Chapter Fifty-Eight: Granny Zheng
The door on the opposite side of the road, the door is pasted with the word Fu, the cement paved ground in the courtyard, there is a half-height pig pen on the right side, there are no pigs in the pig pen, all the piles inside are wood, one by one the wood is cut into an arm's length, the fracture is very new, these woods seem to have been split for a long time, and it generally looks like this is a typical farm yard.
But the strange place is also that pile of wood, it was normal to pile some wood in the yard twenty years ago or even ten years ago, but now it is the end of 2012, how many villages still maintain the original earthen stove for cooking, at least Li Xian is difficult to go north, it has almost been seen in recent years, why does a house that burns coal or electricity and gas go to great lengths to split a pile of wood? It's a question worth pondering.
The old man in the small courtyard walked into the house, this house has two floors, the wall is covered with tiles, the white tiles reflect the sunlight in the cold sunlight also makes people feel cold, there is an old woman with white hair hanging down to her waist in the living room that opens the door, this old woman's hair is already white, but the hair does not look as dry and dull as the average old man, but silver and white, looking like the tail of an old fox.
The old woman heard the voice and turned around slowly, her movements were stiff and slow at first, and after a few seconds, she moved flexibly like a healthy ordinary person, and the old woman turned her face and startled the two women, this old woman looked about sixty or seventy years old, but the skin of an old face was wrinkled and gathered together, like chicken skin scalded by boiling water, it was really scary.
The old woman looked scary, but very enthusiastic, heard the old man say that it was a person who stayed overnight and immediately beckoned the three of them to go upstairs, seeing others so enthusiastic, and they hadn't seen a living person for a long time, the two women unconsciously relaxed their vigilance, the three followed the old woman upstairs, the two women were in front, Li Xian walked at the end, the old man stood at the bottom of the stairs and hung his head slightly, Li Xian turned back with a cold heart, and the old man showed a trace of the corners of his mouth that seemed to be sneering.
"My old man's surname is Zheng, so you can call me Granny Zheng!" The corridor on the second floor is on the left, from the left is a row of rooms, the corridor is at the back of the room at the front, the old woman took out the key to open the door, pushed the door in, the room is not big, there is a double bed in the middle, there is a large wardrobe at the foot of the bed, this is a single room without a suite, from the window in the room you can see the situation in the front yard and the village.
In addition to being a little damp, the room is not bad in other aspects, clean and tidy, just looking at the two zombies in the courtyard, this is a bit weird, but the owner didn't ask, Li Xian naturally didn't ask, hey, why aren't you afraid of zombies, what secrets do you have?
There are three rooms on the second floor, Li Xian and the three of them just occupied the second floor, Li Xian lived in the first room at the top of the stairs, and the two women lived in the other two, but Yu Moer just entered her room and took a look, and after thinking about it, she decided to live next door to Li Xian with Leng Leng.
"These three rooms belong to my son and daughter-in-law, they haven't been back for a long time, and if they are here, we won't let you stay overnight!" Seeing that the three of them were very satisfied with the house, the old woman who was wrinkled together stretched out and showed a terrifying smile, and her black and yellow teeth combined with the stench that erupted from her mouth made Li Xian frown and take a step back.
It's not wrong that this smell is bad breath, but there is some corpse smell in it.
"Granny Zheng, are your sons and daughters-in-law working outside?" The weird village didn't hide its weirdness, but although the old woman in front of her was weird, she was indeed a living person, and even her vitality was not much worse than that of ordinary young people, and the situation here was really curious.
"The son and daughter-in-law went far away!" The old woman's eyes flashed, her waist-length white hair seemed to be picked up by the wind and squirmed regularly, inadvertently it looked like a big white meat worm crawling on her head, Li Xian turned around, the branches outside the window that were covered with leaves were moving, there was wind, but the window in the room behind her was closed.
"It's messy out there now, and they didn't call back?"
"It's messy out there, so they should stay here, they should stay here, they should stay here forever!" The old woman's pupils dilated instantly, her rickety but very energetic body suddenly turned around, the old woman's sudden movements immediately aroused Li Xian's reaction, Li Xian's cuffs in the Tang Town Treasury money fell, was pinched by him in his hand, and he almost shot at the old woman.
But the old woman didn't look at him at all, she went straight downstairs, and when she walked to the second floor and half a floor, the old woman turned around and no longer had the madness she had just now, she stared at Li Xian with a strange look.
"Young man, tell me if you need anything, and I will try my best to meet you!"
Li Xian looked at the old woman and didn't answer, the old woman held the stainless steel handrail step by step, and her hand slipped off the stainless steel handrail without taking two steps, and the sound of her nails cutting through the steel pipe was uncomfortable in people's ears, in Li Ke's eyes, her back was lower with every step, and she seemed to be losing her vitality when she walked down the stairs, her movements quickly became stiff, and Li Xian even doubted that her body would freeze like a zombie when she went downstairs.
The figure of the old woman disappeared into the corridor, and Li Xian slowly closed the door.
The two girls seemed to be doing something, they didn't show their heads for a long time, Li Xian covered the door and put the peachwood sword on the bed, there was no quilt on the bed, but there was one in the wardrobe, Li Xian took out the quilt and spread it at will, even if the bed was made, after doing all this, Li Xian stood at the window with his arms crossed.
The two zombies in the yard stood straight, but what they said was also that if you let the zombies bend their legs, Li Xian felt a strong uneasiness from the two zombies, the black and white stiff were afraid, but Li Xian couldn't find what they were afraid of, the two zombies just instinctively felt scared and wanted to leave here.
Li Xian put his eyes into the distance, at the gate of the courtyard, the old man Zheng squatted at the door again and smoked a dry tobacco pouch very mechanically, his expression of smoking dry tobacco Li Xian had never seen it before, but now from his point of view, the old man Zheng's expression was full of a sly smile, and the strange expression appeared on the face of an old man in his seventies, which made people shudder.
As if sensing Li Xian's gaze, Old Man Zheng stiffened his neck and raised his head to smile at Li Xian, revealing a mouthful of yellow shiny teeth, and then he lowered his head and continued to smoke dry cigarettes.
This guy looks like a zombie! Li Xian silently said a word in his heart, and looked away, and the small fishing village in the evening fell into a thin layer of light black mist, which was a huge yin qi gathered by the old locust tree, and the fishing village in the yin qi seemed to be shrouded in a thin veil, which could not be seen really.
What can be seen in general is that dozens of families in this fishing village form an irregular oval on the seaside, except for the old man Zheng, there is no one in the village, and there is no obvious abnormality, to talk about the environment in the village, Li Xian's feeling is dead silence, as if the village is dead.
Suddenly, the corner of Li Xian's eyes flashed, and a strange reflection shone in Li Xian's eyes, Li Xian turned his head to look, it was the light from behind a three-story building at the east end of the village, this light flashed and disappeared, and in the thin mist, he could only vaguely distinguish what seemed to be there, but Li Xian couldn't see what it was, unless he opened the eyes of heaven to see, but the number of times he opened the eyes of heaven was limited, so he could still avoid it.
