Chapter 114: The Thatched House to the South

"Most of the treasure bottle village was laid down ......by Li Lao Wuyi," the little sister glanced at Wang Fengming and said: "Presumably, the other half is due to you're the 'third master', right? ”

Wang Fengming smiled: "Nothing can escape your eyes." ”

The little sister turned around and said, "Not necessarily. ”

The night soon came, and the silence of the night was all the more heart-rending than the cries of insects in the grass.

Just after the hour, the four figures quietly slipped under the south wall of Xu Rongle in the dark. They are the four people of Xiaomei, Erhei, Wang Fengming and Ling Laoda.

Not far away, under the eaves, a lantern swayed in the breeze, and the fire inside the lantern had been extinguished for an unknown amount of time. Fortunately, the moonlight is just right at this time, so you don't need to light the lamp, and you can see the surroundings clearly just by the moonlight.

"What smell?" Suddenly, the little girl under the wall glanced to the side and asked Ling Lao Dao, "Boss Ling, what is that room for over there?"

Less than ten meters away from them was a small tiled house, the front of which was mossy and a little muddy, and the wooden door was slightly open, and it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen. Boss Ling glanced at it and said, "That's a thatched house." ”

Xiaomei asked, "Your Xu Rongle's thatched house is built here?"

"yes. Boss Ling nodded and asked in surprise, "Is there any problem?"

Erhei wrinkled his nose and said, "I don't think there's anything strange about this thatched house except for the smelly one." ”

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of the hut again, and it was dark inside, which looked very strange, as if there was an invisible ghost stretching its claws inside.

Erhei suddenly shrunk his neck, looked at the lantern under the eaves that was swaying in the wind and was broken, and said, "Could it be...... There's something unclean in there, right?"

Wang Fengming suddenly laughed and said, "What clean things can there be in the thatched house? It's all unclean things!"

Erhei glared at him and said, "What I said about 'unclean' is different from what you said about 'unclean'!"

Wang Fengming pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh, what's different?"

Erhei glanced at him and didn't speak.

Wang Fengming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, those things are the most afraid of filth, and they will definitely not hide in that kind of place." ”

Erhei sneered: "Yes, who wouldn't be afraid? If it was thrown on me, I would be scared too! I was so scared!"

"What are you afraid of?" Wang Fengming said: "The cabbage and radish we eat every day in our cottage are not the same, and they are all raised by that thing?!"

The little sister glanced at them and asked, "Have you finished talking about your father and son?!"

Erhei suddenly closed his mouth.

Wang Fengming thought that Xiaomei was just joking, he looked at Xiaomei curiously, and under the moonlight, her face glowed with a faint light.

Wang Fengming smiled: "I didn't expect that you would also joke." ”

The little sister smiled lightly and did not answer.

Jokes or not jokes, only she and Erhei know best. Perhaps, in the past few decades, when Wang Fengming looked at Erhei's increasingly familiar face, he suddenly remembered a conversation under the south wall of this Xu Rongle one night a few decades ago, and suddenly realized something.

It's just that he has passed away before he has time to see Erhei grow like this. Perhaps he would never have imagined that the young man with whom he had discussed the hut years earlier was his son.

The little sister glanced at the thatched house again and said, "Haven't you heard of the so-called 'go up to the thatched house and go down to the kitchen'?"

"Of course I did, but what about I?" asked Boss Ling.

"Just like what the young master just said, the dishes that everyone eats on weekdays are covered by these filthy things, there is an ancient saying called 'fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders', and the north belongs to water, the east belongs to wood, and aquatic wood can flourish in the land of cultivation, so most people will build their thatched houses in the east of the north.

According to the geographical orientation, the north goes down to the south, the left west and the right east, so there is a saying in the world that 'the thatched house and the kitchen'. And here ......"

Wang Fengming said: "Isn't there such a saying? It is said that since ancient times, the status of women has been lower than that of men, and most of the people who enter the kitchen are women, but everyone has to go to the thatched house, whether it is a high-ranking official or a common person, no one can avoid it, so there is such a thing as 'going to the thatched house and going to the kitchen'." ”

Xiaomei said: "If this is the case, how can there be a saying of 'going north and going south'?" Isn't 'Qianlong going down to the south of the Yangtze River' a good example?"

Wang Fengming suddenly stopped, not knowing how to continue.

The little sister glanced at the thatched house, then looked to the south, and asked, "Won't your kitchen be built on the south side?"

Boss Ling nodded in astonishment and asked, "In this way, will there be any disadvantage?"

Xiaomei nodded: "The six animals are not prosperous, the personnel are not prosperous, the fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, and the good and evil are unpredictable." ”

Erhei's eyes were always staring at the swaggering lantern: "It's so mysterious, is it really fake?"

But I suddenly heard Wang Fengming say: "This kind of thing, whether it is true or false, is 'rather believe it than believe it'." ”

Boss Ling snorted suddenly, and said indignantly: "I'll just say that the person looks weird! It turns out to be a liar! And he also said that he is the 'sixty-eighth generation of the male loser'!!!

The little sister's heart moved, and she hurriedly asked Ling Laodao, "Who are you talking about?"

"The man who built this toilet. Boss Ling said.

"Where is this man now?" asked the little sister.

Boss Ling shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know, this house was built a long time ago. ”

"Can you find him?" asked the little sister.

At this moment, suddenly a strange wind blew, the wind was not strong, but the dust on the ground was raised very high. Erhei tried to open his eyes in the fog, only to see dust and sand everywhere, and suddenly, he heard a "poof" sound, and a little fire suddenly lit up.

It's the direction of the thatched house!

The light of the fire swayed in the strange wind, but it refused to be extinguished.

After a while, the strange wind suddenly stopped, the dust and sand slowly fell back to the ground, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves slowly quieted down from the desperate shaking, and the fire inside reflected the whole eaves.

The lantern is on!

The tattered lantern that hung under the eaves of the thatched house for an unknown amount of time, it lit up by itself!
