It turns out that this is the case, I said how this eldest brother walks as if he has lost his soul, it turns out that there is a funeral of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person to a white-haired person in the family, and the great compassion of the world.

Seeing that the old lady and the golden lock remembered the sad things again, crying and sighing, I didn't know what to say to comfort them for a while.

The old man on the side also felt embarrassed, so he pulled my clothes and said, "I... I said Nangong, why don't we change the other. ”

When the mother and son heard this, they hurriedly restrained their sadness, and said apologetically: "Don't don't, look at our mother, let you laugh." After speaking, he turned around and shouted to the house: "Daughter-in-law, there are guests at home, you can kill a chicken for dinner and add some vegetables." ”

As soon as the words fell, a woman's answer came from the house: "I know Mother!"

I and Lao Zhi were a little awkward to let into the house, the house is not big, the furnishings are quite simple, after entering the house, the lock introduced to me that his surname is Jin Suo, nickname Suo, Chinese New Year's Eve this year, before he and his daughter-in-law worked in the field, just last September suddenly found out that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, so he threw away the work in the city, and the two went home together to give birth. But who knows, on the day the child was born, he died inexplicably, and speaking of this, Jin Suo and the old lady began to be sad again.

Looking at the golden lock lady like this, my heart also began to sour water, it was a happy event to have a child in middle age, but I looked forward to October, but in the end it ended up with such a result, no one can accept it, the golden lock is okay, after all, I am young, and I will have a chance to have children in the future, but the old lady has a pair of eyes.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but wonder a little in my heart, I saw the old lady's eyes just now that there was obviously a layer of yin qi shrouded in it, what was going on? Could it be that the old lady's eyes were not blind from crying, but because of the yin qi surrounding the eyes?

I couldn't help but look at the old lady again, but now the old lady was wiping her tears, and I was embarrassed to look at other people's eyes, so wouldn't I be pouring salt on other people's wounds, so I should pay attention to them for a while.

After a while, Jinsuo's daughter-in-law made dinner, a pot full of chicken, and a few special dishes from the mountain village, I couldn't name them, and I was too embarrassed to ask.

Jin Suo took a bottle of liquor, first poured a glass for Youlao, just about to pour it for me, I said I don't know how to drink, Jin Suo is also real, seeing that I shirked it, he didn't let it go deeper, and poured himself a glass, so he began to talk without a word.

But this atmosphere is really a little depressing, the old lady put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating a few bites, the golden lock daughter-in-law hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring the old lady a bowl of hot soup, smelling its taste should be herbs or something, the old lady groped for the broken bowl, drank it one by one, and the golden lock and the golden lock daughter-in-law almost did not say much.

Lao to feel a little awkward at the beginning, three sips of wine and began to eat and drink, to be honest, I really envy Lao to give this, big heart! Except for the chicken thief, nothing goes to the heart, maybe the heart is wide and fat is this kind of person.

The old man is now guarding a pot of chicken alone, nibbling on it, without the slightest discomfort, and from time to time he pours himself to drink, and the one who eats is called a happy. If Songqi is also here at this time, I'm afraid he won't be so at ease.

Suddenly thinking of Songqi, a trace of worry flashed in his heart, and then he was sent by the old lady's questioning.

"You don't think you're from this neighborhood, right?"

"Yes, auntie, I'm from the Northeast. ”

When the old lady heard that we were from the Northeast, she couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked, "The Northeast? That's quite far away from here, what are you doing here?"

I hesitated for a moment and said, "We... We're out and about. ”

"Yes, we're out to practice!" the old man interjected.

"Are you Taoist priests?"

I smiled and said, "We are not Taoists, we are monks, that is, people who practice at home, and there is a difference between us and the monks in the monasteries. ”

The old lady's family heard that I and Lao Yu were monks, and they couldn't help but get energetic, and Jin Suo also looked at us with interest and asked: "The two little brothers look so young, especially Nangong Brother, they look so exquisite, when I first saw Nangong Brother, I thought I was dazzled, and I was too handsome, how can I look like this... What did you do with the monks?"

I couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this, it's still exquisite, I'm about to be decadent now without washing my face and combing my hair, I used to be called delicate when I was working at school, I can't wait to take off and change three times every day, it takes half an hour to wash my face, and now my hair is long, and my face is not washed, and the whole person feels empty except for cultivation is cultivation, and the rest of the time feels empty, and how can I have that leisure to clean up.

At this time, Lao Yu had almost eaten, took the chicken bones and picked at his teeth and said, "I don't know if you have heard of the Hu family and the Nangong family in the northeast?"

The Jinsuo family immediately thought for a while when they heard this, and then shook their heads in unison, and the old man gave a wine burp, and began to talk in the vernacular, and told the glorious history of the two families again, and then looked at the expressions of the three members of the Jinsuo family, obviously listening to the story.

Although the Jin Suo family doesn't know about the Xuanmen, but listening to what the old man said is very mysterious, sweeping away the gloom when we first met, I said in my heart that the old man is not useless for this broken mouth, at least there is a great entertainment effect.

Lao Yu spittled on the side, I could only echo from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally saw the old lady's eyes, this time I promise not to be mistaken, the old lady's eyes are obviously shrouded in two clouds of yin qi, and it is obvious under a closer look.

How could a normal living person have such a heavy amount of yin qi on his body, and it only gathered on his eyes? Needless to say, there must be something wrong here!

After the old man finished commenting on the book, I asked the old lady tentatively: "Auntie, I don't think your eyes are normal blind, can you tell us what is going on with your eyes?"

When the old man saw me say this, he burped at an inopportune time and looked into the old lady's eyes.

When Jin Suo and the old lady heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then they both hesitated, as if this was something they were very reluctant to touch.

The old lady couldn't help but start to grieve, put down the medicine bowl in her hand, and began to wipe her tears again, and the daughter-in-law of the golden lock also turned around and walked out of the door, as if she didn't want to mention this appreciation of the past again.

Jin Suo glanced at his daughter-in-law who walked out of the door, picked up the wine glass and poured all the wine into his mouth, then swallowed it with a frown. As the alcohol passed through his esophagus, the spicy burning sensation made Jin Suo feel more irritated than he had ever been, and his expression calmed down a lot.

Jin Suo said: "If you want to talk about this, you have to start with the small temple at the head of the village..."

Then the golden lock began to speak...

Three hundred years ago, this was originally a barren mountain and wilderness, there was no human population at all, and there was a small town not far from here, and I can't remember what the name of that town was Golden Lock.

It is said that there was a plague in the town one year, and soon the imperial court sent down some silver taels for disaster relief and prescriptions for treating the plague, but the local parents and officials saw that Qian Yan was full of conscience, so they embezzled the silver taels for disaster relief. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it is useless to buy medicine without silver or two, even if there is a prescription for the night.

Seeing the people in the town dying one by one, the local parents and officials just ignored it, but they got a lot of medicinal materials to treat the plague, and hid in the government every day and kept their doors closed.

At that time, there was a hunter living in the town, who had been hunting in the mountains all the year round, and still knew a little about medicinal materials.

The two of them walked and stopped on the mountain, wearing a cloak for more than ten days, but only picked a few herbs, but what made the father and son happy was that they picked a ginseng, which looked like it was hundreds of years old, so the father and son planned to rush back to the town and boil the herbs and ginseng into a decoction for the people to drink, maybe they could save a few more lives.

But on the way back, they encountered a strange thing.

Jin Suo didn't say anything about this, but he was listening to it energetically, and seeing that Jin Suo didn't go down, he hurriedly urged: "I said Brother Jin Suo, why don't you go on, what strange things happened to their father and son?"
