Chapter 72: A Strange Dream, in Front of the Widow's Door
Seeing the look of the second elder, needless to say, he knew that there must be some clues, and the county magistrate couldn't help but ask the second elder: "Second father-in-law and second mother-in-law, you also had strange dreams?" ”
The second prince's face changed from kind to serious, and his voice trembled a little and said: "Xianling, Xiaolong, don't care so much, hurry up and eat, there are all kinds of strange things in the mountains, we have been used to it for decades, you are still young, don't ask so much." ”
The more the second prince said this, the more doubts I and the county order became, what is going on? actually made the second prince taboo not to say it, but I couldn't help it if he didn't say it, so I had to change the topic and ask seemingly casually: "Second prince, have anyone else come to travel recently?" ”
The second duke said while eating breakfast: "An old man came a month ago, and left a week ago, and then it seems that someone came, but he didn't come to the village, so we don't know." ”
"Oh." I guess that old man is He Ye, I didn't ask much, and said, "By the way, Second Prince, when I knocked on the door just now, why were you still watching at the door for a long time?" Didn't it open at once before? "Although I haven't seen my relationship with my second father-in-law for many years, I don't feel that it has faded, so I directly expressed the doubts in my heart.
I saw that the prefectural magistrate was eating with his head down, but apparently he was more focused on listening to me.
"It's not because of that weird ......" The second woman took my words, but before she could say anything, she paused, and the second husband gave her a blank look, and she buried her head in eating.
The second prince took her words and said: "It's not because of a stranger who came to our village, and the people in the village opened the door for him, but he held a powder gun in his hand and robbed the family that opened the door for him, so he has to be cautious." ”
I and the county order are not stupid, most of the words of the second prince are false, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if it is true, then it can't all be because of this, because the second woman just said that she leaked her mouth, I think what she wants to say is: It's not because of that monster.
Or it's not a monster.,Anyway, it must be something that makes the second elder more taboo.,I'm not good to ask directly.,It's impossible to tell the second elder that I'm specialized in ghost hunting, right? Don't say whether they believe in ghosts and gods, even if they believe this, they definitely don't believe that me and the county commander can catch ghosts.
Since the second father-in-law and the second mother-in-law didn't want to say more, then I didn't force it, the county magistrate looked at me a little anxiously, and I signaled him not to worry, eat with peace of mind.
During the meal, the second father and mother asked about the situation of my father and mother, except that my father was also coming to the village, I told the truth, because I always felt that my father's special task and my purpose of coming to my hometown this time had an intersection.
After eating, I told my second father-in-law to take the county order out to play for a while, and my second father-in-law told us to go home early for lunch, we agreed, took my backpack and went out.
"Ciao, what are you doing with a bag, why didn't you ask a little more just now?" As soon as I went out, the county order asked me.
I said, "Don't worry, I have my own way." ”
"What's the solution, don't sell it, hurry up." The prefectural order urged.
"It's not a sale." I said, "I'm not sure if I'm going to do it yet, just follow me." ”
I pulled the county order, turned around seven times, and soon came to the door of a brick house, but this brick house is not a courtyard, it looks like there are only two rooms.
The county magistrate was puzzled: "This is?" ”
"This is a widow's home, the widow's name is Li Jiuying, it seems that she didn't move out, she began to be widowed at the age of thirty, before the people in the village were rumored to be a poisonous snake, the words that came out of her mouth were generally more ugly, but the accuracy rate was very high." I answered the doubts of the county order, "She knows the big and small things in the village, and she still has a weakness, that is, she can't keep secrets, as long as she thinks you are good, she will say everything." ”
I continued: "So if the second father-in-law didn't say it just now, I'm not in a hurry, as long as this Granny Li is still there, then I will definitely be able to ask why." ”
"Yes." The prefectural magistrate said, "Then knock on the door quickly." ”
I squeezed out a smile and knocked on the door vigorously, and it didn't take long for me to feel someone watching us behind the door, and an old woman's voice came from inside: "Who's ......?"
"Granny Li, I'm Huang Xiaolong, I came to see you, do you remember me?" I tried to put my face in the crack in the door, trying for her to see clearly.
"Little Dragon?! You're back! Granny Li hurriedly opened the door and said with a happy face, "It's really a little dragon, it's so tall, come in quickly." ”
I pointed to the county order and said, "Granny Li, this is my classmate, named Chen Xianling, who came back with me this time." ”
Granny Li said, "Ouch, welcome, welcome, don't stand at the door, come in quickly." "Granny Li was wearing a girdle, and the girdle was full of bamboo silk, and I looked over and saw that there were some bamboo chips in the room, and it seemed that she was weaving something out of bamboo.
"Granny Li is still working." Led by her, the prefectural commander and I walked to the hall where she was weaving.
"Yes, I'm going to make a basket to dry things in." Granny Li said with a smile.
After sitting down, I glanced at the county magistrate, and the magistrate immediately pretended to be strange and said, "By the way, Xiaolong, I forgot to tell you in the morning, I had a strange dream last night, and I dreamed of a big snake, which scared me to death." ”
When the county magistrate spoke, I observed Granny Li's face, and sure enough, I saw that her face trembled slightly, and I hurriedly replied to the county magistrate: "Is it? Me too, I dreamed of a lot of small cobras except for a big snake. ”
"Ahh The county magistrate pretended to be surprised and said, "I also dreamed of it." ”
I saw that Granny Li wanted to speak and stopped, and knew that the heat was almost over, so I stopped the county order and said, "Let's go back and talk about it later, it's really strange." ”
Then I took out two hundred yuan from my pocket, walked up to Granny Li and said, "Granny Li, I came in a bit of a hurry this time, I didn't buy anything, of the two hundred yuan, one hundred of which my parents asked me to give you, and one hundred of which I bought for you." ”
Granny Li hurriedly excused herself: "How embarrassing is this, no, no, Xiaolong, you are still studying, how can I ask for your money." ”
I pushed the money hard to her, and finally put it directly into her belly pocket around her waist, and then Granny Li stopped prevaricating and said, "Then thank you, Xiaolong." ”
The county magistrate also took out a hundred yuan from his pocket, and he shirked it again, but in the end, Granny Li couldn't push it, so she accepted it.
After Granny Li accepted it, we sat on the bench and chatted about the parents, without saying anything about dreams, Granny Li asked about my parents and my studies, and asked about the new things in the city. The county magistrate and I talked to her and chatted casually.
After chatting for about half an hour, the county commander and I got up to say goodbye, and I saw a somewhat depressed look on the county commander's face, which must have been because he didn't ask anything.
I looked behind me, a smile on my lips, and Granny Li was frowning at our backs.
"Little Dragon, Ancestral Spirit, you wait!"
In the end, Granny Li couldn't hold back after all, and stopped me and the county order.
