Chapter 240: The Phantom of the Old House

"Xiaohe, what are you doing!" The firelight in the stove pond shone on Shuyuan's slightly shy face, which made people marvel and admire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was a kind of shyness that a girl suddenly found to be being watched, and there was a look of pride and anger in her heart.

Shuyuan didn't seem to see the fear in my eyes, and if it weren't for her low anger, I probably wouldn't have woken up from the horror. Looking at the pit behind her back again, the vague shadow just now seemed to be gone.

I'm sure I'm not mistaken, I just seemed to see something, something vague but real. I don't know if it's because since I studied with Uncle Luo, I have a lot of weird thoughts in my heart. Sometimes it feels strange to see everything, and it feels strange to see everything. Although the stove pond here is not the one from my uncle's house in the afternoon, it is also close to the kitchen of Tang Yuxian's house.

The giant rat at my uncle's house in the afternoon was scary enough, and it was indeed very weird. I guess even if it's a person there, it's likely to be eaten by it. When I subconsciously thought of this, I was inevitably a little more frightened. The firewood pit here is usually filled with large firewood, and some branches and leaves that are easy to catch fire, such as pine needles and dried fern leaves, which are easy to ignite.

But because my family is not there, the big pit is usually half empty. Because everyone is afraid of fire, Uncle Yuyuan and Aunt Xiaoyu check every day, even the neighbor Lotus next to them will also instruct. After all, I am still young in the eyes of others, and there is still some family affection between neighbors at this time.

"No, nothing!" I was dumbfounded to see that it was empty, except for some yards of dry wood, which were clear in the light of the fire, and there was nothing to hide. Although I also thought of the giant rat in the afternoon, the light of the fire reflected in the red fire pit at this moment made people feel very warm.

The big black wall in the back was smoked by the fire pond of Tang Yuxian's house at the beginning, and there were two fire pits separated by the half-low wall, and it seemed clear by the light on the table, but I was not so scared in my heart.

"People are small and big!" Shuyuan suddenly muttered a sentence in her mouth, and a pair of beautiful eyes gave me a white look, obviously thinking that I didn't dare to admit it when I peeked at her, but she obviously enjoyed this feeling, and she didn't mean to be really annoyed and angry. But what puzzled me was that she looked at me thoughtfully, pouted as if she was dissatisfied, and then said in a low voice: "Cowardly as a mouse!" "I didn't hear it because it was so quiet.

"Is the water hot?" But it was Gou Xiaohui who came out with a sigh of anger, and saw us sitting in the stove pond, burning red with charcoal in the pond, so she walked a few times and came closer.

"It should be about the same, this firewood is big, if it gets a little hotter, beware of burning your buttocks!" Shuyuan laughed lowly, looking at her in confusion, her face turned red again, and she actually shrugged her nose at me mischievously. He said to Gou Xiaohui again: "If you want to wash it, hurry up!" I'm going to soak my feet later! “

At this moment, there was silence all around, even in the bedroom, there was no voice of the Rose Sisters, and I suddenly felt the kindness of this girl. At this time, the countryman was still very simple, although she was much older than me, she was always not as old as Tang Yubao and Shen Su, and in my heart, there was not much difference between her and me. However, I think that some people in Rose are small and big, and their strange thoughts are different from normal people.

Although it's not the first time I've seen Shuyuan, it's definitely the first time I've talked to her and sat so close to chat. According to the young people who came later, it was actually just a big child. Because women at this time, no matter how early or late they develop, they are generally married at seventeen or eighteen, and if they are over twenty years old, they are all older youths. Although I don't know Shuyuan's exact age, I estimate that her actual age is much younger than Niu Yongzhen.

"You did it on purpose!" Seeing the iron pot steaming, Gou Xiaohui glanced at Shuyuan, and saw that I was not squeaking and sitting there supporting firewood, so she smiled at me: "I'm so sleepy that I can't stand it!" I scooped up the water and washed it first. Xiaohe, you boil the water hard, the boiling is hot, wait for Shuyuan to burn all the hairs all over her body, anyway, it's going to be the New Year! ”

"You damned prodigal girl, burn all your hair!" Hearing that Gou Xiaohui hurt herself so much, Shuyuan reached out to beat Gou Xiaohui, but because she was sitting inside, where could she reach Gou Xiaohui for a while. Immediately, my chest was next to my shoulder, and the softness made my heart beat faster. Her mouth was full of her scent, and her whole body was hot.

Although it's just to relieve my anger, where can I play Gou Xiaohui and sit next to me and hate my teeth. Gou Xiaohui didn't reply immediately, as if she wanted to sleep in a daze. But that cute face let people know that she still understands it very well in her heart. Sure enough, I saw her smile and pick up a small wooden bucket, and came to the fire pit to fill it with water.

She looked at Shuyuan's hateful teeth, and blocked me from sitting outside the wooden bench, so she chuckled and laughed again while fetching water: "Ouch, you're not afraid anyway, you can't finish burning so much hair!" If you are afraid that the soup will not be clean and we fall asleep, you can ask Xiaohe to help you water and scald! ”

"You shameless! Prodigal girl! Hearing that Gou Xiaohui was getting more and more outrageous, Shuyuan spatted in a low voice, her face was as red as an eggplant, and she didn't say anything. When she saw the way I looked at her, her face seemed redder than the firelight. She didn't dare to look at me staring at Gou Xiaohui who was scooping water, and scolded her in a low voice regardless of the steaming heat: "You stinky mouth, you haven't married yet, you can't get married!" I'm Mao Duo, are you jealous? ”

"Are you all right, the prodigal son of the third watch in the middle of the night! And the river, why is it so slow to boil water! Rose also yawned, leaned on the bedroom door and watched Gou Xiaohui carrying a hot water bucket to make cold water by the water tank, so she said impatiently to the fire pond: "My sister can't stand it, she has already gotten into the bed, I don't care about you, I'm sleepy!" ”

"That's too lazy! The water is hot! Gou Xiaohui looked up at the rose, and said with a look of surprise: "These are all people who are going to get married, people haven't come over yet, they don't like to be clean, what will the old people say about it in the future?" ”

It seemed that she had seized an opportunity to fight back, and Shuyuan, who was sulking next to me, actually looked at Rose at this time, and said: "Look, look, people can't bear to get married, Rose!" You have to learn to order this prodigal girl, wash up at any time and get married! “

"You!" Gou Xiaohui choked for a while, looked at Shuyuan's proud appearance, sobered up in a daze, and said impatiently: "Xiaohe, you boiled the water, wait for her to be scalded and left in your house for the New Year, she will feel uncomfortable!" He walked briskly into the bedroom.

The rose by the door seemed to understand when she heard Gou Xiaohui so damaged, and looked at this side and laughed a little confused, but pouted and said to me: "Xiaohe, hurry up and fetch me water, I'm going to take a bath and die of sleepiness!" She turned back to Gou Xiaohui and said, "Sister Hui, why did Sister Shuyuan make you angry!" “

"Rose, you don't care about her!" Shuyuan was a little hateful, although she wasn't really angry, but she thought I understood Gou Xiaohui's words, she was naturally shy as a girl, and couldn't help but answer: "Seeing that your sister is getting married today, she can't stand the itching in her heart!" Hurry up and use that face plate to draw water yourself, and when she washes and pours water, you can also wash and sleep! “

"Do you want to take a shower?" I was really stunned to see that the roses were all sleepy like this, and said that they wanted to take a bath. At this time, I actually understood something, but Rose suddenly said it, and I really didn't react immediately.

may have seen Gou Xiaohui grunting in, and didn't target herself again, Shuyuan didn't follow her anymore. But when I heard this with a tired face, and saw that the rose really went to get the washbasin, the flower branches trembled close to my ears. Suddenly, a girl's body fragrance and the scent of alabaster entered my nose, which made my heart beat a little faster. Smiled: "You are so cute! Is it really stupid? People are saying they want to take a small bath! “

Rose didn't seem to care about Shuyuan's whispering, she was really confused and uncomfortable. I saw her come with a basin, and although I wanted to tell her not to wash it in the basin, I took the initiative to remove the lid of the pot. I heard the bedroom door seem to be closed, and when I turned my head to look, I seemed to feel a shadow flickering by the window, and I was so frightened that I almost threw away the lid of the iron pot in my hand.

"What's wrong!" Shuyuan, who was next to me, saw my panicked appearance, and didn't even see the rose walking away, so she looked at me curiously and asked.

I didn't know how to answer her, it was pitch black outside, and although the door was still open, I couldn't see anything outside. I saw her looking at me inexplicably, and when she looked out the window again, there was really no movement. I tried to calm myself down, and when I saw Rose coming into the bedroom, she turned to me and said, "Xiaohe, I feel a little cold in the house, can you wait and shovel the charcoal fire from the fire pit into the house?" “

I didn't come back to my senses to answer her right away, but I instinctively nodded mechanically.

"Do you want to sleep?" Shuyuan's voice sounded low again, and when I looked at her, I saw that her face was slightly red, and I felt a little like I wanted to speak.

"It's fine!" I yawned, it was true that I had slept late all this time, after all, I was used to refueling at twelve o'clock every night in Orchid Bay. But looking at the way Shuyuan had something to say, I still managed to calm down.

"I want to go to the hut, come with me?" Shuyuan smiled and looked a little embarrassed, looking at my somewhat surprised expression, so she had to whisper: "The urine bucket in the house is too smelly, I can't stand it!" “

What is this theory? At this time, the urine buckets of the countrymen are kept in the house at night, one is because the weather is cold, and the other is because the conditions are limited. Although the wooden urine bucket in the bedroom has been placed in the corner for a long time, it is generally picked out and poured out in the morning, where is the smell of the simple wooden huts and thatched houses of the families outside. But looking at Shuyuan's begging appearance, my heart softened a little.

Although I thought of what had just happened and saw the darkness outside, I felt a little abrupt, but I still nodded. Seeing the almost closed bedroom door, Shuyuan called in a low voice, and no one responded to us. We didn't care, so we picked up the kerosene lamp on the table and went out. My thatched house is on the side where my grandfather lives, and I didn't dare to go there at night, but tonight I walked with Shuyuan in the long alley, and I seemed to feel a voice shouting.

Although the breeze did not have a big effect on the kerosene lamp, it made my hairs stand on end, and I was bolder to think that Shuyuan was with me. As soon as I crossed the threshold of the alley, I suddenly seemed to see a faint shadow. (To be continued.) )
