Five-legged Toad_Chapter 97: Wind and Snow Moon
Cheng Ke and I are guests, out of courtesy, there is no reason to open the door on behalf of the host, hearing this voice, I hurriedly stood up, got up and went into the house to find the old woman to open the door.
When I entered the house, I saw that it was gloomy and damp, the ground was still a rare mud floor, and when I looked up, I could directly see the beams of the house, and there was no furniture in the house, only a clay kang covered with straw mats, and a few broken chairs with missing arms and legs.
There were three rooms in the inner room, and the hall was empty, so I looked around, and saw a crack in a cupboard, so I walked over, and it didn't matter if I didn't look at it, I saw the old woman's rickety body nesting in the cupboard, with her back to me, and her whole face buried in the palm of her hand, not knowing what she was doing.
Odd...... How did you get into the cupboard?
I hurried over, touched the old woman's shoulder, and said, "Mother-in-law, there is a knock on the door!" ”
As a result, under my touch, the old woman's body shook as if she was frightened, and subconsciously turned around, and I immediately widened my eyes, only to see the old woman, whose mouth was full of red blood!
The blood was dripping from the corner of the old woman's drooping mouth, and it looked terrifying!
I couldn't help but take a step back, and then I saw the old woman's hand, as if she was still holding something, but the old woman quickly covered the thing in her hand, wiped her mouth, and her face suddenly became very bad.
I made up my mind, quickly apologized, and pointed outside, gesturing and knocking on the door.
The old woman slowly stood up, pointed to her mouth with her hand, and waved her hand.
What does that mean? Is it for me not to tell you about it? Still is...... She asked me not to take her food to heart?
No matter what it means, the old woman saved Luo Weilan's life, and took us here, without asking the bottom of the matter, it is also due respect, I quickly nodded, indicating that I understood, the old woman wiped her hands and face, hid the thing she was holding in her hand just now, and went out slowly.
This taste...... That's right, it's the familiar bloody gas.
I looked at the ground carefully, and saw that there was also a little dried blood on the ground.
She, what did she eat?
Everyone, everyone has their privacy, I thought about it, decided that it would be better not to meddle in things, and it was really undesirable to stay alone in the master bedroom to look around, so I picked up my feet and followed the old woman out.
At this time, the sound of knocking on the door continued, and it was a rhythmic, drum-like sound, as if the people outside the door were knocking for pleasure.
Cheng Ke's dark peach blossom eyes swept across the door and cast them on my face, with an expression that looked like a lively one.
Cheng Ke, what did he see?
At this time, Luo Weilan suddenly moved slowly, I hurried over, and the old woman went to open the door at this time, and spit out some broken sounds outside the door, listening to that attitude, as if she was driving people away.
Moreover, the voice became louder and louder, as if the people outside had some excessive demands, and the old woman was very unhappy to refuse, and it began to feel like an argument.
I looked up to take a look, but Cheng Ke's cold and slender hand grabbed me and shook his head. Yu Guang swept through the door, but saw a black slimy thing clinging to the ground, and slashed over, looking at it, a bit like a black dog running over.
The old woman closed the door again, her face looked a little complicated, and she gestured for a long time, which meant that we should not take the outside things to heart.
There's no way a dog knocks on the door.
I nodded hurriedly to show that I understood.
Looking at Luo Weilan, it turned out that he just snorted like a dream just now, and he didn't really wake up, I touched Luo Weilan's skin that was not covered with those ointments, and felt that the temperature was similar to mine, there should be no fever or anything like that, and it would probably be cured soon.
When I was just relieved, I don't know where, a mouse came over, shook his head and tail on the jujube tree, squeaked and gnawed on the bark of the jujube tree, and after a while, the mouse suddenly "banged" and fell directly from the jujube tree!
Huh? I was a little surprised, and the old woman came over and pointed at the jujube tree, which should mean that the mouse was on the jujube tree, damn it.
Then, he took a broom and a dustpan and took the mouse away.
Through the hazy moonlight, I could see that this mouse was a little thin.
It's like I've never eaten in a long time, and although my whole body is slender, it's very shriveled.
Weird...... Why are the rats here malnourished like this?
Moreover, it can be seen that the rat is also like the wall root of every house, with a small circle of green yin qi.
I became suspicious, this mouse, is it possible, the death is related to the jujube tree.
Before I had time to think about it, the moonlight was already shrouded in clouds, and with a gust of cold wind, ticking, it was actually going to rain!
In the past few days when I came to Nishikawa, it seems that I have been passing through all kinds of rainy days.
Since it was raining, of course, Luo Weilan couldn't be allowed to lie outside, and the old woman also made a gesture for us to carry Luo Weilan into the house.
I wanted to help, but Cheng Ke shook his head and said in a low voice: "You remember, if I can do it, I won't let you do it." ”
The simple words were like a heavy promise, and they fell on my heart all at once.
After entering the house, the old woman led Cheng Ke into the guest room, and after settling Luo Weilan, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier.
The old woman held up an umbrella and went out to collect things.
"This rainy season, it seems that I can't get by, maybe it really alarmed the five-legged toad god." I sighed: "The shopkeeper said that in the past, it never rained in the autumn of Xichuan. ”
Cheng Ke glanced at me and said thoughtfully: "That shopkeeper said a few words of nonsense, you really believe it." ”
"I can't afford to joke, I take anything I say seriously."
"I know," Cheng Ke said, "Fortunately, I never like to joke. ”
I sat next to Luo Weilan, looked at Luo Weilan's sleeping face, laughed dryly, found a random topic, and said, "Actually...... Luo Weilan really looks a little like you, such a nose, such eyes......"
"Even if it's like ...... There is only one me in the world. Cheng Ke looked at me, peach blossom eyes scorching: "There is only one you." ”
I remembered many things, but I didn't know what to say, so I nodded first: "You're right. ”
"Actually, some words, some speculations, it's better to say them." Cheng Ke put my hand in the palm of his hand and said in a deep voice: "Isn't it?" ”
"I don't have any guesses." I quickly said, "I've been satisfied all the way. ”
"Whatever you ......" Cheng Ke stretched out his hand and took me in his cold arms: "However, if you have something on your mind, I will feel distressed." ”
I knew what he meant, resting his head on his heartless chest, and I wanted to cry for some reason.
The longer it goes, the more he doesn't want to let go, he is like a swamp, and if he falls into it, he can't get out.
"That immortal ......" I pursed my lips: "What kind of strange thing is it, if there is no such thing in the world, wouldn't it be better......"
"Changsheng will always find it," Cheng Ke said: "When the time comes, where will I go back to seal, I only listen to you, I still want to take you back to the restaurant in Xuanyin Land to eat the noodles with roses at the bottom of the bowl." ”
I remembered that bowl of noodles...... It seems that the rose that has only appeared once indicates that I am Cheng Ke, but Cheng Ke is not necessarily mine.
Calamus...... Who are you?
The sound of rain outside reminded me of the day when the rain hit the hydrangeas, can I still lean with Cheng Ke like this and listen to a few more night rains?
One more, one more, the smell of sandalwood lingers faintly on the tip of the nose, his arms are the most stable place in the world, I can be surrounded by him, I'm already very happy, isn't it?
Cheng Ke's perfectly shaped chin rested on my head, and said softly: "Not only the rain, not only the stars, I can also show you all the wind and snow you want to see - as long as you want." ”
"Okay." I smiled, "It's all good." ”
I do, how could I not want to? As long as the person you want to accompany in your heart is really me.
At some point, I leaned into his arms and fell asleep.
In a daze, I felt that something very soft was pressed against my lips, and I tasted it, as if I was afraid of disturbing me.
This feeling is cool and fragrant.
I didn't open my eyes.
So be it, so be it......
But in my sleep, I suddenly heard a "click...... The sound of "click......" came.
I opened my eyes and looked outside, only to see the old woman standing in the courtyard in the rain, picking dates?
Cheng Ke didn't sleep, just watched quietly behind the windowsill, turned his head to see me, and frowned: "Woke you up?" ”
I rubbed my eyes and said, "It's fine." ”
I also climbed up the windowsill.
After picking the dates, she took out a small box, dug up the soil under the jujube tree, and buried the contents of the small box under the roots of the tree like fertilization.
My eyes, now looking at things in the night, are actually very bright, it is really an indescribable feeling, I can see clearly, the old woman's box is the one that contains the eggs in Luo Weilan's body during the day.
Then, the old woman removed a stone under the jujube tree, and under the stone, there was a small jar hidden, and the old woman was pouring all the basket of dates into the small jar, and muttered, "I am hungry...... I'm hungry ......."
