Chapter 49: A Strange Attitude

At the enthusiastic urging of the old village chief, I took two mouthfuls of rice in a row, and before I could raise my head, a chicken leg appeared in my bowl, and Bai Rui took the chicken leg and put it in my bowl, and then continued to eat with his head buried in it.

The atmosphere was a little strange, I looked at the old village chief embarrassedly, and found that he was looking at us with a smile, and said: "Xiaorui, this kid always ignores people, I haven't seen anyone he takes care of, and it seems that you two are very close!" ”

When I think of the ghost version of Bai Rui I saw in the middle of the night, I would rather have a disagreement with him than fall in love with him, he almost killed me last night, but now he has a strange and friendly attitude, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

"There is a thousand-year-old sycamore tree in the west of the village, legend has it that there was a phoenix that fell on it and sang, and let Xiaorui take you to see it after eating, listen to the old man, touch this tree to be the queen's mother!"

The old village chief put down his chopsticks, and said with his eyebrows dancing, I wondered in my heart, before going out in the morning, I asked him what attractions there were in the village, and he said no, and now he has made a magical ancient tree that can be a queen without abusing his heart and body, and fighting openly and secretly, which one are these two singing?

In all fairness, the old village chief's cooking skills are indeed not bad, except for the chicken leg that Bai Rui gave me is a little fishy, the taste of the other dishes is better than that made in the restaurant.

After eating, I went back to the house to rest, and after the hottest part of the day, Bai Rui came to me to go out, and I was about to get a word out of his mouth, so I followed him to see the thousand-year-old tree, of course, in order to prevent him from hurting people, I also recited a mantra in my heart, ready to do something with him at any time.

We walked along the main road of the village, towards the west, and met several villagers who greeted him on the way, and saw their gentle and friendly attitude, as if they did not know his abnormality; Thinking of the way he was floating around in the yard but couldn't get out, I probably guessed that the old village chief might have trapped him in some way so that he couldn't run out and be discovered by the villagers.

It's just that the way these villagers look at me makes me feel very distorted, and it is not surprising that there is inquiry in their eyes, because there are few outsiders in the village, but why do I still see a kind of forbearance in their eyes?

We walked out of the village and walked along a path into the mountains, and the more we walked, the more desolate it became, and even if I had skills, I didn't dare to hold it up, so I pretended to be tired and stopped to rest, and asked Bai Rui:

"How far away? If it's too far away, I won't look at it, I'm tired today. ”

Bai Rui pointed to the position halfway up the mountain, where there was indeed a towering tree, the village was full of flowers, compared with the sparse small trees around, it can be said that the wood is beautiful in the forest, but there is no wind to urge it.

"You're the only kid in your family?" I opened the subject and asked.

Bai Rui nodded, I found that there is still a difference between him and Wu Feng, Wu Feng is the only son of the Wu family, and his education and growth experience since he was a child have cultivated him with decisive self-confidence and sleek and sophisticated character.

And Bai Rui was born in an ordinary peasant family, and when he was a normal person, he felt a little inferior, his eyes always avoided the gaze of others, and his head was lowered, giving people the impression of melancholy and autism.

I think I can rule out the possibility that he is a replicant, and the conjecture of the twins has also been denied by Sanjiu and Jin Sanfat, is it really that I am thinking too much?

Seeing that I had stood for a long time and had no intention of continuing to walk, he pointed to the tree again, and then continued to walk there, and I had no choice but to follow, not daring to let my guard down all the way.

We came to the halfway up the mountainside under the thousand-year-old plane tree, the lilac flower cluster hanging noodle branches, its flower fragrance I like very much, in my hometown, oh, it is not in Li Miaoxue's hometown, after coming out to work, I saw with my own eyes the plane tree in this 'sycamore to treat each other, mandarin ducks will die'.

Smelling the refreshing fragrance of flowers, watching the distant mountains cascading, the blue sky and flowing clouds, not to mention the scenery is indeed beautiful.

Suddenly, something passed over my ears, and I was about to say that the spell of the puppet technique was about to be released, but I found that there was just an extra flower in my ear.

"Send you" Bai Rui took out a small notebook and handed it to me with the next two words on it.

I was almost scared away by him, and after seeing the two words he wrote, I was annoyed that I had overreacted just now, and the act of sending flowers didn't seem to be suitable for two people who had only known each other for a day, but they sent it, and if I threw it away immediately, it hurt my self-esteem.

I believe that no one wears a flower as uncomfortable as I wear, as if the ear is not a flower is **, fortunately, when I went down the mountain, I finally thought of an excuse to pick the flower and hold it in my hand.

As I walked back, I asked, "Why is your village called Ling Village?" Any allusions? ”

He thought about it and wrote: The old people said that the village has a strong aura, and the phoenix was attracted by the aura here before settling down.

I nodded in pretending to believe and said, "Oh, it's called Lingcun because of its heavy aura... Alas~ I just forgot to touch the tree, it seems that I don't have a chance to be a queen! ”

Bai Rui suddenly stopped to look at me, those black eyes turned from bright to bottomless, like two black whirlpools, I was very uncomfortable by him, and was about to speak, but he returned to normal again, and continued to walk, without looking at me.

I hurriedly caught up a few steps and said: "I especially like the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, I often hear about the land of Qilu, you belong to the territory of Lu here, there must be a lot of ancient tombs at that time, do you know what famous tombs are?" I'd like to stop by! ”

He waved his hand at me, meaning no, I deliberately showed a disappointed look, and sighed: "It's a pity, it seems that the novels are all fake, how can there be so many magical tombs in the world." ”

I felt that I couldn't dig up any useful information from Bai Rui, so I casually talked about a few innocuous topics, trying to make him able to answer with a nod and a shake, and it was a pleasant chat along the way!

It was evening when I returned to the village, and I didn't see Bai Rui come out during dinner, he was still eating in his own house, and Jin Sanpang sat at the table, glancing at me and the door of the inner room.

He and Sanjiu came back one step earlier than Bai Rui and me, and when they saw the two of us entering the door together, Jin Sanfat's expression became very exciting, and the round eyes on the fat face were like copper bells.

Sanjiu must have told him about Bai Rui's abnormality, and he may have wondered how I could go on a trip with the person who wanted to kill me last night.

But because the old village chief was beside me, I couldn't explain it to them, and when everyone went back to the house to rest after dinner, I told them about the afternoon.

"It's best not to go out alone with him in the future, I can't figure out where he's coming from."

"Well, I think he's weird, too. By the way, I asked him about the origin of the village, and he said that it was named because of the aura. ”

"We also talked to a few villagers who went into the mountains, and they said the same thing."

"What do you think?"

"The range is too wide, we are not good at finding dragon points, and no one can enter without the mausoleum guards."

"Then the focus is still on finding the tomb keeper."

"Do you want to stop looking for the kid who gave me information?" Jin Sanpang finally said the first words after entering the house.

He should be talking about the insider who shook out the matter of guarding the mausoleum for the sake of selling local goods, I looked at Sanjiu, he thought for a while, and said:

"Okay, Xuewa will go with us tomorrow."
