Chapter 23: Lu 4
Xu Ran stared at Li Wuyuan's eyes for a long time, and finally smiled lowly and rubbed her head.
"Come on, you don't know what liking is."
Li Wuyuan was rubbed by him, and his eyes were extremely bright.
"Who says I don't understand? I have lived for three hundred years, how could I not know that men and women love such simple things? ”
The corners of Xu Ran's mouth rose, and he lowered his eyelids to look at her: "Yes, then tell me, what do you like about me?" ”
"I ...... Hiss-"
Li Wuyuan was just about to speak, but was interrupted by a mosquito in his hand.
Xu Ran frowned lightly and pulled her arm, the other party's white and tender forearm seemed to be even weaker in his broad palm.
He was about to comfort her that the mosquito had drunk blood and ran away, only to see Li Wuyuan frown impatiently, raise his hand and press on the wall behind Xu Ran, and the air flow around the two of them instantly began to go backwards.
In the small space where the two of them were, Xu Ran seemed to feel the soft and slow flow of air, which formed a circular space that enveloped the two of them, and the night breeze and mosquitoes were kept out.
Xu Ran was stunned for a long time, and his throat moved slightly: "I can't see it, stupid cat, you are still ......"
"It can only last for about two hours at most, and at most it will keep mosquitoes out."
Li Wuyuan said honestly.
Xu Ran licked his lips, swallowed the unspoken praise back to his stomach for the time being, and said as sincerely as possible:
"It's already amazing...... Uh, I mean, it's magical. ”
Li Wuyuan stared at him and said, "You are closer to me, I won't be able to hold it if the space is too big." ”
Xu Ran saw that her attitude was admitted, and it didn't seem like she was lying, so she got closer.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, he was hugged by the other party's neck.
"Hey ......"
The corners of Xu Ran's eyes twitched, and he subconsciously wanted to bow his head to break free, but suddenly heard Li Wuyuan say:
"I'm not done yet!"
His movements stopped.
"I like you being nice to me."
The girl's eyes cut the water, and her smile is like a starlight floating in the Milky Way.
However, after hearing her answer, for a moment, something in Xu Ran's eyes dimmed.
"That's it?"
"That's right." She replied briskly.
Xu Ran: "So, if someone else is good to you, you will also like him, right?" ”
Li Wuyuan doesn't have as many tricks as him, and it's far less complicated.
She shook her head: "No, there is only one person in this world who is good to me except you, but I didn't like him at the time. ”
"Only one?" Xu Ran's eyebrows were furrowed, and his tone was impatient, "Li Wuyuan, last time I remember you told me that I was the only person in this world who was good to you, may I ask if what you said was actually a fart?" ”
Li Wuyuan: "I didn't fart, and now you are the only one." ”
She paused before saying, "That man is dead." ”
Xu Ran was stunned for a moment, and the displeasure on his face gradually turned to shame.
"I'm sorry."
"He's ...... to you Important, right? ”
He had never seen Li Wuyuan show such an expression, as if he was deliberately pretending to be indifferent, but his eyes overflowed with heartache that he couldn't stop.
"He is the first person in this world who cares about me, and he is the person I owe the most in this world." Li Wuyuan said, "I've been trying to make up for it, but unfortunately I haven't found a chance." ”
Xu Ran smiled uncomfortably, with relief in his smile.
"There's going to be a chance."
He didn't notice that Li Wuyuan's eyes never left him, and he followed him and said firmly, "Hmm." ”
This night was peaceful, the rooster crowed, and Xu Ran and Li Wuyuan, who had messy hair, bumped into Zhang Siyang and Qi Lei with messy hair at the door of Wang's house.
Nothing came of it on either side.
"It's really weird, could it be that this dog thing heard about Lao Tzu's prestige and didn't dare to come out?" Zhang Siyang pulled his face to smoke, and put gold on his face while smoking.
"Could it be that the place is wrong?" Qi Lei guessed, and asked Xu Ran again: "Did you change positions at night?" ”
Xu Ran remembered that last night because he was reluctant to release the small piece of mosquito net-like enchantment, the two of them did not move an inch, and pinched the bridge of their noses a little weakly.
"No, we're worried about startling the snake."
Zhang Siyang: "Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil, go to sleep, and squat again tonight!" ”
With that, he got up and went back to his room.
There is no other place to live these days, and everyone can only live in Wang Shanghuai's house temporarily.
"I really think of myself as a leader." Li Wuyuan said disdainfully in the direction of Zhang Siyang's departure.
"After all, we entrusted him to help first," Xu Ran said, "Now that something has happened, we have no reason to do anything with him again." ”
Li Wuyuan remembered the cause of the incident and was silent for a while.
"Now that there is no birth talisman as a guarantee, what should I do with the child in Zhu Fang's belly?"
Xu Ran was also having a headache about this matter, and just shook his head silently when he heard the words.
After that, for three days, the four of them made up for sleep during the day and squatted at night, but the final result of painstaking and lonely day and night was that they did not even see a single hair of the drought.
Seeing that it was going to be too much, the village chief brought someone here.
As soon as he entered, he went straight in.
"A few people, let's not talk nonsense, you shouldn't be happy if this person has been lying for so many days, hurry up and cremate."
Zhang Siyang temporarily restrained his violent temper and said, "I said village chief, are you sure that you are not mistaken?" I, Zhang Siyang, am also a figure with a head and a face in Liudao Village, how many zongzi I can't catch? ”
Zhang Siyang paced in the middle of the room, and several young men stood guard in front of the village chief, beware of him from beating people.
"My apprentices and I keep vigil day and night, but we just can't wait. - By the way, are there still people who lack chickens and ducks in their houses these days? ”
The village chief and a few young people looked at each other and discussed for a while before replying: "I didn't pay attention to this, but the drought was a nail in the coffin before, so what's the benefit of me lying to you?" ”
"What's the point?" Zhang Siyang laughed, "A few big men don't know how to save their energy to dig wells and repair canals, and when something happens, they will complain, and the basins will be deducted from the heads of the zongzi." ”
"Zhang Siyang, you don't look down on people because you have a little notoriety there!" A young and strong man beside the village chief said angrily.
"Lao Tzu looks down on me, what's the matter?"
Xu Ran saw that the momentum was wrong, and pulled Zhang Siyang's sleeve in pain, but Zhang Siyang didn't care at all.
"Lao Tzu waited for three days, and I didn't see a single hair of the drought, isn't this fucking raised by these bitches playing with Lao Tzu?"
"The surname is Zhang!"
"Pillars!" The village chief stopped the man's impulsive steps, "Go aside!" ”
The pillar glared at Zhang Siyang viciously and took a step back.
Village Chief: "Zhang Siyang, you came from another village, Lao Tzu respected you as a guest a few days ago, who knew that your mouth is really more stinky than!" You don't believe it, do you? Okay, don't say that our old men in Banpo Village are talking nonsense when they open their eyes, I'll take you to see the truth now! ”
The accompanying villagers scolded and scolded, and their morale was high, and they took a few hoes and shovels directly from Wang's house, and took Zhang Siyang and his party to the cemetery in the wild.
As soon as they arrived, the pillar led the people to start digging graves.
"Hey! Are you all crazy! You can't do that! ”
Qi Lei wanted to rush over to stop him, but was stopped by the village chief.
The other party said to him slowly, "Young man, don't worry. This is the new grave in the mouth of the little girl within a hundred days, don't you don't believe what I say? Don't worry, you'll know when you're done. ”
Xu Ran frowned incomprehensibly: "Village chief, if you do this, aren't you afraid that the family of the deceased will come to the door?" ”
Village Chief: "Family? Young man, what is the concept of drying a river in half a month? Now that the drought has ruined people's hearts, who the cares about the dead? It is the wish of the whole village to get rid of the drought, if it weren't for the fact that it had been placed there a long time ago, do you think the villagers would believe it? ”
Xu Ran was silent for a moment: "What this means is that you have already dug a grave before, right?" ”
"Not bad."
Zhang Siyang obviously didn't expect them to do such a heartbreaking thing, with an unreasonable look on his face: "It's really crazy, I think all the people in this village are crazy!" ”
The village chief listened to it and just sneered.
"Village chief, dig it up!"
The pillar came up with a hoe on his shoulder.
The village chief nodded, pointed his chin towards the cemetery, and motioned for Xu Ran to go over and look at it for himself.
I saw that in the three big pits covered with loess around them, there were three large coffins, and people opened them one by one, and they were all empty.
"I'm afraid you'll say it's a fake, three," said the village chief, pointing to the empty coffin in the dirt pit, "what's the matter?" Do you think I'm acting for you all day? ”
Zhang Siyang looked at the ground, couldn't speak for a long time, subconsciously touched his trouser pocket, and found that he didn't bring cigarettes.
"This ...... What about the corpse in the coffin? Qi Lei asked in amazement.
"Ran away."
"Ran away?!"
Li Wuyuan glanced at the grave bag: "The grass is all dead, and the soil is wet." ”
Zhang Siyang's hand shook slightly, and he took a sip: "It's really fucking evil." ”
Village Chief: "Now you believe in evil?" ”
"That's not what Lao Tzu said."
Zhang Siyang glanced at the mounds all over the mountains, and the yin wind gusted, blowing through the graves with dead grass.
"If you don't return to the coffin during the day, you only make trouble at night, so where the hell do all these things go during the day?"
After saying this, almost everyone present shivered, and goosebumps rose all over their bodies.
Invisibly, there seemed to be countless pairs of black hole eyes in the woods, staring at the people on the side of the empty grave, peeking at this group of uninvited guests.
"Fuck it! I guess it's hiding somewhere to give birth to maggots! The village chief was the first to break the silence, because of the drought, he had already made up his mind to break the net.
He said to Xu Ran: "Young man, I see that you wear glasses and are quite gentle, you are a scholar, you should know what to say and have faith, right?" Do you remember how your master Zhang Siyang agreed before? ”
Xu Ran paused, and had to admit: "If you can't catch the dartle, you will be cremated, I remember." ”
Village Chief: "Just remember." Zhang Siyang, you have nothing to say, right? ”
"No!" Zhang Siyang raised his eyebrows and glared angrily, "That's what he said, Lao Tzu didn't agree!" ”
The village chief's face changed instantly: "You fucking ......"
"Lao Zhang!"
Xu Ran grabbed Zhang Siyang's arm and asked in a low voice: "Is it important how to bury it, or is it important to find out the real murderer, won't you weigh it yourself!" ”
Zhang Siyang suddenly quieted down.
