I followed the thunder's gesture and looked down.

An old woman hunched over and struggled to carry a basket covered with a black cloth, and the basket was so heavy that she didn't know what was inside. She seemed to spot us too, and took a deep look at us. Then he was short and disappeared into the grass.

The old woman came here, needless to say, for the same purpose as me. If it weren't for the fact that it was almost dark, I would have caught up with her and asked for clarification.

It is getting dark, when it is half a month of July, commonly known as Halloween, the moon has been hung up in the sky early, but there are a few black clouds in the sky, the moon is hidden and disappears when it passes through the clouds, and by the faint moonlight, it can also see the graveyard and the surroundings very differently.

Time ticked by, and it was almost midnight, but what I had expected didn't happen.

Da Lei Xiaoqian and they were energetic from the beginning, and after a few hours, they were a little sluggish. The two snuggled up together, as if they had forgotten the danger, and their eyes were raised.

It's really an enviable couple, which is also called seeing the truth in adversity.

But I felt that the crisis was approaching, and what about the old woman, who disappeared as if out of thin air, never to reappear.

Just as I looked down in contemplation, the silence of the night was broken by the sound of a drum.

When I looked up, the scenery in front of me had changed, and all the wild grass and graves were gone, replaced by an antique village in front of me.

Green bricks and blue tiles, bamboo fence courtyard.

In front of a row of old houses, there is a wide square, on the square, a stage is set up, there are a few actors on the stage are busy, carrying some things, there is music on the stage, it should be a prelude.

Many people below entered the venue one after another, and from time to time some people shouted this and that.

I had my back to the stage, so I didn't see it too really, but fortunately the terrain was high, so I could see the general situation.

I kicked the thunderbolt and whispered, "That's coming, don't make a sound, remember what I just said." ”

Da Lei Xiaoqian looked at each other, her face was a little frightened, but she still poked her head out in fear.

I whispered a few words of comfort, patted them on the shoulder, and walked down the mountain path.

I walked through people's houses, around the stage, into the crowd, and it seemed that they didn't care, and when someone saw me coming, they automatically dodged a way.

I'm not welcome, and walked straight to the middle of the stage.

At this time, the drum music on the stage suddenly stopped, and the actors left the stage as if they had received a hint and did not take a curtain call.

An old man, the old man who looked at me across the grave, calmly walked to the front of the stage from behind the scenes, he walked to the middle of the stage, looked around, and then his eyes stayed on my side, and he arched his hand at me slightly, and said loudly to me: "Wouldn't it be nice to have a friend from afar?

I snorted coldly, bowed slightly, and then said aloud to the old man unhurriedly: "Be polite, contemptible people occasionally pass by the treasure land, disturbing you Yaxing, abruptly." As I spoke, I simply jumped on the stage from the side, but my heart was vigilant, thinking to myself, see what he can do to me.

I slowly walked up to the old man and stood side by side with him. He was a shoulder shorter than me, and I had overwhelmed him in terms of momentum.

The old man turned to the side, and he looked at me carefully, and saw that I was calm and relaxed, and his eyes were approving. Then he smiled kindly at me and said, "Distinguished guests, distinguished guests, your guests, flourishing." ”

I said, "Lifted, thank you!"

The old man said, "When old friends reunite, there is no need to stick to these cumbersome etiquette. ”

I thought about the so-called old friend, that is, the second time I met, he smiled at me in the coffin, and that time there were a few things, even a few glances, and it was counted as one time.

I said, "My husband is fresh and refined, and he is really a master in the world." ”

I'm a pun.

"Childe is here, I don't know why?" the old man didn't mind my pun, and said, "I don't like to talk around the corner, but what you say is abrupt is true, and it may not be possible to pass by occasionally." ”

The old man was straightforward, my face turned red, and the lie was exposed.

I coughed dryly a few times to hide my embarrassment.

Since the old man is straightforward, I will simply open the skylight and say something bright. I snorted and said loudly: "Uncle, Guizhuang Sanguan is acting here every day in the middle of the night, which is shocking to the world, and you are not afraid of disturbing the people? ”

The old man looked at me and knew that I was prevaricating, although it was not nonsense, but the reason was high-sounding, and my words were half-truths and half-falses, but he did not break them this time.

The old man said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, what the distinguished guest said is very true, and the old man must pay attention next time." We also play these for our own amusement, just a small play, not in the hall of elegance, laughing and laughing. ”

I wanted to say, "This song should only be in heaven." But when the words came to his lips, he changed it to: "When the small drama is like this, there will be no big drama at all, rare, rare." ”

When the old man heard this, his face was overjoyed. He said, "I have won the prize." The country savages, just acting indiscriminately. Next time, I will perform a special show for you, and you must appreciate and appreciate it. If there are any deficiencies in the play, the distinguished guests will give their opinions. ”

I said: "Where, I am a layman, I can only make up the scene, watch the excitement, and ask for advice, don't make people laugh and be generous." However, since the old gentleman sincerely invited, I will be disrespectful at that time. ”

The old man then changed his words and asked, "Your guest is here, is there anything else?" ”

"What my husband said is very true, I came this time, and there is indeed something to disturb. I said.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "Childe is quick to talk, refreshing, please have something to say." ”

I groaned slightly, stared into the old man's eyes, and said slowly: "Last night, my friend accidentally bumped into this place and inadvertently disturbed the situation, and I have come to confess to you. ”

"It's just a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about it, Brother He Lao, you came in person. The old man stroked his goatee and said.

"Old treacherous and cunning," I said in my heart. "He's waiting for me, but he's pretending to be nothing. After listening to him, I took out the fragrant handkerchief from Da Lei from my pocket and handed it over.

"Yesterday my abrupt friend accidentally picked up something, and he specially asked me to return it on his behalf, and it was also returned to its original owner. I said softly. But at the end of the sentence, "things return to their owners", I accentuated my tone a bit.

The old man took the handkerchief and was not surprised. He took the handkerchief, glanced at it briefly, and said, "I dare you come here for this, but it's ......" He paused, looked up at the starry sky, and muttered: "I have a lost shoe from my friend here, and you will give it to him later, and it will also be returned to its original owner." ”

"Well, I came prepared, it seems that my thoughts have been in vain. I thought to myself. I can't help but worry about the safety of Da Lei and Xiao Qian.

The old man said in a deep voice: "Hey, it's not that I don't give face to my son, there are some things, it's really ...... Providence is hard to disobey. ”

My heart tightened, and it seemed that it would be difficult to stop this trip.

The old man then said to me: "Childe, do you know that there are so many things involved in this handkerchief that it is difficult to describe in words!"

I shook my head lightly and said, "Husband, please speak, I would like to hear about it." ”

The old man sighed and said, "Childe, this place is not a place to speak, please take a step to speak." And follow me to the back lobby, I will tell you in detail, this matter is a long story, this handkerchief has a great origin, but it is a pair of men and women love things. ”

I listened to the testimony in my heart, and with the idea that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, I said, "Okay, then bother." ”

The old man made a gesture of invitation and walked over first. There was already Xiao Si, light the lantern, and open the way in front.

I had no ill feelings towards the old man, and I followed him, knowing that he would not play any tricks, but I was still a little nervous. In the eyes of outsiders, I followed the old man to the back with a big grin.

I heard someone shouting on the stage behind me: "Hey, folks, there are distinguished guests coming today, and if you act again, you will disturb them, please go back, the play has to be performed again another day." ”

Then I heard all kinds of chaotic sounds, some talking, some children crying, some dogs barking, and sparse footsteps, which I couldn't really hear, and the sound went farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, and finally became quiet.

I followed the old man to the back, turned left and right, and in a short time entered a large mansion. The mansion is antique, and it is considered a wealthy family in the countryside, and there are a few family members standing by the door, who bend down to give salutes when they see us coming.

The courtyard is as bright as day, the bluestone pavement, the two sides are full of all kinds of flowers, the fragrance of flowers is fragrant, and occasionally butterflies flutter and fly over the courtyard wall.

I sighed in my heart, isn't this a fairyland on earth. After walking a few more steps, I entered the hall, and the old man asked me to sit down at the table of the Eight Immortals in the middle of the room. Then a maid came over and made a pot of tea. I looked around. It was found that this lobby is still an ancient decoration. In the middle is a Chinese painting of pine and bamboo for a long time. On both sides of the Chinese painting is a couplet, but the words are too sloppy and I don't recognize them.

I thought in my heart, if this is according to the plot of the TV drama, this should be the old house in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

A maid made a cup of tea and brought it to my table, and then she stepped back. The tea is the best Longjing, the cup is the purple sand of Yixing, and the tea is full of aroma. But I'm still a little afraid to drink it. The old man saw my doubts. said: "Childe, please use it." This tea is a good dragon well."

I said in my heart: "I don't dare to drink tea, wouldn't that make the old man make fun of it?", after thinking about it, I gently picked up the teacup, pretended to put the teacup to my mouth, and elegantly blew the tea leaves floating on it, and then, slowly, I took a sip, and praised sincerely: "Good tea, good tea."

I don't know much about the tea ceremony, but I can tell the taste and color of the tea.

The old man was very happy and said, "Childe is really a man of temperament, in fact, you also know that we are not human, you can sit here calmly." I really admire. However, I will not be harmless, you can rest assured. ”

I nodded, the old man touched his beard, and continued: "I haven't introduced myself until now, it's rude, my surname is Xu, how old are you, you can call me Lao Xu." ”

I said respectfully: "Hello Mr. Xu, my name is Zhang Jiansheng, you can call me Xiao Zhang." ”

Old man Xu smiled: "How can you call a guest like that, doesn't that make people laugh at me, I'll call you Zhang Gongzi." ”
