A gust of wind blew, and the leaves on the trees made a rustling sound, like countless ghosts clapping their hands overhead.

The poplar tree itself is very tall, and planting it in the yard will block a lot of yang energy, resulting in a particularly heavy yin energy in the house.

Huang Yu suddenly realized that he had felt uncomfortable since he came to this courtyard.

She exhaled deeply, a little annoyed why she didn't listen to the class carefully at that time, and she didn't know the formation and didn't know the cracking technique now.

What was even more unexpected to her was that the old man's room was separated from the old woman's dining room, one on the left and one on the right.

The old man and the old woman don't sleep together, he has a separate room, which Huang Yu didn't expect at first.

The door needs to be unlocked, and the old man took out a key from his belt, covered the keyhole and secretly inserted the key into it, which was no different from a thief unlocking the lock.

is still so cautious at home, you can imagine who is guarding against it.

At the moment of closing the door, Huang Yu clearly noticed that the old man was looking at her with the door, his eyes were gloomy, and the wooden door was open with a slit, only enough for the distance of two eyes.

He just stared at her like that, and Huang Yu was stared at her back.

The door in the middle opened, Cuicui came out with a bowl, and with a "click", the old man quickly closed the wooden door, as timid as a cat seeing a mouse, as if she was a flood beast that could not be avoided.

Could the stairs be in the old man's room?

Cuicui and the old man are not right, is it possible for her to hand over the control of the entire second floor to the old man?

Unlikely.

Therefore, the old man's room is the object of suspicion, not the focus of the object.

This excludes four rooms, and one more, to the right of the old man's room, the far right of the whole house.

Locked on to the target, and waited for her to explore it in the dead of night.

Cuicui was looking over, Huang Yu retracted his gaze, met Cuicui's eyes, and said with a smile Come wash the dishes.

This sentence is equivalent to a person who opens his eyes in the morning, and you ask him if he is awake, knowingly.

Cuicui answered, walked to the vat where Huang Yu was sitting with the bowl, put the bowl on the stone platform, bent down and scooped water out of the vat to rush into the bowl.

Then he took out a bag of grass ash from the pocket of his apron, put it in a bowl, and washed it with his hands.

There wasn't much oil or water for the whole meal, so rubbing it with plant ash and rinsing it with water was done.

Huang Yu also picked up a bowl like her, and without paying attention, the index finger of the cracked opening scratched the edge of the broken bowl, and the debris on the edge of the bowl stretched the wound even wider, and the blood flowed down the edge of the bowl into the water.

Huang Yu raised his injured index finger violently, and it happened that this small movement was seen by Cuicui turning her head.

"Cousin, you've got a scratch on your finger." Cuicui affirmed, "It's not a bowl." ”

Huang Yu generously stretched out his finger to Cuicui, and explained without changing his face: "Ah, yes, I accidentally rubbed it from the tree just now, it's nothing, and it will scab over after a while." ”

"Look, this is it." Huang Yu pointed to Cuicui where the tree she had just touched was located, and there was a blood stain on the protruding branch.

"Oh, that's right, then don't touch the water, I'll just wash it." Cuicui said.

"Okay."

The sky was overcast, there were dark clouds, there was not a single star, even the moon was hiding behind the dark clouds, hazy, I don't know if the clouds were obscuring the moon or the whole village.

The day was so overcast, the snow still hadn't fallen, and the air was very dull, which made people feel irritable, as if they had a thick quilt on their chests, and they couldn't breathe.

In the night, darkness covered all the houses, the shadows of the trees were swaying, the cold wind was biting, the earth was already asleep, except for the occasional barking of a dog or two, and the surroundings were as quiet as if time had stood still......

The two of them didn't speak again, Cuicui lowered her head to wash the dishes, Huang Yu looked up at the sky, and no one broke the silence.

Sassy –

"Ahh

Cuicui suddenly screamed, only to see a small green snake with the thickness of a finger emerge from the smooth stone crack under her feet, its snake head is large, triangular, the neck is relatively thin, the whole body is green, the tail is burnt yellow, the eyes are red, and the green of the body is in sharp contrast.

Huang Yu only glanced at it, and the snake pounced on Cuicui with a bloody mouth.

Cuicui hurriedly stepped back, accidentally slipped and fell to the ground. The snake bit the air and pounced on the ground, it looked at the phoenix feather with bright red eyes, then at Cuicui, and finally locked on to the target and swam quickly towards Cuicui.

Cuicui shouted in fright, retreated with both hands, and watched in horror as the snake approached quickly, the triangular snake's head was raised, and the bright red snake letter stretched out and retracted, and flew up with lightning speed, and flew over with a scarlet mouth.

Cuicui instinctively covered her face with her hands, and the back of her hand was suddenly cold, and the pain did not come for a long time.

"It's okay."

After a while, Huang Yu's voice sounded in front of her, Cuicui trembled and lowered her arm, glanced at her intact arm, and the panic in her heart had not been completely suppressed.

I saw Huang Yu pulling the snake's tail with one hand, pinching seven inches with the other, and straightening the snake entirely, about one meter long.

Huang Yu was looking at the snake carefully, "The scales on the back are grass green, and there is a thin white line in the middle of the scales on the outermost back, and there is a red side line in the white line, which is bamboo leaf green." ”

Huang Yu affirmed.

As the king of birds, she is not afraid of snakes, only snakes are afraid of her, or why did Zhu Yeqing decisively choose Cuicui after taking a look at Cuicui and Huang Yu just now, in addition to relying on eye observation, the snake relies more on the smell and temperature to judge, the smell on Huang Yu's body is not smelled, but the snake can be smelled clearly.

"You you kill it, take it away, I'm afraid." Cuicui trembled and pointed at Zhu Yeqing and said, her already pale face was now pale with fright.

Huang Yu took a few steps back before Cuicui dared to stand up against the wall.

The bamboo leaf green that was pinched in his hand was obviously much more docile, and his big red eyes didn't dare to look at Huang Yu in the blink of an eye. The whole body also softened, and there was no more fierceness just now.

"The little guy is weirdly cute." Huang Yu smiled.

Cuicui suddenly exploded, and said in disbelief with apricot eyes: "Cute? It's trying to kill me, and I'm cute! ”

Huang Yu raised the snake a little higher, let Cuicui look at Zhu Yeqing, and said to Cuicui: "Look, its big eyes, like gems, how cute." ”

Zhu Yeqing looked very petite in Huang Yu's hand, looking very scared, where was the ruthlessness that could bite people to death just now.

Zhu Yeqing looked at Cuicui and spit out his bright red tongue cooperatively.

"Ahhhh You take it! Cuicui shouted.

Huang Yu hurriedly retracted his hand and pursed his lips. "Bamboo leaf green is highly toxic, but it can also cure diseases. Bamboo leaf green bubble wine has a good effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, and it is very suitable for making gold sore medicine......"

Speaking of this, Huang Yu paused violently, the snake in front of her coincided with a slender hand, and what she just said coincided with a gentle male voice, and she could even feel the warm breath of the man blowing out of her neck.

"Does it hurt, why are you so careless, why don't you have a long memory?"

"I hurt and it's not you who hurt, don't chatter."

"I'm distressed."

The tip of his nose swept over the faint lotus fragrance, and Huang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Cuicui's shrill voice called Huang Yu back to reality.

"It's winter! How can there be snakes, how can there be snakes in such a sky? Somebody's trying to hurt me, cousin, somebody's going to hurt me! Cuicui held her head in her hands and kept stepping back.

Those who know know that Cuicui is afraid of snakes, and those who don't know think that the house is haunted, and the sound spread far and wide, startling a group of crows in the distance.

But the old man and the old woman in the room didn't react at all as if they hadn't heard.

"No, no, you calm down first, snakes don't have to hibernate, it's warmer under the roots of the tree, plus you often wash dishes with plant ash, the plant ash will heat up when it encounters water, and then flow under the tree through the snake's nest, which may be how the snake wakes up." Huang Yu explained.

"No, no, someone must be trying to harm me, you kill it, you kill it!" Cuicui stared at Zhu Yeqing, her eyes were fierce, and she wanted to grab the block and turn her head to smash the snake to death.

Huang Yu saw a few wine jars from the base of the kitchen wall, she walked over and shook the wine jars, they were empty. Then remove the seal on the wine jar and put the bamboo leaf green inside.

The snake was obedient, and got into it himself, blinking at the bottom of the jar with a pair of ruby eyes and looking timidly at the phoenix feather.

Huang Yu closed the seal, poked a small hole in it to make the snake breathe, then pressed the jar with a stone and stood up.

"It's a life, so get around it. I'll go to the mountain tomorrow and put it away, okay? Huang Yu looked at Cuicui consultantly.

Cuicui didn't dare to touch the snake at all, she didn't even dare to get closer, she wanted to kill the snake, but she didn't dare, of course it was what Huang Yu said.

Huang Yu walked to the water tank and looked into the crack in the stone, it was too dark to see if there were snakes inside, and even if there were snakes that saw her, they didn't dare to come out.

Huang Yu seemed to casually put his hand on the stone, but in fact, he smeared the blood on his finger on the stone, which was a barrier to prevent the snake from crawling out.

She put away the bowl next to the water tank and walked over to Cuicui and handed it to her.

Cuicui's hands were still shaking when she took the bowl.

"No, no, no, you go, you go and put it, I don't dare." Cuicui glanced at the wine jar placed in the kitchen doorway and stepped back timidly.

Huang Yu had no choice but to put it himself.

She didn't want to go into that kitchen at all.

When she entered the kitchen, she felt that the two stoves were looking at her like two eyes, and where she went, the stove was looking.

In darkness, the role of the eyes is reduced, and the other senses are infinitely magnified.

The smell of firewood, flesh, rotting vegetables and fruits, rat droppings, and blood...... The moment he entered the kitchen, there was no moment when he hated his nose more than now.

The moment he walked out of the kitchen, Huang Yu felt that his whole body was contaminated with the smell of rot.

Cuicui stood there waiting for her.

The face of the fiasco was a little blue in the moonlight.

Huang Yu patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, it's okay, it's not too late, go back to sleep." ”

Cuicui nodded.

"Cousin, you ...... sleep"

Before he finished speaking, Huang Yu suddenly felt a spoofy aura on his back.
