Chapter 18: Night Owl Laughs
By heart, neither Zhuang Li nor I said anything.
After going down the mountain, before the agreed time, Lao Xu Touer squatted at the foot of the mountain and waited for the three donkeys to jump.
You can see that he is in a heavy mood.
Zhuang Li and I didn't walk over, but sat next to us.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and I was exposed by Zhuang Li, and I now seemed to be stripped naked in an instant.
I don't know if it's weak or embarrassed, but I don't dare to look at her squarely.
In the end, I couldn't help but take the initiative and said with a hippie smile: "Reacquaint, my name is Wu Changshou." ”
Zhuang Li glanced at me and didn't say anything.
But it doesn't seem to exclude me.
It's just that to my surprise, then she actually took the initiative to ask, "Are you going to Nantou Village?" ”
"You too?"
Zhuang Li nodded without hesitation and said, "I also have the curse of the Wu family." ”
In addition to our Wu family, is there anyone else who has the same curse as us?
This old man hasn't told me yet.
"Your grandfather's generation, there was a curse at the beginning, but there were three people at that time, one of them was the ancestor of the Zhuang family, and the other was the ancestor of the Lin family, and this curse has not escaped these three families, but whether it is male or female, as long as it is the next generation, this curse will be continued."
Wu family, Zhuang family, Lin family?
It turned out that I was not the only one facing such a curse, and I felt a little more relaxed.
At least you don't need to fight alone, you can be regarded as having a companion.
I couldn't help it, I smiled, and Zhuang Li immediately looked at me with surprised eyes.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back, I'm happy because I know I have a companion."
Zhuang Li ignored me, but continued, "The Wu family is the leader, and at that time, you Wu family was the most capable, but now it's ......."
Zhuang Li glanced at me with something in her words.
"I know I can't do it, I've never been interested in this since I was a child, and if I didn't want to live a few more days, I wouldn't want to be in this circle now." I said unabashedly.
Zhuang Li shook her head and said, "Where you know, I also know, I believe that the junior of the Lin family also knows, it's just that he hasn't shown up yet, but the time is almost up, maybe I can meet him in Nantou Village, it's a man, about the same age as us, called Lin Yi, and he is also very capable." ”
Zhuang Li deliberately raised the volume of the last half of the sentence, obviously speaking to me.
Pouting, I picked up a stone and threw it out.
I didn't talk to her again, and when the three donkeys came, we went back to town.
Old Xu Touer didn't say a word all the way, and when he got home, he went into the house by himself.
But when I saw him enter the next room, he lay down on the kang alone.
The old lady followed us.
Mrs. Xu didn't dare to ask anything, and when we walked out of the gate, I saw her hurriedly walking into the room where Old Xu was lying.
Back at the hotel, the girl woke up.
But I'm not crazy, it's quiet, but I'm still stupid to watch.
It was dark, and Zhuang Li came out of the house.
After a few words of explanation to the old lady, he left in a hurry.
I just looked at the old lady and nodded, and followed.
Zhuang Li was carrying a backpack, but her backpack was much larger than mine, and it was full.
It seems to be thin, but I didn't expect the strength to be so great.
As soon as we walked out of this alley, we saw three donkeys parked on the side of the road.
It was the person who took us to the foot of the mountain during the day, and when he saw us coming out, he immediately greeted us, "Old man Xu has explained, let me pull you over." ”
Zhuang Li and I looked at each other and sat down.
The man didn't ask anything, but pulled us to the bottom of the hill and said, "Are you waiting?" ”
I immediately looked at Zhuang Li.
"No, come pick us up tomorrow morning."
The man nodded and rode away on three donkeys.
I muttered in a low voice, "This old man is probably a person who has seen the world before." ”
"Let's go." Zhuang Li didn't reply to me, signaled and walked to the way up the mountain.
In the dead of night, even though it was just getting dark, I felt nervous walking in the mountains.
The mountain road is rugged, and there are grass bushes on both sides, and when a gust of wind blows, the grass will make a "rustling" sound, as if something inside will come out at any time.
Finally, I came to the cemetery, but before I could go inside, I heard a strange scream.
It's an owl.
Although I know what it is, I still feel hairy in my heart.
At night, under the cover of night, the graveyard was as silent as death, and there was a white fog.
Suddenly, a whirlwind blew up the dead leaves on the ground in front of them and swirled upward.
"Euro Europe ......"
There was a cry of an owl. Break the silence.
Immediately afterward, there was a strange sound of "giggling", as if laughing.
I was so frightened that I immediately took two steps forward and leaned closer to Zhuang Li.
Zhuang Li suddenly became alert.
She quickly shone her flashlight around the neighborhood, as if looking for something.
I immediately looked around, but I didn't see anything.
"This owl is so penetrating, by the way, was it laughing just now?" I muttered quietly.
Zhuang Li nodded.
The night owl calls the living creatures to make trouble, and the night owl laughs at the yin people.
I remembered this sentence in the things the old man fed me.
Especially now that Zhuang Li suddenly became nervous, it made me even more panicked.
Zhuang Li slowed down and walked towards the grave.
But what has she been looking for, is it looking for night owls?
Against night owls, the Five Emperors Money doesn't work, I pulled out the dagger.
This dagger was also handed down from my ancestors, and in short, I took everything that my ancestors had passed down with me on this trip.
There was the grave in front of us, and Zhuang Li quickened her pace, but at this moment, suddenly something flew over our heads.
I was so frightened that I immediately crouched down.
It's a big night owl, and it's estimated that it's at least close to a meter.
"It can't be an eagle owl."
"Probably." Zhuang Li replied without thinking.
"Giggle......
Behind him came the laughter of a night owl, which was as terrifying as if it had come from hell.
I was amazed that there was such a large night owl as the eagle owl in this place.
Zhuang Li didn't seem to dare to delay, and quickly walked ahead of the grave.
Although I followed closely behind, my heart was already uneasy.
You can't be wrong with the words handed down from your ancestors.
Could it be that there's something around here? How can night owls laugh so much?
