Chapter 078: Strange Woman
When the Zhuang family returned home, it was late at night, they just cleaned up and lay down to sleep, only Shen Xi did not fall asleep. She held up the glass ball with roses in front of her eyes, and the moonlight hit it, shining like a moon pearl.
"Interesting." Shen Xi pinched it and played with it, refusing to leave his hand for a long time. Even though her soul has lived for more than 20 years, she has a girl's heart after all.
"Woo woo ......" There was a woman's cry in the night, grief and resentment, as miserable as an abandoned woman.
This is by no means Zhuang's cry, if she is sad, she will either be hysterical or sobbing, she will not be like a ghost.
It didn't take long for the strange cry to turn into a song, "I don't come every day, I don't see you every night, I want to ask what is the most bitter in the world, only lovesickness is the most annoying." ”
The more Shen Xi listened, the more annoyed he became, and he lifted the quilt to meet the woman who pretended to be a ghost in the middle of the night.
"Sister, I'm afraid." Shen Wang walked around the screen and walked towards Shen Xi.
Shen Xi took her in his arms and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid of my sister." Sister, go outside and take a look, pull out that woman and beat her, you dare to scare us Xiaowang. ”
Shen Wang pulled Shen Xi and asked, "Sister, are you leaving?" ”
"I'm not leaving, I'm going out to see. What is crying at night, it really hurts, so that my family Xiaowang can't sleep. Sister, it's to clean up people, don't worry, I'll be back soon. ”
Shen Wang said worriedly: "Sister, listening to the voice is a woman, don't be too heavy, it's not good to break it." It's not that she has been wronged during the day. ”
Shen Xi suppressed the urge to laugh and patted Shen Wang, "Wait for me to come back." ”
Out of the door, the woman's voice became clearer and clearer, and her singing voice was like crying, sighing, and crying, singing the woman's resentment, helplessness and longing.
Who is pretending to be a ghost at night? Xiao Hei in the courtyard squatted in a daze, not screaming or making trouble, looking straight at the side of the courtyard wall, as if his eyes could pass through the wall. Normally, it screams at night when it hears strange noises, but this time instead of screaming, it looks sad, like a human being.
Shen Xi pricked up her ears and walked towards the wall, she was sure that the voice was coming from the side. Although she only moved here today, she had been here many times before, and she had not seen anything unusual in the courtyard next to her. Could it be that today is a special day for that woman? Or see for yourself and come directly.
She lifted her legs and climbed up the wall, propped her hands on the edge of the wall, and looked out into the courtyard.
I saw that in the yard over there, there were osmanthus trees of different sizes, which were about to enter autumn, and there was a faint fragrance of osmanthus wafting in. She looked around and found a man in a red dress with long hair untied in the trees, and the wind blew and black hair flying, which was even more weird.
The woman suddenly turned around and looked at Shen Xi, and the singing stopped abruptly. Xiao Hei, who had been quiet, suddenly called out "woo, woo".
Even Shen Xi, who was as bold as an egg, couldn't help but be frightened, her body trembled slightly, and she almost fell. After the fright, there was the anger of being teased, and Shen Xi shouted angrily, "Hey, are you sick?" Want to scare people to death on a big night? ”
The woman under the osmanthus tree shook slightly, was stunned for a while, and then said, "I'm sorry, I was just sad in my heart and couldn't sleep, so I came out to sing." ”
"Can't sleep singing? It's unheard of! Shen Xi sneered: "You sing like a ghost, which scares our children." Stop singing! ”
"Aren't you a child?" The woman looked at the wall and walked up, as if to see the girl on the wall.
"I mean kids younger than me. If you have insomnia, it's not good to do something, you have to sing, how can people sleep when ghosts cry wolf howl in the middle of the night? ”
The woman seemed to be a little reluctant to go, "Then I won't sing." I'm really sorry, little girl, go back, the night wind blows, and it's easy to catch a cold. ”
Shen Xi didn't come down from the wall, but stared at her behind her. The horned rat, which had always been bigger than a rabbit, was staring at Shen Xi with its dark eyes. How did Haiming's little pet end up here? The horned rat only looked at Shen Xi for a moment, and then ran away.
The woman was frightened by Shen Xi's focused expression, and immediately turned around, but did not notice anything unusual. She opened her mouth and wanted to ask Shen Xi what he was watching. Shen Xi let go of his hand, jumped off the wall, and disappeared from the woman's sight.
After Shen Xi came down, he touched Xiao Hei's head and said, "It's just a stupid woman, go to sleep." ”
Little Black drilled back to his warm kennel. The kennel is made of wood, with dry straw underneath and tiles on top, making it sturdy and comfortable.
Every time Shen Xi saw this kennel, he felt that he was a great carpenter, even sorting out such complex things. She glanced triumphantly at the kennel and headed back inside.
Shen Wangburi was in the quilt, only revealing his two eyes, and looked out of the bed, waiting for Shen Xi to come back. As soon as she saw Shen Xi, she immediately sat up, "Sister, what's the matter?" Is it a youkai? ”
Shen Xi fanned his hands, "Where is the monster, it's the crazy woman in the courtyard next door, she can't sleep and sings outside, I asked her to stop singing, and she went back." It's okay, you can sleep. ”
Shen Wang blinked and asked, "Sister, can I sleep here tonight?" ”
"Yes."
That night, the two sisters, Shen Xi and Shen Wang, were crammed into a bed just like the old house in Shenwang Village, but this bed was far more comfortable than before.
The next day, as soon as the rooster crowed, Shen Xi picked a bamboo basket with a black iron rod and went out. The morning market in Yueting Town opened early, so she could go buy vegetables and vegetables and come back to cook. The morning market in the town is far more lively than imagined, as long as you have money, you can live a comfortable and comfortable life in this Yueting Town.
When Shen Xi came back, he saw that the door of the courtyard next door was open, so he glanced inside. Coincidentally, a young woman also looked this way. Look at this figure, it should be the crazy woman who sang last night.
This woman was dressed beautifully, with lovely appearance, eyebrows like Yuandai, red lips and white teeth, and wore a red dress. Shen Xi felt a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she didn't pay much attention to it, about this young woman, she liked to wear red dresses.
The young woman Shi Shiran came out and accosted Shen Xi, "Little girl, are you the one who climbed on the courtyard wall last night?" ”
"yes." Shen Xi said coldly.
The young woman's face was full of indebtedness, and she said: "My name is Ziyan, and I originally lived here with my husband, but it's a pity that my father-in-law didn't see me for a few years and left me here alone." I missed him last night, and I couldn't help but come out and sing his favorite songs. I thought there was no one living next to me, but I didn't want it to be someone. ”
Shen Xi saw that she was pitiful, and he didn't give her a look anymore, and said: "My name is Shen Xi, I live here with my mother and a pair of younger brothers, I just moved here yesterday, it's normal if you don't know." Just don't do that next time. ”
"It's natural." Purple Smoke smiled kindly.
