Chapter 286: Hongmeng's Death (9)

There were a few steaming pancakes in the bowl.

Twelve looked up at the old woman who put down the bowl, she smiled kindly: "There is nothing good to entertain you at home, I see that you have been hungry for a long time, you eat a few pancakes first, and I will kill a chicken for you and stew it later." ”

This old man is a lonely old man who lives alone, how can he be embarrassed to eat her chicken, Twelve hurriedly excused himself: "Mother-in-law, no need, the cheese and pancakes are very delicious, I don't eat chicken, I like this." ”

As he spoke, as if he was afraid that the old woman would not believe it, he picked up a pancake and took a big bite.

For Twelve, who has been hungry for a day, this is indeed a rare delicacy.

The old woman saw that she was eating well, and said with a smile: "Hehe, if you like it, I can't eat anything as an old woman who lives alone, and the chickens of every household in the village are put here with me, and I can't eat them until I die. ”

Twelve heard her mention the village, and while eating cheese, he looked up and asked her, "By the way, mother-in-law, where are all the people in your village?" Why are you the only one left? ”

The old woman sighed: "Hey, it's all gone, there is no one left, I'm old and can't hear, so I left it if I didn't use it, helping everyone look at the chickens, feeding the pigs, and herding the sheep, butβ€”β€”"

Speaking of which, the old woman had loneliness and helplessness on her face, and Twelve didn't know if she had opened a not-so-good topic.

"Woman, did I say the wrong thing?" Twelve asked cautiously.

The old woman waved her hand and said, "No, it's just that this village has been like this for more than 20 years, and I don't even know if my relatives and neighbors are still in this world, or if they have really ascended to immortal status as the immortal said." ”

"Immortals?" Twelve finished what he was holding and put down the bowl.

"Yes, I remember that it should be twenty-five years ago, an immortal suddenly came to our Lujia Village, he stepped on the four golden-footed beasts and came in the clouds, and the people in the village knelt down to worship when they saw it." The old woman squinted her eyes and fell into the memory.

Twenty-five years ago, on an ordinary afternoon, the arrival of the immortal made the entire Lujia Village explode, and the people took out the best sacrifices in the family to worship the immortal.

Just when everyone in the village was burning incense and bowing, the immortal spoke, he said, he was looking for a person, it was a woman, this woman was beautiful in appearance, slender in size, as long as he helped the immortal find her, the immortal would be able to make his family fly to the fairy world!

Since then, the people in the village have gone out to find someone, just hoping to take the whole family to soar together, even the old woman's son and daughter-in-law have also gone, leaving a three-year-old son for her to take care of.

Later, her grandson was also older, and when he heard about it, he ran to find someone.

Gradually, there was no one left in the village.

"And this kind of wonder?" In fact, Twelve doesn't believe it, everyone pays attention to chance and cultivation in cultivating immortals, how can a village with a mediocre cultivation come to an immortal?

The old woman looked at her as if she didn't believe it, patted her hand and said, "By the way, the immortal has sent a portrait of that woman to each family, and I will take it for you, you wait." ”

After taking him in and eating so much delicious food for himself, Twelve felt that he should be happy with the old woman, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll wait for you, you slow down." ”

The old woman ran into another room quite excitedly, and after rummaging through the cabinets for a long time, she finally found a painting scroll of a jade shaft.

She held the scroll in her hand, handed it to Twelve, and did not forget to instruct: "You can be careful, I only have this one here, and if it is broken, it will be gone." ”

Twelve smiled: "Okay mother-in-law, I know." ”

She took the painting scroll, the whole body of the green jade shaft touched the warmth, even the twelve had to admire, this immortal is really generous, the best warm jade was used by him as a painting scroll to give away.

Twelve shook her head, opened the scroll in her hand, and a picture of a beautiful woman with a divine pen appeared in front of her.

The person in the painting is wearing a pink ayara and a white hosta on his head, and his facial features are not whitewashed but still shocking.

Twelve looked at the painting in front of him and was stunned, it was none other than her predecessor, Su Zhiyu.

She asked her mother-in-law in a panic: "Mother-in-law, did the immortals say who is the surname of the person in the painting?" ”

The old woman pointed to the inscription on the painting: "Oh, isn't this all written?" ”

The font on the paper is written with the word Su Zhiyu, and the red seal is engraved with the night breeze.

She looked at these three words excitedly and muttered to herself: "You're really looking for me, you're really looking for me-"

The old woman suddenly cried when she saw Twelve, and she was a little at a loss: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" You have something to say, what are you crying about? ”

Twelve wiped his tears, raised his red eyes and asked the old woman, "Old woman, do you remember what the immortal looked like?" ”

The old woman crossed her waist and thought, "I don't remember what it looks like, but there is something very eye-catching." ”

"What's that?"

"The fairy has long silver hair and a strange mask that looks like a bird's beak, and at first glance it's a little scaryβ€”"

Long silver hair, beak mask –

These two traits went back and forth in Twelve's mind.

"No way, this can't be!" Twelve said with some confusion, "He can't be the Night Breeze, there must be something wrong with this!" Definitely! ”

Twelve turned to the old woman to confirm: "Mother-in-law, have you remembered too long and made a mistake?" How could a fairy wear a beak mask?! ”

The old woman said firmly: "My ears are not very good, but my eyes are not bad, it must be right, he has long silver hair and a black beak mask." ”

Hearing this, the hands holding the old woman's arms gradually slipped down, and she couldn't accept the fact that the night breeze she had been looking for was probably the Torizuka.

The old woman saw from her gaffe that she had something on her mind, so she said, "Girl, is the appearance of this immortal so important to you?" Is the girl in this painting any of your relatives? ”

She looked at Twelve's eyes sparkling, obviously confirming her own statement, Twelve shook his head: "Mother-in-law, I don't know the person in the painting, I'm just, I just suddenly feel a little tired-"

The old woman did not doubt him, and said sincerely, "If you are tired, rest quickly, I will go and make your bed, you must be tired after a day's journeyβ€”" She said as she began to clean up the bed.

Twelve still sat still, her eyes looking ahead as if she had lost all sparkle.

The old woman made up the bed, but saw that she was still sitting at the table in that position.
