Sister-in-law Ruan and Lixiang were surprised at me almost in unison.

I was puzzled by their strong reaction, "What's wrong?" ”

"There were no cellars here." Sister-in-law Ruan's voice actually trembled.

"Didn't you have it before? I really don't know. "I think Sister-in-law Ruan and Lixiang's reaction is so strange, especially Sister-in-law Ruan, who will look at the bottom of the firewood room, and her eyes will flash with complex water colors. It was like crying, but no tears came out. I was puzzled by this.

"Sister Xiaohe, don't think we're strange, because ah, the most taboo thing in our village is to dig a cellar, the soil here is very loose, and it is easy to collapse if you dig a cellar, so throughout the ages, no one here has a cellar. We are all a little worried about you when we suddenly find out that your family has dug a cellar. Reika explained.

After hearing her words, I understood, and then I was a little scared, "So that's the case, it is estimated that Xuyun doesn't know this, and just wants to dig a cellar for a refrigerator." ”

"Have you ever gone down? Did you see ...... Did you see any silver jewelry chests? Sister-in-law Ruan withdrew her gaze from there and looked at me.

As she spoke, her eyes were sharp, and her hands were still clenched into fists, which made me feel oppressed.

"I'm claustrophobic and can't go down, so I don't know if there's a silver box you're looking for." I replied truthfully.

When Sister-in-law Ruan got my answer, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a surprised smile, "Sure enough, I knew that he wouldn't be so easy to ......."

"Ahem!"

Before Sister-in-law Ruan's words could be finished, she was interrupted by Lixiang's coughing. Immediately, she glanced at me vigilantly and changed the subject, "Sister Baihe, the silver jewelry box is very likely to be in the cellar, I want to find it." ”

"No way!" I hurriedly refused.

"Why not?" Sister-in-law Ruan frowned, squinted her eyes, and forced a glance at me.

At the same time, I also felt that Lixiang's gaze towards me had become wrong, and I couldn't help but look at her as well, and sure enough, I found that she was the same as Sister-in-law Ruan, and her gaze suddenly became unfriendly, as if she had changed someone.

I'm going to feel wrong, "Why are you looking at me like that?" I said no, because there was a poisonous snake in the pyre in the firewood room, and it had just crawled out this morning. I'm afraid you're going to ...... in the past."

Before I finished my words, I saw Sister-in-law Ruan suddenly turn around and walk towards the firewood room, I panicked, and was busy trying to pull her, but was stopped by Lixiang on the side, "Sister Xiaohe, Sister-in-law Ruan is not afraid of poisonous snakes, she used to go up the mountain to catch snakes and make wine for her deceased husband to drink." Don't worry, she'll be fine! ”

"No, what if she gets bitten? It is very likely that Xu Yun will have gone to the county seat, there is no doctor in the village, and no one will save her if she is bitten! I pushed Reika out of the way, and walked over there as I spoke.

Reika followed behind and persuaded me, "It's really okay, our women in the mountains, who is afraid of snakes!" ”

They didn't know how fierce the two snakes were, and I didn't dare to let them take the risk of them chasing me in the morning with the sight of them biting me.

However, before I could stop it, Sister-in-law Ruan's figure in a black national dress had already entered the firewood room, and I was so frightened that I stopped my steps, held my breath, and looked over there in horror.

Because the firewood room is breathable, there is no door, so I can see through the door here.

I saw that after Ruan's sister-in-law entered, a few firewood drops inside, and then the sound of a snake spitting out a letter came from the pyre. Seeing this, Sister-in-law Ruan hurriedly withdrew from the firewood room, and then I thought she would run to us in fright, but I didn't expect that she took out an egg-sized black charcoal-like thing from the waist pocket in front of the national skirt, pinched off a little and sprinkled it on the instep of her embroidered cloth shoes. Suddenly, a vicious fishy smell came down her side, and I couldn't help but cover my nose and retch.

"What the hell, it stinks!" I covered my nose and asked Reika on the side.

Lixiang replied lightly, "It's the snake king's stool, and generally poisonous snakes will take the initiative to get out of the way when they smell this smell." ”

No wonder it stinks!

I immediately admired Sister-in-law Ruan, she could put such a stinky thing on her body, why didn't I smell it just now? But does this thing really work? I'm a little skeptical.

As soon as Sister-in-law Ruan spilled the feces of the snake king, the two snakes came out of the firewood room, but what I never expected was that as soon as they stretched out their heads and spat out letters to Sister-in-law Ruan, they were electrocuted as if they had to turn around and swish back!

"I didn't expect it to work! Go back, sister-in-law Ruan, you stay a little, I can get rid of these snakes. "I was shocked by this scene, I knew that there was such a good way, and Xuyun didn't have to go so hard to catch them.

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Ruan patted the dirt on her hands and said something strange to me, "If you do this, it will make Dr. Zhao angry." ”

"No, he's always wanted to get rid of these two snakes, but they're just too cunning, and he keeps missing." I retorted for Xuyun.

She probably thinks Xuyun has a strange temper, and I will make him angry if I drive the snake away.

When Sister-in-law Ruan heard this, she glanced at me with complicated eyes, but she didn't say anything again, and walked to the firewood room.

There's no snake threat now, so I can't stop her from going in. What if the silver chest happens to be in the cellar?

It's just that if the silver jewelry box is really in the cellar, doesn't it mean that Xu Yun deliberately didn't give it to her? Wouldn't that make them think that Xuyun was greedy for money? As far as I know, Xuyun and I are not short of money. It's impossible to covet other people's silver jewelry.

"I'm going to help too." Lixiang saw that Ruan's sister-in-law had been in for a while, so she also walked over.

Because I have claustrophobia, I didn't dare to follow, just stood at the entrance of the backyard a few meters away from the firewood house, watching them.

After the two of them entered the firewood room one after the other, they squatted down in the middle and muttered a few words, and Sister-in-law Ruan picked up a firewood stick to pry the wooden door of the cellar. I wondered why she didn't pull the wooden door of the cellar and pry it with a stick.

This made me curious and took two more steps forward, trying to see more clearly. Actually, I was also curious about this cellar.

At this time, Sister-in-law Ruan had already put the stick into the side crack of the wooden door, and then slowly pried open a crack......

"Bang, bang~!"

Suddenly, an accident happened, and only a few slight knocks on the door were heard, and a swarm of black moths flew out of it. Frightened, Ruan's sister-in-law shook her hand, and the stick fell into the cellar, and at the same time, she and Lixiang were both entangled in black moths, and the two of them shouted "help" around them; He reached out to drive the moths outside.

It's also strange to say that the moths that were pestering them to fly, after running out of the door with them, after the sun broke, their bodies actually caught fire, and they fell to the ground one after another into ashes!

I was stunned when I saw this. What kind of moths are they, and why do they catch fire and burn out at the sight of sunlight?

At this time, Ruan's sister-in-law and Lixiang saw the black moths falling on fire, and they also stopped waving their hands to drive them away, and looked down at the ashes left by the moths on the ground. Their different faces showed the same look of horror.

"This is the fire butterfly......" After a while, Sister-in-law Ruan squatted down and picked up a branch and scratched the ashes on the ground, and suddenly tears welled up in her eyes, "Only he can raise it, but if it was really raised by him, why did he release it and drive us away?" ”

What is she talking about? Which he?

When Lixiang heard this, she immediately cried excitedly, "Yes, there is only a fire butterfly raised by Brother Qing, and where there is a fire butterfly, he must be there...... I'm going to save ...... Uh......"

As she spoke, she turned to run into the firewood room, but she didn't wait to run in. Suddenly, her body was planted, and she actually fell to the ground with a pop!

"Reika!" Seeing this, Sister-in-law Ruan shouted in horror.

"What's going on?!" I was also startled, and immediately rushed over to help her up, but just as I raised my foot and was about to run over, I felt my arm tighten, and a familiar cold male voice suddenly came from behind, "Don't touch her, she is stained with poison moth powder." ”

Hearing this sound, my breath staggered in fright, and my heart skipped a beat!

It's Xuyun! How did he get back? Didn't you tell me in the hospital hall that you wouldn't go home for dinner at noon and night? It's clear that I won't go home for the time being, and I'm going to the county seat!
