snowflakes in the sky, but seeing these dishes, Meng Fan's heart warmed up for no reason, smiled, and sat down in the wind and snow, he knew that the old man was already ready to meet this moment.
At this moment, you can't hide from it, and you can't escape it.
"I didn't know that there was a distinguished guest coming, so I went to get chopsticks. The old man glanced at Shangguan Ning, staggered on crutches, and brought chopsticks again.
In the snowstorm, this scene looks a little strange and unusual, and no one will eat in the snow...... Shangguan Ning swept the snow on the stool, sat down, looked at the old man, looked at Meng Fan, she didn't say anything, but slowly, she actually felt that all this should be like this, and this was right.
As for the black coffin in the middle of the courtyard, it doesn't look so eye-catching.
"Two evils, open the wine. The old man beckoned and sat down, "These are all Xiaoxi's favorite foods, everyone tastes them, let's be lively." ”
"Good. Meng Fan's palm lit a fire, stroked from the food one by one, the fragrance of the vegetables floated out, wisps of white gas dissipated in the wind and snow, people smelled, saw, inexplicably calmed down, sandwiched a chopstick dish into his mouth, Meng Fan said, "It's really delicious!"
The food was hot, the wine was full, and the three young men and an old man drank freely in the heavy snow, in the wind and snow, in the current situation, this scene did not seem to be inconsistent, but there were some informal meanings of the children of the rivers and lakes.
The old man's wine was well prepared, and this day was the one Meng Fan drank the most.
At the end of the scene, the old man left Meng Fan alone, grabbed his hand and said, "Meng Fan...... Can you call me...... Grandmother. ”
Meng Fan held the old man's hand tightly, nodded, and then knelt on his knees and kowtowed twice: "Grandma, Meng Fan and Xiaoxi have kowtowed to you." ”
The old man raised his face, looked at the night sky where the snowflakes were flying, let out a long breath, and two lines of hot tears flowed from his cloudy eyes, pulling Meng Fan up: "Promise the old body one more thing, don't come back to see the creek when you leave, even if you miss her, you can't come back...... Until the day you can save her. ”
“…… Good. ”
Meng Fan thought for a while before he nodded, stared at the old man, and his figure disappeared into the heavy snow...... Suddenly there was a cry from behind the old man, who was trying to suppress it, and she would accompany the two sleeping people and continue to live, lonely as if she were alone.
When Meng Fan came out, Shangguan Ning was standing outside waiting, still holding the child in his arms. Meng Fan knew what she wanted to do, nodded at her, stuffed a cloth bag into her, and said in a deep voice: "After finishing the work, I gave the money to the old man, and I didn't have a chance to give it just now." ”
Shangguan Ning nodded and went in, and when he came back, his face was relaxed, and he was holding a soul as clear as amber in his arms, which belonged to the child.
"I destroyed the child's body, leaving only his soul, and then it was time to warm his mind. Shangguan Ning said this, and his face turned red because of the wine, "Do you want to go home next?"
"Don't go back, go straight to Huyang City. Meng Fan leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes heavily, and said, "I'm a little sleepy after drinking, so I'll sleep first." ”
Liu Erxie didn't drink much because he came by car, but he drove the car to his house halfway, moved the things in the car, explained a few words to his mother-in-law, and left.
The woman looked at the departing Liu Erxie in the wind and snow, and whispered: "Erxie, if you make money, go home early to accompany me......"
When she got home, she hugged the clothes that the man had given her and wept, she had never seen such beautiful clothes when she was so big.
The next day, the woman gave the things brought back by the two evils to the village chief Sun, and after the village chief Sun counted them, he gave them to the people who needed them the most...... Meng Fan.
When he returned to Huyang City, it was already the middle of the night, because of Xiaoyu, Meng Fanwan refused Shangguan Ning's request to stay in the hotel, and checked into the hotel again, but found that Xiaoyu was not there, and Xiaoyu still did not appear until the next day, he knew that Xiaoyu must have had an accident, because Xiaoyu promised him that he would always wait for him in the room.
Subsequently, he went to the front desk of the hotel, and after some side knocking, he finally learned what happened, and the little girl at the front desk told him that there was a Taoist priest who helped the hotel catch ghosts, and the fee was low...... (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
