Chapter 318: Waterhole
Liu Qianqian soon returned.
With a familiar sigh, a transparent red figure appeared beside Ji Yue, whispering what she saw.
"The girl was locked up in the back room of their house... There is a boy and a woman, two adults and a small child..."
After thinking about Zhang Xiaoxiao's behavior for a while, she continued: "That girl broke a piece of the mirror and hid it in her clothes, and she may not be able to think about it at a critical moment..."
Liu Qianqian frowned slightly.
That girl's loveless appearance made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she didn't know why.
"Qianqian, please go and watch her, if she has any radical moves, stop it as soon as possible." Ji Yue said.
Nodding, Liu Qianqian once again passed through the wall and disappeared into the room.
"Radical moves?" Liu Xiaoying only heard Ji Yue's words, and was a little worried, "Everyone has to think about suicide in this matter, Da Lao Yuan was tricked by his parents to go home and get married, or marry a dead man..."
"Qianqian went to keep an eye on her, it will be fine." Ji Yue explained.
"That's good. By the way, is Qianqian the name of that ghost? Thinking of the name that appeared a few times in Ji Yue's mouth, Liu Xiaoying asked with some curiosity.
"Yes." Without further ado, Ji Yue stood up and walked to the door.
The uncle in the courtyard saw that she was about to come out, so he stood up a little nervously and quickly greeted her.
"Girl, what's the matter?" The smile on the uncle's face was a little unnatural, he rubbed his hands and asked a little nervously.
"Uncle, I want to ask when the little wedding will be held." Ji Yue asked very calmly, with a slight smile on the corner of her lips.
Seeing that she was just asking questions, not running away, the uncle was visibly relieved.
Qu Yilian and Liu Xiaoying, who were sitting in the room behind, glanced at each other when they saw this, and they were a little crying and laughing.
This person simply wrote his thoughts on his face, and he won't hide it at all!
They can't tell if there's something wrong.
"It's coming, tonight." Uncle said.
"Zi Shi?!" Ji Yue repeated with some surprise, "Why should the wedding be in the child?" ”
"Hehe, this is the girl, you don't understand, this is our custom here." The uncle said and looked back at the gate of the courtyard, and saw the eldest lady walking into the courtyard with a relaxed face. "Old woman, why have you been there for so long, several girls can't sit still."
The eldest lady was stunned for a moment when she saw Ji Yue standing at the door, and the smile on her face was even worse.
The secretary said that in the past two days, she should pay attention to outsiders in case anything happens to the wedding, so she pulled Ji Yue and a few people back to the house, and then went to the secretary to report the matter, and the secretary meant to invite the three girls to his house.
The secretary also praised her for her quick response.
"Girls, I'm tired of sitting down." The eldest lady said happily: "Our small village is poor, and there is nothing to entertain you, just now our secretary said to invite a few people to rest with him, and when the ceremony is over, you can go to the Zhang family girl to catch up." ”
"I'm sorry." Ji Yue said softly.
"Come with me." The eldest lady said and greeted the three of them, turned around and walked out.
Qu Yilian and Liu Xiaoying also stood up and trotted to Ji Yue's side, and the three of them followed the eldest lady to the village secretary's house.
I met a lot of villagers along the way, and they all looked at Ji Yue and the three of them with some novelty.
"Why don't you see any children in this village?" The more Qu Yilian walked, the more she felt that something was wrong, she rubbed to Ji Yue's side, and whispered in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "In the past, the children in our village would get together and play outside every day, it was too quiet. ”
As she spoke, she turned her head to look into the courtyard of a nearby house, just in time to see a small head peeking out from behind the window.
A little boy was looking at them curiously.
"Maybe it's because I just had a funeral, and my parents won't let me," Liu Xiaoying said.
The faces of the people in this village are full of joy, but the decoration is very desolate, and it is uncomfortable to look at.
"It's the first time I've seen red and white things done together, it's scary." Muttering in a low voice, Liu Xiaoying turned her head and saw a path leading to the edge of the village, and there was a large waterhole at the end, but because the distance was a little far, the view was not very clear.
"Auntie, is it a fish pond over there?" She asked with a wink.
She used to see that the vegetation in this mountain was not very lush, and the land was a little dry, so it should be a place with less water, but she didn't expect that there would be such a large pool.
"Hehehe, there's no fish in that pool." When the eldest lady heard her words, she also turned her head to look at it, and said, "Don't look at our village has such a piece, but we usually drink well water, and no one will approach the waterhole." ”
"Why?"
"I heard that there are water spirits in that water, and if someone comes close, they will come out and pull people down and drown, and then eat them!" The eldest lady lowered her voice slightly and said a little mysteriously.
“......”
Liu Xiaoying was a little speechless.
It's okay to deceive children with this kind of talk, but it's a bit too much to tell them!
Glancing sideways at the pool, Ji Yue frowned slightly.
There seems to be something over there.
Not showing any signs of anything unusual, she put it to the back of her mind for the time being, and just kept walking.
"Here, the one in front is our secretary, and he is very nice."
Not long after passing by the waterhole, the eldest lady spoke again, she raised her hand and waved at the man standing at the gate of the small courtyard in front of her, "Secretary, a few girls have brought it." ”
Ji Yue didn't speak, she looked up and found that the small building behind the man was the most luxurious and only two-story building in the village.
"A few people, the hospitality is not good." The secretary greeted him with a smile.
This is a middle-aged man with glasses and a slightly fat figure, and he smiles kindly, like Maitreya Buddha.
"You are little classmates, then you are all your own family, you're welcome." The secretary's already small eyes narrowed into a slit, and he opened his body slightly to the side and let go of the door of the courtyard behind him, "Sit inside, although I am shabby, it is also the best place in the village." Don't dislike a few little girls. ”
"Secretary." Ji Yue nodded politely at him and said hello.
The secretary looked at the three of them with a smile and made a gesture of please.
"Come in and sit down."
He looked at the eldest lady behind him again and said, "Aunt Liu, I'm sorry for you, go back and rest, don't be late at night." ”
"Okay." Aunt Liu answered, and at the end of the day, she said to Ji Yue and a few people: "The girls are so fun, the aunt will go back first." ”
With a smile on her face, she turned and walked back the way she had come, her face contrasting with the white flowers wrapped around the house next to her.
"Thank you, auntie." Liu Xiaoying answered, grabbed Qu Yilian's arm, and followed the secretary and Ji Yue towards the house.
