Zheng Pei ran down the road to the mountain, and the villager seemed to have called a helper, and the two of them chased after him. Although the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info mountain is not high, the distance is not short because the mountain road is a zigzag winding mountain road. In addition, Zheng Pei's heart is already hungry, so the distance between the two waves of people is getting shorter and shorter. What made Zheng Pei even more worried was that the two people behind seemed to have some deep hatred and hatred against him, chasing and shouting, although he couldn't understand it, it shouldn't be a good word, and if it fell into their hands, it was estimated that they would be beaten first. So Zheng Pei could only run desperately, and in a blink of an eye, he had already run up the hill.

Sure enough, halfway up the hill in front, Zheng Pei saw a small house, the black planks meant many years, and the contrast with the surrounding green grass and trees seemed abrupt and scary. Zheng Pei didn't have time to think about it, so he ran forward in the direction of the wooden house, and when he turned onto the path leading to the wooden house, he found that the two people chasing after him were standing still and not running. Their hesitant and fearful eyes told Zheng Pei that the wooden house didn't seem to be approached, and the two stopped shouting loudly and turned to whispering, which made Zheng Pei even more worried. He understood that this wooden house should be a forbidden place in this place, and a rash intrusion should lead to something very serious. However, judging from his experience with Ba Niang, the more mysterious and terrifying the place, the more likely it is to be the target he is looking for.

Zheng Pei continued along the path overgrown with wild grass, the sun had not yet risen, and the trees on both sides looked ghostly in the faint light of the sky. But when Zheng Pei walked out of the path, he found that the grass and trees in front of the hut were neatly tied, and there were vegetable patches and wells next to the house, which was like an idyllic scene.

Zheng Pei approached the wooden house, the windows and doors were covered by wooden boards, and he couldn't see the situation inside. He listened with his ear to the door, and there seemed to be no sound inside. He thought for a moment, and although he hesitated, he patted the door panel with his hand.

"Anyone?" Zheng Pei asked, but it was still quiet in the four corners, and there was no sound at all.

"Papapa", Zheng Pei patted the door panel again, but there was still no movement. He took a few steps back, looked closely, and found that the roof of the hut was strange: half of the roof was neatly planked, with a little thatch, and some stones; On the other side, the roof was in tatters, with logged beams exposed and planks scattered on top of it, so that nothing could cover it. Zheng Pei secretly wondered, would there be people living in such a house? Could it be that he was looking for the wrong one?

Zheng Pei felt that he was still looking for the wrong one, how could such a house be inhabited, maybe there would be new discoveries if he walked further. He turned and walked into the path, wondering how he could find something to eat and coax his stomach first. But when he walked out of the path, he froze......

In front of him was the same dilapidated house.

How is this possible, Zheng Pei looked back at the path, it was straight and did not fork, he should have walked to the hillside where he came, how could he return to the door of the wooden house?

But Zheng Pei took a closer look and found that he was not back in front of the wooden house he was in just now. Everything in this wooden house is the opposite of the previous wooden house, the vegetable patch, the well, the tattered roof, everything is like a mirror image of the previous wooden house. Zheng Pei couldn't figure out how he had come here, so he decided to try it again on the side of the path. But as soon as he turned around, he was almost half scared to death!

At some point, a dark, thin old woman stood behind him. She looked to be seventy or eighty years old, with gray hair tucked behind her ears, and a black cloth suit, which was a dirty black-gray because of the uneven dyeing and fading. She carried a bamboo basket with some blades of grass in it. At this time, the old woman was standing behind Zheng Pei with her back bent, and there was a trace of doubt in her eyes, in addition to hostility.

Zheng Pei suddenly thought that this should be Ba Niang's Eminem, so he hurriedly took out his hairpin and handed it to the old woman. But the old woman only glanced at it, neither answered nor spoke, turned her head and walked away. Zheng Pei stood blankly, not knowing what to do. He saw that the old woman was about to remove the planks from the door, so he hurried over to help, and removed the planks one by one and stood behind the threshold. And the old woman didn't say anything, let Zheng Pei help, and went into the house to pack up the back basket and firewood. Zheng Pei feels very embarrassed now, the old woman doesn't speak, he doesn't go, he doesn't go. But he felt that the old woman's hostility towards him at the beginning had disappeared, and the indifference in his eyes seemed to be a recognition of him, so Zheng Pei also stood quietly to the side, watching the old woman go in and out of the house.

It was only then that Zheng Pei had the opportunity to see the furnishings in the house. The room was dark, and the damp air froze with the cold, until the old woman lit a firewood in the middle of the room, and it gradually warmed up. The room was empty and unfurnished, except for a bamboo bed in the middle corner, with various working tools scattered around it, and a bunch of chili peppers and a few strips of black bacon hanging on the wall. Zheng Pei looked back at the inner room behind him and found that the furnishings inside were completely different from the outside. There are bamboo beds, dressers, bamboo chairs and bookshelves, with hanging paintings and a small mirror on the walls, while on the bamboo bed are some brightly colored clothes and accessories, and even a sewing basket. The roof of this room, which was like a girl's boudoir, was surprisingly dilapidated, which made Zheng Pei puzzled.

Near noon, the old woman boiled a pot of porridge in a black tin can, and the hot aroma kept teasing Zheng Pei's stomach. The old woman didn't seem to care that Zheng Pei swallowed her saliva, still slowly stirring the porridge in the tin with a wooden spoon. The whole room was silent, only the boiling porridge made a "gurgling" sound. Zheng Pei twisted his face to the other side, trying not to make a sound when he swallowed his saliva. The old woman glanced at Zheng Pei, stopped stirring the porridge, lifted the tin can with a wooden spoon and put it on the floor, then took out a small wooden bowl with peeling paint and put a bowl of porridge, put it at the door, served another bowl herself, and walked to the bamboo bed to sit and eat. Zheng Pei thought that the bowl of porridge at the door was for himself, and stood up and was full of gratitude to get it, but before he could serve it, the old woman stomped on the ground angrily.

"That's not yours, you eat there!" The old woman pointed to the tin can.

Zheng Pei put the bowl back in surprise, walked to the tin can, and asked embarrassedly, "Mother-in-law, is there still a bowl?" ”

"Nope!" The old woman seemed to be very reluctant to be disturbed, and said angrily.

At this time, he couldn't care so much, Zheng Pei picked up the wooden spoon and began to eat, he ate the snoring of Xili, but because the porridge was too hot, soon, Zheng Pei felt that his upper gum was scalded off a layer of skin, but this is better than being hungry.

The old woman looked at Zheng Pei's gobbling up food, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, she immediately lowered her head and drank porridge gently with a wooden bowl.

The iron can was originally not big, but it was eaten by Zheng Pei. Zheng Pei looked at the old woman apologetically, feeling that he was too greedy, and maybe he ate the old woman's share. But the old woman ignored him, and after eating the porridge, she took the bowl of porridge that had been served before and went out of the house. Zheng Pei was very curious and wanted to go out with him, but he was afraid of being hated by the old woman, so he simply took the iron can and went to the well to fetch water to wash it and do something that could be done.

The old woman went out and never came back, Zheng Pei sat alone on the wooden chair in the house, and unconsciously fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes, it was already night. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, the room was pitch black, but by the moonlight, he saw a dark shadow at the door, and it was Ba Niang.

Ba Niang noticed that Zheng Pei woke up, she stood in the courtyard, looked up at the stars in the sky, there was no anger in her eyes, there was only sadness and gloom.

Zheng Pei stepped forward and whispered, "You Eminem......"

Ba Niang didn't turn around, just sighed.

Zheng Pei asked, "Why doesn't she take your hairpin?" Just a glance? ”

Ba Niang didn't answer immediately, her face was full of guilt, and after a while, she said slowly: "Eminem hasn't forgiven me yet, she still hates me......"

Zheng Pei was sad when he saw Ba Niang sitting on the edge of the well, and thought that maybe it would be better not to disturb her. He thought he was okay and wandered around the yard. Suddenly, he heard a bell ring somewhere, and a crisp bell rang through the night sky. Ba Niang was stunned when she heard the bell, as if she couldn't believe her ears. But when the second bell rang, she stood up with a "pout" and asked Zheng Pei, "Did you hear that?" Did you hear that? ”

"Hmm." Zheng Pei nodded, he pointed to the opposite side, "It seems to be coming from the other side." ”

Ba Niang turned around and walked to the trail, Zheng Pei saw the situation and hurriedly chased after him, and entered the trail with Ba Niang when he came in during the day. As the two of them were speeding forward in the trail, they heard the bell ringing again!

"Ding!"

Soon, Zheng Pei and Ba Niang walked out of the path, and as Zheng Pei expected, what was in front of them was indeed the wooden house he had seen for the first time. At this time there was a fire lit in the hut, and the old woman stood in the doorway, holding a wooden bowl in one hand and a small iron rod in the other, striking the bell. When the old woman saw Ba Niang and Zheng Pei, the small iron rod in her hand instantly slipped out of her hand, her body fell backwards and hit the door frame, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Boy?" Ah Tsai? ”

"Eminem!" Ba Niang knelt down in front of the old woman, although there were no tears, but she couldn't cry.

The old woman barely supported her body with her hands, and walked to Ba Niang tremblingly, but unexpectedly, the old woman did not hold Ba Niang in her arms, but shook her hand and gave Ba Niang a resounding slap.

Zheng Pei was stunned.

Ba Niang was slapped in the face, but she didn't dodge, she still knelt honestly in front of the old woman, as if she was allowed to beat. But when the old woman's slap was lifted into the air again, she slowly put down her hand in tears, and suddenly hugged Ba Niang tightly in her arms and cried.

Ba Niang snuggled in the arms of the old woman, like a wounded little beast leaning on her mother's side, even if the old woman's tears burned wisps of white smoke on her forehead, she was reluctant to let go of half a minute. And the old woman also hugged Ba Niang tightly, and sprinkled the porridge in the wooden bowl in her hand.

Zheng Pei turned sideways and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.

The old woman suddenly noticed the white smoke coming out of Ba Niang's forehead, pushed her away violently, and asked in surprise, "...... are you?"

Ba Niang didn't speak, just cried.

The old woman instantly understood the reason, she stood up "poof" and wanted to slap Ba Niang again, but after all, she couldn't get her hand, just sat on the ground, crying: "You disobedient boy......"
