The sky was about to darken, and Wu Ming's eight people sat on the earthen kang, each with a jar of apricot blossom Fen wine, and they ate wolf-gobbling wine.
In the outhouse, Zhang Laohan's family of six was also having dinner.
A bowl of noodle porridge for one person, with a few vegetable leaves floating in it, the family smelled the aroma of wine and meat, and twitched their noses from time to time.
"Grandpa, who's in the house? Why do we sleep in a firewood room at night and give them a house to live in? ”
A little girl of thirteen or fourteen, sitting next to Zhang Laohan, couldn't help but look inside frequently.
Zhang Laohan knocked on the dining table with his fingers, took up the posture of the head of the family, and said in a deep voice: "The people who live in it are all exorcists, and they are all very capable!" If we let them stay in our houses for one night, we will have to throw out a few pieces of silver, which will be handed over to the village, which will be enough for us to fill two more buffaloes. ”
"Dad, one buffalo is enough for our family, and it is important to buy a field. The eldest girl is thirteen this year, and the second girl is almost nine years old, and the day of marriage is also approaching. With a few more pieces of land in hand, you will not have to worry about the days to come, and you will be able to enjoy a few more days of happiness. Speaking of money, Zhang Laohan's son and daughter-in-law showed a little excitement in their eyes.
Mrs. Zhang didn't care about this, so she took chopsticks and pinched a few pickles for her little granddaughter, and said cowardly: "Be quiet, don't let people hear it!" ”
"Grandma, when I grow up, can I also be an exorcist?" At the age of eight or nine years old, Erya understands some things.
In her young mind, the exorcist who gulped down wine and ate large pieces of meat was nothing more than imposing.
Otherwise, the grandfather, who said nothing at home, would not take the whole family to sleep in the firewood room, and would have to vacate the house.
"The little girl's family, what are you thinking! The exorcist is so good, the horse widow at the east end of the village climbed into the exorcist's bed, and she ate and drank spicy food. But look at the sixth horse, that is the younger brother of the horse widow, and he has not been left in the village to herd sheep for people, and he has been fooled like this all his life. This is not even a man, and how blessed you must be to dare to dream of these things. ”
Zhang Laohan is patriarchal, and he doesn't have a good face for his two granddaughters.
The second girl lowered her head sullenly, her eyes still couldn't stop drifting into the house, and for the first time she knew what it meant to be longing.
A visible portal that separates the two worlds.
Inside the house, Wu Ming and a few people drank wine and ate meat, talking, laughing, and being bohemian.
Outside the house, Zhang Laohan's family was drinking gruel, their eyes were erratic, and their faces were full of envy, like two people in the same world.
"If the life of an exorcist is like this, what does my future look like?" The big girl didn't make a sound, but she was thinking nonsense in her heart.
She couldn't help but look at the gruel in the bowl, and then at the gray-haired grandmother.
If it doesn't change, her fate is to marry a man with his back to the loess like her grandmother. I have lived in a small mountain village all my life, and like those little old ladies, I am worried about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Thinking of such a future, the eldest girl sniffed softly, the smell of wine and meat coming from the back room, and only felt that she was so unwilling, so unwilling.
"Eat and drink well, go to bed early tonight, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning."
After eating and drinking, Wu Ming was slightly drunk and watched everyone leave.
Outside the house, Mrs. Zhang boiled hot water for Duan Xiaoxiao and the fourth sister to bathe.
And Zhang Laohan's daughter-in-law crept in with her daughter, bowing her head to clean up the leftovers on the table, and even suppressed her breathing very low.
Wu Ming lay on the earthen kang, squinting his eyes, thinking about tomorrow.
Suddenly, he noticed that there were frequent glances, and he raised his head to meet the gaze of the little girl.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, his washed white clothes were somewhat thin because of malnutrition.
The eldest girl is only delicate, and her body bones have not grown at all, Wu Ming lost interest after a glance, and closed his eyes again.
There was nothing to say all night, and at ten minutes in the middle of the night, Wu Ming felt that his door was gently pushed twice.
It's a pity that before going to sleep, Wu Ming laid a defensive barrier from inside to block this uninvited guest.
When I woke up the next day, it was raining lightly outside, and I felt a sense of coolness.
Wu Ming thought about the door pusher last night, waved his hand to disperse the defensive magic, and stretched his waist as he walked out.
"Crunch..."
The sound of pushing the door sounded, and in the side room where Sansha lived, a limping little girl walked out, who was Zhang Laohan's granddaughter.
Feeling Wu Ming's gaze, the eldest girl smiled at Wu Ming reluctantly with a painful look on her face.
"No, it won't!"
The raindrops hit the face, bringing a hint of coolness.
Wu Ming looked at the eldest girl's walking movement with surprise in his eyes, and then looked at the half-hidden door of the room, and suddenly thought of a bloody thing.
Sansha is in his twenties, and he is just in his blood, and more importantly, he doesn't have a wife.
Looking at the meaning of the big girl, eighty percent of them climbed out of bed.
The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, and the three evils are an honest character, and this routine is portrayed a bit deeply.
"No, last night, the person who came to push the door of my room couldn't be a big girl, right?" Wu Ming suddenly thought of the fact that someone came to push the door last night.
Wu Ming was sleeping soundly at that time, and he pushed the door a few times and left, and he didn't care who this person was.
Now, when it comes to the big girl's lame leg and the act of coming out of the room of the three evils, it's a bit scary to think about it.
"Big girl, big girl......" As soon as the big girl came out, Sansha rushed out.
He was draped in a garment of clothes, barefoot, and the shoe on the other foot was thrown out after he had not taken a few steps.
"Let go of me, what else do you want to do? I'm kind enough to bring you water, who misses you, you ....... Whining. "The pear blossoms crying with rain are standing in the rain like a tearful person.
Where had Sansha seen this, his face immediately turned red, and he explained: "I thought I was dreaming, who would have thought it was true, I really didn't mean it." ”
"It's not on purpose, how can I get married, who will want me?"
"Marry me, I'm responsible for you, don't cry, okay?"
After asking and answering, Wu Ming obviously saw a little joy flashing in the eyes of the eldest girl.
Wu Ming can see that what is sending water and warmth, it is full of routines.
This wants to catch the old and even if he is so scheming, at such a young age, there is no problem in staging the palace heart lock jade, and it is a bit condescending to put it on the three evils.
"Sansha, what's going on?"
Hearing the commotion outside, the others also came out.
Sansha dodged and lowered her head, and the eldest girl couldn't stop crying, and no one understood after watching it for a long time.
After a while, Zhang Laohan's family also came over, and the two groups of people looked at each other.
In the end, it was Mrs. Zhang who got out of the horse and took the eldest girl to ask a few words elsewhere, only to know that her granddaughter had climbed out of bed in the middle of the night.
"Third brother, it's normal for men to be merciful, just give some silver and send it away." Da Sha was the oldest, and said nonchalantly.
The second evil also nodded, supporting Dasha's statement, and said: "The third brother, what the eldest brother said is right, we people go from south to north, and it doesn't look good to take our families with us, just give more money, can't you really marry her?" ”
As soon as everyone said it, the big girl herself was frightened.
She gave her body in order to fly on the branches and marry Sansha directly, in exchange for the rest of her life.
If Sansha doesn't marry her and gives the money directly, she will accept the money or not.
"Sansha, you're not too young, what do you think yourself?" Duan Xiaoxiao didn't have anyone to follow the clouds, but directly clarified the relationship and asked about the plans of the three evils.
Sansha lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at the horror on the eldest girl's face, and said in a muffled voice: "I want to marry her, I am a man, and I should be responsible." And I don't want to drift anymore. I don't want to, in the future, like the eldest brother and the second brother, I won't even have a home at the age of thirty or forty. ”
"Understood, you stay, and when we come back, we'll handle your marriage!" Duan Xiaoxiao heard Sansha's plan and nodded with a smile and blessing.
Dasha and Sansha sighed, looked at the light rain in the sky, looked at each other and said nothing.
Everyone has their own life, and if they are tired of wandering, it may not be a good choice to stay.
The exorcist licks the blood from the knife and exchanges his life for silver, in addition to being chic, there is also loneliness that outsiders can't see.
Especially the last sentence, I don't want to be thirty or forty years old and don't even have a home, which makes Dasha and Sansha full of touch, and I also understand Sansha's thoughts to some extent.
In the crowd that set off, eight people became six, and the three demons and the youngest five demons remained.
Everyone braved the light rain, no one spoke along the way, and climbed to the top of Wuzhi Mountain.
On the peak of Wuzhi Mountain, there is a dilapidated small temple, and there is a pool in the temple, which is engraved with the four characters of mirror flower water and moon.
Wu Ming stood on the edge of the inscription and raised his eyes to look at the mountains in the distance.
In a trance, I saw a big Buddha lying on the ground, which was standing out from the mountains and descending on the mortal world.
"Found you, Monkey King!"
A little under Wu Ming's feet, the whole person rose into the air and flew towards the big Buddha in the distance.
Three minutes later, Wu Ming descended from the sky and landed steadily in a turquoise lotus treasure land.
Lotus leaves, lotus flowers, blooming all over the valley.
In the center of the valley, a dark cave comes into view, obscured by a large golden lotus.
"Valley, lotus, earth cave, golden lotus!"
Wu Ming looked around, walked to the entrance of the cave and set aside the golden lotus, and jumped down without thinking.
With the addition of the levitation technique, he descended six or seven meters down, and landed steadily on the ground.
Wu Ming raised his eyes and looked around, and what he saw was a stone table and a six-character mantra tablet.
"Boom!"
Reciting the mantra on the stone tablet, Wu Ming slowly turned around and said, "Monkey King? ”
"Who, who's calling me?" (To be continued.) )
