Chapter 120: Night in a Strange Land
Yu Yin wanted to call out to his uncle and aunt, but he was worried that he would annoy the two of them by being too abrupt, so he had to think about it again and again, and asked tentatively, "Excuse me, where is this?" ”
The people around saw the two people above appear, both with their hands folded on their chests, bending down and saluting respectfully.
The two glanced at the crowd and turned back to the room.
Seeing this, the young man glanced coldly at Yu Yin and walked towards the steps.
"What are you still doing in a daze, my father and mother want to see you, and you won't leave?"
Yu Yin gave him a blank look, and called Qingming to follow.
The outside of the wooden house looked wide, and when I entered, I found that the inside was full but not narrow, and there were various silk threads hanging above the roof, and the house was separated by a wooden hedge, and some strange objects were neatly hung on the fence wall.
In the middle of the room is a round carpet, with a black base and white lines, which looks solemn and solemn. Behind the blanket are two square chairs, where a dignified middle-aged couple sits.
The young man stood in front of the carpet and saluted: "Daddy, Auntie, I brought you people." ”
The man bowed slightly, and raised his eyes to look at Yu Yin.
"You're the ones who broke into my barrier?" There was a usual majesty in the flat tone.
Is this going to be a teacher to ask for sin?
Yu Yin hurriedly begged for mercy: "Patriarch? Are you a patriarch? Please also be aware of me and me."
Turning his head to look at Qingming, who was a little nervous, he said: "My brother and I didn't trespass on your land, but we were chased and killed and fell off the cliff by mistake, and we found our way along the stream and encountered heavy fog, and somehow got lost and got under the flowering tree.
The tree also startled the two of us, and there were bones all underneath. Later, an uncle and the little brother next to him brought us in."
When the young man heard this, he was immediately annoyed, and retorted with his eyes: "What is that tree called, that is called the Lingxiao Tree, which specializes in suppressing evil spirits, and is my treasure of white witches!" I can't tolerate your girl's words being defiled! ”
The woman at the top frowned and shouted: "Acha, don't be rude!" ”
Yu Yin was a little stunned, then exhaled heavily, and turned his eyes away too much to pay attention to him.
How could she have verbally insulted that Lingxiao tree?
Little kids are really picky!
The young man was silent angrily, his eyes were as cold as an ice blade, and he slashed at Yu Yin's body with a knife.
The woman smiled apologetically: "Please don't mind, girl, Atcha is this kind of character." The white bones you see are not caused by the Lingxiao Tree, this was once a mass grave, the evil spirit is raging, not a single grass grows, it is the ancestors of the clan who have worked hard to find the Lingxiao Tree and the Shadow Vine to plant here, so that the evil spirit can be suppressed. ”
Although it involved the secrets of the human family, Yu Yin was still curious, and asked tentatively: "Since this place is so evil, why did the noble ancestors move their clansmen here?" ”
The woman smiled and did not answer.
The man took over the words and said to Yu Yin: "Girl, childe, if you two can meet Lingxiao Tree, it means that you have a relationship with our clan, it's a little late today, I'll ask Atcha to take you to the guest room to rest first, and I'll talk about it tomorrow if there's anything." ”
The young man named Atcha reluctantly accepted the order and led the two towards the courtyard behind the main house.
After the people left, the man frowned and whispered: "I can't even see through that girl's life, it seems that something is hiding the heavens."
Moreover, she has a pure will, which can almost match the eminent monks, and perhaps the opportunity for our clan to unlock the curse lies in her. ”
The woman nodded in agreement, a relieved smile on her totem-strewn face.
Although Atcha always throws his eyes at Yu Yin, he is not bad, and after learning what happened to Yu Yin, he has sympathy in his heart, and his words are no longer so choking.
Yu Yin learned from him that this was the land of the White Witch Clan, and there was an enchantment outside the clan, which ordinary people could not enter.
Only when the dark clouds are rolling and the sunlight is obscured, the evil spirit of the mass grave increases greatly, and the barrier becomes weak, and in this case, outsiders will break in.
The entire White Witch Clan lives almost in isolation.
"You always stay here and don't you get bored, don't you? Have you ever wanted to go outside and have a look? ”
Yu Yin sat on the simple wooden bed, his legs swinging, looking tired.
The room was neat and clean, and under the window was a table made of tree roots, with two small wooden bowls on top and a stoneware teapot beside it.
Atcha walked over and picked up the stick under the window rim and propped it up, creaking and making him even more irritable.
"What's there to see out there! Our people have lived here for a hundred years and have always been self-sufficient, and this land is our world! ”
Qingming asked where to get water, took the teapot and wooden bowl and walked out, leaving only Yuyin and Atcha in the house.
Yu Yin felt that Acha was a little pitiful, obviously yearning for the outside world, but he was always trapped in this small world.
When Atza noticed her gaze, he suddenly became angry and slammed his fist on the window frame, causing the window to rattle.
"What do you mean by that, have pity on me? Oh, I am the son of the dignified patriarch, the young patriarch of the White Witch clan, what is there to be pitiful"
Yu Yin responded perfunctorily: "Okay, good, you are amazing!" I don't pity you, I'm envious, envious! Thank you to the young patriarch for taking me in, a poor worm who was hunted down, does the young patriarch have anything to eat, I'm going to starve to death? ”
She was grizzled and dirty, rubbing her stomach very pitifully, and with the alluring color, people couldn't help but feel pity.
Atcha stopped his anger and turned to go out to find food.
Qingming happened to come back, took a cleanly washed wooden bowl, carried a filled teapot, and put it on the table guiltily.
After putting down the bowl, he held the teapot in his arms, scattered his clothes, and the cold temperature continued to spread to him from the teapot, and his lips were dark.
Yu Yin was puzzled and asked a little worriedly, "What are you doing here?" ”
Qingming smiled weakly, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright: "People here drink mountain spring water directly, but drinking cold water is not good for the stomach, I want to cover it, and then pour it for the eldest lady to drink when it is not so cold." ”
"It's not so troublesome, it's early summer, and this little cool drink is just enough to relieve the heat."
Yu Yin made a gesture to take the teapot down, Qingming turned around and hid in the corner, so he had to let him.
At ten o'clock in the night, Yu Yin lay on the simple wooden bed and couldn't sleep, and the cold night breeze came in through the window, blowing her more and more energetic.
This place is strange and isolated, and the people here don't know whether they are friends or foes, and today the patriarch and his wife look at her with eyes full of scrutiny, and there is still a faint joy in their eyes.
She suddenly remembered that Liang Yan had mentioned that the plague in Ningshuo was caused by the Wu clan, and this is also the Wu clan, I don't know if it is related, if it is really the Wu clan that caused the epidemic in Ningshuo, then she is a sheep!
Looks like we'll have to find a way to get out as soon as possible!
Qingming lay quietly outside, separated only by a wall from Yuyin.
Listening to the tossing and turning sound inside, he laughed happily.
"Miss, are you feeling unwell?" He asked softly.
Yu Yin looked sideways at the starry night sky outside the window, and sighed quietly, "No." ”
Suddenly, footsteps quietly approached, and after reminding Qingming, he began to pretend to be asleep.
