Chapter Twenty-Three: The Strange Old Woman
As the old woman came to her house again, she sat on the small wooden stool, and after a while, she came out with a big bowl, and looked at the mouth of the bowl that was still steaming, and it seemed that she was heating up again, and my heart was a little unhappy, and I reached out to take the big bowl.
"Eat it quickly, these are rare supplements, and there is no harm in eating them. It's just hot, so eat it while it's hot. The old woman said to me with a smile.
"Thank you, mother-in-law." In any case, people are kind, and even if I don't like it, I can't show it too much.
Holding the bowl to his mouth, but it can only come here, and no further, he can't move a minute, and his hand is no longer obedient. The smell of poison in my nose was all over me, and I only felt a tumbling stomach that wanted to pour out, but fortunately, I was very patient, put the bowl aside, and went out to breathe a few breaths of fresh air, which was considered better.
"What? Dislike my wife and son? Suddenly, the old woman came up behind me and said in a displeased voice.
"No, no." I turned my head stiffly, not daring to face the burning gaze of the old woman.
I feel like my head is getting big at this time, what should I do, to eat or not to eat? I really can't eat it if I eat it, but if I don't eat it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out.
Never mind! Get out!
After hesitating again, I decided, although those things are disgusting, but in order to go out, to find the Heavenly Desire Temple, for the sake of my own life, I let go!
"Mother-in-law, after I eat it, can you take me out?" I asked, reconfirmed.
"Of course, you are also a guest of my house, and I will take you out." The old woman said with a smile.
I nodded, then picked up the bowl, held my breath, and poured it into my mouth. I didn't chew at all, I swallowed it directly in my stomach, and drank the contents of the bowl in one go.
Belch~
There was a belching sound, followed by a foul smell that came out of my mouth.
I couldn't take it anymore, I couldn't care about anything else, I just ran out and poured out.
I didn't even open my eyes to see it, I wanted to vomit all my intestines, Taitema was disgusting! Fortunately, I finally finished eating, and now I see if she has any reason not to take me out.
After cleaning up the stains on my mouth, I walked into the house, "Mother-in-law, can you take me out?" ”
"Yes." She said cheerfully, but she didn't see any reaction, and she still sat there, looking at me with a smile on her face.
"Mother-in-law, can we go now?" I made a point of emphasizing that it's now.
"Yes." She replied, but it was still like that, with no intention of getting up.
My anger came up at once, and I pointed at her nose and wanted to scold, but before I could scold, I suddenly stumbled on my legs and fell to the ground.
I just felt as if the strength of my body had been drained, and I couldn't use it at all. Then, my consciousness began to blur until I was unconscious......
Clang......
Clang......
Clang......
A melodious bell rang out of nowhere, waking me up from my sleep, and after looking around, I found that I was still on the ground, my position had not been moved, and nothing was missing from my body.
I wondered, what did that old woman mean? Drugged the rice, but didn't kill me, I can't guess.
The strength had regained somewhat, barely six or seventy, and he got up and walked outside.
It's already the middle of the night, and it's really unpleasant that the phone is out of battery.
The cold wind was blowing in the courtyard, but it was a little cool. The moonlight in the sky is shining in this small village.
The melodious sound of the bell did not stop, and gradually, I suddenly had a strange feeling, the bell seemed to be a little different, as if it was whispering something.
But I'm just a human being, and I don't understand its language.
The wind stirred the fallen leaves on the ground, making a rustling sound, which was especially obvious in this quiet night, and my figure was stretched long in the moonlight.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea came to my mind, the bell.
That's right, it's the bells!
If I follow the direction of the bell, can I go out, and the bell is not usually only found in temples? Maybe after going out, what catches your eye is the Temple of Heavenly Desire.
Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated, gently pushed open the wooden door, and walked out. The footsteps were very light, and somehow a fear had developed in my heart for the old woman.
Fortunately, I walked out safely, and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and closed the door gently.
Suddenly, a crumpled hand landed on my shoulder, almost skinny, but under the moonlight, it looked a little oozing.
My body instantly stiffened, and cold sweat broke out from my back.
"Who, who?" My voice trembled a little.
"Young man, it's so late, you still have to go out?"
Hearing this voice, the fear in my heart was even stronger, it was that old woman again, what was she going to do?
"Mother-in-law, you haven't slept so late?" I feigned composure and turned my head slowly.
"I can't sleep, go out for a walk." Her hand was lowered, and I was secretly relieved.
At this time, I also noticed that the bell had stopped. There is no chance today, let's look at tomorrow, maybe the bell will ring tomorrow, and then take the opportunity to run.
I had no choice but to go back temporarily, and I didn't close my eyes that night, and sat in the courtyard all night. It wasn't until the dawn of dawn hit my face that I was completely relaxed.
"Young man, haven't slept all night?" I had just relaxed, and my spirit was tense again.
"I can't sleep, it's like this when I come to a strange place." I pretended to be helpless.
"That's not a good habit." She said with a smile.
"Mother-in-law, can you take me out now?" I had pleading on my face.
"Yes." Again, but when I thought she was still like last time, just talking and not moving, she actually moved, opened the wooden door and walked out.
I was stunned for a moment, and quickly chased after it, great, I can finally go out, I don't want to come to this hellish place again.
Hey? I think I've said this before, and it seems that there is more than one place I don't want to go again.
The old woman was not very fast, with a cane in her hand, and I occasionally helped her and followed her.
I don't know if she really wants to take me out, but I don't have any other way but to go with her.
It's a strange village, and until now, I've never seen a single person, except this old woman.
"Alright". I was amazed at the sudden halt in her steps.
Looking at the towering trees all around, I don't know why she stopped here, could it be that there will be some secret door mechanism or something, and she can go out directly?
