After the description of the proprietress , the three of us all had a strong interest in this old Uncle Wan.

After eating and drinking, we asked the proprietress if there was a hotel or something like a place to stay in the village, and the proprietress laughed, "As long as you go to the village and pay a little money, you will be able to take care of it, anyway, most of the people in the village are old people, and they are happy to have young people as companions!" ”

After getting the words of the proprietress, we walked towards Uncle Wan's house with confidence, thinking that since we wanted to inquire about things, it was better to take the opportunity to live at Uncle Wan's house, first, to get closer, and second, to ask what we wanted to know.

At that time, our situation was extremely embarrassing, and we were in a hurry to find the water before the soul, so we could only bet that this method would work and that once it didn't work, we had to hurry up and think of another way.

The boss lady said before, this small village is not big, there are only about 100 households in total, the location of Uncle Wan's house is probably located at the outermost edge of the village, and the nearest household to his house is about dozens of meters, his family stands alone in front of the village, there is a strange sense of loneliness.

We soon arrived in front of Uncle Wan's house.

It's all this age, Uncle Wan's house is still the kind of old-fashioned adobe house, the outside is white, the roof is still tiled, the house is not big, everywhere shows a sense of decay, and there are even several shocking cracks on the wall, which makes people suspect that this house may collapse in the next moment.

The courtyard wall of Uncle Wan's house is very low, about the height of our chest, so as long as we stand outside, we can have an unobstructed view of their yard: the yard is full of flowers and plants, and there is a small vegetable patch, which looks lush and green, adding a bit of vitality to this dilapidated yard.

An old man was lying on a wicker chair in front of the courtyard with his eyes closed, seemingly leisurely.

This old man should be Uncle Wan.

The three of us glanced at each other, stepped forward together, and greeted Uncle Wan politely, "Uncle, we are here to play, and we want to spend the night at night, can we succeed?" ”

After finishing speaking, Uncle Wan, who was lying on the rattan chair, slowly opened his eyes and straightened up slightly, only then did we see that Uncle Wan had white hair, his face was full of wrinkles, and he did not look old, only there was a scar at the corner of his right eye, which looked a little hideous, especially when he was looking at a person seriously, it would make people feel very uncomfortable.

He straightened up and looked at us, then lay down again, not saying a word.

I thought he was getting old, so I raised my voice again and repeated what I had just said, much more earnest than the first, after all, we might have asked him.

This time, he straightened up, stared at us coldly with a pair of eyes for a moment, whispered a word, and then stood up, and walked back into the house without looking back, leaving only the three of us looking at each other, not knowing what had just offended him.

No wonder the proprietress said that Uncle Wan is different from other old people, we can't find any kindness and gentleness that an old man should have from him, but feel that this person has a strange and gloomy atmosphere all over his body, which makes people look very uncomfortable.

Just when we didn't know what to do next, Shi Xiaonan pushed me with his hand, pointed to the house not far away, and whispered, "Is that person over there calling us?" ”

The cold man and I turned our heads to look, and sure enough, we saw an old man standing in the house not far away, waving at us, as if to signal us to pass. The three of us looked at each other for a moment, thinking that we would not be able to leave tonight anyway, and that we had to find a place to stay, and since the old man was looking for us, we should also find a place to stay, and then make plans.

Soon, we arrived at the house closest to Uncle Wan's house, and the old man quickly let us into the courtyard and asked us in a low voice, "Are you strangers?" If you want to stay, our family can do it, don't provoke Uncle Wan. ”

This old man looked to be sixty or seventy years old, but he was in good spirits, and his face was unusually serious when he said this.

"Uncle, we are strangers, we just arrived in the village to have some food, the proprietress said that we can spend the night at the villager's house, we will touch the nearest house, so we will ask...... What's the matter, we don't live in vain, why can't that old Uncle Wan be provoked? "I half-truthfully told why we went to Uncle Wan's house, and pretended to be curious and asked him why.

The old man did not speak, beckoned his wife to make us tea, and led us into the house.

If it were usual, we would definitely think that he would deliberately say not to provoke Uncle Wan in order to steal business, but when we saw Uncle Wan with our own eyes just now, we inexplicably felt that this old man didn't mean that at all, he just didn't want us to provoke.

We quickly put Uncle Wan aside and talked to the old man, most of the people in this village are surnamed Wan, and this old man is naturally surnamed Wan, we will call it Wan Bo for the time being.

Wan Bo talked to us for a long time, we have a good impression of him, this Wan Bo don't look at the age, but know what to ask and what not to ask, probably talked to us about the customs of the small villages, and picked up some interesting things to say, we also listened to it with relish.

But there is only one point, we inquired about Uncle Wan several times, and he prevaricated, and the question was too direct, so Uncle Wan said, "Don't ask more." ”

After several times, this old Uncle Wan became more and more mysterious in our eyes.

Wan Bo asked us what we were doing in Xiaogezhuang, we could only lie that someone in the family was sick, and all kinds of medical advice and medicine could not be cured.

"Water before the soul?" After hearing this, Wan Bo frowned tightly and thought for a long time, then shook his head, "I've never heard of this thing. ”

We were all disappointed, I thought about it and flattered: "The reason why we came to Xiaogezhuang is that we heard that most of Xiaogezhuang have a long life, and the old people have a lot of experience in the world, and they have heard a lot...... He's only in his early twenties this year, and he hasn't even married a daughter-in-law......"

I said these words very emotionally, and it was originally intended to impress Wan Bo, but Wan Bo just shook his head and sighed, "In this way, you guys stay first, and wait for me to ask the other old people in the village." You're right, there are many old people in Xiaogezhuang, maybe someone has really heard of it. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Uncle Wan's wife, who was storing water for us, looked up at Uncle Wan, "Why don't you let them ask Uncle Wan?" I heard that Uncle Wan encountered strange cases when he was a soldier, and all he encountered were gods and ghosts......"

As soon as she said this, Wan Bo was anxious, slapped the table and said, "What do the ladies know, don't talk nonsense, go cook, the guests want to eat." ”

Boss Wan Bo was usually very submissive when he saw it, and when Wan Bo interrupted us so rudely, she just looked at us embarrassed and turned her head to cook.

We glanced at each other, and we all knew that something might come out of Wan Bo's wife's mouth, Shi Xiaonan stood up very well-behaved, and said to Wan Bo with a smile, "Wan Bo, I'll help my aunt wash the vegetables, we're embarrassed to sit and eat like this." ”

Wan Bo immediately stood up to be polite, and I had a tacit understanding with the cold man and stood up and pressed Wan Bo's shoulder, "Wan Bo, let her help, let's just talk." ”

Wan Bo gave in and didn't say anything more, he shouldn't be so protective of us.

At dinner, we didn't mention Uncle Wan again, and during the meal, we were also happy, and there was nothing unpleasant.

After eating, Shi Xiaonan came to our room, closed the door mysteriously, I quickly greeted her, and asked her in a low voice, "Xiaonan, have you heard anything?" ”

"I inquired, I just didn't know what to say." Shi Xiaonan cautiously closed the door, glanced around vigilantly, lowered his voice to the lowest, and blushed a little, "That, about Uncle Wan, was told to me by Boss Wan." ”

I exchanged glances with the cold man, and I asked Shi Xiaonan curiously, "What did you say, what should you say and what should you not say?" ”

Shi Xiaonan saw that both of us were looking at her, her little face turned even redder, and she hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Just now Uncle Wan told me that Uncle Wan has a bad reputation in the village, and he has had that with many women in the village......

In the end, Shi Xiaonan's little face was as red as a red apple, very cute.

"You mean, Uncle Wan has a leg with the women in the village?" Compared to Shi Xiaonan, it was easier for me to say these words, and when I heard the news, my eyes widened directly.

Shi Xiaonan blushed and didn't dare to look at me, so she nodded shyly.

I frowned, looked at the cold man next to me, and asked in a low voice, "Did Uncle Wan do this when he was young?" So Wan Bo can't look down on him and won't let us mention him? It's not like ah, if that's really the case, then Uncle Wan should be contemptuous when he mentions him, how can he feel secretive? ”

Shi Xiaonan shook his head, "No, I heard Uncle Wan's wife say, it is also now, the women in the village go to his house at night and don't come out until morning." And I've heard that everyone in the village knows it, and everyone knows it...... By the way, Uncle Wan's wife said that Uncle Wan does know something about ghosts and gods, if we ask him, it should be right. ”

I unconsciously stood up, walked to the window, and looked out.

Uncle Wan's house is far away from Uncle Wan, and our house just allows us to see Uncle Wan's house, compared to other houses in the village, his house does look shabby, but it is mysterious.

"I'm going to visit Uncle Wan's house, and you're waiting for me here." After seeing Uncle Wan's house, a thought suddenly popped up in my mind, "If we can get close to this Uncle Wan sooner, we may be able to find a way to save Xiaolong sooner." If he can't help, let's think of something else. ”

This time, the cold man unexpectedly wanted to go with me.
