Jia Mu said again: "Now that I know my relatives today, don't go there just in time. If you don't mind my place, just stay for a day or two before going. We also have a garden, and there are fruits in the garden. You can try it tomorrow. Take some home, you can also count as a visit to relatives."
Seeing that Jia Mu liked it, Sister Feng hurriedly stayed and said, "Although our place is not bigger than your yard, there are still two vacant rooms. You can stay for two days and tell our old lady some news stories from your place." listen."
Jia Mu said with a smile, "Don't make fun of him, Feng girl. He is from the village. To be honest, you can make fun of him there." Then, she ordered the little girl to grab the fruit and the board first.Ban'er saw too many people, but dared not eat it.Mother Jia ordered to give him some money, and asked the younger children to take him outside.
After drinking tea, Grandma Liu told Jia Mu what she had seen and heard in the village. Jia Mu listened so interestingly that she didn't even notice when Jia Baoyu sneaked into the house. Jia Baoyu applauded again and again, and Jia's mother saw him and asked, "Oh, my dear, where did you come back from? When did you come back, why didn't you say a word."
"I just came in for a while, and I saw that you were fascinated by the story, so I didn't bother you. This old man told you really well. Do you have any new stories? Tell me another one or two?" Jia Baoyu saw Jia Mu He called him, sat down with a smile and leaned against Jiamu's arms, and clamored to listen to the story.
Grandma Liu has never seen such a well-dressed brother, so she couldn't help but take a second look, only to hear Jia's mother introduce, "This is my grandson, and he is also naughty. Just ignore him. We chat about ours. "
That is to say, but Grandma Liu can naturally see how much Jia's mother loves this grandson, she just smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I have a lot of stories!"
"Then tell me another one soon!" Jia Baoyu still remembered the story of drawing firewood that Grandma Liu had just told, and she said that she had other things to rush.
Then Grandma Liu took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly, "The thing I want to talk about is a real thing. I experienced it myself. Usually, I seldom mention it to others. Today, this fairy-like My brother wants to hear a story, but I have nothing to tell, so I have to use this to make up the number!"
It's good that she didn't sell this, but what she said aroused everyone's interest, and even Qi Qi was aroused to gossip.
Grandma Liu saw that everyone was looking at her, and the room was quiet. She nodded in satisfaction and continued, "At that time, my son was still young, that is, in the grade of seven or eight. Back then, my family still had a little foundation. My grandfather was in the I was the county magistrate in a small county in Shanxi, and our whole family followed my grandfather in office."
Grandma Liu squinted her eyes as if she was still remembering the grand occasion of her family.She spoke very slowly, and it was rare that no one urged her. She paused for a long time before continuing, "At that time, our family was in a good situation, and my grandmother was good at burning incense and worshiping Buddha, so she took us to some famous temples nearby every year." Worship in the nunnery.
There are also many people who believe in Buddhism in Shanxi, and there is a famous Great Buddha Temple as famous as Wutai Mountain.There are also many small temples and nunneries next to it!I heard that there are many famous ones, and I think the old birthday stars know some of them. ,"
Mother Jia nodded when she heard Grandma Liu's question and said, "Well, there is such a thing. When I was a child, my family specially invited an eminent monk on Mount Wutai to show me my face, saying that I am a rare treasure Good fate, why don't you just let him make the decision?"
Mother Jia was quite complacent when she mentioned this matter, and everyone also praised that Mother Jia was lucky.
Grandma Liu also praised a few words for fun, and had a good time with Jia's mother.She waited for everyone to quiet down before continuing, "That year, I also went to a frequented temple with my grandmother and a lot of girls and servants to add money for sesame oil. It started to rain heavily, and I still remember clearly that I was halfway there, and there was still a short distance away from home! The mountain road was dangerous, and it was obviously not a problem to drive home in the rain.
My grandmother was also anxious and didn't know what to do. She was holding me in her arms and was worrying. Suddenly, someone from outside the carriage said back and forth that there was a nunnery halfway up the hill ahead, and asked my grandmother if she wanted to take a shelter! "
When Qi Qi heard this, she thought to herself, why is this similar to the plot in Liao Zhai, is it possible that there is a fox fairy, a yellow fairy or something in it after the meeting?
Jia Baoyu was fascinated by what he heard, and when he saw Grandma Liu pause to drink tea, he asked her, "Grandma, did you see this nunnery before when you went there? The nunnery is gone!"
"My lord, but the question is on the right point, or this fairy-like brother is smart, we were only concerned about finding a place to hide from the rain, so we didn't remember to think about these issues, but when something happened After I got home, I thought about it carefully. It’s not that no one has ever known that there is a nunnery there. We have never encountered it when we pass by. Even if we didn’t pay attention in the carriage, there are still many servants there. There must be someone who rides a horse or drives a cart outside and has seen it! So this is very weird. My grandmother never asked me to go outside. After so many years, I am so old. It's so uncomfortable to keep things buried in my heart, so I always want to find someone to talk about, but now that I have this opportunity, let me talk about it!"
Hearing this, Jia Bao felt more and more remarkable about himself, and then guessed, "But did you encounter any weird and unusual things in that nunnery? Have you seen the little nun in that nunnery? What does it look like?"
Qiqixin said, "You're only thinking about the little nun, any little nun can arouse such great interest, tsk tsk, this hobby is too much... Could it be that you have a habit of uniforms?"
Grandma Liu sighed, "Yes, there is a little nun in her 20s who came to receive us. She didn't say much when she saw the rain all over us. She just said that I will leave as soon as the rain stops, and then I turned around and went back to the house. I still remember her cold expression, but it's strange to say, but I can't remember her appearance.
It’s not that it’s been a long time, I’m getting old and my mind is confused, it’s because I didn’t remember it at the time, and then I quietly asked the girls who followed us, and no one remembered whether the nun was beautiful or ugly. I was scared and curious, so I secretly ran to ask my grandmother, but my grandmother scolded me, saying that I would get sick if I asked again, and told me not to mention this matter again, and forget about it completely.But how could I forget?It's been six or seventy years.I still remember it! "
"You fell ill when you came back from that nunnery. Are you the only one sick or are everyone else sick? You didn't explain clearly what's going on, so hurry up and talk about it!" Jia Baoyu stood up anxiously. , ran to Grandma Liu and wanted to pull her to tell her to speak quickly, but she was a little hesitant when she saw her clothes, so she just stomped her feet to urge her.
"Isn't it just that I was sick? I was so scared that I got a serious illness. At that time, I had a fever all over my body. It took more than 20 days to recover after returning home." When this matter was mentioned, Grandma Liu's hands trembled slightly.As if remembering the scene at that time, I was still afraid, "I was just seven or eight years old. When I was naughty and mischievous, my family members were hiding in the nunnery, but how could I stay? I held an umbrella and ran to the courtyard of the nunnery to play. Since the door was open, my grandmother could see me, and there was a little girl following behind, so she ignored me. I ran around in the courtyard, and the courtyard was not It's big but there are many beautiful flowers. I like it very much. I look around here and there.
I still remember that the last thing I saw was a big blood-red flower. It was so beautiful that people couldn’t take their eyes off after just one glance. Not to mention that time, let’s say that I have lived for more than seventy years now. I have never seen such beautiful flowers.Very bright and pure color.
I don't know what kind it is. My grandfather and grandmother are both people who love to grow flowers. They also planted a lot of flowers at home, but they have never seen one as beautiful as that one.
I was simply insane.I don't know what to think, so I thought of digging the flower home and giving it to my grandfather, he must like it.Anyway, it's a flower, and the nuns who want to come to this nunnery won't care, just give some sesame oil money as a thank you gift when they leave.
I still remember that's what I told the little girl at the time. The little girl listened to me very much. After listening to my order, she found a wooden stick from nowhere and started digging.
She was squatting on the ground digging, and I was watching. Guess what happened next? "
Grandma Liu stopped and scanned the crowd mysteriously for a week, shaking her head when she saw them.
Jia Baoyu thought for a while and said, "Did you dig out the treasure? Or did the little nun come out and scold you?"
Xichun also followed suit, "Second elder brother really, everyone said he was scared to death, he must have encountered something very, very scary."
"Yes! It's terrifying. I never dreamed that the root of the flower was not covered with soil, but a blood-red heart. The heart was still beating and beating. At that time, the little girl yelled and threw the flowers far away, and she became crazy from then on, and I was also frightened and fell ill. My grandmother took me and left the nunnery in the rain, but since then my family It’s getting worse day by day, and I always wonder if I got into trouble back then and recruited something I shouldn’t have.”
After Grandma Liu finished talking about the silence in the room, the girls and little girls seemed to be terrified. Daiyu's hand holding Qiqi felt a little cold, Xichun let out a low cry and ran over to hold Yingchun's arm, and then Even Jia Baoyu's face turned pale.
Sister Feng was stunned for a long time before she smiled awkwardly and said, "Grandma, look at you, what are you doing to scare children by telling these stories well, you can scare them."
Grandma Liu stayed for a while before she woke up. After hearing what Sister Feng said, she felt that she had gone too far. She should not say that there are some things. He hurriedly turned back the words and said, "Look at me, hehe, it's all my fault, my mouth started to talk nonsense again, and when I was proud, I was willing to talk nonsense, and I even forgot my surname.
Brothers and sisters, please don’t take it seriously. This is just a country legend I heard. It’s not what happened to me. It’s all fake. Don’t be afraid.
Some of these stories can only be interesting if you tell them from your own mouth. If I said that I heard it from others, you would definitely think that I am talking nonsense!I can't arouse interest anymore, it's just a joke, just listen to it, but don't take it seriously, if you are really scared, then it's really my fault. "
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that it was a lie, and Jia Baoyu also cheered up and said, "This grandma's words are really good, I was completely intimidated by you, and it really happened to you What! You are better than what the lady in the teahouse said! Is there any more? Tell us another one."
Mrs. Jia is old enough to not believe what Grandma Liu added later. It can be seen that the scene has been rounded up and she is not pursuing it, but the mood of chatting with Grandma Liu has also faded, so she just told Sister Feng, "Go and arrange it." Grandma changes clothes, has a meal, and has a good rest, and tomorrow we will go for a walk in the yard."
After all, it is also called Baoyu. "You've been crazy all day. Are you still hungry? Wait for your grandma to take a break before telling you a story. Your sister Yun is coming soon. You should go eat something first, and then you can play with her, right?" You said before that you want to form some kind of poetry club or painting club with Yun girl, do you still want to do it?"
"Do it, why don't you do it? Grandfather, do you want to join the society?" Jia Baoyu was pure-hearted, and was immediately attracted by Jia's mother when he used other topics.
But Qi Qi kept thinking about the story Grandma Liu told just now, and she still didn't forget to talk to Yin Xiaojiu and the others when she got back to the house. "Hey! Do you think what Grandma Liu said is true? I looked at her as if she was telling her own story again, unlike what she heard from other people. But some of what she said was too bizarre. It’s okay to have a dead body in the soil, but a heart can still beat under the root of the flower, which is a bit too exaggerated!”
Yin Xiaojiu pondered for a while and said, "It sounds like Wuqi people, but Wuqi people have long been extinct, let alone now. I haven't seen them for so many years, so it's impossible!"
"What Wuqiren? Does this Wuqiren have anything to do with what happened to Grandma Liu?" Qiqiyi became more interested when she heard this, and asked Xiaohong and Hongxiu who followed her to go out and do their own work. She turned around and entered. After leaving the space, I went to chat with Yin Xiaojiu and the others.
"The people of Wuqi lived in the country of Wuqi, which was a country long ago. It is said that the people of Wuqi country will be buried in the soil after death, but his heart will not rot. Bury them from the day they are buried A bright red flower will bloom in the place where it takes 500 years to bloom and wither for 500 years. When the red flower withers, the heart becomes a human again... It is precisely because of their way of reproduction, The population of their country is getting smaller and smaller, and they were all extinct a long time ago, and I have never heard of people from the Wuqi country anywhere!"
Yin Xiaojiu told Qi Qi what she knew, and seeing that she was still staring at her with wide eyes, she said, "I don't know much, Yang Xiaojiu told me these things! I also I just heard about it, but why did he mention this suddenly? I don’t know if it has anything to do with what Grandma Liu said. Why don’t you call him back and ask him to see if he knows anything? "
"Okay, just call that guy back, I haven't seen him for a long time, have you gone crazy?" Qiqi called out to Yang Xiaojiu twice in her heart, it's so convenient to be the host, you don't even need a mobile phone, telepathic.
"Him! Cut, what else can I do? Hang out in Meijiu Building, cuddle with a group of vixens all day long, kiss me, and I won't be afraid of getting sick. Pooh..." Yin Xiaojiu spat in dissatisfaction a mouthful.
"Hey! I said you Yang Xiaojiu, don't wait for you to be so mean, how can you accuse me of being black in front of the master! Don't treat such a shady person behind your back." Yang Xiaojiu listened to Qi Qi's words He called back immediately, and immediately turned his face when he heard Yin Xiaojiu's words as soon as he entered the space. Two Xiaojiu, you glared at me, and I glared at you, a pair of little enemies.
Qiqi coughed and interrupted the affectionate gaze of the two of them. She still has business to do, can they stop being so smug?
Hearing Qiqi's voice, Yang Xiaojiu glared at Yin Xiaojiu, then ran to Qiqi's side immediately and poured her some tea and fruit, and said flatteringly, "Master, you'd better You are wise, but I dare not listen to some people slandering me behind my back, I am serious, and Meimei and Yaoyao are also pure brother and sister, but don’t be so nasty as some people say, you can Learn from it!"
Qi Qi slapped his face away from him and said, "I don't bother to care about whether you are siblings or what. I asked you to come back because I have something to ask you."
As soon as Yang Xiaojiu heard this, she immediately put away her foolish expression, and stood in front of Qiqi solemnly, waiting for her to ask questions.
"You don't need to be so serious. It's not a big deal, but I just came here to ask you because of curiosity." Yang Xiaojiu was like this, Qiqi was not used to it, and hurriedly patted the seat next to him to sit down, Yang Xiaojiu heard It wasn't a big deal, and he immediately put on a playful smile, sitting in his seat and jokingly said, "Master, why do you want to torture the little one? The little one promises to know everything, talk endlessly, be frank and be lenient, and strive for leniency."
"Okay, don't be poor, let me ask you, do you know about Wu Qiguo? My Yin Xiaojiu said you told her about it?"
"Yeah? Why do you want to ask this all of a sudden? Doesn't the master usually not read that kind of hard-to-understand casual books? Why, who showed you the Classic of Mountains and Seas? Or did you read it from somewhere else?" Yang Xiaojiu was a little strange Why did the master ask this? He glanced at Yin Xiaojiu, but the latter gave him a blank stare and ignored him.
"Let me ask you, where did you hear these things?" Qiqi told him the story told by Grandma Liu today, and then asked, "Do you think what she said is true? That red Is Hua a person from Wuqi Kingdom?"
Yang Xiaojiu pondered for a while after listening to this story and said, "I think it's very similar, and I just realized that not all the people in Wuqi Kingdom disappeared, and a small number of people moved to the world of the Demon King to be tortured." His protection has left a glimmer of life."
"The demon king?" Qi Qi was taken aback, "What demon king? Why have I never heard you say that there are demon kings in this world?"
"What's so strange about this? With us elves, there will naturally be a demon king, just like you humans also have a king." Yang Xiaojiu felt that Qi Qi's surprise was a bit unreasonable, and continued to ignore her, "No I heard about Qiguo from a little brother. I met him in a dense forest a few days ago. It is rare to meet a nine-tailed fox in this world, and he is still alive. Isn’t there a saying called When the fellow sees the fellow, his tears are in tears!
I couldn't help but chatted a few more words, we chatted more and more speculatively, we went to a place for a few drinks, he drank too much and told me that he was looking for his mother everywhere!'
faint!Little fox looking for mother? "The Nine-Tailed Fox is also looking for? Why is her mother missing?" Qi Qi asked curiously.
"No, it's his adoptive mother, who is from Wuqiguo." Yang Xiaojiu pondered, thinking about the possibility that the Huahong plant that Grandma Liu mentioned was the same plant as the adoptive mother plant that his little brother said.
"Hey, how could his adoptive mother be from the Wuqi Kingdom? Where are his parents? Why don't you want him? Isn't he very pitiful? Tell me, hurry up, start from the beginning..."
"How do I know this so clearly? He was already drunk when he told me these things. I asked him why he didn't practice and wasted time wandering around in this place where there is not much spiritual energy. He cried and said that he was looking for his adoptive mother." Every year when the secret seal of the demon realm is opened, he will sneak out to look for it, but his mana is not good enough, so he can't stay longer, he can only stay for a few days before going back, I think he still has to practice for a hundred and eighty years It's possible to come and go freely." Yang Xiaojiu shook his head, with a look that he was very badass and embarrassed us Nine-Tailed Fox.
"Hey, who asked you this, why does he want to go back? Where? Is there a special place for goblins to live? Then why don't you little goblins in Mei Ninth Floor go back?"
"They cultivated to be fine in this world. Naturally, they don't need to go back to the demon world. In fact, they can't go if they want to. Do you think anyone can go to the demon world? There is much more aura than here, and the cultivation is faster and the resources are more abundant. Many. The little demons born in the demon realm are underage, so they are not allowed to come out and run around. They are afraid of being captured by people or other big demons to make spiritual pets or kill them. They are demons as soon as they are born in the demon realm. You don’t need to practice hard for hundreds of years to become a monster, and the chances of becoming a monster are so small, this is the difference between pure blood and mixed blood, don’t you know?”
Yang Xiaojiu didn't quite understand what Qi Qi said, and she didn't have time to ask more about it right now, so she'd better find out when she had time later, she was only curious about the story told by Grandma Liu, and the little fox's adoptive mother. Does it matter?So I asked Yang Xiaojiu, "What did that little fox tell you? Tell me, do you think that safflower is his adoptive mother?"
"How do I know this? I'm afraid he doesn't even know. The red flowers that Wuqi people turned into are all the same. How can he recognize them?" Yang Xiaojiu shook her head and sighed. , "He didn't say anything to me, he was so drunk, he held my hand in tears and insisted on telling me a story."
