Rong Xian's footsteps stopped at the second house, the wooden door was tightly chained, and the dim light of the house was looming.
It seems that people haven't slept yet.
The corners of Rong Xian's mouth were slightly raised, and she stepped forward and knocked on the door lightly.
'Boom dong dong'
The dull sound of the wooden door reverberated in the night, three times at a time, unhurriedly, and clearly passed into the owner's ears.
The woman was putting the child to sleep when she heard a knock on the door and raised her voice and shouted, "Who is it, it's this big night."
She shouted towards the backyard: "Master, someone knocked on the door, go and see if I have something to do with you."
The man put away a pile of wormwood, and before he could light it, he heard his mother-in-law's cry.
With the buzzing of mosquitoes in his ears, the man walked out of the door a little irritably and came towards the yard.
"Who?" the man asked impatiently.
Rong Xian stopped knocking on the door, she turned the side of the lantern to herself, and then said warmly, "I came from a long way to visit the Immortal Temple, but I got lost in the mountains. Come to stay for the night, and I hope the host will agree."
When the man heard these words, he suddenly felt a little shorter.
He is a farmer, and when he hears it, he is a very polite son, and people from different classes always feel inferior.
The man muttered subconsciously: "Why did you come here when you went to Qingshan to worship the temple? This road is not to Qingshan."
The wooden door creaked open, and the man looked down at the person, and found that he couldn't see the person's appearance at all in the night, only the moon-white long gown illuminated by the shroud of white lanterns.
The man suddenly felt unlucky: "Why did you come to the door with a white lantern."
Rong Xian handed over a small piece of broken silver, and said in a good voice: "It's hard to walk at night, so I can only tie a lantern at random, please don't blame the host."
The man's face was overjoyed, he put the broken silver in his mouth and bit it, it was true.
He didn't care whether he was unlucky or not, so he welcomed people in happily and said, "Young master, please come in, I'll let my mother-in-law clean up your room for you. Don't worry, the bedding is all new, and I've never been willing to take it. Come out and use it."
Rong Xian said politely, "It's fine to have a place to stay, thank you very much."
The man smiled and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome."
He hurried back into the house and seemed to say something to the woman. After a while, the man came out and said, "Young master, sit in the house first, drink some water and rest your feet, and the house will be tidy up in a while."
Rong Xian put the lantern on the ground and said, "I'm sorry."
She was so polite, which made men feel that her status must be higher than that of the Duan family scholar in the village, and none of the Duan family scholars have such a good education.
After the man led the man into the house, he said embarrassedly, "It's dark in the house, sir, be careful you bumped into something."
Rong Xian glanced at the room and said meaningfully, "Yes, you have to be careful about bumping into something."
The man diligently wiped clean the only chair in the house, politely asked Rong Xian to sit down, and said, "Sit down first, I'll go see how the house is tidied up."
Rong Xian nodded: "Go."
After the man left, a gloomy wind blew, and Rong Chan stood in front of Rong Xian with a relaxed face.
"Sister, I learned a very interesting game." Rong Chan grinned and smiled very happily.
Rong Xian didn't ask any further questions. The trace of resentment that disappeared from Rong Chan's body showed that she had broken the cage of fear and had already begun to take revenge.
Rong Xian smiled indulgently and said, "You just have to have fun."
After a while, the man walked quickly and said loudly, "Master, the house has been cleaned up for you, and wormwood is hung on the wall, so you are not afraid of mosquitoes."
Rong Xian stood up and said, "Thank you, I don't know if there is clean water. After washing up, I went to rest. After a long day of walking on the mountain, I was tired."
The man was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "I'll call you right now."
After the man left, Rong Chan said with a grim smile: "He has my bones in his body."
The wind blew up, resentment surged to the sky.
She murmured, "He broke my knee and drank wine from my bones,"
Rong Xian's eyes narrowed, and layers of waves appeared.
But in an instant, the turbulence disappeared.
She said calmly, "Chan'er can let them play games with you at night."
Seeing Rong Chan happy, Rong Xian urged, "Don't let others hear it, eh?"
Rong Chan nodded immediately, looking very well-behaved.
Yes, she is only a fourteen-year-old child.
After the man brought two basins of water, Rong Xian wiped her face and hands, and regardless of the coldness of the well water, she soaked her feet and lay down on the bed, then sighed, "This is really tiring."
Rong Xian closed her eyes and fell asleep after a while.
In another room, the man and the woman were lying together, unable to fall asleep.
After midnight, the man sat up abruptly and said, "It's so late, no one else will know that the son-in-law is here, right?"
The woman seemed to have thought of something, and said greedily: "Yes, others don't know that he is here, then we..."
The man got off the kang, picked up the axe on the wall, and said, "Kill him, and the money on him is ours."
"What a good idea." A gentle and sweet voice echoed.
The man said of course: "Of course it's good..."
His voice stopped abruptly, it was wrong, it wasn't his mother-in-law's.
The man clenched the axe and shouted nervously, "Who, come out?"
"Shh, don't shout." The cold touch pressed against his lips, a wisp of yin wind blew in his ear, and the soft, mixed voice sounded reassuring: "Sister is sleeping, you can't wake her up."
The touch of the mouth still exists, but there is no one in front of the man.
He shivered in fear, only to feel that the souls of the dead were all gone.
After the woman heard the voice, she asked suspiciously, "Who is the head of the house?"
Her man can't steal people, right? Could this voice be his man's concubine
Thinking of this, the woman couldn't sit still. She got up and walked towards the man, reaching out and holding the wooden stick beside the bed in her hand: "Who is it?"
In the darkness, Rong Chan's face distorted, blood dripping from her body, and the smell of blood was pungent.
She pouted and said angrily: "You guys are really not good, you all said that you are not allowed to make a sound. What if you wake up my sister."
Her voice fell, and the room was suddenly dead silent.
The darkness soon passed, and at dawn, Rong Xian opened her eyes.
Just as she was about to stand up, she fell down when her legs softened.
She was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was a mortal now.
She made a 'tsk', rubbed her sore legs, felt better, and then went out of the room.
As soon as she walked out of the door, her footsteps stopped.
Rong Xian looked down at the dried blood on the ground, blinked and said, "Did you have fun?"
Rong Chan floated around happily and said, "Happy."
Rong Xian laughed a few times and walked out.
Inadvertently, she saw the owner's house along the crack of the door. The woman was hung high above the beam by a white cloth, and the wind swayed her body.
Rong Xian: Go one family and die one family (╥╯^╰╥)
