Chapter 227: Strange Old Man
Tang Xiao's words had just come to this. Suddenly, I heard a noise coming from the back room!
It's not too loud though. However, I just happened to hear it!
My heart was shaken! There's someone in the back room!
So, I made a silent gesture to Tang Xiao and them. Then, lying on the door panel of the inner room slightly, I listened to the movement inside.
After Tang Xiao and the others saw me like this, they all seemed to be thieves, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.
Lele didn't care about climbing onto the kang. Then, he sat on the edge of the kang. It's a complete look of ignoring the things around you!
I didn't speak, just listened quietly to the movement inside.
Gradually, I heard a "whoosh" gasp coming from the back room. It's like pulling a wind box! It's like phlegm stuck in my throat and eyes, and I'm breathing hard. After hearing this voice, people feel uncomfortable all over their bodies! There's always an urge to cough twice and clear your throat!
Now that I know that there are people in there, I will no longer be polite. Pushed open the door and walked in.
However, the moment I pushed the door open, a rancid smell came to my face. Caught off guard, I almost didn't throw it up after smelling it!
I hurriedly held my breath and looked into the room.
I saw that the room was filled with a thick layer of dust. It seems like no one has been in for a long time! The sunlight could barely shine through the glass windows, which were almost covered in dust. However, there was too much dust in the house. It feels like it's foggy! Look at everything is foggy!
Just as I was frowning and looking around, there was a sudden "whoosh" sound behind me.
I hurriedly turned my head to look. However, the surrounding light was so cloudy that I couldn't see what was in front of me. So, I couldn't help but slowly walk forward.
As I got closer to the voice, I could see a large iron bed in front of me. The iron bed was covered with all kinds of miscellaneous items. And this sound is coming from all this clutter!
Tang Xiao walked up to me at this time and said to me, "Lin Shuo, what is in here?" Could it be some kind of wild cat, wild dog or something? ”
I shook my head and said, "I don't know the specifics!" I'll have to see to know! ”
Speaking of this, I smiled at Tang and said, "You retreat to the door first, and once something happens, leave this house with your cousin immediately." And lock the door! There is joy outside, and I believe you will not encounter any danger! ”
Hearing me say this, Tang Xiao hurriedly shook his head: "No, I can't let you be here alone!" ”
I gave her a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry! I'll be fine! Have you forgotten what I'm capable of? ”
At this point, I spoke again and said, "Obedient, if you are here, it will distract me!" ”
Hearing me say this, Tang Xiao finally nodded. It's a promise!
After Tang Xiao and the others retreated to the door, I took a deep breath. Then, he slowly stretched out his hand and moved the clutter that had been piled up on the bed off the bed little by little.
A!
Two pieces!
Three-piece ......
As I moved slowly, there were fewer and fewer clutter on the iron bed.
However, at this very time. Suddenly, a dark figure emerged from the rest of the clutter and yelled at me.
I was taken aback! The body reflexes a rapid retreat.
The shadow reached out and grabbed me, but it didn't. Then, he sat on the iron bed and stopped messing around.
And at this time, I finally saw the true face of the black shadow in front of me!
I saw that this was actually an old man with a wrinkled face!
I took a rough look at him, and saw that the old man was dressed in tatters and grizzled face. I can't tell how old I am! It's just that all the hair on the head has fallen out, revealing the top of the brain that is also wrinkled. He still seems to have age spots on his face. However, because there is so much dust, I really can't see clearly!
And this old man seemed to be senile at the moment, just sitting quietly on the iron bed, playing with his fingers. The mouth is vague, and I don't know what I'm humming and chirping.
Seeing this old man, I couldn't help but ask him, "Who are you?" Is this the owner of this house? ”
When the old man heard my words, he stopped humming the voice he had just said. Instead, he slowly raised his head and looked at me. Then, in a hoarse voice, one word came out to me: "Meat!" ”
I was stunned! I don't understand what he means by "meat"?
Just then, my cousin came over. Tsai stared at the old man carefully for a while, and then couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, do you remember me?" I'm your granddaughter-in-law! ”
Suddenly hearing my cousin say this, I just reacted. It turned out that this old man was actually the grandfather of his cousin's husband.
However, when the old man heard his cousin's words, he only glanced at her. muttered, "Meat! ”
I'm a little confused. Why does this old man keep saying such a word over and over again? What does this mean exactly?
Just when I was puzzled, I suddenly realized that my cousin actually reached out and tried to wipe the dust off the old man's face.
However, at this time, the old man suddenly leaned down and bit down on his cousin's hand.
Seeing this scene, I grabbed my cousin's hand without hesitation and pulled her back.
And the old man also bit the air directly. Then, it was back to the way it was before. Sit there quietly! Except for the word "meat", nothing was said!
My cousin looked at me in fear. Then, he turned to me and asked, "This...... What the hell is going on? Why did Grandpa become like this? ”
Hearing my cousin's question, I couldn't explain it at all. Now it seems that something is really wrong with this village! It hadn't been half an hour since we entered the village. However, one after another, we felt that this village was unusual!
I frowned, smiled at my cousin and Tang and said, "Let's go!" Let's go out and talk about it! ”
With that, the three of us withdrew from the back room. After coming to the room where Lele was, Lele was still the same as just now, sitting there indifferently as a bystander.
At this time, I suddenly realized that there was an offering table in this room. The entire offering table is laid out with announcements. Then, a red curtain was placed outside. The overall feeling is clean and clean, which is incompatible with the other furnishings in this house!
When I saw this offering table, I suddenly thought of something. Then, he walked slowly over to the side of the offering table. Then I slowly reached out to lift the red curtain to see if it was the thing I had guessed.
And just like that, my hand slowly approached the red curtain. Then, gently grasp the corner of the red curtain, just as it is about to be lifted. Suddenly, there was a loud bang coming out of the outside! It scared all three of us at the same time!
Tang Xiao and her cousin exclaimed at the same time, and couldn't help but ask me, "What's the matter?" What's going on? ”
I didn't speak, but ran straight out of the room.
Tang Xiao and her cousin also followed at this time. Even Lele, who has always been indifferent to our affairs, followed at this time.
We just stood quietly in the courtyard, completely unsure of what that voice was all about.
However, at this moment, another loud noise came out.
This time, I heard clearly. This is actually the sound of firecrackers! And, from the back of the village!
I couldn't help but ask my cousin, "Cousin, what is the back of this village for?" Why would anyone fire a cannon? ”
My cousin hurriedly said to me, "At the back of the village, there is an ancestral hall in the village, and no matter how big or small things are in the village, red and white ceremonies will be held in that ancestral hall." ”
When I heard my cousin say this, it dawned on me! No wonder there doesn't seem to be a single figure in the village, so it's all over there at this time!
So, after a brief discussion, we went in the direction of the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall of this village is not in the village like the temple village. It's separated from the whole village!
The ancestral hall is at the back of the village and can only be reached by walking a winding path. And the whole ancestral hall looks like the mansion of a big family, very magnificent! Green bricks, red tiles, cinnabar gates! At a glance, you can see that the villagers in Suoshen Village respect their ancestors very much!
And at this time, the ancestral hall was crowded with people inside and out! Far away, we can hear the laughter and laughter coming from the ancestral hall, as well as the cheerful music of the suona.
Vaguely, I also saw a pair of red couplets hanging on the door of the ancestral hall. As for what is written, because there are so many people around, I can't see clearly. It looks like there's a wedding going on in this ancestral hall!
Seeing this, I was also secretly relieved. In the past, no matter where I went, I would encounter dead people. I didn't expect to meet a marriage in this village! That's definitely a good thing!
In this way, we came to the entrance of the ancestral hall and looked through the cracks in the people.
We can see that in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, a couple is receiving the blessings of their loved ones.
The couple did not wear a wedding dress like in the city, but a new red dress that was antique. It looks extraordinarily festive!
At this time, I didn't know how far the wedding was going, but I saw that all the young people around me began to get married at this time......
