Chapter 21: The Red Girl

Deng Guihua and Wang Jia returned to the rental house.

Just as he was about to open the door, a woman's voice came from behind him.

The two turned around and saw a woman in a goose-yellow blouse standing behind them.

The door behind her was open.

Apparently, she had just come out of that place.

Seeing the woman calling them, Deng Guihua and Wang Jia glanced at each other.

They didn't know the woman, and they hadn't seen her anywhere else.

The woman seemed to be very familiar with the two of them.

She invited the two girls into the house to sit down.

Seeing her sincere smile, Deng Guihua and Wang Jia actually agreed.

So, they followed the strange woman into her house.

The woman's room was very neat and clean.

There is a very special smell in the air.

It's very similar to the smell of the little white flower.

The woman invited the two girls to sit down, and then she poured a glass of water for each of them.

Through the transparent glass, Deng Guihua saw that there was a dark green leaf in the cup, and the shape of the leaf looked like a long heart.

There was nothing else in the cup except this leaf.

Holding the water glass, he sniffed it gently.

This water is like tea.

With a faint aroma of tea.

Smell it carefully, but there is an indescribable feeling, as if I smelled it a long time ago, I feel familiar, but I can't remember it.

The woman sat on another couch, and she poured herself a glass of water.

Seeing that the two girls didn't dare to drink.

She smiled and blew on the tea, then took a sip:

"It's called Red Girl, and it tastes slightly bitter, but I think you'll get used to it."

Red Girl?

What is this?

After listening to the woman's words, the two girls glanced at each other.

Holding the cup in his hand, looking at the leaf suspended in the water, neither of them dared to drink it first.

The woman continued:

"There is actually a legend about the origin of this red girl, do you listen?"

Listening to the woman's words, Wang Jia nodded with Deng Guihua.

The woman said and took another sip of tea, and began to tell the story of the "Red Girl":

Once upon a time, there was a girl, and people called her the Red Girl.

The Red Maiden lives in the mountains.

At home, there are a pair of parents and a younger brother who is only three years old, although life is hard, but it is also happy.

The Red Girl is very capable.

There are many specialties in the mountains, and there are countless kinds of mushrooms.

Before dawn, the red girl carried a basket up the mountain to pick mushrooms.

Wild mushrooms are very popular with diners outside the mountains, and the price is also very high, and the money from the red girl picking mushrooms is the main source of income for the family.

The red girl picked mushrooms and walked more than ten miles of mountain roads to sell them outside.

She fed her whole family.

She also bought herself new clothes.

The Red Girl loves this kind of life very much.

Some of the mushrooms that can't be sold are too much, and the red girl will bring them home.

The mother cooks in the simplest and most primitive way.

A little vegetable oil, garlic sautéed.

Wash the sliced mushrooms and stir-fry them a few times.

If the garlic does not change color, this proves that the mushroom is non-toxic.

Add a little dried chili pepper and stir-fry, plus a little salt, so that a simple and simple stir-fried mushroom can be eaten.

It is normal for people in the mountains to eat mushrooms.

Then this time, the mushrooms that the red girl picked back went wrong.

Obviously, the garlic did not change color, but the family was poisoned.

After the neighbors who came to the door found that the family of three had been poisoned, they hurriedly called a doctor. When the doctor arrived, except for me, the red girl, who was still alive, the other three people were all broken.

It took a lot of effort for the doctor to save the red girl from the ghost gate.

There was only herself left at home all of a sudden, and such a blow broke the red girl's liver and intestines.

She placed the bodies of her parents and brother in her home, and sat on the side without saying a word.

And so it was for the night.

Early the next morning, the red girl suddenly opened the door and came out.

When the neighbors saw her, they found that although she was so thin that she was out of shape, her mental state was quite good.

She wore one of her favorite dresses.

On his face, he also specially applied some fat powder.

She carried her back and went out again as before.

In the evening, the Red Maiden returned.

This time, when she came back, she sang and laughed at the same time, and greeted everyone she met.

People thought she had a mental problem.

But the red girl didn't say anything, and when she got home, she closed the door of the house.

The next day, something strange happened.

In the Red Girl's family, the three people who died were all brought back to life.

And it was originally placed in the mourning hall of a family of three, but it was the red girl herself who fell asleep at the moment.

People are amazing.

The parents of the red girl cried over their daughter's corpse.

The bystanders asked them what happened there, and the two said, "My daughter, she went to the Ghost Gate Pass, and used her own life to exchange the three of us back!" ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

After the Red Girl died, her parents buried her on the mountain.

It wasn't long before a plant grew around her grave.

In this plant, the leaves are in the shape of long hearts.

It is used to soak in water and drink, and the taste is slightly bitter.

After listening to the woman's introduction, Wang Jia and Deng Guihua were a little stunned.

They looked at the leaf in the cup, and remembered what the woman had just said, and felt like they were listening to a fantasy.

But in the end, they still didn't drink a sip of this glass of water.

The woman didn't mind very much, she just said, "Take this red girl back a little, give the one in your house a little bit to eat, and the problem will be solved......"

Hearing this, Deng Guihua and Wang Jia gasped!

Later, the two left the woman's house.

In their hands, there are some more "red girls" brought back from the opposite door.

When I opened the door, it was pitch black.

The TV starts, emitting a little light.

Su Quan sat in the middle of the room, the TV was on, and a rule of law program was still playing inside, the host was a young man, sitting in front of the camera, and he was full of righteous indignation about the problem of breaking the law and committing crimes.

And Su Quan, holding a lit cigarette in his hand.

He crossed Erlang's legs and watched the TV with relish.

Sensing that someone was coming in at any time, Su Quan remained silent.

Without looking back, he took a hard puff of his cigarette.

Suddenly, half of the cigarette was gone.

Deng Guihua and Wang Jia glanced at each other, and the two walked into the living room holding hands.

They came to the middle of the living room, and their two pairs of eyes looked at Su Quan in unison.

After a pause, Deng Guihua took a deep breath, and she said to Su Quan: "You, do you want to eat something?" We'll make ...... for you."
