Lao Wu sat on the small bench in the room, put his hands on his knees, and looked at Liang's mother who was busy buying firewood in front of him with a gloomy face. The laugh is extremely weird.

It stands to reason that at that time, the whole country was underdeveloped, and the only places that could afford toothpaste were those big cities, and the rest of the places used the traditional tooth powder to maintain oral hygiene. But in the inland remote mountainous areas, let alone tooth powder, I don't know that I still have to brush my teeth, plus the food is not nutritious enough, and the pH of the local water is too high, it is impossible for a person of Liang's age to still have a full mouthful of teeth, not necessarily all of them are gone, at least more than half of them are missing. Lao Wu really hadn't paid much attention to some details of Liang's mother before, and she had to work hard, who had the heart to stare at this old lady. At this time, sitting in this low-level room with very poor lighting, looking at the back of Liang's mother, and the terrifying look she showed when she drank the soup just now, Lao Wu unconsciously trembled, why is this Liang's mother so weird today! Like an old ghost woman, and thinking of the pile of scattered thin bones at the door, Lao Wu suddenly felt that there might be a child boiling in the pot.

Lao Wu has always liked to scare himself, but this time he carefully observed this Liang Ma and found something that he hadn't paid attention to before. This Liang's mother's feet are very strange, not the kind of three-inch golden lotus that she usually sees, her feet should be said to have no surface of the foot and only the heel part remains, the small shoe is completely round on it, walking is very slow and unsteady, and the feeling of swaying is about to fall. There is also Liang's mother's black teeth. Lao Wu got close just now and saw that Liang's mother's teeth were not black, the black place was between her teeth, and when she spoke, she could smell a stench from the top of her nose, a bit like the smell of decay after the death of an animal.

This kind of characteristic makes Lao Wu can't help but think of a person, but he can't say that he is a person. This Liang's mother is very similar to the laughing woman who caught the child to eat on the night of July 25 in the county.

In Lao Wu's impression and understanding, the laughing woman should not be a person or say that it is not an evil, but hiding in Lushi County, those respectful rats use their eyes to confuse people, let people see the illusion of the old lady, that night he was strangled by the laughing woman to the neck struggle, and then somehow sobered up, only to find out that it was a group of big rats who were coming to kill him, and there were so many moths, so there was no laughing woman at all. But today, I hit the door of Liang's mother's house. I felt that something was wrong, and I always felt that something was going to happen, but after seeing those fine bones that had been eaten clean, Lao Wu realized that Liang's mother was not like an ordinary old lady.

Lao Wu swallowed his saliva, glanced sideways at the door, and then quickly turned his eyes to stare at Liang's mother's busy figure, and took several breaths to stabilize his emotions, and asked Liang's mother with a little trill: "Who sent you meat?" ”

Liang's mother was stuffing the loose balls picked up on the mountain into the hearth. Hearing Lao Wu's words, he paused, but then threw several loose balls in his hand into the hearth that spat tongues of fire. After a long time, he didn't turn around, slowly opened the lid of the pot, looked at the soup boiling inside, and said leisurely: "You ask, where did this meat come from?" Oops, this meat! It's delicious! I got it back from the county, Wu, you will eat more in a while! After Liang Ma finished speaking, she slowly turned her head, and suddenly smiled, revealing a mouth full of black teeth, and the expression could be described as a ghost smile.

Old Wu's legs trembled. His hands were tightly gripping his knees, the flesh on his face was stiff, he knew that his expression must be very timid at this time, but he couldn't show how natural it was, he couldn't suppress the fear in his heart. At the moment when Liang's mother turned her head and smiled, Lao Wu suddenly felt that the legend of the laughing woman circulating in the county town was not sure that it was the Liang mother in front of him at this time.

If you can still sit still at this time, then Lao Wu can be said to be not afraid of anything, to say that he is not any threat to Lao Wu with such an old lady, but if he commits a crime, he is a ghost or an evil person, and after the relationship is involved, then even if he is strong and bold, it is impossible not to be afraid.

Lao Wu turned his eyes to look at the half-open door, which was only about four or five steps away, and if he ran three steps, he could rush out. Lao Wu gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, and he was about to rush out with his legs raised, but as soon as he took the first step, his collar tightened, and he turned his eyes to look behind him, it turned out that Liang's mother grabbed his clothes with her backhand, but her face was still looking at the pot lid. The skin of that hand is waxy yellow, the skin is dry and wrinkled, and there are many brown old age spots on it, and the fingernails are particularly long and almost penetrate his clothes, don't look at this old lady's thin skinny, but just now it stopped Lao Wu who rushed in and was about to run out, and dragged Lao Wu back.

"Wu, where are you going? I haven't eaten yet, don't be in a hurry to go, wait a while and the pot will be boiled, don't worry"

Liang's mother's hoarse voice made people get goosebumps when they heard it, and Lao Wu felt that he was caught by Liang's mother, and he obviously entered the old ghost mother-in-law's house, and he wanted to leave alive. Seeing that the door was in front of him, the more Lao Wu thought about it, the more frightened he became, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up, he felt that there was no light behind him, and a hideous claw stretched out from the darkness to grab his clothes tightly, and dragged him inside. Lao Wu felt that he was about to shout out in horror at this time, but before he could make this sound, he heard Liang's mother laugh behind him, and asked him again: "Wu, why do you want to leave before you eat?" Do you think the soup made by Liang's mother is not delicious? ”

Lao Wu gasped in a panic, swallowed his saliva and explained a little stiffly: "Liang, Liang's mother, I, I still have something to do!" I just remembered it, and there's something else! It's late, I have to go, wait for the afternoon, my brother and I will come over to eat together, hey, yes! I'll have to ask them to come along, or I'll eat the meat myself, isn't that enough? ”

As a result, Liang's mother dragged him back, pressed him to the edge of the table and sat down, Lao Wu didn't dare to struggle, and kept staring at Liang's mother's hands with his eyes, for fear that she was holding something in her hand that could kill him. (To be continued......)
