Chapter 512 The Soul of Another World
"Co-author, were they the ones who pushed our bullock cart back?"
"No wonder the resentment is so heavy..." Xie Yuzhou's eyes widened in shock. Sure enough, Lu Chaochao could use the trick to push the cart.
Ah Man was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a while.
"My dear, after so many years of living, this is the first time I've encountered something like this."
Fortunately, there was no danger and we returned to the village safely.
Then she looked at the old cow with distress. This was the bullock cart that she bought after selling snail noodles for half a year.
When Xie Yuzhou saw that Lao Niu was injured, he simply didn't go up and walked with her into the village.
It was already late at night, and the village had already closed its doors.
Hearing the noise outside the door, someone secretly opened the window and took a look. When he saw Aman, there was a bang...
Close the window immediately.
"I was born in a coffin and was born inauspicious. The village doesn't like to talk to me." She smiled awkwardly, looking a little disappointed.
"How could it be ominous? Your mother is dead and you can still be born safely. This should be a great blessing."
"You can live well, and your deceased mother should be very happy."
Ah Man was startled and suddenly felt that this carefree young man had some Buddha nature.
"Okay, I will live a good life."
"I haven't found my scumbag father yet, and I haven't handed over to my mother yet."
She has lived in the village for more than ten years, and everyone in the village avoids her like a snake or a scorpion. Except for the grandmother, the entire village does not speak to her.
Now, with two more friends, it's really interesting.
Several people walked through the village and came to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Ah Man pointed at the lush mountain behind him, with bitterness in his mouth: "My mother went missing into that mountain. When she came back, she was already pregnant with me."
"I have wanted to enter the mountain countless times, but there is fog and evil spirits in the mountain, so I can only linger on the periphery. I have entered the mountain several times but returned without success."
"That's all, don't mention these boring things."
The single-family courtyard at the foot of the mountain is slightly quiet. The wooden door is closed, the fence is used as a wall, and many vegetables are grown inside.
"Grandma, I'm home. Open the door quickly." Her voice was a little abrupt under the moonlight.
After a while, the lights were lit in the house.
The old man opened the wooden door with slow steps.
"Grandma, I'm back. These are the two little benefactors I met today who came to stay at home." She smiled. The moment the old man saw her, his eyes suddenly sank.
"Why are you back again? Today... today is your engagement day!"
Aman's eyes were slightly dark and he lowered his head.
"Well, Ah Man doesn't want to get married anymore. He wants to protect his grandmother and stay with her." With tears in her eyes, she coaxed the old lady.
The old lady patted the back of her hand hard, and the back of her hand was a little red.
"What are you doing with me? At my age, I will die sooner or later! If you are helpless, who will support you in the future?"
"That family is a butcher, and they have murderous intentions. They will definitely be able to control your horoscope!"
"Go back quickly! The sooner we get married, the sooner I will feel at ease!"
"Why are you pestering me every day? You have a bad fate. If you stay with me, you will defeat me!" The old lady glared angrily, her words showing her harshness.
Ah Man lowered his head and shed tears.
"I don't want to get married, and I don't want to harm anyone. If my grandmother is afraid of me, I will move to my mother's grave and build a thatched house to survive!"
The old lady was so angry that she fell backwards: "You...you..."
Xie Yuzhou showed his head from outside the door: "Grandma, that family is dead. I heard that the butcher committed a murder a few years ago. Yesterday, the enemy came to seek revenge and the whole family was killed."
"Even the eggs were shaken and turned yellow."
The old lady hesitated.
"Sister Aman, she still..."
"Yu Zhou!" Ah Man suddenly shouted sharply, interrupting Xie Yuzhou's words.
Xie Yuzhou pinched her mouth and did not dare to say anything about her jumping into the river.
The old lady looked at her carefully and saw that her clothes had a fishy smell, as if she had risen from the water and been dried.
There were dried water plants hanging in her hair.
The old lady's eyes were slightly hot, and she said fiercely: "Why don't you come in quickly, why are you standing outside the door!"
The little old lady walked quickly, pushed Aman's hand away, and walked quickly into the house.
As I walked, I secretly wiped away my tears.
"This damn thief is not a good thing! It hurts me, and it hurts that pretty girl!" The old lady's curses could be heard faintly in the house.
Wait for a few people to move things into the house.
An oil lamp has been lit on the table, and it is burning brightly.
On the table were steaming noodles and square brown snacks.
"This is called cake. Try it. Grandma is a master at making desserts!"
The two little guys rushed straight to the table like refugees fleeing from famine.
It tastes extremely sweet and has a taste that I have never tasted before.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Lu Chao's eyes widened and he slapped his throat hard.
Aman was so frightened that she hurriedly poured her a glass of water and drank the water before swallowing the cake.
"Slow down, we still have it at home. This is a delicacy from my grandmother's hometown. She will eat a few pieces when she misses home."
There are three large bowls on the table, with plates on them.
Ah Man opened the plate.
"What is this? What a rich aroma...Grandma, you cook so fast!" In the blink of an eye when Xie Yuzhou came in, the noodles were already on the table.
Ah Man laughed and said, "This is instant noodles."
"Just make it with boiling hot water and you can eat it at any time. This is also a delicacy from my grandmother's hometown. My grandmother studied it for many years before she managed to make it." Aman had seen her crying while eating.
"I knew it. Grandma also put an egg in it for me." Ah Man smiled and picked up the noodles. He took a big sip. It was delicious!
The three children buried their heads in the food without raising their heads.
The old man sat in front of the window, looking at the blood moon in the sky, his eyes dazed.
The three children even drank up the soup.
"Grandma, grandma, where is your hometown?"
"The food in your hometown is so delicious. The peaches in the sky are not as delicious as noodles." Lu Chaochao praised without hesitation.
The old woman couldn't help but smile. She sat in the rocking chair with gray hair and rocked.
"In a very far place that can never be reached." Her eyes were full of memories. When she mentioned the past, her dark color became gentle.
"Then how did you get here?" Xie Yuzhou's stomach was full, but he couldn't put down the cake in his hand. He rubbed his stomach and ate it.
The old lady smiled.
"Do you believe in the sun and moon shining together?"
"In my hometown, there was a day when the sun and the moon appeared in the sky at the same time. It was like... there was a crack in time and space. It was like... time was flowing backwards? It was as if time and space were in chaos."
"When I woke up, I appeared here."
Xie Yuzhou shook his head: "The story you told is so mysterious. How could the sun and the moon appear at the same time?"
The old man smiled.
A Man brought hot water to Chao Chao to wash her face and feet.
"The village is still making up rumors about my grandmother."
"It is said that my grandmother was very stupid when she was young. When she was sixteen years old, she accidentally fell into the water. After waking up, she became smart and intelligent. The villagers insisted that she was possessed by evil spirits and tied her up in the ancestral hall for three days to exorcise the evil spirits."
"Since then, the village has stopped communicating with my grandmother."
"Later, my grandmother saved me, and I depended on my grandmother for my life."
The old man smiled and touched her head.
She wanted to go home, really wanted to go home.
But where is the opportunity for the sun and the moon to shine together? (End of this chapter)
