Chapter 21 Beam above

Xi Huanyan slept darkly this night, and when he woke up, he only remembered that he heard the black dog barking in a daze, and at this time, the sky was bright and the sun was just over.

She was so hungry that her stomach hurt, she groped around, found the hidden button in the basement, took the clay pot in the cupboard and filled it with some dried beans, soaked it in water, poured oil on it, and hung it on the fire pit.

As soon as I touched my body, I didn't know where to put yesterday's fire fold.

She rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the fire fold, but she always felt that something was weird, and suddenly, a ray of light crossed her mind, the basement!

Xi Huanyan returned to the basement and stepped on the ground, the wet stains were obvious, and when he reached out and wiped it, a layer of damp powder could still be left on his thumb.

This piece of land has obviously been made up in the last month or two, and whoever does the work is so rough that the waterproofing is not done well, and the plaster is uneven.

And the strange demons are panicking, the village has always forbidden the villagers to enter the mountains, how can they come here to make up for the land?

Xi Huanyan's heart sank slightly, and he ran out of the hut, his index finger and thumb at right angles, aimed at the house, the equilateral triangular roof, the square house, the skylight was opened under the eaves, and the roof, skylight, and door were in a straight line.

She calculated the distance and took two steps forward, looking at the skylight, just in time to see a picture of a blue-faced fangs carved into the main beam of the house.

This picture is her father's payment, and her father called it a picture of the house, and the houses that passed through her father's hands basically have such a picture.

Ordinary villagers can't build a house with such a precise margin, and they can't carve a map of the house, it is indeed built by her father.

Xi Huanyan squinted her eyes and found that there was something small next to this picture.

She went into the house, took off a long-handled dagger from her body, tied it with a rope, and threw it at the main beam, most of which sank into the beam!

Immediately afterward, she climbed the rope and rubbed the map of the house, which had smooth lines and delicate patterns, but was indiscriminately scratched a few times, destroying the whole picture.

Is this person afraid of this picture?

She then looked to the side again, and there was a seven-inch square frame with a protruding wooden wedge on the left side of the frame.

Looking at its shape, she could think of its approach, which was nothing more than digging a hole in the beam, closing the wooden cover, inserting a wedge, and forming a cassette.

Look at the cut marks, also in recent months.

She pinched the wooden wedge and slowly pulled it out, and the lid that matched the beam fell to the ground, and with it fell something wrapped in red cloth.

Xi Huanyan jumped off the ground, picked up the red cloth bag, opened it and saw that it was a stone inside, and it was cold to the end!

She flipped through the red cloth for a while, and with a fire rising in her heart, she thrust it back into the beam in anger.

Red cloth stone, which means to suppress evil.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the residual soul breath of the dead will disturb the qi veins of heaven and earth and bring misfortune.

It is usually used in cemeteries, buried on the top of graves!

Gan, since she learned Moheng Law, she has never built a house or a tomb, and she is only used to confess the murderer.

It was this person who could not learn to go home, so he replaced the sun-exposed sun stone on the top of the mountain with a mixture of earthy earthy stones, and the red cloth that fitted the stone did not write the birthday of the deceased.

She wants to see what is buried here, what is in town!

Xi Huanyan turned out a pickaxe in the basement and smashed it to the ground with all his might.

Generally speaking, the foundation is the most important thing of a house, she has watched her father's house building process throughout the whole process, in order to resist the destruction of strong winds and wild beasts, the foundation usually adopts the wooden pile composite method, first dig a deep pit, tamp the soil, erect dense wooden piles, and repeatedly lay the slag layer and rammed earth layer.

Such a foundation is difficult to excavate, to do the basement, will reserve an entrance, wait for a zhang deep, and then start to dig a space at least twice as small as the house, digging larger than the impact of the foundation.

The ground like the basement is not so exquisite, but it is covered with several layers of rammed earth, and poured a layer of triple soil made of yellow mud, lime and gravel.

She smashed through the triple layer of soil, but touched the damp soil, if this was made by her father, the bottom of the triple soil should be a solid layer of rammed earth, it could not be such a damp, loose dirt floor.

The basement floor was reopened.

Xi Huanyan suddenly didn't dare to dig any further.

yes, why did she come to dig the ground so well?

Xi Huanyan filled in the hewn pit, pulled a sack to cover it, then went out of the basement, put away the dagger pierced into the beam, and then replanted the redwood tree outside, and returned to the village.

She was a little depressed walking on the dirt road, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind in her ears, she turned her head to look and saw Xi Cangping practicing martial arts in the fence courtyard.

Xi Cangping also saw her and was stunned.

The two looked at each other, and seemed to confront each other, for a long time, Xi Cangping pulled out a smile and said, "Huan Yan, have you gone down the mountain?" ”

She followed Xi Cangping to the house and got straight to the point, "Pingbo, you also participated in the encirclement and suppression of the alien demons." ”

"......." Xi Cangping poured her a glass of water, and said seriously, "People can't be resurrected after death, and it's better to forget than to pursue it." ”

"I want to know specifics. ”

She looked at Xi Cangping stubbornly, "I'm not qualified to know?"

"Good. Xi Cangping also sat down, stared at his toes and pondered for a while, and then said, "On that day, a total of fifty-five of us went into the mountain, first went to the redwood forest, ten people, including Qiongdong, waited for news outside the forest, and the rest entered the forest under the leadership of your mother. ”

"Not long after we went in, we ran into a demon. ”

"How many?"

"First there were seven foreign demons, five of them died, two of them ran away, we informed Qiongdong and others to send the seriously injured fifteen people back to the village for treatment, while chasing the traces of the strange demons non-stop to the bottom of the cliff through the wind, and encountered a giant demon and a three-headed small demon, and then it was a fight, but we people, where can we beat them, their giant demon, not only three-star strength, but also give birth to alien demons!"

Xi Cangping covered his eyes, "Even the ten people from Qiongdong who came to support later were almost all folded inside, this battle was fought to the end, the villagers were almost all dead, your mother killed the giant demon for half a life, but it was also killed, and finally the patriarch arrived and ended it, fifty-five people, in the end, only we lived...... Heptad. ”

"So many people, all dead. He muttered and repeated this sentence, mourning filled his body, and Xi Huanyan was like a hard-hearted bastard, interrupting him stiffly, "Xi Xushui, is my mother's tomb erected?"

“...... Stand, set up a mound of clothes. ”

Xi Huanyan looked at him, "What about the relics." ”

Xi Cangping lowered his hand and sighed, "We haven't touched the things in the new house. ”

"I said, "What about my mother?"

"It's all burned. ”

"Weapons burned, too?"

"I'm buried in a grave. ”

"Where's the pendant?"

"Pendants? Xi Cangping then said, "It's also in the mound of clothes." ”

Xi Huanyan walked out of the door and paused at the threshold, "Who came out of the wind under the cliff alive?"

"Do you care about this, we don't want to, who is willing to sacrifice so many people!" Xi Cangping suddenly became angry and roared, "You go back to the mountain, no, I'll send you up the mountain!"

His figure shot out, and he was about to carry her back collar, but Xi Huanyan turned around suddenly, and the knife wind blew off the two strands of hair hanging down from his forehead, a blood line cracked, and bright blood droplets slipped down his forehead and fell down the root of his nose to his cheeks.

Xi Cangping stretched out his hand, his body stiffened, and his eyes were dazed and afraid.

Xi Huanyan turned her wrist, put away the firewood knife, and stepped out of the door, she walked on the dirt road in the village with her back upright, and some villagers saw her, said something and looked at her with pity.

The village is not big, and it is not a secret that she returned to the village, Xi Qiongdong heard about it and hurried to find her with Xi Qiongwan and Xi Qiongzhong, but when he saw her shadow from a distance, he hid again and did not pass.

Xi Qiongwan recalled that night, and felt more absolute in her heart, and raised her hand to make a motion to wipe her neck, "Do you want to do this?"

"A little kid can't make waves. Xi Qiongdong's words were contemptuous, but his murderous intent was ready to move, that family was the mountain in his heart, he had looked up to it, and he was also overwhelmed by it, and now, this mountain is about to be bulldozed by him, and he will become a mountain in the eyes of the villagers, majestic and unclimbable.

The scenery is beautiful.
