"We, the waiters, don't know what the specific situation is, but I heard the concierge Lao Xi mentioned that half a year after Boss Ren was selected by the cave god, people have become unclear. This situation is already considered a cave. Even if my parents wanted to save him, no young man would dare to marry the god’s wife. The whole village felt that we should hold a wedding for her so that she could marry the cave god.”
After the waiter finished speaking, he stretched his neck and said: "I had already accepted my fate, but then a wandering old Taoist came to her hometown, Kuahu Mountain, and saw the evil energy in the caves there. He followed this evil energy and came to their village. Here, after asking her parents, I found out that she was a girl from the Luohua Cave."
"The old Taoist priest stabbed a person with paper to replace Ren Peacock. He also helped Ren Peacock go to the entrance of the cave to recite a rune and burn something. Only then did she gradually regain consciousness. However, the old Taoist priest said that breaking off the engagement to the cave god would cause karma. , tell Ren Peacock to never go into the Hunan-Guizhou border again, the further away, the safer it will be."
Yue Guanchao did not expect that Ren Kongque was still a Luohua Cave girl who was lucky enough to survive. Instead, he could understand why this eldest sister was so grumpy: "He became grumpy just because he was lucky enough to survive? Then why did he work as a post station in Qinling Mountains?" The boss?"
Yue Guanchao had many questions about her. Seeing in the waiting room that these people were interested in Ren Peacock, he could take advantage of the break to rest and continue gossiping about the news he had heard: "My guest, the girl from the Luohua Cave is known for her gentleness and bright appearance, and her face is like a peach blossom." He said that they are the most gentle and intelligent, so they may be like firecrackers. When Boss Ren first came here ten years ago, his temper was not like this. It was only after he became our boss that he became like this."
"Oh, I understand. Your boss always gave up and treated her badly. He turned a gentle cave girl into a tigress."
Xu Xiake pondered the words of the waiter carefully, with a look of sudden realization. Regarding his reaction, Xiaobian waved his hands anxiously: "Sir, what you said are all nonsense. Our boss is very kind to Boss Ren. When they got married, it was a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and the family planned to live happily!"
"Then what's going on with her? How can she live like this?"
Tang Dayang also understood that even if an ordinary woman was married, she would just avoid foreign men. She would never kill someone just because someone took one more look at her. Plus, she was wearing a veil, so it was more like She had to protect her face to the best of her ability so that no outsider could see her. She was considered strange, lonely, and difficult to get along with.
"well!"
When the waiting room heard what Tang Dayang asked, he sighed unconsciously. It was probably that Ren Kongque was still sad.
He took a handkerchief, dipped it in water and wiped the table and said: "Our boss and Boss Ren have been very prosperous for a year after their marriage. In addition, Boss Ren is bright and gentle, and the two of them are like honey mixed with oil. They were inseparable, but it had only been two years before our boss's body couldn't bear it anymore. In just three months, his bones were broken, and he finally became sluggish and exhausted, and died in the hands of Ren Peacock."
Mentioning this, the waiter's eyes were filled with curiosity and fear: "I heard that when the boss died, the totem of the Fox Mountain appeared on his body like a birthmark, as if something had sucked the energy out of him. Let the peacock think of the identity of the cave girl. , thinking that she had offended the cave god and killed her husband. From then on, she no longer showed her face to anyone. She wore a black gauze hat all day long to mourn her late husband. As long as anyone dared to lift her hat or stare at her face for a long time, They can’t escape the fate of missing arms and legs.”
After saying that, he put the dirty hand towels into the copper basin and washed them: "Today is unlucky for you. Usually the shopkeeper is in charge. Today he goes home and lets the boss take over for him for the day. In the past, the shopkeeper must have given the rules first. I said, you are not familiar with the place, and you don’t know the rules of bowing your head, so it is normal to violate taboos.”
"But don't be afraid. Apart from this taboo, our boss Ren is very upright and is definitely not the tigress or bully you think."
After hearing this, everyone gasped. If they were all staring at him, they would all be here. Yue Guanchao was sure that Ren Peacock was not a killer, and he was completely relieved.
"Xiaohan, what's wrong with your hand?"
Song Siyuan looked at the small handle of the dirty rag that was being used to clean the dirty rag. His thumb was missing a section, so it was not particularly convenient to hold. Then she thought about the people they met along the way, who led horses to carry goods, and ran the hall to sweep. These people were all People with five shortcomings and three shortcomings, missing arms and legs have become the norm. Even the old horseman who came in was lame.
Looking at it this way, there were only a few people in the entire inn. She was very curious about this. Thinking about Ren Peacock's irritability, she would inevitably think that it was her!
Although Xiao Bing had some buck teeth and looked silly, she was very smart. She could see what Song Siyuan meant at a glance and quickly explained: "Sir, please don't get it wrong!"
Then, he raised his short fingers and sighed and explained: "The injuries on your bodies were not caused by Boss Ren. In the past few years, there were many bandits on the mountain. If they were not paid, they would chop off their hands and stamp their feet. If they were given less, they would chop off more." , or be beaten into a disability, they are all suffering."
"Respectable people can't do it, and we can't do heavy work and hard work. Thanks to Boss Ren, we have a life to live on. Otherwise, we poor people from ten miles and eight villages would have to beg for food."
