Chapter 20: A sudden change in the face

When I looked back and saw the horrible face of the fairy woman in the moonlight, there was a commotion in the backyard. The fairy mother-in-law said sadly: "Ling Sen, in the middle of the night, you don't sleep, what are you doing in the backyard?" ”

I was speechless for a while, and when I faced this terrible old woman, somehow, I was still a little more scared in my heart, and even this fear was far beyond seeing Liu Degui, who was half human and half corpse.

While I was struggling, I heard the fairy woman say in a muffled voice, "It's none of your business, go back to your room." Remember, don't wander around in the middle of the night when it's okay. ”

There was a messy footstep behind me, and obviously, the screams I had just made attracted Liu Fugui and his wife, Shi Mengya, and the fairy mother-in-law's reprimand, so that they had to go back to their respective rooms.

I pondered for a while before I spit out a sentence, "Granny Xian, I don't know what's going on, I suddenly felt tight in my chest and thirsty, so I got up and walked around." ”

When Granny Fairy heard me, she suddenly stretched out a withered hand and looked at my face carefully as if she were appreciating an antique. After a long pause, she suddenly had a weird and terrifying smile on her face.

Granny Fairy actually changed her gloomy and stern just now, and told me in a kind tone not to walk around, but to go back to my room to rest, as long as I calmed down, the symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath would naturally disappear.

As soon as she left, I hurried to Shi Mengya's room and asked in a low voice through the window, "Mengya, are you okay?" ”

Shi Mengya said 'um', paused and asked me softly, "Brother Ling Sen, nothing happened to you over there, right?" ”

Hearing the concern in her tone, I felt as if I had been injected with chicken blood, and the uneasiness that I had just been startled by the fairy granny suddenly disappeared.

A man's composure is a woman's greatest sense of security in fear. I adjusted my breath so that I could calmly reply, "Mengya, it's not a big deal. I've solved a little trouble, tomorrow morning, you quickly follow me out of the Liu family's compound, I'll tell you what happened at night, maybe it's the material you need. ”

Shi Mengya said 'um', I was trying to find some reason to let her open the door and let me into the room, when I suddenly glanced at the figure of the fairy mother-in-law behind the pillar in the front yard, and I was shocked, for fear that there would be another accident, so I had to say hello to Shi Mengya, and hurried back to my room in the front yard.

It was just dawn, and I finally felt a little sleepy, when I was suddenly startled by a gentle knock on the door. I coughed dryly and calmly asked, "Who?" ”

Hearing Shi Mengya's voice, I calmed down and opened the door happily. She was carrying a backpack and seemed ready to flee here, and I said excitedly: "Mengya, wait for me in a while, I will leave here with you immediately after I pack my luggage." ”

"Leaving in a hurry so early and leaving without breakfast, it seems that my Liu family is too rude!" A gloomy voice sounded behind me and Shi Mengya, and I broke out in a cold sweat.

The fairy woman stood silently at the door of the room at some point. I complained, "Mother-in-law, why don't you make any sound when you walk?" It scared the rest of the world. ”

Granny Fairy said coldly: "Who said that I have no sound when I walk? It's that you only have me, the future and daughter-in-law, in your eyes, how can you hear the voice of the old woman? Ling Sen, what do you kid want to do? Want to kidnap Miss Shi early in the morning? ”

I was speechless for a while, and Shi Mengya hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law, Brother Ling Sen is a good person, he is not the kind of person you say!" Mother-in-law, I want to go to the town to buy something, I don't know anyone here, and I want to ask Brother Ling Sen to accompany me. ”

The fairy woman looked at the two of us suspiciously, and suddenly said with a straight face: "Let's talk about this later!" She suddenly raised her voice in the backyard and said, "Xiaofeng, it's time to serve the guests for breakfast." ”

Xiao Feng came out in response, holding a pot of hot gruel in his hand. Shi Mengya and I glanced at each other a few times, and then we had to follow the fairy mother-in-law who turned around and walked to the table of the eight immortals in the hall.

Granny Immortal sat down and said slowly, "After breakfast, Ling Sen, you should hurry home." Remember, you are not allowed to tell anyone that you have been to my Liu family. ”

I wish I had left this hellish place as soon as possible, and when she said this, I quickly agreed.

Granny Xian paused for a moment and said: "Miss Shi, you are the daughter-in-law of my Liu family, when you come to my Liu family, you have to follow the rules of my Liu family, don't go out easily, if you have anything to buy, just let Fugui go to the town." ”

I can't help but secretly complain in my heart, it seems that the purpose of the fairy mother-in-law has not been achieved, and she really will not let Shi Mengya leave. Shi Mengya looked at me, her eyes full of help.

I have to think of a way to take Shi Mengya out of this gloomy mansion. Just as I was thinking, an enamel basin suddenly snapped and was placed on the table of the Eight Immortals, and a pool of clear water inside stirred up a circle of ripples.

Xiao Feng said expressionlessly, "Ling Sen, how did you do it?" If you have a gray face, wipe your face first and then have breakfast! ”

After tossing all night, I did feel heavy eyelids and a greasy face. A basin of water was in front of me, and I didn't even use the towel handed by Xiaofeng, so I directly stuffed my face in the basin and rubbed it a few times with my hands.

The exhaustion and tension of the whole body were swept away by this clear water. I lifted my head, wiped a handful of water from my face, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Mengya pursed her lips and snickered: "Brother Ling Sen, thank you Sister Xiaofeng for bringing the water." Look at how handsome you are now, your face was still covered with dust just now. ”

When the fairy mother-in-law who was drinking the soup with her head down heard Shi Mengya's words, she suddenly stopped the spoon in her hand and stared at me in surprise. I showed her that she was inexplicable, and I didn't know what was going on.

She suddenly turned pale and said, "Boy, you are amazing!" Actually dusted me and deceived me. ”

What does she mean by that? I didn't understand, and neither did the others at the table, everyone looked at each other, and the room fell silent.

Granny Fairy stood up suddenly, and walked tremblingly towards her room. I looked at her back, and a strange feeling rose in my heart, and I even saw that the fairy woman seemed to be secretly wiping away tears.

How could she suddenly be like this? I was very puzzled in my heart, and when the corner of my eyes swept to the enamel basin containing water just now, a stirring spirit and a bold conjecture came to my mind.

Granny Fairy suddenly appeared last night, and when she saw me, she just calmly called me back to my room, was it really because she saw the ash on my face?

I thought of the pig's head that Liu Degui had sucked, maybe my face was covered with dust when I got under the bed, which made Granny Xian mistakenly think that Liu Degui had sucked my spirit.
