Chapter 236: The Ruins Are Attacked
Ruhua shook suddenly, if she hadn't been holding the child in her hands, she would have pushed her away. "Girl, you ......"
"Sister, don't be nervous, I just want to know how this pendant came about? Because, the owner of this pendant is also my friend! Xin'er hurriedly explained.
"Is he also a friend of my sister? Does that girl know where he is? Hearing Xin'er say this, Ruhua eagerly asked her, "I haven't seen him for months!" He came to see me every few days, and even if he had something, it wouldn't last more than ten days. But this time, he was gone, and he never appeared again! ”
"Sister Ruhua, his name is Ye Rumo, isn't it? He gave it to you, didn't he? "It is estimated that Ye Rumo also took Ruhua as a smoke willow, so he gave her this pendant. Ye Rumo is a wooden and indifferent person, who can give things to a woman, and the meaning of this is already very clear. Looking like a flower, I must also like the night like ink.
Ruhua looked at Xin'er, but said with a lonely face: "Is his name Ye Rumo?" It turns out that his full name is Night Rumo! All he told me was that he was called Mo! Perhaps, like his sister, he thinks of me as another woman. Now, he must have found the woman who called the smoke willow, so he didn't come anymore! ”
Ye Rumo is not a person who can easily express his feelings, if he sends something like a flower, it means that he has identified this person. Perhaps, such flowers are really smoke willows!
Thinking like this, Xin'er couldn't help but look at Ruhua again. If Ruhua is really a smoke willow, how did she become Ruhua. Pillar and aunt, it's impossible that neither of them know!
"Sister Ruhua. If he shows up again, you'll tell him I've been here! Just say my name is Xin'er, and he'll know! ”
Ruhua nodded, but her eyes were indifferent and sad again. A person who often appears around you, for three or four years, has already become a habit. However, when he suddenly doesn't show up one day, and he doesn't show up all the time, it will leave you at a loss......
Xin'er knows this feeling very well. Like that time. She looked forward to Long Xuanyu going back every day. It's the same to stand at the mouth of the cave every day!
"He'll be back, definitely!" Xin'er said sincerely, and then led Su Zige to continue walking.
After walking far away, she could still vaguely feel the longing gaze of Ruhua behind her. It wasn't her who she was looking forward to. It's the sentence she just said. He'll definitely be back. Certain!
"Mother!" Su Zige, who had been silent, finally spoke, "I think it's very strange that one is called a pillar." Why would he eavesdrop on your conversation with that grandma? He always looks at Aunt Ruhua, not like Aunt Ruhua's brother at all! ”
Xin'er was silent, and she noticed that. Not just now, she should have been here four years ago, and she thought this pillar was strange. He seems to be in love with Ruhua, but they are obviously brother and sister. If, they are not brother and sister; If, Zhuzi knows that Ruhua is not his own sister, isn't it......
Raising her hand, Xin'er grabbed Su Zige: "Zige, let's not enter the city first." ”
"If we don't go into the city, where are we going? Isn't my mother looking for your husband? Su Zige couldn't help but wonder.
"Just follow me!" As she spoke, she was already running briskly towards the village below. She wanted to go to the house where Ruhua and the others had lived, and although it had been so many years, there might be something left behind.
A small village, with a few families living here and there. Xin'er asked Ruhua where they used to live, and it was indeed a ruin. Five years later, the traces of the burn can still be seen. She stepped on the dirt and could almost discern the pattern of the entire house.
Although the house is not big, it is certainly much stronger than the thatched hut they live in now, at least a five-room tiled house with an adobe structure! However, the fire was so fierce that even the earthen walls were torn. After five years of wind and rain, it has long fallen to the ground and become a puddle of soft mud.
"Uncle, do you remember the fire that happened here five years ago?" Seeing a villager passing by, he stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, of course I do! That fire burned all night! We didn't know how it burned, the fire was so fierce that no one dared to go in and save people. We all thought that the pillar family of three was burned to death inside! However, later I heard that their family was still alive, but they had just moved to the back mountain, and they didn't dare to live here anymore. ”
"Have any of you ever seen the pillar and the flower again?" Xin'er asked.
The villager seemed to think for a while, then shook his head: "I haven't seen it, I guess someone has seen it!" Otherwise, how do you know that they have moved to the back mountain? ”
Estimate? It's not too far from the back mountain, and it can't be that they haven't encountered it for a few years, unless they deliberately avoid these villagers. The eldest lady is blind and generally does not go out. Ruhua is a woman, and it is estimated that she rarely goes out. But the pillar, he has to make a living, and the firewood he cuts must be sold. He can not come to this village, but he must go to the market. How could it be that you haven't met an acquaintance for such a long time? Unless......
"Boom......" A few bamboo darts flew towards her, Xin'er pulled out the soft sword at her waist, turned around, and "Ding Ding Ding ......" knocked down those bamboo darts with a few sounds, and at the same time swept in the direction where the bamboo darts flew from.
She saw a tall, burly figure that flashed between several houses and then disappeared.
"Mother!" Su Zige ran up panting, "Mother, the person just now must be a pillar!" I remember the smell of him, the smell of camphor wood! ”
Su Zige is really a smart and clever child, and he even noticed such details. At the same time, he also handed a bamboo dart picked up on the ground to Xin'er, and said solemnly: "Smell it, there is the same smell on it!" ”
Xin'er took the bamboo dart and put it in the pouch around her waist. She has a natural sensitivity to all kinds of fragrances, and naturally she is aware of it! That said, the conjecture she had just had was entirely possible! However, the villagers here will chop wood and cut wood, and it is not necessary that only the pillars will smell like that!
She circled around the spot, acutely aware that there was a man hiding behind the haystack next to her. He said coldly: "Come out, otherwise my sword will not recognize people!" ”
In the middle of the stumbling, a man in his thirties walked out tremblingly. Judging by his clothes, he should be a villager in this village. The man walked out, knelt down on his legs, and said, "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" ”
"Uh......" Xin'er was slightly stunned, is she so terrible? Perhaps, it's because of the scar on her face and the sword in her hand.
She put away her sword and softened her tone: "Don't be afraid, I'm just ugly, not a bad person!" ”
The villager finally dared to raise his eyes and look at her little by little. Seeing the soft smile in her eyes, her nervous heart relaxed slightly: "Then, can I go?" ”
"Absolutely! Still, I want to know, did you see the guy I just chased? ”
"See, he's running so fast! I guess it's the same as the girl, not from our village! As he spoke, he glanced in the direction where the man had just disappeared.
"Are you sure he's not from your village?" Xin'er asked, "Have you seen him anywhere?" Or maybe it's similar, a little bit like it! ”
The villager thought for a while, but still shook his head: "No! There can't be anyone like that in our village! ”
"Big brother, I want to ask, do you know the pillar? That is, the pillar that his house was moved away from five years ago by fire! ”
"So you know the pillar!" At the mention of the pillar, the villager actually had a smile on his face, "That's an honest and honest person, he rushed to help anyone in the village in the past." However, after the fire, it is not here. I heard that he moved to the back mountain, and almost no one saw him again! ”
His statement was the same as the previous one's, and there were no discrepancies.
"Uncle, can you describe what the pillar looks like?" Su Zige said smartly.
"What a pillar looks like!" The villager thought about it carefully, "He is quite tall and strong. If you just talk about the figure, it really resembles the person who just ran. However, the face of the pillar is round, not oval! ”
The face of the pillar is round, not oval. In other words, the person who just ran away has an oval face.
"Zige, what do you say is the shape of the pillar's face?" Xin'er lowered her head and looked at Su Zige beside her.
Su Zige touched his head: "It's not completely round, it can be said to be oval!" The eyes are big and have a god, like ......"
"No, the pillar is a well-known little eye in our village, and when you laugh, that eye becomes a slit!" Without waiting for Su Zige to finish speaking, the eldest brother of the villager had already begun to correct it.
Xin'er and Su Zige looked at each other and suddenly understood. The pillar is not a real pillar at all, but because the eldest lady can't see with her eyes, she is like a flower and has amnesia, so she has been kept in the dark.
"Zige, let's go back!" Xin'er pulled Su Zige and hurried to the hut in the back mountain. The villager was left behind, standing there in amazement.
However, Xin'er walked halfway and stopped again. Now that she has suddenly withdrawn, is she directly questioning the pillar? Debunking the pillars that he is not real at all? In this way, will it hurt the eldest lady and Ruhua?
Even if the man wasn't a real pillar, he had been with them for five years! In five years, although others are weird, they have not hurt the eldest mother and Ruhua, and they have maintained the livelihood of the whole family. If she took the liberty of exposing him, in a hurry, it would be self-defeating.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Su Zige wondered.
"Forget it, we're still in the city!" For the pillars, perhaps Ye Rumo knows more than she does. Perhaps, all of these things are related!
Long Xuanyu didn't recognize her, the people in the Yan Mansion disappeared, Ye Rumo no longer came to see Ruhua, and the pillars were not real pillars...... (To be continued.) )
