Chapter 3 The aunt weaves the puppet, and the uncle sharpens the iron sickle
Inside the city of Mujia.
The lanterns on the ten-mile long street are on at the beginning, and the figures are intertwined.
At this moment, Gu Changge and Lin Yexue rode horses parallel to the street, and the two were speechless.
Looking at the gradually bustling streets, Gu Changge's thoughts were complicated.
He didn't expect that Lin Yexue also left a horse for himself from the Jianmen group.
What he didn't expect was that Lin Yexue would go home with him...... Although he will take Lin Yexue to the City Lord's Mansion to attend the banquet in a while.
Thinking of the dumb expressions of the Sword Sect disciples after hearing that Lin Yexue was going home with him, somehow, Gu Changge wanted to laugh a little.
However, the words he left on the silk before did jump out of the way.
Now, when I see the Lord for the first time, I don't know what to say for a while.
"Do you feel weird?"
In his ears, Lin Yexue's very discerning but beautiful voice sounded.
A "weird" pulled Gu Changge's scattered thoughts back and recondensed. Turning his head, Lin Yexue's eyes were staring at him.
Eccentric...... She mentioned the oddity twice on paper.
Shaking his head slightly, Gu Changge smiled decently and said calmly.
"You mean, Mujiacheng is brightly lit tonight?"
"Sort of."
"That's because the Sword Gate Snow Fairy Lin Yexue is here, and Mujiacheng will be bright for you tonight."
Gu Changge joked, but Lin Yexue obviously didn't understand what he meant.
"For me?"
Lin Yexue's picturesque face was set off by the lanterns, her eyebrows were furrowed, and her lips were slightly pursed.
Confusion was lightly drawn on her face.
"Normally, doesn't Mu Jiacheng light up?"
"No, you've been here for three months, don't you know?"
Gu Changge held the reins, a little curious.
The girl shook her head slightly.
"I am not good at words, and I have been hiding outside the city. I'm afraid of hurting you, so far I've only seen my aunt and uncle a few times. ”
"My cousin has been in the academy, I haven't seen it yet."
As she spoke, she smiled softly again, and a small dimple appeared on her cheek.
"Now you can."
"When I was very young, I had no relatives. Now there's ...... Although, a year is just a month for loved ones. ”
......
One question and one answer, in the ordinary exchange, Gu Changge and Lin Yexue unconsciously turned a few street corners, and both of them tacitly did not talk about swapping bodies.
The originally bustling and lively streets are slowly becoming cold and dark.
Eventually, Gu Changge stopped in front of a dilapidated courtyard made of blue and black tiled bricks.
This low courtyard is his home.
The family is in Mujiacheng, but Gu Changge's family has a surname of "Gu", which is very similar to the pronunciation of "Mu", so you can roughly guess that Gu Changge's family background is not rich.
After the ancestor moved to Mujiacheng, he changed his surname. The surname "Mu" is the noble surname in the city of Mu's family.
Stepping down, Gu Changge bowed slightly to Lin Yexue, who was walking with him.
"There is a little thin wine in the cold house, and I hope that the snow fairy will not be disgusted."
Looking up, Gu Changge and Lin Yexue walked together, and for the first time saw a "solemn" look on her face.
I saw that Lin Yexue held the saber at her waist.
"It smells of blood."
The smell of blood?
Gu Changge was slightly stunned.
"It's supposed my aunt who slaughtered the chickens."
"Oh, that chicken in that house is weird......"
Lin Yexue's figure dismounted, learned from Gu Changge, and tied the horse to the wooden pillar in front of the door.
Chicken weird?
What can be strange about chickens?
Gu Changge ignored Lin Yexue's strange words, if it weren't for Lin Yexue being a native of this world, Gu Changge almost thought she was playing a stalk.
He shouted as he walked towards the courtyard.
"Auntie! Uncle! I am back! My nephew will take you to the City Lord's Mansion to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas! ”
One breath,
Two breaths,
In the secluded courtyard, there was no sound, only an oil lamp was lit in front of the hall.
"Uncle! Aunt! ”
There was still no sound.
Turning their heads, the two looked at each other.
"Uncle and aunt aren't at home."
"How so?"
"I can sense that there is no one in the house."
"Are you going to join in the fun......?"
Zheng!
A sound like the collision of iron weapons sounded in his ears, which made Gu Changge's heart startled.
The sound of the iron colliding came from the back room!
No one, where is the sound of iron?
Without hesitation, Gu Changge walked straight into the courtyard.
Behind him, Lin Yexue held the hilt of the sword in front of his waist and followed.
Zheng!
Zheng!
Zheng!
The sound of iron colliding kept ringing, and as Gu Changge's steps increased, the frequency became larger and larger.
In the courtyard, everything was still the same as before Gu Changge exchanged bodies.
Old brick houses, tiles scattered, cracks crawling up the walls, and green weeds growing in the corners.
In front of the courtyard hall, a table of meals is placed, covered with a lid.
There was no one in front of the hall, and the voice came from the back room.
Gu Changge walked towards the inner room, the wooden door of the inner room was half-hidden, and he groaned in the wind.
But Lin Yexue was attracted by the covered meal on the table in front of the hall.
The smell of chicken blood, as if it came from there?
Gu Changge didn't care about Lin Yexue who was walking towards the hall, he came to the door of the inner room.
Push the door, there is no light in the house.
With the help of Haoyue's chaotic dispersal of Qinghui, Gu Changge saw the appearance in the inner room clearly-
Haystacks, earthen stoves, statues of gods on red paper pasted on the walls.
The aunt brought a wooden stool and sat in the corner, half facing the door, her hands shaking as if she was knitting something.
After the afterglow, it seems that there is a rag doll in the aunt's hand?
Uncle closed his eyes and pulled his mouth to show his white teeth, and walked upside down in the dark, waving his scythe at the whetstone with his bare toes.
The sound of the iron colliding was made by the scythe on the foot of the uncle when he was crawling, this is sharpening the knife?
The uncle who crawled around, the aunt who kept weaving the puppet, and the sound of iron colliding in my ears......
It's weird.
The night wind slipped by, and there was a smell of blood in the wind.
The wind was not cold, the smell of blood was very cold, cold enough to stimulate Gu Changge's nerves.
“......”
The throat rolled, and the coolness climbed down the spine Gu Changge's back.
There's dirt on my uncle and aunt's body!
Suddenly,
A warm and soft thing poked Gu Changge's neck, and the skin on his neck suddenly tightened!
Dirty?
Turning around,
Gu Changge looked into those familiar cold eyes.
It's snow in the woods.
"The chickens at home are so weird, they don't look like chickens."
"Snow fairy, please help me get rid of evil spirits...... What? ”
"Why does your chicken have a human head and bleed?"
Long human head?
Bloodshed?
Gu Changge looked at Lin Yexue's slightly curious eyes at the moment in a daze.
In a flash
Gu Changge remembered an extremely important matter!
...... What about cousins?
My uncle and aunt are here, where is my cousin?
Bang!
Gu Changge slammed the door away and rushed towards the front of the courtyard hall.
In front of the hall, the lid of the table had been opened.
On the table, there is a large basin.
In the basin, there is a human head.
The black hair soaked through the soup, the corners of the mouth on the rotten face were slightly raised, and the cut surface of the neck was covered with some flesh.
The eyes and lips are gone, but they seem to be laughing.
Gu Changge looked down at her, and she looked up at Gu Changge.
Cousin......
The "chicken" that Lin Yexue said was her cousin, the sister that Lin Yexue wanted to see......
