After a while, the courtyard door was slowly opened, and the face was an elderly man fifty miles away, in the old past, he was very old in his fifties, and he was not tired of doing farm work day and night, plus eating was completely to fill his stomach, not to mention nutrition or something, my mind turned, I hugged my fists and said: "Hello uncle, I am from other places, passing by here, can I spend a night at your house." ”

The old man's hair was half white, and his face was wrinkled, but his spirit gave people a good feeling and was very tough, but he looked me up and down with a serious face, then got out of the way, and said lightly: "Come in." ”

Walking into the courtyard gate, what comes into view is a neat and tidy courtyard, all kinds of dry goods are hung on wooden stakes, the door is dried, the west is a well, the east side is next to the hall house is two stove houses, a very simple and simple farmhouse,

"Huahua her father, who's here."

Suddenly, an old lady with a cane came out of the hall, presumably the wife of an old man, but she walked tremblingly, and kept groping in front of me with one hand.

The old man's voice was slightly deep: "Blind old woman, what are you doing here?" ”

He reprimanded the old lady softly, then turned back to me and said gently, "Come into the house and sit." ”

"Hey." I smiled and nodded, and agreed,

The hall is quite spacious, tidy and orderly, although there is nothing, there is a picture of the eight immortals crossing the sea hanging in the middle hall, below is a dilapidated desk, in front of a few wooden benches, but it always gives people a very warm feeling,

The old man smiled and said, "Where did the baby come from, where are you going?" ”

I said: "Uncle, my name is Chu Qi, I am a disciple of Maoshan, I originally followed the master to travel the world to find the Tao, but halfway through, the master was really tired ,,,from traveling these days, so I came to your village to rest, and I will leave tomorrow, hehe." ”

The old man looked at me in surprise, and then nodded heavily: "The seventh day of the first month, you are young and promising, you can live a hard life of cultivation at such a young age, it is difficult for you, sit down." ”

I was just about to sit down, when a crisp and pleasant girl's voice suddenly came from the door: "Dad, who is coming to our house." ”

The footsteps came at the same time as the words came, I raised my head, and happened to see a girl of my age standing at the door, looking at me curiously, the girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate face, and a big hair braid hanging down on the shoulders, the upper body was an off-white shirt, the lower body was a blue floral long skirt, the skirt just fell on a pair of black cloth shoes, looking elegant and dignified,

Under the bangs, a pair of bright big eyes looked at me directly, I was in a mess, looking at her blankly, maybe noticing that I looked at her, the girl's pink face suddenly floated a touch of redness, hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to look at me, I also hurriedly turned my head to look at the old couple in front of me,

What's wrong with me, I don't retreat half a step when I see the ghost mountain spirit, how can I see that my heart will be chaotic at this time, and there is a feeling of heat on my face,

After a short period of embarrassment in the hall, the old man finally spoke to break the deadlock: "Huahua, this is a guest from out of town, stay at our house for one night tonight, by the way, where did you go just now." ”

The girl peeked at me again, although I didn't dare to look at her again, but I could sense that she was looking at me, and then, the girl smiled happily: "Oh, I just went to see if Xiaobao had enough food at night, by the way, add some to it." ”

After speaking, the girl walked slowly into the hall and asked in a sweet voice, "What is your name from out of town?" ”

I raised my head to look at the girl, only to see that her face was red again, but her demeanor was much more generous than just now, this time she did not avoid my gaze, but it made me even more embarrassed, I had never had a strange feeling that made me very awkward, I opened my mouth: "I ,,, my name is Chu Qi, you ,,。 ”

"Hee-hee~~" The girl suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, and said, "The seventh day of the first month, why is there still someone who calls such a strange name, by the way, my name is Zhang Xiaohua, this is my father and my mother." ”

My old face was hot for a while, and I didn't feel uncomfortable when I was often teased before, but at this time, I was laughed at by this girl named Zhang Xiaohua, and I only felt uncomfortable all over my body, and I always felt a little restless.

"Flowey." The old man's voice sank, and then he said, "Don't talk nonsense, it's strange what a name." ”

Zhang Xiaohua immediately pursed her lips when she heard this, as if she was angry with the elderly, I hurriedly smiled and said: "Uncle, don't be angry, my name is indeed a little strange, in fact, it was also called casually by the people in the village at the beginning, and I can't change it when I get used to it, hehe." ”

"Hee-hee." Zhang Xiaohua smiled, I didn't feel a little stunned, for some reason, she laughed in a very soft and beautiful voice, in short, it was very beautiful,,,

The old couple also laughed, and the old lady immediately said: "The seventh day of the first month, since you came to our Zhangjia Village and came to our old Zhang's house, don't be too restrained, sit there and rest, if you have eaten, or I will let Huahua get you something to eat." ”

It turns out that this is Zhangjia Village, and the family is also surnamed Zhang, I was warmed by the hospitality of the old Zhang family, but as soon as I entered the door, I was going to eat a little bit and couldn't open my mouth, I just wanted to say that I was not hungry, but I didn't know that my stomach sang the empty city plan without fighting, and Zhang Xiaohua on the side covered her mouth and snickered again, which made me blushy and lowered my head and didn't dare to speak anymore, and my fingers kept rubbing the wooden stool under my buttocks,

After a while, Zhang Xiaohua brought me a small frame, there were a few fragrant oil cakes in it, I swallowed my saliva violently, hurriedly thanked me, grabbed a piece of oil cake and devoured it, just ate a few big bites, swallowed it violently, how did I know that my throat was too dry, I choked all of a sudden, I sweated for a while, this guy was embarrassed and embarrassed, why did he choke at this time,,,

Maybe it was because I was straightening my neck and staring, Zhang Xiaohua on the side kept snickering, and finally laughed directly on the old lady's shoulder.

The old lady waved the cane in her hand and slapped Zhang Xiaohua lightly, and said angrily: "Stinky girl, you know to take food, you don't have water, why don't you go and get some water for Chu Qi to drink, it must have choked Chu Qi, Chu Qi, eat slowly, don't worry." ”

The old man also smiled bitterly, blaming Zhang Xiaohua for going to get water, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly put away her laughter, went to get water, and after a while came in with a bowl of water, and when she handed me the water, she snickered in a low voice: "Stupid,,。 ”

I threw away my old face at once, and poured two mouthfuls of water before I could smooth it out.

While eating, I listened to the conversation between the old couple on the side, and the old lady sighed lightly and said, "Huahua's father, why don't we take precautions tonight, you see that everyone in the village is ,,。 ”

Lao Zhang suddenly said with a slight anger: "Defense, what prevention, there are a few deaths in the village, and there are people guarding against it every day, but as a result, it's not a damn death or a life, alas, if you want me to say that there is nothing to be afraid of, those who should come will always come, and you can't hide." ”

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly continued: "Mother, I'm afraid that I will sleep with you tonight ,,, I'm still sleeping." ”

The old lady gently patted Zhang Xiaohua's shoulder and sighed lightly: "Don't be afraid, those things are looking for boys, you are the girl's family, there should be nothing wrong, just sleep with your mother tonight." ”

I frowned, couldn't help but put down the food in my hand, and said: "Uncle and aunt, what do you say to prevent ,,,, by the way, when I entered the village, why did I see a blood-stained kitchen knife hanging in front of the courtyard gate of every house, is there something wrong in Zhangjia Village?" ”

Lao Zhang sighed deeply, waved his hand and said: "The seventh day of the first month, you still don't know, so as not to get into trouble, go to bed early tonight, and leave here tomorrow morning." ”

At this time, I didn't show any more timidity, stood up and said: "Uncle, you forgot that I am a disciple of Maoshan, and this time I came to your village and was attracted by two corpses in the river outside, I feel a little strange, so come and see, if I can help, I will definitely help you solve this matter, you might as well talk about it." ”

Zhang Xiaohua came to me curiously, a faint smell of flowers came to my nose, my heart was confused again, I didn't dare to look at her more, but she said: "You are still a little Taoist, can you really help our village exorcise ghosts." ”

"Exorcism." I jerked my head up at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Your village is haunted. ”
