This is the first time I have seen Li Guigong after an interval of about three or four years.

The eye sockets are deep-set, the face is pale, and the forehead is uneven. According to folk sayings, this is called death, which means that death is not far away.

I felt a pang of sadness in my heart.

Li Guigong beckoned me to come closer. Li Xiaomi was also on my back and gave me a gentle push.

I took a step and walked to the bed.

Li Guigong looked up at his pale face, and after looking at it for a while, he grinned.

"You must ask, why did I give you Xiaomi!"

I nodded helplessly.

"You're good-looking! I know that people outside say that you were born ugly, and those little crescent eyes look like you haven't woken up, but in my opinion, your face is very ......," Li Laogui said in a hoarse voice.

I pouted secretly, not believing at all.

Without saying a few words, Li Laogui bowed down again and coughed, like a prawn in a pot, bending his body and hugging his abdomen.

Li Xiaomi hurriedly rushed up and helped Li Laogui.

I was a little at a loss, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Li Xiaomi.

Li Guigong didn't drink water, looked at me, looked at me for a long time, and sighed heavily.

"For more than ten years, I have been restraining myself, don't take you into this road, now I have something difficult here, I can't do it, so I have to stir you up. Remember I told you, Lu Jixiang, it's time for you to open your eyes. ”

I'm not blind now, but my eyes are smaller.

I tried to keep my eyes open so that Mr. Li could be relieved.

Li Guigong laughed rarely, did not speak, waved his hand, and then coughed violently.

I stood in place, and suddenly felt that my eyes were a little sore, and the scene of Li Laogui treating my eyes for me appeared in front of me.

"Okay, you've met Xiaomi too, auspicious...... You go out first, I have something to say to Xiaomi. After a while, Li Laogui's voice became more and more hoarse.

I was silent, turned and walked out of the room.

Li Xiaomi raised her red and swollen eyes and motioned for me to wait for her outside the door.

In the Li family's compound, as soon as I walked out, I was greeted with a beam of ill-intentioned gaze. I ignored it, walked to a corner of the courtyard alone, and watched the sun gradually set in Anpu Village with a heavy heart.

In the house, Li Xiaomi's suppressed cry could be faintly heard.

After a short time, Li Xiaomi walked out and walked towards me.

At this time, the noble woman also came over, raised her eyelids and looked at me, "Come on, you can go back by yourself, my millet doesn't look down on you." ”

I was so angry that I was about to say two sentences, but Li Xiaomi had already pulled me behind me.

"Auntie, grandpa has seen it, I feel very satisfied, I am also satisfied, that's it, I want to marry Lu Jixiang!"

My ears buzzed and I looked at Li Xiaomi, and it happened that Li Xiaomi also looked back at me, looking at each other, and both of them were red.

"Hey, Xiaomi, your father and mother died early, but your aunt is good for you, the son-in-law of the county magistrate's family last week......"

Li Xiaomi didn't pay attention to the lady anymore and looked at me, "Let's go, I'll send you over the mountain." ”

I was stunned, a manly man, I was very afraid of walking at night, so I hurriedly rejected Li Xiaomi.

Li Xiaomi was a little angry, glared at me a few times, and couldn't help but drag my hand and walked out of the courtyard of the Li family.

To be honest, looking at Li Xiaomi's good-looking side face, I always feel unbelievable, I'm still very worried, will I find the wrong person.

"My mother has taken a fancy to you! Whatever! Li Xiaomi said angrily.

I immediately stopped my mouth and cautiously followed Li Xiaomi, all the way forward.

The night is dark and the wind is high, and there is no one around, I am tempted to get up for a while, if I can kiss Fangze......

Li Xiaomi suddenly stopped, frowned and took out a flashlight.

I was shocked, and even my wandering thoughts calmed down, and when I looked around, I realized that we had come to the foot of the old mountain.

"Lu Jixiang, when you can walk the mountain road, go faster, don't look back if someone shouts behind your back, remember!" Li Xiaomi said in a deep voice.

I'm a little confused, it's night, and few people have climbed the mountain, could it be that this old mountain is unusual? If that's the case, I walked by myself during the day, and I didn't see anything happening.

Li Xiaomi didn't explain, and I didn't dare to ask after it, it was already dark, and from time to time I heard wild birds neighing in the forest.

Li Xiaomi turned on the flashlight, and under the faint light, the two of them walked slowly along the rugged mountain road.

"I didn't want you to come over, but my grandfather wants to see you, and it's inconvenient." Li Xiaomi spoke.

In fact, this is not a matter at all, not to mention that Li Laogui is very kind to me, but I just don't understand, but after walking at night, Li Xiaomi looks too dignified.

After walking for a while, I suddenly found that my steps were struggling, and the mountain road seemed to be getting steeper and steeper.

Li Xiaomi's brows became more and more wrinkled, and after taking a picture around, he broke a section of branches and leaves from an old willow tree, and asked me to throw away the mountain stick and hold the willow branches and leaves.

Although I have been in the city for a long time, I still remember a lot of the customs in the countryside.

For example, this willow branch, according to the villagers, is used to ward off evil spirits.

Li Xiaomi asked me to hold the willow branch, and when I entered the Li family's compound during the day, I was also swept by Li Xiaomi with a willow branch.

I was nervous for a moment.

Li Xiaomi was very calm, and went straight forward with a flashlight, and the strange and twisted shadows of the trees on both sides of the mountain road made people even more panicked.

I followed behind Li Xiaomi, next to each other, for fear that I would be left behind.

After walking a few more steps, I suddenly heard the sound of shuffling footsteps behind me, one after another, on the dead mountain road, it was particularly harsh.

I'm sure Li Xiaomi also heard it, and the strange thing is that Li Xiaomi still strides forward like a nobody.

I couldn't help it, and reached out and patted Li Xiaomi's shoulder.

"Leave it alone, go faster!" Li Xiaomi said in a deep voice.

Li Xiaomi said so, and I wouldn't be so stupid as to believe that this was some villager crossing the mountain at night.

I straightened my spirit, and ignored the strange footsteps behind me, gritted my teeth and continued to walk with Li Xiaomi. The moonlight was dim, peeping through the gaps in the trees, reflecting my distorted shadows, which lay crookedly on the mountain path.

What made me panic was that a shadow was also laid behind me, spread at my feet, with long hands and long feet, as if hunched over, following me.

My eyes suddenly hurt, and I hurriedly rubbed my hand twice, wanting to look back, but I remembered Li Xiaomi's words again, and I couldn't help but not look back.

"Lu Jixiang, follow me." Li Xiaomi walked in front of him without looking back.

I clenched the willow branch in my hand, quickened my foot, and strode forward.

Li Xiaomi, who was in front, suddenly stopped, turned his head with his eyes closed, his face turned pale, "There is a dead end ahead." ”

The mountain road leads to both ends, and we have been walking along the mountain road, how can we get to a dead end? I looked forward and found that as Li Xiaomi said, not far ahead, there was actually a cliff.

When I was a child, I heard the old people in the village tell me that maybe, Li Xiaomi and I encountered a "ghost lock road".

Li Xiaomi looked up at the moon, thought for a while, shouted "keep up", and walked in the other direction.

I followed Li Xiaomi, and the things behind me followed me, which seemed to be very tacit, and the night birds in the forest flew away in surprise when they saw us walking by.

Walking to a waterhole, the moonlight spread on the water, the water surface was clear, and I heard the cheerful popping of fish.

I subconsciously wanted to turn my head to look.

"Lu Jixiang, don't look at that end!" Li Xiaomi shouted as if she had eyes on the back of her head.

I just remembered that now the water is like a mirror, and if I had seen it, I must have looked at what was behind me.

I'm glad that Li Xiaomi took me to the mountain, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened.

"Lu Jixiang, turn back!" Suddenly, behind me came a woman's cry, a little sharp.

Hearing the sound, Li Xiaomi's shoulder twitched and stopped.

I gritted my teeth, I'm not stupid, what do you care about, Li Xiaomi said, no matter who shouts, don't look back.

"Lu Jixiang, you turn back!" This time, the voice is almost the same as Li Xiaomi, vivid.

I took a deep breath and patted Li Xiaomi's shoulder in front of me, signaling her to rest assured.

Li Xiaomi didn't answer and continued to walk.

The shadow behind him screamed for a while, but it also stopped.

I don't know what means Li Xiaomi used, after turning around, he finally walked out of the old mountain, and what made me even happier was that the things that followed behind him disappeared at some point.

I was scared for a while, and I pulled the clothes behind my back, and found that it was already glued to my back and soaked.

Li Xiaomi also breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll ...... tonight too I don't want to go back, let's go, go to your house first. ”

In my opinion, Li Xiaomi is already very brave.

I am happy in my heart, this brave and good-looking Li Xiaomi is about to be my little daughter-in-law.
