Chapter 71 The descendants of Shu

Yueyue asked Xiao Zheng to hold her hand, Xiao Zheng refused at first, Yueyue whispered: "Xiao Zheng, I order you, you must hold this girl's hand." Xiao Zheng didn't say anything, and pulled Yueyue's little hand awkwardly, making Xiao Zheng's palms sweaty. The two of them walked hand in hand to the very beautiful southern Sichuan house, and the two couldn't help but admire, the house was not only beautiful, but also very spacious, covering an area of two or three hundred square meters. The center of gravity of the building sits firmly on a large rock recessed halfway up the mountainside, and the cliff side is supported by a long, thick stump, and above the stump is a large terrace. It is estimated that the house is some years old, and the sides of the stump are covered with dark green moss, and the bottom part is very weathered, much thinner than the top section.

The two tiptoed to the door, the door was unlocked, and the door squeaked open, making a loud sound. "Who?" An old but kind voice. Yueyue's mouth has always been very sweet: "Uncle, it's us." "Where did you come from?" The kind voice continued to sound. Yueyue suddenly had a hard time answering, and walked in. The old uncle probably estimated that it would be difficult for the little girl to answer his question, so he stopped asking, and said gently, "Come in, come in, drink hot tea, and sit for a while." Yueyue and Xiao Zheng looked at each other and smiled, the old man was very friendly, and his mood relaxed a little.

Turning a corridor, Yueyue and Xiao Zheng were stunned at the same time, there were three old people in this house, all of them were gray-haired, and almost none of the three of them had black hair. Yueyue took a closer look and found that the three old men were a man and two women, the one who spoke just now was the old man, and the two old women were curled up in two identical rattan chairs, the rattan chairs were very wide, larger than the chaise longue, and the old man only sat in one-third of the space. The two women were curled up motionless, like two sculptures.

The old man trembled and picked up the blue and white porcelain teapot from the table and made tea for Yueyue and Xiao Zheng. Yueyue took the teacup and drank it all, her mouth was already dry. After drinking tea, she wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeve, and when she saw the old man staring at her, she quickly said, "Well, good tea, good tea." In fact, Yueyue doesn't understand the quality of tea at all, just casually talking. The old man was very happy, his eyes narrowed into a line, and he made another cup for Yueyue. Yueyue drank it dry again, and the second cup she really tasted a slight sweetness and refreshment, and she thought that this tea must have an unusual origin.

After Yueyue drank tea, she sat down on the bench pointed out by the old man, and carefully looked at the three old men. The old man who made tea for her and Xiao Zheng just now is estimated to be eighty or ninety years old, not only his hair is white like the first snow of the wax moon, but also his eyebrows and beard five or six centimeters long are snow-white, just like the fairy grandfather in the sky. Yueyue looked at the two female elders again, in addition to the eyebrows and beards, as well as the style of their hair, they looked exactly like the male elders, and they also had a round face with kind eyebrows. Except for the snow-white hair, the faces of the three old men were all white and red, just like the faces of the old men who are well maintained in the big city. Yueyue was a little curious, what did they rely on to maintain so well in this humid mountain forest? What is the relationship between the three old men?

Yueyue was observing the old man, while Xiao Zheng was looking at the decorations in the house, the walls in the room were different from the outside, the outside was made of stone and bricks, and the walls inside were wooden boards, such wooden planks could prevent moisture and moisture, and the environment inside was completely different from the outside, it was simply two heavens. There were also three robes, three hats, and three bows and arrows hanging on the wooden wall. The kind old uncle saw Yueyue's face full of doubts, and began to introduce the two female elders with a smile: "Hehehe, girl, do you think the three of us look alike?" "Well, uncle, I think the three of you are very similar", Yueyue replied very honestly. Silly girl, I've eaten the same meal in one pot for fifty or sixty years, it's not like it's weird, hehe. But they are really sisters", the old man pointed to the two old women curled up in the wicker chairs: "Not only sisters, but also twins, hehe".

Yueyue was even more curious, staring at the old uncle's eyes, expecting him to continue quickly. The old man stopped talking, turned to the two old women and said, "Big baby, second baby, our family has not had guests come to the door for more than ten years, go get some delicious dishes to entertain the two distinguished guests." Yueyue thinks it's funny, I've only known each other for more than half an hour, how can I be called a distinguished guest. In a blink of an eye, I thought that I hadn't come to the guest for more than ten years, and I was tired of looking at it. Suddenly there are beautiful women and handsome guys, so it's no wonder that the old man is not excited.

Yueyue is very novel, the two old women who were curled up in the rattan chair just now and did not move, in the blink of an eye, walked lightly, and their movements were flexible and coordinated, like middle-aged women in their forties and fifties. What amazed Yueyue even more was that the dishes that were served were exactly the same as the ones eaten at Meng Shu's descendants last time, they were also pheasant mushrooms, and even the cooking method was similar. The old uncle introduced Yueyue and the others while eating: "The one with a mole on the corner of his mouth is my eldest wife, and the one who doesn't have a mole is my little wife." The two old women were smiling and feeling very happy.

The more Yueyue listened, the more confused she became, how could a pair of twin sisters become wives again, she stared at the old uncle in confusion, as if she wanted to capture some secret from his eyes. The old uncle knew that Yueyue's stomach was full of question marks, and he smiled and said, "Hehe, do you want to hear the story?" Uncle, my belly is full of stories, hehehe".
