The two sighed in agreement and looked at the carriage.

"When will Shu Yao wake up, is she okay? The porridge is ready. Feng Wuya said with concern.

"I'll take a look."

Nie Tianxi had just taken two steps when he heard the fat aunt's cry of pain, stopped and looked at Feng Wuya, and asked, "Brother Feng's high hall is still alive?" ”

Feng Wuya's face sank, and he said in a low voice, "It's gone." I don't have any relatives, Tianxi, don't drive me away. ”

"How could it be possible to drive you? My sister and I don't have any relatives anymore. He walked to the carriage again.

Feng Wuya sighed again, this sigh was his own life experience, his father's appearance had gradually blurred in his mind, but his mother's smile seemed to be imprinted in his heart, and he couldn't forget it. Especially on the last side, she and her little sister chose to die and keep the hope of life to themselves.

Is it really good to just live like this? He remembered the days when he was bullied when he didn't arrive at the theater troupe, and looked up at the sky. The sky was blue, and suddenly he remembered something, and said to himself, "I seem to have an older brother who I have never met?" ”

When his family was in trouble, he was not big, but he only remembered that his mother told him vigorously that he wanted to live, and he must live. I can't remember anything else.

"Mother seems to have mentioned it." Feng Wuya thought about it again and again, and slowly became less sure.

In the carriage, Nie Shuyao was still asleep, and the stupid girl hadn't woken up yet.

Nie Tianxi sighed softly, "Sister, I just found out now that my sister does so many things every day...... ”

At this moment, the fat aunt's shouting became more and more frequent, this was the rhythm of being born, but Nie Tianxi didn't understand, and was still talking to Nie Shuyao.

Although I don't know if she can hear it, she whispered again: "Sister, Brother Feng has boiled porridge, you can get up and drink a little." Eat something before sleeping. ”

"Got it." His fragmented thoughts finally woke up Nie Shuyao.

Nie Shuyao opened his eyes and smiled softly at him, "I'm fine, I just lost my strength just now." Just eat and drink! ”

She was pulled up by Nie Tianxi and asked, "Have you ever drunk ginger soup for Benya?" ”

"Brother Feng gave her a drink."

"Xi'er, you go out first, and I'll apply some medicine to the stupid girl's wounds."

After Nie Tianxi got out of the car, Nie Shuyao took out a small medicine box, took out the ointment and applied it to the injured place of the stupid girl little by little. First the wrists and ankles, the scars seemed to have been tightly strangled with ropes for a long time, and the strangled places were a little bloody and blurry.

"I'm sorry, I was so tired just now. Now I can give you the medicine carefully, you bear with it. Nie Shuyao muttered to herself, but the movements in her hands did not stop.

Maybe the strangulation marks are too heavy, and when the medicine is applied, the stupid girl's body instinctively dodges.

Nie Shuyao carefully examined the scars again, and found that they didn't look like they were strangled with a rope, but more like they were cut with some kind of rope covered with jagged teeth.

This scar is not only on the hands and ankles, but also on the legs, arms, and even on the neck, but this one is not deep, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

After realizing this situation, Nie Shuyao took off the little girl's shirt again, and saw that her back was also like this. It is equivalent to the whole body seems to be bound by this sawtooth rope, and if you want to get rid of it, you must first shed your skin. This would also explain why when she was pulled up, she couldn't pull it.

"Is there really such a thing under that whirlpool? Is it artificial? Nie Shuyao frowned.

Sweeping the little girl's scarred back, she suddenly saw a finger-sized red mark, which was not obvious in the scars. Fortunately, it was not covered by the scars, otherwise Nie Shuyao would not have known that the stupid girl was assassinated.

Just imagine, the legend of the water ghost in Qingshui Village has been passed down for an unknown amount of time, and the people who live here must know that the whirlpool in the river is very dangerous, and they also know that it will be okay to avoid the whirlpool. How could you deliberately go to the whirlpool?

It seems that the stupid girl fell into it after washing clothes in a safe place by the river. The Qingshui River is in front of the village, and the water for eating and drinking can be obtained from other places, but you can still go to the river for things like washing clothes.

After treating the wound for the stupid girl, he checked her pulse again and got out of the car after confirming that it was okay.

I had fallen asleep a little drowsy just now, but it would have been much better, and after I had drunk two bowls of porridge at the table, and then I had eaten dry food, and then I was refreshed, but I was still floating when I walked with too much force.

After the meal, Nie Shuyao changed back into women's clothes and wore a very ordinary skirt, which was just more neat than the clothes of the people in the mountains and wilderness, and the clothes were not very good.

But she wore her own style, made an egg soup herself, and came to the fat aunt's house with a few cooked eggs.

It's not easy for a woman to have a baby, and it's noon, and the fat aunt is still in pain. The sound of "It's almost fast" was also heard from time to time in the house.

Outside, the yellow-faced man paced back and forth anxiously.

Nie Shuyao nodded to him and pushed the door directly inside, and before Wen Po could speak, she took the lead and said, "I'll bring some food to my aunt." She hadn't eaten in the morning, so she had no strength. ”

came to the fat aunt who looked like she had collapsed, and said, "Auntie, drink the soup first and eat all these eggs." Only after eating can I have the strength to give birth to a son! ”

The fat aunt looked at her and nodded gently, and didn't even have the strength to say thank you, but she still ate the eggs as Nie Shuyao said and drank a big bowl of soup.

After eating, the fat aunt's spirit was obviously much better, Nie Shuyao took out two eggs from her pocket and peeled them, peeled them and handed them to Wen Po, who had nothing to say on the side, and said, "Auntie, you can eat some too, it's really hard to come here early in the morning." I'll serve you a bowl of soup in a moment. ”

At this time, it is good to have a child in the countryside and eat an egg, and Wen Po feels pleasing to her at this time. I took two eggs and ate them, and I was obviously interested in the fat aunt.

When Nie Shuyao came in with the soup again, she had already heard Wen Po say, "Hard, I'm about to give birth." ”

Then, she was kicked out by Wen Po.

Nie Shuyao saw that the fat aunt was fine, so she came out, after all, she was still a girl's family.

The yellow-faced man knew that she was a stranger who had stayed in the open space outside his house for the night, and said gratefully, "Thank you." ”

Nie Shuyao smiled: "No thanks. I think you'd better hurry up and get the hot water ready, you'll need it in a while. ”

"Hmm!" The yellow-faced man then went into the kitchen to scoop water.

Nie Shuyao waited in the courtyard for almost a quarter of an hour before she heard a baby's cry, and she grinned happily. Only then did he turn around and leave, and when he walked to the gate, he heard the words of Wen Po, "It's a big fat boy, and the mother and son are safe." ”

Nie Shuyao felt that he should make them something delicious, and there was nothing more gratifying than the birth of a new life.

After going out, I couldn't go far to my own carriage, and it was already noon.

The old man came back and poured water into his stomach vigorously.

Jiang Yi also came back, and his harvest was not small, hunting a deer, two pheasants, and two rabbits.

Nie Shuyao smiled: "It's really good, I'll stew a chicken for the fat aunt first, and then give the fat aunt's family a rabbit, and then let's eat barbecue." ”

The others all nodded in agreement, but the old man was a little reluctant, "I said Miss Nie, why are you so good to that family?" ”

Nie Shuyao said: "Don't forget, only his family gave us water to drink yesterday." Do you know what it means to drink water and think about the source? ”

The old man shook his head and said helplessly: "Isn't it just a bucket of water?" I'm afraid that if I treat them well, I will hurt them. ”

"Why?" Several people asked in unison.

"Well, it's hard to say." The old man shook his head again and said, "Do you know? Every year there are deaths in this village, but in the past two years there have been a lot of deaths. Almost every family has died in this river, and I don't believe that there are no water ghosts in this river. ”

Nie Tianxi asked, "Uncle Nian, what have you heard?" ”

The old man said, "I have inquired, if someone in this village dies in the river, other people will feel at ease." Why? Because the water ghosts are full, at least they won't come to harm their family again. So, the hearts of the people in this village are very cold. ”

"What's going on there, why are you throwing dead sparrows into the river?" Nie Tianxi asked again.

The old man replied: "I have also heard about this, all the people in the main family there are dead, and the dead sparrows are for the water ghosts to eat, and if the water ghosts eat the sparrows, don't come to eat people again." ”

"Bang!" Nie Shuyao slapped the table fiercely, got up and said, "It's just nonsense!" That's not a water ghost at all. As far as I can guess, maybe it was a very special aquatic plant, and they also stirred up the whirlpool at the bottom of the river. ”

"Really?" Several people asked in unison.

Nie Shuyao said: "As for whether it is true or not, it needs to be further confirmed." ”

The old man laughed again and again, "I said girl, don't be serious, I think we will leave after lunch, we can't take care of this matter." ”

Nie Shuyao also said seriously: "I have to figure out this matter, otherwise how will the fat aunt and their family live in the future?" ”

Hearing the old man say this, she guessed the thoughts of the entire Qingshui Village people clearly, the young man named Shunzi fell into the water because of his stupidity, and their family definitely didn't want to be with the fat aunt's family. The other villagers must also have this thought, if they don't get it right, they will fall into the well, and there is no one in the village, so Nie Shuyao and his party can't leave.

"Brother Jiang, Xi'er, please go and cut a few more long bamboo poles to come back, try to be as long and sturdy as possible." She commanded.

Jiang Yi and Nie Tianxi nodded and went elsewhere to look for it. This is already a southern land, and bamboo is everywhere, but it is not easy to find long and sturdy ones.

Then she said to the old man: "Uncle Nian, if you still want to eat our delicious barbecue today, go and talk to that Lizheng, just say, we will find out this water ghost for him, and hope that he will not come to make trouble during this period." ”

The old man saw the game on the ground and touched his stomach, so he had to do what Nie Shuyao said.

"Shu Yao, what about me?" Feng Wuya asked.

"What about me?" The second artillery also asked.

"Cook food with me. But we still need some water! Nie Shuyao looked at the river, she still didn't want to drink the water in it. R1152
