Chapter 6 The heart is turbulent and looking for the deceased
The aunt called the two people under the tree into the house for dinner, looking at the food on the table, Xiangli's eyes widened, it was the first time to eat such a thing.
There was still one pheasant left from the second uncle, so the aunt stewed it hot, and praised it while eating, it turned out that there was such delicious food in the world.
After the meal, the aunt boiled the water and asked Xiangli and Bai Yuzhou to take a bath. Xiangli soaked in a wooden bucket filled with hot water, playing with water with joy, thinking that this place was really fun, she had seen things she had never seen before, and she had eaten such delicious food, and now she felt so comfortable soaking in this hot water.
She rolled her eyes, stretched out her hand and waved it in the air, and the fragrance filled the whole room, only to see countless osmanthus petals in the air, which fell into the barrel one after another, and she continued to play happily.
After she finished grooming, Bai Yuzhou couldn't be found anywhere, and her aunt told her that Bai Yuzhou was still taking a bath, and she was going to go to Bai Yuzhou without saying a word.
She ran to the front of the house and was about to push the door in, but the aunt hurriedly came over and grabbed her, saying that there is a difference between men and women, and when taking a bath, you must not let the opposite sex see it, otherwise your innocence will be lost.
Is there a difference between men and women? What does this difference between men and women mean? Xiangli frowned suspiciously, and asked puzzledly: "I've seen Bai Yuzhou take off his pants and take a break, why can't I watch him take a bath?"
Ahem, someone in the room who was taking a shower heard this and almost drowned in the barrel, why does this girl always speak so without brains?
When the aunt heard this, her face was embarrassed, she was still embarrassed to say such things after living so old, how could this little girl still say such a righteous and awe-inspiring look?
Also, listening to Xiangli say this, it seems that this nephew must marry someone else's girl, alas, she has to go to see the yellow calendar and choose a good day as soon as possible.
In the middle of the night, the cool autumn wind blows off the osmanthus flowers on the ground, the hazy moonlight shrouds the quiet and peaceful village, and the thick fragrance of osmanthus accompanies people to fall asleep.
While Xiangli was lying on the bed and looking at the sleeping aunt beside her, she quietly turned over, thinking about the conversation with the giant python spirit during the day.
The giant python said that because of her appearance, the demon world was ready to move, and said that this village would always bring disaster because of her. Just as she was about to ask what was going on, Bai Yuzhou's long sword flew over......
She frowned, still unable to understand what the python meant. Forget it, it's good to stay here for a few days anyway, she just wants to come and find an answer, and when she finds the man and asks for clarification, she'll go back and go back to where she came from.
The next morning, after breakfast, he pulled Bai Yuzhou out of the door, and the aunt looked at the back of the two leaving, smiled and shook her head.
"Miss Xiangli, why did you pull me out early in the morning?" Bai Yuzhou shook off Xiangli's hand and looked around, but fortunately no one saw it.
"Come with me to someone. Xiangli stepped forward and continued to hold Bai Yuzhou's hand, walking forward by himself.
"Looking for someone, didn't you say that you don't have any relatives here?" Bai Yuzhou was a little puzzled.
Xiangli paused, scratched his head and said, "Uh, that...... It's just that I see a person who feels very familiar, and I want to see if I have made a mistake. ”
Okay, Bai Yuzhou had no choice but to follow Xiangli forward, only to see her walk in front of the farmer who stopped yesterday.
Through the low fence, Xiangli looked at the old man in the courtyard steadily, Bai Yuzhou was about to say that it was rude to stand at the door of the house like this, but Xiangli had already walked straight towards the open door.
"Hey, Miss Xiangli...... Xiangli ...... You wait......" Bai Yuzhou couldn't stop her, so he could only follow in.
Xiangli walked into the courtyard and saw the old man watering the flowers and plants planted in the courtyard. When the old man saw someone coming, he raised his head and asked, "Little girl, who are you looking for?"
Xiangli walked into the eyes of the old man, yes, it was him!
"You ......" Xiangli was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Bai Yuzhou, who was following.
"I'm sorry old man, we have traveled a long way through here, and we are a little thirsty, I wonder if the old man can make it convenient?" Bai Yuzhou pulled the corner of Xiangli's clothes and glanced at her, and then told a small lie to the old man.
It was rude for them to break into someone's house so abruptly, and he didn't know what Miss Xiangli was going to do.
The old man smiled kindly, called his wife to bring a tea bench from the house, and greeted them. Bai Yuzhou took the tea and politely thanked the old man, but Xiangli kept staring at the old man and didn't say anything.
Bai Yuzhou greeted the old man, and the old man looked at him with a sword behind him, and asked him if he was a person who practiced martial arts, saying that he also wanted to practice martial arts when he was young, but unfortunately his qualifications were poor, and he could only be a scholar who danced and wrote.
The old woman joked on the side that she had taken a fancy to him as a talented scholar back then, and if he was a martial artist who could only wield a sword and use brute force, she would never marry him.
Bai Yuzhou echoed and laughed with the old man, but Xiangli on the side never made a sound.
Suddenly, Xiangli asked, "I wonder if the old man can blow Xiao?"
The old man smiled, stroked his beard and said, "This is naturally possible, I think my wife was touched by my Xiao Sheng!"
Xiangli's eyes sank, and she took out a wooden flute from her cuff, and she handed it to the old man, "Then I wonder if the old man will play this wooden flute?"
The old man took the wooden flute and took a closer look, his smile suddenly froze, he looked at the wooden flute and then at Xiangli, and only after a while did he squeeze out a smile and said, "This wooden flute...... I didn't learn. ”
Xiang Li's eyes lit up, and he took the wooden flute and asked, "Have you never learned it, or have you forgotten it?"
The old man's expression suddenly became solemn, his old eyes showed sadness, he looked at Xiangli and asked suspiciously, "I don't know where the girl is from, what is her name?"
Xiangli stood up, looked at the old man's eyes seriously, and said word by word: "My name is Xiangli!"
The old man stood up in fright, shook his head incredulously with his trembling body, and muttered, "Impossible! Impossible! How can this be? How do you know this girl? Who are you?"
Seeing this, the old woman hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man sit down, and Bai Yuzhou also quickly pulled the corner of Xiangli's clothes and asked, "What's going on? Why is the old man so excited? What are you doing with him?"
Xiangli glanced at Bai Yuzhou and ignored him, she walked in front of the old man, and said in a questioning tone: "Do you remember the osmanthus tree at the entrance of the village?"
