The Five-Legged Toad_Chapter 98: The Thing in the Dates
I have a chill in my back, old woman, can you talk? Then why did she pretend to be deaf and dumb?
Looking at Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke hooked his thin lips and said, "Don't think too much, there must be a reason for everything." ”
It's not the first time I've heard such ambiguous words from Cheng Ke's mouth, so I had to pout and continue to look at the old woman's weird behavior: "Is this the so-called Gu raising?" Perhaps, this is just a custom, let's maintain a respectful attitude, right? ”
"It's hard to say." Cheng Ke Taohua's eyes narrowed and said: "Eating beef and chicken is also a human custom, and in this matter, cows and chickens, should they also maintain respect for customs?" ”
I was stunned all of a sudden, Cheng Ke looked at me and smiled shallowly: "So, no matter whether you respect it or not, the facts will not change." ”
As he spoke, he pulled me over and said in a low voice: "Don't look at it, I'll put you to sleep." ”
"I don't need you to coax me, I'm not a child anymore."
"So what's the matter?" Cheng Ke gently kissed me on the forehead: "I like to coax." ”
As if I had been gently scratched by a feather, my heart jumped, and I stepped back, but I was touching something slippery.
When I looked down, I saw my hand rubbing against the edge of the mat.
I furrowed my brows and lifted the mat, only to be taken aback to see that under the mat, there was a lot of black hair!
Cheng Ke had already seen it, and suddenly pulled my hand over: "Don't move, this is also a kind of Gu technique." ”
"This and this......" I stared at those jet-black and shiny hair, and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of Gu technique is this?" ”
"It should be a local pillow mat Gu in Xichuan." Cheng Ke said: "Pressing the virgin's hair under the pillow can make the people who sleep here reconcile and take an auspicious omen." ”
"Couple ......" I was a little puzzled: "How...... Doesn't the old woman live alone? Could it be that there is still an old husband? ”
"I don't see it now, but I can't say that I didn't see it before." Cheng Ke's beautiful eyes crossed the rain curtain outside and said, "The old woman has lived for so long, and she has probably experienced a lot of things you can't imagine." ”
I also followed Cheng Ke's line of sight, and the old woman was gone.
If you live in someone's house, don't worry about other people's affairs, I told myself, obviously I owe the old woman a favor, it's not right to be suspicious, besides, people in their own homes, what to do, it's not my turn to worry.
Luo Weilan was saved by the old woman! This favor hasn't been repaid yet.
Anyway, when Luo Weilan gets better, we will leave here, maybe in this life, there will be no time to see each other again.
Lay down again, but couldn't sleep, I wanted to go to the toilet, but I didn't dare to go, so I had to turn left and right in Cheng Ke's arms, I couldn't sleep steadily, Cheng Ke twisted Yingting's brows: "Get up, I'll accompany you." ”
"Eh......" my face turned red: "You ......"
As he spoke, Cheng Ke had already gotten up, got out of bed, reached out and scooped up my shoes from under the bed, and said, "Come here." ”
I stretched out my foot, Cheng Ke put it on me, took my hand, took an umbrella at the door of the hall and opened it, leaned in the direction where the rain line came, and blocked my side.
"Thank you......" I looked at the angle of the umbrella from the side, and my heart warmed.
"Alright." Cheng Ke said casually: "Wherever you want to go, I will accompany you." ”
This kind of one, I can't help but be happy.
The toilet of the old woman's house was built in a corner of the yard, the black hole was hollow, and she was a little panicked, Cheng Ke took a look at it and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll be waiting for you here." ”
I nodded and went in.
The toilet is built with the bathroom, so it is considered a suite, and after the bathroom, the door to the toilet is passed.
I was about to push it open, but I found a woman standing inside the door, looking at me with a blank face.
I stumbled backwards and nearly fell to the ground.
She is very young, she is in her twenties, although she is not very beautiful, but she is also delicate and lovely, and her slender figure is wearing a white light veil, which looks a little bit like not eating the fireworks of the world.
And the long hair, like the one pressed on the head of the bed, was shiny, but her face was miserable and white, and there was no blood at all.
I was stunned, who is this?
In addition to the old woman, there are other people living here? It's just that...... The old woman didn't say?
I hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know there was anyone inside." ”
The woman inside looked straight at me, but didn't answer me, and I guessed, who is this woman from the old woman? Granddaughter?
She slowly walked out of the bathroom.
I was embarrassed, so I couldn't help but say, "Excuse me, only the old woman lives in my house." ”
The woman just crouched quietly by the sink and washed her hands.
I wondered if I had disturbed her toilet and she was upset. Then he said tentatively: "Hello, my name is Lu Qiao, may I ask who you are......"
The woman ignored me, just stood up, I was a little confused, I didn't know where, something was not right.
When his eyes fell on the pool, he realized that there was no reflection of a woman on the water!
This surprise is not trivial, she is......
The woman raised her face and said with a little confusion: "You have gone wrong, this place is not for the living." ”
"You, you, you......" Before I could finish my sentence, the woman had already walked to the door.
Cheng Ke heard my voice and came in: "Are you okay?" ”
"Nope." I turned back to Cheng Ke and said, "Just now...... There are people in there...... You, saw the woman who went out, right? ”
"Woman......" Cheng Ke furrowed his brows, turned his head sideways and said, "What woman?" ”
Cheng Ke...... Don't see it?
Seeing that I was a little incoherent in horror, Cheng Ke lowered his head and looked at the pool: "What you saw here?" ”
I nodded hurriedly, and when I got closer, I saw that under the pool, there seemed to be something calm, green and forested.
It is a deep yin energy.
"Alright, let's go back." Cheng Ke said: "It's not strange. ”
"Haven't been to the toilet yet......"
Although it's a haunted toilet, although I've just seen a ghost, it's really not as good as a person with three urgencies.
When I came out of the toilet, I couldn't help but guess, what is the relationship between that woman and the old woman?
"Do you know what Gu is?" Cheng Ke walked and looked at me sideways.
"I heard that it was ninety-nine insects fighting together, and the last one to survive was the so-called Gu, which can harm people, isn't it?" I said.
"Gu, sometimes you can harm people, but sometimes, you can do some other things," Cheng Ke said, "For example, fulfill your own wishes." ”
"Fulfill your wish?" I said, "Hasn't Gu art always been called some kind of vicious sideways? ”
"It depends on what the person using the Gu thinks." Cheng Ke said: "It's like a knife, it can cut vegetables in the hands of a cook, but it can kill people in the hands of bandits." ”
"I understand, I understand." I hurriedly asked, "How can Gu Du harm people?" Is it to drill into people's hearts, and then make people like the iron fan princess who swallowed Sun Wukong? ”
"Some Gu can be planted on the body, and some Gu can grow in the heart." Cheng Ke said: "For example, the famous Heart Gu, in the past, when men in Xichuan went far away, they never dared to get close to other women, because before they left the house, they would always be under this kind of Gu by their wives.
Heart Gu stays in the human body, there is no other feeling, but once this man is in love with a woman other than his wife, Heart Gu will eat away at this person's heart, that feeling, comparable to all torture, is indescribably miserable, Gu worms and owners are in the same mind, once a man's heart changes, a woman, either let the Gu worm eat his heart, if the heart is soft and stop the Gu worm, then the Gu worm will back, eating the woman's own heart. ”
"So the owner has to take such a big risk?" I was stunned when I heard this: "This kind of thing is really terrifying. ”
"There's another one called the Evil Gu, and it's the same." Cheng Ke continued: "If someone has a grudge with someone and releases an evil Gu, they can lower the fortune of the other party's harm and ruin the family, but once there is such a beginning, the evil Gu will start again and again, and it will always harm people."
If the owner doesn't let the evil Gu harm others, he will be harmed - Gu art is a double-edged sword, which can hurt people or hurt himself. ”
In other words, once this thing starts, it can't end.
Cheng Ke smiled slightly and said, "Are you afraid?" ”
I replied, "Yes...... Nothing to be afraid of, it's just bugs......"
"It's a pity that I'm already dead," Cheng Ke suddenly said: "Otherwise, when it comes to Heart Gu, I also want you to raise it on me, so you can rest assured, if I like someone else, let Heart Gu eat me." ”
I looked at Cheng Ke's light and helpless clouds, and suddenly smiled: "That's right, in this way, I can rest assured." ”
However, if there is really such a day, I would probably rather have a heart Gu backlash than let them eat Cheng Ke.
Whoever he has in his heart, I have him in my heart.
"So," Cheng Ke sighed heavily: "It's a pity." ”
I pretended not to understand what he meant.
The night is deep, and the leaves of the jujube tree outside the window are still dripping with raindrops, ticking and ticking, inspiring people to sleep.
This voice can easily make people relaxed, I put all my thoughts behind, and I actually slept peacefully.
When I woke up again, my head was leaning on Cheng Ke's chest, my neck was a little uncomfortable, I got up and shook my neck, and found that the sun had passed through the jujube tree outside the window and shone on the earthen kang. ”
I nodded: "It seems that I haven't slept so peacefully for a long time, how is Luo Weilan?" ”
"I said a few words in my dream, as if I wanted to go home to my grandmother and eat the toon fish made by my grandmother." Cheng Ke smiled slightly: "It's a very simple wish." ”
"I hope it will help him make that happen." I looked at Luo Weilan, who was asleep, turned my head and said, "What about the old woman?" ”
"I'm not at home, I don't know where I'm going." Cheng Ke looked at the jujube trees and said, "Probably, I want to run for these jujube trees." ”
"Jujube trees?" I remembered the weird and chilling feeling I had when the old woman picked dates yesterday.
"Knock knock knock......" At this time, there was another knock at the door.
"Huh?" I immediately remembered yesterday's events and hurriedly got up from the bed: "Yesterday's person again?" ”
"Not necessarily." Cheng Ke stood up, took my hand, and walked into the courtyard: "Let's go and have a look." ”
"But the old woman is not at home, this door," I hesitated, "should I open it?" ”
"Click." Unexpectedly, we hadn't opened the door yet, but the door was pushed open by itself, and a timid voice said, "Excuse me...... Anyone? ”
A very young girl appeared in the doorway.
She was in her twenties, her figure was thin, and she didn't wear much, and she seemed to be shivering in the cold wind of the early sunshine, but the dust and frost on her face could not hide her beautiful face, and her spring-like eyes were shining in the sun, with a little restraint.
I suddenly wondered, as if I had seen her there.
When she saw us, she cautiously asked, "We are lost, and we only see that there seem to be people in this family, can we ...... Let's come in and have a drink, and if you can, a bite to eat, don't worry, we're going to have the money with us. ”
Get lost? I looked behind the girl, and I saw several young men of her age following her, all of them looking like dusty people, all with large bags and camera equipment.
"We're not from unknown sources." The girl hurriedly took out a business card, I took it and looked at it, only to see that it was written "Xichuan Travel Channel Walk All Over the Landscape Column Host: First Snow." ”
It dawned on me that I couldn't see her so familiar! I have also watched the program of Xichuan Travel Channel, and the girl in front of me is indeed the beautiful host: "Ah, I recognize it!" I've watched your show, and I'm still a fan of yours! ”
"That's great." The girl hurriedly smiled professionally and said, "So ......"
I hurriedly said: "I won't tell you, we are also guests here, the main family is not here now, there is no way to call the shots, so let's do it, I look at it, the main family is also a very enthusiastic person, probably will not refuse people thousands of miles away, you come in first to rest in the courtyard, there should be no problem." ”
When Chu Xue heard this, she couldn't hide her happy expression on her face, and hurriedly raised her feet and stepped into the threshold, bringing in the photographer and other staff behind her, and sat in front of me and Cheng Ke: "Thank you so much!" ”
I brought the tea, and she was very grateful, so I asked, "You are here to record the show?" ”
They drank the tea, people seemed to have a little spirit, Chu Xue introduced the situation, it turned out, they were going to record a special feature called "Wu Gu Xichuan", so they ran to the interior of this Xichuan, but just like my second grandfather said, the outside of Xichuan Mountain is a very modern town, but in Xichuan Mountain, there are still undeveloped poor mountains and bad water, very dangerous, as a result, the film crew got lost in a mountain col, went around a few times, and did not find the place on the map.
I originally wanted to rely on the current GPS positioning system, who knew that it rained yesterday, and the equipment was completely out of order, and they walked for nearly a night, only to come to such a populated place: "I don't know where this is, I am thinking of asking the locals to inquire about it!" By the way," she said, she asked curiously, "you are also guests here?" How did you get here? ”
I smiled bitterly, introduced myself, and said: "Our situation is not much better than yours, my friend had an accident on the road, and in order to save him, I also looked for him randomly, and I don't even know if this village is the one we are looking for." ”
"It's really the same person who has fallen to the end of the world!" Chu Xue sighed, looked at me and Cheng Ke, and asked, "When you come to such a deep mountain, have you also heard the legend of the witch Gu promoted by the Xichuan Travel Channel, and come to explore?" ”
"Legends?" I looked into Hatsuyuki's eyes and said, "I don't know what legend you're talking about?" ”
"Huh? You don't know? Chu Xue was rested, and began to talk about the same as what he saw on TV: "A few of us are here for that legend, I heard that here in Xichuan, there is a very magical Gu technique, which can bring the dead back to life and stay young forever, and, about the mysterious witchcraft Gu technique, the outside world does not know much, and it is said that this kind of witchcraft can not only save people, but also harm people, it is very magical, we just follow the meaning of the station, to do this program, want to promote the development of local tourism." ”
I nodded, and couldn't help but ask, "By the way...... When you came, how did you know there were people here? Didn't you see an old woman coming out of here? ”
"Nope!" Chu Xue said: "We didn't see the old woman, there was a black dog, as if psychic, snatched one of our signal boxes and ran, we chased, chased over, saw the box and put it at the door, then I wanted to say whether the black dog is a pet here, so I tried to knock on the door and came in." ”
"I see......" I immediately remembered that the old woman had driven away the knocker last night.
"You just said that there is a kind of witchcraft that can make people immortal?" Cheng Ke, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth: "I don't know, what kind of legend is it?" ”
Even if he was accustomed to seeing the first snow in the world, when he saw Cheng Ke, he couldn't help but be a little shaken, and reacted for a moment before saying: "This ......"
A man wearing a cap said: "This is a legend passed down from mouth to mouth in Xichuan, saying that in the hinterland of Xichuan, there is a village called Changsheng Town, and the reason why it got such a name is because the people who live here are familiar with a witchcraft called 'Changsheng', and can escape birth, old age, sickness and death, and stay young forever. ”
Cheng Ke's peach blossom eyes are still dark and heavy, without a trace of waves, I was stunned, immortality, immortality again!
If it really has this effect, could it be that Cheng Ke hid that legendary immortal life here before he lost his memory?
"But," said another photographer-looking person, "after all, this is just a legend, and no one has really entered that 'Immortal Town', isn't this legend even more ethereal!" I watched, just find a random family, interview some local witchcraft, if there really is such a thing in the world, so many powerful people will probably be squeezed in, and they don't have to die. ”
"Hahaha, that's what I said," the other staff also laughed: "If this legend is true, then Qin Shi Huang probably died too wronged, and he sent Xu Fu to Penglai Island, Xichuan has this kind of ability, and he is simply willing to seek the near and far." ”
Qin Shi Huang is so far away, I don't think about it, but when I mention "immortality", I think of the new Wei Qiancheng, Cheng Ke said, Wei Qiancheng is a real living person, not the same as Ah Jiu Xiaoyuan, it is the method of borrowing the corpse to return the soul, could it be, that Wei Qiancheng has something to do with the 'Changsheng Town'?
"But living here is really choking," the choreographer said: "There is no telephone, and there is no mobile phone signal, living here, can make people crazy, no wonder people have all moved out, looking for it, and only found such an empty village." ”
"That's right," the other staff also lamented: "I can't brush Weibo, I can't play WeChat, and my relatives and friends still think that we have evaporated from the world!" ”
"So, after the filming is over, hurry back and cheer up," Chu Xue said: "The selling point of this episode is still very sufficient, and the ratings go up, and it's worth it for all of us to work hard." ”
The staff nodded hurriedly and agreed.
Chu Xue then said to me, "I wonder when the main family will come back?" We wanted to ask him for directions. ”
I had to say, "I'm not sure, I should have gone out in the morning, it shouldn't be too long, right?" ”
"Just stop here and rest." "We'll wait," said several staff members. ”
"Hmm......" At this time, Luo Weilan in the house seemed to wake up, I quickly told them that I was sorry, and turned to the house to see Luo Weilan.
I saw that Luo Weilan finally opened his eyes now, he rubbed his eyes and asked me, "Lu Qiao, where is this?" ”
"You're awake!" I hurriedly said: "You only pointed half of the way, and we don't know where your home is, but we happened to see here, so we brought you here, but fortunately, you have a big life, and you met a very capable old woman, which saved you." ”
"Old woman?" Luo Weilan propped up his body with many wounds, and it hurt to grin his teeth, but he took a closer look at the wounds on his body and couldn't help but be happy again: "Oh, I didn't expect it, I really met a master, the Gu poison on my body is really clean!" ”
"That's good." I also became happy: "When the old woman comes, thank you well!" ”
"But ......" Luo Weilan hesitated for a moment and said, "The one who can treat this kind of Five Poison Gu can't be an ordinary family, it must be a great ghost cultivator or a witch Gu master, right?" You don't know each other well, how can you say that you will meet it? ”
"You're lucky you're still so suspicious." I said, "You're the only local, get up and see, where is this place, how do you go to your Luo family?" ”
Luo Weilan's injury is not yet good, he wants to get up, but he doesn't have the strength to get up, because if he struggles slightly, the wound that begins to heal will easily collapse, and it is completely painful.
I looked at that and hurriedly said, "Let's not hurry to leave, you take care of it first, the wound will heal better, it's not too late to see." ”
Luo Weilan had to nod, but her face was still full of curiosity: "You just said that the one who helped me detoxify is an old woman?" ”
"yes!" I described the appearance of the old woman, Luo Weilan thought about it, and couldn't think of a reason: "I don't know this ghost cultivator...... I don't remember the technique she used. ”
Luo Weilan's brain is simply a search engine for the information of the ghost cultivator, even he doesn't remember, it must be very mysterious, I said: "You take care of it first, and the old woman will talk about it when she comes." ”
Luo Weilan just nodded, and suddenly there was a scream from the group of them in the first snow outside: "Ah, what's going on!" ”
I heard the sound and ran out, only to see that the group of them was surrounding something, and they looked very shocked.
Seeing me come out, Chu Xue hurriedly said, "Look, what's going on?" ”
I leaned over to take a look, and I saw that they were staring at a date.
The dates here are very large, as big as ordinary winter dates, like small apples, green and red are very pleasing, it is estimated that someone is bored and picks one from the tree to try it.
I stretched my head over to take a look, and all of a sudden, I was stunned, only to see that the big jujube had tooth marks, as if it had been bitten open by someone, and it had been divided in half, but it should be the position of the jujube core...... It's actually the tip of a human finger!
The tip of that finger is the first joint at the tip of the finger, and there is a small nail on it!
"Oh my God...... On the dates, you can bear people's fingers...... "A staff member reacted relatively quickly, and quickly took out the instrument to shoot, but the choreographer blocked the staff member and said: "You shoot this thing, it will cause panic, do you know?" Fingers, what does it mean? It means a corpse shredding case! This kind of thing, whether it's true or not, how can it be broadcast on TV stations, just censorship, you can't get through! ”
"However, this is not a broken corpse, this is what grows out of the jujube tree!" A staff member said aggrievedly: "I opened it with my own hands." ”
"What about opening it yourself?" The choreographer said sharply: "In this kind of place, no matter how magical things appear, it is not magical, who made this the hometown of witches!" I advise you to be careful, if you touch other people's things, don't also get involved in something related to witchcraft. ”
"Boss ......" Chu Xue said: "The fact that human parts grow in dates is really rare to see, it should be a good gimmick." ”
"I just can't say no." The choreographer waved his hand and said: "Hurry up and throw things away, don't be seen by the master's family, there are so many taboos here, offend people, so that you can't eat and walk around, hurry up, bury the dates back, where do you come from, where do you go back!" ”
Several staff members had to pack up the dates quite aggrieved, dig a hole under the jujube tree, bury the flesh and stumps in it, imagine that as soon as the soil was moved, the staff suddenly screamed in horror, and there was a person, sitting on the ground, as if he had seen something terrifying!
