Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Enshrined Stone Statue
……
In Sanniu Village, Chen Xiaolan sat alone in the courtyard, as a daughter's family, Wang Ying rarely let her go out of the house, for fear of meeting some bad people.
When she was at home for the rest of her life before, she at least had someone to talk to and be able to accompany her to relieve her boredom, but since she went to town for the rest of her life, the feeling of having someone to accompany her has disappeared.
What's more, my mother has always been mysterious recently, and this time, not only her, but even her brother Chen Dashan didn't know what Wang Ying was busy with.
The knock on the door brought Chen Xiaolan back to her senses, and she subconsciously said vigilantly: "Who?" ”
"It's me, for the rest of my life." There is humanity outside the door.
"You lie, Brother Yu Sheng can't speak." When Chen Xiaolan heard this, she panicked in her heart, looking around for something that could protect her.
"I'm really the rest of my life, I don't believe you look through the crack in the door," the rest of my life was helpless: "My voice is better, I can speak." ”
Chen Xiaolan suspiciously brought the letter to the door, holding a broom in her hand, and looked out through the crack in the door.
I saw a young man outside carrying something and grinning at her, isn't it her brother for the rest of her life?
"Brother Yu Sheng, it's really you! You can really talk! Chen Xiaolan opened the door in surprise and welcomed Yu Sheng in.
The two talked for a few words, and Yu Sheng asked, "What about Brother Dashan and Aunt Wang?" ”
"My brother went out with his mother." Chen Xiaolan said in a low voice.
"Where?" The rest of my life is curious, the sun is about to set, where can I go?
"I don't know." Chen Xiaolan said in frustration, and then talked about Wang Ying's recent abnormality and the rest of her life.
It turned out that after Wang Ying went out again this morning, the brother and sister finally couldn't help it, Chen Dashan asked his sister to stay at home, and secretly followed by himself, and then, until now, he has not come back.
Yu Sheng frowned and asked, "Then usually, when does Aunt Wang usually come back?" ”
"In the beginning, my mother went out in the morning and came back at noon, but then she came back later and later, and now she doesn't come back until dark." Chen Xiaolan said worriedly.
Yu Sheng looked at the sky, and now they don't know where Chen Dashan and Wang Ying went, so they can only wait, for this matter, Yu Sheng has a bad premonition in his heart.
How much Chen Dashan loves Chen Xiaolan's younger sister, it can be seen from the fact that he wants her to enroll in school at all costs, and even went to the Black Tiger Forest for this reason.
But now, Chen Xiaolan has been staying at home alone for another day, according to Chen Dashan's temperament, how can she rest assured? How is it possible that he has not come back until now?
That's very wrong!
Seeing that the red glow was fading little by little, and the bright white moonlight was sprinkled all over the earth, Chen Xiaolan's eyes were red, and she clenched her handkerchief at a loss.
Just as she was about to collapse, the sound of long-lost footsteps came with a knock on the door.
"Xiaolan opened the door, and my mother is back." Wang Ying's voice was a little tired.
Yu Sheng pressed Chen Xiaolan, who wanted to open the door, signaled, and walked over by himself.
The door opened, and Wang Ying and Chen Dashan stood there, looking in a trance, with a smile of surprise on their faces the moment they saw the rest of their lives.
"For the rest of your life, how are you going to come back? Don't you have to accompany the young master of the Huang family? ”
"For the rest of your life, you don't know how to say it when you come back, and Dashan and I can prepare a good meal for you."
The two of you said a word, and the familiar appearance made Yu Sheng breathe a sigh of relief, but the doubts in his heart have not been reduced by half a point.
Where did they go today?
"Mother, you're finally back." Chen Xiaolan hugged one of Wang Ying's arms and choked up.
Chen Dashan's face changed, and he thought that someone was bullying his sister-in-law, so he hurriedly asked, and when he learned the reason, he couldn't help but be silent, and said: "Our mother is going to the town to work for people, isn't it almost the New Year, I want to earn more money and buy clothes for the two of us." ”
Chen Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, hugged Wang Ying's arm tightly, and rubbed it in her arms with emotion, that well-behaved appearance made Chen Dashan's heart heavy.
But when the two learned that they could speak for the rest of their lives, their faces were even more different, and they glanced at each other, Wang Ying was proud, and Chen Dashan was shocked.
These rest of his life are in his eyes, he doesn't believe Chen Dashan's words at all, but if the two don't say it, he won't ask more, it's a big deal to wait for one day, he will also follow to take a look.
After a night of nothing, he got up early the next day, although he was sure that Chen Dashan was lying, but this was his intuition, and it still needed to be confirmed.
It's just that today, Wang Ying didn't plan to go out, and made breakfast early, but Chen Dashan went out of the house, and when Yu Sheng guessed where he was going, he found that Chen Dashan just bought a few drawers of steamed buns, obviously specially prepared in consideration of the amount of food for the rest of his life.
This made Yu Sheng breathe a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that he would find out some terrible secrets.
For several days in a row, Wang Ying and Chen Dashan stayed at home, and even if they went out, they were just to buy some things, or go to the neighbor's house to visit the house, and talk about some parents' shortcomings, and then they came back in a moment.
In Chen Xiaolan's view, everything in life seems to have returned to normal.
The cool wind became a little cold at some point, and the white mist fell, and a layer of cold frost accumulated on the dead branches, as if a piece of ice and snow was thrown into a warm heart.
On this day, before dawn, Chen Xiaolan felt the coolness and woke up, in the gray room, she looked at the empty bed, and her heart lifted.
"Mother, are you there?" Chen Xiaolan got dressed and asked nervously.
No one responded, but there was movement in the opposite room.
The rest of his life slept very lightly, and when he heard Chen Xiaolan's call, he opened his eyes in an instant, and he remembered that Chen Dashan went out, but he didn't care, after all, people have three urgencies, but if Wang Ying is not there, then the matter will be serious.
In the courtyard, Chen Xiaolan looked at the crack in the open courtyard door, nervously grabbed Yu Sheng's sleeve, and said, "Brother Yu Sheng, are my mother and my brother going out again!" ”
In fact, there is no need to ask at all, the answer is certain, and the rest of his life knows that Chen Xiaolan wants to hear a negative answer in his mouth, even if the answer is false, but he can't say that, it is useless deception.
"You stay at home, I'll go find them." Yu Sheng said in a deep voice: "I am fast, as long as they don't go very far, I will find them." ”
"Brother Yu Sheng, don't go, let's wait for them to come back," Chen Xiaolan dragged Yu Sheng to the death, not letting him leave, the wetness in the palm of her hand soaked Yu Sheng's sleeves, she said in fear: "My brother went, now he is the same as his mother, I don't know where to go, if you become the same as my brother, what should I do." ”
"It's not an option, and if something happens to them, I can at least help them." Yu Sheng tore Chen Xiaolan's hand away, looked at her and said softly, "Trust me, I will get them back." ”
“…… Well, of course I believe in Brother Yusheng. Chen Xiaolan nodded, trying to calm her heart, thinking about the extraordinary things for the rest of her life, and comforting herself.
The old courtyard gate cut off Chen Xiaolan's sight, and with it, the back of the rest of her life gradually disappeared.
……
The roads in the village lead in all directions, and it is difficult for one person to guess where one person will go when he walks into the village.
But for the rest of his life, this question has long been answered.
These days, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Chen Dashan and Wang Ying rarely went to the east of the village, as if they deliberately avoided it and did not let people know.
Moreover, when Chen Dashan and Wang Ying came back that day, the first footsteps were also gradually approaching in the east.
As the sky grew brighter, the sound of roosters crowed in the village, and the shadow of the rest of his life appeared and disappeared in the east of the village, but no matter how he searched, he couldn't find any trace of Wang Ying and Chen Dashan.
Could it be that he guessed wrong?
At this moment, a dirty blue cloth caught his attention, he remembered that the clothes Chen Dashan was wearing were blue, and it happened to be torn, this piece of cloth seemed to be torn from Chen Dashan's clothes, which should be the mark he made before.
Yu Sheng stopped, looked at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him, and his eyes narrowed.
If he remembers it well, it seems to be the place where Sanpi lives.
The yard was quiet, the broken door was pushed open, and the ground was overgrown with weeds, but in the house, it was also quiet, dirty tables and chairs, pungent smell, there was no trace of people, and Sanpi, who should have slept in the house, could not see any trace.
Where did the people go?
At this time, Yu Sheng found that in the corner of the house, there was a stone statue enshrined, the stone statue had a sickle in one hand and a bowl in the other, and the expression on his face was half crying and half laughing, just looking at it made people uneasy.
Yu Sheng clenched his fists, the eyes of the stone statue had no pupils, and like the body, they were completely carved from stone, but Yu Sheng always felt that the stone statue was looking at him.
That vague feeling of gaze made him feel very awkward.
Click-
Just when Yu Sheng decided to crush the stone statue, a crack spread from the stone statue's face, instantly shattering the entire stone body.
At the same time, footsteps entered the house, gritting their teeth and roaring, looking at the rest of their lives.
"Dead dumb! What are you doing in my house? Sanpi looked at the shattered statue in the corner, his face changed instantly, and he looked at the rest of his life with hatred.
"What is this?" Yu Sheng pointed to the broken stone statue and said coldly.
"What do you call me?" Sanpi said angrily, and then his expression froze, and said, "Can you speak?" You're not dumb? ”
Yu Sheng didn't bother to tell Sanpiduo, he didn't know the traces of Wang Ying and the others now, these three skins were the only clues, and the anxiety in his heart made him take a step forward and pinched Sanpi's neck with one hand.
"I ask you, what is this thing?" Yu Sheng asked coldly.
Sanpi tore the rest of his life hard, and in his opinion, the good strength hit Yu Sheng's body, but there was no pain, but his hand seemed to be hit on the iron, and his fists hurt.
After recognizing the reality, he felt that the strength of the fingers on his neck was getting stronger and stronger, which made him a little breathless, and Sanpi resigned himself to his fate and said: "You, you let go, I will tell you." ”
Yu Sheng snorted and let go of his hand, waiting for his reply.
Sanpi took a few breaths, raised his head, and looked at Yu Sheng with a sneer.
"If you want to know, then I'll tell you."
"That stone statue is the god enshrined in the Pusheng Sect, the god of the underworld!"
"If you shatter the idol of the god of the underworld, you will be cursed with death!"
"You're dead!"
