Chapter 379: Entering the Closed Gate Village by Mistake (3)
In the end, when I sat on the kang, I touched the bottom of the mattress as if something was pressing, and when I opened it, I didn't feel happy. Lying here quietly is my 'heavenly remnant'. Reaching out to take it, he carefully carried it into his arms, and looked up at the surroundings by the way, and there was no abnormality.
Since entering the village, not only the clothes and hairstyles have changed, but even many things on the body have mysteriously disappeared. However, there are exceptions, such as the Yuqin ornament around Sanzang's neck, and the wrench I wear on my hand. At first, I was also a little uneasy, after all, all the lethal things on my body were gone, and if something really happened, I couldn't deal with it for a while. Now that I have found the 'Heavenly Remnant', I suddenly have some bottom in my heart. In this hellish place, I knew it was all an illusion, but the problem was that it was all too real!
Sanzang didn't know what he muttered, his eyelids trembled a few times, he squinted and sat up, his eyes were empty, and he was stunned for three minutes before he came to his senses. Pointing to the pillow, "It's getting dark, why don't you call me." You can sleep for a while, I'll keep watch. After saying this, I saw the dagger exposed in my arms, pointed and asked, "This is not 'Heavenly Remnant'?" Where did you find it? ”
He yawned on the kang, "Before you go to bed, don't you say let me take a good look at this house?" Find it right here! ”
"Did you find anything else? Alas, how can I say that I will sleep and ask you! ”
Soon, the night was getting darker, and the villagers all packed up early and went to bed on the kang. The ancient tradition of sunrise and sunset is strictly observed. Sanzang and I ran out of the courtyard in the dark and chose a direction to go.
From time to time, the barking of dogs sounded in my ears, and all along the way, they were all very ordinary cottages. Some people's houses were pitch black, and they were obviously asleep, but the doors were wide open, and they were not afraid of thieves sneaking in.
Finally, I found a place that was different from other places. The house is built extremely tall and the materials are very exquisite, and it is the only place in the village that can be called luxurious. Constructed of the finest wood throughout, it is intricately carved, and through the window paper, there are faint rows of candlelight dancing inside.
As soon as he stood in front of the door of this house, he heard a girl's crisp voice coming from behind him, "Two big brothers, what are you doing standing here at night?" Be careful that your mother will be angry! ”
The back stiffened, and our perception was not weak, and when people approached from behind, they didn't even notice it at all. Stiffening his neck, he turned around a little stiffly, and looked down, intently looking. This is a little girl in a long skirt with wide sleeves and a long palace dress, with long silky hair draped behind her back, fixed with only a streamer. The big eyes are spinning, very smart, the corners of the mouth are lightly raised, it looks very cunning, and there is a red mole in the center of the eyebrows, which adds a bit of grace. The height is only as high as my thighs and Sanzang's, and it looks like he is three or four years old. At this moment, he was tilting his little head and staring directly at me and Sanzang.
"I couldn't sleep, it was too hot in the house, so I wanted to go out for a walk and blow the night breeze, but I didn't expect to walk and walk, so I came here." Sanzang stared at the girl's eyes with a natural expression.
The girl tilted her head to the other side and looked at Sanzang as if judging something, "Don't you know, you can't go out at night here?" This is a mother's rule, and no one dares to disobey it! ”
"Know, know, we are not、、、 this is not 、、、" was asked by the girl, Sanzang couldn't take it in an instant, who knew that there were such strange rules in this village, and everyone had to abide by them.
"Forget it, anyway, my mother is sleeping now, even if you two violate the rules, she won't know, what to do so much." The girl waved her hand nonchalantly, but Sanzang and I didn't miss the cunning in her eyes, and instead of relaxing, we were more alert, and we knew that there must be something to come.
Sure enough, a crisp child's voice sounded again, "However, you two have been caught by me, as long as I tell my mother, you will definitely suffer!" So ~~" A long and long crutch with an end note, with her expression, it is difficult not to wonder if her age is directly proportional to her appearance.
Now that the words have been said and what else is not understood, the interface asked, "So, what do you want us to do?" ”
The little girl smiled and clapped her hands, "Smart! No wonder it is written in the books that you have to deal with smart people! What I want you to do, in fact, is very simple, is to come out and play with me every night! By the way, my name is Long, and my mother calls me Ah Long. For the sake of playing with me, you are also allowed to call me Ah Long! ”
"Aaron? You mean, every night we're going to come out? What are you playing with? ”
"Of course, I have to come every day, and my mother only allows me to go out at night, but there is no one to play with me at night, even if it is good to talk. There have been people like you who have been caught by me without rules, but none of them have persevered. Ah Long is very angry, if you don't keep the agreement with Ah Long, I will let you know the consequences! ”
As he said this, Ah Long was leading us to the creek behind the house, and some distance from the candlelit house. After standing still, Sanzang asked, "Ah Long, who is your mother?" Why wouldn't she want you to go out during the day? ”
Ah Long glanced at Sanzang with a very contemptuous gaze, "I've already said it so clearly, you can't even guess it, I praised you for being smart before!" My mother, naturally, is the goddess you worship! With a smiling face, she mentioned her mother-in-law, and her face was full of admiration.
"Goddess?" Sanzang's gaze was secretly on me, all of them suspicious. suppressed his doubts, and nodded first in agreement to Ah Long's moving gaze, "As long as we are in the village for one day, we will come out to play with you at night." ”
Ah Long smiled and nodded, not finding any loopholes in my words, "Remember to talk about it!" ”
All night long, I deliberately asked Ah Long about the situation in the village, and she was not guarded, and always answered our questions casually. When it was about to dawn, Ah Long suddenly restrained the smile on his face and glanced at the house she called home, "I have to go back, you have to go too, otherwise your mother will find out!" ”
After all, it was just a blink of an eye, and it had already disappeared in place. (To be continued.) )
