Chapter 69: Xiuling's Secret
Since Lao Gui's family didn't have many guest rooms, only Su Jin and the other two girls in her team lived in Lao Gui's house, and the rest were scattered to rent nearby.
Lao Gui has been widowed for a long time, and he lives under the same roof with three little girls all day long, so outsiders can't guess it, and he is still a villain who can get a lot of money by staying at home and cooking.
Gradually, the village began to spread that Lao Gui was not ashamed, the golden house was hidden, and he was still three beautiful little girls, this is planning to renew the marriage!
Lao Gui naturally didn't care about these rumors, and as for Su Jin, they were either in the mountains or locked in their rooms, so naturally they couldn't hear these gossip.
About three months later, on a day of heavy rain, Lao Gui looked at the heavy rain outside the door and was worried about whether Su Jin and the others would be in danger in the mountains, but they didn't expect that the group of people really came back, but their condition at that time was not normal.
The rain that day was surprisingly heavy, almost able to smash people down, the nine people braved the heavy rain to return to Lao Gui's house, all soaked, and two of them had accidents, and they were almost out of breath when they came back.
Those people only told Lao Gui that they had encountered a flash flood in the mountains, and nothing else was said. With such heavy rain, it is normal to say that it is normal to encounter flash floods, but the strange thing is that two of the nine people who had an accident could not see the slightest wound on their bodies, including their clothes, all of them were intact, but the seven people who did not have an accident were covered with wounds all over their bodies, and their clothes were also tattered, which was quite embarrassing.
Although Lao Gui was strange, this group of people was very mysterious, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only send hot water and dry clothes to the other party.
The two people who looked like they were about to die were sent out of the mountain after staying up all night at Lao Gui's house, and then Su Jin and the rest of the people also left Toast Tai one after another. Before leaving, Su Jin told Lao Gui that they would come back again, and agreed on a time for Lao Gui to go out of the mountain to pick up, this is a big customer, Lao Gui naturally will not refuse, so Su Jin didn't even take away the luggage, so he stayed at Lao Gui's house.
It is said that this is a great good thing to be able to guard these people to get money without going out, but what Lao Gui didn't expect was that the rumors that he had been ignoring before had caused Xiu Ling to be seriously hurt.
Before that, Xiu Ling basically didn't go home because she was boarding in the town to study, unless it was winter and summer vacations. When Xiuling returned home from vacation, she heard those rumors, at first she didn't believe them, but when she found out about Su Jin's various feminine products left at home, her heart, which was already lacking love, was seriously hurt, and she collapsed.
What happened after that was what Lao Gui told us that night, and even so, Lao Gui lied to us in many places.
First of all, when Xiu Ling committed suicide by throwing himself into the water gourd, Lao Gui was not at home, because that day happened to be the date he had agreed with Su Jin, and he left the village early in the morning.
Secondly, it was not Su Jin who bumped into Xiu Ling throwing into the river, Lao Gui was also there at the time, but Su Jin was faster than him, and he was the first to rush to the water gourd and rescue Xiu Ling.
The last point, and the most critical point, was the monster that almost killed Xiu Ling in the water, and Su Jin recognized it at that time.
It was a little different from what the Taoist priest told us, when Su Jin saw the monster, he shouted the word 'shark' with a shocked expression, instead of the Yaksha ghost that the Taoist priest said to us.
When Xiu Ling said this, the Taoist priest felt a little unbearable on his face, and couldn't help but interrupt Xiu Ling's words, and shouted: "Immeasurable, you are an Amitabha, little girl, you don't talk nonsense, how can that thing be a merman?" The legendary merman lives on the coast of the East China Sea, and it was extinct as early as a thousand years ago, how can it appear in the hinterland of the 100,000 mountains where birds don't? ”
I also feel a little strange, we have heard about the legend of the merman from Lao Gui's mouth, but in the story of Lao Gui, the merman is the protector of the local people in Guazhou, and the mermaid is also known as the mermaid, which is a beautiful existence of half man and half fish, and what we saw underwater that night, except for countless disgusting tentacles, there is nothing else.
The Taoist priest is the only one who can see the appearance of the monster clearly, but the image he and we describe is also completely in line with the appearance of the Yaksha ghost, and the merman, it is really 108,000 miles away.
Regarding the Taoist priest's questioning, Xiu Ling just shook her head and said that she didn't know either, these were all told to her by Su Jin, and those in the water were sharks, who came down from the silverfish ditch.
We looked at each other, and we all didn't believe it, but then we thought about it, the local legend did say that there was a tributary near the Daxu River valley that led directly to the fairyland where the sharks lived.
I said my thoughts, but they were immediately rejected by the Taoist priest.
"It can't be!" The Taoist priest said with great certainty: "The merman is a merman, and the Yaksha ghost is the Yaksha ghost, both of these things are recorded in the Taoist scriptures, and they are not the same thing at all." ”
Xiu Ling said: "Could it be that the rumors are wrong, in fact, the merman has this virtue, but the locals deliberately said that it is the image of a beautiful woman in order to beautify the image of the merman immortal?" ”
"Well, it's not impossible! Many places that rely on the tourism economy in order to attract tourists, will dig up all kinds of local folk legends, to transform, or even simply make up nonsense, just imagine, if the legend of the beautiful merman image is replaced by the Taoist priest to describe the honor, who will come to see the merman's posture? ”
The doctor's explanation is quite reasonable, but if the truth is what he said, then this merman is a little disappointing, not worthy of the name, and so dangerous, you must know that we almost died at the hands of the monster, which is completely different from the beautiful image of the merman.
After the Taoist priest finished the fork, Xiu Ling continued.
After Xiuling was rescued by Su Jin, she was originally very disgusted with this woman who was likely to replace her mother, but after a little contact, Xiuling felt a long-lost love in Su Jin, which was a feeling that her mother only had when she was alive.
Under Su Jin's care, Xiu Ling untied the knot in her heart and knew the truth, but at this time, she really expected Su Jin to become her mother. So, Xiu Ling recognized Su Jin's aunt, and then what happened later, there was not much difference from what Lao Gui said.
Xiu Ling finished speaking, but we still didn't get the answer we wanted, why did the appearance of that picture make her so excited?
Just when I couldn't help but just want to ask, Xiu Ling took the initiative to change the topic to the map.
She looked at the picture, her expression was complicated, and she said to us: "Aunt Su Jin is very mysterious, and they are doing the same mysterious thing, once, after they came back from the mountain, they hurriedly returned to the room to be busy, I made delicious food and sent it to Aunt Su Jin, but I didn't expect to hear a secret by mistake." ”
I don't know Aunt Su Jin's true identity,
