Chapter 265: Is She So Clingy
Night Twilight walked beside Lan Nuanyu to look at her, and kept following the old man, the old man was struggling, he didn't find anything today, he seemed to have been used to it, and walked into the afterglow lonely.
"This eccentric old man, it's really strange. Lan Nuanyu looked at his figure and asked, "Is this old man a human or a ghost?"
"Have you ever seen a ghost with a shadow?" replied Twilight, "It's a human." ”
"People, people are addicted to fishing to such a point?" Lan Nuanyu said, pressing her rumbling stomach a few hours ago, "It's amazing not eating for a day." ”
"Not everyone is like you have to eat five or six meals a day. Night Twilight said that after all, he still rubbed her head and said, "Eat a cake first, and when I return to the inn tomorrow, I will take you to eat the full banquet of the Manchurians, okay?"
Lan Nuanyu took the cake and said, "Okay, for the sake of your sincerity, I reluctantly accepted it." ”
The two followed the old man to the front of a house, which stood neatly in a row of low houses, and it seemed that the old man was not a man with no money, and the main beam of the house seemed to be a new tree, and the house had not been built for long.
There is a large loquat tree in the courtyard, and under the tree there are several large water tanks, and instead of a few bubbles bubbling in the water tank, it seems that there are a few fish.
Lan Nuanyu held the cake in one hand, took a bite hard, and asked while chewing: "Night twilight, we have all followed others all the way, so do you have to follow up?"
"Go and ask. Night Twilight said: "Uncle, you see that we have followed you all the way, can't you tell us something? ”
The old man took out a few wild vegetables from the basket and threw them in the pot, grabbed a few more grains of rice and put them in, and lit a fire to cook porridge.
When everything was ready, he slowly turned his head to look at the Night Twilight Scar and the Blue Warm Jade.
Lan Nuanyu has always gobbled up food, whether he was hungry or full, he always stuffed it into his mouth with all his might, as if someone wanted to rob her.
The old man just turned his head to look at them, Lan Nuanyu was just about to talk to Ye Twilight, and the tongue and the cake in her mouth seemed to have a fight in her mouth, and as a result, both sides were defeated, no one won, but Lan Nuanyu choked lightly.
"Ahem, uh, ahem. Lan Nuanyu looked at the cake that was spit out by herself distressedly, and her eyes were in her eyes.
"Come in. The old man said, "But drink the water and leave quickly, this place is not suitable for you." ”
The old man picked up a gourd scoop, scooped it into a large basin, poured it into the bowl and served it to Lan Nuanyu.
Lan Nuanyu looked at this house curiously, there were all kinds of furnishings inside, several stools were better than those made by the people in the small fishing village in the east, so she rushed the elaborate patterns on the stools, and took them out to buy money to support herself.
"Uncle, are you a carpenter?" Lan Nuanyu asked tentatively.
As if he had not heard him, the old man took care of himself to lift the lid of the pot, took the wooden bowl and brought out the porridge in the pot, and sat down to eat it, without asking the two uninvited guests in the house.
"This old man is deliberately ignoring people. Lan Nuanyu covered her mouth with her hands and said, "Why doesn't he ignore people?"
"Eat yours. Night Twilight tried to ask: "Uncle, we are here to ask about this village, more than ten families in Fengqing Village are so inexplicably gone, do you know why?"
The old man didn't raise his head, and said coldly: "I don't know." ”
"The official family said it was a plague, but I don't think it was a plague, right? It doesn't look like there are corpses here, and there are no key souls. Looking into the old man's eyes steadily, he said, "Those people are still alive, where are they? It's not a plague here, but a goblin haunting you, right?"
The old man's expression sank, and he picked up the broom and hit the body of the twilight scarre: "Get out, you know what! ”
Lan Nuanyu hurriedly went to pull the old man's arm, the old man was old, and he was not the opponent of the two at all.
Night Twilight didn't make a move, but Lan Nuanyu couldn't see the person she liked being beaten, so she directly snatched the broom from the old man's hand, folded it to his knees, and the broom was cut in two.
"Wouldn't you be able to talk well? Lan Nuanyu smiled happily when she saw Ye Twilight standing aside, turned her head and scolded: "You are really, you won't hide when he beats you?
Night Twilight said: "Don't be angry, he was pushed by me, and he didn't have to help him pick up the bones again, he couldn't draw it." It's our fault to say that we want to break into other people's houses. ”
"Say, do you know what's going on in Fengqing Village?" Lan Nuanyu asked domineeringly, picking up half of the broom and patting it in his hand.
The old man looked at the half-cut broom in Lan Nuanyu's hand and was not afraid at all, he directly bypassed Lan Nuanyu and the night twilight marks, picked up the small jar containing earthworms and walked towards the yard, and said in his mouth: "Defecate yourself." ”
"Uh......" Lan Nuanyu embarrassedly threw away the half-cut broom in her hand, ran to the side of the night twilight and said: "This old man is a donkey, so stubborn, I'm afraid I can't knock anything out of his mouth." ”
"yes, it's hard. Twilight said, "Let's go." ”
"Where are you going? This is the lowest living person we've ever seen, and if we let it go, I'm afraid we won't see it next time." You can see the twilight marks of the night. He must have known something, but he wouldn't tell us. ”
Twilight said, "What do you see? ”
"Are you really leaving?" Lan Nuanyu hesitated.
"If you don't leave, you'll stay here by yourself?" Night Twilight smiled, "Let's go." After speaking, he didn't care what Lan Nuanyu had to say, he took her hand and dragged her outside the courtyard gate.
"Uncle, thank you for the water. We'll be back again, and I hope you'll tell us about the matter here, it's a goblin matter, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it alone. ”
When Twilight Scar was talking to the old man, the old man was really concentrating on digging up a piece of land to find earthworms.
Lan Nuanyu walked out of the courtyard and asked, "What has happened to this Fengqing Village, this old man also has a ghost, I think he knows everything, but he just won't tell us." If we can't ask, we can't help him. ”
"He fished all day, and then he didn't farm or do woodwork, but ate wild vegetables dug up by the roadside. What happened to a carpenter who suddenly became obsessed with fishing?"
Twilight Scar walked forward, stopping around the corner from the carpenter's house.
"Let's go, why don't you leave?" Lan Nuanyu pushed Ye Twilight's body a few times.
Night Twilight said: "You go back to the inn, I will stay here today." ”
"That's not going to work. Lan Nuanyu said: "Where are you, where am I." ”
"Is it so sticky?" Night Twilight scratched Lan Nuanyu's nose and said, "Okay." Let's find a room to hide. ”
Lan Nuanyu said: "Aren't we going back to that old man's house? ”
Twilight poked her head and said, "Did you forget that you just dismantled someone's broom?"
"Aren't you going to give money?" Lan Nuanyu said, "Anyway, it's just a broom, you must give him money." ”
"......" Night Twilight was helpless: "Just like you, I don't have enough money for you to spend." ”
"Cut, stingy. Lan Nuanyu said: "Okay, I don't care about you, you just say what to do." ”
Night Twilight flew to a high place and said, "Yu'er, come up." We walked up the roof to the old carpenter's house. ”
"You didn't say you wouldn't go to his house, and now you're going to go again?" Lan Nuanyu crossed her waist and said, "Night twilight marks! ”
"Shhhhhh "Don't be discovered by that carpenter, go and walk around his dreams, maybe you'll know everything." ”
Lan Nuanyu was anxious when she heard this: "You want to use that spell again? You don't know how dangerous that spell is? How many times have you used it this year, and when you were welcoming the clan, you summoned the soul of that family of four, you are a demon, this kind of trick to hide from the world can still be used less." ”
"I know, I don't necessarily need it today. "I just think he might have some secrets with that demon." ”
"I just took a look at his tank, and there were still fish in it. ”
"It's strange that there are fish, you say that he sat there for a day, caught a fish and didn't eat it, just raised it?" Lan Nuanyu said: "I think this person must have something wrong with his brain." No, even if he has a problem with his head and knows how to eat it, he can't even eat it. ”
"I don't think he can't eat it, it's that he can't eat it. "I don't know if you've noticed how black the water is in that river." The water in his tank was as clear as a mirror, and he was fishing not so much to eat fish as to save them. ”
Lan Nuanyu looked at Ye Twilight Scar as if she didn't understand, and said, "You mean to say that this old man was originally a carpenter, but then something happened in Fengqing Village, and he wanted to save the fish in the river?"
"Come in. Twilight stood on the window and stretched out a hand towards Lan Nuanyu.
"Oh. Lan Nuanyu responded cautiously and turned into the room.
The old carpenter seemed to have prepared the things he would need for tomorrow, boiled the water, washed his feet, and went to sleep on the couch, not even his clothes and trousers, presumably to save time in dressing.
Twilight laid a layer of straw on the floor of the back kitchen, and took off his coat and put it on the grass for Lan Nuanyu to sit and rest, and he cut a very small hole in the wall. The hole is very small, so small that only the cat demon can see it in this world.
Lan Nuanyu couldn't stay idle, and when she saw the night twilight marks there, she also wanted to join in the fun.
On the day of the third watch, this small village was surprisingly quiet, there were no insects and birds, and there was no dog barking, as if it was stationary, and even breathing was extraordinarily abrupt.
Lan Nuanyu's eyes were half-closed and half-closed, and she wanted to fall asleep but was afraid that the night twilight would quietly go into the old carpenter's dream.
"If you are sleepy, I promise not to go. Night Twilight said gently: "Hold your hand for you, will you be relieved?"
