Chapter 225: Grandma's Cause of Death
"Actually, I want to go to Miss, but Zixiamen is on the Immortal Mountain, how can I go as a mortal? But I always remember that Miss once said that if I have the opportunity to go down the mountain, I will come back on Grandma's birthday, and later, I married Wu Qi, and I will go back to the Meng family every March, I always remember Grandma's instructions, I dare not enter the Meng family, only dare to inquire about the news in the place where mortals live......
"...... after we moved to the mountain, I have not been in good health, it was Wu Qi who noticed and asked, I didn't want to say, I knew that Grandma didn't let me say, it was for fear of causing disaster to me, but I was really worried about you and Grandma, so I told him everything, he didn't agree with me to go again, Yan'er had to go on my behalf, Wu Qi also felt feasible, he said that he was afraid that I would be recognized, Yan'er is a face, and no one would suspect it, and then Wu Qi sent Yan'er to Xiushui Town, and Wu Qi came back a month later, I knew that Mengfu just recruited maids, and Yan'er went inγ β
"I didn't expect her to get you back!" said the little finch and cried again.
Changxing had already hugged her and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'm back, I'll find Grandma." β
As she spoke, she stood up, nourished her heart with spiritual power, thought about it again, took out a pill, and instructed: "Scrape a little powder every day, wash it with water, don't overdo it, and eat one pill in ten days." β
Xiao Que was nourished by spiritual power, and his face was much rudder, so he hurriedly took the pill and asked, "Miss, where are you going?"
"You recuperate first, and I'll go find Grandma. β
Changxing greeted Wu Qi and Yan'er, two brothers and sisters, before turning around and leaving, according to the route map given by Changkong, the flight was only a quarter of an hour, and he came to a small village.
This village looks not as big as Wujia Village, there are twenty or thirty families scattered together, at this time it is the time of twilight, the chimneys of each household are smoking, there are not many pedestrians in the village, Changxing Divine Sense covers the whole village, and soon found the small courtyard that Changkong said, and his body was already in the courtyard.
The yard is not large, it is overgrown with weeds, and the small three-room adobe house, the window paper has been tattered, and it looks like it is decayed under the rays of the setting sun.
Changxing had a bad premonition in his heart, and quickly stepped into the room, which was already a thick layer of ash, and on the kang was a blue quilt, which was folded squarely, and Changxing grabbed it in his hand, which was indeed used by grandma, and there was a needlework basket on the kang head, and there was a pair of unfinished cloth shoes inside.
Judging from the situation in the room, Grandma has been gone for at least four or five years.
Changxing took a closer look at the room, cast a transfiguration technique, turned himself into an ordinary-looking village girl, looked at it again, and conjured up a burden to carry on his shoulders, then looked at the gate of the courtyard, and walked straight to the house diagonally opposite.
"Tuk Tuk!" Changxing knocked on the door and shouted, "Is there anyone?"
For a moment, I heard the young woman reply, "Who?"
"Sister-in-law, I want to ask something. Changxing replied as he poked his head out of the fence.
The woman, seeing that it was a young girl alone, hesitated for a moment, and then came over, but did not open the door, but stood inside, and said, "What do you want to ask?"
Changxing smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I came here to join my family, but I didn't find my aunt." β
"Auntie, what's your aunt's name, what does she look like, is it from this village?"
"Well, my aunt said that she lives in the first small courtyard at the head of this village, and she is a detached family......"
Changxing said, finding that the woman's face was flustered, and he waved his hand again and again: "Hurry up! I don't know your aunt!"
"Sister-in-law, you should have pity on me! I have traveled all the way, it is late, tired and hungry, if I can't find my aunt, I will sleep in the wilderness!"
Although the woman's face was unbearable, she still refused: "I really don't know, don't ask me ......"
"What's going on?" a slightly hoarse male voice sounded not far behind Changxing.
The woman in the courtyard seemed to see some savior, her eyes lit up, and she called, "Master!"
"What's going on?" asked the man, carrying a burden on his shoulders, as he walked.
The woman hesitated, "...... Those who came to join their relatives were asking the ...... across the diagonal street."
The man didn't speak, put down his burden, hesitated, and said, "Then you come in." β
The woman was a little surprised, but she opened the door silently.
Changxing hurriedly thanked him and followed.
The room is very simple, except for a kang, a table, two stools, the four walls are empty, two children on the kang, a five or six-year-old girl, like an old hen, guarding a child about one year old, for fear that the child will climb to the ground.
As soon as she entered the house, the woman went into the stove on the side.
"Sit down. The man pointed to the stool, sat on the kang by himself, and held the little child in his arms, and the little girl snuggled up, happily calling her father, and the man coaxed the child, patted the child, and said, "Play by yourself!"
Changxing sat on the stool, and the man took out a cigarette pot from behind his waist, put tobacco in it and lit it, took a few puffs, and then looked at Changxing and said, "What relatives are you looking for?"
"It's my aunt. Changxing recalled that Grandma seemed to have said that her real surname was Feng, so she said: "The surname is Feng, I used to work in a big family, I quit my job four or five years ago, and came out to support the elderly. Changxing said truthfully and falsely.
"Hmm. The man nodded: "That's right, that yard is indeed a lonely old lady surnamed Feng who moved in four or five years ago, she is very kind, rice, noodles, and rations are bought from the villagers, but in addition to buying these daily necessities, she almost stays at home, and has no contact with the villagers, just ......"
Changxing pricked up his ears.
"It's just that, later, somehow, the person suddenly disappeared......"
"Gone?" Changxing looked surprised.
"It's suddenly gone, because the child's mother will send her some vegetables every two or three days, in exchange for two pocket money, but that time to deliver food, no one answered the door, at first we were wonderful, why did she suddenly go out, but for four or five days, no one answered the door, I didn't worry, so I went over the wall with a few people in the village to see, there was no one inside, but the door bolt of the courtyard door was obviously tied from the inside......"
"Later...... The disappearance of Aunt Feng is unknown, and rumors are rife in the village, saying that Aunt Feng was killed by bandits, and some say that she was caught by monsters...... Anyway, there is everything, and the courtyard is also considered by the villagers to be a haunted house, and no one dares to approach it again......"
The woman came out of the stove with two bowls: "Eat." β
As he spoke, he put the bowl in his hand on the table, a bowl of radish and a bowl of cabbage, all of which were clear soup and little water, without a little oil and salt.
The little girl looked at the two night's dishes, swallowed her saliva, and almost burst out of starlight in her eyes
hesitated, but still sat on the edge of the kang.
The woman put down the bowl, turned and went into the stove again, and brought out a casserole, and several empty bowls, and laid them on the table, and in the casserole was a pot of clear coarse grain porridge that could see the figure of a person.
"It's time to eat. The woman said again, scooped the coarse grain porridge into the bowl, and then went to the kang, picked up the little child, and patted the little girl gently: "Go and eat." β
The little girl got off the kang quickly this time and sat on the bench in a regular manner.
The man also greeted Changxing: "Don't dislike it, sister, come and eat some, it's getting late now, and it's not easy for a girl to go back, so I'll spend the night at my house tonight, and I'll make plans tomorrow during the day." β
This night, after the family fell asleep on the third watch, Changxing cast a drowsiness spell again, and his figure flashed back to Grandma's yard.
Holding the blue flower quilt on the kang in his hand, Changxing recalled, there were words in his mouth, and the magic trick in his hand was played out again and again, and for a moment, he saw that there seemed to be a breath overflowing on the quilt, which swirled in the air, and disappeared in an instant.
Changxing's face suddenly turned white: Grandma's breath is broken! This means that Grandma is no longer alive!
After being stunned for a moment, Changxing's subordinates moved quickly again, gathering all the common supplies used by Grandma in the house, but fortunately, the villagers thought that the house was unlucky and did not dare to approach, and the things in the house were still kept as they were.
Cast the spell again, and after a while, Changxing sat down on the ground in a daze: Grandma is indeed dead, and her soul is destroyed and cannot be gathered, such a situation can only be achieved by those who have been cast soul searching!
Grandma! She, she's been cast a soul searcher!
Changxing only felt that all five were burning, and he was so anxious that he was dizzy, and he opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood!
After a long time, Changxing wiped the blood from his lips, slowly stood up, put the bedding and clothes commonly used by Grandma into the storage bag, glanced at the small courtyard, and returned to the woman's house diagonally opposite.
Before dawn, the man had already gone out to work, Changxing said goodbye, pretending to be from the baggage, but in fact took out a few boxes of candy and a few bags of pastries from the storage bag, and said: "This was originally bought for my aunt, since my aunt is not here, I will give it to you." β
The woman hurriedly waved her hand to excuse herself, and Changxing was already stuffed into her hand without shirk: "Make up for the child." β
Changxing left the village and walked along the road into the mountains, only to remove the disguise, and without using spells, he only slowly walked through the mountains and thought.
When Grandma left the Meng family, it was probably when she was still in Longyuan, and she was killed half a year later, and at that time she was already in the Flying Immortal Trench, and the only one who could cast the soul search technique was the cultivator! The cultivator was under the control of the laws of heaven and earth, and could not attack mortals, who risked the curse of heaven and had to put Grandma to death? Or, what information did that person want to get before searching for the soul? The answer is actually obvious, that person came for himself, probably because he wanted to find out the news of himself from Grandma's mouth, Grandma didn't say anything, so he used the soul searching technique!
Changxing's fists were clenched, and the hatred in his heart was monstrous.
Grandma fled from the Meng family, she should have found something, if it is a cultivator outside the Meng family, as long as Grandma doesn't go out, it will be fine, but why did Grandma leave the Meng family, could it be that this person is actually a member of the Meng family!
This is the only explanation! Changxing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!
There is also Li Chuyan's inexplicable corpse, Changxing faintly feels that there seems to be an invisible black hand that is poking out of the pitch-black abyss, wanting to drag her in!
