I opened my eyes and the snake was gone.
I don’t know if it’s because of dazzling eyesight.
Just as I was stunned, Liu Shu suddenly handed me a cup of tea: "Brother Ling Feng, drink some water!"
As soon as I heard her call me brother, I thought of my sister and my heart tingled.
I nodded absentmindedly, took the water glass, and accidentally touched her hand.
Her hands are very soft and smooth, as if they were coated with aloe vera, a little sticky!
"Excuse me!"
I apologize.
Liu Shu smiled, turned around and went back to cooking without saying anything.
I took a look inside the house and saw that it was a bit shabby.
Two beds, an earthen stove, and an old dining table.
Although simple, it is also clean and comfortable inside.
Liu Shu and Old Man Liu were cooking and whispering inside, not knowing what they were talking about.
I chopped firewood for a while.
Suddenly Liu Shu called out: "Brother Ling Feng is ready to eat!"
"oh!"
I dusted myself off and walked into the house.
Looking at the table, there were three dishes placed.
One is braised pork, one is wild vegetables, and the other is something like a big eel!
The braised pork had no skin, and I didn’t know what kind of meat it was, maybe game rabbit or something like that.
As for the eel, its head had been chopped off and thrown away. It looked a little strange on the plate.
I am a guest and I am embarrassed to ask what kind of meat this is.
As soon as he sat down, Liu Shu asked: "Brother Ling Feng, are you drinking?"
I thought that since there was no signal in the mountains and I couldn’t use my mobile phone, why not get drunk and wake up early and go down the mountain?
Just nodded.
Liu Shu took out a jar of wine under the bedside and poured two bowls.
When I look at the jar, I remember the day when Ye Wanru's ashes were stored.
In what age are you still using ashes jars to hold wine?
Are the father and daughter still living in the ancient thoughts?
The more I thought about it, the weirder it seemed.
But looking at Ryu Hyun-sook's gentle look, the doubts in my heart were put to the back of my mind.
"Brother Ling Feng, you're welcome, please pick up some food!"
Liu Shu was very polite.
Her personality is completely different from that of her father.
Old Man Liu rarely spoke, but always had a smile on his face.
I picked up a piece of braised pork and took a bite. It tasted pretty good.
Then he took another sip of wine.
The wine tastes very light, like beer.
"Miss Liu, how come you live in this barren mountain?" I asked while eating.
Liu Shu said calmly: "My mother died two years ago. It is our custom to observe mourning for our mother for three years. My mother is buried not far from here!"
After hearing this, I let my guard down even more.
After one meal, I drank three bowls of wine and two bowls of rice.
After dinner, at five or six o'clock in the evening, the sky gradually fell into night.
Old Man Liu suddenly picked up the hatchet and said, "Xiao Shu, dad is going on a long trip and won't be coming home tonight!"
"Dad, be careful!"
As soon as Old Man Liu left, I couldn't help but ask: "Miss Liu, it's almost dark today, where is your father going?"
"Cut wood and sell it!"
"Why do you have to go chop wood to sell at night? Shouldn't you go during the day?"
Liu Shu laughed and explained: "It's too hot during the day, but it's cooler at night."
I didn't ask any more questions and just sat there in a daze.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Liu Shu tidying up Old Liu's bed.
After cleaning up, he said to me: "Master Li, you can sleep in my father's bed tonight!"
I nodded.
After sitting for a while, it was completely dark.
Liu Shu lit a candle and chatted with me.
"Brother Ling Feng, how did you get lost in this mountain?"
I sighed: "Brought by ghosts!"
Hearing this, Liu Shu frowned and said, "Are you kidding me? Don't scare me!"
I knew she wouldn't believe me even if I told her, so I asked, "Where is this place?"
"Luofenpo!"
When I heard this, a cold sweat broke out on my face.
Why is this name so scary?
Before I could say anything, a cool breeze suddenly blew past the window.
The cool breeze blew out the candles.
Liu Shu lit the candle again, closed the window, and reinforced the wooden door.
As soon as she closed the door, there was a strange sound outside.
Hohoho——
It's like someone is sharpening a knife.
"Is your dad sharpening his knife outside?"
I asked.
"No! My father should have gone away long ago!"
"Why is there the sound of sharpening knives outside?"
Liu Shu listened to my words, stared at me with wide eyes and asked: "Why didn't I hear it?"
Seeing that I didn't look like I was joking, she added, "Master Li, don't scare me!"
I looked solemn and listened carefully again, but the strange sound outside disappeared.
But then another very familiar voice called me: "Ling Feng, Ling Feng..., come out!"
The voice was Wang Ming's.
How did Wang Ming find him?
I was confused and wanted to go out and take a look.
Liu Shu grabbed my hand and said, "Master Li, don't go out!"
"Why?"
Liu Shu said: "My father said that there is a spirited grizzly bear in the mountains who can imitate other people's voices..."
Before she could even finish her words, sweat broke out on her face!
"Did you hear someone calling me too?"
She nodded.
"Then let's not go out and go to bed early!"
I said, lying on the bed.
Liu Shu was still standing there, dumbfounded.
"Why don't you sleep?"
"There are strange noises tonight. I dare not sleep in the same bed alone!"
I asked: "You have lived here before and have never encountered this kind of situation?"
She shook her head.
I thought about it and asked, "You don't dare to sleep. If you don't mind it, just sleep with me. I won't touch you!"
"Um!"
Liu Shu nodded, and then said: "Come and sleep in my bed, my father's bed stinks!"
"Okay! But you are not allowed to tell your father that I will sleep with you tonight."
"Um!"
After she answered, she lay down on the bed.
I carried the quilt, walked over, and slept with her.
But we always kept a certain distance.
"Ling Feng, come out quickly, that's the snake spirit in the house!"
At this time, Wang Ming's voice came from outside again.
When I heard this, I sat up straight in fear.
By the candlelight, I glanced at Liu Shu and saw that she was looking at me with aggrieved look.
"Brother Ling Feng, do you think I am a snake spirit?"
I shook my head!
In fact, I have some doubts about Liu Shu's identity.
But looking at her, she didn't look like a monster.
If she was a snake spirit, she shouldn't have eaten me in one bite? Why did she cook for me?
Next, I didn’t think much about it.
No matter what sounds came from outside, I didn't care.
He fell asleep vaguely.
Suddenly I had a dream, dreaming that I was sleeping on the body of a big white snake.
The big white snake has two heads.
One snake head is triangular in shape, and one is oval in shape.
In my dream, I watched the big white snake spit out pieces as big as scissors at me, open its bloody mouth and ooze disgusting white liquid at me.
I woke up suddenly, sweating all over my body.
Looking at the unburned candles on the table, I seemed to see a strange shadow reflected on the wall by the candlelight.
The shadow looked like a snake with two snake heads.
My heart suddenly jumped violently.
I'm not really afraid of ghosts, but I'm terribly afraid of spirits and the like.
There is a saying that the more human-like a creature is, the more frightening it will be!
But I opened my eyes and looked, and the shadow disappeared again. I don’t know if it was an hallucination caused by something strange in my heart.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Liu Shu suddenly asked me with wide eyes.
I didn't say anything, so she took out a towel and wiped my sweat.
While wiping, he asked: "Brother Ling Feng, are you married?"
I murmured in reply: "No, but I am engaged to a female ghost!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Liu Shu groaned: "Don't scare me, okay?"
As she spoke, she put her head into my arms.
