Chapter 299: The Mysterious Woman
Jin Village Chief said with a gloomy face, "Don't be smart and answer randomly"
When Li Huaiyun saw the village chief's warning, he was also very puzzled, "When did the child die?" ”
"In the first seven days of his mother's life, he fell ill and died, but for some reason, everyone in the village had seen this little ghost,"
"During this period, I also found monks and Taoists to do things, but I don't know if the resentment is too deep, and I have not been able to disperse it, and I have been wandering in the village, and it is useless to invite many monks and Taoists to do it."
"A lot of people in the village died because of this!"
"Why did you die?" Li Huaiyun asked.
Jin Village Chief shook his head, the expression on his face became even more gloomy, "I don't know why, they stabbed themselves to death with a knife. ”
Stab yourself! Li Huaiyun frowned, it seems that this little ghost is quite powerful, "The village chief is relieved!" If that imp comes knocking on the door, I'll ambush him. ”
The village chief turned his head sideways, and a grim smile crossed his face, "My lord! It's not that simple, you're a mortal after all, and if you encounter that little ghost, it's best to stay away. ”
This kind of smile made Li Huaiyun a little puzzled, because it was not a kind smile, was it my illusion?
The village chief himself took him to a cleaned, yard, and bungalow where the family originally lived, but later moved to a nearby county, leaving this empty house.
The village chief, knowing that there were many people who came to the temple every year, divided the house into three small rooms and cleaned them so that they could rest their feet, and this action brought some income to the village.
Later, the rest of the village learned to do the same, which made the village lively.
Generally, people who want to go to Jueming Temple will not be stingy with the money in their hands, and they will not stay in the temple until they get a clear answer, as for the reason is unknown, some people say that the temple is too small, and there are too many people to go.
As a result, the houses in this village are inhabited all year round.
"Today, luckily, there is no one in this bungalow, you can choose one at random!"
Li Huaiyun directly handed over the silver ingots on his body to the village chief.
"My lord! That's unacceptable! You are an official of the imperial court! How can I take your money! ”
"Take it! The accommodation here is not for nothing, and the village chief also asked people to search the village, but the murderer was not found, and this silver ingot is considered a labor fee! ”
"My lord, that's too much!" The village chief's eyes lit up, as if he had never seen so much silver,
"It's okay, you can take it! It's a piece of my heart! ”
Village Chief Jin immediately thanked him, "Then it's disrespectful!" ”
"It's getting late, my lord, do you want to dine with us, or do you want me to send someone to bring the food to your room?"
Li Huaiyun thought about it, he still rested tonight, and by the way, he looked at the things taken out of the retreat room, and chose to deliver food to the room.
"Great!" Village Chief Kim thanked him again, then walked out of the courtyard and returned to the village temple.
Li Huaiyun walked straight towards the middle room, he pushed open the door, and a smell of wood came to his face, the whole room was relatively simple, similar to the inferior room of the inn.
Cold and damp, narrow and low, this place is made into a temporary place, but it is average.
After a while, the clouds in the sky gradually thickened, and the sky gradually darkened, and the sun slowly sank into the distant peaks, and the clouds were sprinkled with golden yellow.
Birds chirped in the mountains and forests in the distance, and the night gradually lengthened, and soon the sky became dark.
Li Huaiyun lit the candle and sat down at the table, carefully observing the molars taken out of the retreat room, as well as the scripture that he could not read at all.
Strange, what's so special about this tooth! He looked and looked, then took his teeth in his hand and chiseled hard into the table, and then a small hole was made in the table.
These teeth are strong! Suddenly, he looked at the book on the table, and there seemed to be a glint on the inner page.
He frowned, and immediately flipped through the book with his hand, but no matter how he turned it, he couldn't seem to find the light of meaning.
There must be something wrong with this book!
Li Huaiyun held the scripture book in both hands, raised it above his head, and looked through it vigorously for a moment, except for the last sentence, the others still did not understand a word.
This script is too strange, if it is not an ancient text, like an oracle bone inscription or something, then it must be Sanskrit!
But I've seen some Sanskrit, and it doesn't look like it!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Li Huaiyun's heart tightened, and he looked towards the gate, could it be the little ghost in the village chief's mouth? Came to ask so early?
"Who!" He shouted loudly, his hands on the table clenching into fists unconsciously.
"Your Excellency!" A delicate woman's voice came from outside the door, "The village chief asked me to deliver food!" ”
As soon as Li Huaiyun heard this, he packed up all the things on the table, and then stepped forward and opened the door.
A woman in her thirties and forties stood at the door, with a beautiful face, with a charm between her eyebrows, and a graceful posture, especially the mountain peak, wearing a gray one-piece coarse cloth skirt, and her long black hair, exuding a fragrance unique to mature women.
She held a bowl of rice and a few side dishes on it, with a smile on her face.
Li Huaiyun stretched out his hand to pick it up, but was refused.
"The village chief said, you are a distinguished guest, I can't let you serve the plate, I will serve you."
"That's too polite!" He wanted to decline the service, but the woman's graciousness made him a little helpless, so he could only open the door and let her come in with food.
The woman walked into the room with her wide crotch, her charm was still temperamental, it was a man who would feel a little itchy when she saw it, but Li Huaiyun knew that now was not the time to think about these things.
He sat down at the table and looked at the bowl of white rice, and the plates of side dishes, pickled radish and eggplant, and a plate of white cuts.
These meals are quite hearty for this small village!
She picked up the dishes and chopsticks, only to find that the woman had also sat down, just facing him, looking at him with a smile on her face, making him feel quite uncomfortable.
What is she doing here? Li Huaiyun was a little puzzled, put down the dishes and chopsticks directly, and asked, "This lady, may I ask, what else is the matter?" ”
"It's fine!"
"Why are you watching me eat?"
"When you're done, I have to clean up the dishes and chopsticks for you, and I have to wash your feet and beat your back." The woman smiled and said, "If you don't dislike it, I...!" ”
Li Huaiyun raised his hand and stopped her from continuing, "This is also what the village chief meant?" ”
"Not really," the woman chuckled.
