Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Midnight Messenger
When I returned to Anru's home, the corn paste in the pot was already cooked, exuding an attractive aroma.
She still silently served me a big bowl of it as usual, and finally peeled an egg for me to eat, but she didn't have any for herself.
When I handed the egg to her, she shook her head silently.
Later, I broke the egg into two pieces and gave it to her, and she smiled shyly and gently.
All this gave me an illusion that nothing had happened today, just like usual. I was still honestly recuperating in the house, and she was still busy outside. When she came back, we had dinner together, chatted, and then went back to our rooms.
There were several times when I almost blurted out.
But looking at her eating silently with her head down, the words came to my lips and were swallowed into my stomach.
I couldn't ask, who is lying between you and Xiao Mi? Are you a human or a ghost? What's your intention? !
Maybe, that would hurt her.
Even I, I am afraid it is difficult to escape the questioning in my heart. I owe her a life, and now I still owe her more. Perhaps I will never ask these questions before I thoroughly understand what happened here.
I know too well that words are like knives. If you are not careful, they will hurt people, and the wounds are more difficult to heal than the skin and flesh.
But how can I figure out everything here?
After returning to the house, I slammed myself heavily on the kang, holding the back of my head with both hands, staring at the beams covered with dust with lifeless eyes, and quietly thinking about Xiao Mi's words.
My intuition told me that Xiao Mi's warning should not be taken lightly.
In theory, ghosts are not to be believed, especially when Xiao Mi looks fierce and obviously died violently, such ghosts are even more unbelievable.
In comparison, I should believe An Ru more. After all, this life was given by An Ru, which is an ironclad fact.
But there was always a voice in my heart telling me that if I didn't listen to Xiao Mi, I would definitely suffer a great loss. This place was too weird. I always felt that I seemed to have been shrouded by a huge evil net without any sound.
Unknowingly, a day passed.
At night, Heixiazigou was even more silent.
The cold wind blew through the window, and the sound it made was like a demon lying beside my ear and whimpering. The whole village was dark and there was no light.
After thinking for a whole day, I still had no clue. I sighed and just wanted to observe slowly for a while. There would always be a day when the truth would come out. I made the bed and prepared to cover my head and sleep.
Dong Dong Dong!
At this time, three subtle knocks on the door sounded.
I sat up from the bed "swoosh", and I felt a force tightening my scalp. My whole body was tense, and I squinted my eyes and thought.
There is no doubt that this is definitely not An Ru, because this girl has no habit of knocking on the door.
So, could it be Xiao Mi?
Probably not!
People knock three times, ghosts knock four times, Xiao Mi's ghost nature has not faded, if she comes to knock on the door, it must be four times with a uniform rhythm and the same length, which is not something she can control, it is her nature.
After hesitating for a moment, I decided to find out. This village is like a pool of stagnant water, which makes me have no idea where to start. Several adventures of life and death have made me understand a truth. If a big event is inevitable, as long as there is a chance to take advantage of it, you must not give up the initiative to attack.
At this moment, I held the Tianguan Blade tightly, touched the door quietly, took several deep breaths in a row, and quickly opened the door.
Outside the door, there was nothing, only a fat gray pigeon lying lazily outside the door.
To be precise, this is a wild one, which should be called a turtledove.
"Scare me!"
I cursed in a low voice and closed the door.
Dong Dong Dong!
The knock on the door sounded again.
Needless to say, it must be that fat turtle dove.
I ignored it, but the knock on the door continued every three or five days, and it was endless. In the end, I was a little annoyed. I opened the door angrily and prepared to drive the fat turtle dove away. As a result, this thing was more arrogant than me. Before I had time to get angry, it tilted its head and looked at me, squinting its eyes and "cooing" non-stop. Its little eyes were clearly looking at a big fool.
As for who the big fool was, there is no need to say more.
I was already upset enough, but I was despised by a bird. I immediately got angry and kicked the fat turtle dove away with one foot, and turned back to the house.
But, the moment I lay on the kang, my originally lifeless eyes suddenly brightened!
Something is wrong! !
Let alone how human this turtle dove is, there is something wrong with this village alone!
It's too desolate, like a pool of stagnant water! !
Apart from the chickens raised by An Ru's family, I haven't seen a single living thing since I came here.
Even though it's winter now and everything is quiet, the mountains shouldn't be so deserted. Apart from other things, there should be at least a few birds flying in the sky, right?
However, since I came here, this fat turtle dove is the only flying bird I have seen!
In this way, doesn't this fat turtle dove seem to be different?
I immediately put on my cotton coat, jumped off the ground, and rushed out of the house. The fat turtle dove just stood up from the ground and walked towards me again indomitable. The right wing suddenly spread out and pointed at me, and one of the feathers stood up mischievously.
This is clearly giving me the middle finger! !
I was shocked, but I wasn't angry this time. I subconsciously looked at An Ru's room. It was dark inside and seemed to be asleep. I waved to the fat turtle dove, and it glanced at me sideways, and then flew away.
To be honest, this is the first time I have seen such a naughty turtledove.
However, the other party was obviously sent by something, and I didn't know what the intention was. I couldn't just kill it to make soup, so I hurriedly chased it.
The village at night became more and more terrifying.
The abandoned houses were dark, and I always felt that something was peeping at me inside.
The fat turtledove flew towards the head of the village. From An Ru's home to the head of the village, there was only a narrow dirt road that could only accommodate one person. The temperature was low at night, and the dirt road had already frozen. The whole thing was an ice slope. I was so focused on chasing the fat turtledove that I didn't pay attention to my feet. I slipped and almost rolled down the ravine. I was scared and sweated. I realized that the terrain of Heixiazigou was complicated. If I wanted to get out, I might have to step on it carefully, otherwise it would be easy to get into trouble.
The fat turtledove "fluttered" and landed in front of me, tilted its head to look at me, and kept "cooing". The sound seemed to be mocking me - you waste.
I took the opportunity to grab its neck, lifted it up and threw it to the ground a few times, feathers flying all over the ground. The other party was honest and led the way in a listless manner.
Soon, I had arrived at the village head.
I had some impression of this. I came here to see it when I was exploring the road during the day. There was only a narrow rotten wooden door, which was a bit like the village where some ethnic minorities lived in the southwest.
At this time, behind this rotten wooden door, on a huge bluestone, a person was sitting there quietly, with his back to me, facing the mountains dancing with clouds and darkness.
This is a woman, with a head of black hair flying in the wind, but her clothes are not like those of modern people. It is clearly the coldest day, but her clothes are not bloated. She is wearing a decent white dress that is spotless, and the skirt is flying, which makes her look like a fairy.
I slowed down my pace and looked at the woman hesitantly. I always felt that her back was familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her for a while.
As soon as the fat turtle dove saw the woman, it immediately "fluttered" towards her, landed in her arms, raised its head and kept "cooing", like a proud baby, accusing me of violence against it.
"Hehe..."
The woman chuckled, her laughter was very magnetic, but a little cold. She poked the fat turtle dove's head with her white and slender fingers, and then whispered: "I told you a long time ago, don't look at people with squinting eyes. If you meet someone with a bad temper, I'm afraid I will catch you, wash you and stew you. It's a great mercy that they didn't take your life!"
The voice was also very familiar.
I followed her step by step. The woman was very calm, and didn't look back at me. She raised her arm, and there was a wine gourd in her hand. She raised her head and drank in the wind.
I have to say that when she drank, she was not as ugly as other drunken people, but she was unspeakably free and easy!
If I couldn't tell anything from her back, I was very familiar with the wine gourd!
For a moment, I was shocked. I never expected to see her here - the messenger of the Heavenly Alliance, Qingzhu! !
