Chapter 8: Montagonous Resentment
From the cave to the mountain village, even if you hurry up and hurry, it will take half a day, and when Xi Cheng returned to the mountain village, it was already evening, that is, the evening of the second day of the three-day cycle of the world.
Under the old locust tree in front of the village, seven or eight old people are smoking hookah while holding a fan to fan mosquitoes, very leisurely chattering at will.
Several of the old men saw Xi Cheng who had returned, waved their hands to Xi Cheng with a smile, and shouted:
"Alas, where did you go at night?"
"Go and take a look in the field, hehe." Xi Cheng greeted these old men in the way recorded in his memory, and then, with a smile, entered the village and went straight to his house.
At home, Dong Min was burning a fire behind the stove, and when he saw Xi Cheng coming back, he added a few handfuls of grass to the stove and walked in front of Xi Cheng, first picked up a hair duster and patted it lightly on Xi Cheng's body, which was regarded as patting off the dust on his body.
Xi Cheng opened his hand and watched Dong Min patting the dust on his body very naturally, and some emotions suddenly rose in his heart, and at the same time, there were also some questions, that is, is Dong Min a person from the world world of this mountain village or a newcomer to join the reincarnation team?
"Where did you go during the day, I haven't seen you all day, and I won't come back for lunch, do you know Lu Dao, if you don't come back, I'll call Kaizi and ask him to come out with his wolf dog to find you." Dong Min pouted slightly.
It seemed that it was the habit caused by the "memory", and Xi Cheng habitually stretched out his hand. Hugged Dong Min into his arms.
However, now Xicheng has woken up, and there is still a big difference from the pure mountain village peasant before. At least there is a little more heroism and tenderness when hugging people, especially the strength of the palms and arms, which is just right, which can not only bring a sense of security to the woman in her arms but also not make the other party uncomfortable because of excessive force. A woman's heart is naturally extremely delicate, especially in the face of the man she loves deeply, she is even more sensitive, and she seems to have noticed the difference in Xicheng today. Dong Min raised his head and looked into Xi Cheng's eyes.
Xi Cheng gently pushed Dong Min away at this time, "I'm hungry." β
Dong Min laughed and snorted. "The meal will be ready right away, wait a little longer." As he spoke, he sat back down behind the stove. Dong Min felt that there seemed to be something more in Xi Cheng's eyes, and it became very profound.
β¦β¦
Noon on the third day. Villageββ
"Yo-heh. Kaiwazi, have you gained something again today? The old branch secretary smiled and patted Gu Yuekai's shoulder.
Gu Yuekai also smiled honestly, pointed to a wolf dog at his feet and said, "Old branch secretary, isn't it all the credit of my wolf dog?" This roe deer is lucky, and it happened to meet this wolf dog of mine, and it was only the share of being caught, by the way, the old branch secretary. Come to my house tonight and drink two sips with roe deer meat. It's fresh. β
Gu Yuekai remembered that the old branch secretary was very good to him since he was a child, so he also treated the old branch secretary as his own parents, and if there was anything good, he would not forget to honor the old branch secretary.
"Okay, I'll take the villagers to the back mountain to see the medicinal herbs first, and I'll go to you at night, hehe." The old branch secretary smiled heartily.
"Okay."
At noon on the third day, the old branch secretary took a large number of villagers to go to the back slope to check the growth of the medicinal herbs planted, and happened to meet Gu Yuekai who came back from hunting outside, Gu Yuekai invited the old branch secretary to his house at night to drink wine and eat roe deer meat, and the old branch secretary agreed with a smile.
Saying goodbye to the old branch secretary, Gu Yuekai walked into the village with a roe deer, first passed by Wu Ji's house, looked at the lifelike paper figures in the courtyard of Wu Ji's house, and the wolf dog under Gu Yuekai's feet made a gesture of preparing to attack.
"Don't be stupid, that's fake." Gu Yuekai lightly kicked the wolf dog under his feet, he didn't understand that the wolf dog was obviously a very spiritual animal, why was he stupid at this time to tie these things with paper.
The wolf dog was lightly kicked by his master, glanced at Gu Yuekai aggrievedly, and then whimpered a few times and obediently retreated behind Gu Yuekai.
"Damn, how do you feel that the turtle son of the old Wu family is getting more and more powerful, and he is piercing like a real person, and he can actually scare me in broad daylight." Gu Yuekai couldn't help but mutter.
Then, Gu Yuekai passed by Xu Fan's house again.
"I said Fanzi, you are a Taoist scholar, how can you chant the scriptures every day like a monk, do Taoist priests also recite the scriptures?"
"Oh, I said Fanzi, you can take me with you when you go out to do things in the future, I don't have your ability to fool people, but I can help you get started, I don't have any other requirements, just count on following you out of Lu to rub a sip of good wine and good food, what do you say, hahaha."
Xu Fan had to raise his head again and glanced at Gu Yuekai, probably because he was really helpless against him, and went straight into his house.
Seeing that others were being squeezed back to the house by themselves, Gu Yue Kaiha smiled, touched his chin, and walked away with the roe deer step by step.
After walking for a while, I saw a half-open courtyard, in which a girl dressed in plain clothes was combing her old mother's hair, and the girl was very careful to comb it, as if she was afraid of breaking one of her old mother's hair.
"Yo, dancing girl, comb your wife's hair, tsk, I'll just say, dancing girl is virtuous, who can get dancing girl to be an aunt in the future, it's a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation."
At this time, Yao Wu Lao Niang stretched out her finger and pointed at Gu Yuekai outside the fence and scolded with a smile:
"You kid, you don't have a proper shape all day long."
On the side, Yao Wu, who was combing her mother's hair, listened to Gu Yuekai's ridicule, her face was slightly red, and she lowered her head.
"Dancing girl, wait, brother, I hunted a roe deer today, and I'll send you a piece of meat later."
Gu Yuekai arrived home, he kicked open the door of his yard with his big smirk, turned around, and saw that the man in the family next door to his house also happened to come back with two loads of water, Gu Yuekai greeted with a smile:
"Brother Cheng, I'm coming back from carrying water, Brother Cheng, sister-in-law, brother, I have good luck today, I hunted a roe deer, and I came to my brother's house at night to drink wine and eat meat, and the old branch secretary also came at night." Gu Yuekai invited Xi Cheng.
"It's good." Xi Cheng agreed very simply, and at the same time, he reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"I'm tired of picking up so many trips to the water." Dong Min took a handkerchief to wipe Xi Cheng's sweat.
"Not tired." Xi Cheng smiled and gently hugged Dong Min's waist, and said with a smile: "You don't have to stare at those needlework all day long, it's not good for your eyes." β
"Got it." Dong Min retreated from Xi Cheng's arms, after all, this is a courtyard, the rural people have thin faces and simple atmospheres, even if the two husbands and wives do this kind of intimate behavior in broad daylight, they will be gossiped about.
But at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and for a while, the rain was pouring and the wind was blowing.
It didn't take long for the villagers who had gone to the back of the village to follow the old branch secretary to see the medicinal herbs one after another, and everyone had a strong panicked look in their eyes, and they all closed the door tightly after returning home.
"What's going on?" Dong Min frowned slightly and asked her husband.
"I don't know." Xi Cheng shook his head, "It's raining, let's go back to the house first." β
"No, I have to go and help Brother Kaizi clean up the roe deer meat, his man is careless, and he can't do this class." Dong Min picked up the scissors and kitchen knives at home, but was grabbed by Xi Cheng when he was about to walk out of the house.
"Huh?" Dong Min looked at Xi Cheng with some surprise.
"I'll go with you." Xi Cheng said.
Dong Min glanced at Xi Cheng with some puzzlement, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go together." β
After speaking, the "husband and wife" walked into Gu Yuekai's house together.
Gu Yuekai still had the roe deer at the entrance of the house, and when he saw Xi Cheng and Dong Min coming, he slapped his palms and said: "Ha Luha, it's really good that Brother Cheng and my sister-in-law came to help me clean up this meat, I just gave my family a bath first, and now he has made a meritorious service, and he has chased a few miles for this roe deer." β
"You, don't think about talking about your daughter-in-law, just live with your dog." Dong Min joked with a smile.
"Come on, sister-in-law, don't say it, I really have this idea."
Looking at this scene, Xi Cheng smiled slightly, squatted down, and began to pick up roe deer with Dong Min.
First of all, the roe deer skin has to be carefully cut off, and the complete roe deer skin can be sold at a good price in the leather store in the town.
It stands to reason that Xi Cheng is Zhilu Dao, this is the third day, after this day, everything will return to the first day, and even he knows that this is a world in a mountain village, and he is already an outsider after he wakes up, but he still instinctively integrates himself into it, because he wants to know Lu Dao, who or what is it on the third day, triggering this cycle.
The existence of anything has a reason and a starting point, and this infinite reincarnation realm is naturally like this.
In the evening, a figure appeared at the entrance of the village, and the shabby tunic on his body became a strip of cloth at this time, and there were several bloody cuts on his face, and one of the shoes under his feet was lost, which looked so embarrassing, and his whole face seemed to be hidden in the dark, which made people unable to see it really.
One of the children was naughty, ran out to play, saw the man standing at the entrance of the village, pointed at him and shouted:
"The old branch secretary is back!"
The old branch secretary limped to the door of Gu Yuekai's house alone, because he remembered that he had made an appointment with Gu Yuekai to come to his house tonight to drink wine and eat meat.
And at this time, Xi Cheng just raised his head and met the gaze of the old branch secretary, even if Xi Cheng did not summon back his strength, but the perennial killing and fighting made him have an intuition beyond ordinary people, and from the old branch secretary, Xi Cheng felt a surging monstrous resentment!
Is he the trigger of reincarnation? (To be continued......)
