How to fall in love with the demon king at first sight
Chapter 44 Demon Village (5)
There is no water in the temple.
I had no choice but to go to Xiaohe's house to wash and have breakfast.
Xiao He was not there, only Xiao He's sister-in-law was sitting in front of the door picking silkworm chrysalis, and the two children climbed a tree and the other collected mulberry leaves in a basket.
There is only half a bucket of water, not enough for four people.
So Mrs. He asked Shi Yin and Qiaoyan to use it first, and asked Xiaoqi to fetch water.
Li Yuntang saw that Xiaoqi was walking towards the ancestral hall, so he asked, "Do you not use the water from the river in front of the village?"
Mrs. He shook her head, "The water on the mountain is cleaner."
Because nothing happened, Li Yuntang stood in the yard and chatted with Xiao He, "Little He is a foreigner, right?"
Little Mrs. He, who was taking out the cocoons one by one from the basket, raised her head and asked, "Can you see it?"
"The accent is different. From Anhui?"
"Ah."
"Then why did you marry here?"
"I came here after fleeing. Seeing that the environment here is good, I stayed."
The other son, Xiaoliu, had nothing to do, and sat on the bench looking at Shi Yin all the time, in a daze.
I thought to myself that no matter how old a man is, he has no resistance to beautiful women.
"How long has Sister-in-law He been married?"
"It's been almost 20 years." Xiao He's sister-in-law lowered her head and picked the mulberry leaves.
There was faint light leaking from the mulberry trees, and even though it should be around nine o'clock in the morning, it was still shady here.
Lu Miao yawned and went to pick some mulberry leaves to feed the silkworms.
The leaves are very tender, and the juice can be seen when the stems and leaves are picked off.
The silkworms were fed so fat that they gnawed wildly along the edges of the leaves with an astonishing amount of food.
"Is there any festival in the village in the morning? I heard everyone walking towards the center of the village?" Li Yuntang asked again.
Aunt He was very surprised, "You can hear it from such a distance?"
"I got up early, and I saw some vaguely at the entrance of the ancestral hall. You gathered together before dawn?"
"Well. Our ancestors' gratitude ceremony. Thank them for giving us land, water and food."
"It's a good habit."
Mrs. He smiled and didn't answer any more.
Lu Miao poked Silkworm's limp body with her hand, when an old lady in blue came in through the fence with a happy expression on her face, "Sister-in-law He, I brought over the Geng Post from Shuangxi's family, take a look!"
Mrs. He immediately put down the basket and stood up to take it.
Gengtie, isn’t it the old days before marriage?
Lu Miao couldn't help raising her head and asked, "Who wants to get married?"
"Little Six and Little Seven." Little Sister He replied.
Lu Miao blinked, stunned, and turned to look at Xiao Liu.
No matter how you look at it, they are all about eleven or twelve years old, definitely not more than 13 years old, and they are about to get married?
Xiao Liu turned his face away when he noticed Lu Miao's gaze, and then turned his head unceremoniously, just like his father's temper.
"Isn't it too young?" Lu Miao said, probably not knowing anything at this age.
"It's not young, it's old enough." The aunt who came in answered immediately, as if she was asking him what an outsider interrupted.
Lu Miao immediately shut up, thinking that the scariest thing about this village was not the ghosts and goblins, but getting married so early.
Mrs. He specially prepared breakfast for them. After the four of them had used it, Li Yuntang planned to go out again, but Qiaoyan refused to accompany them any more, saying only that she had a headache, and hurried back to the ancestral hall.
Lu Miao was a little worried: "Is there something wrong with her?"
"It's okay, don't worry about her, let's go around the village."
Lu Miao thought he was going to the entrance of the village to take another look, but who knew that he would head all the way to the center of the village, and he didn't need to ask anyone, as if he already knew the place well.
It is said to be the center of the village, but it is actually a large open space in front of the village chief's house.
A statue of a goddess carved from stone was placed on the open space. It was more than a foot higher than the ground, and it was bluish white with slight mottled spots.The goddess wears a commoner dress, her hair is tied up, a wide cloth is wrapped around her forehead, her left hand is placed in front of her chest, her right hand is half hanging down, and her index finger sticks out.
The costumes are very similar to those of the village head, and it looks like a village that has worshiped the goddess for generations.
But as soon as he walked over, Lu Miao felt that the eyes of the nearby villagers were all on them.
It's almost like being a hedgehog.
Li Yuntang stared at the statue for a long time, and just about to walk over, Xiao He happened to come out of the village chief's house.
"Don't touch it!" He stood under the eaves and sternly shouted.
"What?" Li Yuntang raised his head.
"This is the goddess of our village, outsiders are not allowed to touch it."
"That's really rude."
Xiao He seemed very dissatisfied with the behavior of their group walking around in the village, and walked down a few steps, "Mr. Li, since you are here as a guest, you must abide by our rules. Please go back to the ancestral hall to rest, don't Moving around affects us."
"We're just walking around."
"If there is no need, don't go out of the ancestral hall. There are many taboos in our village."
Li Yuntang smiled and didn't reply.
Xiao He seemed to want to say something more, so he ran past them in a hurry and whispered to Xiao He for a while.
"Two more people?" Xiao He frowned, "Forget it, let's bring them here."
He turned back into the house.
"Lu Miao, go up and touch the fingertips of the goddess statue." Li Yuntang said suddenly.
"why?"
"I think there must be something in the goddess statue."
"thing?"
"Well, the smell of blood is strong."
Lu Miao couldn't smell it, but——
"Why did you let me touch it? With this posture, they will rush over and beat me as soon as I go forward."
"Well, so I want you to go, God is not good at fighting with people."
"..."
He had never seen such a brazen god.
Lu Miao remained motionless.
Not long after, as if Xiao He had finished reporting, the cold village chief came out with Xiao He. She was still in the same outfit as yesterday, and the slight sunlight made her face soft and white, but there was clearly no friendliness on her face. Word.
Those eyes that had shrunk somewhat were still very clear, so the gaze that fell on them was also extremely cold, like snow on the top of a mountain.
An old man has such dignity, no wonder he is the head of the village.
Those eyes were beautiful, and they must have been beautiful when they were young.
Footsteps came from behind.
Lu Miao turned around and saw the people from the village leading two people over, but he was familiar with the figure of the people who came over, and it took him nearly ten seconds to recognize them before he realized: "Brother Jiang?"
Jiang Dongze stopped in front of him, "Lu Miao."
Never thinking that Jiang Dongze would appear here, Lu Miao was so shocked that he didn't know what to say for a moment.
But soon, someone broke the silence.Behind Jiang Dongze was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who seemed to have discovered a treasure. He walked forward quickly, held Shi Yin's hands and raised them up. His eyes sparkled, "Beautiful lady, I fell in love with you at first sight!"
Everyone present: "..."
Shi Yin let go of his hand and said in a calm tone, "Sorry, I'm not interested in you."
"But I have, what do you like?"
Lu Miao thought to herself: You are trying to die.
Sure enough, Li Yuntang reminded gently, "Young man, don't take action on other people's fiancées rashly."
The young man stared at Li Yuntang, unwilling to back down.
Lu Miao felt that he looked familiar, very familiar.
That back...he had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly said: "Ah, that thief!"
Hearing this, the teenager turned around, "Oh, that person who was yelling in the bathroom."
Lu Miao rushed over and grabbed his collar, "Give me back my bag!"
The young man patted Lu Miao on the shoulder, smiling brightly, "Young man, don't be so impulsive."
In an instant, so fast that even Lu Miao didn't see clearly, he broke free.
Jiang Dongze turned to him and asked, "Did you take his bag?"
"I just picked it up by accident." Shanfeng replied casually, his eyes were glued to Shi Yin's body as if he was nailed, and he covered his heart with his hands, and said in a drunken way: "My heart is beating so hard, it turns out that this It was love at first sight.”
Everyone present: "..."
"Give him back the bag." Jiang Dongze said.
"I gave it to Baiyang. Find him next time and get it back." Shanfeng continued to answer casually.
At this time, there were several sounds of the crutches being stationed in the front, and the village chief lowered his gaze and walked down step by step.
"It seems that you are friends?"
friend?Lu Miao found that Li Yuntang was looking at him, and Jiang Dongze was also looking at him.
So he nodded, "That's right."
"That's good. We'll entertain you together. Come with me."
The patriarch turned around, but Lu Miao felt that she was not looking at them with snow, but with ice.
They follow.
Li Yuntang walked on Shi Yin's left side, and the thief stuck to Shi Yin's right side like a sticky cake, smiling lewdly.
Lu Miao in the back row quietly asked Jiang Dongze: "Brother Jiang, why are you with this thief?"
"I heard it."
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Dongze suddenly reached out and grabbed something in front of his eyes.
Unfold it, the palm of your hand is a stone.
Jiang Dongze looked forward in displeasure, and the boy turned around and made a grimace.
Lu Miao knew that it was Jiang Dongze who helped him block that person's prank.
"Is he also a demon?"
"Well. It's called Shanfeng."
"Be a good monster and steal other people's things." Lu Miao was furious.
"Don't scold him, he doesn't like others scolding him."
Lu Miao just wanted to retort, but then held back, not being as familiar with a monster—mainly because Li Yuntang or Jiang Dongze were not around, he would definitely not be able to beat that monster.
"Did you also enter the cocoon?"
"Hmm." Jiang Dongze actually had something to ask Lu Miao, "That person is not Tang Xiu, who is he?"
"It's a good thing you didn't mistake them. His name is Li Yuntang, and he is also a god."
"Li Yuntang?"
Lu Miao raised her head, curious, "Why, do you know each other?"
Jiang Dongze nodded: "Yes. A very powerful god."
Li Yuntang is so powerful, even Jiang Dongze has heard of him?
"Where did Tang Xiu go?" Jiang Dongze continued to ask.
"I don't know either. He said he had something to do, so he didn't come with us."
Jiang Dongze was thoughtful.
"You don't have to be afraid when you come. Although Li Yuntang is powerful, he is very tricky. Brother Jiang is more reliable." Lu Miao said sincerely.
Jiang Dongze smiled and looked at him fixedly, "Yes."
The road seemed to lead to the ancestral hall, and inexplicably, more and more people followed them, and they were all men, following them neatly, as if to prevent them from escaping.
This posture is almost going to swallow them alive.
Lu Miao was a little scared and moved closer to Jiang Dongze.
When they passed by the door of Xiao He's house, Xiao He's sister-in-law was still watching them worriedly, but Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi excitedly followed and joined the team.
When they arrived at the ancestral hall, the village head stopped and said to them: "I know that you all came to investigate the disappearance of Miss Liu. Indeed, that incident has something to do with us. Miss Liu was placed in a very secret place by us. place, I can give her to you."
Xiao He lifted the red cloth under Zhong Kui's statue, and there was an empty square in the middle of the table.
The village chief stretched his crutches in, turned slightly, and the entire rear wall slowly moved away, revealing a dark passageway.
"I'll take you in."
There was a slight smile in the eyes of the village head, but Lu Miao felt the creeps.
I had no choice but to go to Xiaohe's house to wash and have breakfast.
Xiao He was not there, only Xiao He's sister-in-law was sitting in front of the door picking silkworm chrysalis, and the two children climbed a tree and the other collected mulberry leaves in a basket.
