Chapter 64 Hornbill Forest

Dead wood Zen City, miasma obscures eyes. There are no animals, grasses and insects, but you can hear the cicadas and warblers crying far and near. As Fluttershy says, it's really full of animal spirits.

The two of them follow Fluttershy cautiously, stopping to listen, waving her hand as if greeting someone, whispering on the branches of a dead tree, and bowing on the damp ground.

The three of them came to a round area without trees, there was a small house in the middle of the clearing, the house was wooden, but the bark of the dead trees used to make building materials had been neatly peeled off, which showed how careful the people who built this house were, and the construction of the house was particularly characteristic of the Northeast, with a triangular roof, a boxy chimney and a round yard enclosed. It's just that the crops in the yard can't see what they are, and they don't have any life at all.

Fluttershy motions for Li Shidong and the fourth child to stop, and walks into the courtyard by herself.

The courtyard was silent, there was no wind or rain, and it was like the air never circulated, so when there were ghosts around, it was surprisingly quiet. Fluttershy stopped as soon as she entered the courtyard, only to see her bow respectfully and say, "The little girl and the people of Xuanyuan Gate, the people of Zhongnanmen are going to Fengdu today to do something righteous, because it is the only way to go, and it is a last resort, and it will not disturb the seniors' cultivation. Fluttershy scans her surroundings with her eyes wary, her face filled with nervousness and fear. I don't know who the owner of this house is, but Fluttershy is definitely a difficult master to deal with.

"But it's still green and yellow...... "Suddenly a distant woman's voice came from the yard, the woman slowly walked out from the back of the house, looked at the green and yellow plants all over the ground and said sadly, "The slave family has been here for more than a thousand years, you look here, people say what seeds are planted and what fruits are produced, why do you have a green and yellow here, it's really boring tight, where can you smell the fragrance of flowers, Fang's Yiren red show ......."

The woman has a cyan gauze skirt, a slender figure, and looks like she is about thirty years old, but there are no traces of vicissitudes left in the mortal dust. The headdress and earrings are classical and simple. Carrying a flower basket in his hand, the flower basket is made of rattan, wrapped in an embroidered square scarf, embroidered with narcissus and green bamboo, simple and elegant.

The woman did not look back, but took out a white porcelain bottle from the flower basket and watered one of the plants in the ground, but the seedling was obviously black and yellow, and looked like a child who had died. The woman muttered, "Little sister, do you think this dark blue can be ripe?" This was clearly said to Fluttershy, who had just accosted her, and Fluttershy took two steps forward and said, "Can you show the juniors?" "Hehehe," said the woman, covering her mouth twice, "yes." Fluttershy motioned for Li Shidong and the fourth child to stay still, and walked over to the woman, the so-called orchid in her eyes was just a dead seedling, the hornbill forest was a lifeless place, no living thing could exist here, even Li Shidong felt stuffy after walking here for a while, it seemed that there was some kind of curse here, this curse did not allow life, not even the green grass that symbolized life.

Fluttershy muttered for a moment and said, "Orchid is in the vestibule, waiting for the breeze. The grass of the predecessors has not been cleared by the breeze, how can it be said that it is not in the middle of the sorrow. I said it can be done? But to die? Or is life and death really that important to the seniors? ”

"The poet said that the bird wastes the good bow, and it is ruthless." The woman seemed to have a sad face.

Fluttershy squatted on the ground with a smile and looked at the dead Miao in front of her and said, "Although the birds are exhausted, the good bow is not abolished, and the good bow is not destroyed, not to mention that although there are many birds, there are not many good bows. ”

"What a stream of water that flows thousands of miles around the stream......." The woman was silent, her eyes misty, as if thoughtful.

After being silent for a long time, Li Shidong and Lao Si stood stupidly at the door, whether they went in or left, they were silent inside, and they were silent outside. I don't know what I'm thinking about inside, and I don't know what to do outside.

About a quarter of an hour has passed, and Fluttershy walks over to Li Shidong and the fourth child, looking at this woman up close, her face is beautiful, elegant and delicate, not pink but soft, not wearing a military uniform but having a woman's appearance, which makes people unconsciously shocked by a temperament and aura. Li Shidong and the fourth child were shocked by this temperament and unconsciously bent down to give a salute, and said in unison: Hello seniors! ”

The woman didn't have any expression, nor did she make any movements, just glanced at the two stupid old men in tattered clothes with her eyes. Li Shidong saw that the other party didn't answer, so he cleared his throat and said: "The junior is surnamed Li, and he is a junior of Zhongnan Daomen. After Li Shidong finished speaking, he peeked at the woman, only to see that the woman seemed to be looking at herself very suspiciously, and the woman asked in a deep voice: "Are you from Zhongnanmen?" ”

"Exactly." Li Shidong replied.

"Your surname is Li?" The woman asked again?

"Exactly." Li Shidong is a little strange, does this mean that he shouldn't be from Zhong Nanmen, or that he shouldn't be surnamed Li, how can he look like a household registration checker.

I saw that the woman's mood seemed to be starting to get agitated, she stomped back and forth, muttering to herself what is impossible, it can't be so coincidental, providence and so on. The three of them were stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on.

Fluttershy sees that something is wrong, and as soon as she asks her senior, she is stopped by the woman's words, and she can only stand obediently next to the fourth, not knowing what to do.

The woman's eyes began to become sharp, and a small breeze began to blow in the surrounding space, which was the first time Li Shidong felt the flow of air since he entered the underground mansion, and it was also the first time that he felt a great sense of oppression.

"You say," the woman pointed to the fourth, "what are you here for?" ”

The fourth child asked a stirring spirit, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, but fortunately, he stood up and looked at Li Shidong to give him a look, so he attached the set of words of Xuanyuan's mother-in-law before, and even added a lot of details in the emotional description, so that the plot sounded even more bloody.

But after saying that, the woman didn't make any response, just looked at the eyes of the fourth child carefully, and the fourth eye didn't know where to put it, this kind of identity is not in a horizontal line of looking at the pressure on people is quite large, the fourth child was forced to really have no tricks, just wanted to resist, only to see the woman's apricot eyes wide, willow eyebrows upside down, and said sharply: "You lie!" ”
