Early the next morning, He Xingyao and Chu Yuan went to Zhouzhuang together.

The two of them had heard a lot about this place when they were in the inn, so now in the face of such a situation, their hearts are still a little unsteady.

"Xingyao, do you think the atmosphere here is weird and terrifying?"

Chu Yuan's heart did have such a feeling, and even that kind of horror continued to increase, so he had the slightest urge to retreat.

He Xingyao is such a smart woman, she can see the fear in his heart at a glance, but she didn't pierce it, she just smiled and said: "It's okay, since we have all made up our minds, no matter what kind of situation we face, we must persevere." ”

After saying that, she also hit him on the sleeve with her clenched fist.

At this moment, there was a "buzzing" sound, and they were about to look back to see the source of the sound, when an old woman came over.

He Xingyao felt very strange, this person looked very old, and his walking steps were not wide, but he was holding a golden step in his hand, and he would not let go no matter what.

So she stepped forward as far as she could, and said with a smile, "Do you know what this place is, old woman?" ”

This sentence is just a temptation, after all, in such a strange place, the two of them must pay special attention to their words and deeds, otherwise they will be in danger everywhere if they are not careful.

The old woman was stunned for a while before she muttered, "Here, isn't it Zhouzhuang, it's evil!" ”

After finishing speaking, she sat on the ground like that, and in a panic she put the golden step in her hand into her arms, and then left two lines of tears in her eyes, which looked so sad.

He Xingyao didn't know what was wrong with her, so he had to bow his head and say, "Old woman, why did you say that just now?" And why are you crying? ”

As soon as the old woman saw her, she suddenly grabbed her hand vigorously and said cautiously, "Yao'er, is it you?" ”

"I think you were still that little bit old back then, and you always loved to play and make trouble." The old woman gestured with her hands as she spoke, and although the movements looked clumsy, they were unusually cute.

Chu Yuan saw that she had no malicious intent, so he reminded in a low voice: "Old woman, she is not Yao'er, she is He Xingyao, you look carefully." ”

When the woman heard this, she immediately glared back at him with a straight face, and then continued to hold He Xingyao's hands, and the two of them sat down together.

After a long while, she looked at the old woman and said, "Mother-in-law, do you know that there is a beautiful lady here?" ”

The old woman seemed to think of something, and suddenly let go of her hand, and then said in a frightened tone: "Don't, don't come, I, I'll leave with the little daughter, don't, don't ......"

There was really no beginning or end to what he said, but the two of them still heard something from these three words, but neither of them spoke.

After a long while, the old woman suddenly calmed down, looked at the scenery outside, and said with emotion: "When Xiaoqian King Kong was born and was framed by bad people, Niangniang had to bring us all here, at that time, this place was not called Zhouzhuang. ”

Chu Yuan couldn't help but interrupt: "What's that called?" ”

The old woman looked at him and really wanted to hear the story, so she said: "At that time, this was just a dilapidated temple without a name, and then Niangniang's cousin died to protect the little daughter, and that cousin was surnamed Zhou, so it was like this. ”

Having said all this, He Xingyao and Chu Yuan couldn't bear to listen to it anymore, after all, the story must be a tragedy at the end.

Naturally, the two of them did not want to mention it again, but the old woman did not want to give it up.

I saw that she directly held the Jin Bu Shao in her hand for them to see, and by the way, she smiled and said: "This, but Yao'er's Jin Bu Shao, she always grabbed it when she was a child, and I can't coax it, I have to coax Niang Niang herself to put it down!" The temper is old and stubborn. ”

He Xingyao didn't want to listen to these messy trivialities, she just wanted to know if there was a beautiful lady living here, but she ignored the title "Yao'er".

Chu Yuan heard it from the beginning, so he couldn't help but ask: "Grandma, whose child is Yao'er?" How old is she? ”

The old woman looked at them, and suddenly began to count them on her fingers, and she counted almost enough, and then said with a smile: "Yao'er, but Niangniang's child, the body of a daughter, counted, as old as you are the girl, it's a pity!" ”

When He Xingyao heard this, he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and he had a feeling of wanting to escape.

I don't know why, she subconsciously didn't want to hear it, but she felt that she couldn't escape it at all, there were answers to want to explore and secrets to explore.

Chu Yuan's observation was meticulous, and he immediately saw that He Xingyao was a little unhappy.

So, after they had put the old woman to sleep, the two of them went into the courtyard together, and looked at the stars and the moon in the sky, and seemed to be in a much better mood.

I saw He Xingyao looking at him and said, "Chu Yuan, when you saw me before, you said that you came to us to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but in fact, I didn't believe it at all. ”

After a pause, she continued: "Later, you said that you were going to Zhouzhuang, which made me not believe you at all, why did you come here?" And why did you have to let me walk around here with you before? ”

Chu Yuan smiled, he looked at the full moon and bright stars in the sky, and couldn't help but speak: "Such a beautiful moment, don't you always think about those annoying trivialities, you see how beautiful the stars and moon in the sky are!" ”

As she listened, she began to look up at the stars, and by the way, she would discuss some things about the stars.

At this time, Chu Yuan suddenly looked at her, "Do you say that there is really a Chang'e on the moon?" Were she and Hou Yi ever really happy? ”

She thought for a moment and said, "No, after all, it's just an ancient legend, no one has seen it with their own eyes, how can it be true?" ”

After Chu Yuan heard this, his eyes became a little dim, and the original starlight gradually disappeared, and then he said softly: "I hope this is true." ”

He shook his head, and stumbled towards Zhou Zhuang alone, obviously not drinking, but he seemed to be drunk.

He Xingyao looked at him like that, and couldn't help but speak: "It's strange, you haven't been drinking, why do you look so unsteady when you walk?" ”

She was about to open her mouth to retort, but the old woman suddenly coughed twice, apparently sober.

In this way, the two of them walked over quickly and supported her together.

The old woman looked at them and said with a smile: "It's been nineteen years, Yao'er is now a big girl, she was born with a bad fate, Niangniang was involved in leaving the palace, and her aunt also died tragically for her This Zhouzhuang, hey, don't mention it." ”

Speaking of this, she looked at Chu Yuan and said, "Childe looks like he came from the capital, I hope Yao'er doesn't go to the capital, and he doesn't know anything." ”

This is really a bit contradictory, but the two of them really can't find a reason to refute it.

He Xingyao suddenly looked at her and said, "Old woman, do you know that Niangniang is beautiful?" ”

She recalled with a smile: "That look is one in a million, and no one is more beautiful than her." ”

"Has that lady never been out since she came here?"

"How is it possible to get out? There are jackals, tigers and leopards everywhere outside, and it's not much better than inside! ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly seemed to think of something, and said directly to He Xingyao: "Miss He Xingyao, you must promise me, if you see Yao'er, just tell her that her mother loves her very much, and Jin Buyao was Yao'er's favorite object back then!" ”

As soon as she said this, she suddenly felt that her whole person was very uncomfortable, and after living for so many years, she finally waited for someone to find Yao'er for her.

Thinking of this, she smiled and closed her eyes, looking very peaceful, without a trace of pain and discomfort.

However, He Xingyao and Chu Yuan couldn't laugh, where would that Yao'er be?
