Volume 5 The Curse of the Old Village_Chapter 318 The Xu Family Ancestral Hall
Although the village does not look wealthy, the food served to me is extremely rich.
But just like last time, Fat Dahai and I didn't eat much, but these people took advantage of this to feast, and the ditches were full of ditches and mouths full of oil. A large table full of dishes was eaten by these few people. Looking at the mess of cups and plates on the table, it made me incomprehensible. The attitude of these people towards these delicious foods seems to be beyond our comprehension.
In the end, it became me and Fat Dahai watching them eat. Fortunately, this time they didn't take out that kind of blood spring egg for us to eat, and it was a lot less troublesome.
Seeing that the meal was almost finished, I got up and took my leave. The five people glanced at each other, and Xu Changhe nodded: "Okay, I'll send someone to call you for dinner." ”
The two of us walked out of Xu Changhe's house and breathed a sigh of relief. There's always a feeling of escaping death coming out of here. Fat Dahai said: "Boss, it's really awkward to eat with them, one by one like a starving ghost reincarnated." Why don't we both cook and eat by ourselves? ”
I shook my head: "You haven't seen it yet?" They took the opportunity to ask us for dinner, but they also sped on us in disguise. Let's come out now, and before dinner, try to find someone to ask where Wang Po lives. ”
The two of us left Xu Changhe's house and wandered around the village.
The villagers guarding the mountain once again returned to their original appearance during the day. They were all listless, and they walked as if they were about to fall asleep.
We found a few lonely old men, who were either standing under the trees in a daze, or sitting on a stone looking at the sky, looking at the state of eating and waiting for death.
And when we went up to talk to them, they were all half a beat slower. It was as if the language skills had been lost, and we were in a hurry, but they were indifferent, as if they couldn't understand the words.
There are many ancient trees in the village, and there is a towering ancient tree almost a few steps away. The huge shade of the trees covers almost the entire Shoushan Tun underneath, so even during the day, walking here feels cool.
I hung out with Fat Dahai for a long time, and I didn't know anything about Wang Po.
Fat Dahai muttered: "Boss, are these people all fools except for those five?" Why can't you even understand a complete sentence? ”
"Crazy is not crazy, stupid is not stupid, ride a white horse all the way to the west, dust to dust, earth to earth, face the west to worship the Queen Mother......"
Suddenly, someone muttered this set of words, and the voice fluttered and reached the ears of me and Fat Dahai.
These two words, although they are not loud and sound very weak, but they are much more fluent than others. So it's already exciting to hear someone say the whole thing.
Fat Dahai and I looked left and right, and found a white-haired old woman on crutches coming out from behind an old locust tree.
She must have been quite old, her back was very hunched, she was on crutches in one hand, and a basket in the other, and she was hobbling in the other direction.
And those two sentences, after being read once, were never read again.
Fat Dahai and I were a little hesitant, not sure if those two sentences were read by the old lady.
And I didn't quite understand what these two words meant.
We were about to catch up and ask the old lady, when we saw Xu Changhe and the other five people slowly walking over from a distance.
Xu Meilu smiled and asked, "Good grandson, come with us somewhere?" ”
I was stunned: "Go...... Where to? ”
Xu Meilu said: "Just go with us and you'll know, it's good for you, grandma won't lie to you, ......"
Xu Meilu spoke to me in a tone like a child, which made me feel uncomfortable and had goosebumps all over my body.
Xu Laogou snorted again: "Put away your set, right?" Is the set nearly useful? ”
Xu Meilu glared at Xu Laogou, her face was very ugly, and she looked like she was going to quarrel again.
Xu Changhe coughed and made a gesture of invitation to me. Although I didn't know where they wanted to take me, I couldn't refuse, so I could only follow them to the southwest of the village.
Fat Dahai also wanted to follow, but at this time, Xu Eryu stretched out his hand and stopped him: "I'm sorry, you can't go to this place, you are not qualified to go." ”
Fat Dahai glared: "Where can't I go?" If that's the case, my boss won't go, and we'll have to be together. ”
Xu Changhe said in a deep voice: "Shoushantun has rules for guarding Shantun, and these rules are all set by Shoushan. You are an outsider, for the sake of the fact that you are here with Young Master Yang, it is already an exception for you to enter the village. If you don't follow the rules, then please leave. ”
When Xu Changhe said these words, his tone was very calm, but I could clearly see a trace of viciousness in his eyes. To be honest, the look was a little terrifying, and even I couldn't help but shiver. These people are really not ordinary people, and their appearance hides too many things.
"You ......" The fat man still wanted to theorize a few words, so I hurriedly waved my hand at the fat man: "Fat man, you go back to the residence and wait for me first, and I'll come when I go." ”
"Okay, Boss, be careful."
Xu Ermouse snorted coldly: "Joke, what do we need to be careful about when we are guarding the mountain?" Can we still harm the grandson of the mountain guard? ”
Xu Changhe waved his hand: "Second rat, say a few words." Let's go. ”
I turned around and waved at Fat Dahai, followed the group of five, and continued to walk southwest.
We walked out a few hundred meters, bypassed an old willow tree, and an antique courtyard appeared in front of us, with gray walls, gray tiles and gray gatehouse.
There is a plaque hanging above the gatehouse: Xu Family Ancestral Hall.
It dawned on me that this was the ancestral hall of the old Xu family. In this way, this is the place where the ancestors of the Xu family are enshrined and sacrificed. What did they bring me here for? Although I have some connections with Shoushantun, I don't have the surname Xu.
At this moment, the five of them dispersed, surrounded me in the middle, and surrounded me through the gate of the ancestral hall to go inside. This posture is as if I am afraid that I will run away.
I suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
They wanted me to eat that Blood Fountain egg before, but I saw through this strategy and didn't hit it. They can't come up with another idea to deal with me, do they?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask Xu Changhe in front: "
Grandpa Xu, I'm not from your Xu family, what are you bringing me to the ancestral hall for? ”
Xu Changhe uncharacteristically did not answer my words, but looked solemn, and the same was true for others.
Seeing their appearance, I swallowed the words in my stomach before I could say them.
They led me through the central hall to a hall in the back.
At a glance, I could see dozens of tablets on the altar table in the temple. And behind the tablet, there is a statue of a god.
The statue is not very high, it should be made of clay, and the body is painted with colorful paintings, and the workmanship is very exquisite.
Naturally, I looked at the face of the idol, and I was astonished.
