5. The Woman (I)

Wang Yuan carried the burden he had just purchased, looked at the bustling crowd in front of the city gate, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

The soldiers guarding the city gate checked one by one, and there was no trouble, and after the inspection, they were quickly released.

When it was Wangyuan's turn, after checking as usual, the soldier did not let him go immediately, but stood there and looked at Wangyuan.

Wangyuan was also very strange, and looked back at the past suspiciously.

The two stared at each other for a long time.

Finally, the soldier couldn't help it, and while slandering in his heart that there were such people in the world who didn't know the times, he said quite awkwardly:

"Hey, don't you know what to leave behind at this gate?"

The silver bell on Wangyuan's waist shook, and a secret word came into Wangyuan's ears,

"Stupid! He's trying to get you to pay some tolls. ”

The tone is very hateful.

Wangyuan's expression did not change, and he finally understood what the soldier meant, reached out and took some silver from the baggage, and handed it to the soldier.

The soldier weighed his weight, smiled with satisfaction, and immediately ordered to let him go.

After walking for a while, Wang Yuan remembered his doubts when he was at the city gate just now, and couldn't help but smile.

I'm too simple, so I have to be careful when I act in the future.

This smile is a lot easier, Wang Yuan looked at the blue sky, the beautiful scenery around him, and his mood was even more comfortable.

Even the pace is a lot brisker.

The journey was uneventful, but she overestimated her own footsteps and failed to reach the next planned town, Jincheng, before dark.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Wangyuan had no choice but to speed up his pace, hoping to be lucky, meet a family, and spend the night there.

But Wangyuan's luck was better, and before he walked a few steps, he found a house not far away.

Wangyuan was like a cat that had seen a mouse at this time, his eyes lit up, and he pounced on it, of course, it was the door.

But Wangyuan finally stopped at the last moment of the faux pas.

Standing still, tidying up his clothes, he knocked on the door quite politely, and asked a few more times, "Is there anyone?"

After a few screams, the door opened, and it was a scrawny old woman.

As soon as he saw this person, Wang Yuan almost exclaimed.

The striking eyes were closed, and two centipede-like scars lay across the eyes, looking as if the upper and lower eyelids had been sewn up.

Not only that, but the old woman's skin was loose on the bones, and the black-brown age spots walked one by one, which made the terrifying eyes more flattering.

Under the slight illumination of the moonlight, the old woman's face showed a faint dead blue, like a ghost.

It's no wonder that Wangyuan, who is determined to be good, was startled.

After the old woman opened the door, she stood there quietly, without saying a word, just staring at Wangyuan.

Wangyuan's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to interrupt the strange atmosphere:

"Well, the old man, the younger generation came from the capital, and wanted to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, who expected that something happened on the road, and he missed the time, and I hope that the old man is willing to take in the younger generation for one night, and the younger generation will be grateful."

Anyway, he also moved forward deeply, although the old man can't see it, but there should be a number of courtesies.

silently slandered in her heart, if it weren't for the surrounding family, it was dark again, she would not stay in this weird place, how weird, but she couldn't talk about it, so she thought about it a lot.

Secretly shook his head, his face was not half revealed, full of sincerity and respect.

But the old woman didn't care at all, beckoned to Wangyuan, and walked towards the house again.

Wang Yuan hesitated for a moment, but after analysis, he still chose the more advantageous option at this time - to follow quickly.

The old woman slowly led the way in front, and Wangyuan followed quietly, but in fact, she was watching and listening to all directions.
