Chapter 11 Cat Spirit Mountain
Early the next morning.
The old osmanthus boiled porridge and put it on the old table next to it, and on the generous table were two plates of slender and long peasant kimchi.
One dish has a lot of homemade chili oil, and the other dish is the same as the one fished out of the jar.
"Come, come, sit, sit." Village Chief Lao Li greeted warmly.
Outside the eaves, the sky had just brightened.
Gu Yan and Zhu Wen sat down, Sun Da and the others didn't react at all, and looked at Old Li Village Chief and Old Osmanthus with strange eyes.
"Little girl, why don't you eat it?"
The old osmanthus wiped her hands on the apron and looked up at Li Yixin, Li Yixin smiled awkwardly, looking at the ancient saying that she was eating kimchi and drinking porridge with a look of enjoyment.
“”
Li Yixin opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to remain silent.
"What? Are you not hungry? ”
Village Chief Li, who was sitting opposite Gu Yan, put the bowl of porridge on the table, and pushed the kimchi dish next to him to Gu Yan's side.
"Old osmanthus, help them put the porridge on it, they may be afraid of life."
Lao Li Village Chief was a little unhappy, Lao Osmanthus glanced at Lao Li Village Chief and immediately nodded in agreement, turned around, and carefully separated the bowls of porridge and put them on the table.
"Eh, you guys hurry up and eat, we'll go back after eating."
Gu Yan waved his chopsticks and said to Li Yixin, Zhu Wen also put down the bowl, glanced at Lao Li Village Chief and Lao Guihua, and immediately echoed Gu Yan and said, "That's right! After eating, we will go back, last night it was so windy and rainy that scared you, how dare we go to Maoling Mountain. ”
"That's it, that's it, how can you have the strength to lose weight if you don't eat enough?"
Gu Yan said a cold joke very inappropriately, no one laughed, and Gu Yan continued: "If you don't eat enough, how can you have the strength to go back?" Let's say okay first, no one is allowed to be coquettish, give me how to go back if you come here! ”
Hearing the serious words of the ancient saying, Village Chief Li and his wife glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces, and Village Chief Li said happily: "It's good to understand, it's good to understand, eat, come, eat."
Gu Yan said this, they had to sit down to eat, next to Gu Yan was Lao Li, the two of them seemed to be more and more speculative the more they talked, and they didn't care about other people's mood at all.
Except for Gu Yan and Lao Li, everyone else was silent, each with their own concerns.
After breakfast, the air is fresh and the scenery is pleasant after the rain.
"I'll get you out, I know there's a shortcut to the outside, and I think you're coming in by a detour."
Village Chief Lao Li stood at the door with his hands behind his back, half-tilting his head and looking at the translucent sky outside through the eaves.
"Our things are all packed, Yixin Golden Bell you go to pack up your things, and we'll go back when we're done."
Gu Yan ordered seriously, turned around and walked two steps forward to stand beside the village chief of Lao Li, turned his head to see that Li Yixin and they didn't move, and then turned around and continued to instruct: "Wenzi, you go and help them clean up, and I'll chat with grandpa."
After Gu Yan finished speaking, he went out behind the old village chief Li, and Zhu Wen walked silently to Li Yixin's room, and Li Yixin followed behind Zhu Wen.
Jin Ling watched Gu Yan go out with Village Chief Li, stood in place and thought about it, and returned to his room.
Sun Da went back to the room and moved his luggage out of the eaves, and when he looked up, Gu Yan and Lao Li Village Chief were standing on the ridge and talking about something.
Sun Da saw the golden bell appear at the door of their room, turned around and happily went to carry the luggage for the goddess.
Now that he has finally decided to go back, Sun Da's heart can't be happier!
Zhu Wen helped Li Yixin carry the suitcase, and all the things were stacked outside the door, Sun Da looked at the luggage he had worked so hard to move from the top of the mountain, and he was still a little reluctant to leave.
Gu Yan stood on the ridge of the field and beckoned to them, and Village Chief Lao Li turned his back to them and was thinking about something.
Sun Da handed Gu Yan's backpack to him, Gu Yan carried the bag and said lightly: "Let's go, we have to bother Grandpa to send us out."
Gu Yan turned his head to look at Village Chief Lao Li, and Village Chief Lao Li also turned his head when he came back to his senses, raised his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, let's go now, otherwise it won't be so easy to go out when it's dark."
Village Chief Lao Li walked in front, turned the corner of the house, and happened to be in front of Old Lady Jiang's house, when she heard the sound, she also walked to the yard, and saw Village Chief Lao Li with them, looked up at them and asked with a smile: "Are you leaving?"
"Yes, let's go! Granny Jiang, they, let's go! Village Chief Li raised his voice and shouted.
"Okay, good, good, gone."
Old Lady Jiang was still dressed in white and walked next to them, everyone thought that she was here to talk to Old Li Village Chief, but they didn't expect that Old Lady Jiang stopped beside Li Yixin and said softly: "Little girl, come down, I have something to say to you."
"Huh?"
Li Yixin was dragged away by her before she could agree, and said while pulling back: "Leave the things here, let's talk."
After speaking, he said to Village Chief Li: "Village Chief Li, I'll talk to this little girl for a while, you wait."
"Then hurry up."
"I know."
Old Lady Jiang pulled Li Yixin to a corner of her yard, where there happened to be a big walnut tree, and the leaves were floating everywhere, and Old Woman Jiang stood under the walnut tree Li Yixin stood beside her.
She didn't know what Granny Jiang wanted to say to her, it was awkward to stand under the walnut tree, Li Yixin was still a little afraid of Granny Jiang, and always felt that she had always been weird.
"Little girl, I know you have to go to Maoling Mountain, I tell you how to go to Maoling Mountain, don't let them know if you get it, especially Village Chief Li, ah."
Old woman Jiang stuffed something like a piece of paper into Li Yixin's right palm.
"What is this?"
Li Yixin looked at Mrs. Jiang, she just smiled and continued: "This is the map of going up to Maoling Mountain, you can go to Maoling Mountain, I drew the map for you." But here is only the map to Maoling Mountain, the mountain of Mode, I can only help you get here. ”
"Huh?"
"Little girl, listen to me."
Li Yixin was even more dazed in his heart, and he didn't know what to say with his nod at all.
"Fifteen go to Maoling Mountain, that is the best time to go to Maoling Mountain, remember not to miss it. Also, you can't show the map to others, remember? Little girl, you'd better memorize the map!
Also, you will meet a pair of twin siblings before the fifteenth of this month, remember that you should call you to go with you, it will be of great help to you. Okay, I'm done, remember every word I said to you, and now you can go. ”
Li Yixin was confused by Mrs. Jiang's words, and when she reacted, she was already gone, and only saw her white back, the same as last night.
Li Yixin watched in a daze as Granny Jiang entered the house and watched her close the door.
After being stunned for a while, he turned around and walked to Gu Yan and them, and quietly hid the piece of paper in his pocket.
"What's wrong? Yixin, she didn't embarrass you. ”
Zhu Wen asked quietly in the back, Li Yixin nodded and was silent, and Zhu Wen saw that she was absent-minded and did not continue to ask.
Everyone in the group was speculating about what Mrs. Jiang said to Li Yixin, especially the old village chief Li who was walking in the front wanted to ask, but it was not easy to ask, so they had to not ask.
They walked out from behind Granny Jiang's house, where there was a road, not a concrete road, but much better than a thorny road.
Old Lady Jiang stood by the window of her house, she didn't turn on the light, and it was dark by the window with wooden sticks, she kept staring at Li Yixin and they walked away, and gradually disappeared into her eyes.
Old Osmanthus was at home cleaning up the quilt they had covered last night, and sat on the edge of the bed alone and sighed.
After walking for a while, they found a cement road, on which there were occasional cars running around, most of them were agricultural vehicles, loaded with grain and vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish and meat, but they didn't see private cars.
Sun Da put his luggage on the road and stretched his waist, and sighed excitedly: "It's finally here, haha, there will be a soft bed in the hotel to sleep in a while."
Gu Yan looked ahead, and could vaguely see a huge building, guessing that it was the hotel that Sun Da was talking about.
bowed his head, took out a wad of money from his wallet at random, walked to the side of Lao Li Village Chief without being humble or arrogant, bowed, and said politely: "Thank you grandpa for sending us back here, the money here is our house money, thank you and your mother-in-law for taking care of us so much."
Village Chief Lao Li waved his hand and took a few steps back, and said kindly: "Everyone who comes is a guest, if you are here to play, I can collect money and ask you to stay longer, but you forget it, don't talk about it." I can't ask for money, and I won't ask for it, you can do it yourself, and I don't want to see you again. ”
After speaking, Village Chief Li turned around and left, without the slightest intention of staying, as if they were very annoying as the ancient saying.
Gu Yan smiled and stuffed the money into his backpack casually and said loudly: "Let's go!" People are driving us away, so we shouldn't be so thick-skinned, let's go."
Gu Yan spoke loudly, deliberately wanting to let the village chief Lao Li not far away hear it, and when the village chief Lao Li heard Gu Yan's words of certainty, he thought that they had really decided to go back, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and returned the same way, wanting to rush back before it was dark.
Everyone watched Village Chief Lao Li walk away, and Gu Yan and Zhu Wen tacitly looked at each other, and the corners of their lips were hooked.
"Brother Gu Yan, we're not going to leave like this, are we?" The golden bell was obviously unwilling, but it was helpless.
"How is that possible!"
Gu Yan looked in the direction of Village Chief Lao Li, then turned back and said with a smile: "I lied to him, of course we have to go to Maoling Mountain."
The golden bell laughed when he heard Gu Yan's affirmative answer, and Sun Da let out a disappointed "ah" behind him, but no one paid attention to him.
"In the middle of the night, Mosako and I moved out of the tent and hid in that old house, do you know what I saw when Momiko and I went out?"
Gu Yan said it vividly, Jin Ling listened carefully, and asked eagerly and expectantly, "Brother Gu Yan, what do you see?" ”
"Cat footprints."
"Ahh Sun Da shouted, puzzled in his heart.
"Why are there cat footprints, why don't I see anyone who has a cat?!"
"yes, that's what I find weird. I thought I could go to Maoling Mountain from that village, but I didn't know where the specific entrance was, so I discussed this with Wenzi to convince them that we were really leaving. ”
Gu Yan smiled, and Zhu Wen continued: "Now we have to live here, I believe that old man will definitely send someone to see if we are really still living here, or he may also come to see in person, of course he will not let us know."
"I've got to find out where the cat's footprints came from."
Gu Yan said seriously, "Then, how do you check?" Sun Da asked, after finding out that this was just a scam, Sun Da was very disappointed, no wonder he felt that his luggage was a lot lighter, it turned out that he was hidden by Gu Yan.
"Hehe, eat and drink first."
Li Yixin stood next to them with an absent-minded look, not paying attention to what they were saying at all.
