142. Granny Wu
After laughing for a while, we continued to go up the mountain, Qi Tianyang and the three of them walked while observing, I don't understand those feng shui or anything, just look at the east and west, and enjoy the surrounding scenery.
Until Junzi stepped forward and stopped us: "Mr. Qi, don't go up any further, we should go back now, if we go up again, we won't be able to go back to eat in time." ”
Since Shunzi asked us to eat, it may mean that the big landlord of Zhu is waiting for us to eat, so we turned back halfway without noticing.
It wasn't until I passed by the flat ground where I rested when I came up that I couldn't help but stop Junko, pointed to the attic and asked, "Junko, that attic is so exquisite, who lives in it?" ”
"Oh, it's our eldest lady. Didn't the eldest lady of our family fall ill a year ago, and she almost died when she asked for medical advice everywhere to no avail. Later, our lord invited Liu Daochang, and it was he who saved the eldest lady's life. "Shunzi seems to think that this matter is not a **, and you can know it if you ask casually, so she didn't hide it from us," This attic was also built by Daochang Liu, saying that it was good for the eldest lady, so as not to be harassed by evil things. ”
Listening to Junko's words, I snorted coldly in my heart, it's easier to be harassed by evil things!
"Oh, this Daochang Liu is really powerful, then do you know who introduced this Daochang Liu to your master?" Qi Tianyang pretended to be curious and asked.
"This, I really don't know, I just know that the master went out and brought back Liu Daochang, that Liu Daochang, he is really powerful, just opened the altar twice, and saved our critically ill eldest lady, and then this Liu Daochang was treated as a guest by my master." Junko smiled and explained.
Junzi said with an expression of adoration, looking at my heart, if he knew that this powerful and sanctimonious Taoist Liu was a demon who drank blood, how would he feel?
Seeing that Junko seemed to know everything, we didn't ask much, at least it was confirmed that Mrs. Zhu lived in this attic, and it was indeed someone who wanted to harm her.
I followed Junko down the mountain, and suddenly, I felt a stiffness behind me, as if something was staring at me?
That feeling, Cen Leng's gaze, as if a beast taking a fancy to its prey, made me break out in a cold sweat in an instant, and the movement of walking forward also stiffened.
"What's wrong?" Qi Tianyang noticed my abnormality at the first time.
I was about to throw myself into his arms, but suddenly I felt as if I could move? And behind him, the sight from the "predator" seems to have disappeared.
"I, I just felt like someone was watching me, but now it seems to be gone." I replied in a trembling voice.
Qi Tianyang frowned and glanced behind me, "It's okay, it may be your delusion." ”
I nodded, but was it really an illusion?
When we went back, we came in from the side door of Zhu's house, Zhu's house is very large, the owner seems to be only a few, but there are a lot of people, we came in a side yard, in which a group of mothers-in-law are washing clothes, wooden basins, mallets, soaphorns, well water, once again refreshed our world view.
At this time, my eyes were drawn to a mother-in-law sitting in the courtyard, full of silver threads, described as withered, but her face was kind, and she was holding a few red ropes in her hands.
Strange, don't her eyes send?
As if sensing my gaze, the old woman looked up at me, smiled kindly, and then beckoned to me: "Little girl, come." ”
When Shunzi saw it, she hurriedly went up to the old woman and greeted respectfully: "Granny Wu, are you enjoying the cool here?" ”
Granny Wu? Looking at the age of this mother-in-law, isn't it the oldest mother-in-law in the village that the group of village women said?
"yes, I'm waiting for someone here." Granny Wu smiled at Junko and turned her gaze to us again.
She seemed interested in us.
Qi Tianyang and I glanced at each other, stepped forward to Granny Wu, and I smiled and said, "Hello, Granny Wu." ”
"Eh, good!" Granny Wu's face turned into a chrysanthemum, "No outsiders have come to the village for many years. ”
"Mother-in-law, these are the lord's guests, and the lord is waiting for them to eat!" Junko looked at the sun and explained.
Granny Wu raised her head, looked at the sun, nodded, and said with some disappointment: "I thought someone had finally come to chat with me, an old woman." The expression on his face, the indescribable disappointment.
"Well, mother-in-law, why don't we come and talk to you after dinner." I said, if you release the pigeon of the big landlord of Zhu, it is obviously impolite, this Granny Wu is also what we want to find, but since we have found it, it is not bad for this meal.
"Hey, good." Granny Wu nodded with satisfaction, waved her hand, and said, "You guys have to hurry." ”
"You need to hurry" For some reason, my heart suddenly "clanged! A bad premonition came out of my heart, and this sentence was like a spell, urging me to speed up.
"What's wrong with you?" Qi Tianyang looked at me and asked with concern.
I turned back to him and smiled, not knowing how to explain it, but saying, "Hurry up, I'm so hungry." ”
"Yoyo," Qi Tianyang called me, "don't stay too far away from me, if they don't provoke us, don't worry about these things." Qi Tianyang's brows furrowed tightly.
I was taken aback by his expression. Qi Tianyang's expression was too serious, could it be that this matter was difficult to solve? Even if it is with the power of breaking snow and Ji Sun?
I nodded, nervousness lingering in my heart.
……
I ate the whole meal, and it was tasteless. Although it is said that the landlord of Zhu is still as warm and hospitable as ever. After the whole meal, there was also talking and laughing, lively and lively, but I still couldn't help but feel depressed.
After lunch, I pulled Qi Tianyang to find Granny Wu, "Let's go, let's go see Granny Wu!" "I don't know how to describe it, but I can't wait to meet the old man.
"Wait a while..."Qi Tianyang stopped, as if there was something to arrange.
I saw him walk up to Ji Sun and Poxue and say something, and then the two nodded at him and went out.
Seeing Qi Tianyang walking towards me, I wondered, "What are they doing?" ”
Qi Tian raised me, "You'll know later, don't you want to go to Granny Wu?" Don't hurry up yet! ”
I pursed my lips, didn't say anything about pulling down, and raised my feet and walked towards the courtyard where I had just seen Granny Wu.
Along the way, it was not as lively as just now, there were almost no people on the road, and looking at the empty path, my heart panicked all of a sudden.
I felt that these were inseparable from Granny Wu, and I patted my head and felt that my thoughts were too ridiculous.
Pulling this Qi Tianyang's hand, his steps involuntarily accelerated, and finally he approached a trot.
"What are you running?" Qi Tianyang is very strange.
I didn't say anything, just walked briskly.
It wasn't until I entered the courtyard where I met Granny Wu that I was relieved to see that Granny Wu was still sitting there, with something in her hand and still braiding the little red rope. I don't know why, I just had a feeling of "if I can't see Granny Wu, it's a big deal".
"Granny Wu." I screamed.
Granny Wu raised her head and saw me, and immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Little girl, come on, are you here to listen to my story?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, I heard that my mother-in-law is very good at telling stories." ”
There was no one in the yard anymore, and there was only Granny Wu left, so I casually moved two small stools and sat in front of Granny Wu with Qi Tianyang, "Mother-in-law, what about those people?" ”
Granny Wu seemed to know that I was asking about the servant who was originally working here, so she nodded and said, "They're going to eat." ”
Luckily, I'm relieved, it's not what I thought it was......
Qi Tianyang and I are doing a good job side by side, waiting for the story of Granny Wu.
"When I first came to this village, I told them that my surname was 'Wu', but yes, they all thought I was a slip of the tongue and called me 'Wu Niang', this is a simple village, and the people in it are also honest and kind, I see that they don't know about the outside world, so they don't explain much."
Granny Wu said, clearly organized, not at all like an old lady in her nineties.
"There is only one family in this village, the Zhu Mansion is very rich, and the old lady in it saw that I was helpless, so he took me in and asked me to do things in this Zhu Mansion, and this is for decades. I'm living well here and never want to go back to that place again. ”
That place? Qi Tianyang and I glanced at each other, and I spoke, "Mother-in-law, that place?" ”
"It's where I grew up, and the people there have only done one thing since they were born, and that is to raise Gu." Granny Wu said, giving us a meaningful look.
