Chapter 3 The village gate opens
The next day, the rain outside the house was heavier, and the people of the village closed their doors and windows, except for a group of men dressed in black who carried a coffin and walked slowly on the country road.
"It's here. A man in black said, with a coffin-sized pit in front of him.
The coffin was slowly lowered, covered up, and then a tombstone was erected. After doing this, an old man slowly walked out from behind the group, followed by a white-haired young man.
"Mother, don't worry, I will grow up well, and I will listen to the words of the villagers......" The young man knelt in front of the tombstone, muttered to himself, and burned some paper money.
Then the boy cleaned up the grave next to him, burned some paper money, and finally kowtowed three times in front of the two graves.
"Let's go. The boy turned to the crowd and said.
"Don't you want to look at it more?" asked Niu Ye.
Lin Shuang smiled and said, "What's so nice about the two tombs, let's go, I have to go back and clean up the house." ”
Niu Ye glanced at Lin Shuang and nodded: "Let's go." ”
......
Niu Ye sent Lin Shuang back home, saying that he was going to send off the group of people in black, and left Lin Shuang's house in a hurry.
After Niu Ye's figure disappeared from view, Lin Shuang turned his head and walked into the house. The boy first put the stool and other items back in their place, then took out a broom to clean the house, and then went into his mother's house, tidied up, and put on a white cloth after all the items were put on the quilt cover.
In the process of tidying up, the residual smell in the house kept impacting the young man's heart, and the young man held back his tears, and what Niu Ye said kept echoing in his mind.
"When a person dies, he becomes a star in the sky, and he comes out at night to watch his loved one grow up healthily......
Suddenly, the boy saw something stuffed under the table in the corner, and walked over to pick it up, and it seemed to be a letter left by his mother.
"Shuang'er, when you read this letter, I think I'm no longer alive, I really want to be able to watch you grow up healthy, but unfortunately my mother can't, my mother only hopes that after my mother is gone, you have to listen to the villagers, eat well, sleep well, don't always fight, make a few more friends, but not too much, one or two true friends are enough... Isn't it a little long-winded, but my mother still has a lot to say, and I want to accompany you for a long time, but these mothers can't do it... In the drawer at the head of my mother's bed, there is a jade pendant given to you by my mother, which is something that my mother has brought since childhood, I hope that after my mother is gone, it can replace me to accompany you and watch you grow up..."
The letter was written here, and the boy put the letter down, and the tears finally couldn't help falling, and tears covered the boy's face.
After a long time, the boy gradually recovered from his grief and opened the drawer at the head of the bed, in which there was a silver-gray jade pendant lying quietly inside, but the jade pendant seemed to be half broken, and the pattern that should have been on the jade pendant was not complete.
Immediately, Lin Shuang picked up the jade pendant and put it in the palm of his hand to look at it carefully, and suddenly, a cold feeling invaded his whole body, making the young man shiver. This feeling didn't last long, and then another warmth flowed into his body, just like his mother holding him, which made the boy very comfortable, and his hand couldn't help but clench a little.
Smelling it carefully, the jade pendant seems to have some special aroma, which is very motivating people to sleep, and Lin Shuang can't help but want to take a nap.
"What a strange jade pendant. Lin Shuang muttered, then wrapped the jade pendant and put it in his clothes.
The boy exited his mother's room, looked around the room, and finally gently locked the door. After doing this, the young man sighed, looked at the silent room, and was faintly distracted.
......
"This old man Hu has some conscience. Niu Ye said to himself, "It's not like this group of white-eyed wolves in the village, who can clear up both after giving a little money, it's really blind!"
"Who are you saying is blind?" Old man Hu's voice came from behind him.
Niu Ye hurriedly turned around and scolded: "Old guy, you are sick, are you responsible for scaring me to death, this old man?"
"If you want me to say that you just can't see something, you can't see everywhere, I suggest you look at your brain!"
"Are you done scolding?" said Old Man Hu with a smile, "I'll get down to business after scolding." ”
Just when Niu Ye was still confused, he saw that the old man Hu waved his cuffs, and the black-clothed man behind Niu Ye turned into a few paper figures and ran into the cuffs of the former.
"Okay, you keep scolding, I'll go first. Old man Hu smiled and made a gesture of leaving.
"What's the matter, give me a wait. Niu Ye grabbed Old Man Hu, "That, that, that..."
"Which one, it's awkward to be so old!" Old man Hu pretended to be impatient.
"Thank you, thank you. After speaking, Niu Ye immediately looked around, pretending not to care.
Old man Hu couldn't help but smile and asked, "Thank me for what?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I've finished talking anyway, if you want to go, hurry up. Niu Ye made a posture of rushing people.
"Okay, okay, then I'll go, next time I have something to say, just say it, don't act like a girl. Old man Hu laughed loudly and touched his beard and walked away slowly.
Niu Ye shouted loudly: "Be careful that the horse widow climbs the window of your house in the middle of the night!"
"If you can't ask for it, I'm afraid you don't want to!" Old man Hu's voice came from a distance.
Niu Ye stomped his feet, but he didn't expect that he couldn't say anything about the old man, so he gritted his teeth fiercely. Immediately, he turned around and walked towards Lin Shuang's house.
Old man Hu was walking leisurely on the road, when suddenly a strong wind blew, Old Man Hu suddenly stopped, and there was a bewitching woman in red in front of him.
"I don't know where the sacredness is?" asked Old Man Hu.
"You are the ruler of this world?" The woman's voice was very seductive, making people itch very much, and they couldn't wait to rush up and hug the woman immediately.
Old man Hu smiled and said, "The person in charge doesn't dare to be the one who is in charge, he is just a village guard." ”
The woman smiled evilly, and her figure suddenly appeared in front of Old Man Hu, a pair of jade hands hugged Old Man Hu, and threw herself into the latter's arms, shouting in a bewitching voice: "Master~"
"Well, girl, what are you talking to yourself about a piece of wood?" asked the old man not far away.
When the woman heard this, she looked up and found that she was holding a piece of wood, grabbed the wood in her hand, and in the blink of an eye, the wood turned into a cloud of ashes and scattered down.
"Girl, I'm at my age, don't use your ability to seduce people, it will only make me feel disgusting. Old man Hu said.
The woman gritted her teeth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, old fellow, this is your burial place today!"
A blood-red long whip suddenly appeared in the woman's hand, and the woman shook it violently, and the long whip tied the old man Hu like a long crimson snake and couldn't move.
The woman smiled contemptuously, she didn't expect it to be solved so easily, "Is this the ruler of this world?"
Before the woman finished speaking, she suddenly felt a cold feeling behind her, and turned her head with great effort, but at some point, Old Man Hu stood behind her, and gave herself a fixation spell.
"Who sent you?" asked Old Man Hu.
The woman stared at Old Man Hu deadly, and suddenly her expression changed to a pitiful look.
Old man Hu smiled: "I told you, your charm technique is useless to me. ”
"Tell me, who sent you? Old man Hu found a place to sit down and looked at the enchanting woman in front of him leisurely.
The woman gritted her teeth and turned her head to the side.
"Don't say it?" Old man Hu clapped his hands, "Then I'm sorry." ”
Immediately afterwards, Old Man Hu pressed one hand on the woman's head, and with a fierce force, the woman screamed, and suddenly, a wave of heaven and earth aura gathered on top of the woman's head like a tornado.
"Soul search!"
Old man Hu snorted violently, and as the woman's scream sounded, the aura above his head entered the woman's head in one go.
"I... I said..."The woman struggled to squeeze out a few words.
Old man Hu glanced at the woman indifferently, silent, and still had no intention of stopping.
The woman's screams became louder and quieter, and her face turned from ruddy to pale. After a long time, the old man Hu untied the immobilization spell on the woman's body, and the woman collapsed directly to the ground, with continuous coquettish sounds, her whole body was weak, and her eyes looked at the "kind" old man in front of her in horror.
"Put, put... Over me. The woman pleaded, "They forced me to come, and I don't want to..."
Before the woman finished speaking, suddenly an extremely thin silk thread passed through the woman's neck, and with a click, the head rolled down to the feet of Old Man Hu.
"You don't have a chance. Old man Hu smiled, looked at the sky with deep eyes, and said lightly: "Since your Excellency wants to come, I will open the mountain gate to welcome you, don't let Hu down!"
At this moment, in a pavilion somewhere, an old woman spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted: "Hu Ziyi, this old guy is still alive!"
"It's just a lost dog, so why be afraid. A young man surrounded by flying swords spoke, "Since he promised to open the mountain gate, our goal has been achieved, and your disciple's death is worth it." ”
"It's the pay. The young man took out a blue-green elixir, which still had lines on it, and it looked extraordinary.
The old woman snorted coldly and took it, and then a golden Neidan appeared in her hand, and it was crushed violently.
......
"I'm not unfamiliar with your disciple's spiritual power. Old man Hu muttered, and his body turned into a wisp of cyan aura and dissipated in place.
At sunset, the light rain has already stopped, a little smoke rises in the village, children frolic under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, several old people also sit under the old locust tree and laugh and talk about the past, Niu Ye came back from outside the village, glanced at everyone, snorted coldly and left quickly.
The children were unimpressed, and the old men looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed.
In the muddy alley, the young man in the house with the locust tree was busy, opened the rice jar, found that there was not much rice left in it, and rummaged through the vegetable jar again, and found that there was a starving rat inside.
The boy sighed and poured the few pieces of rice into the pot.
"Xiaoshuang!" Niu Ye's voice came from outside the house.
Lin Shuang was busy extinguishing the fire that had just risen, covered the pot, and only got up to open the door after doing this.
"Master Niu. Lin Shuang opened the door.
"Why did it take so long to open the door?" Niu Ye touched Lin Shuang's head, and when he saw the white hair, his heart was a little sour.
"I was just about to go to bed, and as soon as I lay down, you came. Lin Shuanghan said with a smile.
"Aren't you eating, just sleeping?" said Master Niu smiled.
Lin Shuangxiao's face turned red, and he said stiffly: "I've eaten it." ”
Niu Ye laughed, "Then what's the matter with the cooking smoke that just rose from your house?"
The lie was revealed, and the boy blushed and scratched his head.
"Let's go, go home and eat. ”
......
In the evening, Lin Shuang looked up at the starry sky, and muttered to himself: "Mother, don't worry, I'm doing well, you have to take care of yourself in the sky..."
Niu Ye quietly came to the pot in the kitchen, lifted the lid, and found that there was only a little uncooked rice in it, and then opened the rice jar to take a look, and found that it was cleaner than his face.
Niu Ye sighed heavily, silently opened his package, took out a rice bag from it and poured the rice into it.
Then, after glancing at the boy who was staring at the sky in a daze, he got up and left quietly.
