Chapter 14: Opening the Door

In the past, when the villagers came, they knocked on the door, rudely and disorganized, and basically accompanied by shouting, but at this time, the knock on the door outside the courtyard was very steady, "Knock knock!" After three times, there is a pause.

The two okra stood on the steps in front of the temple, and she heard her heart beat faster, but her face was pretending to be calm.

Wang Xianghai was not as calm as her, swallowed his saliva, did not dare to answer the door, and asked in a voice that only two people have: "It's really here, who is it, you give me the bottom!" ”

Where did she know who it was, grabbed Wang Xianghai's collar and said, "Answer the door!" ”

"Me?" Wang Xianghai hesitated, not wanting to come out of this.

Okra pushed him, and he reluctantly asked, "Who's knocking on the door?" ”

There was no response from outside the door, but there were three more knocks.

"Knock knock—"

A cold sweat broke out on Wang Xianghai's forehead, he looked at her with his eyes, okra glared at him, he wiped it with his wide sleeves, and asked, "Who?" Newspaper the name! ”

"The old man passed by this village late at night, and heard that there was a river god, so he came to visit!" Outside the door was an old man's voice, low and weak, like he hadn't eaten in days!

Wang Xianghai raised his throat and said: "It's late at night, please go back, the river god is gone!" ”

The other end responded, and continued to knock on the door.

"Knock knock—" The knock on the door was slow and orderly, like an urge, and the hearts of the people in the courtyard were swaying.

In the past, grandma often taught her, don't panic in case of trouble, ghosts are afraid of people strong, people are afraid of people strong, although she is now just a good-for-nothing yellow-haired girl, but the first time she deals, no one knows anyone, and the momentum is about to be enough, so she dragged a chair next to her, put it in the center of the temple steps, and sat down!

Wang Xianghai's eyes bulged so much that the boss glared at her: What are you doing, everyone is coming to the door, do you want to drink tea?

Okra pretended to be calm and ordered: "Wang Xianghai, go open the door!" ”

"What's on?" He thinks okra is crazy, he doesn't dare to respond to someone shouting his name behind his back at night, and he doesn't know if it's a person or a ghost outside, so he dares to open the door?

"Open the door!" She once again emphasized that this momentum Wang Banxian had never seen before, and he was so bluffed through the courtyard that he timidly pulled up the bolt behind the door, and at about the same time, a wind outside the door blew the wooden door open, Wang Xianghai hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, and sighed in his heart: This is a capable person!

The door opened, and outside stood an old man in ragged clothes, with a wooden staff of age, the head of which was carved with a snake's head, which had been polished to shine because of its age.

Looking at the old man's face again, there was no trace of flesh, the old wrinkled skin hung on his face, his mouth was sunken because of the loss of teeth, and his eyes were dull, who would have thought that such a bad old man begging for food could kill people in an instant.

The old man first saw Wang Xianghai behind the door, and he had expected that he was at a loss, and before he came, he knew very clearly, but he was a face-to-face god in the countryside, thinking that he wanted to do great things after worshipping a Taoist priest in the temple for a few days and learning Taoism? Worse than useless!

He looked closely at the center of the courtyard, but saw a girl in red sitting in the middle of the courtyard, her face was peaceful, without fear, the old man's eyes suddenly opened, and he said slowly: "I saw you girl stupid and stunned during the day, I never thought that it was more kind than this surnamed Wang!" Dare to open the door to welcome the old age? ”

Okra's sitting posture has not changed, and he replied respectfully but not humbly: "The seniors came to visit late at night, and the juniors did not see the reason, and besides, the seniors had given a meeting gift before they came, how could the juniors not see?" ”
