Chapter 81: The Dead Bamboo Festival

I searched for Xue Qian's house for a few days in a row, but found nothing. After several days of rummaging, my heart gradually cooled down.

First of all, I don't know what such a baby is. If you look for it by feeling, you may not be able to recognize it even if you find it. Secondly, after so many years, maybe the Xue family has already sold this treasure.

After figuring out these two tricks, I know that seven days is not a short time, but it is definitely not enough for me to find such a baby.

On the evening of the sixth day, I walked out of Xue Qian's house and started wandering around the street.

I stared blankly at the street lamps, and actually had a desperate thought: tomorrow is my death. Before I die, let's take a good look at the city.

I pulled out my phone and called home. I forcibly endured my feelings, made up nonsense, described my good life here, and promised to return home soon.

I talked as I walked until my phone ran out of battery. That's why I put it in my pocket.

When I put my phone away, I realized that I had moved away from the city to the suburbs.

I looked around and suddenly realized that this place was familiar. It seems to be a road that Mr. Lu walked when he took me to find the river for a long time.

I stood in the middle of the path, and my heart gradually brightened: "In that bamboo forest, there was once Old Man Xue. Since he left the knife in the tomb. So is the baby who can restrain the murder knife nearby? ”

I patted my head and sighed, "I'm really confused, I only know how to rummage around Xue Qian's house, why didn't I think of coming here to have a look?" ”

Old Man Xue's bones have long been removed, and his soul disappeared in front of us that day. I went to see him this time, and it was impossible to see him in person. Still, it's possible to dig up what he's buried.

With memory in mind, I hurried forward. However, when I reached my destination, I was stunned.

I didn't see the bamboo forest, but I saw the huts and the brightly lit and smoky figures.

My heart is uneasy, have I encountered dirty things again? I hid outside and watched for a while, and the figures were just busily coming and going, not looking like ghosts. Gradually, my heart relaxed.

Then, I cautiously walked inside. I saw that the huts here were all made of bamboo. Tall bamboos made beams, ropes connected the pieces of bamboo to form walls, and tiny bamboos were tied up to form windows and small doors. It's simple, but it looks exquisite, like some kind of work of art.

I saw that every household had a stove made of red bricks and yellow mud at the door, and the bamboo leaves below were beeping, and I didn't know what was cooking in the pot, but it was full of fragrance, and it was very refreshing to smell the inside of the nose.

I took two steps here in confusion, and then I saw a young girl, who was crouching on the ground, frowning and blowing fire. When I saw her kind appearance, I couldn't help but feel good. So he walked over cautiously and said, "May I ask ......?"

My voice may have been a little sudden, but it startled her. She stood up in a panic, looked at me, and said, "What are you doing?" ”

I was a little embarrassed and said, "Excuse me, what's going on here?" When it was a few months old, it was still a bamboo forest, how did it become a hut? ”

When the girl heard me ask, the vigilance on her face was swept away, and she smiled at me and said, "You are not a local, are you?" ”

I just nodded and said, "I went to college here." Counting it, I have lived there for five years. ”

The girl smiled: "Five years is not enough, at least twenty years." She pointed to herself and said, "We all came from a nearby village to celebrate the Bamboo Festival. The bamboo in this place dies every twenty years. When the time comes, we will rush over, build a hut out of bamboo, and then make tea and drink. ”

As she spoke, the girl pointed to the small pot on the stove. The girl said, "The thin bamboo branches boiled here can be drunk as tea." The taste is particularly good, and after drinking, it is good for the body, and many seriously ill people have been cured by this tea. ”

I nodded, "I see." Dry bamboo, it's interesting, I haven't heard of it before. ”

The girl pointed to the hut enthusiastically and said, "Do you want to go in and sit for a while, and when my tea is ready, please taste it." ”

I saw the blazing fire shining on her face, bright and moving, and I couldn't help but feel a little distracted, and I had long forgotten what I was doing this time. So he nodded a little sluggishly: "Okay, okay." ”

Then, as soon as I bent down, I went to the hut. The tables and chairs in the hut are also made of bamboo, which gives people a very chic feeling.

I looked at the bamboos in the room, and I suddenly remembered that I was in Mr. Xue's grave. When I see bamboo, it feels like they are very much like human joints.

Now, the idea has come out of place.

I looked outside, but was surprised to find that the girl who had been boiling water just now was gone.

I walked to the door in confusion and opened the girl's pot to see if the tea was ready. I blew away the vapor, looked inside, and was speechless.

The contents of the pot are like a few bamboo shoots. It was boiled and white. Although it was dark at this time, I knew by the light of the fire in the stove that this thing was not a bamboo shoot, but a human finger.

I slowly put the lid back on, knowing in my heart that I had encountered something dirty today. It's strange that I'm too big, knowing that this bamboo forest is close to mass graves, and it has never been peaceful, and I still have to believe in some withered bamboo knots.

I wanted to slip away, however, the girl's voice sounded around me: "Why did you get out?" Not waiting in the house? Can't wait for tea? ”

I turned my head to look at her, and she still had a smile on her face. However, at this time, I didn't have the courage to appreciate it.

I hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, the tea will only taste good after boiling for a long time, it's best to wait a while." ”

I couldn't run away in front of her, so I bent down and went back to the bamboo hut.

I sat in the room for a few minutes, and saw the girl crouch down again to blow the fire. I thought to myself, "The opportunity has come, if I don't leave now, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave in the future." ”

So I stood up gently and walked over to the bamboo window. I poked my head out and looked outside. It was empty outside, and there were no pedestrians. I was overjoyed and slowly got out.

After I got out of the bamboo window, I didn't dare to run away immediately. Instead, he squatted in the dark shadow and waited quietly for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement around, he bent down and took two steps forward.

However, a few seconds later, I suddenly heard a voice in front of me say, "You haven't drunk tea yet, why are you leaving?" ”

I shuddered and quickly looked up, and I saw the girl standing on the road with a bowl of tea. Iron and iron blue, no longer as soft as before.

My heart was pounding, and I dared to say, "I'm not thirsty, I don't want tea." ”

The girl sneered: "The rules of the withered bamboo." You can't go without tea. ”

I shook my head and stepped back.

The girl understood that at this time I had already seen through the mechanism, so she simply tore her face, raised her eyebrows, and said, "If you don't drink tea, how can I be reincarnated?" I waited for decades, and finally walked to my bamboo house. In this life, you don't even want to escape. ”

I looked at her with trepidation: "Are you looking for a replacement for the dead ghost?" ”

The girl laughed, and as she laughed, the flesh and skin on her face fell off, and soon she became a short, bloated old woman. She took the tea and said, "Decades ago, I was like you, I got lost and came here. When I was hungry and thirsty, I drank a bowl of tea. As a result, he became a lonely ghost here, and he couldn't be reincarnated for decades. Every 20 years, no one has ever walked into my house. Hehe, I didn't expect me to become a girl, and someone was really fooled. ”

I stepped back step by step, thinking, "If you drink it, you can't be reincarnated." I'd rather kill myself than drink. ”

However, she apparently didn't want to give me a chance to kill myself. I winked at her. A series of shouts rang out behind me, and I turned around to see that all the people who were making tea had stopped what they were doing and surrounded me.

She walked over slowly with tea, as if to comfort me: "Don't worry, there are rules here, as long as you enter the bamboo house, you will be my person." These neighbors are just helping me catch you. ”
