Xiaohu's words made us all take a deep breath.

The old woman called "Xiao Jiu'er", if it was really Wang Cuihua, who had been going to the mountain for seven or eight years in Xiaohu's mouth, then things would have become strange.

What is it that can turn a young woman who is only twenty-five or sixteen years old into an old woman in her sixties?

Chu Xiaotu asked in disbelief, "Are you too young at the time to remember wrong?" ”

Xiaohu pointed to his head and said seriously: "I practiced at the age of three, and at the age of five, I was able to recite the Poison Gu Sutra that my grandfather called me, there are more than 10,000 words, and I memorize it backwards, do you think I will remember it wrong?" ”

I stretched out my hand to stop Chu Xiaotu and said, "You keep talking." ”

Xiaohu took a deep breath, and then said: "Whether it is Wang Cuihua back then, or Cai Yueniang now, when they entered the mountain, they were all confused, as if they had lost their souls, but different, it is now that Wang Cuihua no longer has lost her soul, and it seems that she is still very sober, the only thing that is wrong is that she suddenly aged for decades, directly from youth to old age." ”

He took a deep breath: "What happened here, I'm afraid it involves the biggest secret in this village." ”

I nodded, yes, it's weird here, and it's very unusual, you see, the men in this village are very abnormal.

Chu Xiaotu also agreed: "Yes, whether it is your friend Ma Yiao, or the men who planted rice in the field, or the old man who knelt on the ground when he saw the old woman, they are all the same, very abnormal." ”

Xiaohu said: "And their names, have you noticed?" Ah Da, Wu Ah San, Yang Lao Qi, and the names they gave your friends......"

My eyes narrowed, and I said coldly: "Since Ma Laojiu picked it up, why do you know that his surname is Ma?" ”

Chu Xiaotu said that judging from their naming principles, there should be only nine men in this village.

I'm right, not only that, but these nine men are all responsible for the most important labor work, and they are doing all the dirty work, and if this is the case, what are those women doing?

Speaking of which, I have some headaches.

If these old women are all fallen flower cave girls, then why is the situation here the opposite of the outside world?

The girls in the Falling Flower Cave, who are obviously depressed and have mental problems, are all in good spirits, and they are still walking like flying in their seventies and eighties.

And the rest of the men are stupid, busy all day, but not tired.

This situation is really weird.

Xiaohu looked at me and said Hou Mo, whether Yueniang can be saved, get out of the state of losing her soul and leaving safely, it depends on whether we can discover the secrets of this village. You said you were going to help me, right?

I nodded firmly, and said of course, a gentleman's promise is worth a thousand dollars.

Xiaohu was a little excited, and said I don't want Yueniang to become like those old withered skins, old and ugly, you promise me, no matter what happens, you won't let her become like that, okay?

I reached over and grabbed his shoulder, which had been trembling.

I know that this young man, no matter how mature and sophisticated he is, but in his heart, he is still a child who has never experienced anything after all.

I have to give him enough confidence.

So I pressed his shoulder and said seriously: "Xiaohu, I promise you that as long as I live, I will stick to my promise." Not only her, but I also have to take my friend Ma Yiao out, and I am not a fool, I have to return to the original appearance, this point, I use my personality, to assure you. ”

Hearing my deep voice and firm eyes, Xiaohu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to me: "What did the old woman say just now that she lost her soul, and the matter of three souls and seven spirits is all an excuse. ”

I nodded and said that I knew that the so-called three souls and seven spirits were too illusory and inconclusive.

Xiaohu said again: "We are here, we have to be very careful I just used the method of hope and qi taught by my grandfather to look at this group of people, every old woman is a very powerful cultivation master, and the most powerful is the big woman who has been talking to you, her breath is so strong that it almost condenses into a clump." If you get serious, none of the three of us is her opponent. ”

I looked at him and asked seriously, "Really?" ”

Xiaohu nodded, and said that it is true, not only that, but those iron-eating beasts are also domesticated, with a certain IQ and personality, if these beasts are allowed to come out at that time, it will be difficult for us to escape.

His words not only frightened me, but also made Chu Xiaotu's face turn pale for a while.

She bit her cherry mouth, glared at me viciously, and then said, "Didn't we say that we went to Parting Island to find Wong Tai Sin, how did you come to this ghost place?" ”

I smiled bitterly and said that only Ma Yiao knew about the parting island, so I would come here to look for him, who would have thought that it would become like this?

Chu Xiaotu subconsciously glanced at the mountain scenery outside the window, and then said, "Then, we are running now, is it too late?" ”

I didn't speak, but Xiaohu replied: "No, you run inside, it's a dead mess with the village, and no matter whether the old woman said that the ghost hit the wall is true or not, whether she is lying to us or not, but it is definitely very dangerous and if you want to leave, out of the black wind ditch, it is also difficult, after all, when we came, we relied on Yueniang to lead the way, so the road was calm, but if you want to go out, I'm afraid it will be difficult......"

As he said that, a word popped into my mind.

Longtan Tiger's Den.

In fact, in addition to what Xiaohu said, I also saw a lot of things wrong, and I even suspected that this so-called Dugui Village was actually the village of Tu Lane back then.

Because in the middle of it, I always feel a trace of coldness, and this breath is not like the elegance between silk and bamboo.

It's dead air.

Of course, this is just a gut feeling on my part, and there is no concrete evidence to back it up.

A few people were whispering here, when suddenly there was footsteps in the hallway of the door, and we hurriedly closed our mouths, and turned back to see an old woman a little younger, but fifty or sixty years old, walking in.

When she saw that we were all looking at her, she blushed a little and lowered her head.

She said, "The eldest sister asked me to come over and tell you that the banquet is almost ready, so come with me." ”

I estimated the time, and was a little surprised, saying so fast?

The old woman said, "It's not fast, a lot of things are ready-made, give me the command, and you can fire at once." And you guys can go over and have some tea first. ”

I hesitated a little and glanced at Xiaohu, he hurriedly shook his head, saying that I was not going, I was too tired.

I saw him leaning towards Yueniang's side, and knew that he couldn't rest assured that Yueniang, afraid that after we left, these old women would take Yueniang, who was also a girl in the Falling Flower Cave, away.

But if we take Yueniang to the banquet, we will inevitably be questioned again, and it will be difficult to justify ourselves.

I thought for a moment, and then said to the old woman, "My little brother is not feeling well, so I'll go with you, and when I turn back, I'll bring him some food." ”

The old woman glanced up at Xiaohu, hurriedly lowered her head again, and said, "Okay." ”

She turned around and walked out, I followed behind, gesturing at Xiaohu, and Chu Xiaotu followed me.

I knew that this was a Hongmen banquet, and I didn't want Chu Xiaotu to follow me, so I glared at her.

I motioned for her to stay with Xiaohu.

However, Chu Xiaotu reached over, grabbed my arm, and then pretended not to see it, and said happily: "Okay, I finally have something to eat, and I am really hungry at the end of this day......

I saw that she insisted on this, and I was a little helpless, so I had to follow her out the door.

The old woman who came to call her was a little shy, and only walked with her head down.

We walked behind, Chu Xiaotu deliberately pulled farther away, and then whispered in my ear: "Grandma taught me some ways to recognize poison and identify Gu, I will follow you, lest you drug people at the banquet and become your friend's nerd If it is really like that, we will all be saved." ”

I didn't say anything more, just nodded earnestly at her.

Then I whispered, "Thank you." ”

Chu Xiaotu raised his head, couldn't help but smile and said, "Hmph, look at your virtue." ”

The big lady's dwelling, not far from the guest room, walked for two or three minutes, and walked along the stone road to the end.

Her dwelling here is taller than the other wooden buildings, with three floors, and the wooden boards are painted with tung oil varnish, which looks very luxurious.

I introduced the house and found that the structure here is very different from an ordinary stilted building, but similar to the scene in a costume TV series.

Elegant and sophisticated.

After passing through the hall, I came to the quiet room of the left wing, and found that the furnishings here were very simple, with a wooden coffee table and futon in the middle.

There is a screen in the corner not far away, on which is painted an ancient warrior with three heads and six arms, there seems to be horns on his head, and under his crotch is a giant panda with a fierce face.

The eldest lady waited inside, and after Chu Xiaotu and I sat down, she made tea for us, and a complete set of tea art was smooth, which made people look very comfortable.

When I was drinking tea, I just had a brief chat, and after a while, someone came over and said, "The meal is ready." ”

The eldest lady asked people to remove the tea set, put the dishes, chopsticks and wine glasses, and then waved his hand, and walked in, it was Ma Yiao.

He came to serve the food, holding the plate and not squinting.

When he put down the plate, the eldest woman remembered something and said to him, "Don't be busy, these are all your friends, sit down and eat together?" ”

Ma Yiao said with a smile: "I have eaten the food cooked by Wu Asan in the kitchen, it is fragrant, hehe, hehe......"

He put down the plate covered by the metal dome and turned to leave.

The big lady stretched out her hand, put it on the metal cover, and then said with a smile: "Poor and remote, there is nothing delicious, but the things are quite distinctive, such as this squeak, dipped in our home-brewed soy sauce, the taste is particularly delicious......
