Chapter Ninety-Six: Red Rain
The woman just lowered her head, and the snoring of a man could already be heard in the room on one side.
"Has anything unusual happened around here lately?" Beilin looked at the woman expressionlessly and asked.
The woman was stunned for a moment, shook her head, and then, suddenly remembered something, and nodded.
"About seven or eight days ago, it rained red in the village, and the wooden houses on the north side of the village were on fire." The woman replied.
"Red Rain?" I was a little surprised, the red rain from the sky was a bad omen.
"The cabin to the north is on fire?" Stygian Beilin muttered and repeated.
"Yes, it's on fire for no reason." As the woman spoke, she seemed to think of something: "Like, like, that night, there was some strange cry, sharper than the crowing of a rooster." ”
When he heard this, he stood up suddenly, and without saying a word, he was about to walk towards the door.
"Where are you going?" I hurriedly asked.
Beilin didn't answer my question, and directly ordered Jiuyou to wait here, and he went out by himself.
We all sat around the low stove, which was considered to keep warm, but now, the night wind was strong and a little cold.
After the woman put the child to sleep, she put the child into the room and boiled us hot water to drink.
After everyone drank the hot water, they also began to have a sentence, and they chatted without a word.
"Sister-in-law, are you a local? What is this village called? There seem to be very few people in the village. I looked at the woman and asked.
The woman shook her head: "No, a few years ago, I passed by here, and I went to Xiangcheng to join my uncle, but as a result?" ”
"As a result, why did you stay here?" I was puzzled: "Is it that the coil has run out?" ”
"Me, me? After staying, I don't want to leave. The woman seemed to be a little unspeakable, sighed, and the expression on her face was a little lonely.
"This marriage is all the words of the matchmaker ordered by your parents, you stay here to get married, can you inform your family?" I asked.
"My parents are dead." She paused as she spoke: "There is only one uncle in Xiangcheng." ”
"Jiuyou, will we pass through Xiangcheng along the way?" I looked at Jiuyou.
Jiuyou was stunned and nodded: "Yes." ”
"Do you have anything you need us to convey on your behalf?" I asked, looking at the emaciated, wounded woman.
She was stunned for a moment, and her bloodshot eyes immediately lifted, looked at me and stumbled: "Really, can you speak for me?" ”
"Hmm." I affirmed.
When the woman heard this, she immediately grabbed my hand, and then said excitedly: "Can you take Erya to Xiangcheng for me?" Entrusted to my uncle, she will starve to death sooner or later if she follows me. ”
"No way!"
Before I could say yes, the voice of the North Shadow rang out from outside the door.
Then he motioned for Jiuyou to continue driving, and we had to get out of here overnight.
"But, the horse?" Jiuyou looked at the horses outside that had just rested for a while, and hesitated.
"Just two more horses tomorrow." He didn't know why, but he was resolute.
We had to stand up one after another, and the woman, seeing that we were leaving, hurriedly turned around and went into the side room.
When I was about to climb into the carriage, she chased the sleeping child in her arms and carried her into my arms.
"Idle, Morley." He had already sat in the carriage, and he didn't seem to have the slightest sympathy for this mother and daughter.
"Please." She whimpered under her breath.
"Let's go together." I looked at her and wondered if the man would have beaten and tormented the woman if he woke up and found that the child was gone.
