My eyelids twitched slightly, where would I dare to touch it?
He held the body-picking pole, picked it up with its pointed end, and knocked the earring into the water.
The second uncle obviously saw it too. He looked unhappy, but he still nodded and said I did a good job.
Along the way towards the ghost lady's house, the second uncle also talked about it all the way, roughly speaking, how to prevent the dead man from following us. He also said some methods, but we had to wait until we were free to do it.
Moreover, my second uncle also repeatedly warned me that I must stay vigilant and not get caught up in this matter. Even if you die, you know how to give "things". This matter is not only hot, but may also be thorny.
I nodded again and again to show that I understood and asked my second uncle not to worry.
The deeper we walked into the village, the more nervous I became.
Finally, we arrived at the end of the village. Behind the lush forest and old trees, there were neat fences.
The mulberry trees outside the courtyard were still full of vitality, and the leaves of the poplar trees were rustling. Under the wind, I heard the sound like a child clapping again, and I felt a little scared.
Arriving in front of the courtyard gate, the second uncle shouted in a rough voice: "Ghost mother-in-law, Liu Guishou, Li Yinyang, please see me!"
I was holding my chest, where I kept the big yellow croaker for my husband.
After a while, the sound of soft footsteps came.
The second uncle said something.
I was also stunned for a moment.
Because the person who walked out of the front door was not a ghost woman...
The ghost woman was an old man in her seventies or eighties, but the girl who approached the courtyard gate was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old at most.
The breeze blew her hair slightly, and her fair cheeks and skin seemed to be broken by the blow.
The hair on the forehead is slightly curly, but the hair on the back is tied into braids.
A pair of peach blossom eyes, like a deep pool, you can hardly look away after one glance.
Although she was still very childish, a word immediately popped into my head.
She is so beautiful...it is simply a disaster to the country and the people...
My father taught me to read a lot of books, which is not enough to describe her, because the faint smile at the corner of her mouth will make people feel heart palpitations!
There was curiosity in her eyes, and she looked at my second uncle and me, and then said softly: "Please come in, you two, grandpa is waiting for you." After saying this, she opened the courtyard door, moved lightly with lotus steps, and led us in. Room.
The second uncle muttered in a low voice: "Ghost woman, you have a granddaughter. This is so beautiful that I'm afraid a ghost would be blinded by it." "Yin Yang!" The second uncle's voice suddenly became much more severe.
I was so excited that I slowly came back to my senses. My Adam's apple couldn't help but roll, and I tried my best not to look at her back.
The tinkling bell rang loudly, which also made me sober.
After entering the main room, he saw the ghost woman sitting on a chair against the wall and smoking.
He lowered his head slightly, his eyelids drooped, and the spicy and pungent smell of leaf cigarettes filled the entire hall.
The girl stood behind the hag, between the wall and the chair, squeezing the hag's shoulders.
The second uncle glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, and I understood what he meant, so I carefully took out the big yellow croaker wrapped in cloth from the inner bag of my clothes, and bowed slightly to look at the ghost woman.
The second uncle's tone was also respectful, saying that we had prepared the big yellow croaker, but we still had to trouble the ghost woman about my husband's affairs.
While talking, the second uncle also took out a small cloth bag. After he opened it, he found that it contained fine tobacco leaves.
The ghost woman raised her eyelids, coughed twice, and said that we came just in time. He had smoked almost all the cigarettes we gave him last time and was about to run out of food.
Then he glanced at my face again and said, "Yin-shengzi attracts sneakiness, but on the contrary, there is endless food for the dead. I can earn a big yellow croaker in a few days, which is not bad."
I pursed my lips, but there was a bit of eagerness in my heart.
"I've already asked about your husband's affairs. Liu Guishou, please punt and we'll take a trip to pick him up. Li Yinyang, just stay in this yard for a while." The ghost woman stood up and hammered He hammered his chest, threw away the rolled leaf cigarette that was burning to the end, reached out to take the small cloth bag from his second uncle, took a piece of tobacco leaf and rolled it.
At the same time, the second uncle took the big yellow croaker from my hand. He whispered a few words to me not to make any mistakes, and followed the ghost woman outside the main room.
Seriously, my heart is about to jump out of my throat right now.
Also rising was an extremely strong sense of excitement, and he clenched his fists hard.
Soon, the figures of the ghost woman and the second uncle disappeared from sight.
My excitement and joy have not diminished at all, but I try to calm myself down. I have to start preparing from now on, and I must stay calm! When the husband comes, he can send my father away!
"Your name is Li Yinyang? What a strange name." A clear voice came into my ears, and I came back to my senses.
The girl walked up to me again, but she stretched out her hand and said with a smile like a flower: "My name is He Pheasant." To be honest, He Pheasant was so beautiful that I almost lost my mind and bit my tongue. Come to your senses.
But he was a little helpless.
He Fei's laugh was like a silver bell. She looked at me seriously and said, "It's only the witches who bite their tongues. I heard my grandpa say that you are a corpse collector and a witch-catcher. Is it possible that some of you also bite your tongues?" Magic?"
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand slightly and said with interest: "Can't you shake hands?"
I felt my face getting hot when He Zhi saw through my embarrassment.
"Men and women... give and receive..." This embarrassment made me stutter for a while.
But it even made He Fei cover his mouth and chuckle.
"Men and women are not allowed to be intimate. I didn't expect that grandpa would know so much about the Yin-born child." He Zhi's eyes were now full of curiosity.
She quickly moved closer to me and took my left hand with her right hand.
I instinctively retracted my hand and backed away very quickly! With just a light touch, He Fei escaped.
In addition to being curious, He Zhi said with great interest: "Can I eat people?" "My father said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more she can eat people..." There was sweat on my forehead.
"What else did your father say?" He Zhi asked with a smile in her eyes, her tone still childish.
"My dad..." I was stunned, then pursed my lips and stopped talking.
He Zhi also froze slightly, her smile gradually disappeared, and she said slightly unnaturally: "I'm sorry, I'm not..."
I tried to force a smile but couldn't. Suddenly I felt suffocated in the house again, so I turned around and entered the yard.
The crackling "clapping sound" made me feel even more irritated and uncomfortable.
Even my breathing became a lot heavier. I raised my legs and walked out of the yard.
From behind came He Pheasant's voice calling my name, telling me not to wander around.
Although she is good-looking and has a nice voice, I feel really uncomfortable at the moment.
Although the second uncle and the ghost lady went to pick up my husband, I still thought about the teachings my father gave me in the past years, and my heart felt like a stone weighing on me, making it difficult to breathe.
It was broad daylight, so nothing could happen, and they wouldn't come back so soon. I just wanted to change places and get rid of those distracting thoughts in my mind.
I didn't walk towards the outside of the village. I lowered my head and got into the old forest next to the ghost woman's courtyard.
There was a sudden silence in my ears, and I suddenly felt a little better.
As I walked further inside, it became quieter and quieter. I could even hear my heartbeat quietly, and I finally calmed down.
But why is it not only quiet here, but also a little cold? !
I subconsciously shrank my shoulders, shuddered and raised my head.
Only then did I realize that the surrounding woods had become much denser, and there were no miscellaneous trees at all. They were all old willows.
The willow branches swayed, and some of them touched my face, which made me feel numb and itchy, and I felt a bit like being cut by a knife.
After a pause, I vaguely heard a voice calling my name.
The voice belonged to He Pheasant, but she was obviously a little far away from me.
I glanced back subconsciously, but I was too deep into the forest, and I couldn't see He Zhi's figure. I only knew that it was in the direction behind me.
Being too quiet can also make people feel fearful.
This willow forest is so weird. It's broad daylight and the light is still very dark. Is it because the willow trees are too dense and the sunlight can't get in?
I was about to turn around and walk out quickly.
But I heard a slight cry in my ears. The cry was twitching, like an old lady crying and mumbling something...
My heart skipped a beat and I glanced in the opposite direction.
The sound came from a deeper location. Are there people living in this willow forest?
And that voice clearly meant something had happened.
I subconsciously wanted to lift my legs and walk inside to take a look.
Because there are no human traces in this place, there is Gui Pozi and his family in front of them. It is obvious that there is no path in the willow forest. I am afraid that Gui Pozi and He Pheasant have never come in.
If something happened to anyone, it would be fatal.
I didn't go out and walked in the direction of the sound.
The wickers were indeed too dense, so I raised my hand to push aside the wickers while walking inside.
There was a constant feeling of fine cuts on my hands, numbness, itching, and slight stinging.
The sound became slightly louder.
After walking a few more steps, the wicker branches became a little sparse, but the light here was still very dim, like a cloudy day or just dark.
Behind the sparse willow branches, there are a few willow trees, with a few simple wooden boards that have been erected on the left and right sides.
It was like a small wooden house. There was no baffle or door in front of it. A stooped old lady was lowering her head and wiping tears.
She was also born strangely, with large, round eyes that took up almost a quarter of her face.
The bridge of the nose is thin, the tip of the nose is curved, but the chin is round.
She is not young yet, and has white age spots on her face.
There was a straw bed at the back of the wooden house, and a woman was lying on it. She had a huge belly and was struggling in pain, making a faint groan of pain.
I could tell at a glance that the woman was having difficulty giving birth...
It's difficult to give birth here, and there's no midwife!
But if the old lady at home is crying, how can it be useful?
I spoke immediately, calling the old lady first, and then immediately said: "It's useless for you to cry here. The pregnant woman is having difficulty giving birth. Go out quickly and find a midwife, otherwise you will die!"
