Chapter (7) Weird Huangquan Village (II)
Ah Mao's hand kept rubbing the corners of his clothes, as if he didn't know what to say, he was quiet for a long time, as if he suddenly remembered something, he slapped his forehead suddenly, and said in a panic, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, guests, you must be tired all the way, Ah Mao will take you to the room to see." ”
Ghost Venerable got up, nodded, and said, "Okay." ”
Ah Mao's somewhat thin little body walked in front, leading some of the ghost venerable people to the backyard, which was roughly the same structure as the courtyard, and an unknown tree was planted in the courtyard, which was very luxuriant, and there was a strange and quiet atmosphere, except for the sound of their footsteps, there was no other sound in the village.
Ah Mao went to open a few locked doors one by one, and the layout inside was almost the same, except for a kang, a bed, a table and two chairs, there was nothing else, it was very simple.
After looking at the four rooms, Ghost Zun and Yan Nianqing lived in the room in the center of the backyard, the one on the left was for the two of them, the one on the outside of the right was for the two of them, and the one on the right was for the black slave in the middle.
Ghost Zun and Yan Nianqing lived on the chairs in that room, and the rest of the people looked for a place to sit or stand, Ah Mao looked at this formation a little cramped and uneasy, probably because the room was not big, as soon as a few people came in, the room was just full, Ghost Zun seemed to have just remembered, his eyes were slightly dark, and he asked with a smile, "Why is there only one child in this huge inn who guards your adults?" ”
Ah Mao's body shook obviously, he lowered his head, and said as if he was a little sad, "The people in the village have gone out to harvest rice, I am not in good health, they don't allow me to go, let me stay here alone, waiting for them to come back at night." ”
Even the others, except for the ghost venerable, listened to this, and couldn't help but be shocked, they walked to the village from a few miles outside the village, and there was not even a living creature outside the village, Ah Mao didn't seem to notice that everyone's expressions had changed a little, he choked up a little and continued, "Every time it's like this, they're all like this, and I'm never allowed to follow," said, Ah Mao looked at the ghost venerable with a little expectation and said, "Brother, do you say I look very weak?" ”
"Why don't they let me go, and leave me here alone!" Ah Mao lowered his head a little uncontrollably and said.
Ghost Venerable stepped forward, Yan Nianqing subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab Ghost Venerable's sleeve, but he still held back, his mother must have his own reasons for doing this, he can't make trouble.
Ghost Zun half-squatted in front of Ah Mao, stretched out his hand to take him into his arms, and comforted him softly, "Your parents must be doing this for your own good, don't be too sad, they are also worried about you." ”
Ah Mao suddenly cried out suddenly, hugged the ghost zun, howled and cried, and stopped after a long time, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, smiled brightly, and showed two tiger teeth, "Brother, thank you, I'm much better." ”
Onizun smiled and rubbed his hair, "Well, it's okay to cry." ”
Ah Mao stuck out his tongue embarrassedly with red eyes, he looked at the weather outside, scratched his head and said, "It's okay, it's almost time to eat, and it's going to be noon in a while, and if you don't cook, you won't have a chance." ”
Ghost Venerable glanced back at the black slave, the black slave nodded, knowing in his heart, Ghost Venerable pointed at the black slave and said, "Just let that brother help you cook together, okay?" ”
Mao nodded, and the black slave went out with Mao.
He swallowed his saliva wordlessly, and just listened to the child's crying, he felt panicked, although he was also a person who came out of the pile of dead, but the two feelings were completely different, "Lord, this village ......" is very problematic.
Before he finished speaking, Ghost Venerable answered, "Well, this village is indeed very interesting, and that child is even more interesting. ”
Yu looked at the ghost venerable helplessly, the lord had spoken, it seemed that they had to stay in this village for a while.
Wei touched his chin and pondered, and suddenly he pointed to the door and exclaimed, "Lord, look outside, how can it be?" "It's been a good day just now, and now it's already starting to be a little white fog outside, and the white fog is getting thicker, and it's about to reach the room.
A red light flashed, the doors and windows were closed in an instant, and Wei gradually frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Lord, just now I heard that child say that it will be noon in a while, and if you don't cook, you won't have a chance......
No chance, referring to this weird white mist? Wei was a little worried, "Lord, that slave brother ...... him."
Ghost Zun chuckled, waved his hand, and said indifferently, "You are not from the mortal world, besides, the black slave is mine, if it is broken in this small village, what is the use of me asking for him?" Ghost Venerable said, his tone becoming colder and colder.
When the people in the room heard this, they didn't say anything more.
After nearly half an hour, there was no news outside, neither the black slave nor Ah Mao came back, the ghost venerable waited quietly, Yan Nianqing too, but the rest of the people seemed a little impatient.
Ghost Venerable suddenly turned his head sideways and asked, "Nian'er, are you afraid?" ”
When Yan Nianqing heard this, he replied expressionlessly, "Mother, I'm not a three-year-old child, besides, you are here, what do I have to be afraid of." ”
Ghost Zun chuckled, his glasses narrowed slightly, rubbed Yan Nianqing's hair, and messed up Yan Nianqing's hair a little before he stopped and said with a smile, "Nian'er, what you said is very reasonable." ”
When the people in the room heard this, their hearts were a little relieved, too, there was no normal person in their room, and they were afraid that there would be no other demons and monsters, and a voice suddenly sounded outside the door, gradually approaching their location, "The weather is dry, be careful of the candle." ”
Ghost Zun raised his eyebrows, in this broad daylight, in the empty village, there are actually people who play the watch, which is a bit interesting, after the person who played the watch, there was a burst of gongs and drums, and then continued, "The sky is dry and dry, be careful of the fire candle." ”
The sound of the watchmen and the sound of the gongs and drums faded away, and it was not long before the sound of children's laughter was heard again, the sound was crisp and ethereal, very beautiful, as if it were closer, and it was clear what they were smiling innocently and reading.
"Huangquan Village above Huangquan,
When the white fog rises, the dead return.
The gong sounded now,
Children are greedy for fun and reciting ghost songs.
Read it once, throw one person away,
There are no villages left.
There are no big or small villages left......
Haha, there's nothing left!! ”
The child's innocent laughter slowly faded away with the strange ghost ballad, and the room couldn't be quieter.
Read it again, lose someone? It's a little interesting, Ghost Zun thought, what kind of ghost rumor just now, it seems that he only read it once, which means that the black slave can't come back? This Huangquan Village is really interesting.
Wei couldn't help frowning, Bo Xi heard the sound, his face became more and more pale, almost no strength, all leaning on Wei Wei's body, Wei subconsciously hugged the person in his arms, the two looked at each other, clenched each other's hands, and interlocked their fingers, they all had a hunch that something would definitely happen to them in this Huangquan Village, no matter what happened, they had to face it together.
I don't know how long it took, there was a knock on the door, the door was opened, and Ah Mao came in cautiously with three bowls of steaming noodles. ”
Ah Mao was startled by this sound, and the things in his hand were almost thrown out, but fortunately he was caught by Yan Nianqing, who put three bowls of shallot soup egg flower noodles and chopsticks on the table one by one, and returned the wooden plate containing the things to Ah Mao.
Ah Maoben's somewhat red and swollen eyes instantly turned a little red, he shook his hand, took the wooden plate, and said in a trembling voice, "Just now, there was some white fog, I, I saw that the fog was getting bigger and bigger, so I wanted to tell the big brother next to me to hurry up, who knew that as soon as I turned around, I didn't see him." ”
"I remembered some strange sounds outside, I was scared alone, so I quickly hid in the kitchen, and when there was no sound outside, I dared to start making something for the guests to eat, yes, I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" Ah Mao rubbed the corners of his coarse cloth and blamed himself.
Ghost Venerable shook his head, and his gentle voice revealed a little cold air that was not obvious, "I don't blame you, it's that brother who is too useless, how many bowls did you make in total?" Three bowls of noodles are not enough for us to eat! ”
Ah Mao raised his head and smiled when he heard this, "Guests can rest assured, Ah Mao has done it, and Ah Mao will go and get it immediately." So saying, Amausa ran out.
Wei was a little anxious and said, "Lord! ”
Ghost Venerable didn't look back and said in a deep voice, "What's the panic, this is just the beginning, the other party is prepared, you are so uncontrollable, don't you fall into the other party's trap, the black slave cultivation is the highest among you, you have to worry, or worry about yourself." ”
Wei gritted his teeth and didn't say anything more, Bo Xi looked at him suspiciously, patted Wei on the back, smiled comfortingly, and Wei hugged Bo Xi tighter.
Outside, the sky gradually darkened, and almost at the moment when the sun had completely set, the candles in their room suddenly lit up, and the originally quiet village suddenly became noisy.
As soon as Ah Mao brought the rest of the noodles into the room, he heard the voice of a middle-aged man outside, "Ah Mao, Dad and Mom are back!" The man said, accompanied by a woman's helpless laughter, Ah Mao ran towards the place where the sound came from, and soon, the people in the room saw a couple holding their children, laughing and harmoniously reuniting as a family.
Ghost Venerable was also a little surprised, but he didn't expect these "people" to really come back.
The man seemed to have just seen them, and complained a little, "Why didn't Ah Mao say that he had a guest?" As he spoke, the man ran over, scratched his head, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, the harvest has been good recently, and the people in our village are busy with the harvest, and we don't have time to entertain you, I'm really sorry!" ”
Ghost Venerable smiled indifferently, pointed at Ah Mao and said, "It's okay, your child is very well entertained." ”
The man glanced back at Ah Mao helplessly, and then said, "Guests, what else do you need, say it, and we can go and prepare." ”
The ghost venerable looked at the man in front of him quietly, his face was ruddy, his breath was stable, and he was no different from ordinary people, this is really strange, there is no one within a radius of several miles, these people suddenly appeared out of thin air like this?
Ghost Venerable thought to himself, and a thought flashed through his mind, indeed, it is indeed the only way to explain it.
Hearing this, Ghost Venerable shook his head, "There's nothing you need, dare to ask if there's anything good going on in this village?" Why is it so lively outside? ”
The man looked happy and replied, "Isn't this a good harvest, the people in the village are thinking of holding an autumn harvest festival, everyone will go out together these few nights to celebrate, our village people are very easy-going, if a few guests are interested, they might as well go and participate." ”
Onizun nodded, "We'll definitely get involved tomorrow night." ”
As soon as the ghost venerable said this, the man said very sensitively, "That's nothing, I'll go out first, and a few guests will have a good rest." The man said as he closed the door.
The man went out and hugged Ah Mao and sat on his shoulder, saying, "My son is awesome, if you want to buy something, Dad will take you there!" ”
Ah Mao cheered, "Dad is the best!" ”
The woman next to her sighed helplessly, "Could it be that my mother is not good to you?" ”
Ah Mao immediately changed his words when he heard this, "No, no, my father and mother are the best!" ”
The man smiled, "What's the matter, Madame is jealous?" ”
Woman, "The devil eats your jealousy!" ”
……
The voices of the family faded away, and the cries and laughter on the street were endless.
In the room, Ghost Venerable's hand knocked on the table again and again, "You all go back to the room to rest, and we will explore it again tomorrow night." ”
When Wei Wei and Bo Xi heard this, they went out one after another, and Yan Nianqing's face finally showed a little sadness, "Mother, this village is so weird, I'm afraid ......"
Ghost Venerable turned his head sideways and looked at Yan Nianqing for a long time, before he touched Yan Nianqing's head and said, "Nian'er, I believe that my mother has made arrangements for my mother." ”
The sound of the street continued until late at night, the candles in the house slowly went out, and everyone ushered in the dawn with different emotions.
