The Mystery of Qixia Chapter 32 Nian Nian
Luo Qian was thinking about how to explain the origin of the sable and the fox demon to the grandparents and grandchildren, but the grandmother walked out from behind the door and shouted in a trembling voice.
"Don't dare to be, don't be afraid. If the chickens are gone, you can raise them again, and you have to be careful of your body!" Luo Qian was really afraid that this weak ancestor and grandson would be scared out of something by the fox demon.
"Engong, come into the house and sit......! Come again!"
Luo Gan nodded, and when he was about to enter the house, he suddenly felt a pain in his waist, and when he lowered his head, he saw a messy clump of hair tied with red silk.
"Get out! Get out!" Nian Nian slammed Luo Gan's waist, and put his head on his waist again, trying to push Luo Gan out. But helplessly, Luo Gan stood there like a mountain, even though his thoughts were flushed and he tried hard, but he still didn't move.
Luo Qian looked at Grandma, and the other party looked embarrassed and at a loss. As soon as he put his hand on Niannian's shoulder, the little girl slammed into a shock, shook him off and hid behind Grandma.
"Ah, it's okay, I'm just passing by, by the way, to see how the uncle is doing. Hasn't he come back from digging vegetables now? It's not a cold day, Grandma, you remember to tell Uncle Don't stay outside for too long. ”
Luo Gan slowly retreated, since Grandma's granddaughter didn't welcome him, he didn't have to be a guest here. But why didn't the little girl welcome him? Even though Luo Gan was puzzled, he could feel that both humans and demons were deliberately keeping a distance from him.
He thought of the little yellow dog he rescued that day, and the old scholar who saved him. Where are they now?
Grandma replied to him: "He won't be cold." Go and see him, on the hillside behind the house. Quietly, he fell asleep......"
The tall and bare trees were once thriving.
The old scholar's grave was in a clearing in the woods, next to a small earthen bag.
Grandma said that that night, there was a sudden commotion outside the house. The two yellow dogs kept whining and howling outside, and Nian Nian hid under the covers, shaking in fear.
At first, the old scholar pulled the door open a little, and looked out through the crack: it was empty.
"It should be that there is trouble in the north of the village, we can't see it. ”
Grandma relayed the old scholar's explanation to Nian Nian, who didn't believe it at all. She began to frenzy as if she had heard something, yelling at the two old men through the quilt.
Grandma couldn't tell what she was yelling at when she recalled, and sighed at Luo Gan. It took a long time for Luo Qian to guess from Grandma's concealment that Nian Nian might have said a lot of excessive things to them.
Verbal abuse, bad language, it's all possible.
So, in order to make Niannian feel at ease, the old scholar took the big yellow dog out of the house.
The two had already walked to the old scholar's grave, and Nian Nian locked himself in the house and did not come out with them.
A wooden plaque was inserted on the grave, and the grandmother knelt in front of the wooden plaque and knocked three times sincerely.
"Sir, there is no more yellow paper, you can teach more books below to make money. Grandma stared at the ashes on the dirt in a daze, and caught a glimpse of the young man also making three strokes in front of the grave.
"Engong, I will wrap your quilt in the grave of my husband, you won't blame, right?"
"How so? It's warm down there. The quilt was deliberately placed in their house by Luo Gan, but he just didn't expect Grandma to wrap the quilt in the old scholar and bury him.
"Yes, how cold it is!" At this time, the west wind was not blowing as tightly as it was that night, "If it weren't for Nian Nian, he wouldn't have gone out." In the past, when this unsuccessful scholar first returned to the village, the girls in the raccoon clothes laughed at him for being poor and sour, and he was full of words, and he wanted to be a bachelor for the rest of his life. ”
Luo Gan stood in front of the grave and said nothing. He remembered that this shriveled and thin old scholar was careful when he was doing things in the house, for fear of disturbing the little girl in the back room.
He thought it was his granddaughter, but the old scholar told him that the two grandchildren were driven out by those people in the north of the village, and they were not related to him.
So he planted the land in this mountain nest alone for decades, and a few days ago he suddenly said that he regretted a little, if he had promised a matchmaker from a family in the village when he was young, he might have a lovely granddaughter now. Well, in fact, I know that at that time, he couldn't afford to marry a widow, and would rather be alone in the house and study. Nian Nian also said that Mr.'s words are very beautiful. ”
The wind was blowing a little cold, and Grandma shrunk her neck.
Luo Gan took off his cloak and put it on Grandma's shoulder, "After reading Mr., let's go back." Nian Nian is also scared when he is alone at home. ”
"Well, what about missing her...... Grandma just turned around and looked back at the grave bag again, "Can you help me engrave the name of the gentleman?"
Luo Qian readily agreed.
Grandma summarized the life of the old scholar, and Luo Gan prepared to engrave it on the wooden plaque: The tomb of Wu Zhijie, a white-clothed Xiucai. One stroke at a time, extremely cautious, after all, a little force will carve the wooden card.
After the old scholar went out that night, Grandma couldn't fall asleep. In the second half of the night, the sound outside gradually became quieter, and even Nian Nian was no longer noisy.
Grandma looked at Luo Gan, who was engraving carefully, and was full of emotion. "That night, after Nian Nian fell asleep, I couldn't sleep. It was dark all around, and suddenly I heard a knock on the door. Someone sent him back, but when I went to open the door, I couldn't find him. With his last breath, the gentleman told me that it was safe outside, and told me that I could go to the north of the village every day to get food......"
Luo Gan actually knew that what Grandma was talking about was actually the night he and Lin Huaduan left Sanli Village. Wu Yi swept away their things in order to solve the matter of Sanli Village in one fell swoop.
Now it seems that Wu Yi's so-called solution is probably to solve all the people who cause trouble.
"When I went, I found out that Xiao Ling was there. Yesterday Xiao Ling also brought me a hen, and Xiao Ling was no longer there when it passed today......"
"Dong Xiaoling?" Luo Gan interrupted.
"Oh, a girl. You don't know, do you? The village chief said that the matter in Sanli Village was caused by Xiao Ling. I only know," the road down the mountain was very steep, but Grandma avoided Luo Gan's support and carried a stick herself, "After the accident, I followed them to the north of the village and handed over all the grain. But they hurt us and drove us out! What do you say, women, children, old and young, can't hold everyone back. They said that the murderer Xiao Ling returned to the village to bring me food, who do you think I would believe? However, there are only a few of us left in the whole village. ”
"What happened that night? Did Dong Xiaoling tell you?"
Xiao Ling said that in the middle of the night, an old man came to the village, and he bewitched all the people in the north of the village to go out, saying that he wanted to destroy the monsters in the village in one fell swoop. Hey, I don't understand, these people don't even believe in their own village, how can they easily trust a strange old man?"
Taking advantage of the way down the mountain, Grandma slowly relayed Dong Xiaoling's experience to him.
After Dong Xiaoling returned to the village, he hid for a while, and secretly followed after discovering the abnormal movement that night. The old man was the old beggar who rescued their brothers and sisters back then, Dong Xiaoling thought that this Taoist who could really save them, but followed them to an old well.
The old beggar turned around the well a few times, and suddenly he became angry, and began to curse his father and mother. Dong Xiaoling was so frightened that he accidentally made a sound, but was discovered by the old beggar.
When the old beggar saw her, he said that he would fill the well with her, and the villagers were furious when they saw her, and applauded the old beggar's decision.
Just as a few farmers were carrying her into the well, a white-haired monster flew into the air and robbed her.
