Volume 3 Strange Tales in the Countryside (37)
On the courtyard walls on both sides of the road, wherever she walked, the little ghosts on the walls disappeared in an instant, like soot blown away by a hurricane. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The old lady walked outside the courtyard wall of the village chief's house, turned around, and looked into the courtyard, at this time, Li Minghao and Meng Li'er were both lying on the ground, already fainting.
"Alas......"
The old lady sighed heavily, and the folds on her face flattened and wrinkled tighter. With a cane, she walked step by step into the courtyard of the village chief's house.
When she saw Li Minghao, she was shocked, and sighed that this kid was different, and she moved her eyes to Meng Li'er again, and then she was stunned, and then sighed heavily.
The old lady did not stop any longer, turned around and walked slowly out of the courtyard, and continued to walk to the other side of the village, shaking her head as she went, and said, "I can't hold it back!" Can't hold it down......"
……
"Gogo...... Hook! ”
A large, full-fledged rooster stood on the dirt slope, holding his head high and howling a few times.
"Hmm......" Meng Li'er snorted softly, the sunlight was already a little dazzling, and she could feel the yellow and warm light through her eyelids.
Meng Li'er frowned, vaguely feeling that the back of her head was still in pain, and gradually, she woke up in a drowsiness.
As if she remembered something, Meng Yi'er quickly opened her eyes, ignoring the glamorous and dazzling eyes, and quickly looked around.
Li Minghao was still lying on the ground, sleeping soundly, it seemed that he was not knocked unconscious by Meng Li'er the night before, but his natural sleep.
Meng Qi'er had a splitting headache, her brain was blank, she stared at Li Minghao's face, and she hadn't woken up from her ignorance.
"Hee-hee...... Hee-hee......"
A burst of laughter sounded from the other side of her head, Meng Li'er was startled, and suddenly remembered that she had such laughter last night, and followed them all the way in a terrified manner, as well as the pale "paper man" sitting on the wall!
"Who?!" Meng Li'er turned her head suddenly, but saw several old people and three or two children, staring at her and Li Minghao sneering.
"This ......" Meng Yi'er is even more blindsided, what kind of play is this? Wake up and go to heaven?
Meng Meng'er looked left and right, and then found that she and Li Minghao were lying on a dirt slope next to the "main road" of Youshui Village.
Meng Qi'er sat up, crawled next to Li Minghao, and shook him desperately.
"Hmm...... Well......" Li Minghao sighed twice, turned over and fell asleep again.
This kind of scene is so familiar, I think that the Taoist chief couldn't wake up like this back then, but Meng Qi'er was decisive and splashed a cup of tea...... Still haven't woken up.
Meng Li'er stood up with humble eyes, patted the dust on her body, and kicked Li Minghao's feet with extreme impatience.
"Hey! Ay! Hurry up! Meng Yi'er remembered that the night before, Li Minghao also said that he was used to going out at night and sleeping very lightly at night. Now it's just that Meng Li'er was knocked unconscious, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he shouted, which is really a great irony.
The strength on Meng Yi'er's feet unconsciously increased a few points.
"Hey! Get up! "Meng Yi'er has a tendency to have a manic outburst, and she is already looking around to see if there is a suitable stone.
"Hmm...... Shu Tan ...... "Just when Meng Li'er had already looked at a stone weighing more than a dozen catties and planned to move it over, Li Minghao finally stretched his waist and sat up from the ground.
He got up and kicked up a lot of dust, fluttering and shaking in the air.
"Huh? How are we here? What happened? Li Minghao looked around, and then looked at Meng Yi'er who was standing next to him.
"Are you awake?" Meng Qi'er came over and picked up Li Minghao, who hadn't gotten up for a long time.
"I knocked you unconscious last night, and then that's it." Meng Yi'er said coldly.
The surrounding villagers saw that there was no excitement to see, and they had already scattered and went to their own businesses.
Seeing that there were no idlers around, Li Minghao asked, "So...... Didn't you get on the hook last night? ”
"What do you think?" The joints of Meng Yi'er's two hands clicked and clicked.
Li Minghao swallowed his saliva, found a big tree from a distance, hid underneath, and felt a sense of security, before he asked again: "Yi'er, did you stun me yesterday so that we could get out of the ghost realm without interference?" Then you...... How to get rid of it? ”
Meng Li'er also hid under the big tree, although it was only a summer morning, and the heat was not unbearable, but the ultraviolet rays were still unforgiving, and Meng Li'er didn't want to tan.
"It's easy." Meng Qi'er hugged her shoulders, took a leisurely attitude, and said, "Just knock the back of your head back." ”
"Huh?!" Li Minghao stretched out a thumb and exclaimed: "Brother Yi'er, you are really a man!" ”
"That'...... That...... Little harmonic they ......" When Li Minghao asked this sentence, he was obviously very weak-hearted.
Sure enough, Meng Yi'er glanced at Li Minghao and said in a low voice: "Don't you have anything else to say?" ”
Li Minghao's tiger body was shocked, and he obviously saw Meng Yi'er's eyes narrowed slightly, you know, this is a prerequisite for her to be full of murderous desire to kill.
Li Minghao did this knowing that he could not do it.
After being silent for a long time, Meng Li'er opened her mouth and said, "Mouse, did you hear the rooster's crowing just now?" ”
"Rooster?" Li Minghao was shocked, after all, he woke up much later than Meng Qi'er.
"Hmm." Meng Li'er nodded, as soon as she woke up, she felt that there was something different from yesterday, she observed it carefully, and recalled it for a long time, only to understand that it turned out that the different place was actually here.
"What's wrong with the rooster? Isn't the rooster supposed to crow in the morning? Li Minghao looked demented and said: "I remember that there was a children's song when I was a child!" I'll sing it to you! ”
"The sun is shining brightly, and the rooster sings three ......"
"Ouch!"
Li Minghao touched a big bag knocked out by Meng Yier on the top of his head, and said with a face full of grievances: "Aren't people just singing a song...... Why are you so fierce......
Meng Li'er ignored him, looked at the surrounding villages and said to herself: "Since we entered this Youshui Village yesterday, we haven't heard any animal movements, even the old ginger's mule called 'Dandan' has not made any more noise, and the village has not even heard a dog barking, nor has I heard any sound." I once thought that there was no one else in this village except the village chief, the old ginger head, the villager who cooked, and the widow who ran away, but this morning, not only did there be a lot of people, but also a lot of animal sounds, don't you think it's particularly strange? ”
Li Minghao's expression was serious, and he thought for a long time before responding: "Yes! That's right! ”
Meng Yi'er thought that he had made some new discovery, and was about to listen to it.
Unexpectedly, Li Minghao opened his mouth very seriously and continued: "I also feel very wrong, I rarely sleep at night, even if I am knocked out by you, I will not sleep so soundly later, I don't even have a dream." It turns out that it is because the people in this village have a very good quality of sleep! Even the animals sleep so ......."
"Ouch!"
Li Minghao touched the other bag on the top of his head that Meng Li'er had just beaten, and this time he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"This village is just like a normal village now, and it was really abnormal that there was no movement last night." Meng Qi'er nodded and said.
"Could it be that we entered a fake Youshui Village?" Li Minghao said casually.
Meng Qi'er's eyes seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and she opened her eyes wide and said, "You say...... We entered a fake Yushui Village? ”
"Huh?" Lee Myung-ho didn't know why.
"Yes, maybe we really entered a fake Youshui Village? Maybe last night's one was the fake Yushui Village? Meng Yi'er said word by word.
"Oops!" Li Minghao shouted in shock, slapped his thigh hard, and said, "That little harmonic will be in danger!" They didn't even realize that they had entered the fake Youshui Village! ”
Meng Yi'er hurriedly lowered her voice and shouted: "Mouse, don't shout!" We don't know if this is really Youshui Village in front of us, the wall has ears, everything must be cautious! ”
Li Minghao realized that he was out of shape, he quickly closed his mouth and whispered: "Yi'er, let's hurry up and find Xiao Harmonic and them!" ”
Meng Li'er nodded, without further ado, she found a fellow villager and asked for directions, and Li Minghao and the two walked along the dirt road to the village chief's house.
People in the mountain village go to bed early and get up earlier, although the time is only more than six o'clock in the morning, but almost every household has gotten up, sweeping the yard, carrying water, there are also those who wander on the street, there are also those who come out early to bask in the sun, and the villagers in the township are short in the east and west, so it is not lively.
It turns out that this Youshui Village is not only not a deserted village, on the contrary, it is also very popular.
Meng Li'er just looked at the surrounding crowd and environment coldly, and occasionally curious children came over to laugh, but she didn't react, she only knew how to dodge.
The rest of the villagers didn't seem to be too curious about Meng Li'er and Li Minghao, just glanced at them and went their separate ways.
It is precisely this point that Meng Lier does not understand.
Youshui Village is obviously a closed mountain village, the transportation is inconvenient, few people come, even if someone comes, most of them come to seek medical advice in the name of the old doctor of Youshui Village, people in the mountain village often do not know much, see Meng Meng'er and Li Minghao walking on the road, is there no curiosity?
Meng Qi'er didn't speak, and the pace under her feet quickened a little.
"Look! In front of it is the village chief's house! Li Minghao's eyes were good, and he pointed to a courtyard and said.
Of course, the courtyard wall of the village chief's house is much higher than that of other people's houses, so it is not surprising that Li Minghao can recognize it at a glance.
"Courtyard walls?" Thinking of this, Meng Yier still had lingering feelings about the scene of the "paper man" sitting on the wall last night. She took a closer look at the courtyard wall of the small courtyard next to her, this family was obviously not too wealthy, and the courtyard wall was more than a little shorter than the village chief's house, and even only half the height of the village chief's house. This courtyard wall is made of stone, wrapped in mud outside, it is the most common old-fashioned earthen courtyard wall, because of disrepair, the courtyard wall will inevitably have broken and long grass places, and many places have exposed stones, this is the case in almost every house.
However, the horror is that just above the wall of this low courtyard wall, it is ...... There was a round pit! It's as if there were people who had ever sat there, and often sat there, so that the stone section of the pit had become very smooth, and it was the roundness caused by the long friction.
Meng Li'er's heart was beating wildly, if this pit was real, then the ghost realm in the middle of the night last night was not as simple as the ghost realm, she quickly looked around, and found that there were such pits on the courtyard walls of every household, and they were all very smooth without exception.
"Qi'er, what's wrong?" Li Minghao was stunned when he saw Meng Qi'er looking around nervously, and quickly turned back and asked.
Meng Li'er opened her mouth and said, "No...... It's nothing...... There are a lot of strange things in this village, so let's be careful and find them quickly! ”
Time goes back a few hours ago, about three o'clock in the morning.
Li Minghao chased Meng Meng'er out of the door, leaving the sluggish He Huan, standing desolate and desolate in the courtyard.
"Xiao Harmonic, although I'm still a virgin ^ man who has never been in love." When the Taoist chief said this, his old face didn't even blush, he touched his beard, and through the miserable white moonlight, he continued: "I also know that what you just did was excessive. ”
He Huan didn't speak, and he didn't know that he was indeed a little too close to Duan Qingqing, but that was only because of his sympathy and favor, and he didn't have anything to do with any feelings, and he and Meng Qi'er were also in a hurry to say some cold words, which was not what he really thought at all. The words that he had no choice but to say were like water spilled out, and he couldn't get it back, and he stood where he was, regretting it in every possible way, and it was to no avail.
"Xiao Harmonic, why don't we chase it out and have a look." The Taoist Governor suggested.
"Good!" He Huan agreed, he really didn't worry about Meng Qi'er running around in this wilderness, not to mention that if there were any demons and monsters, even if there were a few ruffians and hooligans, she would be extremely dangerous.
"Then I'll go back and get something, wait for me!" The Taoist chief admonished, turned around and went back to the west room.
He Huan sighed, paced two steps in the courtyard, and when he faced the guest room to the east, he thought that it was not a way to leave Duan Qingqing alone at the village chief's house, this Youshui Village was mysterious, and they were all here for the first time.
He couldn't do such a thing.
Thinking of this, He Hui walked to the east guest room in three steps and two steps, raised his hand and wanted to knock on the door.
The Taoist chief happened to come out of the west guest room, and when he saw He Harmony wanting to knock on the door, he quickly opened his mouth to stop him: "Xiao Harmony, what are you going to do?" ”
The Taoist didn't dare to be too loud, for fear of making a noise to Duan Qingqing and causing an incident for no reason, that girl had just made trouble, and now the Taoist didn't want to provoke her, he always felt that she was much more terrible than Meng Li'er's straight temper.
