Chapter 31: Touch
The rain outside the house does not stop, it was very small just now, but now it is very dense, Lu Xiaoruo left the Shi family with a Lingxu umbrella, he came here in a hurry, everything was not ready, now it is time to sort it out, and think about what was originally thought to be simple into complicated things. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When I came yesterday, it was night, and it was not bright on this mountain, so Lu Xiaoruo didn't see it clearly at all, but now that he is out of the Shi family, he can see this village clearly.
This is a small village on the mountain, the historian in the middle of the whole village, built on the back of the mountain, yes, there is a higher peak behind this, the village is on the edge of the fault cliff, from this point of view, you can still see the scene of the clouds and mist of the Wuyue Lingfeng on the opposite side, so relatively, and then go to the front is the dangerous cliff.
The small village households are scattered distribution, one here, one there, but the history is dominant, in recent years, it is estimated that Malu City is engaged in construction, so every household is not a tile house, it looks much more high-end, now it rains and no one goes out, Lu Xiaoruo went down, walked and saw the ancient well in front of him, that is the way up the mountain, there is a red bucket hanging on a hibiscus tree next to it, the folk often say that the hibiscus tree beckons snakes, now this tree should be able to catch up with the snake hibernation, after thinking about Lu Xiaoruo still a little can't help laughing.
When approaching the ancient well, Lu Xiaoruo Lu Xiaoruo stopped and took a look, Shi Amin had told them about the tragic death of the bride during the Republic of China on the train before, although Lu Xiaoruo felt that this matter was at most half believed (I don't know how much it was ghosted in the process of spreading falsehoods), but I still cared about it very much in my heart - why did I jump into the ancient pond and be hanged here? Lu Xiaoruo thought about it and leaned over to look into the well.
The ancient well is very deep and dark, Lu Xiaoruo has not seen the water at a glance, is this empty?
Lu Xiaoruo was thinking that a huge suction force suddenly came from the well, and he was caught off guard, and as soon as he lost his mind, the whole person was sucked down the ancient well......
……
"Hey, old butler? Old butler?! Gu Yiling ran after the old housekeeper behind, and the old housekeeper was terrified, "Editor-in-chief Gu, editor-in-chief Gu, I don't have anything to say to you, just let me go, please, Editor-in-Chief Gu." ”
"Hey, I just want to talk to you about the old lady, after all, I didn't make it clear before, let's talk." Gu Yiling ran in front of him and blocked his way, and the old housekeeper was in a hurry to stomp his feet, but he was helpless.
"Editor-in-Chief Gu, this is a matter for the historian, please, I have nothing to say, let me go." The old housekeeper was still pleading, and Gu Yiling, who insisted on it, shook his head, but withdrew half a step, "Old housekeeper, don't you want to know the cause of the old lady's death?" ”
"I, I know she committed suicide, she has always kept silent about her own thoughts, and this time she must have something on her mind." The old housekeeper repeated this sentence as if he was self-hypnosis, Gu Yiling looked at him, "It may be possible to die, but what does the third young lady Shi Luofeng say, I don't need you to talk about everything, I just need to know a little, for example, what is the reason for the existence of the Shi family......"
The old housekeeper was stunned, his eyes widened in horror, and Gu Yiling's eyes were firm, as if he had expected half of it......
……
"Huhu~Huhu~" Lu Xiaoruo hung at the mouth of the well and panted, she just put away the Lingxu umbrella in time, and put it horizontally at the mouth of the well at the moment it fell, the cold air on all sides was quite heavy, Lu Xiaoruo swayed a little, stepped on both ends of the well and climbed out. This ancient well is much more terrifying than her laurel tree, and if it is not good, it will be a fragrant jade.
Lu Xiaoruo climbed out of the well with difficulty, sat at the well to wipe her sweat, just took a foot, and suddenly felt a burning sight, she swallowed her saliva and looked up, an old man holding an umbrella was staring at her with wide eyes, his hands were trembling, but his legs couldn't move away, Lu Xiaoruo was soaked by the rain, and it was not surprising that the ghost of a "hibiscus out of the water" scared people.
"Old man......"
"Ah!!!h The old man threw away the umbrella in horror and staggered back, Lu Xiaoruo was also frightened, so he quickly climbed out and grabbed the old man in three steps and two steps, "Old man, old man, wait!" ”
"Snake Niangniang, Snake Niangniang, I didn't mean to offend you, please forgive me, please forgive me!" The old man knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed again and again, Lu Xiaoruo's family once said that it was a big disrespect to let the old man kowtow to you, so he knelt down with a plop, and explained while kowtowing, "Uncle, uncle, I'm not a monster, I'm a human, a person, I just accidentally fell into the well and just climbed up, it's true, uncle, don't kowtow, I have a headache!" ”
"Huh?" The old man stopped, looked at Lu Xiaoruo in a daze, and finally pinched her face, the real touch and warm face proved her identity, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, "I haven't seen the ghost snake Niangniang for more than sixty years, and I thought that this time I saw it was the end of the day." ”
Lu Xiaoruo hurriedly opened the umbrella and didn't let the old man get drenched, the old man felt a little angry, and blamed, "Which child are you, the ancient well here can't be approached casually, what about the lid on it?" After speaking, he glanced at the manhole cover, the manhole cover fell under the hibiscus tree, and there were a few wet yellow charms on it, "A good cover has to be taken away, you young people are becoming more and more disagreeable, what do you say advocating science, but you must always listen to the old saying, learn everything, just don't come back!" ”
"I know that I would rather believe it than not believe it, even if I don't believe it, I can't deny the possibility of it, I understand that I understand, and the manhole cover is definitely not lifted by me, it seems that the power of the charm is not enough, I will get a new one later." Lu Xiaoruo immediately explained clearly, although she has a big personality, she has been very strict since she was a child, especially for the elderly and some elders, in short, she has a clear concept of generation, she can joke, but she must not be nonsense.
After listening to Lu Xiaoruo's words, the old man softened his expression slightly, got up from the ground, walked to the manhole cover, picked up the manhole cover and carefully smoothed the spell on it, "There are few young people in this mountain, and it won't be long before our older generation dies, and no one will protect and respect the ghost snake Niangniang." The old man muttered to himself, and finally turned his head and asked, "Girl, who are you, you seem to be very young, and you went up the mountain together because of the recent major events in the Shi family?" ”
Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoruo immediately stroked his clothes and bowed his head respectfully, "I am an editor from Dream City, at first to help Mrs. Shi pray for blessings, and now I want to find out the cause of Mrs. Shi's death, so let's start with the ghost snake mother, uncle, can you talk to me?" ”
"Edit? Is it the kind that writes newspapers? The old man frowned.
"No, it's a magazine, a publication."
The old man pondered, probably thinking and hesitating, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Do you know how to play chess?" ”
