After I rushed out of the room holding Poor, I still didn't see anything. I can't take care of that much now. I walked to the courtyard gate, pulled the latch gently, and got out of the way.
"Poor, don't move, don't talk nonsense." I fear that there will be something wrong with Xiaopoi at this time, and while holding her walking, I said: "Close your eyes, don't open your eyes when you hear anything."
"Yeah." Little poor pity has always been very obedient. As soon as I said, she closed her eyes.
I didn't know where to go. After hesitating outside the courtyard, I walked towards the path. After only a few steps, I felt that something was wrong. When I came, it was already late at night, and most of the households in this small village turned off their lights to sleep, and the village was dark.
However, when I want to leave the same way now, the lights in every household seem to be on. As a result, I became even more uneasy, holding a little pitiful, without distraction, I just wanted to leave before talking.
Squeak...
I kept hearing the sound of the houses on both sides opening the yard doors. After the creaking door opened, there seemed to be people shaking in every yard.
I looked back, and the old man's family didn't seem to be chasing him.
I hugged Poor and walked for a while, and some people were faintly sitting outside the front yard doors. This is the only way out of the village. If you don't go from here, you will have to cross the wall. I bite the bullet and walked over, feeling uncomfortable.
I saw outside a yard not far away, an old woman was sitting on a pony. The old woman was very old, her hair was about to fall out, and she was wearing a white dress covered with dirt and dust. I am from the river beach, and I am very familiar with the rural folk customs of the river beach. I immediately recognized that the old woman was wearing a dirty shroud.
At this moment, I don't know what to do, but staying here is definitely not the way. I have to think about it quickly and still have to go.
I simply didn't look to the sides, and walked straight forward. The old woman in the white shroud didn't move either, but just sat on the pony, bent over, lowered her head, and looked at me secretly.
Her movements and the look in her eyes made me feel shocked.
"Shibei shop, Shibei shop..."
Just when I was uneasy, the little poor didn't know what was going on, and was humming the song just now. I have never heard this ballad before, but the sound of the ballad spread to my ears, and I got goose bumps all over my body.
"Little poor." I held Little poor and walked forward, and asked: "Why are you starting to sing again?"
"The little brother and the little sister told me stories. They said that Shibeidian used to be a village." It's not that Xiaopoi didn't listen to me, but still closed his eyes and said to me: "Later, this village is gone..."
"Shibeidian was indeed a village before." At this time, an old man sitting in a dark corner of the wall continued with a little pitiful words, "The village was hit by soldiers and everyone died..."
The village of Shibeidian was a place where stonemasons gathered long ago, specializing in making stone steles on the head of the grave. This was the case for many generations before and after. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were several battles here. Except for a few people in the village who fled, the rest of the people died in the chaos.
The village was completely deserted. Later, the dead were confined and buried next to the village. Over time, this
The place became a mass grave.
I don't want to listen to this old man's words, but every word seems to have penetrated into my ears invisibly. I was full of panic, and the more I looked at this village, the more I felt something was wrong.
Now there is no extra time to think about it, I just want to take Xiaopoi away from here. After walking all the way, there were people sitting at the gates of the yard on both sides, old and young, faintly, and you could still hear the sound of hammers and chisels beating stones.
Fortunately, these people just watched, and no one came up to stop them. Poor and I quickly reached the end of the two rows of houses. As long as we walked past the tall gatehouse at the entrance of the village, we even left the village.
However, I saw a few people sitting on the other side of the gate, and when I saw these people, my head grew bigger. This is clearly the family that took in me and the poor little one.
Old man, old woman, their son, and daughter. The four people were sitting upright over there, as if they knew that Poor and I were going to escape, and were waiting for us here on a special trip.
At this moment, I regretted that I had chosen this path. However, after thinking about it, I can also imagine that since this family has been eyeing me and Poor, no matter which way we go, they will be eyeing it.
I have already got here, and then turn around and leave, obviously it is too late.
"What do you want to do?" I hugged Poor, standing on the side of the gatehouse, and asked them.
"Little brother..." Little poor pity opened her eyes at this time. As soon as she opened her eyes, her eyes lit up. She looked behind me and waved her hand gently: "You are here..."
I subconsciously turned my head and took a look, and at a glance, I saw two children standing behind me at a glance.
The two children, a boy and a girl, looked a little older than Little Poor, just as Little Poor had said before. These two children were dressed in red and white clothes, and looked so dazzling and dazzling in the night.
In fact, the two children have beautiful eyebrows, but when I suddenly saw them at this time and place, there was a chill on the soles of my feet. The chill began to spread along the body, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into the ice cellar.
At this time, the four members of the Yi family slowly stood up. I saw that the road ahead and the back road were blocked, and I thought that this matter would definitely not be good. There was no other way but to grit your teeth.
However, what I didn't expect was that after the family stood up, they suddenly fell to their knees. As a result, I was immediately confused, and I really couldn't guess what they were going to do.
The family knelt on the ground and said nothing, just staring at me blankly. I was dizzy, and the fear in my heart was mixed with deep doubts.
However, after I watched it for a while, I suddenly noticed it again. It seemed that it was not me that they were looking at, but poor little.
"It's really helpless to make such a bad move..." The old man babbled for a long time, and finally spoke: "Just a little medicine to save my daughter's life..."
"Give me the medicine?" I was shocked. There was no other medicinal materials on my body except ordinary trauma medicine. The family asked me to give me medicine. I didn't understand what it meant.
"You... the child in your arms..." The old man looked at me confused, completely unable to understand what he was saying, and hurriedly pointed to the poor little pitiful, and said: "She..."
"What do you want
NS! ? "As soon as I saw that he had pointed the finger at Little Poor, he was alert at the time, and took a step back with her in his arms.
"Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand..." The old man saw that my face was full of hostility, and hurriedly explained: "This child has a rare spiritual root. Even if we eat the bear heart and leopard courage, we dare not touch her hair. …"
I was confused again, and couldn't help but look at Little Poor, who also looked ignorant. I don't know what the spiritual root of the old man is, but I am still on guard.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." I always feel uncomfortable watching the family kneeling in front of me: "Stand up and say it."
"Get up, all get up." The old man asked the family to stand up and said: "We can't do anything. Originally I thought, you guys stay here for one night, if you can pick up one or two hairs of this child on the bed tomorrow , That's good luck, I didn't expect... I didn't expect the two dolls of my family to be naughty and shocked you..."
The old man knew that I was hostile and defensive, so he stood still and told me about the general matter.
The woman I met before was his daughter, who was ill but could not be cured. The boy and the girl were the grandson and granddaughter of the old man. It was also extremely accidental today that these two dolls met Little Poor by accident, and they played with Little Poor for a while.
These two dolls are not ordinary people. They can recognize that Little Poor has spiritual roots.
I don’t know how to explain the spiritual roots. In folklore, some wild animals such as foxes and weasels are spiritual. With spirituality, it is possible to practice Taoism. If it is for good luck, then after a long time of practice, it can be transformed into a human form.
This is the reason why people are said to be the spirit of all things. Other things have been painstakingly practiced for one hundred or five hundred years, just to transform into a human form. Once a person is born, he does not need to practice for a day, he is in human form. Compared with people, the spirituality of these wild animals is like a leaf on a big tree.
Compared with people with spiritual roots, ordinary people are like another leaf on a big tree.
The old man said for a long time, I still know a little bit, but I have already heard that the little poor is not an ordinary child.
"Spiritual roots are extremely rare, and there may not be one in a hundred years." The old man said: "A person with spiritual roots is born with great luck and great fortune."
The old man said this, and I thought about it myself, there might be a little bit of truth. Little poor has a miserable life, and lost his parents at a young age, wandering outside, on the dangerous river beach, in addition to cannibal wolves, there are also unblinking sand bandits, traffickers who abduct human beings, and little poor have been wandering for so long. , Has been safe and sound.
This is probably not the luck that ordinary people should have.
"Brother, don't be afraid." After the old man finished speaking, he said to me: "Don't talk about our family, this child will not be harmed, even if someone wants to harm her, we will never agree. Make a good relationship with her. , It’s good for us, brother, everything I say is the truth."
Fearing that I would not believe it, the old man explained it to me again. Their family has lived in Shibeidian for a long time. The old man's surname is Hu. Just as Xiaopoi said to me before, she saw this family member with a tail behind them. This old man Hu's family are all foxes.
