Chapter 204: The Little Garden
After the female ghost in red looked at Zhang Tianping for a while, she disappeared like the previous female ghosts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although the appearance of this female ghost is not very different from that of other female ghosts, Zhang Xiaohu can see a trace of emotion in her eyes that is more than other female ghosts.
There was not only resentment in her eyes for this big mansion, but also sadness when she looked at Zhang Tianping.
After the red-clothed female ghost disappeared, Zhang Xiaohu continued to follow Zhang Tianping as before, and after a while, he walked to a big house, and a large round table was placed in the middle of the house, which was where the people in the mansion ate together on weekdays.
Except for Mama Zhang, who seemed to be an ancient descendant, and the ancestor with the highest rank in the mansion, that is, the mother of the old man of the Zhang family, everyone else generally sat down to eat together.
This is lunch, and Zhang Xiaohu's father, Zhang Tianzheng, is still working outside, so he will not come back to eat. It's understandable that Zhang's mother doesn't eat at the table, but why doesn't the ancestor eat at the table either?
Since Zhang Xiaohu can remember, the ancestor has never eaten with the family. There is a Buddhist hall in this big mansion, the ancestor is like a monk who stays in the Buddhist hall all day long to recite the Buddha, and her weekday food is served after Zhang's mother burns it.
The ancestor only ate vegetarian food and did not eat meat, so after Zhang's mother cooked a table of meals for everyone, she also needed to prepare a vegetarian meal. In Zhang Xiaohu's memory, there are very few memories of this old ancestor, that is, his great-grandmother.
In that Buddhist hall on weekdays, except for Zhang's mother to deliver food, the old man of the Zhang family forbade anyone to approach, even Zhang Tianping and Zhang Tianzheng did not dare to disobey his father's will, and never dared to go to that Buddhist hall. However, Zhang Xiaohu's great-grandmother also occasionally comes out to breathe, and Zhang Xiaohu has met his great-grandmother a few times.
That great-grandmother seemed to be kind-hearted and kind, and the few times she saw Zhang Xiaohu in the mansion, she would take out some small snacks in her pocket for Zhang Xiaohu to eat. So although Zhang Xiaohu has not met his great-grandmother a few times, he likes his great-grandmother very much.
When the great-grandmother appeared, those female ghosts would not appear relatively well, and in Zhang Xiaohu's memory, he simply felt that his great-grandmother was like a fairy in the villain's book.
There are only two dishes on the table in the big room, and it will take a while to get them together, and now except for Zhang Tianping and Zhang Xiaohu, there is no one else in this room. In fact, it is usually Zhang's mother who sets the dishes before she calls the people in the mansion to come over for dinner.
Today, it was because Zhang Tianping saw Zhang Xiaohu and mistakenly thought that he was hungry, so he brought Zhang Xiaohu here in advance.
Seeing that his parents were not here, Zhang Tianping took a piece of meat from a plate of dishes and handed it to Zhang Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, eat a piece of meat first, it's okay if your uncle is here." ”
“……”
Zhang Xiaohu thought in his heart, this Zhang Tianping is like a child. However, he still obediently stretched out his mouth and directly ate the meat handed over by Zhang Tianping into his mouth.
It is true that Zhang Xiaohu is also a little hungry, originally when Chen Si had not entered Zhang Xiaohu's body, because of the relationship between the soul and the body, he had no appetite. But after entering Zhang Xiaohu's body, all kinds of feelings on Zhang Xiaohu's body will be conveyed to Chen Si's soul, and he really feels hungry, and he just eats a piece of meat to relieve his hunger.
"Ahem."
Unexpectedly, Master Zhang, who would not have come here in advance, came here in advance like Zhang Tianping and Zhang Xiaohu, and happened to bump into Zhang Tianping and Zhang Xiaohu stealing food.
"Daddy."
"Grandpa."
Zhang Tianping and Zhang Xiaohu both had well-behaved expressions, looking at the old man of the Zhang family in the same way. The old man of the Zhang family didn't blame out loud, just glared at Zhang Tianping, and then walked into the room.
"Tianping, go and see if the kitchen dishes are almost ready, I'm a little hungry." The old man of the Zhang family said with his hands behind his back.
"Oh."
Zhang Tianping obediently walked out and walked to the kitchen of the mansion. Zhang Xiaohu didn't go out, he originally wanted to test his so-called "grandfather" just like he had just tested Zhang Tianping, but Zhang Tianping, who had just walked out of the door, turned back and pulled Zhang Xiaohu to the kitchen together.
……
The mansion looks big, but it's not a few steps to walk. After a while, Zhang Tianping led Zhang Xiaohu to the kitchen, and when he was still outside the kitchen, Zhang Xiaohu smelled the fragrance of the vegetables, and Zhang's mother and Xu Hong's craftsmanship was indeed good.
Zhang Tianping moved his nose: "Mom Zhang, is the dish almost ready?" My dad was waiting over there to eat......"
"Okay, okay, it's almost done."
Zhang's mother may have been stir-frying over there and didn't hear Zhang Tianping's voice, but Xu Hong heard it and hurriedly responded, "Why did Dad wait there in advance today, it's rare." ”
Zhang Tianping shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know, the old man's temper is not easy to figure out." ”
"Hehe, if my dad hears it, I will scold you."
"Brother and sister, don't you say it, my dad will go there to know, haha. What is Zhang's mother burning, it's so fragrant. ”
"Braised pork." Zhang's mother heard Zhang Tianping's voice this time, and turned around with a smile on her face.
Zhang Xiaohu swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously, "Gu Dong", braised pork, I really haven't eaten it for a while. A few people chatted, and Zhang's mother made the braised pork, and several dishes had been placed on the stove next to her, as well as a large plate of soup, and it seemed that the dishes were really done.
"Come on, come on, big brother come to help serve the food, don't let Dad wait." Xu Hong said with two plates of dishes.
"Okay." Zhang Tianping agreed, and also stepped forward to help, and walked to the big room with the dishes. Zhang Xiaohu also followed and walked back, his current body is too small, he has no strength, and he can't help if he wants to, just come and beat soy sauce.
Zhang's mother also followed behind with a large bowl of soup and two dishes on a food plate.
After all the dishes were served, Zhang's mother would go and bring the rice cooker that had been cooked in the kitchen to the big room, and then she would turn back to the kitchen and start preparing vegetarian food for Zhang Xiaohu's great-grandmother. The five people at the dinner table had already arrived, and it seemed that everyone was a little hungry, and after Xu Hong helped everyone serve the meal, everyone began to eat.
I still have to say a pertinent thing, the taste of these dishes is really good, and everyone eats them with relish. Zhang Xiaohu looked up at his grandfather who was eating: "Grandpa, I saw those female ghosts again......"
Zhang Xiaohu said this sentence is naturally not meaningless, in his memory, a few years ago, this grandfather's face changed greatly because of Zhang Xiaohu's talk about female ghosts, he was testing how this grandfather would react now, after hearing these words.
At the same time, you can also see how others in the room will react so that you can increase the clues you know. As Zhang Xiaohu thought, except for himself, the other four people present changed their faces after hearing Zhang Xiaohu's words.
Zhang Tianping stretched out his hand and gently covered Zhang Xiaohu's mouth, looked at his father and said, "Dad, Xiaohu, he is not sensible, he talks nonsense, don't be angry." ”
Xu Hong said softly to Zhang Xiaohu: "Shut up." Then he looked at the old man of the Zhang family and explained to Zhang Xiaohu: "Dad, today I was almost hit by a car when Xiaohu and I were out shopping for vegetables, and it is estimated that Xiaohu was scared to talk nonsense." ”
Although Zhang Xiaohu's grandmother's face changed a lot, as if she was frightened by something, she didn't speak, just gently put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and sighed lightly.
The most conspicuous thing is the old man of the Zhang family, after hearing Zhang Xiaohu talk about the female ghost in front of him again after a few years, his face still changed as much as he did back then. Although Zhang Tianping and Xu Hong were helping Zhang Xiaohu say good things, the face of the old man of the Zhang family was still gloomy and about to drip water, and after sitting quietly for a while, perhaps because of Xu Hong and Zhang Tianping's face, he did not get angry with Zhang Xiaohu, but he also stood up directly and left the table.
Although Zhang Xiaohu was blindfolded by Zhang Tianping, and his face pretended to be repentant for saying the wrong thing, his eyes were always looking at the direction where his grandfather left. Grandpa's bedroom was supposed to turn right after going out, but he did go out to the left now.
Maybe if you follow up now, you may find something.
Zhang Xiaohu just wanted to break free of Zhang Tianping's hand holding him, so he could find an excuse to secretly follow his grandfather to have a look.
"Follow me!"
At this time, Xu Hong pulled Zhang Xiaohu to her side, looking at her expression, she was angry because Zhang Xiaohu was angry about what made her grandfather angry again, and she wanted to reprimand Zhang Xiaohu well. With an angry face, she pulled Zhang Xiaohu out of the door and walked to the room where she lived.
After leaving the big room for dinner, the expression on Xu Hong's face gradually calmed down, and he didn't reprimand Zhang Xiaohu much, but said to him gently: "Xiaohu, in the future, you really must never do those bad aunt things in front of grandpa." There is no bad aunt, you are just frightened and you are wrong. Grandpa, he's old, superstitious, and those bad aunts will scare him. ”
"Oh......"
Zhang Xiaohu also understood in his heart that Xu Hong was not really angry and wanted to reprimand him, but just pretended to be angry and showed his grandmother who was still sitting at the table. so that they can make it look like they have reprimanded their son, and it is also for Zhang Xiaohu's sake.
Xu Hong led Zhang Xiaohu back to the room and told him to stay inside. Then she turned around and returned to the big room where she was eating, and then went to her grandmother to say good things about Zhang Xiaohu, and helped Zhang's mother clean up the table by the way.
As soon as Xu Hong went out, Zhang Xiaohu also went out on his hind feet. In his memory, he walked out of the dining room in the direction that his grandfather had just walked, and there were only four places, one was the kitchen, one was a small warehouse, and there was a toilet, and a small garden.
It's impossible for grandpa to go to the kitchen, and the toilet over there is generally used by Zhang's mother, and other people rarely go to the toilet over there, so grandpa is even more impossible. Then there are two places left, a small warehouse and a small garden.
There was a large warehouse in the whole mansion with a lot of miscellaneous items, and there was a small warehouse, and no one knew what was placed in this small warehouse. The key is only available to grandpa, and he never allows anyone to enter, even Zhang Tianping and Zhang Tianzheng, who are said to have some of his grandfather's treasures inside.
Zhang Xiaohu used to secretly go to the edge of the small warehouse to see it because of curiosity, and he tried to open the lock of the small warehouse and go in. This small warehouse doesn't even have a window, and if you want to know what's going on inside, there's no other way than to open the big lock on the door and get in.
Zhang Xiaohu was originally young, so he had the ability and method to open the big lock, so he gave up, and never had the idea of fighting that small warehouse again.
It seems that the place where Grandpa went this time is basically this small warehouse. After determining the direction, Zhang Xiaohu quickly left his room, quietly bypassed the room where he was eating, and walked towards the small warehouse.
But unexpectedly, before he walked to the small warehouse, he saw his grandfather, he was not in the small warehouse, but squatting in the small garden with only the length and width of one house, looking like he was tinkering with something on the ground, as if he was loosening the soil for the garden. I don't know what kind of flowers are planted inside, but they are extremely bright and bright, and the red ones seem to be dripping blood.
Red!
In Zhang Xiaohu's eyes, the bright red of the flowers in the small garden merged with the bright red color of those red-clothed female ghosts, but he didn't have a way of doing it now, so he couldn't see anything strange from these flowers.
Zhang Xiaohu turned his head and looked around, it was also strange, at this time he wanted to see a female ghost in red to verify whether these flowers had anything to do with those female ghosts in red, but none of the female ghosts came out. I really can't find it when I'm looking for it, and if I don't look for it, I have to post it desperately......
Hiding at the base of the wall and watching for a while, grandpa always squatted there with that action, and his hands didn't move. Because his back was to Zhang Xiaohu, Zhang Xiaohu couldn't see what his grandfather was doing.
But Zhang Xiaohu can't turn to the other side, as long as he leaves this wall root, his movements will be discovered by his grandfather, and he doesn't know what will happen. In Zhang Xiaohu's view, in fact, many times, people are more terrible than ghosts, because most ghosts will write their feelings on their faces, either resentment or sadness, but people's hearts are not easy to see, and it is difficult to distinguish between people and demons under the mask.
When he was still not sure whether this grandfather was good or bad, Zhang Xiaohu was not good at acting rashly. Otherwise, it is easy to fall into a crisis, he is now just a big child, and he can't fight anyone head-on!
