Version 163
As if Master Puhui didn't see the envy of their eyes, he pulled out the information he wanted from the pile of information.
After extracting the information, I wiped the dirty things up and placed it on the table.
The crowd looked around.
Gu Huaiyu was holding a flashlight in his hand and illuminating the information on the document.
Unlike the hand-painted portraits of Xu Jiazhai, the information about them living in the countryside actually has photos, although they are old photos, black and white with a little blurry reflection.
But it looks much more real than hand-painted.
There are two photos, one is a photo of an old lady with a wrinkled face bending over to pick something from the ground, and the other is a photo of the old house.
These two photos alone are nothing, but if you contact them just now, it will give people an inexplicable feeling of chills.
The old lady in the photo seems to have just turned her head when she heard a sound. Although the facial features on the other's face are not very clear, the look in her eyes seems to give people a gloomy feeling, plus hers. A wrinkled and shriveled face, at first glance, I know that it is not the kind of person who is easy to talk.
Master Puhui pointed to the photo of the old lady, and said, “This photo was taken by a foreigner when he went to the countryside to collect the scenery. Because of this photo, the old lady Xu had a fight with the foreigner. But to be precise, it should be unilateral abuse."
The young man glanced at the photo, and then heard Master Puhui say so, he couldn't help but slapped his mouth, "Why are they arguing?"
Master Pratt and Whitney glanced at him and pointed to the information below the photo angrily, "Here is the record of Thomas at the time. I can get this in my hands, and I have lost a lot of effort." Then, the monk couldn't bear it. The resident muttered, "If you didn't have to wade into the muddy water, I wouldn't have bothered."
Hearing what he said, the young man scratched his head in embarrassment.
I knew that this was actually the case. He said that he would not come here. It was not worth it for the sake of that little face.
Master Puhui couldn't see what he thought, so he hummed softly and didn't care about him.
Gu Huaiyu picked up the document and looked at it carefully. When he saw the reason why they quarreled on it, he couldn't help but slap his tongue. "This old lady Xu actually said that because Thomas had taken pictures without her consent, It's not that she has profound spiritual power. It is estimated that the camera has already captured her soul."
These words sound pretty funny now, but in that era, plus this old woman had never seen the world, when she saw her appearance out of a small piece of paper, it was probably true. I think so.
"Huh?" The middle-aged man who had been silent for a while made a questioning voice, and then reached out to Gu Huaiyu, asking her to show her the information, "Why do I think the people on this are so familiar, and this house? ."
Seeing that he had an impression of these two, Gu Huaiyu handed him the information.
The middle-aged man took a look at the information, then nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I did read it."
Everyone’s eyes fell on him, and the middle-aged man paused and said, “To be precise, this photo is what I saw at my grandma’s house when I was a child, but that photo is different from this one, it’s my grandma and the others. For the older ones, the group will find a foreigner to take pictures together, saying that it is to keep a memory for themselves."
Speaking, the middle-aged man pointed to the house behind the old lady, "At that time, my grandma's house was not far from her house, it was just across an alley. When I was young, I went there to explore with a few other friends."
Speaking of this, a look of nostalgia appeared on the face of the middle-aged man.
The young man was a little anxious, so he interrupted his memory and asked him the key point, "Then did your grandma say anything about this old woman?!"
The middle-aged man glanced at him sideways and snorted, "What's the hurry?" Then he continued, "My grandma doesn't know much, but everyone in the village knows about this old woman Xu."
"It seems to mean that she was not originally from the village, and she didn't know where she was. Anyway, the clothes she was wearing felt a bit strange and she couldn't understand her words, or she would speak their dialect after staying in the village for a long time. "
The middle-aged man paused, "At first, everyone in the village said that she was a nice person and very warm-hearted, but since the birth of her child, she has been like a different person, talking to herself all day, like I'm talking to something, and I often sigh."
When Master Puhui heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Her child is Xuzhou?"
The middle-aged man hummed softly, "It's him. I heard that since she was born in Xuzhou, she has become a little nervous, especially when she sees the children in the village, her eyes are like looking for something, but The time interval is too long, and many people who know what happened later are gone. As for the others..."
He expressed regret, "I was too young at that time. Although I was curious to have inquired about her, it seemed that the adults in the village all had a unified voice, and no one would say anything about their home."
Later, out of curiosity, he surreptitiously ran to the dilapidated house and searched it, but apart from the rotten wood and the rubbish on the floor, he found nothing useful.
This is the child's curiosity. When he can't find anything, he turns his head and throws it behind his head.
If he hadn't seen that photo again today, he wouldn't be able to remember this.
Gu Huaiyu caught the point of his words, "You mean that Old Lady Xu was not originally from the village, and the clothes and accent that she wears are not like people from other places?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't understand why she asked, he nodded honestly, "I remember saying that."
Gu Huaiyu gave a hum, staring at the old woman Xu in the photo, and then said after a moment, "I think I guessed right before, she is the witch who prayed with the child."
When I heard Gu Huaiyu say that the old lady is a witch, the young man opened her mouth wide, and she didn’t believe it, “No, this witch looks like this, isn’t she wearing a white dress and a red skirt, a beautiful young girl. ?!"
Gu Huaiyu glanced at him, and she suspected that the focus of this guy's words just now was the young and beautiful girl.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sighed, "What are you thinking about, the witch will grow old, how can she always maintain a young and beautiful appearance, but depending on the situation, she should belong to the escaped witch."
Gu Huaiyu looked at the middle-aged man and asked him, "Is your village very close to the border of Hu Jiu."
The middle-aged man understood what she meant, and then nodded affirmatively, "It's really close."
